Instant Death

The Chichikas rode the carriage and continued their journey.

The destination for now is the port in the Kingdom of Blair.

The Kingdom of Blair was a neighbor to the Kingdom of Lindy, which has a fighting god city, and should have been reachable in a few days if it had gone straight down the street.

So far so good.

That's what I thought, the carriage suddenly stopped and Chichika was surprised.

I just took a lunch break earlier, and I didn't plan on stopping for a while.

"We've got a little trouble."

This one was also revealed through the wall.

This one also controlled your Acacia robot.

"What do you mean?

"Take a look outside."

Chichika honestly looked out the window and forward.

There were giant thorns.

A pointed stone pillar was piercing the middle of the road.

It must have come down from above. That was the shock pierced, and the road paved with cobblestone was semi-destructed.

"Oops. Sure this... can't be bypassed?

Basically, carriages can only run on paved roads.

If you look around, the stone columns were poking a bunch of them all over there.

Even if we manage to move forward, the roads are even further divided.

"The armored car was handy. I did what I had to."

The night fog brought up something even more.

This is a plateau, which consists of grass and rocks, except on pavement roads.

An armoured car that used to ride would be able to step off the road, but would soon get stuck in a carriage.

"For example, what if Takahi-kun breaks this big thorn?

"That might get us out of the way, but we can't fix the broken road."

"Besides, it's good to see you again."

A short distance away, the armed men had fled.

The giant thorn caught my eye first, and I didn't immediately notice it.

"Wow!

The thorn falls.

It crushed the soldiers, pierced them deep into the plateau, and scattered dirt and sand all around them.

If you look closely, something red and black snaps around the roots of the other thorns.

The thorns seemed to be coming down from above, aiming at the soldiers.

"Shouldn't we get away with this?"

"It's going to be okay for a while. But it can't be like this."

Night fog has the ability to feel the danger of death.

Seems safe according to it, but it wasn't what I found out how long that would last.

"I am also the one who names the Demon King. You can't run away and hide, but it's a waste of time. Why are you after my life in the first place?

Then suddenly I heard a woman's voice.

"Kokosan. I always thought it was that one, but suddenly I said something like a demon king..."

'No! Why do you have to suddenly let the Demon King come and visit you!

"You're about to hear it."

Night fog removed a small gem from his uniform pocket.

Celestina from Concierge has prepared this magic kit for language translation.

The neckline was originally decorative, but the night fog, which was troublesome to put on the neck, was used by removing the tip.

"Hmm. That sounds like you're also picking up public channel communications, translating and outputting them."

"What do you mean?

"That's it. You want power, I'll give it to you. You're the one who hears a targeted voice coming from nowhere!

"That's rough!? The point is, it's like telepathy, right?

"Well, that's it."

Apparently, there is a means of communication between gift holders, but this magic item also translated.

"Shut up, demon king! You're tormenting innocent people, but you're dead! Be quiet, they'll destroy you!

"Hmm. But it would be bad because you guys are in our sphere of activity"

He said, "What?

'We're just enjoying the hunt. Hunt affordable prey that is in range of activities. Wouldn't that be something you guys are doing, too?

"Don't be ridiculous! Humans are not like animals!

'You guys have different wisdom than animals. If you know you're going to be hunted, you can move your base of activity. Why can't you do that? Why are you trying to challenge us to a reckless battle? Hmm. Still doesn't seem so different from animals, does it?

The voice of the brave was also heard from the translator.

He doesn't seem to be anywhere near here, but he's fighting with his tongue.

"If it's the final showdown, why don't you do it at Demon King Castle or something!?"

Chichika shouted just that it was annoying.

I happen to pass the scene of the final showdown between the Demon King and the Brave.

It shouldn't be possible, but if it's done outdoors, it's possible.

Chichika and Night Mist had encountered exactly such occasions.

Of course that's a coincidence.

I don't want to go out of my way to see the Battle of the Brave and the Demon King, etc., nor do I want to stick my neck in it.

Demon kings in this world are not particularly threatening beings in the world, and their dangers are local.

The demon kingdom is the demon kingdom and its head is the demon king, and even when I said the battle between the demon king and the brave, it was just a matter of the country and the country being contested.

The trend in that battle has no impact on the world. Even if the Demon King's side triumphed, it was only a part of the force map of this world would be rewritten, and it was supposed to be an event unrelated to the Chichikas.

"In the meantime, let's sort things out"

"Uhm. No harm done here so far, but I don't think it's very relaxing."

"Let's react some more! Brave men and demon kings, right? Not an unprecedented fantastic development!

"And even if you say so. Brave guys were like Hanakawa or something, right? Well, isn't that unusual?

"Hanakawa-kun was at a brave party last time he transferred, and he defeated the Demon King?

Apparently there are several demonic nations, all in conflict with humans.

From neighboring countries, the Demons are a threat, and they may summon people from different worlds as a means of confrontation.

"Speaking of which, why are you bothering to summon me?

"No way!?"

"People from different worlds are prone to powerful gifts, etc. Hence, Hanakawa and Yamato should have been quite the same. '

"I don't care about Hanakawa, what are we going to do?"

"Let's turn back. I don't think I can fix the road."

"But was there another way?

'Mm-hmm. That was pretty much the main road up to here. I just turned back, there may be no other way'

"Then I knew we'd have to move on, wouldn't we? Leave the carriage alone and ride the horse."

"The Invincible Horse that the Invincible Legion left behind. Whether it's some bad road or not, couldn't the kid ride a horse?

"Can a horse ride two?

"There's nothing I can't do, but isn't it hard if you're not used to it?

"I think it's better than walking. We just have to get to the harbor."

The luggage is in a rucksack with night mist, so you can just take that.

This is more of a magic trick than it looks.

With all the equipment and food needed for the camp, there shouldn't have been a problem without a carriage.

"What!? Suddenly the Demon King... we won!

'You did it, brave man!

I heard voices like that as I was preparing to travel on horses.

"Huh? What is this..."

I had a bad feeling, Chichika asked.

"Oh. Where we are, Demon King? because he was in the area of range attack."

"I thought so!

I didn't mean to cling my neck to the showdown between the brave and the demon king, but the night fog was automatically defeating the demon king.
