Episode 12: Fitting the Corpse Eater

When I peek in the bag with the crap, first, the object - that is, I pull it out because I saw a robe there to hide my entire body.

They were stored occasionally. When I spread that out, the shades seemed to be completely lacquered black, the type with even the hood.

It is mainly something that magicians and others often prefer to wear, and if it was me before, first of all, it is something that I would never take even if I had it in the store.

It was just so appealing to me now that its a plain shade that no one would look at it and the shape that allows me to hide my entire body from the top of my head to the toe of my nails that I thought it would be fine to give out gold coins.

Buy me some clothes, I'm in the mood to applaud Lina, a girl adventurer who can choose this in one word of.

... Whatever, let's just try it on.

I actually put my arms through my sleeve and they use good fabric inside, which was pretty comfortable to touch.

It's extremely strange that my tactile senses work like they did in my lifetime with only such dead meat, but even if I don't think calmly, I'm a monster.

Let's think that's what I'm sure it is.

In addition to comfort, it is also a question of whether, as an adventurer, I still intend to inhibit movement and so on.

When I checked, my vision did get a little worse when I completely covered it up to my head, but still I can see forward enough, and I can check my surroundings to some extent.

Hood would never have to be taken if he was surrounded by foes by boulders, but one or two of the demons seemed to be able to relate enough even in this state.

"... what do you say? How did you like it?

"... ooh... bi, I'm surprised..."

When was the last time Lina would ask me that?

For being largely frightened of my appearance until just now, the distance was pretty close.

I also have the sword that I had in place, but it's not pointed at me right now.

Are you used to it already?

That's what I think.

"... I went... and even then, my... frightened, not...?

"No, I'm still totally scared. However, a lot of non-human parts have been hidden… it's okay to manage to get close to this distance"

Well, even if we say it's close, we're still about three steps away.

Is it about the outside of Lina's sword in between?

Around enough distance to cope with anything, I'm pretty sure my vigilance isn't fading.

Still, it was quite progress.

Every time I see Lina acting like that, I think.

After a sudden encounter or eaten by a dragon, I became the boner Skeleton, I'm extremely unlucky objectively, but I can't help but think that what was in Lina was truly unfortunate.

Sure, I might have saved my life, but there's still no such thing as a person who communicates with demons without a sense of preconception so far.

It's still a mystery why this girl is working with me so far, but thankfully, it's a story.

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I still have a lot of things I've bought... you see, shoes and gloves. I knew when you were going to the city, you'd be the first to show off those limbs, wouldn't you?

That's what Lina says, take the shoes and gloves out of the bag and place them on the labyrinth ground.

Both are well tailored in leather.

I can tell that the shades were both still plain and they chose not to be noticeable.

I am very pleased with this.

Anyway, I only asked Lina to buy me some clothes in the first place.

I guess that's why you're only buying robes, I thought.

Yet Lina drew attention to my intentions and bought me something else that seemed to be necessary, considering all sorts of things.

What world do you mean there are girls of my age who pick clothes for demons......

For the first time since I became a demon, I feel like I'm about to cry... No, I can't do that with this body.

Together, wear shoes and gloves securely.

My hands and feet are honestly completely dry, unlike my biological one, so it was subtle to see if they fit snugly tailored for normal human use.

Ultimately, however, both are good because they can be worn.

However, I was forced to fit the shoes by tightly tying them with strings, but the gloves are rash.

Now it seems difficult to hold the sword, a little troubling, but, well, you should only decide to wear it when you go to the city.

"Oh, inside... that's powerful. Kind of like Tsukamato's Wight, isn't it?... Oh, there's also a mirror, what do you say?

Lina said a dialogue like the clerk in some store (like Tsukamato, but whether it would be a compliment or not), then she took the mirror out of the bag, placed it on the ground and lowered it a little.

... Nevertheless, I'm slightly hurt that they won't hand it to me while I keep this close to Frank, but I can't help it...

But don't be really comfortable bringing me to the mirror.

Ever since I became a boner Skeleton, I was concerned because I could only touch and confirm what was going on with my face.

Of course, I knew it wasn't the kind of child-face when I was originally born that would turn twenty-five and be mistaken by teenagers, and not so untrained in my former face.

I didn't have a problem with you looking horrible.

With that in mind, I'll take that metal polished mirror and take a look.

Then there it was...

"... here, this, is..."

Well, generally, you can say as you imagine.

It's the face of a dead body.

Was it a little unexpected that my eyes were falling off and I only had one eye?

So it's a mystery because from my subjectivity it looks like I'm looking at things with both eyes, but, well, it's not a big deal whether you have both eyes or one if you look like this.

Either way, it's a corpse surface.

However, the other unexpected thing was the odd and complex tattoo engraved on its face.

Plus, it's glowing pale blue somehow.

The blurry light was beautiful and something to remember something strange when you look at it.

It didn't feel mysterious, and I didn't think this might have anything to do with why you turned me into a demon.

But more than that, first of all, this is very difficult.

Because if I had something like this, my disguise would be ruined.

In short, it's too conspicuous.

If you just simply have a tattoo. Still, you may not have had to worry about it, but it's the boulders that are flashly emitting so far...

I tried for a while over the mirror to see if I could put on the hood deeply and somehow not see it, but it was like I couldn't improve it.

Speaking of what happened, it was just the birth of the terrible Tsukamato, Wight, whose inside the hood glowed blue.

... No, no.

I'm in trouble.

I don't know what to do!

When I felt that way and started holding my head,

"Oh, yeah, yeah. I didn't ask for this, but I bought it because I was wondering if I could... What do you think?

That's what Lina said, and she took something out of the bag again.

I get a lot of things out of the bags one after the other, but they don't look like bags that much stuff is going to come in...

Is it a magic bag?

No, now that's okay.

It's more what Lina took out than that.

It was a mask.

The whole face is going to hide, it feels horrible like a skeleton, it's a mask.

"... that, is...?

That was a question in the sense of what intent you bought it for, but Lina answers this clearly.

"Mr. Lent, one of these days you'll want to go into the city, and then I thought you'd want to hide that face... and people with faces glowing over boulders aren't going to let me in the city, are they?

Exactly.

Don't be really smart, this kid, and his eyeballs are about to get hot again... but I knew there would be no tears.

It was a mystery if I could cry if I tried, or if I just felt like I could cry somehow.

Anyway, I pick up that mask, purchased by way of example by Lina's care, off the ground where it was placed and close to her face.

The eye area and mouth area are well perforated, and I don't feel like I'm having trouble with my vision.

Can I wear this...

That's what I thought, and for some reason, I felt a tremendous suction from the mask and my face was pulled raggedly.

"... ugh!

A strange voice comes out of my mouth.

And when I realized, the mask was sticking to my face.

"Wow. You look great?

I heard Lina's, strangely energetic weather compliments, and I looked in the mirror, too.

The mirror showed a suspicious sorcerer wearing a skeleton mask.

... Sure, I feel like it suits you.

Well, until the other day, I was actually a bone.

There's no way the bone mask wouldn't suit you.

I think so.

But you did fit in pretty well, though, didn't you?

Can you take it off?

Suddenly such anxiety struck me and I tried to take it off with my hands on the mask.

Then......

"... is off... not..."

"What..."

Lina's voice echoed my words.
