Episode 20: Hello from the bottom of the earth * 6

Not to mention Krah's professional skills, which are no longer the case.

Laocles!

Laocles, in a strange state, sat down beside the bird and breathed roughly.

Are you okay!?

"... it's okay."

As I approached, Laocles looked at me and said so.

Yes, but... rough breathing, words that break with it, and a much weaker voice than usual all seem to insist that everything is' not okay '.This is definitely not okay.

"Oh... no. Did you get this with a poison arrow?"

Mr Crowe, who stopped by, put his hand on Laocles' helmet while saying that.

Though Laocles seemed a little reluctant, the unintended resistance would be lightly contained by Mr. Crowe and the helmet would be removed.

... when I took off my helmet, I understood Laocles' expression.

The eyes staring at a point are powerless, and there are wrinkles in pain between the eyebrows, and the sweat is conveyed all the time, and the complexion is bad.

"Very poisonous."

… poison.

I was horrified to hear Claire's words.

I don't even have to think about it.

Arrows. When they protected us from them.I wonder if there was an arrow somewhere back then.That's where the poison...

"To this extent... if you rest a little, you'll do anything"

Don't be ridiculous.

Crowe smiles slightly as he slaps her on the forehead... looking around.

"Um... I wonder if this is him. Excuse me!"

Crowe kicks the archer-like person who was lying down on his back and begins to poke his nose at him.

Is this it?

Then I took out the vial from inside... and looked inside, and I poured a drop of it over the nearby stone, and looked again... and sighed.

"... I wonder if it wasn't Golda's poison."

"Um, what does that mean?"

"Yeah, well, it's okay. I'm not going to die.Don't worry, there are no sequelae left on your body.There's nothing to worry about, Corgo. "

After a brief description of the poison, I feel relieved for a moment.If you're not going to die, well...

... No, wait. Somehow, Claire's words are somehow contained.

"... and what kind of poison?"

You don't have to tell me.

When I asked again, Laocles said that before Claire was reluctant to answer.

... with that in mind, I'll keep staring at Mr. Crowe.Please confess.

"... yes, you can tell me."

"Hey, Claire."

"Don't tell me, Corn will be worried."

Laocles shouted impatiently, but that's what Claire said... explains.

"It's a poison that causes severe pain. That's how painful the poison arrow would be for a tough knight."

"... poison that causes severe pain"

Claire nodded and Laocles turned away after repeating for confirmation.

... right now, Laocles is in a lot of pain, right?So, you're sitting still, and your complexion is bad...

"I see... no, I wonder if it's the right kind of magic catalyst to make you think you have severe pain.Pain is just an illusion.It doesn't hurt your body, and it doesn't kill you.Resistant to the magic of hallucinations doesn't work that well... but he doesn't seem to be that resistant. "

While listening to Claire say that, Laocles is surprisingly distracted.... I wonder if it's the pain hallucinations that make your eyes shake from time to time.

"I don't know what this poison is for..."

"In this kind of place, right? Just because the poison arrow is looted, you can't move one of the mighty knights.It's convenient. Well, after he took this, he killed one of his own. "

Answering Lian's question, Claire wandered her gaze... and sighed.

"And then... I'll use it to torture you.I have it now, too.If you use the wrong amount, you'll go crazy before you spit out information, or you'll kill yourself because you can't stand pain. "

... is it that painful? Crazy, suicidal... I wonder if Laocles feels pain right now.

"Um, Mr. Crowe, this is an antidote."

"Because magic is the main body rather than poison, it's difficult inside.It's not just magic, it's the one who's lurking inside... "

... if there's an antidote, I thought I'd draw it.But it seems that detoxification is difficult.

So, what's the medicine?

"That's right... it's not real pain, so it doesn't stop the pain.If you insist, it might be best to get drunk with a strong drink. "

Oh, you know, booze.

As soon as I hear Claire's words, I start drawing alcohol. [M]... but I've never drunk alcohol myself, and I haven't observed it very carefully, so I can only draw a glass with an amber liquid in my image.

"And then... well, there's one more thing."

... Claire looks at me with such a strange smile that I'm not sure I'm drinking.

Um... what's the "other one"...?

"You have two choices."

Crowe bends in front of Laocles and peeks into Laocles' face, saying.

"Number one, just hold on.Maybe five hours until the poison completely disappears. "

That's it.

"Listen to the end of the story."

Ms. Crowe continued her conversation as she slapped Laocles on the forehead.

"How about poison, overwriting it?"

... overwrite? Well, that's...

"You're a reputation detective for the magic of hallucinations and temptations.... I can show you a better hallucination by overwriting the pain. "

"What does that mean...?"

As soon as Laocles showed interest, Mr Crowe smiled and said with pleasure.

"Well, the quickest thing is to fascinate me.If you're crazy about me so much that you don't know the pain, well, that's fine. "

"Stop it....."

Laocles is sweating because it doesn't seem to be caused by pain.... as far as I'm concerned, I'd be glad if Laocles was crazy about Claire.

"Really? Or you can make it feel really good.I'm good at it, too. "

"Stop it."

I think that's fine. Isn't it better to feel like babba babba babba rather than pain?

"... so now you're almost asleep?I'm not more confident than charm and temptation, but I'm still confident I'm going to make it work. "

"That's... what, what happens?What do you use it for... "

"Hold on, I think I'm going to blur you.Depending on how you use it, it's useful to create a state where you don't have a few minutes to a few hours of memory.You know, when you steal from someone's house. "

When I hear Claire's story, I think again, oh, this is who Claire is, or will you be remembered?

"Here, which one do you want? Are you going to keep hurting and worrying about your corn?"

"Is there anything decent..."

"That's a lot of words. It's mostly meant to do something about the pain.There's no way I can handle it with a semi-life technique. "

That's what Mr. Crowe said, made me look a little angry... and then approached Laocles.

"... so what do we do? If you want to expose yourself to ugliness in front of both you and Lian, I'll do it for you."

The impending Laocles was very worried, and perhaps he was carefully examining the means of 'enduring the pain as it is'... but as soon as I and Lian met, it seemed that they started to get lost in the examination...

"... please lower your awareness."

"Yes, sir."

After all, Laocles decided to have Mr. Crowe overwrite his hallucinations.

Great! I didn't like the pain Laocles had to feel, so I'm relieved!

... that's right.

"Look at me. I feel like I'm gonna keep everything."

Claire faces Laocles and starts using her magic.

A sparkling, jade-coloured light runs into Claire's eyes... oh, I've seen this before, I remember.

When I was drawing Claire all night because she seduced me. [M]At that time, Mr. Crowe's eyes had a similar atmosphere.That's right. Is this Claire's eye when she's using magic?

"Fufu, it's weird to put a cooperative opponent to surgery.It would be easier if it were always like this. "

While Claire giggles, Laocles looks a little complicated.

"... well, have a nice rest.I'll make sure you don't get any pain from all parts.Lian and Corn protected me, so I'll serve you like that. "

Ah, Mr Claire's gaze is soothing.Gently, her soft and loose eyes stared at Laocles.

"... good night"

And then, Kakuri, Laocles drooped.

I went to take a gentle peek at Laocles, whose thread fell off... ah, I didn't sleep.My eyes are open! I was surprised because I thought it was all sleeping!

"Now he's sleepy and awake."

Claire exhaled and explained.... it seems that Laocles feels like he's dreaming.That's right. Is that what it's like to lose consciousness?

... somehow, in the case of Laocles, it feels more like you don't feel alive or dead when your eyes are open and blurry and your reaction is scarce than when you're asleep...

"... I'm a little scared."

"I see. Something's wrong with Laocles..."

I'm a little worried when I look at Laocles, who just opens his eyes blurrily.But if I was worried about Lian...

"Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of.... I see."

Claire gently stretched her hand to Laocles' cheeks with a woody smile on her lips.

And then...

Laocles looks at Claire blurry eyes, and then smiles loosely and caresses her cheeks with a big smile.

Instead, Laocles' hand moved loosely and extended to Mr. Crowe.Laocles' big, grumpy hand stretched to Claire's smooth cheeks and began stroking her like she was being beaten again.

... wow.

"... honest feeling."

"Yes. This way, your reason is completely weak, so you're kind of being honest... fufufu"

Claire explains this with a laughing voice, gently takes Laocles' hand, stroking Claire's cheek, and smiles as she gently returns to Laocles.

... I think I understand that Laocles was a little reluctant.

"... well, it must have been so painful for this to happen."

While I was drawing Laocles and Claire, whether I was tired or even more unconscious, Laocles was also drooping, and Claire stroked me loosely from cheek to jaw.

And Mr. Crowe looked a little complicated.

"No way, I didn't think I'd really be able to keep it all.Maybe it worked a little too well. "

"What do you mean?"

"Well, there really wasn't any resistance to magic.That's why even instinctive resistance was suppressed... "

Ms. Crowe pulled herself to the side that Laocles was about to collapse and stabilize herself, then said in a slightly troubled face.

"It's like being stuck with a knife and being defenseless against someone who's good at enchantment and hallucination magic. It's a big deal."

"Hmm...."

I see. I don't really understand it, but I do... feel like I'm going to have a lot of trouble accepting magic without resisting knowing that I'm being manipulated.

Yeah, I think I know Claire's analogy a little bit.It's like being stuck with a knife pointing at you...

"So, I wonder if it was so painful and weak... well, because a big man who seems to be made of stone and steel couldn't move, so of course it was painful."

Claire is wearing a slightly easier look by removing her shield and clasp with dexterity while letting Laocles rest on her back.I'll help in a hurry. [M] I drew this armor, so I know the structure.

... after taking off some of Laocles' armor, Laocles blurred with a fairly calm face.I knew it was strange...

And now that Laocles is relaxed by Mr. Crowe, he looks like he's going to sleep a bit.

... let me observe Laocles in an unusual and unprotected state... and I thought...

"I think Laocles was defenseless because he was Claire."

"If you're in front of someone you trust, you can take a nap and eat.It's in the hands of a trustworthy person, and if you know what it's for, you can be reassured to some extent. "

Animals become unprotected during meals.That's why the teacher said it's biological instinct not to want to eat when someone you don't trust is nearby.

But I can't resist eating in front of Claire, Laocles, and everyone in the woods.If anything, this should be resistant to biological instincts again, but I can take a nap in front of them with my stomach showing.I mean, I do.

"So, Mr. Claire, I think Laocles trusts me."

"... I guess so."

Mr. Crowe seemed a little confused.But it's closer to... being a little surprised, or a little distracted than in trouble.

"Fufu... it's kind of weird.I can't believe you can trust people with this kind of work, not with your work skills. "

Listening to Mr Crowe, I can see her situation until now.

I'm sure there were a lot of people who would ask Claire for a job, but there weren't people who would try Claire's tricks on their own.

Besides... I was wondering if Mr. Crowe had ever tried to use magic to help others.

A little, Mr Crowe seemed to be thinking.But that's just a little bit...

"Well, if that's the case... it's a corner and I wonder if you'll indulge me!I trusted you to keep everything, and now you're feeling dreamy and fluffy! "

I thought you said so... Claire started stroking Laocles again with a smiling, smiling smile!

Wow, you look like you've never seen Claire before!Something called "I can't wait!" I'm stroking Laocles with that face!Laocles is being caressed and blurred with a slightly more pleasant look!It's an incredible sight for both of us!

... I don't know what to do! I feel like I'm seeing something I shouldn't!But I want to paint it because it's an unusual expression!Don't draw, but I want to... draw!

"Get rid of the poison!My spirits are already working! "

"Ah, yes... but only one! Just one!I'm going to work really fast for this! "

... so I said I couldn't draw one.

It's kind of like a picture of a goddess of love healing a wounded warrior.No, it's not. Mr. Crowe had a more canned face.I didn't look like this...

Not enough training yet!

... eventually, satisfied Crowe leaves Laocles with the birds to keep an eye on the catcher.Now that they know we're doing a lot here, we can't just go home.They have decided to be sure to feed on Crowe's charm and temptation later.

However, now that Mr. Crowe is depleted, there will be no one to fight against in the event of an emergency... for now, in the direction of maintaining the status quo.

And I'm continuing to treat the poison.

I'm getting used to handling poison.The poison in the bucket is gradually being painted into water, and at the same time, the poison is not being taken into yourself.

Somehow, I think it was because I worked a little too hard that I wasn't feeling well just now.So, poison your own... spirit?I mean... I can't explain it very well, but maybe so.

Now that I've handled the poison a little better, I can handle the poison faster than before.

... that's how we kept dealing with the poison until dawn.

And then...

"Oh, my God, there's no poison coming out."

"Hmm...?"

At dawn, Lian raised her voice, so I thought about it... and I thought of it.

"But... are you done?"

I asked the flower in a hurry.Then the flowers exhaled the water vigorously, and they followed me with their foreheads. [M]

... all the images spread in your head are empty barrels.

Then, the poison could not be hidden out in the barrel room, and the people of Golda opened the barrel, but the barrel was empty and the poison could not be discovered, but because the poison had disappeared, the poison manufacturers and Golda's knights were in a hurry.

... it looks like we made it!

"... it's over"

The spirits of the mountain gently stretch out their servants to me, and stroke my cheeks and head so that I can work hard.Feel it, oh, I feel like we did it.

The moment I realized it, my body relaxed and I suddenly fell asleep.Unfortunately, Lian, who was nearby, was able to support me and I didn't have to fall over.

"Oh, hey, Corn. Are you okay?"

"Yeah... no..."

I hope that Lian is supporting me with his whole body. Let me just lean on it and let my body relax.Then Lian called for help, so Claire, who flew in, picked me up from Lian, dragged me slightly, and carried me next to Laocles... to the bird.The bird is slightly dissatisfied with the cushion instead, jing, chirping...

"Thank you, Spirit. I don't think the children of the forest will get hurt..."

The spirits of the mountains gave up their slaves, as if they were saying, "Here we are."Yeah, me too.

"In the meantime, it's time for Laocles to wake up... and you can go to bed.I'll watch the birds, so Lian can sleep too. "

The bird listened to Claire and said, "Eh!?Looks like '.Yeah, nice to meet you...

... so I'm going to let you sleep.

By virtue of the birds, next to Laocles, your consciousness is gradually melting... and...

"... hmm?"

I feel like I'm being followed, and then I wake up.

When I woke up, Lian was sleeping next to me. [M]And Mr. Crowe is sitting in a chair, watching loosely, and Laocles is sleeping next to me, and the birds are sleeping...

I was wondering who followed me, and my buttocks were moving.

Heh

"Mr. Corn? Did you wake up?"

"Ah, yeah...."

Crowe's gaze is gathering, but I'm worried about my feet... and I'm staring at the ground where I've been sitting until now.

Then... the ground is moving.

Oh, I thought this was the root of the flower, but something went wrong.The flowers also seem to be somewhat confused, and they are trembling.

I was looking at the ground thinking something...

From the stone to the stone.

Blue and bloodless... my hands just came out of my bones and skin.

... hi.
