Episode 535: Stacked Challenges and Lights

"... inside, I knew it was dark. Keep the lights..."

I have absolutely no problem with this state, but the boulder doesn't have a ribble.

It is dangerous to move forward without even seeing underfoot.

That's what I thought. I take the Magic Bag out of the Magic Prop of the Light and set the little Demon Stone.

Then the light to such an extent as to illuminate the perimeter began to be quietly emitted from the magic prop.

"You're looking pretty good now"

"Ah......"

That's the answer, but the way it looks hasn't changed much for me.

Because it looked just like noon now and until just now.

But I'm not going to tell Ribble about it, so I'm going to snort.

Then I decided to tell Ribble about the handling of the magic props on the lights.

"So far, I'll keep this. When demons come from the front, they'll attack me with caution. But I'll hand it to Ribble when I get into battle. You can't fight with this. Can you ask for it?"

"... is, yes..."

I guess I got a little scared from the info that keeping this would make the demon's attention better.

But I say.

"You don't have to be scared. Basically, you're going to fight with the utmost care so the demons can't get to the source of the ribble. Demons will be guided by the libble, so it will be easier for me to fight. The point is, it's the same as fighting in the village. Even then, Ribble was the only one who fought calmly, so I don't think there's a problem?

How far there really isn't a problem is a subtle thing, but it doesn't have to be too threatening.

He remembered the battle in the village in my story, and Ribble, who was only a little trembling, regained his calm, nodded and answered.

"... right. I think we're good."

"Fine then. Yeah, but you don't really have to. You can run normally if you think I can do it. You don't have to help me."

Because I can't help being offended and doing that.

Although Ribble was relatively calm among the villagers, he would still have a corner of his head about his former father.

When I have to, I never want to abandon it, or something.

It was a dialogue worried about that.

Of course, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not gonna let that happen.

If you're going to lose, I'm going to take Ribble aside and get away with it.

It's totally better than dying if the request fails.

If there's such a thing as a guy who can't win, that's just the story we need to call for backup from Malt.

Even if no one takes it, you'll come if you call Lorraine.

That would do anything.

It's forbidden to do so. That's what I'm saying.

I don't know if Ribble understood that, but for now,

"... Yes. Okay."

That's good because you snorted at me so much, I'm going to move on...

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... whoa, I knew you were here. Apparently, we hit it here...?

There was a sound of Gashagasha and the boner Skeleton advancing from the front.

I handed the magic prop of the light in my hand to Ribble and laid out my sword.

What approached me after a while was two very common bone men who didn't look like they had any kind of industry and had a normal amount of magic to feel.

Well, this much can do anything.

After confirming that there were no other ambushes, I quickly approached the boners, snapped their necks, crushed their skulls and took out the demon stones.

Soon afterwards, the bone man's body loses its junction and collapses squishily.

I was in a vividly determined mood, and the ribble I was watching,

"... wow..."

And I'm kind of happy because he looked at me in a way that touched me.

Naturally, you should be satisfied with this and not be alarmed.

About two boners in the first place, because if you're going to be silver, we won't talk about it unless you can do it this fast...

Still, I'm only fulfilling the minimum as an adventurer.

Don't forget that.

An adventurer who forgets his beginnings is proud or alarmed and loses everything after a moment.

You realize that only after you reach the ship that crosses the river of the underworld.

That makes no sense.

As I plunge the Demon Stone into my magic bag, I receive and say the Magic Prop of the Light from the Ribble.

"It's no big deal. Let's move on."

"Ah, yes..."

While walking, Ribble talks to me to distract the horror.

"... after all, this is where the bone man originates, is it determined by...?

"I don't know. That seems likely... but I can't even say it seems clear yet. It's possible that it happened elsewhere and we were just exploring here."

"... What do boners explore places like this for?

"I guess Goblin used to live there, huh? If it was a goblin's nest again, bone men would attack that stuff too...... Demons don't always get along with each other. Even in the labyrinth, I don't know if it's okay to say that demons fight each other... but sometimes I see them doing that"

It is said that this is why the "Existential Evolution" of demons occurs and grows into the next stage of demons.

Of course not many people have actually met a place like that, but I guess it's not zero.

As for why that happens, after all, no one has figured it out......

Demonic instincts, the rules of the world, or something else...

It bothers me that I don't even think about it and I don't think I understand it, but it is humans who have unraveled such things.

One day, the day may come when I will know.

Or maybe Lorraine will solve it.

With her brains and the rare presence of me... even if I don't say it's the core, there's plenty of potential to reach it so close.

And otherwise I might not be able to go back to people......

I usually try not to think about it, but there are times when I still feel uneasy.

I wonder if I can go back, to people.

Stay like this and stay demonic forever...... no, give me a hundred steps. That would be good.

But I'm afraid that it will degenerate to the spirit and someday become less likely to be an avenging being to people.

If it doesn't, I won't give up even if it stays this way...

I'm afraid you don't know.

There are also the presence of Laura and Isaac, and I wonder how this might not happen right away......

Well, now I'm going to have to work hard and do the trick......
