Episode 13: Vengeance Skeleton * 8

So, I set up a little defense for the town. Specifically, the wall. I put a slit in the wall so I could shoot an arrow. This will make it easier for Forest Knights and Wall Soldiers to fight.

Then, I decided to put a thunder sperm on every knight in the forest to convey the information.

... thunder sperm is a glittering bird. Flying is fast, so I hired them. Also, you can draw as little magic as possible. These guys.

Also, when you stroke the sperm of thunder, it's a little bit like static electricity, which is interesting. It feels a little addictive...

I also equip the soldiers on the wall, collect Phoenix's tears in vials so that they can heal our injuries while we're away, put out jewels and connect them to beads for a moving collection of skeleton specimens, and prepare everything... and finally, I do something very important.

"You're not going to be able to distinguish yourself from other skeletal specimens..."

When I say so, I nod. Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry. I'm not sure I can easily distinguish a skeleton specimen from a boulder.

Well, then, you have to wear something that will be a landmark.

When I say that even more, I nod and wait. [M]... this skeleton specimen is really big. It's kind of interesting to know that you have that kind of personality.

So I decided to give you the equipment, not mine. [M] White armor and slender sword. Apparently, I'm going to use my sword to fight this shikadoro.

And... the bracelet, or the bone ring. I was wondering if there were any accessories.

At first, I put out a human bracelet. However, without meat, I couldn't put on the bracelet well with my bone only arm... so I decided to put on a ring of bone thickness.

The ring was made in the image of platinum. Designed with polished pearl shellfish embellishments embedded therein... I tried not to get in the way. I don't know how bones work, so I don't really know what kind of things won't get in the way, so keep it as simple as possible.

He seems to like these outfits, touching the bracelet, wearing armor, and wielding the sword.

Yeah. If you like it, most importantly.

Now that we were ready, we were to go to the point I had told you.

From the Redgard realm, headed south-east with the King's City on his back. It appears to be based in the wasteland in the corner of Red Gard territory.

"... are you sure you're coming with me?"

"Yeah."

And I followed him. It was crunchy.... so it was Faye, Laocles, Crowe and Marsen who attacked the base. And then you and I had a stroke. [M]

"Well... when it's time, you'll have to run away with the Phoenix."

"Don't get caught up in it. If that's the case, I'll run away."

I have come here for several reasons. [M]

The first one is because I wanted to bring the bastard.... this skeleton specimen was very motivated. That's why I wanted him to help me.

And the other thing is, when I'm there, I can heal my injuries and build walls. Well, somehow, it's convenient to be able to produce anything you draw.

And... the last one.

"... that sounds like fun, Mr. Corn. You gonna catch a lot of Summoners?

Yeah!

"... it's like a kid looking forward to a bug trap."

To collect a lot of skeleton specimens and other monsters and go home!

That's why I brought a lot of gems. Ready!

Then I traveled with the Summon Monster for about half a day.

"... ah. Is that it?"

Looking everywhere, we finally found something like that.

Is it a rift in the ground or a cave that is formed in the wasteland?... it's like a perforation, but if you look closely, there's a ladder hanging to make it less conspicuous. There are signs of someone living inside.

"Is it right here?

As a precaution, when I asked him, he nodded. And he gave me a very motivated gesture. Yeah, I see...

"I know how you feel. It feels so good to punch your disgusting employer in the face."

Crowe is smiling again. Today is not a very woody day, Mr. Crowe!

"... if you're ready, let's go. Ready?"

That's what Laocles, the lead this time, says, so I nod with her. Ready. Okay.

"Alright, Corn, if you get tired or hurt, tell us right away. If we can't afford it, run alone. Okay?"

"Yes"

Mr Mersen reminds me, too. My job this time is not to get in everyone's way. Don't pull your legs. Let's do our best.

"... and now the invasion begins."

While I saw Laocles go into the hole with freshness, I checked the portable painting materials carefully and continued.

The phoenix descends in the hole. Laocles got off with Alicorn, and Mr. Mersen got off with a horse. Fay is a red dragon... but it's a little too big to get off with a fire sperm bird. Claire slaps with Alexandrite butterfly wings.

... and when you get to the bottom of the hole, you're going to squirm out of the pearl. And then there's the fox tube.

"... there's a sign from the back. Be careful."

"Oh yeah, I'll let you do it alone. Have fun with souvenirs."

While Laocles called for vigilance, Mr Crowe went somewhere.... eh.

"... because Krah is a detective. That will do well."

Oh, I see. Mr. Crowe was a professional at this. Her stunts aren't just about relationships. This is also her area of expertise.... that's amazing.

"Well, let's try to attract the attention of our enemies to make it easier for her. Master Fai will be right behind us. I'll take care of the vanguard."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Leave it to me. Instead, I'll take care of the back!

Mersen and Faye laughed at each other and the meeting ended. Laocles and Mersen were there before, and from behind, Faye and I followed each other through the hole.

It's dark in the hole. However, Laocles and Mersen's lightning birds sparkled, so their vision was largely secured.

"This is handy... You gave me a good one, Mr. Corn."

"That's good."

Marsen gently strokes the lightning bird. Then the lightning bird seems to be happy with it, and the spark is scattered slightly bigger.

... that's when it happened.

He's coming.

Laocles gently held his sword and shield. Mr Mersen was ready immediately. Faye is preparing to release the Fire Spirit and even the Red Dragon. I checked the painting materials. Great paint for magic painting. Paper ready. Ready!

... and what appeared from the back of the hole was a black hat.

The settlement was quick. Shortly after Laocles and Mersen held their shields, the fire sperm that flew over their heads kicked away the black barrel.

"There's a good price for a fire like this."

Fei smiles hard and strokes the spirit of fire that comes back. Ooh...

"Thank you. It didn't look like a sword to me."

"Well, I guess. I'm here for this kind of guy, so let me handle this. All right, it's okay back there, too. Let's go then."

Faye urges us to move on again.... but I didn't struggle that much afterwards.

The big bat ran away when he saw us, and the black pigeon kicked the fire sperm out, and the skeleton specimen...

"... are we talking about this?

Maybe I'm trying to convince you.

Looks like I'm on a mission.

Yeah. Somehow, that's true.

... I brought you here, but instead, I went to see other skeletal specimens, and I immediately started talking...

Somehow, I can't hear a sound at all, so I think it's a very delicate place to talk. The fairy makes a flickering noise when he talks, but the skeleton specimen doesn't even have it. Just to the extent that there was a rattling bone... but as far as I could see, he seemed desperate to tell his old friends something.

However, the skeletal specimens are not responsive because of the lack of persuasion. They're all in trouble, but they don't put down their weapons, they're just messing around...

Ah.

"Um, Faye. What kind of magic pattern of the magic seal is that?

"Hmm?... ah, that's what I'm talking about. All right, I got it. I got it."

Fei laughed hard and opened the lid of the vial containing the red liquid... and began to draw magical patterns according to the magical drawings. It stretches to the feet of the deceptive skeleton specimens... drawing a pattern of magic seals.

When the pattern was finished, the skeleton specimens moved with a twitch.

"Alright, now you're free to move, right?

When Faye called, the skeleton specimens lowered their weapons... fearfully.

The skeleton specimens who lowered their weapons seemed to realize that there was nothing wrong with lowering them. From there, they abandoned their weapons while shaking their bodies, and gathered around my yakuza to share the joy of reunion with Katakata.... it's a skeleton face with no expression, but it's strange because it looks kind of happy.

"Um... skeleton specimens."

I'm sorry to interrupt their reunion, but I gently approach the herd of skeletal specimens and speak up. Then I started to introduce myself to my friends. Ah, nice to meet you. Best regards,

... and then it seems that the introduction of Shirakakuro is over. The skeleton specimens are approaching me.... I don't know what you're trying to say. Uh, no. You have to ask me.

"Um, if you'd like, could you come with me? That's why I want you to be a model...."

And we've become a large area, a population of skeletal specimens plus four humans. Besides humans. The skeleton specimen is the main body. That's the allocation.

"... their original lord seemed less popular."

"Well, I'm glad you changed jobs..."

I was a little nervous about the motivation of the skeleton specimens as I became a leader, raised my hands high, and watched them perhaps "knock down the original lord". Hmm, wow...

"I don't know what's going on with these guys. It's okay, isn't it? If they want revenge, that's it."

Yeah.... Well, then, that's it...

Afterwards, I put the skeleton specimens in a jewel and turned them all into Summoners. These bones will survive!

We're going to stay completely in the big zone. The skeleton specimens don't get lost because they know the way. Wonderful.

... that's how we went along with the skeleton specimens.

"... the door, huh?"

There was a door.

A wooden door in a cave rock. It's unnatural in any case... There's definitely something behind this. That's what I'm seeing.

And the skeleton specimens are showing a lot of motivation. So, there's something ahead.

"... let's tighten our minds."

We are nervous and watch Laocles open the door.

... and...

"Ah, welcome, lovely boys."

There was a woman with clear pale skin wearing a black dress.

"Excuse me."

I'll follow Laocles and Marsen in and say hello.

"Oh... is that Redgard's second son over there?

The woman said that when Faye followed me. [M]... do you know him?

"Oops. I wonder... who you are..."

Ah, apparently a one-way acquaintance. I see. But if I know you, it's a lot worse...

"But how dare you come so far. There must have been skeletons on the way, but... those bastards, they're useless."

The woman sighs deliberately when she says so.... but...

It's slowly coming in. Starting with my chestnuts, skeleton specimens come in from behind.

So, while the woman was gloomy, the skeleton specimens completely settled in the room. Full of back, very reassuring.

"Ah, oh...? Well, why are you guys there?!

The woman stares at the skeleton specimens and screams hysterically. The skeleton specimens trembled... but with my armpits at the forefront, they all started to assemble their weapons with courage. Very reliable.

"Well... here's the thing. I don't know about you, but you're the one who sent monsters to our territory, right? Then I'll get you out where you're going."

That's what Faye said, and he's going to fire the sperm. I also gave the phoenix, the tube fox, and the painting materials.

"... you're leaving, right?

The woman laughs at us. With a bit of hysterical, cowardly laughter.

"You seem pretty confident, but it's no use turning me around like a junk skeleton!... now, you all die here!

A woman's hand stretches towards me.

... at that time, the black dress hem of the woman moved.

The hem of the dress flipped over by a woman, flickering, thinning and spreading... black.

"... wow"

This dress is alive!
