Kuro no Maou

Kotsungkotsung

Footsteps echo from afar.

There comes a little white shadow with red shining eyes...

"... whoa!?

Yabe, have you lost your mind for a moment now!?

Get up quickly and look around.

I don't feel any sign of anyone.

What this ear hears is not the footsteps played by the white girl, but the sound of a river running right next to her.

"Duh, what happened..."

I jumped straight into the well at the bottom of the spiral staircase.

From the bottom of the well, I heard the sound of water flowing, so I thought there was a water vein flowing underground, and I thought it was going somewhere outside.

And the prospect is a brilliant success, and this is how I stand on the ground.

However, that groundwater might have followed me to the bottom of the deep ground that traps me, and it would actually be dark if I jumped in, and the water was so cold, I almost frustrated by fear and anxiety as I was being flushed.

Luckily, the water veins seemed to have continued from there out into the dark basement (or cave) into the sun, and they seemed to have passed out a little when they managed to get up to the riverbank.

"Oh, outside"

If you look up to heaven, you will see the sun that shines directly above you, and the river that I have flowed beside you, and the trees will flourish around you, and beyond it you will see the mountains that will stand.

I'm in the green of perfect nature.

"Yay, I'm finally free -"

Gasari, and a nearby bush made a noise.

In an instant my heart beats, and unpleasant sweat erupts from all over my body.

What floats in the back of his brain is the faceless white Saliel face.

……

What appeared was an animal very similar to a deer.

Did you come to the river for a drink of water, if you look closely, there seems to be a few in the back as well.

By the way, I purposefully say ‘very similar to a deer' because I have the certainty that it is not a deer.

Its deer modoki is green on top of three splendid horns growing. The deer that gave birth to such fantastic horns are not in my world.

No, if you evolve in this world, you might even have a deer like that, because what the hell? It's a magical world with fire-breathing dragons. This is it.

Will Darwin's theory of evolution prevail in this world in the first place?

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Although I am somewhat tired, the wounds I received from Sariel are healing and I have no problems acting.

Now I would appreciate a sturdy body if I did this modification.

But there are more than monsters, not me, not my hands, not my feet, with such a body.

Maybe there's such a lot of crap in this world, because it's dangerous to overconfidence your powers.

If that thing comes to my search for a bunch of escaped, it's completely over.

I don't know where it's safe and how far to go, but I should go even far from that facility.

"Go."

I decided to take this river downstream for now.

The fear that Sariel might still be chasing me makes my feet go as far as my strength goes.

I kept walking through the mountains and woods for three days and three nights without sleeping.

The only time I stop is when I drink toilet and river water.

I thought it might break my stomach, but the river was so beautiful that the bottom seemed clear, and more importantly, the natural fresh stream was too delicious for me, who had only ever spoken shitty unsavory gero soup.

In the end, I didn't break my stomach, but the harm was that I drank too much and my stomach tapped.

And the monster, like a dog or a wolf you occasionally encounter, chased back with a shotgun and rifle, and didn't go deep.

And on the evening of the fourth day, finally,

"... it's a light"

Forward, I saw the lights because I thought people lived there.

Looking at that light, he runs straight with joy and courage.

but along the way I thought.

"Wait, there might be some loose ends with that mask."

Or researchers can't deny the possibility that there is the worst Sariel himself.

All I know about this world is that there are monsters and magic.

Without knowing the common sense of the public, this worn-out piercing outfit is definitely suspicious.

Being suspicious means being conspicuous, that's all I want to avoid as a fugitive.

And even worse, it's possible that I'm wanted.

I don't know what position my presence as an experimental subject is in both masks, but if it was a large-scale project to name a country or something like that, they would search me extensively.

I mean, it's dangerous to inadvertently come into contact with people in this world.

When I came to that point, the city was approaching the present, but while I was patient with my love, I decided to dive into the city, lurking my breath.

This is a seawinding harbour town surrounded by gray stone walls.

I looked around carefully to find out not to be found by soldiers watching people entering and leaving the city standing at the gate.

And it also turns out that apparently the civilization of this world is medieval level.

If it's just the stone walls, it may just be left as a cultural asset, but the stone walls here are in active use.

I can't find any other modern objects I know, such as asphalt unpaved roads, soldiers in armor with spears, bonfires and lamps at night lights, etc.

From the time I was in that experimental facility, I saw monsters armed with swords and bows, not guns, and I thought it seemed unlikely in modern times, but if I looked at the city in general (supposedly) this way, I would be reminded that I had the right expectations then.

"That's really a different world, this place..."

I'm going to be mildly desperate, but I'm not free enough right now to worry about my heart with great anxiety.

Let's find a way back to the original world before we get further away and settle down.

Return your thoughts to the city in front of you again.

It may be convenient for me that this is Port Town.

It is much faster and farther to go by sea by boat than by land.

At least, ships would be the longest and fastest way to travel in this world where no planes are expected.

I'd rather not have a warp or teleport magic device.

A boat is a fascinating thing for me to do only for the purpose of wanting to get far from here.

I want to take a boat as far away as I can, even if it's not.

Of course, I'm not going to meet people, and I'm not even willing to go aboard by regular means.

In short, it's a smuggling.

All right, we've got a plan. Let's go to the city.

Make sure you don't have people's eyes around you, and I'll put my hands on the stone wall.

There are no more irregularities in the vertically and precisely assembled stone walls than applying hands and feet.

So it's time for some dependable black magic here.

At the tip of your hands and feet, sharply materialize the black magic.

If you work hard, even dragon scales can reproduce the hardness they penetrate. It is also possible to create a blade that can be saggily cut into stone walls.

That's how I challenge my first wall climb.

The sharp nails integrated with the fingertips feel enough to pierce the cutter onto the cardboard to devour into the stone wall.

By stabbing your fingers directly at the vertical wall, you're going to create a place to put your hands on.

The same procedure applies to the toe of the foot, piercing it against the wall and securely securing it.

Wall height is about five meters or a wall climb without a lifeline, but my body would be fine with falling from the heavens, it's soft dirt ground down there.

And I gradually grabbed the wall climbing instructions, and I climbed the wall smoothly.

"Oh, you're like a ninja now, aren't you?

And now that I feel like a ninja blending into the darkness of the night, I can climb the wall in no time.

When Jen royally stood on the wall, he felt like someone was going to see him on the boulder, so he crawled over and looked inside the city.

"Oh, I expected that, but that's great..."

There, European-style townships were reproduced, which I had only seen in movies and cartoons.

With my vision, my eyes are working at night, so I can clearly see what's going on in the city in this dark night.

White painted private houses line up, the biggest streets of the city are cobblestones, and you can see nightclubs with lights on.

I'm sure there will be a loaded carriage going around at noon.

And a church is built in the centre with the city's tallest spire.

From there, further down the boulevard, you'll reach the port where many ships dock.

Only at night on boulders, only the boulevards where people can see a lot, residential areas and the like are quiet with the lights out.

"To the harbor, you might want to go along the wall."

With an approximate panoramic view of the city in mind and deciding on a huge messy route from here to the harbor, I jumped off the stone wall.

If it's about the height of the spiral staircase leading up to the well, it sucks, but (sighting) it's not a problem for about five meters.

Sound a dodgy dull sound and land on the dirt, leaving the spot immediately.

He ran through dark residential alleys with the utmost caution.
