The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

Episode XII Hunting and Examination

The dry sound of cutlets, cutlets, reaches your ears. Feeling comfortable with the sound, he leaves his weight behind the back of the chair and proceeds to read the letter in his hand.

The sender is Utano, whose content is a reward in the Griffin crusade. And write to me about what's going on.

You know I'm not the kind of person who writes letters, but he's still worried. I laugh bitterly at the boulder, how can it not be written that far?

Well, what shall I write in the letter? Coming to the commercial city (Merdiole) and remembering what happened until today, fold the note beautifully. Even so, it's better to hold things.

As he stretched, the back of the chair he was sitting on rang.

"What did it say?

Ami, who was pointing to Solnea and Chez in the men's room, asks. Solnea, sitting face-to-face, was also turning her gaze to react to Ami's voice.

Faerona and Mululu took Miss Francesca to work in the neighborhood. We point to chess and relax. What a peaceful day. That, too, is apparently up to today.

Utano's demon (Familia), resting his feathers on the edge of the bed - exhales small with a blurry view of the blue bird.

By the way, Utano adores this little blue bird very much. What we find is something very difficult. This world is a weak predator. It is only the right prey for demons, such as birds with no power whatsoever. In our world, birds flying normally don't even have to be endangered species in this world, but I think the total number is pretty small.

She was so obsessed with blue birds when making demons that she could bring happiness or something. I heard somewhere that she cares about that. As I stroked the little bird with my fingers, Chichi, sounded adorable.

"Did you get the battle?

"No, not yet."

"Right. Then I'll talk to you when I'm done."

It was Solnea who responded. When I heard my reply, my gaze quickly turned to the surface. Ami, who opposes him, seems concerned about the contents of the letter, and after watching this one for a while, turns back to the plate.

Same brunette, what can be described as a beauty, tall height. Given some of the things they have in common, they don't even look like sisters. Though my sister is Solnea. In a physical sense.

Also, cutlets, cutlets and dry noises sound in the room.

You can hear the hustle and bustle of the city through the open window, and the cold wind pours in and shakes your clothes. Bald Mountain, visible in the distance, is now Griffin's nest, so the occasional black dot in sight will probably be Griffin. Still keen on finding prey today.

With that in mind, I rebut the contents of the letter.

A letter written in Japanese in discipline. It's easy for us to read, but it's impossible for the inhabitants of this world to read or understand what it means. Japanese, which was inconvenient at the beginning of the summons, is now the only cipher we can use.

When you take the Elmen Hilde out of your pocket, you play it with a pin, and a finger. Hold the medal circling in circles as you play the sunlight and open your hand.

My eyes are behind me.

"Ha."

"What's up?

"Ainya. I only have a bad feeling you're behind it."

"It must be the usual."

I don't know how that sounds like fun there, you.

Griffin's crusade. There is nothing wrong with that in itself. Griffin, on the other hand, has more experience dealing with troublesome warcraft and dragons than that. I feel like it's about Griffin now.

I know how to take them down. If you're flying through the sky, you can drop the thunder, and if that's difficult, you can fish with bait and bring it down to the ground, and then you can slash those wings. No matter how much wind spirits (silves) are protected, they cannot fly without wings. In that case, it's just a beast with a big figure and magic.

... I'm just saying that magic can be used, but it's completely separate from the beast.

"Something disturbing?

"Hmm?"

Did they notice you were thinking about it, or Ami was looking at this one off the board. Apparently, now it's Solnea's turn to move the pawn.

"What?

"Mr. Lianshi. I always play El when I'm worried about something."

"... do you?

Put the medal in your pocket as you squirt. Habits, is it? Though I didn't realize it myself. But sure. Something tells me I was playing medals and weighing good and bad.

"Well. We're going to be busy, Elmenhilde"

'Right. I'm looking forward to it. "

"Give me a break. I don't have a hobby for putting my life on the scale."

Whimpering his usual words, he strokes the little bird.

What do we do now? Griffin crusade reward, I don't know what that market is. But the Kingdom - the amount offered by Mr. Utano is considerable. With all this forehead, the adventurers who will fight with us will soon gather. Should we get ready for a crusade as Douglas will handle the area?

There have been tests (tests) of Miss Francesca, and there is a formidable enemy named Arc Griffin. No matter how much you prepare around, you won't overdo it.

It's Miss Francesca's exam, but she doesn't feel like she's thinking too hard. As for this one, I don't want to get stuck... I wish I could see that I can protect myself. After all, she's only been an adventurer for about six months. That alone doesn't make me think I can move like Faerona or Mululu. Of course, you can use magic equivalent to Ami's.

Will you listen to what I'm saying, can your opponent move without thinking, and be a good driver? Knowledge and experience follow later. Just because I worked hard for a week or two doesn't mean I'm going to stretch that much either. It is difficult to defeat Griffin with her magic, and then it is not the offensive magic of behavior that makes it necessary, but the restraint system that seals the opponent. Now, do you realize that?

Even so, I guess people are bad around leaving it to me without advice. Thanks to you, I feel like I've been having less conversations with Mululu lately. In the dark, I understand you're asking me to give you advice.

Well, it's not a bad thing to try. Fayrona's here, and she won't be impotent.

"That's always it."

"I don't want to die yet."

Answer Hermenhilde's voice lightly. That's true, and I'm sure you'll keep saying it without false (whenever). I don't want to die. Because that's where I started.

Ami laughed couscous as she moved the pawn when she heard such heartfelt words. It's impressive to see Ami like that with Solnea's face as if she were surprised.

"No more. Not even on edge, is it?

"Mm-hmm. Sorry."

Apologize to Ami, check, voice. Apparently, the battle on the board is on its way to the end. Or did Ami take it seriously, hitting it to match Solnea until now?

Faerona, Mululu and Solnea have also become accustomed to life in the city, and the surroundings of Miss Francesca have settled in various ways, and the effects of Griffin have reduced the damage from the demons. Perhaps our lives are filled with the most tranquillity we've ever traveled together, even though the threat is right beside us.

That's how I spent two weeks. But apparently that peace, too, is about to end.

"I wish you'd been a little more relaxed."

'Hmm. Do you understand the purpose of this journey?

"I understand."

"What do you say?"

I guess it's going to be tough because I've been working very little for the last few days. I mean, it's because it's my occasional holiday that I was too dazed. Turn your gaze out the window as you respond by flaunting your partner's voice like that.

It's abominably clear, but I also feel the wind is slightly damp. Maybe it rains day or night.

"I'm here."

"Yes, Mr. Solnea, you've grown a lot stronger."

"Haven't you ever beaten Aya?

"I won't let you win that easily. Victory has to be won through your own efforts."

"I see."

Two people start cleaning up chess pawns while I say so. I love the blue bird of happiness.

When you put your finger in front of you, the way you ride that finger is adorable. Is Mr. Utano in control, or is he conscious as a bird? I don't know much about the demon, but when I try this, it's just a little bird that's familiar to me.

Touch the demon with your fingers.

"Speaking of which, does Ami not have a user demon?

"Yeah. It's one life, even though it's a demon to use. I'm not good at caring for animals."

"Really?

"I think little birds and kittens are cute, but I figured a little..."

"What about the dog?

"Once upon a time I was barked."

I see. Is that why you don't like animals? I guess that means the dogs don't like animals in general.

The matter seems embarrassing, and there appears to be a slight feeling of shame on its side.

"Besides, it's the biggest problem. Resistance to manipulating something of your own will, not just people..."

"Right."

"Right. That's better, yeah."

When they say that, I can't give anything back.

I'm sure that if Ami's magic can't be manipulated, etc. … Is that what you can manipulate, other than God or the family of God? Well, I'm not sure because I don't know the contract technique in detail.

But I'm sure Ami's reaction hasn't taken my mind off that. And I think it would be a great pleasure for Ami to think so.

"Well. So, what did Mr. Utano say?

Ami asks me after I've cleaned up the chess tools. The look is not the face of a girl who enjoyed a relaxing time earlier.

The atmosphere changes slightly.

Just get rid of Griffin.

"Really?"

Me and Ami reacted similarly, not much surprise. Commercial cities, as their name suggests, are more important to trading than commercial…. The only place where there is a route with the continent of Elflame, where exports from this continent of Imnesia and imports from the continent of Elflame come together.

And most importantly, it's a city where humans, subhumans and beasts gather. If something like that happens in a place like that, it can be an unnecessary problem between the two continents. So let's just get rid of it.

What an easy thing to say, I think.

"Hehe."

"Hmm?"

"No -"

"Why does the range laugh?

For a moment, I didn't know what Solnea was talking about. I argue that it was Ami who was laughing, and I understand that I was laughing too in the atmosphere of the place.

To that Solnea pointing out, stroke his jaw with the opposite hand from the one carrying the little bird.

"Were you laughing?

"Yes."

'Oh. Apparently, you're very motivated'

"... I'm not."

It's just easier to get instructions like this than to be motivated. No matter how irrational and dangerous that is, it is easy to see that what we do is clear.

I don't think so, though, as to whether that's directly connected to Yall Chi. Now, I still don't like the fight, and I don't want to move on from myself. I don't like getting hurt, and I don't want to hurt you. I want to avoid danger.

But I'll do it if you tell me to. Will this also be the lower guts of the roots?

"Well, then, I'll get Miss Fayrona and the others."

"Oh, please. I'm with the Alliance."

"Okay."

That's what I'm saying. Ami, I'm leaving the room. I think it's the boulders that move fast around here. You don't have to say what you have to do to understand, or something.

Griffin's crusade. Since it is not possible to say right now on the boulder, tell everyone the contents of the letter sent by Utano, get ready for it, as early as tomorrow or the day after?

The Faeronas should be working at the request of the Alliance, so there's still time for them to come back. In the meantime, let me help you prepare for a crusade around Douglam.

"Range"

"What's up, Solnea"

When I'm thinking about it, Solnea, who was left in the room, calls out.

Maybe Ami doubted me for leaving but not moving.

"I'll be out soon, too, but what about you?

"I'll be there"

"Okay."

"... you have to answer immediately."

Elmen Hilde makes a questionable voice that explores my insides somewhere.

Do you think I'm even thinking about something evil?

"If that's what Solnea wants, I'll do whatever I can to make it happen."

"Hmm."

"What are you obstinate about, you?

'I'm not obstinate. I just doubt the range is that honest.'

"What a partner, not at all"

Travel support...... stand up to prepare for battle. Even so, weave a jacket (cape), hide a dagger for throwing under it, and place the knife of the dragonbone on the belt. Just hang the Spirit Silver (Mithril) sword on your hips at the end.

"Well, what do you do?"

Then he turns his gaze to the little bird who is now resting his feathers on the bed. Then you get my word, you fly lightly and stop on my shoulder.

Drama or something, I do think there were a lot of occasions like this, but in reality, birds are pretty alarming. Is stopping on a person's shoulder this way proof that he is quite used to humans?

Until then, Utano-san's demon. Still, it makes me happy.

"All right, you want to come with me"

"... because I don't know if I fly away surprised by people's hustle and bustle."

"At that time, you're just going back to Utano."

"Is that true, too"

Later, grab a cloth bag instead of a wallet and clean up the room a little.

"Speaking of which,"

With moderation, I turn my gaze to Solnea, who is just blurry looking at this one.

"How's the chess? Have fun?"

"I don't know."

That's a lot of ambiguity.

"Really?"

Sitting in a chair and holding it with its thin arms is a leather bag packed with chess tools. Ever since I bought him tools, I think Solnea has treated me like a treasure with a set of tools......

At least I don't know what else she looks like with something so important.

Ami praised you, too.

"Ha."

A vague voice leaks out of its glossy lips, as if you don't understand what I'm saying.

This is how I've changed a little since I lived in Meldiore, which I don't think has actually changed that much. As always, the expression is hard to read, the words you say are short, and you don't say you want something. So much so that I began to hear interesting things. They don't really hear that in front of the Faeronas either.

Even today, the reality is that Ami invited Solnea, who didn't say she wanted to point to chess, but who looked like she said something about being out of hand. I'm slightly anxious to know if it's okay at this rate, but I can't think of a particularly good proposal.

How would El have been?

I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Think... I'm depressed that I can't remember the details of my memory. Memory is the past. Who was it that people said they would put the past aside and move on to the future? Did you see it online, read it in a book, say it to a friend or family member? Sometimes all those words come to mind when I try to remember Elle.

That's terribly sad, but not as depressing as I thought. It's sad again. Is this how people reconcile themselves with the past? Though I feel like other personnel while doing my job.

"Really?

"Hmm?"

"Am I praised?

"Oh. They complimented me."

That's how I thought about it again, and it pulled me back into reality with that Solnea voice.

And I laugh bitterly at that thing.

The way people lean (hide) their necks unaware of their favors is sometimes well-groomed, and there is a cuteness that makes them feel like gaps. Interested in a variety of things from now on, having conversations and understanding emotions. How will Solnea change when that happens?

Or does it not change?

"You'd better say what you want to do."

"Really?

"Oh. That would be better for me."

"Okay."

When I inspect my gear and leave the room, Solnea comes behind me. The bag with the chess tools is still held in my chest, and I laugh a little about it.

"Leave it. Drop it and destroy it, you don't know."

"Yes."

Yes, I replied honestly and went straight into the women's room.

"You're like an honest kid."

"You want a kid that big?

"No way."

Even if an adventurer makes a child, I'm sure the child will just be unhappy. If you're going to make it, it will be after you stop the adventurer.

Keep your back on the inn wall and put your arms together.

"Even now, I'm full of child protection. We have more children."

"When Ami asks, the thunder will fall"

"Nothing. I don't know who the kid is."

"Mm."

Normally, I wonder if the first thing that comes to mind is Murr. Well, I guess Ami is still a child in Ermenhilde.

"Thank you for waiting"

"No. Then go."

I'm going to the first floor of the lodging room with Solnea coming out of the room - and uncomfortable with my coat (cape). Looking back, Solnea, still with a scarce emotional expression, grabbed the end of my coat.

Here, it would be cute if you held it in such a way as to pick it with your fingers, but it seems that the place where you are really gripping it is Solnea.

"What's up?

"Range, would you like to point to chess later?

"What?"

I suddenly ate face to face with my remarks and couldn't return a decent reply.

"... how does that happen?

"Earlier, you said what I wanted to do."

"I see."

I see. I see.

From the top of his pants, gently tap his partner who says something that doesn't make sense.

Even if you're referring to me and Chez now, hey. My technique doesn't even extend to Fayrona. When asked if he could beat Solnea, I don't know. I don't know, but I honestly don't have it myself.

"Ami and Faerona would be stronger than me, wouldn't they?

"It doesn't matter if I'm strong or weak when I'm referring to chess."

"Really?

"Yes."

I don't know. Then why are you referring to chess... well, maybe it's because it's fun.

I guess it doesn't matter how strong or weak they are.

"Well, if it's okay with me,"

"Really?"

'Isn't it hard to win in the range anymore?

"Maybe. If that's all right with you, we'll point to chess together next time."

"Regards"

But well. I'm busy for a while, so it'll be a little while before I point to chess.

"I'm busy, I'll be quite a bit later, okay?

"I don't mind."

"Right. Let's go to the guild."

That's what I say and walk out. I will not be pulled off my coat this time.

When you leave the inn and arrive in front of the guild, push open both open swing doors. Then the hustle and bustle of the adventurers slapped their ears. Though Griffin's threat is beside him, it doesn't mean the adventurer's job is gone.

Sure, the damage to goblins, harpies, and demons is diminishing, but adventurers work not only to crusade demons, but also to escort merchants, herbs, and gather materials for sorcery and alchemy. It gets less fruitful, but I guess I'm working hard on that kind of detailed job.

Several adventurers turn their gaze to me as I enter the Alliance building. Some of them, the face I found out, would greet me with a voice or one hand up. I say hello back to the people who say that, but there are also a few gazes that are being directed behind me, not me. That's the gaze that's being directed at Solnea, not me. I guess I see a more beautiful woman and make her eyes look better than a man like this everywhere.

"Hey, Douglas"

"Finally here, Range. I thought you'd be here first thing in the morning."

"Am I?"

"Hmm. Is something wrong?

That's what they say all of a sudden when they find Douglas at the guild reception and call him out.

Leaning his neck without understanding the translation, Douglam leaned his neck in the same way.

"What. Griffin, aren't you here to get your crusade job?

"That's right, but why first thing in the morning?

"Well, you. Last night, I got a message from the King's Landing."

"... Really?

"You didn't know?

"Oh, someone I know from Wang Du... I just got a letter from Utano."

Apparently, a letter from Wang Du had arrived in the guild on a different route from Mr. Utano. Then I wish you would have talked to me last night.

But this is the biggest guild I've ever seen, I don't think I've got enough men. Besides, even if you let it go, maybe it's big that you knew I was coming.

"What. This is a letter from an obnoxious man, but you're a woman. You're as envious as ever."

"Give me a break. This way, he told me to write to him about the situation. This is my letter. There are so many things that don't suit you."

"Oh, sure. You sure don't look good writing to your desk."

"If that's what you mean, you don't look good in clerical work either."

"Ugh. Who the hell thinks you're doing your job for your people?"

That's how I talk to Douglam, and the little bird that was stopping on my shoulder gently bursts into my cheek. When you stop talking in surprise, you get grown up.

You want me to move on?

"Hmm, what's that bird?

"It's Mr. Utano's demon. He just delivered a letter to me."

"Well, I think it would look better to hold onto a warcraft or something like that because of your sister."

"But I like cute things."

That much said, he was poked in the cheek again by a little bird. Now you're serious for it, it hurts pretty bad and makes me raise my voice.

"Ka. The devil and his master are all the same, and what the bird sees and hears is lost to his master, Range."

"So you won't even have to be angry with the user demon"

I know and say it. Me too, but what a loyal user demon you are to Utano.

That's what I think, he poked me again. Maybe the fact that I rush ahead like this also resembles my husband a lot.

"Around me, I'm in trouble for rushing too far ahead"

"I don't know if you're too relaxed."

"Uhm. Absolutely right, Range"

"What are we going to do in such a hurry? Just look forward and you'll miss the beautiful scenery around you."

I think the range is often stopped by the scenery.

And they laugh again.

That's good. Beautiful views, beautiful air, pastoral atmosphere. Because I like all of it.

Look at me holding my head, Elmenhilde and Douglam laugh out loud. Chickshaw.

"So. You get a request to crusade Griffin?

"... oh. I'm moving tomorrow at noon, so don't let too many people out of Merdiole that time of day."

"You're going to fight so hard."

"Ami."

When it comes to making him fight for himself, it's not a good idea to have people around him. To be honest, I'm just a mess, too.

Douglam sighs tirelessly as he clasps his shoulders. The ancient stock of the guild, or the adventurer who was in the guild of Merdiole two years ago, well understands how many magicians Ami and Kotaro are. Anyway, it was those two who blew up the corner of Bald Mountain that Griffin now makes his residence.

Still, not as many craters were made in the Arbenelm continent.

"Well, I'll do something about it. That's gonna take a while?

"I don't know. I went outside to observe Griffin a few times, but I haven't seen Arc Griffin yet."

Just Griffin would be easy to finish, but I can't say anything because I haven't been able to confirm how old Arc Griffin is. There is no such thing as a demon god (Naifer) in a boulder.

Even to hear more about that arc griffin, the adventurer who had survived and returned to Merdiole had also died the other day. Griffin attacked me with a wound.

Because I'm an adventurer, people's deaths are still too sad. Try not to put that too much on the table and exhale one thing.

"I didn't even know the difference between Griffin..."

You're still telling me, you are.

"It may be a little cumbersome, but don't ask me"

"Not at all. Do you know how many people come and go down the street every day?

"..."

"How much is it?

"I don't know. I don't know if we need to find out more, but it's a pretty good number."

"Hey."

Don't tell me you don't know. He responds with his usual hot, bitter smile when he turns his gaze on his companion, who is no different than he used to be.

"Mmm."

And the voice of rejection, which should also be called scheduled harmony, was heard from Ermenhilde.

Well, after that, you'll join Amida for tomorrow's meeting? Tomorrow's going to be tough. Squeeze like any other HR.

To me like that, the blue bird on my shoulder chirped to comfort me.
