The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Rock, one of the adventurers based in the town of Morksey, was still on the hunt for the same D-class adventure party, the Rock Rock Company, that day.

For the rocks, this magical area has been used since the adventure school days and is a familiar hunting ground.

"Okay, today I'll go back after some monsters are killed."

"Yes, I'd like to sell materials in the evening if possible."

Friends agree. The purchase price of the adventurer's guild's material basically remains the same at any time. However, it is clear that guild officials will be better served if meat is brought in before the time when wholesalers are concentrated.

"As a guild with debt, you have to appeal that you're making good money."

"No way, I'm not lucky that my father would be seriously injured right after renewing his weapon. Rock, why wouldn't you go crazy to hear a beautiful dark elf talk at the communal temple next time?"

Locke frowned upon his fellow words.

"Hey, did you say my father's injury was punishable because I'm ungodly? You know I pray thank God every time I hunt monsters."

"Pray for more than [God of Soldiers] or [God of Thunderclouds] And rumors say that the dark elf is a really pretty woman."

"I don't like it. If you have such time, it would be more meaningful to hunt solo and goblin."

Wooooooooooon-

"Did you hear?"

"Oh, this is near ... over there!"

The rocks were chatting in the middle of the battle, tightening their faces with a howling heard from a place they were not far from, carrying their luggage and rushing to that place.

There was a spectacle that they expected.

A dog with a gray fur larger than a wolf. The mouth was dirty with bright red blood. And a boy who rolls on his back while lying on his back, his neck is dirty with blood.

The hollow eyes just reflect the rocks.

"Is it a magic dog? ... Is it too late?"

Demon dogs are rank 2 monsters that have become monsters with contaminated magic. Physical abilities are the same or slightly stronger than wolves, and have no special abilities. For this reason, it is a monster that can be defeated even by newcomers who have just become accustomed to battle.

And the dogs are less likely to get lost in the Makai, so the numbers themselves are not many.

But a demon dog is more brutal than a normal dog, of course, a wolf, and is not scared at all even if it is slightly hurt. New adventurers who are careless every year are killed.

And the magic dog that kills the person howls victory and joy. The rocks thought they were the roar they heard earlier, but rushed in, but ...

"What does the adventurer guild teach you to allow a child to hunt alone?"

"Don't say. Whether you're a newcomer or a child, everything is at your own risk as you become an adventurer.

Locke held up his sword and shield, even as he told his intense fellow. On the other hand, the demon dog groans low.

"But I have to take my enemy.

"Oh, sorry, don't be too fast. Are you making a mistake?"

"This is also the adventurer's fate ... the corpse spoke !?"

"I'm alive. I'm not a corpse. I'm just playing with my followers."

Vandalu looked up at the rocks, who were surprised and fell down, lying on his back.

In a few hunts, Fang succeeded in hunting for a Giga bird without the help of the Bandaroos ... a rank 2 monster whose fangs and claws turned into monsters.

He praised it and roared so much that he defeated Vandaloo and licked his face and neck with his tongue, which was still dirty with the blood of Giga birds.

The rocks who misunderstood there rushed.

After talking about such circumstances, the rocks looked like they were pinched by a fox, but they agreed.

In fact, Vandalu is alive and invisible to the rocks, hidden by fangs and trees, but there are also wagons with corpses of giga birds and hunted monsters.

And late, Fang wore a collar he sold at the Tamar Guild for followers.

It doesn't seem strange, but there's nothing that the rocks are suspicious about.

"It was a misunderstanding, but if you had a prominent tamer like you in the adventurer's guild, it would soon be rumored, but I've never heard of it."

Tamar adventurers are rare. There are differences in ferocity between races, but they are much less than warriors because they basically use monsters that are human enemies.

At least, if you're a Tamer who's at least as prominent in appearance as Vandalu, and who's just a little over ten years old, it's unnatural to be rumored to be a promising future stock. I thought.

(Even if you talk face-to-face like this, you don't feel the presence so strangely ... Isn't it rumored because there is no presence?)

Vandalou answered Rock, who was thinking about such a rude thing.

"I'm not an adventurer. I'm tentatively registering with a commercial guild, and I'm a member of the Tamar guild."

"Aren't you an adventurer? And a Tamer Guild associate union member ... did this dog take on today?"

"No, this Fang is a slum stray dog. When I came to Makai today, it turned into a witch dog."

The rocks were surprised and angry at Vandaluu's explanation, not telling a lie, but keeping the essentials down.

"Is it just a monster !? That's ... great"

To be honest, it's hard to believe. However, Locke had no knowledge to reject the claim that Fang, who was just a dog, turned into a monster as soon as he entered the magical area, as close as possible to Vandaloo's lies.

It is not only rock adventurers, but everyone living in this world knows that animals such as chickens, rabbits, and dogs are contaminated by filthy magic and transformed into monsters.

But few have seen that moment directly. The dirty magic is not visible, and no one knows how much pollution an animal can withstand.

Sorcerers and alchemists have tried to elucidate from ancient times, but their research ends with the vague description of "depending on the individual differences of animals and the density and attributes of filthy magical powers".

So there is no denying that the dog brought into the Makai becomes a monster that day.

… By the way, there is no law to punish the owner even if the breeding animal accidentally becomes a monster. They are only liable for the demonized animals killing others and destroying their property.

"Well, it might have been contaminated while eating some slums of goblin and Kobold ear snips, so it's likely that you entered the magical universe today and reached its limits and mutated.

Then go? "

"Yes, it was bad to hear a lot. Devil dogs are not weak monsters in rank 2, but sometimes there are rank 3 monsters and swarms of goblins and Kobolts around here. I'm sorry. "

The rocks, who are not adventurers and seem to have interpreted Vandaloo's hunting method, which does not seem to be armed from the outside, as relying on the Fang, advised so, leaving themselves to continue the hunt. I went.

"... The good people helped me out, so we'll go home soon."

"won!"

"Would you like to pull a cart? If you do, it will increase the likelihood of being" tamed monster "when viewed from the side, and reduce the possibility of misunderstanding.

please wait for a while"

Bandarou quickly made a string and a dog to connect the fang and the cart with the thread spewed from [Thread Refining].

Returning to the gate of the town of Moxy, I was very surprised by the fact that the wagon pulling a wagon was turned into a demon dog and the guard Kest, who saw the dismantled monster on board.

"Well, I suppose it was the meat you bought ..."

"Yeah, I also picked herbs."

In addition to the monsters, the cart also had herbs used for skewered sauce. …… Accurately, after entering the Makai, Vandalou simply puts herbs grown from the body on the cart by the job effect of [Archives] and insists that it was “collected at the Makai”.

Now if someone tries to find the source of the herb used by Vandalu, it will meaninglessly search for that magical area instead of around Vandalu.

"Um ... in such a case, are you good, senior?"

Can minors who are not adventurers enter the magical area and hunt and bring their prey? When asked by Kest, the senior guard answered with his forehead held by hand.

"No problem. There is no separate punishment law ..."

The evil area where dangerous monsters are rampant is naturally a dangerous zone. It is not a good place for minors as well as civilians without combat abilities.

However, there was no law in the Orbaum election that prohibited ordinary people from entering the Makai.

It goes without saying that the law does not prohibit, and ordinary people do not usually enter the magical zone.

However, the Makai may appear new or spread at some point. And, when viewed from the outside, the magical borders that are not different from ordinary grasslands and lakes are not uncommon.

Therefore, punishing the villagers who have turned into magical sites with the villages where the nearby forests and mountains lived, as well as travelers and victims who accidentally get lost is a terrible story, so if you are punished by law, Not in.

"If you just bring in the products you have hunted at the Makai, there is no tax. But if it is normal, you will be preached for a while."

"Yes, I'm sorry for saying something that misleads you to pick herbs instead of hunting."

The senior guard sighed to Vandalu, who bowed straight down and said, "Let's go through."

"I missed it this time because I was with the dog, so be sure to take it with you when you go to the Makai.

Later, I'll go to the Tamer Guild early and replace the associate membership card with the regular membership card. ''

"Yes, thank you"

"won!"

Waved small at the relieved Kest, Vandalou rushed home, completed his preparations, and registered as a regular member with the Fang in the Tamer Guild, who had just registered as a associate member in the morning. It was fixed.

Guild Master Bachem was enthusiastically told that "You have the talent of a Tamer!", But managed to leave, "Because it's time to open the store," Vandaloo opened the store just as it did yesterday. was.

"You've been busy today. Will you go hunting at the Makai every day from tomorrow?"

Darcia, who had been told by the Chiplas that Vandaloo was going to the magical area, spoke to Vandaloo, who is grilling meat.

"Yes, I'm going to hunt tomorrow, because today was so short that I don't have much meat, and I have to rethink the town's security net a little.

Tomorrow we will adjust the security net from the outside and hunt several days' worth of meat, goblins and Kobolts, which will also serve as leveling for the Fang. ''

"won!"

"Vandaloo and Fang do their best, but can you go hunting if you're busy?"

Although Darussia does not have any guild registration cards, townspeople think it is a dark elf living in a hidden village. For this reason, more people think that she was an excellent hunter in the village, as if she were unnatural when hunting for a monster like a D-class adventurer would hunt. It should be.

"That's true ... then I hope that the Fang leveling is over."

"Yes, leave it to me"

"One skewers"

During the conversation, customers come in sparsely. The stalls of the Vandaloos have been delicious and reputable during the past week, and have attracted more guests than just those involved in Hungry.

"Yes, one bamboo is three Baum"

"Huh? Price cut?"

Customers were confused that the price of skewers, which had been five baums until yesterday, was suddenly reduced, but paid three baums to purchase skewers. Then, returning to the main street, I observed skewers again.

(Is the amount of meat unchanged? No, it's increasing a little. So, is the quality reduced?)

The moment he knew the bad feeling, he knew it was wrong. The taste was clearly up.

"Wow !? Why is it cheaper and the amount hasn't changed, but it's getting better?

Once the customer returned to the main street, he turned himself and purchased another skewers.

(... I changed the way of purchasing)

Rather than buying at a wholesale store, we hunt and process the ingredients directly ourselves, so the purchase cost is just free. And since I work in Fang and Vandalu, there is no labor cost.

As a result, even one bamboo is profitable.

And the reason why it tasted better than yesterday is simply that the quality of skewered meat has improved. Until yesterday, skewers used were rank 1 demons such as giant rats and horn rabbits. On the other hand, what I use now is rank 2 demons, such as giant horn rabbits and giga birds.

Basically, the higher the rank of a demon, the higher the meat taste and usefulness of the ingredients. There is no dramatic difference from just changing from rank 1 to 2, but it will change if Vandaloo's [cooking] skill is added.

Making good dishes with inferior ingredients may be a showcase of the chef's skills, but it is still better to use good ingredients from the beginning to make delicious dishes.

"Why was it so delicious?"

"This morning, my [cooking] skill level has improved."

"So that's it!"

It wasn't enough time to explain it for a long time, so Vandaloo explained to the customer only the shortest explanation of the taste.

"Eh, don't you explain in detail? If you spread Joseph's bad reputation, it may be convenient at times. '

The widespread spread of Joseph's pressure on wholesalers could further reduce his bad reputation. Yes, Olbia insists, but Kimberly appeased.

"Olbia's sister, if you do that, the reputation of the butcher that the boss traded until yesterday will also decline, so you didn't like that?

"Oh, that person really looks like a good person."

Vandaloo was a little bit concerned about his butcher's father who had yielded to Joseph's pressure to live.

"If you can't help it"

As he said, a thin bearded man approached the stall, wearing a sparsely torn cloak from the slums and not from the main street.

"Welcome ~"

"No, I'm not a customer ... I'm Simon, introduced by the husband of" Hanaro "."

A man named Simon, whose age is difficult to understand because of his beard and dirt, bowed with a humble smile.

"Well, you're here. There's someone from Vandalu and Michael."

"Hey, thank you. But what would you do to hurt my death? If I could get a job, I would be happy to work ... but I don't think it would be useful."

Simon says that makes her sneaky smile bigger. But Vandaloo shook his head saying, "No, that's not the case."

"Do you still have the Adventurer Guild registration card?"

"Yeah ... if you have this, you can get a day job even if you don't have a good hand."

The man named Simon, who was introduced to Miles by Michael from The Hungry Wolf, was originally an adventurer. However, long before his retirement had accumulated, he lost his dominant arm and was unable to fight.

Nowadays, he manages to work on a day job for newcomers who still have little fighting abilities, such as cleaning the town. A so-called deceased.

"Now, please have the adventurer's guild purchase this defeat certificate."

Vandalu's job at Simon was to sell to the adventurer's guild a proof of the defeat of the demon hunted at the Makai today.

"Well, what's the subjugation proof site? Why is that kind of thing going on to others?" ... If you have a registration card, you'll be able to buy it right away. "

As perplexed by Simon, anyone who is registered in the Adventurer's Guild will buy the subjugation proof site. It's not just that you'll be introduced to the adventurer's crumble beggar.

"Because we don't have anyone"

However, the adventurer's guild does not buy any subjugation proof sites from those who do not have a registration card.

"Well then, if you register ... No, nothing. I'll do it."

Simon remained confused, but apparently felt something from the eyes of Fang staring at himself with the shadows of Vandaloo and the stalls. He pushed his puzzles and questions aside and bowed.

Perhaps they misunderstood that if they were curiously interested, they would endanger themselves.

"Now, this is the proof of suppression. Please come back here if you buy it and then give half of the purchase price as a share."

"Hey, I understand ... this, this is it !? I'll go right away!"

Simon, who received the sack with the subjugation certificate, dashed to the adventurer's guild.

The purchase price of the destruction proof site of the demons of ranks 1 and 2 is not significant. However, the weight of the bag probably turned out to be a certain number. If that is the case, even if it is halved, it will be income for several days hired work. You should not be starving for a while.

Considering what Simon does, it's an exceptional reward. However, for Vandaloo, the money earned by purchasing the subjugation proof part is not "earnings from business" and cannot be put on the books. So it is pointless money.

So he hired Simon as much as a volunteer, and intends to use the other half of his money to donate to the orphanage.

"I hope the lord who sends spies around us will be convinced that our funds are plentiful."

"I would be glad if you hunted monsters before coming to this town and saved the money to buy stalls and houses with the money you sold them."

And the last reason is that they want to raise a small amount of money while they are being watched so that the lord can dispel any distrust they may have.

"Hehe, it's true. I guess I'm selling meatless skewers at the stalls now or maybe I'm folding the store. We just need to check that."

"So why can you get money from Joseph's husband?"

Then, instead of Simon, men of races around the thirties came in the back street. One of them was familiar with Vandaloo and Darussia.

Agger.

Until now, Aggah, who had only been looking away from the stall and looked away in a regrettable manner, approached the stall of Vandaloo as if he got bullish with his friends.

Then she talked with Nita Nita with a hateful smile.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Vandaloo, Mr. Darusia. For those of you who are doing business-I guess it's going well! Why are you grilling meat?"

But when he saw Vandalu roasting skewered meat as before, his tone and expression changed completely.

"Hey, what's going on, Agger?-It looks a little different. Why are you doing business with a calm face?"

"That's right. The only thing that makes a dark elf so beautiful is that she doesn't seem to have a bump.

The two companions that Aggar brought in changed the look in the same way and began to question him in a whisper.

"Whatever ... It's a kushiyaki stall. I don't think anything is wrong."

When Aggar's appearance is strange, Darussia replied with a slightly twitching sales smile. ... She has good ears and can hear their conversations being whispered.

However, it seems that the voice of Darussia has not reached Aggar's ear. He shouted abruptly as he moved his gaze and thought something.

"That's right! It's dog meat! I crush that guard dog and replace it with meat."

"Won! Won won won!"

"Wow !? Why is the guard dog alive and growing up?"

Fang, hiding in the shadow of a stall, barked violently against Agger, who was shouting at the store for terrible reputational damage.

He seemed to be waiting on his own, considering that he might be scared if he could see him from the main street, but he thought he couldn't leave it behind.

However, even if it rots, she should be called a guard, or even if she barks at a fang like a large dog and barks, Aggar does not fall down like a stomach, but immediately falls back and stands ready.

"As you can see, my Fang is fine. Mr. Agger, he seems to have come to the entertainment district with his colleagues just after work ... but is there any inconvenience if my stall has meat?"

Vandalu asked the agger while using [Maou's Demon Eye].

"Be-be-be-be, I don't care about anything. I'll go, you!"

"I know!"

"Please wait!"

But whether they're more afraid of fear than the money they've glimpsed before, or whether Vandaloo is too much, they just turned blue and shook their voices. I was dissipated by my legs.

"Should I be a little more serious?"

"Is there no help for it? If they were stunned while incontinent or defecationing at the storefront, that would be troublesome. '

"That people ... have you been hired by Joseph?"

"I was told by the Eleonoras through the Demon King, that the servant of Joseph's house had contacted Aggar."

Agger is just a poor guard, so personal and capable. However, bribing is known to be one of the guards of the crime organization.

It must be that Joseph had hired money for excessive harassment of the Vandaloos.

The reason I brought my friends a while ago was to confirm that Vandalu, who could not have purchased meat, is operating a stall, and if it was open, I made a difficult habit that I was selling suspicious things instead, and opened the store He was supposed to threaten to close.

To hinder the examination of whether to become a regular union member from temporary registration.

…… Agger and his companions seemed to be planning on going to Darussia in the meantime.

"Is it okay for those three to get rid of it?

"Well, it's certainly unpleasant, but if you think about killing it ... it's subtle."

Josef, at his own discretion, uses the power of the subguild master to make excessive harassment. But Agger is just a small thing hired for money.

If Joseph buries in the dark, similar people will not come out for a while, but in Aggar's case, similar small people may appear one after another.

And even if they rot, they're guards, so suspicious deaths or missing may lead to extensive investigations.

"Yeah ... it may be subtle if there is no more harm."

Darussia, who should have sense of danger, knew that Aggah was uncomfortable but not enough to kill him. Now she has no change in physical condition even if she drinks a full mug of ordinary paralyzing and sleeping pills, and if she demonstrates her strength hidden in her thin arms, a normal knight can easily kill it with a single blow.

So I thought it would be good while Agger's interests were for her.

"Hmm, surely if we clean up, Bandarou and others may be able to find a belly by guards. I can't find anything anyway, so I just want to be quiet. "

"I can't help saying that, it's a job. Speaking of work, are you still here? The Lord's Spy

"Then, the lord already knows about this harassment. Then the lord should manage it, because it's a matter of his uncle and the guards of the town he rules. '

"That's true. But if the boss has a calm face, it may not work, thinking it's not a big deal. Boss, why don't you go to the window on the second floor of that building and say, "It's hard to harass me."

"... Isn't that just dropping the spies there?"

"won!"

Fang, who only feels Agger a threat, screams at Vandaloo, whose atmosphere has shifted from consultation to chat.

They seem to argue that they should stay away.

"It's okay, Fang. He can't resort to direct violence. Both Joseph and Aggar are the greatest weapons in their respective positions, powers and authorities, and nothing else is great."

Josef is a subguild master of a commercial guild and uncle of the lord, Aggar is a guard. They use it to harass Vandaloos.

However, on the contrary, we cannot deviate greatly from it. If you do that, your neck will be tightened.

"Well, humans don't notice or forget about that area ... but I have to be careful."

"one?"

Fang wondered, as she told her. The master is not a human, but why should he care?

What he did not understand no matter how many times he was told. That was what Vandaloo really thought he was a human being.

In a sanctuary far from the town of Moxy, Vida, the goddess of life and love, was a close brother and surrounded the table with his sisters.

"Is restructuring of the soul finished safely? This week was the biggest opportunity for Vandaloo, but now I can take a break. '

"The genie of time and art" Reclent sighs of relief.

"Although it's an opportunity, Ardas can't pierce. In just one week, moving the heroes shortly after the battle will only make it as long as those who are within the Duchy of Al Krem at the beginning. The reincarnate doesn't seem to be around, and Birkine isn't fast moving.

Recruit is too worried. "

"The god of space and creativity," Zuluwan says, polishing a magnificently decorated silver cup.

"... maybe a hero or a god could come down directly?

Claiming that is Vida's new brother ... the former Demon King's army and the current Vida faction, "Evil God in the Labyrinth" Gufadogan. While other gods were gathered as they were, she was present in the sanctuary, staying close to her.

"I can't do that."

But Vida shook her opinion.

"Even if you bring heroes and gods to the town of Moxy to aim for Vandalu, if you take the Vandalus and flee inside the border mountain range with [Transfer], it will be broken."

Considering the amount of energy that is consumed when descending to the ground, it is not just a pain but a dying serious injury. If you know that Gufadogan is near Vandalu, you can't do that.

"In addition, even if Vandalu attacks the territory of Ardas, it is unlikely that the gods of Ardas will descend on the ground and fight directly.

Our older brother and brother, Arda, is trying to beat Vandaloo for the sake of the world. But they won't risk destroying the world to defeat Vandaloo. ''

Gods are necessary for the maintenance of the world, as Rekrent says. Neither does Arda want the danger that its necessary gods will disappear or be exhausted so that they are not involved in maintenance.

Of course, there is a certain amount of room, and even if it runs short, it will last more than a thousand years. However, if the number of active gods decreases more than expected ... In the worst case, the world collapses and disappears in a few seconds.

"But after a few seconds the world collapses and disappears, because not only Alda but also we all disappear, so I think you are too worried."

'You are too optimistic. What's that unfamiliar cup?

"My cup. I'm going to drink cola with this. "

"... Vandaloo is busy, don't hurry too much"

"Zuluwan, is Cola a drink like a sweet ale? If so, wouldn't it be better to have a deeper vessel so that the bubbles would not spill?

The air in the sanctuary, which should have had a serious discussion, has relaxed.

"In any case, the soul has been shaped. From now on, the power of the death attribute will be easier to handle. '

"In the past, the shape was distorted because of the proper assembly of Rodcorte ... It is still abnormal when viewed as a human soul."

"It must have been impossible originally. The attempt to reconstruct the broken soul fragments into one human soul.

It seems that there was no problem on the surface of "Earth" where humans do not have magical powers ... Woke up to the death attribute in "Origin" where magic exists, and reincarnated as "Lambda" where there is a status system that I created I was in the current state because of

"His death attribute magic .... [Hades of magic] skill is passive. For Vandalu, the power of the death attribute is heartbeat and breathing ... No, the same as bones, muscles, and internal organs. It is a function that can be used without being aware of it. "

Humans can stand without knowing the structure of the legs, and they can function without knowing how the internal organs work.

The power of the death attribute was defined by the status system as being the same for Vandaloo.

"In the unlikely event that Vandaloo reincarnates, his soul will never lose his death attribute. Again, it should be the same in a world where there is no magical power like 'Earth' again. '

"I'm looking forward to his end, but I can't help but keep an eye on it."

Gufadogan, who once closed his mouth, asked the Vidas who talked about Vandalu.

"Ogamis, I want to confirm. Has the reconstruction of Vandalu's soul ended there? It seems that there are parts that are spilling and parts that are innumerable. ”

Liquids and eyeballs spilled from part of the giant vandaloo, and swarms of vandaloos of various sizes, ranging from hand-sized to a little over three meters, spilled around.

Gufadogan is worried that he can leave that state.

"Okay, that spilling liquid and eyeballs are auras, because they are similar to the flames emanating from Zanták's body.

Later, the other vandaloos are just separated to fulfill the role of angel and blessing. "

"It will appear and unite in the dream of those who will be blessed. There seems to be no other work at the moment. "

But according to Vida and Recrent, there seems to be no problem.

Gufadogan nodded, "Okay," as the gods of the world say so.

"Now, Gufadogan has finally entered the Boundary Mountains, and I want to slow down for a while ... see the state of Peria, where the resurrection is imminent, and look for places where Bottine is sealed, It's a lot of work to get you from the Ardians to the Vidas.

"In the end, it's almost up to the believers. Whether you award an oracle or go into a dream, ultimately your choice is yours. You have to entrust it. '

"Yes, I have to guide the priests of human society because I have been sleeping until now. ...... But there are few people who receive the oracle more than expected. There are quite a few people who are actually my followers,

"So I'll be the shadow of Vandaloo again"

The gods returned to their respective roles, and the sanctuary was once more quiet.
