The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

"Do you know the mountains that connect you to your neighbors? Our village lies at the foot of the mine."

Leaving town, we leave Fantim to guide us and walk away.

"... you mean tourist destinations benefiting Undine?"

I thought it was about the village.

But Fantim shook his head.

"No... we're so far from it. There's a cave nearby, but nothing else. It's a small village that doesn't even appear on the map. It's called Kered Village... Have you heard of it?"

"No, hey. What about you guys!?"

Sinanis turned his face to his people.

But Timeo and the others shook their heads.

It's everyone who was on that spot here.

Even if we can go in half a day than bringing in his friend, Charlier, that doesn't necessarily mean it will until we get home.

Sometimes it will take a day, or more.

Charlier is ill, so he basically walks on his back. I wish I could have come with a horse, but unfortunately I'm not home.

When this happens, don't want an animal you can ride, or a demon.

Otherwise, I can't help it.

Anyway, I'm going to stay overnight in the village or go wild, but Fantim said it's not realistic to stay overnight in the village.

I worried about my family, but I hear Charlier's parents stopped being sick early.

... Now I also asked Fantim, who also said he had no parents apart.

However, his expression was a little tense when he spoke that way.

Because I don't have any parents, rather... it seemed like there was something else going on.

There are eight of them right now.

Cinnanis' party and Timeo's party. The Sinanis said they were leaving a message, but because Luna and the others couldn't adjust, the Sinanis and the others have come.

And it's me, Fantim.

Exactly, with all this number of people, demons aren't so easy to get close to.

They're not stupid enough to try a reckless battle on purpose.

We didn't have any particular problems, we came to the foot of the mountain.

In front of me, there were forests and slopes.

From there, if you break to the left, there is a town with the protection of Undine.

Fantim turned right from there.

I didn't know you were here.

"Really? Our village is just ahead of us in this cave. Follow me!"

"Right."

... you have a village in a place like that.

There was a cave entrance that wasn't very big.

There are trees in the vicinity, and if you don't look closely, you won't know.

... Was it used as a mine or something?

It seemed to be such a trail that what seemed like an old pickel was rolling.

"I want some light."

When you go inside, it's dim. The entrance where the lights outside arrive is still good, but as we move on, we won't see it first.

And Larfan was coming near me without a heart.

Her eyes are shaking anxiously.... Can't you also be dark?

Drinkin 'is a little trembling, too, and he's getting closer to me.

Is that about how bad the darkness is?

Lillifer seems to be a hunk of curiosity, and she says, "Ooh!" and puts her hand on the cave wall.

"It's a demon ore. This!"

Demon ore was visible on the wall.

... Heh, was it used as a mining ground for demon ore after all? The quality, it doesn't seem very good, but it won't hurt to remember.

"It's nothing demonic, and I remember the way, so it's okay."

"Then I'll do it. Fire magic ensures the light."

"Oh, I can do it too, Master Rude!"

That's what Timeo and Arica call it.

"Then ask for the lights in turn"

"Got it. Bye, Mr. Arica. Let me go first."

He creates some small spheres of fire in one hand.

Turn it around. He was floating around us like a human soul.

Wow. The fact that he also let some go at the end of the road made the road fully understandable.

"Is this okay?"

"That's great, Timeo."

"Yeah, I'll take care of it"

Happily he hung up. I was watching that, Alika gazing at me.

Both Larfan and Drinkin got back on track as usual after they started illuminating the road with light.

"Then follow me. I'll go to the village at once!"

Copy that.

Fantim takes the lead.

... You really don't have any demons.

I don't know how it works, but is it because Undine lives nearby?

Or is there something here that doesn't naturally send demons?

With that in mind, take the road to the left to the right.

... don't get lost without someone who can guide you through this.

Not many people would visit a place like this.

And I saw light at the end of the cave.

The sunset is plugged in. Is it that time already?

As the exit approached, I saw the demon stone lights. These would have been embedded by people.

"That's our village."

Fantim pointed at you with a rugged face.

Even in the distance, I could see some stone houses.

I went to the village. A villager who was nearby looked at this one as surprised, then ran to the back.

The cave sky was swept like a blowout. From there, there was a sunset in there.

There was a demonic stone rolling at my feet and I didn't feel it was dark because it was naturally emitting light.

Grass trees are also growing, leaving traces of people watering.

A little further into the space, there was a field.... are there any plants that can be grown here?

I don't need light, I feel like some grew up with only magic and water.

White flowers are everywhere, shaking in the wind that sometimes comes out of the sky.

The building is basically stone built.

Not many people are out there.

People come from the back. Their eyes were rugged and they were looking at this one.

"What are you doing back here? I told you you banished me from the village."

That sounds like a word for Fantim.

Obviously, there was an evil vibe.

The men look at everyone, including me, and laugh like they made a fool of themselves.

"The kids. If you're gonna take a walk, you're gonna have to pick a few more places."

"... he said he'd leave in silence if he kept the charlier. Let him through!"

Trying to rough up my voice, Fantim screamed.

The men looked at each other and then smiled softly.

"Charlier...... oh, that woman with the thin, dirty blood"

Dirty?

Larfan was the first to react to that word.

... back in the day, children born between other races - so called, they were abhorred by both races for being thin and dirty back in the day.

But now it is often accepted that those who have taken in the blood of various races are often stronger than normal.

Even if it has a appearance somewhat close to demons, "because it's subhuman," it often works with.

Even Minnow doesn't look like that.

It seems that the old customs remain in this village.

It's like a village cut off from the rest of the world.

They frown in disgust.

and a child similar to Fantim walked from the other side.

"Come and think it's noisy, what a big brother you are"

I called Fantim with my brother. He must be my brother.

Sure, they look alike even if they're faces.

The age doesn't look so different from that of him.... If you suck, aren't you the same age?

Polygamy, or something?

It is common in aristocracy and elsewhere. Per the village chief here, he's got a lot of women in the samurai, maybe.

"What are you going to do with that woman with the filthy blood?"

"Take him away. I'll help Shirley!"

"Damn, he's a stupid brother. I can't believe you're leaving the house for dirty blood. Well, I don't mind. I'll take over the house instead."

He laughs when he dulls.

Was Fantim the son of the village chief?

... I see. You must have been quite prepared to jump out of the house and come to me.

If they show you guys like that, there's no way they won't help us either.

Me, too, sweetie.

"Fantim, don't be silly."

From the back, a man slowly walked in.

He is probably the father of Fantim...... the village chief of this village.

The man is very fat and grins as he rubs his fuzzy belly.

"... Father"

"You fly out of the house and live alone? And take that filthy bloody woman with you? It would be impossible to decide. I am cursed. So I got sick, and I was destined to die."

Fantim tried to yell, but I control him.

... children's words and Fantim's father would kick ass.

So let me take your place.

"Mayor, are you sure?"

"I don't know. I appreciate you bringing him this far. You'll chill your head one of these days."

"... nothing fantim has said is strange though"

"... what?"

He's staring sharply at me.

Family matters.

However, if... if you haven't listened to me and the village chief hasn't changed his opinion.

I'll take care of a kid named Fantim and Charlier.
