Next Life

Five stories: "Everyone's up to something the same."

The men were walking without making a single sound.

It stops once it comes to the royal palace of the target Fillato.

The wall was only a few meters high, something that even amateurs there would likely climb if they worked hard, but the men who were professionals were raising tension.

Says, there is a legacy of the brave.

Says he turns it into a maze for intruders.

Says, once you break in, no arm-writer returns.

Because it's a place with all sorts of rumors, say, etc.

And the client had been asked that it was true that no one had broken in and returned.

"That's why I chose you. You've never failed a request."

The men were not so simple as to delight in the obvious and visible rhetoric of a high-profile client.

But we had the temper to succeed on our own in a mission that no one had succeeded in the past.

And that became the life of the team Shadow Owl.

They split into four groups and get over the wall.

There were shadows dotted on the property, and I saw that it would probably be a close guard.

He killed a distorted sound in the darkness and broke into the interior of the royal palace through the vigilance of the soldiers.

Instead, it was easy enough to clap it out, stirring vigilance.

Anyone with this kind of plaything, training, should be able to do it, and still I guess the reason no one can come home is not in the garden, but inside the royal palace.

It is not uncommon for a trap to be set inside a building, but it is unusual that there is nothing outside.

What do the royalties in this country think of the deterrent effect of intimidation?

If you show weakness, it should be common among nations to be attacked by songs, and I guess that's why you've stepped through the hiring of this target, the national guest magician.

As for the low walls, it's a long time ago, so it's not simply a financial difficulty.

Is that all you have confidence in the internal line of defense?

The men snuck in through the window while turning this thought around.

The moment I stepped on a floor made of marble, the air around me shivered. The scenery changed.

(hey what!?)

Stunning, yet professionally conscious, sealed the word.

I should have been inside the royal palace until earlier, but now I was in a grey brick making room.

Even if I didn't realize it was a forcible transfer due to a trap-based magic item, I could understand that it was embedded in a trap.

Contains agitation and looks around carefully.

It is surrounded by seemingly sturdy grey bricks with no windows, lamps on the left and right walls illuminating the faces covered with men's black cloths.

Although the word dungeon crossed the back of the same brain, I take out the knife and look at the door.

Defeat someone who would come in sooner or later and take them hostage and escape, I was going to.

Until intense drowsiness strikes me suddenly.

(hey... there's a trap item in this room too...)

Your body, which should be trained to withstand all state anomaly attacks, shakes instantly.

I had already let go of consciousness when I realized that I could stand it even for a moment because I was trained.

Thus the assassination team, said to be one of the best in the society behind Filato, was wiped out without being able to do anything.

Then a while later, the three wizards showed up after confirming that it was not a disguise that made them comatose.

One remained in Lucas. The two were his men's court magicians and those in charge of the Royal Palace defense using the power of magic items.

Remove the yellow three-day moon-shaped stone from the nostalgia.

This is the finest magic item, called "Tears of the Moon Goddess" and has the same effect as the first-degree spiritual magic "Psychometry".

With this, we can extract the information we want to know without even having to interrogate or torture.

It is the legacy of the first Bernhardt and Klaus-Adler in conjunction with the "Skin of the Snow Goddess", the forced transfer item "Hole of the Divine Hidden" and the forced coma item "Voice of the Wind God", which are deployed throughout the royal palace.

Four other items were used to seal the Demon King Zagan, it is said.

When you let "Tears of the Moon Goddess" touch the body of one of the men, the stone shines out to show Lucas the memory of the man.

(The name of the organization is "Black Snake"... the aim is Marius-Tuban... the client was in his forties wearing a black hat... the identity is unknown...)

I also found out the real name of the man and his past, but it's not what I need right now.

I didn't even have the information I wanted to stone the others to look into it.

Pulling all the information out, I stabbed everyone in the todome.

The intruder will never be kept alive.

"Did you want to kill Lord Marius or piss him off? Or did you just want to check the Royal Palace's defenses?

No one answered Lucas' inquiry.

"You failed, you useless bastards!

The new chief of intelligence, Bernard Von Cooper, slammed the glass to the floor furiously.

The new general who saw it, Ashton von Barros, told him to throw it away.

"That's why I disagreed. The guardian of the royal palace said that there was an incomprehensible steadfastness. I hope my strategy will be okay, so I don't expect it to fail like this."

Two magnificent men, also to be called heavy towns of the country, exchanged unfriendly gazes.

"If you knew why, you wouldn't fail."

Ashton replied angrily to the abominably sarcastic Bernard.

"I would have just said four or five people, including the king, who know who they are. The king is righteous, and he believes in nobles inferior to our first-class nobles."

"That's as lamentable as it gets. Our fathers came to us and told us that this country was there, but they made such inferior bloodsuckers."

Bernard was the same in terms of dissatisfaction with the king.

They were proud of their ancestors' dedication to building and defending this country with their kings, but believed that they should also be given the treatment that their ancestors received as a token of gratitude.

"This country is one because we stand united."

"Yes, say second-rate, third-rate. If you're noble, you still have room to tolerate it because you're the right pedigree in this country, but I didn't know you'd make a national guest with a horsebone called Marius and such!

The phrase "tolerate" or something like that against the king is extremely disrespectful, but we think it is an acceptable position.

Since the descendants of the first Bernhardt, the ancestors of the founding fathers and legendary braves, are royal, it is also natural for us, descendants of those who cooperated with the first Bernhardt, to enjoy our privileges.

Without understanding or imagining how much hardship the royal family has endured since its founding.

Now their spearhead was a subordinate of unknown qualities: Marius, who became the new national guest magician.

"Klaus Adler, such as a national guest magician, declined even when he was recommended, and since then no one has sat in the glorious position, why on earth would such a guy..."

It was Wilson, one of the court magicians, who raised his regrettable voice.

He saw the simulation and saw Marius' strength, but was not convinced of the status he had been given.

I believe that a man of honorable descent is the one who deserves glorious status, and as such was kept away from Lucas, but perhaps Wilson should say hi because he also sees Lucas and Nilsson as "inferior races who are only a little better and are under the king's petition".

"When this happens, do we have to aim outside the royal palace? But Marius and the others are pulling inside the royal palace to see what they're afraid of.

"Aren't you afraid to meet our glorious first-class nobility? You'll know your inferiority."

They think so more than the bottom of their minds.

I don't understand correctly what it means to be able to use "dispel" without chanting, to bury a flock of Wyburns in an instant.

It's cruel to blame because Wilson, who is their magical advisor and a court magician with pure strength, thinks something similar.

"I see, it could be unchanging or just a little awesome technology. But that's how easy it is to kill."

It was Wilson who "advised" his colleagues so surprised by the information about Marius.

Even though the wizard's weakness is unintentional and flesh-bomb warfare.

Whether you can use an unchanging chant or not, there are only a limited number of opponents at a time.

Whatever you need, you can have Zeppal steel gear with magic deactivation capability.

Wilson spoke confidently, and therefore neither did Bernard or Ashton and others doubt it.

Nilsson, the head of the Magic Corps, would have let go of saying, "If you were simply hit, wouldn't that be an unpleasant thing," and Lucas would have advised, "It's the source of the great injury that only thinks things by reference to yourself".

They could be said to be exactly alike in that they do not accept things that do not conform to their values.

"In the first place, why can't you speak Tariant when you're here in the flourishing kingdom of Philato, you countryman?"

Bernard curses Marius even more.

Worldwide, I know Farmian is more mainstream, but I think there are just a lot of inferiors who have succumbed to the savage Farmian Empire.

Wilsung hit such a Bernard with a question.

"Lord Bernard, I wonder if Marius and one of his language teachers, Miss Helka, were not stepdaughters"

"Uhm."

Bernard's face was blatantly distorted.

His second son, Alvin Von Cooper, did serve as Lovisa's maid of honor and is now married to Herka, who is Marius' language teacher, and he makes children.

"That girl, the princess's samurai, made me think she was good, and she bounced back a lot. It's the Count's house. It's a nobleman."

"Have you ever heard rumors about horses, horses, etc. that are beyond the control of a princess? Was it true? As Lord Cooper, it was a disaster."

Ashton answers Bernard with a puking face.

His son was fully satisfied that he was married to a leading aristocratic maid.

Wilson opened his mouth before Bernard tried to protest by turning his face bright red.

"Marius and I are going to the Magic Festival. Why don't you aim there?

"Hmm. If you're out of the country, don't hesitate."

Occasionally Bernard and Ashton start calculating in their brains.

Wilsung laughed damned when he saw those two.

I was thinking of using it at best in order to become a court magic master.

"Yes, it is."

Rovisa sighed as Emma read through the report from Helka.

'Cause if it's a hellhole, it's always going to run on dangerous roads.'

I understood that it was due to Helka's loyalty to herself because Rovisa wasn't stupid either.

You can send me information once and for all as you enter the Cooper family, but how can there be a wave of wind between me and my husband and his father?

"I don't think anyone would be Rowesa's pussy if it was so grandiose."

Emma says, etc., and I don't think Rovisa is right, but I wanted her to choose a slightly more cardiac-friendly means.

"In that sense, Master Marius is something similar."

"I agree with Helka"

Emma ran out of words.

Marius prefers cocoa and lemon tea, and when he eats apple pie and cow steak, he only looks nostalgic for a moment, and sees Rovisa the most chilly of the three.

It was Emma's view that the roots had lived in a world that was good and unrelated to ventriloquism, a human being that could be described as almost ordinary, except for its strength.

It is a woman named Herka who instinctively perceives it and treats Marius in a way that does not make him angry.

It only shows up as a madman by the side, and probably for Marius.

Helka's basic attitude was to make it easier for Rovisa and Emma to move because she thought she was a lunatic.

"But you don't have to continue acting even before us. After that, we can't even make an effort to draw Master Alvin into this side. It would be in the royal interest to divide and weaken the Cooper family."

Emma shrugged her shoulder when she told Alvin that she had tipped her off to meet her, but she shook the opportunity on the stick.

"Those guys are self-righteous, narrow-minded, and biased into their values, but if they try to take in Alvin, they'll have enough power to realize it."

There's also a reason why Rovisa's tone gets hard on her own.

Because they are not only proud of their pedigree, but also the owners of spiritual structures unrelated to self-polishing.

"If that's a deal...... I'm out, please forgive me"

I shut up, assuming that Rovisa was not willing to expose Herka even more to danger, trying to say that I could cook anyway.

Emma thinks it's the same thing because Herka is already in the vortex, and Herka would agree, but Rovisa hasn't thrown out the sweetness.

Emma, who doesn't dislike its sweetness, was thinking of saying nothing if at the stage of being able to take it back.

"It's okay. I'm pretty sure it's the concubine's impudence. Besides, would it be all right to wear any more helmets on Master Marius? His Majesty started spilling headaches on Lucas and the others."

I trust Helka's sense of smell and acting skills, but I want to avoid dangerous imitations as much as I can, beyond any assurance as to how far they will work for Marius.

It's too scary that the spark seems to be sprinkled more where I don't know than to say.

"I know if I can help you with that. I generally learned Farmian."

"Huh?"

To my surprise Rovisa. Emma speaks in Farmian, which makes sense, albeit oblivious.

Except for the elusive ones, I can generally talk.

"How about that?

"... the most horrible thing about concubines is Emma, you"

"Thank you"

For Emma, the horrible thing that Rovisa tells me is synonymous with being reliable, so I gave her a bow of grace without moving one eyebrow.

Shadows were gathered in some part of the Tariant continent.

"I hear the humans are trying to kill Marius, right?

"How?

"Assassination."

The laughter boiled.

"Humans, you're good at taking laughter."

The others are in tune when one laughs and gives his opinion.

"Absolutely."

"I don't have a choice. They think it's their power to keep their lives alive thanks to some of them, heroes and braves, because they're congratulatory creatures."

No attempt has been won by humans in their battle against the Shadows.

In all times, we have won thanks to a distinguished presence called heroes and brave men.

"With that said, humans are wary of our hands. Sure enough, the saying is," Don't repeat the Serraeno tragedy. "

The big bang happens again.

"Humans, are you gonna make us laugh and die?

"You're an unimaginable new weapon. People say," I feel like I ate laughing mushrooms. "

The Seraeno tragedy caused by the infiltrating demon and his subordinates is a lesson for the humans, it should have been.

The shadows mock them.

"It's our move, it's all over the place, and no one can find it."

"That's not human. Marius might be able to do it, but that's all."

We laugh at stupid people who don't notice us.

"Let's get started, let's end human beings."

"Wait a minute, I'm wondering where Aulanis is sleeping, and I'm wondering if the information just came out."

"So we're splitting up on the second hand? We're going to the kingdom of Philato, and you're going to find Lady Aulanis."

"Fine. Anyway, I think Aulanis would be better off."

"Silly. I'm talking about Aulanis being as strong as a Bakemon from the demon kings."

─ ─ In future generations, the greatest battle of mankind, which will be called the "Twilight of the New World (Catastrophe)", is slowly but surely imminent.
