Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

131: Xel Gio

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a cave not far from Magic Kingdom Haos , but few people come. The reason for this is that the interior terrain changes every time you enter.

I wonder what kind of dungeon it is.

It is rumored that the reason the terrain has changed is because of magic tools somewhere in this cave.

People speculate that changing the terrain is also to keep the intruder away from the magic equipment.

Now, three people and one are stepping into the complex cave.

"This place is as depressing as ever."

It is Lillin who is expressing dissatisfaction with her small tongue. is walking at a constant speed while regularly shaking long, rough red hair

Walking ahead of everyone is a familiar Siuba, who is called a pervert butler by everyone. Next to it is a peach twin tail-made chamoe... and a bird.

"Aren't you tired, Mikazuki?

Quick!

Mikazuki was also there. There is a luggage wrapped around his back and he is taking a strong step forward.

"But you were right to bring the birds! Load up more food!

When Lillin said that, Mikazuki, who thought she had been praised, cried again with joy.

"I was surprised that Hiiro-sama made me human, but I didn't think I could freely change into a monster. But, Mikazuki, if you are tired, please don't hesitate to tell me."

Quick!

As Siuba said, Mikazuki, originally a monster named Ride Peak, acquired the ability to anthropomorphize with the "Character Magic" by meeting Japanese colors, but at the same time, it seems that the specifications were able to return to its original appearance.

That's why when Lily and the others go away from the sun, they take Mikazuki with them as luggage.

Mikazuki didn't complain about being with Shamoe, but rather took the initiative to see if he was happy to help.

"Even so, every time I come here, can't I manage this strange structure, Siuba?

"That's right, I should be able to find the hidden treasure somewhere in this [Shanjumon Cave] and get back to the normal cave..."

This cave is vast. There are several bypass roads underground, like the nest of sea urchins and ants. Once lost, you'll never get out of here.

"Even so, I am not lost because I am the end of the Spirit, but I can't see anything but the hidden treasure."

"Hmm, he lives in a really embarrassing place."

"Yes, but we'll get to him soon, miss."

Speaking to forgive the Lord in a bad mood, he points to one of the multiple holes.

"Let's go straight over there, and he'll be there."

Well, then let's go.

And when the three of them and one of them were about to go straight into the hole,

"Xhhhhhh!"

All of a sudden, a creepy noise sounds from the sky and falls to the ground.

"Oh, a herd of red spiders."

"Hmm, it's common sense that Red Spider, a unique monster, doesn't act in a herd. Is this part distorted by mysterious forces?

"You know what? But it would be a good waste of time. Stay back."

Lillin takes a step forward in front of everyone.

Red Spider is a spider dyed bright red like blood in a letter. But it's bigger than a human. Ordinary people will think of a way to escape the moment they meet.

But Lillin is distorting her mouth pleasantly.

"Well, give it a minute."

Lily's red eyes glowed suspiciously.

Graphically, it was a fierce monster surrounding a little girl, but she clearly feared the presence of Lillin and showed the appearance of starting to fall back.

However, one of them lost to fear and jumped to Lillin with a boring scream.

- Bush!

At that moment, a huge golden nail struck the red spider's body and skewered it to the ground.

"Gi... gah... gah... gah!?

Though still alive, countless nails that don't know where they came from penetrate the Red Spider's body at once. And I ran out in no time.

Lillin just stood with her arms up, smiling.

Fear or fear, the other Red Spiders began to retreat at once, but suddenly one was wrapped in a burning flame, and the other was frozen in frozen ice. Then a mysterious phenomenon occurs, and the monsters die.

"What, it's been less than a minute?

If you sharpen your mouth slightly enough, you'll sigh a little - pussy!

It was a tragic sight until now, but when I snipped my fingers lightly, the space broke like glass, and surprisingly, a flock of Red Spiders lying intact surrounded Lillin.

--- Snap, snap, snap.

Then you hear someone clapping there. The sound came from the hole that I was about to head towards.

That's the Red Rose Witch. The horrors of Dream Magic also seem to be alive.

There was a gentleman with yellow hair smiling.

I didn't look strong enough to be alone in such a dangerous place, but my waist was equipped with a sword that seemed splendid. But above all, the beast ears that are most eye-catching are the beast ears that grow on the head.

"Why don't you stop living in such a bad hobby... Xel?

The man is a weirdo who lives in a strange place like [Shanjumon Cave].

He said that he can do whatever he wants here without being disturbed by anyone.

A man named Xel is a blacksmith. Few people have actually seen him, but his name and accomplishments are famous across three worlds.

― ― ― Blacksmith Xel .

There will be no one working with weapons who doesn't know this name. His arm is so talented that even a leading blacksmith can't reach it.

What he produces is highly regarded and everyone wants it. Especially in these times, it is said that the faction that gained his power will win.

Therefore, the "human race", the "beast race", and the "Magus race" pursued him with bloody eyes.

The pattern of a beast being chased by the King of the Three Realms is strange, but given his strength, everyone was satisfied.

For example, can you slash iron with a sword? The answer is yes or no. A talented man with a considerable swing will be able to slay him with his own arm.

What about the weak old man? If you were a kid, could you just hold a sword and slay it with that shivering arm?

The answer must be extremely difficult. No matter how good a sword you have, you still can't get it without a certain amount of power.

But the swordsmanship that Xel produces has something to deviate from.

There is no need for force, just let the sword touch the iron and leave it to its weight, and the iron will be ripped apart with the feeling of being able to put a blade in tofu.

In addition to the sharpness, he embodied the only uniqueness that no one could do, such as exert his powers on the blade.

Xel succeeded in producing a sword that creates a storm just once, a whip that moves freely by will, and an axe that explodes when touched.

But he saw the tragedy of his weapon and tried to stop it.

However, the kings who decided it was a loss for the world chased him around and eventually ran away, moving to [Shanjumon Cave], where no one would set foot.

Now that he makes knives and other household chores, he goes out to sell them and earns a living.

Of course, when I sell it, I go to [Haos] to disguise myself and not find out.

"By the way, Xel, I'd like you to give me a colorful reply."

Lilyn and the others were heading to his place of residence, where they were facing each other.

Since it is in the cave even if it is a place to live, it is finished with one cave to make it easy to live in. Perhaps this is an exclusive patent for people who specialize in making things.

The floor is covered with mats made of tatami mat material, and there are even scaffolds and bookshelves. Lillin starts pointing at the tea as soon as possible without putting her hands on it.

Kuzel, who was pouring a loud noise and tilting his water, opened his mouth without smiling when he exhaled warmly.

"Lillin, I told you before, but you refused to talk about it.

"Why? It's not a bad story for you either!

He raised his eyes slightly and said, but Xel didn't change his expression.

"Your Place for All to Enjoy." I think it's fascinating, but it's impossible. "

"Fu, you'll have to try the impossible!

I accidentally slap my desk. Ordinary ones will get cracks and cracks, but there are no scratches. This strength is abominably good. Does that mean it's made by Xel?

"I am a little neglectful of the current situation, but I understand that the world is not peaceful."

You know exactly what you're fighting for.

"The children I gave birth to will also be treated in that battle. Well, it depends on the user."

She has a shaded smile that ridicules herself.

The children are the weapons he created.

"I realized I was stupid. Of course, I don't regret having children. But I don't want to see any more children being treated in war under anyone else."

A resentment resembling grief dwells in words. I don't regret making it, but I'm sure you regret giving it to those who came to buy it.

When he was young, he simply thought that the weapons he had made would be useful to someone, that they would be sold to merchants, and that they would easily serve as a basis for making peace. He said that his children wanted to see the world in plenty of ways, but that's all they wanted.

But the merchant did not find the real value of the weapon and sold it easily, packed with gold.

As a result, they stopped in the eyes of the kings and their weapons were used in the war.

"I was really stupid. If I thought about it a little bit, I would have known that my children would be used in war... but I learned that I was too slow to see anything."

The tragedy that struck him.

It was his weapon that was used not only in the war but also in the turmoil, such as bandits, and as a result he was deprived of his family.

If a thief swings a weapon that is capable enough to be anything but a weapon, no matter how powerful it is, it can easily create a tragedy.

I didn't expect that to happen, and Xel's parents were killed, and his wife was killed by the blade....

All I had left was a young child between myself and his wife.

You must have been desperate. They took the lives of their loved ones with a weapon that they created with love.

And the country is approaching to build even stronger weapons.

As it is, you will get involved not only with yourself, but also with this young child.

He decided to leave the child with his wife's sister and to break up with her.

And he made a spear, saying that it was for the protection of his growing child.

So he circled the world, found his weapon, and collected it. However, it seems that it was this [Shanjumon Cave] that made the chase harder and calmed down around.

This story has been heard from him before, so everyone is silent about the grief he bears.

But in that case,

"Master Kuzel, I've told you before about an interesting boy."

"Eh? Ah... that's what you said, Mr. Shiuba."

Siuba spoke with a smile in a dark atmosphere.

"Yes, what a surprise, the young lady here is a source of concern."

"Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke, Ke! No, no, no. What are you talking about? Ha!

I stood up unexpectedly and utterly denied the astonishing remarks.

"No, you idiot! Wow, I'm worried about you! No, why do I have to think about such a Chiang Fu Hiro?!

"Oh? I never mentioned Hiro's name?

Bleeding in his head in an instant against him laughing lowly.

"Yes! Revoke it! Listen, Siuba! He's under my command, no more or less!

Grab his collar and shake him grandiosely, but he looks happy not to return his love.

"Nofofofofofofo! Ladies who want to be honest but can't be honest are special ~! Nofofofofofofo!

"Yeah, shut up, you pervert mistaken butler!

Nofofofofofofofofo!

Xel, who was taken aback by the situation, said, "Hmm!" and Chamoes as usual. Mikazuki is tilting his neck without knowing it, and soon he will return to human form.

Siuba, whose attitude has remained unchanged, stares at him with his breath hanging, but his expression never breaks.

"I'm afraid, my lady."

"Hmm! Once this happens, I'll show you a thick phantom in your brain...."

"But, miss?

"Give it to me... huh?

I was spoken to in the middle of my speech and reacted.

"I'm just talking about something.

"Ah? What the hell...."

"What if Hiro is walking in peace with a woman?

"Fufu, what are you saying? Is there a woman walking in peace with Hiro?

I stretched my chest as if I was drawing a dumb sound behind me.

"No, actually, Hiiro-sama was caught between Lord Yveam and Lord Schblers the other day....."

"What is it!? Oh, my God! Milk! He can't fight milk either!

He also grabs and shakes the collar of Shiuba.

"Nofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofofo

…………

The scene and the surrounding silence...

"Die!

"Bahiuu!?

I let Siuba eat the upper and blew it off.

"Hahahaha... what the hell do you want to do, you idiot! Yeah, die, die!

Kick the butler, who made fun of him and the Lord. In the meantime, Xel said with his eyes open.

"Oh, I'm surprised... Lillin-san, you've been..."

"Hmm? What? You want me to step on it?

When Guillotine and her eyes were peeled, she twitched her cheeks and Xel waved her hand.

"No, thank you.... but... you're happy, Mr. Shiuba."

"Yes, this pain is the earliest pleasure I've ever had."

His eyes glittered as he bled from his nose, and Lillin dropped her shoulders in shock.

"Ho, really, how do you die..."

Whatever it takes, it will come back soon. He is like an immortal incarnation.

"Well, it's a gag part now."

"Gag part? What are you talking about? Finally, it's just my head... no, my head is crazy from the beginning."

"Stay back! You look terrible!

Makes the Siuba that tries to hold her even more ankles.

"... fufu, that's Siuba-sama."

"Hmm? Did you say something, Chamoes?

"No! Don't be ridiculous. I didn't say anything!

The dark mood has become brighter and brighter.

I'm not sure if Siuba is after it yet... but Lillin is somehow aware of what he did with intent. Anyway, it's been a long time. Somehow I get it.

After a while, having a cup of tea with each other,

"Er... what were you talking about?

It's only natural that Xel thinks so. The story derailed too much.

"Ohh! Well, I'm talking about a boy named Hyiro."

Oh, that's right.

I nodded as I remember. Every time, the beast's ears twitched, so she thought it was a little cute.

"That little boy Hiiro, when he was here the other day, he told me a little bit."

When Lillin and the others arrived in the sun, they immediately went to Xel.

As a result, I was separated from the color of the day for about a week, but he said he didn't want to go because it was troublesome, so I had to leave it.

"What happened to the boy?

"Actually, you have it."

"What are you doing?

"It's a gesture made by Master Xel..."

…………

He erases his laughter with Siuba's words and looks back at Siuba with his serious expression.

"Actually, the situation has changed a little, and the first one you had was certainly the Bayonet Tsuranuki."

"... is that so? That girl....."

She closed her eyes as she remembered and immediately opened them again, staring at Shiuba's face.

"He was one of the prototypes I made to produce a sword. Even a prototype should be a pretty good kid. What does it mean to have the child first?

Now we're renaming it "The Sword of the Dead".

"... eh?

Now I'm clearly looking at you as if you were confused.

"Su, please wait! Tsuranuki is in Zangeki? Change your name? Impossible, Zangeki is something I have entrusted to someone. What the hell is going on?

Siuba speaks quietly after a few moments.

"Actually, we've been looking around the magical world for the last six months."

"Yeah, yeah, I heard that. To be honest, I'm surprised you moved from that castle....."

"That's right. That said, it was the castle where the young lady and Lord Xel first met."

Hmm, at that time, I refused to invite you.

Speaking with a pointy mouth, I saw a bitter smile coming from Xel. Well, I understood that he was worried even if he lived hiding there, so I didn't pursue it any further.

"I'll get back to you. During those six months, we met someone."

"Anyone?

"Yes, I'm a blacksmith named Zaff."

"The, it's Zaf...!?

Repeat to confirm Siuba's words, but Siuba stands for affirmation.

"Yes, if I may ask, the disciple of Lord Kuzel."

Xel narrows his eyes and leans his face.

"Disciple... are you a disciple? No, I certainly handled him, but it's just the basics."

This is what happens when you listen to me.

Xel circled the world and stepped into the demonic world. That's where I met a young man named Zaf.

He was also aiming for a blacksmith, and there was a good master, but he was depressed as if he had made a big mistake, and it seemed that he talked to him.

For Xel, who had lost his passion as a blacksmith, his passion was not dazzling, but he taught the fundamentals of blacksmithing with an old woman's heart.

It was only a week ago, but he was a good swallower and a good blacksmith.

It seems that she was called a teacher while teaching, but Xel thinks she can't call her an apprentice even though she only teaches for such a short period of time.

"The basics are very easy to understand, and I was told that I owe it to Lord Xel."

"... is that so?"

Aren't you a little embarrassed? The technique of scratching Polypoly and cheeks with a stinking smell was like a child. He didn't officially have an apprentice, so he wouldn't feel bad if he said so.

"The Zaf was in your possession. Deadly Sword Zangeki

"I guess so. I gave it to him when I broke up. As a reward for a week of hard work. I decided that he would not treat the child underground. But Zangeki must have finished his job and become useless."

As he was right, Zaf showed me the Sword of Absolute Zangeki, whose sword was broken from the middle and could not be used as a sword at the earliest.

"When I found her, she was already in that state. But I wanted to bury him, and I carried him with me, and Zaf wanted him."

That's why I gave you a reward. Because you can't hurt people with that.

"You are right, Master Xel. But he wanted to revive Zangeki."

Huh?

"In order for you, my teacher, to catch up with me and admit it, I want my dead sword to shine again with my own hands."

"... Zaf did that? No, that would be difficult. She is the finished prototype I mentioned earlier. No matter how good your skills are, you'll need the right ingredients to revive them again. It's a very ordinary sword material.... ah"

Xel glanced at Siuba's face as if she had noticed. Siuba nods to answer.

"There was Hiiro among us. And he was in possession of the prototype Tsuranuki that you created."

"... did you synthesize it?

He reaches the answer and asks the question with a stunned expression.

Yes, Zaf, who happened to be passing by and saw the Japanese bayonet Tsuranuki, begged him to use it to build the sword Zangeki.

But I refused at first because I didn't want to leave my sword with someone who didn't know the color of the sun. Still, I asked him many times and asked him to show me his arm for the time being, and the color of the day set the conditions.

When Zaf took Suncolor to his workshop, it seemed that there was an impressive sight for Suncolor. There were various kinds of swords there.

It doesn't matter to Lily that the sword is a Japanese color that I have seen a lot, but I didn't see much of the sword, but it seems that the Japanese color is in love with the shape of the sword, and I nodded with satisfaction when I saw the decorated sword.

And indeed, every sword was well made. Still, I couldn't find anything beyond the sunny bayonet, Tsuranuki. But I brought Zaf's broken Sword Zangeki.

The colour of the day I saw it seemed to have been taken away even though it was broken. I was telling the fact that I obviously liked it.

I would love to see this sword come back to life. I was told that I would give you the sword that I could make, and I accepted the Japanese colour in two replies.

It took a lot of time to build a sword. However, the two swords were amalgamated and Zangeki was reborn.

Siuba asked if he really wanted to let go of the sword, but he said it was on condition that he gave it to him. Moreover, he was satisfied with having produced a sword.

But I was asked for one thing. If I ever meet Xel, I want you to show me the sword.

"And now I'm here because of Master Xel. I said thank you."

"... you've become a fine blacksmith."

Emotional or far-sighted Xel. However, in the next sentence, Xel's expression is strong.

"Hiiro, with his sword, won a duel against the Beast Clan."

"... you're using Zangeki for war?

I was staring at Shiuba with harsh eyes that were different from before.

As Siuba was staring at Xel, suddenly an explosion sounded in the cave.

Then a shake occurs and the debris falls from the ceiling made of earth walls.

"What's going on?

Lillin turned her eyes towards the exit and kept her suspicious expression.

A monster?

"No, the monsters who live here will not behave like they break their habitat. I can assume that the explosion was not caused by a monster...."

The answer was Xel, who was familiar with this [Shanjumon Cave].

"Wow, that's funny. Does that mean that someone other than the walruses, who likes things, has stepped in?

"... I can't say for sure, but perhaps..."

"... the question is, what did he come here for? I can think of one thing....."

Turning to Xel, he shook his neck sideways.

"No, I don't think so."

"Well, on what grounds?

"I always dress up when I go out, and I'm very careful when I come back here."

"Hmm, that's a problem that a skilled tailor can easily break through."

In fact, if the Japanese color followed the other person, if the characters such as "transparent" and "hidden form" were used a lot, almost no one would notice it.

Also, if you can see not only the color of the sun, but also good detectives, it will not be detectable by ordinary people.

Xel is not an ordinary person either, but it may be difficult for someone with the ability to follow him.

"That's right. But there's another reason."

"What is it?"

"I think the noise is probably a sign of someone fighting with the monsters here, but if you came looking for me, you should take it down in a more gentle way. This is because I only understand the signs, and now there is a danger that I will be given extra vigilance and run away. I don't think a good tailor would do it."

So even if someone comes here, it's not about Xel. Lillin agreed with the idea.

"And no matter how good a tail is, I can't keep him from being really alert to me."

"... I guess so."

Xel is never complacent. Indeed, it is almost impossible to follow him quietly, being serious and vigilant. Unless you use irregular Japanese magic...

"Then for what purpose... no, there was one thing."

"What is it?

"Well, let's see if we can find out. A mysterious intruder."

When Lily distorted her face pleasantly, Siuba stood up slowly and nodded back.

"Chamoe, and... are you asleep?"

What entered my eyes was Mikazuki, who was sleeping on the shamoe's lap pillow.

Perfect. You stay here.

Wow, I see.

Shamoe answers quietly so as not to wake Mikazuki.

Let's go, Siuba.

"I'm afraid, young lady."

With all due respect, Siuba walks forward so that she can be Lily's shield at any time.

"What should I do?

"Whatever you want... but it's not like the intruder is after you. You can hide here with the Chamoes."

"... I see."

"I'll find out the requirements and come back soon. Well, it might get a little rough if they cut white, Kuku."

I just wanted to refresh the depressed atmosphere. I don't know what the intruder came here for.

(It might be more boring)

I followed after Siuba thinking she wanted me to have a little fun.
