The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 199: Both are in hard mode

The home of Brave's leader Amamiya and his wife is located in a luxury residential area. Naturally, security is good, with surveillance cameras and the latest golem security systems (close to Earth's drones).

It is not unusual for each house to employ permanent security guards ... military experienced personnel, and it is said that only those who want to enter a prison or a coffin will try to rob a thief or robber in this upscale residential area. I was

Bander was moving backwards in the streets of such a residential area in the daytime. Normally, he has no substance, and slides on the ground without sound. As if being pulled by someone.

(This is a country in Japan that is equivalent to Japan in the "Earth" ... It should be a fantasy world where magic exists, but it can only be seen in the near future science fiction movie world)

Looking at a security golem equipped with a camera on the head or a golem truck equipped with an automatic driving system that came to deliver luggage, I feel like that. If you replace the golem with a robot, it's really science fiction. It's a hybrid of magic and science because it actually uses machines.

I guess it would be a good idea to use a robot, but unfortunately, the word "robot" is not commonly used in this "Origin". Origin robot is a term used to mean a rare golem without magic.

(To the extent that magic exists, civilization may be more advanced than Earth.

Aside from that and that difference due to such a difference in the world ... my main body seems to be you now)

It was a bander who seemed to move backward without moving his feet (actually, he couldn't see it except the shadow), but he wasn't actually moving on his own.

The baby stroller, about fifty meters behind him, is being pulled backwards by his mother, Narumi Amamiya, pushing it.

Since Narumi doesn't seem to remember any resistance, Bander tried step-by-step, but it was impossible to stop there even with all his might. Probably, there is no point in trying to [substantialize] and stick a claw on the ground and suck it with a sucker.

"Now, we've finished verifying that I'm reflected on the distance and the magic sensor on the golem, and then ..."

Bander opened his mouth wide with its ends up to his ears and extended his tongue. Continue to extend the two antennae that are usually hidden in the hair.

Confirm that each has extended to more than 10 meters.

Then, at first glance, it opens a flying film slightly like a coat, and fires an air gun using [Maou's Lung], [Maou's Mouth], and [Maou's Horn].

The launched horn flew farther away. Of course, it's an intangible spiritual bullet that won't hit anything.

"I can only stay up to fifty meters away from you, but it is possible to further extend the tongue and antennae and fire the part that was cut off. It seems that you can do the same thing with magic in this amount.

Then ... let's go back

Bander turns and returns to Me-kun and another himself, fifty meters away. The speed is terribly fast, and it seems to catch up with the running car.

"What's going on at this speed? Is the ability value of the main unit adopted as it is? Right now, Me-kun, another me

"Banda!"

"Return, another me. Well, let's go back. "

It seemed to be fun in the stroller, but when the bander, who had been split up due to his spiritual existence, returned to himself, he was shut down.

"Abu ... Banda ..."

"Me-kun, it's not just one person, he just came back, right?"

"Wife, do you understand what" Mr. Buddy "sometimes says from this morning?"

"I don't know that. I think it's probably a panda ..."

She is now heading to the park, being taken by Narumi Amamiya and her helper and babysitter woman. By the way, the eldest son, Hiroshi, goes to his friend's house.

"Uh ~"

"Me-kun, outside and this person ... I can't hold her while my mother is there. I will surprise you. ''

Bander was uncomfortable feeling to call Narumi Amamiya, but she was struggling because she didn't want to show her parents in front of the shadow.

You have to blow it out quickly, but you can't do it if you haven't been in the sun for a day yet.

"Then, you might be seeing a panda in Hades. It seemed like a dog was seen before."

"Yes, kids say they can see different landscapes than adults, and Had has always said so."

However, it seems that Narumi and the babysitter's questions have been resolved. It is thankful to Bander that he did not suffer seriously.

Meanwhile, we arrived at the park. As expected, playground equipment such as slides and jungle gyms do not seem to change in "Earth" or "Origin".

The one-year-old has never played with these toys yet. Most of the time, Narumi and babysitter women take a nap in a stroller while talking with mom friends and babysitters who have been in the park to exchange information about raising children.

"Our child is so bad that he has no body."

"Yeah, boys are tough, but if you win, I'm crazy about games ..."

"Speaking of that, I heard that recent games can't be played without going out-"

"It's peace. After all, because I'm not the main body of the Vandalu, the effect of [Invitation to the Hades] is suppressed, or there is not much spirit coming in. "

"Wow!"

"Me-kun, that was a one-of-a-kind existence. It's especially bad atmosphere, so it's dangerous if you call out. "

Speaking, Bander looked at Narumi's face and casually plunged her arm into one of the housewives talking to her.

"Well?… ... weird, are you tired?"

He moves his arm into the housewife's body, groaning a little, groaning, exploring its contents.

"Because it's already a whole body ghost, there's nothing wrong ... Next ... I have nerve inflammation and medicine. Next ... It's a serious stiff shoulder. I will take care of it because I understand it

One after another, the arm is inserted into the housewife's body, and a psychic examination is performed. And after inserting the tongue into their bodies in the same way as the arms, only a very small part is materialized. We secrete appropriate drug components to the affected area and provide simple treatment.

After that, Bander groans shortly, suddenly improves his waist, and watches Narumi, who is confused by his mom friends who are stuttering with "shoulders".

"Are you all right?"

Apparently, Narumi is not aware of Bander's actions.

"If you do not use magic, do you notice this distance? Then, for a while, if you act around skills and the power of shards, you will be fine. ''

A parasitoid witch who hijacks another person's body using [Devil's Vice Brain] and [Devil's Nervous] has great restrictions on skill use, but Bander was created using fragments of the soul of the main body of Vandalu Existence.

Therefore, if you use [Incarnate] skill, you will be able to use most skills.

"I don't know if you can use unique skills. But brainwashing others and eating souls just to try it out is overkill. ''

"Banda-ma-ma-butsu-?"

"What's wrong with your mom, Mud?"

"I don't stick my arms or tongue unless I need urgent treatment. You may notice it! "

An incident occurred when such a conversation was over Narumi. He was a dog with a bad atmosphere. The dog spirit suddenly jumped up and bitten a child playing in the jungle gym.

"Guru Puru Pup!

No matter how safe and upscale residential area is, it is not possible to crack down on spiritual beings. However, it is long before a full-fledged evil spirit, a ghost, appears before the living and can curse, materialize, and bite.

It will not hurt if bitten. All you have to do is slip in your feet, and you'll just have some unfortunate misfortune.

"Wow !?"

However, the bitten child was on the way to climb the jungle gym at an improper timing, so he could slip and fall. In addition, he immediately lost his position trying to grab the jungle gym.

"Wow!"

And fell. With the back of the head down.

Since it took only a few seconds in time, of course, the parents and Narumi of the child could not keep up. But the jungle gym is not that expensive. Even if a light weight child falls from there and hits the back of the head, it may be surprisingly easy to get a bump.

"Gyuin! ?

"Huh ?? ...?"

"But if you're bad, you'll die."

A few seconds later, Bander, in time to kick the dog's spirit away in time, muttered with his hand wrapped in hair, which increased soft fat and absorbed shock, between his child's back and the ground.

At the moment of the fall, only his hand was made to materialize.

The mother of the child who noticed the accident ran up. She lifts up a confused child who feels painless and soft on the back of the head and checks for any injuries.

"Banda!"

And then, the underworld welcomes the bander who came back in turn.

"It looks good. I'm glad I didn't get hurt."

"Yes, really"

Watching Narumi and others feel relieved that the child is unlikely to be injured, Bander muttered.

"It seems that if you only operate the fragments, Narumi Amamiya will not be able to detect it."

The first priority for banders is the shadow. In addition, besides the shadows, I also think that I must hide my existence as much as possible. It's not about protecting the lives of others or even justice.

But that doesn't mean that nobody except Medo will help and abandon it without doing anything.

"I don't like the idea that powerful people have responsibility. I don't intend to teach me. But it's an educational matter to keep showing me who doesn't do it when it's easy to help others. It may be a major obstacle to the development of the social morals and emotions she needs to acquire and the ability to sympathize with others. '

You don't have to be a friendly philanthropist, but hopefully you will want to be a bright and caring girl.

…… Sometimes it's because Bander, who has the same personality as Vandaloo, resists abandoning it.

"In addition, my existence will be exposed in a few years with a fairly high probability."

The sighing bander looks at the incarnate mother, Narumi Amamiya, a transmigrant with the ability to connect with others mentally and share memories and senses.

If you use her powers heard from Kanako and others, the existence of Bander will be easy.

Narumi wouldn't use her power in a meaningless way, but would use it if she questioned the existence of a mysterious friend that only her daughter could see.

Sometimes it doesn't, but people around you should notice the peculiarities of this time.

"Bow-wow?"

"Okay, bad Wan Wan escaped somewhere if I threatened"

She has the attributes of the death attribute and can see spiritual beings.

Possibly due to the fact that Pluto's power was received as a fetus, Hades has the attribute of death attribute that there should be no other in Origin. Bander doesn't know why, but the fact is true.

I don't know how much it is. Is it possible to use only one magic like a special ability like Plutos, or can I acquire and use multiple magic by acquiring [Enchanting Death Attribute] like Vandaloo?

But if it turns out, the world will pay attention to her. As long as she is the daughter of Hiroto Amamiya of [Braver] and Narumi of [Angel], she will not be caught suddenly ... There will be nothing.

The resulting troubles will again reveal the existence of banders.

"I ... I'm not resentful, but this situation is hard too."

"Banda!"

"By the way, isn't it better to call Me-chan instead of Me-kun?

"Uh ... uhhhh"

"What's the matter, Nami? I was about to cry suddenly ... I'm hungry? Sleepy?"

"Okay, I'll call you Momme-kun. Hey, it's the antenna! ''

The angels of Rhodocorte, Aran Machida, Izumi Shimada, and Koya Endo, who had been an angel for several years, were able to perform some maintenance of the reincarnation system.

It is impossible to make serious adjustments, but it can resolve errors that occur. That's about it.

"I've calmed down."

"What if an error occurs in the" origin "? ... Did the undead mass occur?

Thanks to that, I was able to perform maintenance of the reincarnation system that suddenly caused an error.

"If there is a mass of undead, it's important, but that's not the case. Even if you look at the records of Rokudo, you can't see the death attribute experiment. "

"So what happened? There is no Vandaloo in Origin

The cause of serious errors and bugs in the reincarnation system is Vandaloo. Not only Rodcorte, but Izumi and others also had such recognition.

Rodcorte's system is inherently sophisticated, and if you maintain it regularly, there will be no errors or bugs other than Vandaloo.

"Yes, how many people fly from one world to another ... Look, look at Joseph's record. "

"What was wrong? I think it's a big thing that insomnia and hallucinations suddenly turned to a good way.

"No, it's a dream. Look at the dream record!

"dream?

The records of people viewed through Rhodocorte's reincarnation system include records of individual dreams. However, it is a record of unstable and unreasonable dreams, and I rarely saw Izumi and Rhodecorte.

However, Izumi and Koya, who saw the record after being told by Aran, went crazy and stiffened.

Only then was Joseph's dream record very clear, and there were countless human bodies and giant figures composed of fragments of the Demon King, which could be discerned in detail.

"What is this ...? What do you say for your figure ... "

"You seem to care very much about Joseph. Is this shrill cry ... a word?

Having managed to resume thinking, the two sought to analyze for the odd-shaped giant. Not just Joseph had a terrible nightmare. The giant's presence is extraordinary.

Nobody immediately realized that it was Vanderlu. Until then, Lodcorte had only seen the records while humans were awake, and had hardly ever recorded any dreams.

However, as the reasoning was repeated, he became more convinced that there was no other than him.

"... probably Vandaluo. I also looked at the records of the victims used in the six-way experiment, and they have the same night and the same dream as Joseph. [Metamol]

"Is this a Vandalu? Before reincarnating as Lambda, I heard that it was a human figure except for wearing the magic of death, but ... wait, the error up to that time was led by the souls of Josephs What?

It was surprising that the same thing happened in Origin as Lambda, but Konya replied, "No, not yet."

'If the Josephs were led, we would no longer be able to see his record. So it is not yet. Maybe you need multiple contacts like Kanako.

So if the same thing doesn't happen the next time, Josephs will stay in the Rhodocorte reincarnation system. '

"Next, do you?"

The next will definitely happen. So Konya and Aran were convinced. Once it appeared in the dreams of humans in a different world, it was clear that Vandaloo was likely to be in the dreams of Joseph and the Truths again, as long as no one was able to obstruct it.

Aran laughed masochistically, knowing that he could do nothing, and that Joseph and the truth could be more happy, especially for the truth.

I wonder if they will come to dream every night.

"Well, why did the error happen? If the Josephs were just affected and not yet guided, there should be no errors. ''

However, such a smile blew away upon hearing the words of Izumi.

"That's true. Maybe someone led you? '

"I'm not a reincarnate. Everyone has been able to see the record. Are you a Pluto fan?

"Rodocorte didn't even pay attention, so I don't know how much. I'll confirm. "

Although the sub-rans looked up using the system, the records of all those who worship the Pluto's "Eighth Guidance" could be seen.

Then who was led? The Arans, who lost their clues, reviewed the records of Joseph's dreams again.

Then I came to the dream of [Metamol] Shiriin Mari.

"Perhaps Vandalu is talking to someone? This black something ”

"Is this a child? Child ... maybe ?!

Aran tries to access a record that seems to be in a hurry ... and realizes that it is no longer possible.

"Koya, Izumi, I know who led me. Amamiya and Naruse, two daughters

"Over there. … Sure, the record is gone ”

"No way, she was no check."

Among the people living in Origin, Konya and Izumi often saw the same incarnates as theirs, the people around them, and the worship of the Eighth Guidance It is a record of the people. Had was a totally no check.

As well as being a child of Hiroto Amamiya and Narumi, he is still a year old. Rather than looking at her own records, it was easier to get information from her parents, the Amamiyas and their babysitters.

"I'm not always doing it intentionally, but ... what do you do? Rodocorte's bastard should not have noticed. '

"Because we are talking. … Aran, do you think Rodcorte notices after returning?

"No, you won't notice unless we say. The error has been corrected, and it is the daughter, not the reincarnate, that led me. Out of his interest '

Reincarnate abilities are soul-derived. Therefore it is not inherited by blood.

Physical traits are usually inherited, and in Origin, it is common to say that the suitability of attributes does not overlap with that of parents, but that magical traits are affected by heredity.

But physical abilities and magical abilities are not important to Rhodocorte, and that god emphasizes their abilities.

In fact, in Origin and Lambda, physical abilities and magical skills and qualities are not the only ones who are better than reincarnated. Good examples are Schneider from Jinrai and Randolph from True.

So they may inherit excellent qualities from their parents, but Rhodocorte is indifferent to Amamiya's children and Hiro.

"... Let's keep silent. After he's back, if we take a closer look at our records, we'll see

"I don't have such time anyway. Maybe you won't notice until Joseph is led. '

Rodcorte will now provide the reincarnate to the Ardas as a force against Vandaluo. For that purpose, a mechanism should be put in place to tell the reincarnate what to say.

Remember the rebellious reincarnated person-a convenient state in which they can only remember themselves but use their martial arts and abilities-and reincarnate to the temple of Arda. The reincarnated person reincarnated with the adult body is imprinted as a convenient hero while being lifted by the Ardaist clergy, saying, "Oh, the hero who is often visited!"

To make such means practical.

Rhodocorte alone could not do the dexterity of erasing memories, leaving only experience and skills. But it is possible if the gods of the Ardas cooperate.

If reincarnated people continue to belong to the Rhodocorte reincarnation system.

"But it would be helpful if everyone could lead me ... but it's shameless to say anything."

"Because we killed him. Amemiya will certainly not be guided, let alone Rokudo ... "

"In any case, let's concentrate on deepening our understanding of the system. If we pay close attention to Amemiya Mei, we may notice it. ''

While Bander was treating her under the antenna in Origin, Lambda's Vandaloo was taking a room at Starling's Inn, as recommended by Kest, a young beast race guard.

The Starling's Inn is a hotel mainly used by novice adventurers, newcomers, and immature bards. The selling price is that of a backstreet rent, you can stay in a reasonably clean room and have a glass of water and hard bread for breakfast.

And ten baums per night in a large room.

That's the same amount as the bribe given to Aggar, the corruption guard.

"Why, I feel so bad."

"... Is it going to be fertilizer?"

"I was sorry, I didn't hurt at all."

While responding to the voice of the crampons heard in his ears, Vandalou puts on his luggage, shaped to look like it.

This is a large room where several guests sleep with small fish, but there is only Bandarlu because it is still daytime. …… No, a bard-like man is sleeping together with a case with instruments.

"How much was recommended, didn't you have to stay at a cheap hotel as you said? If this large room is a small room with the name I spread my legs, it will be full alone

"Oh, Olbia's legs are long and there are eight ... but the ceiling is certainly low."

Olbia and Princess Levia, ghosts from Scylla and Giants, give their impressions.

"Of course not because I was recommended. I just took the room just in case, so that I couldn't be mistaken for a vagrant."

And the only hotel where poorly dressed children like Vandalu could stay without being suspicious was the cheapest hotel.

"It's a temporary base until you're ready to register for a commercial guild and rent a house."

Vandalou enters the town of Moxy to be inconspicuous, but does not intend to remain inconspicuous.

Prepare to start the business required to register for a commercial guild, complete the temporary registration, and buy a house in a real estate agent's ragged hut.

They also sell skewers at stalls for three months.

If you are hired by an existing firm and work, you will not be able to work freely, and if you are in a cheap hotel, you will enjoy casual conversation with Olbia and it is difficult to meet Miles and Eleonora.

And when the Murakamis set up in town, they bother the inn.

Of course, credit problems caused by weak social positions are silenced by information from Miles and money. There are men who are likely to give up the stalls if they have enough money, and real estate agents who sell homes.

But when those things are done by Vandalu, who shouldn't have any children, they'll stand out.

So after entering the town, I thought it would be inevitable to stand out to some extent.

"If things go well, you'll only be able to stay today. In three months, you'll have a status in human society, or Murakami and Birkine's neck, or all."

"I see ... So, are you going to buy a stall immediately? Or do you go back to Tarosheim and change jobs?"

Just after entering the town of Moxy, Vandaloo had reached the 100th level of Spiritual. Probably due to the experience gained by the Talosheim Families.

"I'd like to do a job change in a commercial guild. But before that, I'll try to see what's going on in another world and see if I can communicate."

Already we've talked to Gufadogans about what happened in our dreams. So I made my alter ego and even broke up.

For Vandalu, it was a casual reason to say, "I may be parting here and I'm lonely." But it seems that Gaffadogan, the Labyrinth's Deity, was out of tune.

"Well, you should check immediately. Because you separated your soul."

Yes, Vandalu split his soul to make the alter ego. They did something that only the gods could do with common sense.

But there was no change in the condition of Vandaloo. Gufadogan and his colleagues guess that since the soul of the four heroes who were shattered apart was forcibly united by Rodcorte, it was fine to split the soul somewhat. .

"Well, I've confirmed that the maximum magical power has been reduced by about 100 million in the stats. I hope it's going to the other side at least."

[Increased power] Vandalou closed his eyes as if to meditate, lamenting that the power was reduced by 150 million including the skill.

"Thank you for your body."

And concentrate your consciousness.

However, no matter how much he thought or called, Vandaloo couldn't see what he would have been in Origin.

However, he noticed that his physical sensations were getting thinner, and when he noticed, Vandaloo stood in a familiar mountain area.

"... This is not the Origin. Former Syura Autonomous Region in this world."

There may be similar places in Origin. However, there was no mistake. Certainly at that time ... This is where Iris, the Liberation Princess Knight, was fatally wounded and killed Elvin, the Five-Headed Snake.

Vandalou thought that he had entered the memory of the past too much to concentrate his spirit, but realized that it was not so.

Because there was a different scene around him.

“……”

Sword King Volks, carrying a huge black sword on his shoulder, and Slager, who hadn't yet been undead at the time, slapping the neck seam.

Beyond that, Iris, who had been fatally injured at the time of the arrival of Vandalu, stands intact with resistance warriors and ghouls. In the ghoul there are Vigaro, Zadiris and Basdia, which were not there at the time.

In addition, Knights of the Dark Night, Eleonora, Belmond, and Miles, composed of Ira and the Vampire Undead. Finally, the legion was floating.

Everyone doesn't even say a word.

"It's like ... there's no spirits around, everyone is a little bigger, some equipment is old, Iris looks like a race, and obviously the atmosphere is different ... Is it more than a centimeter? "

Vandaloo was confused by everyone being unresponsive to him and by the lack of a spiritual figure that was usually full, but suddenly realized that he was shrinking.

"It's back before the growth period ... everyone was just around that time, or even a bit older, so I had a dream a while ago that it would be similar."

At that time, as the empty space of the mountain path shook, a passage appeared.

At the same time, Volks holds his sword, Slager jumps and disappears, Ira, Eleonora, Belmond, Miles, and Legion begin to move, Iris and the Resistance, and the Ghouls fly.

Then, in the passage that appeared, five figures that radiated faint light appeared. The swordsman shouts.

"[One hundred million cuts!]"

The swordsman …… Heins released a tremendous series of slashes, cutting down on Iris and the Resistance without any means.

Jennifer, a female fist who flew out instead of Heinz, Deliza, a shield, and Edgar, a spy, flew to Vigaro, who was still safe.

"Is this an organization anyway! That neck hunting demon may be there, don't be alert, Edgar!"

"That's more than that! Diana stays with me!"

"I'm glad this guy was using [Descent] in the aisle. Leave the headhunter, Heinz, it's good to check but don't be hesitant and hesitant!"

As they say, they kick the ghouls. Vigaro, much weaker than the real one, is crushed by Deliza's Mace, Basdia is shattered by Jennifer's fist, and Zadiris has no time to cast a spell, and Edgar's throat falls down.

"……I know it"

Heinz, who responded with a painful face to Edgar, slashed the Resistance's survival.

Looking at it, Vandaloo picked up Iris's neck as he rolled down.

It has no horns and white skin.

"... It's a real fake."

Yes, the head of Iris, who dries blood from this cut surface and is still warm to the touch, is a fake.

Because when they were killed by Heinz, they did not respond to [danger detection: death]. Above all, I don't feel any connection between [guidance] or mysterious blessing.

And even now, there is no soul figure.

In other words, this is an elaborate fake with no soul and no life.

Same as Goubamon and Tenesia that I dreamed of someday ...

"I was late to notice, but this is a test that Heinz is receiving. So why is I mixed in with the test, it's a mystery, but some of the gods who have this test, ...... I don't feel uncomfortable. "

<< [Abyss] Skill level has increased!
