Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai

Episode 72: Noise

A native of the same Sixth Chamber as Mr. Currier.

What the hell is that guy...

"What can I do for you?

Lokia replied in a relaxed manner.

"Hey, I wanted to talk to you for a second. Hibigami's -"

I glanced anxiously at Mr. Mia.

"I'm sorry, but if you want to talk to me, can you ask me outside?

Thumbs up the door.

'Cause that's probably not the kind of story that makes her listen.'

Hibigami topic.

I can make her worry extra.

"Master Krohiko... it's okay, is it? Right now, with the Sixth Chamber..."

Laughing at the carefree Mia.

"Don't worry. I'll be right back."

Turn off the grin and turn back to Lokia.

Let's go, then.

Lokia nodded silently leaving a grin on her mouth.

I had him out of Lokia first.

And I went on, and I went outside.

I don't have one around.

A nearby woodland was shaking quietly in the evening breeze.

When it comes to other things that come to my attention, the lights leak out of the women's dormitory windows, and also about as much smoke from the dormitory chimney.

Rokia sat down on the fence surrounding the house.

"Don't be so calm. Compassionate, too. This guy's better than I imagined. What the fuck are you talking about?

"- Ninth curse, liberation"

"Ah?"

Dimensional holes appeared on all sides of Lokia.

The chain restrains Lokia.

"Ah!? Hey, what the hell!?

"Don't worry. All that chain has to do is restrain it if it stays that way. I'm not going to do any harm - for now. And keep doing this. Oh, my God, but I'm not hostile - this, too, so far."

A native of the Sixth House.

It's not known if it's harmful to me or the people around me.

but it strikes me unintentionally while I look sweet, what a normal thing it can be.

What you did to Mr. Mia may have been a cloth stone to keep me alert.

There was a slight stray... but in the end I decided to take the lead.

However, I remain anxious as to whether it is valid or not.

Because it was a series of fights with the giants on Hibigami and their opponents who would break the chain easily......

This man could easily get out of the chain curse, too.

I still have that fear.

"Fine! Don't leave!

Lokia raised her voice.

"This isn't the act of Temehe, Gozt! This guy's not gonna hurt me at the moment!

Calling on someone?

Gozt?

You got company lurking nearby?

Be alert to your surroundings.

Suppose he's there...... that's the jungle over there?

"No evil. He can't read the air of the place."

Earlier Lokia's words caught on.

"... how did you know I wasn't willing to hurt you?

"Kukukuku...... you'll see. You can't help but figure it out, can you?

"Is it something you can understand?

"There's no animosity or killing in Temehe right now. but I also know that if I were to be judged an 'enemy', I would not hesitate to attack. Your eyes tell you that, huh? Don't worry. I'm not going to do any harm, either, because if I'm going to do any harm to Temehe, I'm going to be killed by Currier."

No hostility.

That was the same for the man in front of me.

Rokia doesn't even show a bare gesture of trying to untie the restraint instead of a bare gesture of resisting.

I first considered the possibility that it was a surgical use because it was bare hands.

but if you try to use the surgical formula, it is impossible to use it as long as you are bound by that chain.

If further attempts are made to activate the surgical formula, those who do not know the nature of the chain should have a confusing reaction.

Like Mr. Makina at that time.

And if you showed such a reaction, consider it 'hostile'. I can reluctantly transfer my thoughts to the attack... I was willing to do that.

Were you keeping your people well on standby?

He is a clueless man.

…………

For once, let's not fail to be vigilant.

"So, what are you doing at this school?

"Same purpose as Currier, but I guess I should say"

The answer came back without getting my hair in.

"I mean, to look for noise?

"Ho."

Lokia rounded her eyes like a plate.

"Did he also tell you about the noise? Temé, don't let Currier trust you. Fuhahahaha... I've never met anyone who likes me from Currier and Hibigami."

"Is that such a surprise?

Besides, Currier doesn't like it from Hibigami anyway... I'm not too happy about that.

"You don't understand. You're too strong to bump into the world. There's that hibigami, isn't there? How dare you entrust him with a love knife after finding a lifelong enemy? So, I'm terribly interested in having sex with that lifelong rival?

"So you came to see me?

"Oh, it's going to be a long war, searching for noise, in my spare time."

Looking for noise, huh?

This man also followed a man named Noise to this school.

Noise Death.

Who the hell are you?

And Rokia talked about a lot of things even though she hadn't even heard it.

That the man who broke the detention room in the example is Gozt.

That Lokia herself went to school after deciding that she would not rely on it in that Gozt.

That the reason I'm chasing noise is to get my stolen love sword back.

Being the leader of the Kingdom of the Fools, one of the three largest organizations in the end-of-life home.

"Are you glad you told me that now?

"Ah? Courtesy, courtesy. Daring to reveal a secret from yourself is an effective way to earn their trust. The sharing of secrets creates trust. Damn, he's always too choosy."

When I say that, I also feel that the confidence level is broken...

He's kind of fuzzy and he can't grab it.

"But is this the curse of the example? Temé, you're a real curse man."

Look down at the chains into which Lokia restrains herself with such faces as intrigue.

"Well, once."

And what is it?

That calm, though restrained by chains.

After all, he's just leading a well-known organization in the end-of-life town, is he a big guy?

"Even so, Temeye - you have nasty eyes"

"Huh?"

Nasty eyes?

"You can call it the worst eyes"

…………

If you're the protagonist of a boy comic book I know, you'd probably be told to keep a good eye or something old teacher...... I didn't know you'd ever have a bad eye again.

Too much.

"Huh... I see. I also feel like I know Hibigami is obsessed with you. This guy is dangerous because he's the center of his spirit. Sure, if you give him direction, it could turn him all at once... both ways."

What are you talking about, this guy?

"Oh, what the hell do you know about me?

"I still feel confident looking at people. I told you. I know, I know. And -"

What is in that laugh of Lokia is an emotion close to joy.

"Temehe could be the best evil if he goes the wrong way"

Wrong way, what...

And the best evil.

I don't want to be on the side of justice, but you're not gonna be the best evil, are you?

"I don't know if it's because of the curse, but it feels ominous from Temehe. Foreign body, I wonder when. I don't know how to describe it... but right, being that I'm not supposed to be here, but should I describe it?

…………

What is it really, this guy?

"That's good. Hey, what do you say? Temee... why don't you come to me?

"What?"

"Fuhaha, you know what I mean. I'm asking you to be a member of The Kingdom of the Fools."

"Hey, what?

"I don't give a shit about putting it under me. With strength, the people around you will admit that Temehe has become king. No, it might be possible to end up totaling an end-of-life home, huh? Yeah, you're gonna do it with Hibigami in three years, right? There's no shortage of opponents over there to get ready to fight Hibigami, is there? You just have to kill the one you really like."

"Hey, give me a minute. Whoa."

So what are you talking about, this guy?

"Well, do you need any other rewards? What, money? Or are you human? Whether you want a woman or a man, I'll get you a beautiful place, okay?

"Hey, why are we suddenly talking about that? Where the hell did you find value in me in this short time?

"Those two... the fact that Hibigami and Currier are obsessed with Temehe first guarantees its value. Well, until we talked face to face like this, I didn't really know how awesome Temehe was either... but I already did."

Lokia seemed happy.

"It's not just that I have the curse in me. Temehe has qualities that can make him the best outward path. Well, by purity."

I'm not sure what you're talking about.

Pure?

Me?

Besides, what's the best way out......

Cook, and Lokia laughs delightfully.

"That unconscious proves everything, doesn't it? - Hmm?

"Sounds like you want me to kill you before Hibigami does, Rokia"

A stabbing sharp voice.

Me and Lokia's gaze goes to the voices - the voices come from the woods.

"Gu."

From the midst of the jungle, a man in charge of the coffin popped up with a bitter groan.

And the man fell at the front.

The man is a skinhead, growing a moustache.

I just can carry that big coffin and I'm in good shape.

Looks like quite a few years from the look on my face I could see......

Probably the guy named Gozt.

Unlike Lokia, she was not wearing a uniform.

"Shh, sorry, Lokia"

It emerged from behind Gozt, who speaks such an apology,

"Didn't I tell you? I'll miss out on you for moving to find noise, but if I get my hands on Crohiko, you need to understand?

It was Mr. Currier in uniform.

He has a cold, moonlit look.

"Wait, Currier! As you can see, I'm under a curse!? Besides... I never said I wouldn't make contact with Sagara Crohiko."

do it, and Lokia laughs.

"I said, 'I'm not going to hurt Sagara Crohiko or make you feel bad,' huh?

"Reduce your mouth... are you okay, Crohiko?

"It's okay. Nothing has been done."

"... well. Yeah, you can break the curse now. 'Cause if this guy makes any strange moves, I'll get rid of him right away."

"Wow, I get it"

I broke the ninth curse.

And after the chains disappeared,

"Yeah, well, I'm sorry..."

That's how I spoke to Lokia.

"Ah? What?

Lokia tilts her neck while getting her uniform in place.

"No, because I used the curse without even listening"

"Oh... don't worry. Temehe didn't do anything wrong. Instead, if you'd followed me wheelie without any feelings, that might have been the disappointment."

"You... you're a good one"

"What?"

"I kind of figured it out when I talked to you too... you're not such a bad guy"

"Crohiko!?

Mr. Currier raised a rare and bare voice.

Meanwhile,

"Hu...... hu haha, hu haha!

Lokia laughed high.

"You think I'm the 'good one'!? Hey, did you hear that, Currier!? This guy just called me a 'good one'!? The Demon King of the Kingdom of the Fools! Where the hell am I supposed to look like a 'good-looking guy'!?

Ni, and Lokia warped both ends of their mouths wide into arcs.

A tooth as pointy as a fang peeks.

"But, well... Temehe is a man who can take precedence over his standards. I don't hate people like that. What do you say? Just now, why don't you seriously think about it?

Mr. Currier approached me and held me as if I were going to give it to him.

"... What did you bring to Krohiko?

"Kyu, Mr. Currier, that, ah, it's a hit..."

There's a chest over the uniform.

"Nah, I was just asking if you were interested in my organization."

"What? You..."

"Wait, wait. I'm not forcing you, and I'm not going to. In the future. But, well... turn Temehe and Hibigami over there, but maybe it's the kind of person you want."

Hiu, and.

Mr. Currier, momentarily away from me, released a sharp kick as if to prune Lokia's neck.

"It's dangerous, isn't it, Temee! You were going to kill me now!?

Rokia leaned hard and avoided kicking.

"Hung...... the one that doesn't kill but says what"

"Ha, you're as horrible a woman as ever to be happy with. Themé is! Besides, if you kick it with that clothes, you'll see it... in front of my dear Lord Krohiko. Don't you think?

"I just saw about my underwear...... oh, no -"

Mr. Currier looked at me anxiously when he put the end of his skirt away.

Uh, um... what I see is the fact...

"Heh? I thought you'd be ashamed of yourself in front of the man you love? Fuhahahahaha, once again they showed me something unusual. That Currier Verstein embarrassed me. I knew if you changed, you'd change."

"... Krohiko will never go to the end of life. I won't let you go."

"I don't know if it's too protective. It's a little insult to assume that Crohiko is just a man who will always be protected by Temehe."

"I don't..."

"It's more about noise than that."

So Lokia switched the subject.

"You've apparently spoken to Crohiko. I don't know if Teme wants to get Krohiko involved or not. I don't know."

"I... would like to cooperate if there is anything I can do to help Mr. Currier. So looking for someone named Noise also wants to help if you can help. So I'd like to know the information."

"That's what Crohiko says. Well, isn't Temehe disputing it?

Ms. Currier, while showing a moment of hesitation at Lokia's inquiry, agreed.

"Not that I have any objections... but I thought we should talk about the situation."

Then when she soothed the air slightly, she spoke to Lokia.

"There's one thing that bothers me about that noise."

"Hmm? What?

"You know about the giant who showed up at the Holy Ruins the other day?

"... for once. What's wrong with that?

"I was a little concerned about the nature of the giant."

"Ah? Nature?

"Think of that unusual absorptive power of saccharin as if it were someone else."

"I mean... are you trying to tell me it was like me?

The two sights intersect.

A slight tension flowed.

"No, I don't think it was you. but one thought came to mind today. The idea that the giant was created by someone."

"So, you think the giant was made with reference to me? If so... there will be only a few people who can do that?

"You know what I'm saying?

"Noise."

"Oh, that's what I think"

"I see, that's what happened."

Noise could do it.

That's what Lokia wanted to say.

"Why were giants and small species able to make hierarchical moves that shouldn't have been able to be demons of the Holy Ruins? Besides, the small species the giants were able to follow were attacking the demons of the Holy Ruins. From this it is possible that giants are not demons of the Holy Ruins. Giants and small species were foreign to the Holy Monument."

"So Temehe wants to say that those giants were 'created' in the Holy Ruins by noise?

Mr. Currier nodded.

Lokia starts messing with the throat buddha.

"The purpose... is to make a mistake in Currier."

Is that what Mr. Currier wants?

I wonder what that means?

"And later I realized... that maybe Noise was inside the Holy Ruins at that time"

"Huh?"

Was Noise Death in the Holy Ruins?

"Crohiko."

"Yes, sir"

Mr. Currier's gaze turned to me.

"What did you look like, that giant?

"Huh? I thought you were the demon of the Holy Ruins..."

"Well I guess so. Normally it is natural to think so because it appeared in the sacred ruins. Moreover, lately there have been rumours of anomalies in the Holy Ruins. No one would wonder if an unknown demon appeared."

Mr. Currier tried to explore his memory and did his hand to his jaw.

"So. That time... after Fiburg, there were some students from the Fiburg squad who showed up late, right?

Mr. Beoza and several students who have fled the giants and small species.

They came a little after Fiburg.

"Shortly after, you had a student running over here first and taking Cecily's hand, didn't you?

"Yeah, yeah."

"This is what the student said as he asked for help." It's like a blued golem, "he said."

Explore memory.

Yeah.

I do think that's what he said.

Although I didn't feel particularly uncomfortable at that time because the situation was a situation......

Mr. Currier continues.

"But we all used to call ourselves the Titans when we were crusading."

"Speaking of which, you did"

Hmm.

I mean, is Mr. Currier caught up in what the female student said 'golem'?

But what does a golem look like in this world?

Then Mr. Currier started talking about the golem as if he were going to answer the question I had in mind.

"Certainly there is something called the 'Golem' that we create with a spell chant. but now it is generally considered a lost spell. Further demons reminiscent of the Golem are not in the Holy Site Atlas...... why did the student use the word 'Golem'? I realized later...... I felt uncomfortable"

"But isn't that just what the student said about associating the golem?

Lokia pinched the question.

It makes sense.

It's quite possible that he just came out with a mouthful of guts knowing about a book or something.

It may be somewhat impossible to cut off only that statement and determine it suspicious.

but Mr. Currier was also thinking there, he said.

"Maybe."

I admitted my Lokia doubts lightly.

"But that's not all."

Apparently there were other ingredients for discomfort.

Mr. Currier will have a face that explores his memory.

"The way that the girl student broke her protective gear was odd. I don't know... a deliberate way of breaking, I guess. Besides, the only female student in that Fiburg squad wasn't scratched at all. The rest of the students were scratched."

That's right.

Sure, only that girl student was intact just because her protective gear was damaged.

I was just wondering if you were lucky then...

Hmm?

Is that it?

Speaking of which.

I remember another thing.

Before Operation Crusade.

There was a time when the squads of each other out of the dining room bowled together and Mr. Currier couldn't stand the incitement of the Bashkartas and gave his mouth.

At that time,

"No, I mean, that silver-haired guy is beautiful, but scary."

I think it was the same female student who said so.

…………

"Maybe it's my fault."

Mr Currier was the last to say so.

As of now, it may just be speculation after wearing a slight slim fit.

But I guess I can't abandon that little possibility because I'm a hometown who knows Noise Death well.

Noise Death.

If that girl student was really noisy.

It blends into the field too naturally.

If you say so - it's not as if it's a noise on the field.

No visible claims.

Nor is it clearly shaped.

However, despite the lack of a clear form, it does exist.

The playing name for Noise Dees is Intangible Play.

That's what I heard.

Stay intangible, play.

Somehow, I felt like I was beginning to understand what her playing name meant.

Then one question arises here.

But why bother doing that...?

Hmm?

Wait, wait, wait.

"Huh? But you don't notice? You're from the same sixth house, right?

Were you even in disguise?

"Oh, you didn't tell me. Noise is also a user of lost golem-generating spells -"

Mr Currier said with a face that seemed bothersome.

"I'm also a user of change spells that can freely change my face."

We talked a little since then.

Looks like Lokia will stay inside the school like this and proceed with the investigation.

For once, he said he was going to have to look up the school students' data and how they have been lately.

For example, whether there are any students whose condition has changed since a certain time, etc.

Do you think that information is obtained mainly by focusing on financial rewards, by clinging to their weaknesses, or by giving them what they want?

Yeah, I see it. It seems surprisingly tough and discreet.

Currier, on the other hand, asked Beoza shortly about the example of a female student.

The Fiburg squad should have preferred the members, so they would not have added the unidentified to the squad.

Then Noise would have become the student.

The idea seems to be that if you wash around the students who were making it up, something might come up.

It would be easy for Mr. Currier, who saved Mr. Beoza and the others, to extract information.

Ms Currier also said that she seems to be blinded by the condition that she does not threaten her area of life with regard to the current behaviour of Lokia.

for the purpose of catching noise.

So, it's me.

"Talk to the school director when you have time. I'll leave it up to you to give out the information. That schoolmaster is smart. They'll work it out."

I got a deal with.

"What I do, is that all you need?

"You're doing great with the school director, so please. Besides... keep it this far, but I don't want you to go in there if I can. Catching noise is the best I can do, and I'm going to do it with Lokia."

"When you need my help... tell me whenever you want, right?

"Oh, then, please"

When we were talking in that way, I guess I finally couldn't stay or not, Mr. Mia with an anxious face stepped out the door.

"Um... ho, are you sure you're okay? Earlier, I heard something loud..."

The conversation was naturally broken down there.

She told me she would be back soon, and Mia went back inside the house.

It wasn't sneaky to make Mr. Mia worry any more, and the noise story isn't like making her listen.

I don't want to involve her poorly.

Mr. Currier also immediately cut off the subject of noise.

From the way things were, she seemed to think the same thing as me.

Besides, long talk in here might make you suspicious from the girls' quarters students.

"Right, suppose to disappear here today... hey, let's go, Gozt"

"Uhm."

Until then, Gozt stood up, clawing on the ground and holding still.

By the way, he hasn't been in a conversation before.

"If we go to this school, we'll face each other again. You don't have a scary silver-haired woman. But let's just say we talk again carefully, no curse."

"... sounds like you want to die, Rokia"

"That's what's down Crohiko's liking now!? Ha, I wonder if there's such a strong woman to blame! Shit, B, why don't you try being a woman!? That Ferrill lady!?

"... ooh"

"That's why, Crohiko! Scary sister at best. Watch out! There's no such thing as a beautiful woman in the first place! Huhahaha, huhahahahahahaha! Bye! See you around!

With such a winning high laugh, Lokia waved flirtatiously and disappeared into the groves with Gozt.

Mr. Currier with the muggy face and I will be left behind.

"And for now, shall we go inside?

"... yeah"

"Mr. Currier?

"Me...... scared?

"Well, just now, hey"

"... ooh"

He said, "It's okay! Because I know very well that Mr. Currier is a kind man of roots!

Yeah... we need to change the subject!

"Speaking of which, did Mr. Currier just happen to pass through here?

I suddenly came out of the woods.

"Mmm... I was hoping to rent a bath at your house"

"Take a bath?

"There's a bathing area in the girls' quarters, but I'm not used to the gaze that other students are looking at me... but I sweated today because I was auditioning with Cecilies, so I wanted to sweat."

"I don't mind if I borrow your bath."

And it's not like I own it.

It's like public goods.

"I'm sorry. I'm floating in the girls' quarters, so I'm always seen with strange eyes. I think I need to get used to that feeling... but I don't know."

Mr. Currier breathes in a troubled breeze.

"If it's a malicious attitude, I can ignore it, but it's not malicious to be directed, so I'm confused."

Isn't that aspirational?

Mr. Currier seems hot for girls, too.

Well, I know I feel like I can't get close without knowing the crowd.

That's probably why the girls students are only able to send thermal gaze away from the person as a result without measuring distance.

Mr. Currier went into the grove and came back with a hemp bag in his hand.

Looks like I brought you a change of clothes.

"So, do you want to go"

We went home together.

And when I walked into the house and told her what was going on, Mia said,

"Then this is it for me today"

And I tried to leave.

"Huh? Are you leaving?

"Oh, I'm ready to take a bath, don't worry. The water should still be hot."

"I'm not..."

"Hehe, I won't do anything wild either. Master Currier, please relax."

"Mr. Mia, you know..."

"Oh, yes, Master Krohiko."

I was easily blamed by Mia for putting up my index finger.

"To?"

"I don't care about me... please, Currier, feel free to guess"

Mr. Currier's mood?

"Then again, if you'll excuse me."

As she bowed down, Mia walked out of the house.

What was that?

While I floated the question mark, I sat in my chair waiting for Mr. Currier to come out of the bath.

After a while, Mr. Currier comes out of the strip.

"This...... am I glad I borrowed it?

Mr. Currier came out with the hot air as he wiped his hair with the cloth he usually used for bath towels.

"Yeah, yeah."

"Thanks for the help. Even without a surgical machine, it was decently hot good water....... hmm? Hey, what's up?

"Oh, no..."

I wonder what it is.

Mr. Currier looks colorful because of the hot water.

My hair is moist and wet and Shizuku drips from the tip of my hair from time to time.

My eyes also look a little moist because my face is hot and upbeat.

So, it's clothes.

I guess I changed my underwear and other clothes.

What I was wearing was a uniform I was used to seeing.

but usually the front of a tight jacket is open...... its, because of the thin white clothes you are wearing inside sucking moisture, transparent -.

No, you can't.

Don't look.

I'm not a gentleman seriously here.

I meditated hard on my eyes.

"What are you doing?

I felt my voice near me and slightly opened my meditating eyes.

"Hmm? - Wow!?

A bent Mr. Currier was peering into my face in front of me.

Beautiful eyes like gems stare at my eyes, wondering.

I mean, from here, um, my chest...

"Kyu, Mr. Currier, stop! Danger!"

"He said it was dangerous... what?

"Let's sit in the chair first, shall we?

"Oh, oh."

Mr. Currier sits in a chair with his little neck tilted.

In the chair next to me.

I thought I was going to sit right over there...

I'm scared.

Wow - more than normal, isn't it a girl?

Isn't that Lokia guy with rotten eyes?

And, I notice that Mr. Fuand Currier has a face that doesn't float.

"Currier,?

"You... you're not going to Lokia, are you?

Pompous and that's how she leaked.

I cared, didn't I?

I laugh.

"I'm not going. As long as Currier's in this school."

A grin also returns to Mr. Currier's mouth.

The usual cool grin.

"Right. That's what you said... I'm glad to hear that."

Her eyes loosen.

A gentle silence flowed.

"Hey, Crohiko."

"Yes."

"Do you want to know why I followed Noise to this school?

Mr. Currier shakes his head gently.

"No... you want to talk about it, I will"

Mr. Currier asks for permission to laugh bitterly.

"Can I talk to you, please?

"Go ahead."

Mr. Currier turned forward and put his hands together on the table.

"Noise, they know where the woman who built the thirteen orphanages in the end-of-life home is."

Originally there were thirteen orphanages.

But only the Sixth House remained in that desolate and chaotic land.

I'll shut up and wait for her next word.

"Perhaps Noise is the only person in the Sixth House who knows where that woman is. Abandoned us, where is she?"

Hung, and Mr. Currier continued.

"Well, I don't resent what I threw away. A place like that would make anyone want to escape. I just... I want to know. The purpose for which that woman created thirteen orphanages in her end-of-life home. Trying to raise us in that hell, that's why."

Mr. Currier turned to the void with his eyes lit by a faint but determined thing.

"The words that woman said to us before she disappeared... that I still remember clearly"

Mr. Currier's eyes were directed towards a distant past.

And she said the words quietly.

"'I have created the supreme failures. I was too sweet'"
