Kuro no Maou

Episode 80: Repellent Squad

At a point about two kilometres from the village of Iles, there was an appearance of a scout dispatched by Knolls' main unit.

"What do you say?

"It still doesn't look like there are people in the village"

The scouts once defeat the magic Eagle Eye (Hawkeye), which offers a distant view.

"Well, apparently all the villagers have escaped."

"Do you want to go after him?

"If you saw him escaping in front of you, you should chase him.

But perhaps the villagers are evacuating to a village called Quaal, which is just ahead of us, and we can't go after them in time. "

The soldier tells the commander of the unit what he understands.

They both expected the village of Iles to already be a mussel, so it's not a particularly surprising result.

"Okay, then let's say we search to see if there's anyone left in the village.

It's time for the sun to fall, reconnaissance to Quaal tomorrow and camp tonight in Iles "

My men conveyed their intentions of understanding in a clear tone, like military personnel.

"Looks like he got away in a hurry, you might find about a silver coin if you look, but don't be too enthusiastic about ‘treasure hunting' all night, huh?

"You don't understand that."

Hahaha, and the two of us laugh lightly.

They are the end soldiers of the expedition who are not even guaranteed a thick salary, these ‘bonuses’ are nothing more than what they get locally.

"It's a shame you don't have a woman, even with the money."

"Don't worry, they can build a whorehouse inside, they already use 'locally hired women’ for Daedalus, he's a fast businessman at all."

As for this one, I appreciate the story, but I distorted my lips and grinned.

"But I don't want to deal with the demons."

"I don't mind if it's an elf, at least."

When the troop leader turns around with a fed up face,

"Hey, Tsumiki, no! Tsumiki, where are you!

One girl was busily rushing around while the crew stood, screaming something.

"Oh, better than that stupid adventurer woman."

"What the hell is that woman?

A soldier heard as he turned a frightened gaze.

"You can't complain more than I know or Sylvia Nae allowed you to accompany her."

When selecting the scouts, one adventurer girl quickly joined them, as if at random.

Whatever you think is suspicious, but it is as the dialogue suggests that it cannot be defied more than it is an order.

"In the first place, isn't it strange to hire those ‘guys' on purpose, even though there are enough soldiers?

It is not uncommon to hire adventurers and mercenaries in advance within the Sinclair Republic for an expedition.

But that is only what those who have few gestures of their own to dispatch do.

Cardinal Mercedes, who has dispatched to occupying forces, including Knolls, can prepare enough soldiers without having to bother hiring them from the outside.

Nonetheless, the fact that a mercenary regiment, including a large number of adventurers, was unnaturally employed was enough to make even a soldier at the end like him suspicious.

Unlike the basic equipment of a unified crusader, adventurers and mercenaries, each equipped at will, were very conspicuous, and everyone could see that their very existence was not meant to be hidden apart.

But no one knows why that mercenary regiment was hired.

"I don't know what you're thinking up there, they just haven't told me to treat you special, so it's best to leave it alone"

In fact, the Force Leader felt that the adventurers would not have a secret unit with a special mission.

As far as he can tell, all the adventurers accompanying him look mediocre, especially the girl who's making a scene behind his back with "Tsumiki, Tsumiki" doesn't even seem to reach a certain power as an adventurer.

"Well, I need you to even get in the way of the mission. Whatever."

Pray to God that the girl, who is only your luggage, will not cause any strange noise, and the Force Leader will continue his mission.

The mysterious adventurer girl is marching down the boulevard of the village of Iles alongside the captain of the unit who leads the scouts.

The Crusaders, who somehow know her strength from her previous actions, repute herself as a novice level adventurer in Doji.

She has the lowest class rating among the mercenary regiments accompanying her, but seems to have enough heart for horseback riding on a boulder, and she doesn't look particularly dangerous.

"Tsumiki means Soytsu, young lady."

At the end of his gaze, he shows a small cat with a pitch-black fur, and a silver collar at the neck that is not wild but a keeper cat.

"Yeah, it's cute!

Grab the root of the black cat named "Tsumiki" with some proud smile and point it at the nose tip of the trooper.

Tsumiki rang out to greet Nha when his golden eyes and those of the troop leader met.

"And the name of Atashi is Eye, remember, sir!

"That's a name everywhere."

"Don't say that."

Cute and swollen cheeks to protest, but it was true that the name 'Eye' was very common in the Republic.

"Better than that, don't let that nigger get away next time."

"Ha-ha, he said it's okay!

The squad leader's sigh is scratched off by the girl's laughter.

(Really, I'm just a kid. This guy is)

Turn your frightened eyes towards the girl.

Twin tails with long blonde hair bracketed from left to right would disqualify as a hairstyle to be done by a practically-oriented adventurer, although they fit well into the adorable face of blue crisps and large eyes.

If you're a magician, long hair is still allowed for reasons such as magic residing, but no matter what she looks like, archer.

The main weapon is an old wooden long bow (long bow) that can withstand minimal use.

Only gloves and boots on the chest of the leather are likely to be called protective equipment, and the upper body seems to be a thin shirt and, for some reason, a mini skirt.

Only the shiny silver bracelet worn on his right hand seemed to be worth some, but only better than the others, and it was seen at a glance that its dull light was below as the quality of silver accessories with exorcising effects.

Rather than the earliest adventurer, the town daughter there tried to disguise herself as an adventurer, which makes me tighter.

Without Eye's slender, small but tight body, I never really saw an adventurous element.

(What the hell did they think up there to get them on an expedition like this?)

Tsumiki snorts as if to make some fool of a contemplating troop leader.

"I don't know why you're a cat, but the hunter's ottomo with the bow is a dog."

"Uh, but cats are cuter, huh?

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.

As he says, it is the dogs that man can help us in hunting, or in battle.

It's only a negative because it's useless to bring in cats or something that don't listen to the owner, rather, they're going to be on their own along the way.

"If it's a battle, take good care of it."

"Leave it to me, Osama!

"I'm not old enough to be Osama."

Moment after moment, the troop leader's head suddenly bounced.

"Yes?"

As Eye rounded his eyes, he saw the squad leader rolling off the back of his horse as he ejected blood from his forehead.

"It's an enemy attack! Watch out, they're ambushing us!!

A soldier who was walking behind an eye raises his voice.

At the same time, the demons with their weapons appeared continuously from the shadows of their families and came into an avalanche on the main street.

Submen, beasts, or humans in light armor are slashed by soldiers who shake their blades up in familiar motions.

It was immediately understood that the enemy was demonic, but also skilled adventurers, no matter who told them.

"Wow! Lots of stuff coming!?

The panicked eye accidentally pulls the reins, and the horse falls to a rampant clap.

"Ugh! Ouch! I hit him in the head!"

In front of Eye, who whispers his head in tears, a bloody battle had already begun.

"Damn, there's a lot of them, don't get split up, densely -"

Eye watched as the soldier's head, next to the troop leader, played and flew once again.

"Ahhh - this is so bad, just run away with your ass, okay Tsumiki?

Tsumiki, come on! Put the Lord down and run first!!

Eye began to chase the black cat as he slid through the soldiers in battle, screaming ~.
