Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

Two days after Radolph's departure, the city has become the usual landscape.

Kosuke was in the mood to take an exorcism request from today as well.

Get ready to go out, say hello to Sidi and leave the inn. Rendezvous with Wiale at the usual meeting point and head to the guild.

As the two of us were looking for work, Kosuke was lightly slapped in the back. Looking back at who it might be, there it is.

"Mr. Ellis?

I haven't seen him in about a month, Ellis stood.

Yusuke somehow realizes that the atmosphere she can feel from Ellis is changing. It feels closer to standing and intimate. Maybe it's my fault.

"I'm picking you up."

"Have you finished your errands over there?

"No, it's not over. That's what I need you to do.

Why don't you get your travel ready? Let's go together. "

It wasn't Kosuke who responded to the invitation, it was Wiale.

"Mr. Koske, are you going on a journey?

"You will. It was originally decided.

Will Wiale come with us? I've been over there sightseeing and stuff, and I guess I won't be able to come back for a while.

Right, Mr. Ellis? "

"Right. You won't be back in a week or a month.

By the way, I need to ask you one thing. "

Ask with a slight mix of tension in the tone. It was really a small amount of emotion, so Kosuke doesn't notice. Even if I noticed, I don't know why I'm nervous. Because the cause is what happens in the future for Kosuke, you can't possibly understand it.

"What kind of relationship do you have with that daughter?

"I'd like you to meet me, too."

Kosuke thought he heard the sound of the two gaze together and a small spark scattered with patchouli.

"This is Mr. Ellis. Someone I take care of a lot. Mostly they teach me magic and knowledge.

This is Wiale. I live in this city, and we act together because of circumstances. And you know my title. "

"... did you talk to him?

Ellis' atmosphere and expression become something serious.

Yusuke shakes his head to the side.

"He's got a gift to know a person's title."

"Say what my title is."

To make sure it's true, Ellis asks Wiale.

Ellis is famous and his name is widely known. But I haven't made a noticeable move on the chronological stage in the last decade, so the average person doesn't know my face. I'm not going to be judged on the title from there, and I'm going to admit it's real if I can win the title with it.

"Excellent Witch"

Wiale uses gifts and makes them easy to describe. Put it in words, one-tempo, and I was surprised by my own words.

"Excellent witch!? Isn't that a thousand kills overnight!?

"A thousand kills a night? What's that?"

Kosuke tilted his neck at the first word he heard. They say it's the planet and they think it's going to be made fun of.

"I miss you again. It's two things I've come up with. Who'd you ask?

"When your father was a former adventurer and heard about the time. He said he was on the spot, and he still remembers it."

"One of those adventurers who was there, it wouldn't be strange to know that."

Kosuke asks Ellis again how convinced he is.

"Oh, I'm sorry.

Thousand kills a night are two names I was given around the middle of the thirties.

There was an incident where a group of demons attacked a city about a month from here. Because I killed the vast majority of those demons by myself, it became known as a thousand kills overnight, meaning that I killed many demons overnight.

The quality of the demon was not high in itself, so it's not a craftsman. "

Ellis' eyes, saying so, are narrowed in nostalgia.

"I hear the adventurers, who were on the spot with a large number, were getting weak.

In the meantime, it was Eliseal who stood up to the city by herself.

This incident prompted Mr. Eliseer to expand his name. "

"Wow."

Yusuke sees Ellis as respectful in the face of an overwhelming quantity of demons to protect him.

Ellis took that gaze with a bitter smile.

"Actually, it's not that cool.

I just wanted to get violent and stressed out. There were no shards of emotions like protecting the city. "

"... Really?

Ellis nods unmistakably at the bewildered look of Wiale.

"Because it was rough back then"

"I guess the demons are just unlucky and the people who lived in the city were lucky"

"Right. It's an interpretation."

"... I can't talk to your father"

Way has feelings of respect for Ellis, who defended the city. I was just listening, but the sentiment was conveying so much.

Yet the fact that he was not willing to protect the person who became him was discovered all the more simply because he was supposed to protect it as a result. Wiale decided that she shouldn't know this, and decided to stay behind her heart to protect her fantasies.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't seem false in the gift of seeing the title.

Don't talk to anyone, okay?

"Yes! I won't talk. Mr. Bordos is also pushing me to be careful about that!

"Why did Bordos stop me?"

"With a mild threat. Bordos stopped me once."

"Are you all right?

"Hey, hey, hey, hey"

I'm saying it like some other HR, but I believe he won't talk. Wiale and I have a short relationship. Enough to decide it was enough to believe.

"It's okay! I only spoke to you once! I haven't failed since."

"Don't you really mess with me, do you? Because it's going to be hard.

If I put it in my mouth, I'll make it painful. Let's do some magic. "

Wiale backs off momentum and shakes her neck to the side many times.

"I don't use magic at the moment, but if there's anything I can do about it, I won't hesitate to use it?

Remember the liver?

"Yes!"

Actually, I'm not willing to use it, I guess I just threatened him. That's working well enough to snort satisfactorily.

"Thanks for the nasty role for me. So that's what you're threatening me with, let's move on, huh?

"Don't splurge with threats.

Then you're not in favor of moving on. I don't know what to talk about forever, so let's head to the inn where Koske's staying. "

Before heading to the Inn, Kosuke tells Alliance staff to turn around the nomination as he leaves the city for a long period of time.

Back at the inn, Sidi looks strange and asks if he's a guest.

"There you are, that? Forgot something?"

"No, but? Why did you think that?"

"It's early for you to come back. So the guy next to Wiale isn't his client."

"This man is Bordos' sister."

"Mr. Bordos' sister!?

Sidi, who was even the first to hear that she had a sister, is surprised by Ellis' sudden visit.

"You always seem to have Bordos in your care. Thank you."

"We are customers, so it is natural to take care of them! They always take care of us and even bring our customers!

Is your sister staying here today? Then let me get you a room. "

"No, it doesn't extend to that. Because I'm leaving town by the end of the day."

"Really?"

"Because I'm leaving, too. Probably won't be back here for over a month."

"You too? Mr. Bordos said a few days ago that he would be away from the city for a long time."

Bordos went to Calhoud.

"Mr. Ellis, do you know where you're going?

"Mm-hmm. I went to the Yuke Union in Calhoud. In a month's time, a militant tournament will be held there. I told you before that I was going to join you."

"I see. If you're going to Calhoud, I know you're going to be away for a long time. Good luck with that. I hope you get good grades."

"Well, it's gonna be. I'm worried about a rampage.

Koske, can you show me to my room? "

Kosuke heads to his room in response to an acknowledgement.

Unlock it and invite Ellis and Weare in.

Yusuke sits in a chair and the two of them sit in bed.

"So I mean, do me a favor."

"Mm-hmm. You remember when I went to Honessing with Horn. Do you?

"Yeah. You were called as a doctor, right?"

Ellis nods.

When I hear that, Wiale pinches my mouth like a surprise.

"Wait a minute. Is the doctor's horn the horn of the Corbeth family?

"Exactly, though?

"Celebrities again!? Mr. Koske! What kind of friendship do you have!?

Get out of the way.

"Though I think the relationship between the two is easy to predict.

This one was a dragon killer, and the horn was sacrificed. See, easy connections. "

"... Mr. Koske challenged the dragon to help Master Horn?

Weirle's eyes gleam, even if it was a romantic imagination like Prince of the White Horse.

"No, no, no. It was a coincidence that I was a dragon killer. I'm not going to tell you the details, but I didn't knock the dragon down because I wanted to. I don't even know I knocked him out.

When I woke up from my fainting, I was a dragon killer sometime. "

"I don't think it's going to happen any time soon."

"I have a witness in front of me. Convince me that can happen."

"Ha."

unconvinced face, but Wiale nodded without saying anything more. I realized there was nothing I could do about it here.

"I'll get back to it, but go to Honeysing as a doctor, and then what?

"I went as a doctor, so naturally I don't treat you. That's where the problem happened.

It turns out that the horn is treatable, but there wasn't enough ingredients for it. "

"You mean it was a special ingredient that you couldn't buy?

If I could buy it for gold, I thought Ellis, who has a lot of money, was buying it.

"You're right, we're talking fast.

The missing ingredients are nothing short of substitutes.

I know where that is. But there's a problem with that place. "

"Where?"

"In the Divine Zone."

"If you don't have a title about God, you can't go in there."

"Uhm. Where we went, only horns held divinely related titles. But you can't let a horn with no combat skills go.

Talking about hiring an adventurer with the title, I told him I knew just the right people. Horn's guaranteed, so I'm convinced of it. "

"Uh, you're asking me to go to the shrine?

It's okay. "

Ellis looks a little surprised by this light reply.

"I'll give you my full consent. I thought you were reluctant."

"Because I live in this city and I've been through a lot. I'm used to some rough stuff."

"I hope I'm not overconfident."

"I don't think I'm overconfident because I'm not willing to risk it through impossibility.

So, the divine area is in Honesing?

"No, it's Calhod. The Yuke Union just discussed, near it."

"Traveling is a ship, isn't it? I've never been on a long voyage before and I'm looking forward to it."

"I'm sorry about what I'm looking forward to, but moving is magical.

Don't tell them to hurry as fast as they can. "

The Pluto side wants to be treated as soon as possible. Ellis understood what it was like to rush me to get an order.

"Well, it is. I wonder if the sailing trip will be another time."

"It will be."

"Then we need to make a trip schedule soon.

Oh, so what about Wiale?

"I... I'd like to go, but I have travel expenses."

"You said the guild would let you out, didn't you?

I wouldn't hesitate to offer it if it were close, but this time it's going to be a high amount, so I'm just creating a feeling of reluctance.

"How come the Alliance is talking about paying for the trip?

I don't think there's much special treatment. "

Ellis also belonged to the Alliance before. As for the treatment of Wiale, I can see that it is something that cannot be normal.

Sasuke looks at Wiale wondering if she can talk about it. Wiale gives a Kyotong look without knowing why she was seen for a moment, but she tells the story herself whether she immediately came to think of it.

"I see the distortion. That would be agreeable. Maybe we should stay together for that reason.

I don't care if it's for travel. I have received eight gold coins from the Pluto as an advance and reserve for the request. Let's get you out of there. "

With eight gold coins, a family of four can live without working for a year. It's a lot of money for ordinary people and adventurers alike.

"Huh? But I can't help you with your request, can I?

"This money belongs to the full Koske. If that courskey gives you permission, you'll be fine."

"Then I'll give it half to Weale. It's like it costs money to get ready... oh well.

Yeah, I'll give you half. "

Wiale panics a lot when she is told she will easily give her large sum of money: four gold coins.

"It's jammed for a moment, but there's something wrong with it?

"Don't worry about it."

"Even so."

I guess you care, Weare looks at Kosuke like he wants you to talk to him.

"Mm-hmm. The sword blew away at my previous request for escort. I forgot to send that out for repair. I was putting it behind me that I wouldn't use it now. It might cost me money to fix it, but I can't get it out in time, so I thought I needed the money.

Mr. Ellis, can you teach me some magic for assault later?

Seek new magic as a means of attacking instead of a sword.

"Nice."

"Don't kill me if you can, I want to remember that if there's anything I can do to disable a lot of people"

Ellis nodded again, picking up some magic in her brain to Yusuke's order.

"While I'm being taught magic, I hope Weare gets ready for the journey."

"Right. Oh, but I've never been on a journey, so I don't know what I need"

"Isn't that what Mr. Way knows? I was an adventurer, and I think the journey is a treat."

Wiale is convinced that's the case, too, and gets up to get out of the room.

"I might want to give you some gold coins because I might buy something.

Mr. Ellis, please. "

Ellis takes the gold out of his pocket and passes it to Four Wiales.

Staring at the gold coin in his hand, Weare opens his mouth.

"... I knew I wouldn't get this. You don't do anything, but it's a lot of money."

Actually, take it, it makes me even more reluctant.

"So what do you mean, lend it? Interest-free, repayment can take years."

"Hmm... then. I'll borrow four gold coins.

But I don't need four right now, so either one of us has the three. If I had it, I'd drop it. "

"It seems possible"

Convinced, Yusuke receives the gold coin and puts it on the table.

Wiale leaves the inn to prepare.

Kosuke packs his bags and divides them into what he needs for his journey and what he doesn't. I'm going to pay Sidi to keep anything I don't need. Not that many, so they'll keep it.

"I'm ready, and teach me magic"

"Fine. Teaching is about impact release, earth-stone spears, and fireball rupture. It's not shock release that can disable it. Earthstone spears and fireball ruptures are hands-free."

"Something a little more lethal"

"You should also get those things just in case.

Don't even live in dangerous demons. "

"Oh, no. What kind of a shrine is that?

Ellis talks in advance that it's knowledge from a transmission or a book.

Where we go is the name of the Kolamuji shrine, a shrine in which several gods are involved.

Nothing special about terrain. There are forests, there are meadows, there are rivers, there are mountains. Animals dwell, demons dwell.

No one lives there. So nature exists in its intact form. So there are precious plants and ores, and outside the divine domain there are extinct animals.

Wide is a week on the feet of ordinary people from end to end.

Even though there are humans who can enter the divine domain, there are still precious plants and the like because there is a certain amount that can be brought out. I can't even bring it up without further permission from God.

"Permission?"

"Every shrine has a chapel-like building. Go there and get permission."

"How do you know I got permission? Something like a certificate or something?

"They can have a word with me.

I'll be given a test by the time I get there. It seems that trials vary from individual to individual. It seems that the difficulty will vary depending on the God who gives the test. "

"A trial. Will demons strike or be stormed?

"Looks like we had some of those trials. There is no record of the death. If you suffer a major injury and lose your mind, you will be treated and thrown out of the divine domain."

This measure does not favour man by God, it is just annoying to die within the divine domain. The divine domain is a world of weak and forceful eating. That's the normal rule, so there's nothing left to resent about dying. But humans and other intelligent things leave feelings like carelessness behind. Such residual ideas pollute the divine domain. As a god who wanted the divine domain to survive as it is, throwing out the humans was a natural measure.

I can't imagine that's why, and Yusuke is relieved to know that he's not going to die.

"It made me feel better when I heard that"

"It's nice to lose your temper, but if you fail, you won't be able to enter the divine domain for a year. As you will remember that.

Don't push it, do your best. "

"Okay."

Then let's go back to magic.

Ellis goes on to describe the chants and movements that he needs, and the phenomena that happen magically, one by one.

Impact release is the magic that shocks out of your hands. By moving the hand around, the impact can be dispersed from a constant direction to a fan.

The most powerful thing is not to disperse, but to strike at close range. The average person would die of this. The weakest is to fan the impact and hit it about five meters away from the surgeon. This power is enough to roll ordinary adult men. Tony taught me about wind magic if I just roll it.

Earthstone spears, as their name suggests, are magic that grows cones made of earthstone from the ground. The number of copies ranges from one to thirty, and the number of occurrences is arbitrary. The range is three meters radius around the operator. One cone measures one meter high and has a maximum width of fifty centimeters.

As a similar magic to this, there is also a magic dedicated to a water field called an ice pile.

Finally, the fireball burst. This is the magic of flying a fireball less than a meter in diameter, exploding it the moment it hits the subject or in any position, scattering flames. It can be used not only for attacks but also for eye-catching purposes.

By the way, the most powerful piece of magic that Kosuke possesses is penetrating light. The difficulty is that it is hard to hit only by flying straight, but if it hits, it is powerful such as penetrating iron without difficulty.

"This isn't the place. And then you should actually try it and get used to it."

"Thanks"

After double-checking the motion and chanting, gently clean the room while killing your free time with chatter and waiting for Wiale. By the time he started thinking it was time for lunch, Wiale came into the room with a big travel bag.

"Thank you for waiting"

"That's what Wiale came for, and we're leaving?

"Let's say we eat lunch before then.

Can you use the dining room here?

"I can use it."

"Then let me show you around."

The three of them leave the room and head to the dining room.

Finish your lunch and say goodbye to Sidi. Sidi asks for a souvenir and escorts the three of them to the inn entrance.

Ellis starts prepping for metastatic magic in front of the inn and looks back to the two of us when it's been enough.

"Both of you, pull over. When you're away, you can travel with me."

That's what Ellis says. He reaches out one hand to both of us. Make sure you two touched that hand, Ellis uses magic.

Wiale, who is new to traveling with metastatic magic, has a hard expression because of nervousness.

When Yusuke tried to speak out to Wiale that she had nothing to worry about, the magic activated and the three disappeared.

Sidi moved her gaze from the position where the three disappeared to the sky, wishing her well before returning to the inn.
