Kuro no Maou
Episode 553: Gunslinger.
"Look, look, I got a medal, too. Haha, it was rank one."
Shy, but a little happy, Simon showed me the Sparda Army Medal of Merit, shining in chillari and gold.
"Of course, if Simon hadn't revived Taurus, the Great Wall would have been breached."
The Galahad War, its last battle, the Crusaders' Third Attack, is a literal total force battle for both sides. The furious attack of putting in all the Taurus could not be prevented by the Spartan army.
Sure, at that time, I was protecting the big hole in the wall, but it should have been a retreating cramped situation with a big crack on the other side and the Crusaders finally breaking into the walls. Taurus also still had about four planes left, the biggest pinch, unstoppable to stop the enemy invasion.
That's when Simon succeeded in restarting Taurus, who had fallen in front of the Wall during the first attack with Gardan, kicking off four of his enemies and creating a stream of counterattacks all at once.
Besides that, he also contributed to the destruction of the Seventh Apostle Saliel, so it would be stranger not to be evaluated by this.
The Spartan Military Medal of Merit is a medal sent to those who have done remarkable work in the war. Simon, who was awarded this, could be named one of the heroes of the Spartan army, both in fame.
"If you won the medal, you would have admitted your sister to the boulder."
"Uh, yeah, that's, well..."
Simon to be ashamed of for some reason, but he seems happy, so he must have made a happy settlement. I went in for a moment to ask because I was curious, and Simon told me why.
That was the first time after the medal ceremony, when he returned to Baldier's home for a long time. In addition to Sparda's victory, the work of his eldest daughter, General Emelia, and, above all, Simon's great work, which was unexpected, was said to have been celebrated with great vigour in the clan outing.
My sister came when I finally entered the bedroom, tired out of nervousness and confusion over joy. Honestly, I hope you get home soon because I'm tired, or something, but I can't let it get in the way, so she sat straight in bed and started talking a little bit.
"- I'm sorry, Simon. Until now, I've just denied what you did, and I haven't tried to understand it."
"What, so suddenly..."
Given my sister's attitude so far, that's an unbelievable word.
"I was the fool. I'm trapped in martial arts, magic, succeeding flesh, just the 'power' of the moment, and I assume it's right, and I just push it against you. But you won that medal in this battle on your own, as an alchemist. If you see so many results, you have to admit it. I was wrong. I'm so sorry, I apologize from the bottom of my heart for being only a disturber, not a good sister"
What an unsolicited statement. It's a good place to apologize after doing a great job of getting a medal like this - yes, Simon said with a bitter laugh that he would have thought he would have been before.
"Yeah, fine. Sister Leah just admitted it, 'cause for me, I'm more than happy to get a medal."
My sister changed a little, she said, when she returned from the ancient castle of Ischia. By pinching me on the boulder, you worried me as a family... At that time, I only thought to that extent, but now I know that since then, you have been trying to acknowledge my power a little bit, my power as an alchemist.
At least, Simon thought so, and that's why I could honestly rejoice in my sister's words.
"Thank you, Simon. From now on, I'll try to be a really good sister."
"That's okay, because Sister Leah is, and always was, a strong and cool longing knight. That's all I..."
"Simon......"
And you two slept in the same bed as it was.
"What, did you sleep? Sister brother!?
"Hey, hey, don't get me wrong! He just said we slept together!
Well, was Simon's chastity safe? Good for you.
"No, but even Simon is seventeen. So I slept with your sister..."
My memory of sleeping in a futon with my sister ends around the junior year of elementary school. If you tell me to sleep with you at my current age, I'm too shy to do it.
"Ah, already! Don't tell me about this! Never tell Will or anything, don't you!
Okay, okay, and when you turn your face bright red and deal with Simon in tears, you're gonna have to reply that way. I'm sure there was a lot of drunkenness and momentum on the spot.
Then for a while, Simon finally calmed me down after being forced to promise a strict off-the-mouth ban. Take a cup of coffee with both hands and drink with the zuzuzu. How dare you be black until Simon. Could my taste be too childish?
I still can't believe Sariel's here.
"That's, well, I think sometimes,"
Already, Simon has witnessed a slightly different, if not different, reunion with the maid Saliel, who has carried the coffee. And I'm revealing all the circumstances to Simon.
I had anxiety, but it's still because I'm a boyfriend, or, just like Will, I got sympathetic, kind words of comfort for me. Pity, but honestly, I was happy. After all, Simon is my best friend.
"Should I apologize for sniping?
"There's no need for that. We fought each other as hard as we could."
That's what I think, and Sariel wouldn't care. I might be interested. He gave the invincible Seventh Apostle a blow to his death, because he is Teng himself.
"If it was, why don't you aim for the gap I'm working with Saliel and try sniping again? It could be a good practice."
"Ha, I'm not kidding. Now I'm dying."
"You'll be fine, if Mr. Sophie protects you again"
"Uh, I mean... Actually, Mr. Sophie, you're not here anymore"
"What's up, finally a fight goodbye!?
"That guy... he was our board president, wasn't he?"
"What, you found out who you are"
"Hey, I knew you, brother!?
"No, because Lily tells you not to..."
Lily was immediately explaining to me that Sophia Sirius Percifal, who is also the head of the Percifal family of the four Sparda aristocrats as chairman of the board of the Royal Sparda Seminary, is Sophie, the sister of the mysterious dark elf combining with Simon. Anything, she seems to care about Simon and wants you to cooperate.
As for me, it wasn't a complicated thought in my chest for some reason, but I decided not to let anyone else's love path get in the way and followed Lily's words. In fact, Mr. Sophie, Toto Sophia board chairman is a superb beauty, he has an excellent style, and he has the ability to be a rank 5 adventurer on top of good family style, which is the ultimate excellent property. Strongly put, age may be the neck, but from elf species with longer life expectancies, it would be like a 10-year or 20-year-old difference and other errors.
Besides, the Sofia board president helped Simon more than once in the Galahad war, and he is admittedly doing what he deserves as a companion.
"But isn't it a little terrible that you broke up because you found out you were the president of the board?
"No, I'm not the only one who found out who I am, I'm the school teacher and the Percifals. So, if you can't forgive me for throwing out the role of president and lord of the board and getting interested in every adventurer, our militant teachers and the Knights of Percifal would have caught Mr. Sophie in the roundup."
That was already, he said, an outbreak of the Sixth Galahad War or so fierce a feud. The anger flied, the attack magic broke in, and the fierce fight lasted three days and three nights, apparently.
"Looks like he's back at the board chairman's job now because of the boulders."
"That guy's in trouble too..."
I can't be very sympathetic though. Because I threw out my job and my responsibilities with 100% personal affection alone: love. Something like that bump was too big.
"But is Simon a solo now, then?
"Yeah, actually, I formed a party, didn't I? His name is Gunslinger."
Simon has been recognized for his work enough to be awarded a medal in this war. Naturally, the bounty for it also amounted to a considerable amount. To the extent that I can still afford to pay back all the tuition and living expenses I've borrowed from you, it's a lot of money.
There's already a patron named me, but it's still huge that I've got a huge asset that I'm free to use. Simon said he had finally decided to move in earnest on the mass production of guns, which he had been forced to send ahead due to financial problems.
"With Ozzie's introduction, I just asked the Moldred Weapons Chamber to follow the crossing and rent some of the factories in the suburbs. I'm not going to sell it yet, but it feels like a utility test for the mass-produced rifles, machine guns, and everything else I've done here at my own party."
I see, 'Gunslinger' because it's a premise party to make guns the main equipment?
He said he was a little late to lead the party and receive information that I had returned because the experiment was traveling through dungeons everywhere. So it was a reunion that was nearly a month late, but here I feel the difference between modern Japan and different world civilizations. I was wondering if someone could invent a phone or something. I mean, I was wondering if you could make Simon.
"What's wrong with the members? You hired him appropriately?
"In the meantime, I'm having Gardan hang out with me."
I'm surprised you're getting along with that short-tempered golem. But we're in the middle of a big rampage in Taurus together.
"And there's an Ozi named Zach, and you really know your brother?
That's the name I heard somewhere. Um, who was it...
"Maybe a tough skinhead big man? Not equipped with an axe or something?
"Yes, yes! That's him! Wow, I really knew him."
No, I mean, I know that guy, or something... a subtle line, but is it still easy to decide that I know him?
"Why is he in the membership?
"It's time for the Second Attack of the Galahad War, you see, when I fought people who use such amazing connections as Rinfeld"
"Oh, I remember you so well."
It was a pretty remarkable pinch then, but the situation reversed once and for all thanks to Simon and Sophie showing up from Taurus with a sneak peek in the earthen pit.
"Speaking of which, you helped Zach at the hole in the wall back then."
"Yeah, after that, me and Mr. Sophie were going back up to the Great Wall, where we were stopping our enemies. So, I used Thunderbird to lend you a prototype machine gun because there was an adventurer just next door who lost his weapon."
"Was that Zach?"
"Yeah, he liked something, and he said, sure, let me use this again. He came all the way out here to see me."
Well, if he wants to use a gun, he won't have a reason to say no.
"But is Soytz okay?
In many ways. Originally a chimpy guy who cuts at his girl opponent in Slam Street. Next up is the bandit's baton. But at the end of the day, I want to think I'm somewhat revamped because I tried to do my Spartans duty by participating in the Galahad war. Lily would be fine, too, he said something like that.
But when I think it's the same party as Simon, I'm also anxious about the boulders.
"Something seems to have made Gardan look familiar, and we're getting along. And then there's the other member, a healer and cat beast (warcat) girl, who seems to admire him a lot, and, um, not by the looks of him, I think he's a good guy?
It is just high praise. Could it really have been a revamp, Zach? Next time, I'm gonna have to go check on 'Gunslinger'. I mean, I, too, want to go with Simon and throw the gun off and do some dungeon offense or something.
"Speaking of which, what's going on with the research on the enchanted golem or something?
"Yeah, that way -"
No matter how long it went on like that, the conversation didn't run out, and in the end, I talked to Simon until I was through the night.
"Mr. Chrono, you were looking forward to last night"
"Oh, yeah... sorry"
I wonder why Fiona was a little grumpy after Simon finally left in the morning.
Less than a week after I started living in this house, I came to the backyard to do what I had always kept secret.
Our garden is built wider on the back than on the table. The size is reminiscent of the school grounds, and the 400 meter track feels like it's going to come in critical.
Most of all, thanks to the ruins that have been around for a while, this large backyard is not a beautiful garden, it is merely turning into a primitive. To some extent, I have done minimal lawn mowing in living there. I'm not particularly interested in gardening, so if you want to build a beautiful garden, I'll leave it to Saliel. Fiona was also not interested in building a garden, but instead said she would make raw materials for demonic chemicals to be made in the workshop and plants to be used for witch rituals. Absolutely, I'm going to grow Mandragola. If you ask your neighbor, "Oh, what is your home growing? If they ask," It's the cultivation of herbs, let's delude ourselves.
Anyway, so far, it's no different that it's a grass with nothing. Me and Sariel stood in a place like that.
"Ready?
"Yes."
Answering as always, sariel wears a familiar monastic garment, not a made-up garment. Long silver hair is bracketed in the back of the head, a ponytail I haven't seen in a while. With this hairstyle in this outfit, he is already a complete seventh apostle. Unexpectedly, Burri and his body trembled.
"Sooo, ha..."
Exhale loudly and let down your feelings.
As Sariel wears a battle costume named Monastic Clothing, I'm also fully armed in terms of armor. In other words, he is dressed in 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)'.
The chaos mainframe (Omega Drive) already has fire in it and the Spirit Propulsion (Elemental Booster) is warmed up. When I could always turn the booster fully open, I saw a standby display lit on the worn helmet display.
I don't have the weapon, but I'm ready for battle.
"Fast manoeuvre form/transition (afterburner/set)"
"... let's go"
At the same time as Miriam's announcement, I hit Saliel, who stood defenseless at full speed - three minutes ago.
- Goddamn it, you got no teeth in a fight.
"The master is not yet used to the manoeuvre of that armor"
"Still, I'm supposed to be faster than I am."
"In the speed itself, it doesn't make much sense. If you're swinging by the speed, there's as many gaps you're wearing."
It's tough, but you're absolutely right. As a matter of strict fact, Saliel stands grassy as he did at first, while I fall on my back in heavy armor, wretched and oversized.
"But you're still strong, you are"
"Thank you"
Rather than complimenting you, I feel like I've found out again.
But because he's strong enough to overwhelm me, Sariel deserves to be the opponent of the group.
pair of hands. Yes, it is a way of actually working out the form of a real battle meeting with the opponent. Actually, I've been dying to try this for a long time.
Lily and Fiona are in the sorcerer class in the first place, so neither bare-handed fights nor meetings with swords or other weapons could be desired as practice opponents. And I don't have any other friends I know who might be able to work with me. or so I didn't have time to go to some martial arts or swordsmanship dojo. If that's enough to practice, I choose to take the quest seriously and work out in action. I had to make money, too.
Anyway, I've never had a chance to make a team. Seriously, I've been working with Kai a little lately, and I can still reaffirm its importance. If the opponent is the right person, it will be a lot more practice than a bad actual battle.
With such a wack, Saliel's lost hands and feet finally achieved a full regeneration, while at the same time sunshine appointed him as my counterpart. Of course, my right arm is fully healed.
Well, the only rule this time is fights with hand-to-hand karate. Magic pear, protective pear, unlimited time,. If you are skilled in magic, weapon training, or protection, you plan to set another rule. This is my first time, so I decided it was a simple fight.
"All right, one more time."
Earlier, a full hit quote on the gorgeous aerial combo, decided to throw a brilliant back, made it KO, but strength and magic are still plentiful.
"Next time, I'll stick to you enough to make you use martial arts."
Copy that. We're going to release the use of martial arts.
Oh, he tied up his martial arts just now. But unfortunately, there's a difference in skill between me and Saliel that's not weird to be licked.
The experience of years of fighting as an apostle is that it is not Dada? When I was living in a pioneering village, I roughly hear about her war history. As it turns out, I've been secretly reminded that I'm a shallow career a little over a year since I started fighting in this other world.
But you can't just admit that you have no choice but to make this and the obvious difference in strength. As soon as possible, if we do not fill this difference… we will not be able to win the battle against the next Apostle. No, whether we can also defeat the 'chaossic rim', which will take over the sixth trial before then. Anyway, we need to be stronger.
"Let's go!
I was in the mood and jumped to Saliel.
That's the second fight that started, but my jerk is also vain and settles after not enough.
"-" Stinger ""
"Guuuuuuuuu!?
Two turns and three turns over the grass. Saliel's sharp knife martial arts pierced the gap to secure a further range of motion, slightly less armored flank than the front. It takes the form of being poked through one of the weekpoints of full body armor, but it's not brittle enough to penetrate a boulder in one shot.
No pain at all, but a tremendous impact gently blows my body around an armored helmet weighing nearly a hundred kilos. This is the power of martial arts.
"Knock, knock... one more time"
If you're not injured, you don't need to rest. I stand up immediately for the third battle.
"-" Stinger ""
"Also, one more time..."
They poked me in the exact same spot and I fell. I stood up and fought for the fourth time.
"-" Stinger ""
"... but again..."
"Warning. Left abdomen/durability reduction"
How many times has this been unnecessarily bugged? Light a warning (red alert) that will alert Miriam to the danger of breakage in such a way as it appears to be visible.
"... take off your armor"
"Not recommended. Enemy Threat/Extreme. Death no danger ant"
"His skill is superhuman beyond mastery. It will add and subtract to the extent that you will not die."
Instead, a dying, painful attack would come in without hesitation.
"Well, I'm used to pain, so I don't know what to do. Plus, I need to get my training done."
It's important to use your armor, but you also have to hone your strength to fight with one of my flesh. Fighting the Apostle always destroys his armor, so I don't know if this' Tyrant Armor (Maximilian) 'will last.
Even when I settled with Sariel, I ended up naked.
"Approval requested. Armored, fully liberated (full purge). Martial Arts Prayer Le"
The armor helmet releases with attentive words, and a refreshing breeze strokes my body. The inside of the armor is temperature-regulated, so it's comfortable for you, but you still feel better about your life.
Take off your armor and I'll just wear a shirt and a ruffled outfit in my pants. There's nothing more preventative to taking an attack than your own flesh that you've worked out already.
"Do you not have to wear armor?"
"Oh, don't hesitate. It's easier to remember when you're in pain."
Think about it, that's how I'm getting stronger. Without pain, you will not gain strong strength. It's natural.
"Okay. Okay, just like that."
"So please. Then let's go -"
Being alive makes the five senses sharper. He's wrapped in thick armor, so it may well be dull on air and signs. Or maybe I'm used to that again.
Anyway, now I'm more prone to detecting Saliel's movements than wearing 'Tyrant Armor (Maximilian)'. I can feel signs of her intense power, an overwhelming atmosphere, something like that, all over my body.
Her useless, one vote at a time. Unmerciful martial arts, specializing only in killing opponents. Somehow, I feel like I know how Sariel moves and how she's trying to move. Again, it's easier to remember this one.
"-" Pierce chute ""
"Guuuuuuuuuuu!!
Well, that's why I'm not suddenly a wack against Sariel.
Rolled out was the first kicking martial arts I've ever seen.
For a moment, Sariel flipped over and saw his back, so I looked at this place as a gap and tried to punch a pile bunker all over him, and at some point, a sharp toe was piercing my abs. Unstoppable speed in the eye, spinning kick. Perfect critical hit.
My body flew straight as a fast ball thrown by the ace pitcher of the Koshien winning school, smashing through the iron tsu fence surrounding the mansion and the sprinkled brick outer wall next door, dynamically interrupting my neighbor.
"Ki, caaaaaaaaaaaaaa!?
It was a sight I saw just before I fainted that the wife of a halfling living next door, who was enjoying a lovely gardening at the garden end, screamed her young face bright blue.
