Sanzen no Souru Supina

"The unclean king."

Ashley was murmuring as the words flew into her brain.

I recall his appearance in the murals that have been painted along the way.

In Ashley's whisper, the majesty of the alien appearance distorted the oral cavity with a structure different from that of humans.

"You call us unclean?"

"Otherwise what? Let them go!"

"We were just asking for legitimate consideration.The injustice is yours, Earthlinger. "

"I'll be legitimate... for what?"

Ashley was confused by the magician on the altar, who stood beside the altar where Kirsch and Esther were hanging, and braced his arms and distracted his chest.

"What are you saying?"

"We have kept this air garden: the underground world of Israel-Huperia clean in exchange for a price.The more distracted you are, the more humiliated you are. "

"In exchange for a price? Long years? Keep clean?Isla Hupelia...? What do you mean? "

"Are you one of those bloody dragon kings?"

The first of the Magus eyes stared at Ashley with a murmur.

Her eyes, like those made by polishing amber, have the "Chikara" when the iris part is golden and the magic eye is shiny.

I couldn't understand what the Magus was saying, but I remembered the Dragon King's name.

Dragon King ─ ─ Are you talking about Smaugard?!

"Who else is there, fool?"

The Magus kicked Ashley's question.

I have to name it to keep asking questions.

The fact that some of the eleven clans of the devil weave curses with their names on their feet is an Ashlet that has received sufficient attention from the Princess Witches of the Earthspider before.

But we have no choice but to name it here.

Beyond showing attention to the order and manners of naming, the principle of behavior of these heretically alien knights in front of us is related to the "knighthood."

I had no choice but to bet there.

"I am Ashley, Ashledau Barrage. Former Knight of the Paladin.Now he's dead and wandering.And ─ ─ ─ to the princess of the water snake, the dragon king you hate: the one who swore to defeat Smaugard! "

After all, Ashley's famous name was more effective than I imagined.

From the mouth of Zawari and the knights surrounding him, a voice that neither groaned nor roared was heard.

"You said you would defeat Smaugard, you grounder."

It was the Magus standing on the stage who asked.

Anyway...

"I swore to the princess of the snake who runs the water..."

The Black Wizard asked as he stood.

Just because I was asked doesn't mean I have to answer honestly.

Now it was Ashlet's turn to stick it out.

"I am named. If you're going to ask a human, it's your turn to name it."

The knights around him stood in color and apparently killed, but the Magus on the stage showed another reaction.

"Ha ha ha, this one's taken.Surely that makes sense ─ ─ let's name it. "

The opponent was tough, and Ashley stepped on it.

I don't get caught up in cheap provocations.

Measurement that further accepts and swallows the enemy's words.

Humans call it the King's Mind or the King's Vessel.

He looks painful when he despises them as sludge, inferior creatures born in pristine waters.

Ashley renewed his perception.

Magus takes his name.

"My name is Cure Zabain. Cure Zabain Lucilluke."

"Cure zabain... Lucilluk?"

Ashley felt uncomfortable in the name.

It seemed like a name I'd seen or heard somewhere.

But reality is not long enough to allow us to follow our memories.

"That means reciprocity, Knight of the Groundmen.Now, let's ask again. You said you tied it to the Princess of the Water Snake.That damn Dragon King: I swore to beat Smaugard. "

Straying from his upper body with his arms braced... no, the Impure King: Cure Zabain asked.

"I see. But you may actually be lying to a dwarf.How do you prove that vow is true? "

How about in her name?

Huh? And the Impure King: Cure Zabain's first eye has narrowed.

Cucumbers and reptiles, vertically like that.

"Tell me, and I'll know if you saw him directly with his princess."

"Miyatis Jarjajjul, not nicknamed."

A few seconds, Pure King: Cuazabain did not move.

Then I nodded slowly.

"Knowing your name here means that you've at least seen her or received a verbal curse just like us...."

Hmm, the Impure King put his hand on his chin.

"Hello, did you activate the water facility?"

"No, that's my job."

Ashlet answered without putting in her hair.

There is no doubt that some of the flow of water that sounds and falls into the huge space is from the water facility that Ashley opened up.

"Unbelievable."

"It's true. Believe it or not... the amount of water flowing in here is increasing. It's also clean."

…………

The unclean king silenced again.

I can't ask Ashley what he's thinking from that look, but he seems to be thinking.

"How did you melt his princess's heart?"

"With courage, wisdom, and my heart."

Heart and blood are literally Ashley's own heart and blood, but there is no explanation for that.

Rather, Ashley replied.

How do they know about Maya, who is trapped in the deepest part of the water facility, who lives at the bottom of the groundwater system?

That's what I wanted to hear.

"What I Know"

The Impure King: said Cuazabain.

"The words of the princess's mourning and resentment were mixed in the water, flowed into the leaves of the tree that danced as a curse, and flowed into our empire.The compatriots who took it were burned by the curse of the enchanted princess, renewing their resentment against the Dragon King.Who has the same heart. She's a strange princess, but she's a comrade. "

The Impure King talking about Maya: The tone of Cuazabain had a slight fever.

The sludge (Ooz) knights looked at Ashlet with a slight but varied look.

Perhaps for these knights, Snake Princess: Was Marya the object of worship?

Just as human knights see princesses and saints to defend themselves.

Even so, it is.

Ashley spoke out against it.

"Her heart is hers - anger and hatred.It's just a self-explanatory projection. "

I couldn't help but think of Marya in Ashley.

"Well, whoever actually saw his princess and swore an oath of vengeance is different."

Slightly brave, but unclean king: Cuazabain admitted his disagreement.

Ashley stroked her heart and chest down.

Unfortunately, what I'm selling is quite a fine way to sell a fight.

If it was a small number of opponents, it was no surprise that it developed into a one-off situation.

But behind Ashley's heart, the situation seems to change even more dramatically.

The thoughts of the unclean king were far beyond Ashley's imagination.

"Well, this is a long story, but you can't help but say we're comrades."

"Hmm?! Why is that?!"

"We want revenge on Dragon King: Smaugard.You swore an oath to defeat this. [M]Our interests coincide. "

"Comrades aren't about matching interests!Like-mindedness is not what it is! "

Ashley felt an unspeakable disgust at Cure Xabain's attempts to crush the relationship.

During the intimate relationship that I had only with Maya, I felt like I was caught in the ground.

In response to Ashley's awesome reply, the magician's eyes narrowed.

"Hmm... but you won't admit to being our comrade, will you?So you're saying you refuse to collaborate with us? "

"If you want to cooperate, give back Kirsch and Esther!It's all from there! "

At Ashley's sip, the dark magician silenced three times.

For a while.

Strange maggots are the Unpure King: Cuazabain's dark flesh peeks into his face and dives again, but he doesn't possess a soul.

Humans can read a little emotion from their expressions, but they can't feel anything from the Knights of Sludge.

"First of all, return the two princesses.That's... an unacceptable offer, Knight of the Groundmen. "

How much time has passed?

Probably not for a long time, but after a feeling of infinite silence in Ashley, Cuazabain answered.

"What, in the back?"

"The first thing I said, stay where you are, knight of the Groundmen.I can't respond to your request.These princesses are just rewards for the humiliating slavery we've been playing in this underground sewer world.Even if it's humiliating and unequal, it's based on a hard contract - and it's only a small part of it. "

And the unclean king: Cuazabain snapped his jaw.

The knights narrow the siege to respond.

"Besides... if you're not gay, there's no reason to follow your words.My compassion and respect for the men who have taken the lives of my compatriots for decades have been relentless in treating them as comrades.Then you deserve your reward. "

Farewell.

Yes, the Impure King: Cuazabain said almost simultaneously that the hall was wrapped in flash and the floor under Ashley's feet was lost.

And then something soft and warm flew into my arm.
