Lesson 66: The Bronze Adventurer and the Lord of the Basement

Evil Accumulation Disease?

I'm just using holy illness, too, a disease that may not be other personnel.

But that wasn't particularly true for what I've been using for a long time.

Maybe it's because the power I originally used was too faint and I can barely resist evil.

I only had about a glass of water to purify and suppress the wound.

Though I didn't or couldn't.

In contrast, Lillian has probably been quite terrible at Holiness.

It felt like I used it a lot to hunt demons too... oh, speaking of which,

"... what about the little one, what was that?

I remember what Lillian said.

"That's convenient, or I'll call an adventurer to collect Dragon Blood Flowers, because if you say so, you'll soon find out about Master Lillian. Sacred chi is the only place you can use it."

"On the basket, don't you understand?

"No. You don't have to ask me to do that for you." Evil Accumulation Syndrome "is nothing. I'm going to die tomorrow, it's not a disease like that, so it's extra. It's a gradual debilitating condition… The healer says that it takes five or ten years for a healthy person to die. Master Lillian could think of replacing other monks and administrators in the meantime."

Tell me you're pretty tough on yourself, or maybe you're a tough guy on your nostalgia.

Well, if you're going to ask an adventurer to collect Dragon Blood Flowers in the first place, you're going to need gold coins if you're normal.

I don't know if I can ask for that, but...

If you think about the orphanage after Lillian is gone, you should still ask for it, but if you have time, you can take turns with the others, which in a way is also a very sensible and annoying way.

I could also understand Alize's story that where she told Lillian the truth, she went into this kind of behavior because she was visible to be opposed.

A monk who lives in the faith of Eastern Heaven is generally a good man, but persuasion doesn't work every now and then.

Like this one… if death were given to you, it would be a heavenly destiny.

Well, Lillian doesn't seem that far away because he thinks we can treat him if he has money.

However, persuasion seems difficult.

You'd better shut up.

But Alize seems to have other concerns.

"... because that's what I'm talking about. Just ask me, what... can you really get me Dragon Blood Flowers? As you said, it's only in the Tarask Swamp around here..."

"Marsh of Talasks" is the marshy (soda) zone, the territory of a mighty demon called Talasks, as the word suggests and as it stands.

And Tarask is a poisonous demon, a fellow subdragon who prefers to live in the swamps, with six legs in a stiff armor.

Being a low-ranking adventurer is like not being opponent, which is why collecting Dragon Blood Flowers is supposedly tough.

Alize seemed to wonder if I could go and come home, which is the only bronze class in a place like that.

Naturally.

But I say.

"... I don't know if it would be easy... but there is a way to do it. It's not like there's so much left."

"Really?"

"Ah. You're always here. I'll get it for you."

"... thanks. I'm counting on you. So, are we going fast?

"No," Nisukuno "is, dude. The same thing over there smells like this. Tomorrow's the day."

If this was Lillian's medical condition competing for a moment, I wouldn't have taken the risk and headed right now, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If you can't do it and go now, it even creates the possibility that you won't be able to come home, so I thought it would be a better choice to have certainty even if it were slightly later than it would be.

"Really? Heh, I knew you were a solid adventurer, even in the bronze class. You know, it's kind of like an expert to know that."

To my words, Alize said that strangely and intriguingly.

That's what bothers me, I ask.

"Perhaps it would be nice to have a blackjack?

"Um, okay? I've been wanting to try it since I was a little girl. Luckily, I have a little magic. However, there are some orphanages... I can't do it for a while. At least until Master Lillian gets better."

According to Lillian's story, the next thing she knows about this orphanage is Alize.

With Lillian being like that, I guess it's hard to do what you want.

If you have magic, it seems unlikely that you'll keep tickling to the bottom like me.

"When you get bogged down, go. It's gonna be one of us."

"... you're really sweet. Well, I don't know when, but I'll let you rely on me then."

That's what Alize said to my words, and she smiled.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Then, for today, I could have gone home, but when I talked to Alize in detail, it seemed true in itself that there was not much to organize because there were demons in the basement of the orphanage, so there was a camouflage to Lillian, and I decided to do it.

Well, demons, that said, most demons that can get into the city, etc. are no big deal.

Regardless of the demon that enters the basement in a special way to turn it into a person or attack it from the sky, the market is largely set.

Under Alizé's guidance in the basement of the orphanage, I enter, and now, I wonder which of the things I expected, I observe inside the basement.

The cool air characteristic of the basement feels terribly good because I am an immortal named Shiki the Corpse Ghost.

You kind of like these dim spots better than before......

Well, that's okay.

"... there you are"

"Huh? Which one?

That's how Alize reacts to my words.

A knife is held in her hand for a uniform protection.

Though it's not a big deal, it's a monster for once.

That's about all I needed.

I point to the corner of the room, I say.

"Look, there he is... that whole thing"

"... oh, that's... that's huge"

There he was, a small demon called a mouse (Petite Suri).

It is a demon that has previously emerged in conversations with Lorraine and is often also used in experimental animal ways.

It's usually a little bigger than a normal rat, about, but it's the guy who was there five times as big as it seems, other than saying Alize is right.

How appropriate is the environment here or what?

The mouse (Petite Suri) noticed us approaching, looked back, and intimidated us.

The pointed front teeth shine as sharply as if that were the knife.

I thought it might have been a failure to bring Alize in, but I put up a knife, too.

Because wielding a sword in this size is tough.

Glad you had a knife for demolition, I guess.

Instead, we need to fight with magic alone, but we don't fall behind as much as mice (petite squirrels) anymore.

"Come on, let's do it"

That's what I said and kicked the hard basement ground towards the mouse (Petite Suri).
