Ryuugoroshi no Sugosuhibi

3 The Shadow of Dragon Nation

Some time has passed since the meeting with Shiraku, and Kosuke is doing the paperwork that was accumulating in the village. Materials procurement and scheduling for architecture are scheduled after this. There are also Ellis and Wiale in the same building, but they are working in a basement that is off-limits except for those involved because of research on distortion. Because distortions are difficult for ordinary people to understand, you can't build a lab on the table.

Because this has the presence of distortion users, the facts were also bent and conveyed to Shayt and Muron. It is told that there is dangerous magic tool development underneath the basement for amateurs to handle. Only the king involved in this village was told the story by God, and via it the Shaits were told that there was no need to be involved.

"Mayor, it's a guest."

Shayt, who was directing the fencing with Muron, came back. The expression is tense and stiff. There is also a heightened sense of vigilance on the part of Kosuke as to whether he is a customer with any problems.

It was the White Dragon that changed people who brought me in by Shayt. Yusuke sees the white dragon and suddenly weakens.

"Oh, my God, I'm coming in with such a nervous face, so I thought something terrible had happened."

"No, I'm nervous, too. You guys came in here ignoring the bond you put up, huh? Even though it's a junction that doesn't let people or demons in, I'm worried about the workers if it doesn't do anything."

"I don't think that person has to help the juncture to be effective. No problem, I can't feel anything unusual in the junction. Tell everyone they had the keys to get in. It would be a little painful, but it would be an excuse if he forgot what he had."

You can change anything, if you're on par with anyone with permission to enter or leave the junction, you're free to come and go. That's actually how it came through. I could have broken it, but I decided that Yusuke and the others would be in trouble.

"Are you sure you don't have a problem? Not some spy or something?

"I'm just a customer. I didn't think you'd come this way. There's no danger if you don't hostile."

"What if we're hostile?

"Isn't a village like this devastated in less than an hour? Without me or Mr. Ellis or Weale."

"You don't look so strong."

Shayt and I have different digits of strength, so I guess he's not gaining strength. Sometimes I've been a long way from a real fight lately, partly because of my bluntness?

"I'll just say you're very strong. Why don't you leave the guests to me and get back to work?

Let me do that.

A token to the white dragon, Shayt leaves.

"There you are."

"Oh, bothered me"

"I'm the one who said you should come anytime. I'll make you some tea. Sit on that couch over there."

She asks me if I have any preferred tea, and I get an answer that I have never had tea. Then I choose a light tea with no habit of anything. Tea candy is a petite cake I was going to have with everyone later.

"Did you come here today to give me the Chronicle?

"There's that too."

"Anything else?

Drink snorting tea. It feels horrible because I drink it for the first time, so I take the cup to my mouth and include it in my mouth. It didn't seem like it was a particularly bad flavor, and I'm going to drink it as it is.

"How'd it go? If you like it, I can put it in."

"Mm-hmm..."

I say because it's easy for the white dragon who asked me for my thoughts and started worrying about how to say it.

"I thought I'd like another drink"

"Sounds like you liked it. Wait a minute."

Ask for errands that came here while I made tea.

"When I went to Ethiopia to write a chronicle, I stopped by the nest of the Patriotic Dragon. That's when they asked me to leave a message that I wanted to ask you to kill a dragon."

"You haven't become a store for anything for dragons?

Looking back in between steaming tea, bewildered and looking at the white dragon.

"Both the Patron and the Golden Dragon said it was easy to ask because it was a person but had strength beyond the dragon and could move discreetly"

"I have plans, too."

"I'm sorry it's convenient for my people to use it"

I bowed my head sorry. I'm counting on it myself, my apologies were in full swing.

"Like you, if it's a favor to think about this, it's fine. No. Do you have a name?

"Name? There's no human or godlike name because you can represent yourself just by being a white dragon"

"It's inconvenient to hide who you are, like this one, so why don't you put something on it? If you don't want to, I'll be careful to delude you."

"If it's inconvenient, you can put it on. I can't think of anything, so put it on over there."

When it comes to white dragons, it's Falcon in the Neverending Story. But if it might not fit the white dragon in front of me a little, I'm going to look for another name.

"Simply silos, hacks and pylons. Canvas so that I can portray myself as I want to someday in Sara right now. That's about all I can think of right now. So what do you say we choose from this?

(Huck Canvas)

Shortly after Yusuke said it, the voice I had heard only once before echoed in my brain.

"Is that all you have now, Master Arcelan?

"It is. There was no particular hope, so my sister's name would be fine."

"Then I'll introduce you to Huck Canvas next time you look like that."

Haku nodded in a disgruntled manner. Place the tea in front of that hack.

"Shall I put the story back? You said you had a favor from the Patron Dragon, but what's in it?

"That's what I told you when I asked you to come to the nest."

"Is the nest definitely in the capital of Peggiold Dragon Nation?

Haku nodded as he drank his tea.

"You've never been to Peggiold, have you? I think I'll ask Mithalam or Korhok to send it to me."

(That's about it, I'll send it)

Arcelan's voice echoes in his brain again.

"Is that okay?

(Haku took care of it, as a thank you)

"Then when you're ready, please"

I got a reply saying I got it, and my voice went away.

"As we're going to prepare, can you show me the chronicles? I'll tell you what I think if I can read it right here."

The paper handed over is a single piece of A4 size paper, with beautiful letters lined up to show serious character.

I'm going to have to read that. The chosen location is the mountain lake in Peggiold and the flower gardens that surround it. The content can't be flattered. The depiction is written rather than the perception of the landscape, and it does not convey how or where the author felt better.

"I want you to write more about what Haku felt when he saw the landscape. It doesn't taste good if it stays like this. It's not like someone else sees the same landscape and feels the same, but I think it's going to be one of the judgment materials. I'd prefer a sentence that would make me want to go there. Amateur thoughts, but here's the thing."

"Perception...... ok, I'll write again based on that"

"There's no deadline or anything, and you should do it carefully."

Return the paper to Haku and stand out of the chair. Haku also rises. He left the building when he said he would go back to his nest and rewrite.

Dropping it off, Kosuke heads underground. It's a room built about twenty meters underground so there's no damage on the ground. God helped create the room, so replacing the air is perfect.

If you open it suddenly during the experiment, something terrible can happen, so knock tight and wait for a response before opening it.

There was a sound of a key opening, and Ellis opened the door. The room is as bright as the ground and nearly forty tatami in size.

"What can I do for you?

"I'm going out, to tell you that"

Answer as you enter the room. Wiale takes her eyes off the paper at hand and turns to Yusuke. That paper wrote about magic tools that acted to distort a person's mental state. They're using it to get rid of anyone who tries to come in with malicious intent. Now I haven't been able to make a real product with a paperwork substitute.

"Where are you going?

"Peggiold Dragon Nation of Calhod. There's something I can do for you, Patron. That's what the white dragon came to tell you."

"The dragon that was supposed to do the example writer's imitation"

Ellis has a subtle tone. I don't think that's what dragons do. I guess it's an unacceptable story for the two of us who were watching a dragon named Black Dragon.

"Did you ask what kind of favor?

"No, I'm supposed to ask after I go. The White Dragon and the friendly God of Arcelane will travel."

"Wouldn't I be shaken up as impotent"

Weare says worried.

"I'm going to take it on after I hear you talk, so I guess I'll just go home when I'm shaken up"

"I hope that makes sense."

"It's not a bad dragon like a black dragon, is it, a protective dragon?"

"Sort of. A dragon whose primary concern is to protect Peggiold. I don't hear stories about being raped or attacking another country."

All we have to do is protect the country, as the name suggests. It was active when other countries attacked it or when demons broke out. I have been asked many times in the past by senior officials to help me attack other countries as a reprisal for being attacked. But I've turned it down.

"Why are you protecting me?"

"Well. Witches and clerics may know. If it's in the Patriotic Dragon, why don't you ask?"

"I guess I'll try that"

"Be careful."

"Yeah, I'll be careful."

He moved from the basement to the house, set up a journey schedule, and soon told Arcelan that he was ready with a dragon phosphorus scale sword as well.

The next moment I heard a word when I sent it, Yusuke was in some garden. Well-maintained garden with a wide road. It looks like it's made in some mountain. There's a plain under the far eye. There are many paths to tear green carpets apart.

There were not many signs of people in the garden. Instead, big signs were felt, and when I looked over there, there was a Western European dragon with a green scale. The size is bigger than a white dragon, there is a man in the first half of twenty near it. In polished silver armor, he weaves a green cape and has a sword on his hips.

"Who is it!? You broke in knowing this was the Dragon Garden!

The man reaches for his lower back sword and looks at Yusuke in a vigilant manner.

"Hands off the sword, Cardinal, the guest I called."

"Customer? Can I ask you what kind of qualities it is?

Hear the words of the Patriotic Dragon and let go of his hand from his sword once and for all. But remain vigilant and look up at the Patriotic Dragon.

"I hear from the white boy that he hates to stand out. Wouldn't it be nice if I could swear I wouldn't tell anyone? Is that okay with the guests, too?

"Yeah, if you can keep it a secret."

The young man called Cardinal thinks only a little and opens his mouth.

"Aren't you a fool to us?

"I guess it depends on how this one handles. I haven't heard it's belligerent. They also took care of the golden grandmother, the sea lad and the white lad."

"But were they the dragons of the tomb guard or the double sea dragons or the white dragons? Those who help dragons must not be rude. If the Patron Dragon were to keep it a secret, I wouldn't talk about my identity either."

The cardinal takes a good look at Kosuke and thanks him. I can tell when I feel sincere will and there is no lie in my words.

"I am Peggiold, the next dragon goddess of the dragon kingdom, Cardinal Peggiold. What does your name say?

Dragon gods and dragon witches are at the top of this country. The cardinal is allowed to meet the dragon because he has decided to be the next dragon god.

"I... what can I say? I say Koske Watase, who is an adventurer and a village chief. Few know, but they have the title" Dragon Killer. "

Said Yusuke could safely announce his title because he swore to the dragon that Cardinal worshipped and would not be scattered.

"Dragon, kill?... Only the Black Dragon died recently, did you kill the Black Dragon?

"Yeah, coincidence. Would you like to see the card?

The cardinal nodded, so display the title of the dragon kill and give it to him. It's impossible to forge cards other than God, so if you look at the displayed letters and statuses, you have to believe it.

As a cardinal who worships dragons, he has complex thoughts about the person who killed them. I get a feeling of condemnation from something similar to a religious view. But the blame shrivels when you think about what the Black Dragon has done.

Since the Patriotic Dragon did not blame his fellow countryman for his murder, the cardinal also sealed it with the thought of condemnation.

"Seems true. I've heard Black Dragon was the strongest of the dragons. I think it would be amazing to have been able to defeat it by chance. Can't we just get along?

"I feel comfortable working with you, but if you hurt me, it's important."

"I don't care!

"You should do it lightly, but against him. Otherwise they will persevere eating down. And with some injuries, I don't know what to say about the perimeter."

The Patriotic Dragon comes to me with a voice containing a grin.

Besides, the cardinal makes me angry that it's rude. It's like pretending. I felt a younger atmosphere than my age from such a look.

"Well, a little bit. By the way, I mean, can I ask you a favor? If it's impotent, I'm going to say no."

"That's why I asked you to come. Shall we talk about the chatter as before? I'd like you to take it if you can."

"Is the story something I can listen to, too?

"Oh, that's what's been bothering us lately. You'd better listen to me too."

"You mean they were bothering you"

Did you imagine what it was about? I put my arms together and it gave me a grumpy look.

"It started about six months ago or there was no longer one small village far from the capital. According to the story of the villagers who managed to survive, a human came with a demon. I tried to paint a demon from that villager's story, but it was a demon nobody knew about. Humans only knew as much about a man because of the hood worn in the eye. Even when the soldiers investigated it, they only knew about the demonic footprints and where they left off. Heading in the direction of his departure to investigate, he encountered a second village being attacked. The soldiers headed to help, but the result was a loss. I managed to prevent the villagers from being wiped out."

"Naturally so. Because I haven't put myself in training since I usually do!

Peggiold Dragon Nation has a low level of military smell. This is because I think the Patriotic Dragon will help me if I have to. The temper to protect the country and the people is scarcer than the soldiers of other countries, and they do not enter into training as a result.

From other countries it survives while the dragon is present, but if the dragon dies, the country is also seen to die.

Among these, the cardinal is one of those who is seriously working out. Sometimes they ask the Patriotic Dragon to play a training opponent and lead their own squad around the country. Letters from the people are thick because they are in action showing their will to protect the people.

Though he himself was a symbol, and he was not praised for throwing most of his affairs at his men.

"I guess that's my fault too, but it doesn't matter now. Let's get back to this, shall we? A second village was attacked, and from the testimony of soldiers and villagers it was found to be the same demon that attacked the first village. The village was also attacked afterwards. Because the laws of movement are simple, we can predict where we're going to hit next, the cardinals are now ahead, and I can move quickly."

"With Mr. Cardinal moving, how can the Patriotic Dragon move quickly?

"That's because there's a connection between me and the Patriotic Dragon. As long as you're in the country for easy communication, you can be anywhere. I used it to get help from the village."

Stretch your chest that it would be amazing. Yusuke seems to be losing the cardinal's mental age. Maybe this one is more vegan.

When Yusuke nodded that he was amazing, he had a flamboyant grin that he would be.

"I wonder if he's easy to handle"

"Did I say something?

"No, nothing. So the Patriotic Dragon didn't work out?

"Except for the first battle, we started to retreat quickly. Still, I have defeated most of the demons, but every time I fight, the numbers are back on track. Perhaps the Raiders are using human corpses as material to produce demons. I've seen him take away human bodies."

"They're kidding! Some of the children who were murdered were not even ten yet. I'm sorry if I didn't slash you."

I am quenching my previous upper mood and dyeing my expression in anger.

"Didn't you go after the escaping raider?

"Of course I did! But if they get away with the transfer, there's no way to chase them. The demons can't break through walls to stop the metastasis, and they're worried about what's going on."

"What you want from me is to destroy or capture them?

That's right, the Patriotic Dragon nods.

"If you're not familiar with your face, say you're a traveler and you can get close, and I thought you could do something about the Raiders in an ambush. And if I can, I want them captured to know what the raiders think. You're acting suspicious."

The most suspicious thing is that the behavioral batons are too easy to understand. It moves to arc domestic and external edges. There are no major deviations in the date and time of the raid on the village either, as if you were telling me to find it. It can't be a random raid, I just think we're up to something.

I have another concern. The strength of the demons led by the Raiders is increasing little by little. At first, if an untrained soldier stood three to one, he could win. But as it stands, we can't win unless we deal with them twice as much.

I was wondering if there was any point in gradually increasing strength.

"Do you know the next day of the raid and where they're going to strike?

"Where was it"

"It's an area two days northwest of here with a horse. The time is four days from now, just a little after sundown."

Regarding the cardinal I tilted my neck to remember, the Patriotic Dragon just said some village names, etc.

Soldiers, including cardinals, are to be lined up in the area to be raided immediately the day before the raid. Yusuke also added that even if he met the soldiers, he would not come into contact with them, but would like them to pretend that they had nothing to do with the country.

"You almost remembered!?

"It won't matter which way you say it"

While watching the cardinal bite by the Patron Dragon, Yusuke thinks it won't take half a day with flying magic.

"I'm leaving for today. We'll be heading to the village the day after tomorrow because we might suddenly miss our plans."

"Take it or it'll help"

"I'll get paid, though. Money is fine, so get ready."

In order to build a village, there is no need for money.

While it was convincing to ask for a reward, the cardinal gave an unexpected look to the demand for money.

"Is money okay? Can we get some expensive firearms or something? It's a request from the state, so it's light. As an adventurer, I think that's better."

"Because the weapons are in time. This sword and jacket is enough. I need money now, so it's better that way."

"Well, then I'll have the flash money ready as a reward for success"

Write it down in a notebook I took out of my nostalgia so I don't forget.

I miss it and look at Kosuke with a full eye of anticipation.

"Let's get it together fast!

"You can't take too much time, can you? I have business to attend to after this."

I was going to do a collection of building materials that I didn't think I could do today.

You'll be satisfied if you deal with him for an hour.

"Well, if that's about it. Where's the place?

"I'd say here, but will the gardener be angry? There's a square up there a little bit more, let's do it there."

Then we're going first.

With that said, the Patriotic Dragon heads to the square that it is above with wings.

The remaining two walk out side by side.

"No, I'm looking forward to it. From what I've seen of the cards, Koske seems to have better strength. Don't get excited now about how much it actually is!

"You like to fight. He's like a Rubidasian parent and son."

"You don't have to talk politely, do you?

Outside official venues, too, from subordinates and the people may be dealt with in shattered tones. I don't care about details if you speak publicly or privately.

Then I'm going to break it up a little bit.

"Mm, that's fine. You said Rubidasia, but you mean the marquis of Kouma?

"I got on the edge and I got to know him. Fathers and daughters like to fight and they deal with each other a lot."

"I don't know about my daughter, but I hear her father, Lord Genou, is quite the arm. If you can deal with someone like that, you can expect it."

Walk in an atmosphere where you are likely to sing a nose song. Next to that, Yusuke remembers speaking of which, he was going to ask.

"Why the Patron Dragon protects this country?"

"If you can't answer, you can have no response. It's not like I want to hear it."

"But before you were reborn into a dragon, you said you were human in this country or something. He faintly remembers that."

I got a surprise look that there was a reincarnation in this world. Take that as a surprise that Cardinal has memories of his previous life.

In this world the soul is circulating. Souls that have lost flesh and other things circle the world for a while, eventually entering all things flora and fauna. Most of my previous memories disappear by then. It is rare to remain as faint as the Patriotic Dragon.

"I wonder how much I remember"

"He said there were about five landscapes and life. And then he remembered that he was born in this country, and he started to live and protect it."

I see. To Kosuke, who replies, the cardinal points to the square there.

Though there is a way to get there, it is not maintained like a garden and it is not easy to walk thinly. There's no such thing as a path for both of us.

I went up the road for about five minutes and climbed a cliff with some breadth. The road is over here, and if we want to move forward, we need to go down the road without a path.

From the cliff we arrived we could see some buildings standing on the slopes.

The capital was built in the mountains inhabited by the Patriotic Dragon. There is a temple in the middle of the mountain, from where below is a residential area, etc., and at the foot there is a market, etc. The nest of the Patriotic Dragon is near the top. No one can get close there, and only a little above the dragon garden can people go.

The Patron Dragon sits behind a cliff and looks at the two of them.

"Let's do it fast"

The cardinal takes off his cape and pulls out his hips sword. It is a silver blade bastard sword that can be held by both hands, with a design on the violin with a dye of Zhu, and the pattern is wrapped with a cloth of Zhu.

Swords and armor are special orders made for cardinals and are an incomparable substitute for weapons there. It has no special abilities, but is built with a strong emphasis on ease of handling.

"You take it seriously. I wonder if you're okay."

"If you don't hit me, I'll be fine. All you have to do is stop the inch or deflect your aim and attack. I can treat scratches so they don't come off!

"I'll do it with my sheath on."

"I don't mind that, but let me unplug it for once. I want to see what kind of sword it is."

Pull it out of the sheath if you just want to show it. The cared for black body shines in the light.

"Isn't that a great sword? Somehow I feel the atmosphere. I want you to let me know if you have a name."

"What was it...... oh Lutzbida"

"That's the only sword praised by the god of blacksmiths! I heard it was a sword whose owner doesn't stand up and act, so I don't know where it is. I didn't know I could see it."

There is no evidence to indicate Lutzvaida, but the sword formation or atmosphere did not make me suspect.

Say no to the cardinal you were watching as excited and deliver to the sheath.

"Show me later!

Put up a sword while I say so. I can see from the structure and atmosphere that it is not a lie that I am working out. It would definitely be stronger than Gelm. Maybe it's at the top of D + or it's reaching C-.

Yusuke also changes consciousness and holds the sword. As soon as possible, the cardinal feels a quiet intimidation from Kosuke. No matter where you attack, you can't get close because you feel like you're about to get a counterattack.

As it was, ten seconds and twenty seconds passed, and a minute later the cardinal moved.

From there, they both move, and sometimes an hour goes by between chatty breaks.

Yusuke's body is warming up, and Cardinal is sweating and breathing on her shoulders. Neither is injured, he's only losing strength.

All Cardinal attacks were dodged, and all attacks directed at the Cardinal were inch blocked.

"I thought you were strong, but I didn't know there was a difference so far. No surprise attacks."

"I'm surprised you're sticking me in the middle of something."

"I wanted to hit an effective attack for about once! Even that was dealt with!

"Well, you're losing strength. I'll go home then. No, no, no, no. What do I do if I catch a raider? Pass to soldiers?

"Mm-hmm. I'll keep this. If there's a soldier nearby, you can show him this and give it to him, and if he's not nearby, bring him down here and tell the soldier downstairs what he wants, and we'll make sure it gets through."

Sitting on the spot, the cardinal takes the decorated skinny dagger from his waist and throws it at Kosuke with each sheath.

Kosuke, who received the dagger, begins to prepare for the transfer. Cardinal waved to Yusuke to do it again.

Two days later, as planned, Kosuke had come to a village with a good chance of being attacked. We're going to go up to the sky regularly after sundown to explore what's going on around us, so we'll figure it out even if two other places are attacked.

I used magic this time to disguise myself as a Scion. I was hoping it wouldn't stand out during the fight, but when the soldiers came together, no. But it might stand out, so I decided to hide who I was.

The village to stay in is not necessarily large with a population of two hundred, and Yusuke searched with anxiety to see if there was an inn, which he could find even though it was small.

"Hello"

"There you are. Are you alone?

"Yes, I'd like to stay three days from today."

Is that a good word for a general? and a slightly surprising look.

"It's rare to stay three days. What can I do for you in such a small village?

"No, I've been in such a hurry to try to take a longer break. There's plenty of room for plans."

"Really? I will try to forgive you as much as I can."

"Please"

Yusuke has decided to stop by on the way here. The planned spot I said to deceive you arrives easy and early if you use a carriage. You won't be suspicious of that. Walking over the mountains near the village reduces the distance and saves you fares. There are other people who take the same route every once in a while besides Yusuke.

This was heard from the cardinal at the break of the simulated battle. Finally, I also told you that I might be disguised.

Well, I'm a little suspicious about the woman's solo journey, but it's not like she doesn't have a strong woman. It is thought that Yusuke is one such person.

Put your stuff in the room and look out the window at the village. So far people are living without any disturbing signs. Many of the villagers seem to be out in the fields, and there is a small sound of life in the village. Peace itself, and I guess people think this peace will last forever.

"Was it not tomorrow that the cardinals would form a formation? I guess knowing that makes you a little nervous."

Having fallen asleep in bed, Kosuke begins his nap. I excused myself for being tired, I couldn't have walked around. I stayed asleep until evening and woke up realizing the temperature was dropping.

That means there's a tavern, so Kosuke, who had decided to have dinner there, leaves the inn with his guitar.

After dinner, play the song appropriately and listen to recent events. If I had seen it in the shadow of a demon, I would have explored the area around the place during the night. But I don't talk about seeing anything other than the demon I'm from, and I end up empty.

While intoxicated, the owner of the liquor store gave me juice to plug in and returned to the inn before 8 p.m.

The general worries me that I was late returning, and I take a bath after I tell her why.

Get out of the bath and relax and see the village at night with the fever. Pompous and magical lights are leaking out of the house. Three moons and clouds float in the sky.

"It's too early to go out there."

Close the window to try to move after everyone has calmed down more.

Two hours later, the inn also became quiet, and Yusuke gently opened the window and went outside with flying magic. The number of lights leaking was a lot less, and the lights were just on about three houses.

Keep going up to the sky and keep two villages to be raided in sight. Other than that, there is a possibility of a raider's place of stay if there are lights.

"Can't you see it from here? Let's move a little bit."

I moved around softly and looked for the area to make sure there was no abnormality.

"Maybe it comes with the same day transfer as it does when you flee?

This will make me go back to the inn and sleep today. There was no earlier raid than planned and we were able to have a refreshing morning.

After breakfast, call it a walk and walk all over the village with one guitar in one hand. The children gathered as they were playing the song while walking. Gather information while chatting to the kids as they listen to the song. I didn't see anything as strange as the grownups did.

That's how I spent my time, two soldiers approached me.

"Excuse me, may I have a word with you?

I could see the colour of suspicion and confusion in the eyes of a soldier who said so. The cardinal told me you might be disguised, but you didn't even think you'd fake it to your gender. I suspect that the atmosphere and tricks are also helpers that the woman was really listening to.

"Yeah, I don't mind. That's why your sister's going."

The kids waved at me again and away from where I was playing the song.

"What's the story?

"The Inn Admiral told me you were on your way to delivery. Is there a mistake?

"Yes, I stopped by in the middle of a request. We're going to take a break and shortcut across the mountains."

The soldiers look at each other.

"Mind if I show you the delivery stuff?

"Go ahead."

Pass the case with the dagger that was in the shoulder bag.

The soldier who opened it and checked its contents gave it an imaginary look, but when he closed the case, he returned it to Kosuke.

"Excuse me. I've heard disturbing rumors lately. I thought you should be very careful."

"Yes, thank you for your concern"

When the soldier is thankful, he leaves Kosuke. They admitted to being in person for once because it almost matches what they had heard from the cardinal. But I also thought I needed to check with the cardinal. That's how perfect the disguise was.

Being alone, Kosuke decides to have lunch at yesterday's tavern and walks over there.

The behavior that follows is the same as the day before. And the night will dawn, and it will be a scheduled day. The morning was as usual, but before it was evening after noon, Kosuke felt signs from the direction of the mountain that had never happened before.

View the mountain through the window of the room. I don't see him, but I know there's something in the group.

"Come."

I put my sword on the bed to pull it out at any time and calm my feelings. If you let your opponents know you're being noticed, you may want to daunt them. In that case, it is possible that the ambush will not work either.

It moves as before and does not enlighten the villagers about the anomalies either. However, I did not go to the tavern. She says she wants to calm down and get ready because she's leaving tomorrow, and we'll have dinner at the inn.

And after six o'clock in the afternoon, the signs of the mountain move. Look at the mountain and explore where the signs go.

"It's on its way over here."

Kosuke, who shrugged, holds his sword and moves to make sure the villagers don't even find him. Hide in the branches of a tree a little further from the village and wait for the arrival of the demon.

Little by little the signs approached and a number of black shadows appeared at the end of his gaze. He looks like an animal man, but signs are as if he's different from a beast man or a human being semi-beast with a gift he's seen before. Neither does he look like a beast man himself. All those in shape who would not naturally be born, such as those without a part of their body, those without hair everywhere, those with muscle gain unnaturally only a part of their body, and those with parts that people do not have.

A hundred and fifty or so. It would be a hard number for an untrained villager.

From that, Kosuke looks for the man in the target hood.

"There he is."

At the rear of the group, walking surrounded by demons.

Yusuke kills the signs and moves from shade to shade, approaching the man. In the footsteps of the group, the small footsteps made by Kosuke were cancelled, and there was no way the man noticed. I approached him somewhat and waited there for a lurking man to pass by.

Kosuke jumped out when he approached twenty and ten meters and the distance approached to five meters.

"What!?

The man seemed completely unaware and raised his voice of surprise. Without worrying about such a man, the demons walk to the village. I guess he's giving orders and starting and going into offensive action. If you disable the man as he is, it may just be too far through the village.

Yusuke slashes and dumps the demon that was around the man while praying for his blessings, and approaches the man.

"Strike these guys who struggle even with knights!? Shit!"

The man who sees the demon fallen in one blow panics and puts his strength into his body. And I was able to pass and avoid the impending sword. Instead, the hood is torn open and the face touches the outside air.

"Horns and scales?

There are little horns like goats growing on the forehead of the man who appears, scales like fish on his cheeks, not dragons. There are sharp fingernails in the hand that came out of the robe.

"It's too early to be on our stage. If they find out, they'll die here!

A flying man moves slower than a false god. It is possible to kill with a single blow here, but we decide to play each other's battles to extract information.

"Damn fast! I was surprised earlier, so it was a blow, but this might not be a good idea"

I thought it might be a little trivial.

"Ha ha! It's the result of our research! Trouble compared to the experiments there."

I saw a man's reaction, such as that, and he sighed small when it seemed unscathed.

From there, take a man's attack with a sword, and try to retreat with the torso aim attack. Besides, the man gains momentum in the attack.

While I was playing, there was a scream from the village.

"Shit. Did you come to the village before you gave the order? We need to get rid of this guy and give him orders."

"What are you going to do with the village!? There are people over there who took care of you!

"Kuck, what do we do? It's settled. That village is doomed today!

"Something to make you!

The man avoids backsteps the sword waved out of his power. The man laughs with his nose when he sees Yusuke letting him breathe on his shoulder.

"You think you can beat me? You die before the villagers do!

"Knock."

Take the nails the man shook down with the belly of his sword. Pull the sword one by one like you're losing your strength.

"Who are you people! What's the matter? Do such a terrible thing!

"We are the Successors of Will! A great genius apprentice! Eventually you will destroy the world!

"What are you talking about!? It's impossible to destroy the world!

Pull the sword in front of your face and your nails touch Yusuke's cheek.

"It's possible for us to have documents left behind by geniuses."

As I said, I gave him a confident grin when I pushed him off like this.

Kosuke, who has also become a hassle to act out, decides whether it is enough here.

Push the sword back a bit that was near your face and kick down the disfigured man. The grin disappeared from the man who rolled onto the ground and a startling look appeared.

"Nah!? Where did you get that kind of spare time!?

"I'm tired of taking care of myself while acting"

"Acting!? Stupid. You mean you weren't struggling with me for carving the fruits of my research into this?!?

"I'm not that strong, you."

"This was an unexpected obstacle. We have to let everyone know!

The man hastily begins to prepare for the metastasis.

"You think I'm gonna let you get away with this?

Approaching a foot jump, Kosuke cleaves the man's torso straight to the side. Thought a red blood splash would break with pain, but the man showed his guts to complete the magic of the metastasis.

Look at the man who disappeared, Yusuke cheeks.

"Did you let him get away with it? It's not like there's no harvest, and I need to tell you what I know."

Return to the village, wondering if the request will fail. I'm only short ready, so I wouldn't have gotten far. But before I could find it, I gave up looking because they were going to use the magic of metastasis again.

In the village, villagers are bewildered by demons that just march. I was running away at first, but I realized I wasn't attacking me, I was just walking, and I just wanted to see how things were going.

There the soldiers arrive. At the beginning there was a cardinal on horseback. Nor can the soldiers hide their confusion at the difference from the sight they expected.

"What's going on?

Yusuke puts his dagger in the palm of his hand and approaches the cardinal.

The soldiers stand on guard and guard the cardinal. But the cardinal who noticed the dagger raised his hand and indicated that it was okay.

"That dagger... could it be a wasp?

"Yes, I'm in disguise using magic. I fought the Raiders earlier, but I was only able to give them depth and extract information, and I let them get away with it."

"Right. Let me hear that information later. Now we have to do something about these demons."

"Without the order of the assailant, it would just seem to walk."

"Oh, so there's no damage to the village? Then defeat the demon so that no damage is done to the village!

A prestigious reply was raised from the soldiers, and the demons were quickly eliminated.

While the demonic body is being transported outside the village, Kosuke tells the cardinal what information he has heard. It added that the man was an amateur when it came to the fight, and the speculation that the research might lead to physical modification.

"Destroy the world?

"That's what he did say. Genius is definitely the one who caused the commotion on the Severnick continent. I've heard of apprentices who didn't get caught."

"I guess I'll have to let other countries know. Thank you for your hard work, I'll give you the reward later. Right, I'll be waiting in five days at the afternoon example place."

"You just broke up four days ago?

Confirmation returns a snort.

I say I get it, and I return the dagger I kept.

Once he had finished his work, Kosuke returned to the inn and went home the next day.

After finishing processing the demons, the cardinal takes the formation away and returns to the capital. So I tell the Dragon Cleric and the Patriotic Dragon what I found out.

Information about the disciples of genius is circulated from dragon priests to kings of nations. The reaction was varied. Most of them were incredible, but Honessing, Kouma and Calibarette, who obtained information directly from Yusuke, asked Peggiold to provide information they knew deserved vigilance.

Five days after the promise, Kosuke moves to the cliff. Waiting for the cardinal while viewing the landscape for a while, it came in about thirty minutes.

"You were already here, I'm sorry I kept you waiting."

"I enjoyed the landscape, so I didn't really care about the time."

"It's a nice view, isn't it? I like the landscape from here too."

Saying, Cardinal sits next to Yusuke. And give him the bag he had in his hand.

"Reward."

"Thanks"

I missed it without checking. The cardinal smiles joyfully as the behavior seems to indicate he believes in himself.

"How's the demon moving since then?

"I don't know because it's not the next day to guess, but you haven't made any unplanned moves."

We talk to each other looking at the landscape.

"Just in case, can you tell me the next day of guessing? Coming."

"I'd appreciate it, would you?

"It's like a failed request. No reward."

Say you're generous and mouth the date you guessed.

Kosuke, remembered, gets up. Take the wooden sword you had placed next door and ask the cardinal if you want to mock the battle.

Answered with response and momentum, the cardinal takes the wood sword offered and rises.

From the cliff, the sound of a tree bump was heard, and the pleasant voice of the cardinal echoed around.
