The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

"Cheers! Cheers to elders and benefactors!"

"Umepu, the meat from the benefactor!"

The Ghoul community, rescued by the eldest Zadiris and recognized and welcomed by warrior chief and next patriarch Vigaro, was deep inside the Makai.

The settlements of the ghouls were much wider and civilized than Vandalu expected.

A pit-type house with a roof made of woven leaves is lined up in a plaza made by cutting through the walls of a magical forest rather than a forest.

I'm wondering if the humidity is OK because of the shape of the building, but it's probably not a problem because it's not a real Amazon or subtropical climate.

After that, a well is dug to secure water, and the area is primitive and the size of a vegetable garden, but there are also fields. It seems that there are even warehouses that ferment the plants obtained in the surrounding dense forest to make sake and process and preserve the prey obtained by hunting.

The life of the ghouls is like a minority living in the forest, as seen by Vandalu on a television program on the earth. At least it's a more cultural and productive community than demons such as goblins and Kobolts that rely on complete hunting and gathering.

"And I think I'm living a more human life than I've ever been."

Vandalu, who continues to rely on hunting and gathering, including looting from bandits, reaffirmed the ghouls after all when it was important for a stable living base. It is said that people can live a personal life for the first time with clothes, food and housing.

And the ghouls were having a banquet with the meat provided by Vandalu and the bandit's wine that he did not use more than expected.

About a hundred of them. There are about 10 other warriors hunting goblins over the next few days, so it seems more. Although it is not very familiar with the ecology of monsters, it is not difficult to imagine that it is the largest monster settlement on the demon boundary.

Incidentally, the leader of the goblin hunters seems to be the youngest daughter of Zadiris. She is a woman, but she is more talented as a warrior than magic.

And a ghoul man with a lion-like head and arms longer than his legs, and a ghoul woman who is not much different from a human woman except for gray-brown skin, praise Vandalou who helped Zadiris and provided meat and sake. , I have a taste for cooking. That was enough to calm down Vandalu, "I did a good job."

Even if you know the identity of the meat, that impression does not change.

After all, it is better to eat with everyone.

"Vandaloo, eat you too"

Vigaro offered a skewer of well-baked meat, but Vandaloo shook his head.

"Because there is some resistance to eating human meat"

Yes, Vigaro's skewers, grilled and boiled with herbs, etc. eat the meat of five adventurers killed when Vandaloo saves Zadiris. In other words, it was human flesh.

Although it is not an undead, it is a ghoul different from the image that Vandaloo has, but the feature of eating human flesh was applied.

"Is that so? It's better than the poisoned feet?"

Vigaro leans his head when he sees a roasted hind leg of the poisoned toad being eaten by Vandalu, but Zadiris, sitting next to him, scolds him.

`` Don't invite me too much, I guess Vandalou is a damp peel, so he drinks blood but eats meat. ''

"Well, how about sake?"

"Vandaloo is only one year old, alcohol can only be poisoned. Will you give him resistance skills at a party?"

"One year old !? Is that so? I thought I was older because I was quite small."

Although Vigalo opens his eyes and is surprised, it is no wonder that he looks at the behavior of Vandaloo and seems to have lived much longer than he would seem. No, it's more natural to think.

"Well, a boy who uses magic to take several undead and defeat five adventurers. It's no wonder that he is just an adult with a small body ..."

"Is that so? I'm still a young one-year-old."

"I can't see you"

Zadiris and Vigaro shake their heads in line with their voices. I don't mind because I thought "I'm sure".

In fact, nobody would look at today's Vandalu and consider it an "innocent one-year-old" except for magic and undead. An expressionless, dead-eyed dead eye, a sparse presence in front of you. Her hair is unlimited, because Darussia was killed in the latter half of her birth. What she wears is more than a rag and less than clothes.

No matter how favorably you look, it's a ghost.

"Elder, can we greet our benefactors too?"

"Please by all means"

But the impressions of the Ghoul women did not seem to be the case. Several ghoul women star at Vandalu with their yellow eyes shining.

In response, Vandaloo blinked his eyes. I'm amazed that I've never been popular with anyone other than the spirit in my life.

"Um, boy, these are the youngest women in the village, I'm teaching a lot now."

The women introduced by Zadiris certainly looked young. Most appear to be in their mid-teens to around 20 years of age. However, although they have a younger appearance, Zadiris, who is called elder.

"Cute, your hair looks like a mane."

"Beautiful eyes, the colors are different on the left and right."

But mentally they seem to be younger than Zadiris. As soon as they are introduced, they take on a vague alternative to Vandaloo.

"Oh, hey, don't be too violent."

It was pretty rough to grab a leg, lift it upside down, and make it a one-year-old. Vandalou was fine because he was already stronger than an adult man, thanks to Dumpil.

However, it is natural that you will feel uncomfortable if you receive such treatment normally. But Vandalu was not angry at all with their rough welcome.

"that? Maybe this is ...

I have never been so shiny in my life so far. The third time in my life, is it the first mote period? ? Evandalou's thoughts had stopped there, so he couldn't be angry with the violence of his treatment.

The Ghoul women were all beautiful girls or beautiful girls, and all of them were well-exposed because they had settled in a magical forest-like settlement. Even human men will stretch under their nose when they are tied up by them.

Unless you notice the fact that they were also eating meat.

"I say Vandalu. Thank you."

And Vandalu didn't even care about the shards.

If you think about it, the adventurers weren't trying to rape and enslave human girls and sell them off as slaves. They were attacking Ghoul Zadiris, a socially demonized monster.

Of course, selling her as a slave is an illegal act, but it's a crime of saying, "I put a monster in the town, which I didn't even aim at," so it's different from the law that prohibits illegally selling a human girl.

And by the time Vandalu was attacked, they were just trying to rape a monster female. It's not a crime. Which country enforces the law, "Never rape or humiliate a demon female?" No, maybe it would mean that weird illness wouldn't become epidemic.

Ethically, female adventurers and guild receptionists will frown and despise. But they have not violated the rules.

In the first place, adventurers exist to exterminate demons and protect people. Ghoul has roots in the goddess Vida, but is defined as a demon in the Amid Empire and its dependencies.

So rape before killing is legally no problem.

Thus, the act of killing an adventurer by Vandaloo is merely a raid, and the act of stripping equipment from a corpse is a bandit itself.

However, if you think further, you can say, "So what happened?"

Because Vandaloo is a dumpy. The Amid Empire and its dependents are defined as "monsters" that are neither human nor anything.

In other words, it is the same as ghoul. It attacks humans and does harm.

Then attack a group of guarded adventurers, kill them all, plunder their equipment, and act on the flesh to find out what's wrong.

After all, Vandaloo is like a goblin or poison toad for that adventurer. Where you need to worry.

If Vandaluu is going to do some human rights work on Dampir in the sphere of the Amid Empire, he may have to worry ... but he did not. I'm sorry to be asked, such a troublesome thing.

The welcoming people feel more familiar with ghouls than humans. If you are so pleased, should we save the bandits of bandits? Let's do it now.

Thinking like that while floating.

"I hope my child will be as strong as Vandalu. I'm 30 years old and I still can't leave my parents."

"Hey, can you pat me my stomach?-I hope your baby will be born a strong child like you."

"I say Bilde. If my newborn child is a man, can I get your name?"

It fell at a stretch. All of them seem to be mothers or mothers soon. I didn't notice because my stomach was still flat.

I didn't think I could have that kind of relationship with them, nor did I really hope. Anyway, I'm still a one-year-old, so it can't be done. However, I couldn't help feeling the mood.

At the same time, what is your personality that disappoints you? At first, he was frustrated by the self-hatred that he did not remember when he killed the adventurers.

"Yes! I'm not tired and limp, let's release the boy!"

When viewed from the side, I could only see it loose.

Ghoul, at least a rank 3 undead monster. It has higher intelligence and sociability than subhuman demons such as other goblins, oaks, and kobolts, and its appearance differs greatly by gender.

Commonly has grayish brown skin with yellow eyes, strong power, secretes paralytic poison from nails, and prefers carnivores. It is also strong in poison and pain, and has a strong vitality.

Males have a lion's head and excel in warrior abilities, especially those with greater power and paralytic poison than females.

On the other hand, females generally have the appearance of beautiful women, and although their physical abilities are lower than males, many of them have magical qualities and often use simple magic.

But it's not that there are no female warriors or male sorcerers.

Ghouls may also perform special rituals that turn human corpses into family members.

Ghoul Warrior, Ghoul Berserker, Ghoul Mage and the like exist as higher species, and higher Ghoul Tyrant and Ghoul Elder Mage have been confirmed in the past.

"This is information I know about ghouls ... are you going to spend the spring in that ghoul settlement?"

"Yes. And mother, Ghoul is not an undead but a vampire, and seems to be a race with roots in Vida."

Vandalu responded to the worried face of Darussia with his usual expressionless expression.

"So I'm too worried. If you are undead, you will be friendly with Vandaloo's skill, but is it different? What if they get hungry and try to eat Vandaloo?

For Darussia, who had just woke up and did not look directly at the Zadiris, the worries were extremely legitimate.

"I think it's ok. Maybe. At least, I don't feel the 'sign of death' here, just like sneaking into Ebbezia."

Vandaloo was tolerant of some, if not all, of their friendly attitude.

Neither Darussia nor Vandalu himself have noticed yet, but his skill of mesmerizing death attributes worked well for the ghouls.

"And I still have to spend some time in the right place until spring. The Zadiris say they can stay forever."

Vandalu was asked by the top of the community to ask if he could stay until spring. Enchanting skills and meat are great.

"I'd like to have Zadiris teach you a lot later in the spring."

"That's good about the election of Orbaum ... isn't it?

"Yes, I knew I had a guild card problem."

Vandalou glanced at the five guild cards on the carriage, which had become rather wide because of the sake. It is the property of the adventurers who attended the feast, with their names and the fact that they are D-class adventurers.

Of course, I'm going to get rid of it later, but I've heard some very important information from the spirits of the adventurers, so I've been looking a bit before that.

Guild cards have the ability to display your status to others. Other people's stats that can only be seen by using special magic and magic items.

However, it seems that the owner of the card can adjust how far the status is shown. Whether to show only the name and current job, the job history up to now, or the ability values and skills. It is the owner's freedom.

However, when you first create a guild card, all information is displayed to guild staff.

"That's why the moment I become an adventurer, my skills and curses are broken."

"Well, it's awkward. Usually, I'm glad I can get a reward. "

The Adventurer's Guild pays rewards to adventurers who show or gain unknown jobs and skills.

And the skills that Vandaloo has already acquired, Death Attribute Magic and Death Attraction, were unknown skills.

It was first heard of Darussia when Vandaloo described his premortal and premortal lives. To be precise, when I heard my son's skill structure, I realized that there was a skill that was first heard.

"The moment you register with a guild, you become a celebrity. The magician guild will definitely pay attention.

I think there will be a curse about the curse later. ''

"But now I can't forget my skills or get rid of the curse in advance, so I want to gain some knowledge, skills and power before registering in the guild."

In this world, without any parents, living in human society requires a guarantee of identity, which requires registration with some guild. And since every guild has a guild card, Vandaloo's skills and curses are apparent.

However, since the guild is basically an organization to protect members, it does not unfairly restrain or abduct Vandaloo's own personality, even if it is to elucidate unknown skills and curses. No other member or non-members will be able to manage Vandaloo just because they have an unknown skill or curse.

Ostensibly.

I know that everyone in the world is not just good people who follow the rules and ethics.

"Can't you help? Zadiris seems to be able to use magic and people are taught a lot. Even if you can't master the magic itself, you can definitely apply it to death-type magic. ''

"Yes, mom"

Thus, Vandalu lived in the ghoul community for a while.

<< [Death attribute fascination] skill level has been raised to 3!

[Improve your kin] Skill acquired!

At first glance, it was nothing but a blue-purple fin type. It has a slimy feel when touched and is halfway soft.

At least, it was something I couldn't imagine as food.

Can you really eat it? Isn't this a joke? While wondering, Vandaloo ate a bite of it.

After all, a subtle texture, a slightly bitter and slightly spicy subtle taste, and a subtle smell that it is not a habit but not a fragrant one drifts to the nostrils.

If you don't know what the ingredients are, you're going to lean on meat or fish or vegetables.

"How about, Van, what's the taste of Gobgob?"

"……Is delicious"

When asked by a tall girl, Ghoul, whose nickname was reduced to her name, she was reflexively uttering flattering compliments. The influence of a communal disorder that does not heal appears in this area.

"Van, what have you ever eaten? No ghoul thinks this is delicious."

Even if that compliment, there is no effect because Vandalu is expressionless. In trying to recount something to Ghoul, whose mercy is floating in her yellow eyes, she realizes that her diet is not something she can recall.

"... huge frog hind legs"

It tasted the best except for breast milk and blood.

"Well, there are plenty of good monsters and fruits at Makai. You're only a year old, don't worry."

The name of the girl Ghoul who strokes Vandalu's head while saying so is Basdia. Returning in the morning, he is the leader of the warriors who went to goblin hunting and the youngest daughter of Zadiris.

She is a mid-twenties beautiful woman with a height of more than 910 cm, combined with trained muscles and rich feminine curves. The earth may be called a female athlete or a fighter who is too beautiful.

And very similar to Zadiris. If you look at them, you will think everyone is an older sister. I assumed that Zadiris was my sister and Basdia was my sister.

"But, don't humans make gob-gobs. Can human settlements eat so much good? If so, I'm convinced of the deliciousness of both adventurers."

"No, I just don't know how to make gobgob."

"Don't you know why? There's everywhere in the material and the adventurers hunt well."

The gob-gob ingredients that Basdia says are everywhere and adventurers often hunt. It was goblin and gobbu grass juice.

First, gobbu grass is a purple weed, commonly referred to as a goblin of grass, which, when vigorously crushed, produces a purple juice. It is a kind of evil grass, but it has no direct harm. It is a grass like a natural enemy of a farmer, which grows in a field that a person is taking care of at an unforeseen time, and grows by vigorously sucking the nutrients of the field.

And it is a kind of evil grass, but it is unpleasant and uncomfortable because it is not edible and does not become a drug material.

A goblin-like grass, a gobbu grass, from a place where it only has high fertility and is harmful and useless.

And goblin, as everyone knows, the meat is stinky and not very eaten. Same for blood and internal organs. Vandaloo is also a goblin blood and insect juice. If you have to drink either one, it is so bad that you choose the latter.

The goblin meat cut into a suitable size is immersed in juice made by crushing gobbu grass for a whole day. The goblin flesh then smells, giving it a taste that is not delicious but not sour. What's more, it doesn't rot for about a year, so it becomes a gobgob that can be used as a preserved food.

"When we can't get our prey, we'll beat this gob gob."

"I think it's a convenient emergency and preserved food that takes less time and skill than making dried meat, but humans wouldn't think of eating goblins that way."

As Vanderlu says, humans would use their effort to cultivate and hunt rather than goblin for something more delicious than to devise to make goblins edible.

"What do you mean?"

Convinced or given up, Basdia returns to cutting the goblin meat with a meat cleaver. There is still work to make gobgob with dozens of goblin meats.

Basdia is the best of all young ghouls, including men, but is not very strong in the settlement. In Ghoul's society, men are strong, women are said to be determined by their magical skills and the number of children born.She is not good at magic and she has never had children yet, so even martial arts masters It seems that he cannot be in the position of.

Vandaloo thought while eating the rest of the gobgob that people on earth who were eager to solve such problems were likely to get angry at "discrimination." No, it's not enough time to complain about the demonic ghoul social form.

"I want to have children early and be great. Being able to be great allows me to focus on hunting for more delicious hunts and getting more time doing chores, rather than goblin hunting and gobbing. But "

It seems that low-ranking ghouls are involved in housekeeping, daily necessities, and maintenance of fences surrounding houses and settlements, and include tasks such as goblin hunting for gobgob materials and collecting gobbu grass.

The exception is making weapons and armor, and the ghouls that can do it are said to be respected by the village, even if they are weak or have never had children.

"Do you want to be great and strong?"

"Oh, I like strong guys and I want to be strong."

At first glance, Basdia, who looks like a woman warrior, seems to have the character of a woman warrior.

"And because I'm old."

Basdia seems to have turned 25 this year. Ghoul women are said to be worried that the appearance age will be twice as large as Zadiris because the appearance age will not stop until the child is pregnant.

As far as I see ... Vandaloo thought I didn't have to worry.

"If Van is a little more adult, I'll get seeds."

"Buh !?"

"What happened, Gobgob got stuck in my throat? Is it okay?"

Basdia lifts Vandaloo by dropping a meat cleaver that is supposed to drop the cow's neck. There is no particular embarrassing or such thing on the face.

"No, I'm just surprised because I say something ridiculous with a dismal tone."

There's no reason not to be surprised to get a seed. However, Basdia tilted her head, "Yes?"

"My mother says that if a ghoul woman who was unable to get pregnant in the settlement had a human man alive and caught, she would sometimes request a seed instead of saving her life. Seeds are more likely to have children than ghoul seeds.

It seems that human men are often cooperative and successful. ''

"Well, if life is at stake, you'll be desperate to cooperate."

If a man were to die or have a child, would anyone choose the latter. In particular, ghoul women look like human women unless they care about the color of their skin and eyes. Moreover--.

"All ghoul women are attractive."

The ghoul women that Vandaloo has seen since yesterday are all beautiful girls or beautiful girls. If you can save your life and have sex, wouldn't you call "YES!" Unless you're a man with a strong sense of chastity or an enthusiastic Aldaist?

At least if you are.

"I'm happy from the human eye.

"why?"

"I'm twenty-five. In the most ethnic group of adventurers, they're said to be stupid when they're over twenty-five."

This lambda has a shorter life expectancy because medical technology lags behind the earth and the origin. Instead, there is magic, but only those with a certain fortune can take advantage of the magic. And the percentage of sorcerers who can use obstetrics and gynecology related magic is small.

And in this world, making offspring is an important issue. Because mechanical technology is underdeveloped, the main players in the industry are all people. It takes people to cultivate fields, make clothes, cut stones to make houses, and fight to protect the country. Even magic can be cast by people, and it is everyone who makes magic items.

For this reason, it is common for marriages to be married by the age of 25. It is not uncommon for a female adventurer to pass by, but that is because female adventurers often have property and have connections. Or if there is a de facto spouse who is not married on paper.

Of course, the pregnancy rate of women in this world is not lower than that of the earth, and there is a possibility that they will be pregnant even in their forties, but they are called more and more in the sense of hurrying women who have passed their mid-20s. I often do it.

Of course, since Basdia had no way of knowing the circumstances of such a human society, Ghoul eavesdropped on the chats of the adventurers, but based on the wisdom of listening and listening again.

"I don't think I care too much. I think Basdia is very young."

Even though he was not familiar with the circumstances and trends of human society, he felt a little antipathy, saying, "Isn't this human being too particular about his age?" It is somewhat difficult to show him the importance of leaving offspring to him, a high school student on the earth and a life of only 20 years at the origin.

"I'm glad if you say that."

Basdia, who smiles, was really beautiful and attractive. Her skin, approached by being held up, is beautiful, and the deep cleavage is so deep that if he was adolescent, he would stare at him.

This beautiful diet based on carnivores is probably due to differences in the constitution of humans and ghouls.

"Speaking of which, I heard from my mother that Vandaloo can use an unusual technique, but is there any way to be able to seed me somehow? In the art of life attributes, a part of the body grows rapidly There seems to be something. ''

"... a bit unreasonable"

But Basdia's complex seems to be deeper than Vandaloo thinks. The next time I have a chance to assault bandits and adventurers, I will try to catch her and offer her, but that will make me feel complicated.

"Yes, my daughter is sorry to overdo it."

Zadiris heard at his house and bowed lightly to Vandaloo. For her, of course, having a daughter's child is of utmost concern.

"It's almost a decade before Vandalu gets to be able to sow normally. I wouldn't be able to wait at that child's age. I might have been too busy to see my first grandchild.

... I was more surprised at the fact that the little boy knew the meaning of seeds. "

"Well, there are things like that."

Speaking of which, ordinary one-year-olds are usually seeds, but they usually don't make sense. Vandalu notices that, and for the time being, vaguely misleads. He is fond of Zadiris, Vigaro, and Basdia, but hesitated to confess about the past.

"I don't know what the first grandson is without explaining it."

Vandalu shook his small shoulders in the voices of the men and women heard through the gap between the pit-type dwelling made of trees and leaves and the ceiling and walls.

The chief of the shout is the ghouls of the settlement. Apparently, ghouls do not have the system or values of marriage, and it is common to spend the night with multiple heterosexuals.

This is because ghouls live in dangerous magical territories, women can't stop aging unless they get pregnant early, and their longevity makes it harder to have children than races.

If only one opponent is concerned, the village cannot be maintained.

Vandalou had speculated that Zadiris was the first grandchild of Basdia's future child.

She is said to have two sons in front of Basdia, but she cannot tell if their sons have children or not because DNA testing is not available in this world.

And indeed, no one in the banquet yesterday introduced "husbands", "wifes", "grandchildren" or "grandparents".

"Um, that's it."

Zadiris does not deny. After all, this is the social form of ghoul.

"Well, in the case of Basdia, I know who my father is."

"Who are you?"

"It's Vigaro"

Basdia is 25 years old. Zadiris gave birth to her when she was 265 years old. At that age, ghouls are old enough that they don't usually make children because of their physical strength.

However, at that time, they seemed to have obtained the liquor they had looted from humans in a conflict with Kobolt and drank it.

"The sake is much stronger than the sake that is being made in the village. So when I got drunk and noticed, I started the morning on the same bed."

"……Oh really"

It was a birth secret story with no romance fragments.

"Don't be too careful about drinking, boys.

Now, let's do the magic tricks. ''

Zadiris is old and weak, but a ghoul mage. Of course, you won't be able to use death-type magic, but her tricks will be beneficial to Vandaloo.

The boners, Thalia and Rita are to be taught martial arts by Ghoul warriors while Vandaloo is being beaten.

Sam and the bone birds were each to help with the settlement. Helping to hunt the monsters of Makai will also be their experience points and will encourage growth.

This was the beginning of Vandaloo's first non-self-taught training.

Ghoul Warrior

The existence that normal ghouls have further increased their fighting ability. In ghoul swarms, he serves as the platoon leader or, if no other superior ghouls exist, as chieftain.

He is good at handling martial arts and weapons as well as poisonous claws, and uses martial arts. However, the appearance is not much different from normal ghouls, so care must be taken because misunderstood adventurers may be careless and return.

The defeat proof is the right ear. The materials are fangs, limbs and nails, and the liver is used to make medicine.

In order for a normal ghoul to become a ghoul warrior, you must have acquired multiple martial arts skills at two or more levels. However, many ghouls will clear that condition before they reach level 100.

Basdia, who has more physical talent than magic, is in this status as a result of concentrating on extending it. Despite suffering from infertility, the stats and skills have not been adversely affected.

Ghoulbarbarian

A ghoul who has been ranked up has further refined his martial arts skills and has increased its strength. It boasts a larger body than normal ghouls, and prefers a fighting method that uses its arms to wield weapons to knock down enemies. Many individuals have low intelligence, and only think about fighting in their heads.

For this reason, their status in the flock is low, and they are mostly used for ghoul mages. Barbarians are only male in nature, and no female barbarian has been identified so far.

The defeat proof is the right ear. Materials include fangs, claw and limb claws, tendons used to make bow strings, and magical manes.

To be a barbarian, a ghoul must have at least 3 levels of [Health] skills and have at least 4 levels of skills to handle two-handed weapons.

In the case of Vigaro, he is smarter than other barbarians and is in the position of the next patriarch. In addition, because of their excellent commanding abilities, normal barbarians prefer to fight alone, while Vigaro always flies with his friends.

Therefore it is harder to defeat than usual.
