Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Episode 272

The next day, the boat we carried departed from the fishing city of Lozzo.

The pure white sails receive the wind, and the bow cuts off the waves.

"It's easy to get there if you're sitting."

I laugh at the deck while watching the waves.

This time, there are only those who are not seasick, so there is no need to worry about being treated like before.

The ship travels along the land, but the land seen from here is like a Tottori dune. There is only sand. The wind is strong or blurred by dust.

"It's a wind-desert."

Mao noticed my gaze, staring at the land.

"It's a great desert that existed long ago when the country of Wa was formed, long before the Milaldia Alliance was formed."

Mao is from the country of Wa and is a man who has traveled all the way to Milardia.

"Have you crossed the desert?"

"No way. The Wind Desert is a place where giant sand insects and other unfamiliar monsters appear. Only safe caravans know the safe route and never tell business enemies."

"Well then a boat?"

"Yes, almost stowaway ... helped by a kind sailor. After that it was hard again."

Mao whispered deeply and sighed, reminiscent of the past.

"Thanks to this, we have learned that it is difficult to distinguish between trustworthy and untrustworthy people. More specifically, it is human beings that suddenly lose their trust one day."

"I understand well."

I have a previous life, and I myself have made many mistakes that lose the trust of others.

Maybe this world has made such mistakes many times without realizing it.

Mao looks at me and smiles at me.

"Do you believe that Mr. Weid will not hand me over to Tamon-in?"

"What about that? I'm not hesitant if I can proceed diplomacy with Wa country at the expense of you."

I grin grin too.

Mao laughed and turned back.

"I'll do my best to help you let me go, so I'm sorry. We'll show you a long-established fresh fish dish when you arrive in Tokyo."

"I'm in trouble, I can't hand you over to Tamonin ..."

After I was disturbed by the playful tone, Mao and I laughed looking sideways.

It's really villainy and fun.

A boat heading east, looking to the wind ripple desert to the left.

I was a little worried about the appearance of a monster like an island octopus, but it seems okay since I eliminated one last year. We'll have to get rid of it again soon, so we have to get ready.

A few days later, the ship enters the territorial waters of Wa country and arrives at the port.

It is finally a country.

But upon arrival I was a little disappointed.

Certainly, the country of Wa was a country full of Japanese taste. People are dressed much like kimonos, and the streets are tiled in wooden houses. Even if I was Japanese, I think, "Oh, it looks like Japan."

However, Japan is a civilized cityscape of the Edo period. However, since I have never seen a true Edo period cityscape, it is an impression compared to a set of historical drama.

Anyway, this is Japan from the Edo period.

This means that the country has not developed at all since then.

If there is a modern incarnated person, it is safe to change more.

However, the city of Lünheit, where I am, is like an old tourist destination in Europe, and it may be disappointing quickly.

With that in mind, I got off with the party.

"I'm nostalgic ... this is Naguie. It's like Lozzo. I also make salt."

Mao says so with a slightly happy face.

Fumino looked back at me.

"There is a way to go to the city by sea as it is, but it will be affected by the weather and it will make a large detour. It will take about two days to walk to the city, so let's go by land as planned"

"Oh, I understand. Can you ask for accommodation and horses?"

"Yes, please leave me"

Fumino smiles.

When it comes to missions, interests tend to be conflicting, but they are basically good people.

In the country of Wa, the words of the Old Dynasty are used directly.

I and Parker are sorcerers under Gomoviroa, so I can talk to some extent, but the werewolf corps can't speak at all.

We decided to wait at the wharf because we don't need any trouble.

Legs, sailors, and merchants busy loading and unloading cargo. Fishing boats are coming and going.

A lively city.

I feel like I'm lost in a historical drama set.

At that time, I felt the signs of people approaching quietly from behind.

I watched reflexively and moved half a step back and looked back.

"Oops ... I'm sorry."

It is a young man in a kimono who is embarrassed and smiling.

This guy doesn't smell bad.

The smell of trying to deceive others.

Did the man notice my glance, bowed away and hurriedly left?

Perhaps because he was too panic, he ran into Mao.

At that moment, Mao stepped down.

"Huh!"

what?

At that moment, my visual acuity accelerates reflexively and captures Mao's hand movements.

Mao grabbed the man's right wrist, twisted and stepped on, pushing up.

`` Uguwa !? ''

The man screams, but his wrists and elbows are so extreme that he can only move his shoulders.

As a result of trying to relieve Mao's power at his shoulder joint, the man turned over from himself without cessation.

I'm not sure, but it's like Aikido.

"Oh, what is it?"

Grandfather Wod, sitting on a wooden box, stands up slowly, but with the light of struggle shining in his eyes.

By that time, Mao had completely seized the man.

"Weid-sama, this pickpocket. I was trying to steal my wallet."

"So that's it"

Certainly, I was doing a strange move against me.

What he has in his right hand is Mao's wallet.

This pickpocket must have been aimed at a foreigner. But the opponent was bad.

"Hold the werewolf squad, arrest this guy. If you want to escape, you can use only one limb."

`` Hi! ''

A pickpocket that has been surrounded and turned blue.

Soon, port officials rushed in and Nagie's guards took pickpockets.

Apparently an addicted criminal, but since he aimed at messengers from other countries, officials promised that severe punishment would be given this time.

In that sense, my opponent was bad.

I was more interested in Mao's technique.

"Mao, what's your current skill?"

"Huh? Is that about Kogsok?"

Small feet?

According to Mao's explanation, he used a martial art of Wah, which is called "small foot art."

"Foot feet" are armor helmets, and "small feet" are armor details such as backs.

"Like Milardia, on the battlefield, heavy armored warriors will settle and settle. Is that the trick to use?"

From the base battlefield "footing technique", only the techniques that are easy to use and do not cause fatal injuries are extracted and improved. Is it a simplified version?

"Why are you a merchant?"

"I learned in the town dojo. I use it to catch thieves and drunks.

"got it"

"It's a good technique for merchants because it's a technique that originally breaks down an opponent. If you hit the opponent, the nearby goods will be broken."

Originally a technique used by armor warriors to save their lives, it seems to be a convenient technique for merchants.

Even so, this is a technique that makes the atmosphere of the past life feel deep.

"I want to learn a little. Where can I learn?"

"Do you learn a werewolf? Would you be able to tear off your entire arm without this trick?"

"Okay, but ..."

I want to know the relationship with the previous life, but there are other ways to use it.

"The technique of capturing an opponent without killing it will become more and more necessary in the future if peace is attained. If a warrior fulfills his duties outside of the battlefield, wouldn't he be indiscriminately killing him?"

"I see, that's it."

Look at me as Mao was impressed, but don't be so impressed because that's half the reason.

"There are dojo arts dojos in every town, but I studied here in Naguier. Will you guide me after lunch?"

"Oh, that's just right. I want to see a little bit of the city."

Sounds interesting, let's take a short trip.
