Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

Episode 293: Mouse (after)

My body can be replaced.

The intense body heat is because everything in the body is changing its shape to something new.

It didn't take as long to understand that.

I don't know why this happened or why.

But anyway, you can't die of this.

I have something to protect, and I haven't done anything yet.

In death here, that adventurer...

Time to fight continues.

to pain, fever and pain.

And when you realize...

Oh, I thought.

I think I've changed.

I was connected to the man… the adventurer (…).

The fact may have been an abomination given the unhappiness of the encounter.

But the feelings and memories that flowed by connecting with the man were not necessarily terrible enough to cause hatred to gush.

Sure, the man, the adventurer seems to have come here to exterminate the rats, but that's because the rats are threatening the lives of those living in this building.

I've put this building to bed without really understanding what the hell it is, but I can tell from a man's memory to say that this is a place reserved for children without parents.

I mean, say it's a place made by someone with a similar consciousness, just like a rat protects a mouse child.

If there are external enemies in such a place, naturally, it is natural to try to expel them.

So, for the purpose of that adventurer, no anger arose.

Besides, I can tell by the fact that it also led to a man's personality.

Speaking of adventurers, I've always considered myself a demon-like being with weapons and freshly hunting my people, but the man didn't seem to be.

He seemed like such a man, who definitely made demon hunting his business, but said he never hunted more than he had to, or even missed out on demons that didn't necessarily threaten people's lives.

Of course, on the other hand, there seem to be places that seem to be adventurers who kill out trying to have children, if they perceive it as harmful to people, but if they rarely capture it, they can sell it for a high price, but if they are demons that have no problem leaving it, they don't try to force them down.

Many such memories flow to the rat.

To the man, I don't know if the memory of the rat flowed, but the man also seemed to understand that the rat connected to the man.

I look at each other and look surprised.

But since the will went through without saying anything between each other and conveyed what he was thinking, the rat told him that he had become something to follow the man.

The man has given some instructions to confirm it, so the rat followed it faithfully.

Even so, they are forced to listen to orders, rather than feel like they are being asked to do so by superiors.

I felt that way, like I could say no if I wanted to.

Maybe we can force him to listen, but the man didn't do that.

The first directive of such a man was to protect this basement… the rats were to obey his men's rats and their directives.

Since that day, rat life has changed dramatically.

By becoming a man obedient, the power of the rat increased dramatically.

According to what the man tells us, the rat received the man's blood and became what he called a family member.

As a result, he said the character of existence was increasing and becoming stronger.

In fact, if I was conscious, I felt the immense magic, chi, and sanctity that a man possessed, and the sense that I could use it.

Of course, I can't possibly force you to pull, but unless the man refused, he seemed to.

The rat gets a little power from the man, and then decides to protect the basement, plus put all the mice in the city of Malt under control.

Because I thought it would serve the purpose of a man.

The man seemed to have dreams.

To be far above the top of the adventurer.

To that end, it would be desirable to have all the information available.

Fortunately, if you are a rat, you can enter any part of a human building without realizing it.

You can listen to people's conversations, or you can tell a man about them.

That's all the ability the man gave me.

The other rats have not changed because they remain normal, but their normal willingness to communicate with the rats was fine because they could do so.

Occasionally, we follow the adventure of an adventurer man - named Lent - who also fights with us and packs his combat experience.

The mice were able to reward the immense Talask, the subdragon who fought it, but who would have been killed instantly if before.

Though Lent stabbed him in the stomach, you can assume that he was able to contribute sufficiently as a relative.

I'm sorry I couldn't help myself, but the trust that said I wasn't something I could handle to that extent and the belief that I, the subordinate, should make a special attack first made me do that.

Lent watched such a rat with such an impressionable strange sensation, but he stroked it like he had no choice at the end, so I think it was generally not a bad behavior.

I also got a name.

Edel, that's what it is.

They say a name is a special symbol that people have, that distinguishes them from themselves, but it also makes sense.

It is the name given by the woman of Lent's turn, who says it means the noble.

I see, I have great power in rats.

I'm going to follow every rat in the malt from now on, and I guess that's what prophesies its future too.

I like it.

... In that way, since Lent could follow me, things have been a lot of fun.

Nearly 30% of the rats living in the malt also ruled, and their information networks widened considerably.

From now on, I can make a significant contribution to Lent.

As a relative, the mouse (Petite Suri) got Lent to live.

So we have to work hard to gather as much information as possible......

Rent's interest these days was also in the adventurer Niv, and the vampire Vampire.

They were both noisy and seemed medium difficult to touch, but not for Edel.

We will use our employees well, gather stories from various places, and integrate them.

Then there was what seemed to be the point of view of the men.

At some point, Edel had the power to borrow the sight of his men while they were elsewhere.

Using that power, dive into the labyrinth, a suspicious figure.

I tracked it down, and beyond, I saw something in a robe, biting a bloody adventurer.

"... oh, not a good peek, huh?

Such a voice sounded, and a flame erupted from the hand of the man, and his vision was broken.

That's so much so that the shock can also be transmitted to Edel, who is connected through his vision...

A pain ran on his head, and Edel lost consciousness in the basement of the orphanage.
