Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 13: The Old Man I Meet at Night

Night work was over, and Hildegart gathered the information.

"... so you two still surround her?

"Ha, ha. Those who were defeated by Coct's masters and brothers..."

……

I'm honestly not happy that I saved you the trouble.

Your breath is about to leak to the point where you get into trouble on your own.

"Ah, well... Kokto is strong, so don't worry too much..."

"Madame is not as sweet as you think."

If it was true, I was going to take care of the surroundings before eliminating Madame.

But even if I can't make it tonight, I have the idea of collectively assassinating him.

It seemed dangerous to let Coct go or let Madame swim.

"... and it turns out that Madame's power is two tiny old men with strange canes and a woman in her 40s."

"Really... hey, check out Coct."

……

Hildegart, who had a bad feeling, asked Kaede and Tamaki, who were sitting in front of him, but they couldn't face each other.

"... check it out quickly. He's in the room because he's forbidden to go out."

"If you were Kokto... just now,“ I'm going to go and hunt mushrooms! ", I thought I was feeling really well..."

"I carried a big basket and ran away full of motivation....."

……

There was a wrinkle between Hildegart's eyebrows that Tamaki and Kaede had never seen before.

♢♢♢

I went back early from mushroom hunting because I had a cook training, and I polished the dishes at Hanazuki Pavilion before returning to my room in the morning.

……

……

When I went back to the front of the room I was given, I noticed the footsteps. The door of the room opened and Hildegart came out.

"... what are you doing in my room?"

"I was waiting for you to come back now or now. I don't ask where he went. Just be prepared."

"What should I be prepared for?"

"Punishment for a bad kid.... I was waiting for you, but I couldn't go kill her again."

Looks like we stopped the murder. The famous detective is also a bluish act.

"Besides, I had to wait here without a nap. What are you going to do?"

……

I peeked inside with a glimpse.

"... my futon is a mess."

He looks at the futon in the room and says.

"You slept here, didn't you? You were so sleepy."

……

I don't even touch the futon because I don't sleep.

If you look closely, it looks like a sleeping roll. It's not like my clothes are broken, it's just a quick fix.

"... let's still hear the excuse. I'll take a closer look at it now. Tell me the truth."

"I don't have a catchball for conversation with you. They won't catch the ball I threw."

After all, she said she would take good care of it, and eventually she developed a rash.

I already have a fan.

Well, I decided to put down the cage I was carrying and explain.

"Look, I've got mushrooms for my new dish. It looks delicious. I'm really looking forward to tonight's prototype...."

"... why do you need agricultural tools to pick mushrooms?"

Hildegart pointing at the cage and asking.

"I told you yesterday. When I interrogated the assailant, he said he was a little rough. That's why I fixed it. It's very difficult for an old man or child to fall. Then I went mushroom hunting."

I picked a lot because the lizards helped me.

"... have you met anyone?

"Hmm? The monsters stopped by."

The monsters around me ate me. I was happy to be able to move my body and reduce food costs.

I see.

"Ah, but when I was fixing the road, I met this weird old man."

"... tell me."

Hildegart's eyes narrowed as if they were stiff.

♢♢♢

It was the night I was working to bury the ground I broke into the bowman's hand.

"Yoyo, yoyo...."

The plain work of pouring sand into the cracks little by little.

The slash was over soon, but the problem was with the kick.

"I have to do this tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...."

One person murmurs when he sees the rift that was cracked deep.

I asked Kageha to take a walk in the mist, so we should meet soon.

When the sun rises, the chef comes, so I want to polish the dishes in the middle of the night, and I need to take the mushrooms by then.

"We have to hurry... huh?

"... what (what are you doing here)...?"

A small grandfather came with a strange wand in one hand.

Even though it's night, you're surprised to see me play dirty.

No, I'd be surprised.

My grandfather was wandering around with his stick at night.

Besides, it's a really weird way to talk...

"... you're a strange person..."

"... weird (weird kid)..."

"Hmm?

Subtle silence.

"... here, the ground is cracked, right? That's why I'm burying it, because it's dangerous if someone like my grandfather gets hurt. Why don't you go home soon?

"... daze (watch your mouth)..."

With eyes that looked down at me like a kid, I laid my staff down.

It's like a wise man who breaks the ocean.

Then... the surrounding soil becomes mud and waves begin to gather.

Heh, that's amazing.

"... surprised...?"

"I'm surprised.... I'm not as surprised as Grandpa."

"... anger (I told you, kid)...!!

My grandfather's magic rose explosively, and the mud filled a crack in the ground... with tremendous momentum.

Looks like you can help me. Let's stir it up.

"... wow!? S, wow... I can't keep my mouth shut!

"... look (fu, look at me)..."

Mud is pouring in.

……

……

This is poured into the crack.

……

……

Anyway, it's falling into an avalanche.

……

"... deep...!?

The old man shouted in a ditch that would never be filled.

The neighbors will notice, so please stop.

"Ah, thank you, that's enough. I'll do the rest."

"... excitement...!!

After all, the mysterious old man showed the mysterious pride and completely fixed the broken ground, and walked away fluffily, whether the magic was exhausted or tired.

♢♢♢

……

"I was proud to have been chosen for my ability to handle a wand made from a big spider that manipulates mud that I used to have a long time ago. I don't know what I was chosen for. I want you to listen to the pride of your past."

Pepper, pepper, pepper...

"He said he was looking for people, but I'm sure he forgot his house. I may have been an amazing person in the past, but I didn't know what I was talking about because I was just bragging about the crime. It's okay, don't worry. I told them I saw these people, and I told them where the guard's waiting area was."

Pepper, pepper, pepper...

For some reason, it has been scattered and scattered.

It's a storm of fan-friendly touch reciprocating binders.

Cheeky and pulpy.

"Hmm, that's enough...... nh"

Hildegart, who is in an oblique mood, puts a futon on his chin.

"... what a futon. Are you trying to tell me it's dry?

"Go to bed now. You haven't slept properly yesterday or before. It's only natural."

"I can't sleep because I still have work to do. You can still sleep. [M] Bye."

……

My collar, with my heel turned back, can be lifted lightly.

"... you often carry it this way. I'm not a cat."

"Even cats sleep at night. You keep your eyes open and don't cause any problems. Can't you be a little bit too generous?... if you don't want Run to make fun of you, go to bed."

Oneechan will take you to the futon.

I can't help it. I'll pretend to be asleep and then head to the kitchen.

"Holy shit....."

It's been a long time since I've dived into a futon.

……

……

"............ do you sleep too!?

Sleep next to Hildegart.

"I said no, but I went out. If you don't keep an eye out, you're not going to sleep. ……

"It's like sleepwalking....."

No, but Hildegart is right to chew off his shortcomings.

Apparently it worried me. Sleep, go out at night.

... okay, let's pretend you slept honestly and make you feel safe. You can use this time to play Magic Tree.

……

Spend time quietly with your eyes closed.

... my cheeks are kind of itchy, so it's light.

"... huh, huh?

……

Turning left, Hildegart looked at me.

I saw too many cancers twice at high speed.

"What...?

Go to sleep.

"I'm going to bed... I'm going to bed, so don't look at such a hole. Your tight gaze makes me itchy."

I can't trust you until you let go of your consciousness.

"You're starting to mistrust Coct...."

Even if I keep telling you, Hildegart won't listen to me, so I meditate without worrying about it.

……

Hildegart, who spent a lot of time watching me, started sleeping with him out of sight.

Phew, Jesus. I seem to have worried too much...

At that time...

"--Byzantz!?

"─!?

Rise from the gabber and futon with Hildegart.

Besides, I heard a strange voice.

"Hmm, what a tremor... It seems to have happened a long way away, but I was struck by surprise."

……

Hildegart rubs his eyes and arms and looks sharply towards the tremor that has just occurred.

The cuteness hasn't come out because of the worm, so it's not really Serious.

But....

"Are there any monsters in this city...?

………

……

It happened at Cuilantei.

Madam in the bedroom devoured some magic equipment at the same time...

"... you've changed a lot... I'm sorry, you've grown up."

Amanda, who stepped into the bedroom, saw a madam that could no longer fit into the bed.

"I don't remember giving you permission to enter?

"Something you don't need. I'm not one of your men."

"I see. But... the sword is mine."

From the immobile, enlarged body to beyond the archbishop, the magic seeps.

"I see... He prefers me, doesn't he?

"It doesn't matter if you like it or not. People are tied up easily. I can make it into something. Money, power....."

"Oh, but you didn't get whatever you wanted most?

……

Amanda smiles as she sees what Madam really wants.

"Well, that's fine. I was thinking about going to see her tonight."

"... Hildegart is already in this city?

"Yeah, definitely."

Sydge got the food. It spilled along the way, but that was proof of Hildegart's presence.

Because I don't think people at Hanazuki Pavilion who admire Hildegart cook as much as Sidge, even if they threaten to go there by themselves.

"It's about time we finished. You can help me, right? And disappear quickly."

"Of course, I'll help you make your wish come true. This is Benedict's order.... let me ask you a question first."

Oh, what is it?

Show positive attitude to gentle Amanda's questions just by appearing.

"None of the Archbishops who were with me came back. Do you know anything about it?

"Come on?... maybe I ate some asparagus. Hoho, hohoho, hohoho!"

"People don't get magic when they eat creatures. You've become unnaturally strong now, but you're just a person. Nothing special, nothing special. It's a funny joke, but it's impossible."

……

The disturbing smile of the lying madam deepened, and Amanda smiled thinly.

"... that magic is dangerous. I think you should keep it tied up."

Amanda's fine lines open and her magic appears thin.

"... what happened to the relationship?"

"Your wish comes true.“ The Crusade of Hildegart. "There is no reason why you should be sane."

"... let's be clear. You like Sydges, don't you?

To that madam's plain question,

"... fufufu"

Sidge returned with a glorious smile that was already hers.

"I like that idea. All you have to do is take what you want. It's an absolute rule from ancient times.... if you can take it away from me."

"Now, sweeten your words....."

Amanda's back unleashed her magical wings.
