No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan
104 to the untouched underground cavity.
The day before the discovery of the sixth case by the Ripper...
I asked Melvi, who for the first time had returned to the Culver Mansion (which he had managed to call the Marquis's mansion), how the stripping unbundling work was progressing.
"It's going so well that I'm scared. The stripping kingdom was cut by a third."
Melvi said that with such strange tension that there was a mixture of excitement and tension.
That the grief that has been sought for more than a thousand years will finally be fulfilled. I don't think I can do much to weigh that in.
It's just...
"I know how you feel, but don't overthink it."
"Yes..."
It's more or less a boring failure at times like this.
I know it's hard, but I think Melvi needs a change of mood.
"That's right. I haven't seen anyone from Icki today. Melvi's not coming, either?
"What's Icki?"
"Look, the ex-boys squad is subtle, so you said we'd give it a name and it turned out to be 'icky'."
"Oh, oh! You mean the Miguels! I wondered what you were talking about."
Honestly, I don't think it's a familiar name either, but I can't even change it now because we've all named it. I don't really want to use the word "boys squad" because it reminds me of "Yata-glass".
So today I decided to take Melvi and Jeremiah and Asla to the headquarters of Adventurer Guild Monocanus.
By the way, Steph's off today. Culver Mansion is an unlikely white company in this world, with a proper one or two weekly vacations guaranteed up to the end servants. My father and I were discussing this at a company in our previous life when we were on vacation, and he said it was a good mechanism and my father took it in the mansion. Whereas the servants of the Culver Mansion are excellent, giving them a vacation has not interfered with their work, they say that having a moderate rest has rather improved the efficiency of their work.
When Steph heard I was going on an adventure, he said, "Shall I accompany you? He asked me," but I told my men to stay as long as I wanted because I didn't want to be the boss forcing them to go to work on holidays.
"Boy is sweet, but you can count on me for a little more, right?
to Steph, who goes out of his way to crouch and then says that at the top of his head,
"I'm counting on you. But I'm with everyone in Icki today. If Stef were here, the others would be gone."
And, explaining that we had no body or lid, we left the Culver Mansion behind.
It is necessary to cross the Golden Gate Bridge from the Cure Mansion in the Old Town to the Adventurer Guild Headquarters in the New Town, but the Guild Headquarters is right next to the New Town side exit of the Golden Gate Bridge. The Culver Mansion is also located facing the main street of the Old Town, so it took less than half an hour to reach the Guild by proceeding with the Old Town Main Street - Golden Gate Bridge - New Town Main Street.
As soon as I entered the Adventurer Alliance, I found my nostalgic face.
"Miguel! Beck! That's a hiccup!
There were Miguel and Beck, who after five years had completely turned into the boy's face.
Miguel is fourteen this year and Beck is thirteen. Miguel had stretched out the same redhead like his wolf hair where he said it in his previous life to have a hair that looked like an unvisual system. Beck splits the previously shortened blonde hair perfectly in the middle, cutting it into patches with the tips of her hair aligned.
The back, they were both big enough to look up. In terms of units of previous life, I wonder if Miguel is over 160 inches and 170 centimeters to Beck.
Miguel seems to be using the same armor as before, but Beck's still seemed to love the duralmin shield I gave him. Other than that, Beck has a massive mace on his back.
"I'm here too."
Looking back to that voice,
"Until Donna!
Donna should be sixteen this year. Black peppered doggy mimi and blocked tail, the unique knitting semi-long was the same, but a little taller (about 155cm?), most importantly - my chest was getting bigger.
Okay? I'm gonna say it again... my chest was getting bigger!
When I couldn't take my eyes off Donna's chest, Donna noticed it and hid her chest with her arm.
And a severe pain running to the back of my leg.
"Huh!
"Because I'm just looking at Donna's breasts!
That's what Jeremiah said as she stepped through the back of my foot in a puffy, cute rage.
... No, the way you're angry is cute, but it was a pretty serious blow right now. I thought you were losing your HP.
Watching Jeremiah and Donna dust each other delight,
"You're the same, Oro... it wasn't, Edgar"
That's what I've been saying, Neville, who was behind the three of us.
He was a shady credit for putting together your messengers when he flipped the anti-flag in "Yata-glass".
"In a nearby city, I happen to find it."
After the construction of the Great Wall, Neville, along with several of his companions, is persuading and capturing the rest of the party. There are still people who believe in the doctrine of "Yata-glass." Also, some of them have lost themselves to assassins without any relation to doctrine. In this case, I no longer believe in doctrine, so I will respond not as an ex-user, but as just an assassin. It's a gloomy job, but at least to atonement, a few former servants, below Neville, had taken the initiative to take charge of it.
Along the way, he sees the three Miguels, and that means they're back together in the king's capital.
"I have a grandfather, but I'm tired from a long journey, so I said I'd rest at the inn."
Donna taught me about Grandpa Ganash - the master of [Pharmaceutical Research] in my [Negra]. If I told you I got the class "Alchemist," you'd be so surprised.
"... Ah, Edgar, you're thinking bad again"
Jeremiah clings to me with jito eyes.
I saw the universe to escape that gaze and asked Miguel.
"Is that it? What about Mr. Moria?
"Oh, Mom would be upstairs. I have other brothers, Mr. Huffman and Chester."
"What, you have a brother Chester too?
"Hey, that guy, he was great, huh? See, with the example Edgar developed."
Lurking a little, Miguel says.
An example of this - firearms I developed. Brother Chester, who has a good eye for bows, has also been asked to test the firearms he has developed.
I had a lot of them used, but in the end what I liked about him was a simple sniper gun with bolt-action style.
I'm trying to recreate a firearm (in a movie or cartoon, of course) that I've seen in my previous life by having Melvi's [hypnosis] pull my previous life knowledge from the depths of my memory. Among them, a gun called the Toyotomi M1500, which was operated as a sniper gun by a Japanese police special unit, was adapted to the nature of the ammunition I could make and the materials available to me, and was completed as a "howa modification". It's this gun that I'm giving to my brother now.
Of course, I am pressing for it to be used in places that are invisible to people.
Talking about that, Mr. Moria and the others came down from upstairs.
"Oh, Ed Fong! You're starting to get tired of me!
Mr. Moria just hugged me.
I should have been in my mid-thirties by now, but it was the same bikini armor as before. I have never seen my appearance fade when I get older, but rather have the impression that I am experiencing an assortment of women.
"Or, Mom! Stop embarrassing me!
That's what Miguel says and strips Mr. Moria off.
Miguel's in puberty, too. A young, beautiful mother is something of a pain in the ass at Bikini Armor.
I can see that, when I gave him a thumbs up all the time with the intention, he looked terribly nasty.
"... Ed, that's a hiccup"
It was Brother Chester who spoke so quietly.
On your brother's back, I also have a storage case for the Houwa conversion I produced. It feels like a sniper when it's black and long and thin. Even in this world there was no evil noticeable because there are those who disassemble and carry long spears and such.
"How's the Houwa modification going?
"Yeah, this is an amazing gun. Ed said the effective range was about 800 meters, but if you listen to the woods and coat them with [wind magic], you can go all the way to 1300 meters away."
"Yeah? So much!? No, I think just Brother Chester can do that."
Brother Chester says he can hear "The Voice of the Forest" from the experience he has gained familiarity with the forest as an elf. This seems to be separate from the voice of the Spirit heard in [Spirit Magic], but I didn't have the skills to do it, and I couldn't imitate it no matter how many ways I heard it.
The very technique of coating a bullet with [Wind Essence Magic] to eliminate the effects of the wind is not something I knitted, but something that seems to have long been known to wind wizards. Elves and others say they will snipe with tremendous precision by teasing the arrows with [wind magic]. Of course, "sniping" in this case is a bow, not a gun, but it was said to range from four to 500 meters.
Brother Chester will have used both of those techniques to snipe with the Houwa modification and knock out a maximum range of 1300 meters. When I myself used the howa modification to snipe, it took correction as a "shooter", but only a level of sniping that reached critical range. In other words, with that range, it became the maximum range of the Houwa modification.
"With him, it's going to be too easy to hunt and lose his arm."
And Moria, who sent Miguel, says:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Moria, I heard you were taking care of your ex-user's adventurer. I don't know if it's from me, but thank you."
That's what I say. I bow my head to Mr. Moria.
"Ha. Because Ed Boy, who was kidnapped by them, thanks for them. He's a total freak."
The punishment imposed on the former emperor of Yata-glass was his service to the construction of the Great Wall and his period of probation. The Great Wall, which covers the outer edge of the new town of Monocanus, has been completed last fall. The former messengers who were thereby released, but they could not find their way forward, and were bewildered.
From that, Mr. Moria brought together those who were willing to be adventurers to teach him Iloha as an adventurer.
"... hated it at first. You're one of the people who took Miguel from me.
But as I listened, I found out that they were victims, too. All I can do is plant their know-how as adventurers so they can live on their own. Come on, you were fast on your own because you had enough to do as an adventurer. "
Several groups of ex-user adventurers have already been formed and are active.
They do their jobs steadily and do not mislead the hardware, so they are gradually becoming trusted by the guilds and their clients, he said.
In addition, some of the former emperors also enroll in the Knights of the Cure Marquis under their father's command. The king also wants a highly loyal snitch, and he says he actively recruits for the talent that this is.
Of course, there are circumstances where they don't want to let the educated as assassins go wild, but I hear that's not all. The former servant of Yata-glass said that he was well skilled as an assassin and that he had not deviated from the public and was obedient to orders from above. Normally, the more competent a spy is, the harder it becomes to deal with him or her by using confidential information to threaten his employer. In that regard, the former user says he is loyal to his mission and has little personal appetite. The king seemed to be praising him, but from me it also seemed like a subtle assessment. In short, because it's like being said to be an excellent hound obedient to authority and easy to get used to. From the side of power, no handkerchief would be more convenient.
The current king Vistogard I is famous for his affection, but of course he is a person who can make realistic and purposeful decisions as a ruler. I'll need to be somewhat careful so that my ex-user doesn't get crushed.
"Mr. Moria, I'm just talking about here...... how about them?
"How...?
"This is just one of the rumors... There was talk that the remnants of the" Yata-glass "party were working on the Ripper case in retaliation for the kingdom..."
Ask Mr. Moria about the possibilities that Prince Ellens was suggesting.
Mr. Moria showed him how he had been taken away for a moment before thinking about it and eventually shook his head.
"Edgar, you don't really believe me either, do you?
"Yeah, well."
"You have one thing to point out. If the Ripper case was really the work of the rest of the Yata-glass party, isn't the rest of the party making a statement about the crime?
You're absolutely right. If this is retaliation against the Kingdom of Santa Mana, which devastated the Yata-glass, the rest of the party will issue a statement of the crime. Otherwise, you won't know it's retaliation.
If there is a hunting serial murder in Monocanus, the king's knee, and the royal castle will never catch the culprit, the face of the Kingdom of Santa Mana will be crushed.
At that time, the way the rest of the party is taken externally will change dramatically depending on whether they have made a prior statement of offense. If despite the statement of the crime, we were unable to deal with it, it would be that the remaining party rewarded the Kingdom of Santa Mana with an arrow.
If the rest of the party is dreaming of rebuilding "Yata-glass", they will be missing out on the opportunity to publicize the organization of their outfits. It's unnatural for an ex-user to act like he should also be planting information gathering and intelligence manipulation.
"I don't totally know about the rest of the party, either. The former users of Yata-glass are already dedicated to their work. That's not all. There are even people acting like vigilantes in the wake of the Ripper case. Night activities are our specialty, so tell us you want to help us arrest the Ripper."
"... I didn't know that"
"Those guys are a little too serious for me to say. I think it's just enough to be a little more annoying, but those guys don't like balancing between white and black. Seeing the gray ones, I guess I really don't feel like I need to clean it up white or black. But those people repented, so I don't think they're gonna fall to the side I know is' black 'now."
"... there are still some remnants on the run, how about that one?
"Ask Neville more than I do."
When Mr. Moria said, Neville, who was listening, opened his mouth.
"When I say remnants, I'm not forming a detachment party." Yata-glass "was an organization that avoided unnecessary human contact, so now that" top "has blown up," bottom "is falling apart.
I'm not convinced that one of them is coming to King's Capital to play Ripper. They're educated in "Yata-glass," so it's easy for us to read how bad they behave. How to gather information, what locations to base, how to get the supplies you need for an operation...... you can also ambush or trap them because you know what's in those hands.
Most of my most prominent users were in Negra at that time. Isn't that Jeremiah or the dead Gazlow? Or... yes, there was such a thing as "Orochi."
Neville tells me to make fun of him.
I also feel like all circumstantial evidence suggests I'm a Ripper, but I'm definitely not a Ripper. I don't know.
"Anyway, Edgar, I need you to do something for me."
and Mr. Moria has said something unexpected.
"What do you want...?
"Oh, I was just told by Guildmaster (Gilmouth) that I want to explore Naruto."
"Nara? Oh, you mean the underground cavity where the Necromancer lives"
The underground cavity of Lake Monocanus was also known as "Naruto" because of rumours that the Necromancer sprang up and nothing came back into the back.
There was also a theory that the Necromancer who was there appeared on the ground and became a Ripper (Ripper), so it was not unrelated to the Ripper (Ripper) case.
"There was a crash on the old town side last month. It seems that the hole leads to an underground cavity, so they're asking us to investigate it."
Is it a large underground cavity? If that's where they come and go, it's possible that the Ripper is using it. Even in that case, the Ripper is capable of cutting through the undead of eating in a large underground cavity.
According to Prince Ellen's theory, the Ripper (Ripper) is a necromancer and is free to come and go. The prince didn't mean it either......
"Then... I wonder if this is relevant, but there seems to be more flies in Wang Du lately."
"Fly...... is it"
"Oh. They also have concerns that something bred in the underground cavity might be overflowing. In fact, it would be weird to say fly this season, wouldn't it?
The fly is a warming animal, so it shouldn't be able to move very vigorously at this time of low temperatures.
But underground, temperatures are higher this season than on the ground, sometimes directly beneath the lake, and humidity is high. On top of that, it would be easy to breed flies if they were even undead.
"... What, are you going into a fly nest?
When I look as nasty as I want,
"I wonder about that. Strangely enough, there aren't many fly reports by the big hole. So some experts wonder if it has anything to do with flies and big holes. Mostly, if that's the case, there's no reason for flies to come out on the ground just this year."
"That's right."
"Nevertheless, we can't leave the big hole where there are rumors that there are undead ones. I had some opinions about burying them without question, but I'm not supposed to inspire them. That's why the Alliance is looking for adventurers to scout the back of the hole."
"Heh. So, Mr. Moria took it on?
"No, I said no. The reason is simple, the interior of the big hole seems to be intertwined, and there are many narrow areas. Whatever Chester is, me and Huffman have a big body and a big score. Even Chester wouldn't be better suited to a big hole with no prospects than to use a bow or a gun."
Indeed, that may be the case. Mr. Moria uses a double sword, and Mr. Huffman uses a shield or a large axe. Brother Chester is a bow or a gun. Fighting in a small space seems tough.
"That's why I want to ask Ed Boy, whose body is tiny and who can use a wide variety of skills. You can use magic, so if the passage is narrow, you can spread it out, right?
You can dig something like a "duct" like that with a crow.
Besides, if a cleaver (ripper) is using a sharp knife or powerful [wind magic] to amputate a body, he's still likely a powerful adventurer. In addition, the cleaver (ripper) appears to be small based on the height written "X".
In short, the Ripper may have been someone who meets similar requirements to me (= small and highly combative).
For example, the possibility arises that the Ripper (Ripper) was traveling back and forth through both old and new towns via Naruto at the time of the double murder. If so, the mystery of "impossible crime" will be solved.
"... ok, let's do it"
