Maou no Hajimekata

Episode 5: Let's Win a Deception-5

"... That's a lot of stuff."

Staring at the chains that make the noise of Jarrari, Oulu growls so.

"I have no idea what you're gonna do, you."

Staring at the oul that was attached to the wall by the chains, Folio said.

"Even if you're not so vigilant, there's nothing you can do. I almost ran out of magic in my fight with you."

Roll on a very hard floor, Oulu. It's pitiful, he muttered inside. Even if it's not in his own dungeon, he doesn't cut his magic with that degree of sorcery exercise if it's his original self.

But in this extremely magical dungeon, I always had to use witchcraft with the feeling of lighting my nails.

"Is Floro safe?

"Come on. Bransama took me, and I don't know you."

"... right"

If you lose your magic and your dungeon cube is destroyed, and Floro is gone on top of that, Oulu can no longer live. There is little magic in the food available, so it doesn't matter how much you eat. If Floro can't share his magic, he's only going to starve to death.

"Dear Folio..."

As Oulu lay down like that, Radico showed up.

"Are you all right?"

"It's obvious, you're one of Atashi's men."

He thought that some sort of disposition might be made because he was brainwashed by Oulu.

"Dear Folio, Oul-kun, I wonder what will happen..."

"Well, just pull out your skills, I guess it's an execution"

"Execution…"

Heh, and Radico's ears look down. What a nostalgia, Oulu thought, like some other HR.

"Won't you stop?

"It's not Atashi who decides that..."

Folio seems sweet for Radico, too, and she got a habit hairy as troubled.

"What's the purpose, you?

"Purpose. Purpose..."

Asked by Folio, Oulu looks far away. I'm helping Floro, but that's not Oulu's own purpose.

"To go home where I was," he said.

I miss my home more than anything, even though it's only been a few days. My dear wife, my son, my own place with my companions. Remembering the sight, Oul said.

"... you're from another world"

"Oh."

The color of sympathy floats in Folio's eyes. I was caught up in a race feud that had nothing to do with me in a distant homeland, and the feeling of missing my hometown was understandable to Folio as well.

"Well, I can advise you not to be killed if you can..."

I don't know how far you can listen to me. and folio.

"You don't have to."

But Oul shook his head to the side of the offer.

"... that. Well, let me tell you something, I don't think it's going to do much good."

"Not so"

Oul shook his head again in a folio with his shoulders flaunted.

'Cause I'm a little blamed.'

"What?

Behind the neck-leaning folio, Nagya wielded a dagger.

"Are you all right, Master Oulu?

"Oh. Well, I don't know"

Then the tail of the snake crawling through the floor makes no slight noise or vibration. Folio didn't realize what was looming right behind him.

"Dear Folio......!?

"Don't guide me. I'm just paralyzed."

Oulu to Radico, who rushes over to the folio rolling on the floor.

Nagya has the Paralysis Needle, a skill removed from the Scorpion Bee. Of course, I'm assuming this happens.

"hey... what... so..."

Barely moving his tongue tip, Folio raised his voice to squeeze it out. Nagya should be dead. A tail woman who doesn't trust which way it sticks. Yuweroy told me he disposed of it because it was no longer worth using and he knew too much he didn't have to know.

"Heh heh. Thanks, of course, to my dear master, Lord Oul."

He gave his skin a perfect look at the oul, and Naggia let him smile lusciously.

"... Though I never thought Master Oulu would trust me"

Treacherous snake. Whore. Two-tongued liar. Naggia kept getting told that, and she thought so herself. In fact, information about the Ouls had been circulated to Sarnak, and the information had been further circulated to Yuweroy.

"I believed you."

So Oul believed her.

"You must betray the Yuwerois."

For there was nowhere in the world for him that would do so.

Oul doesn't believe in anything in the first place. Therefore the suspicion was not suspicion, but mere certainty. If Nagya is going to betray Oulu, then you just have to act on that premise.

Speaking of what exactly he did, Oulu broke the bulk of his magic to spy on Nagya secretly. And I found her behavioral principles, what I wanted and what I didn't want.

Nagya was not only Uwelloy and Sarnak, but was intruding with all forces and at the same time betraying everything. It wasn't moving by profit. If you want your own good, you need a certain integrity there. Merchant of the dungeon of Oulu, as Nome was.

Then why does Nagya keep betraying everything?

That's because everything doesn't matter. Truth, justice, sincerity, love, everything doesn't matter. There was no reason to weigh in and I didn't need to protect it. She didn't believe anything either because everyone didn't believe her.

So Oulu became her only one. Everyone - even Nagya herself - believed in her first and deposited a piece of her magic. A kind of illusion that disguises and hides itself. You can use that to disguise death, or you can be the ultimate assassin to sneak in anywhere without making a sound.

That means you can kill Oulu at any time.

Nagya received the trust without differing. And he cheated again. Everyone but Oulu.

"Radico, will you untie this chain?"

"Yeah... but you don't do terrible things to Master Folio, do you?

"Of course."

Radhiko pulls the chain as Oulu snorts. Then the thick chains were cut off as easily as if they were made of paper.

"Just like I did to you, we'll just get along a little bit."

Folio screamed voiceless at Oulu, who told him so as he turned his wrist.
