The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
Episode 285: Relaxing Tea Time
The String God, Hilshem, had a serious problem. No, until a while ago Rubicante, the god of the heat, had the same serious problems as him, but he is now more serious.
After giving blessing and raising a young hero candidate who had grown up, he gave an oracle to keep him away from the Demon King, Vandalu.
Fortunately, officials of the Demon King do not realize that Edilia, whom he provided blessing, and Carlos, whom Rubikante provided blessing, are hero candidates raised to defeat Vandaloo.
… It may have been fortunate that he did not make any outstanding achievements as an adventurer in this town. Hirshem and Rubicante thought so.
But this luck does not last long. The Demon King Vandalu is expected to return to this town.
If Edilia and Carlos meet Vandaloo in the current state ... it's hard to admit, but they may be led.
Vandaloo's guidance is too unknown to the Ardas. I don't know what philosophy will lead me, so I have no idea what to do.
Since he appears to be a Vida believer, one can guess it is probably close to the doctrine of the Goddess of Life and Love, Vida.
But then, why would a beast-type or plant-type monster, which still has no undead or intelligence, be introduced? Their knowledge cannot explain.
As a result, Edilia, a follower of the god of Arda, Hirshem, could be led to Vandaloo.
Especially when you are involved in the officials of the Demon King Vandalu.
"That's why I had set up an oracle to leave that town, but for some reason I can hardly get it. No, I guess that because now, Edilia's heart was more inclined to the new music taught by that girl than me ... No way, even that girl wakes up as a guru and Edilia is led!
Instead of holding his head, Hirschem strummed at the harp, expressing disappointment and anger at his neglect.
What time is it? Hirschem thought so reflexively, but realized that it was useless to think.
There are many places out of sight of the border mountains, the Demon Continent, and the gods of the Ardians. And Vandaloo possesses Gufadogan, the evil god who follows him. Kanako may have moved to those places, gained experience, and changed jobs.
Where and during what time A bigger problem for him than that is that he, who is a wind-oriented god and at the same time manages string instruments, that is, music, did not realize that Kanako could be a guru. He was regrettable of it.
"To date, there are many musicians who have sung unusual playing methods and unique songs, performed their own dances, and tried to spread them. Why did she become a guru?
A guru is an idea. That is also a unique idea. A song or song based on Vida's doctrine or Vandaloo's thoughts would not be able to become a mentor. '
It is not possible to become a mentor simply by teaching and spreading the doctrine of Vida. If you can do that, all priests working in the missionary work are leaders. Spreading it is the same in Vandaloo's ideas. You can become a fanatic but not a guru.
In pursuit, those who follow cannot be guru.
"After all, is that girl ... Kanako Tsuchiya a reincarnated person? Do you say that songs and dances have something more than novelty that has never existed in this world? If it is , it means that you can understand that Arda-sama hates the God who sent the reincarnation. '
More than 100,000 years ago, the seven heroes summoned to this world from different worlds all developed a guru job. Because they had ideas that were not in this world and wanted to spread them. In other words, it was inevitable that he was from a different world and that the Ardas sought help in fighting the Demon King Gudranis.
The hero who has become a symbol of fighting at the forefront of the people of this world, teaching new tactics and training methods to those who develop new weapons and spread knowledge.
So when God turned out to be a guru, many gods thought he was a reincarnation.
However, reincarnations other than Vandaloo have not been awakened to their guru before.
It is not certain that the second reincarnation sent by Rodcorte, Kanata Kaito, died without experiencing any job change, but it is unknown, but Hajime Inui and Junpei Murakami who have reincarnated but have already disappeared are mentors. There was no sign of becoming.
So are Asagi Minami, who is still alive, Mao Smith and Kaor Gotouda, who have left Bang Gaia, and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Hartner, who has just regained his personality and memory.
Thus, the gods of the Hildhem and the Ardas and Rodcorte were relieved to conclude that being from a different world did not necessarily mean they could become mentors.
If inhabitants of this world were inspired by the number of reincarnations, and the people of this world were inspired, it would mean the division of people, and in the worst case, the war between human beings would intensify and it would not be a demon king.
That said, less than a year after relief, Kanako became a mentor. It was a terrible surprise to Hirshem ... and to all the gods of the Ardas. Equivalent to a stab in the spleen belly from behind.
This is because the believers of the gods of the Ardas will be replaced by the believers of Vida, rather than simply increasing the power of Kanako himself and those around her.
In addition, one of the hero candidates who was supposed to grow as a fighting force against Vandalu is actually ... a second person is about to get involved.
"What to do ... I must report immediately that Kanako Tsuchiya has become a mentor. That is natural. But what about Edilia?
Hirschem thinks while strumming a lyre and playing a dissonant chord. Should we abandon Edilia or not? Not only for her but also about the pride of her own God and how she should be.
If you think rationally, you should let go of Edilia right now. Given Kanako's guidance, you should judge that it cannot be used as a handpiece, and you should lose it. You have to raise your blessing and hurry up new hero candidates.
Rodcorte would say that you should.
However, is it correct as the way God should be to believers ... the "string god", Hilshem?
I reconsidered many times, but I don't think so.
Edilia was certainly attracted to the music Kanako teaches. It is not a sin. At least, Hirschem does not preach such a teaching. He taught his followers to connect like strings. To be able to play with sound and thereby to create rhythm and order. And enrich your sensitivity.
As such, it is correct as a believer that Edilia was drawn to Kanako music. As a result, she was led to Kanako, but she was just attracted to the music and the stage where she performed it.
This is not to say that I could not resist evil temptations.
"... the sound is decided"
He reports to Arda that Kanako has become a mentor. By now Rodcorte may have already provided a report.
However, the blessings he has given to Edilia remain. Once you are led, there is no possibility that you will leave your guru. This has happened because guidance is an idea.
Above all, there is no reason to punish her for nothing wrong as her follower.
"I'll do what Rubicante does next ... let's be warned!"
While playing the lyre, Hirschem began preparing for her messenger to Arda.
What is muscle? It is power. And power is power.
So what is power? Power to exercise? energy? Calorie?
After thinking, he concluded, "All of them."
"[Muscle surgery] is deep."
"Hello, Vandalu. It's tea time now, so you have to relax. Don't let the Familiar King, who's within view, rest. Legion, please."
"""""Yes"""""
Vandalu is a muscular-bone-type witch who was created for learning muscles and [muscle surgery] ... Returning the thinking that was aimed at the witch-users reminiscent of a human model with only bones and muscles to a meal that spreads out in front of the eyes Was.
Legions who practiced by breaking up into several chunks also returned to one chunk.
In front of them, during the tea time spent in the dungeon, there are a lot of things that are unlikely to line up. Tea cups for the number of people in a pot containing three types of tea and coffee. Pile of fluffy pancakes, jam and butter for topping, syrup and cheese to fruit.
But it doesn't reach it.
"Bochan, milk for tea? Or lemon? Or do you want coffee?
"The pancakes were butter and syrup."
Instead, maid sisters of Living High Leg Armor and Living Bikini Armor, Saria and Rita, serve.
"Wow, it's hard to cool down."
"Yes, Bochan, please Earn"
And they feed them as they are.
"Van elder brother, like a baby to eat"
"Aunt of a tree, I hate this coffee. Is it sweet?"
"Yes, drink."
"Van ... I think your family service is strange"
The orphanage's children are eating pancakes, but they are looking at the vandalous they are eating and looking for sweet drinks for crampons.
The cramped skoog claw crampons grabbed the apple-like fruits that grew from their backs, squashed them, poured the homemade juice into an empty pod, and acted.
In this way, the family service that Vandaloo receives is that it is "served by maids as much as families." He's not sitting on Darussia's lap, of course.
"Van, don't feel a little heavier. Did it get bigger?"
"Maybe your muscle mass has increased?"
"Do you put honey in the tea?"
"Drink apple juice!"
Sitting next to each other, over Ghoul's Basdia and Taleah. Surrounded by Eisen making juice substitutes, and Quinn, the queen of Gehennaby, who delivers honey through his mouth.
Zardiris, about two to three years older than Darussia and the mash, was sitting in front of Vandaloo with the children of the orphanage.
"Mash or sit on my knees?"
"You're older, Zadiris. I'm no longer a child."
"That's so old! I'm an adult who lives nearly thirty times more than you!"
"Absolutely lie! Adults don't pose that embarrassing!"
Mash of an eleven-year-old child who returns to Zadiris, 300 years old. By the way, the embarrassing pose he calls is a pose in which his mouth is hidden with his goofy hands and his eyes are stared at.
"Oh, that's part of the dance, so it can't be helped! I also did Kanako and Darussia!"
"Dulcia is Van's mother, and Basdia, who sang the same song, didn't do it."
"Pop ... Kukku!"
"Mash, that's just what I didn't like, so I just got another choreography."
Zashiris desperately asserts the truth to Mash, who does not subtly believe that Zaziris is older. Basdia puts her mother's follow up in Talea who blows out unintentionally.
"Is that so, va ... n ... you're a bit scared when you do it."
Hearing Basdia's words, Mash tried to check with Vandaloo and saw his best friend hiding his mouth with both fists. When he does, he hides his mouth and the presence of his eyes increases.
When I looked around ... Zod, who was standing on the hot cake with the pump up, took the same pose with a larger fist than Mash's head.
Rita, who was serving, also took the same pose .... I feel terrifying ominity due to the skin color like death.
Gufadogan can only sense emptyness when looking at it, and legions are meat lumps no matter what they do. And the mash is-.
"Wow ah! Don't take such a pose as me! Don't laugh at you too!"
"Peguru"
Shaking his arms to drive away the masquerade that was mimicking himself, complaining to the children's innocent laughter, Mash turned a gentle glance at Zadiris.
"... I was wrong, Zadiris, do your best!"
"I don't know why that happened, but well, I know."
It seemed unconvinced, but Zadiris nodded and settled with Mash.
"Mash, we have been enjoying maid-like things after a long absence."
"Recent babies tend to be away, soak in new women ..."
"Yes, when you come to see me, it's only for work ..."
"Don't say anything misleading in front of your children, but you're in and out of a country with a new woman you've met."
Certainly I met Dolaneza, Dedilia and Zalzarit with Feltonia, and have recently entered and left Gartland. But he wasn't doing what he wanted.
"And Talea, I've been having a massage and eating rice after having a meeting with a makeover."
"Vandaloo, Treasure wants more, and Saria and Rita haven't ventured together recently? Zadiris and Basdia. Take this together the next time you go to Garutland Please go. "
"I see ... Okay, so the next time we go to scratch the subgods, let's go with the five of us."
""Yay! ]
"Speaking of that, recently I only stood on the battlefield called Stage. My body is dull, but my intuition may rust."
"Mai leads to war, but it's not my intention to keep away from the actual battle."
"Hey ... please wait a minute !? I'm a non-combatant, right?"
Saria and Rita cheer, Zadiris and Basdia appearing excited. But Taleah pulls Vandalu with a blue face.
"It's okay, Treasure. It's a bit of a combat training."
However, Tarea's participation seems to be a decision already.
Darussia looks at it with a smile.
"Van elder brother, no mummy cow"
"Masha, Vandaloo is okay.
"Yes. I'm just drinking blood, shooting cannons, and keeping new demons."
"If it was normal, it would be better to stop it, but ... because you are not normal"
Vestula, one of the orphanage's sisters, convulsed her cheeks, as she swallowed her.
"I think Vestra Unnie needs to have surgery with Uncle Celis before stopping Van."
"Well, mash! Wouldn't he have to hurry the surgery, right?
"Yes, mash! And we're fine with the sun, so there's no reason to hurry!"
Celis, a sister in sync with Bestra, tries to keep her from having surgery in a hurry. At first glance they were races, but they were actually subordinate vampires.
Played by the original vampire Vircain, he was able to learn [sunlight tolerance] skills, was brainwashed, and assumed that he was also a race.
The brainwash was solved by Vandaloo, and the two regained memory and realized that they were vampires. However, since she has the [sunlight tolerance] skill, she spends her life without any difficulty.
Of course, there is a blood-sucking urge, but it is not a problem because the Vandaloos have blood. Such surgery was a brutal plastic surgery to erase burns and scars that remained on her entire body.
"I'm not afraid of surgery. I just drink a blood potion made from my blood and scrape off the scarred skin."
"It looks so painful!"
"No matter how many times I hear it, it seems like a form of torture."
Serris and Vestra shook their heads in response to the explanation of the operation. In fact, there is a way of torture a captive prisoner of war by applying healing magic and healing the wounds.
"As an experienced person, that surgery is not torture."
However, Belmond, who had undergone a similar operation before Celis and others, opened his mouth.
At the time of the dance choreography, she was trying to hide her presence with all her might, but at this time she spoke eloquently about her experience.
"The pain is true, but it's trivial. The blood potions that are consumed more than once can activate the body, increase regenerative power, and quickly create new skin.
The feeling was ... a little itchy. "
As he said, Belmond dyed his cheeks, moisturized his eyes, and breathed a sigh.
... Apparently, the face was not reminiscent of "itching".
"I hope Belmond-san ... I didn't have Eleonora-san here."
As Darussia says, if Eleonora was taking part in this tea time, it would have been a fairly bad experience in educating children.
"Hey, my sister, I'm okay, but my tail sister is saying too."
Mash, who was obsessed with pancakes and hadn't seen Belmond's face, says, but Celis and Vestra complained, "Absolutely not!"
However, reading silent eye contact was one of the things Vandaloo was not good at.
"What if there's a surgical technique recently devised by Isis?"
Vandalou speaks to Isis, one of Legion's personalities, without noticing their eyes.
"Yes, I devised only the method, and all the specific steps can only be done by Vandaloo."
Stopping to take in the pancakes, Isis began the demonstration using the upper body of Barbayagar, which grew close to him.
"Hey, Isis! What are you doing! ?
"First, make an incision behind your neck. Suture the [Demon King's Nerve] and [Vessel] of Vandalu with the patient's. This takes over the body below the neck while maintaining the patient's life. This frees the patient from pain or pleasure ... itching. "
While saying so, open the back of Barbayagar's neck and pierce the cross section with a fleshy tube that was created appropriately as a nerve or blood vessel.
Neither Isis nor Barbayagar is transformed and remains a mannequin made of meat, so there is no tragic but strange grotesque. … Not only Seris, but even the children of the orphanage are accustomed to Legion, so no one is afraid.
"During the operation, Vandalu will feel the pain that the patient would have felt, but he is OK. When the surgery is over, reconnect the nerves and you'll be back. I didn't even test the aftereffects. …… After the surgery, the subjects used in the experiments were all mutated, but in your case that would be fine. ”
If you try it in a rat, post-operative giant rat. If you try it with monkeys, it will be a rank 2 scarlet after surgery. After trying it out with bandits, I became an enthusiastic Bandarou fanatic. Therefore, it is a surgical procedure that can never be performed when concealing activities in human society.
However, Isis said that it would be alright if Ceris and Vestra were given. …… Seris and Vestra, who do not have modern medical knowledge, are pale when I heard that she had an incision in her neck.
"Well, we don't have to decide today. We have time ... so let's both start with the same training as the mashes tomorrow."
Serris and Vestra understood the words. This is repeated until they nod.
The politics of the Duke of Al Krems began to move heavily after the band returned from the forest and joined the highway socially back to the town of Moxy.
The Duke of Takkar Alkrem has begun to treat ghouls as human beings, not demons, and to establish legislation to abolish Vida's new tribal autonomous system within the Duke territory.
If this were to happen, the ghoul would be the same as the adventurer from the hunted monster, and if imitated like defeating or looting loot, the adventurer would be punished as a bandit. …… Conversely, if Ghoul kills an adventurer or takes a woman for anything other than legitimate defense, Ghoul will be punished as a human.
However, most of the ghouls in the Dukes of Al Krem have already been emigrated to the Vidal Empire, and this legislation allows Katia to freely walk as a person rather than as a follower in Zadiris, Basdia, and Taleah and register with various guilds. Is the main purpose.
More politically bigger is the abolition of the new tribal autonomous region system in Vida. Listening to the abolition alone may seem like taking up and driving away the autonomy that you have acknowledged.
However, in fact, a new race of Vida, which has a rank, was pushed into a plot called "autonomous region", and the system that did not allow freedom of traffic, commerce, immigration, and prohibited registration in each guild was changed, It was a law for eliminating discrimination that gave the same rights.
And the impact of the abolition of the autonomous region system is not limited to the new tribe of Vida, whose autonomous region is within the Duke of Al Krem. A new race in Vida, with territories in other Duke territories, can also be freed by fleeing to the Duke of Al Krem.
Originally, the twelve dukes of the Orbaum election should immediately detain and hand over to the dukes they arrange if they find themselves guilty in another territory. It has become.
However, the law states that "only those who commit a felony that would result in death or criminal slavery". It is not a felony just to escape from the autonomous region.
Still, the other dukes will ask for Duck Takkalk Al Krem's delivery ... but he, who has formed an informal alliance with Vandaloo, will not be able to respond.
The treatment of the new race of Vida, which ranks in the status including the ghouls in the Tamer Guild, is subtle ... Whether it's a genuine master-slave relationship, or if it's just a fake and actually an equal friend or lover? Only people could understand. It seemed that there was no need for reforms to take precedence over legislation, and there was no action from the Dukes of Al Krem.
Changing the rules in the Tamer Guild to `` don't follow the new race of Vida '' is about the same as changing the rules in the Adventurer Guild to allow adventurer registration for Ghoul, Scylla, and Arachne Would.
The Arda Temple, which sensed the movement of the Duke, protested immediately and said, "This is a political, secular problem. The clergy are useless."
And yet the general public is unaware of the law change, which would be a violence for the followers of Arda and a major reform for the new race of Vida.
However, the aristocrats who served the Duke of Al Krems split into favors and opponents, spreading to other aristocrats who were related to that aristocracy, and to the nobles of the royal territory, The kingdom's politics is swallowed by a big swirl.
