My sister-in-law has become a brave man.

Episode 37: "Night hunting, black towers and emperors. 」

"Rio. Let's just talk about 'Night Hunt' and 'Black Tower'. You have no idea?

I was tired of saying it was only morning, but I answered "refreshingly" and went into a listening position.

Something seems like a bad word, so I want to hear it for now.

"Are you willing to tell me why such knowledge is lacking?

Hmm...

He seems to be the prince of the Van Grey Empire who denies the brave summons, but yesterday I asked Adelaide that both the Beast Man and the Ancient Dragon Enchanted Dragon and the Dragon Man (Dragoon) are cooperative with the summoned brave man.

He would probably have no problem telling me that he was the stepsister of Heavenly Sound who was summoned as a brave man.

Yes, Thoughts concluded.

For some reason, as caught on my throat, there were no words to reveal.

Sorry.

I don't know what it is, but I'm mullied right now.

I shook my neck silently beside him, and Eyre looked so sad, but he kept his word that he would not listen deeply.

"Hmm. So, do we follow history and talk? Do you know that the first brave men were interested in the Duchy of Surrell Ode?

"I heard you became Grand Duke. You even made a country?

Dr. Eyre's history class began when I was impressed with the irony.

After sealing the Demon King, the first brave man to return to the southern continent married a wizard woman who was a fellow traveler and began to live in the southern lands.

There people gathered in admiration of him, eventually becoming a country called the Principality of Surrell Ode (those with a lot of magic seem to have a long life span, and the brave ones lived quite a long time).

Now under the status of First Grand Duke as the guide of a nation, he first shaped the country to lay down the law and began collecting magical knowledge with his wife.

Hearing that the former valiant Grand Duke was gathering knowledge of magic, the wizards gathered in the Duchy of Surrell Ode.

The Principality of Surrell Ode thus becomes a magical state governed by law.

They developed the magical knowledge they had thus gathered, trial and error.

Based here on the fragmentary knowledge of [Ancient Language (Enchanted Rune)], the magical language of the Old World, the current mainstream [Spell (Rune)] will be assembled.

Because the Grand Duke had liberated his knowledge of magic to some extent, the wizards had grown, and convenient magic items had been created one after the other, making people's lives richer than before.

On the other hand, the diffusion of [spells], made much easier to handle than [ancient languages], gradually lost knowledge of [ancient languages], which remained marginal (few people wanted to use [ancient languages], which were difficult to handle, and were not inherited by the next generation).

That's how the first brave men lit up the world like the sun, eventually quietly immersed themselves.

The problem is, you know, after death.

The loss of the bearer of the mighty power of light and the still inexhaustible intrusion of demons from the northern continent (the demonic continent was filthy with temper, and no longer where creatures could live properly, and the brave could do nothing about this) slowly eroded the hearts of those left behind.

Furthermore, the fact that the Dark God remains lost led to fear of the "night".

I don't know what triggered it.

That's just how the anxiety and fear that accumulated in the accumulation exploded at one point at a time, and humans began hunting for what was born with black, the color of "darkness”.

That's the beginning of The Night Hunt.

I'm in the middle of a conversation, but I have a few questions.

"Maybe it has something to do with hair and eye color and" attributes "?

What are you asking for the obvious? I'm used to that face.

I don't know, Doctor.

Original world. Then hair and eye colors were genetically determined.

Don't look weird. Tell me.

"You hardly know what common sense is.

Yeah. Refreshing.

"... well, fine. The color of your hair and eyes is an indication of the attribute you were born with. Though often born with the same attributes as their parents, gold indicating that it is an attribute of light or black of dark attributes can be born like a mutation.

There shouldn't be a hair or an eye, just one, that they're both born with black, like you.

Ho.

But Heavenly Sound is a dark-haired, light-eyed brave Sama, huh?

Besides, the fact that he wasn't suddenly hunted when he was summoned means the commotion itself is already calm?

One more question while I tilt my neck.

"Why 'night hunting' instead of 'black hunting' or 'dark hunting'?

"I didn't name it. I don't know exactly.

At first, it gradually expanded to hunt only those born with black, hunting all the suspicious things that caused anxiety, became.

They told me from there that it would be a move to hunt for the "night," which was a symbol of people's anxiety at the time, making it a "night hunt".

Well, it seems that only cats escaped difficulty even in black.

Is the cat all right?

In the witch hunt, the black cat was mostly taken on the road.

"The story of the first brave man drowning his black cat is famous. I hear that in the Principality of Surrell Ode, we still worship cats like the use of God.

Ah.

Speaking of which, I might have heard it in the bard hero Tan.

After being summoned, the first brave man always took a black cat who showed up from somewhere and said he was immensely adorable without trying to let go of him to go anywhere?

This twisted part again, it's not long.

That's why I'm tired of Lar Arc.

"Although the cat at the time died during a showdown with the Demon King on the northern continent.

Is that so? I didn't know because I didn't hear it till the end.

But if you're drowning, why are you even bringing such a dangerous toko?

It's weird.

... Ah. Sorry.

I broke my hip.

Continue, please.

The kingdom of Iguzeks in the West and the Duchy of Surrell Ode in the South were rough with 'night hunting'.

Particularly terrible was the Kingdom of Igzex, where fanatics serving the temple of the Goddess of Light were at the head of the "Night Hunt" (there are also stories of high priests of the Temple using fanatics for materials promoting the interests of the Goddess of Light).

And in the Principality of Surrell Ode, there was a commotion (due to demand as amulets or exorcisms) where people who were afraid of the night tried to steal the brave ones from the palace.

At the time, the Grand Duke decided it was difficult to defend himself in the palace, ordering his belly-hearted men to secretly take out the weapons of the Sky Series so that no one would know, and hide them everywhere.

It was the spirits who condemned these human disturbances in the strongest terms.

They said that they have no touchable entity, power itself.

There are things that are born with black because the world needs the power of “darkness” that dwells in itself.

Attempting to eliminate only the power of one attribute would have a negative effect on the equilibrium of the world.

Stop being stupid.

Only a very small number of spiritual users could talk to the spirits (it seems that Aida is exceptional).

Still, the spiritual users were heavily used because they could use the spiritual magic of power alongside the superior wizards.

So the spiritual users repeated themselves in their nations of service, and preached the word of the Spirit.

Few, however, listened to their words warning of the dangers of this disturbance, neither in the Kingdom of Iguzekus nor in the Principality of Sarelood.

The Spirit and the Spirit Users were disappointed, and left the kingdom protecting those who were persecuted.

And after this, the spirits ceased to covenant with man, and when all the spiritual users of the time died, the human spiritual users ceased.

Meanwhile, the beasts and the ancient dragons of the Van Grey Empire in the north sometimes had an inviolability pact, watching it chilly without intervening in disturbances.

However, some ancient dragons were asked by the spirits to accept and defend the spiritual users who had fled (some of the human ministers of the Van Grey Empire say that they were thus descendants of the humans who had fled).

The Kingdom of Iguzeks and the Principality of Sarelaud had been swallowed up by the commotion for some time, but when nothing reminiscent of the "night" was left from the country, some peace was restored.

But now there are more demons breaking into the continent, and there will be a situation where no one returns what went for reconnaissance to the northern demon continent, and the resurrection of the demon king will be rumored.

The king of the kingdom of Iguzekus ordered the clergyman to summon a second brave man.

That's how the second generation of brave men showed up was the brunette, black-eyed young man.

(I was wondering if you might be from your hometown, and I asked you for your name, "Tenma Sight U". Is it because you feel Japanese, and contemporary?

It is precisely the bearer of the colour that was the subject of the 'night hunt'.

The clerics were confused, and controversy arose as to whether he should be recognized as a brave man or not.

but more than that, the young man summoned as a brave man was suddenly caught up in the circumstances of this world saying, "Are you kidding me!" And he was furious (well - I'd be furious).

It seems that the first brave men accepted it from the beginning (on second thought, this one is more mysterious), and the humans were increasingly confused by the unexpected situation of being refused to be brave by the person they summoned.

With that gap of confusion, those who support the youth as the brave men chosen by the Goddess of Light guide him to the [Fountain of Awakening].

Awaken the power of light held by the youth.

said the supporters who saw it.

You are definitely the brave one because you have such a strong power of light.

Find the weapons that the Goddess of Light gave to the first brave men and fight to defeat the Demon King.

The young man said, "Do it with your hands!" and flew out of the kingdom of Igzex (a situation that seemed likely to be assassinated by extremists who denied him if they were false).

And I perceived that the humans were about to summon the brave men again, and met and protected the Van Grey Empire's secret detectives who were here to see how things were going.

The Beast Man and the Ancient Dragon generously protected the enraged youth in the Van Grey Empire, sending messengers over and over to the kingdom of Iguzeks that they should be protected from the hands of the humans who "return the brave" and returned to the original world, without asking for their duties as brave men or anything else.

However, both the Kingdom of Iguzekus and the Principality of Surrell Ode continue to argue over whether or not they should recognize the brave man with dark hair and dark eyes, and they cannot speak properly.

Because beastmen and ancient dragons didn't know the art of crossing the world, and had long set themselves apart from the goddess of light, they couldn't help but look into it.

As time passes, the young man summoned as a brave man also regains his calm and becomes determined to defeat the Demon King for the beasts and the ancient dragons who protected him.

The Beast Man and the Ancient Dragon stopped him from having to do that, but his will to "you are thankful," accompanied by the friendly Dragon Man and the Beast Man, embarked on a journey in search of weapons for the Sky Series.

Apparently, the 'Star Reading Witch' helped him considerably on that journey, and the youth gather their weapons well to increase their companionship, as well as their covenant with the Spirit, which humans in this world can no longer do.

But one unexpected thing happened.

When I was fully equipped with all the weapons in the Sky Series, the "Second Awakening" happened and the color of the youth's hair and eyes changed to golden (the first brave men were golden from the beginning, so they didn't happen).

"My hair and eyes aren't these colors!" and once again furiously hunted the neighborhood demons (eight wins?) True to the contrary with youth, contemporary brave supporters say, "After all, he is the brave man of light!," he rejoiced, and the denial extremists were put at a disadvantage.

The moves of the brave supporters who seized the opportunity were swift, leaving the king of the kingdom of Iguzekus at the time and the Grand Duke of the Principality of Sarelood to succeed those who supported the brave.

The supporters, who thus took power at once, captured the people of the 'Night Hunt', a heap of denial extremists, who "arr different because they were formerly black," and executed the influential big man.

The long-standing 'night hunting' commotion closed the curtain.

I was convinced that it was for this reason that Adelaide said, "The second generation of brave men were more fought for the beasts and the ancient dragons".

Nevertheless, the second generation of brave men struggle under different circumstances than the first.

In the meantime, I'm glad Heavenly Sound wasn't summoned second -.

"... that?" Night Hunt "was captured and executed, wasn't it? So now, no more problems?

"Apparently not. Behind it, he is still kept as a heretical inquisitor in the temple.

Oh, uh...

Transfer from "Night Hunt" to "Divergent Inquisitor" (Job Change).

The contents seem almost intact.

So there's still no one in the kingdom of Iguzex with black colors?

But if there's a danger with the color black, it seems like someone could say something to me, like when I lived in the royal castle, or regrouza when I unlocked the magic of the phantom and showed it to you.

Did they not know about the 'night hunt'?

"Speaking of which, since when does The Black Tower come out?

"It should be awhile after 'Night Hunting' started, but I don't know exactly when they created those organizations.

"Black Tower" seems to be an organization created by those who have become the target of "Night Hunting" and have managed to survive.

However, the Black Tower begins to move in a more suspicious direction, as there were many wizard scuffs chased because of the evil magic that was said to be "evil magic that no one should use" or because they had a forbidden book describing such magic.

We are being chased for lack of strength.

Sooner or later, we will give sanction by absolute force to the fools who stand up for justice by numbers!

It is the birth of a fine extremist underground organization.

"The Temple doesn't seem to want to keep the 'Night Hunter' guys forever either, but it looks like they can let it go as something to make them fight the leaping 'Black Tower'.

"Now, then, the temple's heretic inquisitor and the battle of the 'Black Tower'?

"It's just a tentative appearance, such as a heretical inquisitor. They are still fanatics of The Night Hunt.

"Yes, sir. Can I say" Night Hunt "vs." Black Tower "Battle?

Eyre nodded with a carefree face.

"The summons of the second generation of brave men was about two thousand years ago.

The disturbances themselves have sedated a long time ago and now both are down in number. I wouldn't run into you if you were just living a normal life, and perhaps the memories of humans are a lot blurred.

"Night Hunting" is a dark part of history for humans, a past they want to forget if possible.

There is a pretence that both the Kingdom of Iguzekus and the Principality of Sarelaud manipulated information so that sometimes people's memories weathered and disappeared.

If you glance at the folks from "Night Hunt" and "Black Tower," such as people who now know that has happened, the more you have to count.

Then I guess I didn't even know Regrouza.

"Have you forgotten the Beast Man or the Dragon Man, too?

"As we hear about the second generation of brave men, we've been told that humans have come up with stupid things again, and now they've persecuted the brave men they've summoned.

The beasts and dragon men are originally wary of what humans do, but not so much interested.

Neither would I have known if I hadn't heard that Van Lauren had been associated with the men of the Black Tower and looked into it.

The time of two thousand years is long in the carpet, even for beasts and dragon men who have a longer life than humans.

Van Lauren is the name of the Second Prince of the Van Grey Empire, Eyre's half-brother.

Thirty years ago, he took Adelaide's mother, the "Star Reading Witch," Luchery, and tried to kill her.

"Speaking of which, its second prince. Were you not guilty of taking Adelaide's mother and trying to kill her?

"That's cunning. Everyone thinks it was the Fifth Prince who was so obsessed with the" Star Reading Witch "that he reached out illegally.

In fact, it was the Fifth Prince who was punished and executed in that matter.

Execution, was he killed?

That's true, you must be a scoundrel.

As I rounded my eyes to say it was radical, Eyre told me that it was the prince who did it and that it was a lot of madness that the target was a 'star reading witch'.

"Star Reading Witch" seems to be quite amazing to have to be treated politely.

"So the second prince dressed his brother in wet clothes knowing he was going to be sentenced to death?

"The second prince and the fifth prince have different mothers. There must have been no family relationship like you think.

Besides, it probably doesn't mean complete wet clothes. The Fifth Prince did obsess with Luchery and locked him in his own mansion.

But it was Van Lauren who was about to kill Luchery when I stepped in there.

Perhaps Van Lauren used the Fifth Prince's obsession with Luchery to make himself exposed to get her.

But when we stepped in and regained Luchery, we decided that it had been. And while I was fleeing the land, I reported to the Emperor that everything was the sin of the Fifth Prince, and made him punish.

"Didn't the Emperor spot what the Second Prince did?

"... it is difficult to understand His Majesty's thoughts. But it must have been true that the Fifth Prince had sinned. As a result, His Majesty was ordered to execute the Fifth Prince.

"Eyre didn't say anything?

"Me and Gawayne were the only ones who stepped in where the Second Prince nearly killed The Star Reading Witch.

"Is Gawayne Adelaide's father?

Uh...

"The Star Reading Witch" and the Dragon Knight, they left the country together, didn't they?

You mean you couldn't pursue it because there's only Eyre left to testify about the Second Prince's sins?

"That's right. Moreover, by the time I returned, the evidence of Van Lauren's involvement had already been erased. All that remained was evidence that the Fifth Prince had taken Luchery and locked him up and was trying to force him to defile himself.

But you're pulling back with that?

When I looked at my dissatisfied face, Eyre laughed bitterly.

"I don't want you to look like that.

"I can't help it. Because I don't like that.

It would be easier if you settled for Grandpa the White Beard, who plays country comics, and the General on the White Horse's coming out epoch play.

"Right. I'm not convinced about that either.

Well, before I got my hands on it, my sister, who was connected to Luchery, was retaliating by turning her hand around from behind. Van Lauren, too, must have suffered quite a blow.

"Heh. You have a sister?

When asked, Eyre took a deep sigh of relief as to why, and nodded with a distant eye.

"Yes. It's my sister. Besides, it was supposed to come from the same father and mother..."

"Doesn't it look like Eyre?

"Tell me if there's anything you think is similar. Fix it."

"No... Because I've never met him. I don't know, do I?

"... you did. Sorry."

He seems to be some kind of intense one.

It wasn't the same atmosphere we talked about in detail, so I went back to it.

"So in the end, the Second Prince was not publicly punished?

"Oh... If me and Van Lauren hit from the front in a public place, it could cause civil unrest. Sometimes it had already been settled that the Fifth Prince would be executed, and it could not be pursued in a stand out manner.

"The two princes just bumped into each other, and it's going to be such a immediate civil unrest?

Eal.

You still don't know that either, don't look at it with a warm eye, tell me.

I don't know anything.

"Only dragon men with“ first-source fire ”are determined to succeed the empire of the Van Grey Empire.

“First Source Fire” is a force that is only visible to dragon men who inherit the blood of ancient dragons in a particularly thick way.

And now, only two princes with “first-source fire” are me and Van Lauren.

In other words, our contention could provoke civil unrest involving our respective supporters as a confrontation between two princes with the right to inherit the throne.

... yeah.

I had a feeling about that.

But let me get this straight, you're just gonna get laid.

I told one of the vortexes who is currently fighting for power in a progressive fashion that I would cooperate.

Well, I just promised to help unseal it, and I'm not going to wind up in a power struggle.

I'm not talking about something that's gonna get any more and more troublesome.

"Eel. Want another cup of tea?

I don't care if you make a scene.

In the meantime, I decided to take a dose, and Eyre offered me an empty cup of "please".
