Has Durahan and Arakune formed an alliance?

Well, I don't know what alliance you made, but that's not the problem.

The apostle's words were the way he came to lead me into the Arakunes.

And aren't Durahan's messengers too well timed?

It was as if I had come in anticipation of reaching this castle.

When I thought about it, a Durahan messenger told me.

"The Arakunes, contrary to that appearance, are agile in their movements. And I specialize in spying."

With that said, there was a scene in a comic book I read in my previous life where Arakune was using yarn to eavesdrop.

Is that how you were exploring our moves?

"How did you explore our movements?

Don't you understand, Mr. Rooty? So, what about Mr. Carmilla?

If you think so, you seem to have the same idea as Mr. Rooty to look at his face.

Hmm. Don't you know that yarn vibrates and picks up sound?

"Let me keep that a secret. If you insist, let me just say what the Arakunes are capable of."

"Didn't you just pick up the sound with yarn?

When I said that, they all looked surprised.

Well, I don't know who's wearing the mask, but it gave me an atmosphere of surprise somehow.

"Yarn? Sure, the Arakunes yarn out. But how do you pick up the sound with such a thin object?

That's what Arian says.

All but the masked snorted at the words.

"Pick up the vibrations with yarn."

"Vibration? You'll tremble. Does your voice have anything to do with vibration?

"A voice is a vibration emitted from a vocal organ in an animal. So if you can pick up the vibration with thread, you can do it."

……………………

They all looked like they didn't know what it meant.

Uh-huh. Was it a little too professional?

Looks like you should chew it up a little more and say it.

"The journey. I mean, you wanted me to say that I let you pick up a vibration called voice with the Arakune thread."

"Yes, you're right."

Is that possible?

Mr. Carmilla asked me.

"I can do it. I just wanted to show you an example, but I don't know if there's anything there."

I think so, and I'll see if I can find anything.

"How about this?

Someone in the mask gave me two metal tubes.

All right. It's like yarn after.

"That's right. Arian."

"Yes."

"Can you put magic in your hair and be hard?

"I can."

"Well, I wonder if you'll do that"

I wonder why Arian would do that, while taking a bottle of his own hair and putting magic into it.

The magical hair straightened out like a pin of wire.

Stick that hair into a metal tube.

"Carmilla, take this tube and hit me in the ear"

"Yes."

Ms. Carmilla, as she was told, put a metal tube in her ear.

I took a metal tube and moved away a little. And put your mouth on the metal pipe.

"Hello."

Say it with such a loud voice that it can only be heard in a metal tube.

⁉⁉

I'm surprised to hear my voice from the metal tube, Mr. Carmilla.

Is that so surprising?

I saw Mr. Carmilla's reaction and everyone looked intrigued, so I put that metal tube in my ear instead.

The Durahan people had their helmets on, so they took them off once.

I saw your face then, but you all looked blue and white. It's like, a dead man.

Does that mean that Durahan should be considered dead?

Well, is it too soon to draw that conclusion?

When we all finished listening, we listened to each other again.

"So, is it okay if we go inside that Arakune tribe?

"Yeah, that's what our chiefs want."

"Okay. Now, I'd like some guidance."

Thus, the next destination was decided.

To the boulder, it's too late to go outside today. It's time for the night.

I stayed at this castle today, and I'm leaving tomorrow, so the conversation got rounded up.

So, we were led to the guest room and Durahan and the others to a separate room.

That night.

After dinner, I was walking alone in the castle, and there was someone there.

That's a masked man.

Hmm. We met here, too, on the edge of something. Let's say we deepen our rapport.

I think so, I go under the mask.

"Evening."

When I greeted him, he looked at me with that voice.

The masked man says nothing, only bows his head.

"I'd like to talk to you for a second, okay?

"I don't mind. I just wanted to talk to you."

Talk to me. Is there something there?

"What are the chiefs of your tribe like?

Talk to a different species. If you don't know that much about the characteristics, customs, etc. of that tribe, it's hard to talk.

How did Durahan chiefs talk to Arakune chiefs?

"I am the messenger."

"Oh, yeah."

"I know a little about the Arakunes."

"Really?"

"Yes, my old master was very interested in Arakune.

"Fae race?

"He was human."

Was it? Well, this guy's probably dead, too, and he's talking about someone he served a long time ago.

"What was he like?

"He was a great man. He was attractive enough to serve even when he was reborn."

Ha ha, you're talking about something like a volleyfore.

"May I also ask you this?

"Go ahead."

"Did you know there's a big continent a few months west?

Of course.

Whatever, it's a continent I've been on in my last life.

"So there was a man named Inota N. von Turbuxon."

Oh, that's my full name in this world.

N is the N of Shinkan.

"He was wonderful. He added himself, the dead, to his subordination, even though his surroundings opposed him."

With that said, you've been opposed to your surroundings.

Usually, I disagree with even Volleyford, who affirms everything in my opinion.

Well, in the end, I withdrew all of that opinion and handed it down.

"The depth of the measure of listening to people, whilst having the charm to add to one's subordination, whatever one may be. Now, the decisiveness and the action that we take to be decisive when we're here. Now, in retrospect, he was wonderful."

Ugh, tell me about your last life, it's a little embarrassing to be praised in front of you.

"And I'm glad it stays the same, even if it's reincarnated"

Hey, not so much. So, uh ⁉

The masked man turned to me and knelt.

"Subordinate, Lishmond. My lord again."

That said, the masked man who named himself Lishmond removed his mask.

The face removed from the mask was a skeleton.

A blue-white flame was shaking around the orbit.

"Lishmond, eh ⁉ is that you?

Unexpectedly, the vegetables came out.

Lishmond. That's the name of the "Dead Shadow" of the Ten Jie People who served me.

And I was surprised there, too, but I might hear what you're saying.

"Do you understand me?

"Yes. We dead can see the colour of our souls. Your soul was the same colorless as it was before you were reincarnated, so I know extra."

I've never heard that before.

"Lishmond"

"Again, I'm glad to see it written in your eyes. My lord."

Lishmond bowed his head to me deeply.
