Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 14: Sword Banquet

An unusual sight that is difficult to pen and tongue appears in front of Erica and others heading to the special viewing room on Lake Nidai.

"Wow, wow..."

"... this is..."

Christoph's vibrant facial expression, which doesn't resemble aging, is sharply distorted.

The damage was far greater than Celestia would have exaggerated.

The distant forest is divided into straight lines. This is good.

No, it was never good, but it was much more spectacular than that.

However, the cliffs surrounding the lake were largely shattered and shredded inside, filled with fine cracks.

What the hell is going on all night... no, this terrain is going to happen in an instant. I can't even imagine.

I wonder if this is what happens when the tallest dragon in the legend breaks out.

Or if God's judgment were to come from heaven, would this be the case?

No, I can't imagine anything.

I don't even know what to expect.

"... I think it's better to return."

"I agree. I lost my temper just by looking at it... Dizziness is also terrible. My legs also tremble. But... nnh... you can't cover it with me by order of Master Celestia. And look at that."

Richie points out to Christopher, who answers the cold sweat, that despite this catastrophe, there are many people watching Nidai.

It was superior to yesterday.

Dangerous areas that may have fallen rocks have already been sealed off, and narrow audience seating is overflowing with crowds.

Plus a cheerful concert, a little food walk, and a weird-looking performer.

It was already a cluttered festival.

"We are the princess. It has already been promoted as a ride-on with the Nidai with the help of Celestia's recommendation. At this heyday... oh my god... I'm a smart guy, too. There's not a single alternative to suffering."

As for Celestia's direct recommendation, the sense of expectation was so much higher than when Sod and others tried.

"But I don't think that's going to last until the end of the banquet...."

…………

She seemed to be seriously considering even the development after Nidai's defeat, but that was far from being understood by everyone but her. It's very, very far away.

Nidai is too strong.

"... Eh!? What!?"

"Erica, is there anything that bothers you?

Erica was suddenly surprised to find something, and Christoph quickly approached and asked.

………

……

"... I wonder why salt diapers are so delicious... I knew it was superb. The saltiness is amazing... Hey, uncle."

A glass that celebrates the salt diaper for the first time in two weeks, with the diaper of a pre-war lunch.

I ate a bite and checked the quality of the salt diapers again.

The yard used for the banquet was quickly rebuilt, and at its end you can sit on the wooden fence and enjoy a breathtaking breakfast.

"... ah, you might die, are you crazy...? And I'm still 42. It's not my uncle."

"Uncle without a doubt."

The villagers who were working on the shouted boat murmured in a stunned manner.

Other ships also need repairs without leakage and are unlikely to be ready for immediate use.

The lord instructed me to carry the glass by small boat to Nidai, so I was sweating at adjusting the boat with an unstable scaffold.

"What we need to do is already done. My colleagues were able to get it in time, and all we have to do is challenge it. Rest assured. Today, I am so motivated, and my sword is still alive....."

…………

Orange hair colour is reflected on the side of the glass, which is quietly refreshing.

Stay close and Erica observes the glass.

"... a glass?

"Your Highness, whether I am your brother or not, it is before the final battle. I want to calm down the mind and develop the concept of combat in my brain."

"Oh, sorry... I just broke up and arrived so early, and I ate rice balls... You look like a brother, and you might have been careless...."

Erica leaned over to a serious glass, feeling sorry for herself.

"Well... as I told you before, if you're really in danger, run away. Because life is the best thing."

"Thank you for your concern. I remember the liver."

A glass that stood up with a nappy, bowed respectfully and accepted.

"Yeah, I'll go then."

"Yes"

"... but let me just check? What happens at dinner this evening?

Turning her back, Erica asked as she tried to go home with Christoph and the others.

"I don't know? What is it? I'm looking forward to it."

"Glass!!... no, why are you in this town!?

Erica flipped and her eyes twitched. I was certain it was the earliest glass.

"... well, I don't mind hiding it, but... how did you know?

"What kind of glass can you do with a princess's question?” It's impossible to leave the princess's doubts until dinner!? My brother taught me everything from cooking ingredients!

The glass stood up silently to Erica, who explained why it was so hard to prove that she couldn't hide her surprise.

"... Erica, how are you? Today I have a banquet..."

"You lowlife!!

"Yes, the blade of sudden words. And a lowlife...? Am I the loving one? You can't just throw it away. I'll give you an hour of sermons."

"I flew away as soon as the wind blew! Leave me alone, I'm still hurt. You're a heartless man!

"Please don't call me pollen."

Accumulated anger erupted from Erica one after another.

However, the glass opens again and pushes up the glasses with your fingers.

Erica's cheeks swell up so that she can't see the reflection.

"Mhh...! The glass is coming off somewhere!!

"Erica, there are no good people who can come off their joints soon! Aim for a princess who works hard for others!

Christoph and Lilia are stunned by the unique conversation that takes place as they please.

"If you keep saying such a rare thing, for some reason you're just like me! Please stop!

"... aren't you going to stop or something?"

Yes?

"It's overflowing from the inside. It's a natural expression."

"I can't help it anymore....."

A glass that puts a hand on your forehead and suffers from a headache with an annoying artist in front of you.

However, he held a red and brown dagger standing beside him, and put the dagger in a glossy black sheath into the holder on his waist.

"Wow, cool. Hey, Glass, I want that big sword."

"... the fact that I have it at this time means I'm going to use it now. It means it's important enough to be involved in life and death. I wouldn't have given it to you. The princess is a bad habit.“ Ah, I want that. "Give it to me."

Lilia approached the glass, distancing herself from the nearby Erica and complaining.

"... are you really going to fight Nidai?

Lilia frowned when she said she doubted her sanity about yesterday's nidai appearance that was vividly in her mind.

"Eh, eh, well... it's going to be a pretty tough fight, but I wonder if there's a chance of winning."

…………

A cool, eye-catching Lilia invites her to listen with a small hand.

"What is it...?

While holding Erica away with a dagger, she listens to Lilia as she stretches out her tiny body with her eyes full.

"There's only one way oniisan can be saved... you want to hear it?

"... hmm, that's interesting. Can I ask you something?

"If you tell me what the First Princess did, I'll protect you."

…………

"Then report it to the Black Knight, and then - she's done."

Cool Lilia suggesting some sort of end in a bird-like study.

Lilia's cold voice, which seemed to be a violent and abusive gap, sweats through the glass's cheeks.

"The Black Knight has entrusted this mission to find the face behind the princess. But it's a good deal, right? Your brother only looked in trouble, but oniisan was dying. Only the Black Knight can help. What do you think?"

…………

With her face off, Lilia looks up at the glass with her little chest up.

"Ah, Master Celeste is a splendid man.

"Eh... yeah"

I was surprised at what Glass said, but for a moment I looked sad.

From the look on Lillian's face, I realize that there is an intention to save a glass that cannot resist power.

Even Christopher, who had no way of knowing the contents of the secret story, knew that.

Glass that feels affectionate and smiles tries to reassure you as much as possible.

"And the Black Knight may have been sent out with the intention of giving Lilia a vacation. I don't know. Take your time at this famous hot spring without having to think about the difficult things from time to time."

"I know this Lilia best when it comes to the Black Knight. Don't be ridiculous."

Lilia, who was told she had a misconception, said that she was in a bad mood like a threatening kitten.

"I am your husband's maid. That's why I know everything about your husband."

Is that how you use "because”?

"I'm not prepared for those who follow power like oniisan. I can be a demon if your husband wants."

"What do you want? But maybe you should check with your husband once. By the way, let's not be demons. Shall we? Right?"

Lilia, who is displeased with her cute little face, is also in trouble with a servant's glass that takes Erica to hand.

"... don't lick me because I'm a maid. If Master orders, I'll kill hundreds of people by myself."

"Me, was the maid such a militant profession...?

Christoph walks towards a glass that looks like Erica is about to peel off Lilia and the Dagger, which are stuck when she is treated like a child.

"I hear you call yourself Lord Glass."

"Yes, my name is Glass Crobutch.... who are you?

"With Christoph. Do whatever you want."

Well then, Mr. Christoph. What do you want from me?

Christoph starts the conversation, watching Richie and the private soldiers who are left on the cliff, careful not to be completely distracted from Nidai's appearance.

"I agree with Erica's attitude, but I agree with the Sword Temple. Fighting Nidai is too dangerous."

"... I know a hundred of them."

"No, I don't understand. It's far more reckless to challenge the Nidai with a sword than you think."

Nidai's swordsmanship was the source of various swordsmanship that thrived near the Wright Kingdom.

The swordsmanship that we have now leads us all to the swordsmanipulation of Nidai.

For this reason,

"He can't reach our sword. Sod and the others didn't fight each other. There are still words from Erica, me, the Sword Temple, and Richie. We can cancel or postpone."

"That's troublesome. I fight him by my own will."

A word that gently holds down Christoph's hand of salvation.

"Nidai threw away his powerful armor and lost his left hand magic and was there. In other words, he's that strong with his power shredded."

He gently stopped Erica from playing with Lilia, and turned the Dagger behind his head and held it on his shoulders.

"But I'm not that interested in him during the heyday."

Slowly, you pull out a long silver sword with a wide dagger.

"Because there is no special armor, no special magic, so I can compete with him with pure skill."

A dazzling blade polished like a mirror that gradually appears.

Whether it is the original shine of the Dagger, or whether a man makes it, Christopher and his friends who see the light of the blade in close proximity are irresponsibly depressed.

"I can't stand it. I hate losing, but I can't allow it to be inferior to my moves."

He looks calm as usual, but the dagger that was thrown out in contrast releases a sword.

"So will he. He threw away his armor, his magic, and even his ego. The only thing he left before he got there was that sword trick."

Looking at the blade, he talks about the inside of his hot chest.

"Don't you feel like they're asking you to take down what you can do? Then I'll do it. I can't give it to anyone."

Swing the dagger to remove the heat from the cave, and sharply push the knife down from a high position.

It's the most fluent swordsmanship Christoph has ever seen.

It was sharpened to the extent that it was different from, or equal to, or greater than, the magnificent stuff of that nidai.

"I've brought a sword better than a sword, and I've got a plan. Please leave it to me."

"... this is an innocence. I'm sorry."

In this situation, in front of that sword monster, I have the same smile as usual...

Confidence, or chronicity... No, something completely different.

I have no doubt about myself at all. There is no sway.

But it looks different from arrogance.

I wonder why this benevolence is so unknown.

Christoph admired it.

As a man, as a swordsman, I want to be like this.

It is this man who is a strong man.

It is a powerful person that will come true as it is, as it wishes.

It's creepy, but if I were a woman, I'd definitely be up there. The appearance is not so good. But it attracts nature.

"Hey, Glass."

"I know. Don't worry, if you're going to get hurt with one of the wounds, we'll retreat immediately."

"No, I want that big sword after all. Of course I won't tell you for free. I'll bring you some change."

"You want me to give this away with a little pocket money....?

A glass loved by Erica. Christoph has a very different impression.

"Oniisan, this swordsmanship... I don't know... was it a disciple of a cool man with black hair or something...?

"That's cool...."

"What are you shining on, this guy...? Lilia's not talking about the glass, is she?

A servant who plays with girls.

If you still want to stop, you want to watch more than that.

Where Nidai and this man bump into each other.

And the banquet starts...

Richie welcomes Erica and the others to the special audience.

"... as I expected, you thought you'd stop him, but was he so stubborn that you couldn't handle him?

Yeah, I think so.

"For that, your expressions are softer than before you went out...."

…………

While listening to Richie's strange remarks, Christoph looks down at a boat heading for Nidai.

A man in a misplaced butler's uniform stood on a boat that one of the villagers was afraid of rowing.

"This world is fun. Easily exceeds my expectations. There are some unexpected encounters. This unknown continuum was born. Hey, uncle."

"I'm not your uncle..."

He's a finished uncle.

Remove the Dagger and gently place the sheath on the ship.

A glass with a dagger stepped into the ancient castle that sank in the lake.

"I want to save you. I'm not lying."

At the same time, the blue eyes of Nidai are lit with light.

"But I want to be clear."

The legend of unity with one servant walks in step by step.

Walk quietly through a mirror-like water surface that reflects the sky.

The cheering audience also became more noisy as the distance between the two narrowed.

Many of them sought the tragedy of the Nidai.

Anyone who denies in the table seeks something beyond comprehension or brutal thrills somewhere.

That's why we're coming to the border.

Fortunately this year, the bloodthirsty were frenzied to see it.

And in a few seconds you'll be able to see it.

It is a distance of more than ten meters from which the swords of each other are not yet supposed to reach.

Spectators who still leave room for anger, considering their final approach.

But at last, at a stage of heightened excitement, it's betrayed.

--The two vanished and a loud noise echoed in the middle.

――――

…………

Daggers and single-bladed swords intersect by swordsmen lined up in high places.

"Nh......"

…………

The noise was scratched out in a breath.

The skin of the birds covers the whole body and paralyzes at the violent opening.

Nidai's expectations of slaughtering servants with his remarkable sword technique were quickly broken.

"I've kept you waiting, let's settle this. I have feelings for you and me. Let's do it this time."
