Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

145: Marquis Bluenote

Who is the woman who appeared before Judom and the others?

That was when the Judoms were trying to escape from the castle, and Judoms with Farah was worried about how to break the situation surrounded by the deceased without being able to fight satisfactorily, but that was the woman who came to help me then.

It has dark blue hair tied to a ponytail, whose beauty and style are enviable to the women of the world and attractive enough for men to be captivated. And because we have some elegance with us, we have an atmosphere that we can't get close to quickly.

Judom asked me to come about with him because I wanted to thank him for the help, but he disappeared only saying that Farah was going to see him when he woke up.

Say when Farah wakes up, you don't know when that's going to happen, and you don't even know where Judom's going.

But this is how she got here. Plus, it's perfect until when Farah woke up.

"First, I'll say good morning, Princess Farah."

She looked at Farah and lowered her head gently.

"From that attitude, I know this girl is a princess. Mouthful?

"Yeah, I know. I live in [Victorias], too."

"To the country?... I've never seen it."

In fact, it's not strange to be a rumor if you're so beautiful. I live in a country for decades, and I get alarmed that Judom, who is intelligent in information, hasn't seen or heard.

"You don't have to be so vigilant. I helped you... well, it's a whim."

Judom asks her even more questions, saying with a bitter smile.

"I really appreciate you helping us out. But who the hell are you?

"... well, I can give you a name, but wouldn't you be surprised?

Judom said so and nodded lightly, gazing at the old man beside him and Farah.

"... ok"

When the woman flaunts her shoulder, she takes a book out of the bag she was lowering to her waist and hands it to Judom.

"This is... The Adventures of Tinklevikr."

"Oh, I know you, too. When I was a little girl, my mother read it to me when I went to bed."

"I read it once when I was younger too. It's a sad story, but I remember being weird."

"Yes, this is what the writer thought, it was a wonderful book coming through the back of his chest."

"Sure."

Judom and Farah are praising him for letting go,

"No, you get a little itchy back when you're just so complimented."

"... ah? What are you talking about? We're talking about the author who wrote this book, right?

"Yeah, that's why I'm telling you I can light it up. 'Cause it's my work."

......................................................... Huh?

"Ha, ha!? Hey, what did I just say, you!?

Judom asks, opening his mouth gently, but solidifying as if Farah and the old man had seen it in illusion.

But women don't stop smiling.

"That's why I told you. I wrote the book."

"Hey, no, no, no, no, no, how old are you! I read it when I was a teenager! I mean, it was over thirty years ago! And Jiisan said she read it a long time ago, right?

When Judom asks the old man, he nods back small too.

"Well, it wasn't more than fifty years ago that I read it."

"Look at that! Whatever you are, no matter where you look from, you're in your twenties..."

So Judom gets hacked and stares jizzily at the woman as she observes.

"... you're not human, are you?

Farah makes a convincing look at the words. Surely a 'Beast' or 'Demon' with a longer life span than a human can be considered.

"But you look human............... half?

From what she looks like, I don't even see the ears or tails the Beast Man has. It's not like he has pointy ears or horns or wings, like the 'Demon Nation'.

That's why I decided it was the half between humans and other races. Even if it's a "human race" on the outside, if it's drawing the blood of a long-lived species, there's a reason for longevity.

But she shakes her head to the side.

"No, I'm an authentic human race."

"What?"

"It's just..."

"Hmm?"

"I'm just a little bit of a different color person."

The smile she floated was not pleasant, but included lonely and sad thoughts.

"... I don't care about the race. In short, you've lived long enough."

Judom, who felt it was not easy to step in, pursued no further about the race.

"... you're sweet"

You felt Judom's care, and the woman smiles tenderly.

"But it's me. Apparently you're older, but that's what you look like. Give me a break for salutations."

"Ugh, fine. Permission granted."

Laughing happily, she looked like a normal girl everywhere. I don't know what you're carrying on this back, but Judom thought that wasn't something he should hear.

"I'll introduce you again. My name is Marquis. Marquis Blue Note"

"I didn't know you'd see Lord Marquis of Faceless Writers in this place... I won't live long."

The old man is worshipping hand in hand,

"Hey, stop it for a second, right? I'm not a god. And I want you to stop calling me those two names."

"Isn't that a choice? Nobody knows what Markis looks like. I hear books donated to bookstores and libraries are being printed and marketed."

"Well, that's not because I'm writing it for money. I'm glad my book has been read by many..."

"But that's why I only know the name who wrote it. Hence" The Faceless Writer ""

"Ugh..."

You don't like the other two names. Marquis drops his shoulder in a gut.

"Well, by the way, you said then, didn't you?

"... then?

"It was when you helped us."

"... oh"

"I knew it was on a whim that you helped us first. I'm not convinced, but I'll put it away for now. What I'm asking you is that you found out about this place and that you knew Farah would wake up today."

Judom narrows his eyes and asks Marquis, she overflows with crunch and grin.

"Oh, you let me through here?

"That's because he told his men to let you through once you got here."

"I guess. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have come here honestly."

For once, Judom told his men what she looked like and told his men waiting around this cabin to put the woman through the cabin when she arrived.

"So you guys, that's enough, get back to work"

When Judom says so, he hears a panicked reply from across the door where Marquis came in, and he also receives footsteps that make him leave somewhere.

"Damn......"

"Ugh, naturally. They were wary of me and followed me this far."

Judom doesn't say he was prepared to step in at the same time if anything.

"Hey, maybe I just wanted to get close to a beauty like you, huh?

"Oh? That would be an honor. I can't believe you think that's true of your fellow" The Impact King. "

Marquis looks less than full.

"Well, I don't mind about them. than that......"

"How did you figure this place out...... right? Well, I was expecting Princess Farah to wake up... so can you tell me everything?

"... I don't know what that means?

Judom tilts his neck like he said sappy.

"You're right, Judom."

The old man opened his mouth as he stared straight at Markis.

"What do you mean, Jiisan?

"Lord Marquis told you, didn't he? He said he expected it."

"... come on, no way..."

"I don't think so. She can probably predict the future."

Shocking words are spun out and the scene is engulfed in silence.

"............... predicting the future is such an idiot......"

In the meantime, Judom shrugs his shoulders as he exaggerates his hands up. But the old man's face is serious, so I know it's not a joke.

"... hey jiisan, are you serious?

"If you think about it, Tsujitsu will fit. If you do expect it to happen first, it's easy to come here at this hour."

"If you say so, yes, but I can't believe you predicted..."

"Sure, it's amazing, but it's not like there wasn't anyone with that ability long ago."

"Heh, that's good to know, old man."

Judom still turns his face unbelievably toward Marquis. She remains smiling invincibly.

"... Really?

"Well, maybe it's a long way off without hitting it?

"What do you mean?

"I was able to come here because, as I said, I expected it. But it's only the result of fortune, and it's never universal."

"Divination? Are you a fortune teller?

"Oh, I'm in business for once."

"You're not a writer?

"So I told you I'm not trying to make money from a book, right? He's a fortune teller."

"... but I've seen fortune-tellers like you..."

Then a bong of smoke envelops her.

Even Judom stands in front of Farah on guard.

Smoke gradually cleared, and from inside appeared an old woman wrapped in a black robe.

And look at her. Judom nods like he's good at it.

"Oh well... was that you? You used to make fortunes all over the city."

Judom remembers that she was doing fortunes in this figure at the corner of the road.

And when she was again engulfed in smoke, she returned to the figure of the original beautiful woman.

"Duh, which one..."

"I'll tell you what, because younger is more true"

The slightly tighter way of saying it reached Judom's ear, and Judom was forcefully nodded.

"But I see, fortune tells you... you found this place with that fortune teller, and you're telling me the princess took the time to wake up?

"That's right. That would be before breakfast."

Apparently, the woman in front of you is an astrologer of considerable strength. Judom has also met a race of fortune-tellers before, but none of them had quite a high median.

Yet Marquis says it's before breakfast. I was impressed with what I thought was a great divination ability.

"Well, I'm glad you told me, what are you gonna do now?

"I wonder what that means?

"You helped us, which means you know what happened in the country."

…………

"I know who we are, and this is how I come to see you. What's the point?

"Oh, you came because you said you'd explain me when she woke up?

"You don't have to do that, do you? Unless you're an idiot, you don't like things that make contact with us right now."

The previous demon king has tried to kill Judom.

And Farah here is also at risk of being targeted again in the future.

Perhaps knowing it by fortune, she didn't know what it meant to reveal herself.

Marquis was also staring at Judom with his mouth shut for a while because of Judom hitting him again with alarming words.

And Marquis exhales gently, opening those bloody lips.

"... well, I did come to see you just to introduce myself, or to be thanked. I'm here to advise you."

"Advice?

"Yes."

"... what the hell?

Farah and the old man, who were on the spot as well as Judom, drink jizz and watch.

"... give up your country"

"Become!? What a fool! You know who took over the country! You may not believe it, but you're the first demon king!

"Yeah, I know."

"Then leave it like this and you will understand that the people will suffer! We must strike our hands as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the people!

Judom thinks of the people and insists that they cannot be left alone as they are.

Now that Rudolph, my best friend, is not here, Judom has rounded up the country as the king's deputy. That's why you can't let a demon king or something like that make your country your choice, in fancy language.

"I know how you feel. But I advise you to give up your hands because they are the first demon kings."

"You want me to abandon the people?

Anger mixes with his voice and stares at Marquis as intimidating.

"Oh, don't stare so hard, it's painful..."

Seeing Marquis' face distorted, Judom hurries to loosen his expression.

"Shh, sorry, I think I'm getting a little upset."

"Yes, no"

Malkis strokes his chest down in a hoax, too.

"But you can't abandon your country and your people. There's a pile of important things over there."

"............... I can't"

"Knock..."

"Judom, no matter how many SSS Rankers we have here, they're ex-Demon Kings, and their men have no idea what they're capable of?

"I know that... hmm? You just said there were two SSS Rankers, right?

"Yes, I did."

"... you knew?

"Of course."

Farah, who was watching the exchange between the two of them, has become Kyoton because he can't keep up with the content of the story. But the word that bothered me seems to have come up and Farah asks.

"Oh, that Master Judom?

"Hmm? What the fuck, Farah?

"Master Judom is SSS Rank in Adventurer Rank, right?

"Oh, yeah, I did."

"But now, Master Marquis said there were two SSS rankers.... No way..."

Farah slowly turns that gaze toward the old man.

"Oh? Maybe you hadn't introduced me yet?

When Marquis says so, Judom and the old man smile bitterly.

"Master Judom?

"Oh... I don't know, um... even if it looks like this, Jiisan is an SSS ranker."

"............... Yes?

"Well, not really."

Though the old man spoke with the former, admitting it is no longer a mistake.

"Oh, well..."

"I'd like you to meet Farah, Jiisan is the same exadventurer ranked SSS as I am, and now Tendoku, the druggist, is Jiisan."

"Te, Tendok!? Te, speaking of Tendoku, I am talking about Tendoku, the" great pharmacist "who has traveled the world and healed numerous diseases and wounds!

"No - it lights up. But I'm not just a medic anymore."

"Dear Tendoku..."

"Jiisan also taught me how to make soup earlier. And it was Jiisan who gave me three days of medical attention."

"Oh, yeah, I was. I apologize for the inconvenience. And thank you for seeing me for so long."

Farah carefully bows her head and Tendok smiles gently.

"Hi-ha-ha, I don't care, but I don't mind. I've been with a young lady for the last three days and she's worthless and her chest beats faster......... and she almost died."

"So it's okay!?

"Hey Jiisan, Farah's being honest, so you can't be kidding me, can you?

"Are you kidding me!?

Tendoku is grinning without looking bad. I think he made fun of me. Farah pointed her mouth, and Judom laughs joyfully when he sees it.

"Ugh, that sounds fun"

Marquis is smiling feeling the warmth of the three of them.

"Jiisan likes to make fun of people. By the way, Marquis, as I was saying, we can't just take the country back, but I still have company."

"... the kids who were outside?

"Yeah, we can assemble a lot of other guys from all over the place. You still don't think this is enough?

"Yeah, that's not enough."

It's a woman who says something clear. Judom laughs at me unintentionally and reflectively.

"You, have you ever fought Avolos?

"... not directly"

"Yes."

"But you could have fought Akwinas, who used to work for him?

"Heh, with that Akwinus?

"You know what?

"Well, just a little bit. But Akwinas is a decent race among the 'Demons'. I'd say good sense. I fought for it, and you know it best."

"Oh, he doesn't do dirty things. He's the one who fights from the front."

"But Avoros is different."

…………

"I'll do whatever it takes. That's what sets them up more naturally than breathing hostages, traps, etc. Cruel and cunning... you're the worst enemy I've ever dealt with."

Judom felt that Judom seemed likely to have a shallow cause with Avoros again, seeing what Marquis said and the bitter look on his face.

"............... hey Marquis, why don't you fight with us if you want?

"Huh?"

"Of course I'm gonna fight you, but I'm not actually gonna tell you to fist someone. If you have something you want to take back, why don't you stand up to it your way?

"Judom......"

"I don't know what you're carrying, but at least a woman doesn't look so sad."

"... you might regret it, don't you? He said he had a hell of a bomb."

"Come on, don't look at me sweet, okay? You can't carry a woman with a bomb. You're not a man, are you?

"You... Ugh, you're an idiot"

Markis with a refreshing look somewhere. But she shakes her head quietly to the side.

"Thank you Judom. But I still have things to do. Yeah, I can see that in your words now."

"... well"

"... the truth is, I was going to abandon you guys then"

The three of them listen to her in silence.

"... but I couldn't"

Marquis stares at Farah's face. Farah is also tilting her little neck again without knowing why she is staring at her.

"I felt sorry for you because you were a princess"

"Huh?"

Marquis's smile seemed so disappearing and frightening. When she returned her heels intact,

"Hey Judom, let me just give you one last piece of advice"

"... what?

"... if you're going to fight, let someone join you."

"Someone?

"Yeah, more than people... boys, I guess"

"Boy..."

"I'm sure it will help you. If that boy..."

Marquis tries to leave as he opens the door.

"Wait, Marquis! What was the boy's name?

Judom rushed to ask, Marquis mouthed the boy's name with only his face to the side.
