The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Two days after hearing the lecture, he was out of town.

In retrospect, how many years have you been out of the city of Moxy? Strictly speaking, we have been asked several times to help repair the walls that protect the town, so it may not be that long.

But he felt it for more than a decade. The cold winter breeze is comfortable. Every time you feel the feeling of stepping on the snow that has accumulated since yesterday, it reminds you of that time.

And the smell of blood drifting and the sight of the dead body rolling around was so pleasing that it couldn't be helped.

"Yes, I can still do it. I can't do it anymore, I can do as much goblin with one arm! Paku, hahaha!"

Simon smiled while struggling to wipe the blood from the thick sword in her left arm.

These days, Simon's bosom has been warmed with the rewards of an ambassador from Vandaloo. The number and quality of the monster proofs given by him rose with each passing day. On the first day there were only ranks 1 and 2, but for the second time it was mixed with rank 4 Kobolt General.

That alone earned him a week's worth of day labor, but there were also other rank 3 demons in the bag, such as orcs and goblin leaders.

He was active and never hunted so many monsters in a single day, even at party. I think it is honest.

Just carry his work to the Adventurer's Guild and you'll receive half. With little effort and no danger, you get enough money. I'm lucky.

But it wasn't just lucky for Simon.

Every time you enter or leave the adventurer's guild, you can turn your eyes off.

Until now, Simon regularly went to the adventurer's guild to get day labor. At that time, his arm is pointed at his gaze of pity and ridicule.

When I was an adventurer, in my late teens in my third year. At last, Simon lost his dominant hand from his shoulders when he finally bought a decent piece of equipment and passed the exam to be promoted to D-class.

The shock was great, but he didn't give up immediately. There was also a good alchemist at Moxy, so he managed to get some magic item prosthetic hands and rushed with his party colleagues at the time.

With a prosthetic hand of magic items with good performance, you can not only have the inconvenience of living everyday life, but also fight as an adventurer.

But the cost of purchasing a magic prosthesis was more than ten times the amount that Simon imagined, even for poorly performing items.

Simon, who had just become a D-class adventurer at the time, had no significant savings. Even if we gathered the property of all our fellows, it was less than a down payment.

There is no way to borrow money from guilds to Simon, who has just become a D-class adventurer.

Still struggling without giving up for a while. He trained to use his sword with his left arm, and tried other roles, such as turning to shield work and mastering magic.

But they didn't go well, and Simon dropped out of the party when he was in a good position. The companions then leave Moxie and don't know the name because they don't ask for their names.

Did he die before raising his name, or have he been promoted to C-class in another Duke, and he has been active in moderation, or has he left the adventurer to take on another role? If you heard it in the guild, you might have been told. But Simon didn't look into it.

Simon, who was alone in this town, was alive by inertia. At first, I think I was trying to keep my luggage, get a job in production, and live as a legitimate person.

However, since then, the amount of alcohol has increased, and the place to live has been moved from cheap streets on the main street to abandoned slums.

When I noticed, the swords and armor I used in old days disappeared because of the cost of living, and I was completely a "slum dweller living in the slum."

It's no wonder he's pitied and ridiculed by active adventurers.

Such Simon brought a lot of defeat evidence to the adventurer's guild. There is no reason to be inconspicuous. As a result, it was quickly spread that he was hired by a dumper boy, who was not an adventurer but a tamer who was hunting his own ingredients for use in the stalls.

Although a non-adventurous Vandaloo is a foodstuff, collecting the ingredients on his own is not very enjoyable from the perspective of the adventurer's guild.

A client who is ignorant of the situation may say, "Why do you have to pay such a high commission to defeat monsters that can be hunted by children who are not adventurers?"

If not, it would not be fun to breach vested interests.

But, of course, Vandaloo doesn't come to the adventurer's guild, so the guild's dissatisfaction comes to his simon.

He has even been asked to ask the adventurer's guild to procure ingredients or to tell Vandalu to register as an adventurer.

The gaze of active adventurers turned to him changed from mockery to contempt. It is believed that he has successfully taken in and used the sweet juice.

... Actually, I can't make excuses because I'm sucking sweet juice.

But scorns and insults have been used to Simon in the last decade. So even though I felt uncomfortable on the spot, I didn't mind ... but after hearing the Darussia talk, I thought.

As long as you live, you can start over. I wonder if I could start over as a decent adventurer without having to treat me that much.

He noticed that Simon was carrying the money, not the bar, but to the arms store. So I bought a sword and moved my body, which was dull for two days.

And today, he left the town in a timely manner so that he couldn't match the town with Vandalu, and found and hunted a goblin that was roaming alone outside the magical area.

"Hey, in this case, in a month ... you can go up to rank 2. If you can regain your old intuition and be able to fight with your left arm .... Rank 3 is not a dream."

In order to earn and live as an adventurer, it is difficult to hunt monsters of rank 3 or higher. Rank 2 is enough to live in a slum, but it doesn't make sense in a life where the consequences of doing dangerous work with this body remain the same.

Simon laughed at the goal and realized that he was approaching it, but with his forehead sweating and his shoulders going up and down as he breathed.

It seems that the decline in physical strength due to years of inactivity has been more severe than he thought.

There is a status system and skills in this world. And once a skill is acquired, it is valid for a lifetime.

But that doesn't mean that the skill owner's own body can perform at its level in any condition.

If your muscles weaken, your sword's speed and power will be impaired, and your intuition will slow your sword handling.

However, Simon disregards his condition, cuts off the goblin's ears, and begins clumsyly breaking down the goblin.

"I didn't expect to go home with the goblin flesh. Well, this is a moth ... let Vandaloo review that I'm not the only one ...!?"

Simon's surprise holds his sword away from the goblin corpse. In front of his gaze was a flock of wolves.

"Wolf ... shit, were you invited by the smell of blood?"

What appeared is a normal wolf that is not a monster. The wolves, who were working outside the Makai, appeared and were invited by a goblin corpse on the way Simon was dismantling.

The number is less than ten, and all wolves look slim. Probably not getting enough in winter. That's why Simon is trying to take care of the demon that he has defeated.

(I'm sorry ... I can't do this here.)

Simon decides so and slowly moves away from the goblin corpse, staring at the wolf.

The wolf is not a monster, but if you apply it to the rank, it is 2 and that is just under ten. It's not the person Simon can get rid of today.

Luckily, wolves are not demons, so wolves don't care about killing humans. Give me a goblin corpse and you will not have to fight.

Simon thought so, but the wolves seemed to make a different decision. A group swarmed around him trying to move away slowly. The face of Simon who saw it pulled.

"Do you think these guys can kill me easily?"

The wolves had decided not only to goblin corpses, but also to prey on Simon, who looked tired with his arms.

The wolf strips its tusks as if timed to Simon's cry, and one of the swarms attacks first to push him down.

"Ku, shit, [quick response]!

The reaction speed is increased by the martial arts fired for the first time in years, and the sword flashes at the head of the wolf that first jumped.

"Gup !?"

But pain ran from his arm with his sword, and Simon's attack shifted from the wolf. He tries to avoid the wolf's tackle immediately, but his leg gets tangled and falls.

(Why, what ?! The martial arts should have been activated !?)

The speed of the reaction increased, and Simon's eyes clearly saw a wolf trying to press against herself.

Martial arts had been activated, as Simon had expected. However, the weakened arm, weakened, could not bear the quick flash of the sword, complaining of pain, and the weakened leg could not cope with the reaction speed raised by martial arts, and it got tangled. Was.

(Such !? I wonder where I end up ?!)

Simon shouted as he saw the wolf approaching his neck to bite himself.

"Ta-"

"Wow!"

At the same time as the sound of a low rat, the wolf screaming at Simon screamed, "Gain !?"

Surprisingly, Simon's view was a giant rat with long tails and body hair with a metallic sheen.

"Well, a monster?

"New!"

"Geely!"

Before Simon got up, I felt hot and cold from both sides. The next moment, one wolf was burned with a fireball and chilled with a cold bullet.

A rat wearing a burning flame and a rat wearing a liquid that causes a cool air appear from the left and right.

"After all, three animals ..."

"GUoooooooo !!"

As Simon understood who was helped, a terrifying roar shook the air. The herd of wolves, reduced in number, scream and flee.

"I was late, but I helped."

Speaking to Vandaloo on the back of a rare gray furry Hellhound, Simon convinced that she had been saved and sighed of relief.

It was by accident that Vandaloo was rushed to Simon's crisis. He hunted with Darussia yesterday, so he went hunting earlier than usual to get the Fang's leveling right, and he achieved his rank up so he happened to pass on his way home.

"I see, goblin hunting."

"Yeah, it gets hot without a year ..."

After hearing about the situation, Vandaloo listened to the story while touching Simon's arm, who was sitting tired.

"Embarrassed story, my trembling in my feet didn't stop ... I'm sorry."

"Blank, is it quite long? If not, it's easy, and it seems tired."

"Yeah ... but it's getting more and more comfortable just to talk to my little boy.

"So it's just that I'm recovering from fatigue."

Vandalou spoke to Simon, who mourns. In fact, Vandaloo had the limb released by [withdrawal of the astral body] penetrated into his body through his arm, and performed diagnosing, massaging, and healing power through fusion.

Unless you are willing to accept Simon, or otherwise unconscious, you cannot invade a spirit. But now he is mentally depressed and has no energy to resist, so he could be treated secretly.

(The arm only hurt the muscles, and the wounds are scarred. The internal organs have been inadequate for many years. The brain is ... mummy.)

"By the way, there was Fang and Marol, Urumi and Suruga. You've changed a lot.

Simon, who does not know that he is being healed from the body by the spirit of Vandalu and is also searching inside his head, turns his eyes to Fang.

The Fang, staring at him, sits beside Vandalu, and Marols devour the wolves' guts.

"won"

Fang, who was a black dog, was upgraded to Rank 4 Hellhound. Her body is about the size of a cow, but her hair color has not changed.

Hellhound is a well-known monster among adventurers, famous for the breath of fire and the fierceness and ferocity that can not be regarded as a dog. For this reason, it is said that it is difficult for even a skillful tamer to name it.

However, Fang, who became a Hellhound by repeatedly ranking up from dogs, seemed to have no ferocity. …… When I was roaring, Simon, who had been aware of her identity, was scary enough to shrug involuntarily.

Some of the reasons his feet are shaking now may be due to Fang.

But the changes that happened to Marols were more dramatic than the fangs that went up from Black Dog to Hellhound. Until yesterday, all three were rank 3 Mardarrats.

A greedy monster that prey on humans with sharp front teeth, and was the strongest monster in the tribe known for its rodents ... Marols are now clearly not Mardarrat.

Chew Won

Recognizing that the topic is for themselves, the three stopped devouring the wolves' guts and shouted at Simon.

The mouth is red with blood.

"Yes, each has a rank of 4, which is the same as Fang. Marol seems to be a fire rat, Urumi is a wet rat, and Suruga seems to be an iron rat."

Marols, whose races changed, changed their fur as the name suggests. Marol wore a flame, Urmi wore a liquid or cold, and Suruga was able to change its fur to a hardness comparable to metal.

It's a mutation that doesn't seem like a mouse.

"Have you heard of it?"

"No ... I don't know. You aren't here ... maybe a new breed? If you report to the Tamer Guild or the Adventurer's Guild, you'll get a prize!"

So what Simon says is that Marrol is probably a new breed. I've heard that a wet rat is a rabbit, and a fire and an iron rat have been heard as a kind of youkai in the tales of "Earth", so I thought that might be the case.

(So why did Marols rise to the current race? I wonder if they went to Earth and gained knowledge?

(If so, if the Fang were twins, they might have mutated to a guardian dog instead of a hellhound by now)

While imagining such a thing, Simon's arm was healed, and Vandaloo released his hand.

"I think it's all right now. Would you like to stand?"

"Yeah, somehow ... no, I'm sorry for the trouble. I say thank you, but the goblin and this."

Simon stood up and pointed to the goblin corpse he had defeated, put his sword in a sheath, and offered it to Vandalurou.

"It's cheap, but I don't have it right now ... I haven't used it yet, so I think some weapon shops will buy it."

"Are you good? Do you want to start over as an adventurer?"

"Yes, I knew what I was doing. I didn't think this way of life was right for me ... I'll try another way, even if I start over."

Simon was almost killed by the wolf, and was completely broken. He was excited to hear Darussia's speech, but his son was destined to save his life. She was trying to assume that she was not a goddess, saying she was not suitable for the adventurer profession.

Of course, I don't know "other ways of living". He was the one who failed to try again in the past.

It would have been different if I had at least a production job ... Simon's current job is [Swordsman] and his level is 10. Until the next job change, the level must be raised to 90.

In addition, Simon was struggling to keep up with the growth barrier.

Older friends tried to help him at least until he could make a job change, but he gained very little experience except in combat, and hit the wall and the level climb was slower than the turtle's walk I couldn't endure the double pains I had, and had to withdraw from Simon.

"At least, if I have the talent of a tamer like a bot, it may have been something without my talent, but this is just a way to do it. I'm sorry, but I've been using it for a while again since it's only a while. please"

"No, I'll lend you a hand if you want to start over. I felt so much in my mother's talk that I wanted to change my life."

But Vandalu did not try to receive a sword from him.

"Huh? Possibly an introduction as a tamer !?"

"No, that's impossible because you want to teach but you can't teach it. I'm helping you get your dominant arm back."

"My arm !? I'm more surprised that you are ... even if you know a good alchemist?"

In fact, Vandalu himself is a "good alchemist," but he left Simon to talk to Simon.

"Everything depends on your efforts and motivation, but I promise you will get the best."

Vandaloo had the feeling that Simon would regain his arm. It is not the use of the “Lambda” version of the universal cell, “The Origin of Life”, created by the hero Zaccato.

With that, Simon can certainly regenerate his arm. But in his case, too much time had passed since he lost his arm. It has completely forgotten that the brain was moving the right arm, and it has a function other than moving the arm if the necessary cells are missing or remain.

This requires a long rehabilitation for Simon to move his arm, even if he regains his dominant arm. Even in everyday life, regaining dexterity and strength in combat can be difficult in decades.

At the time of Belmond's tail, he was able to recover his brain, but ... because she was a vampire with high regenerative power. It's hard to do the same for race Simon's brain.

So I'm going to teach Simon the best secrets that can move the prosthesis.

"I don't need any special talents or qualities, all I need is just to believe in my word and follow it up until I get the result. I will. "

Simon was seriously listening to the less specific description of Vandaloo. He doesn't know much about Vandaloo, and this is the first time he has exchanged words for a long time. The Fangs, however, suggest that he is out of the ordinary, and he is the son of Darussia who, above all, decided to start over his life.

I was convinced that I wouldn't say anything bad.

"... I had to meet my parents and children, and I still had a dead life where I just managed to eat on a day job.

This Simon is boring.

Yes, as Simon finished, a big change took place in him.

It feels light as if the weight has disappeared from the body, and the head is clear and clear and the whole body feels full of power.

"Oh, oh !?-It's like a reborn as soon as you decide to follow you!-Now it seems like a wolf could jump off!"

Simon stands up and jumps on the spot. He was led to Vandalu at this moment.

Simon was impressed to hear Darussia's talk the day before, but at that time he was still out of Vandaloo's guidance.

This is because Darcia preached in the temple not Vandalu's views of life and values, but the teachings of Vida, the goddess of life and love, taught in the Border Mountains.

Just believing in Vida does not mean you have been guided to Vandaloo's Hades. Unless you decide to follow Vandaloo like Simon now or if you're not as attracted as the undead.

… So, the owners of the stalls who taught about steaming Gob Gob and Kobolt have already been led.

"I'm sure I've got a lot of energy. With that much, I'm going to do my best tomorrow."

Vandalou then scammed Simon with words similar to those of the shopkeepers who were surprised that she was led to improve her physical abilities.

“Of course! But what ’s going on tomorrow?”

"Yes, you have to get what you need ... because there's preparation for tonight."

However, it was Vandaloo who did not disregard the stalls.

The Vandaloos were rushing to save Simon with a wagon loaded with their prey. As a result, she returned to town before returning to town.

Simon worried that he was being devastated by another demon, but he seems to be fine.

"Did you use any magic? ... I don't know the bottom."

"one"

Simon awaits the Vandaloos and speaks to Fang, who has been ordered to escort her.

Fang knows that he did not actually use magic, he just let Chipras remain on the lookout of the cart, but he will not go into detail. …… Because it does n’t mean that you can speak human language even if you rank up.

By the way, although it is a fang who dislikes human beings, he seems to not feel hostile or excessive vigilance because he learns affinity and companionship to the existence guided by Vandaloo like himself.

The Fang himself interpreted it as a result of Simon becoming a different, non-human being, intact.

"It's not like you're a hellhound in a few days, but I've been able to change my way of life."

"One"

And for Fang, Simon was a first-time junior, so the response was soft. Encourage and sing as if saying, "I'm sorry, junior."

But the calm time ended with a sudden voice.

"Are you playing Hellhound? Apparently it's a skillful Tamer."

The Fang quickly rises to the voice heard without warning, protecting Simon. The voice's master ... Randolph nodded as he was impressed.

She was not commanded, sheltered her husband, but did not attack. Hellhound, known for its ferocity and ferocity, is well-stocked.

Yes, he misunderstood Simon as a tamer.

"No, no, I am--"

Randolph made a one-sided statement before Simon, who was puzzled by the sudden appearance of an adventurer-like man, responded with upset.

"Bad, I want to make one request. I want these two to be delivered to the Adventurer's Guild."

Randolph puts Natania and Yuliana, which had been floated by wind attribute magic, forward from behind to show Simon.

"Now !? This guy is terrible ..."

At first glance, they knew that they had no limbs, although their bodies were wrapped in cloth. Especially in the case of Juliana, even before Simon and Fang, there is no reaction that seems to be a reaction only by pointing at the empty gaze.

"Then the healing magician's practitioner is better than the adventurer's guild ... no, is the temple better?"

"Wait, calm down! The wounds are okay, I want you to take us to the adventurer's guild! I'm Natania, this is Julia ... yeah, I say Yulia. Actually-"

Natania shuffles into Simon, who is upset by the appearance of the two, who are more serious than she is.

Randolph watched it silently. Natania had been told to make Juliana known only to her name, "Julia," a woman she met while being arrested after being attacked by herds of minotaurs.

The Minotaur King is handled by the Dukes of Al Krem and the Master of the City Adventurer Guild, so there is no need to report to the Guild in the City of Moxy.

If they watched Simon accept a request as they were just victims of the unfortunate Minotaur, they were going to disappear.

But before Natania's story was over, Randolph felt cold as if ice had been poured into his back.

(This is ... a piece of the demon is reacting !?)

A small bottle of Orichalcum in front of her ... There is no parasitizing host, and the sealed fragment is reacting to something.

He looks up at the sky to see if "Homei God" was raised in the solar eclipse again, but there is no such appearance.

(What then ?! I know that [the Demon King's Fragment], who recently hijacked the host, is heading towards the border mountains ... but this is the Duke of Al Krem !! The sealed piece It shouldn't be close to the border mountains to react!

No, do you have time to think about the cause?)

Randolph's seal of the Demon King's fallopian tube is likely to be durable, but the seal of the old Demon King's fragment that Minotaur King was trying to use in the ceremony may still be broken.

If unsealed, the shards could target Hellhound and Simon as well as Natania and Juliana as hosts.

"Well, this is the request fee. This is a farewell to these two people. I asked!"

Randolph handed Simon a gem from the Minotaur and a few gemstones from the Minotaur Mage in exchange for a gift to the Natanas, and immediately flew to the sky with the wind attribute magic [flying].

"Wait for me! Suddenly ... Oh, I'm gone. What's wrong with that husband?"

"... What happened?"

Simon and Natania drop down to the ground, looking up at the direction Randolph flew away and staring at him stunned. Aside, Fang was quietly relieved.

He felt that Randolph was an overwhelming man. I was so tired that I couldn't even think of a fluent junior.

"Well, it's good to carry you to the adventurer's guild, but wait a minute. He's the master, what is my ...? Boss, teacher, teacher ... yes, I'll get you trained That's why I'm a teacher.

The teacher will come. "

"Teacher? Isn't this what you're trying to do?"

"Oh, it's coming soon-that's it!"

And Vandaloo and Marolul, each with a different cart, returned to replace Randolph.

"Oh, it looks like there was something. Can I ask you about the situation?"

"Yes, Master! In fact, an adventurer I just didn't recognize appears with them."

"I see. Natania and Juliana."

"What, what's your name?"

Natania has an astonishing look at what Vandalu has even spoken of, to herself, as well as the name of Juliana, whom no one would have said.

(I'm more surprised that when I came back, the number of disciples increased.)

"Let's listen to the rest of the story for the time being."

"Okay, I'll tell you whatever I can talk to, but this person is Julia. Don't give me the name Juliana.

Natania asks Vandalu so. He nodded.

"Yes, of course I can help .... I see, it was hard."

But Vandaloo's primary focus was not on Natania, but on the spirits who seemed to be knights and village girls floating around Juliana.

`` Please help Captain Juliana and her daughter who persuaded her not to be killed. ''

“Oh, I ’m an assistant. Kete, Kete, Tetetete ... "

"Ah, God ... God, assistant Kete ..."

"Okay, okay, please rest assured"

Vandalu nodded to Natania with the spirits. It was originally intended to help Simon. Only one person increases from dozens to dozens.

A female adventurer of the wildcat race. The grade is D. I haven't acquired any skills since I worked solo until now, but I've also gained the skills of a scout profession instead.

However, because there are no limbs, many skills cannot be used. It may take a long time for this to happen, and your brain may contract and lose skills such as agility.

By the way, the reason why Simon does not see the abnormal condition of one arm while she has a limb amputation condition is that it is too long since Simon lost her arm, and that the condition without the arm is normal. It is because it is recognized.

Mental collapse

The youngest sister of the current Duke of Al Krem. Already abandoned the right of succession, but he is a member of the dukes.

He belongs to the Knights and is in command of some units. When applied to the ranks of adventurer's guilds, their abilities reached class C, and they were looking forward to the future.

However, at present, all limbs are missing like Natania, and several minotaur king eggs are implanted in the uterus by [Maou's fallopian tube].

Since the shock caused the mental state to collapse, it is not known whether or not she will return to her former status even if she can recover her body.
