Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Episode Eight: Departure, or Encounter

From far away mountains, the sun is peeking into your face.

Under the whitening sky, we were getting ready to leave.

We have more than a dozen minutes to go.

I pack my bags and Beldia is getting ready to go back to being a dragon.

Although Idler rows the ship with his sleeping eyes standing still.

"Beldia, are you feeling well?

From this village, travel on the back of Beldia to your destination.

Beldia's condition is important because her health affects her speed of movement.

"... no problem. I can fly perfectly to my destination."

Beldia nodded loudly, remaining in human form.

"Oh, okay. Hey, Idler. What about you?"

"Heh!? I haven't slept, I haven't slept well at all!!"

"What am I, a good sleeper?"

Vikri and his body tremble and idlers wake up rubbing drooling saliva with gossip.

I was about to die yesterday, but it wouldn't be a problem.

I've been observing this woman for the past few days, but she's strong on the back with the loose attitude in between.

Regardless of your physical condition, dexterity in overcoming the crisis will be with you.

Going now is the Demonic fortress managed by Gracia.

The fort is located in the southern part of the demonic kingdom in central Latesia.

It is set up to eat and stop marches from the Empire, and few demons are waiting.

No large-scale fighting has taken place in the last few years and the number of personnel deployed in the fortifications seems to be decreasing, but we cannot be alarmed.

We need to avoid fighting as much as possible and make sure we get to Elfi.

"... Still, it's early morning and it's busy"

The warriors in this village were starting their activities, even though the sun was just climbing.

The warriors seem to be running around busily and tightening the village's security.

"I just got attacked by a demon yesterday. With the life of a warrior chief, he's on strict alert."

To my whining, Tyra answered, who was here to drop me off.

It seems the level of vigilance is quite high, just because it's a strict attitude.

Two of Tyra's same "deputy chiefs" were seen from a distance giving instructions to the warriors.

"I'm sorry I couldn't drop you off, Lord Ikari."

"No, I don't mind. Thank you for staying the night."

I guess that's all I'm busy getting ready for.

The “distorted” Volk also said, "Thank God. I'll see you later." I went somewhere because you said you had business.

I feel weird being dropped off by the enemy, the Four Heavens King, and I feel so much easier without him.

"Lord Ivagi is strong, you're polite. I want you to stay in this village and be a child."

"What do you think?" He asked me face-to-face, and I can only smile and say no.

After a while of exchanging words with the unfortunate Tyra,

"" The Brave "and the Demon King's Army. We are in a hostile relationship, but it does not change that the Lord saved this village. If you have trouble getting anywhere, you should come to this village. Welcome anytime."

"Yes. Now, if you'll excuse me"

"... badass"

Say hello to Tyra and the warriors who came to see us off, and we left the village behind.

Away from the village, where no one is anymore, ask Beldia to look like a dragon.

There are a lot of problems with being a Black Flame Dragon in that village on a boulder.

Jump on top of Beldia and sit back on a gothic back.

Wait a while, but Idler's not coming on board.

"... Idler, get in quick"

Looking down, he was gazing toward the village.

"Oh, yeah."

He nods, snorts and climbs onto Beldia's back.

"What's wrong with you?

"Hmm...... No, it's nothing. There's nothing we can do about it."

Even though I care about the profound idlers, I don't have the time to be long.

Berdia winged him and started flying.

Scheduled arrival is at noon.

By noon, we should be at the fort.

If I don't get in the way of anything, I'm talking about.

Berdia accelerates and instantly the distance from the village widens.

The aerial travel is generally comfortable thanks to the junction tensioned by Idler.

As you look down, a number of mountains and valleys go far as they flow.

On the way, I was able to see the demonic stronghold and thoughtful building several times.

It would be a great advantage to be able to fly in the sky to be able to travel in disregard of the demonic tribes on earth.

Idler's magic is hiding our existence, which is one of the reasons why we can't find it.

"Let's talk about the future, where the comfortable journey to the sky has begun"

Idler, sitting next to him, opened his mouth with a serious look.

I can see Beldia in flight, turning her consciousness to her back.

"In a few hours, we'll arrive at the fort. The journey there is probably not to be found by the enemy because I am blocking everyone's signs. So the problem is after we arrive. Unfortunately, I can't get into Gracia's fort."

"Can I ask why?

"It's easy. No matter how much you block the signs, Gracia will notice the intruder if you try to recapture Elphiszark. When that happens, the battle is inevitable."

I guess.

Whatever it is, it won't be that easy on you.

Worst case scenario, you might end up bumping into the Four Heavens King in the middle of the fort.

"As you know, I'm not a good fighter. I am confident that one stray bullet will kill me. I'm sorry about that. So it's only in front of the fort that I can support."

"That's enough. Even if I got into battle with the Four Heavens in the fort, I should be able to get away with it. So it's better to have fewer people breaking in."

"... I'll get to your husband"

"Oh. Beldia needs to get here."

Even in human form, Beldia had enough fighting power. You won't be clumped with your feet.

Besides, I can take the means to get out on Beldia.

"It's something I'd like to avoid if I could, but when I'm surrounded by demons before I find Elphi, I'll use elephant magic to kick his ass. Even when the Four Heavens come out, they should be able to deal with it forcefully."

With the addition of Elphi, I am confident that I will be able to cut through even if I become in battle with the Four Heavens King and the Demons of the Fort.

If it's as powerful as the "distortion” we fought before, though.

If the "Gregorian of the Rain” or the "Four Kings of the Thousand Weird” class you once fought against is your opponent, the story will change.

"You better not be too alarmed."

So, Idler has advised me with a slightly more rugged look.

"Disappearance” is the descendant of a “struggle (Leviataine)" clan that once supported the Demon King's Army. Combat is not low. From what I've seen in the Patriarchate, it looks like you can use Lost Magic. "

"I won't be alarmed. In the worst case scenario, just fight. Avoid fighting as much as you can."

"I hope it's avoided. My prediction is we'll fight from the front."

You're not convinced of my answer, Idler doesn't break the rugged look.

"You sound like you're sure."

"Even if Io doesn't have a reason to fight you, it means Elphiszak has one."

"... what do you mean"

"- Gracia is the enemy of Lord Elphiszark's people."

It was Beldia who answered my question.

"... it was Gracia who sold Lady Elphiszark's people to Orteguia. She betrayed us."

It was Gracia who killed “Gregoria the Rain”, who was Elfi's subordinate.

It was also Gracia who told Orteguia where the Elphis were and killed their people.

It was also Gracia who caused Elphi to be enclosed within the Lucifina junction.

"Where did you find that out?"

'... heard from Gracia's mouth. That woman has tried to kill me too many times. That's when I heard it all.'

Unhidden feelings of hatred mixed with a flat voice made me understand the meaning of the word.

"Yeah, right."

Gracia.

I've heard that name several times from Elfi's mouth.

He said he was one of my trusted companions, who supported me.

Happily, proudly, sadly, repentantly, he uttered the name over and over again.

At the Naruto Labyrinth before, I saw Elfi and thought.

'This guy says he's my kind'.

Yeah. After all, me and that guy are alike.

What I wanted to do, what I'm trying to do.

No purpose, no means, no end.

"... you don't have to look alike."

Is he aware of Gracia's betrayal?

What would he have thought if he had noticed?

Is he still safe?

"... soon, I'll help you. We're accomplices."

Now I'll back you up so you can help me with my revenge.

So stay safe.

Leave the scenery behind and move on to the Demon King's Realm.

It still takes time to arrive.

Unclench your clenched fists, lick your bloody lips, and exhale.

Talk to Idler for a while to gather information to distract him.

Conversation paragraph, switching consciousness.

And

――――

It wasn't until soon after that that Idler breathed and raised his face so that he could play.

The gaze of the open peachy eyes is directed at a mountain that looks much smaller in the distance.

I'll look you in the eye, but I don't see anything.

but

"- Enemy attack!! Io, prepare for battle! Beldia, change the direction I instructed!!"

With an unprecedented and more incisive look, it coincided with Idler shouting hard.

At the end of his sight, the light blinked small.

Lights like bean grains become small dots and eventually thin lines.

The moment, even if it was no response, made me understand what it was.

"hey...!!"

'... what? Isn't Idler's magic supposed to keep the enemy from finding us?

Idler answered Beldia's question with a searing seeping voice, not understanding the situation.

"If you're definitely a general opponent, you won't notice my blockade! But if someone with a bad personality is someone who's familiar with this kind of magic (...), it's nothing to talk about!! I can't believe there was a guy near the fort!!"

Like screaming, right after Idler said.

Finally, they saw something approaching.

Beldia took a small breath.

- A huge mass of magic was approaching us with tremendous momentum as we shredded the earth.

Fort Levas, managed by Four Heavenly Kings "Disappearance”.

A woman stood at the top of a chopped rocky mountain, more than a dozen kilometres away from it.

The woman, wrapped in a beautiful dress interspersed with white and black, zeroes a murmur painted with hatred and disgust.

"- Why are you still alive?"

The magic blowing from all over my body shakes my dress and messes with my beautiful blonde hair.

Without even paying attention to the hat dancing through the universe, the woman's eyes stared at the far away sky.

Two giant birds, who had refrained behind the woman's back, roar and scream as if they were in tune with the Lord's wrath.

With that signaled, the woman wielded a great sword.

Magic rushes through the pattern of the Great Sword and concentrates in the center of the Great Sword.

Magic spiraled as if it were a tornado, and eventually a glimmer of light erupted from the blade of the Great Sword.

The ejected magic wears heaven and blinks in purple.

"- Come on, die."

Shortly after a woman waved her sword down.

A vast amount of magic was slaughtered, shredding the rocky mountains away towards the far reaches.

At the end of the slaughter, a dragon is dancing in the sky.

The woman's gaze stood on it, directed at one man.

"- Hey, Mr. Amatsu."

Woman - Lucifina Emilior whispered so as to throw up.
