Episode 20: Take a Step and Try the Immediate Death Dungeon -7

"Well, let's go."

"Nah......!? Wait!"

Lamez hastily stopped calling Oulu, who tried to leave without any further voice.

"What are you going to do with the rest!

"Nothing."

Oulu answers all the time.

"I'm not going to do anything about it"

There was nothing in there that sounded malicious or ironic. Literally, Oulu is a voice that often conveys that he has no interest in Lamez.

If it stays that way, Lamez is doomed to dry to death while trapped.

"Couldn't this line have been made without the rest!

"... right. Let me thank you for your cooperation."

Oul bows his head knowing he can't see, and Lamez perceives it with the sound of a rub of clothes. But the sound did not serve anything other than drop her into further despair.

"Thanks to the immense spiritual power of the noble Lamez, we have been considerably reduced to this point in depletion. Thanks to you we can challenge the Sun God in a state of plenty"

Because he found out that he really appreciated Lamez. On top of that, I haven't even considered the option of helping Larmes with fine dust.

"Wait! There's more... If you don't press the right button, the door will not open!

"Is there such a ridiculous mechanism? Though it would be a trap to trap intruders. Is there a king who can't go back to his chambers without relying on intruders?"

Oulu can spot the distressed lies.

"But... which way to go..."

"Marie, where's the wall open switch? Oh, here or here, this is the button that opens the door."

The information, which is the outline of the last request, is also easily found, and the footsteps of the Ouls are kept away.

"Wait... wait...!

Larmez thinks desperately, with her voice up. Something we can negotiate.

I was told my abilities were unnecessary. Knowledge is no help to the Ouls. The country, status and wealth are no longer in her hands.

Not as a sand king. Not as the ruler of all things.

As a mere lame, is there anything I can offer you?

When I thought about it that way. She didn't have anything. Now that we have lost God's protection, we cannot put out a flame of nuclear heat that can extinguish even the robust stones of the pyramid. Really, we're just gonna have to dry out here and die.

In the darkness, she kneels. And then the bowl I had in my hand appeared in my eyes. It emits a hint of light. That's the only thing you can see in the dark. And at the same time, it was the only thing left over from what is now Lamez.

Rahmes stares at it. The simple bowl did nothing to break the situation, but keeps glowing to resist the darkness. That, at least, did not save Larmes from the darkness of ignorance.

If this had been confined to total darkness, Lamez would not have been insane.

"Help..."

Let it be guided by its warm light, and words leak out of Lamez's mouth.

"Help me... please... I'm sorry... please..."

There will no longer be an oul across the wall. Knowing that, as I pray, Lamez begs for help.

"Help me... I'll do anything..."

"Is there any falsehood in that word?

"Wow!?

The answer came right from the side to the whine, and Lamez jumped up screaming.

Oul's voice was heard from across the wall, directly beside him.

"O, oul......!? Why are you here?

The wall hasn't opened for a moment. If you had come in, you would have known right away.

"You're a fool, really."

In a gracious voice, Oul said.

"I have the protection of the God of boundaries. Whether it's a door or a wall, what blocks it doesn't help."

Lamez complains. From the very beginning, then, Lamez was on Oulu's palm.

"Yes, but... why? Why did you come all the way back here?

If so, I guess this was a measure to bury Lamez. It should have been a great opportunity for Oulu to eliminate the fact that Lamez no longer had value for use.

"I certainly have no reason to go back. But this one."

"Yahoo, Ra"

What I heard from behind Oulu was Marie's voice.

"Marie...? Why..."

But it should be the same for Marie.

"'Cause you're a friend, right?

Marie smashed the thought of Lamez so lightly.

"Friends... da...?

I know what words mean. But I didn't know what she was talking about.

"I don't know. What's in it for you to save the rest?

If it had been Lamez, he might have taken it for granted. It is only natural that folk grass should devote itself to the ruler of all things. But now, I've noticed. There's nothing left for Lamez.

"No, I don't."

"Nah......! Will there be something!?

Larmes panicked to Marie, who replied softly, saying she had thought the same thing herself.

"I don't. 'Cause as a force of war, I don't need you to be right, I'm beautiful, but I don't care about the woman, she has a bad personality, she's evil with Zana..."

"Kill him first!

Marie lined up with her fingers folded and Lamez screamed unexpectedly.

"But you said you wanted to be friends, didn't you?

Laughing at her like that, Marie said.

"Mages don't break promises."

"Marie, honey..."

Almost nothing can be seen in the darkness, but its raunchy grin was also transmitted to Lamez.

"So."

There is one mean voice that breaks into such a place.

"Is it true that I would do anything?

"Oul-sama ~ …"

Marie blurred even though I had just said something good.

"That would be your situation. There's no reason for me to help him, no reason for me to listen to you."

"Ugh, that's true ~..."

Owl is kind of sweet on Marie, so I thought she'd ask me for it. is a marie that cannot be put to the mouth even if it is a boulder.

"So, what do you say?

"But to the boulder, whatever..."

When I squealed like that earlier, it was sincere. But when they ask me again, I get lost.

"Well, then you're a master, dear Lamez."

"Wait, wait, wait! Do you have masters and shit in a place like this!

Lamez desperately stopped an oul trying to slip through the wall lightly.

"But the rest are rulers of all things, kings among kings! Come on and you can't drink such terms..."

"That's what it is."

Oul was a serious voice, I said.

"It's not for you. You better not."

"... what...!?

moment. Forgetting his position and circumstances, Lamez soared dramatically.

"This is the rest! If it's not for the king, do you say so!?

"Yes."

The flame rises, as it does not burn the oul...... and instantly stands out.

"You forgot? You can't attack us. The curse is in place.... if you're serious about attacking me, there's a curse that will soon disappear."

"I mean, I knew I didn't mean it at all."

Lamez couldn't do anything like burn Marie. Physically... emotionally.

"The rest... the rest..."

Staring into the palm of his own hand as the flame went out, Lamez groaned in dismay.

"It was the first time a person called me a friend or something."

"You are born king. Rulers of all things, you know."

Lamez nods powerlessly.

"But the Sahara did not rule everything vastly. Why did you call yourself that?

"It's... it's..."

Because it is indisputably true. Trying to answer that, Lamez clogs the words.

"What is the basis for that to be true?

Oulu asked, citing what Lamez could not say.

"Who did you blow it into?

The noblest thing in the world.

Ruler of all things.

King among kings.

Yeah, that, and I was raised.

"With your father... to your mother"

"I guess so"

I couldn't even think of as much dew, such as the possibility that I wasn't.

"What will the king do if he is not king except by his own will!

To Oulu's reprimand, Lamez trembles with horror.

"Oh, oh... oh, oh..."

Coming to the back of that brain is a darkness that does not shed a single light. In a narrow, dark stone cabinet where even little kids can't get in if they don't give in.

"Forgive me... Forgive me... Father..."

She followed Oulu and begged him so.

"I'm not your father."

Touching the head of Pong and Lamez, Oul whispers in a gentle voice.

"Hey Rames. You don't have to be a king anymore. Just like that, just lame and good"

"But... there is nothing else but a king. I can't stand being nothing..."

Oul gently turned his arm around Lamez's shoulder scratching his body.

"Then you can be mine. Same as Marie, on this demon king's stuff."

"Marie... and... same..."

That name that squeaks and squeaks. The honor forced by the curse fell out because the conditions for lifting the curse were met. Because she sincerely admitted to being friends with Marie.

"How can I be Oulu's...?

"It's an easy thing."

Oulu answers Lamez, who looks up to herself like a lost child.

"I'll love you. You just have to accept it."

It is.

In the depths of my heart, Rames kept wishing, but no matter how much power I had, it was something I didn't get.

"Oh......"

To the appearance of a ramez who gives a joyous voice.

Marie thought Oul-sama was still a jerk when she dropped the girl.
