The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

After a few hours of rewind, a class E adventurer party was gathering in the inn's cafeteria as the band went under the judging to enter the Al Krem at the main gate.

"……the time has come"

Arthur, a man with a muscular physical swordsman with thin eyebrows and a terrible look, and a guardian of the rain goddess Bashas.

"The announcement has come true. Older brother."

Callina, the younger sister of Arthur, has her wavy hair stretched to her waist, looking down at her insidiously and staring with sharp eyes. She is protected by Zelzeria, the goddess of the dark night, and is also the goddess.

"This is the last thing I can do for my true purpose."

Borzofoy, who is under the protection of Hamul, a dwarf sorcerer who looks young and thin, and looks like a thin, small old man due to his innate frail constitution, wanders in his gaze.

With just these three people, the cafeteria, where there are few people due to the time of day, creates an unusual atmosphere like a place used for dark transactions.

These are hero candidates who have been selected from the gods of the right wind attribute and the two pillars of the light attribute, who are not the evil gods and evil gods.

"Ah, that's a statement or a true purpose? I'm new to it!"

And Miriam, a rookie adventurer who hasn't got any god's blessing and has a slightly longer history of adventurers than Arthur, is embarrassed by tears.

"If you have any thoughts, talk to me. I'm going to forget, but I'm a party leader!"

Those who only know the rumor misunderstand that the party leader is Arthur, but in fact Miriam was the true leader.

Arthur, who lived in a remote village, turned to senior Miriam "by all means as a leader" because he was not familiar with not only urban common sense but also adventurer common sense.

…… Because Arthur's actions are out of the ordinary, they are often drawn rather than taking leadership, so they are externally seen as “three eccentric victims” or “Is she actually a freak?” There is.

Arthur stared at her, staring at her, and kept silent for a few seconds.

"Mr. Arthur, I think I'm trying to confess to me what I can't really say, but I'm really scared."

"Mr. Miriam ... I have struggled so far for the rednecks, but it's no more dangerous. I have been silent for you, but we have been blessed and given a mission from a gods It was. "

Kyokohoho and suddenly Borzofoy laughed, wandering more violently with the eyes with open pupils, and told Miriam.

"We left the village, came to the city, came to this Al Krem, and became an adventurer, to fulfill our mission from the beginning. Miriam, you were used by us."

A guest trying to enter the inn turns around and flees. However, Miriam sighed and opened his mouth.

"Mr. Borzofoy, don't force yourself to make a weird laugh. And you've never seen me before, don't you look away is a habit when you lie."

"Nup, you've been spotted !?"

"Mr. Miriam, but what Borzofoy said is mixed in with the truth. We are blessed with God and our mission."

"Ah, yes.

Miriam nodded lightly at Arthur's confession, hiding her voice. Arthur and others are astonished at what she knew she had been silent about.

"No, no ... it's strange that a few months ago, a hunter, a housekeeper, and a priest gave me a magical start. It's strange that all three were the Bashirs, Zelseria, and the hamul's holy sign I make my own and protect it.

So I thought I was a hero candidate who got the protection of God that seems to be increasing recently. "

Miriam had noticed that those who were afraid of Arthur would not notice.

"Miriam, you noticed that your brother gave you the blessing of Bashas."

Kalinia mutters in an unexpected manner.

"Eh, Callinia, are you different from Borzofoy?"

"I've been blessed with Zelzeria, but that's about a month after I was with you. I'm sorry for helping me with only the strong chores."

"I was blessed about a month ago. I seemed to be a magician for a dwarf."

"Sorry. I'm sorry to say."

It seems that Callina and Borzofoy were more talented than Miriam thought.

"Aside from that ... I was surprised that we were aware of our secrets, but we can't go any further with you. The mission from God is very dangerous."

"I know that. The heroes we hear in the rumors are so amazing."

It is said that re-sealing of the runaway [Shard of the Demon King], capture of undiscovered dungeons, and recently defeating noble vampires who serve the evil god are also being performed. In addition, it is said that some are challenging God-managed dungeons, one of the challenges Gods place on heroes.

From the perspective of a novice adventurer like Miriam, he is no less than a hero candidate and can be called a hero already.

If Arthurs had done the same thing as a mission from the gods, she wouldn't know if she could follow her.

"But I also have the point. I'm sure you're just swinging around, but I'm not forgetting the benefits of helping me."

Miriam was acting with Arthur's bizarre trio after she visited last fall in a village where Arthur lived to collect a rare herb.

Miriam, looking for herbs in a forest surrounding a remote village off the main road and without a branch office for the adventurer's guild, was attacked by an auger.

Attacked by a rank 4 auger in an ordinary forest that is not a magical territory, Miriam at the time was so scared that she couldn't escape.

What appeared was Arthur, not a new armed auger. He threatened the auger with a terrifying roar, challenging the flesh battle while swinging a hatchet at the afraid auger, and what a victory.

Arthur, who turned red with the auger's return blood, smiled and said, "Are you okay, young lady?", And Miriam's spirit reached the limit and she fainted.

Later, at the home of Arthur's house, he was cared for by Karinia, and from their childhood friend Borzofoy, they learned about the vegetation of the plants around the village and were able to safely harvest herbs.

During those few days of exchange, Miriam learned that Arthur was a good man, apparently, and when she was consulted that she was thinking of changing to an adventurer, she turned to herself this time. I was overwhelmed.

He decided to guide Arthur to the guild town and, for a while, teach him about adventurers.

…… Because I have money to buy equipment to become an adventurer, I go to the magical area away from the village to defeat monsters, and the guards on the highway suspect that they are bandits, and for some reason to clear the suspicion, bandits Cooperate with extermination. I was swung around before becoming an adventurer, but now it's a good experience.

"Sure, I may be weak. But we're friends! We're the same party! It's never dangerous to leave me alone!"

"But really from here on ..."

"Stop it, brother!"

Still, Arthur's attempt to persuade Miriam was interrupted by Callina's scream. As she stood from her seat, she wrapped her hand in her hands and gazed at her eyes with tears.

"I know you're my brother, we're here now, thanks to Miriam.

Despite the blessing of Mr. Bashas, he did not leave the village. I knew my brother was burdened, but I was afraid of the outside world. Our brothers have been misunderstood for a long time ...

But she changed us like that. ''

"Eh, did you do such a big thing?"

Asking Miriam, she asks her embarrassment, and Karinya nods.

"The three of us were the only friends we could call each other. Miriam, we're the first friends of the outside world ... we've become heart friends!"

"Ah, that, Callinia-san, is now" Shinyu "...?"

"That's true ... Callineri says. He and the three of us, who had been creepy from the same village, now say they are friends ... true friends.

Arthur, I don't think she'll let her down. "

"Bo, Borzofoy, true friend, I haven't said ...!"

In a blink of an eye, writing a friend from the heart to a friend of the heart and a friend of the true friend to a friend of friend will not hide the confusion as the ranks rise.

"That's right, Miriam. I was wrong."

However, when I see Arthur's face taking his hand with a heavy tone while shedding tears from the eyes, it is very hard to say "no difference".

"You're a party on a life-threatening party, a friend who's tied together above all. We're four together, dead and alive!"

Apparently, Arthur has a pure belief in "adventures to the adventurer party." Even if you are in any difficult situation, you may not abandon your friends or your heart may be connected.

Therefore, the formula for Miriam that the party companion was a friend of the heart and a true friend would have been established.

(There is no such thing, Arthur! Even some of the party's colleagues are not good at work other than work, they break up due to human relationships, and there are cases where they seemed like an accident at work and killed !?)

"Yes, That's right"

Miriam screamed in her heart, but what came out of her mouth was consent.

I told her to tell me a secret, but I couldn't tell Miriam that it was a bit more heavy now.

"Okay, Mr. Miriam. Let's confide, the mission that the gods have given us ... Vandaloo, a Dumpel boy who seems to have arrived in Al Krem today ... The gods are afraid to be called the next Demon King Contact him and act together. "

And Miriam regretted that the ordeals of the gods were not frail.

She desperately stopped when Arthur, who knew that Vandaloo was heading to the Tamer Guild this evening, ambushed on their way home and tried to go out to write a letter.

However, Miriam's party did not have a specialized scouting profession, no one but the former huntsman Arthur had the [Sneaking Feet] skill, and the murderous criminal called "The Face Stripper" was jumping Nevertheless, she couldn't take the woman to the back alley, and Arthur ended up delivering the letter alone.

Arthur succeeded in rolling the letter under Vandalu's feet, showing his smile and showing no hostility, even when his gaze was met. was.

That evening, the Temple of the Recrent was quiet as usual.

It is called the Great Temple, and is in fact the largest and oldest temple in Al Krem. However, there is no fact that the Recruit religion is thriving in the Duke of Al Krem.

Thousands of years ago, a magician who worships Recruit sealed a runaway [Shard of the Demon King], and a large and robust temple was erected as a facility to reward the achievements and keep the seal protected. .

The temple continued to survive as the country died and flourished, and as the religion moved from Ricrent to Arda and Vida.

The shards that had been sealed at the time of the erection were relocated to the temple of Arda by the time of administration, but successive temple chiefs said, `` It is not the shards that matter; Is still to be passed down to future generations. "

"The profits of the large library are reasonable. The deficit has been continuing recently.

"It's great that the duke's dedication was the result of a joint study with the Wizard Guild."

"Recently, there has been less delight from other nobles and merchants. It's inevitable that people's religion and delight gather in the temple where heroes worship."

"Most of the time, the heroes have left Alcrem at a glance, so soon the donations and donations will come back.

The heroes who remained in Al Krem have also traveled the other day. At that time, I was wondering why they would not be together at the same time ... "

"I think it's related to the oracle received by the temple's chief. In terms of time, it's probably" Patron Saint of Transfiguration Brace ". I want a sample."

"Moxy would have reported that it was a specific personal brace. Who would you make it for, absolutely?"

But the clergy at the top of the Great Temple were discussing fairly vulnerable topics.

The doctrine of The Genie of Time and Judgment, Rikrent, does not preach the right way as a person, but emphasizes the way as a researcher.

It is important to see ideals, to imagine and imagine dreams. That is the driving force to move forward.

But don't forget that your feet are real.

No matter how important your research is or how much you have accumulated knowledge, maintaining it requires a prior thing.

"In that regard, he was saved the other day if he was saved, but what to do? I'm not going to go against the oracle that I heard so clearly ..."

"Let's tell the truth only to him. He couldn't leak information."

"Well, so I'll be in the large library tonight and have my research done until morning."

"Let's say I drank unfamiliar sake and fell asleep in my room until the sun rose."

"Wait, you probably can't drink. Are you okay?"

"Yes, so the contents of the bottle are juice, not wine. I'll keep it secret."

"Yeah, yeah ... so I've been asleep for three consecutive days, so I'm going to sleep?"

"I guess it's not a fact. I'm not young, so I'll stay up all night."

At night, the upper members of the Great Shrine, who made an excuse for nothing, disbanded and lived without incident until the next morning.

And the next morning. It has been found that two of the sealed pieces of the Demon King, the [true] ointment of the Devil entrusted by Randolph, and the seal of the unidentified piece have been replaced by counterfeits.

The upper members of the temple stopped disclosing information to the public so as not to spread the confusion to the citizens, and reported that they had been stolen by the lord, Duke of Takkad Al-Krem.

And the truth was transmitted only to the "true" Randolph.

An oracle from the Time and Art Demon Recruit has left somebody sneaking in at midnight, stealing the Demon King's fragment that you deposited. I was allowed.

However, since the upper levels of the Temple of Recrent do not grasp the current situation of Randolph, the truth was passed on to the hideout of the royal territory, the center of the Orbaum election which he mainly uses.

As a result, Randolph, who infiltrates the city of Moxie, the bard Rudolph, did not yet know the truth.

Al Krem Castle, built since the duke of Al Krem was the Kingdom of Al Krem. The meeting room was wrapped in a rough atmosphere.

"What the hell is that ... I heard that Randolph unilaterally left Julianna and the captured female adventurer alive to the adventurer of the town of Moxy, but ... Is this the situation? "

At the round table in the conference room, Duke of Takkad Alkrem was aged different from the one he had previously met with Bachem.

"I didn't plan to murder Yuliana. I didn't know that the minotaurs were attacking the village, not the bandits, and that they were also led by the Minotaur King, who took in [Shards of the Demon King]. That's it. "

To the lamenting Duke, the nobleman who plays the role of minister who governs the internal affairs of the duke's family nodded greatly.

"I know, His Excellency, the Duke. He dispatched a squadron of knights led by Juliana, taking into account that it was not a bandit but a herd of demons.

Everyone here knows that His Excellency was not willing to kill Juliana. ''

"Yes. Later, when it was revealed that the Julians had been caught by a demon, there was no reason to ask Randolph to intervene instead of rescue. I thought he was too miserable. ''

"Of course, His Excellency, Duke. Even if his father, his father, was alive, he would have made the same decision with pity on Juliana."

The fact that the world has been demonized by demons is a deep wound for women. Noble children are even more so. They can't expect a good marriage and either spend their entire life away from the house or go to a temple far from the village.

If the child's house has enough power, she can conceal what has been defiled by monsters and can be adopted into lower-class noble houses such as barons and knights. But that's only if your body and your mind are, above all, safe.

It was impossible for Yuliana, who had been turned abandoned after having cut off his limbs in the middle and giving birth to a Minotaur pup.

"Randolph's eyes when I asked him directly, and he saw that if he had the power of the Duke ... if he had the money and power, he would have been helped if Juliana had been alive. It is clear.

Certainly, it is possible to keep alive. Defeat the monster pups in the womb and regenerate the limbs using expensive potions. But they have no choice but to continue to take care of their savvy servants, believing in a spiritual recovery that will take years. Until I wake up for years, until I die ... but could it be helped? "

Randolph may still argue that "the potential remains." In fact, he is helping Juliana and the female adventurer halfway. It is clear from the results that the request from the Duke of Al Krem did not have a good impression.

"His Duke, this is not the case with what has passed now. You have to figure out how to get rid of that dampiel and the Minotaur pups, a live copy of Juliana."

But one of the five Alkrem Knights, The Knight of the Flame, Brabatille asserted that he should abandon his history and verify that he was right.

"Wait, Bravaille! Isn't it too urgent to get rid of it? I didn't call you out with that intention!"

"But His Excellency! Their souls are clear!"

The other knight laughs small at Brabatille, who does not listen to the master's restraint.

"What's the obvious soul and boldness of Todoren-dono? The reports of the spies would not have provided any such information."

"'The Knight of the Thunder Thunder' Sergio, I don't know if you are young.

That dampiel, various points are too unnatural! Perhaps another Duke ... No, maybe it's the hands of the Amid Empire! "

"What, on what basis?"

Sergio replied involuntarily, and Brabatille flatly stated.

"There's no basis! But if you think about it, even if you're just past ten, you've tried to demote the demon and rank it up in the next new breed, even an alchemist of the Duke of Al Krems works We invented a magic item that can only infer transformations, and openly dominate the slums and red-light districts!

If any one of these, I think I am a gifted boy, but when I get all three, I can only smell the intrigue! "

"So, what is their soul?"

"Of course, it will hurt the power of the Duke of Al Krem and disrupt the election of Orbaum!

The name of the young Minotaur pup, which he described as born by Juliana, was named Juliana, and there is no difference in the attempt to make her death a battle for the successor to the Duke of Al Krems and to listen to it as ugly! "

As Brabatille asserts, once again, Vandalou's achievements are very single, and it is unlikely that he was achieved by a boy.

So his guess that followed was also convincing.

Sergio acknowledged, but he sarcastically turned to an older knight who treated himself young.

"I see. It's definitely too much. I guess the boy is a dumb-peel, is he using one of his eyes as his prosthetic eye and doing some treatment on his nails?

There may be others who have prepared new demons, powerful ghouls, and transformation gear. Absolutely horrible. ''

"... What do you want to say?"

"Isn't Bravaille or Sergio wanting to say this? I'm skeptical, but if it's a conspiracy, the cost of the necessary work will not pay."

One of the reds of "Alclem Five Knights" ... but, because she is a dwarf, she looks like a girl at first glance, "Knight of the Thousands" Baldilia conveys Sergio's claim, and Brabatille also sits groaning. Repaired.

"In addition, it is not the boy of D'Ampeel and the kid of Juliana, who is disturbing Al Krem, but the 'face peeler'. Currently only villains or villains with good skin have been killed, Citizens are not upset as some evidence remains with the skin of the face, but as it stands, the guards, and the power of the Knights, will be lost and trust will fall to the ground "

"Certainly ... I now hear that many face-to-face demonics are being tolerated by pirates and the people, while many of us look cold.

Should those who don't take concrete actions monitor or investigate, and in the meantime, should we concentrate on the "facelifter" as originally planned? "

Originally, the conquest of the Al Krem Five Knights was to capture the devastating assassin, the Face Stripper, who couldn't grab the tail with a regular guard or knight.

Of course, the Duke is worried about Vandaloo and Juliana, but the one that is more problematic is the Face Stripper.

"Did you know ... I'm sure Dumpel's Vandaloo and Juliana can't be ignored, but for what purpose they're still moving, just an extraordinary boy who becomes a hero as he tells later legends I don't know.

If you take your hand out of haste in that situation, we will be more blame. ''

Externally, Juliana died, and that "Juliana" was to be a follower born after a woman named Julia was attacked by Minotaur. If you kill him because he's like his younger sister, you'll get great accusations from the Tamer Guild.

With so many Dragon Knights, it is painful for a duke to rely on the Tamar Guild to nurture Wyvern to crack into the Guild.

It is conceivable to bury the facts in the darkness with the power of the Duke, but in that case, the existence of Juliana's master, Vandaloo, and her mother, Darussia, are too large.

According to a report from a knight watching the gate, the new ghoul is bringing arachne, scylla, and a mysterious subhuman monster with the characteristics of a mantis. It seems to be insisting that it is just a ghoul or a large arakune of rank 3 or 4, but it is unknown whether it is true.

Research is needed to determine future policy.

"So I'm going to leave their research to Liamea, the Knight of the Eyes."

The nominated knight ... a man noble in a robe rather than armor and carrying a small knife nodded.

"I was afraid. Let's use the power of [Magic Eye of Surveying] to measure the abilities and skill levels of those dampiles and see them."

Lalmeier was not exactly a knight, but a spy and a technician. His unique skill, [Magic of Surveying], can measure what he sees and express it with numbers.

You can measure not only the size and weight of objects, but also the working power, as well as the stats of the subjects fighting and using the skills.

It takes more time than the status of the app to see the status at a glance, but it is an effective way to collect information.

"Um, I asked.

Ask the rest to focus on "The Face Stripper." That's fine, Knight of the Fallen, Goldie. You'll get away from the sealed evil god watching mission ... "

"does not matter"

Goldi, the Knight of the Fall, who had been silent until then, nodded with a serious face.

"In the days of the Jindai, the seal of the evil god Forzajibal, which was sealed under a mountain that the hero God Farmaun collapsed, would not rock so easily.

I just. I respect the willingness of the sword as a knight. ''

"Yes, thank you. The peace of this Al Krem rests on your shoulders."

The Alchemy Five Knights began to move, the duke's stress was eased, and his family was relieved.

However, following a report from the Great Temple of Recrent on the following day, the duke's stress increased again, and four people other than Lalmeia were re-collected, and divided into groups that pursue "The Face Stripper" and "The Devil's Fragment", respectively. It was possible.

At midnight, a man tied in a deserted abandoned house begged for life.

"Wait, wait, please, ask, help me! You're a" face stripper "? No, I'm different!"

The man, stained with tears and a runny nose, desperately appealed to a person holding a bottle full of liquid in one hand and a knife in the other.

"I surely sinned, you're a villain! But you're not a villain who strips his face!"

"Face stripping devil" is aimed only at bad guys. It also aims at villains who can't be sympathized by the general public even if they have been miserably killed.

Even criminals are not aware of scams and thieves who hold the market for sale, executives close to drug dealers, close to those who are skilled, assassinated assassins, dark slavers dealing with illegal slaves, etc. The main victims are the nobles who deal with and smoke sweet honey.

But the man did not fit it.

"Sure I sold drugs, but I'm down! I didn't kill me!" Sure, the shop where I was on the bouncer seemed to be trading illegal slaves behind the scenes, but I was nothing I didn't know!

You've already stripped your face, both the shopkeeper and the former owner! But why me now ... ? "

Desperately begging for a man, "The Face Stripper" pours water in a bottle.

"This is holy water. God has commanded me that sinners like you do not hesitate to be called to heaven. It is not the foundation of the defeat of the Demon King.

Until then, you will be complicit in human trafficking based on the evidence I have fabricated, but I'll make sure you're stigmatized once you're done. ''

"What, what are you talking about?-I don't know why-"

The voice of the tied man was unnaturally interrupted, and the Face Stripper poured more holy water and then began to peel his face.

The next morning, the man's face skin will be discovered along with the allegedly received money from the dark slaver and a letter accusing it.
