Episode 78: "New Contracts and Considerations. 」

Day 42 of the Other World

Travel on the White Dragon in the morning and descend to the ground around lunch.

Regluza was eating dinner and the dragon was flying so fast that it was unnaturally fast, he said.

"I think it would be a good thing if we could move fast. But why did it suddenly go faster?

"I don't know exactly, but the White Dragon is an attribute of the wind. To be close to the sanctuary where the great spirits of the wind are, they may be affected.

"The Great Spirit of the Wind. Speaking of which, Legruza lent it to me [white talisman" White Amulet "]. In that [Wind Spirit Stone], the Wind Spirit was asleep, right?

I remember, and when I took the necklace out from under my clothes, the [Spirit Stone of the Wind], which was fitted into the complex workmanship, was shining harder than usual.

I don't know for sure, but as Regrouza put it, the influence of the Great Spirit of the Wind may be getting this far.

When you finish your meal, beard the map and confirm your current location.

I was a lot closer to [Valley of the Winds] and they told me I was going to get there tomorrow, so I decided it was time to talk, and I called out.

"Regrouza. I have a little long story to tell you, okay?

"From now on, here?

"Yeah," he nods to the question, "do we bother to talk at noon when we can still travel by the creek that flows through the meadows off the streets?

It's a story that no one else wants to hear, so the current location where you can get off the street and look around is a great place, and I think it's going to be a long story, so you better have some time to spare.

"Before we get to [Wind Valley], I want to talk about it, including what we're going to do.

"I see. Again, you didn't mean to just let me see how it went.

It seems that my words were within my expectations, and Regrouza rather responds, "Let me hear it" in a convincing manner.

When I cleared the map and had some tea and calmed my hips, I started talking about the bump.

"Before, I said that I was just here caught up in the heavenly noise being summoned, but, uh, I think I made a mistake.

The truth is, it was me who was on edge with the world over here.

I was not sure if I would tell them all or just part of it, but when I decided to make it whole if I was going to talk anyway, I could talk less nervously.

Regrouza didn't seem to know much about mythology or the 'night hunting' commotion, so we shared what we also knew about it.

Of course, what I know is always right, there is no such thing as certainty.

So judging for himself, Regrouza nodded silently and was thorough with the listener.

That's how the story lasted until evening, but I managed to end it before sundown.

(On the way, a few demons attacked me, but the white dragon that was nearby blew me off with a tail and repelled me.

Having finished hearing everything, Regrouza sighed deeply before saying after a while of silence.

"Rio. I don't think you're lying, but I'm not young enough to understand and believe all that talk right now, and I'm not pure.

"Yeah. I take that for granted. In the meantime, thank you for not telling me it would be a lie.

If you're in the original world, they'll send you to the hospital fast, or they'll say, "Hey, is your head okay? You'll see with your eyes, it's a reality story.

"No," Regrouza shook her head beside her, seriously thanking her.

"I once saw you manipulate the black flames freely. Besides, I don't even think you can make a profit from lying like this.

So I decided it wouldn't be a lie, that's all.

But nevertheless... "

Regrouza told him to do so in a low voice.

"Do you live in God?

And it is observed still with the kind of eyes that see something very rare.

I said as I was feeling so restless.

"If words alone are hard to believe, shall I invite you to the“ dark ”world?

I haven't used it because Sarrell says, "Don't use too much of the power of" darkness, "but if you want to, you can close this place to“ darkness ”right now, or you can sink Regluza into“ darkness. "

Without a spell, without moving one finger.

Regrouza seemed intrigued by the words that made her feel kind of threatening and complaining, and responded, "Try me."

I first did the magic of hiding myself and Regrouza, and then I called out, "Do it," and filled its interior with "darkness."

Suddenly swallowed by darkness without a single light, Regluza faintly tensioned her body, carefully exploring what was going on around her before calling me.

"Rio? Are you there?

"I'm here.

"You see me?

"I can see it all. The“ darkness ”in tune is my realm (territory), so I can see Regluza shaking her tail all the time.

Regluza says a word in a low voice, "Put me back" when she stops the tail movement perfectly.

When I turned off the "darkness” and solved the hidden magic, I said it looked grumpy, or as if I was thinking of something.

"Sure, that place looks like your realm. I didn't hear anything, I didn't see my own hands, I couldn't catch your signs.

I don't know if there's a problem with my senses, or if it's the way the place works, or if it's because you were totally into "darkness."

I don't know how Regrouza felt about it.

Looking up at the calm blue eyes and waiting for the next word, Regrouza stood up and said, "You'll be tired of talking for a long time, we'll see about that later," and went hunting for dinner.

I was left alone, and I said, "What kind of reaction does that make now?" and troubled.

but there's no answer or anything like that, and, um, when I'm at it, I rarely say to Jack, who woke up before sundown, "Oh, my God, are you naughty? Did you?" She asked and was cheek-slipped.

What a lovely creature!

I accidentally forgot the situation and said, "Jacques!" and cuddled by the warcraft of the three necks, he buried himself in mundane furrows.

When I was playing with my obsession as it was, Regrouza, who had grabbed my big prey back at some point, told me, "You're a nerve-free guy".

"It's hard for me to believe that you still live in God.

"Mmm. I'm not asking you to believe me right away, but maybe I made the wrong choice of time.

Should I have talked to you after sundown and dark?

"If it was you talking, the results wouldn't be the same.

... you say kekoosuba, right, regrouza?

We just had a strange conversation, but the sun went down as we had dinner with Regrouza, strangely the same as usual, and cleaned up after.

My hand was empty, so Regrouza said from across the bonfire as I brushed Jack's furrows that I wasn't going for a walk today.

"Rio, you haven't asked me why you revealed that story to me.

"Yeah," he nodded as he brushed.

"In the meantime, because it was first to see if you could accept that story.

"I don't believe in everything, but I understood one thing. So?"

"Simply put, what I'd like to ask for is a contract renewal.

"The deal was to help you find a way back to the original world while guiding you to get used to the world.

You want to change something?

"I mean, it's going to be an addition.

Because it seems that if I am cleansed and eaten by "darkness” many times, eventually the Demon King will come back to life and vandalize the area around it. If you're going to accompany me, I need you to be aware of the dangers involved.

"I've always understood that I'm in danger of accompanying you, but let me know if you know the details. What time is it that you get the most emotional shake?

"Hmm? What time is it?

I think it would be beautiful if the heavenly noise touched my hideous eyes, but there's something else...

Because they're so sweet and planted on women, children and old people, they might come across it again like it was [Necromancer's Hall].

Of course, if “darkness” eats me, I'll die too, so I'll try not to freak out.

"... Rio. You knew the word" effort, "too.

"You don't have to call it such a smudge. I mean, I didn't think there'd be a scratch in there, Regrouza.

Stopping her hand from brushing accidentally and giving her a face, Regrouza listened and said.

"For your own sake and for your surroundings, strive for your life.

However, emotional control is something that we naturally acquire over time as we gain a variety of experiences. I guess it won't be that easy.

"So what am I supposed to do?

"First of all, don't run alone. Don't move with impulses or reflexes. Stop a step first.

If I'm around, I can't help it, but if something goes wrong, I can listen to you and think of a response, and I can temporarily stun you before your anger dominates me.

And secondly, stay away from dangerous places. If you say you are vulnerable to women, children and the elderly, you must be particularly careful throughout the city.

As I was rounding my eyes to the precautions I would be told, I was told, "You might want to stay out of the inn room when you enter the city," so I barely returned "I don't think it's a good idea to overdo it".

And at some point, a much derailed conversation returns to the story about the contract.

"Regrouza. If you will continue to come with me, knowing that it is dangerous to accompany me, I want to make good decisions about the rewards of the contract.

Because I think you're demanding more than protecting Lar Arc.

"The consideration for the contract... Before I do, I ask you one thing, could you have told me this story?

"Hmm. When people ask me if it's good or bad, I have trouble answering.

If you want me to go with you in the future, I can't help but say nothing, and I thought Regrouza would think and judge you properly after listening calmly.

I answered with a grunt thought, then I had trouble worrying, laughing and saying to.

"Regrouza, please. Come with me and continue to be an advisor?

The reward is, if it's not enough by hand, I'll make it somehow. With me, in addition to what I just told you, you might see behind the scenes of this world.

"What an obnoxious invitation complaint.

Regrouza laughed, sounding funny, and nodded.

"Fine, Rio. Agree to renew the contract.

But the reward is not money, so let me decide.

"A reward that's not money? But did I have something that I think Regrouza would want?

With his neck clenched, Regrouza replied, "It's a book of magic."

"Your three magical guides, [the bloody guidebook Bloody Grimoire] and [the Black Bible (Noir Bible)] and [the Amber Book (Ambroid)].

I want you to leave this to my will.

"Of the Book of Magic, disposition?

"I'd like all three books to be discarded immediately, but it's better after they've been appraised by the Professor (Professor). Until I do, don't give in to anyone, don't show them, and don't take them out on the table.

... Hmm. I'll ask you one more time, Rio. Is it possible to destroy a restraining order?

"I never thought about it, but I guess, I can. Because the power of" darkness ”is stronger than magic.

"Right.... Somehow, I think I'm getting used to being surprised by your words.

"That's good. So, the reward for the new contract is just three magic books?

Even if I dispose of the Apocalypse, the contents will remain in my head.

"I don't think I can do anything about what's in people's heads. It's enough that I can dispose of three magic books marked with a curse.

Are you sure you want to dispose of the Magic Book?

"I won't. All three books of the Magic Book remain thrown into subspace, and I don't have any trouble losing them.

... hmm? Speaking of which, if I die, what happens to the subspace I'm using for the warehouse?

Based on the composition of the spell, it's the starting point for space. It's like when I disappear, the field can't be maintained, and the space will either disappear, or the only thing that disappears and throws in is going to come out of this world.

I don't know much about magic, so the question remains a question.

Regrouza returned to the conversation.

"Your desire is to guide this world and to find an advisor along with you how to return.

The price I seek is three magic books.

"Ready?" She nodded, "Yeah."

"That's a contract. Want to go through the Mercenary Alliance and make a contract?

"No, you won't have to go through the guild. I can't tell him you're the owner of a forbidden book.

Besides, the general's attitude toward you is something that caught...

Now to see how things are going, you should keep your distance from the 'Mercenary Guild'.

Much more cautiously, I asked him what was wrong.

"Speaking of which, why was Legruza called by the General Director?

"We talked about the death of one SS (Double Es) mercenary, so someone from Rank S will be up in the vacant seat, but perhaps the main point of the Director General is the chatter. He seemed to want to know a little more about who you were.

"Huh? Legruza, are you going to be promoted?

"No, I'm not going up. There are four powerful candidates. Probably one of them.

Besides, the Director General also told me why I shouldn't put a female escort on you.

"An escort? That probably means you want to put on a watch to report my trends to the Mercenary Guild, right?

"Well, I don't know that far. It's not something I should judge, he says. Sooner or later, the Director General or someone might say something directly to you.

Hmm? And I snapped my neck, but I flushed, "Well, no."

What we need is one to guide and advise this world, and now that Regrouza has taken it on for us, we don't need any more of them.

Whatever it is, a new contract is in place.

Thank you for your continued support.

I was relieved and asked what bothered me in the conversation earlier.

"Speaking of which, who's the 'professor' who wants you to appraise the Apocalypse?

"Oh. You hadn't mentioned your name yet.

"Professor" Anthem.

I told him I was in the Principality of Surrell Ode, a former human wizard. He is also familiar with the curse.

You're a free man who's not human, and you're familiar with the curse ban. "Professor"?

"The more you ask, the more you're alone.

"I think you're no less obnoxious than you are.

Ugh, he nodded and pressed his chest, falling into Jack's furrows.

"Regrouza, really, you say zuba..."

I snapped around laughing bitterly and turned to roll up.

"What's going on?," he answers to Jack looking down, "It's nothing," stroking the hairline of his neck, and looking at countless stars in the sky.

As it was, I talked to Regrouza for a while, and then I slept wrapped around a blanket.
