When the sky was getting dark, we were discovered by a search party organized by Alicia and the others, and we were able to leave the woods normally without any obstacles. I'm walking with the search party to the Lukeswaid kingdom, which is now in sight. Iris, tired of going out for a long time, and Lulu, still too young to stay up late because of her body, are asleep in the carriage that the search party brought, where I walk with the soldiers as they escort the carriage. Leila's on the carriage, and Finia's on my shoulder.

"Death Size Hand" continues to grant "Air Manipulation," so the state remains the "Sick God (Dorothy)", a sword formed of a pitch-black blade. If you have to, just shake it gently and you can attack, so just keep this state and you're in a good position to fight.

More importantly, the danger can be almost avoided by spreading "Genomic Search" in this state.

And, well, I don't know what reason Wilhelm decided to let us get out of that space, but even now that we've apparently managed to get out of that space, we still can't break our guard.

By the way, I asked someone from the search party about Leishe and the others... apparently she left immediately after she told Alicia about us. After the search party was formed, they went to the Inn and Adventurers Guild, but they didn't seem to be there.

Just a little, I'm curious.

"Hey, tough guy, not a single warcraft showed up earlier, but aren't you around here?

"Hmm... the Warcraft is moving to avoid us from now on."

"Really? Mr. Tight."

Whoa, when I returned it normally to Noel's query, it took the form of talking to Finia who couldn't perceive Noel. Well, the conversation goes on, okay?

As the words say, the warcraft around us have been moving to avoid us with their natural flow since earlier. It's not that you're particularly afraid of us, it's just a sign that it's happening as a result of some movement. Is this Wilhelm's fault... or is it a coincidence, what do you think?

If it's a coincidence, I'm inside today. Well, the ghost is possessed, too.

"Well, I just don't want to come,"

"Well, hey, you're tired today"

"Fuhihihi..."

There's no danger for now. I've never crossed it. I keep walking next to the carriage. [M] Are the leashes going to be okay? It's no stranger to hear about me from the Demon King than Wilhelm has attacked us. Then it wouldn't be strange if there was talk not just about me, but about Leishe and Mr. Doran. For Christ's sake, Leishe and Mr. Doran were there when we fought the Demon King.

Then...... those two are likely targeted as well. It's not unlikely Wilhelm was the only one sent in.

Besides, I kind of have a bad feeling about it...... I get heartbeat.

"Arrived -"

I was just a little focused on my thoughts, and I heard Noel. Looking forward, there stood the gates of the entrance to the kingdom of Luxhide. Apparently, he was walking here without realizing it. Well, you already saw it in front of you, and you'll get there soon enough.

He lowered his head gently to the soldiers, then dived the gate, held Lulu asleep from the carriage, and returned his heel to return to the inn. Leila comes down from the carriage too. I'll follow you.

Though I thought it was delicious, I didn't shake it off. Because Leila did her best today. A reward of this magnitude would be good.

Then a little, I was walking towards the inn. Every time I walked, I was surprised by the anxiety that sprang up in my chest. What is it, this feeling... I looked to the side and Leila had some strange look on her face. Maybe Leila feels the same way.

The anxiety of recruiting is backwards, and the foot to the inn deviates. If I had noticed, I would have walked early to the inn.

And turn the corner - it's the moment the inn enters sight.

"Mm-hmm - smell of blood...?

Lulu, who was carrying me on my back, woke up with his eyes. Smell the blood.

To Lulu's words, I stare at the inn. Although dark, these left eyes have some good vision because they have good night vision.

When I saw it, there was a red and black color at the entrance to the inn. It's like I saw it in the basement of a haunted mansion, a red color... of blood, a color.

At that moment, me and Leila kicked the ground at the same time. Lulu and Finia are following me because they are on my shoulder and back. Noel, too, comes naturally as a result of the contract. Leila is faster than I am, so Leila is the one who gets to the inn first.

And when I looked inside the inn, I saw Leila give me a surprise look. I'll be right behind you, too, looking inside the inn.

Then...

"This, is...!?

- There was a blood-stained dining room there. And rolling there is... a human who should have been enclosing that blood. The human beings who were supposed to have stayed in this inn, as well as the corpses of the hostess and cook who ran the inn.

And among them was Leishe, whose chest was pierced with a sword, and Mr. Drun, who sank into a bloodbath. I can't see my face, but neither one of us can move. It's as if he's dead... dead?

"Huh!"

The moment I thought so, I approached the two of them immediately. Mr. Doran... he still had breath. Immediately use "Beginning Crossing" to return to intact condition.

And Leishe was - totally, dead.

My eyes were vain, I had no breath, I could not feel the sound of my heart, the heartbeat of my pulse, nothing... I was just turning into a corpse. I can't believe it, I use "beginner crossing." Leishe's body wound went back to normal and left intact. But the stopped life remains stopped... there is no going back. You can't move.

Is it because the sword remains pierced? Oh, yeah...... my sword stays stabbed, so my fatal wounds aren't healing.

That's why I pull out the sword and use "Beginning Heart Crossing" again. Her chest wound blocked...... but her death, it doesn't cover.

"Why? That's crazy...... Lieche, why are you dead?

I said that in the same tone as usual, so frightened of myself.

Lieche is dead. Lieche is dead. Lieche is dead. Why, why? Why? I don't know.

- Do you want to go with Da?

My mind caught something to bother with. A feeling I've felt somewhere before... oh sure, when Leila's heart was broken or Lulu was dying... I fell into this feeling.

But what is it now? More black emotions overflow than then. I can't get my thoughts together. What is this? Was Leishe a corpse? He must have been alive.

"Mr. Tight! Hold on!

"Huh... Finia?... Leishe is dead."

"Huh... First we have to look for the cause that made this situation...!

I tell Finia as she touches her body. [M] Then Finia said so after she had a look that pushed her emotions to death. I felt irritated by Finia's words as she scratched me in the chest. [M] Oh, I can't take it anymore that Leishe is dead...... that frustration is going to be directed at Finia and I don't like myself.

Take a big, deep breath... and work your thoughts to find the cause.

Based on what's going on in this dining room, there's definitely been a fight first. And Mr. Doran fought from the front and lost. This would mean that there were more enemies than the B-rank. Assuming he's the one who's been after Mr. Doran and the others who were staying at the inn must have eaten the convoy.

And Leishe is losing her weapon in a battle with Wyburn. That's why I couldn't fight properly... so they killed me.

"... Ohhhh! Damn!!"

"Tight you..."

I checked the current situation and became unnecessarily irritated. Leila looks worried about me. I suppressed it a lot, though I was about to hit Leila with frustration. It doesn't make sense to hit her with frustration here.

If you have someone who killed Leishe... it's Soytz who bumps this emotion.

Besides, Leila doesn't have that much fellowship besides me or Finia in the first place, so maybe Leishe isn't as shocked as I am if she's dead. First of all, you're a demon... I can't help blaming you for that.

"... Tight, are you okay?

"Dear Tight......"

"...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Noelle and Lulu call out to me like I'm worried. If you noticed, Finia and all the others were worried about me. Compared to what I'm worried about... I don't call you out like I did now, but I let my thoughts down.

"... In the meantime, let's do something about the misery in this room. Leila, Mr. Doran let me sleep in my room... oh yeah... Leishe too... will you take me to my room for once?

"... yeah ♪ ok ♡"

Leila accepted my instructions in the same tone as usual. You must have tried to cheer me up a little by acting like you always do. Thankfully.

"Lulu and Finia, gather the corpses of the ladies. Clean your body at least with" Beginning Crossing "... we'll leave it to the knights of the country"

"Okay... Tight, take a rest."

"We'll do it..."

"No... it's okay, I'll help you too"

And Finia and Lulu cared about me, too. Even Finia and Lulu must think Leishe's death is sad. That's why I can't be the only one resting.

Stand up and hang the 'beginner crossing' from the corpse rolling nearby. After all, my body wounds just heal and I never breathe back. That fact is still hard.

A hot clear Shizuku falls into his own hand touching the second body. The vision distorted and tears conveyed the identity of Shizuku, who fell down his cheek. I can't stop crying out loud and nibbly. Strange, but if you don't whimper, you don't cry. There's no reason for my expression to collapse, it's just... tears just went away.

Oh...... if it weren't for Finia, Lulu, Leila and Noel here, they could have crushed it. Really, dependable... let me just lean on these four dependable people who support me right now?

"Ah... I didn't die on my own, Leishe's side..."

I was so strong when I tried to hide the tears from Finia and the others. [M]
