Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

"This is..."

A long sword in a brown sheath.

Would it be slightly shorter than what I used in combat class?

"Pull it out."

Mr. Currier tells me to pull it out of his sheath.

Then his body appeared.

"Ooh..."

Place the sheath and try to grip the pattern.

…………

Yeah...... not too comfortable gripping, not bad.

I know it's due to physical changes, but I don't feel so much weight.

...... hmm?

"The part of the blade even looks thin and glowing... what's this?

Mr. Currier answers my question.

"When you grind the blade well with a special crystal, the sharpness becomes less dull. The thin green part is the part where it is processed. Oh...... because this works even if the sacrament can't handle it. Don't worry there."

"Heh..."

Its beautiful blade leaks my breath unexpectedly.

"Well, the craftsman with this processing technique is rare again... when an amateur accidentally gets his hands on it, the blade seems to be more useless"

…………

"What's up?

"... did you have enough money for this?

"Oh, my God, is that so? Oh, that's enough.... See, fishing."

I was given two pieces of copper coin.

"Until the change......"

"I was just lucky enough to find a moat. Besides, once again, I've traveled alone... and I'm used to small negotiations."

"Well, thank you."

"I don't need to thank you. Nothing. I didn't buy a holy sword or a demon sword with that money."

"Ha... well, holy swords and demon swords are things I have no connection to"

I learned about the Holy Sword and the Devil's Sword in class.

A holy sword is a sword with crystals embedded in it.

By pouring sacramental vegetables into crystals embedded in the body, etc., you can enhance various abilities in the sword, such as cleavage - that is the Holy Sword.

Meanwhile, a demonic sword is a sword in which a magic ceremony is carved into a body or something.

By pouring the sacrament into the carved surgical ceremony, it is transformed into a sword wrapped around the power of special surgery - this is the Devil's Sword.

This holy sword and the devil's sword, when I just ask for an explanation, I think, 'What a surprise. Doesn't that seem easy to make?'

In fact, I thought so at first, too.

but let the crystal processor tell you that both the holy sword and the demon sword actually seem to consist of a miraculous balance, and that it is almost impossible to create a holy sword or demon sword at the hands of a person?

In the past, several human beings have attempted to make the Holy Sword/Devil's Sword... all of which, they say, just poured in the sacred vegetables and the sword itself collapsed.

In the special material, the aptitude of the crystal to be implanted, the position of the surgical formula… I heard that various other factors stand in the making.

It's just... 'There are blacksmiths in the end-of-life homeland who can make holy swords and demon swords' - there are rumors like that... well, this is irrelevant now.

What is important is that, in both cases, sacraments cannot demonstrate their true value if they cannot be dealt with.

The Holy Sword, the Devil's Sword sounds cool. I also admire the sword... unfortunately, even if I had them, they would become a treasure possession.

Above all,

…………

Put your sword forward.

Mr. Currier saw for me the sword.

That's enough for me.

"Sorry, but I couldn't get around to the protective gear. So borrow your protective gear from the Holy Monument Hall. If we're lucky enough to find it in the Crystal during the attack, we'll get it ready then."

"Okay."

Mr. Currier takes the sword for the mock match.

"Well, it's time to get started... but let's cut the meeting short with the main hips today, and for the rest, we'll use that sword to do it lightly. I'm sorry, it's the same day I procured my sword."

"It's okay. I'll get used to it soon."

"Hum...... good intentions. Then let's do it."

"Yes."

Then I used a machined long sword to lightly match Mr. Currier's sword after he and I broke into each other with a simulated match sword.

…………

... I think my sword arm is coming up, too.

Maybe we should actually try and fight the demons at the sacred ruins before we decide if they're really getting stronger...... somehow, I feel stronger.

It also made me feel that way, because, after all, Mr. Currier was a good workout.

Every day, she took me steadily to the next level.

I figured that out.

Feeling free to raise or lower the level of the sword would be proof that she is awesome.

More recently... I have tasted the bottomlessness of Mr. Currier's strength more.

I guess this is because I'm stronger than before that I can feel her 'strength'.

Previously, Mr. Currier said, 'I can afford it if I'm alone or up to about twenty levels'... in fact, maybe I can really go alone.

On the other hand, I can feel a clear improvement over yesterday with regard to the control of the example 'senses'.

This one can hold a strong conviction that 'I can do it' compared to the arm of a sword.

While I fully enjoy the benefits of that 'power' - it takes longer to sustain my consciousness than it did yesterday.

The time between disconnecting consciousness and moving on to the next action is shorter than yesterday.

…………

Yeah.

I can.

If this is the case - even if you don't rely on the curse, you can surely fight in the Holy Ruins.

After the battle class, I was feeling a definite touch.

Lunch of the day was to be taken in the dining room with Mr. Currier while today's meeting of the Holy Site Strategy.

In the meantime, try to fight the demons that will show up along the way while aiming for the fourth tier to see how I grow.

That's what she told me today.

Speaking of which, I hear Cecily and the others are diving into the Holy Ruins from today on.

Mr. Currier said as he rode the boned meat wild.

"We can't lose, either."

Mr. Currier stares at me.

"What, what is it?

"... there's one thing I want to ask you, okay?

"Yeah, go ahead."

"If you have a curse... Um, how much can you use?

"How much, you say?

"I'm not sure what that is. So... I mean... wonder how much you're burdened with using it."

Oh, could it be... you're worried about me?

"No burden, sir."

"But, for example, dealing with sacraments to activate a surgical formula is very small and fatiguing. So, guys, where we can keep the ritual warm, we keep it warm... how about a curse ban on that?

"It's okay. I'm not tired of using it."

"Mm... Really?

Not really, I don't want to worry about it.

... It's true that I'm not tired.

"Yeah. Hey, that's a curse ban! Maybe it was a 'forbidden and spell' because it's too convenient to use all you want!?

"Hmmm..."

"Is that it? Hit me, Mr. Currier... are you worried about me?

"Oh, I'm worried.... because it's about you."

…………

Lightly, I don't know what to say......

Unexpectedly, this one blushed.

And, Mr. Currier dropped his gaze.

"About the curse... Actually, I'm not sure if it's something I can ask... you see, to anyone, there's something hard to talk about?

Hilarious, Currier glances over at me.

"I just... I was hoping you'd know if I was burdened... uh, what..."

After his teeth were cut badly, Mr. Currier pointed his mouth a little.

"The curse thing is a topic you don't want me to touch... do you?

"Huh? Could you have been reluctant?

"'Cause you never told me about the curse before, did you? So I was wondering if you didn't want to be asked..."

Oh, my God.

Become Mr. Currier, have you been careful?

Speaking of which, if you ask me, I hardly remember her talking about the curse.

…………

... Though I'm not going to dare to talk about the example 'feel' or the Curse King yet.

"No, never mind. I'll put it on topic, because it's perfectly fine!

"Oh well..."

"Yes! So listen to me!

"Mm... well, listen"

"Yes!"

Placing his arms on the table, Mr. Currier asked with an intriguing face.

"That weird black chain, what is it?

"... I don't know"

…………

…………

"You're a user, don't you see"

"... I'm a user, but I don't know."

"Right."

"Yes."

Silence.

"That... cook, we're going to freeze.... Why don't you eat?

"... Ah, yes"

"... tasty?

"Delicious."

"... good for you"

"... Yes"

This is how lunch ended today, very quietly.

I was wondering what they would ask... there.

"People, I knew it was decreasing..."

After school.

Me and Mr. Currier were coming to the square in front of the Holy Ruins.

I also thought yesterday when I came to the Hall of Holy Monuments to get ready, but there are obviously fewer people.

The cause is still...... I guess it's because of that rumor.

"You'll see how it goes."

Looking at the square as well, Mr. Currier said.

"Do you feel like waiting for information to come up from a diving student?

"I guess... confident students still dive. Most importantly, if you're frightened of Fae and demons, you're dreaming again, like a saint."

Mr. Currier's outfit today was the same as the one he saw when he first dived into the Holy Ruins, except that he was not in uniform.

Belts with small items, long swords, and a bracelet showing the reach hierarchy.

Exactly today, it doesn't look like a uniform.

I, on the other hand, am equipped with the "Crystal Blade Sword" (and I named it on my own), which Mr. Currier has looked after, and the black leather Cuiras I borrowed from the Holy Monument Hall earlier, a small hand to prevent demonic bites and blows.

Then a shoulder bag with tactical tools.

Of course, the bracelet showing the hierarchy is properly fitted.

Even so, all this, too, is what Mr. Currier made me see......

"If you do, you'll see it there, too."

Hung, snorts, and Mr. Currier looks at me.

"Huh? Oh, really?

"... sort of. You have a back length."

Now I'm carrying a sword on my back... yeah, to be honest, I wanted to try carrying a sword on my back for once.

Maybe it's the influence of comics and games, but as far as I'm concerned, I have this image of 'cool'.

I'm kind of glad to be complimented on that appearance.

"Does it weigh all right?

"Yes, there is no obstacle to movement"

"Right."

"Instead, Mr. Currier is the light attire...... are you okay?

"Well... when it comes down to it, there's a defensive technique. Above all, I don't even think a four-tier demonic attack could hit me."

"Ha... that's just great"

By the way, there are surprisingly many students who don't gut their protective gear.

There will of course be reasons, because of the ease of movement, and because, as Mrs Currier said, there is a defensive system of procedure.

However, their choice of light attire seems to be a big deal about sacraments.

Simply put, it is easier to take in saccharin if you were relatively exposed to the skin.

So many women choose to wear skirt exploration clothes?

This school, though, that there are also many noble sons.

Because clothes with high exposure can also be considered 'must', they also seem to be balancing there, thinking about each other.

On the other hand, do you think a lot of men expose their arms?

These are the things I learned the other day.

Well, it's been a little strange for a long time.

To go to a dangerous sacred ruin, I saw several dressed students who were somewhat lightly dressed and, on the contrary, armored in skirts with short lengths, which, depending on the way they looked, could also be received as unbalanced.

However, when I learned about the ease of uptake of the sacrament, my doubts dissolved.

I see there was a good other reason for the appearance of those girls than to tickle their male minds.

Of course, there are plenty of students in there who prioritize protecting themselves with protective gear, and scared people, for example, seem to get guttural.

The point is... in a nutshell, each person...

So, what Mr. Currier is wearing right now is clothes like black dresses.

I looked familiar in those clothes.

That's right.

It's the clothes she wore when we first met.

It's what I described as a "stylish black dress for combat" that was a blur of consciousness.

This is it again...

"Mr. Currier."

"Hmm?"

Gu, thumbs up and pokes.

"The clothes, they look good as if they're unusual."

"... hey, what the hell, from a stick to a stick"

"You don't have to light it up!

"And it's not lit! Do the right thing...... don't say it!

…………

"... hey, what are you nibbling at?

"No."

You were just turning your voice upside down, weren't you?

"Also, that's enough! I'm on my way! I'm leaving now!

Mr. Currier walks out with Stasta.

"Not at all... I'm not too nervous, you haha"

Pussy and angry Mr. Currier.

"I'm relieved that Mr. Currier is here."

"Ah well! Good for you!

"Yeah, I... I'm so glad I made it with Mr. Currier."

came, and Mr. Currier's knee bent.

"So you..."

I have a grudge. With my eyes, look at me, Mr. Currier.

Let's go, Mr. Currier.

"... oh"

Thus we turned our feet to the Holy Ruins.

Mr. Currier's long sword cleaves Goblin's neck.

"Gige...... g, goga......!?

- From behind, another one.

I swallowed a crystal blade sword to the side.

"Gee, gah......!

Goblin's chest cracks thoroughly and blue blood erupts violently.

The bodies of two goblins lying down, melting and disappearing.

Mr. Currier said as he laid his black sword on his sheath.

"... Hmm, that sounds like enough for a while, even without a curse or a ritual"

I stare at the sword at hand.

- Light.

And I obviously don't feel 'threatened' by goblins anymore than I did before.

Instead...... the goblin movement was enough to look sloppy.

I'm finally getting a sense of reality.

I'm getting stronger properly...

"Are you confused by your growth?

He thought I was inside, and Mr. Currier smiled.

"Hum...... I'm surprised too. A few days ago at the Holy Monument, you seem like someone else."

"... thanks to Mr. Currier"

"I hope so. Then look for stairs to the next level."

"Yes."

Mr. Currier started walking, and I followed him.

Then we spotted the stairs and headed to the second floor.

In the meantime, I didn't meet any other students.

I suppose there is also the characteristic of the Holy Ruins' partying apart from each other ', but the low number of students is still influenced by rumors.

On two levels I encountered Twin Cobolts several times.

Twin Cobolts are demons that show up in sets of two.

A short, dog-like head, man-shaped demon.

They attack with unusually developed nails and fangs.

Cobolt with large right ear and cobolt with large left ear.

They are referred to as right cobolts, left cobolts.

Because of its lumpiness, alarm may result in cuts and bite wounds...... but

"G...... gee!

"G...... GO!

Mr. Currier and I, at about the same time, mutilate the twin cobolts under one sword.

Twin cobolts dissolve.

…………

Even if we don't get to that 'feel', this hierarchy can do it in twelve minutes.

So far, I've been able to do it without sharpening my nerves to the extreme.

Does that mean my powers are up...

"You are well suited to me... is this also the fruit of the exercise?

"I think so"

"What do you say? Do you think we should keep doing this?

"Yes... you can"

Keep up the momentum, we're going for three levels.

Along the way, we also encountered imps, unicorn ants, etc., but it did not become a minor obstacle.

In the next three tiers, I also came across small cyclopses and Lizardmans - this, too, was lightly destroyed.

Nevertheless, it seems that the mystery of this Holy Site comes from ten levels, so this is still just the beginning of the Holy Site attack.

From the ten tiers, it is said that the tactical difficulty jumps...

By the way, statistically, the majority of students say it's average to go up to ten tiers in a year.

So, in sophomore year, between the ten and fourteenth tiers, you come and go.

And in the third grade, they seem to be able to reach the nineteenth hierarchy of protected species by graduation or not.

So, even if it feels so easy to get here, maybe that's normal.

Still... enough to realize I was getting stronger.

I look forward a little bit, Mr. Currier.

Above all... Mr. Currier is too strong.

Honestly, I hope there's no curse.

Nevertheless, it is forbidden to be alarmed.

I don't know what's waiting for me.

But we arrived at the four levels that were the purpose of the day without any particular hardship.

The landscape from the first tier to here is no different.

At best, so much so that the demons that appear have changed.

"Gargoyle? What do you mean, they went all the way to the four levels? '

Words I've heard before in the square.

Gargoyle, who was flying around the cage, came back to life.

This hierarchy will have that one.

Mr. Currier cut it out, paying attention to the surroundings.

"By the way, did you come to this school when the school director found you?

"... yeah, well"

"Again, you want to be a saint, too?

"You want to be a saint... you want to be a saint, don't you?

"Well, if you become a saint tree man, you'll get honor... Hmm, but you'll make it... I don't know."

"I feel like a goal for now..."

"For example... maybe it's moonlight, but you don't think about having a family and living in peace, or something?

"Family, is it..."

You never thought about having a family.

…………

"Hey, don't look like that...... did I say anything wrong?

"Huh? No, I... I never thought about having a family."

"... well"

It was then.

"- Mm?"

The stone floor began to vibrate.

Gradually, the wobble grows.

"Hey what...!?

"Ground ringing......? Regardless of the slight tremor when it changes inside, I've heard such a loud grunt on four levels."

- This year's holy ruins are in strange condition compared to normal years.

I remembered the words unexpectedly.

Today, so far, I have not met any Fae.

Not even an unusual number of demons have attacked me.

After all, that was just a rumor... yes, I was thinking about it.

But, or, you know, this...

"Hurry up and find your return device...! So far today, that's it."

Say, Mr. Currier just about ran out,

Around, inside the ruins, it swayed a lot.

My body leans big.

The next thing I know, it feels like...

Something...

"- Mr. Currier!

When I quickly regained my posture, I thrust her back as fast as I could.

Her hindsight seemed slight as she grabbed on and nearly fell into the foreground.

Immediately after,

Zudong,

And there was noise.

Before me and Mr. Currier, the stone wall 'appeared'.

No - to be exact, I 'protruded' from the bottom.

"... eh"

If I didn't push it over there... Mr. Currier...

While the shake does not subside, on the spine, something cold runs.

What, this is...

Go on, explosion noise.

The sound... from beyond the wall that separated me from Mr. Currier, I can hear it...?

Mr. Currier is trying to destroy the wall...?

Or - no way. I can't just deal with some sword. I'm fighting an enemy!?

No curse!

It can't be used for inorganic objects!

Damn it!

Find another way, somehow, bypass...

Blurry.

"Huh?"

My foot, it broke.

I don't have time to jump out, and the floors around me collapse all at once.

And it immediately attacked me - a floating sensation.

"Ugh..."

Wake up.

"... What is this place?... Ugh."

In the ruins, in the room...?

I did, my foot collapsed...

Look around.

Red...... Y?

Hmm?

The surrounding walls are glowing red...?

Red, crystal?

What the fuck?

This dark, red, disastrous atmosphere place...

There's something here.

Plus, multiple.

Eye gazing.

The monsters... are monsters.

Blue skin.

Arms deformed into axes.

Bright red, eyes.

Human type.

I know.

Fae - Blue Goblin.

A vicious demon, not leaking into examples of Fae names and incomparable with goblins.

Most of them have been confirmed in the Nine Hierarchies, but very rarely when they also show up around the Five to Eight Hierarchies, they were in the drawings......

No.

Now the hierarchy, I don't care.

…………

How many are there?

I don't really see it because of the darkness...... fifty?

Or, a hundred...?

A heavy noise echoed.

An eye that begins to accustom itself to the darkness captures the giant.

"-!?

The appearance is no different from that of Blue Goblin.

but its size was at least four times that of other blue goblins.

Huge species.

In the sacred ruins, he says he rarely sees it......

Moreover,

"Fae... giant species..."

I checked my gear quickly.

Nothing is missing...... but.

…………

Let's leave the backpack and the sheath of the sword.

When I pulled out my sword, I put my backpack and sheath on the spot.

Apparently, the Blue Goblins were watching how things were going, and they saw me move out, and they twitch, and they pack the distance.

Stand up while you're alert.

Set up a sword.

And

"I... curse ban - I ha, chain no king nari, most fruitful teno jail yori idesi wanno chain yo... I ga life nyoli I ga enemy restraint seyo - ninth curse - liberation"

A swarm of black chains emerged from a rift in the dimension, restraining a giant species coming this way directly from the front.

"I, Chain Ni Connected Garesi Prison no one blamed, Black Ki Demon Spear Nyoru Guilty Killer Lust...... Ninth Curse - Second World, Liberation"

Go on - many black spears pierced the giant species.

"G...... ge?

As if I didn't know what had happened, the giant species fell and fell on the spot... and began to melt.

Sweat erupts from all over your body.

Engage the teeth that are likely to stop biting, firmly, and securely.

First, one...

I exhaled briefly and rushed forward.

At that time, I run my gaze around.

The Blue Goblins seemed distracted.

but he immediately made an odd noise and attacked for this one.

Boss, I thought if I defeated the megalithic species, I'd be scared... but it just didn't seem to work out so well.

But for that moment, it's enough to buy the Blue Goblins some time they're worried about.

Apparently, this is a big room.

Once surrounded here at once, it would be quite a disadvantage.

So, to that passageway that seemed beyond the body of a giant species - just like this, running through it all at once!

Next to the carcass of a dissolving giant species, pass through.

From behind comes a flock of blue goblins.

Somehow, without being inhibited, we reach the passage.

The aisle is slightly higher in size and slightly wider in width than the aisle up to four levels.

Breathe out, run.

As it were, I managed to find an exit...

…………

I stopped.

Because

Because a herd of blue goblins have pushed from the front.

Now... I've been pinched, so...

I left my back on the aisle wall.

The Blue Goblins also keep a certain distance and watch how things are going.

…………

Fine.

Do it, I'll do it.

Blue goblins entering the field of vision will be designated as markers in a row.

Drag-and-drop guidelines make it easier to specify a range at the same time... Thank you. The curse ban is that I have to specify a marker once and for all.

As a result, even if activated collectively, there is still a limit to the number.

But even if...

…………

But I'll be back alive.

Above all, now, first of all, we have to make sure that Mr. Currier is safe.

We have to hurry.

"I forbid the curse, Nali, the King of the Ha Chain."

Absolutely, I'm going home.

"Fruit Teno Prison Yori Idesi Wanno Chain Yo"

Mr. Cecily, Mr. Makina, Mr. Mia...... and Mr. Currier.

Everybody's, back to normal.

"My life, Nyoli."

So the one that holds it back, there's no one left,

Just one, without exception...

"I, Ga Enemy Restraint Seyo."

- Kills.

"Ninth Injunction, Liberation"
