Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

141: Known Murder

Avoros, who watched the starry sky slowly on the terrace alone, only opens his mouth dressed as it is, in response to signs of approaching from behind.

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

"Ha!"

"How about a tail?

"Without delay. Reports say we have captured the Queen and Princess Lilith."

"Yeah, you're good. But I wasn't surprised that the Impact King would escape without even fighting back."

As Avoros put it, after declaring war on Judom, he fled the scene at first sight.

As for Avoros, who had fought before, I stomped that if I provoked him, he would come towards me hot...

"Outside, you've grown. The young man of that time."

Nostalgia filled me with thoughts and nostalgia about Judom and his first relative past, and I laughed.

Yes, when he was just a freshman adventurer, it came to me as if he was yesterday, poking at me like a boar even if it was just a little provocative.

This is how it stops in its own time, but undoubtedly the flow of time is proof that it is moving.

"What will you do?

"Mm-hmm. Even if he is a rank SSS adventurer. Ex, though. But its strength is origami. If it was one-on-one, they might be in danger..."

"Are you that much of a man to do?

"Hmm? Oh, well, you don't know his powers. Yeah, he's a man who knows all the shocks. Whether it's a magic battle, a flesh-bomb battle, it can be tough to challenge alone."

"That's it..."

"What are you talking about? Didn't you understand a little bit? 'Cause you've been flying the scent of flowers to Impact King ever since you got here, haven't you? Yet it didn't make sense to him. Well, I guess I was more aware of and dealing with the Kainabi attack than that."

Kainabi bites his teeth with regret, but Avoros smiles with pleasure.

"I'm letting some of the dead serve me at once, but they seem to be kicking me brilliantly...... I don't know what to do"

Tilt his little neck, and after making a thought face for a while, he moves his eyebrows and narrows his eyes when he realizes that there are piquns and avoros. And I stared at the streets spreading beneath my eyes.

"... well, you're going to turn to the enemy."

Unlike Avoros earlier, the expression includes loneliness somewhere.

"Sire?"

"... yeah, it's nothing. Something funny just happened."

……

Avoros looked up at the starry sky again.

And I don't tell anyone, I whine.

"I got my country... Kukukuku"

The ferocious news that [Victorias] had fallen into Avoros' hands had soon reached [Beast Kingdom/Pacion] as well.

And now it also comes naturally into the sun-colored ears that are staying there.

Initially, the Japanese colour, which did not have much information from the human world, was the first to know then that Rudolph, the king, had been disturbed or that Judom, as his substitute, was putting the country together.

Especially distracted by the newspaper Rudolph Distraction. Information says it was monstered by Avoros' subordination......

(Whatever. Well, you're living an ironic life, Fool King.)

It seemed like he was going to take the 'Demon Nation' he hated himself on his hands, but I thought it was too pathetic a life where he was the one who was turned into a monster who was betrayed by the 'Demon Nation' and whose words could not be properly spoken.

I don't know where his real body was or anything like that.

There's no way to be sure now if it was really meant to make the world peaceful, or if you just wanted to make sense of the fact that you sacrificed your daughter.

It's just that he has been twisted at someone's convenience down the road he was pushing until then, making it a worthy end of the line to die for.

(A king who had summed up humans would turn into a monster............ a tumultuous fall life)

I thought you wouldn't die a busy way, but I just didn't think of it as becoming a monster, etc.

(And you're that temple demon king, you've moved in earnest)

Thought some movement would be in the near future, but it was an unexpected fact that it was a takeover of [the human country].

The sun is now facing Leo Wood in the Throne Room, but I heard the report at that time. I also found out that they, Matal Deus, were leaping everywhere.

"Hiiro, what do you think they're going to do?

"You conquer the world, right?

"... No, I know that..."

Leo Wood talks in a sigh like a shudder, but he shouldn't have said anything wrong. Whatever it is, it is because Avoros proclaimed it so in front of us.

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure we should try to gather information now. Even if their ultimate goal is to conquer the world, no doubt Koch will suffer in the process."

"Um, Hiiro's right. The Demon King and I need to keep the information secret and put in place measures."

Uhit, the proud brainchild of [Beast Kingdom/Pacion], was on his way to the lab he was giving himself, but when he tried to open the door to that room, he felt signs of someone from inside.

When I slowly opened the door to confirm that someone, I leaked my voice to admire "ho ho ho" when I saw who was there.

"Oh, my God, this was a rare customer."

The person has long ears, just like Uhit, and this again wears white clothes. Moreover, they were both white coats of yore yore, and not only were they similar, but their faces were somewhat alike.

But that's natural. I am now in front of Uhit because I am Larasyk, the real sister whose blood is connected to Uhit.

"Well, I never wanted to come to a place like this."

You look like a child pointing your mouth to overflow stupidity. She threw a pench-like tool in her hand at the table poignantly.

"Oh, I hope you don't treat me like that abusively!

In a hurry, Uhit takes the tools thrown at the table and exhales in a ho to see if they are safe.

"As always, it seems that only things related to my research matter"

"Nyohohohohoho! You shouldn't, Lara! This is Hola, you can't look at this!

The tool in my hand had more than one like a switch when I looked closely, and when Uhit pressed it, the tool, which was pencil-type, moved as if it were an assembly puzzle with Kashakasha, instantly turning into a negative driver.

…………

"Nyohohohohoho! And if you do this!

Press the switch again, this time in the form of a hammer.

"Hola hola! Isn't that convenient! Lara plays lets too!

"I can't believe this!

"Ahhh!?

Larasyk, handed a tool by Uhit, threw it in the toolbox he kept in the corner.

"Ugh... Hih, that's a terrible thing..."

Youhit was moaning in tears from under his glued glasses, but Larasyk stared at it in a chilling manner.

Besides research idiots, Uhit cares about what concerns research as if it were a family. She finds it depressing because she always boasts about Larasyk, especially when it comes to what she creates.

"Better than that..."

"Oh, better than that!? Oh, my God, Lara! These kids are like my kids!

"Yes, yes, okay, okay. Apologize. I'll give you a good drink next time. Forgive me."

"I'm not interested in booze or anything!

To a bright red, angry Uhit on his face, Larasyk leaks his sighing head in a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry. By the way, what happened to the knife thing?

"Ugh, I can't tell you how sorry I am at all... okay. Uh, by example knife, are you talking about me?

Youhit points to an object wrapped in a red cloth that is housed on a shelf.

"Well, that's it."

Larasyk removes each piece of the knife from the cloth and checks the contents.

"So? You had Hiiro look into it, didn't you?

"Nyohohohohoho! You're right! Absolutely amazing investigative ability, so please! Nyohohohoho!"

"It's a contradiction, though. So? What is this knife's identity?

"Ho, does Lara still care?

"Well, even eagles are at the mercy of researchers. I've looked into this knife at Leo's request, but I didn't know anything about it."

Shoulder to shoulder, she takes the knife and stares at its suspiciously glowing blade area.

"A blade made by machining the" Doft Fill "present in Monarch Kraken. Its potency is to make it easier to pass through overwhelming hardness and magic. There's no theory at all about what you can do to dry up Aragorn."

"Well, that's true. Because the blade doesn't mean that much in the first place."

"... Huh?

Approaching her that solidifies like a pocan and a void poked at her, Uhit receives a knife. And point to a part.

"I had liver."

"Here?"

There were beautiful crystal balls fitted in there like beavers.

"... it wasn't just a crystal ball after all, was it?

"Nyohohohohoho! That's what it is! Anything Red Robe says, it's called" twin beads, "and there's another bead that looks just like this."

"... so?

"Actually, this bead and the other bead somewhere are connected, but the sender and Red Robe said so."

"Send?"

"The other receives.... Don't you see?

Uhit puts his index finger up and says it's like trying it on Larasyk, but Larasyk gets hacked after thinking about it for a while.

"Right! Send... Receive... I see. I mean, this knife took away all the magic in the Aragorn. And the magic I took was sent through this bead of the transmitter to another bead of the receiver...... right?

"Nyohohohoho! That's my sister! You're right!

The blade made of Doft Fill makes it easier to pass through magic. In other words, the knife stabbed in "Aragorn" flows magic through its blade to the bead. And the magic flowed from the bead to the other.

Aragorn, the great tree that dwelled in magic, was depleted by the deprivation of all magic. But if that's all, it's still good. After a while, there would have been magic and a return.

But the twin beads had another effect.

It's about converting vitality itself into magic.

By being stabbed with a knife, Aragorn was deprived of his magic, and on top of that, all his vitality was converted into magic, literally depleting everything.

"Is that what it was... converting life into magic... some magic tools do have such potency... I can't believe it..."

"Maybe, but that's not commercially available. Perhaps it was procured immediately by the previous Demon King."

"I guess. I've never heard or seen a bead like this. And maybe I..."

When Larasyk receives a difficult look,

"Nyohohohohoho! That's Lara. You still noticed. Yes, actually, these beads are already dead."

As Uhit put it, The Twin Pearls were already just beads. Probably can only be used once, and once used, it becomes a normal ornament with no power whatsoever.

"That's why you didn't know anything when you looked into it... if you left anything at all, you'd know something, but if it turned out to be just a bead, you wouldn't know how much you looked into it."

"I figured that out in one shot, so the researcher's face is crushed! Nyohohohoho!"

That's what I'm saying about the color of the sun.

It's good to find out because the sun color has resolved so lightly that the two proud brains of the Beast Man don't know what to think, but they also still have the feeling that they're not convinced.

"... Huh, now this knife is just a knife..."

"No, it's more rare and wrong than it's made in Doft Fill!

"Sort of, but, well, even if it's good to figure it out... it's a later festival after all"

Larasyk with a mixed dark look of regret,

"... it's okay."

"What?"

Uhit is niggardly up the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry about the tree, but we're still alive."

…………

"I will pay you back for taking the Aragorn that was the subject of my research!

Apparently, Uhit has the feeling that Aragorn, who was the subject of Uhit's research, has been killed by Matal Deus, depriving him of his family.

And it has become anger towards them.

"Nahaha, they did something stupid to piss you off too"

"Nyohohohoho! That body of the previous demon king... I want to autopsy you! Nyohohoho!

Then they discussed the future………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

It was a Uhit that even invited me to tea, but no one knew I was shocked when I was sarcastically turned down.

Walking in the castle with a slightly harsh look, heading straight to the destination is [Demon Nation/Heros] 's proud "Immediate Guard of the Demon King (Kruel)," Akwinas, who reigns at the top of it.

Long bright red hair twitches to the left and right, and early footsteps hear regular noises from the floor.

He doesn't even notice that the different maids are dyeing their cheeks when they see their well-groomed faces, and moves on with a flashy attitude.

To the office where a girl named Eveam, the Demon King, he is above all to protect, is working.

Arriving at the desired location, he knocked and opened the door to the other side of the room.

"Well, I look a lot better. Evidence of a good night's sleep since then."

With a smile on his face, Akwinas saw Yveam, who was currently working, and decided so because her skin showed a different appearance than before.

She also leaned down a little shy again,

"So I'm telling you I'm sorry about before! And from then on, I'm going to make sure I get a good night's sleep, like I got caution!

"Um, that's fine"

In contrast to Akwinas, who nodded satisfactorily, Yveam heard the requirements of his visit when he shook his head to pay off the heat on his reddened cheeks.

The other day [Demon Nation] also received reports of [Victorias] 's viciousness.

I didn't think that Avoros was going to take over the human country, but I made no mistake because I also got confirmation from my trusted subordinates.

Akwinas said he came to ask Yveam if any new information had come since then.

"No, I don't have any new information."

"Right..."

"Is it also something that bothers you?............... Are you talking about Lord Judom?

…………

"Sure, I hear that guy was pretty much putting up a king-absent country by himself, but I don't know what happened to him in the" Matal Deus "raid..."

"Oh, it seems so"

"I'm worried about you... even a lot of them are passive..."

Yveam leaks the word worryingly,

"No, I don't think he died only for that man"

"Akwinas......"

"That man's power, I know I've actually fought before. No matter how many people push you, you must have enough strength and wisdom to survive it."

"... well, I guess if you say so"

Yveam grins as if relieved. In fact, she wouldn't know Judom's true strength or anything like that.

We met once when we were young.

But Akwinas is playing a death fight with Judom. The connection that you fought for that life was as if you had built a relationship with each other equal to your comrades.

If that's what Akwinas, who believes in the strength of Judom like that, would have thought Yveam would have believed in his survival again.

So the story came to a paragraph, but Akwinas thought of a certain person.

"With that said, what's happened to Hiiro since then?

"Huh?"

"Huh? It's not. It's a hyiro that forced me to sleep and made me realize that I was using my body too badly."

"Mmmm... is there any thorn in the way you say it?

"Huh, it's my fault"

Actually, Akwinas may be hitting it a little.

I guess I wanted to be a little mean to Yveam, who was jealous of the day color that made me easily revisit her thoughts, which I couldn't help myself, and who honestly listened to the day color again.

"It's been a few days since then, but I haven't heard from you. Uh-oh, don't worry about that stupid hippo!

The tone is changing, but you think you're smiling when you see her honestly speaking stupidity like this, Akwinas says with a smile on her face.

"Well, the lack of news is also evidence of good health. And can you imagine him dying somewhere?

"………………… I can't"

"It's about him. I'm sure it's delicious over there or are you enjoying finding even rare books?

"………………… I'm sure you do"

Yveam makes a squeaky face that you can easily imagine about the sun color and you're probably sure of it.

"Besides, it's more about Hiiro now than about the previous demon king."

"... right"

All of a sudden they both look serious and the air on the field gets heavy.

"Conquer the world... when it comes to believing what he said, does that mean we start with humans...?

"[The Kingdom of the Beast] seems to have been attacked, but it hasn't been dropped. I guess I thought if [Victorias] was expecting confusion now, it would be easy to get it"

"Now he's got the country in his hands. And now he's going to rule the human world in his hands."

Yveam pushing silently in the words of Akwinas. Due to Avoros' character, that would surely be terror domination. That is not strange to kill all those who rebel.

And sooner or later, all humans will be dominated by that fear.

"... where do you think next, Akwinas?

"We're significantly more powerful right now. We're likely to be left behind here."

"... then [Beast Kingdom]?

"Um, maybe there's already some movement over there."

"Wait a minute! There's even a leech over there!

"Yeah, so if you want to do something the other way around, that's pitiful. If I bought Hiiro's wrath, it would definitely crush him."

"... Whatever you want, come home safe, Hiiro"

A lot of thoughts intersect in his chest, but Yveam's top priority in his mind still seems to be the safe return of the sun color.

Besides, Aunous is over there now.

"Oh, you did, if you say so."

Still, there is a strong presence of sunshine in Yveam's chest, but Akwinas also smiles slightly when she realizes what she thinks like that, I think of two friends who would be far away.

(............... if nothing happens, it would be best)
