Instant Death

After Marne, Chichikas followed.

The city of Kadan seems to be quite large, but there is something inferior to what Chichika and the others have seen so far.

Previously, there were signs of different worlds of technology and magic being applied in the city, but there was no such thing in the city.

Most buildings are wooden, bungalows or two floors, and the roads are unpaved and the ground is uneven.

"Something simple."

"I don't think the area dominated by the wise men I've ever seen was quite wealthy."

Most wise men look down on those but arrogant and wise. Care for the common people living in the dominant areas would not apply.

But even as wise men, I guess I didn't like the fact that the country and the city I live in are miserable.

Therefore, it seems that considerable infrastructure development, investment in the environment and improvement of social welfare were carried out.

I mean, I guess the West Ent without them is an area that doesn't matter to the wise Yoshifumi.

"This way."

Marne walks into a bungalow house. The Chichikas also continued later. It also came with Vivian, naturally.

Passed through the living room, the night fogs lined up and onto the table.

Marne sat across the street and Vivian also tried to sit but was stopped.

You, stand up.

"Huh?"

"Why, I don't know what they're talking about, you look like. I'm telling you to reflect!

"Yes......"

It was a scattered treatment instead of royalty.

"Well. Who are you people?

"Who... right. You know a wise man is summoning people from different worlds?

The night fog seems to have decided to answer honestly.

"Summoning? Never heard of it, but can the sages do that?"

In the city I have stayed in so far, the presence of the otherworlds was public, but seemed unknown here.

"We are human beings of different worlds summoned by wise men. Joshifumi, the wise man here himself, must have come from different worlds."

Probably Yoshifumi is a Japanese name.

It is likely that many people are coming to this world from Japan.

"... if you ask me, you don't look like the guys around here. I thought it was a race that I didn't even see sage... but I guess you're through with sage, aren't you?

"I'm going to go see him now, but so far, he's the only one with a name."

What kind of errands?

"We want to go back to our original world. I need an item from a wise man for that. I want to get it somehow."

"Ha! What a far-fetched thing to say you want to get, but you're going to kill me anyway! But you can't let that get takato yogiri! Because we, the Resistance, need to defeat the wise and take back our country for the rebuilding of our kingdom!

"... vivian... ahhh... really, ahhh..."

Marne said smudged.

Chichichika wondered if that was somehow the case, but there are anti-imperial forces lurking in this city, and Vivian and Marne are probably part of it.

"Um, I'm not going to say this at all, either, but is it like you're looking to overthrow the state with Vivian as your flag?

"It's a quest. It's been designated. It's not like I'm hiding it now."

"What about adventurers and quests?

Night fog asks.

That word, as if it were a game, was of concern to Chichika as well.

"It's a sage game. The eastern ones, they come to the west and they're questing. They're exorcising demons. We're going to have to work with that."

"Is that it? I heard you can't come and go west and east?

"Except for the adventurer. I hear there's a magical passage where only adventurers can get through everything."

"How do you use that?

"You can't. In order to use the aisle, they need to register adventurers with the Adventurer Guild in the east. Naturally, it's none of our business living here."

"So I guess I'll just have to go to the Elf Forest"

"Did Vivian tell you that, too?

"Hey! Something suddenly weakened the elves. Now's your chance, so I didn't even tell you to ride in the elf woods!

Vivian pinched her mouth just saying it was outside her heart.

"... Vivian... will you stop talking..."

Marne said as exhausted.

"It feels like a mess from the end of the conversation."

"It's like it was a mistake to have you present"

"That's what I mean. We head to the Elf Forest tomorrow. I don't care who you are. I have to interrupt. That's fine."

"What happened to weakness?

"... well, it's just not enough to hide it because it's something you can tell by looking around there for a second. Something strange happened two days ago."

They say the city people suddenly collapsed.

Until then, those who were healthy suddenly fell and died without any foretaste.

The fallen were varied and found nothing particularly in common.

The people of the city were scared that it was a mysterious illness, but after that there was no particular increase in damage.

They fell and took their breath at the same time.

And the phenomenon didn't just happen to people in the city.

There were animals and animals that were dying at the same time.

If you look it up, the phenomenon was happening outside the city as well.

Even wildlife and plants had similar deaths coming.

I didn't know what caused it, but it seems that at some point anyway, various flora and fauna died at once.

"And does that mean that the elves may be dead, too?

"Oh. I thought maybe. Someone went to check it out. He said there was no disturbance of the elves to the extent that he went into the woods a little. I don't know how far this phenomenon is spreading, but I also see that it affected the elves. Ma, either way, I'm gonna have to go to the Elf Forest now. They found us."

"What is it that makes it easier for Elf Forest to pass, too?

The fog looked difficult at night.

"No... it's my fault you're dead."

The night fog whispered and blurred.

"What do you mean?

"There was a man named Izelda on the ship."

"Oh, someone who was all like me?

Chichika remembered what happened on the boat.

They were delighted to say things they didn't know were obvious.

"Yeah. They were all Iselda somehow. I wasn't just there, I was all over the world."

"Yeah?"

"I don't know how you're doing it, but I'm guessing you've been adding more Iserda to the rest of the world"

"You're gonna die like that!?"

"If even one of those hands survives, it will come back from there. If we're going to kill him, we need to eradicate him."

"... yeah. I'm not going to criticize Takahiro right now, but God has to do something about this guy. I can't help it, it's..."

What I was doing to protect myself was unscrupulous.

But I guess that's what it means to be protected by night fog. The larger the size of the enemy, the greater the impact of its response.

"This is what we're talking about."

"Well, what are you going to do with us?

"I won't do anything about it. I thought I'd be in trouble if I were an Imperial associate, but it wasn't like that."

"We're going to the woods, too."

"Do as you please with that, too. It's not something we can impose. But you do. I'd appreciate it if you could do it after tomorrow. If that's all right with you, I'll lend you this house so you can take your time."

"What do we do?

"Well, I'm not in a hurry."

I also know Chika wants to go back to the original world if she can.

But I've been traveling relaxed.

It doesn't mean we fight every second of every day.

"Well, I'll let you stay."

"Bye. 'Cause I have a lot to prepare for, too."

Marne threw the key and gave it to him, leaving the room.

"Vivian's not going?

"... Aunt Marne's back said it was disturbing..."

"Aren't there a lot of disadvantages to leaving this guy?

"I don't know if that means there's any more talk of leaks and trouble..."

"Well, that's okay. Let's go for dinner, too. It's like a big city out there. There's something going on."

The last time we ate was on the back of the descending dragon, and then quite some time passed.

"Then I'll show you around!

"Why not?"

"Because you can't let a very bad guy like Takato Yogiri go wild in the city!

"Hey. Are you really going to take me down?

"Of course not! 'Cause I got God's revelation."

"If you're serious, I'll give you some advice. You shouldn't get along with the person you might kill. Because it's hard later."

"Hmm! There's no way it's hard to kill you!

Vivian didn't seem to be willing to accept the advice properly.

The night fogs came to the tavern, guided by Vivian.

Per table, order appropriately and wait for food.

I didn't order liquor, although it was in the tavern.

"I don't think you have to worry about Japanese law because it's a different world."

"Asaka said I shouldn't drink it."

Did you make extra mistakes with alcohol, Takayuan Asahi, the parent of your upbringing, had advised you so many times.

"If Mr. Tannoura wants a drink, you can ask for it."

"No, we don't drink, either."

"Mm-hmm. Drinking definitely degrades your performance. It's really nonsense for a martial artist to drink on a regular battlefield."

He said he didn't have time to name a swordsman or martial artist who was attacked and killed where he was drunk.

"Back in the day, some of them are drunk and exorcised, no"

"I thought you were going to drink and ramble! Then I'll pay you back."

I thought it was just guidance, but Vivian was also present.

"There's that, too. I don't know what's going to happen if I get drunk and I'm unconscious."

"Takahiro-kun just thinks about a runoff or something..."

"That's right, what's an elf forest?

Night fog asked Vivian.

"Hey, what?

"I know you need to go through to the east side. But it just doesn't make sense that I went east. The opponent is a wise man, even if he defies the Empire. You can't beat him by half-baked means, can you?

"Heh heh! You have me strong enough to fight a wise man here!

"That's from this morning, isn't it? I thought you were going to the Elf Forest for a while."

"And I don't know! If I say anything more, Aunt Marne will piss me off again!

Vivian just said there was something going on.

"Well, I asked, but I don't care."

For the night fog, it was not a matter of what the Vivians Resistance would do or what would happen.

"Then why did you ask! I knew you were a very bad guy!

"I'm intrigued. So, I'm curious to hear you're upset, but why are you protecting me? Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to be killed by those bandits?

I asked him about the night fog that was getting nagging near the summit of the mountain.

"It's..."

"If some bandit kills us, our powers will disappear. It is the power of the Apostle that I have acquired. It's really not convenient to lose it."

The voice was heard from the table next door.

Looking next door, a busty looking boy with an eyelid sat down.

"The power of the Apostle disappears when Takato Yogiri dies. but power remains as a reward only for the apostle who killed Takato Yogiri. So there's the woman. Shall I have you dead?"

Saying so, the boy slowly dragged his knife out of a space of nothing.

"That's cooler than the ability for a shield to come out"

The night fog raised an exclamation.

Although it has a slightly playful attitude, it looks like he has practiced how much and how he takes out the knife.

"Ya, even the shield is cool!

As opposed, Vivian also made shields appear.

"It's nice to get out in an instant, but it's too much to do, and it's not a good performance"

"If you can't get it out!?"

"But why am I on my own, trying to fight between the apostles?

I didn't know what was going on in the fog at night.
