The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Natalya was brought to the adventurer's guild of the town of Morksey and arrived with help from Simon.

"I'm done with Juliana's consultation and treatment. What about my mother, mysterious eyes?"

"I'm sorry, it was impossible to regenerate the limbs with [Evil Eye of Regeneration]. If bones and pieces of meat remain at least ... but it's okay, whatever you do in Vandalu Will give you "

"Bochan, we'll do the preparation."

"I just cut the meat and put it on a skewer. The gobgob and kobold meat to be handed over to the chain is ready. "

Vandalu, who muttered something at the pillow of Yuliana who fell asleep and touched her stomach that had become so large that she had been exercising some magic for a while. Meanwhile, Darussia took care of herself. And two strange maids like sisters wearing armor.

"Then, while listening to the story, I will say measuring ... or let me touch the muscles."

And a ghoul woman who is considered to be the top class of zombies in human society called Tarea. She was brought in by spatial attribute magic by an elf girl named Gufadgan, who had been around a while ago.

The inside of the house is full of surprises, which is what Natania has to call the extravaganza.

"Oh, oh, please."

But Natania was not afraid or anxious, but a strong sense of the strange security he had learned from Darussia and most importantly from Vandalu. At the same time, he swallowed his saliva, knowing that he could not go back.

Back in time, when the Natanias enter the town of Moxy.

Perhaps the duke of Al Krems has reached the town, wondering if Juliana has really died.

Natanya was worried about her, but she was able to pass through the gate without any particular identification.

The guards were surprised to see Fang rank up on Hellhound, but the next time he noticed the situation of Natania and Juliana, he understood that "this is more important!" Of course, they were asked to explain why the two had their limbs amputated, but that was done shortly.

"Minotaurs!? ......... I'll hear the explanation later from the adventurer's guild, so go ahead. Bad, but they don't show up much."

Minotaurs are at least rank 5 demons. If it's still in a dungeon or a magical area, but it's a victim elsewhere, it's a big deal.

If the minotaur forms a herd, it is also a threat to large cities such as Moxy. As a result, Natania and Juliana were not heard of any name, and the townspeople were wrapped in cloth to keep them up-and-coming, and were able to reach the adventurer's guild as a mere injured person.

The fact that Marols did not notice that the fur was up because the fur was in a normal state and that Aggar and his friends were not present may have contributed to the quickness of the story .

In the adventurer's guild, the situation was explained not to the reception counter but to the guildmaster Belard through the meeting room on the second floor.

"That means ... caught by the minotaur swarm, but an adventurer named Ralph destroyed the swarm and helped you?"

The tension on the guildmaster's face, however, eased as soon as he knew that the minotaur herd had already collapsed.

It's no wonder that the beard that keeps the adventurer's guild in this town pays more attention to the threat of the minotaurs than to the natanians.

"What about Ralf's adventurer, what else do you know? A guild grade, a town you're usually based in. If you're an adventurer who is capable of annihilating the minotaur herd on its own, what's the name? I must have heard of it. "

There are many hero candidates who have received God's blessing since last year, but not so many around the town of Moxy. On the contrary, Belard felt recently that their range of activities was far from the town of Moxy.

Fortunately, it would be nice if this meant that there were no threats around the town for the hero candidate to receive the blessing and oracle of God, but the minotaur swarm is not a threat to the hero candidate Do you? I can't help thinking so.

"Well, he didn't tell me in detail. I think he was a racial guy, around the age of thirties."

"I didn't find any special features, but I think it's pretty good at speaking."

Natanya, who is not actually a minotaur swarm but a hiding minotaur king swarm, replied to Belard with a cold and sweating mind.

She wasn't completely confident she could deceive the eyes of Verard, a former adventurer.

"Hmm ... lightly dressed, spirit magician, Ralph ...?"

But Verard was more conscious of his own thinking than of Natania. This is because Ralph, the mysterious adventurer, was wondering if he was "true" Randolph.

The name Ralph is a pseudonym for Randolph. Although the race seems to be race, it is easy to hide that you are an elf by disguising your ears with magic items for disguise.

And if you raise a giant pattern that will destroy the minotaur herd alone, and become a silent adventurer ... only one person will ever notice Belard.

(But even if it's true, it doesn't make sense to pursue. If you're a guildmaster at the head of the Duke of Al Krem, you'll know something, but when I ask, I'll only say, "Forget about that." .

And if Randolph has moved, it's likely that duck, marquis, and other unusual people are involved. ... Speaking of that, she says she is Julia ... I feel like the youngest sister of the Duke was a knight named Juliana)

Verard, who turned his head at a high speed, decided to stop thinking, "Okay, stop thinking more!"

He is not a noble but a guild master who manages the Moxy Branch of the Adventurer's Guild. More even no less. If you do poorly, your curiosity that even a tiger is likely to be killed is abandoned and work is given priority.

"Well, no matter who Ralph is, there may be some Minotaurs who fled. We need to report to the lord and alert the adventurers. Thanks for the valuable information."

"Oh, I'd be glad if it helped, and those guys who made me a decoy--"

"It's a party called 'The Blade of Flame.' Of course we will investigate and take appropriate measures.

Verard knows nothing about Flameblade, which may only be one of the many D-class adventure parties. When I heard the name, I wasn't in the town of Moxy, but I just thought it was probably the name I had given to the famous "Five-colored blade".

It's been remembered a few years ago that it wasn't easy to name the party a blade.

However, Verad thought that if the trick he had heard from Natania was true, he would be a vicious and unscrupulous person who did not qualify for The Five Colored Blades.

You can't blame if you just forsake your fellow Minotaurs. At the same time, there were several rank 5 monsters in the D-class adventurers, who could only make a party in a party. It is only reckless to attempt to help.

However, it is too much to attack the fellow female adventurer's leg and intentionally use it as a decoy, even though it is young. It may have been that the casualties just increased if they escaped, but they are too bad to be evacuated.

"An adventurer is not an arm; it is a business that relies on trust. Because adventurers adhere to the rules, we can be armed throughout the city, and even merchants ask for escorts. We will tell them. You'll have to first contact the guild in the town where you were working and look for adventurers of Flame Blade, though it may take some time.

And it's impossible to fall into death penalty or criminal slavery. You will be satisfied with the penalty for promotion and the compensation. ''

"... I know that."

"why?"

Nataña nodded at Belard's words, but nodded, while Vandaloo, who had been whispering something in the middle of Juliana's ear, caught her. He and Simon, who seemed uncomfortable, were passed through the meeting room.

"Shi, master, there is something that can be translated into a guild ...!"

"Even though it's clear what they'll see if they get caught, they feel like they're being overly punishable by those who intentionally hurt their legs and use them as decoys. I don't know who the other members of the party called The Blade of Fire are, but I don't think they were all faster than her. "

Regardless of Simon trying to stop, Vandaloo continued.

If "Flare of Blades" is in danger, I suppose that Natana was thrown away as a stone and joined him. Vandaloo was skeptical after talking to everyone.

"Why do you know why I'm a fighter?"

She was surprised because she talked to Olbia and Princess Levia ghosts, who were mostly invisible to Natania, and spirits.

"I also have [Martial Arts] skills, so I thought that would be the case with muscles. Look, your nails can grow too."

"Wow, it's true ... was it your damp peel ?! I saw it for the first time. There are really claws."

"Oh, it's definitely sharper than a bad knife. Could you show me a little closer for later study?"

"Guildmaster, the story is off track"

Verad, staring at the brutal claw that extends from Nanda's thin finger with Natania, was told by Simon to fix his panic.

"Because we adventurers guilds are not a judicial body, unless we have a bounty, bandits, robbers, etc., we can't judge people on our own and we don't have the power to make them criminal slaves.

And adventurers always take responsibility for whatever happens. ''

Natana, who was blind at first glance because of her own responsibility, is also responsible. That's what it is.

"But the penalties and fines for promotion aren't light penalties. The fines are very expensive for D-class adventurers, and what they can't pay for right now is debt from the guild. The fines squeezed from them will be paid to Natania via the guild.

And if it's rumored that he has dumped his fellow woman against Minotaur, no one likes it. There will be no more casualties. ''

Belard says that Flameblade has a lot of debt to the guild, so in a sense it's the same as being put to life by a laborer.

"I see ... I put an extra mouth."

"No, it's good. So the story changes ... Natana, what are you going to do now? Even if you add up the amount of magic stones you bring in and the fine you squeeze from the Blade of Flame, you'll eat for the rest of your life It ’s not enough for me. If you buy a magical prosthesis and a prosthesis, you ’ll be able to fight well… ”

Verard started talking with Natania and about the future of Juliana. Care for adventurers who could not continue their adventures was also part of the adventurer's guild.

However, it was not perfect, but it was a detailed matter, such as arranging day labor work that even adventurers like Simon who lost their arms could do.

"That's ... bad, would you please introduce me? Yes, there's a place to introduce something like me."

Natania, whose life seems to be weaker than before, asked him to sigh. He heard that sanctions would be imposed on the Blade of Flame that betrayed him, and at the same time seemed relieved and his dynamism waning.

"Okay, let me introduce you to the best possible places."

I can't go on an adventure. But there is no savings, no job and no learning. One of the places that the guild introduces to such female adventurers is the prostitute.

"But what do you do, Julia?-I've contacted Tamarguild, but ... unfortunate master Bachem is out of town this morning for work, and estimates are likely to come later."

However, Yuliana, who is supposed to be a village daughter Julia who was attacked and captured by Minotaur before Natania, is out of the scope of the guild.

However, he had contacted Tamar Guild, who was buying the pups of the impregnated demon.

"I'm going to take care of Julia because I don't have a family. It's because of this person that I'm sane now."

"Okay. As soon as Bachem returns, let's hurry up and buy the offspring."

"No, you don't have to."

"I see. If you don't need it, don't introduce me ... Who's talking now?"

"Mr. Juliana! Are you able to speak now?"

As Verard and Natania gaze surprised, Juliana nodded back at them with her shining eyes.

"Natania, you, everyone, and this person have saved me from death and have come back from madness. Thank you, do not forsake me."

"I don't have that, because you encouraged me too ... oh, it was good! I'm really Juliana!"

Natania rejoices in tears when Juliana recovers suddenly. He hasn't noticed that Juliana's behavior is partly strange yet.

"What's better than what you've recovered, but what isn't necessary? ... If it's so big, I think abortion is dangerous."

Verard, on the other hand, was acting unaware of Natalia's name of Juliana, and asked about her statement.

"I just mean it. I talked to everyone, I left everything to the goddess ... I left it to him."

"I'm not a goddess, but I've been entrusted."

Apparently, Dumpel's boy, Vandalu, is supposed to be escorted.

"What time !? No, but is it okay to do that ?!" It is Minotaur pups born !? "

"I'm a regular member of the Tamer Guild,"

"Yeah, there is certainly a qualification ..."

Devil pups are purchased at the Tamer Guild, but there is no rule that union members should not go personally.

"In addition, it ranks demons of rank 4."

"And there's a proven track record ... there's a job, she owns a house, she has her own will. She's just a victim, she's not a criminal or a slave, she has no family. ... I have no reason or authority to stop.

Hahaha, yeah, like it. "

"It's that easy ..."

Simon is striking with the rapid development, but everything is as Bellard said, with a dry laugh.

"But I don't have to talk to the bag?"

"Yes, it's better to talk to your parents. It's not easy to have one person and a Minotaur pup."

"I'm OK with my mother, because I understand."

In fact, Chipras has already reported to Darussia a little earlier, but Vandaloo said so and fooled the Belards.

"That's right, it's a great understanding, your mother. Then, Natania-

"Well, are you with me too?"

Verard was trying to get back to Natana's future, but there was something unexpected going on for him.

"Yes, Natania. He promised to help you. He will always give you new limbs.

So let's go to the Goddess together. ''

In a short while Verard talked to Vandaloo, Juliana had persuaded her to go to Natania.

"I'm not a goddess, but what she says is true. I'm not a god."

"In the Minotaur's nest, we encouraged each other. Do you remember what I was saying at that time? No matter how painful, don't flee to death. If you don't give up hope, God will surely Will respond.

And the goddess ... Vida responded. "

However, the content of the persuasion was quite fanatical.

"Yes, no, I do remember, but ... I don't think God is such a child ... I think it's a man."

"I think so, but she doesn't listen, even though she says it's important."

The voice of Vandalu, who should have been a "goddess" in her own words, has also arrived or seems suspicious, and Natania, who is being persuaded, turns blue with confusion.

"But the master has promised me that if I believe and follow her, I'll give me the skills to manage my arms."

However, Simon said that Natania was persuasive in the words of Juliana.

"I see ... I'm going with me ... Sure, there's nothing out of this child."

Or maybe he just gave up.

"Yes, it's the best of all, and I'm sorry for the procedure."

Watching the situation, Verard couldn't hide his mouth twitching.

At first glance, Juliana, whose expression and consciousness have returned, seems to have returned to sane. However, isn't it actually just a change from a junk to a madman? Verard, who had seen her eyes, didn't think so.

He was convinced that the cause was Vandaloo, who had been whispering something in her ear.

(... I was going to invite him to join the adventurer's guild just to sign up once the story has settled down, but ... I should have watched it a little more. It may be a pretty dangerous person.)

With that in mind, Verard stepped out of the conference room to perform the various procedures.

After leaving the adventurer's guild, parting from Simon on the way, Natania was taken to Vandalu's house ... Vandalu and the others gave a brief explanation of what they were.

It seemed like Vida's incarnation, the successor to his son, Zaccato, and in his head, but he managed to survive.

"Natanya, why do you tell such a secret to you?"

"I know, there's no way out, so I'm prepared for it."

`` I'm misunderstanding Vandalou, Darussia, this girl. ''

"I don't think so, just because I take care of myself at home, it's going to be a lot different, so I thought it would be better to talk in advance."

Darussia explained that Natania, whose tail was inflated from tension, was calming.

"Natanya, help you ... There are several ways to get the same or better than when you had the five bodies together. I'll explain that now, so please choose.

First, transplant a preserved female vampire's limbs and mutate it into a vampire after suffering severe side effects. "

Unlike Simon, she hasn't had a long time since she lost her limbs, but her limb-related parts haven't shrunk yet. Transplanting the limbs of the original vampire, Tennessee's Life Dead, will allow it to move.

However, if you do most of these transplants, you can't be just a beast. Vandalu uses the magic of [Death Delay] to delay dying, so he never dies. But in the worst case, they will turn into vampires, suffering from the side effects they want to die more.

"Huh, is there any other way? -

"No, there's just a way to put on the magical prosthesis or hand. If you want to make it, we can make that much."

Vandaloo has 10 Alchemy skills. By gathering the materials, you will be able to make artificial hands and legs that move like real limbs.

"I think this is the easiest thing, but I don't know if I can fight it."

"... I guess it might be, but that would leave you taking care of me. I couldn't hear the details, but Juliana will give you back. If I could help I want to return as much as I can.

If possible, I'd like that Simon to get the same training as him. ''

But Natania's will was strong.

"I see. Let's do our best together."

He said that, but he didn't talk about "the roots of life." I decided to help, but the Origin of Life was created by Zachart, who had the ultimate in life attributes. It is a valuable material that cannot be created even by Vandalu.

You can't really use it for Natania's limbs.

Later, another method I did not talk about is pseudo-incarnation. In the case of Natania, he thought that he would not choose from the beginning because he would die like Quinn and be reborn as a new body.

If I talked poorly, I was afraid of being misunderstood.

"So let's just start this day, because in your case you need more than Simon."

"Okay, what can I do--what's this ??, something comes into me !?"

The next day, the Vandalus who left town were not magical, but were in a suitable grassland away from it.

"Does the teacher need to hunt for ingredients? Is there any leveling for this guy?"

"I'm okay," replied Simon, worried about that.

Ingredients are already stocked at home for several days just because they have been preserved with [keeping fresh]. Goblin meat to make gob gob, Kobolt meat for steaming.

However, steaming roasted gobgob and kobold meat has already gained a reputation, and it may disappear sooner than expected.

There is a stall with a heart mark that seems to cook delicious goblin and Kobold meat, which was a representative of the unsavory and inedible monsters. Such rumors are flowing outside the red-light district.

Yesterday, an adventurer who heard the rumor came to the back alley of the red light district to find a stall and bought it as a test of courage.

"If you run out of goblin or Kobold meat, don't worry, you'll need to ask the adventurer's guild."

"Oh, that's ... if I had limbs, I might have been there too."

"If I was about a goblin, I might have tried it."

If you bring goblin or Kobold meat, buy it. With such a request, the less experienced and less skilled adventurers would have been happy to hunt goblins and Kobolts.

After all, goblins are weak and numerous. There is no good magic stone, no material, and usually only 5 baum at one ear of the proof of suppression. It's an unpopular offer.

But selling that meat would be a valuable source of income for inexperienced adventurers.

"And it's the leveling of the Fang, but ... it's time to rank up on the level alone, so let's spend some time learning how to move and promoting skills."

Fangs have changed from large dogs to cows, and Marols have become larger and can change the nature of their fur. Therefore, it was necessary to get used to the new body.

In order for demons to rank up, you need skills as well as levels. For example, if a black goblin wants to become a black goblin ninja, it is necessary to acquire the skills necessary for scouting profession such as [Sneaking Feet] and [Trap] besides raising the level, etc. .

But the Fang's skill level is lower, as they have defeated monsters of equal or higher rank, gained a lot of experience, and have been ranked up rapidly. Therefore, voluntary training was assigned today.

"Garuru Lulu!"

"New!"

"Wow!"

"Kiiii!"

Hellhound's Fang and the iron rat Suruga play a fierce ballistic battle, with the fire rat Marol and the wet rat Urumi hitting the flames and chills of their fur.

"And it doesn't look like training."

"That's okay!"

Simon and Natania are so upset about seeing Fang's training as they do, but it's OK. Invisible to them, Princess Levia and Olbia are watching over.

"And I don't know if there was another Julia or Juliana, but I was worried that he wasn't there ..."

"I'm okay with Julia. She's in my house because I'll do my best in a different way from you.

So Simon will put on this as I begin my training. ''

Speaking to Simon, Vandalu gave him a practice "arm" that he had on a cart.

At first glance, it looks like just removing the right arm of the full body armor and attaching a belt to wear it on the body.

"Hey, I understand!"

Upon receiving it, Simon believed and wore Vandalu as promised without any doubt.

"I'll check, how about the size?"

"Yes, the length of the belt is just right ... then it sticks firmly to the cut on my right shoulder and won't rub. It looks like I adjusted it to my right shoulder.

Master, I made this one day! ? No way, expecting this to happen before long ...! ? "

"No, I can't imitate such a foreseeable future. I just went back home yesterday and made some adjustments using only the armor of the appropriate armor."

With yesterday's treatment, Vandaloo remembers Simon's body shape with Complete Recording. Based on that, it was processed with [Golem Creation], and the part in contact with the shoulder was adjusted with Tarea to make the "arm".

"It was made in time for practice. As the training progresses, we will give you more convenient" arms "so please look forward to it."

In the meantime, Vandalu wears Natania with the same "arms" and "legs" that she gave to Simon.

"I'm going to start my training, so come Simon here. Sit next to her and accept whatever you feel."

"Hey, but what should I do after training?"

He advises Simon, who believes but cannot help but feel confused, with a glance at Natania.

"You don't have to do anything at first, but if you remember, that's fine."

"What do you want to remember ?!"

Simon tries to say something while hesitating, but she loses her words because she has a strange feeling of foreign bodies.

No pain, no heat or cold. However, it is clear that only the foreign body has entered the body and is "pushed".

"Well, what's going on my body, what's going on ...?"

"Wow, I'm still not used to it for the second time!"

Simon opens his eyes to the sensation of not knowing what to say, and Natania inflates his tail to endure.

"Don't be afraid, just ... just as it is ..."

And Vandalu raised his spirit from his hands touching his back, and "pushed" the spirit that dwelled in their bodies.

Simon is trying to push a part of the body out of the right shoulder, and Natania is trying to push a part of the body out of the cut.

To allow them to acquire [Spirit] skills, so that they can move inanimate arms and legs like their limbs like living armor type undead.

It is almost impossible for a living person to acquire the [spirit] skill, which is essentially exclusively for the undead. The living human spirit body stays in the body and does not go outside, and in the first place there is no point in acquiring the [spirit] skill by the living.

In order for the two living people to remember it, it is necessary to have them learn the feeling of taking out a spirit from the body. And once you can take a part of the body out of your body on your own, all you have to do is train yourself to move your arms and legs.

If you can do that, you have a new limb that works as you wish.

(I wish I could be taught in a dream like at Vigaro ... I'll be able to change jobs soon, so let's be the [Music] next time.)

Then you might be able to control a little bit of your dreams. With that in mind, Vandaloo kept pushing the two spirit bodies.

Metallic fur can be directly ejected as a needle-shaped flying tool. However, you need to be careful because the more hair you eject, the less hair you have and the lower your defenses until you regenerate it.
