The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 179: Mother-Daughter Dialogue and Subtle Reunion
Luciliano had a serious face and was observing experimental animals in several cages ... small animals that were trying to breed.
Rats, rabbits, birds and frogs, snakes and insects are all different. Horn rabbits with horns on the head and big frogs of the same size as medium-sized dogs are included up to rank 1 but also monsters.
So far, it is not uncommon for researchers to observe and experiment. But the combination was strange.
Rats and insects, rabbits and snakes, horn rabbits and big frogs ... laboratory animals are bred to different species that never bred in the wild.
But even more weird was that all the experimental animals were not alive in the usual sense.
This is a crossbreeding experiment with undead animals.
"Is the process going well ... is it mating?"
Luciliano whispered, even though he wasn't such a weird, Ardaist, with a record of experiments that seemed to shout, "It's a blasphemy of life!"
"It's delightful. And one step further, Vandaloo approaches the mystery of life."
That's when he returned to Gufadogan, an evil god who dwelt in the possession that looks like an elven girl. She is as expressionless as the bandalud that she believes in, but surprisingly talkative. His eyes are shining with the light of fanaticism.
"A new material created by Vandaloo, the birth of the next generation by undead transplantation of raw gold ... If this experiment is successful, it will be another name in history."
However, most of the things I talk about are related to Vandaloo.
Anyway, this experiment, which Luciliano recorded, was an undead mating experiment.
Normally, no matter what kind of creature is alive, if it becomes undead, it will not be able to breed and its desire will diminish.
This is not always the case if you are undead with attachment or affection to a specific sex, but the purpose is still to breathe energy, or your sexual desire is directly changed to appetite.
It is only natural that descendants cannot be made as long as they are physically dead, but Vandalou is trying to overcome it.
Transfer the magic metal "raw gold" or "spirit silver" made by changing the gold and silver exposed to the magic of the death attribute to the internal organs of the experimental undead and order "mating".
And this experiment had already achieved some results. They succeeded in breeding in the same or similar undead.
We are now conducting experiments on whether the second generation will be able to grow normally, and on mating between undead, which were heterogeneous.
"But it's a long way to go. The teacher will ultimately want to be able to leave unborn ghosts of astral undead and living armor as well.
The immediate goal is to make it possible to use not only undead but also a combination of undead and living ... It is a problem that living laboratory animals can not mate only by the instruction of the teacher. "
The goal of this experiment is not to create the strongest undead by repeating mating between undead, nor to be able to create a new servant without using a corpse.
The purpose is to allow the undead of Talosheim, such as Volks, Rita, Thalia and Princess Levia, to have children. Therefore, it is natural that the target setting is high.
"Is it possible to solve this problem by capturing bandits outside the border mountains?"
"... I guess, but I'm not reluctant to observe their reproductive activities.
"Now, let's take over that role, for the achievement of Vandaloo."
"I think it's better to quit because it's your appearance ... but by the way, why don't you go to the teacher you love?"
This mating experiment, which is also being conducted in a workshop in Vandalu, under the castle, was isolated by building a wall because it was bad for the emotional education of the young Pauvinas who frequently play.
And now, there is no Vandalu here.
"I am here, according to the words of Vandalu. It seems that a very delicate discussion between parent and child is taking place, and I want you to stay away during that time."
From Gufadogan's words, Luciliano immediately understood who was talking about what outside this room.
"Oh, Zadiris and Basdia?"
It is not intriguing to talk about them, as they should be closely related to the ghoul rank and race. However, if you were there, you would make casual statements and end up ironclaw or something, so it would be better to stop.
"I'll ask the teacher later."
Vandalou, who prepared juice for each child by dividing the juice with carbonated water, sat between the nervous Basdia and Zadiris.
"I couldn't tell my mom until now, but in fact, I'm ranked up in the Trial of Zaccato."
Zadiris smiled with no help to Basdia, who confessed to her in a glance.
"What you couldn't tell me ... is that? Isn't that the name of the race that changed up and changed ..."
"Oh, queen. The Ghoul Amazones queen, that's my new race name. It's also indicated in my status."
Ghoul Amazones Queen.
A queen who leads the rank 10 ghoul amazones, who are almost legendary. Basdia, who was ranked higher, had changed to that race.
"Bass Deer, I'm sure ... I guess she wasn't a princess before she became a queen, didn't she become a ghoul amazones queen after she became a ghoul amazones princess?"
"Yes, from the Ghoul Amazones Chief, it was upgraded to the Ghoul Amazones Queen without going through the Princess."
"Really……"
A mother and daughter with a sad expression and silence for a while. The ice in the glass moved and made a noise.
"I'm sorry, my mother. I'm declining my mother's dream or hope."
"No, I don't mind, Basdia. If you rank up, it will change from a princess to a queen. My thoughts were more shallow."
Zadiris, now a rank 11 Ghoulwizard high princess, was concerned about having a princess in the tribal name, despite having a daughter and grandchildren next year when she was 300 years old.
She is a teenage girl whose appearance has stopped growing because of her racial traits, but she was once the head of one hundred ghouls and a master of magic that is still one of the ghouls who emigrated to Tarosheim. .
I wonder if that is a princess and a princess.
For this reason, consult with Quinn of Gehenna Absolute Queen Bee, whose race name is Queen, and Eisen of Empress, Skoog Claw Empress, and make efforts to raise her rank from Queen to Queen. And asked Vandaloo to change some of the costumes for transforming with the transformation wand.
"Rather, I'm apologizing to me. It sounds like you've taken care of me, but it's Basdia. I'm glad you're upgraded.
And I'm very proud of not just the race name, but the fact that I'm actually a Ghoul representative. ''
"Recently, Basdia has been holding classes and teaching martial arts to Ghouls who have emigrated from Sauron, and I think it's fine."
"Mom, van ... I was just going to do it because I was busy with mom, Vigaro and Tarea."
Zodilis smiled bitterly at Basdia, shyly shouting, and bowed to the two who weren't here.
"Um, I'm really sorry."
Originally, the three elders and Zadiris, who are the main players among the ghouls, should do what they did, but the young Basdia played the role because they were all concerned with themselves.
Vigaro is enthusiastic about martial arts training, and Talea is a craftsman there, so he really wants to make weapons in the workshop and teach people in the same skill group. And Zadiris was crazy about becoming a queen.
Of course, now that they have already joined the country of Tarosheim, the Zadiris have no obligation to govern the Ghouls. Zadiris are court magicians and military officers, but they are not assigned to work, nor are they paid.
But Zadiris thought it would be just the right time, even without considering all that.
"Well, apart from Vigaro, I and Talea are too old. It may be at the tide."
"What !? Evan, mother is [juvenile]!"
"Yes, please lie down now."
"I'm not really old, just thinking it's time for a generation change!"
She stopped again in Basdia and Vandaloo, who were terrified that the aging of Zadiris had rushed, and she spoke again in a timid tone.
"I was rejuvenated because of the boy, but if I had a big face forever, young people would not do anything.
And if I try to do something now, it can't be a magical girl-related briefing or workshop. "
"Most popular among Jadals, the magical girl Zadiris"
The eyes of Zadiris become far from Vandalu's words. Made of liquid metal, the transformation wand that transforms into a costume when the password is shouted, and the impact of using it, was shocking and suddenly spread to Tarosheim's children and young people.
About two, "Magical Girl".
"Mother is not only the focus of Jadals but also of young female sorcerers. It seems important to be transformed and to be stronger."
Even though the world is different, everyone seems to have a desire for transformation. Moreover, the transformation stick made by Vandaloo is a magic item that is not only good in appearance but also functional.
Although it looks like a thin cloth with a flickering appearance, it has various effects, such as exceeding the armor of a normal armor, assisting the use of magic, and raising the ability value.
Perhaps because of the high functionality that can be used in the actual battle, not only young children but also young women were paying attention to "I want to be a magical girl".
However, the transformation stick is just a supplementary item, no matter how sophisticated it is. Therefore, if the wearer is an ordinary person, he or she can only be an ordinary person wearing a magical girl costume and only having high defense.
"I'm a little used to 'magical girl' and I'm not going to change from a princess to another race once or twice. I'm going to go straight for about a decade after thinking. However, if it stands out too much, the name and origin of the magical girl will remain, and you may not be able to escape from the magical girl forever.
That's why I'll ask you for about ten years, my daughter. ''
"I see. It will be much easier than my mother who was heading the village, and let's do it if it's only 10 or 20 years."
Not a long time for a ghoul with a life span of three hundred years.
"But when you're busy, I want you to play against Jadal."
"Um, leave it to me. She's a cute grandson ... but I want you to take care of her transformation outside."
Zadiris is not reluctant to transform even though it is not a battle, but it seems hard to refuse to ask a cute grandson.
"Both of us have a break by saying they've been resolved."
Three people nodding each other and drinking juice. Healthy soda juice made from fruit juice is so popular that specialty food stalls can be made. For "Earth" and "Origin" people, sweetness may not be enough.
Even though carbonated water can be reproduced, cola etc. can not be reproduced because Vandalu and Legions did not know the recipe as expected.
"My Majesty, this is a report after a break. It looks like a letter is coming. "
Recalling the taste of cola in memory, Levia, the first princess of the former Talosheim, who became a fire ghost, appeared. Apparently, he kept his possession of Vandaloo and was timing it.
"Is it a letter?"
Goblin communicators are being handed out to leaders in countries within the Border Mountains, such as the King of the Devil Godwin and the Queen of Donalellis of Zanarpadna.
For this reason, short contents are sent not by letters but by communicators who process the dried goblin necks. There is a limit to the talk time due to the amount of magic that can be put into a communication device, but even if it is complicated, it is often asked to come to Vandalu first.
[Labyrinth creation] By transferring to the nearest dungeon with skill, it is possible to visit on the same day if there is time.
Therefore, communication by letter is rare.
"Is it from another country or from Vida's Bed ?? Original vampires and old demons woke up from petrification?"
"Maybe it's from 'The Violent Storm' where the boy is waiting to be contacted."
It is possible that Basdia said that it was the core of the barrier to protect the inside of the border mountain range from the `` Holy God '' Arda forces An adventure party in the empire, "Storm of Violence".
"Neither of them is from undead people guarding in Sauron. He said he had been contacted by letters from reincarnations. "
"... The pattern of letters coming in was too normal and I was surprised."
There were three adventurers camping in the forest of Sauron territory ruled by Ruder Sauron, the new Duke of Sauron, but almost ruled by the rule of Sauron.
Two elven girls and a dark-skinned racial boy, one with a rather unusual composition, stabbed the flesh of the demon they had dealt with on a skewer and baked over a bonfire to discuss the future.
"I have some cloth instead of paper, so let's keep writing this month. There's no response, but it's important to keep going."
"Kanako, we've cut the other half this month. Maybe you don't say we'll continue until winter, right?"
"Dag, next October is November and it's still autumn."
"November around here is as cold as winter in our senses. Melissa, are you going to continue camping with this equipment and join the undead?"
And the three adventurers were reincarnates who wrote a letter to Vandaloo.
The elf girl who seems to be a leader is Kanako Tsuchiya from [Venus]. The other elf girl is Melissa J. Saotome from [Aigis]. And the boy is Doug Atlas of [Hecaton Kale].
In Origin, they are three-parts who left the reincarnations, Bravers, and in Lambda, they also left their leader, Kuronos, Murakami.
"That's true. There is a limit to how warm it can be with magic, and let's go back to town once before we get cold."
"Well, I can't help it. I want to make it less likely that people in the town will notice what we're doing, but it doesn't make sense to freeze to death.
Make sure you are ready for winter and try again. ''
"Do you still do winter?"
"Of course. I'll keep doing it until he responds."
Doug sighed deeply, as Kanako nodded vigorously.
"... I feel like waiting for rescue by putting a letter from an uninhabited island into an empty bottle."
"I think it's more likely than not that we'll get a reply, although it's not necessarily rescue."
Apart from the group of Murakami and others trying to kill Vandalu at the request of Rodcorte, the purpose of the Kanakos was to get to Talosheim, where Vandalu reigns.
The three of them, who died in the Origin of the dead in the Origin of death-type magical powers, were unlikely to be able to beat Vandaloo.
As such, the most dangerous place in the world is by the side of Murakami, who is aiming to kill Vandalou, as requested by Rodcorte. And the safest place is on the side of Vandaloo.
He thought that choosing to hide away from both of them was dangerous.
Because in Origin, they approached and betrayed, pretending to cooperate with the Eighth Guidance, which worships Vandaloo. Moreover, when Miyazaki Konoe of [Death Size] attacked Vandaloo, he was present at the scene.
It's no wonder if you are already recognized as an enemy.
Hiding yourself may inspire the Bandarurus' vigilance and lead to relentless pursuit.
If so, wouldn't it be more likely to survive if you try to surrender even if you rub your forehead on the ground and lick your feet without hiding behind you?
That is the common recognition of the three.
Also, some thought that if they were not granted asylum, they would not be chased after surrender if they told them they had no hostility.
However, the three were struggling to contact Vandalu, the person they reported to.
"Well, why not throw your letter from the outside of the sign, but not another way?"
"I don't think. I won't go inside the bill."
Immediately rejecting his proposal, Doug frowned, but angryly asked Kanako for an explanation, "Why?"
"When you enter the inside of the bill, the undead will recognize you as an enemy. There seems to be an unidentified neck hunting demon. ''
"Conversely, it was safe to talk unless you acted hostile outside the billboard. Did you forget?"
The Kanakos talked about powerful information flowing among Sauron adventurers since Vandaloo occupied the former Scylla Autonomous Region.
Until now, several groups, including the Duke of Malmo, have crossed the stand built on the border of the former Syura and did not return.
However, anyone who did not step beyond the bill is returning safely.
For this reason, the guild was perceived by the guild as a magical area where only weak monsters would spawn unless they crossed the bill.
The Dougs are just reincarnations. Even though he is acting contrary to Rodcorte's wishes, his cheat abilities can still be used, and blessing and good luck remain.
It has been more than a year since I changed jobs in the adventurer's guild, so my skills are already approaching those of class A adventurers.
If the mysterious headhunter doesn't come out, it's almost as good as an undead opponent at ranks 4 and 5. But Kanako is not afraid of fighting the undead.
"The worst thing is if we killed the undead by mistake. Remember, maybe Vandalu might come to kill us to slay the undead."
What Kanako is most afraid of is what Doug just said. In the general public, everyone will think that there is no enemy of the undead.
No, not even the undead. It's not crazy to think about the possibility that a politician may jump out of the country for the enemy defeat of a guard on the front line.
However, it was impossible for Kanako and others to see Talosheim in a short time. In that city, the undead laughed as if they were living, surrounded the same table, and raised a drinking cup.
In addition, according to the information received from Rodcorte at that time, Vandaloo seemed to talk normally with the undead and to build trust as a companion.
Even in Origin where science and magic exist, undead occurred very rarely. However, with two exceptions, the undead are simply beasts who see all living beings as predators or madmen who indiscriminately grudge.
One of the exceptions is the codename "Undead" who helped those who were treated as the same experimental animals even after they became undead.
The second was members of the Eighth Guidance helped by the Undead, zombie soldiers produced by Isis and commanded by Walkure. At least while under the command of Walkure, the zombie soldiers were not beasts, but rather highly cooperative.
Both of the only two exceptions are associated with the death attribute. Then, in Lambda, undeads related to the death attribute should be considered exceptions, both of their origin. So they were aware.
"Murakami and Asagi didn't seem to notice it."
"That's because I think the undead was crazy before Vandaloo and the guys in The Eighth Guidance. Honestly, I'm still half-doubtful."
Grab a skewer, bite the grilled meat just fine, then continue Doug.
"In some zombie films, some people may say that" Zombies are just humans who get sick, so they can be cured if they are treated, "or" Zombies have human rights. " In other words, Vandaloo looks like those guys.
If Vandalu is manipulating the undead, he may be able to behave as if he were personal. It's the same doll play that Walkure did. ''
Melissa and Kanako stare at Doug, who talks to a meat skewer with one hand.
"Dag, isn't he smarter than his last life?"
"Is this world's food rich in nutrients that can help your head?"
"... I understand what you think of me."
"No, it was a very interesting opinion."
"It's hard to say that doll play! Really!
Kanako and his colleagues were stiffened by a voice uttered from close by. At some point, I noticed that two people were standing near ourselves, at the last minute of the bonfire.
Both are known people in a sense, but they also meet for the first time.
"That's right, you got the letter. Well, is it OK after a long time?"
"Yes. It's been a long time, Kanako Tsuchiya. Except when I destroyed [Death Size], it's been 10 years? Or, if I wasn't there when I killed my previous life, it would be about 30 years?"
"It's been a year and a few months with us! Well, it's been a long time for some people!
"I'm glad to see you again.
Kanako, who had recovered from the shock, managed to talk and replied as if she were in a small talk.
"I'm going to introduce myself again, but I'm Vandaloo. The cloak on this black hood is Legion, which was" Eighth Guidance. "
You are Kanako from [Venus] and Melissa from [Aigis]. He is Doug from [Hecaton Kale], right? "
After seeing a letter written by Kanako who moved to the former Scylla Autonomous Region, Vandaloo decided to meet with them and listen to them.
Of course, he thought that the letter could be a trap. Familiar Remlus finds Kanako's bonfire and prepares before talking.
"By the way, this place has already been told to my peers. Weird movements can flood hundreds of undead here."
"Well, I'm so cautious. By the way, what's that ... Legion-san? I hear voices like Walkure and Isis?"
"I care for you. The current shape is very exciting. '
After the Legion changed its size and shape with [Change Shape] and [Change Size] skills, hiding in the hood and cloak was due to pure care not to surprise the Kanakos. .
I'm just going to listen to the story, but I'm in trouble if I suddenly panic.
"So, you're hoping for asylum ... what do you mean?"
Vandalu asked his former classmate, Kanako, who had changed completely except his age when he was on Earth. She wasn't particularly close, but she was a leader among the three, and the other two were the same incarnates and had no contacts since Earth.
But her inside should have changed a lot since she was a classmate in Earth.
"I saw that when [Death Size] was set up, they were struggling and putting out their batten with their arms folded."
That gesture was pretty comical, but probably changed.
"Oh, you noticed me! It was nice. Actually, we've cut the edge between us and that group."
On the other hand, Kanako who speaks so enthusiastically felt sweating completely inside, realizing that Vandaloo was a completely different person from when he was Hiroto Amamiya in Earth.
As you can see only by meeting and exchanging words in this way, the existence itself has changed more than at that time.
(Once we went through the military training and came down to the shambles, we didn't notice the approach because it was death attributed magic ... I don't feel like we could win without it.)
Kanako and others also wear military-style martial arts. Looking through their eyes, the atmosphere of Vandaloo was strange.
I'm just standing, but scary. They look younger than they are now ... they are young, but they don't feel immature at all.
(Probably, my stats and skills are much higher than we. Not only fighting, but in various ways. Well, it is natural because I'm a senior in this world ... )
After all, they should not be hostile. Doug and Melissa, reminiscent of Kanako and beside Vandalu and Legion, renewed their thoughts.
And Kanako gives a brief explanation of just how they died after the Eighth Guidance was annihilated. Some things, such as [Avalon] 's Rokudo Holy, who pulled the string behind the scenes, were silent in order to be a trump card when negotiations were difficult.
"Fan. If I was able to crush some of those who tried to study death attributes without discipline, it would be no harm to collect my death. It's a shame to be like indiscriminate terrorism, but that's not our intention. ''
"Yes, that's what we thought, I don't want to die anymore, so I don't want to be your enemy!"
"Aside from Kanako and Melissa, thinking about it until Doug feels strange. You were a fighter, right?
"... Is that voice a shade? Sure I like fighting, but it's not a fight anymore, it's like a disaster, just like a hurricane or earthquake.
And fighting is what we do to win. I'm not stupid enough to try to fight without a win. ''
Legions actively talked to Kanako and others. To make sure they are not lying.
Legion knew them well because he had been with Kanako for several years. They knew each other that they would become enemies in the future, so they watched them.
It was the same with the Kanakos, but they seemed somewhat embarrassed by the disguised Legions.
It seems that he did not mind hearing multiple voices, but his tone and attitude did not include anger or grudge.
However, Kanako and others were hesitant to confirm the translation.
"I see. I understand your story."
And while hesitating, Vandaloo changed the topic.
"In other words, isn't it related to those three still hiding?"
"Huh ?? Is there anyone !?"
Looking back at the surprised Kanakos, they couldn't see anything, but as soon as they imagined, a trio of the same age as themselves appeared from the shadow of the tree.
"I was going to go out after seeing time. It's been a long time, Tengu."
One of the trio ... Asagi Minami of [Mage Smasher] smiled bitterly.

Racial commentary: Ghoul Amazones Queen by Luciliano
Legend has it that the queen of the Ghoul Amazones, a group of women-only ghouls. Of course, there is no sighting information in human society that you actually saw it. Even in the Ghoul country within the border mountains, it seems that there are some people up to Ghoul Amazones, but queens have not been confirmed.
Although the external characteristics do not seem to be much different from Ghoul Amazones, Jeronimo, Chief etc. ... But maybe, the only individual now, Basdia, is originally 910 cm tall and has a large body, so when ranking up It may just have not changed.
Although Basdia's personality is not awakened by his high-level skills, he is still in the class A adventurer category, and when combined with the performance of the demon king's shards of equipment, he would be as good as a class A adventurer.
Although the range of effect is narrow only for ghoul women, it has acquired [Reinforcement of kin] skills and is promising as a commander in the future.
By the way, the job of [Demon Ax Blade], which she has now, is undiscovered in human society, but is known in demon country. It is said that it is a job that a woman who possesses the protection of Gareth, a guardian god of warrior or demon country "Warrior god", and who has acquired a high level of [axing] skill can take on.
Vida's new race, Kifujin, seems to be noble and absent from its elasticity.
