The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time

Episode 271: Darcia Zachart, Honorable Countess

Elf bard was practicing guitar in a corner of the red light district of Moxy.

Play the strings and play the sound while looking at the score. He looked up, playing a song through.

"Great score, very easy to understand."

The "true" Randolph, an S-class adventurer disguised as the elf bard Rudolph, so remarked Kanako.

"It's not a song or a guitar, it's a music score.

Kanako Tsuchiya, unaware of Rudolph's identity ... Kanako of Venus, a reincarnated person, smiled with a bitter smile.

"No, neither the guitar nor this song is bad. Edillia praised him, but learning from you is only fresh and it will be a great study."

Randolph applied to collect information about Vandalu, knowing that one of his friends, Kanako, was looking for a bard and dancer.

He was employed without any problems and learned a variety of instruments and techniques. Randolph is an elf who has lived for over a hundred years and is an experienced adventurer. Although the name is different, there are some string instruments, flutes and drums.

However, the performance of this guitar was interesting. The god of the strings, a member of Hill Shem's follower and female adventurer Edilia, was so engrossed that she forgot her main business.

The mechanism itself is simple, and there are many other similar instruments. The interesting thing is that the technique of playing is devised.

The same goes for the score that Kanako gave me.

"Kanako-san, as you probably know, the techniques of playing musical instruments are usually taught and learned by musicians. In many cases, they are not as secretive as martial arts or as magical as magic ... Often difficult.

There are many songs that do not have a score and you have to learn by listening to what you are playing. ''

Lambda also has a wide variety of music, and some are getting their daily food from music. But the doors are closed, except for the nobility of the royal family, who enjoy it as part of their culture and hobbies.

In many cases, professional musicians and singers are apprenticed and learned. After that, you can learn by yourself or steal by looking at it. Some of the slaves learn to sing and play to increase the value of the slaves.

In Randolph's case, he began singing and drumming as part of a ritual in his hometown village, which no longer exists. However, there were no textbooks or music scores, and adults provided oral explanations, with only practice following.

Guitar techniques, on the other hand, feel as if they were premised on teaching.

"The guitar playing technique you taught is constant and easy to understand, as if it were premised on learning by an unspecified number of people.

And more than that, this score. Every song is simple, easy to understand and uses the same writing style. `` Some performers write down music that only seems to be a different code for each song. ''

There is music in this world. There was, however, a variable way to write it down. It varies by history, country, and musician who wrote the score.

Because there was no need to unify the standards.

If he and his disciples understood it, the musician himself was in no trouble. And because he didn't teach music to as many children as the Earth did.

That's why Randolph truly praised him. Even if I was really a bard, Rudolph, I thought she would have praised her.

…… for the adventurer Randolph, I don't know if the lyrics and choreography will not go away.

If I were to sing the lyrics and dance the choreography, Randolph wouldn't be as good as I thought I would have escaped from town with disguise, acting, and purpose.

I'm saved as a bard and instrumentalist, so I didn't have to sing and dance.

"I heard you're from a dark elf's hidden village. Did you edit this song in that village?-Or, if you were?"

To deceive such inner feelings, Randolph spoke another topic in Kanako.

But Kanako was struggling to keep his face from becoming too tense.

"I don't want to. I didn't want to edit anything. It's a song I came up with, so it's natural that the score is the same. It's an honor to compliment me because it's easy to understand."

(Don't you notice that this song was written by a different person just by looking at the score !? Because it's a professional bard !?) But who are the other minstrels and dancers? I didn't even notice!)

Kanako told a bard and dancer she hired temporarily that she learned all the songs she learned in Earth and Origin that she wrote. That's because after thinking a lot, I thought it was better to be false to work in human society.

In the town of Morksey, as in the Vidal Demon Empire, you cannot publicize yourself as a reincarnation, and it is impossible to fake it as a song that is transmitted to the false hometown of the dark elves.

If the “setting” of a non-existent hidden village becomes too complicated, there may be inconsistencies in the words that Darussa and Kanako, who are from the same village, state.

So when asked about the origin of the song, it's better to say that you wrote it. Of course, there were those who were not convinced and doubted, but it was helpful that Kanako decided to be a dark elf. Because it is a long-lived eternal race, many songs live longer than they seem, and they will convince themselves that they wrote the song in that time.

So it was the first person like Randolph to see that a song was composed by an unspecified number of people.

"Is that so? I'm sorry, I'm not skeptical, but I feel like the habit is different for each song, and I wrote it exactly by another person."

"I've lived a long time. If I compare the first song with the newest song, it seems like it's a song written by someone else."

"Sure, Kanako is good at thinking about unusual songs, so it may be especially so."

With that said, Randolph went down and Kanako taught her all the songs while writing her sweat, and practice for that day opened.

Looking at her back, Randolph reflected, "I may have said something extra."

(It's obviously a lie to think about all the songs on your own ... but in the first place my purpose is to find out about Vandaloo. It's better to show off what I can do to deceive my inner feelings (I wondered if I was afraid, but I may have only been cautious.)

Randolph's disguise and his infiltration into Vandaloo's fellow bosom was to investigate him. Is there any connection with [Shards of the Demon King] ... Is the Demon King whispered among some Aldaists? Above all, you must find out if you have an idea that will lead this country to ruin.

If Vandalu is the second demon king, Gudranis, it is a crisis of the whole world, not just the Orbaum. In order to survive, you have to know what is happening in Vandalu.

(But whether or not you're involved with the Demon King's Fragment, you already know that your head isn't a Demon King)

While staying in Moxy for a few days and being employed by Kanako and getting to know other Vandaloo stakeholders, Randolph concluded that Vandaluoo was a demon king of Arda followers ... a ruthless and cruel, evil incarnation of evil. Came to know that it was far from it.

Apart from the spread of Gob Gob, the discovery of new species of monsters, and the achievements of Tames, the daily conduct and personality of Vandalu from the people of the city convinced them.

(I'm not a perfect good person, justice person, but it's true that he is compassionate. Everything is acting, so if you don't look directly, you can't make a conclusion ... I don't think it's a type)

The same goes for Kanakos and those who are allied to Vandaloo. It hides something, has some oddities, but doesn't seem evil.

Randolph thought it might be a bit dark, but within acceptable limits.

There are dukes who have ignored the resistance of the Resistance, which has continued its resistance movement against the occupation of the enemy, and have asked for the euthanasia of their lonely sister. …… I'm involved in that, too, is far from being a good person. Randolph muttered in his chest.

(And, apart from things related to Vandalu, there are big things happening. In the case of the resurrection of the evil god, it seems that Vandalu is involved ...)

The resurrection of Alklem, which happened without warning and was soon overwhelmed by Randolph. There is no information that Vandaloo was involved in it.

However, when exterminating the evil gods, it seems that Vandaloo's mother, Darussia, had joined in addition to Alchemic Five Knights. Timing should not be considered irrelevant either.

Randolph knows a little about the power of the Alchemic Five Knights, but not enough to defeat the resurrected evil god with only a small sacrifice. Unless he's seen Ralmeier or the victim Gordy who is not strong enough, the story of Darussia would have made a big difference.

Of course, resealing the evil gods is a good thing, but Randolph felt that the history of the incident was fragile.

(After all, I have to meet and see with my own eyes, I do not mind-)

"Hey, Elf brother! Can you order a song?"

"Yes, what shall we sing?"

After all, let's stay in the bard Rudolph for a while. Randolph decided so and began playing the song the drinker sought.

"I'm Rudolph, an elf bard who I just hired ... but it's crazy."

Meanwhile, Kanako was telling her friends in a dungeon in the fake Moxy town in the basement of Vandalu's house.

"Looking at the score and seeing that it was made by another person ... maybe Rudolph did know the Origin? And because he knew the song Kanako was referring to, it was made by another person He said. "

Asked by Basdia, Kanako replied, "No, I don't think so."

"Even if you don't remember your face or name, you may have intentionally changed it when you reincarnated. Going high in the short period before assassinating Van"

Reincarnated people often have the same gender and appearance as the previous life. It's not a coincidence, but the result of Rodcorte's efforts to keep the incarcerated from having mental problems. This is not the case if both parents were of non-Asian ancestry. Doug Atlas, who was Japanese in Earth, was reborn as a black man.

Basdia continued to ask whether Rodcorte may have stopped such considerations and sent reincarnates in a completely different appearance.

"Maybe it's there, but ... then it's weird to ask about the song. It's just good to be suspicious of yourself and there's no good thing."

However, Kanako did not think that Rudolph's behavior was that of a reincarnated infiltrator who infiltrated Vandaloo.

"It's about that suspicious, the movement is amateurish, and I'm familiar with this world. Above all, the playing skills are real."

"In other words, it doesn't seem like he has enough skills to assassinate a boy, he's not a reincarnate who has been beaten before he reincarnates his knowledge of the world and his musical skills."

Zadiris understands Kanako's words.

The former shows that Randolph, who is disguised as Rudolph, was good at acting and hiding his ability. The latter is natural because he is not a reincarnation.

"How do you describe the song? I guess what you gave it was in this world style?"

"Yes, I had a hard time being plain."

Kanako did not write the Origin song on music as it was. In particular, the lyrics have changed somewhere to make sense in this world.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for people from different cultures to notice that the songs were made in different eras from the wording of the lyrics and metaphorical expressions.

"Unexpectedly, I may have just thought so after seeing Kanako's reaction."

But Eleonora points out that. A female vampire, who had infiltrated a criminal organization as a mistress, had healed the tiredness of a tough dance lesson with a red-black drink.

"I don't know in the world where Vans used to be, but the bard in this world speaks better than a peddler and reads better at the hearts of others. Some bards are not uncommon.

So, while listening to the story, you may feel strange about your expression and voice and just try to hit it. ''

"Sure, you may have been upset about what you were upset. You're confident in your performance, but because you weren't conscious and vigilant. Hmm"

To explain Eleonora, Kanako sighed. She also performed as an idol for a while in the previous life, trained in the army, trained in the army, and sneaked into the terrorist organization `` Eighth Guidance '', so it is possible to keep her from reading inside her mind It is.

However, after becoming a member of Vandaloo, he had no connection with his acting skills. He realized that he was less alert about psychological warfare.

"In the fight against monsters, I can't help but read my heart. If I can kill my face like a boy, I'll be fooled."

"Is this it?"

"... I was bad"

Zadiris apologized to Kanako, who had no facial expression as if she had all her facial expressions removed.

"I don't have enough loving and scary to be described as a van."

"Because the expression below the husband's neck is richer than the face. I don't know how scary it is."

"It looked more like a zombie than a zombie."

Eleonora commented on the impression of the mad madness of Vandaloo, and was supplemented by Belmond, who had prepared tea, and Basdia gave a simple comment. Apparently, Kanako's impersonation does not seem to be highly rated.

"Anyway, how about Rudolph, what's up with me? I'm good at it, so I'm just going to teach me songs ... and singing and dancing, and I want him to be a missionary in idol culture. "

Kanako seems to be planning that if Rudolph masters the idol song and dance, the idol culture will spread as long as he continues his journey, since bards mostly live the rootless grassy life of travel.

This is a terrible plan that Randolph could hear and immediately disappear. But no one objected to the plot. Kanako hired a bard, dancer, and adventurer who wanted to travel and knew that the purpose of teaching songs, dances, and songs was for this scheme.

"Is that okay with that policy? I said yes, but I'm not really seriously suspicious that that guy is an intelligence operative. I just wanted to say they could be misplaced. ''

Eleonora doesn't seem to stop Kanako's plot. In fact, she and Belmondo have met Rudolph.

Since they have almost crushed the infiltrated criminal organizations and controlled only the information network, they no longer have to act as the lovers of the command, but they have appeared and behaved as anyone with Vandaloo's companionship.

And since Vandalu departed for Al Krem, I was taking Kanako lessons.

In the past, they both avoided using stage bracelets as well as stage debuts, but when they received handmade bracelets from Vandaloo and practiced further to members such as Privel and Gizania, they could not keep their eyes on I couldn't.

If left unchecked, all other women close to Vandaloo may be able to sing and dance. After that, it was hard to catch up, so I decided to join the lesson from now.

In a lesson in which he had overcome the conflict, he met Rudolf several times.

"And if you're an intelligence minstrel, you should disguise yourself more obscurely. It's hard to imagine a blue-haired elf like Rudolph coming up in a prominent manner."

Belmondo said, "I think so."

"The agents should have been trained, but I don't see that from Rudolf. It seems they have some knowledge, but they are for self-defense.

And from his passion for music, he seemed to be a pure person with no back and forth. ''

"I'm going to retract that statement. For Rudolph, you might want to be a little more cautious."

"Yes, it may be suspicious now."

"That's right. Let's be careful."

"What, why?"

Belmond is confused as soon as he describes himself as a genuine person, watching everyone start watching Rudolph. But that's not surprising.

Before becoming a member of Vandaloo, she spent more than 90% of her 10,000-year-old life alone in maintaining and maintaining retreats on the shores of the underground lake. It is.

"Even though I'm cautious, Rudolph doesn't have to do anything because he or she and the townspeople are interviewing vans or singing songs.

There's no sign of trying to sneak into the house. ''

"As a bard, it's normal behavior. Miles says," I feel a little too enthusiastic. "

What's more, there's no other talent than Rudolph? "

Kanako, told Eleonora, named one of the teachers.

"Edilia-san, who was interested in guitars recently, seems to like the guitar performance more than singing and dancing."

"Oh, I'm the girl who had the holy sign of the 'string god.' The 'string god' is a pillar of the gods of the Ardas ... well, she's blessed to say she's a believer I'm not sure. It's good. "

"Yes, it's a name I've never heard of, and it's just a follower of the majority of the gods of Arda in this city."

Edelia, who Kanako gave her name and thought that Zadiris and Basdia were not alarming, was actually one of the hero candidates who was given the protection of "The String God", Hilshem, but ... It was still unknown, so I didn't notice it.

"Speaking of which, there seems to be no Doug and Melissa?"

"In Melissa, I went with Miles to talk to Carlos to stop him from following him, and he followed them because it was his own problem."

"Speaking of Carlos, he's always in the front row these days. Why is he wearing a doug?"

"I want to be a part of the party.

Carlos, a hero candidate under the protection of Rubikante, the god of the heat. He was obsessed with the charm of idol concerts and Doug's hidden abilities in the city of Moxy.

Of course, Kanako and others are not aware that they are hero candidates.

"Once you're done with Rudolph, you may want to give a talk at the Alcrem, or just concentrate on preparing to perform on the Demon King's continent ... no, nurturing human resources within the Vidal Demon Empire You also need things.

By the way, when do you plan to return? I don't want to write a reply to the letter I just received, so I'm not delaying my return, right? "

Asked by Kanako to switch his consciousness and plan his future, the turret-type tsumaou answered after turning his eyeballs far.

"I'm leaving the town two days after the ceremony I'm doing now, so it's going to be about 10 days before I can come to Moxy town.

Replying to the letter ... I'm tired, but I'll write it. "

At that time, in the Al Krem, praising the success of Dulcia, the `` Al Krem Five Knights '', all the knights and soldiers who participated in the battle, the heroes of Vida, who fought well to reseal the resurrected evil god Forzagival, Duke of Takkad Al Krem, A speech was made in memory of the sacrifice paid.

"In this battle, the evil gods have made this Al Krem ... and the sacrifice made to protect the world is great. The family of the Holy Land of the Wilds, who has kept the seal of the evil gods for many years, is one of the Lords of the Alchemic Five Knights, their head and self-confidence, and the Knight of the Fallen Mountain, Gordy.

Their dedication and loyalty are examples of the world. '

The knights, guards and Volgadon believers who don't know the truth weep as they hear the magically louder speech.

The Goldi, who were actually demons who imitated humans and were servants of evil gods, surely had their dedication and loyalty. Something that should not be modeled.

"But they should still be watching us with the help of the" God of the Mountain, "Volgadon! The only thing we can do to those who are left is to live a life that is ashamed of them!

I swear here. Be sure to protect this Duke of Al Krem and rebuild the Temple of the Holy Land in the Wilderness!

So if the Duke declared. Volgadon muffled around Vandalu muttered.

"Please, please. If they were nearby, I couldn't maintain the world.

"Because it's a speech, the Duke doesn't really think that the Goldies are with you."

Whilst whispering, the speech progressed, with a memorial memorial to the victims of the incident and a bronze statue honoring Goldi's dedication and loyalty.

Given the identity of the victim and Gordi, it is an exceptional treat in human history. Until the truth is revealed, it will be a new tourist attraction in Al Krem.

By the way, the temple of the Sanctuary of the Wild, which the Duke promised to rebuild, is to be rebuilt as the temple of the Vida's "God of the Mountains", Volgadon, rather than the temple of the "God of the Mountains" of Volgadon.

Previously, statues of the Gods of Honor, Alda and Bellwood, and bas-reliefs of other gods of the Ardas were adorned, but in the new temple statues and bas-reliefs of the Vida gods, including the newly added Bashas, were displayed. It will be decorated.

"Now, those who succeed in this battle will be rewarded."

And from the speech, the award was announced. At first, of course, Gordy, the deceased, he was granted the Marquis Order. … Since all the members of the clan have been confirmed dead, no one is actually in the rank of the Marquis, but in this way they pose and direct the hero to the fullest.

Next, a medal is awarded to all members of the Al Krem 5 Knight. People who saw the appearance of "Knight of the Eyes" Lalmere, whose hair was white and not returning, were buzzing, but it was about to proceed without any problems.

And it's the time Vandalou has been waiting for.

"Dalcia Zaccato shall be honored with the name of the Duke of Al Krem!

The audience was overwhelmed. This is because Vida's new races, especially long-lived races like the Dark Elves, have never been honorary nobles.

But the buzz was not a negative thing, and many nodded, cheered and applauded to welcome Darussia to be the Count of Honor. Because she knows she was active in fighting evil gods.

It is probably the duke's plan to close the hole through which Goldi escapes by holding Darusia an honorable noble in the Duke of Al Krem. Some nobles and merchants interpreted this, but no one was outright.

The people who have a bitter face are the officials of the Temple of Arda and the opportunistic Temple of Vida.

"I will order my worship"

The duke's shaking hand lightly touches Dulcia's shoulder with his ceremonial long sword. This made Darussia the honorary Earl of the Orbaum election.

Darussia bowed again to the sweaty duke and returned to beside Vendaloo, smiling.

"Vandaloo is now a member of the aristocracy, but was it really nice to be an honorary aristocrat? Was that your goal?"

"Yes. This time, it's more natural for my mother, not me, to be an honorary noble."

In this case, Darussia was active in a position that people could understand. Vandalu is behind the scenes, too unnatural for many who do not know the truth when he is valued more than her.

And if Darussia has the power of an honorary noble, sidelines from other nobles and the Temple of Arda will be difficult. It will be less likely to ask for its own weight, like the Vida Temple Chief.

In addition, even if the honorary noble cannot be hereditary, the family of the honorary aristocrat will be treated as an "aristocrat family" as long as the person who has received the honorary aristocracy lives.

In other words, Darussia's son, Vandalu, is also a member of the nobility.

The problem later was that D'Alcia had passed beyond Vandalu to become an honorary noble who was a dream ... Vandalu had no concern at all.

"In addition, I am proud of my mother and everyone."

When Danderu said so, Darussia smiled deeply.

The ceremony ended shortly after the Duke struggled to award the tall Gizania a medal and reward Arthurs with a bounty.

"Yes. Vandaloo, my status also has Zacht's last name!-This is the same!"

"It's amazing, it's a celebration tonight."
