Kuro no Maou

Episode 248: Go, Beware Stick, Wake Up, Adventurer

A man with a caution stick named Rudra is like a sick man, but if you look down the stairs like this without flirting, you'll see that he's a healthy man.

The bandits, the halls used by the slave traders, descend without sound down the dim stairs leading to their cellars.

No one would have guessed his proximity until Rudra knocked on the basement door.

Rudra felt clearly through the door, hearing the knocking sound of Concon and hurrying from the room to this side.

"Doctor, what can I do for you?

It was Robert the Lord who led this group on the scene who came out of the door.

If you look at that sweating naked upper body, you don't even have to think about what you've been up to now.

No, even if you don't try to think about it, it would be because of the noise of a disturbed girl and the anger of a man echoing from the back of this room, letting the listener imagine indescribably.

This sweet scent tickles my nose - I use ecstasy with mucus from Mordura, so a normal man would react not only imaginatively but physically as well.

But it doesn't seem to bother Rudra at all, leaving a pale message with a faceless look in her vain eyes.

"There's someone coming this way, you better get ready to run"

In a word, Robert's face has a surprising color, but he asks calmly for jewelry without disturbing it.

"Has Farren or the Knights of Sparda moved?

"No, three reactions, probably an adventurer"

Robert exhales one relief sigh, apparently sensing that the worst was not the worst.

"There's only three opponents. Then don't you have to go out of your way to escape?

"If it's a party of Rank 4 or higher, I'm at my limit."

More importantly, it is fully conceivable that the group of Zacks who sent them out has not yet returned, and possibly been exhausted.

If it is the three-man party that is currently on its way here that has defeated them with a significant number of people, they will have more than lined up strength.

"Just in case."

I immediately sensed what Rudra was trying to say, Robert, that this kind of operation is at the heart of escape legs, and that the guy who can't identify the trigger has disappeared with the dew of a truncated platform a long time ago.

"I understand. Prepare to be sloppy. The teachers..."

"Gardan already jumped out, I'm on my way now too. The enemy seems to be approaching from behind, fight in front of the bridge and you'll have plenty of time to escape."

"Well, then, let's go from the surface to the heh, and thank you again this time, Doctor."

Rudra nodded silently as she flipped up the stairs with a black coat wrapped around her.

Bandits - they call themselves slave traders, but bandits would be fine. The Azito is said to be a museum that stands in the midst of a small high mountain slightly away from the village of Ischia.

After hearing all the information from Zach, we're on our way to Azit.

The answer to why you're doing that is simple, that we're just trying to crusade the rest of the bandits.

By the way, Zach let him go on that spot, he assured me that Lily was okay, so there's no chance he'd come to retaliate.

I sure hope he will live a legitimate adventurer life like this.

"What do you do with Gleedgore?

In the dark night lane, a side-by-side Fiona asks more than a horse.

"I'll go find it when this is over"

From the sightings, it is more likely that he is not already nearby, nor will he be sure to find him where he hastened another day or two, not that much time is wasted.

"Originally, if you couldn't find it, all you had to do was hunt Ischia Hill monsters appropriately to supplement your funds, and you're going to earn more for the bandit crusade"

"Well, the killer's bounty was pretty good, too."

In the meantime, the policy of "Element Master" is not to deny the bandit crusade, never to turn it down with a wacko that I rammed my sense of justice and arbitrarily dictated.

There are several reasons why we decided to crusade the bandits, the fact that we are the only enemies with enough power to control them, the fact that Sparda's theological students are being caught, which, as we have just talked about, is likely to be more gold than hunting monsters for free.

First of all, about the first reason, Zach said, I heard that three people, including myself, were hired as caution sticks, and only one of the rest was a pretty hand-worked swordsman, but the other one seems to be a golem of strength as to whether it's rank 3 or not.

The other bandits are just human beings with the same strength, that is, pure physical ability with no magic or martial arts, as the people who were torn apart by us earlier.

You can destroy the Bandits at your leisure if you only pay attention to the Swordsman of the Caution Bar.

Secondly, this is information you can't miss hearing about the fact that Sparda's theological students are being caught.

The possibility that Charlotte Tristan Sparda, Sparda's third princess, his sister, who apparently headed to Phalen's bandit exorcism, was caught by bandits, which Will was concerned about, should be called lucky or zero.

All of the features of Sparda's female students that Zach asked me about are not familiar and are definitely faceless people to me.

However, it is unlikely that the same theological students will be able to pass through more manly than they found out they were caught.

The third, as I told Fiona, was that it was for monetary purposes and it was unlikely that I would be able to even encount the greedgore I had originally planned, so I just said that it would not be as problematic as having the policy changed.

The danger rank of "Ischia Hills" is three, where it has ravaged monsters like Centaur and Silent Sheep that live there a lot, and the reward for the free crusade is only known.

And I'm not talking about it, but there's a fourth reason.

"What Lily and Fiona tried to do, I'm gonna make you regret it to death"

"It's in your voice, Mr. Chrono."

Yeah, what, well, it means there's that kind of personal grudge.

You're a little embarrassed when you ask yourself.

"Mr. Chrono."

"What?

"You're going to die, or you're going to die."

No, there you go, see, maybe some of you can catch him alive.

"Banditry is mostly a death penalty in every country, so killing them first will save knights time."

I'm a little scared of Fiona, but I'm sure this is common sense in this world.

Even in the Edo era, it looks like he was hit in the neck or something just for stealing a little change, and the weight of the punishment is anything that changes in the country and in the times.

"Well, you can't deal with a bandit if you don't keep them all alive or they'll charge you with murder on the contrary."

"Uh, maybe in the other world where Mr. Chrono was, would you be guilty if you killed a bandit?

There is no one correctly called a bandit... well, if you return a robbery, you may be guilty if your self-defense is not properly substantiated.

"Oh, like that"

"Really... it's a difficult world"

You look terribly surprised, Fiona, you're in some unexpected cultural shock.

There may be various misunderstandings, but the correct perception of Japan should be spoken of within.

"You're almost there, what's the bridge behind you?"

The Advantage of Surprise is on this side, there is no advantage to abandoning it on purpose and riding it grandly from the front.

But since this is also a sudden raid, it is not a wacko that we are ready to deceive our enemies.

"Wake up, Lily, we're going down the horse."

From here on out, it's narrow enough that you can't proceed with a horse, if you step off your feet poorly, you're upside down on a cliff.

Well, it's the back road, so naturally.

"Hmm?

Wake up rocking Lily, who was rowing a cockroach ship in front of me.

It is now midnight time, and for Lily, who has returned to childhood again, it is time for Oyasmi.

But we're going to go into the bandit's gym, and no matter how Lily, we have to wake them up with ghosts in their hearts.

"Look, hold on tight"

"Huh."

Half-eyed and still dreaming of Lily, he goes down the horse.

I'm standing on the ground on both my feet for once, but he's kind of fuzzy and he's wrapping around my feet, and I'm very anxious to watch.

"Shall I even give you a drink in the wake-up potion?

And, you looked like Lily, Fiona does a gossip on her hat and takes out a bottle more than inside.

"You're the one who gave Simon a drink..."

"Yes."

What a witch to make medicine, but why would Fiona feel so anxious to see how confident she is?

"Go ahead, Mr. Lily, this is one shot awake."

"Mm-hmm."

My anxiety, Lily received a suspicious homemade potion from Fiona and drank it with a small mouth.

"Hey, that's not good!"

"Ri, lily!?

Lily, who bursts into tears and ejects potions, apparently my anxiety has been centered.

"Fiona! You're going to kill me!!

"Good morning, Mr. Lily."

I don't feel offended at all about Fiona saying that all the time.

"Do you have anything to say to me?

Lily staring at me as I wipe my mouth, it's so powerful.

"Looks like Mr. Chrono was in trouble, so I was wondering if I should wake him up soon"

What, that's where you're gonna blame me?

"Damn... I can't help it."

Besides, Lily, I'm convinced.

"Ah, my God, well, you look like you're awake, Lily."

Yeah, thanks to you.

I wouldn't say that I didn't have to wake up to adult consciousness at once about anything.

"But is it so unsavory, Sole?

"Stop it, Chrono, and you'll die if you do that"

No, I didn't say I'd drink it yet.

"That's rude, I'm adjusting the ingredients to make sure I don't die properly"

I have to adjust the ingredients. It's a dying substitute. This potion.

The drooling red liquid, as if it had blood intact, cannot be described as a flattering shade.

But I'm very concerned, if you take a bite or so... are you okay?

"Chrono......"

I receive a new awakening potion from Fiona out of interest, but Lily looks at me like a mother dropping off her only son who is conscripted out of the house.

Oh, you're so ready for this. Here... No, don't freak out, a bite should be fine, yeah, stay!

And I put a bottle of potion all at once.
