The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Invading the "true" Randolph town, falsified with the elf minstrel Rudolph, was straightforward.

A bard is an obligatory occupation that belongs to a particular guild and is more rootless than an adventurer. Therefore, of course, bounty heads and operatives of intelligence organizations often call themselves bard for falsehood.

However, the elf minstrel, with blue hair and eyes, was so prominent that the guards who guarded it didn't seem to be a sort of bounty, so they could easily enter the town.

Originally, Moxy was a trading city and a busy city, and some of them included bards, which seemed to have worked in a good direction.

"But we're here"

Randolph, however, laughed in Rudolf's tone.

"No way, it's the wrong thing. It's bad timing."

The purpose of his arrival in the town of Moxy in disguise was to meet Vandaloo. I wanted to meet and see who she was.

However, guards told him that the band had already traveled to Alcrem.

(Because I moved in the sky, I couldn't get the information I could have picked up in a village or town on the way .... No way.

However, if you are traveling on foot, it will take nearly a month to get here. It is inevitable that you can not run on the highway while seeing other travelers.)

While thinking so, Randolph took a room in a cheap hotel like a bard on a trip and began collecting information as it was.

Now he is a bard who came to town to make a song about Dumpel's boy, so it's not unnatural to ask people in town. You can catch up on gossip if you give lunch for an adventurer or mercenary who has completed a job, or listen to the same bard.

The result was surprising. Some of the gossips heard in the center are true, and the true ruler of the red-light district, the hero who defended the town, invented a magic item that Randolph never heard, and was recognized as a saint by the temple. Has been awarded a medal by the lord.

This diversity is just a little talk from the townspeople. I don't think it's due to a single person.

Besides, the activities of other stakeholders are considerable.

"If you say that the activities of Darussia at that time! Rodriguez was really B-class, and Simon and Natania were terrible, but it's still Darussia!"

Rock, a party leader at the bar called Iwatetsudan, enthusiastically celebrated the battle that took place at the main gate, and especially praised Darussia's success. You may be drinking a lot after the early morning hunt, but you're probably so absorbed in Darussia.

"It's a magical item that changes shape on [Advent], and it's great to cast a lot of spells, go out to the front and raise the ranks of the pirate ... no, it's wonderful. "

So Randolph turns his head, keeping in touch with the rock.

(It's good that Natania seems to have recovered, but it wouldn't be a disciple in Vandaluo. After all, when I left her to a man with one arm, was he approaching him? What was the influence?

But his officials are also extraordinary. Especially her)

Not to mention Dulcia, which Rock is enthusiastic about, two ghouls brought from somewhere, Michael of "Haruki", Kanako and others ... and Natania.

(Same as a man with one arm, but she didn't look so strong. Even if she could do it, it would have been within the D-class range.

It's strange to think that the performance of the magic item prosthesis was excellent. (Growth too fast)

"Rock, what are you talking about? Rudolf, Basdia from The Giant's Cut is amazing! I feel like I can't help admiring the same axe! I'm not a knight, I was so excited by the words of that inspiration! "

"No, it's Zadiris-chan. Basdia is certainly dignified, but she's pretty Zadiris! I feel like I'm working hard on the stage, and that's good!"

"I'm Kanako-chan. Sure, he didn't stand out in the last battle, but he shouldn't lose in terms of his cuteness. No, lead other members on stage and follow them. It's a worthy daughter who is good. ''

"Cute ... isn't it a bit too bruising?-That's Juliana. I'm looking at my niece and relaxing."

Members other than rock also give their voices, naming different Vandaloo officials.

"Um, what is the stage? Who is Juliana?"

Randolph reluctantly recalled, recognizing that there were some unknown words in their story and names that they did not expect to hear.

"Huh? You don't know, Mr. Rudolph. He said he was interested in Vandaloo and came to this town, so he thought he knew exactly."

"Yes, I actually wanted to come to this town early, and traveled without stopping in villages and towns along the way."

"I see. Well, I'll guide you when this is over. We were going to go see it when the meal was over."

Apparently, the people on the stage seem to be singing and dancing for some reason, and there are two ghouls out there. I simply don't think it's a rare ghoul or dark elf around here. Is it the purpose of the town people to understand ghoul?

If you go there, you will be able to see the Vandaloo officials in the town in a natural way.

"So, did you hear about Juliana for the first time?"

"Oh, it's like a variant of Minotaur, one of Vandalu's followers, but I don't know the details."

"It looks just like a race girl with cow horns and tails on it, she's a cute girl. She's still small, so she hasn't participated in the main gate battle, We met then. "

Apparently, Randolph thought it did not mean that Juliana had recovered like Natania.

(But what is it? It's just like a racial girl? There will be some variants !?)

Randolph, who has a wealth of experience as an adventurer, shouted so intently.

Mutants are individuals that have characteristics or abilities that are not found in normal individuals of that species. Randolph has also defeated a variety of mutants, including the exhaled goblins, the poisonous Kobolts, and the horned hugebore.

In the first place, Minotaur is also a race that is said to have increased auger variants. There is no wonder if the Minotaur King planted in Juliana, the individual that hatched from the egg created with the power of [Demon King's Fallopian Tube] was a mutant. On the contrary, I can understand.

However, it looks like a racial girl… a cow beast race that should not exist can never be.

"It's something I want to see once."

However, it was strange that Bard Rudolph was familiar with the ecology of the demon, so he only nodded.

(Well, there's no monster that mimics humans, and it's true that they are at least seeing a monster cub with the same name as Juliana. I deny that I haven't seen it with my own eyes Is there anything?

But ... how about giving the same name to her mother, even if she resembles Juliana? (Although it is delicate to say mother)

But my mind was full of thoughts. Stop trying to deny that it doesn't apply to your experience, and guess the answer to the question why Vandaluu named the baby monster cub "Juliana".

"I'm sorry that Juliana went to Al Krem with Vandaloo, so I'm not in town right now."

"Yes, to Al Krem ..."

However, it seems that the source of the question, Juliana, is heading for Al Krem. For an instant, the idea of pursuing her and Vandaloo right now seemed to me, but she decided to stop.

Departure on the day of arrival is too noticeable. Plus, there are other stakeholders in the town, and probably Vanderlu is coming back to Moxy.

Then it would be better to gather information in this town until then. …… I'm going to show a bard mimicking a disguise several times at a tavern, just like a disguise.

(Because the bard who doesn't seem to make money despite money is suspicious)

Fortunately, Randolph remembered playing lyre and drums and was confident in singing. When he was an inexperienced adventurer, he earned his living expenses by imitating a bard.

At that time ... Rock talked to Randolph, who remembered more than two hundred years ago and looked a little farther away.

"If you go from now on, it seems to be around the stage, but what do you do?

"Oh, that's right. Let's go together."

Exit the cafeteria and head to the stage set in the town square. Officials from Vandalu are singing and dancing here every two days.

When they are not on stage, other minstrels and entertainers perform and perform street performances, and theatrical companies play drama. However, it is said that the greatest excitement is still a "concert" by the officials of Vandaloo.

"I see. I'm convinced that this is exciting."

After seeing the concert, Randolph understood that the attitude of the rocks was natural.

"Everyone is grateful for gathering for us today!

"Today, I'm a trio of Zadiris and Basdia! I ’ll sing hard, so thank you ♪ ”

"Then I'll make it today!

When Zadiris, Kanako, and Basdia greet on stage, they transform themselves with their transformation equipment and begin singing to the music immediately.

The unusualness of transforming brace and the production of sound and light using magic. Then, let them put their hands together, give the audience an atmosphere of participation, and taste the sense of unity.

This is certainly entertainment. For those who believe that music must be more sophisticated, it won't like it.

But, at least, Randolph favored the concert in front of him, rather than such sophisticated music.

(Aside from that, those three guys are ... quite a few users. Especially the warrior of Ghoul, a woman called Basdia, is a medium arm. He is equal to "Alkrem Five Knights" ... No, it is more. (For items, it is better to see that the performance is more than a rumor)

Fighting with that Basdia, she sighs unexpectedly, assuming Darussia who was more active than her, and Vandaloo's ability to take on Basdia.

If the duke of Al Krems was not good enough, the twelve duke families that make up the Orbaum election may be missing this year.

So while Randolph was observing and thinking, some songs seemed to be over and a pause had taken place. The Basdias drop and the priests Armands of the communal temple begin to sing chant.

Fortunately, the priests were ordinary and did not dance.

"How are you, Rudolph? It's a middle-aged person? I was three today, but the number increases and decreases depending on the day, and there are days when you can see the show of the children of the orphanage on the undercard That's right. "

"I can have a lot of fun during the breaks. Today is the chanting of the priests of the communal temple and the preaching of the Alman priest of Arda, but on some days I'm doing some incompetence to jump in and play my instruments. Why don't you try Rudolph? "

The rocks, who were watching the stage, returned to Randolph as soon as the chanting of the priests Armand began. I think it's a medium voice, but after that "concert", I guess it will be interesting.

"Yeah, it was very interesting. I'm not going to get bored while waiting for Vandaloo."

As a minstrel Rudolph, Randolph has decided to stay in the town of Moxy.

Randolph, disguised as the town of Morksey, was not noticed by Vandaloos.

I saw a blue-haired elf enter the town through a golem or a familiar king on the town walls, but it wasn't tied to the S-class adventurer "True" Randolph.

If Randolph was aiming at Vandaloo and its stakeholders, it might have responded to Danger Detection: Death with a sense of slight killing. In fact, the assassin who was commissioned to kill a Vandalu official has been buried in the dark.

But Randolph's purpose is to gather information, and he has no intention of fighting at this time. As a result, they did not direct any kind of killing to those involved in Vandaloo.

And they are the heroes and celebrities who defended the town of Moxy. There are plenty of adventurers, peddlers, and bards listening to them.

A blue-haired elf added to the scene did not catch the attention of Vandaloo and others.

And in the tent set up behind the stage, there were three people taking a break. Of course, they are not aware of Randolph.

"I consulted with Van, but this time I want to increase the number of people who go on stage."

Kanako confessed to Basdia and Zadiris. Basdia nodded in a calm manner.

"Well, is it finally time to call out to Vigaro?"

"Why do you connect to your dad !?"

Kanako is surprised to hear that the name of Vigallo, a two-armed man with a lion's head as a two-and-a-half-million-foot tall lion, appears as a new member, and Kanako listens to her.

`` No, the town people's perception of Ghoul is changing from 'Intelligent humanoid demon' to 'People', so I thought it was time to show the man Ghoul.

"We ghouls are so different in appearance between men and women. Even getting used to me and Basdia alone wouldn't help improve the image of the whole ghoul race?"

"Isn't it a surprisingly serious reason ... but the stage debut is a bit.

Kanako was convinced of the reasons they cited, but hurriedly overcame Vigaro, a magical girl in his mind. If you want to spread a new culture, you should start with the standard.

…… Even though the members so far are not the standard based on the common sense of “Earth” and “Origin”.

"Then, Kthya is going to Van and Al Krem, so do you speak to Bilde?

Talea is helping to create Van's artifacts, so she's not busy. She's a chaos elf. "

"Either way, you'll have to enter through the town gates once. It would be difficult if the boy didn't come back."

Kanako shook his head to the two who gave their feelings and opinions

"No, I'm going to recruit from the townsfolk. I won't give you any paraphernalia and I won't tell you the real circumstances.

We just teach them to sing, dance and choreography and sing along on stage. That's it. "

Since the stage is shown on a large scale, the songs and dances of Kanako will spread among them, and some people will imitate the form of the concert. So Kanako thought they could teach them.

If you are a bard or dancer, the basics are already in place, so it should not be so difficult.

"I see. So, by interacting with us directly, we deepened our understanding of the new race of Vida, and since the concert is made Vida's preaching, it is also useful for missionary activities. That's why he persuaded the boy ? "

"Yes! I got it right!" ... I'm a bit scared because I've been trusted too much recently.

"In the sense of Van, the Kanakos are already relatives, because they have mutated into a race of Darussia.

Don't be alarmed, as assassins and extremist Ardas may be among those who respond to the recruitment. ''

"Yes, of course. With the help of the guards of the Hungry Wolf ... I'm going to ask the Familiar King later, because some bards are disguised as bounty heads and spies."

Kanako recalls the blue-haired elf in the audience. I think he was a bard because he had a lyre, but he stopped as soon as he wondered if he was a professional or who impersonated the bard.

(I can't tell just by looking at it for a moment. If he's not a fake, I'm interested in elf performance skills, so I'd be glad to apply.)

Kanako, who has the image of an elf as an artistic tribe, thought so.

"Now, it's time for the second half of the stage. Let's do our best. Attracting customers is the first half, and sales of goods are in the second half!"

In this way, the Kanakos headed to the battlefield (stage).

Al Krem, the territory of the Duke of Al Krem, is a large city with a population of about one million.

There are many people like the Duke of Sauron, which is located at the forefront of the Amid Empire, the enemy nation since its founding, and the Duke of Hartner, which is lightly rich in mineral resources.

Before that scale, the prosperity of the town of Moxy, with a population of about 30,000, will be blurred.

For this reason, people trying to enter the town were lined up at the gate of Al Krem every day.

"It's a long line. Will we be in town today?"

The young man at the end of the line was looking forward while saying so, and a woman guarding the wagons in front of her looked back and called out.

"Hey, brother"

"Oh, oh, what, young lady?"

A young man who was inadvertently deprived of her lips with bright red lips raised her voice. A woman smiles with a good smile on such a young man.

"I'm not a young lady, but thank you. Is your brother Alchem for the first time? It looks like an adventurer."

"Oh, it's my first time. I was promoted to class D last time, but the party I had been working on was broken up. So I was thinking about going out to the city.

In Al Krem, a previously unburied adventurer has heard rumors that it is suddenly emerging. I'm going to do it. ''

Young people talk about themselves in a verbal manner, even though they are not used to or have not been heard so much. His rumors indicate that the gods of the Ardas are giving blessings to those who choose to foster a fight against Vandalu.

In fact, it is happening not only in Al Krem, but also in other Dukes and the Amid Empire. However, because the information is not being transmitted correctly, it is only spread as a rumor that "there is a lot of people who suddenly stand out in populated cities."

Anyway, he was a young man who kept talking to the woman, but it seemed to be counterproductive.

"Yes ... if I knew about Al Krem, I wanted to ask a bit ..."

Apparently, the woman talked to the young man with the intention of gathering information. The young man shouts, "I've done it!", And hesitates to be able to continue the conversation, but he doesn't come out immediately because he's not really used to women.

"Well, it's a monster !?"

At that time, a shout came out of the people in the line. When the young man switches consciousness at that moment, he looks for a demon with a spear and a shield.

I saw a group of carriages chased by monsters coming out of a forest about a few hundred meters behind.

"... Hmm? It's a monster, isn't it chased?"

For a moment, a young man who mistakenly recognized that a carriage being chased by a demon fled from the forest to the road, but from a distance, the carriage was not running, and the monster was walking not only behind but also beside the carriage. I noticed that I was not being attacked.

"Maybe a big gray beast-shaped monster on that black carriage ..."

"Maybe it's a Tamer's follower? But is there a Tamer who follows a monster that's big enough to be seen from here?"

Without realizing the muttering of the woman, the young man joined the highway and stared at a line of black carriages that were gradually approaching.

"What is your follower? I am surprised."

"No, maybe a smart monster is just pretending to be a follower ..."

"Idiot, monsters can't handle carriages."

"But it's better to call the guards, right? I've never seen such a big follower for the first time, and because it's a tamer, it's not just a good guy !?"

A few knights rushed out of the gate on a horse, as the people in the line screamed and thought they couldn't be left anyway.

Meanwhile, the carriages are approaching the end of the row of young people.

A gray-skinned female warrior in front of a carriage drawn by two fine horses. On the right, a giant wolf with gray fur, or a dog-shaped monster. On the left are three red and white and a large steel monster. And behind it is a giant insect monster. You can see only a part, but eight legs from the side of the carriage.

"Yeah, it's not a tamer!"

Ghoul is in front! In addition, the monster in the back is a bug-like monster that cannot be taken. When the young man noticed, he tried to put up his weapon again.

"Be calm, brother. They're fine."

"Oh, if you make a noise, you'll be ashamed later."

However, she was stopped by the woman and her colleagues. While wondering why such a thing could be said, a voice came from a black carriage.

"Wow, this is a row with so many people, maybe you've never seen it before."

"Bochan, they're pretty lined up. Shouldn't it be better to wait a day and start over tomorrow early in the morning? Weifang? Weifang ~?

"Vandaloo may be inaudible because he is on Gizania's back now, but I don't think it's impossible to go back into the forest right now."

A middle-aged man on the ghoul and a dark elf woman sitting next to him. Seeing his voice and appearance, the young man lowered his weapon again. There are few demons like human-speaking ghouls, and you and the dark elf women are invisible to them.

For the time being, the undead also speaks human language, but it is said that conversation cannot be made at best by repeating grudges in their lifetime. Young people also supported the dominant theory.

"I also met a friend I know. Hello."

The distance is shortened, and it turns out that the woman is a pretty woman.

"I'm silent, saint!"

"Thanks to our Lady!"

However, the guards of the Hungry Guard responded immediately, so the young man was a little embarrassed and immediately lay down ... feared to stand in front of Fang and Marols, so he fell back. .

"Michael's, you brought me the gobgob and Kobolt dried meat."

"Yes, it's Bibi, guarded by Hungry Wolf! I've escorted my luggage to the Duke!"

Michael ... Bibi, with the same brand of lipstick as Miles, smiled with bright lips.

There, the knights rush.

"Dark Elf Daughter! The monsters seem to be Tamer's followers, but let's talk to them just in case!"

The knights knew from the middle that they were not in a critical situation, but they approached them to make sure.

"First, the Tamer who is using these followers ... No, what is the monster behind!

"Is that my case?"

Aracne from the back of the carriage and ... a race that looks like a woman's upper body sprouted from a spider's head, or that a woman is originally sitting on a spider's head. Gizania, a large species, came out.

"This guy, people's words !?"

"Wait, she's Arachne! I'm new to seeing ... it was a new race of Vida?"

Bandarou, who is on Gizania's back, responds to the knight who has stopped his involuntarily prepared subordinates.

"Yes, Gizania is a large species of Arachne and I'm trying to get it."

Gizania wears magic items that have the illusion of being just a large species. Anyone with in-depth knowledge of Arachne would be at odds with the size differences, but the knights who saw Arachne for the first time could not see through.

"A certain thing!

Opening the door from behind the carriage, the muse appears. She was disguised with magic items so that she looked like an ordinary Empusa.

"Wow, what is this woman !? Oh, woman !?"

But Empusa, unlike Arachne, is an extinct race outside the border mountains. Of course, because of the lack of knowledge of the guards, her appearance with the characteristics of a praying mantis is merely disturbed and cannot be seen through her identity.

"As a woman, I don't know how much it is! If you're a human or not, you're humiliated to be suspicious of gender, you're going to be a certain first time!"

"Muse, they saw Empusa for the first time and are just upset. Please respond with a broad heart."

"Oh, I'm sorry.

The sickle arm that grows from the shoulder and the arm that has the same shape as the person under it move with a gesture that tells the child "I'm not scared."

"That's okay, if you're a follower .... I've heard the rumors of Genius Tamer, but I've never heard that I'm aiming for Arachne.

There are other monsters that were not mentioned in the rumors, unlike the ghoul's features. What do you mean? "

Asking the knight suspiciously, Vandalu answered plainly.

"After leaving town, I met in the woods and tried to do it. And you know a lot about my followers?"

The rumors of the followers of Vandaloo contain no more detailed information than the two named Basdia and Zadiris. Regarding Marols, they should be known only as "a new kind of monster".

Conversely, the knight replied, stunned, answered a few seconds of silence and turned his gaze.

"... Your colleagues are your fans.

In any case, welcome to Al Krem. The formalities will take place at the gate, but we welcome you. ''

The knights bowed lightly and returned to the gate, telling the people in line that they were not worried.

"I can't seem to be telling the information of Vans."

Muse whispers quietly, looking at the back of the knights.

"It looks like you've sent a spy, so I'll look into it. Well, it won't be as uproar as fighting the Fittens here."

In any case, the Vandalus arrived at Al Krem.

By the way, Simon and Natania were exhausted from the training and slept with Privel and small fish on Sam's bed.
