The Spearmaster and the Black Cat
Forty-one Talk Clues & the Leakers
Sabido looks all the way from behind the throne.
Six eyes on a distorted face.
Black cape edged in purple by purple armor.
I let that cloak swoop and walked refreshingly.
"Did you kill Kuna?
"... ah"
Six gazes pour on me, Handkerchief, and Black Cat (Lolo).
The shape of the orbit is complicated and the expression unreadable.
Hankai was staring at this demon clan (Sabid).
The Black Cat (Rollo) is alert with his hair upside down and his tentacle bone sword floating around the universe.
"Ho, if I thought Kuna's wave of thought had broken off, would he still be dead? Are you really a human being who lightly defeats the cunning Kushanaan tribe among the demons?
"I don't know?
So, point the tip of the black spear at Sabead.
"Hmm, you want to fight me?
Six eyes move giggly.
"Don't you mind if I don't fight?
"Funny thing to say. Aren't you here to fight? I can do either."
So let's stop fighting. There's also a handkerchief.
So untie the black spear.
"Then I'll stop it. I just went back to get my stuff."
"Oh? Huh, when did you not fight? Funny. You, you're still not normal. I like it. What's your name?
"Shuya Kagari"
"Shuya...... it's Shuya. I, the Seven Demons of the Dark God, am called one“ Sabid of Purple Darkness ”. Why don't you make a deal with me?
Seven Demon Generals of the Dark God?
Four Kings of Nori?
That is, don't get stuck in.
"You say it's a contract?
"That's right. Once upon a time, I made a contract with a whimsical, human sorcerer."
"Hmm, not interested."
"That's a quick decision. You can present the magic trick, right?
Is the devil the same kind of thing as this ring......
I don't like being cursed, and let's not.
This ring is enough.
"I have this, I don't need anything else."
One eyeball in the six Sabides captures my ring toward the ring I'm putting in my hand.
"Ho, speaking of which, you had that ring's magic fixture. The shape is changing... but I can see it when I'm using it..."
"But you are the Lord of this labyrinth, aren't you? Can you just leave something like me alone?
Sabido moves his big mouth as he takes a gesture that opens his hands to the question.
"- Surely I am the Lord of the Labyrinth. It's the“ janitor ”here. If you are a demon as a species who slaughtered raw, then you must hunt. But that's pre construction. I can tell you guys, especially Shuya, are not normal.... I also decided that there was no guarantee that I would be safe. I don't want to waste my life on you, do I? Besides... the purpose of the labyrinth has already been reached. I don't have to do much."
Purpose?
"What is the purpose?
"... the sacrifice of Lord Livograph, the Dark God. The nourishment of the labyrinth is greatly contributed not only by the dwarves there, but also by other peoples"
Dear Dark God Livograph.
I guess he's one of the gods who lives in the demonic world.
Still, this guy is not what he looks like, he's cautious and discreet...
"... that's surprising. I thought they'd come at me without a question."
"Huh, other demons would have that kind of raw. But there are other reasons. I guess you guys have a stone to go home to, huh? We have it here."
Naturally, I let Kuna sell it.
"This stone ball?"
"Hmm. With that, we'll be back in a flash."
"I will. So your favorite weapon (the black spear on the tanza) is back, too, shall we? Handkerchief, we're going back. I'll give you the stone."
"Got it. Hold this..."
Hankai disappeared the moment he gripped the stone.
Come on, I'll be quick.
"Leave..."
Hold the stone as Sabid's voice sounds.
The moment you put magic into the stone - without the sensation of a bumpy ear.
I was quickly back at the labyrinth entrance.
Looks like we're safe back on the ground. It's still bright outside.
Handkerchief is sneaking around too.
In front of me was a giant staircase down below, thought to be the entrance to and exit from the labyrinth.
"Looks like you're back."
"Oh, it's hissing ground. But I was amazed at the demon clan with the sixth."
"Well, I've never had an intelligent life with six eyes. But I didn't expect a guy like Boss Character to behave so comprehensively..."
Hankai moves his temples piquely.
"Follow me? Boss character? Well, I guess the Demons have all sorts of guys too. Even when I was fighting the elves, I was sporadically deceived... scumbag demon."
Hankai seems a little familiar with the Demon Clan.
"Seems so. So, what's Hankai gonna do now? I'm going back to the Heka Trail."
Speaking of the name of the city without concern, Hankai made an octagonal eyebrow and displayed a puzzled face.
"No? [Heka Trail]? A place name in a war zone... has become a city?
"Oh, wait a minute. Now, I'm going to show you a map of the area, and I'm interested in explaining what's different from what I used to be."
That's what I said, I took the map out of my back and showed it to him.
"Okay...... the Heim River on the Great River across the South Mahaheim, [Mount Bardok] stays put. The terrain doesn't seem to change much. But what was on the battlefield was not a fortified city... neither the south nor the north are the names of the major cities I know.... There is no name for the place where [Yogol, the rock city] of my [Kingdom of Rangour] was. Sounds like after the doom long ago...... but it looks like the shitty elves are doomed as well. The name of Elf's [Befaritz Great Empire] is gone. All I know is [the aerial city of Sena Apua] [the labyrinth city of Pernate] Mmm, looks like there's an elf area here. Is there a country? Both elves end up with internal divisions..."
In Hankai's description, there are mountain rivers, even if the country is torn. The word goes by.
Was Hankai trapped for a few hundred years?
Seems like you've been at war with the elves in the past, but you'd be flabbergasted to see what the elves and dwarves look like now...
There is an empire of Dwarves underground. and…….
Should I just say it casually?
You look like a normal person. Can you believe I'm telling you that?
But... let's just talk about tips.
"Rumor is, there's a Dwarf country in the basement..."
"... ho. Let's remember."
Oh, you know that thing?
Ask me.
"Handkerchief, I'm sorry to take you in, but have you ever heard of the" light liquor beads of the Xuan Tree "and the" law tree of wisdom ”?
"Hmm? I don't know about that“ wisdom law tree, "but I've heard of it if it's a" legendary light liquor bead. "You're the one with the liquor of life, right? I'd like some booze. Anything like" liquor fruit "originally grown in giant trees like the big trees? Eat to gain strength or heal any wound. Or something like that. Apparently," Arotosh, God of Life ”and“ Gaia, God of the Earth ”were created by Sadura, God of Plants, but what's wrong with that story?
Wow. Old Onion is great.
Get a clue.
"Oh, you know what? I'm looking for that, you know where it is?
Black Cat (Lolo) also seemed interested, swelling over his shoulder and pointing his torso towards a small handkerchief.
"You know what? Ahaha, what do you want me to do? That could really exist. Suspicious. It's like" legendary mythology ”or“ gay tale. "I don't know where it is. I heard a little bit about it when I was a kid."
Gaku......
"I see."
"Nha."
Black Cat (Lolo) also spoke low and seemed disappointed, getting into the headscarf on his back.
"I'm sorry. Are you seriously looking for that..."
"No, I just wanted to thank you for listening. I'm going back to the [Heka Trail]."
"Right. Let's return this map. And I'm sorry...... can you take me to that [Heka Trail] too? That's all I need to take care of, please."
"Oh, that's good. Right there... follow me."
"Immediately?"
That's what I told him while looking at the doubtful face handkerchief, I'm going down the stairs.
"In the labyrinth again?
"That's right. Don't be surprised. Is it because the adventurers are wacky?
"Okay."
Going down the stairs, the same crowd.
Hankai was showing surprise, but he didn't say anything and follows.
Adventurers were disturbed to get out and in front of the magic team that could go straight to the Alliance.
"Get in that magic formation and you'll be within the city's Adventurer Guild in an instant"
"Oh, I'm surprised you have a transfer team ready. Hey, did that Kushanaan do it?"
"Oh, they do. Kuna's dead, but the magic team seems to be working."
"I see. Is this how you lure people, shitty elves, into this labyrinth?"
"Kuna was also an adventurer. - Oh, if you explain to the guild what you killed..."
"Why don't you tell me it was the demon Kushanaan"
Handkerchief was speaking with a strange face as he put his arms together at the end of the armor section on the chest of the Vajra tree torso armor.
"No, Kuna is in Adventurer Rank B, right? Like that, the woman who was building the magic formation of the metastasis, connecting you to your guild in the labyrinths everywhere? On the table, can you believe me by saying that I was actually a demon and that I was just an adventurer?
"Hmm, I can't."
Totally agree.
I knew it, right?
"... right? Make it up appropriately... yes. Do you decide that he died surrounded by a large hogz in the labyrinth? Handkerchief, if the Alliance asks you about your relationship with me, you will be duly deluded."
"Got it. If the Adventurer Alliance bothers you, I'll keep my mouth shut about Shuya. Besides. I've been captured for a long time, rehab and when I get into the city... I want to take a look around the outside world and see what's going on with the shitty elves. So we're gonna disappear all over the city soon."
For a moment, the color of Hankai's eyes looked darker.
You all right, buddy? Ma, not what I found out......
"... I'm sorry. Thanks."
"I'm the one who was helped, aren't I? I don't care."
"Or so it is."
"Then I'll go first. I won't forget the favor I was helped. Maybe I'll see you somewhere else? If you leave."
"Ooh."
Hankai shook his onion head and laughed and disappeared into the magic formation.
Hankai?
A funny onion head, but he was a luxurious man.
Well, just now, I duly thought of a reason...
Suppose you explain to the Alliance that Kuna is dead and I get caught or something?
Will I be released when that happens?
Will there be guild masters or some sort of investigation......
No way, you find out you killed him, or your guild card will record criminal information in real time...
There is no such thing. That's just too much leap.
I can predict there won't be that on the adventurer card I have.
If you can get that far on your card, you'll find out I'm not human when you first sign up.
Was it blood and magic?
Because it was about a god named Olymyr, the god of order, or something, maybe, maybe...
Ma, I can't help thinking about it any more.
Like I said, should I say I'm dead?
Easily gather your thoughts and then step into the magic formation.
When he was transferred and returned within the guild, he didn't see Handkerchief.
They left the guild as we were talking about and disappeared into the city.
Slightly relaxed, peeking around.
Inside the guild is more crowded than usual...... or there are adventurers, guild staff who seem busy trying to kill something.
And the injured adventurer is continuously transported out of the transition formation.
Strangely enough, I headed to the reception.
"I'm pissed off. Yikes - shark, kiki!
I've heard a tall female voice from somewhere inside the guild, but now I ignore it.
There was no reception available.
I don't know why.
Inside the guild just now, it's really noisy.
Line up in rows that are irresistible and crowded.
To wait with a spear hanging on my shoulder because there are several people lined up.
Keep all the requested items out of the item box while you wait.
I get attention from the people lined up at that time, but they smile appropriately and say they're deluding...
"Hey there, that's an" item box, "right? Were you in Pernette's hands?
I was spoken to by an adventurer lined up behind me.
Should I lie properly?
"No, but it feels similar"
"Right. Other labyrinth cities, empires (Radford), religious states (Heslifart), neighborhoods, hey..."
Like that, he continued the conversation without difficulty with a subtle smile.
I don't know. It's my turn.
The receptionist was not the middle-aged man he was talking to before challenging Kuna and the Demonic Labyrinth, but a pretty woman with a prominent veterinary necromancy.
"Requested items and cards."
"Yes, I'll keep it"
When the receptionist receives the card and the requested item, she moves to the back.
After a while, I brought back the money and the cards.
"Um, they were having a party, weren't they?
After all, that question comes up.
"We did put it together, but Kuna died surrounded by a large hogz"
When I hear that, the air feels frozen...
Not only the receptionist, but only around me quietly.
"... What?" Um. "Mr. Kuna is dead?
"Oh, I tried to help, but there were a lot of passives, and a hogz came for me, too. I was skewered by a great sword, and I saw him killed."
The cat dents and the receptionist shakes her hand slightly.
"... Oh well... when I say large hogz, is it a B + class hogts-grant? You went deep into the Demonic Labyrinth..."
"Oh, that's what I'm talking about"
Now, what will happen......
Worst case scenario, they'll find out I killed Kuna?
If that happens, then so be it...
"... that's a shame. For that matter, it seems impossible to collect the artifacts. I get it. Now we'll give you your reward and your card."
Whoa, that's an outgoing yul.
- But the receptionist's eyes are frightened?
Why? Ma, but if it's nothing, okay.
After all, adventurer cards aren't that versatile either, as you'd expect.
There doesn't seem to be any records of murder or anything.
But even if Kuna, who set up and contributed a transfer formation to the guild, dies, is such a light response not seen as a problem inside the guild?
I thought it was something that existed like the Alliance Master or the corresponding investigator would look into......
Well, the Adventurer Guild was the first to hear of non-intervention in disputes between “fraternity" adventurers, so maybe there's nothing like that.
Collect gold and guild cards.
I saw the card.

The number of accomplishments is increasing.
When I finished checking, I just went outside the guild.
Then, we take a peek at the stables next door.
There you are. Popobum looks fine.
When Black Cat (Lolo) also finds Popobum, he jumps to the back of his head.
Bubbo, Bubbo, I'm going to say something. My little lady is cute again.
Hey, healing, because Kuna has smeared the smile of a woman, the fear of a luscious grin.
The more time passes......
Betrayed thoughts break my piggy heart.
But you still have a rough nose.
I stroked her hard skin.
"Bubbo, bubbo, bubbo."
Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Looks like you took good care of me.
Then a caretaker man walked in with a bait box.
"Oh, that warcraft, are you taking me?
"No, no, I just came to see it."
"Really? Good."
"Why not?
"Oh, no, somehow, I'm going to look at people's faces properly with this guy. Small eyes, that's weird, you've become a habit, you're smart, you're cute..."
The little fat caregiver talks as he strokes Popobum with one hand.
It was named Pucci, or someone with a good personality.
I'm glad there are people like this.
It's happier for Popobum to be on board.
"To feed you now?
Point out the box the caregiver (Pucci) has.
"Yeah, this guy, he seems to like to eat a lot."
"This guy's an omnivore, so, oh, you got enough food for him?
"Oh, it's okay. You gave me silver the other day."
"Well, leave it for a while. Ask me to take care of you so you don't get fat"
"Yes, please, I'll take care of it"
Pucci was joyfully bowing his head.
I smile back, too, and bow my head gently.
"Rollo, let's go"
Black Cat (Lolo) taps Popobum's head gently with his tentacles before coming running.
As he jumped to his shoulder, he dived straight into the headscarf on my back.
In the headscarf again. Well, okay.
The headscarf weighs a lot.
I followed the stables.
Now, go back to the inn and check the contents of the item box...
Hmm?
There are four or six magic vegetables following with a certain feeling from behind......
What? More......
See how things are going a little. Without daring to look back, I tried to see how far it would follow me.
Big off the inn road, walking down the alley from the boulevard.
So I checked my back again.
Analyzing the guys they're tracking... it looks like there's more than one amateur move, and there's a mix of obvious hand-worked guys chasing me.
"Lolo, it's going to be a fight. Evacuate now. Come back when you signal."
The black cat (Lolo) appears to know and faces out of his headscarf without saying anything.
Jump down and disappear into the shadows of the alley.
Definitely about Kuna in time......
I don't know why.
As we approached the narrower alley - the pair ran from behind.
I met him.
"Whoa, you - what's the reason?
"Why don't you just come home and say," Kuna "?"
With a plugged face, a hyoroi man and a muscle man came to talk.
That's Kuna's face, isn't it?
- Oh, I remember. The men who were guarding in front of Kuna's shop?
Don't tell me you were a demon, just tell me Kuna's dead.
"... Kuna is dead, the monster killed her."
"Hey, what the hell?"
"Don't lie to me! You must have killed him. What organization are you from?"
He's spitting, talking with a desperate face...
The muscle man and Hiro man had each pulled out a long sword and a dagger.
"Draw your weapon... why? What is that organization?
"Don't let me know, you assassin"
Ugh... what is tissue to an assassin?
- Still, besides these guys, there are signs of multiple magic vegetables behind them.
Doesn't that mean you're not interfering, after all... are you being watched?
"There's no way Kuna's monster is going to kill you for lying white. She said," Dark Kuna. "
What is that, a dark kuna?
"Even if they say it's that dark or something? It's refreshing for me. I don't care what you say about the atmosphere..."
I speak so with all my heart, but the pair in front of me don't seem to believe it at all.
"There's no reason to believe..."
"Oh, Lewis is right. This guy is absolutely deluded. Whoa! Bastards!! So go!
Hmm, did you increase the number of people? Three more, five more.
Talk to me and you'll see. Not likely, but for once...
"I'm telling you, I really don't know the organization or anything, and all I can say is that Kuna was killed by a monster."
Well, at the end of the day, it's a lie.
Lift the black spear with one hand, don't mind, it's banzai.
Raising his hands as he sharpened his gaze, he rose in royalty.
"Are you surrendering? Are you messing with me? Damn it!"
Chip, and the Hyoroi man said dirty words to throw them away, trying to pierce a dagger to see if he was confident in his speed.
Surrender? He's too stupid.
I grabbed the black spear. I let go of the handshake, instantly moved the handshake to near the tip of the black spear and re-grabbed it - I kept that re-gripped black spear short, and I kept going to pay off the Hyoro man's dagger with my left hand, and stabbed the right short spear blade into the Hyoro man's chest at the shortest distance -
"Guuuuuu."
The hyoro man collapsed on his forehead and hung to be covered in black spears.
"Become, Lewis!
When muscle men scream like that, they run from a position of distance to beating me with a long sword.
Use the black spear as it is with a stab in the body of a hiro man.
I stretched the black spear to hit the muscle man with the body.
The extra muscle man collides with the body.
I fell like dancing with a corpse.
Keep dying - and when I pulled the black spear out of the body, I slapped the belly and legs of the muscle man rolling the black spear half a turn to the ground with metal bars and a stone bump, beating him over and over.
In order to stop my slapping, each of the three people who came later will attack me with a sword or axe.
He and the others don't need an exorcism or a chain...
I stopped attacking the muscle man rolling on the ground and ran forward.
Black spear reach is long.
While running, let the man with the ax (Misochi), who was leading the way, eat the black spear poke that took advantage of the normal twist and defeat it.
"Guh."
With the smallest motion pulling through the black spear, the black spear was again stretched to the right and gently pierced down to poke the man's skull through the tofu.
Continue to treat the black spear to draw a lower arc to the man coming from the left, causing momentum to devour the stone bump to the lower abdomen.
"Ge"
The man holds his belly and groans.
In that frontal position, like lifting the face of a rammed man, I let my left knee kick to my face and lean back.
In addition, he hit a spinning kick in his right leg with the magic of pursuit on his opposite face, which left a knee-shaped mark.
The man, who devoured the kick in a row, blew it out with a dull sound, thrusting through the sidewall and rolling inside the ancient folk house.
"Help me" at the end of the kicking spin, and I heard a screaming voice coming from behind me.
It's the muscle man who fell with the body just now.
I hurt the muscle man's body with a black spear, but he was still conscious, but he seems to be completely out of his mind... and he was screaming with pity.
Ask him more.
"... muscle. I really don't know what organization Kuna's in, do I?
I put the spear down, take out the knife and hit the muscle man in the neck.
"Hino, wow, okay. Oh, you, you really didn't know anything."
"That's right. You were talking about Kuna in the dark, but what was Kuna to you?
"... we are members of the Dark Alliance [Tsutsu's Tail]. Mr. Tsu is a founding member of [Tsutsu's Tail]. He's a Dark Alliance executive."
A dark guild...
"Well, that's why you thought I was a different Dark Alliance assassin."
"So-"
The moment the muscle man spoke so - several throwing knives stabbed the muscle man in the head and throat and died lightly.
You're in the wrong place there, Titty Titty Clapping -.
It was a pair of men and women who appeared with a cedar hand.
"The move. Looks like you killed the Dark Kuna. It's amazing."
"Por, dad. This guy's move was really brilliant."
"Right. Ange."
Create a strange atmosphere, both of you.
The man wears a top hat long hat and has deep fallen eyes.
On his mouth he had grown a distinctive mustache with curly hair tips and wore men's clothing resembling a black swallow tail suit with a standing collar.
The woman has beautiful light blue hair and blue eyes, and wears clothes that seem to move easily based on light blue.
You have to be more careful than that outfit.
The two of them had magic on their legs because they seemed to be able to use "demon fighting".
Staring at those two...
"Wait. [Midnight Bell] Quickly, is that solicitation? It's not going to be that easy. Yo?
The characteristic woman's voice was heard from behind a pair of men and women who were clapping.
Appears so single from the shadows.
The figure is an elf with long ears.
Is this elf also equipped with demonic martial arts? Magic remained on my feet.
