Episode 10: Two brave men, then paint * 3

"... is that so?"

If you just summoned me, there would be no obstacle even if the jewels were in my body... I never thought about it.

I didn't know that, so I asked, and Faye tilted her neck, and Laocles tilted her neck.Princess Large also said, "Really!?"and I'm surprised...

"I've done it before.As a way to bring weapons to a place where you can't bring knives or poison. "

Yeah... if that's the case, then there's no point in a medical examination.Well, I suppose that's what you know because you're a professional at it...

"Well, maybe in the case of Ruggylos... you were drinking gems.I don't think that noble little lady is going down there.... "

... what's down there?

"Ah, you don't have to worry about corn.Well... I wonder if that's an industry term.It's like talking to yourself, so don't worry too much. "

Oh, is that so? Yeah... I wonder why Crowe strokes my head...

"Well, anyway... this giant spider must have been a Summoner in the jewel Ruggylos was drinking.It explains why he's dead. "

Mr Crowe explained that to us as if he had changed his mind.

"Unless it's a jewelry that doesn't hurt with stomach acid, after drinking it, the jewelry will definitely break, right?If the gems of the residence are damaged, the Summoners will have to choose between return and death. "

Oh... speaking of which, I've heard that before.And a jewel containing Carnelia's Phoenix.When it broke, Phoenix was back in Chiyoko and the jewels were back in order.I think that's a rare case because Phoenix is Phoenix.

"Drinking gems containing Summoners is such a waste of time.Summoners and gems that are superior enough to keep Summoners are disposable.It's the only way a nobleman can do it. "

"I don't know... well, I can't do it..."

Fei seemed to have something in mind and gently touched the earring jewelry.I think it means, "I won't let you do that."Because Fay cares more about the Summoners inside than about the gems.You can never hurt them.

And of course, I can't either.... I definitely don't want to lose the phoenix, the tube fox, or the fluffy yam.Somehow, I stroked the tube fox that had slipped into my sleeve.The tube fox snapped its face out of my sleeve and looked at my face, and it rang satisfactorily.

"... it's quite possible that Ruggylos sent out a Summoner, that's fine.The dungeon is dark. If only one big spider had appeared in the futon, it wouldn't be surprising if the guards didn't notice. "

That's what Laocles said, with a sinister face.

That's right. I can't blame the soldiers.In the first place, they were watching on the assumption that 'Mr Ruggylos has no Summoners, of course, no weapons of any kind'.

"But what does that mean?If the spider died here because of the jewels damaged by stomach fluids, why did you bother to bring in the Summoners you knew? "

Yes, that's the problem.

With the time limit until the jewelry is broken into the stomach, I don't know when to get out, so if you're going to do something in jail... hmm, what can you do?

... I think Mr. Ruggylos' complacency was probably born out of the margins of Argent knowing he was coming to help.No, I still don't have any evidence that Argent really has anything to do with Mr. Ruggylos's disappearance, and I don't know...

"Mr. Ruggylos looked like he was trying to go to jail.I've decided on a few plans, and I was thinking about if I was imprisoned, and I think I put them into practice this time.... "

I see.

Laocles nodded heavily.

"When I pulled my sword between the thrones, it seemed like I wanted people to come near me.I don't know what that means... but considering that I barely resisted when I was put in jail, I think I was supposed to go to jail. "

"So... Ruggylos was doing something in jail?But if I could get the big spider out, I might have been able to get him out of the grid gap, surprise the soldier, steal the key and escape.And yet, the big spider is dying here without going outside... hmm? "

Yes. The biggest thing I don't know is that the spider is dead here.

The Spider was a Summoner, so the jewels were damaged, so he could return without dying.And yet you're dead here.

And Mr. Ruggylos couldn't hide the big spider, he could have pulled it out of the gap and done something like that, but he didn't.

In that case, I can only imagine that there was something to be done in this prison...

"... hey"

So Lyla said, huh.

"This spider. Maybe... a female spider?"

... hmm?

Does a male have anything to do with it?A little curious, I watched Lyla check out the spiders in and around the bed...

"If this spider were a female,"

"... can't you imagine that he died regardless of the jewels?Well... for example, I ran out of strength in childbirth. "

... while we solidify.

Meanwhile, something comes down from the ceiling.

Kya

It descended right in front of Princess Large... a palm-sized spider!

"I wonder how many spiders give birth..."

About a hundred.

In the meantime, we'll know once again how serious it is by beating a palm-sized spider.

"... that 100 spiders are no longer in this cell."

"Already, there are spiders in the castle...?"

Yeah... Now that we've confirmed the presence of the child spider, we can only assume that the dead giant spider has given birth.I'm guessing Mr. Ruggylos put a giant spider in a jewel during childbirth and drank that jewel.

"... does that mean that this was Ruggylos' aim?"

"The goal was to make the castle spiderless... you little bastard."

Well, I don't think everybody likes spiders anymore.On the contrary, I think it just makes me feel bad... hmm?

"That spider has poison...."

"I don't think so. There's no poison of this kind.It's just a bit of a sturdy carnivorous spider.So, well, I don't think you should be so careful. "

Oh, is that so? Well, then, it really only works to make you feel a little nasty.

"But even though it's poisonous, there's no doubt that there's some sort of feeling about Ruggius Zeil Argent."

That's what Princess Large said... bravely pulled out the sword of light that seemed to have been in the hem of the dress.No, it's like a sword of light, so it's not real...

"Then, raise the castle and kill the spider!"

... I'm just curious, so I'll ask.

"Uh, Princess Large."

"Yes, what is it, Master Corn?"

I was wondering if it was wrong to ask, but I thought it would be better to ask.

Maybe you don't like spiders?

When I heard it, Princess Large hardened to a tingling sound... and eventually nodded to her stomach.

"... yes, I'm embarrassed."

Oh, yeah. That's what I thought.

... it was pathetic to let Princess Large, who was not good at spiders kill spiders, so we and the soldiers of the castle decided to kill spiders.

That said, I don't know how many spiders there are, and I don't know where they are.In such a situation, spider extermination is difficult.

"If this castle had been built to shut down, it would have been like Balsan."

"... who's Mr. Bal?"

Balsan is not a man.And I don't think "Sun" is a title.

"Well, I can't help it. We have to find each and every one of them."

"That's right. Even if we can't crush them all, I think we can expect a certain effect by reducing them by a certain amount.I don't know what Ruggylos or Argent is going to do with the child spider, but we should get rid of the traps they set up as much as possible. "

"I'm good at pest control. That's what I did when I was hired by a noble family. Leave it to me!"

That said... we wandered the castle to exterminate spiders.

"Go! Don't fall in love with the painting! Find the spider! Spider!"

Ah, yeah.

... Especially since the castle was full of traps that caught my eye, it was difficult to find a spider inside.Ah, there's a statue there too...Ah, there's a child spider behind the statue...

Then, about 3 hours.

"... how many did you do? I'm 12."

"That's sweet, Fei! My father did 15!"

"It's sweet, Father! I did 17."

"Ugh! I'm 19 more corn!Hey, Corn! Can I add your share!? "

Fine.

"I did it! I won!"

We were happy to report on the state of the war.The Fai family are very close.

... Somehow, I've never seen anything like this outside of the Fay family, so even now that I'm familiar with the Fay family's interactions, I still feel fresh.I wonder if there are such a family.

"I'm 18. I'm good at pest control.What about Claire and Laocles? "

I'm 18, too. I've retrieved the body, but you see? "

"... I only found seven.I don't think I'm fit for this kind of work. "

And this brings the total to 94. Good work.

"It's okay, Laocles. I'm seven, too."

"I can't be like you...."

... I think I can go with Laocles. I'm a little shocked.

Well, we've exterminated nearly 100 of them.Even if it was left, it wouldn't be that many. Maybe. "

"Well... the question is, what the hell were you doing with this spider..."

... so far, the spider's work has caused Princess Large to scream and put us through a lot of work, but I wonder if she's still willing to do something about it.

"... since the parent spider was a Summoner, I could have given instructions, but I don't think I could have given orders to the child spiders.It may be enough to command the parent spider to command the child spider, but the parent spider is dead... "

... when I think about it, it hurts a little, or something.

We've exterminated the spiders, but these spiders have mothers, dads, brothers... ah, no.When I start thinking about these things, I don't feel dry.I know.That's why after that, you're consciously distracted...

"... corn, what's wrong?"

Laocles noticed and called out because I looked like that.It would be better if you said that it's nothing here, because you don't have to think deeply...

"Yeah... the spiders are just a little depressed, thinking that they've exterminated them as children."

... Laocles would never fool me, and he would never say, "Think of something more meaningful without thinking of something I can't do", so I did.

"... I see."

"Yeah."

Laocles didn't fool me, and he didn't give me any meaningful advice. I'm glad about that.

"I'm so sorry that there's a mother who died giving birth to child spiders, and I'm sure there's a father, and there's a spider, and there's brothers... and they probably wanted me to kill child spiders alive."

So let me talk a little bit more.Instead of closing the lid and getting back up, I want to talk, organize the contents, and get back up.That's how I feel. Am I doing my best?

"... I see. You have a father, too."

Meanwhile, that's what Mr. Crowe said.

"Send the mother spider into the castle and use the father spider to manipulate the child spider.... that's possible, isn't it? "

When everyone was chewing on Claire's words.

I heard a scream.

This voice... is Princess Large!
