Shinka no Mi

To Terveil from the Forced Brigade

"- The emergence of a dungeon...?

"Goodbye."

I was called by Mr. Berna to visit the dean's office.

And now they've just announced the emergence of a dungeon.

... um... I only know a thing called dungeon, about where [the endless forest of sad love] and the Black Dragon God were...

"Is a dungeon such an easy and sudden occurrence?

"No, that's not what's supposed to happen. But it seems that the apostles and the others of the [Demon Order] in the meantime used their strange powers to vandalize the woods near the school."

Speaking of which, you heard Al was exploring the woods at Mr. Berna's behest. Was there an apostle from the [Demon Church] there?

"You mean it's a new dungeon, right?

"No, I can't say enough..."

"Huh?"

I lean my neck against Mr. Bernard's words.

That's enough to say that a dungeon has emerged, and isn't that a new dungeon?

With that in mind, Mr. Berna was polite enough to tell me.

"Sounds like you don't know how it is. Of course, there may be new dungeons, or there may be two types of dungeons that originally existed that could have new entrances. If it's a new dungeon, you can attack it normally, but if it's another entrance that leads to a dungeon that already exists, it's a little different. Sometimes in some things the entrance to the same dungeon is all over the country and each of them is present in another country. In that case, we need early detection and intelligence gathering because we fear war will be used."

"I see..."

I didn't know the entrance could be in another country or anything like that would happen.

"For that reason, we can't overlook the emergence of a dungeon."

"Well, this time you called me..."

When I said that, Mr. Berna looked at me with a serious look.

"Mm-hmm. Makichi wants you to attack that dungeon."

"Is it to me? No, I'm certainly an adventurer, but I have little or no experience with dungeons..."

"I know what Makichi is capable of. I don't know if you want to hide it, but at least I showed you one scale when I destroyed the army of demons that attacked Terveil. And what changed to certainty was that it was not when the [Demon Church] attacked. What would have happened if you hadn't..."

Uh... I haven't been thinking about hiding my strengths lately. No, you were willing to hide it in the first place? It's me.

... When you think back to your past self, you try to hide your strengths as much as you say. You're an asshole, I get it.

Well, I don't really need to hide it now either.

"Anyway, by asking Seiichi, such a powerful man, I want you to gather information early. I can't leave school because of that incident..."

"I see... I see why. I'll be there, if you don't mind."

"Oh! That would help if you could say that. Oh, Makichi, if you have less experience with dungeons, you should take Altria with you. I'll leave it to you who else I can take."

"Okay. We'll leave as soon as we're ready."

"Excuse me, please."

... It's been a really long time, dungeons.

Oh, but... [Underworld] is going to be a kind of dungeon, too?

Whatever it is, it's been a long time since I've been an adventurer. It's called a dungeon. I need to get in the mood.

Whatever happened to Al at Black Dragon God's place, and naturally it's forbidden to be caught off guard.

The members I'm going with... well, that's it. Al, of course, let's take Salia, Lune, and Oliga. The Agnos will be fine if you ask Mr. Beatrice.

As I walked down the hallway thinking about it, suddenly my eyes lit up.

"To?"

Too suddenly he was exposed to a dumb look, the light eventually subsided and there appeared a chest that should have traveled with his fathers.

"To? what? Hey, why the crate...?

"... I found it. Me, you, I'll take you."

"Yes?"

Ignoring me in unexplained circumstances, the crate grabbed my arm.

"Well, then, I'll go"

"Uh, yeah, where are you going--"

"Storage"

"WHAT WHAT WHAT!? hey...... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!?"

I thought the chest accidentally opened, and the chest put me in it.

I was left in a pitch-black space, completely incomprehensible.

◆ ◇ ◆

"I brought you"

"So what's the situation!? Description Pleas!

I don't know how much time has passed, but also when I suddenly wondered if the light had plunged into the pitch-black space, I was grabbed by the chest and removed from it.... the inside of the chest is such a space.

I was accidentally called out when I was thinking about that somewhere in a reality escape mood.

"I'm glad you're feeling better, Makichi"

"Heh? Mr. Lanze!? So this is..."

"Oh, it's Terveil in the Kingdom of Wimbledon"

I don't know, it seems I've been forced into Terveil.

Looking around again, I saw not only Mr. Zeanos and Mr. Lucius, but also Mr. Florio and Mr. Luis.

What, are you alle? I can even see some familiar gorilla...... out of my mind?

"Uh... can you explain the situation to me because I haven't been able to swallow it?

Did I do something wrong?

The air is kind of bitter, so I accidentally think about that.

Then Mr. Lanze opened his mouth with a harsh look.

"Makichi, I need a favor from you."

"Oh, to me?

"Oh."

I kind of feel like I'm getting every favor I do in one day...

Well, Mr. Berna and Mr. Lanze are taking care of each other, so I'd like to help if I can.

With that in mind, Mr. Lanze's request was more responsible than expected.

"- The daughter of the Demon King was cursed by the 'Curse'. I want you to do something about it."

"Daughter of the Demon King!? And a curse..."

When I opened my eyes to the exact words, Mr. Lucius explained to me as he scattered his killing spirit from all over his body, even though he looked gloomy.

"The trash rolling there got their hands on my precious people. It's called a" curse. "

"Garbage?"

I followed Mr. Lucius' gaze and looked in that direction and three bloody men were rolling. Yeah... what, it's like this murder scene. Hey, he's alive, isn't he?

"It's the messengers of the [Demon Church] who are rolling there"

"Heh!?"

I'm surprised it's the name of the same organization as the main perpetrator of the recent incident.

"They used the" curse "to attack the Demon King's daughter. Besides, the curse is the same type I used to get, and there's no one in the world who can break the curse in the first place. But you're breaking my curse once. I want you to use that power to help the demon king's daughter."

Honestly, the story is too rapid to follow.

I don't know why that situation happened, or why the [Demon Order] has attacked me... much I don't know anyway, but I guess I'll be ahead of you with the Demon King's daughter.

"Wow, I get it. I don't know what will happen, but I'll try."

I didn't know you were going to use inverted magic 'get better' again......!

No, you don't have to put your magic name in your mouth this time. Way to go!

When I said that, Mr. Lanze and I looked a little relieved and moved me into a certain room.

"I'm sleeping here. Don't worry, it's the ministers of the Demon King's daughter who's around."

"Yes."

Once inside the room, the whole room was dominated by a more bitter atmosphere than the place just now where several demonic figures looked anxious, as Mr. Lanze put it, or nestled in a sprinkling of killing like Mr. Lucius.

Nor did he seem to care about the air like that, and Mr. Lanze told everyone on the spot to hear him.

"Hey, you guys. I've brought someone who can break the curse."

!!

"Whoa!?"

My gaze turned to this one at the same time, so I accidentally spoke out. Oh, you don't have to stare so much...

Then an awesome beauty who was kind of exposed asked Mr. Lanze.

"... the man? Are you kidding me?"

"I know how it feels to be a joke, but it's true"

"... I hate to admit it, but it's a 'curse'? I've never heard of the curse being broken before."

When the beauty says so, an awesome handsome grey haired man sitting all over me with a killing sprinkle turns a sharp gaze at me.

"Making jokes in front of us right now... how dead are you?

As I did when I helped Mr. Lanze before, 'Curse' is something that really can't be helped in this world.

Well, that's fine...

"I am a friend of Mr. Lanze, the king of this country. I can't tell you to believe me all of a sudden, but can you still trust me a little bit with this?

"You can't do that, can you? What a suspicious suspicious man with a hood hidden in his face."

Absolutely right!

I just forgot to take it off, I immediately took off my hood.

Then the demons opened their eyes. Do you look so surprised?

"Is this okay?

"Huh? Ah... oh... no, I told you to show me your face..."

What is it?!? That reaction!

But I know you don't want to keep suspicious guys close to your own serving husband... and I don't think we should ignore them anymore and use magic?

Mr. Lucius came from behind me as I was going to a slightly rampant thought circuit.

"Don't worry about him. I can assure you."

Right! Mr. Lucius would be the first demon king, and he might listen to what his opponent has to say!

"Huh!? Oh, the... I've always wondered... in which way?

"Whoa, I forgot to introduce myself."

"You can't!

If you hadn't introduced yourself, you'd be as suspicious as I am!

"Hey, I'm sorry. My name is Lucius Alsare. I founded the Demon Nation... the so-called First Demon King."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?"

Stunning voices echoed all over the room. That's right. I was surprised, too.

"Weren't you wrong to hear the words then..."

"So, but... even if they call me the First Demon King..."

But the demons will suddenly have trouble telling us that they are the first demon kings, too.

In fact, I don't feel like we all know how to react.

"Hmm... I don't have the time to ask questions here... yes!

Mr. Lucius, who was doing a little thinking trick, opened his mouth like he had suddenly come up with something.

"You guys would've been pretty dangerous if I hadn't come, right? I mean, I'm what you call a benefactor of life, and I'm telling you that I'm going to trust you.... you trust me, don't you?

Mr. Lucius, that's too rampant!

The face of the Demon Nation had to shake its neck vertically to the intimidation released by Mr. Lucius, though slightly.

In a way, Demon King... or after the demonic act, Mr. Lucius said to me with a good smile.

"Come on, get it done!

"... Yes"

I shook my head vertically, too.
