No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

Jeremiah came to visit in the middle of the night and said Asura was gone.

Jeremiah fell asleep against her will, awakened by nightmares, even though she was taking the status anomaly antidote I had made and distributed to everyone. I guess I woke up on the way because of the pills, but it's not calm that Jeremiah fell asleep after slipping through my prepared antidote.

"Asura, or..."

Even I didn't have any suspicions.

That's why we told the king we'd pick it up ourselves. To monitor that trend and make sure there is no danger.

But the usual Asura seemed too natural and just like an innocent child.

So how long was I supposed to fail to be alert to Asla, but Jeremiah didn't seem to have abandoned her concerns, despite her closest friendship with Asla?

Jeremiah apparently was concerned that Asura was the spy sent to us, but I don't think I can throw out the line that it was the influence of the recently taken in Barron and the Queens and their subordinates, the Undead.

But if he even crept out of my [sign perception] when he was awake (or sleeping, other than during the max MP expansion himself), I was sure it wasn't just every bit.

Wake up your father, mother or steph just in case, and explain the situation.

However, I decided to ask the three of them to wait at the mansion.

Regarding "tracking", I and Jeremiah, who were trained as your users in "Yata-glass", have a day long, and I am the "Immortalist" and Jeremiah can strengthen my physical abilities in "Assassin". There is no one else who can follow me or Jeremiah in speed.

In addition, have Melvi follow you.

Melvi came and went to the Mansion and Fairy Town these days, but she was just at the Mansion tonight.

"Melvi, will you let Toshiya out?

"So not Toshiya, but Tushira Lavati, if you say so!

Melvi gives me Toshiya as I complain.

The signs of Asura seem unique, so I thought they might be found in Toshiya's [wave detection].

Are you sure Toshiya's a cactus arm? fingers in a direction that is bent all the way around? I did.

... or I've never seen this guy move before, what kind of reactions do I have to do?

"- Let's go, Mr. Edgar!

Jeremiah, who is rarely uncomfortable, rushes me to do so.

"Calm down, Jeremiah. Sedative Breathing"

I let Jeremiah breathe the sedation she learned from Gazein.

I don't want to remind you of "Yata-glass," but it's a shame that the technology taught by Gazein is too convenient to use, whether it's about combat, operational planning, or anything else. I also use Jeremiah in part.

As Jeremiah calmed down, me and Jeremiah left the mansion and rushed out in the direction indicated by Toshiya.

Toshiya's arm seemed subtly upward, so me and Jeremiah went up to the roof of the adjacent mansion without permission and began to run soundlessly over the roof.

- I didn't need that much time before I found Asla.

"Asura!

Asura perched on a chimney with a spicy sculpture of an aristocratic mansion.

But this is the residence of the Marquis Sargastine (that is, Senior Miriam's father).

Nevertheless, it seems a coincidence, and Asura looks at the full moon in the sky with her eyes narrowed. Those eyes - they seemed to glow purple.

Jeremiah called me, and Asura turned this way.

"Oodles..."

I was only uncomfortable with how Asla was doing.

The usual innocent virginity disappeared and he had a chilly eye and expression.

That look made me look familiar.

Nothing else, the look on Queen's face.

"... hey, are you a Queen?

I wondered if Queen had taken over Asla.

"No, I (...) and her are really in the same family, but I wasn't taken by the Queen"

The tone is as if it were different.

The usual Asura talks more uncircumcised like me when I was little.

The tone now compares to that - no, it didn't have to compare, it was an adult thing. It may be closer, such as aged, rather than grown up.

"You are... who?

I'll listen.

"I..."

Asura? says, shutting his mouth as confused.

I figured it out, Asura? Try [Devil's Eye of Truth] on.

"... I don't know. Who am I..."

Confused Asura? Ask.

"Hey, are you 'Ashra'...?

Ask that from the fact that your status just got a little decent, Asla? the look suddenly got steep.

"I didn't know you would call me by that name... are you the hands of those people? Young for that..."

"I think it's about your age.... I mean, don't you get me?

"I don't know. I just woke up. I was asleep in this girl. I guess I woke up feeling signs of a nostalgic compatriot there. It looks like he's already dead when he says he's one of us..."

Do you mean "Queen"?

"Well... I'm Edgar. Asura, the one who protects your child."

"I don't think you're lying. It also seems to be under the power of the Good God."

"... do you understand?

"I'm a kind of demon called a vampire.... Well, it should."

"... how can you be so unsure?

"There are a lot of demons packed inside this girl. The Demons are not demons, but some of them seemed to be included.

The only one of them who could remain conscious seems to be me, a vampire who also has character as a spiritual life form. The rest could no longer maintain their personality by losing the seizure of the realm in their daughter's brain, leaving only fragmented memories and abilities to disappear... "

Asura? s vain look, I just have to stop.

Instead, Jeremiah listens.

"So, what about the regular Asura?

"I don't know... the harpy queen that was contained in the plain body had the ability to lead the herd. It conveyed a vague impression to the harpies by their mental sensitivity, and was rather ambiguous about changing their behavior, which in this case was fortunate. Harpy Queen's consciousness successfully organizes and integrates other fragments of consciousness, forming a new personality that is also different from the original Harpy Queen. That's who your daughter calls" Asura "..."

"Oh no..."

If so, it would mean that "Asura" is an artificial personality created by bringing together the spirit of demons and demons.

"... who did that?

That's what I said. My voice was hard enough to tell.

"I don't know. I, too, have lost a great deal of my previous memory in the confusion that followed the synthesis.

They gathered together rare demons and demons, elves and dark elves, dwarves, dragon men (dragonoids) from all over the continent, and their flesh and spirit.

I escaped the place they called 'the lab', but at that point I ran out of power and was robbed of the personality that the lullabies called 'Asura' for control of this body.

Nevertheless, I was not extinguished. Though it wasn't the outside information that came in, I slept fine in the way I was dreaming in this body. "

"I mean, there are two personalities in Asura: 'Asura' and you..."

"To be precise, there are many other fragments of the spirit that do not lead to the formation of personality. It is the personality of 'Asura' that is controlling them and extending their lives. I also seem to have survived under the control of 'Asura' by using up my powers during my escape."

"How can Asura 'fuck' demons and dead spirits?

"This body and this spirit - this individual they called 'Ashra' - have vague boundaries of their own and are free to take in other organisms and spiritual bodies. This seemed like a side-effect to them."

"" Pandemonium "…"

"Yes, that's what they called it..."

Asura? s explanation solved a large part of the mystery surrounding Asura.

"... Speaking of which, what's your name?

"I don't know. The confusion caused by synthesis stirred memories, and I don't know which name comes to mind. If it's not convenient, call it what you want."

It's hard for you to say what you like.

I'm next door. I see Melvi following Jeremiah.

First of all, there is no Melvi. It would be difficult to call me if I were given a name like Toshiya.

Jeremiah nodded... sending her gaze, leaving it to me.

"Well, what about 'Night'?"

"Hmm... what does that mean?

"In the words of my country of birth, 'night' or 'knight'. 'Night' because you're a vampire, 'knight' because you let Asla get away from the lab and all that."

Of course the English spelling is different, but I wouldn't mind because this is Marquecto.

I think it's cheap naming while I'm at it, but the girl in front of me seems to like it.

"Fine. I was in a position closer to the princess than a knight... but I was good at fighting"

"Then Knight, there's a lot more I want you to know."

Knight took control of me.

And I say from the top of the chimney, staring at the old town.

"... as far as the signs are concerned, I think you're quite a warrior. I see you've never fought that hand (...)"

"- Ed, Jeremiah! The mighty Curse reaction is approaching!

At the same time as Knight, Melvi sounds a warning.

I follow Knight's gaze with Toshiya glowing and trembling next to Melvi on my ass.

"..."?

It looked black.

The cubes gradually come together and take shape close to the human form.

He turned into a human-shaped monster with a goat-head about two meters tall.

On its back, there are giant bat-shaped feathers.

"- Devil. Intermediate...... would it be"

Knight snaps.

"But to that extent, it's fine. I am a vampire but a fitting variant of divinity. [Holy Magic] So - No, shit!

"Duh, what's going on?

"I told you I used up my powers during my escape. My power has been swallowed up by the chaotic realm that is in me and I can't use it now......!

That's what I'm gonna ask. No, I'm gonna slap the "Flame Lance" I had prepared against the devil with [letterless activation].

but the devil took it face-to-face that he would have "Flame Lance". He doesn't even look shocked, and the devil is approaching us.

"Baron or Queen said they had countermeasures! Night, can we get two of them out?!?"

"I can't! Anything you take in is under Asla's control!

"You ever go back to Asla?

"I can't! I don't even know how I got on the table in the first place!

Even while me and Knight are arguing, Jeremiah is using the power of the Black Mage to tap into the magic of the light, but the devil continues to suffer Jeremiah's magic along with the laughter.

Because demons are spiritual life forms, the magic of using physical attacks and natural phenomena didn't work.

Lost quote, I came up with only one thing that seemed to work.

"- Eat!

That's what I threw at him, a fragment of the stripping junction. I was disabling every attack with one thin piece. How about this?

- Guh!

The fragments cleaved the devil's cheek and something purple sumptuous blew out of it.

but it didn't seem like a big scratch, the devil abominably teases me and flies through the universe towards me.

I take the pieces out of the dimensional storage and throw them, but even if the shooter is supposed to be corrected, I can only give them a scratch.

When the devil tried to jump at me.

"... the devil. These guys are troublesome. Because the phase of existence is out of tune with us."

Along with signs of being pushed to death, a discerning figure jumped onto the roof in front of me.

The person, dressed in faded blonde hair, an empty scarf and finely sculpted silver armor, had already held the person's iconic holy sword, the Space Wing Grip (Space Ruler).

"Mr. Ciel!

Yes. The person who appeared abruptly was Mr. Ciel.

When Mr. Ciel glances over our shoulders, he sets his holy sword against the demon in the front.

"- This is how the devil hunts, Mr. Edgar! Enchant Y Dimension - Dimension Blade

Mr. Siel lets the magic of [Dimensional Magic] be summed up in the Holy Sword and slashed into the devil.

The devil sends the attack, but with a knife to return, he slashes his chest in reverse.

Until now, the skin of the demon, which had no effect other than fragmentation, had been thoroughly mutilated.

- Ggaaaa!

The devil screams and bounces back, creating a number of dark fireballs around him.

The fireball is set loose for Mr. Siel, but when Mr. Siel took steps and spread all of it on a piece of paper, he slashed it on the devil again.

The next slaughter ends with a shallow slash of the demon's surface and only a slight rise of purple smoke. Maybe the devil side took some kind of defense.

This is what Mr. Ciel said in a mild tone, the same as usual, as he took his time from the devil.

"The truth is, [Holy Magic] It would be easier if I had [Holy Swordsmanship], but unfortunately I don't have that kind of aptitude. It's a legendary skill that's almost lost even if it's aptitude."

However, when I tried this, it felt that Mr. Siel's attack was effective (...), but not special (...) against the devil.

"But if they're the only ones, you don't have to take them down with one blow."

As the words say, Mr. Siel increases his maneuvers and gradually overwhelms the devil.

In addition to the fireballs just now, the devil also uses unsure attacks such as clouds of anger and bloody needles, all of which Mr. Siel cuts and frightens with a critical eye. The devil was while flirting with Mr. Siel, who uses [empty walking] to run through the air and launch an attack from all directions.

"Shh, wow..."

Jeremiah crumbled next door.

Indeed, it is a vibrant battle as if it were a slaughterhouse.

but I'm starting to see the seeds as I watch.

Mr. Ciel is cleaving the devil to the power of every dimension around him.

Of course, it's inefficient. But it also seems to be inflicting a certain amount of damage on the demon of not having an entity.

"... if you're dealing with a demon, there are a few brave men who are better suited than me..."

Mr. Ciel continues in a tone of spare time as he carries out a slaughter that goes unnoticed (though I can't even see it if it's a visual enhancement of my [Immortalist]).

"Even I can't defeat you. Well, for your information."

With that said, Mr. Siel slashes down the holy sword that brought [Dimensional Magic] together.

The devil screamed and scratched out the Terminator - I thought,

"Shit..."

Mr. Ciel leaks his tongue.

The figure of the demon, which should have been slashed and abandoned by Mr. Ciel, was in the hollow about ten meters away.

"Did they slash the phantom...... no, something like lizard tail cutting"

As Mr Ciel put it, it seemed a phantom to see him now slashed. No, lizard tail-cutting to be exact - I guess the monster with no entity managed to escape as a scuttle by cutting off part of himself.

The devil returns straight to the black hall and flees to the alley under his eyes.

"Aren't you going after me?

When I ask,

"Capturing a thoroughly fleeing demon is a bit to me..."

Mr. Ciel said the bat looked bad.

"Thank you, Mr. Ciel. Feel the sign of the devil in here?

"No, it just so happens. I just came to see it because I felt signs of battle during the night walk."

Indeed, Mr. Ciel's status did not have skills that were likely to capture the demon's signs directly.

"A walk at night? Is this some sort of anti-cleaver (ripper) measure?

"No... not like that..."

Mr. Ciel clouded his mouth.

Is it a private story?

"... I don't like it"

It was Asla - no, it was Knight - who broke into the conversation between me and Mr. Ciel.

"You were wondering what was going on. You showed up after you determined if I or Edgar could fight the devil?

What... Really?

I didn't feel any sign of Mr. Ciel in the perception of the signs by my "Immortalist".

Despite this, Knight said he was aware of Mr. Siel's signs.

"... what makes you think that?

Mr. Ciel listened back without affirmation or denial.

"The signs of your holy sword are dense. For those of you who are taking Curse in."

"I see... but okay, I said that. Being a brave man, I might kill you, a disturbing molecule, right?

"If that's what you're going to do, let's just do it.... What are you really thinking?

Mr. Ciel shrugged his shoulder without saying anything, such as Night staring at him.

"You found out. In fact, Edgar, I just wanted to see how you respond to the devil."

Mr. Ciel and Knight had confronted each other a lot since then, but Knight had a glimmer of standing around as Mr. Ciel made a cute noise and put the holy sword in his sheath.

"Oh, hey, Knight! You okay?!?"

"Night!?"

Me and Jeremiah rush over and hug Knight.

Knight slowly opened his eyes. No, no, no.

"... oh dear, oh dear"

"Hey, is that Asla?

When I woke up, Knight was switching to Asla.

"... are you okay?

Mr. Ciel asked me worried, but I nodded small.

- And Mr. Ciel suddenly turned to the side. It was Jeremiah who was at the end of that gaze.

"What... what is it?

Jeremiah says in a cavernous manner.

"No... you..."

Mr. Siel stared alternately at Jeremiah and the holy sword in his hand, laughing at the last thing he did (...).

The laugh - I finally found something I've been looking for for for a long time... and it seemed to me.

"Jeremiah... Was it?

"Yes, sir"

Suddenly Mr. Siel whispered something as he put his mouth to Jeremiah's ear.

"... What do you mean, what do you mean?

Jeremiah says as bewildered.

"Keep it a secret from others. Especially to me (...), never ask questions about what's going on"

"Yeah... Huh?

Jeremiah may well be confused.

Whatever you don't tell others, don't ask the person you said it to?

"… let this story be so far"

Mr. Ciel said so ahead of me when he tried to open his mouth.

Contrary to the grin that is floating, the will seems firm.

It depends on the content, but if you ask Jeremiah later, he might tell you.

I decided not to pursue it any further,

"Well, I've already decided to leave today. Thank you for your help."

"Fine. If you think you owe me one."

"Or do you lend it?

"Yes, a handsome nobleman."

"It's a little impossible to introduce you"

To my words, Mr. Ciel lost his neck disappointingly.

◇

Ask him on his way home, he said Asla had been out for a night air walk several times before putting Jeremiah to sleep.

If I can't do it, it could hurt my feathers... but by then, Asura's desire to fly seems strong.

Knight said it's Harpy Queen that's at the heart of 'Asla' 's personality, so maybe it's like his instinct as a harpy.

If so, it's pathetic to hold back too much. But there's no one among us who can fly in the air. At least if it was Knight, not Asura, it wouldn't seem like we'd get into any extra danger...

"By the way, if you were flying in the sky at night, didn't you notice the suspicious person?

I'll ask Asla.

If Asura was walking in the air at night, she could be witnessing something about the Ripper case.

Asura is being protected by us on the day of the third incident.

So first I heard about the night of the Fourth and Fifth - Double Murder.

but

"Yeah... I did, because I didn't really see it"

"Well... was there anything else strange?

When I asked, Asura told me after she showed a little distress.

"Something... I was soaking up."

"Something? People? Dragon knights?

The Dragon Knights are the leading candidates for flying beings.

"One, not... Something smaller."

"It could be an animal or a demon that can fly."

That's what Jeremiah says.

But if it was "smaller than a person," the animal and the demon would not have put a person on it.

If so, it would be a demon or something off the herd, unrelated to the incident.

And I thought, Ashra said something unexpected.

"Hmmm... it has to be something else"

Something not a creature was flying in the sky?

Bing, does it feel more like you passed a certain path at high speed than you were flying freely?

With that in mind, I came up with one that seemed to apply.

"Hey, is that around the bridge?

"Hmmm...... that way?

Asura pointed east - through the Golden Gate Bridge and parts of the New Town, in a direction to the sea.

The Golden Gate Bridge has a ropeway. Wouldn't it make such a noise if luggage was sent at night?

"It was pretty fast, wasn't it?

"... and already"

"Hey, after a while, didn't you hear anything?

"... did"

"What?"

"... some sort of miserable old man"

"The interval between the first sound and its cracking sound was cool?

"Yeah, right away"

That? In my "come to think of it," it should take at least a dozen minutes...

Well, Asla wasn't listening to all the noises, so there 'll be explanations.

I don't think it's a one-time task.

"Mr. Edgar. You figured something out?

"No certainty, but I wonder if you've got a star"

Answering that, Jeremiah said, "That's you, Edgar! ♪ But I'm turning a blind eye ♪

... I'm still in the hypothetical phase.

"So Asura has nothing to do with the case!?"

I snorted heavily at Jeremiah, who was listening to me.

but hearing that word of Jeremiah, Asura swelled her cheeks puffy.

"... you wanted to?

Jeremiah apologized to Asra, who stared at Jeremiah with her jitsy eyes, as if her butt looked bad.

"Ugh, sorry."

"Buh."

Asura was getting more and more bloated and that night seemed much less angry.

Because of that, I was distracted to hear what Mr. Ciel had eared to Jeremiah earlier.

- This anger of Asura was still going on after she was tired and had fallen asleep and woken up, and me and Jeremiah were going to have a rough time untying that anger.
