Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

13: Machia, thanks for the annoying mysterious kindness.

"Where the hell is Perselis trying to go?

Thor was standing face to face as he ran through the town.

Because the light that shows Perselis moves that way.

"You're fluttering."

"Is this, like, lost or something?"

Then that's reassuring in a way.

Being a green witch is worth kidnapping enough, so I was wondering if you were kidnapped by anti-East factions or anything around there.

Choose an unpopular path around the corner and avoid the crowd as you go down the crowded shopping corridor.

"Lepis!! There you are!! You have fast legs so go ahead and look for Perselis!!

When I turned to the one above where Lepis seemed to be, Tor copied the cube on the back of his hand to the other and threw it over the sky.

Then a black shadow seemed to flow with the hum between the high roof and the roof, and Lepis seemed to have received the cube.

Copy that, sir.

When she said that with no expression as usual, she went away across the square translucent scaffolding she had built under her feet, becoming a black shadow with Hyun again.

"Thor, you can go first."

"No... Lepis is faster anyway"

"Really?

"Oh, his spatial magic is a little different from mine.... or should I say the magic of Twilight now? Naturally, I have more magic and a lot of repertoires of the Magic Fortress, but some of the magic of the Twilight guys is evolving from my time. I guess I'll be taught next time..."

"That's what it is."

Check where Perselis is everywhere as he kicks and runs on the blue-grey ground.

That's when we heard screams from somewhere and we stopped.

……

There was a crowd at the glasses bridge down the mall corridor.

There seems to be a member of the Demon Knights of the Royal Palace.

"No way, another“ esca "guy..."

We looked down at the bridge.

"... wow"

The first thing on my nose was the odor. I accidentally suppressed my nose with the sleeve of my dress.

Apparently, the body was found under the bridge. The soldiers of the royal palace are pulling up the body wrapped in cloth.

"Hey Tor...... Miss Machia too"

"Mr. Melvis."

With short hair, Mr. Melvis, a witch knight in armor, seemed to notice us.

It's him again.

"No... that card hasn't been placed this time. How odd. A resident who woke up earlier this morning with an explosion sounded like he found a burnt body here. It's different from previous M.O. 's, so maybe it's separate from Eska's case. And..."

"What's wrong, Melvis?

"That... you don't really think it belongs to people... I can't tell by the blackness of my whole body, because the body was big and my legs looked like beast's."

…………

Thor is sensitive to recent incidents here and has wrinkled even more between his eyebrows after hearing this story.

But we can't be stopping here, so I'll pull Thor's arm clothes.

"Hey, we're looking for Perselis right now... let's leave this place to the Knights of the Devil's Guide"

"...... right. If Perselis gets involved in an Esca-related case, it's tough."

It was when we turned our backs on the bridge crowd and followed Perselis into the alley again.

I felt my gaze from somewhere.

Lurk your breath and stand still as if to hide the signs. But he's definitely looking at us.

…………

I looked back and flushed my gaze around, but there's no one in the alley with few people. You look small on the other side, you just see a little flow of people on the street.

"Somebody's watching."

"... Yep"

The moment Tor and I checked each other out that way, I felt a proximity that poked me in a straight line from a completely different direction than I felt my gaze in, and I looked back.

"Machia!!

Thor pushes me towards the wall, pulls out the sword and plays it.

It was a blunt silver knife that just fell to the ground with the karan and the metal noise.

"... whoa."

I hit the wall as much as I wanted. I grabbed my left arm and put the system in place.

Well, it's better than getting pierced by a knife.

"You're an esca!!

Thor was raising his voice and staring at the diagonal one, so I look up at the same one.

Then there was a man in a mysterious hood, dressed in black bulletproof chocks, standing on the roof of a private house.

In a royal manner.

"... wow"

Why not? My voice is out.

"Hey, Counselor Sorcerer... it's too late for one or two legs."

"You...... did you do that burnt body!!

"Oh yeah. Because you're incompetent. Work hard, you tax thief."

I can't see my face, but from the low unstable voice and tone, what to say or say.

I can't get the information because I don't know the definitive name, but I also know that Thor strangely cares about the existence of this “esca”.

You're crunchy somewhere, and I don't even feel like I can take you down easily.

I'm very curious what to say. Will his magic make him do that?

Esca jumps off the roof, says "10.00" and lands undisturbed.

"Until now, the scattered" they ”have eaten this king's man. Yet when I come with you guys, I always discover slower than I do. Are you motivated, Cora?"

………

"You... what are you talking about?"

"What? What... weren't you guys exploring the case before? I've always kept my cards."

…………

That... I'm not having some kind of conversation mesh.

Thor kept his sword in place and narrowed his eyes.

"That's right. I was looking into the bodies of those you killed scattered, and I was following the case. And yet when I come with you, you always show up from me. Are you nuts, Cora?

He seems to have cut back on what Eska said earlier, but Eska is kind of a strange reaction.

"............ what?

"... what, that reaction"

He obviously leaned his neck.

I don't see your face, but your mouth is pompous.

I asked a few questions from the thought of "hey".

"... didn't you make the murders you've been in?

"Machia!? What are you..."

"Ahhhhhhh!? Of course!! Kill me but a sinner.

………

…………

Yes.

I finally see the unmeshed part of our conversation with each other.

"You're kidding!!

Thor waves his sword forward and is very outraged.

Though I can't help it.

"Then what the hell are the cards so far!! I don't care what you think, it's a crime statement!!

"Who drew“ I did it ”!! Oh!?"

"Don't be ridiculous, Taco!!

"Out of heart!! He was about to impersonate an innocent man. I'll sue him."

The two repeat meaningless curses as if they were junior high school exchanges.

I am the only third party.

I'll sort it out a bit.

Strange murders that have been occurring here in Wang Du lately. There were always “turtle fancy cards” left at the scene.

It was decided that a medium and morbid embarrassing message was written, and the Knights of Magic, including Thor, who was investigating it, assumed that the culprit in the case was the "Esca”, the lord of the cards.

Here is what Thor and Eska say.

No matter how you look at it, it is Tor's statement that it is a crime statement. I understand.

It doesn't say I did it, that's what Eska said. Well, it certainly was. Because it only contained a mediumsidiopathic message that seemed pointless.

Then why would Eska say she left such a card?

If he didn't do it in person, where was the point of leaving such a card?

"Then why did you leave those cards at the scene?

I turned my face slightly towards the big men who were still cursing each other, and asked the example Eska.

When Eska looks at me, she's a little pompous again, thinking about something.

"It's... er..."

When he was clouding his words like they didn't, he heard from somewhere.

Very cute girl's, laughing.

"Esca just wanted to brag that she came to that place faster. This prey belongs to me. He was going to give you a tip for once... but it's all right, yo. That's why I stood out for you at dusk."

It also made no sense that I was kicking around, and that girl stood secluded next to me.

Girl with a young appearance and a big black box on her back. I'm wearing an east-wind decorative hat.

"Tarta!! Don't you come out... no way!!

"You're the only one who thinks so, yo. You're always speechless and easily misunderstood. Plus, I'm totally thankful I made you think it was you."

The girl who seems to say Tarta has a very strange atmosphere and eyes even though she hates it, and somewhere she feels uncomfortable with its existence.

How hard to put into words, not even I know it well. Even though I look like a child, I feel intimidated like my mother if I were to analogize.

"Are you..."

"Nice to meet you, bright red witch"

She gently runs up to the next door to Eska as she carries a big box that looks heavy and circles around.

"I am one of the Great Quartet Spirits, the Black Sea Turtle's" Blactata. "I have a contract with this man."

"The Great Quartet... the Spirit..."

To that word, me and Thor were surprised and looked at each other.

I've heard of it.

When there is a spirit called the “Divine Beast” of the Four Bodies, completely separate from the 100 Spirits of the White Sage.

Two thousand years ago, its existence was like a legend, with the Great Quadrilateral Spirit supposedly sealed somewhere.

The White Sage cared about its existence, but never knew where it was sealed until the end.

"No way... why not... you spirits who couldn't even get your hands on the white sage..."

As you say it's incredible, Thor keeps his sword up and he doesn't fail to be alert to the other spirits.

I think now I know what he said about the discomfort he felt when he fought previously.

We are going to know the various spirits, but this is the first being and power we have felt when it comes to the Great Quadrilateral Spirit.

A stream of magic that turns out to be separate from the spirits of Ulysses. Presence.

They stimulate our nerves, our magic, unresponsive.
