Kuro no Maou
Lesson 160: The Power of Guardianship (3)
If you notice, the sky was stained with sunset vermilion.
There was me looking up like an abalone from a narrow, dark alley with even a sense of oppression.
"What, was..."
It's like waking up from a daydream.
Yeah, I must have really been dreaming earlier.
Sudden screams, brawling with three men, a child named Mia who names God - all of which, although clearly remembered as just happening, do not boil down to reality.
In five minutes, this memory may also fly to the other side of oblivion so that you wake up in the morning and forget what your dreams are about.
"I wonder if I'm tired"
If I really daydreamed, and I was bawling in a place like this, I mean, I'm more heartbroken than I think.
I thought it was unrelated to Neuroses, mental illness, etc., but apparently I was the owner of a delicate mind except.
Oh, my God, I shake off my stupid ideas and start walking for now.
Speaking of which, I have no idea where the hell this place is, or why I was walking around worried about it for no reason, and I have no idea what the original path was.
Maybe that's when my daydreams started.
But thanks to that, the mind is regaining its wonder and calm.
Already sunset means you can break your promise to leave by dinner if you don't get home soon.
You should go through this narrow alley first and out onto the big street.
Even the big city of Sparda, and since it's been here the last few days, there's no land mapping at all, so it's best to go to an easy to understand street that's the starting point for the time being to walk around relying on an address.
Now, the question is how can we get to the big street from here, but there seems to be no other way to do this than to go ahead for now.
Even the dim alley is now dominated by moments and darkness as the sun is falling.
I look both ways at night, and I see an alley with a similar view - no, wait, you say both eyes?
"... visible"
It was so natural and so obvious that I couldn't immediately notice it.
I'm seeing this dark view with both eyes right now.
But that's strange, because my left eye was lost by the attack of the Eighth Apostle Eye.
Still, the left eye works as a definite vision so that it is no different than it was a week ago.
If you ask yourself why, why, there's only one thing that comes to mind.
"Right, it looks like God's miracle here, and I'll cure those eyes"
According to the back of my brain is an unusual act of choosing my own crimson left eye and pushing it into me.
But so, really,
"Your eyes have healed."
There was no doubt, and it was true that the left eye recovered.
So, after all, the sequence of events that just happened is really what happened, and that kid named Mia was a god?
"Are you serious..."
You're right, a rightly truly God-like miracle happened to this body.
But like Paul, whose scales fall from his eyes, his desire to immediately worship Mia as God does not spring up.
No, when I change my mind immediately like that, I feel sick closer to brainwashing than to revamping.
Though not worshipped, Mia nevertheless did show one proof that she was God.
The possibility that maybe the regeneration of the eyeball is also just a magician with enough great power to be able to do it in an instant is still undeniable.
But whatever Mia is, it will be true that she is willing to heal my eyes and give me more power to ‘protect' her.
Then if Mia tells me that she can help me, whether I'm a magician who deceives God, a true God, or a hell of an evil god, then I want to.
"Fine, I don't know if it's a trial, but I'll take it and stand up for you."
I don't know if it's enough for faith, but let's thank Mia wholeheartedly.
Until just now, my feelings were depressing to the bottom, which made me recover, albeit a farce, and showed me the possibility of giving me the power of a name called protection.
However, I don't know what the trials I have to complete in order to be granted protection at any rate, so this doesn't seem like a story I can talk about right now.
If you believe Mia's words, 'my eyes’, which means my left eye will tell you, you won't wait until you have any reaction.
Well, for now, speaking of what you want me to tell you right now, it's more the way home to the inn than the contents of the trial.
"Isn't it so easy for God to help?"
There is no change in the left eye, and at last, we have to clear the way ourselves.
Oh, boy, at least before the sun goes down, I hope we can get out of this ghetto to the big streets.
"Ahhhhh!
Suddenly, I heard a scream ripping through the silk.
"Oh, no, seriously?
Could it be that I'm still being taunted by God's prank?
Exactly the same situation just now, the difference is about the way my mind works.
Now, there's a situation where you can't help but be suspicious.
"You can't pretend you didn't hear anything."
Yes, I broke my meagre mind early, and I knew I was going to do what I wanted.
Even if this scream is a trap, the option of abandoning it to me is unlikely.
If you wish, now is the time to help someone you really don't know!
Further back in the alley, in a place where the stone walls that were still about to collapse were blocked as trails, the exact same situation had unfolded as God's do-it-yourself that I had just seen.
"Wow! Get it out of here! Get it out!
"Hehe, I know Teme has quite a few gold coins."
Three men of any style are hunting down a girl on the wall because they wanted to stop by.
As one possibility, there may be impeccable circumstances between them that outsiders shouldn't talk about, but, well, from that mouthful, there's no other way than extortion.
"Hey, what are you doing there"
I don't even need to see how it goes, so I just show up and speak to the guys.
I'll never forget to glance at the meaning of intimidation, because when I do, no one in my classmate, not even a friend, tries to look me in the eye.
"Oh?"
A threesome of men who turn to me magnificently and at the same time turn a hostile glance at me.
As far as I'm concerned, I felt like a deja vu just now.
This time, however, it would be a genuine blackmail.
The men's threesome has a completely different look than the one I just bugged, not to mention the girl involved in the outfit that is similar but not Mia herself.
"What the fuck, Teme?
I can say it's a deal. A dialogue about who asks what.
In the meantime, it was then that I tried to say that I was a passing adventurer.
"Oh, Teme!?
"Whoa! Fuck you!!
The girl on the wall pushes the men's bodies away and rushes out at once.
With such sudden action and a quick escape leg besides my thoughts, the girl passed beside me and quickly disappeared to the other side of the dark alley.
"Oh, my God, that... you interrupted"
I didn't do anything, but the case has been solved.
The woman of Sparta is a triumph to escape by poking a gap for a moment.
I'm trying to get my heels back with that feeling.
"Hey, wait, brother"
I've been called off.
"Uh, what are you doing, interrupting our important work?"
"Doesn't he need a little apology and compensation?
Apparently, the blackmailers got away with it, and the men were angry.
"Teme, you're a Rank 1 adventurer, you're a pious imitator. For now, if you give me all the money, I'm gonna miss you."
That being said, the skinhead man with the best gatay of the three pulls a long sword (long sword) down from his waist and approaches me.
Maybe the guy is going to be slapping a great killer, but I don't feel any amazing signs, especially when it comes to this, so I guess I found out he's a Rank 1 adventurer right on the guild card that I'm raising from my neck to this end, or something else at all.
"Whoa, what's up, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what if I said something, yeah?
If you notice, the skinhead never laid a sword, and came all the way in front of me in total bars.
"You'd better apologize soon, Aniki is an awesome warrior who also uses enhancements (boosts), how can he be as good as Rank 1?
"Please cut off Soitz's arm with Aniki's special martial arts!
Aniki is standing up about the bald spot.
I see, is he a warrior class that can handle both enhancements (boosts) and martial arts, which is certainly awesome, comparable to Adventurer Rank 3?
"Hey, don't bother each other, will you?
I'm so jealous over there, but I'll try to settle it in a discussion once and for all.
But...
"Teme, you're an idiot"
Apparently, the negotiations are fractured.
Lizard suddenly exclaimed as he slowly waved up his sword with one hand.
"'Arm Strengthen (Vols Boost)!
On the right arm holding the sword, a force tumor rises.
"Out! Aniki's" Forced Arms "!!
And, my cousin in the back, part one, explains it cordially.
But Lizard Aniki can't feel any signs of magic on fortified magic, she hasn't even chanted in the first place, maybe she's just being thoughtful?
"It's the punishment for licking me, I'm ready for one of my arms -" Flash (Slash) "!
And he shouted and at the same time shouted straight down the sword he put up.
"Out! Aniki's Special Martial Arts," Flash (Slash) "Ah!!
He also gives a cordial and polite commentary, which, by the way, is sent to you by his cousin number two.
But I'm sorry to overlap, but I can't feel anything intimidating at all about this slaughter, martial arts specific pressure that's going on with my brain, maybe, just waving down my sword thoughtfully?
"Ha, I lost my fortune."
I thought he was a rank three equivalent, ready to burst the Demon Bullet full, but that didn't have to happen at all.
I grab the right arm of a man swinging down his sword with one left hand and stop the attack.
"Become!?
The bald eye opens in amazement.
There is no cheap fat muscle at this level of sword speed, besides no reinforcement (boost) or martial arts, and there is no way I can stop it with my physical ability.
In the meantime, it's troublesome to keep your sword wielding like this.
"Pile Banker"
To the steel body, black magic becomes a drill and slaps the swirling right fist, destroying it shatteringly.
"Keh, the sword..."
Releasing his left hand, which was grasping his arm, the man stepped back two or three steps, staring at the sword, which had become only a pattern.
"Hino!?
At the same time as leaking a pitiful little scream, one of the brothers and two, who had refrained behind him, begin to wander at a glance, just like the girl earlier.
The aisle was blocked by me, so I twisted up the stone wall, which was a dead end, with a stunning wall climb, and quickly disappeared to the other side of the wall.
Apparently, Sparda people have quick escape legs for women as well as men.
"Oh, hey, you guys..."
The bald Aniki could only escort the two of them away with a childlike look that was detached from their parents.
Although it's just disgusting to see a muscular skinhead look like that.
"Hey."
When I speak up,
"Hey, what, what, what, are you still going to do it! Oh!?"
Though he falls back, he apparently remains as energetic as a void, putting up a fighting pose with both fists.
But I don't have a brother-in-law to go along with it.
"I'm going now, don't go after me, okay?
The girl who was already the victim took off the crisis, not the money she took, not the harm she did to herself.
I don't think I'm going to punish this man personally, I'm a passing adventurer, I won't have the right to do more than help her.
"Ooh..."
The man had a blatantly reassuring look, either losing his powers or getting into the spot.
"If you can, stop doing this now, and earn some money by doing it, even if you're a serious adventurer."
I couldn't help but say so, knowing that I couldn't possibly change my mind with those words.
So I left the place, not doing anything, but feeling satisfied with the fact that one girl was helped.
Well, which way home, the sun's already gone down and it's dark around here...
