Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Episode Two: Two People Walking the Streets

Dardos Empire.

It is situated in southern Latesia, facing the sea in large measure.

Because of its environment, it is the most developed aquaculture and shipbuilding industry in Latesia.

We set up a coalition, and we came to the empire.

Overnight after shopping with this whether in port town or not.

We are now walking down the street that connects the port town to our destination.

It's just a street, and the road is better than the Urgus forest I went through when I went to the Union.

There are few clouds, and the sunlight that falls brightly feels good.

There aren't many demons out there either, except that the sea breeze makes my hair slightly sticky, so I'd say comfortable.

"An empire... momomogu. Was this a country that excelled in witchcraft?"

"You're brilliant, you've got a lot of magic research going on."

Inventing new sorcery is mostly an empire.

Quite a bit of a mess, it becomes a stream where empires invent new sorcery and kingdoms and pagans improve and simplify it.

Was it indeed an empire that spread the existence of "mind magic" to the world?

"Because the Empire is quite capable, he said, he is gathering in solidarity with the good magicians of other countries. The Lutheran bastard bragged about being heard from the Empire."

"Ngu...... Was it the Great Devil's Guide? Sure, he was quite a magician, but he didn't look like a coward, did he?"

"Actually, yes, except for the magical arm"

Regardless of humanity, aside from the magicians of the empires alongside them, the strength they called "the most powerful magicians" is real.

It seems to be fading now, but thirty years ago it was undoubtedly the strongest corner of humanity.

He was the type of rear guard typical of a magician, so he couldn't have demonstrated his strength without an avant-garde.

"Ham...... What kind of magician were you?"

"Should I call it wide area annihilation? He unleashed the magic of power that even leads to Orteguia."

"hahmm...... oh my god"

I guess that's why he stepped on it that he could defeat Orteguia without me.

"I don't care about that bastard."

"Hahmm...... Ngu?"

"... how much do you eat, you"

Elfi's hands as she steps in the mood.

The hot spring manju that had been bought up in the Union disappeared and now the seafood skewers are gripped.

This guy's been eating something ever since he left the labyrinth.

"No, Io. Don't lick the delicacy of freshly caught seafood. Try yours, too."

"Mmm...... No, it's delicious."

This guy only uses the rewards he got for crusading the labyrinth for food...?

I've been eating something while I was buying adventure gear and stuff in the Union and the Empire.

"You forgot? I'm physically hungry right now. You're constantly consuming magic for as long as you keep your body. Turn it off and you'll have some appetite."

Looking around Kyoro Kyoro and his surroundings, Elfi abruptly erased his body minutes.

A raw head floating in the air and two arms floating beside it.

Isn't it just a monster?

Looks like a lass boss in a shooting game.

"Here."

"Come on, get back here."

With such an exchange, I took the streets.

The sun came down as I walked.

Just like when we were in the Woods of Urgus, we share and get ready for the wilderness.

I was only doing it once, and Elfi was doing better.

I bought a tool for Nojuku, so it seems more comfortable than before.

I used pots bought in the Union and made soups with seafood.

I had no trouble with the ingredients in the dish because of the good ingredients in Elfi's head.

He says he was eating all those seafood skewers, and Elfi is pouring soup all over the plate to drink.

This guy's face is loose all the time when he's eating food.

"You soup! Itsuki, get the chef!"

"That's why I'm telling you it's me."

Apparently, she liked it.

"Phew..."

Finish your meal and take a breather.

All you can hear is the sound of the bugs and the shaking of the trees when you touch them.

"Hey, Io. What were you doing until you came to this world?"

Elfi, who was staring at the burning fire, suddenly asked me that.

"I don't know, you're unbalanced. Some parts are mature, others are young. With all that skill and strength, it would normally have reached some sort of frontier."

…………

I'm aware of that myself.

I have no eyes to see, I believe in my people, and I immerse myself in sweet ideals.

Not the flesh, but the spirit is terribly immature.

"... a student."

"Gaksey?"

"School... I went to school"

Before I came here, I was sixteen and I was in high school.

Days flushed around and spent somehow.

Except for the fact that my parents are dead in an accident... I should have been a regular student with weak intentions.

"There was no battle?"

"Not at all, but at least my country was at peace. There was no such thing as demons or sorcery, and it had nothing to do with the fight."

I never had the experience of someone betraying me terribly.

Speaking from the human world over here, is he the one with the head in the flower garden?

"The country where Io lived is a good place."

"... oh"

"Don't you want to go back to the original world?"

"When it's all over, I'm going to look for it. But..."

"... but?"

"I don't know what time is going on over there."

Actually, no, but it's been thirty years since I've been summoned to another world.

If time had passed that way, there would be no place for me when I got home.

I've barely changed my appearance.

…………

Silence.

The incineration makes a puckering noise.

Have you weighed the air down a little?

"Hmm."

"... elphi?"

Exhaling, Elfi stood up, most importantly.

"Speaking of which, you absorbed the labyrinth nucleus and got some strength back. I'll see how much stuff I can find out."

"... that's abrupt"

"Just right for my stomach?"

Break the heavier air and Elfi turns his arm around.

Well, it's a good opportunity.

I haven't tried my powers properly since the magic came back.

"Okay."

Move away from the fire.

Thanks to the moonlight, at night, but not so dark.

We distanced ourselves from each other and turned to each other.

"Phew... I hope you're willing to kill me"

Elfi smiled invincibly as she unleashed her magic.

Get your arms back, you're getting more magic.

Literally, they're confident in their arms.

Increases physical ability with the effect of a jade knife.

"Strengthen your body", "accelerate", etc., to improve your physical abilities.

The greater amount of magic allowed me to use some sorcery without having to use demon stones.

Nevertheless, if you use a degraded version of "Magic Taunt (Spell Divauer) or" Demon Destruction Seizure (Il Atalaxia), "you will take most of the magic, and" there is not enough magic when it comes to demonic reflexes (Impact Miller).

It still doesn't turn into a lack of strength.

Even though he's losing power, his opponent is the former Demon King.

He increased the effect of witchcraft to a limit where no burden could be placed on his body, and erected a jade knife.

"Hande. I don't use my arms."

Raise your arms to show, Elfi laughs.

He put his arms together and was moving his legs around instead.

I would be willing to come with a kicking move.

――――

With his hands on the pattern, he set up to hide the machete.

Keep your hips down and stop moving.

…………

Elfi gave me a strange look when I didn't move.

Then I whine, "Hmm,"

"Then you're coming from me"

With his arms together, he kicked the ground with momentum.

With its power, its feet fall and its grass shakes.

At the speed of a bullet, Elfi came in,

He doesn't use his arms as he says, and apparently he's going to attack me with his foot moves.

It's not just the arms, it's probably because they don't use magic either.

A jump that packs the time in an instant.

Just in front of Elfi entering our time, I moved.

"- Huh!!"

Stay together.

Counter swordsmanship, also known as the Pending Sword in this world.

It's a move to slay the first person you move in the moment you make it.

Decrease power and place specific gravity only on speed.

The highest flash of speed, which brought us as close as possible to the speed of the full season.

That blow, Elfi, was easy...

"Ah."

"Huh."

I didn't, I got morose.

The blade passes through Elphi's neck.

As it was, Elphi's neck flew to somewhere in the woods with Pawn.

A torso that has lost its neck falls to the ground with tosari.

"........................ eh?"

As the moonlight illuminates, what you see in your sight is Elfi, who lost his neck.

It doesn't even move pickly and the sound goes away.

That's when I thought about what to do.

"... ah"

Elfi's neck is back.

When I snuggle softly against my crying torso, I get up loosely.

There was a bead-like sweat on its face.

I let my breath get rough, and when Elphi stared at me,

"You're going to kill me!"

"I told you to come and kill me!?"

He was in a pretty hurry.

Hands on chest to keep palpitations down, wiping sweat.

No, you didn't have a heart right now.

"And I thought you were gonna die."

"... so much?"

"Looking at the flash now, it's pretty powerful back there, isn't it?"

"... no, not at all"

I couldn't have gotten that speed without sacrificing my power.

If you're human, you can kill them, but not if you're demonic or demonic.

Even at that speed, it would end up being played by a flaming dragon or a dirt demon general or something.

"... I've been thinking about it for a long time, but Io's sword arm is quite a thing"

"Well, somewhat."

... because at one point, my former buddies taught me.

"... I'm tired of something, I'm going to bed"

Then Elfi stopped the fight and went back under the bonfire.

Though he was alarmed, he was shocked to have his neck dropped.

If he's serious, he can't get close with the demonic eye first, and I think he was played with magic in the first place...

After wiping the sweat, I decided to go to bed, too.

Though it was a mystery that for some reason Elfi was getting pretty close when the fire went out.

Though questionable, I fell asleep.

The next day.

Alongside Elfi, walk the streets.

As we progressed, the landscape changed and we saw meadows in the distance.

"... I miss you"

"You've been here before?"

"Oh. Thirty years ago, when I came to attack the Dead Swamp Labyrinth."

Somehow I recognize you.

During my journey, I helped people being attacked by demons.

That's where I had a treat and danced to my breath as a thank you.

We also had a few friendly people.

What are the people of that village doing now?

It was time we were on the road, immersed in such nostalgia.

"... this is"

From the front, I could hear the horse hissing.

Not only that, but there is also a continuous sound of small explosions.

Look at Elfi and face each other and head slowly for the sounds.

"A demon..."

I saw a carriage being attacked by demons in the front.

The horse lords and those on board are using magic to fight demons.

The one attacking the carriage is a demon called "Mud Bear (Mad Grizzly)".

A powerful demon who uses dirt magic from his mouth to hunt down his prey.

That's six, attacking the carriage at the same time.

"... that's odd"

Mud bears act basically, alone.

It's not weird to start eating together if you get that many.

Even so, the mud bears were unusually dominant.

He's roughing up his breath, but he's not growling, he's collaborating and attacking.

It was as if something was manipulating me there.

…………

When I felt uncomfortable and narrowed my eyes.

A scream came from the carriage.

There are even one nasty demon, six of them.

Seeing it hold up, the magician in the carriage seems to stand on his arm, but won't hold it that long.

What's the matter?

…………!

At that time, one of the mud bears attacking the carriage turned to Grung and his neck this way.

Looks like you've been noticed.

Of the six, two stopped attacking the carriage and started running wildly towards us.

Just a bear, and its driving speed is quite a thing.

"Chip, do we have to fight?"

"Just fine. Make sure you get your arm back.

Disintegrating, the battle against the demons that had attacked began.
