Kuraki Kyuuden no Shisha no Ou

PROLOGUE: Hunting

There was a lot to think about.

Vampire performance. Why I still can't take it off the bottom. How to avoid the pursuit of the King of Piles and the End Knight. And how to get along with Cenri......

I haven't even decided on a clear destination for the End Baron yet.

But I knew what I needed. We just have to move forward step by step.

Night when the moon doesn't even leave. The alley without even a street light was quiet.

My senses captured human signs there, but every one of them lurks his breath. It's as if making noise is a sin, not wandering around.

I felt countless gazes from nowhere. I feel every move is noticed.

I feel like I'm stepping into a beast's nest. And the perception is probably right. If there's only one thing to add, is that - how tougher a monster I am than a nest dweller?

The end of the alley was a dead end.

Sticky air. If you look behind you, there are a number of shadows on the path I have now taken.

I haven't seen this one, but I'm pretty sure the attention is right for me. If you try to go back, you will stand up. Now it's not just a human being or anything.

When I sighed small, I knocked on the metal door with no philosophy of any kind to the left of the end.

Vampires (vampires) cannot enter the room unless invited by a curse.

However, I have excellent perception of some of the heat that kills my breath indoors.

I feel the smell. Strong warfare, vigilance, quiet excitement, slight fear. A metal peek window on the door opened and two congested eyes confirmed me. I have a low voice.

"............... what can I do for you?

"Talk inside. If you don't open it, you'll be forced to break the door. It's not that much trouble, but I don't want to do too much"

I feel lost across the door in a simple, straightforward language. But when I heard the noise coming off, the door opened immediately.

Until now, it's assumed - it's like a template.

Basically, humans are weak. Especially in terms of physical ability, people are more vulnerable than most demons.

And even more disparities existed among such human beings. Weapon difference.

Basically, spears are stronger than swords, spears are stronger than bows and guns, bows and guns. And they apparently thought of me as a powerful magician (by the way, the strongest of humans is the Knight of the End, but I'll leave that to you because that's a very minor exception. The same goes for the curse)

I smile at the big man dressed in the black suit that showed up.

"Confirm Armed"

They let me through because they know that the must-win means in the game against the Demon Instructor is to pack the distance. If they don't get inside, they'll have to be wary of powerful attack magic flying from invisible distances.

I didn't have anything so I finished my physical exam lightly and they let me through inside. Unlike the rough exterior, the building was clean and tidy.

I can see that carpets and conditioning items laid at my feet are quite luxurious even if I don't have many forensic eyes. Maybe on the same level as a little aristocrat.

The black suit a man wears is not just a cloth either. Made from materials derived from demons, it bounces back arrows and simple magic, even if not as much armor, and boasts defensive abilities that do not seem like ready-made products. The only piece of cloth equipment that boasts endurance beyond that would be a magical object.

If I can get rid of it, I'll sell it for a high price, but unfortunately I can't afford that. Or it stands out for sale and stands out for wearing it.

Waiting in the reception room that was put through was an old man dressed in an international splendid outfit and more than ten black suits.

Earthy skin with sharp beastly eyes. Ancient wounds remain on its face and blood vessels float on its head, which it has put in place all back. It smelled. Smells like a fancy cigar.

Heavy wood table on large black sofa. There is an unknown wine and glass on top of it.

I am brutally forced to sit on a man's face-to-face couch. If I make any unnatural moves, it's going to strike soon. [M]

The great man stared at me for a while, but eventually opened his mouth slowly.

"You're the one who's been crushing the organization around in every town lately?

Frowning. Apparently there was information spread here as well.

The information network was meant to crush it so perfectly that it didn't work, but apparently the Mafia is something else that is reaching out widely in the reigning town.

"Yes, I am."

"Shh... this is ridiculous... what's the purpose?

I'm flabbergasted for a moment, but he asks me with a voice like he pushed me to death. I slowly checked the men surrounding me.

Everyone had already pulled out guns and swords. It's not a very discussing atmosphere, but the brilliance of the blade is not silver that I don't like. Bullets won't be a problem, either. There has never been a pattern in town where the mafia has silver bullets. Apparently, silver bullets are not common.

The man in the corner of the room is like a magician, but not to mention witchcraft.

Purpose, or... There are many things. When I looked back, I told a family executive whose name I didn't even know very well.

"Money."

"... what?

The man's eyes are opened. Sigh small and continue.

"There is money to live. At first, he went around crushing bandits with Negijo outside of town. But a massive bandit is not what it is, and if there was a prisoner, it was very troublesome. I can't abandon you."

The handling of prisoners when they crushed the Reinell army was also very cumbersome. It wasn't possible then, such as taking him home, so Cenri had to tie the line to make sure he was safe for the first time and back in town.

In the end, we don't know what happened to the Lynel army prisoners. It would have helped if the fortress city of Lomburg had sent soldiers soon.

Among those who make battle their livelihood there is a kind.

He who makes the demon crusade a business. Those who take part in the war and get paid. A bounty neck hunter. But none of it was right for us.

We are being chased. [M] Better not be as conspicuous as possible. If you hunt big guys over and over again, it becomes a rumor, and Cenri stands out. Her beauty cannot be deluded as much as wearing dat glasses.

Anyway, I figured out an easier and quicker way to get my money.

"It's quick to crush the mafia, and it's good for people. Unlike bandits, one exists in town, and I store a lot of money. You know why criminals attack people."

"Heh... heh, man"

At the end of the day, these Dark City bosses are generally connected to the country, so it's not easy to get their hands on them unless they're monsters like me.

This is like a pigeon. Mafia crushing goes all the way into gold besides being useful to people, it could be described as a vampire vocation. End knights don't basically fight criminal organizations, but Cenri also allows them to fight if their opponents are mafias.

Crush the mafia, lay down precious metals, and leave town. That's my life these days.

"Phew... when did you leak this information?

With the voice that made the dos work, the man continues.

It hasn't hit me yet because I believe in my superiority, or because I realize who I am by that instinct? I don't think I can help but I don't have to hide it.

"It's a town mafia a year ago. I interrogated him before I crushed him. It's good and bad to have a lot of influence."

"Ah!? You think you can live and go home?

My neighbor's chimp opens his eyes and intimidates me. What a trivial thing to do compared to Reinell's roar.

It may be enough to blackmail the average person, but I've already experienced it many times, so now I even feel pity.

"I don't recommend fighting. What the hell is this? I'm a little off the hook. Besides, if you have what I want, you can miss it."

"What!? What happened to you?"

"Shut up! We're in the middle of talking!

"Huh... ok... boss"

Apparently, this guy was the boss.

I don't even know what type it is, the boss drinks a chimp pointing a gun muzzle at us more than Kainushi used.

Glory is important to the mafia. Despite this, it's purely amazing how much licking rotten negotiation you've been brought to bear.

Humans are still amazing. Even if your body is weak, your guts are top notch. If they had known and prepared me beforehand, I might have lost.

The boss doesn't put it to words, and his gaze prompts me to follow. I lifted the sunglasses I was wearing and said:

"I want a gem called 'Night Crystal'. No matter how small... Apparently, it's pretty rare. I've been around various towns, but few even know they exist. If I had you, I'd leave town with no hands on you."

"Cannibalism" did me some really nasty things. Because of this, the crystal I got from Kainushi burned out, and now I'm in no strange position to be chased from them whenever I want.

Where the hell did Kainushi or Lord get that crystal from......

The boss's eyebrows move tingly. Apparently it's off again this time.

I sighed loudly and got up sick of it.
