Fourteen Tales [Agate of Mad Hunger]
"I'm glad. I don't know if it's going to rain tomorrow."
With a slight grin, Dino called out to the demons in the air.
If you're no longer interested in a demonic man or something that rolls at your feet, get off the foot you were stepping on.
"But think about what it's like to be told you hate me the most."
"... then you should at least remember the word add or subtract from your fellow countrymen. It makes me sick to watch."
Aruba, a demonic woman riding on Griffon's back, replied in a cold voice.
As Aruba descends from the horseman and glances at the man crawling to the ground, the man leaves to flee at will.
"To add, I don't like hobbies that are more painful and enjoyable than necessary, even for people other than my own."
Dino is a demon, and Alba is a demon.
It's only natural to fight a race in hostilities, and I don't hate to kill them if I have to.
But Dino's way was nothing but brutality among such demons.
There are many more robust fortifications at the border with the Suvenese Empire in the north than here, but there have been times when the captured little children have been torn apart in front of the fortifications in order to attract a man who shuts the gates firmly.
He also played and burned down the small villages around it in half.
"Fear and anguish are good spices... so what can I do for you? Are you finally ready to be mine?
Aruba lives in an area far west of here, but is a determined opponent regardless of his will in order to marry powerful demons and create more powerful individuals - that is Dino.
"Don't joke. I just came to see how my spear and bow were doing because this one has a well-armed blacksmith. On the way home, I just happened to see an extra sight in my eyes"
"Heh, yeah. By the way... you said you were going into the fort alone the other day. If you want to destroy your engagement, I told you to destroy the people who live in the north, but I never really thought you'd go in there alone. That's what makes it so extra."
Dino, with a peppered tongue, took a slow look from Aruba's face to his toes.
Even with such a sticky gaze, she responds to temperament.
"Guess I don't like it that much."
"Fuck, yeah. But, well, even you couldn't. The forts are quite troublesome."
"Oh...... right"
To some badly toothed reply, Dino gave a look of surprise.
"You can't be intact. Even Griffon there is an excellent horseman, but he won't be safe if he hits an arrow released from a large crossbow. You... were good at healing magic?
Aruba specializes in fire magic and wind magic, but can't handle water and light attributes that are suitable for healing magic.
Dino knows that, too.
"... don't ask me what I know"
"Right. I heard that your body back there had marks of treatment, didn't it? You went in there by yourself, who the hell did you ask to be treated? No way. You didn't get people to pity you, did you?
(this guy...... where did you get that info from)
Alba, disgusted by the persistent interrogation, calms her mood as she strokes the rider Griffon - Luna's neck.
"Nothing would mean that magic is the only means of treatment. Have a cure… some hands can contain healing magic in a white demon crystal that can contain magic"
"Right. Well, the White Devil crystal you always had... let me see it."
"That's a shame. I don't have it now."
That, I gave it to that boy.
As a thank you for treating Luna, I gave it to the boy who crossed his sword in the wetlands.
As promised to the boy, I didn't tell anyone about that time.
It's a disgrace just to say it was in return for attacking the fort, but if it was defeated by just one human boy, it would be a good laugh.
No, it's still good if you're the only one laughing... it'll even bother my father who brings together many demons.
"I don't have it, do I? That's weird. Isn't that a valuable means of recovery?
"... you hate guys prying. Why don't you put him in a state where he needs medical attention, too?
Intimidating signs similar to the killing intensified, and Dino, who was surprised, loosened his expression there as well.
"Well, don't be so angry. Because it's only beautiful on the outside, but I don't think so."
A hand that tries to stroke Alba's silver sandy long hair is passingly paid the moment it is touched.
"You should learn a little more about compliments to women."
Nothing more to talk about, and behind her trying to ride Luna, a disgusting whisper rose.
"Ku, Hiha... Jeopardy, Jeopardy... I couldn't finish eating a knob."
"You... say what..."
"Ho... that sounds like a pretty busy kid. Take a woman with you. Hmm?... this guy... right... I see. This is getting interesting."
Dino talks to himself as he drifts his eyes into the universe.
"Ha ha! Nevertheless, I exchanged terms in front of Aruba. How dare you? Oh, you want to get up even if they pierce your stomach... you're a man. Hmm? Oh, come on... seriously, isn't this a mess"
Whenever I hear what I'm talking about, the rush color increases on Aruba's face.
(No way...... stupid!? No one knows about that time...... no way this guy!
Alba doesn't like Dino, but he doesn't take the power of this man lightly.
Dino can somehow use some of the eater's abilities.
Eat the meat of a demon with a sharp fang, and take that fang.
If you eat meat from a demon with super vision, take those eyes.
If you eat the meat of a dragon species with hard scales, take the scales.
There are indeed demonic meats suitable for consumption, but in this man's case the purpose of 'eating' is not only to fill his belly.
Some demons have a look close to demons, but this man is even more heterogeneous among them - the way he's deforming his own body for combat, etc., is just a monster.
But that's when you eat the other person's meat.
Naturally, there are no injuries like that anywhere in her body.
I just got a little touch of my hair and forehead.
"Hahaha. You sound surprised! Well, you know, there's nothing to hide between a couple."
"Are you... eating some of my memories?"
She manages to hold back the agony that erodes her heart, and she opens her mouth.
The opposing Dino apparently finished looking at his stolen memories and responded in an excited tone.
"Your Answer"
"... you're hiding something."
I don't want to be a husband and wife.
"That said, I've been able to do this lately. I used to go to the fort to cool them down, and I finally attacked the village of the Beastman on the way and killed them all, but there was a woman who was quite toothworthy. Well, he wasn't my enemy, so I halved him."
Dino, who does not hide his lowliness, tells an interesting account of the situation at the time.
"Even at the time of death, I was worried if it could be funny because he said, 'If my family is safe, that's fine' or something like bug spit runs. Then... my body moved naturally. I felt it. If it's so important to eagle the woman's head and do it with her family, have those happy memories and do it - like 'eat it'! And."
"... he's a bad taste"
Aruba, disgusted, leaked his candid thoughts, but Dino keeps talking like he cared.
"That was delicious. The face of a woman who is a pocan after her memory is eaten is a good dessert, if you can imagine. Well, after watching for a while, I threw the shell away."
Dino, who had been laughing with his belly for a while about what was so funny, lowers his voice a little bit when he realizes the cold gaze he sees himself.
"Well, don't stare so much. That was just a knob eater. It's not like your memories disappeared, is it? Still, it sounds like a lot of interesting things happened after we broke into the fort."
Dino, who devoured part of his memory from Aruba, once again brings the heat of excitement.
"... is it that funny that I got behind on a human boy? If I kill you here and now, can I stop that deafening voice?
Full of venues is intent to kill.
Aruba is serious.
If you say one more word that will inspire her, the spear will wave relentlessly toward Dino.
"Well, you're so excited. Kuck...... but you wouldn't have a hand in leaving such an interesting looking kid alone. I just imagined what 'flavor' would do and I can't stop coveting. Hey. Oh... I'm getting so excited about it."
◇◇◇◆◆◆◇◇◇
- In the city of Melbail, Adventurer's Guild.
"Sorry!
'I'm sorry!
Me and Lyme next door were bowing their heads in the room behind the guild.
Because, of course, I annoyed you all with the Lime case in this prime.
"I see what's going on. If I were you, I should consider demoting your rank... because I've bothered you with a request from the Leruno Chamber of Commerce before. What about the write-off in this case?
The guild chief that he was Grandpa Mon's son said such a suggestion.
Grandpa Mon put out a help boat when we talked about the situation, and apparently he's going to be spared demotion.
If a misconduct was committed when applying for Rank A promotion, there is also the possibility that the promotion could be revoked, and it is not to be told that it was frightening inside.
Thus the disposition from the Alliance became unquestionable, but they said they would pay some money to the annoying adventurer party because of the compensation.
The reward from Tiamo moisturizes the inside of my wallet, and if I say this, I may be offended that I don't have enough color for reflection, but I still think money is important.
"And then... what about the prism slime there, but the adventurers will be on guard for a while, so you'd better consider a lot of things"
Here at the Adventurer's Guild in Melbail, the prism slime of the Powdal Wetlands was a little rumor. Some adventurers would be gnawed if they saw Lime.
In fact, even before I got here, Lime brought me in a cloth wrapped.
Well, even tomorrow we're leaving Melbail, so I don't have to worry too much about it.
'Um... me, you're annoying your husband when you look like this'
Lyme, who was stuck on the floor bitterly to apologize, looked up all the time.
"Hmm... well, you don't have to worry about it. I'll be back in my home soon anyway."
'No... I will try'
Huh? What?
Before asking back, Lime's body deformed into gnarly.
Separated from the bad balls, the lime, which was now about the size of one human being, becomes even smaller as if it were to be compressed even more gnarly.
The next thing you know, something like a limb appears, and when it swells, it grows bigger.
Dude... is this... is this just anthropomorphism!?
Is this what he said if he was big enough to figure it out?!?
I'm starting to get tense! Higana.
…………
……
"What...?
What appeared in front of me some time later was a lovely creature whose hands and feet had grown a little from the Sphere of Mandarin.
Even when it comes to hands and feet, it is not as intricately built as human hands and feet, but a deformation style as if clay had been pinched and stretched.
No, she's really cute. It's definitely healing to watch.
But... I was wondering if it's different from what I thought, yeah.
'Look, your husband. Even the colors are free to change, see!
Probably ex-magic...... that also uses light magic to change the color of the body's surface.
I moved my hands and feet slightly out of my body, and when I saw the lime coming this way, I decided to let them share my honest thoughts.
"Yeah...... something already, you can do anything if you're cute! My nose is bleeding!
