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

Episode 52: A Midnight Walk. 」

Day 29 of the Other World

Before dawn, Wong! and was woken up by Jack playing the trio with a sounding voice.

I grasp the space in the house while I blur on the couch, make sure no one is there, and yawn "kuaah".

And I fell asleep and I said, "Where did you go? Turning his consciousness to" Darkness, "he was surprised to notice that Jack, who had sat down a bit, waved his tail and sent an image of" Osama ".

What? The impact of a contract?

It's a blurry image, but between Jack and me, they're able to interact even when they're away (telepathic extra?).

[Ambrose] didn't say that, but the author felt so broken.

There is no wonder, even if there is a little bit of lack of explanation.

In the meantime, I had several image interactions and understood that "osampo" was the hope of "wanting to run on the ground".

Then let's go during the night, less dangerous for people to find.

"Spatial Transfer (Teleport)"

With the blanket on, go out by the river that flows through the forests of Lausandola, around the unsealed area of Eyre.

Connecting his consciousness with “Darkness," he grasped the surrounding space, making sure there were no people nearby, and called Jack "Come".

Send out the triple-headed dog (Cerberus) flying out onto the ground with hidden magic.

It was as fast as the wind when Jack, who had a big body, ran, but no matter how far away he was, he would not lose his position thanks to the contract, so he can rest assured.

Jack, who belonged to "Darkness”, ran upstream along the river without any trouble in sight, even at midnight.

I wrapped myself around a blanket and sat on a nearby stone, without saying to my voice, "If you turn your body down, can you run in the woods, too?" I asked.

Jack returns the image of "Gyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, no".

I can get smaller, but I don't like it because it's cramped.

Hmm. Do you mind if I get used to it?

Jack had been running for a while as it was, but suddenly he flipped his body direction and came back at great speed.

He gets up and greets him, tilting his neck as the image of "old man" comes along as he unravels the magic of concealment.

Your father? What, who?

The kid in the middle keeps his nose tip close, so okay. I stroke him, and the moment I touched him, the telepathy came.

"Rio, is something wrong?

Eal.

Seems like he sensed Jack running around where it wasn't Wang Du and asked how something was going.

I replied that I was just here for Jack's walk, tilting my neck and listening back.

"Why is Jack's father Eyre?

"Jack was born out of your“ darkness ”and my fire. Even if I say Father, it is not strange.

... it's not weird, is it?

Eyre seems happy that Jack thought he was your father, but he was becoming your mother before he knew it. I feel subtle.

I didn't think you'd be a mother at seventeen.... or it didn't hurt my stomach, so I don't really feel it.

Now that I've signed a contract, I'm more like a partner than a parent or a child.

and. Set that aside.

"Eel, is your sister a jerk?

When I asked, I was told that I now have some time and that there was something I needed to talk to you about that was just fine.

I ask Jack to sit on my side and bury me in a plugged fur, which is also on my stomach.

Then I put some hidden magic on myself and Jack and listened to them muddy.

Eyre managed to make it to her sister's crisis and in return for being targeted by radical Van Lauren supporters, the brothers and sisters were able to reunite safely.

Meanwhile, Second Prince Van Lauren said he somehow caused trouble with the wizard of the 'Black Tower' after capturing Eyre's figure, and now he's missing (Van Lauren supporters with no more tops feel confused and rampant).

But.

In the Van Grey Empire, the emperor's next most powerful senate was moving to give precedence to the "abduction of the Third Princess" that took place behind it over the "abduction of the Seventh Prince" or "disappearance of the Second Prince".

By the way, "What about the Emperor? When I asked," I've been dormant for two years now, and I'm still on a good break.

He says it's a regular necessity for dragon men (dragoons) who are over two hundred years old, and it seems there is a personal difference in how often they will be dormant and how many years they will sleep, but in the case of the current emperor, they probably won't wake up for another three years.

In other words, it is the Senate that currently governs the Van Grey Empire.

Why is that senate giving priority to the kidnapping of the Third Princess over the disappearance of the princes with the right to inherit the throne?

Even when asked, the Senate did not reveal the reason, and the Third Empress, who was born and raised in the outhouse, said that she had never been on the table because she was sick or weak, and had little information.

But I can't think of her as just a sickly princess than the Senate moves with that much emphasis.

Besides, according to information gathered by Eyre's sister, the kidnapping of the Third Princess involves the wizard of the 'Black Tower' connected to Van Lauren.

"It was' Princess Tsu 'Rosary and his disciples who captured me.

The Third Empress's kidnapping seemed to have been accompanied by a "puppet master" savage.

"Princess Tsu" and "Puppet Master" are two of the four top executives of "Black Tower".

If these two were in tandem, it is likely that it was the action of the commander-in-chief (top) of The Black Tower, and it is also possible that the other two are moving.

but I haven't gotten much information about them.

"The most informative so far is Princess Tsu.

He followed his disciple who had taken me to the 'mercenary guild' of Lausandola, and disappeared with his disciple.

The moment I heard the word, my blood drew from my whole body.

"Princess Tsu" is likely to follow Eyre and the mercenary who captured his apprentice.

I mean, I ran, so Regrouza's in danger.

Shit. I wasn't thinking that far...!

"The disciple was found murdered in the rubble of the [Hall of the Necromancer (Leis)].

"Mercenary Guild" is following the whereabouts in conjunction with the "Magic Society" as "Princess Tsu" is likely still in the Kingdom of Iguzekus.

At the same time, the mercenary who captured the apprentice of "Princess Tsu," he doesn't know where the "Divine Spear" is and is looking for it.

'Mercenary Guild' hasn't found Regrouza yet.

Eyre asked me if I couldn't move like my hands and feet were frozen.

"Rio. Were your men 'godspears'?

"... yeah.

I've caused you a lot of trouble. To give you away, I've run away.

I'm afraid to know how he sees me manipulating the Darkness.

I briefly explained the journey to the [Hall of the Necromancer] with Regrouza.

I didn't know it was supposed to be just a ghost exorcism, but it's so important that it involves regrouza.

I accidentally spilled a deep sigh while talking, but not if I regret relaxing.

Before "Princess Tsu," we have to find Regrouza somehow.

But there's only three days left for Heavenly Sound to travel, and how do I move it?

I was in a hurry, and Eyre said "calm" in a gentle tone.

"I also know rumors about the 'Divine Spear'. In the kingdom of Igzex, where there are few beasts, he who does not become a figure of man, should stand out.

I guess the fact that it hasn't been found yet deliberately hides itself.

If you want to find him, I think Adelaide would be a good idea.

When I told him that neither Adelaide nor Bardeaux had yet returned, I answered "Well," and the words of Eyre broke off so that I could think of something.

Regluza is intentionally hiding herself.

Why? Why?

In the midnight tranquility, my thoughts roll in the worst direction.

Unbeknownst, to destroy what belongs to the Dark?

An image of Jack's low vibration and vigilance is conveyed to my body with my eyelids closed.

Oh. I'm sorry I upset you.

Daijibu.

I took a deep breath to calm my thoughts as I stroked Jack's furrows.

"Rio. Was your met 'Divine Spear' of such short circuit quality?

I didn't mean to tell him telepathically, but, like Jack, Eyre read my thoughts, too.

When she asked lightly and replied, "That's not true," she said as if she knew from the beginning that she would.

What do you mean?

"I have never met in person with a man called 'The Spear of God'.

But I've challenged a man who was mentored by 'Divine Spear'.

"Regrouza's, Master?

"Oh. It was a long time ago. Come across him where he was visiting my land.

He was a quiet man, laughing a lot calmly for SS (double es) mercenaries, the highest ranking in the "Mercenary Guild".

Still young, I dazzled him from the outside and challenged him to battle with the intention of pairing him gently.

What are you doing, Prince?

"So, what happened?

"I was played well and furious with you, I was brilliantly returned trying to squash you by force.

Ooh. SS is strong.

Eyre seems to have lost convincingly or liked the other guy.

Telepathy, which talks about the person who died more than a decade ago, was favorable, warm and seemed to miss me somewhere.

"His two names are" Watermoon ".

A rare man, born between the mother of the beast man and the father of man, and when he grew up, he lost his power as a beast man.

However, by not adhering to the lost power, but by looking at the power he possessed, he was recognized as a mercenary worthy of the SS that the 'Mercenary Guild' gave only three people in the world.

If you were raised by that man, I don't think you would think so short-circuited as to be hostile just because you are a genus of "darkness," even though you were born to a human being, "God Spear".

... 'Divine Spear' born to man?

He's not an animal, is he?

He said that Regluza's qualities were famous, and he said, "Perhaps I shouldn't say it from my mouth, but you should know," Eyre briefly explained.

If there is a child between man and beast man, the child's race will be the same as the mother's.

That does not change for generations, it is normal for human mothers to have human children and beastly mothers to have beastly children.

But there is an exception to everything, and Regluza was born as a human being between a couple of humans, but when he grew up, he expressed the power of a tiger beastman (he had a tiger beastman in his ancestors, and he inherited it in isolation?).

And he becomes a disciple of the mercenary "Mizuki," who was born into the Beast Man and lost his power, and when he grows up, he becomes a mercenary himself.

He is stronger than a normal beast man because he was born peculiar, and he is sure of his arms trained by the highest ranked mercenaries.

In doing all the work of the "Mercenary Guild" with that power, he was recognized as a mercenary of the Beast, and his name became known.

But even now, we are not allowed to go inside the tiger beast man.

As I listened, I was thinking about a lot of things.

You know you don't like being discriminated against, but you were looking like a beast because of those raw guys?

When he asked me if I was scared, he said, "Power is, it's just power." How did he learn that word?

The more I thought about it, the more pitiful I was that I ran away, and my heart sank.

Worried about me getting depressed, Jack leans over me with a low throat.

Thank you. You're a sweet girl.

Eyre waited for me to calm down and continued with the words.

"As I said earlier, Rio. If you're worried about the 'Divine Spear' body, you should ask Adelaide to take possession of your whereabouts.

But first, think about protecting yourself.

I don't know what Princess Tsu heard from her disciple, but now that you've defeated that man and saved me, you're the one most likely to be targeted.

Oh. Speaking of which, yeah.

If Princess Tsu had asked me exactly what was going on with her apprentice, I'd be the first to find her.

... something, a bad feeling.

If you're just looking for us after Eyre, if you know Eyre's back in the country, I don't think you're going after him any more than you need to.

"Rosalie" by the name of "Princess Ts" is the same thing as the daughter of Ward, the author of the [Hall of the Necromancer], the [Book of Amber].

If she were the same person, I feel pursued for more than that, because she half-killed her apprentice and took Eyre away.

Oh, uh...

I just talked to him that far, and he said the senate use came to get Eyre.

With the words "I'm sorry, but I'll talk to you later," the telepathy is over.

It's midnight, but you seem busy.

A prince is a lot.

I asked Jack when he was getting bored when he stopped hearing his father and went back to Bardeaux's house.

I can't stand in Adelaide's way, so I'm waiting quietly now.

When I have time, I'll tell you about Regrouza and get him to divine his whereabouts and talk to you about which is more dangerous, Heavenly Sound or him.

but. It doesn't look like the two of you are back, and no one is coming even if you wait.

I asked Jack, who was yawning in the dark, to be about the size of a big dog.

She didn't like it when she turned her body down, but when she had her big dog size come out to the back room and brush, she really liked this.

As he brushed against the hairline on his back, Jack laid on the floor with a hony-face.

... I see it on the Midwinter News, it looks like a monkey caught in a hot spring.

No, I'm sorry. That's how defenseless and pleasant it sounds, right?

When they do that, it's rewarding.

I brushed for a while to apologize for interrupting my walk, around dawn, tired and went to bed again.
