Kujonin

I was taken to an old tenement room. Even though it was midnight, only the room was lit by magic stone lights.

When I opened the sliding door, a woman of unknown age was doing something like an internal job.

"Oei, have you been up to this time?"

"Oh? Are you a baron with a beard? Are there any companions?

The woman, called Oei, did not stand up and looked at her with her and continued working in front of her. He seems to be carving something with a chisel under the light of a dim magic stone lamp. The Dark Spirit was called the Beard Baron.

"Is it a print?"

"Oh, woodcut. Do you know your companion?"

"No, I haven't seen it so much. Wouldn't it hurt my eyes in such a dim light? Would you like to replace the magic stone of the magic stone lamp with a new one?"

"No, that's fine, because I want to see it in the morning."

He seems to be particular about light.

She is not a beautiful woman, but her concentration is terrible and there is an atmosphere that she cannot approach.

"Oei's drawings are beyond skill."

The dark spirit said to boast.

"A so-called genius?"

When I said that, Oei heard a tongue. Was it a taboo?

"Oey's father is a genius. Only Oey has inherited that blood. He doesn't seem to like it."

"I'm just taking over the work my father couldn't do. That's surprisingly many."

Oei laughed.

"Is it in a good mood? Oei"

"Because the baron will bring you a color man. It's likely that a fire will come out of my face. Rarely, there is no old man in this rowhouse."

He seems to be talking about me. Are there only women living in row houses?

"Is it better to hug you?"

Let's say a light bite.

"Stop it! The walls are thin. Everyone is listening."

"At this midnight?"

"It's a dream, and the dream of the night is true. This tenement is the home of the evening girls who are still in their dreams. If the scent of a young man smells, he'll come to sniff at home."

It is said that women who have some kind of dreams live without going to their brides.

"Well, you seem to be disturbed. Can I come again?"

"When you come, please let me know by letter. I'm waiting with makeup."

He seems to like it a lot. When he left the door, he was called again "You!"

"I didn't hear my name."

"Oh, Naoki. Naoki Komuro. I'm the president of the cleaning and extermination company Komuro Company. Please call me when cleaning."

"Hey, you did an unusual job. I understand. I will remember it."

"Oei, I'll come again for a woodcut tomorrow afternoon.

The spirit of darkness said, "Hey," Oei replied, sticking out his chin. Is the spirit of darkness a patron of Oei?

"A good craftsman?"

As he walked the night road, he told the dark spirits. The magic stone light does not turn on and proceeds under the moonlight while checking with the detection skill.

"Oh, I'm going to be the next dark hero."

"Are you an artist at a row house?

The current dark hero is a princess. I think there is a great gap in status.

"If you hear your plan, exterminator, you'll want to change that too. In the next era, I'd like to make a hero who has the power to rely on that kind of skill rather than strength."

"I see. The dark spirit thinks my plan will be fulfilled, right?"

"I think, because I don't mean to look at human power."

You're pretty trusted.

"I see. I want to see Oei's work?"

"I'm decorating where I'm going. I don't want to show it to people."

She seems to be heading for a hideout for the dark spirits.

"What is a baron with a beard?"

"It's hard to get lost in human society. It's a fuss if found by a monk. If you're a noble, you don't have to worry about turning it around. It's called "The Beard Baron."

I suppose that a person with a certain status will have more freedom.

"What is your bride?"

"No such person. Don't be with the Spirit of Light."

"Oh, yes. Did Johann like the spirit of light?"

I remembered the face of a handsome demon scholar.

"Did you meet?"

"Yes, I'm still locked up in the Arctic continent dungeon. The light brave was withdrawn, but I took me outside."

"A spirit without specifications. Really."

The dark spirit was stunned.

The shadow of the house was visible on the hill.

"I've arrived here."

"Huh? Here?"

The road continues to the top of the hill, but the dark spirit points at the cliff in front of you. Unintentionally, I turned on the magic stone light and checked that a large rock was under the cliff. Looking at the detection skill, there is a cave when you move the rock.

"Isn't this a house on a hill?"

"That's a decoration for human life. Can you help move it?"

The dark spirit told me I lifted a rock and went into a cave.

"It's been a long time since I'm in the shadows, so I've been moving rocks for a long time."

The walls of the cave are burning with torches. It is dim because the light source is small.

"Is this not going to be carbon monoxide poisoning?"

"There's no problem because there's a gap. Look at Oei's work."

As we progressed to the back, a picture framed on the wall was displayed.

In the square at night, guests are mingling with sake lit by lanterns. It's like a dark spirit with me. Although it is a dark color on the whole, it brings vitality and fun.

"Isn't Oei a genius after all?"

"I don't quite recognize myself. I hate the word talent. Do you look back?"

The dark spirits seem to like art, with stone statues and wooden structures everywhere. It seems that there are things that imitate the gods besides the dark spirits. Of course it is different from the gods I always see.

"Look at it."

A spirit of darkness raised magic stone lamps with magic. On the brown wall were several bills of white people. Beyond that, there is an ancient figure hunting the Oxroad.

"this is!?"

"The bill was drawn more than 10,000 years ago, and the mural of this hunt was drawn 20,000 years ago. It's a proof that people have lived here."

"Are you living with a spirit now?"

"Yes. Ten thousand years ago, there was no A in the form of an Apenir. This land, which was a territory of the country of Chronostitanes, was built only after equatorial walls. Only a thousand years, but human lives are shorter and too dazzling. Spirits can't be more beautiful. "

"It's just art"

"I don't know, but I'm overwhelmed by its beauty and want to stare at it. This is inevitable given the life of the creator, but it doesn't come out unless the coincidences of human connections and fate overlap. Exterminator, this is my way of fighting the gods. ''

God worships something we don't understand. It is evil god to reject. The dark spirit stared at what was overwhelmed by the unknown and named it "art".

I was not the only one trying to fight the gods.

"So I'll cooperate with you. Exterminator"

"That helps a lot"

The dark spirits have joined.

"Can I ask only one?"

"What is it?"

"Is the reason really for the request? Is there any other reason?"

The dark spirit has followed my pain.

"I'm a little away from my bride. I have to find it."

"I see.

"I don't know. I have been reincarnated."

"Well, so it's inevitable that we made this plan.

"Yes, the more the number, the more likely it is to happen."

"It's an interesting guy. It's a mistake for the gods to select people."

The dark spirit laughed, saying so.

"On the western plains is the guild leader of the adventurer guild named Chino. Please call out if you like."

On the way home, I told the dark spirits.

"I understand. I will contact you."

"Thank you for opening the country."

"I know."

With the endorsement of the dark spirit, Apenir will sooner or later open up.

As the sun rose from the sea, I returned to the barracks.

"Where were you going?"

At the barracks gate, Clift was standing with his arms folded. I'm probably angry to escape from me.

"I just greeted the dark spirits."

"Is it a church?"

"No, I was taken to my house. I saw the art drawn before Apenir was made."

"Is it before Apenir?"

Clift gradually forgot that he was angry and started listening to me.

"It was a beautiful mural. Oh, and the next dark hero seems to be decided."

"Eh ?! I haven't even decided on an exam schedule yet.

"Originally, the hero chooses the spirit. Why don't you let him like it?"

"Did you really meet? To the dark spirit?"

"I told you. Aisles are coming back today. Are you ready to return to the Southern Hemisphere?"

"Please wait. It takes a few days to reach the castle where the palace is. Even though it is fast, it will take some time to come back."

"Did you forget? We can fly and move."

"So, is Princess coming back here?"

Really. Princess Reklia was a hostage to open the country. However, the spirits of darkness are already open. The fact that Luke is collecting nobles means that Baron with Beard is also called. The aristocracy is going to be anything.

Princess Reklia himself talks to the palace. Moreover, the dark hero changes.

"No, the opening of the country is already the default route of Apenir. To be honest, your princess has no value as a hostage. If possible, I would like him to exchange hostages with agronomists. Is it okay? "

"No, that's ..."

Clift's face is obviously impatient. You're just trying to get angry at me, but you're confused that the situation in this country has changed.

"Once I came back, I immediately started selecting agronomists and returned to the Southern Hemisphere. I was prepared to keep the soldiers abreast. I slept a bit before. It's bad "

I passed by Clift to the barracks.

In the barracks, soldiers who went to the Southern Hemisphere were waiting for me.

"Where did the president go? I was worried that I had disappeared from the room."

"I'm sorry to worry. I was drinking with a little dark spirit."

"Drink with dark spirits !?"

"Oh, at a stall in the square."

The soldiers were laughing when I said, "Such an idiot."

"Where is the captain? Did you get angry?"

"Clift is on the table. He explained before he got angry. Oh, I think my vice president will come back in the afternoon, so be prepared to go to the Southern Hemisphere again. I think you know what you need. ''

"Huh? Are you going back so fast?"

"We don't listen"

The soldiers are puzzled.

"Maybe you'll be on a different mission. Ask Mr. Clift."

I left it and went to the prepared room.

"It's time to tell our employees about the plan."
