Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

142. The most dangerous man in the world

The weather was fine there and it was a good day to move my body a little, so I hung around without guessing at the city.

The town of Pindos was still very busy today.

A variety of people came out to me in rough clothes.

So I bought a new product at several stores and found a souvenir for my sister.

"Hmm? Is that... Sofia?

I froze.

Definitely, it was Sofia I saw in front of me.

It is usually a serious and aggressive type of Sofia, but I entered a store with a serious expression that is not comparable to that of others.

"What is that face?"

I was worried about the expression.

Normally I was serious, but I saw Sofia's face one way or the other, and there was something about it that got me nervous.

It's a very serious, determined - no, ready expression.

……

That's what I couldn't miss.

I followed her into the same shop.

When I entered the store, I saw Sofia facing the store owner over the counter.

Sofia didn't turn around, but the shopkeeper looked up at me.

"Welcome. Excuse me, customers, previous customers..."

It's okay, Sophia.

"Oh, Hermes."

I finally made my voice heard and Sofia turned to me.

With a surprised face, she made a trick to hide something on her back that was on the counter.

Her face - like a child whose parents found her playing games - looks like that.

"Well, why are you here?

I saw you by accident.

I didn't dare say that because I looked serious.

I don't know why, but in some cases, if you point out that it seems serious, you may be held up and stop telling the truth.

I pretended not to notice in order to avoid it.

"This is... I see, a store selling magic items"

Let's start from the outside.

Looking around the shop, he went.

It was just normal.

There are many glass showcases with a variety of magic items on display.

Nevertheless, most of the items on display were magic items that I had seen somewhere.

None of this was a substitute for talking.

"Are you here to buy something?

"Yeah, yeah. That's right."

"What? Maybe Sofia came looking for a cure for her youth?

I told her to make fun of me while I brought up my sister.

"No, that's not true."

"Really?--Ha, you want me to take love medicine!?

"That's not true!... already!

Sofia sharpened her lips with a stunned look on the clown.

And she leans away and puts it on the counter - showing her what she hides on her back.

This is it.

"This is...."

Approaching Sofia, I can see what was placed on the counter side by side.

It was a tightly locked, small box.

In a box that felt so profound, I looked at Sofia with my neck bent.

"What's in it?

"Master"

Ah.

The owner nodded, took out the small key, and politely - too politely - unlocked the key.

And open the box.

Inside the box was a meaningful book with considerable decoration.

"Is this... authentic?

Forget to explain it to me, Sophia asked the master.

"It's said to be the original, but I can't say for sure because I don't have the courage to confirm it."

"I see... that's true."

Sofia is convinced by the shopkeeper's explanation.

Without taking the book, she stares at the cover in a box.

What the hell is going on?

I read a book, too.

... this is...

Let me see.

The moment I clearly pointed my consciousness towards the book, I felt something (,,).

I don't know what it is.

But it's not just a book.

I just felt that there was something...

I was interested in the book.

Reach out from the side, take the book and open it.

"Ah...."

Sofia leaked her voice and turned parallax.

Before you understand...

Gatsu!

I felt the illusion of being hit in the head.

It's like a hammer, and it's like being hit sideways.

It's not a big shock because it's about hammer (,,,,,,).

But having such a thing is not just a book after all.

I keep reading with increasing conviction. [M]

Now I read the contents carefully and noticed.

It was written in an ancient language.

I see.

Huh?

"It's a funny story."

The moment I understood the content, my curiosity prevailed.

I don't know if what's written is true, but it's a little interesting so I wanted to try it.

I tried to exercise my magic as it was written in the book.

Something dark appeared at the tip of my hand.

Even though it's in the shop, there's a gap in the window and the lantern shaking lights.

Even such a slight light was sucked into the darkness of something.

After inhaling all the light that existed in space, the human form appeared.

His whole body is black, and his head has goat-like horns.

The upper body was naked and muscular, but the lower body was like a tipped clay.

He looked around us with his calming and snake-like eyes, and then calmed his gaze.

"You, or the one who summoned me."

"I wonder if that's what's going to happen."

"Hmm... I didn't think this was the first young man I've called in hundreds of years."

The one I summoned according to the Magic Book looked down on us with such a grandiose attitude.

"Well, covenants are covenants.It's the little thing that summoned me. "

Hmm?

"Say a wish and let me fulfill up to three wishes."

"Ah... is that so?"

I smiled bitterly.

The magic book said, "I have something to call," but when I called, it was the worst development.

Such stories and fables are written so rotten.

The existence of the call is said to be fulfilled by any wish.

It's a pattern of stories that you must never ride.

Of course, I'm not the one who gets on it.

"That's fine."

I answered instantly and categorically refused.

If it had been a while ago, I might have jumped on this.

Maybe he wanted me to skip and live.

Of course, it's about failure.

I know I'm going to fail, and then I'm going to lower my reputation.

But I won't do it anymore.

I decided not to.

Every time I do that, it keeps ringing "Fail the other way around".

I realize from recent experience that you should avoid deliberately failing.

That's why I said no.

"Are you... mocking me?"

Yes?

"You called me a prank without a wish."

"Er...."

That's right, but... it was air you shouldn't have said.

His snake-like eyes were burning bright red.

If it irritates you any longer... you'll be in a bad state.

That's why I kept nodding ambiguously to avoid irritation.

"I won't allow it. That sin deserves to die."

It seemed too late.

He was cut off, and he hit me pretty hard.

And he sticked his hand out at me.

I flew something.

I didn't see the "something" well.

Just like what came out when I summoned him, I breathed in all the light, so I didn't know what it was.

But, well.

They say it's worth dying for, so it's probably something aggressive.

I let go of my sword.

I pulled out my first sword and cut it off.

It happened quite a while later.

The pickled vegetables of my right hand, thumb and index finger that I cut off were tingling.

"I'm sorry to call you, but you're dangerous."

"Don't let the humans get along!

He got angry and flew something further.

Now it was even darker - something black that looked like the space itself was "gone."

I stepped on it with my feet while cutting it off.

/(adv, adv-to, vs) (on-mim) (on-mim) feeling better/feeling better/feeling better

"Sorry, come back (...)"

Dive into your pocket and flash.

I broke off his guards.

The one whose body broke up in tears up and down.

"I remember that face!"

And he left behind his dialogues and sprayed them.

I may have done something, but I can't help it.

Let's be happy that nothing in particular has happened now.

I put my sword away and turned around.

"I'm sorry, Sophia. I'm sorry, Sophia.

……

……

After turning around, Sofia and the owner were poking.

"Sofia, what's going on?

"Yes, just now...."

Hmm?

"Did you summon him?You summoned him and slashed him with it?

Ah.

I nodded small.

I did it in front of my eyes, so I don't think I can deny it.

So I admitted it honestly.

"Unbelievable, that necronomicon?

"Necro... what?

"Don't you know?It's the most famous and dangerous magic book in the world. "

The store owner said so.

... what?

"The most dangerous magic book in the world?

"Yes, Nechronomycon, people who read are said to go mad without exception. It's a terrible magic book."

……

"Did you read it, summon something, slash it?

……

Mmm-hmm?

Maybe I did something again?

"I can't believe it....."

It was amazing Sofia, but her eyes contained quite a bit of emotion.
