The Last Surviving Alchemist Wants to Live Quietly in the City

Figure. Upper level of the southeast tower

"Coo!"

Running down the spiral staircase, Mariella opened the west door reflexively and went out.

It's dark like a night without moons or stars outside, and you can't see the moon or stars on the surface of the water instead of in the sky you looked up to. There was no light but the lights leaking out of the open doors, not at all visible in the distance, but there was a place like the top of the fence.

That place, where the carriage is so critical that it can pass through, is made of towers and familiarly stone that the anti-falling stone walls can only be around Mariella's waist.

The only thing connected with this passage is the door to the tower with Mariella on this side, and if you can't see the other side but close this door, it might be possible to stop something that Ku is fighting for.

"Gah? Gah!"

To the light leaking out the door, Coo, who noticed Mariella, speaks up.

Looks like he's trying to escape this way while pulling something together.

"Coo, over here!

The figure of Ku is to the extent that the outline is only slightly known by the light of the door, and the identity of what is tangled in Ku cannot be confirmed. I hit my tail with a bash, stepped on it with my legs, and although the pull tries to do that with the occasional bite, it changes shape with the eel. It comes across trying to swallow the coo.

(Demon? Looks like he's not that strong. If so………)

Mariella removes the chiseled harnonias from the outer wall of the tower earlier.

This plant, which keeps the aquatic demons away, does not produce the odor that demons hate, like bromomintera, but it has the nature of eating the demon's filthy magic. So it is a plant that does not live in a clean place without demons, making it a comfortable place for small shrimps and fish living between these aquatic leaves, but it is a somewhat precious aquatic grass with the danger of encountering aquatic demons for the humans who harvest it.

Throw Halnonias into the pine light beside the door. Although it does not produce smoke because it is dried, its unique smell fills the interior of the tower.

Ventilation!

Send air filled with the smell of Harnonias outside through the west door with the amount of serious magic in the magic of life.

Gow and a strong breeze.

If this was wind magic, the wind blade would have torn the demons apart, but what Mariella can use is life magic, and it's ventilation.

Ultra-powerful ventilation makes the skirt powerful enough to turn, but not as aggressive. But the halnonias ingredients in the wind seemed powerful enough to frighten something tangled in the coo.

Watari.

Cu ran toward Mariela, shaking off the demon in the gap where what was tangled with Cu.

"Come in, Coo. Quick!"

Mariela, who opens the door completely and calls the coo.

As Ku's appearance becomes clearer, the demons that follow him are also illuminated by the lights in the room, making his appearance clearer. Its colour in the light was black night and irresistible darkness, with a slime-like, indeterminate mass approaching to crawl with a groove and hem.

"Hino!

"Geez!"

The hem sticks to the floor like wet paper scraps, but the shape doesn't even look slimy. The body color is not transparent at all, and it is not known if there is a nucleus in that black mass. The hem of the large dog is pulsating as it moves. If you look closely, it moves like a small collection of insects, wrapped and swallowed up in a hem that, if finely torn, continues.

Raptor's coo was quite capable of responding, so he's not so strong, but this isn't something cute like slime, it's probably very bad.

Cu jumps into the door enough for each person to go through, so that he screws his body. At that moment of slowdown, the black demon flies to Ku's tail.

"Gah, gah!!"

"Hey, Coo, calm down!

Because it was something Ku would burst into, he even came into the tower with a black demon creeping like mud on Ku's tail without being able to close the door.

The smell of Harnonias went out in "ventilation," and I rushed to pine it all down, so I'm not going to be able to frighten the black demon again.

"Gah!"

With ears and a recoil that Ku shook his tail so hard that it might give rise to a tail, the black demon is bounced off and hit the top wall of the door with a bejerk.

The black demon does not appear to be particularly damaging, and he sneers at Mariella and Ku again. Are you not comfortable with the lights or do you hate the fire when the movement is a little slow and moves to exclude the pine lights?

"Gee, over here!

"Gah, gah!

One person and one person who opens their mouth and gives them an unproductive scream. It's supposed to be people and beasts, but it's linked to both movement and expression. Beyond the walls of the race, feelings may have come together.

I was just going to put Ku in the tower and close the door in the gap that pulled the demon off, but this operation is a failure. The top of the tower stops, and I don't know what's going on downstairs. Because there is a black demon on the western door where Ku is coming from, we have to go north or downstairs where the door is about to break, but given Ku's mobility, we should go outside.

"Coo, over here!

Opening the north door and grabbing the potato next to the door, Mariella rushes out into the dark. Ku also followed and went outside, closing the door with a baton at his tail.

The black demon is in the tower, but the north door is broken, so we crawl out of the gap and quickly approach the Mariellas.

"Ggagggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg"

Mariella escapes north with her back on the cou. From what I saw from the top of the tower, I could see the same tower-like thing in the north and west. If you run in there, you might be able to tighten up the black demon next time.

Even though I'm running on the Raptor, the black demon keeps coming closer and closer. Seems to move faster in the dark.

On the outer wall, I came around the middle of the tower and tower, and Coo makes a sudden stop.

"Whoops, what's wrong, coo!?

With the sudden recoil of a pause, I tried to illuminate the front with a pine light in my hand as I was about to slip off the coo, and the passage leading to the north tower was headed towards the mariellas by a black demon twice as large as the earlier individual.

"What shall we do………. They're following us from behind."

"Gaw......"

A black demon looms from before and behind.

Large individuals coming from the front also appear to be fast, approaching a few meters away while Mariella is overwhelmed with judgment, or the black demon spreading his body like a cloth covered in wind, jumping to swallow Mariella and Ku.

"Gee!

Mariella accidentally throws a pine light in her hand.

As she responded to Mariella's crisis, which shouted girly, Matsuaki took the appearance of one small lizard as she burned up hard for a moment.

"Grrrrrr!!

White light and high temperature flames stinging through the salamander.

Mariella, who closed her eyes to such a glare, had opened her eyes again without a trace of the black demon before or behind her, and a familiar salamander was spewing a small smoke out of her mouth as "Caw".

"Salamander, you're here to help me!

"Gaw!"

A beautiful lizard that just shows up on Mariella's pinch. Where the hell is this' Spirit Eye 'holding eating roadgrass? If you showed up in such a pinch, maybe Mariella would have forgiven you.

"Such a person, I don't know," Mariella said as she hugged a sized salamander riding in both palms, thanking him and putting him on her shoulder.

"It would be nice to have a salamander."

"Gawgaw."

Mariella speaking to Salamander and Coo agreeing. Salamander snapped on Mariella's shoulder as she licked Mariella's cheek with a chill. Apparently, he's staying here.

"Let's go to the north tower before the other demons come"

The tower I've been in is not safe because the north door was broken. There was no one there, and let's head straight to the north tower.

Mariella, with Salamander on her shoulder, took Ku to the north tower when she picked up the pine lights.

Figure. External wall southeast

The black demon no longer appeared, and it followed the north tower without difficulty.

There seems to be a pine light in this tower as well, and when I put my hand on the door of the tower that leaks in the light, I went inside without a problem.

Though I thought it was a north tower, it had the same door across the street from the door that came in, so I guess this is a tower halfway between the north and south walls.

The tower is much like the tower that was built earlier, and this room has a spiral staircase that goes up the tower and a staircase that leads down to the lower floor, in addition to the door that leads north.

"Black demon, you're not here, are you?

Neither of the doors of this tower is broken. Mariella breathes a sigh of relief as she slams on both doors. I just walked in on Ku's tail, but the black demon seems to be afraid of the flames, so I don't think if I put it on like this, I wouldn't come into this room with the pine lights burning by the windows and the entrance and exit.

I sure hope so.

But if a black demon crawls from the lower room, imagine if a black demon descends from the top of the spiral staircase, you can't even take a peek off.

"Halnonias, you should pick it up."

Harnonias had an effect on that black demon. This tower will be the same as the southeast tower, so if you go up the tower, you will be able to collect it.

"Coo, let's go up there."

"Gaw."

Mariela and Cu decided to climb the tower.

It took Mariella's leg a moment or so to get there without taking long enough thanks to Raptor.

When he saw the lights in the room halfway through the tower, Ku suddenly started dashing as he rang "Gawgaw".

"Hey, hey, coo!?

Mariella is desperate to avoid being shaken off. Only salamanders on their shoulders seem to enjoy the rodeo sparingly.

From overhead with one and two of those, he said, "Coo! And, Mariella?," he heard familiar voices.

"Eurique! I was safe!!

"Gaw!"

Coo and Mariella were about to jump on me and say, "Wow, how are you!" and Eurike, who avoids one and one. He's a boulder tutor.

"Mariela, where are we? What about that black demon?

After calming down Mariela and Cu, who are happy to reunite, Eurike asks Mariela.

"I don't know...... But I think there's a master here somewhere."

Mariela answers naggingly.

In that swamp temple, Salamander did point here. Being here from that temple means that I think this is a place that concerns my master.

If so, what is that black demon? Um, what doesn't feel very good?

Even though it was a place where such things roamed, it didn't really bother Mariella that the master wouldn't show up.

"Master, something is troubling you..."

Mariela clogging the phrase. Salamander on his shoulder leans back towards his cheek to comfort Mariella. To its appearance, Eurike said,

"I see you don't know, do you? It looks safe here for now, so we're gonna eat and we're gonna take the day off?

And I suggested.

Dinner was done easily with food for Coo's luggage. He was able to eat both hard bread and dried meat thanks to the tight binding of the skin bag entrance so that it could be wet in the rain. A few days would not be a problem if there was an increase in songs with appropriate medicinal herbs.

The problem is Coo's meal, and Raptor's bait, which is fine even with hard meat like Forest Wolf, was planned to be sourced locally, so as it is no problem today with demonic meat defeated along the way, it is in a state of trouble to bait from tomorrow.

"Gaw."

Are you happy to dine with Eurike or Mariela, or Cu cheeks the demon meat in a good mood.

Even though this meat is from Forest Wolf, which is famous for its stiffness and poor quality, I don't know if it understands the food situation of the trip or is simply a taste tone retard, but I eat it without complaining.

I can't believe such a good boy has trouble feeding from tomorrow...

"Hey, Eurike. It's Coo's dinner from tomorrow."

Mariela suggested to Eurike about feeding Ku.
