The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
244 episodes More spring plans
With the speeches of Count Isaac Maukey and the award of medals ending, the town became a festive day.
Awarded a dark elf and a medal to Dumpel. In addition, all joint priests of the communal temple, where not only the Vidas but also the gods of the Ardas are enshrined, are recognized as "Patron Saints in Transformation Orthotics".
These events will be inscribed in the history of the Orbaum election, not just the town.
However, only a handful of the people in the square have thought so far.
"Maybe ... I may have witnessed the birth of a new history."
A bard holding a cheap lyre with traces of repairs stood down and muttered.
"This is ... there's never been this. What should I call this?"
A woman dancing in a tavern, looking incredible, was looking up at a temporary stage set up in a hurry on the square.
They are more than just a handful. What they see is a chorus of hymns performed by the Darussias.
"" "" "
"Oh, wow, rah, lah!"
Darusia, Zadiris and Kanako, and Basdia and Melissa are singing and dancing in a transformed form.
The lyrics celebrate the courage and love of the people, while mourning the sacrifice of "The Nameless Heroes", telling them to smile and see them live for them with a smile.
Accompaniment is a collection of bard and exclusive musicians who usually play in the entertainment district.
None of them are new. There are many songs with similar lyrics. Musical instruments include string instruments such as lutes and lyre, drums and flutes, as well as anything else. The playing arm is also second-class at best.
The skill of the singing person is only one person, and the others are average ... No, there is one person like an amateur.
So the singing, dancing, and playing skills are not all that high.
However, the five people on the stage are "Mr. Magic Wand" and "Makeover Axe" in "The Virgin of Victory". The other two are also unknown, but have transformed.
Dark elves, elves, and ghoul heroes, and beautiful and beautiful girls sing and dance. The reason why there are so many audiences ... at least that is the reason.
However, the reason why the gathered people are not moving before the stage and cheering enthusiastically is different.
"Light music and bright lyrics. The dance is different from the tavern dance at the end of the hall, which attracts the audience while attracting the audience.
You can see that the dark elf girl is following the technically immature elf. But where does this sense of unity come from! ? "
"This is ... the audience! It's part of the stage by letting the audience put their hands together!"
"Is there any chance that the audience can cooperate on stage for free? This is a new form of music!"
Darusians and, to be precise, Kanako's idea, the crowd gathered to get in touch. Even the simple things such as clapping and stepping are performed by the entrapped Sakura, so that the audience who knows nothing can participate naturally.
A new form of music has been announced in the town of Morksey ... idols and live concerts that have influenced many people besides bards and dancers.
Among the aristocracy performers and those who are familiar with traditional music, there are celebrities who frowned and turned their eyes on "shameless" and "songs like fun" and sold their name after all. Some of them did not turn their attention to temporary attention.
But there was certainly someone interested in this new music. Of course, other than the musical reasons, some people were shocked and impressed.
"Let's ask for this hymn again!"
"Pola Priest, don't be afraid. The communal temple is a place of prayer open to all religions. Even though it's the savior of the town, it is arbitrarily operated solely by the Vidas."
"Well, Alman Priest. I don't mean that I'm running arbitrarily. I guess Darussia said," Please join us and welcome! "
"Muh, mhhhh !? Oh, that was certainly said, but ...!"
The same goes for Priest Paula of Vida and Priest Arman of Arda, who serve as communal temples in the town of Moxie, where statues of gods are erected and the gates are open to the public.
It's not just a sermon, just a hymn, and the audience can't underestimate the sense of unity that comes from participating in the performance. They both think the same thing, but in reality there was a fatal difference.
"But those who can sing that hymn and dance ...!"
Unfortunately, there were no humans in the town who could sing idol songs and dance choreography, including the Alman priests.
No, Priest Armand can sing a hymn, and if you practice the dance, you should be able to dance a little. However, Priest Armand is a 40-year-old man whose beard has accumulated and his jaw and belly lines have loosened.
To praise God for a middle-aged man who steps lightly and shakes his chin and belly, singing cute lyrics with a loud voice, and not technically so expensive. Will you be forgiven?
In Armand's values, absolutely no.
However, recruiting young women who are priests and followers was somewhat more resistant. In the first place, Darussia and others have clearly stated that they would not reconcile with the members of Arda.
That's why we won't be able to get any instructions on this hymn, so the only way for Armands to do the same thing is to look at their stage and remember and imitate.
Immediately imitating monkeys of other religions because they have received it. Isn't that too light as a supporter of the city's religion of Arda?
Such thoughts have confused Armands, priests of the gods of the Ardite sect.
"Sure, hold on to our Lady in the piggyback and hopefully we can go ahead!"
For this reason, other priests caught his mouth in place of Alman, who had been silent, but at best he hit his hatred mouth.
"Don't worry. I've heard of this hymn now, but I'm going to learn from Darussia and Kanako so that you can continue after you leave the town."
However, Priest also realized that the growing interest in the Vida religion was due to the influence of the Darcians rather than themselves. Therefore, there was an enthusiasm to learn from them.
In her case, unlike Armand, she seems to have no resistance because she is the same religion.
"I, the priest, will take the lead-"
"What, what !?"
"No, I wonder if it is impossible ..."
`` Pola Priest, the god of battle, Zelks, also says, `` Do not fight that you know will lose, do your best to win! ''
However, she never stopped standing on stage. Not only Armand, but also a priest of the same Vida god.
Priest Paula. I thought that I could still go, but the surroundings were thirty winters when I knew that the evaluation was not so.
(Sure, it's a bit tough if you leave it as it is. I think you need to devise your costumes, lyrics, and choreography to improve the shape slightly.)
Looking at these exchanges from the stage, Kanako thought. You can't hear the sound, but you can see what you're talking about by looking at your lip movements.
Also, because the stage was temporarily built in the square, the audience gathered was not so many in the sense of Kanako. The priests, who did not take part in the pretend and were slightly away from the other audience, became prominent in the sharpened vision of becoming a chaos elf.
(Aside from that, it was the harvest that proved that idols could be accepted not only in the new tribe of Vida, but also in human society. It seems that not all people ... but that is as expected. (As long as you give a lecture in this way, it will be difficult to crack down and suppress, so it will be OK)
In the "Earth" and "Origin", I was told that I was in shame or something in the early days of idols, and I heard that I could not do what I wanted. In the "lambda" world, that should not change. Because unknown things can inspire curiosity, and at the same time, they can also feel aversion.
But today, the Kanakos are recognized as Vida's followers in human society, mainly thanks to Darussia, and the idol song became a Vida hymn on this stage today.
If you try to suppress this from the front, you will suppress your faith in Vida. Even if there are hard-hitting people who will not accept anything but traditional music, it will be difficult to make such a decision in the Orbaum election that recognizes Vida religion.
(Speaking outside of the temple and other idol activities other than us, there will be another problem, but for now, this is fine.
(In countries where the religion of Vida is banned or in areas where power is not banned but weak ...
The border mountain range with Tarosheim and the Demon Continent alone are wide enough. Furthermore, thinking about developments in the Amid Empire and Dukes of Hartner is too far into the future.
(For now, I have to think about how to take Melissa's mood, which has now gone crazy on stage)
Kanako asked Melissa to get on the stage because regular members Zandia and the legion during the lesson could not get on the stage for various reasons.
It seems that it is not enough to think about something with unfamiliar songs and dances now.
Later, Kanako wanted to help them calm down.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
"Oh, oh, oh!"
"... I'm really a boss, why is my voice flat?"
"You're out of rhythm! Let's get along with me! Oh ~!"
Sakura mixed with a crowd raising his arms and cheering .... Bareballe, but Doug, Vandaloo, and Miles.
However, surprisingly, the guildmaster of the nearby magician's guild is paying attention to Miles, who is disturbing the pretense of being able to blend into the ordinary audience.
By the way, the lighting and direction of the stage are performed by [Zuhime magic], which Zadiris pre-chants, and [Light spirit magic], which has the light attribute of Vandaloo.
"Light! Wore! I ’m light !
Beerkert, the "Emperor's Mad Dog," screams in a spiritual form with Vandalu and a voice that can only be heard by his own undead. He's confused by himself and the light, but he's a man who controls the lights.
"I'm sorry, but ..."
"Hey, what are you, my knight's husband? Now I'm taking it as you see."
A knight with a seemingly embarrassed face talks to Simon, who is guarding the Fang and others.
"Is it okay to wait a little longer for a handshake or a signature? If you wait, the turn will come around."
Natanya nodds, saying so to the knight. In this world, there was also a culture where celebrities got handshakes and signs. It is a culture from a brave man who came from another world more than 100,000 years ago.
"No, I would rather tell your teacher. I want you to come to the meeting room on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild.
Of course, it's fine after the hymn is over! "
The knight, who told her about the matter, noticed that she was being called on the way, and hurriedly added to Vandaloo, who turned her gaze to herself.
He seems to have heard rumors based on the fact that a man forcibly entangled in Darussia fled so much of fear that he was just glared at Vandaloo.
After the talk, Vandalu came to the second floor meeting room of the adventurer's guild as the knight told him, leaving the stage cleanup and the care of Melissa, who had burned out of white due to both physical and mental fatigue. .
There, those in the dominant position of the town were waiting for him. As expected, there was no Countess of Moxie, but the commander of the Order and the master of each guild were on their behalf.
"Yeah, it was too much for the year."
To be precise, Rosell, the master of the magician guild who was cheering to Darussia at the front row of the concert, like Vendaloo, came in with him.
"It's absolutely. I understand that I'm crazy, but please restrain yourself."
"Well, I'm sorry. I've lost myself-wait, I'm not obsessed with the beauty of Darcias, the physical beauty of Basdia, and the cuteness of Zadiris!"
Roselle rushes to find an excuse, noticing the gaze of Vandalou looking up silently. Vandalou, who simply looked forward, decided to return.
"In other words, do you prefer Kanako or Melissa?"
"Certainly interested, but not! What I saw was a makeover that you made!"
It is likely that Rosell was in the front row of the audience, not to see the Darussias any closer, but because he was more interested in the makeover gear they are wearing.
Originally, Rosell knew that Vandaloo gave prosthetics to Simon and Natania, and thought that `` those who have not registered with the magician guild are making up magic item prostheses, '' and applying pressure on them I was looking for trends.
He was interested in the art of how he made magic limbs.
In fact, Simon's prostheses weren't magic items other than the latest, just metal prostheses. And the pressure from the magician's guild was not noticed, as it did not hinder the Bandarurus at all.
However, he intuitively saw how the orthotics were activated in the battle at the front gate, and how Simon and Natania fight with deformed limbs.
What they have is something that sets them apart from the magic items they know about ... at least what they call legendary magic items.
Rosell had no [intuition] skills, but his many years of experience in magic and alchemy gave the answer.
"After the battle, I performed an autopsy of the pirates and analyzed my belongings, and at the same time I examined whether the techniques of the magicians in the guild's guild could reproduce the transformative brace, but I couldn't say anything.
If you just change the color and shape by flowing magic, I can make it. But that's just a disguise magic item.
It seemed that the transformation equipment not only assisted in chanting spells, but also improved their physical abilities after transformation, and also showed exceptional performance as armor. And, apparently, it's mainly made of metal, not cloth or demons.
Rather than spending the rest of my life, it is impossible to create the same thing for hundreds of years. ''
"... If you can see it only after seeing it a few times, I don't think it's" I like you. "
Vandalou replied to Rosell, who talked long and cheerfully. In fact, transformational bracelets are easy to look confused because they look and direct. He could have analyzed so calmly in the town of Moxy.
However, Rosell did not seem to have received the words of Vandaloo.
"It's not just humility to stand up for me ... I'm ashamed that I took an arrogant attitude with the guise of being the head of the organization.
We sincerely apologize for the pressure. But why not join the Wizard Guild? ''
The fact that it was pressureless, though meaningless to the Vandaloos, is true. Rosell apologizes and solicits.
"Wait await! I'm the first to apologize!"
But before Vandalou answered Roselle, a man with a chobi beard caught his mouth.
"Joseph, a former subguild master, is sorry and I'm sorry as a boss! After another examination, it was clear that there was no problem with the stall management of Vandaluu, but that it was an excellent business I'd like to recommend you to register for a commercial guild, so thank you! "
The guildmaster, a commercial guild with a chobi beard, looked down and said, "Hey, he bowed down with prostrate momentum."
"... Um, maybe I was called?"
Looking at the head lowered toward him, he turns his gaze to the knight commander, who is the highest standing here.
"Um, I was ahead of the Roselles, but ... I was told that there was a group of people who had a request to Vandaluz Zakart who would like to ask for a request.
I'm acting on behalf of the Earl ... I wonder if I could call you back to the mansion at a later date, and it's bad for him to bow down in front of them.
"I don't mind ... but what serious thing does the lord have to bow to me?"
"No, it's not a dead end, and it's subtle when asked if it's serious ... but well, let's start with those who are dead end."
"Please! Please register! Otherwise, my neck will fly socially, aside from physicality!"
The face of the face, the commercial guild master of Chobi beard, repeatedly asks. Right now, he is not the most sought after in his position, not Vandalu, who is surrounded by adults more than twice as old.
He is not only pursued by sub-guild master Josef, but also by the fact that Gobgob is spreading around poor villages. It's a franchise deal that Vandalu is inviting slum stall owners.
It was a fatal wound that was made known to the headquarters of the Duchy of Alcrem Commercial Guild.
Headquarters interpreted what was happening in the town of Moxie, saying that `` temporary members who have been disadvantaged in the event of a guild side are trying to create a new organization different from the commercial guild. '' It seems.
He apparently judged the current guild master's management skills as "very doubtful." As a result, his social neck is in danger.
"I see what I mean, but don't stop at the street stalls on Vida?"
"Of course!-The problem is that the guild headquarters believes there is a gap between you and our commercial guild!"
Apparently, it seems that there is no problem if you only register in a commercial guild. Strictly speaking, there is no problem on the Vandaloo side, but if the misunderstood commercial guild headquarters tries to manage the situation, it may be troublesome.
Originally, the permanent registration with the commercial guild had been frequently urged since Joseph's case was cleared. The reason he did not do so was to maintain an excuse to stay in town in order to ambush incarcerated reincarnates.
Now that Hajime Fitun and his incarnators have been defeated, there is no reason to refuse. …… For now, one [super sensation] Kaor Gotouda has not yet appeared, but the fact that he has not yet appeared may have parted or escaped with the Murakamis. Either way, it is unlikely to appear in this town. It will be useless just to wait.
"Then ... Josef's job is to flush the water, and I look forward to honest work."
However, it cannot be said that Joseph was irrelevant, because we cannot explain the reincarnated. So, I decided to respond to the reconciliation with a reluctant attitude.
"Thank you! I will not be relegated. Now I will do the procedure at the commercial guild at a later date ..."
The commercial guild master sighed of relief and took the hand of Vandaloo and shook hands several times, then stepped out of the room saying, "Now I'm done."
"My business is the same as before, but what about?"
When the guildmaster of the commercial guild leaves, Rosell asks again.
"To join the Wizard Guild, do I need to be a disciple of a current union member or need a letter of recommendation?"
"I will write a letter of recommendation.
Of course, because I joined, I wouldn't say anything unreasonable to teach me how to make a transformation brace. The magician guild, unlike the craftsman's guild, is not an organization that shares and enhances techniques. Magicians and alchemists have their own secrets. ''
Vandaloo recognized the Wizard Guild as a magic school or research institution, but in fact it seems that members have more freedom.
They share their knowledge properly, but only their disciples teach them esoteric or secret techniques. So, if you want to learn the secrets of another person, look at them or steal them or make your own. If you can't do that, you'll either have to offer a deal, or give thanks and be a disciple.
"And even if I was taught how to make that makeover, I don't think it's easy to imitate. Is it the secret of a dark elven elder, or is it involved in mystery?"
Rosell seemed to have misunderstood that the "secret of the elves of the dark elves", which he crafted to falsify a report he later made with witnesses in the battle with Hajime Fitun, also applies to makeover orthoses.
In fact, it's more natural to think that a magical item was taught by a dark elven elder with a life span of a thousand years, rather than developed by a boy who has lived a little over a decade.
(And even if you really taught how to make it ... it would be impossible)
Transformation bracelets are manufactured using various processes such as adding liquid metal copper and dead iron to metal fibers with the skill of [Golem creation], and imparting shape memory properties. Since the main materials, copper and dead iron, do not exist in nature, there is no help in asking how to make them.
"Okay, but I have a question about the registration process."
"It's about guild cards and stats. If you make a guild card based on a commercial guild card, no one can see your status. Please rest assured."
Sorcerer guilds and craftsman guilds are more difficult to register than other guilds. It is customary for the person who is the teacher or the recommender to look closely while the member is being apprenticed.
"I see.-
"After that, we'll be the same, but the business is the same for all three."
"... I'd like to have an adventurer registration too, because the status is flexible."
Vandalu was a little surprised by the words of Tamer Guild Master Bachem, who had been silent until then, and Adventurer Guild Master Belard.
I'm worried about seeing my status because I was out.
"No, not everyone notices. I suppose that avoiding registering with the adventurer guild so far would be the way to say it. Until now, I don't want to see my status, so don't register with the adventurer guild. It seems they were some people.
...... It's not a rare thing, so it took me some time to notice. "
Verard explained to Vandalou, who blinked his eyes. And so on.
"I know it's a dumpy, so maybe there's a tricky unique skill or something, and that's the problem ... I don't think about it, I don't know if I ask. ''
"I can help, but is that okay as the head of the organization?"
"It's not good! I don't think it's good ... but it's not a mystery that we can somehow know. It's also a remedy to not hit the bush."
All of the Vandaloos' mysteries, including Earl Isaac Moxy, who were not present at this stage, agreed that they would not pursue any more.
In any case, the guild's master and one of the Earl's will be left behind.
Of course, examining them and telling them to the headquarters or to the duke would be the original correct form, but it is unlikely that anything could be considered.
Bachem was convinced that he had no idea what the world needed to know, and he went straight to the subject.
"Well, that's the main subject, but I'd like to visit Al Krem, the capital of the Duke of Al Krem, once and meet the Master of the Tamar Guild HQ. Whatever I am ... And I want to make you a key guild position. ''
"... Congratulations, but I would like to refuse. Why do I, as a member, suddenly have a guild role?"
"It's because the ranks of the monsters that they are aiming for are high.
Apparently the recent Tamer Guild has a strange principle that the Tamer who is taming strong and rare monsters is great. Certainly, the strength of the monster you're aiming for is important. But that's not all. Recent top management has lost sight of it. ''
Bachem seems to have complained about the values of the recent Tamer Guild. He is groaning with his fist.
On behalf of Bachem, the commander of the knight shouted with a subtle look.
"Later, this is from the Earl-sama ... An Invited Tea Party has been unofficially invited from His Excellency, Duke of Al Krem.
"Is it about Juliana?"
"Um. I don't think it's going to be radical, but ... it's difficult for us to ignore."
He was offered an invitation with a distinctive crest, not the duke's crest. Perhaps, if you show this to the Dukes' guards, they will get through.
"The Duke of Al Krems has stated that he is an Alda-friendly, and the treatment of Vida's new race in the Duke territory has changed significantly in recent years. But ... "
"I understand"
He seems to be explaining with caution, but the more he listens, the more he is disturbed by the knight commander, and he receives an invitation.
Originally it was a purposeful stay, so I was going to leave the town of Moxy. He was more involved with the people of the town than he had originally planned, so he simply couldn't go away.
And leaving is not eternal. The purchased house and the dungeon made underneath it will be left as they are, so you can always come by [Transfer].
There are franchise stalls, security guards, orphanages, and revived Vida religion. These must be maintained. The orphanage could simply move to Tarosheim.
So it was just right to head to Al Krem, the capital of the Duke of Al Krem.
Return to Tarosheim for the necessary schedule and ripen the parade and paperwork, then move to Al Krem by [Transfer]. Talk to the Duke of Al Krem to avoid worrying about Juliana anymore, and refuse the Tamer Guild.
That's it.
However, Juliana brought surprise news to Vandalu, returning home.
"I understand the meaning of the oracle, Vandalu-sama!" It seems that the great goddess is sealed in a somewhat unpleasantly colored jaw (Agito) at the same position north and south from here! "
"I see. In some places, it's unclear, so I'll examine it later .... Transferring it in the oracle would mean breaking that seal. So what is equal to North and South from here?"
"I do not understand!"
It turned out that the deal was much more important than going to Al Krem.
