The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 257: The Husband of the Eyes Relieved
With the appearance of a commercial guild, Vandaloo was able to get around the guild master's task, avoiding all the annoyances, and completing the task as soon as possible.
"Some people don't seem to be very popular.
The various troubles were the so-called “profitable stories” brought by merchants. The contents are one-third the same as the one brought in by Joseph, the subguild master of the commercial guild in Moxy. One-third talks about transforming orthoses, invented by Vandaloo. And the rest was almost all about Muse, Marol and Juliana.
Marols, a new kind of demons, Empusa, which is actually different but seems to be a new kind, and materials of rare Arachne and Scylla in this area ... I want you to sell hair loss, salivation, shells after shedding A modest story to say. On the other hand, it seems that there was even an uneasy story about buying Juliana for pets.
The former story isn't fun for the muses, anyway. It is physiologically unacceptable for a large number of men and women with glaring eyes to be asked for hair loss, salivation, and shells.
If the guild master rebuked the merchants who gathered, and had not driven them away, then Bandaruu's [Evil Eye of the Demon King] would have been rampant.
"I sincerely apologize as the person who manages the commercial guild. But don't misunderstand that the merchants here are all that kind of people. They have little experience as a merchant or you are stupid who do not learn from experience. The merchant just suddenly went into a paranoid delusion, and the serious merchant hasn't moved, he must be stout and observing you.
So, forget about the one who said she wanted to buy her. I will be very careful, so I will do it as soon as possible. "
Yes, the commercial guild master turned to the Vandalus. He knew the face of Yuliana, the youngest sister of the duke, unlike the young merchants who went into light delusions.
He couldn't understand why it was a child of the Minotaur variant, but he seemed to think that a small merchant wasn't a good deal to deal with.
"I got a business license in this town for the time being, and the farmer who grows sugar beet taught me, so let's do it."
Vandalou, sitting on a bench in the town's central square, told Muse and Privel.
"In fact, there were some ordinary merchants."
It wasn't the ones who came out of the commercial guild who asked them to give up their shells and hair loss after the introductory essay, `` I'm sorry to ask a young woman for this kind of thing, '' Some merchants came in contact with Hungry Security Guard.
Vandaloos and others deal with such merchants accordingly. That said, the former only responded and made a verbal promise, "if there was an opportunity."
"The molt is once a year, and I don't carry my hair off. It's bad for them, but the drooling resistance is ..."
"I can't help it. If I look into our hair and shells, we don't know what will come out.
"Nostalgic ... It's as delicious as I ate before."
And after leaving the commercial guild, the Vandalus were buying and eating in the central square.
In the central square of the metropolis Al Krem, there are a variety of dining outlets, ranging from well-kept, well-off luxury shops to shops for the ordinary people who offer cheap meals.
Among them, the Bandarurus focused on the products sold at the stalls, and purchased and eaten around the edges.
"You guys ... it's bold to buy a product at the other party's store, even in a duel tonight."
In the morning, Sandy from Plenty of Sandwiches, who applied for a duel with Vandalu as the representative of Alclem Stall Five-pointed Star, is looking at her eyes with a mix of apprehension and admire.
Vandaloo's luggage also contained pentagram merchandise other than the many sandwiches sold at her stalls.
"It's a duel tonight, because if you don't research in advance what you can sell to the people in the duel and to the Alcrems, you won't win.
And you're the one who wanted me to come before the duel because I wanted to have a meeting. ''
"Yeah, I'm glad you came out early, so how about my sandwich?"
"It's delicious. It's particularly good that the sauce is ingenious."
Sandy, also known as Sandy, has plenty of tools sandwiched between it and its appearance. The bread is not white bread made of flour but black bread made of millet. However, the thick sour bread goes well with the ingredients.
The sauce hung on the ingredients, as mentioned by Vandaloo, is also exquisite. Since there is no mayonnaise or ketchup in human society, it is naturally not used in sandwich sauce. However, herbs and fruit skins and minced minced vegetables are intertwined in a complicated manner, making it a taste that will not make you tired.
"Huh, you know?"
"The best thing is that it's cheap and cheap, so it's profitable even if you keep selling prices down. It's delicious, cheap, and eatable. You can see how popular it is with people. "
"Oh yeah, I understand ... Isn't that a little over-the-top at that age? Miss, are you your wisdom?"
At first, Sandy, who seemed to be in a good mood, turned to the Privels with a suspicious look at Vandaloo's evaluation and analysis.
"No, some people are the first to come to a human town, so they are the first to buy and eat. By the way, Sandy, are the food stalls good?"
In fact, the muzes have had a foraging experience in countries inside the Border Mountains, but when they entered the Al Krem, they lied so that the settings told to the knights would not fail, and would try to further distort the topic .
"Oh, I don't cook at my stalls. The sandwiches I make at home are sold at the stalls, so when they sell out, the business is over.
I usually close the store by now and return to my husband who has a sandwich to sell at dinner. But I have a meeting today. ''
Sandy, who was distracted by Muse's aim, said that four people approached from behind her.
"Before the meeting, I have to introduce myself and apologize. I'm a freaky soup."
"I'm a par-pal of Burning Rice"
"Hello, my name is 'Chamber the Mitchem.'"
"I'm Tom of" Sweet Sweets. "... Please listen deeply to these two awful names."
A middle-aged man who seems to be powerful, a dwarf man with strong hair and beard, and a woman around 20 years old, an old man who looks like a grandfather. Each of them gave their name, and Tom, who seemed to be the coordinator, reopened his mouth.
"Add Sandy there, and we're the 'Alkrem stall five-pointed star.'
With that said, Tom bowed lightly, and Sandy apologized to Bandarrou and others.
"No, it's rumor, and I don't mind.
"No, no, the Sandy and the others who were really insulted by the gossip and we who could not be disturbed are bad. I wouldn't have had it. ''
In Tom's words, Sing and Parpalas looked away from the rules.
Apparently, Sandy and the three genuinely heard the gossip and started a duel or confrontation, but Tom and Mitchem seemed to try to stop it.
"I told you that you don't mind the rumor, because there are many complaints."
"That was a wet suit, but he took me in a duel. I'm grateful.
"Again, don't worry.
"Um, it's a duel method, but I'm going to determine the win or loss based on sales and the total number of customers. Regardless of the ranking, I will end up saying," Let's do our best each other. " What about shaking hands and ending? "
Without betting on store signs, merchandise, places of business, etc., the end is a settlement. Although it is Yuya Muya as a victory or defeat in a duel, it will be just a good end to the event.
In fact, Vandaloo doesn't intend to continue stalls in the Al Krem, so winning a sign or business location would only be a nuisance.
"I have no objection, but one more thing. If I win, decorate this on the stall."
However, Vandalu took out the cloth from his luggage under such conditions. It features security guards and the heart symbol, Vida's holy sign, on the stalls.
"This is a good cloth. It's a good cloth. You didn't tell the temple to do anything fancy?"
When the wise Tom asked the town gossip, Vandalu shook his head.
"It was my mother who was told, not me, and this is not a missionary activity, but a business."
Sophisticated, but originally had no authority to bind the actions of the Vandalus to the Temple of Vida in Al Krem. It was just a request.
Of course, if the request from the temple is neglected and the provocative imitation of the temple of Arda and the believers is carried out, the reputation of Vandaloo and Darussia will deteriorate.
But this should be fine. For the townspeople, this duel is just an event.
"I see. I don't care. You don't have to put it under an umbrella or something like that. Isn't it really easy to tell which stall won?"
And they don't seem to disagree. Simply hanging a flag on a stall does not change anything from normal business and has a time limit.
You may have hated if they were followers of God other than the enthusiastic Vida, but that's not true.
"I guess Tom will lose first at dinner. What if he got it now?"
"Thing, don't tell the truth! I'm just before the game!"
"Is it true? Tom old, I'm a fan of Van, but the cake in your shop was very good. I think you should be more confident in your cooking."
To Gizania, who described the cake he bought at Tom's stall, Tom smiled happily with his wrinkles.
"As long as I'm happy that the lady of Arachne will be pleased with my cake. Even if the race is different, it's sweet for girls.
Then, at dinner time, the products in my store sell less than during the day. ''
"My sandwiches are going to fall a little too. Instead, they sell perpalus fried rice and singing soup. At dinner time, the customer base changes."
When the sun goes down, the percentage of young women who try to eat easily around here decreases, leaving workers, adventurers, and guards who have completed their jobs. They seem to be looking for the main dish for dinner and the food they sell at the cheerful Parpalas and Sing stalls.
Of course, some people want to add sweet desserts to dinner, but Toms are called "Alkrem stalls pentagrams", but they're still stalls. Such customers often use restaurants.
"It's not impossible for married adventurers and guards to sell because they come to buy souvenirs for their families who are waiting at home.
So when Sandy jumps out saying she's applying for a duel, I'm impatient. ''
"No, at that time, I was going to apply for a duel at noon tomorrow. The conditions were also in our favor.
That was the case, so I was out of tune. ''
"Well, let's do our best anyway. Our stalls came."
As he turned his gaze, he saw his stall and a waving hand of Darussia drawn by Hof and Mohne during the crowd.
As a result of the research, the dishes that Vandaloo cooks during the duel are ... skewers.
"Because the preparation period is only a few hours. I can not change the dishes significantly. Otherwise I will cook steamed bread ... meat meat because this area is still cold."
Noodles did not develop in this world, but steamed bread was present. It is said that an unsellable baker who lived in a hot spring resort wondered if he could make bread with hot steam to save fuel costs, and tried it.
However, steamed bread is called “hot spring bread” and is treated as a local gourmet in a hot spring area, so it seems to be unfamiliar outside the hot spring area. For this reason, Vandaloos never actually ate what steamed bread in human society was like.
"Well then, wouldn't it be nice to change the duel time tomorrow or tomorrow, master?"
"Nataña, I'm confident that Vandaloo will win with skewers, because his technology is clearly ahead of him."
Just as Juliana said. Vandaloo's [cooking] skill level is 8. Even if you are the chef of a main restaurant or a prestigious aristocrat, it's not bad.
On the other hand, Sandy and Tom's "Cooking" skills of "Alclem stall five-pointed star" will not be so high. It was a famous stall owner, and the food he ate was delicious, but it shouldn't be better than Vandaloo.
"But Juliana, the level of the [cooking] skill isn't the only thing that determines the game, especially for Van."
"Huh, sure!"
Juliana knew what the word meant, and Juliana was surprised. In human society, he remembered that Vandalu could not use a number of seasonings, ingredients, and recipes for various reasons, such as to make it a specialty or export of the Vidal Empire in the future.
"But I think we can go to the point. We didn't have a skewered stall on the pentagram, so we can show our personality. We could aim for the third place, maybe the second place."
"Isn't aiming for the first place?
"I'm sorry I don't aim, Muse. If a newcomer has a big face, I hate it."
Win some of the pentagrams and lose some. Then, they shake hands with each other and say, "I'll do it."
This would be the ideal settlement for a stall duel.
It is not good for Vandalou to defeat him and say, "I have defeated" Alkrem stall five-pointed star! "
"... I think the newcomers did a lot of work at Moxy."
"That's because Joseph turned his hand and did the sabotage, and Hajime and others got involved. Without it, I would still have been a modest skewers stall owner."
Throwed into Natania, Vandaloo transferred responsibility to Josef and the reincarnate Hajime Inui, who came and attacked him as Fitin the God of the Thundercloud.
"But still, I think there's an orphanage and Vircain, and I think it's Simon's teacher because it's Vandalu. In the end, it might not have changed much since now."
However, Darussia says so and sinks. Destroyed, but did not stop the preparation.
"By the way, it's not the meat of the Thunder Dragon or Mountain Giant, it's just the oak, impairable, and mad boa meat. It's not bad food, but is that okay?"
"Huh? Is that so?"
When Darussia points out, Pribel, who had not noticed, looks at Vandalu's skewer with a surprised face.
There are dungeons from B class to E class around Al Krem, where many adventurers are based. For this reason, there are many demon-derived ingredients on the market.
For that reason, rank 3 oak and impairable meats are not uncommon. Alkrem stall five-pointed star is also commonly used outside of Tom's specialty sweets stand.
In fact, it is used in sandwiches, soups, and onigiri that Bandarou bought.
A rank 4 mudbore also uses fewer stores than oak, but it's not unusual.
The taste and rarity are different from the meat of the Rank 8 Thunder Dragon.
"Yes. Even if you win a duel with too good ingredients, it's bad foresight and appearance."
"That's true. I don't want to be forced to win with just the ingredients, not the skill or ingenuity of cooking.
Oh, so I wonder if I should stop transforming and selling? "
"I don't mind that. I knew that she was a selling girl."
"But do you care about hearing and appearance? Now?"
"And in the town of Moxie, it was a win-win situation."
Gizania and Natania are amazed by the words of Vandalu and Darussia.
Gizania, a large species of Arachne that has a lower body of a spider larger than the stalls, and the stalls of Vandaloo with pribels and muses attract the eyes of people passing by. For the most part, it's just curiosity, but there are a few gazes with negative emotions such as disgust, fear, and anger.
Gizania thought that because he was taking him, he said he wouldn't mind hearing or formatting.
And, as Natania pointed out, one of the reasons that the stalls of Vandalu in the town of Moxie came to the fore was that they sold cheap and tasty skewers of monsters. There are several other factors, such as the fact that Vandaloo himself and Darcia, the seller, are a rare race.
"I care about it. I'm a Vida follower, the moodie's" Stall King, "" The True Ruler of the Red Light District, "and the hearing and appearance as" The Patron Saint of Transformation Gear. " It doesn't matter if you don't like races and followers, so don't worry if you think about it now.
It was just a business in the town of Morksey, but this time it is a duel and a game. There are no clear rules, but that's why I feel sick in a ruleless competition ... you don't have to win that much. "
The Vandaloos are not moving to Al Krem at this time. Once the audience with the Duke is over and the problem with the fake facelifter and Arthur is resolved, he will return to Moxy.
You won't get anything if you try to beat a pentagram opponent.
"So, do you still take your time?"
"No. I will fight seriously after obeying the tacit rules and the restrictions I set .... I will look for some of the victims of false" face peeling "and the spirits of witnesses It may be better to go to the place where the corpse was found before going to bed and see if it has become a landlocker. "
And Vandaloo thought that this visible duel would be a landmark for Arthur to get his reply.
"By the way, what about Lalmaire, who is monitoring this, Mr. Vandaloo? It looks like you're searching for something
In the morning, perhaps Sandy and others put "rumors" in the ears and fueled them. Chipras, who reports on him, points to a piece of the square and asks for directions.
"... Let's just continue monitoring and get up, I don't know what we want to do.
If you are the owner of [Magic Eye of Appraisal] and want to see our status, then at first glance it should be enough. "
"Yes. Let's go back to monitoring. "
When Chipplus returned to Lalmea's surveillance, Simon and Kthia returned in return, with a cart pulling Fang.
"Teacher! I bought just enough to buy cheese that melts with heat!"
"Do you use it for sauces? Or maybe it's cheese skewers?"
"Katsuya's idea seems interesting too, but this time I'm thinking of putting cheese on it."
And the preparation proceeded, and the duel has finally begun.
Simple tables and benches are set up in a part of the central square to enjoy meals and tea outdoors. Lamaria, the Knight of the Eyes, sat down on one of the benches and continued his operations in the central square.
Chipras, and the Vandalous who received reports from them, were also skeptical, but the purpose of Lalmeier's instigating the "Alclem stall five-pointed star" and inducing a duel turmoil was, of course, the [Magic Eye of Surveying] Is to measure your skills and abilities.
But why a cooking showdown? If you want to see your abilities, you should send gorotsuki or thugs to them instead of the owner of a specialty stall.
(Those who don't know the power of My Surveying Eyes will think so. My Surveying Eyes will give accurate numbers just by looking at them, except for the external features of the object. (You can't measure it unless you're serious about its abilities and skills.)
Based on reports from the spies of the Alchemic Duchess in the town of Morksey, and rumors about the story, the mother's dark elf is at least equivalent to a B-class adventurer, Vandalu himself is unknown, but his followers are also powerful There should be a collection of individuals, and he doesn't seem like a helpless boy of apparent and current adventurer guild grades.
His disciples, Simon in "Hiken" and Natania in "Iron Cat," are also C-class adventurers. The new followers Arachne and Scylla won't rank as declared at the gate.
Would they be more or less serious and repulsive against the gorotsuki and thugs? It will fold properly without showing the fragment of ability.
In the first place, there is no way to easily prepare a discarded piece with enough strength to make a B-level adventurer-equipped influential person demonstrate his / her ability to some extent. Someone who has a connection to the Duke of Al Krems ... If you are willing to apply for the skill of a knight serving the duke, someone of the same five knights as Lalmair, or a B-class or higher adventurer who has a connection, even if you can try to test your skills It can, with a high probability, incite the vigilance of the Vandaloos and jeopardize an unofficial audience ahead of them.
(In that regard, cooking, singing, and dancing are easy. You can peacefully exercise a certain degree of seriousness. Of course, you cannot directly measure the level of combat skills, but the ability value is accurate It is possible to measure.
Use your head in cooking and move your hand quickly to know your intelligence and agility. If you use your physical strength, you will know your physical strength, and if you move the magic stove, you will know your magical power. There is also a word that dance leads to Take. ... Well, I don't know if they sing or dance.
Well, let's measure their power in this special seat.)
Lalmeia sits on a bench with a view of Vandaloo stalls. Fortunately, they bring Arachne and Scylla, which are rare in this area, and are attracting glances from the people around them. Even if he diligently observes the Vandaloos, he will only seem to be one of the many spectators.
…… In fact, although Chipplus had already found it and had been observed in reverse by the Vandaloos, Lalmea didn't notice.
(Anyway, from the numbers. First, from Vandalu ... First of all, how do you say that your [training] skill is not effective even though you have a follower?
[Cooking] is ... 8 levels! ? Stupid, the age is… I guess it's eleven as it looks! ? One of the pentagrams, Tom Tom has 6 levels. The chef of the Dukes of Al Krems has 7 levels. It's been decades of experience to say it, but only an eleven-year-old boy has exceeded it! ? )
At first, Ralmeier, who was quick to get rid of his skill in [cooking] that had nothing to do with his original purpose, continued to measure the ability of Vandaloo.
(The magic power is unknown, but all the other abilities are in thousands!) It's such a bullshit! It's more than we can match the five knights!
Is he really an eleven-year-old boy? No, maybe ... his father is not a dependent or precious species ... is he a direct line of the original vampire! ? )
Fortunately for him at this time, the stalls in Vandalu were cooking with the fire of Princess Levia, a ghost with fire attributes, rather than a magic stove. If we were to roughly measure the power of Vandaloo, he might have screamed so much in fear.
However, even just measuring the ability value other than magic power, his mind was overwhelmed too much and a hole seemed to be open.
(Unexpected. He expected that he would be a type of tamer who could fight as such, but it was definitely an A-class adventurer.
No way, other guys! ? )
Lalmeier turns his [surveying magic] to Simon, Natania, and prominent Gizanians guarding and selling around the stalls. Numerical values, such as height, weight, age, etc., are first displayed on his consciousness, and then the ability values are displayed.
The numbers aren't very accurate, though, because the Simons aren't doing any work.
(Is that the case with other people too?)
However, given the inaccuracy of the figures, Gizania's abilities were high. In fact, the abilities of Gizanians who have been working in a number of jobs at around rank 10 have reached the level of A-class adventurers.
Simon and Natania, and Juliana aren't ... but that's just lower than that of Vandaloo and Gizania, not that they are weak. And in the case of two people, there is a prosthesis.
(A magic item called transforming brace used by Ghoul and the Dark Elf, an artificial limb of "Flying Sword" and "Iron Cat", which is unusual. Defense, flexibility, and, above all, magical power included This magic item is an order of magnitude higher! With such magic power, if you introduce tens of thousands of magicians ... No, you used the magic stone of a high rank monster? What ?!)
At that time, not only the saleswoman in front of Lalmeier's eyes, but also the drunken man who was trying to force him to take him to Kachia, who was delivering a dish on a leaf instead of a dish like a waitress. He was beaten with his own hands.
An adventurer or mercenary drunk man in a Kachian sleeve drew his sword and repelled him with a wooden stick he had held for protection. Lalmea, who was watching the situation with [Magic Eye of Surveying], was even more surprised.
(If [Swordsmanship] is level 7! Ghoul's skill is so high .... The strength I heard in the rumors is not due to the transformational equipment and the enhancement of the applied magic, but exceeds our imagination in its raw state. (I mean he had the power)
Until then, Lalmea was a genie that was intelligent enough to speak human language, but at best rank 3 in its bare state and no rank 6 or higher in recent years, a major threat. I was aware.
But that seemed a big mistake.
(That's what I said to be "Knight of the Eyes", it's cold sweating just by measuring the ability value. But if you do not measure the skills other than [cooking], I will match the Duke. (No face)
The first thing I saw was Darussia, who sang and danced lightly in response to customer requests. Ordinary skills such as [singing] and [butoh] calm his spirit.
(Hm? [Self-reinforcement: Vandaloo], [Ability Strengthening: Creator], [Enhancement of vitality] !?] [Resistance to abnormalities], [Strength] !? Is this woman really a dark elf ?? )
However, a lot of passive skills that a normal dark elf can't have, cold sweats on Ralmeier's back.
(This is [self-enhancement: guidance] !? That is, this woman is led by someone ... Is it led by a guru ?!)
Lalmeier, who surveyed Darussia's skill, noticed that there were somebody around her with a grooming job.
He also knows about the mentor. Except for the Bellwood heroes, this job is said to have never existed more than once in the same period in history.
Its influence exceeds that of S-class adventurers.
Where is the guru who leads Darussia? Lalmeier looks at the promising candidate. With consciousness, while repeating such things that it is impossible.
However, as a result of surveying the passive skills of Vandaloo, it is confirmed that [guidance] skills exist.
([Guiding] and [Self-strengthening: Religion] !? Why this is a tamer but no [Torture] skills ?! This guy is not training a subordinate. What's the Abyss ? What is the Abyss?
Anyway, I have to report this to His Excellency! )
Vandaloo is a guru. Immediately after that, Lalmeier stood up on the bench and tried to turn himself. But it couldn't.
Unexpectedly, I realized I was staring at Vandaloo.
"Hit!"
A scream leaks out of your mouth. Not so clearly, Lalmeier was conscious. That I am reflected in the empty eyes of Vandaloo.
And understand instinctively. Vandalu noticed that he was looking into his status.
(This is killed. I die here!)
Lalmere illusioned at the sight of a strange monster crawling from the abyss deep in the eyes of Vandaloo, convinced of his death. But when he stared at him for a few seconds, he did nothing special and turned his gaze.
The order begins with a large man carrying the customer's great sword.
(Did you miss it? I am this)
It was neglected to defeat it if it was not a major threat. Ralmeier notices this and runs away, irrespective of suspicious glances from the surroundings.
What filled his chest was not humiliation, but the joy and relief of saying, "I can still live!"
