The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 212: Eroded Town: Moxy

They were attracted to the smell of blood from several demons and gathered.

Horn rabbits, goblins, forest wolf, slime, devoured goats, impairer ox, and orcs.

The cause of the blood of demons, whose races and strengths fall apart from one place. It can only be considered an adventurer.

Adventurers who came to hunt at the Makai are resting with the dead monster on a cart or carriage.

Having understood that, they decided to attack the adventurers immediately. Adventurers are good at smelling oak blood. But their leaders thought that they could win if they were tired and resting.

And I saw a cart full of monsters piled up and a gray-haired child sitting hidden behind it.

They thought they had encountered more luck than they had imagined, and rushed into the cart.

"Gow down !?"

"Gyawan! Gyawan!"

Then they attacked ... Kobolts were being kicked off by a large dog wearing an aura of heat.

The Kobolts are easily flipped off, and the Kobold Soldier's weapons do not skimp. Conversely, the heat haze that a large dog wears distorts Kobold's vision and runs quickly, killing Kobold with powerful fangs and claws.

"Wow!"

If it were to be wiped out, the commanding Kobolt General commanded the flock to form a crowd.

They quickly decided that they would be able to compete if they protected each other and eliminated the blind spot. Both the general who gave the order and the Kobolts who can follow the command, it can be said that as expected, tribes are good at coordination among monsters.

At least it's more than a bad bandits.

"Vow!"

However, the large dogs rose at once with the dense Kobolts' bodies as a foothold and attacked the general.

"Wow !? Gyaooon!"

Kobolt General immediately activated [Shield Art] 's martial art [Stone Wall] and tried to protect himself from the attack of a large dog with a shield.

However, the shield, taken from a human corpse, was bounced off the catch of a large dog and the General Throat was torn in the second shot.

"Woooooooooooooh!"

A large dog roars for victory, and the survivors of Kobolts, who have been killed by the herd leader, scream and begin to flee.

Instead, the D-class adventure party "Iwan Tedan" appeared.

"This is a black dog! A rank 3 monster! A dangerous guy!"

"Black? I can only see gray, but ... wait, rock, rock."

"It's not a matter of the fur! It's a flaming flame-like [dark aura] that is a proof of the black dog. That confuses the enemy's eyes, turns off the sign and attacks from the blind spot, causing fatal wounds ... Even more terrifying demons, there are many D-class adventurers who fear him as the god of death.

Don't be careless! "

"Aren't you familiar with that black dog? Later, it's hard to see in the aura, but he's wearing a collar, he.

And ... please explain as soon as you can. We are surprised, but we are bad. ''

"I'm sorry, but I didn't intend to hide."

Black Dog ... Vandaloo, sitting near the wagon guarded by Fang, bowed, saying so.

I was planning to hunt a lot of demons to get the meat I need tomorrow, also serving as a Fang leveling today.

Vandaloo, who simply directs the Fang to hunt monsters, has experience. However, he now has less than 10% of his experience gained from defeating ranks 3 and 4 demons, which is not enough to raise his level.

However, as a result of being a [Granted Guy], each time Lucilianos mutate to a new race, they gain experience in Vandalu. He gained experience when he turned Fang into a witch, so he is already at a reasonable level.

(It may be surprisingly easy to earn experience points in [Granted Grants]. Later, Eleonora and Ira had a lot of experience with Abel in "Bounty Hunter", which was eliminated yesterday .... Human (I heard that the experience gained by killing a human would be low, but I felt that it seemed that at least 10% came in.)

For that reason, I didn't have to worry about Vandalu leveling.

In the initial schedule, however, time was expected to be available from early morning until afternoon, but due to various circumstances, the schedule has changed. They had to reinforce the security network that Bandarou sneakly placed in the town of Morksey.

It didn't take much effort just to add more surveillance golems and undead, but it's not as simple as a matter of minutes.

So, in order to lure a large amount of monsters in a short time, the Vandalus decided to drain the hunted monsters in one place.

The smell of the blood of the demon floating around gathers the hungry demon. The monsters gathered in that way, and Fang harnessed the physical abilities that had risen under the influence of guidance, and continued to hunt monsters, sometimes supported by crampons and cues.

And, of course, it rose.

"Is it a black dog ... I heard from the rocks, it looks like a rare monster."

"won"

Vandalu stroking the head of a happy Fang. The waving tail can only be seen as a large dog. It's even more so, especially because it suppresses the aura like a heat haze.

According to Rock, that aura has the effect of inciting fear in humans, and black dogs are awkward monsters that attack not only the body but also the spirit.

"... For demons, it's not as good as me."

Until recently, Vandalu has not noticed, but he seems to be a more fearful monster than his Fang.

I've long been aware of the fear of demons, but it appears that lower-ranking demons are generally afraid of Vandaloo.

Just as timid herbivores avoid carnivores, weak monsters do not try to approach Vendaloo unless they are starving so insanely.

And most of the monsters that appear in the magical neighborhood closest to this town are "weak" monsters who fear Vanderlu. So during the hunt, Vandaloo was committed to quelling near the cart. If monsters gathered too much, I was going to show signs.

However, it took time for the locks to respond when they rushed.

"But it was a bit too much."

"won……"

"I'm glad I don't care."

He had prepared a large wagon in advance, but Fang had defeated so many monsters that he couldn't get enough meat and ingredients.

So after breaking up with the rocks, he called Gufadogan to connect the space, and decided to carry the part that he couldn't ride on his cart to the house.

By the way, the spy released by the lord has not followed up inside the evil spirits. Perhaps, rather than watching Vandaloo, he avoids being noticed when he finds himself in a monster and fights.

"But you don't need goblin or Kobold meat? I think it's good to throw away your ears and throw them away."

However, most of the items carried by Gufadogan were not used for skewers, but were demonic meats that were not originally edible. If you are not a slum or squatter resident who lacks even today's meals, you will not look.

"And if I donate to that orphanage, wouldn't it be better to give more good food?"

Smelly and hard goblin meat, or even slightly better cobold meat, is not poisonous. Because meat is meat, it would be better than not drinking and eating. In particular, the orphanage would have been glad to receive such meat, especially when the sisters cut their meals and did not prepare a satisfactory amount of meals for their children.

"No, I don't mean that there is a separate donation. I thought it might be used for gobgobbing or steaming.

The owners of the stalls that are open recently have a good eye on us, and maybe a chance. ''

"... I don't understand why gazes from other stalls can lead to gobbobs and opportunities, but it's all in the will of my Lord, Vandaloo.

But is one good? "

"What?"

"If we continue hunting today, so should carts, but should we increase the number of participants?"

"Caun Caun Caun ~"

Fang protests against Gufadogan's proposal with a sad voice. Perhaps he interpreted himself as insufficient. In other words, he said, "No, not my sister."

But she didn't seem to do so.

"Fang, my brethren, I didn't tell you because of your lack of power. I thought that humans would be suspicious when viewed from the side."

It is supposed that only Vandaloo and Fang participated in the hunt today. At least, the rocks and the guards guarding the town gates think so.

In addition, they believe that Vanderlu is hunting in a regime that leaves the battle largely to the Fang. You wouldn't imagine that Vandalu participated in combat with magic or martial arts.

That is the result of this battle today. They will be impressed by the fact that they have defeated multiple demons of the same rank or rank in Fang alone, but they may feel anxious at the same time.

To Gufadogan, Vandalu and Fang nodded, "I see."

"If you look from the side, it looks like I'm on a dangerous hunt in the tune. Indeed, the Fang alone is in charge of the battle, and I'm worried about becoming a Rank 3 Black Dog It will remain. "

Monsters do not always appear below a certain number in order toward the Fang. Rather, a separate group of monsters emerges at once, and the Fang storms towards the vulnerable (visible) Vandaloo while opposing other monsters.

Rock and Kest might imagine such a worst situation. And since Kest is just a new guard, you may be worried about it even if you imagine it. The rocks are adventurers working in the same magical area.

They may follow you, "Let's hunt today." I'm grateful, but it's inconvenient.

"Sure ... but my mother has a talk ... and I'm sure she'll be asked more often, so I can't always hunt together."

Darussia, who is busy preparing tomorrow's talks at the communal temple, will only be going once. But he was convinced that he would continue to be invited to speak. Because he is Mazacon, he underestimates the charm of Darussia.

"Won, won won!"

"Rita and Saria? I don't know if they're still saying they've taken the undead.

But the Eleonoras can't move from the criminal gangs, and getting a bouncer from Miles or recruiting in the adventurer's guild isn't as useful as hunting with the rocks in the end. . … Then, I have to resort to Rita and Saria after all.

Gufadogan pierces the space again, as Vandalou is thinking about how to make the Kests think they are human.

"No, the problem is the number of forces perceived by humans, so I wonder if their actual abilities are fine. So why not insist these people" tame on the way back from the hunt? " It is a monster that also appears in the Makai.

Come on, we are the Lord, my fellowmen. "

From the hole in the space, three monsters called by "Evil God of the Labyrinth" appeared!

Returning to the town of Morksey, Vandaloo completed a tonight's preparation by purchasing a little briefing at the gate and purchasing three additional collars at the Tamer Guild.

And with Darussia and Fang, they were visiting the orphanage in the slums for donation and comfort.

"Hey, everyone is here!"

As soon as the Vandalus appear at the gate of the orphanage, the orphans who are spending the afternoon in the garden are flooded. In fact, he donated meat that was not used for skewers yesterday, so he was well remembered.

And the cheerful voice at the top of the children is a boy, Mash, who was previously held down by Fang trying to steal from a stall.

"Mash! Call me Vandaloo! I'm sorry, I wasn't as polite as I couldn't reach ..."

"Ok, Celis. I'm fine with my kids. I'm just surprised at Vandaloo ... hey, Vandaloo?"

Darussia applauds Sister Serris, who apologizes to Pekopeko and greets her for a mash.

"Well, I want you to call my name."

"That was bad. You're my friend?"

"……e?"

Familiar with Mash's shoulders, Vandalou heard back. But Mash continued with a smile.

"What, we're friends!"

friend. The words resonated with Vandaloo. Yes, friends. Kasim is a friend of the same age, different from older friends.

"Yes, we are friends."

"Yes, of course!"

Mash put his hand on Vandalu's shoulder again. At first he tried to steal, but he was fine ... at this moment he was strongly recognized as a "friend" by Vandaloo.

"Children will get along soon."

"Oh, right? Vandaloo-san, his facial expression doesn't move and his voice is flat ... but maybe he hates you?"

"I don't have that. I'm just not good at telling my face and voice what I'm thinking a little. Look, it looks so fun."

When Darusia told me, Celis looked at Vandalu again, but the mash was screaming, "Show me your claws."

"Hah, huh ... is that so?"

She seemed to be bullied, but it might be something like that in her son's breasts that she knows from her mother. She came to think of her as her sister's sister, but she thought she wasn't far enough.

"Wow, it's longer than I thought."

"Can I cut anything?"

"Yes, you can peel off the fruit easily as well."

"" Ooh !? ""

"It's easy to cut harder shells of fruit as well, and to dig out even more."

"" "Ooooo !!!"

Vandaloo, who shows off his claws like a shopping show somewhere, didn't think she was actually bullied.

"Hey, where did the fruit come from?"

"I had it in my sleeve."

In fact, it is just the result of the job effect of [Tree Master].

"Is it really good to eat?"

"Please do"

"Thank you for your sister!"

"Eh, she was your girl !?"

"I'm your brother. Mash, I'm a man."

The children seemed to be loud during the second sexual phase, and the children could not recognize the gender of Vandaloo with no beard.

"Did your brother get rid of the demon with his claws?"

"No, this is the main fang that got rid of it."

Introduced the Black Dog Fang, and the children cheer, "Look strong!" Fang, who dislikes humans, is less responsive, but sits quietly with his aura suppressed, without any signs of irritation.

"So, what's this big rat?"

Mash pointed to three giant rats, almost the same size as a large dog and a fang.

"View"

Great giant rat with different colors of white, black and gray. Blunt eyes, mustaches acting as antennas, elongated tails. Everything is a mouse except for its size.

"They are Marol, Urumi, and Suruga. Great Giant Rats that I found and tamed on the way home today."

These three are the rank 2 demons recommended by Gufadogan.

Of course, it was not captured and tamed by Gufadogan. Originally, all three animals were born as a result of an undead-creature mating experiment conducted by Vandalu and Luciliano, and were transformed into monsters by drinking blood potions.

"Alignment"

"New"

Born as a result of mating with the undead, Marol's loyalty to Vandaloo is strong, thanks to the demonicity of Blood Potion. Moreover, from its appearance, it cannot be distinguished from its peculiar birth, and can only be seen as a normal Great Giant rat.

And the Great Giant Rat is a monster, albeit less so than a goblin. No one can deny Vandalou the chance to meet and accidentally say that there is a precedent called Fang.

Tamer Guild master Bachem did not show any suspicion.

"Is it okay to stroke?"

"It's okay if you're not violent. Don't pull your beard or ears."

The children started stroking the calm Malols, according to Vandalu. Rats are familiar to orphanage children, but when they stand up on their hind legs, the larger rat monsters seem to have stimulated their curiosity.

"Cheap ♪"

Marols appeal to their children with a high bark and appeal to their cuteness.

It is a so-called service.

"Cute ~!"

"Eh, wasn't this" Uh "sounding very low at first?"

Among the children, only the older mash seems to have noticed the bruising of Marols, but the other children are crazy about the amiable three giant rats.

Then, when Marol and Urumi put their children on their backs and began to play the rodents who could not ride, the youngest suruga rushed to Fang and began to bang with his tail.

"Cown !?"

"New! New! New! New! New!"

"Cunning!? ... Wow, wow, wow!"

Then, as a result of what seems to be a conversation, Fang approaches the children with a shouting sound that has never been heard before.

Apparently, Suruga replied to the Fang, "What are you doing when you're loving and loving the human puppies, but your junior you aren't doing anything !?" It seems.

And although the rank was higher, Fang, who lost the power of Suruga, seemed to reluctantly interact with the children.

"Now, now !? Have you seen it now?"

"What's wrong?"

When Mash called out to Vandaloo, his owner, he somehow pushed up with three younger children on his back.

Apparently, it appeals to Dampiel's strength.

"Wow, your forearm is thin, but it's strong. Isn't it okay if Sister unnie rides?-It's ten times heavier than you."

"Mash, what do you say? I'm not that heavy!"

"But I can't do it, my sister is getting fat recently. Oh, but if I'm Vestra, I'll be fine if I put it on, she's thinner than Celis!

Sisters of a curious look, about the same age as Celis, who walked quietly from behind the mash, pinched his cheeks.

"Mash, if you have time to say idiots and tease Celis, I'll help you get the meat to the food store. Let's not be upset and scold again."

She seems to be the best girlfriend speaking in a much more crisp tone than Celis.

"Vestra ... Thank you, I know ..."

"What the hell, even though Bestra Unnie used to be teased by Ludo's brothers in the past, but to say Kyakkya."

"Old days, now, now! Help quickly!"

"Hello, let's go"

"Yes, let's do it quickly."

"Eh !? Vandalu is good."

"That's right, I'm not enough to thank you for your donation following yesterday!"

Vestula and Celis try to stop Vandaloo, who begins to carry ingredients with the mash in a very natural way.

However, he pushes a cart with dried meat that is quickly processed by magic and fur that can be used as a blanket.

"I don't care, I'm a strong man. And you can just call me down, aren't they both older than me?"

"No, I'm working at a food stall ... and a great tamer."

"Yes, it's better than us."

But Vestra and Celis say so and help push the cart. Apparently, they value the temporary registration with the commercial guild and the Tamer rather than the age of Vandaloo.

"Is a man a job after all? Well, Vandalu, tell me how to fight or fight."

"I'm not confident because my taste is my own way, but if I am good at fighting,"

"Mash, I'm annoying Vandaloo ... Huh, is that good?"

Dalcia was talking to the director of the orphanage, who came late from the building while talking off the vandaloos heading for the food store.

"Yes, this is Vida's ..."

"Yes, that's right. When the town grew and the slums began to spread like shadows, the first director started building his private property saying," I need love here. " This building has only history. "

Aside from wearing the eyepatch on his left eye and being thin, the director, who is a gentle and somewhat elegant woman, points to an orphanage where he can see traces of repairs and smiles.

"I don't think dark elves are about history."

"No, I'm still a young person"

"Well, that's right. I have such a strong son, so I really want to hear about children's education."

"Such, I don't do much. I just struggle with my son."

So Darussia replied to the director and suddenly remembered his days with Vandaloo, and was a bit depressed that he was really struggling.

"Rather than that, isn't your relationship with the priests and lords of the communal temples good?"

But not when you are depressed. He said that the conversation with the director was not only about making friendly relations with her but also about collecting information.

It seems that the director did not even notice the heart of Darussia.

"You understand, because the first director was a Vida fundamentalist, because the priests of the communal temple are religious.

Previously, the entire Duke of Al Krems was harsh with the new tribe of Vida, and had little to do with our hospital, which also accepted beasts and giant orphans. ''

About 300 years ago, the duke of Al Krems had a tragedy that killed her when she was attacked by a thief. And the attack on the line of the carriage carrying the daughter was due to the leakage of information of the knights of the beast race at the time, and about half of the attacked thieves were composed of new Vida races such as beasts and giants. But called for more tragedy.

At the time, the duke, who was betting his daughter, focused on hunting thieves in his territory, and at the same time, expelled knights, guards, civilians, and other public officials of Vida's new race. Don't let it go. "

At that time, the dukes served as kings for two terms, and the good princes and prosperity who prospered the Duke of Al Krem were terrified, and many of the new exiled Wida races said, `` One day they will return to their sanity. It should be. "

And the next Duke maintained his father's policy from the sadness of losing his sister.

And it continued until recently. The Vida religion in the communal temple has been affected, and it seems that those who have a friendly attitude toward the members of the Alda have become priests for generations and have become alienated from orphanages.

"As you can see, there are also beasts and giants of the ethnic group, but we know that the lords of the past are secretly helping us. I think that's why ...

"I think so too"

Darussia nodded to the director after seeing orphans and giants of orphans playing with Fang and Marols.

Complete persecution could cause a new tribe of Vida in the territory to unite as an anti-political force, and it would be difficult to crawl and become a criminal.

But it's hard to help out because the Duke doesn't change his policy. So the past lords would have been secretly going.

"But is it possible to repair the relationship now?"

It is now possible to take office in a new tribe of Vida throughout the Duke of Al Krem. Proof is that a wolf-based race kest is serving as a guard.

However, the director shook his head slowly.

"It doesn't work very well. Even if the system changes, it's up to the hearts of the people ... particularly in the past, especially with the priesthood of Alda, a communal temple."

"Yes, that's-"

Bad for kids, but convenient. Darussia muttered in his heart without speaking.

Darussia and Vandalu are anti-Ardah religions ... On the contrary, they are anti-Ardians. It is important that the orphans can live a human life without hunger, but it is subtle to say that as a result of their various assistance, "We have joined the Vida followers who are on good terms with the Arda Reconciliation School!"

(That's why we should keep this orphanage as Vida fundamentalism and pull the Vida followers of the communal temple towards us. To do that, we have to do our best tomorrow's lecture!)

"What did you do?"

When asked by the director, Darussia smiled and answered, "No, nothing." As if nothing really happened.

And that evening, an incident occurred while preparing to open a kushiyaki stall.

The stall owners, who are operating in the same street, gathered for the stalls in Vandalu. Fang emerges from the shadows of the stalls with the extraordinary sign that they drift, and Marols also lower their bodies.

"Ah, something ...?"

The shop owners said to the perplexed Darussia.

"Please excuse me!"

"Please, stop because I ask!"

He bowed down. They appealed to the increasingly perplexed Darussia.

"The skewers in your stall are delicious and too cheap! And today's meat is bigger than yesterday, boars ... I guess it's not oak or huge boar meat!"

"If such a thing were sold at a similar price, nobody would look at our goblin or Kobold soup with meat dumplings with ears or sandwiches from scum vegetables and pieces of meat!"

Without stopping to bake the skewers, Vandaloo talked to the owners.

"Because the meat is self-procured, the price is free and all the processing is done by ourselves. I felt a sense of crisis as a result of the price of our skewers dropped."

For poor slum dwellers, if you can get a good meal at a similar price, the better choice is. Moreover, the skewers of Vandalu are not only cheap, but the amount of meat stabbed in one skewer is also large.

What we have prepared today is one of the owners, but a rank 3 demonic meat that has been defeated by a fang, such as an oak. In addition to the backstreet connecting the entertainment district and the slum, the food on the main street near the entrance of the town is of course the food that is served at solid restaurants.

There is no way to confront such skewers with products that deceive unsavoryness with the cheapness and quantity they handle. The owners' judgment is correct.

"Oh, that's right! I'm gonna think we should go somewhere else!"

"I can't move from here because you are a temporary registration, but we can do stalls everywhere according to the rules of the commercial guild!"

"But there really isn't a place to go. There's no way to get the product right on the street, it might be kicked out by other stall owners because it looks bad, When you do business, you lose your sales, so you can't live very much. ''

"That's right, you guys should work harder to make more delicious dishes, renew the dirty food stalls, and open a new business on the street, I wonder if I should look for a better job !? "

"It's a story that if you can do it, you're going to do it. There are likely to be a lot of circumstances ... you can't do physical labor by breaking your body in mercenaries or adventurers, or you can't work without learning. There is a previous criminal.

In the first place, there is not enough money to buy a lot of ordinary ingredients and renew the stalls in my daily life. ''

"Why did you understand the situation so much?"

She cried before Darussia and Vandalu, who alternately argued about the owners. Other shopkeepers are also weak with a sad face.

…… At first, Fang, who was wary, was looking at the shopkeepers, looking at the poor creatures.

By the way, Vandaloo and Darussia know the circumstances of the shop owners because their adviser Chipras told them that "If you make skewers too cheap, this may happen."

One of his jobs, which infiltrated human society as a sub-guild master and consultant for commercial guilds, was to reach out to those who stumbled in life, bringing the situation that no one else could rely on, Was to be used for various purposes.

Therefore, it seems that people like them are generally predictable.

"Well, so you know what we're asking for?"

"I can't do anything rough because I'm being challenged by Michael from Hungry. I'm sorry I didn't mean to hunt you down ..."

"It's good ... Michael is a good person unlike the previous one."

"Shova charges only once a month, and if things go wrong, we'll pay you."

"My minions have started paying properly."

Apparently, Miles, the Michael of Hungry Wolf, is loved by slum dwellers.

"But, if you know that, ask. Aside from the husband of 'Kenryu', your son is a tamer who's so talented that he's already trying to demon!"

"I know it's a tentative registration, but if it doesn't, you'll be an adventurer and just hunt and you'll be able to live enough.

If we can't do this, we'll be drooling! "

"I thought so, so we have another option."

"eh?"

Vandalu pointed to the large stone vase that he had brought on the cart, and suggested it to the confused shopkeepers.

"Because I will teach you new products and how to make them, why not become a chain store ... affiliated? Specifically, just draw the Vida holy mark on the stalls."

It was at this time that the erosion of Vandaloo became visible to the inhabitants of the town of Morksey.
