Kyūkei-san Wanna Take a Break !

You're dyeing your body with a feeling of nasty irritability like crawling insects. Even though it's not a sweaty body, it's an illusion that the unpleasant sweat conveys the forehead. Sylvia in front of me is looking at us, but I can't afford to care.

Michael, you're not here.

Simply lost sight. I wouldn't have thought of anything if I had just gone far. But from the realm of my radar, I have the illusion that it has disappeared like smoke.

I mean, Michael, you were in line with Kathy. I couldn't have lost sight of it.

"... Michael, don't you know where you are...?

After being shocked by what I was told and being made to recognise the status quo, my body trembled small, and Sylvia and I finally looked at each other.

……

"What do you think...?"

"... yeah...... I can't even look at it..."

I finally squeeze out my voice.

"... why... why should I have been so careful..."

"You mean you disappeared while you were talking to me?

"... yeah... I guess so..."

I don't know. I don't know where the hell I went. Why...?

"Silvia, it's me."

"You're going, right? Please be careful."

Nodding, I go outside the village. We're heading to where Michael would have been.

A forest near a village with few monsters. The quietness of the place was usually calm, but now I feel creepy.

I desperately look for a forest where no one can be found. I thought I wouldn't know where he was, but as soon as I got there, I knew.

A beautiful apple and a knitted basket are falling.

"... Michael...!

I look for something in the place. Honestly, I didn't play cheese level with such a normal game reincarnation, so I can't analyze it in detail. But... I can't go home like this.

Nothing seems to have changed on the radar either. On such a day, neither the demons nor the demons could see that they had planted anything else.

Of course, the village is also careful. But there was no change in the quiet forest for a few moments, as mercilessly laughed at my unbearable heart.

... I can do too little in this case.

Picking up the apple basket, he returned to the village with a scattered feeling of anger and helplessness mixed up in a hand mixer.

... Bobby, I don't know what to tell Petra...

-

When I returned to the village chief's house, Rick called out to me with a serious face. I can't wait... I decided to have Bobby and Petra called right away.

Sylvia is sitting next to me. Rick, the village chief, Patricia, and Kathy are here to talk to us.

"... what's wrong, Cuki-san?"

"Bobby, Petra. Please listen calmly.... Michael went missing this afternoon."

Immediately after I said so, they opened their eyes. Bobby speaks up.

"What do you mean?"

"My radar can be seen quite extensively. So I've been watching over Kathy and Michael, but suddenly, no monsters appeared during the day, and Michael's reaction disappeared...."

... I put the apple basket in my pocket on my desk.

"This is... definitely..."

When Bobby confirms that it belongs to Michael, he falls to Bobby to make Petra faint. Even with surprise, Petra was completely out of her mind in Bobby's arm and had a blue face, making her chest ache.

I have to say something... that's what Sylvia said before I did.

"Please don't tease Cuki-san."

"... eh?

This is the situation. Just because you defended me doesn't mean you can do anything about it.

"We... relied too much on Kyuki-san. Ability to create as many white gold medicines as you can to cure the Demon King's curse Petra possessed. Ability to disappear in an instant and communicate with the Sucubus in prison. And... beyond the village, the magic of an overrated radar that can find a vast area of the continent."

Sylvia... lowered her head in my place.

"I'm sorry. I must have lived here for too long and felt relieved. This failure is my responsibility as a leader.... I was alarmed... I thought you shouldn't bother me so much as get into trouble...."

... that's not true... even though I was in charge...

Bobby and Petra were also reacting close to me, feeling sorry for Sylvia, whose head I was lowering, and feeling pathetically confused about what to do.

Sylvia is an old dragon. It is the apex of the species' Hierarchy, with overwhelming abilities.

To apologize to the villagers of the Beast. The party member... is lowering his head for me as a demon.

"... Master Sylvia"

So Petra shouted weakly.

"... now we are living safely in the Repozeta, but if we hadn't, we would have probably ripped the village food off with the Mia Kisbeta.... starvation is terrifying. Fenvena varies from year to year in how things are made. The fewer years... that's enough to test the unity of the village."

Petra takes the apple out of the cage.

"I have been foolishly used by Satan against your companions. And we know how many crops are coming to us, thanks to the work of Cuki-san.... you couldn't even imagine fighting Satan in the first place. If it hadn't been for Cuki-san, we would have all been destroyed."

Those eyes are pointing at me.

It's definitely not a convincing face. But... you don't have the face to blame.

"I just listened to you... and I wondered why you didn't protect me from me at first."

……

"It was good. I am the one who has done it, done it too much, and my mind has been alarmed... and we cannot complain about the proud Repositories, what we cannot do."

Perhaps now his body is shrinking... Petra closed his eyes and clasped his fists in both hands and slapped his thighs, and he saw me clearly. This is how you're holding on to your strength.

"But... still, I have to rely on you. Please... please, Michael. Michael is our hope for the future. The light of the next generation. Michael... please... take her..."

Petra lowered her head.... against me who made a mistake in this case.

"Of course. For me... and for me, Michael...! She's a precious child! Absolutely... Absolutely, whatever happens, I'll take it back from you!

I declare loudly that I will blow away my anxiety.

Petra looked at me with her spine stretched out. Bobby was looking at me too. And I lowered my head silently.

"... well..."

I'm done talking, Sylvia.

"Instead of reflecting, I want to think about the thread until it is resolved, even if I think it is somewhat cold."

"Sylvia is right about that. It's only by solving it, isn't it? It helps me say things that are difficult to say."

"Yes. So, Mr. Cucky, I need to talk to you for a second, so can you come with me?

"Nh, okay."

I will try to get Sylvia out of the room properly.

"... Cuki-chan..."

...! That was Patricia. You can't miss a little tweet, just Patricia calls you cute.

When I looked back... there was Patricia who looked worried.

"Don't be rude. Cuki-chan, it's usually bright, but... we cooked together for more than six months, so I know, Cuki-chan is very responsible. I'll definitely make it impossible."

"... Patricia..."

"So I promise."

Patricia wraps my hands around them.

"Never... never do anything to sacrifice yourself. Even if Michael can help you, and you're in a situation where you can't help... never help yourself at your own expense."

"... I'll do my best."

"No, promise me never."

I've been shaking my hand as hard as I've ever been. My eyes are shooting through me.

…… ... okay. I promise. In other words, Satan's attack was unprotected and intact. I will never lose. I'm a little tight!... and... and I haven't eaten much of Patricia's winter food yet. I also want to teach you a lot of winter dishes. "

There you go, stew, Yamato pot. And from Patricia, I'm sure it's a nice local dish.

"I'll be back."

"Yeah, yeah, I promise! Cuckoo!

Patricia hugs me. It conveys warmth to the body. I stroke Patricia's back, too.... I can tell you that you're trembling.

It's okay. It's okay. I'm not strong, I'm really strong.

So don't worry.

I'll be back safely.

-

Sylvia mixes fire with her white breath and blows it gently into the sky. It seems that this figure has a bit of a strong sigh.

"... everyone's not following me."

"Yeah."

Sylvia looks at me with her arms around her.

"It's a problem in the first place... Satan really doesn't attack very often."

"Hmm? Yeah, that's right."

"And one more thing. I kidnapped Michael... well, since there's no body, I think I did. That's right."

"... that's right."

Sylvia walks to the middle of the village.

A village lined with completely familiar log houses. There's a street light around it, and when Sylvia turns around, magic lingers and lights come on.

"There are two ways to kidnap. First of all, the possibility of warping in some way."

"I thought so."

"The other is... the possibility that a shadow-type monster is involved."

Ah!

Yes, a stealthy shadowblade tiger or something like that might have stopped getting caught by the radar because of its skill or race nature.

... shortly after that, maybe if I was looking for more neighborhoods, maybe I'd find them...

"But the method itself is fine."

Silvia shook her head to shake off the rest of the conversation and looked at me in a different and swordy atmosphere.

Kyuki-san I still think this kidnapping was aimed at you. "

"... look at me..."

"In the first place, Satan is beating Asmo Deus... it should be. It's also confirmed that the succubus is captured. You're the only threat."

Sure, that's right. I am not boastful, but of course I have the strongest pride. Even if you don't know my exact numbers, Satan will be on my guard. Being vigilant about Sylvia... may be true, but Sylvia doesn't think about it.

"So there are probably two reasons why we kidnapped him. The first thing I thought about it was that they were watching out for Cucumber in Bellefegor."

"Well, that's what I'm talking about.... hmm? Did you say two?

"Yes, it is possible that you are alert to Bellefegor. But... the second thing I've finally learned recently."

... I wonder what. I can't imagine.

"Simple story, is the timing really unsuitable? Originally, I shouldn't have had to look for Idea on guard anymore. It doesn't matter if the level is down, because the leader's family can't lose the demon king."

"... that's right... but..."

"There may still be something I'm missing... but it was unnatural. Why were you looking for Idea's place?"

What's that supposed to mean?

"Well then, I'll tell you. Why was Petra under the curse of anger searching for the location of Asmodeus?

"... eh?

"I was crusading you. Why did you look at Mimi and scream" Asmo Deus "? I mean, she was born Level 1. For Satan, it's necessary to find out. If the demons themselves are a threat, why aren't they responding to Bellefegor?

"That's...!

"Say it again. Why were you looking for Asmo Deus?

That's true. I don't care what you think!

"There's no reason to desperately search for that little girl, who doesn't seem like a threat, just by matching her race with color. That's where I'm thinking about the possibility."

Sylvia pronounced it.

"Satan did not observe the moment of the death of his predecessor, Asmodeus."

... the fog seemed to be clear.

"I might actually have knocked it down. However, I am alert to Asmodeus so that he may not be able to force himself. I wish there were some tips for solving it....."

"... that's because we don't know about your ancestors..."

"That's right. I don't want Idea-san to be unhappy, so I'll let him know."

Sylvia loosened up the air and came closer to me.

"There's one more thing I need to ask you, Cuki-san."

... when I heard that wish, I opened my eyes and, surprisingly, accepted it.

-

In the middle of the night, near the gate of the village.

Only magic stone streetlights illuminate the quiet village.

... in a quiet place, the sound resonates well.

I was sharpening my nerves in the woods... and Sylvia's predictions did come true.

"[Rockspeare]!

My magic runs through the woods. With the roaring sound of a quiet night, the enemy is blown away.... there was a monkey monster with a black body.

"......!

You can hear a breathtaking sound from the quiet forest again.

I come out in that forest under the little moonlight of a leaky night.

"... cuckoo, san..."

That's right.

Return the voice. I may have heard a slightly frustrating voice.

"Don't worry, I know how you feel. But... but now there's someone who's worried about you, just like you're worried about Michael. Think about how he feels."

……

"So... let's go back, Bobby."

Out of the shadow of the forest, under the moonlight, a rounded outline emerges.

"... I'm sorry. I had no idea that monsters would come out like that... and I got a little distracted."

"No, I couldn't stay still either. But...."

"... that's right. Certainly I already have someone to protect besides Michael. You couldn't have done it here..."

Bobby looks back at the black monkey's body. Then he turned to me again and lowered his head.

"I don't know."

"Instead of saying it, never go out on your own from now on. Don't worry about Petra."

"Okay."

It's Bobby's job to protect Petra.

That said, Bobby nodded with his eyes down when he twisted his face a little.

It wasn't impossible to predict, but I didn't expect to act so quickly. That's all... I guess you're worried. We must find Michael. [M]

I murmured in my heart as I looked at Bobby's back.

... Sylvia, you did your job.
