Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

After that, we reported the Hydra assassination to the guild that posted the request, and soon we could not get back to Keltz...

The high achievement rewards prevented the Alliance from preparing the money on the spot.

Anyway, when we didn't have time, we hurried to threaten him in the middle of the day, and managed to get a bag full of gold the next day.

He arranged a carriage with his feet and left the city at the foot of the underground mountains that day.

"Phew... soon. But I'm not out of my mind yet."

Looking back from the podium while holding the rope, Amu had a tight expression.

"All right, you guys. I'll protect that money no matter what."

Effa and Mabel nodded forcefully at Amu's words.

"Of course, Amu!"

Leave it to me.

Together, they hold a big bag of gold coins like my child.

These three have been like this ever since they received their reward.

Apparently, he received so much money that he had never seen before that he went crazy.

Rurum stares at the three with a subtle expression.

"Well, if you do that, it's hard to accept..."

"I'm fine... but I'm fine."

"Well, if these kids are going to help somebody, I'm glad, too."

"Farewell to the adventurers is an accessory....."

……

When I see Rurum becoming more and more like a sick man, I blow up small and turn my face forward.

The sight already reflected the walls of Keltz illuminated by the West.

If we get here, we won't have to worry about bandits anymore.

The deadline for Elman to make a promise is today.

It was close, but I managed to make it in time.

Well done, Seika-san.

Yuki said with a little face out of her hair.

"Yuki thought it would be really useless to let these people hunt monsters and earn enough money to eat for a lifetime in a month... you've done well.That's Seika-sama! "

I answered Yuki in a flat manner. [M]

"No, it's not done."

Huh?

"It's not enough to pay for a slave."

"Hmm... what?"

"That's why the money."

"... eh!?"

Yuki suddenly shouted out loudly and suddenly suppressed her voice.

"Well, what does that mean!?I should have told them that if I defeated monsters like the Yagi serpent, it would cost me a slave.... "

Oh, that one.

I laugh lightly. [M]

"I lied to everybody from the beginning.I told her about 20% of the amount Elman gave me. "

"Yeah, yeah? Why did you do that to me...."

"You're right, I can't make enough money in a month to eat for the rest of my life.To tell the truth, I'm sure those two were tough.It's to prevent it and to buy it back peacefully. "

But...

Yuki says confused.

"If you don't have enough money, you can't buy it back in the first place!What are you going to do now? "

"I'll sneak out the missing part."

"Such a huge sum of money... ah"

Yuki seemed to have noticed.

I say with a smile. [M]

"Yes, you have the bill Fiona gave you."

Using that will probably be enough.

I'll keep going.

"It's a good place to use it.My forehead, I can't prepare it easily, so it's not too expensive. "

"I see, but... umm, I think it would be a pity to use that for Yuki..."

"If you say that, you'll end up spending the rest of your life without it."

"By way of example, are you talking about your experience?"

Ah.

There were many precious curses and treasures left untouched in the previous life's mansion.

I would have died and burned them all down.

Yuki says.

"I thought... if I could use that bill, I could cover the full amount, right?I wonder what it meant to defeat a monster on purpose... "

"I don't have enough stepsisters to give you the full amount.It's not good to make a lot of loans.Besides... that's good. "

That's how I look back at the cargo bay.

Where are you going with the energy you've been talking about?The party members sitting on the cargo bay were rowing their boats, including Rurum and Nozzlo.

I'm sure you're tired.

I laughed lightly and said to Yuki.

"I had a good time."

****

Coming through the castle gate, it was almost sunset.

It's almost time for the shop to start closing.

While I'm a little nervous in the unfamiliar city, I drive a carriage as fast as I can. [M]It won't be a problem after about a day, but I want to talk through it as soon as possible today.

"Hey, what are you going to do after buying back your people?"

Amu asks Rurum in a shaking carriage.

"They're going to come back to us once."

Rurum makes a smile and answers.

"That's right, we can't travel with fifteen people.I haven't been home for a long time... so maybe it's just right. "

"Yes, well... I guess I'll say goodbye here."

Amu said in a lonely voice.

Lulum laughs like she can't help it.

"Yeah, but that's normal.Because we are... different from the race. "

……

"Is farewell a part of adventurers?"

"Uh-huh...."

Amu was clearly crying.

Effa and Mabel rub their noses out like they were caught.

"... it will take some time to get out"

Of course, the nozzle opened its mouth.

"Some of my compatriots will have to heal their hunger and wounds.I'm not leaving right away... in the meantime, I can go back to the dungeon. "

……

"Nozzle....."

The God-Demon fighter continues to stagger.

"If you're going home, you can turn some of the money you brought in case you need it.It should be enough to stay for a while.If that's enough... you can do it. "

Fufu, yeah.

Rurum smiles.

"Until we say goodbye... why don't we continue our adventure at this party a little longer?"

"Bye, then...."

Amu rubbed his eyes.

"Promise me. And... don't forget about us.That's what adventurers are like.... "

"Yes, I understand."

Rurum was holding Amu's hand for a while... but after a while, he came next to the podium where I sat.

When I look at it silently, I say it's dull. [M]

"Nice and honest kids.I know you're cute. "

"I don't mean to be cute.It's almost the same age. "

"Speaking of which, that's what you said. It's a little hard to believe."

Lulum giggles.

I'm hesitating to ask.

"... what are you going to do to find the Devil King?"

"I'll keep going. I'll just go home once."

Rurum says with a calm expression.

"But that's why I'm a little tired... if it's only for a short while, I can't take a break."

"... hello, but..."

Rurum looks at me carefully. [M]

"If the time has come to give up... find something else.There are things in the world that can't be helped. "

Crossing the sea and desert and learning ancient wisdom in the West - it didn't seem like bringing my wife back to life after all.

There are things that can't be helped by any existence.

Rurum repeats my words with a serious expression. [M]

"Instead, things...."

"Anything, academic, artistic... raising a disciple."

"... what did you give up?"

I answer with my eyes open to the city of Keltz.

"I haven't given up anything yet."

Not yet in my life.

"... yes, I'll just use it as a reference."

Rurum had a refreshing expression somewhere.

She must have thought about the end of her journey many times.

Thank you, Seika.

"If you'd like to thank me, please tell me when you say goodbye.Every time I'm told to help you in a dungeon, I don't know what to do. "

"Oh, were you going to hang out with me?I don't need a first-class certificate anymore. "

"I'm worried they're going to the dungeon alone."

I knew you were cute.

Rurum giggles.

****

By the time we got to Keltz's shopping district, the sun was starting to turn red.

I hope it's still open...

When a familiar sign came into his eyes, Rurum pointed forward and said.

"Oh, there it is... but..."

Your buttocks are getting smaller and smaller.

Underneath the sign displayed by the Elman Neg Chamber of Commerce, there was certainly a figure I saw.

A skinny man with a mustache, Elman the representative.

Neg, deputy deputy representative, a disgusting young cat.

But that's not all.

The city's guards, dressed in similar clothes and armed with weapons, are also crowded with dozens.

As the carriage slowed down and approached, the guards noticed immediately scattered around us.

Even though I have a bad feeling, I jump off the podium. [M]

From the cargo bay, nozzles had already appeared, pointing a sharp gaze at humans.From behind, the amulets follow, and finally Lulum descends from the side of the podium.

Everyone looked uniquely anxious.

I tell Elman that I'm laughing even louder. [M]

"Hi, Elman. It's your second visit to the store, and it's been a very generous reception.I don't like this kind of thing very much. "

I've been expecting you, Seika.

Elman continued stroking his beard.

"No, thank you for being safe.I'm relieved, too.I am a valued customer of our Chamber of Commerce, even though I have visited without promise in a filthy adventurous manner.If anything happens..... "

"As you can see, nothing happened.What worries you about your first class adventurer slaughtering dragons?Elman, if you know what I mean, let's get everybody out of here. "

"No, no... no, that's not going to happen."

He no longer tries to hide his plan, Elman says.

"I'm really relieved that I'm wacko.I was a little worried when I heard rumors in the city that you had started accepting Alliance requests one after the other... well, it was up to me to convince myself that I didn't have enough of you.But, yes, the other rumor is... very unlikely. "

"What...?"

"Anything..."

Rurum and Nozzlo were breathing.

Elman continues with a great gesture.

"If that's true... oh, what a terrible thing!This is a serious betrayal of human society that endangers not only Keltz, but all the people living in the Empire!Things are no longer in the hands of a single merchant...I will explain such a story to the lord kindly and politely with a little care, and it is up to me to take the gesture.Now, Seika... can you give me the identity of the two dangerous demons first? "

"--- No need, let's go ourselves."

It was Nozzo who made that voice.

Release a jacket that obstructs movement.His eyes were sharply directed towards Elman.

"But afterwards, let me do it myself... the soldiers should at least have brought in an incredible number of them."

"Hmm...."

"Don't hold back."

Nozzle kicked the ground.

It must have been some kind of martial arts.The distance that was supposed to be three or more lengths stuck in one leg, and the merchant entered the fist space.

The magic knife is released.

Enhanced by the immense magic of the Devil, his physical abilities are as thin as the neck of a slaver and can even be broken in an instant.

That was supposed to happen.

"Nh...!?"

The knife stopped at Elman's neck.

A sharp shadow from the ground was stitching the nozzle's arm.

The shadow penetrates the right foot, which has shifted its center of gravity in order to quickly move to kicking.In addition, the black shadow tip penetrates your left arm, shoulder, chest, and nozzle body.

"Ha...!"

The fighter of the devil spit blood.

Elman murmured next to him as he stroked his beard and looked at it with concern.

"Neg, don't kill him.This product will be expensive. "

"Hee, hee, hee! It's okay, brother!The Demons are tough! "

Neg replies, laughing shamelessly.

Nozzle!

Rurum shouted like a scream and took a bow in his back.

A magic arrow can be caught.

"Wait, now...."

"Hih, no!"

At that time, a red and black striped pattern appeared on Lulum's neck.

Soon the witch of the devil opened her eyes.

"Ugh... ugh..."

The bow and arrow fell from his hand.

Rurum collapses like he can't stand the pain.There's nothing there, whether you take off the rope that hangs on your neck with both hands.

There's just a red and black spell mark.

"What, are you okay!?"

To the rushing Amu, Rurum opened his eyes with sweat, and told him with a scattered voice.

"Run... come on, when..."

Before I finished, the shadow of Rurum spread wide.

In an instant, it erodes our feet.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"......!"

"Ah, gu..."

"What... what is this...?"

Everyone falls.

As the shadow stretched straight to the neg - behind it, a dark ghost sprouted up in a cloak.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Lace Road.

A monster of Astral's highest class that uses powerful Dark Class Magic.

Elman laughs alongside the King of the Ghost, who stands without even a voice from his allies.

"Hahahahaha! Hah... I miss you, Neg.I used to catch people and sell them. "

The eyes of Elmann are opened as if they were geckos.

"We caught a bandit trying to take the load and sold them all to the mine!I took care of a coworker who used his hands and sold his wife and son to a brothel!Threatened the lord, who had been charging extrajudicial taxes, to sell his precious people! "

Then he turned to the nearby vengeful spiritual servant with a familiar gaze.

"─ ─ Everything was done because of you, Neg.Those days of violence and business were the foundation of our success. "

"Hih, ah, if my brother hadn't exchanged them for gold, I'd be dead by the side of the road.Hihihi, we're the strongest together! "

Neg laughs in a good mood.

"But oniichan, after all... that was the best part!"

"Yes, that's right - a fugitive slave of the Devil.It was dangerous, but none of the items sold at such a high price.I never thought I would ever deal with such products again. "

"Ah, that bastard, if he ran away again, I'd find him again, hurt him, and sell him to someone else...."

"If you're dead, you can't help it."

Tell Elman to spare no effort.

I see, I thought so.

He didn't hesitate to take over two god demons, Rurum and Nozzlo - because once Neg beat the god demon.

Probably with an overwhelming power differential.

"But, Neg, we're here."

Elman says with a full smile.

"We are now able to purchase fifteen items that we could not have handled without rare (rare) luck.Oops... seventeen. "

Elmann walked gently and grabbed Rurum's jaw, suffering from the spell mark, and lifted it up.

"Hmm. There are enough women and children, but it's a pretty elegant product.Depending on the pattern of the body, it will be expensive.Nevertheless, Neg, I understand very well.These two are demons. "

"That's why I told you, brother.Hih, that's what they say! "

"Ah... you...!"

Amu, with his angry expression, stood up fluttering.

A curse mark was still on his neck.It must have been quite painful - but still, the hands are on the handle of the sword.

"Don't touch Lulum!!"

Throw out the sword and kick the ground at the slaver.

However, before proceeding any further, the wall of flames stood in front of him.

"Nh...!?"

The brave man's leg stops behind him.

Eventually, when I knelt down as if I had reached my limit, I moaned while holding my neck.

Like dancing around a flame, a red spirit flew.

It's not just Flame Lace. It's Blue and White Frost Lace.Light green wind lace. Ground lace in earthy tones.A whisper that resembles a human soul, like a hero ghost in black.

A wide variety of Astral monsters gush up from the ground like they surround us.

"Ah, what did you try to do to your brother!I'll kill you! "

Elmann said in a calm tone to the eye-catching resentful spiritualist.

"Well done, Neg. This girl will certainly not be able to resist any further.Exposed to the curse of Lace Lord, it's a great thing to just stand up.I'm more concerned than that..... "

Elman's feet turned towards Effa, who fell down and moaned.

Around it, resentment spirits dance, just like nozzles that are sewn in the shadows with blood stains and Rurum who is also suffering on the street.

Slavers look down on blonde girls.

"Hmm... this is pretty good. Hair color is not good, but it will have a good value.Neg, what about this demon race? "

"I can't, brother. It's an elf. And the mixture....."

"Then there's no choice.You can't argue that you're a spy. Let's give it up. "

That said, Elman turned his heel back lightly.

Then he turned to me, who was observing a series of things in silence.

"Well, before we go further, I'd like to ask you one question... Seika.Why are you okay? "

He was an Elman with plenty of laughter... but his eyes seemed slightly scary.

I answered as I stroked the curse mark on my neck.

"This is a boring curse. It only inflicts pain similar to asphyxiation on the subject.It has no effect on the body.This is no different from just illusion. "

"... as I understood it, it shouldn't be painful to endure."

"Well, it's like you're feeling it."

"Yes... of course."

"Confirming the strength of the vigilante with your own body is a merchant of good will.But... don't think you can handle me with a false curse. "

"I see. No... I'm a monster to a first-class adventurer. I'm afraid so."

The talking Elman still doesn't break his spare attitude.

"But... it would be wiser not to imitate it."

……

Now, let's get back to business.

Elman says with a big gesture.

"The Demons, even if they were carrying the Spy of the Devil... no matter how great a worthy first-class adventurer is, they will inevitably be held guilty under imperial law.In any case, there could be capital punishment. Of course, so are your party members. "

……

"Speaking of you, I can't get rid of this number at once.If one of the guards runs away, you're in trouble.Of course, not all of the soldiers here are watching with spectacles from the other side.Even if we could seal everyone's mouth, the Lord who knew the situation would accuse you.This situation is already packed. "

……

"Fu! But don't worry, Seika.I'm convinced. "

Elman says as if he were reaching out for salvation.

"Were you (...) | deceived?"To these two demons. "

……

"I heard that Seika's party originally consisted of four people.I was deceived by a demon spy I met on my journey, who helped me rescue my countrymen.In other words, it was the victim... and that's how you can report it to the Lord. "

"It's rough. Say it clearly."

"Give these people their identity and get out of town."

Elman smiles like a hammer.

"Did you feel sympathy for the demon tribes that happened to be there?These demons are very similar in shape to humans.But... nonsense destroys you.I would advise you to throw away the noble heart as soon as possible. "

……

"Waxy people don't forgive people who are targeting waxy products.When I came up with a real quote on the spot, I offered them a cheap price because they might have raided the warehouse... but I would have laughed if I bought them all.I like the adventurer style. "

……

"Think of this as an untimely punishment.Now, Seika-san, how about it.... "

"I hate to be talking to you, Elman... but I don't know what you're talking about."

"Yes...?"

I tell Elman with a nasty expression, looking down at Rum. [M]

"These are the demons?That's a surprise. I didn't even imagine that. "

……

It was Elman who looked like he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately opened his mouth and started laughing.

"Hahahahaha! This is it!"

I keep laughing at Elman.

"You're right, I just added it to my crew because I happened to be strong... but you were deceived.Thank you for telling me, Elman.Say thank you, but you can do whatever you want with these people. "

"Se, Seika...!?"

Amu raised his face slightly and stared at me in dismay.

"What are you... saying, you...?"

"Hahahahaha, this is good!Master Seika, you still seem to be close to a wacko!It has to be like this with the nobleman who ran away! "

Amu ignores it for the time being and says to Elman that he looks happy.

"The suspicion seems to have cleared up.Then undo the curse on these children. "

"Haha... hmm. However, I'd like to be careful for a while."

"That doesn't make sense.Then I'll figure it out. "

At the same time, Effa and Mabel disappeared from Amu's neck.Together, the three of them breathe air with a rough breath.

"Hmm, this...!"

Amu quickly stood up and tried to attack Elman with his sword.

I cast a spell on my voice and tell it. [M]

"Amu, stop (...)"

"Eh!?"

That's all, Amu stopped moving.

My eyes opened like incredible, looking at me.

"Sei, Ka... what are you doing..."

"You were very close to that woman.I know what you're feeling, but understand.We were deceived. "

"Fu, kidding...!"

"Excellent. You were a wise man, Lord Seika."

Elman deepens his smile.

"These people will be convicted in summary trials in the future.I don't know the charges, but the sentence has already been decided.Yes, you're a slave. In general, sinners' slaves are tendered, but thanks to the kindness of the lord who is welcoming them, it has already been decided to buy waxy slaves.These people are going straight to the waxy slave warehouse after this. "

"It's none of my business.Don't bother to brag about it, you can do whatever you want. "

"Oh, excuse me. That's right."

Upbeat Elman told me to calm down... and pulled the two collars out of the leather bag he was carrying from his shoulder.

The black metal surface is engraved with complex patterns and feels the flow of force.

"As a matter of fact, since then, I've got plenty of slave collars.No, no, I'm glad we made it. "

A slave collar is handed over to the guards and lifted to the necks of Nozlo and Rurum, respectively.

The bloody nozzle was very receptive, but the slender rum showed a slight sign of resistance.

However, the guard twisted his arm and grabbed his hair violently, forcing him to attach his collar.

"Gu... kuu...!"

Amu, who was bound by his name, took a step forward.

Bravery is a great thing, after all.I didn't expect to resist my curse for a little while in this world.

I'll tell you again just in case.

"Amu, let go of the sword (...)"

"I... no...!!"

Amu swallows his teeth and grips back at the sword that is about to fall.

But it seemed impossible to resist the two orders, and I couldn't move one more step.

Elman says satisfactorily.

"Hmm, that's reassuring.Neg, no more curses and magic. "

A nozzle falling out of the shadows into the ground and a rum breathing backwards make the guards stand up in a rush.

I say to Elman.

"If you're ready to take me, get out of the way.We need to get the carriage back. "

"Yes, let's do that.By the way, Seika... is it okay to stop buying slaves? "

"I see. I don't need it anymore."

Well then ― ― can I get a cancellation fee?Anyway, it doesn't matter how much you feel.Just to the extent that we can be sure we won't press charges against you. "

"... he's a jerk."

When I sigh, I look back. [M]

Then he walked towards Effa and Mabel, and lifted up a large bag of gold coins that had fallen beside him.

"Se, Seika-kun, that's it...."

Ignoring Eva's trustworthy voice, I threw a large bag into slavery. [M]

A few gold coins spill out of the mouth of a big bag that fell at Elman's feet.

"Oh, this is...."

It should weigh quite a bit, but Elman lifted it himself.

"Looks like you made a lot of money.Adventurers can't be fools.If that's the case, you can sell one of the gods and give it to me. "

I told you it was none of my business anymore.

"Fu! That's good. You will live long, Seika."

Hand over the big bag to Neg, and Elman laughs with his nose and tells us.

"That was a good deal. Bye."

Turn your heels back and Elman leaves.

Behind them was a neg holding a large sack of gold coins in both hands, and guards accompanying the two gods.

At that time, Rurum looked at us slightly.

"....."

But with a sad side-face, it is quickly diverted.

……

I was just staring at it. [M]
