Kuro no Maou

Episode 247: Bandit Whee Ops!

The moon changed, and on the third day of the month of Platinum, he arrived in the village of Ischia, which serves as a base for the crusade of Gridgore.

"... you're being followed"

That was on the way to the village Adventurer Alliance.

I feel disturbed by the crowd and sometimes disturbed by my gaze.

"Yeah, you're wearing this."

"It feels like mummy."

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be my fault.

"Wow, you're such a bad bunch of galas to see"

As we walked down the main street of the village leading to the Adventurer's Guild, we somehow looked around and confirmed who would follow us.

This Ischia village is a large village there, like the village of Quaal, where you can often see not only the villagers but also the armed adventurers on the streets.

I guess they're going to be confused by that adventurer, well, it just seems so if a tough adult man wears leather armor or or something, but this is also a more impossible story to realize if they send a glance at him openly pointing out the signs.

For now, at this stage, they're just turning their gaze on me, so I'm like, "Hey, I'm looking at you, Cora!" and you can't go and sell fights from here.

I'm sure she has an uncanny idea about the beauty of Lily and Fiona, the beautiful girl.

At all, when I was in the village of Iles, I had nothing to do with that kind of concern, but in the sparda, which is also populated by a large number of humans, there was a clear increase in the number of such gazes gathered against two people who boasted a very attractive appearance from a human man's point of view.

But if you just think about anything, freedom of mind, offense, but nothing else than to keep going through if you don't get your hands on it, that applies to the group that is currently attached in a progressive fashion.

While worrying about the back, gather more detailed information about Gleedgore in the Adventurers Guild as planned.

As a result, the sighting stops one day at the border, to hear the unfortunate news that it has gone completely missing.

Presumably he went deep into a dungeon where only some adventurers would enter, but possibly traveled through the ground to a completely different location.

For once, before I got here, I came to the conclusion that I should go around the rank 3 dungeon 'Ischia Hill', where the last sightings were.

Time to decide on policies for now and when you leave the Adventurer Guild, the sun will soon begin to set.

But we left the village of Ischia ready to camp halfway down the street to slightly increase the likelihood of encounters with Gridgore.

"You're totally followed."

Running on horseback Mary and Marie for a few minutes, I realize that apparently the group that was following us around in the village is chasing us even when we leave the village like this.

"Yeah, you're totally followed."

"Mm-hmm. I feel so fucked up."

After all, it's not my fault.

"Is this what you call a bandit?

"Well, if you're smart enough, you can see the value of our gear at a glance."

With that said, the Obasan clerk at the robe store said that Fiona's Witch Robe had some amazing luxury material in it.

Lily's one-piece dress is also a luxury fabric from Enchantville Road, and my armor, well, is enhanced by blackening, so there's nothing I can't say about magical armor.

"Well, but I thought I was after Lily and Fiona, and if it's so beautiful, there's no way a man would not be after me."

"Is that true?

"What are you gonna do with that?"

"Honto? Lily beautiful?"

Lily sitting in front of me makes her voice play.

"Oh, Lily's beautiful, she's super cute"

"Hmm."

Manipulate the reins with one hand while stroking Lily's head in just the right position.

I think I've gotten better at horseback riding too, because while I let it run, this is how I can afford to have conversations.

Or maybe it's because Mary recognizes me as your husband, and since my date with Fiona, I've shed black magic and enhanced unity every time I ride.

"Um... So, Mr. Chrono, what do you want to do?

"Right, it's troublesome to keep being tracked all the time, and if you're going to get your hands on it, I want you to do it fast. How about I show you a gap and invite you inside tonight?

And this is a tragedy.

"You're wiped out..."

The smell of blood and meat burning on my nose, I can't get used to it, but I don't feel like taking a break in this.

My spirit is still not crazy enough to sleep peacefully in the middle of a massacre scene with scattered limbs and necks, no, is it hard to say normal at a time when I'm used to people dying?

"I'm sorry, it's a wuss, isn't it, Mr. Lily?

"Hey."

A combination of fairies and witches that don't show the color of reflection at all, but, well, I can't complain because I burst the Demon Bullet in full too.

"Besides, there was only one prisoner, so it was good."

"Prisoner, hey..."

With a subtle heart, he shivers his rugged gigantic body and turns his attention to a skinhead man with a pale face.

I'm completely out of my mind, but just in case, I'm tying it up with a shadow tentacle (anchor hand) I created with the "brunette curse" coffin ".

"Your husband - Mmm-hmm!," the alert MAX maid would immediately devour the proud brunette wire and chop up the five bodies if the opponent showed disturbing movements.

But if you look at this, it doesn't look like it will.

No, what bothers me more than that is that I look like this guy.

"Hey, you remember me?

"Ugh... is, hi..."

My respects, I'm pretty freaked out.

That time we met in the alley of Slam Street in Sparta, I was energetic enough to put up a vanity even if I was broken with a sword, well, I guess I can lose my mind about defying you if you kill all your people flashy.

"Too bad, I can't believe you're in charge of one stick of bandits"

Though I should have known that I wasn't supposed to act just like that with the words "be a legitimate adventurer," either.

But it is also my sincere intention to still feel sorry for you.

"Wait, I'm not a bandit, I really went back to being an adventurer after that! You're right, you've become a legitimate adventurer!

"Stop it, I beg for my life, but I don't want to hear it"

I'm not so nice to you that I can honestly believe these words.

But I also don't have a life-threatening hobby like the apostle, I'm going to stick it out to the guild or vigilante in the village of Ischia even tomorrow morning.

Before that, I tried to get as much information as I could on the bandits, but this doesn't seem possible, just let them pass out...

"Wait, Chrono, what this guy's saying is true."

"Lily?"

But unexpectedly, a man gets a help boat in, and Lily, who was a child until just now, cracks between me and the man in a clear tone.

"Hey, fairy! Please, help me! I pray to the fairy god every night since you helped me! I didn't even get my hands on the kid, please, please, help me, help me no!!

"You know him?

Finally, I'm going to visit Lily with a guy on my ass who pleads with sobbing momentum.

"I saved his life on the road when I went on a slime crusade by myself."

"Did you?"

It was another great coincidence, the world is small, and I feel like I'm going to make it these days.

"Hey, you calm down a little, it's okay, I'm not gonna kill you or anything."

"Ugh... Oh, oh, thank you, thank you, fairy..."

The scene of a big man crying and bowing his head to a girl, or crawling in a groundhog, is surreal inside.

"Then answer this question slowly, okay?

"Ugh, ha, yes, no"

I knew adult Lily wouldn't be insulted to be connected to interrogation here.

Lily looks back at this one for a moment, and she just pops a wink at me saying go ahead, Cute as ever, and now I think I can gather information quickly.

"Let's get you named first, and if you're an adventurer, give me your guild card, too"

"Oh, I'm Zach, a shitty adventurer from one country in Sparda, with my guild card around my neck."

There is indeed a chain around the neck, the tip of which is inside the leather armor worn on the torso and invisible.

I play the brunette wire, officially the thin 'Shadow Tentacle (Anchor Hand)', and pull the guild card out of my chest with Zach in restraint.

That's when his face caught on to fear but I don't care, what, you don't like tentacles that much.

"Bronze plates?"

"Hehe, hehe, me. Then this rank is the limit."

If you thought he said you could use enhanced magic and martial arts in a haphazard, I guess it's still true that you haven't mastered either.

If you can't use both, it's tough to get to Rank 3, even worse if you're just a human being.

"I'm organising a party called Chrono, Rank 3 'Element Master', and you knew and targeted us?

"If I'd known you were dealing with him, I'd have stopped him from doing anything."

"What do you mean? No, let's hear it in turn, first of all, who are you people?

They're slave traders.

I know as knowledge that slaves exist as a matter of course in this other world.

But without the kind of upper-class contact that owns the slaves, they never get into the upper compartment where they live in the first place, they never go to the slave market in Sparda, and I don't know exactly what that reality is.

Most importantly, I heard that naked, whipped, forced labor, and such terrible treatment are prohibited by law, so apparently they are not in that tragic situation.

"Even so, as you know, the bandits are after you and your witch's daughter."

Apparently, I was the better hit on the prediction, though, about bad chest shit.

"You mean you bandits who are making a scene with Farren?

"Farren's Bandit? Well, I guess there's such notoriety going on, motherfucker... you're probably right, they've been ‘purchasing merchandise' from nowhere in Farren until now, and I was hired as a caution stick by the guys who call themselves slave traders."

"Careful stick?"

"He's a personal contract quest, I took it because it was an awesome, well-paid quest on an introduction I know, so I was just doing a legitimate job as an adventurer, and I didn't even hit a village and grab my daughter."

When I turn my gaze to Lily, I open my little mouth just saying that I got my will.

"The truth."

"Fairy... there is..."

If Lily's gonna vouch for it, there's no doubt about it, and it won't be the first time this guy is living in some high-ranking magic that deceives telepathy.

If Zach has truly fulfilled his quest for a personal contract as an adventurer and has not dyed his hands in clear criminal activity, he cannot be strongly condemned.

Even so, even if I decide to treat you as a party as‘ adventurer to adventurer 'than you were attacked like this, blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But I'm not a wacko resenting this guy that much, as long as I don't shed any extra blood.

Zach's guild card has accessories mimicking fairy feathers, I'm sure Lily helped me and made me feel like I believed in God.

It may not be a lie that you are praying to the fairy god.

"But if he says they're Phalen's bandits, you're the one who did the baton. I don't know how much that sin is, but if you still want to cooperate with them... you know what I mean?

"Oh, oh, my personal contract quest, I give up on this occasion! I'll spare you the information to crusade the Bandits!

Hearing the words, I untied Zach.

Now Zach is back to being a freelance adventurer who abandoned the quest, not a slave trader's baton.

Against the Adventurer Guild, if you pierce the stance that you have only been deceived and quested, you will not be pursued so harshly for your sins than you have not actually committed a criminal act.

Most importantly, if you show any suspicious movement, you will immediately fire a demon bullet into it.

"Yay, thanks..."

It must have been an unusual state of tension to be freed from the wire wrapped around your body, relieved Zach, and gripped by the biocidal appropriation.

If you're an adventurer, that's about everyday tea meals, and I don't dare sympathize with you.

"Well, let me ask you more about Farren's bandit, the slave trader who originally hired you, where each other's position is clear."
