The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 159: Visiting Consecutive Countries
The Vandaloos who captured "Auger's Nest" returned to Demon Kingdom and had dinner.
And that night, in a dream, he was invited to the sanctuary of Gareth, the guardian deity of the demon kingdom, the god of warriors, and talked with the successive demon kings who died to his angels and heroes after his death.
As a result of his fusion with the Demon King's deity, just like the main Zantak, Gareth, a half-looking young man whose half-body has become deformed, said in a harsh tone.
"Semi-vampires who follow the Black Goblin, the Black Dog Demon (Anubis), the Black Pig Demon (Ocus), the Carnivorous Demon (Ghoul), and the Vampires, swallow [the Devil's Horn], and respect the demon people Yo. I want to give you the title of "Emperor"
"What is that heart?
`` I'm going to catch up with Fidirug and Merebeil on this occasion ''
Although Gareth seemed to be inaccessible, she was a patron demon of the demon country, and her behavior was easy to understand.
"More in the age of the Jindai ... I have taught me what is a battle, what is the determination necessary to become a warrior, but ... Demon people who are children of Zantak and Vida. Seemed too difficult. If you do not understand it easily, the oracle can not be communicated ... "
Apparently it used to teach philosophical teachings in the past, but his personality changed as he matched the demons.
The successive demon kings, who are now Gareth's angels and spirits, are also grinning.
"No, I'm sorry. I didn't know what was being said when I was alive. '
"Is it about three generations before Tenma? Why did you think a bit?
"When a woman was a king, she used her head. Except for me
"Rabbits also ask for those who are alive now. What are you getting? Those who have chosen based on criteria other than muscle. ''
"If not based on muscles, we will not answer. Well, leave it to me. I made friends with my heart, and my mother and Princess Levia seem to be on good terms with Yura. "
Since the demon kingdom is surrounded by dungeons, daily life will be easier if you can use the guild card of the investigator guild to enable the transfer of each level.
I did not hesitate to give such help for Oniwaka who had deepened friendship and Yura who seemed to be a friend of mothers.
However, Gareth made a subtle face.
"Oniwaka? ... I'm a candidate for the next generation of the demon king, so I'll give you a little bit ... I don't mean to ignore my intentions."
"Hmm? No, why don't we visit each other's countries or set a period and stay there?
Vandalu did not intend to headhunt the first child of another king, so he suggested.
"Isn't it okay ... then is there no problem? I ask that child.
Now, bless the name of "Emperor" and your friends ... and souvenirs. "
Gareth, meanwhile, grabbed his irregular body halfway and crushed several projections. Present it to Vandalu.
"This is a part of me who is now the guardian deity of the demon. Even if you don't have the demon's factor, if you have the aptitude, you should be able to lead more strongly by giving this. "
"Thank you for that precious thing"
I woke up when I received a thank you note. But there was no part of Gareth I had received anywhere. Probably not material.
"Well, you can use it when you should use it because you received it."
I got two names of Demon Emperor!
And the band went from the demon country to the next country to visit.
"Vandaru! Please come to pick me up!"
"Vandaloo, come again!"
For a while, Talea and Oniwaka who were left for technical exchanges forgotten it.
"Vandaloo, you can't use your tongue anymore, even if you're trying your hand in the country you're going to. Especially because it's definitely not good for your face. "
However, during the journey, Darussia and others were so reminded.
"But mom, the tongue is quite useful as a weapon."
Gehenna Queen Bee's Quinn licked her tongue with her tongue and tied it cleanly.
"In my case, it's stretchable, and my tongue is almost muscular, so I can use it to hit me.
It is easy to pierce the opponent's surprise, and even if it is cut off, if I am now, it is possible to grow again with the [high speed playback] skill. Much faster than arms and legs. ''
Vandalu continues to lick eggs while emphasizing the superiority of the tongue. It looks like a worker bee.
By the way, Quinn is laying new eggs from the abdomen of a bee growing like a tail from the waist. She not only lays, but also takes care of the eggs, but she does not have much to do because she works like a professional bee.
"Bochan, completely annoyed with the child ... it's a rabbit, but I understand the superiority of it as a tongue weapon, but it's no good."
"Don't hit your face especially. Oniwaka was cheek, but Yura was still amazing!
Rita and Salia appeal so. Apparently, Yura and the girls did not just get closer.
He seems to be a friend and also a formidable negotiator.
"My husband and Darcia do not say that using the tongue separately is sneaky or bad at hearing, but just because the other party was bad ... it was still a face."
As Belmond murdered, Vandaloo reconsidered that the problem seemed to be a problem.
Certainly, the face may have been poor. If it hits your lips, it's a kiss, even if you didn't do it.
Oniwaka's important son was licked with his tongue on his cheek in public. It's no wonder Yura could use that as a source of negotiations.
`` I used your tongue with the same feeling as a fist or kick, but was it definitely a problem when asked? ''
Oniwaka himself didn't seem to mind, but Vandaloo scratched his head for doing something wrong with him. I will apologize later.
"No, your Majesty. If you apologize, you may be overwhelmed. Yura is glad to sell Oniwaka. "
“It looks like we are on good terms, so please come for a good future for both countries. I was so enthusiastic that I decided to set a deadline and let each other go. "
But according to Princess Levia and Olbia, Yura doesn't mind either. That was good, but Vandalou turned his head off why his son was being sold.
And suddenly I noticed.
"... maybe Oniwaka is not a son but a daughter?"
"... I didn't notice it."
"My husband, Oniwaka is a venerable child named by the first child of the demon king. I believe that the name was in the record of the hero Hilwillow, and it was probably a demon. That's because the ancestors of the demons gave my child their name. ''
"By the way, your real name is called Yuma."
Belmondo's commentary and Saria's supplementary information made him aware that he had misunderstood.
"Well, I don't know. His voice was high, but he was husky, and he always wore armor. We didn't even notice at the party until Yura told me. "
"The tone and the gesture were boys. I loved muscles. The face is indeed a woman's face, but it's impossible to notice if it's so far aligned. '
Yes, Rita and Olbia defend themselves, but it was a vandaloo that seemed unconscious.
"When I heard the woman's taste at the feast, she answered that she had more muscle than herself, so I thought it was strange, but she wasn't a shaven but a young lady."
"No, it was the one who had the princess of Toda. So what do you do in the future, Bochan?
"... It's weird to be a girl now, so I'll treat Oniwaka as a friend of my heart as before, but in the future I'll fight in the country I'm visiting, but only use my tongue from my neck down. Let's go "
"Oh?
"Zoo, human society is hard. Is it just a matter of hitting the mouth and tongue? '
"It's comfortable to lick."
Knochen, the bones, and those who live in different values than people, were wondering.
The next Harpy country I visited was challenged by a number of Harpies. It is not just because we were suspicious about the power of Vandaloo like Oniwaka and others, but they all challenged with the sense of an event, "Because it is an opportunity."
And besides fighting.
"Well ... don!
With the command of Princess Levia, the athletics of the ground species of Vandalu and Harpy began.
"I can't fly in the sky, but I won't lose on the ground!"
Harpy ground species with large bodies and short wings. They are harpies with the characteristics of non-flying birds such as ostriches, emu and moir.
Naturally, they can't fly, but their strength on the ground is no worse than Centaur or Arachne.
"What, only one black star is enough!"
However, Vandaloo's quadruped running through the ground with the claws of both hands and feet has not lost her power.
"It's enough."
However, they lost at the speed they could actually play. The Ghoul secret quadruped seemed to be inferior to the running power of the ground species Harpies.
"I won!"
"Ya-i, emperor Birikets!"
Ground-type Harpies who run through to the goal at a stretch while saying so. The back figure goes away with great momentum.
"... was the speed, not the number of legs, but muscle?"
Respecting the tight beauty of the terrestrial species, Vandaloo continued to run with two characters of defeat.
"Majesty, it is your arms, not your forefoot, that extends from your majesty's shoulders. Have you not forgotten?
Princess Levia, catching up from the starting point, asks for confirmation for some reason.
"Is this your husband's zero win and two defeats?"
"Don't worry, Vandaloo. Neither was a good competition. And it's more important to do your best than to win!
Next to Belmondo taking notes, Darussia cheers.
By the way, the first black star was a dance confrontation with Harpies who have especially colorful decoration feathers. Of course, defeat.
"But if you won the dance showdown, you surely came to Harpy-san."
"I was glad I lost"
Thalia and Rita muttering on the left and right of Darussia. Maybe, Darussia agreed with them.
`` I don't hate political marriage, but I'd like you to come to Vandaloo and a girl who can get along with everyone. ''
That's what Darcia wants to do with his son.
He is not the adventurer or aristocrat, but the king, and Vandalu, who will be officially emperor, but he is liked by many, regardless of his social status.
That's because you have the skill of [Invitation for Hades] that has changed from [Captivating Death Attribute]. Enchanting skills that affect new species of specific Vida such as undead, ghouls and vampires, insects and plant-type monsters, and even some humans. Moreover, its range and power are increasing from the beginning.
This trend will continue.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be more people around Vandalu. And half of those who have increased in proportion will be women.
If you don't like that, you have to lock up Vandaloo even in a closed space or room.
As a result, Darussia and his colleagues believed that after consultation with men, they had to do "selection" rather than "restriction."
…… If you leave it alone, it is likely that Vandalu will increase.
"Oniwaka-sama seems to have got along with the boy?
When Sam asked, Darussia and her daughters replied, "I'm not in the opposite direction."
"Dad, the problem is history. If parents decide on their own and their feelings do not go well, they will not last long!
"So it's not the opposite. Just think you should look a little further!
It's a marriage between the Emperor and the first child of a country that will be under the influence of the Emperor, but inside the border mountains where the values of the new tribe of Vida are permeating, their feelings are that they are politically married. Ignoring was a taboo. Only the Lord God is "the goddess of life and love."
"And the Oniwaka shaven .... not a lady, I don't think I like the shaven in that sense."
"surely. Ah, it's like a naughty shabby boy playing with a play friend, and his sex appeal is a piece ... "
That's what Volks and Kimberly, who had possessed while capturing Auger's Nest, said so. In fact, Oniwaka was dealing with Vandaluu in exactly the same way.
And her favorite type is someone who has more muscle than her. Even with his tongue in his muscles, Vandaloo would not be among the types he likes.
“She is still early in the season of love. Whatever you do with the Lord, you should be quiet now? '
"Ooh!"
The two animals concluded the story about Oniwaka.
"By the way, Dulcia, you know that we're going to 'sort', but how do we 'sort'?"
Belmond, who noticed that the criteria for selection was determined to be "May be friends with Vandaloo and everyone," asked.
Usually, parents would place orders with their children's dating partners, so they thought it would be in Darussia.
"Yes ..."
When asked again, Darussia thought with his hand on his cheek. In the past, you may have spoken a bit to Vandalu, but recently you have been completely distracted. And the trivial things are not remembered in her memory, a weak spirit.
So when I think about it again ... I can hardly think of it.
"Let's do it, I may not be eligible to talk about Vandalu's heterosexual relationship."
On the contrary, I looked back at myself and thought so.
Darussia leaps out of his native forest and dwells in a human town with a shadowy man, and after dating Valen is a subordinate vampire of the evil sect, dating.
From the point of view of a typical dark elf, she is a pretty unscrupulous person.
Belmond was in a hurry looking for words to calm the upset Darussia.
"Speaking of which, I have never been associated with the opposite sex, although I have been unilaterally attacked."
Belmond was expelled from his hometown because his ancestors' Lamia blood appeared in the shape of his eyes and tongue. She was then a girl, attacked by humans, picked up by vampires, and spent most of her 10,000-year life alone guarding her husband's retreat, built by the lake.
He had suffered, but had no experience of dating.
"In the case of me, I'm a guy who cheats me and kills me, and I can't say great things about my eyes."
"I and my fiance haven't been decided yet."
"... In the previous life, with a bee only once"
"Not to mention our sisters. Is this annihilated?
"Others who have had serious dating with the opposite sex ... because the ghouls are no good ... yes, let's listen to Fester and Lina when they return! Legion Jack and Hitomi are OK!
"No, let's calm down. Rita is not a panic! "
"I don't panic. So what's the story?"
"I'm here ~ I'm here to return the emperor ~"
The consultation was abandoned when Vandaloo came back on the back of Harpy, a ground species.
The third event in Harpy was aerobatic flying. It was a vandaloo with a monster form that substantiated the spirit body into a wing shape, but the form was specialized in transport capacity, and it seemed that speed and mobility could not match the Harpies.
However, Vandalu betrayed everyone's expectations, and skillfully flew the sky by growing Cemetery Bee's wings from his back in [Armouring].
"Three rotations in the air"
Vuvuvuvuvuvuv.
"Good but something different?"
However, the rule of freedom was to use either wings or wings, non-elemental magic or wind-type magic, so it was Vandaloo's first victory without any problems.
The next challenge was in the Centaur country, but the first race was an athletics because of the lower body of the horse.
However, the event is obstacle competition.
"We are the race that is born of the lower body of horses! Therefore, we cannot survive in the harsh interior of this border mountain range without manipulating the lower body more than humans. That's why this challenge.
Let's get along like Harpies, the new emperor! "
The king of the Centaur king, Silvali, adorned with feather headdresses and tattoos reminiscent of Indians declares so. Receiving it from the front, Vandaloo leaned at the indicated obstacle course.
"... Rather, it feels more advantageous to me than normal competition, is that OK?"
The obstacles installed in the obstacle competition course are three walls that compete for jumping power, a balance beam that competes for a sense of balance, an uphill that competes for leg strength, and a burning hula hoop that competes for self-care and courage.
Rabbits are the corners of walls and uphills, and all other obstacles are centaur-sized, so they are all large for humans.
The last thing is somehow circus-like, but it seems that most obstacles are set up so that Centaur is less favorable.
So I checked, but Silvaly nodded with his arms crossed, saying "I'm good."
"Because this is the course we usually use when competing at festivals, it is natural that it is made for us with exactly the right difficulty. Because we compete with two legs, this should not be a handicap ... Did the emperor become four-legged or eight-legged? "
However, he suddenly drops his dignified eyebrows into a figure eight in the middle of the story.
"And, according to rumors, isn't it the maximum of twelve legs? Is it easy to win without a handicap? Actually, because I'm watching the kids, I don't want to show the sad part ... … I don't mean to give up the victory, but can I ask for a close battle? ”
Silvary slurped in her voice and asked, and then implicitly proposed a matchmaker. He pointed to the eyes of Centaur and Harpy children, including a girl with a black horse's lower body, who seemed relentless.
By the way, Sylvari is married to the Queen of Harpy.
"I haven't done well with my older daughter recently.
"No, I don't use [the devil's shard], it's just a four-legged one."
King Bandarou has assured King Silvery, who seems to have a serious complex in the number of feet.
"That's right! I'm safe. Let's compete fairly, emperor!"
Suddenly, King Sylvari regained his original dignity and dignity, and while saying so, he could not touch the shoulders of Vandaloo because of the difference in height. He touched his head twice with Pom Pom.
When I talk to him, I remember Privel. Are you still leveling in dungeons?
"... I said Princess Levia in Harpy, but her husband's shoulders are not his forelimbs but his arms."
Belmondo nailed Vandalu, a distant eye.
By the way, the important point of the game was that Vandaloo also performed well, but there was a difference in geographical strength and King Silvari won.
"Then, Emperor, I'll ask you for the duties of the loser, as I explained before. It's a formal thing, so you just need to brush it."
In this game, the loser was to praise the winner and brush the winner.
"No, I'll do it carefully."
While saying so, Vandalu took out a brush made of Treasure's 100% [Maou's hair].
As a result, King Silvari fell and did not have enough, and the Centaurs who sought my own brushing also fell one after another.
"It's amazing. I thought Belmond was very sensitive. '
"Did you understand that I am not particularly sensitive or weak in control?"
"The brush made by Treasure and the power of [Devil King's hair] ...?
"Wow ... what is the Demon King?
"No, don't worry. It's definitely the first time I've made a brush with [the Demon King's hair] or brushed it. "
"By the way, I also gave a psychic massage. Centaur people seem to be stiff at the joint between the upper and lower body."
"That's waist. Maybe talk with Talea
"Back pain talk? It looks a little elderly
"Both of them have a gap between their upper and lower bodies like Syura and Arachne. Well, I don't care because I'm a ghost anymore. "
All the influential people of the centaurs, the famous warriors, and the family of Sylvari have been watered down, so that after the second race, all of them have gone to vandaloo.
"Oh, it's good to be a challenge or something.
There was no challenge in Lamia.
"Why?"
When Vandaluh, who was looking forward a little, was surprised and heard back, Lamia replied, with Queen Tanat at the head.
`` I understand the character of you who will be the new emperor even if you do not fight anymore ''
"Because of our country's event, playing magic and singing and musical instruments, the results are decided before we do it, right?"
"Look, your reputation has improved in our country, so it's better now."
The challenge to the emperor was not only to see the strength of the emperor, but also to see his personality.
In response to the challenge, can you fight according to the rules required by the partner country, do not get angry if you are challenged with difficulty, and can you establish each country if you lose? It seemed worth trying.
"Well, that was a sneak peek around Harpy."
The previous emperors were born from the Noble Oak Empire. It was hard to imagine that they had a good performance in competition with the ground species Harpy and Centaur and in aerobatic flying.
The same goes for the Noble Oak Budarion, which was supposed to take on these challenges. I can hardly imagine a Budalion running in the wind in Vandalu and flying lightly in the air. In particular, it would be impossible to dive into the fire.
So I thought that what was important was something other than winning or losing.
"Eh !? Did you notice?"
"No, I thought but it was fun, so I responded naturally."
"What is it?
After seeing Vandaloo in Harpy and Centaur, the Lamias decided to recognize him as emperor.
And in the Lamia event, as they say, the result has been known before and after to be one and two losses for Vandalu.
"In addition, she seems to have a good reputation for taking care of eggs, and there seems to be a legendary Orochi. Please bring me the next time you come."
"Orochi?"
There is no reason to say that eggs are taken care of well. Probably because Vandaloo cares for Quinn's eggs and mixes it with the working bees of Cemetery Bee.
Lamia and Harpies, both of the same egg ages, seemed to have gained a favorable impression as a child-bearing emperor.
But what is Orochi? Perhaps the legend of the Yaki Daija snake is written fragmentally in the records left by the hero, like samurai and ninjas, and after various misunderstandings, became the subject of respect and worship of the Lamia I can guess, though.
"... Oh, Yamata"
Through my memories, I realized that it was a hydra zombie Yamata that joined the upper bodies of nine beautiful women of different races instead of their original heads.
"That's true! It's a zombie, but it's Yasha. Some of the queens have gone up to Echidna, but none of them have gone to Yamatanoorochi, so they were all watching. "
Apparently, somebody about Yamata had been passed on to Lamia.
After visiting Harpy, Centaur, and Lamia, Vandaloo and his group headed the next day to the remaining three nations, the Dragon and Mermaid nations, and the Dark Elf nation, who were to visit in front of Vida's Sleep.
Two names commentary: "Emperor"
The God of Warriors Gareth and his angels and spirits have come up with two ideas to strengthen their connection with Vandaloo. Of course, there is no precedent for acquiring these two names.
Enhance charisma for demons and races named after demons. It is also an unexpected effect for Gareth, but it increases the effect of [Guiding: Hadesmage] on undead in general.
Devil (race) commentary: Harpie II (record of human society)
A new Vida tribe with bird wings and claws on both arms and legs. Sometimes called Harpy.
It is said that Vida was one of the races that was born as a result of intermingling with the demon, but one theory states that it was a race that was born by intermingling with the beast king as well as the beast race. However, it is alleged that the bird's beast was born as a harpy, not a bird beast, because of the curse of the evil god. However, only the Vida and Harpies support this theory.
It is a monosexual tribe of women only and is born in eggs and grows for about 10 years. Life is basically about 100 years. There are three species: normal, raptor, and aboveground. The rank is 3 for normal and above-ground species, and 4 for bird of prey.
