The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

In March, the calendar is already spring, but the Duke of Al Krem, like the Duke of Sauron, is also north of the Orbaum election. It is separated from the icy North Sea by a mountain range, but snow may fall even at this time, probably because part of the mountain range has become a magical site.

But the Duke's capital, Al Krem, is a vibrant metropolis. It did not change that day.

"I can't believe it. The town is as usual, but the threat of the Demon King is approaching."

Private room at the back of the bar. One of the three people gathered there, listening to the hustle and bustle of the drunks heard from behind the wall.

"Carlos, don't say anything rare. What will you do if someone asks you, no matter how busy you are?"

"Don't worry, Hendriksen. You probably don't know, but the wall of this private room is a magic item with a mechanism that allows the outside sound to pass through but not the inside sound. Outside drunkards I can hear the song, but we'll sing it out loud, trying to overthrow the state, but outsiders won't hear it. ''

Carlos called the young blonde who accused himself of his remark, Hendriksen, and then laughed, "Do you want to sing a song?"

"No, are you going to pollute Miss Edilia?"

"I don't think it's dirty, but it's another time to show off your throat. Let's get into the subject."

The last member of the trio, a sorceress with her chestnut hair stretched to her shoulders, says so and urges her to return to the subject.

"That's right. Well, but immediately ... I received the oracle this morning."

"Is it again. Your God seems to be overprotective ... but I am too."

"It's weird to say something strange. I am the same."

Carlos, Hendriksen, and Edilia. The three were adventurers working in the Al Khrem, each being a candidate hero who was blessed by another deity.

Carlos was Rubikante, the god of heat haze, which was Zantak's subordinate god.

Hendriksen is Elk, the goddess of the Holy Spear, allegedly found in Bellwood as a subordinate god of Arda.

Edilia is the subordinate god of Nine Road, the "string god", Hilshem.

The three are each given blessing but are not members of the same adventure party. It was by chance that they came together.

They are competing but not hostile. Comrades are the ones who hone their skills to compete against the Demon King warned by the gods.

However, it is hard to say that his personality is compatible. You can become a friend but not a friend. However, they were holding this meeting to share information.

"The three of them were almost at the same time. After all, stay away from here for a while, and pray to God who says something about Rod."

When Carlos asked, Hendriksen and Edilia nodded.

"I lead my companion to 'a place,' and pray and name the godly entity that I have never heard of, but I was in the oracle not to tell anyone.

I was confused as to what happened because it was the name of a god I never really heard of. And I can't tell you about a certain place. "

"I'm similar."

In fact, there were others in Al Krem who seemed to be blessed by the gods. However, the other three hero candidates were traveling from Al Krem with their friends from the end of last year to the beginning of this year.

At the time, the three had given oracles away from God.

But the three rebelled against the oracle. There are different reasons, such as being unable to give up the request you have, or refusing to allow your pride to escape if you are protected by God.

One month later, two months have passed, and in the third month the gods couldn't wait, or they had a second oracle.

"I see. I'm going to put the god on the shelf, Lodcorte, but this time we'll escape our party.

After examining the contents of the oracle, we can conclude that the threat of the Demon King is imminent, not to the town, but to us individually. ''

"I knew about Rhodocorte that he was a god. I prayed, singing its name, as in the oracle, and I was blessed. But I don't know what God was after all. But

And ... I was encouraged to leave Alcrem, so I'll follow this time. "

Hendriksen, who heard the story of Carlos and Edilia, nodded.

"I'm also going to do a strategic withdrawal this time ... unfortunately, this meeting is likely to be the last."

If a threat is imminent, it is their duty to stand up and fight for those who know nothing, protected by the gods. Carlos and his colleagues remained in Al Krem for some reason.

However, the appearance of the "Maou's Threat" imagined by the three of them is far from clear. There seems to be a monster runaway in the town of Moxy, but it has already been defeated.

Still a crisis in the town, but far from the Demon King's Threat.

However, the oracles were issued a second time by the gods. Apparently, "The Demon King's Threat" is really imminent, but I guessed that the threat was probably to those who had the protection of their gods and decided to flee all three this time It is.

"Speaking of which, what do you think of the four-quarters that have been making the Adventurer's Guild uproar recently? It's suspicious and noticeable, and you're having trouble with some adventurer parties."

"Oh, the habit that I registered a few days ago is a strangely strong and suspicious foursome ... no, three or one person. Isn't Arthur the leader?"

Carlos pulled out of memory the rumors of a recent trip to the adventurer's guild and a party that Edilia talked about.

Rumors include a strong swordsman, Arthur, a beautiful but dark and keen goddess Callinia, and the eerie dwarf sorcerer Borzofoy. And it is a party of a simple girl who seems to be swinging around.

It seems that he came out of the countryside, rubbing with the adventurer party involved on the day registered in the adventurer's guild, surprised by hunting many high-ranking monsters that newcomers could not hunt , Is rumored.

"It doesn't matter.

It looks strange, and the countrymen who had the power before registering with the adventurer's guild and the girl who is swung around by it. That's it. ''

"That's right. Even if you say you're messing around with other adventurers, it's just like you're entangled in a guy who's just like Gorotsuki."

However, they are not doing anything wrong, and there is nothing suspicious about their conduct. Also, it seems that he has an outstanding ability, but it is far from the kind that the gods may call the devil and fear.

"Yes. I don't think they're demon kings or devil's minions. I just think we're under the blessing of God like we are."

"Bless you ... I think it's possible, but ..."

The only criterion that God gives blessings is that the giver is not sure. Hendriksen is no different. There must have been many believers and believers who were more religious than themselves. So why did you, not them, give birth to Elk? He does not know the will of the goddess.

There seems to be a clear reason on the part of the blessing gods ... an area that is beyond human understanding.

So it's no wonder that Arthur, a slightly poor looking redneck, can offer God's blessing.

"I see that potential is small. Now that we and all the gods are urging us to leave the Alklem, they've come to the Alklem. "

"It's ... surely."

However, given the current situation, Edilia and Hendricksen nod in spite of Carlos's claim.

"Which way we don't meet them directly, because we're out of town tomorrow.

Where are you going? `` I'm going to see a new music release recently at Moxy, so I'm going to see it. ''

"It's strange, I'm Moxie too. I heard rumors that a new dungeon was created, so I'm going to see it when I see it, and I'm interested in Gobgob's original stall!"

"... I still like things. Going to eat goblins, even if I'm not hungry."

By this time, Rubikante and Hirschem, who had given the oracle to avoid Vandalu, would have shouted, "No! I don't!", But Edilia and Carlos could not reach that shout.

Returning from a dungeon named "Garles Battlefield", the Vandaloos have reported to the guild, and the day after Kanako and Simon have been promoted to class C, they will leave for Al Krem.

"It's kind of emotional."

The guard who performed the procedure at the gate was Kest, a novice guard of the Wolf ethnic race.

All the guards and knights who took part in the battle at the main gate had their job changed, so they all said "all were equally active." As a result, it seems that no particular person would have succeeded greatly.

However, Kest is an exception, and it is said that the word "new rice" was removed and treated as a regular guard. The salary was a little higher, and it was just fine that it was no longer seen below in the Guard. But it's a big change for Kest himself.

I am confident that they confirm their identity and fill out the documents.

"It's about 10 days each way to Al Krem. I'll be careful on the way, although I haven't appeared recently around this town, but bandits ...

"Well, nothing has to be careful ..."

Vandalou turned his gaze to Kest while saying so. Because when he met for the first time, he told him the story of the lie, "Abandoned by bandits and survived alone."

"Kest, I'm sure it's okay to come out ... but I'm thinking about avoiding bandits.

One of the gatekeepers, the senior guards commented without noticing the behavior of Vandaloo. From a bandit's point of view, a group of Darussia and Vandalu, Juliana, Natana, and Simon would certainly look like ducks. It looks like a group of girls and children, with no adult man except Simon and his Sam.

However, the carriage is jet-black with spikes in place, and both horses pulling the carriage are monsters if you look closely.

"won"

And the ultimate is the fang that screamed shortly instead of nodding to the words of the senior guard. From a distance, the giant that is clearly visible is nothing more than a nightmare for bandits.

Bandits are not always familiar with monsters, but they are not as devastating as they would be to monsters larger than horses.

"" Chu! ""

"Yes, I know, you guys."

Marols will appeal, but the Fang will be better than ever. Other than those who are familiar with demons, their appearance and size are what matter.

"Well, I'm going to get out of the highway and go on the road, so I won't encounter bandits again."

"A short way? Why is it? Even if you go off the highway from here to Al Krem, the road is steep and nothing is a shortcut."

The highways have been improved and the security guards have maintained a certain degree of security. But the way is not a highway, so there are no villages and towns where you can supply food and get inns, and there is no patrol of the guards. Therefore, it becomes a journey while watching for bandits and demons in the field lodgings.

If you're not a drug or swag hauler, it's the way to go.

"On the way, I'd like to try collecting medicinal herbs and demons that aren't here."

"I see."

However, adventurers and tamers may take the road for that reason. The senior guard seemed convinced.

"I'll go soon."

"Okay. Come on, have a good trip."

Feared by a kest who appears to be much stronger than when he first met, Vandaloo departed from the town of Moxy.

A few hours later, the town of Mawkesey disappeared, and when the roadside became sparse, the Vandaloos departed from the path told to the Kests and entered the road.

After a short walk from here, I was going to transfer to the Vidal Empire. And on the 10th ... No, he traveled through undeveloped forests and grasslands and moved to Al Krem after 10 days. You have traveled.

[Transfer] The destination has already flew the insect undead, and overlooks a suitable forest about a few hours away from the city of Al Krem.

No problem.

"I'm a little worried about Zadiris and Basdia, who have left me."

The Vandaloos did not all travel to Alcrem, but left Zadiris and Basdia, and three Kanakos and Miles.

This is not because the gods can attack the town of Moxy, where Vandaloos are gone. There is no merit that the gods who follow Arda will attack the town of Moxy, where there are no vandaloos.

For the gods to directly affect the earth, they must consume a great deal of power. A bit of a miracle ... not so much as to let the dead flowers bloom again, but if you destroy a town you have to risk having to sleep for hundreds of years.

Even if they take the risk and clear the town of Moxy, Vandaloos will only lose one potential base. We must take into account the emotional shock and anger that the Vandaloos themselves receive.

However, as much as the town of Moxy, towns that are convenient for the Bandarouses can be made as many as they exist.

Undoubtedly, unfortunately ... There are a certain number of people in any town who are desperate enough to be fascinated by Vandaloo.

In addition, there are Duke of Birgit and Duke of Sauron, which have more Vida members than Duke of Al Krem, in the Orbaum election.

Thus, the gods of the Ardas do not move directly. And if you take such hasty measures too much, on the contrary, the whole Orbaum election could be viewed as hostile, saying, "The god of law, Arda, intends to unite mankind into the Amid Empire. For this reason, he is trying to destroy our country." .

Alda's gods, who are already trying to calm down the situation with the disappearance of the Thundercloud God Fitun, will not take that risk. Probably.

"Even if you think it's okay in theory, you can't help but count the counts."

So why the Kanakos remained in the town was an unofficial request from Earl Moxy, with the exception of Miles, who manages and directs Hungry Guards.

"I'm sorry, but could you leave some strength in the town?"

Near the town is the B-class dungeon "Gares Battlefield". Once a runaway has occurred, it is known that it will take a considerable amount of time before the runaway occurs again. However, some monsters did not come to town in the runaway that happened the other day.

Despite the fact that it has become even stronger after a job change, it is still uneasy to defend if demons of ranks 7 and 8 appear with only their own knights and guards.

Because of this, the duke of Al-Krem was unable to detain Vandalu and Darussia, but was unofficially asked to leave the rest of the forces in town.

As a result, Kanako and Zadiris and Basdia, who were provided with a request for permission to give a concert lecture at the town square, remained.

"And it would be nice if the Earl decided not to bother that they were Ghoul and legally a follower of Vandaloo anymore."

Darussia from the town of Moxy sees that ghouls are people, not demons, and rejoices if their status is to be improved.

"But there's a Gordon-like person who tries to get them while I'm away, and I'm a little worried if they both overdo it, because they're both attractive."

"Oh, I'm worried that kind of thing ... I think it's okay, Master. I guess it would have been an escort so that I wouldn't have to say that."

The Earl may be worried about the same worries as Vandaloo, and the Knights will escort them to keep unscrupulous people from approaching to prevent trouble. Since the escort is also a fan of Basdia and Zadiris, there will be no human-related troubles.

"Yes, I think it's a free job for Basdia, but if you don't get an uncomfortable job, you're safe."

Of the monsters that did not come to town, Thunder Dragon, which was affected by two names of Vandalu's "Rin Emperor" and "Dragon Emperor", has already been dealt with.

For other demons, there are no threats around the town because the Legions [transfer] to the dungeon of the fake Morxie town, and Juliana and Kasim have defeated them.

So the Kanakos are preparing for a non-existent threat. For now, there are heroes raised by the gods of the Ardas and people who have a resentment to the Bandarou, etc. There are also human beings, so it is not completely safe.

"There is Jadal in the dungeon in the basement, and Zadiris has a concert, so I'm ok.

"Yeah ... Zadiris might say it's better to spare time."

"By the way, don't you worry about Kanako-san, do you think Kanako-san is also attractive?"

Asked by Juliana, who appeared from Sam's hood, Vandaloo answered after thinking a bit.

"Kanako is fine because I'm used to it. Melissa is fine with Doug, not me.

But I don't know Jessie, so you can go back to town, Simon. "

"Suddenly, Master !? I'm sure she and I'm getting close to each other, but now it's the first decision to get Volks's husband to train again and raise his arms."

So while he was teased with his disciples, he left the highway, and the Vandaloos [transferred] to the Vidal Demon Empire.

During the time of more than a dozen days, there are a lot of things to do with the bandas.

One of them is diplomatic work.

"I took you"

Gufadogan's [Transition Gate] opens, and members of "Storm of Violence" and a group of dark elves come from behind.

Today we will meet with the Dark Elf Delegation on the western continent of Bang Gaia, talk about migration and visit the town.

The young man, head of the delegation but with a calm look ... The oldest, Dangar, thanked Vandaloo for his welcome.

"I'm sorry to welcome and welcome the Emperor. I'm honored to be Dangal, who took over the Dark Elf's eldest position just recently."

"I'm honored to have the eldest. I'm Vandalu Zaccato, Emperor of the Vidal Emperor.

Immediately, is it okay to suspend work for a while and be private? "

"That's something I couldn't hope for. I wanted to ask for it."

Thank each other lightly and hold hands. Looking back, Vandaloo nodded at Darussia, who was in tears.

"Dad, mom!"

Immediately, Darussia rushed and passed by Vandaloo and Dangar. And a pair of men and women who had tears in their eyes, just like Darussia, ran to her.

"Darusia! Poooooooooo!"

"Darusia, it's Darussia!"

A man with an atmosphere a bit like Darussia accepts her, and a woman who looks like a sister embraces her. They are grandparents for Darussia's parents, Vandalu.

"Darcia! I heard that you were dead, and I never regretted that I should stop you from leaving the village more strongly! But from Dalton, I stayed on earth as a spirit and with my son Ask me ...! "

"And I couldn't believe I was alive again, but I'm glad! I hugged you who thought you couldn't meet again!"

"Dad, mom, I'm sorry! I ... I didn't hate my dads.

"Good, Darussia. Good. Good to meet you in this way, but it's good. But my dad is going to suffer, so let's relax."

Darussia is usually well-trained, but he seems to have been nervous because of his reunion with his parents.

"I'm sorry, I just got stronger!"

Darussia rushes to release his father from hugs. Her father, who has escaped from the fight against the lack of oxygen and the crisis of overkill, is glad to grow up with a calm tone that is different from before, saying, "Darusia is getting really strong ...".

"I'll make you cry ..."

"Every time I see such a scene, I'm grateful to betray the Demon King."

The Schneiders were quietly impressed with the other dark elves so as not to disturb the reunion of the parent and child.

"I introduce my dad and mother. This is Vandaloo. The proud son of me and the person who loved me."

And Vandaloo was nervous, with no expression. It's his first experience.

"Hello, I'm Zalezia, the father of Darussia. You're your grandfather. I think it's strange."

"I'm your grandmother, Fidaryl. Heh, it's really strange. I'm going to introduce myself to my grandchild."

The two had been mostly told by Dalton about the personality of Vandaloo. He knows that he is a reincarnated person and a user of death-attribute magic, as much as the people of the Vidal Demon Empire.

Vandaloo himself knew it.

"I'm Vandalou Zakart. I feel strange, but I'd be grateful if you think you're a first-time grandson.

It's the first time I have a grandparent in three lives. ''

The first time on Earth, he died before his real parents got married, and he never saw a picture at his uncle's house.

In the second Origin, I never saw my parents' faces in the first place.

In this third world, Lambda, grandparents were born for the first time. I usually don't know what to do.

"Well ... you're a grandchild between our beloved daughter and the man who loved and saved her life.

"And she revived her daughter. It sounds strange to be a benefactor, but you're a proud grandson. Thank you for being born to my toddler girl."

Vandalou and his grandparents did not have such a special event that they instinctively knew that blood was connected or that their hearts communicated the moment they saw their eyes.

However, it was certain that the immediate family increased on this day.
