Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Residential neighborhood ahead of adventurer guilds and accommodation.

In the deepest part of it, there is Marwin's mansion.

Zorozolo and the werewolf species (Wearwolf) come and go there day and night.

Most werewolf species in this city are apparently descending under Marwin's command.

In addition to his own arms, Marwin is considered a hero by the werewolf species for defeating the Four Heavens "Thousand Weirds, so I guess they are embraced.

As far as fires and other things go, the evils of Marwin himself seem to be well known and followed, so there's no room for them to take into account.

Late at night, in darkness, proceed through the residential area.

I use signs blocking magic to avoid being witnessed, but so far there is no crowd.

Still proceed with great care.

There won't be any evidence left because it's completely burned out with Elphi's demonic eyes, but it's troublesome to have witnesses.

"Right here. That's a big mansion."

And the great gate was raised, and a statue of a wolf stood beside it.

A cobblestone path leading to the entrance, a tidy garden, a fountain in its corner.

It is a large mansion that stands out in the residential area.

While this is normal, it is notable that security is provided by magic grants (magic items) strewn all over the place.

Disguised magic grants are embedded inside gates, statues, fountains, etc.

If you step in poorly, you'll find out in one shot.

That's a lot of trouble.

"Compared to the Castle of the Demon King, the equipment and security are the same everywhere."

"You bet."

Wrong compared to the last dungeon.

Well, surely security is only about 'pretty nasty'.

It's not that hard to break in.

"Elfi, I know you do, but don't get distracted."

"Whatever."

We've been under surveillance by Marwin's men since before we moved into action.

Me and Marwin only happened once in the city.

We're only talking about possibilities, but if I'm right, it's a little cumbersome.

"Let's go."

Keep the signal blockade activated and enter the mansion.

"-" Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer) ""

Magic Grants (Magic Items) are naturally powered by magic.

So if you scatter the inner magic, you just stop moving for that matter.

If you stop completely, you run the risk of passing it on to your opponent, but if you just stop moving for a few seconds, you won't be noticed.

We broke into the Mansion, gently breaking through the magic item of the guard.

◆

Magic items (magic items) were also installed throughout the mansion.

Stopping the operation with the aid of the demon stone and going bare beside it.

It seemed to rely almost on security by magic grants, and the number of people looking around the mansion was quite small.

The perceptive abilities of the werewolf species (Warewolf) are troublesome, but they are unnoticed unless they are also used in the magic of exploration because they use sign blocking.

Inside the mansion, it was normal except that magic grants were planted.

Is it well cleaned or clean?

Follow people's signs and look for Marwin.

…………

So far so good.

That's why I can't be alarmed.

You're doing whatever you want, so naturally you're also considering retaliation.

Will this level of security reassure him?

Eventually, we arrived at Marwin's study.

But there's nobody in there.

Turning his gaze on the desk or something, no important paperwork was placed.

"... Iori"

A while later, Elfi discovered the basement.

There was a mechanism on the floor that, when passed through magic, opened the passage to the basement.

"Elfi. In case there is, do as I say"

"... I don't really care."

We exchanged our sights, and we went down the stairs leading down to the basement.

The walls are equipped with light sources at equal intervals, which somehow remind me of the labyrinth.

"Oh, hey, Io. Don't go too far."

……?

If I did it, I'd snuggle up. I stuck it down there while I was leaning my neck against Elfi.

The room is spread out at the end of the stairs.

Betta, but there seems to be an underground underneath the mansion.

That's pretty broad, too.

As soon as I got down, I arrived in the big room.

There's no light or anything, it's a dark room.

Except there's magic and signs of people.

Then you must win first.

――――

Step in and attack at the same time.

Trying to use witchcraft, I noticed something strange.

From within, the magic is sucked suddenly -.

"Io -"

The moment I realized that, the wind blew.

Pull out the sword and play it.

At the same time, Elfi's neck, standing next to him, was flying.

A blade of wind was cutting the body apart from the torso.

Dosari, and made a noise, and Elphi's torso fell to the ground, and his neck fell late.

……!

The magic in my body disappeared completely.

Attacked by intoxication due to lack of magic, he gets to his knees.

Seeing at his feet, a bright red glowing magic formation was engraved.

Because you let the subject's witchcraft disappear, the magic formations extinguish their glow.

"… the juncture"

"Your Answer"

A patch of applause sounds and the lights light up indoors.

Multiple werewolf species (Wearwolf) stood at the front.

"I thought it was time to come, so I was ready to wait."

Nitanita and grinned, Marwin said.

"Long time no see, Amatsu (...) Kiiiiiiiiiiiii"

◆

Look at the mess, they're all B to A-ranked adventurer classes.

Five werewolf species would have a higher strength than the knights Lewsas had led.

Arranged the elite five left and right, Marwin came talking in a netted tone.

From the nuances that call my name, I know that he knows who I am.

"... how did you know we were coming?"

"You heard from an acquaintance in the kingdom. I was wary, just in case."

"... Luisas?"

That's the answer I expected.

With the presence of werewolf species following us, there was some predictability.

Marwin said he knew we existed.

Plus, for some reason, Lewsas only knew exactly where Marwin was.

I guess that means these guys still have connections.

"Your movements were constantly monitored by your men. Seeing where I haven't heard from, it looks like I've already been disposed of. I'm so sorry."

The tone is the expression on your back and you don't remember any itching.

From the start, I guess those guys were abandoned pawns.

"His figure has changed dramatically, but, oh, he does have a shadow. I didn't expect to see that tough face for over thirty years."

"I'm relieved you haven't changed your sexual roots."

"Yeah, thanks to you."

Kutsukutsu and Marwin.

"Because of you, I thought if I burned those cat race warcats' stores, they'd be here by the end of the day."

"... Did you burn Misha's shop to attract me?"

"Yeah, of course. Well, I've been blind for a long time, so I've been warned. Those who stand in the way disappear, and you too are drawn. That's exactly what this is all about?"

Reminds me of Elfi's saying that my people should choose.

People don't suddenly change.

In this way, I guess this guy's sexual roots have been rotten since we were fighting together.

Did you say it was provocation that kept us from joining the Alliance?

As long as I'm here, I can't accomplish my goals.

"-" The Ribbon of Magic. "How does it feel to be sucked out of magic?

Look at me, I can't move because of my lack of magic. Let's see Marwin scratch.

Junction.

It's the magic Marwin always liked to use.

Even when you put me in a trap thirty years ago, this guy was using the junction.

Marwin said, "The Ribbon of Magic."

It must have been advanced junction magic that needed to be planted beforehand.

I guess there's a trick somewhere to activate the junction.

Probably around the back of this room.

The effect is continuous activation until the target's magic is exhausted.

Now you seem to be exhausting my magic and finishing your role.

Although the magic stone does not appear to have been taken away from it, it requires a minimum of magic power to be used.

Once completely emptied, demon stones cannot be used.

"But it's a clap out. I thought you had this tie for your people, but you didn't have to take away your magic to die."

"... hey"

"Oh, don't you want to move? Apparently, somewhat, you can see things calmly now, huh?"

I point to Elfi, who is rolling at the loss of his neck, and Marwin laughs disgustingly.

It's provoked.

But it doesn't work the way you think it does with a body that has lost its magic powers.

I can't move yet, even if I squeeze the sword pattern.

"Oh, yeah. -" Flamethrower (Flame Barrett) ""

"Huh."

From Marwin's arms, the flames are emitted with momentum.

The fever burned my skin, even though I recieved it with a sword.

"Is this... you're the one who burned the store?

"Come on, what do you think"

"... sounds different. When did you do it? Answer me."

"Just kidding. Now I'll burn you like that shop."

Immediately after declaring so, flamethrows fly in succession.

I can only recieve it with my sword.

The werewolf breed (Wearwolf) enjoy whistling at me like that.

But it won't last long.

Eventually I ate the flamethrower and I rolled down the ground.

"It's unusual. Once you saw it, you'll mourn."

Stop the witchcraft, and Merwin will.

"... hey hey"

"Oh, that's it, dude. Your Savior side makes me sick when I look at it. I can't afford that look, that's good."

If you fall, you won't let go of the sword pattern.

Keep your sword in your grip and stare at Marwin.

"If you show a human to perish, you'll have a good look."

That's what Marwin said when he shook himself and laughed at the way he was, like, overwhelmed.

Humans will perish?

"Soon Demon King Orteguia regains his power. In that case, man will perish."

"You... are you going to fall back on the Demon King's side?

"We just get to the powerful. I don't want to die yet."

Does my companion already know about that, too, and I have no upset about the werewolf species I refrain from.

"The first target is here - the United States. We help invade, clear up and join the Demon King's Army."

"... that's how you try to sell others again to help yourself"

"Yeah. Because I'm the most important thing. Is that wrong?"

…………

"Well, fine. Is it time to end this? Thirty years ago, we asked the ghost to leave here."

That said, Marwin pointed his arm at us again.

"Now, are you ready?"

Apparently, he's not willing to have any more conversations.

It's tidal time.

"" Flamethrower (Flame Barrett) ""

Flame bullets flying in.

In contrast,

"-" Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer) ""

Exercise magic.

He confirmed that the power of the unleashed magic diminished and gently doubled with the sword he held.

"What...?"

Stand up slowly before Marwin, who floats a stunner.

I ate a flamethrower bullet, but it doesn't do much damage.

The demonic resistance of the robe and the effect of the "Demon-proof Bracelet" have drastically diminished its power.

"... should have taken all the magic away"

Earlier, the one I've been gripping is the Jade Knife.

One of its effects is to heal the magic a little bit as long as your feet are attached to the ground.

Now that the absolute amount of magic is low, most magic has recovered during the conversation.

"... the kingdom!"

Marwin shakes up his arm and prompts the activation of the junction.

But the junction doesn't activate.

"What do you mean..."

"What's up? Are you done with the trick?"

"Huh... it's harder not to get too well...!"

Marwin rang his finger.

I guess I gave a signal to the ambush holding back behind the room.

But no one's coming out.

"... how come no one comes out!?"

Finally, Marwin exposed his upset.

Apparently, that's the end of the setup.

"You haven't noticed yet?"

"What... huh?"

Looks like you've focused too much on shaking me.

Elfi's neck and torso were being cut off and rolled to the ground.

Both of them are gone now.

"You can come out, Elfi"

"... um"

"Ha!?"

The door leading to the back of the wall opened and Elfi appeared from the inside.

The neck that should have been decapitated is connected, not a single scratch.

With a look even the ghost sees, Marwin looks at Elfi.

"He said he pretended he was killed on purpose because Io told him to be on his guard. Wasn't it just dozens of dogs holding back?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. You could have fought from the front."

"Hey... hey?"

Elfi currently only has a neck.

All other areas are physically adequate.

Having warned of Marwin's trap, I had asked Elfi to use my body for minutes to pretend to be dead and to do something about the trap being set while attention was being paid to it.

It seemed like he was planting all sorts of junctions for me, but it seemed like Elfi had destroyed it in the meantime.

Now all that remains is Marwin and the elite werewolf species.

"Well, are you ready?"

Alongside Elphi, he pointed his sword at Marwin.
