Episode 5: Let's Catch a Foolish Intruder

"Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh..."

He gives a resounding voice from the bottom of hell, and Lil shows up with his best wishes.

The body was covered in blood and emitted a tremendous odor.

"What's up? Are you done with your job?

"It's over. Yikes! Oh, if I feel sick all over my body already!

Lil yells back at Oulu, who doesn't even have to turn around. Oul then turned his gaze to Lil unexpectedly.

"Are you done yet? That was faster than I thought."

Three days had already passed since Oul ordered Lil to make skeletons.

Hundreds are the task of shredding the flesh of a certain corpse, carving a magic formation on the bone and skeletonizing it.

Oul watched as it would take a week even if he realized he was going to let the skeletons he'd made along the way help.

"I've lost a lot of goblins, so I fascinated them to help. Do something about it."

Lil showed his body twisted with blood and fat.

Goblins are a kind of little ghost about 4,50 cm tall. It looks ugly and weak, but it would certainly be ideal for that kind of help because of the large crowd and the cleverness of the hand.

"That's faster than I thought. All right, follow me."

"I hope you blow it with magic like you always do...... what is this!?

Lil, who followed Oulu as he blurted, opened his eyes to the sight that spread in front of him.

A large hole was dug in the center of a large room about 10 m square, where the water was filled.

"Find the groundwater. I pulled it here. Wait a minute...... golem! Put the rock in the water!

When Oul commands, the statue of the stone that was sitting in the corner of the room slowly rises.

Similar to a gargoyle, but rather closer to a living dead as being. It is a rock doll, the Golem, who was provisionally given his first life by the magic of Oul.

Golem took out a large, red-burned rock as he plunged his hand into the flame, which was burning in abundance in the corner of the room. Serious burns are almost inevitable if you are human, but they have no effect on the golem made of rocks.

And throw the red-burned rock straight into the artificial fountain. The rock sinks to the bottom of the fountain as it sounds and makes a hot air. 2,3 When released, the water in the fountain became just the right temperature.

Red burnt rocks don't get so cold. However, the water in the spring is gradually replaced with water flowing from the water source, so it is not too hot. It was a proud hot house that Oulu had adjusted over the past few days.

"He made me a bath..."

Hands together in front of his chest, Lil glanced with gratitude. Oul swallows the words "nothing for you". In fact, I thought it would be much later for Lil to finish the job, so there's no haz that would be for Lil, but it's not one thing at a time.

"... sort of. Golem, burn a new rock. Okay, so what if we go in? Wash your body in a bucket first."

"Is that it? Is Oulu going in too?

Lil asks as he receives the bucket.

"Oh. Speaking of demons, you'd be tired of not drinking and eating for three days, wouldn't you?

I understand what Oul means, and Lil laughs.

"Well... hot water and meals, I'll have it"

A few minutes later, a murmur echoed in the large room.

"Ha... feels..."

Lil groans contentedly as he grips loosely into the water.

After washing the dirt away with water, she was poured plenty of concentrate from the oul and now enjoyed the temperature of the water relaxed.

"Speaking of which, you said the goblins were here. What happened after I let you help me with my job?

Oul asks this one with a looser look than usual if he is relaxing in the water.

Speaking of which, I think Lil has had a giddy, tenacious look somewhere since we met. Doesn't mean he's in a hurry, but I think Oulu was consciously making an obnoxious look.

I grabbed the water and the relaxing oul looked like a young man everywhere.

Even so, the contents are well over 70 old men.

"... Lil?

"Oh, yeah, uh, when the charm broke, I left it there because I was building a nest at the entrance."

Lil replies hastily to Oulu, who calls his name by surprise.

"Well, then that's fine... in the future, the demons and warcraft will get lost in the temper and magic of this dungeon, but basically leave it alone. It will be an offering to a costless foreign enemy."

"Is that quite a thing?

Oul nods at Lil's inquiry.

"Originally goblins prefer dark places like caves to nest. Apart from goblins, there are many demons who prefer darkness. If the blood runs, you'll get angry too. Unlike outdoors, it's not scattered by wind or rain. If you get angry, it will be a comfortable place for those who belong to the devil. That way we'll be able to call out the Warcraft and the higher demons."

"Uh... if you ask me, my body might be a little lighter"

"I chopped up a lot of bodies. If you get more nervous, there will be resentful spirits, and the dead may even move on their own. If you prepare this many dungeons, you will have some protection without labor."

"I see..."

Inside, Lil laughs bitterly. The look on Oul's face, relaxed until earlier, is completely undone, with a slight grin on his mouth. Here's how he always looks when he talks about how the dungeon works.

"More..."

That's when Oul tried to keep the word going.

It doesn't sound familiar, 'Jillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillillilli!' A shitty noise rang.

"What is this!?

"... you're an intruder"

The look on Oulu's face tightened even tighter.

"What do you mean intruder!?

Lil asks Oulu as he hurries to get up to speed and head to the dungeon core.

"Probably an adventurer. I guess one of the villages that made the 'contract' asked me to come and kill me. That's what caught the alarm trap."

At the entrance of the labyrinth, a trap was erected with the magic of Oul.

"What's the skeleton placement?

"I assigned it equally there because there was a bone mark on the map I was given before..."

"All right, good job."

Pomp, and Oul gently slap Lil on the head. Lil accidentally blushed her cheeks to the straightforward compliment she received for the first time.

"Besides goblins and skeletons, the guards in this labyrinth now are four hellhounds, two golems and 382 imps. Imp can't count as many fights, but a beginner to intermediate adventurer should be able to repel them enough."

Never mind how Lil looks, Oul takes out his magic when he reaches the dungeon core. And then, through the magic that flows into the core, it expands its senses throughout the dungeon. By doing so, Owl was able to see how the dungeon as a whole was taking hold.

"How long is an intermediate adventurer?

"The previous mayor of the village is the superior of the intermediate."

To Oulu's words, Lil blues a little. Intermediate and defensive, while the ambush managed to take him down. I can't help it if I have a few intermediates or if I'm an advanced opponent.

"... there he is! Are you in battle with Skeleton... but this... what!?

Ouls rarely seep rush colors. I can't see the sight he's looking at. Lil was extra anxiously driven.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"... 10 skeletons is a blow.... and there's only one opponent. He's advanced."

Releasing his hand from the dungeon core, Oul takes the cane that was standing on the wall and calls the bathroom golem.

"Perhaps Hellhounds will be opponents too. You'll be dealing with them here. The opponent is a magic swordsman. While Golem and you hold him back, I'll knock the magic in."

"... ok"

Miraculously, Lil nods. Lil will be slaughtered under one sword, but this body is tentative first one anyway. It's no problem because even if I die, I'm just going back to the demon world.

"... if you win, call me back, right? You still got a pile to do, don't you?

"Of course.... Coming!

One woman shows up from the aisle to respond to Oul's voice. Red hair ponytail, 16,7 girls. It didn't look so awesome, but the power to wrap it up definitely said she was quite capable.

"... you're the 'Wicked Mage Oul'?

Put your sword to Oulu, who refrains behind the golem and lil, and the girl asks. Oul did not answer and began chanting the spell.

"Silence is affirmative, all the time. Shit!"

The little squeaky moment, the girl ran at an awesome rate. Lil stretches his nails long in an attempt to intercept him, and the golem shakes his arm up. but against the girl's movements, that was too slow. The girl slips between the golem and the lil like a disease, and in an instant approaches the owl.

"Shima...... Huh!

Lil, who turned around, looked at the neck of Oulu, who danced in the universe, blinded by the sword of a girl.

Blood drips from the cleavage of his neck, his neck falls to the ground, and he rolls with clutter.

A moment later, the body fell to the ground.

At the same time, Golem, who lost Oulu's magic, falls to the ground with his arms shaken up.

"... you're human... then, aren't you? He's got wings. Your husband, the kind who thinks about Sama's enemies or something?

A girl turns back to Lil and sets up her sword without alarm. Lil raised his hands and informed him of his intention to surrender.

"... No way. I'm just tied up in a contract. If my husband dies, my contract is null and void. We're going back to the demon world."

"Really? Well, I'll ask, but the person I just killed fits in 'Oulu', right?

When the girl paid for the blood of her sword, she put it in her sheath. That said, I don't inadvertently stop near Lil.

It was obvious that if Lil was attacked by her, she could quickly pull out her sword and break it both ways.

"Yeah, it is. Sorry, bad personality, rough use of people or demons, bad tea for habits over 70 years old porn, dungeon idiots thinking about dungeons"

"Haha, the devil was struggling a lot too"

The girl laughs furiously.

"But, you know, I'm not even that bad of a guy, my husband,"

The girl feels slightly uncomfortable with Lil's words. Soon after trying to find out what caused it, Lil stretches her nails and waves her arm to cleave the girl.

"Wow! I told you I wouldn't be hostile, but I lied!

The girl pulled the sword out of her sheath without difficulty.

"I'm not lying to you. He said he wouldn't fight."

It was too late when I realized that word. Oul, pointing his wand at the girl, whines a word.

"'Sleep.'"

In a fading consciousness, the girl realizes who the discomfort is.

None of the words that criticized my husband were in the past.

"You've noticed."

Oul pounded Lil's head as he hugged the collapsing girl.

"I'm not a kid," Lil replies.

"I told you. If my husband dies, I'll go back to the demon world. He's not home, so he's not dead."

It is not Lil's will to return to the demonic realm. It's part of the contract. Once again, Lil thought of his prudence, wondering if Oul had calculated this far and thought of the contract.

"What's going on in there?"

Fingering Oulu's neck, which is already snug and doesn't even have blood marks.

I know I can heal my wounds because I can rejuvenate or regain strength, but I don't think I can bring back dead to life on a boulder. Besides, it would be disproportionate if it were yourself, not someone else.

"It's not a very rare procedure. I'm saving my life somewhere else, so this body dies no matter how much it's destroyed. Instead, you don't have to have a scratch on your body to die if your life is more destroyed."

"Oh... I see"

Needless to say, you keep your life in what.

What Oulu cares most about...... I mean, dungeon core.

"... So, what's the kid gonna do?

Lil showed the girl Oulu could hold. He didn't die, he just let him sleep. The girl was sleeping in a regular way.

"Well... apparently, he was born on the basis of the 'Star of Heroes'"

"Star of Heroes?

To Lil, who asks the parrot back, Oul nods.

"Very rarely. A human being born into some sort of fate. Such human beings are, for the most part, capable of being out of step with other human beings from an early age, and if they grow up, they become more than first-rate masters on that path. but the life itself is not flat, and it will always bring great misfortune and good fortune."

"Heh... Could it be that Oul was also born on the basis of" The Demon King's Star "?

"That can't be true. If so, complete the dungeon before you reach this age, or you're drooling wild."

Oul described himself as' talented and talented, capable only of the years he worked so hard '. The only survival was completing the dungeon core by the end of its life and finding the dragon vein.

"So, what happened to the kid after all?

When Lil asks again, Oulu clouds his expression.

"He was born into a hero's star. Even if you try to kill me, you won't die so easily. The effect of the brainwashing fascination technique is also faint. You can solve it on the occasions you say it's here."

Lil thought I should kill him because he slept well, but even if he was born as heroic as possible. They say if you try to kill him, some miracle will happen and you'll pick up your life. Death is later in life, when power fades. It's also a miserable way to die. That's what heroes are born for.

"So what do we do? You can't keep me asleep all the time, can you?

"... I don't have a choice, I don't want to do it because it doesn't have a very high success rate, but there's no other way"

With a bitter look, Oul made his decision.

"Tune in"
