Kuro no Maou

Episode 50: Media Ruins

I'm currently sitting in the lobby of my guild, glittering with a certain requisition.

Lily seems to really enjoy playing with a fat cat in the corner today, taking me elsewhere to think hmm.

"Sounds like a lot of trouble, Mr. Chrono."

Turn around and Harry, the brain-labourer for Harpy's boy, Ils Blader, stands.

Seeing where I'm not carrying a bow, I guess I'm either just here to see the quest today, or I'm here for dinner.

I guess the other members go to a tool shop and a blacksmith, each preparing for a new job.

"Oh, I was worried about this quest, I was just worried about taking it."

"- Survey of a new section of media monuments, is it?"

Harry sitting face-to-face with me and reading the requisition.

"You heard about the discovery of a new compartment around last month."

Media ruins remain only about the ancient rock walls on the ground, but their true value is the vast underground streets beneath the ground.

Apparently the underground is not made using caves and cavities, but all geo-fronts made by the hands of people.

In this other world, ancient civilizations exist with over-technology that are only eyebrow spitting objects in modern times.

Now there is no Pandora continent, such as the technology to build geo-fronts, but it existed in ancient times.

Incidentally, this ancient civilization is not a developed civilization of science like there are flying cars, it seems to be a magically developed civilization like a different world.

So it is the ruins of an ancient civilization that was advancing in magic technology more than any other modern world that could possibly exist that would allow me to use so much great magic that I could return to the original world.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Chrono was looking for ancient magic (enchants) for metastases and summonses."

"Oh, I thought maybe I could discover what I was looking for."

No facilities have been discovered to transfer or subpoena media sites at this time, but no one knows what is in the new section of the site, and there is no zero chance.

"Then why don't you just take it?

"Well, that's true, but recruiters are strangely caught up in rank one, OK?"

The danger rank for media sites is four, and the dungeons I've been in before are three fine, even if they're high.

Most importantly, me and Lily's Adventurer Rank is 1, but the two of us can also defeat Salamander, so it's not that much of a problem in terms of danger, but...

"Well, that's suspicious indeed"

"Right."

Yes, the rank 4 dungeon, and if it hasn't been explored (the discovery of the new section was last month, so I'm not the first to ask for it), it will be even more dangerous.

If you think normally, even luggage holders should be organized with experience of rank 2 or higher.

Nonetheless, rank one, or anyone, OK, seems somewhat unnatural.

"I'm sorry you got into trouble."

"Haha, Mr. Chrono is surprisingly cautious"

"What's so surprising, that I look like a brain muscle?

I'm still a wizard, shouldn't I be seen in an intelligent image?

"At least you don't feel like a biological magician, because, Mr. Chrono, isn't that pretty big of a deal in humans, after all, there are a lot of swordsmen and warriors with that kind of body?"

If you do a horizontal gaze, you'll see a warrior with a large body, both vertically and horizontally, drinking tea wildly with his fellow adventurers.

"I'm not working out anything special."

I'm more of a magic researcher.

"But it still looks, ah"

"You don't have to mourn so much, see, you can't lick me if I'm strong"

"Hey, I'd rather be skinny too, Harry."

"I'm Harpy, so now I'm in standard shape."

Because flying in the sky is the premise species, Harpy has a lot of skinny body shape.

Compared to humans, it is certainly difficult to develop muscle and fat, the differences in race appear unexpectedly and in such properties.

Then he is good at the magic of wind attributes, Harry's bow allows for power, streak, and simultaneous shooting with the aid of wind magic.

"I'll get back to it, but what does Harry think, this quest"

"Um, I think I'll be fine with Mr. Chrono.

And if you have Lily, you don't have to worry about being fooled. "

The fairy is supposedly never nostalgic for the bad guy, but it's not just a legend, it's equipped with mental sensitivity (telepathy) abilities to read the other person's mind and emotions to some extent, so the fairy can really pick people even when they meet for the first time.

"Well, even if the worst client gets a ton of slack, they'll pay for the guild once it's through."

Even if there's a shitty monster out there, you'll be able to do enough to manage to escape, most of all in the case of a wreck, etc., but I don't do dangerous adventurer operations even if I care that much.

I decided to take a quest to explore media sites with a hint of hope.

"Oh, but Mr. Chrono, it's not just the quest you have to be careful with."

"Hmm?"

"Do you know where there are media ruins?

"Oh, I've never been there before, but I just..."

Indeed, according to the map, the media site was located near the capital, Daedalus.

"It's Daedalus, but he's been restricted lately."

"What do you mean?

"I don't know the details, but they're rubbing with a human army from the Ark continent."

"What, didn't Virginia have a blockade in the city to keep you from coming out?

"It's supposed to be, what's wrong with it"

"No way, things have changed or something?

"That's not true, Daedalus has an elite army in training for the expedition, and if Dragon King is there, it's the same dragon you have to bring to break it. You can't beat it."

"Dragon......"

To the extent that my strength slightly exceeds that of a Rank 4 salamander, the more dragon I can be king, the more strength I will have from there to Rank 5, and even closer to its apex.

I don't know how much that is, but I guess it's strong enough that there's at least a hundred guys with the same power as me who can't help it.

"Probably just a rumor that we're negotiating something."

Negotiation is something that cannot be achieved without reciprocity.

Let Daedalus enter the human race until we negotiate, if the rumors are true, doesn't that mean that humans have comparable power to the Daedalus army?

If you've backshielded your home country's force, or no, that's all you're saying to freak out and negotiate, Keri will have it on six months before you attacked me.

For, six months before and now, I can only assume that the situation in Virginia, or Daedalus, has changed.

There's no way I can tell what that change is like when I come here in the first place and it's shallow.

"Horns on the rabbit, it doesn't seem like a very good atmosphere around Daedalus right now.

I don't know what the hell is going on, but I guess it's better to be careful than Quest. "

"I see, thanks for the advice.

I'll let you know when I know what's going on. "

Having decided to take a quest for a media site survey, I will be ready within that day and leave the village of Iles the next day.

"- Yes, good luck with that, Mr. Chrono."

Officially order a quest at the Alliance counter and receive a deed from Nyaleko.

In this way, a deed is issued for quests to recruit members from remote locations, etc.

I'm new to this Te stuff, I'm going to keep the deed important, but I'm just going to throw it into shadow space anyway, so it doesn't end up treating it the same as any other item.

"But the media ruins are far away - you can't come back to the village for a while"

"Yeah, well, if I suck, maybe I'll go home after the moon changes."

"You can't do that, come back by the summer festival, can you?

"Well, I'd like to join the festival, too."

"That's right! Let's go for the domination of all the menus in the stall together!

"Are you going to hit me?

"You're rude! I'm a splitworthy woman!

But don't forget, when you're here, you can earn favors. "

What do you want me to do to raise Nyereko's fondness, or when I get nostalgic, I start to do your thing?

"If this quest goes well, I'll have a drink or so."

"Mr. Boulder Chrono, I can tell you the story! Promise!

"If it goes well, then..."

"It's okay, Mr. Chrono can afford about an investigation query!

"I hope so.

So, Lily's waiting, and it's time to go. "

"Yes, come on, Chronosa."

I'm leaving the guild today, taking Nyaleko's voice on my back.

When I opened the door, I bowled in with Ils Blader's face about to take the quest.

"Are we going to Quest or Chrono?

"Oh, to the media ruins."

"It's rare to go away this time, is that something?

If you have a delicious quest, let me know, Nino's eyes speak in the dark.

"It's a personal search, and the quest itself is a little suspicious, and I wouldn't have looked at it if it weren't for the circumstances."

"Well, I was careful.

Are you coming home by the festival?

"I'm going to, and I promised Nyareko I'd have to be proud of him at the festival."

"Oh well - wait, Omae, then it's not Cotto that you can be with Nyaleko at the festival!?

"Ah...... sman"

I've noticed since you told me, how about this? It's like I asked Nyarecho out of Nino.

"Stupid Yarrow!"

I grabbed Nino's cat punch with a tearful male cry on my face.

"I'm sorry, about Nyaleko, well, invite yourself to do well"

"It's hard to ask me out if I have an appointment!

"If they say no, I'll work with you that day and make it work."

"... is that true?

"Leave it to me."

We'll shake hands, and I'm still rooting for your love.

"Ha, I feel sorry for you when it comes to Nyaleko as always.

Well, it's better than that. Chrono, we can have something to luxury with. "

"Don't say heckle or anything, Aten"

"Chrono, wish."

"Ignore me!

Athen turning his gaze upwards at me while pushing Nino with his long stick, his eyes are pretty serious.

"... just one drink."

"Yay! ♪ Promise me!

A full smile, but don't be fooled, Athens must be searching the brain for the most expensive liquor brand in this village right now.

Has it gotten sooner...

"Mr. Chrono, you're going on that quest"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

Unlike a hectic leader and a cash red dot, Harry with a serious face for the price.

"Media ruins are not around here, there are high ranking monsters, be careful"

And Cradle, who advises me, is also a serious face.

Harry and Cradle are either good sense or Nino and Athens don't often get serious outside of battle.

Can you say this is balanced... No, let's just say I can.

I'll see you later.

"Whoa, good luck with that."

"Chrono, don't forget your promise!

"Yes, sir."

Without looking back, Hirahira waved, and I walked out toward the village gate where Lily would be waiting.
