The Spearmaster and the Black Cat
Nine Stories La Kerada and the Black Cat
"Grandpa, that's this guy?
"Hmm? I don't know? He looks human, but he might be a demon."
"Yep! Bring him in. Are you a jerk?
"You'll be fine. He's the one who brought the beast back to life."
I opened my eyes listening to such unfamiliar words.
I don't know a language, but I can understand it.
"Whoa, I opened my eyes. La Kerada! Are you awake?"
I roughly wake up my torso in an attempt to ascertain the Lord of my voice.
"Oh, my goodness."
Turn your face to the Lord of unheard words.
Hmm? Old man?... an old man with horns at the edge of his head.
Next to the old man is a little horny girl.
The girl seems interested in me.
Chestnut eyes concentrate on one point.
Old men and children. And the old man's horns are splendid.
It's not like a child's horn. There was a goat-like curly angle on both sides of his head.
A race with horns on its head.
Winding angle with pointy tip.
This is a realistic corner that looks like a solid, detailed bone density.
Chestnut hair mixes with age-appropriate gray hair.
Deep carved, chestnut eyes. The wrinkles are also noticeable, but the face is tough.
The child's hair is chestnut, just like his grandfather's.
Horns are childish and small horns.
She's a cute little girl with a neat face at a young age.
I dared to take my gaze off the two of them as I assembled my easy-going posture Wallace.
What? Me, you're naked.
No, I'm not wearing anything.
It makes sense, it should suck. I picked it up. I don't even have the gear I was wearing.
Is the necklace with the celestial worm ornament just around your neck?
Did they see me naked?
Well, it's not going to decrease, okay, but here, where.
Sure, fight the white monster and make a pact with the black beast...
Why are you here?
I'll look around.
The light shooting through the wooden window is fine, bright.
The dust in the room reflected sparkling silver.
Wooden shelves line the left corner.
One shelf there was crap, old leather clothing on dirty clothing, lamp oil on beeswax, etc.
On the right you can also see a cloth book with a light leaking from the outside.
That's the entrance and exit.
Is this a digging cabin?
A piece of light plugging through a wooden window...
Staring at such a fantastic light reminds me of my battle with monsters as I daydream.
The memory of sucking blood comes back to life.
The gaze of two people watching me wonder like that.
... from my grandfather staring at me, passing the cat, looking at the girl...
Hmm? Cat? Soon, I put my gaze back on the cat.
Black cat. He's looking at me in the fragrance box.
Cat, ears as pins. Size is kitten size.
Kitten, but there was a presence.
That's... tentacles growing.
These red irises and black eyes.
It's called a distinctive eye, could it be... the black beast you contracted at that time?
Not six tentacles, just two though.
I gave you a name, Rolodine?
"Rolodine?"
That's what I called the black cat.
Then the black cat pops into my nose by ringing "nymph" so cute.
On a waxy crotch, circle around.
He turned his little face up and stared at me with his crushed eyes.
It's cute. I don't know.
I couldn't stand the cute gaze of a black cat.
I stroke the little head of a black cat and put my palms through my soft back -.
The black cat gave me a gobble and throat in return.
Then he reached out his tentacles from his neck.
The tentacles - make a shruggedly small noise and gently touch my cheeks.
"Pleasant," "Sleepy."
It conveys the feelings of a black cat.
Strange.
He told me he could tell me how he felt when he signed the contract, but is this how it is?
When impressed, the black cat has put his small jaw on his knees with his spine stretched over Walrus' thighs. Keep it up, I'm meditating my eyes.
The noise has also rang with the clutter.
It's a cat. It's a cat... but a black beast with a contract.
That dreamy spiritual world wasn't an illusion...... you mean?
And that monster in white armor.
Run away, run away... hunted down, death conscious fight.
I was desperate.
I shudder to remember again.
There, an old man who had been watching me for a long time looked worried and asked.
"... a young man. Are you okay? And then you, when I was losing my mind, my body smelled a little, so I let you wash it with Lefa."
I know.
I'm ashamed, but I can't help it. I decide to ask where this place is so I can get my mind back on it.
"... Um, what is this place?
"This is inside Goldiba. It is a highland area surrounded by mountains in the middle belly of the Mahaheim Mountains. My name is Achilles. This child is Lefa."
Mr. Achilles and the kid next door is Lefa.
The child's refa came forward.
"... I'm a refa ~, what's your name?
This kid is curious. I find it intriguing.
I'm Shuya Kagari.
"Are there two of them?"
"Ho, nobility or something?
I'm not such a big deal.
"No, that's not why. Call me whatever you want, Shuya or Kagari."
"Okay, Shuya. All of a sudden, why were you there?
Mr. Achilles' eyes sharpen with such questions.
Is that like that ruin over there?
Well, that's suspicious, me.
"Did Mr. Achilles fight the white monster?
"Oh, I saw it clearly with these eyes."
Mr. Achilles nods loudly.
He talks with two fingers attached to his own eyes, doing a playful trick.
"Do you know where Shuya overwhelms the Apostle? After that, I saw clearly with this eye the moment Shuya fell unconscious and God the Beast was resurrected. So I carried Shuya, who had fallen, this far. I mean."
Did you help me?
Oh, does that mean I'm a vampire?
"Thank you for your help. But it was underground."
I see the light of day.
This place should be on the ground.
"Oh, that, as I'll explain later, won't you answer the first question?
It became a strict attitude.
"Ah, yes. Eh..."
A little nervous.
Hmm, you wouldn't know if I told you about the pre-reincarnation thing...
I can't put it out in my mouth and explain it well.
Do I have to properly tell you that I have amnesia like the Dwarf old man I met in that dark cave...
As such, it explains Chiguchi in a setting where he lost part of his memory without telling him anything that has been reincarnated.
I told him that I was a special vampire.
Did Mr. Achilles also convince me of my various explanations, nodding with a strange look on his face?
With a finger attached to the tip of his jaw, he wraps a slightly grown moustache around his finger.
I shut up to think about something.
After making a short time.
"... have you almost forgotten your memory? Is it a special vampire half and the light okay?
Mr. Achilles' eyes are a harsh gaze.
"Yes......"
"Well, when I transported you here, I thought it was odd that you wouldn't respond to the light."
If I had been a regular vampire, I could have burned and vanished...
"Wow, you're in Shuya. You killed the messenger."
Refa had placed her small hands on her chest, showing how impressed she was frequently.
Is that white monster I fought called an apostle?
The Dwarf lore in the basement said, "Gramba."
"You call me an apostle? That white guy."
"Yeah, I am. I heard your grandfather knocked you down sometimes when he went underground? So he said," Strong. "
"It is. Mr. Achilles is strong."
"Because I've lived long enough and now I'm an armed priest"
"Armed priest?
Asked so, Mr. Achilles showed me the round medal of the necklace hanging on his chest in his hand.
"Those who manage the Temple of Roses are hereby referred to as armed priests and priests. Once a month, - use this. Use the Divine Deck inside the square chapel to reach the Temple of Roses, deep underground. Is it plain to say that Shuya defeated the Apostle?"
Oh, is the god table leaving here?
Besides, you can still use nuances if you're right about that.
He said the lore is broken and unusable, but can it be used here?
Was it the temple that happened to escape, and there was a god platform?
Oh, there was a statue. The high ground you saw above.
I'm lucky.
Nod as convinced.
"... Really? That's the temple. So thank you for saving me."
Goddess table in round medal.
The place I fought was the Temple.
Is this directly connected to the underground?
Talking about Lore, I remember him saying that the Divine Gear Table was countless.
You stayed unbroken.
Well, as far as Lore's concerned, wouldn't you bother to check out the god table that leads to the earth?
In that underground dwarf world, you seem to call me Muggle or something and hate people.
"... right. But maybe we don't need a temple anymore. - Master Roses is here."
Mr. Achilles' gaze is toward the black cat sleeping on his knees.
"That's when you said Roses and I were called in the past."
Mr. Achilles changed his complexion when he heard my words.
I frown between my eyebrows and my brown eyes get bigger.
"Did you talk to God Beast?
"That's right. I talked a lot to get a contract. Because the name isn't Roses anymore, Rolodine."
"Oh La Kerada... what is the covenant with the Divine Beast... so it was resurrected in that way? My name is not Lady Roses either, to Lady Rolodine..."
Mr. Achilles had changed from surprise to a warm face like he had gained pleasure.
I lay my hands on my chest like I pray to God to make a hand mark.
Here again, I wonder if this black cat, Rolodine, is like a god......
Even so, Mr. Achilles is whining, what is La Kerada?
Not translated with skills?
Some ritual word?
Mr. Achilles meditates a little when he looks at the medal hanging on his own chest.
Quiet...... I was snorting.
La Kerada, listen to what I have to say.
"... excuse me. What is La Kerada?
"Oh, that's a kind of nasty word to be passed on to Goldiba. Prayer for the protection of the beast, thoughts of home, words of gratitude."
Heh, good word.
"That means... that's a good word. Thank you. Words of protection or gratitude. La Kerada."
"That's right. It seems to be a word used by one of my ancestors, but I don't know the details. There it is, Shuya. I want you to take this. From the ancestors, right? I've been told to give this medal with La Kerada to the man who sent the beast to resurrect him.
When Mr. Achilles took the medal hanging on his chest, he made me shake it in my hand.
"Oh, thank you, thank you. But this is important, isn't it? Can I have it..."
This medal, he said earlier that he used this to use the Divine Gear Table.
Sounds like something important...
"... you hold that medal. It might come in handy someday."
Mr. Achilles has tough eyes.
I'll take it if you can. Keep it on your neck.
Now I have two necklaces.
Next, would you like to hear about the "Gramba" and "Apostle"?
"And I'm still curious, what's the apostle I fought for?
"An apostle? That's a monster the priests of the Goldiba have been fighting for generations. Fortunately, I've never seen it on the ground. Looks like they live near an underground cave with a temple. Feathering was referred to as the hunter type, and various other names were given to it. Cleaners, warriors..."
"Not so..."
White monster, there seems to be a lot of apostles I fought for. In the end, I sucked the blood down, but you're surprised that that was a virgin.
"Oh, the numbers don't show up that much these days. They used to roam a lot at one time."
But the mere presence of an apostle around the temple may mean that it is pouring out of that black ring... and recalling Rolodine's stories of the past, monsters and organisms will permanently emerge from that black ring.
"... so there was a monster over there who was an apostle"
"Uhm."
Is the girl Refa not interested in talking about me and Mr. Achilles, watching all the black cats?
"God Beast's Cat, have you changed?
The black cat slept on my lap, but he seemed to be listening and judging the refa properly, pinning his ear, moving his ear slightly and standing up.
Turn your little face toward the refa - reach out your tentacles.
I'm sure for a moment, but the tentacles of the black cat were gently hitting the cheeks of the refa.
When I look at the tentacles again, the tips want to be a little thick and flat, with meatballs on the back like regular cat feet.
"Wow... your cat feels like it"
"Oh, my God!
Mr. Achilles looks out for surprises.
Then the black cat also reached out his tentacles to Mr. Achilles, who was astonished, gently touching his cheeks, where there were abundant lines.
"Ooh..."
Tears were pouring out of my eyes, Mr. Achilles.
That's it, are you happy?
The black cat Rolodine moves away from Mr. Achilles as he shrinks briefly when his tentacles tremble.
That tentacle seems to be quite stretchable.
"It's strange. To the resurrection of God the Beast... I didn't know you could even feel it."
"I don't know what Grandpa said."
All I'm saying is, the black cat walks loosely.
The movement felt elegant somewhere.
But the black cat in the back is adorable.
The hairs that grew on my thighs are blocked.
Looks very soft......
Stuff...... and no, Tokotoko or my hair looks soft and I think so.
The black cat (Lolo), Lolodine walks outside through the cloth door of the book, pretending to move her long tail and thick crotch hair.
We were on the spot, we shut up and watched the black cat act like that.
That butt blocker, I want to touch it someday.
I don't know. Maybe I look like I'm out there too.
Earth of different worlds. I'm excited about what the hell you look like.
I got up from a soft bunk made of wings,
"... I'm gonna take a look outside, too."
Take the old leather clothes that were left on the side and put them through the sleeves and put on the leather trousers.
And I dived out the cloth of the book while suppressing my feelings of deviation.
Outside, the sunlight is dazzling and bright, and the wind is strong.
I slowly moved my head and observed the area.
I can tell right away that the altitude is high.
Surrounded by mountains, with cliffs and deep green trees in the distance, it created a wonderful landscape.
They say this place is on the tip of a highland zone surrounded by such mountains.
Furthermore, it was on an inverted cliff formed by rocks overlapping rocks.
Even if I say on a cliff, the top seems to be quite an area on a plane, as there is a house.
Speaking of how it feels to have made Ayers Rock small and distorted......
See also the cabin that was behind it.
This is the cabin I was sleeping in.
That's simple. It just has a wooden window on the lacquered dirt wall.
Besides this cabin, there are about five lacquered houses. They were connected and converted into one big house.
The walls and large columns of the building have black stains.
The black stain is noticeable, but I can see a thick brand new building tree under the roof, so I could determine that the house that was remodeled was a definite one.
Large fields and cobblestone squares spread around the remodeled house, with several large barrels on the left like wooden reservoirs and drum cans storing rainwater.
The laundry is dry nearby, so I can feel the sense of life.
I went on and turned my gaze on the roof.
There's a chimney.
Some of the roofs with straw roofs on top of the field slabs had areas hardened with clay-based soil from which a black iron chimney was flying.
There's a chimney. There's also a thick object directly beneath it, like an iron or copper metal bar stretching to the ground outside.
I don't know, this.
It was crawling on the ground like a track and stretching here and there.
If you look closely at the stick crawling through the ground, the middle is slightly concave.
Mingqu, I guess?
Looking at the iron bars that were on the ground saying it was strange,
"… that's something useful in winter. This leads to a bath as well as a furnace. Because warmed tanza steel melts snow to make water and runs snow."
He told me.
There's something unexpectedly civilized about it.
I'm impressed - shifting my gaze to the right.
Spreading cobblestone...... it would be a square place.
But you have a strange building.
Obviously, "there was a building made of stone different from the others.
Being blinded by that strange building,
"That's the chapel, and that's the" god table. "If you insert that round medal you just gave it into the pedestal inside, you can get to the temple in the basement at once."
Wow, it's still the elevator.
I was honestly surprised by Mr. Achilles' commentary.
"Down to the basement... all at once? Awesome technology."
I look at the medal in my hand and think about it.
The medal is painted with two swords so that the left and right hands intersect in a pattern overlapping the wings mark and the sun mark.
The back was engraved with the face of the beast as a mark......
With this medal, can we go all at once?
Isn't that something really important?
Can I really get something this important?
And transfer your gaze to the chapel.
That's the chapel. Is there a "god table" inside?
That means you can go downstairs, that's a complete elevator, right?
According to Mr. Achilles' story, this medal is definitely working as a "key." It is surprising that such technology exists.
The exterior of the chapel is cylindrical and has a small circular roof, slightly similar to an Islamic mosque.
The walls of that cylinder are stretched with thin lines like leaf veins and strange architectural patterns -.
- Hmm? Ah. - I remember.
I've seen this in the basement.
It looks the same as the ancient ruins where the green goblins were.
I approach the chapel and touch the surface of the building.
As Ms Achilles added, she spoke about the building.
"They say ancient dwarves made it, just like the furnace, but it was there before I was born... and now it's refreshing how I made it"
"Really?"
"Oh, you won't be able to make it even if you get it. Whether or not even the ingredients are in hand…"
The lost technology of ancient Dwarves.
If there was a mechanical elevator, it would have been "quite a level of civilization..."
It can still be used without decay.
What the hell kind of metal is that?
Plus that temple that was in the basement would certainly have been built by the ancient Dwarves.
Lore was talking, too.
Oh, no...
That's what Rolodine was talking about in the mental world.
Built by a smaller breed... you think?
Like talking about a species with horns growing.
Besides, the story of Guru Dwarf's lore met in the basement.
As I touch the chapel, I think of the architecture that has existed since the ancient days of its strange patterns.
Monsters continued to emerge from the Black Ring Zalarap, and in the ancient times, we used this god table to escape Mr. Achilles' ancestors to the earth.
I'm sure it is.
That's what I was guessing.
Now look outside.
Black cat Rolodine runs like that across my gaze.
Using his tentacles well, he jumped onto the straw roof of the cabin and ran happily over the roof.
When the black cat stopped at the edge of the roof, he raised his head and
"Nah."
And he had a high voice.
I guess the person is meant to be a wolf or a lion......
She's a cat, so she smiles a little.
Makes me want to put a scratch in a black cat in such a lion-king mood, but I let it go.
I walk along the cliff and peek under the cliff outside.
The steep gradient ramp continues.
Underneath it was a forest zone.
The distant mountains and rivers feel like snake paths.
It's like a bean grain on a small plain peeking from the mountains.
Overwhelmed by such otherworldly nature.
The distant mountains are so beautiful that they want to hold a raw tournament.
The chopped blue-white alps stand tight together, and that's what's keeping them together...
Some parts of the mountain range hang from thin clouds.
Foggy thin clouds covered the top of the waterfall in the nearby mountains.
A longitudinal waterfall looks like a giant dragon trying to protrude into heaven.
Spectacular views.
"Nature is God's living outfit."
I've heard what Thomas Carlisle has to say.
If this is such a beautiful world...
Like eight million gods, it's not strange that all kinds of gods exist.
A fantasy world that encloses ancient civilizations.
A world full of all possibilities.
Besides me, there are others who are similar to me...
Or maybe there's a story somewhere in this world about being reincarnated from Earth.
"What do you say? This is Goldiba."
"Beautiful view"
"Hmm. It's best at dusk. Nice view."
You can imagine, it must be beautiful.
"I'd like to see that."
Speaking so, Mr. Achilles smiled gently,
"Well, you can always see that if you're here. By the way, Shuya. I just woke up and what are these questions... what are you going to do now?
Right......
I want to be strong first and look around the world freely and completely.
I want to keep my promise to Lolo and be a promising adventurer if I have one.
Is there some kind of underground labyrinth in this world?
I want to dive in there and try to get treasure.
It would be nice to spend some time with a beautiful woman, some other guys will have been reincarnated, and I'd like to see her and talk to her when I can. Objectively, instead of having a house, you think you'll become a castle monarch and conquer the world?
Dreams are endless......
Ha, you're greedy when you think about it.
"... I thought I'd make a journey to some city or city..."
Oh, I didn't thank you properly yet.
"Journey."
Head down to Mr. Achilles, who shrugs briefly,
"Mr. Achilles, I still couldn't thank you enough. Thank you so much for your help. I have a little money in hand, so help me with that or something."
"I don't need money. Um, what, you don't remember anything else?
Mr. Achilles hastily blocked my story.
Keep it up, I'm staring at Rolodine like I said something.
I wonder if you're still curious about the Rolodine thing, is it God Beast here?
Let's talk about that promise.
"... there is. I'm looking for clues to fulfill my promise to Rolodine. Xuan tree light liquor beads. Also known as the wisdom tree. Have you heard of these two words?
When I asked him that, Mr. Achilles answered immediately.
"Is that a promise to God Beast? Xuan Tree Light Wine Beads...... Uh-huh. It's a word I've heard somewhere. Sure, it's like it was in the story of Ogami... but I forgot what it was about. There must have been various gods out there... but what does trees and light have to do with trees and light liquor?
Because Rolodine said it in the spiritual world too, I need to know if it really is...
"... maybe so. I thought I'd look for that for my primary purpose in the future. Promise to the black cat. You are godbeasts."
"Hmm. So, what's your other purpose than first?
At this time. Let's talk about our aspirations.
"Look around the world, find treasures in labyrinths and strange ruins, drink alcohol with a beautiful woman, fuck that woman, and then be stronger and adventurous and have a home, have a country, and build a base. Or so you have all sorts of aspirations. At the end of the day, just kidding, do you feel like a man has a big ambition?"
Mr. Achilles laughs a little shudderingly and then whines the words "You mean..."
Mr. Achilles continued, smiling and speaking out in the light.
"Including about that god beast, but it's Shuya. Forget the memories, just because you're a vampire" It's going to be a lot harder. Besides, at the moment, I don't even know where this is, and there's no place to go, is there?
I spoke of my goals greatly, but, sure, you're right.
"Yes."
"There it is. For a while, why don't you live here with Master Rolodine?
Oh, thank you, thank you, but is that okay?
"... okay? As far as I'm concerned, thank you."
"Oh, of course. But do you want me to do the least you can do?
I did.
I don't know anything about this other world, and this takes a breath.
"Yes. I'll do my best."
"Preferably. You should use the cabin where Shuya slept on the bunk. It's small over there but has some household goods. I'll introduce you to your family at night."
"Are you okay using that cabin?
"I'm fine. It's a warehouse for customers that no one normally uses. Well, just now, we're running out of light wood, so we'll collect it by night. And then there's the job of carrying beautiful mountain water. You're finally carrying baggage. Let me help you."
"Yes."
So, Rolodine was listening to you too...
Jump towards me.
He rode over his right shoulder while wrapping his tentacles cleverly around my arm.
Are you willing to help?
Firewood and water intake are being transported from below, which is a steep gradient.
Mr. Achilles carries four large barrels, floats?
"What!?"
There was a big bucket floating in front of me.
"Is this... floating?
"Hmm? This isn't it, is it? I just have it in my witchcraft."
"Magic... what the hell is that?
I was listening with my eyes open.
"It's one of the magic tricks, I specialize in magic. Magic moves refer to" demon fighting techniques, "" guide magic, "and" immortal magic. "I'm good at witchcraft, and it's easy to carry things like this."
Magic tricks? It's magical, it's psychic!
Awesome, sounds like a knight from Je Oui.
Mr. Achilles, hey, is that Master Yo O?
Jokes aside, when it comes to magic tricks, I remember having that name when I first chose extra skills like magic fighting...
"... is there anyone else who is (extremely) mastering that magic trick?
"Hmm, it's not like magic and magic, is it? When it comes to refining magic moves, no. And I just haven't seen it... well, the world is huge, so I don't know. To the extent that I have seen it, there are countless uses of magic fighting. But when you become a user of the Devil and the Immortal Devil, that's not true. And because of that, my late father was very good at the exorcism."
Is there anyone who is extreme?
So much so, I wonder if it's deep technology...
Can you learn? Ask me.
"... I want to learn magic tricks"
"Good. But starting tomorrow, little by little. I have a lot of chores now. Let's start with the salary scale."
"Yes."
He gave me a light ok...... I need to hang in there to help.
