Monster no Goshujin-sama

23. Immediate encounters prior to metastasis

Twenty-three.

After a conversation with Berta, Yuna Iino left Takahiro Mashima's rented room.

So face to face with the big knight with the bald head.

"Hello, Mr. Gordon. I'll be out a little bit, thank you."

"Understood."

Gordon lowered his head when he smiled reliably.

When Yuna talked about leaving for a little while, he bothered to make time for me to take over the surrogate escort in the meantime.

In return for her thanks, Yuna left the room.

It was before evening that a communication from Shimazu Knitting, who wanted to meet and talk, was communicated via the Cathedral Church.

Designated is where you can go back in less than a minute if you have 'Weiwaten' feet.

In the unlikely event of any anomaly, it must have been a consideration to be able to rush quickly.

As she walked down the hallway, Yuna worried her head about what to say and what to comfort her knitwear.

Yuna has been in close contact with the Knights of the Diocese this past month as well as with the Knights of the Knights of the Diocese.

I knew best about Takahiro Mashima's rendezvous with the expedition that his knitwear was moving a lot.

It would have been a shock, Yuna broke her chest thinking about the insides of her close predecessor.

In fact, after the rendezvous ended in a cry, your hand washing sunflower faded away, eliminating words, and as you mouthed something that clarified that Okazaki thought well, the coat immediately pulled into the room.

Yuna tried to speak, but had to drop that back off without knowing what to say.

In retrospect of that time, Yuna felt blocked.

I couldn't even do anything for you.

No. If that's what you mean, it's always been.

By the time I came back to Fort Chile, the fort had already collapsed.

At the time of the False Brave case, the tragedy followed when the truth arrived.

I pushed him under Uncle Borderline, but it didn't come true to persuade him.

I tried so hard, there's nothing I can do about it.

The more you move, the more helpless you become.

It stings and erodes my chest, and it won't disappear.

The powerlessness nestled in his chest extends his black tentacles and crawls around his body.

Scratch the meat and let your hands and feet shrivel.

When this reaches the tip of my finger, the tip of my foot, I won't be able to move another step.

I even felt such a bad hunch.

"... no"

Yuna swallowed a spilled sigh.

Don't just think worse.

At the corner, Berta cared, and I just felt better.

I couldn't have let that go without thinking about it this way.

Yuna shook her thoughts off the back of her brain without benefits.

And that was then.

"Huh?"

At the end of the hallway, a shadow spilled from one of the rooms.

This is still a restricted area for Takahiro Mashima to stay in.

Hence, few people.

If you were there, it was supposed to be about a knight.

But it was the person in the hooded jacket who showed up.

Obviously not a knight.

Yuna looked familiar in that outfit.

"Are you..."

Yuna had encountered a mysterious man in a village when she was investigating fake braves.

And I was told that the Macrolin Borderline Uncle gave up Takahiro Mashima's army of crusades.

I don't know because I didn't see his face, but the person in front of him was dressed the same as the mysterious man.

"Long time no see."

And, as you can see, the man said so in an unnatural low voice.

"You, why are you here..."

"Come here, please"

Not responding to the words he asked, he said it unilaterally and immediately the man pulled into the room.

Yuna gently cramped her cheeks.

"... so you're not going to listen to me. Well, it's been like that before."

Snuff, she got a little lost.

The unidentified man is an obvious suspicious person.

Maybe we should call the knight out loud.

But he owed me information.

Without that, Yuna didn't know about the impending crisis with Takahiro Mashima, and she might not have had this situation right now.

"... hey, it could be about him again"

After a few thoughts, Yuna followed the man into the room.

The rooms in the compartment around here are not used because they are being paid for.

It seemed like one of those rooms here, too.

To the man waiting, Yuna faced from the front.

And frowned faintly.

I felt uncomfortable.

I just didn't know what that was.

"So, what is it?

In the end, set aside the discomfort, Yuna asked.

Seeing a somewhat risky attitude, the man returned the words after a little mumbling.

"I want to know what's going on around Takahiro Mashima. Let me speak up."

"For that matter, were you waiting?

Yuna said in half a shudder.

It's a coincidence that I came out alone like this today.

Had it not been for the call from the knit, we would still have exchanged words with Berta in the room by now.

I don't know when I'm coming. If I've been waiting for such a coincidence, I thought it would be a lot more patient.

"Well, fine. You owe me."

"Thank you"

Of course, Yuna also considered the risks of talking here.

But this is what members of the expedition and some knights know.

More importantly, this mysterious figure did something to help Takahiro Mashima before.

Deciding that there would be no particular problem, Yuna briefly talked about how she had been.

The conversation ended in about five minutes, answering the occasional question from the man.

"This is the place, okay?

"Oh."

When I took the confirmation, the man nodded.

"Thank you for taking the time"

"... you, what the hell do you want?

Without hiding the surprise, Youna asked.

The way the man behaved in front of him seemed odd.

"You owe me information before. So if you don't want to reveal who you are, that's fine. But can't you at least tell me what you want to do?

If only once, I considered myself a bona fide third party who did not want to reveal himself.

But it would have been different if we had come all the way here.

"What are you from Mashima?

……

There was an interval between responses.

Even if you're thinking about it, it's a little long.

As Yuna started twitching, the man finally opened his mouth.

"Nothing. Nothing. I am."

As I had in mind, it was an unsympathetic word.

There was just a nuance there that somehow caught on.

"I'm just..."

Plus, say something.

But there was a loud noise, so as to block it.

"Hey, what!?

As a scarecrow, Yuna stiffened her body.

The sound was heard from outside the window that was open.

It was a nearby room.

"... are you here"

While Yuna was surprised, the man was calm.

Crush calmly.

"You're out of time."

"You..."

Yuna was confused.

However, I was quick to deal with the situation.

"Out of the way!

I pop the man who was on the path and ride myself out of the open window.

What we need to check is the window in this side of the room.

There was one broken spot in the window of the room lining the intertwined heights of the eyes.

Positionally, it's probably one of the rooms where Takahiro Mashima's line is staying.

It was a raid.

"Why!?

Yuna gave a screaming voice.

The mysterious man obviously knew this would happen.

There's no way this raid has anything to do with a mysterious man.

I helped you once, how could you do this?

I doubt it, but I didn't have time to ask.

"Knock."

Yuna put the man down and kicked open the door and jumped out of the room.

Full speed.

Run back the way you came.

But at that moment I felt an increase in magic.

It's so intense magic that even Yuna feels threatened.

"You're lying......!?

Too fast to deploy.

If it's normal, we'll never make it.

It's impossible to have cheats with many times more physical abilities than a regular person.

But the only exception was here.

"Ohhhhh!

The girl's two names are 'Wei Waste Heaven'.

If it's just speed, you're an imbecile no one in this world can beat.

Come on, the place was still close.

About three minutes on foot, about two hundred meters away.

Including the time to get on the highest speed, it won't take Yuna five seconds.

The door to the room you are aiming for is open.

The cathedral knight of the guard, who noticed strangely, must have stepped into the room.

Without slowing down the rush through, Yuna jumped into the room.

Immediately thereafter, the ability to metastasize was opened.

You can't expect me to be transferred all of a sudden, ahead of you jumping in.

Too abrupt a change in the world was something we couldn't handle by doing 'Wewaten'.

"Ugh!?

Sometimes the speed was on, Yuna's body was thrown to the ground.

I rolled down the ground with all the crap.

It was hard stone ground.

If Yuna's body hadn't been sturdy off the girder, she could have been hurt pretty badly.

Standing up instantly, Yuna pulled out her hips sword and looked around.

First, the alarm of the raid.

At the same time, we try to understand the situation.

The accuracy of the response, even though confused, would be commendable, given that events that we do not anticipate have taken place so far in a row.

But Yuna, who is getting used to such a training ground, this situation was out of hand.

"... here, where?

A loud voice rose.

Yuna stood alone in a slightly brilliant stone aisle.
