The Spearmaster and the Black Cat

Early the next morning.

Arrive at the Mansion, home of [Bergat], in the form guided by Melissa, who met at the luxury inn.

"Here it is. Let's go inside."

Copy that.

The exterior is a normal mansion.

But its interior was different.

In a giant blowout hall, the floors line the slabs, horizontally long shelves and desks like a library.

The Bergat personnel seemed quite busy working there with the various races writing something on thick parchment paper, thin parchment paper, circling parchment paper and serving on shelves, trying to get on the stepladder and take the books on the shelves, and there were men and women pinching their desks and repeating discussions.

Melissa takes the back aisle off the hall greeting such busy working colleagues.

"Usually we're all bright in that condition, but when we get busy, we get more people, we get killer, we're already screwed, so it's tough."

As she walks down the aisle, Melissa remembers a busy time, she talks with an unpleasant look on her face.

I was led to the room that was in the back while having such a conversation with her.

It is a room with a luxurious interior.

Fine cowhide sofas, elephant-embedded desks, chairs and walls are decorated with paintings.

In the center there was also fragrance like a giant anthill cooking incense. A wide range of round cushioned chairs surround it in circles are placed.

I want to fall asleep and be massaged by the beauty.

"We are here to negotiate hospitality for the people of the Grand Chamber of Commerce."

Hospitality or even a real massage.

"Heh..."

"So, Mr. Shuya, I have work to do, so that's it"

"Well, thanks for the guide."

"Yes, please nominate me again... then please be safe"

"I know, see you."

As she floats and nods seriously, she leaves the luxurious rooms.

Well, what do we do now?

Sit on a fancy sofa and think lightly about the future.

Tickets to the "underground auction”, a little later.

I remember the location of the Bandit Guild [Bergat], the meeting place with the Grand Chamber of Commerce executive organization.

Next...

I. Go to the office of [Gaia's Library] and help him crush the branch of [Gaia's Fang]. Or, look directly for and crush the branch of [Fang].

II. Ignore everything and look for the material of the "dead great tree”, the light liquor beads of the Xuan tree, the clue to the jewels of wisdom and the request of the priest's marine.

III. Simply explore the end of the gate.

There are no two or three.

After all, give priority to one, which is the idea from the beginning?

Even if I find the material of the dead tree and come back to Holker Bum, it is visible that [Fang of the Fang] soldiers will come looking for me there again.

So while you're at it, do you want me to intervene in a dispute between [Gaia's balance] and [Gaia's fangs] and smash just [Gaia's fangs] bases in this holkerbum and slap executives and soldiers?

Besides, there is a beautiful brunette leader in [Gaia's balance].

His name is Mia. The beautiful woman wants to help you.

That's my little Justine full of heart.

So get up off the couch and take quick action.

I took the black cat (Rollo) out of Bergat's mansion.

Look at the leather cloth map Melissa gave me and aim for a shop with [Gaia's Balance] headquarters.

Enter the alley from the boulevard and continue straight down the crossroads.

He went out on a promenade lined with stone lanterns like street lights.

Sure, it should be around here... there's a lot of people here.

Oh, there it is. Lost, but managed to arrive.

A wooden shop layout with stairs exists to occupy the intersecting corner.

The horizontal wall is marked with a picture of the balance on a round mark edged in black.

In front of an old-fashioned shop layout, a distinctive beast race stood.

Cat Beast Man, looks strong for a gatekeeper, a member of the Dark Alliance?

Looks like a race of cats and people combined.

I'm wearing the studded leather armor with the "studded leather armor", but the blue hair is popping out of everywhere, so I can determine that my whole body is covered in blue hair.

He had four thick arms wrapped in blue hair on his chest.

Its splendid standing reminds me of a cat-shaped intellectual creature that is likely to appear in Kenji Miyazawa's fairy tale world.

I can see you wrapping a slight magic around your arms and feet.

There were four broad leather sword bands on the left and right wrapped around the waist integrated with armor, with four long swords hanging from the waist to the thigh.

Turn to the front of the store layout, paying attention to that cat beast man.

In front of the store are stone heads similar to lanterns, large stone blocks of the Miyagishi-class like those used in Japanese gardens, lined with tombstones, stone desks and stone chairs.

From this store only the image of a stone maker springs up.

But somehow I didn't see the clerk-like talent in the store upstairs.

There was a stone sign on the front roof, where the name [Gaia's balance] was stone carved.

As you can see from the stone carvings on the merchandise and signs, this wooden mansion has the impression of a stone shop specializing in stone making. But it's an old wooden mansion that sells stone, but doesn't use much stone for building materials in the house.

First, I'll talk to that mighty cat beast man, or I'll be close.

Each of the three eyes looks in the opposite direction, so they seem to be making perimeter observations.

The cat beast man has a store wall on his back with one foot sole on the wall.

I moved my mouth a little nervously.

"... Um, is this the home of [Gaia's balance] of the Dark Alliance?

"Huh? Suddenly what? Who is it?"

Three. The color of one eye is dark blue surrounded by thin green.

Shades close to blue.

Two eyes capture me, and one eye looks around me.

It's amazing to have three eyes and four arms.

In four arms, the two arms on the upper side looked great in front of the chest, one arm on the lower left extended straight, fisting with the palms, and the other on the right arm extended to the sword on the waist.

With fingers wrapped in blue hair touching the sword pattern, it still feels like a long sword is about to be pulled out of a sword band suspended on my hips.

Still, "colors” seem useful when you have so many arms.

I immediately imagine (sketchy) over there. I guess so too...

Well, I just wanted to say hi.

"... a passing adventurer named Shuya Kagari."

"You think you're passing by? What's that for?

"Nha? Nha."

A black cat (Lolo) diving in his headscarf moved to his shoulder and rode out to greet him.

of cat beasts. He still seemed interested in cute black cats just for cats too.

"What is this guy?

He stares at the black cat (Lolo) by moving his three eyes in a giddy motion.

"Partner, friend, user demon, pet."

"Oh - maybe the captain and Victor's husband were talking..."

"Were you listening? Yes. I helped those two before. You weren't there then."

"Yes, indeed. This is disrespectful. I am Duma Haygway. The Captain is upstairs. Please, go inside."

A cat beast man who suddenly becomes polite.

Four thick arms wrapped in blue hair are pointed at the back stairs.

With the cat beast man, he went up the stairs and was led to the second floor of the store.

Upstairs is a large room proportional to the area on the ground floor.

In the center are lined with black brown rectangular desks and chairs, like those used in the conference room, with young men sitting in those chairs.

Everyone's been paying attention to us coming in.

You can also see the big door in the back.

"Captain! He came all the way to us looking for him."

"Yeah-"

When Duma informs him out loud, the woman's voice sounds.

Immediately the main door behind the conference room opened with momentum.

"- Mr. Shuya! I've been looking for you ever since. I paid the Bandit Guild, but I was trying to get information."

Oh, still, she's a clear woman.

Glossy long dark hair. Black eyes are also a good size.

Balanced nose and lips on neat brows.

The reddish lips were vertically visible with small muscles.

Besides, you have a small on your right cheek.

"... is, I'm sorry. I felt bad about staying longer then."

"I apologize for causing such a distraction"

She was lowering her head as she wore a slit grey tablet on her shoulder and held down the edge of a black flared skirt.

When Mia, the leader of the regiment, bows her head, everyone who was on the spot is starting to bow her head.

"Oh, no, this is how I did it, too, and keep your head up,"

"No. Although Mr. Shuya is an adventurer, I, no, am a benefactor to this [Gaia's balance]. Yet without a proper thank you..."

You're a very solid young lady.

But if they keep bowing their heads like this, their minds shudder.

Besides, I want to see more of Mia's face.

"Mr. Mia, please raise your face. I've told you how I feel."

"Yes. It's not just feelings. I'll put my muscles through."

When she looks up and speaks stubbornly, she comes up to me.

"Mr. Shuya, we're all here..."

Speak quietly, and you hold my hand.

- At that time, the killing spirit drifts from the faces of the young people on the strong side around them.

Heh, he can't forgive me for holding hands.

"- Captain!? Oh, no, the man there. What, you're touching me!

Huh? I'm touching it because I gripped it from Mia.

“What, you're touching my daughter on your own, Goraa?"

It also sounds like.

It was the Duma of the Beast Warrior who had just guided me to shout behind my back.

It changes from the polite attitude I was showing earlier, blue hair is upside down so that blue muscles stand on my forehead, and I'm angry.

He was peeling his teeth out and chewing on his teeth fangs.

He can't forgive me for holding Mia's hand casually.

"- Duma. Yes, don't be abrupt."

With such a sense of majesty, behind the Duma, it was Mr. Victor and several youths who appeared from the entrance.

Victor the Hammer has several wrinkles on his forehead like a knife wound.

He was showing his giraffed eyes the same way he had seen them the first time.

This old man seems to be able to kill people with only his gaze.

"Victor's husband."

"Whoa. We're home from the lookout. And then, Duma, this guy is really the" benefactor ”who saved the life of the captain, including me. However, it is better not to ask why I was helped..."

The words of the head of the delegation, Mr Mia, follow so as to overlap those of Victor.

"That's right. Duma wasn't there at that time, so I don't think he understands... Mr. Shuya liked me, and there were dozens of [" fangs "] to uproot me. Had it not been for Mr. Shuya on the spot, I would have been offended and killed by the men of [the fangs of] …"

The occasion quieted back to the mysterious figure that Mia herself, the leader of the regiment, spoke of.

Cat Warrior Duma also has three. Close your eyes and nod.

"... Was I? Lord Shuya. But first, let go of his hand, and see his strength -"

"Dumah, you're not convinced I explained it?

Mr. Mia blocks Duma's story and blames him in an angry tone.

Looks like Duma wants to gauge my powers.

"Yes, no, but..."

Duma still has three eyes pointed at me and Mia every time she says something.

"That's enough. Mr. Shuya, let's go -"

Mr. Mia frowns and looks at the beast man Duma.

As it were, he pulled with the force of holding my hand.

My surroundings flash at the commander's sudden actions.

I was half-forced out of the conference room.

She rambles the door shut and enters what looks like the captain's office.

Further, he opened the door to the right of the captain's office and proceeded straight down the plank hallway.

At the end of the plank hallway is a staircase, down the stairs and walking down the hallway that leads vertically again.

"Mr. Mia, where?

"Just follow me."

Well, I'm glad it feels like I'm being held in beautiful thin hands.

Where they brought me, it was a private room in the corner of the ground floor.

A chair on a study desk on a large bookshelf. There is also a sleeping area.

Discover a doll made of wood on the sleeping pillow.

Rather than being feminine, it's a room where you breathe every inch of your girlness.

Is this your room?

A white piece hung on the back of the chair and a hooded uniform-like garment hung on the wall.

Of course, it's not the uniform that modern high school girls wear.

There may be similarities, but it looks like a complete substitute for magic school students.

Mia would look great on it.

Clear images match.

Costly, I might want you to wear it.

Imagine such a horny thing, looking at the room.

The desk has a pencil set, parchment paperwork and a small storage box.

The contents of the trinket were also feather pens, large cosmetic tools, ribbon hair decorations, a small pot of incense, and hourglass-like props.

Again, it's a girl's room.

But on the bookshelf on the desk,

♪ Underground kingdom of illusions ♪

“Totog Gol Crusade of the Decadent King Demon by Brave Mutu”

“Muto, the brave man who touched the wrath of Totogdius, dies."

“The love of Velzei and Ira, the demon knight caught in the Narrow Vail.”

“Star Sideil Undying Love”

“Eight swords, eight spears, god kings."

“A gentle tiger of divine strength."

From the book of Creative Stories, followed by Magic Related Books,

God and the stars, the wounds of the narrow space (Vail), the blindness caused by the demonic resonance of the void, the narrow space (Vail) and the sorcerer, how to transcend the narrow space (Vail) and connect to the underworld and the demonic world, life and life, the immortality of the soul, life and death, the path to Seulos, the hedge with the demonic race, life and nature, the mourning song, the Lesonante boarding school guide.

Difficult philosophy-related books are also mixed and a variety of books are arranged.

I guess the philosophers of this world (Serra) will have a wide variety of stories to imagine from these book titles. Socrates' story about Hades brings credibility. Will it be more religious than philosophy because God and magic exist close to you?

But Mr. Mia seemed to go to some college or something before he became head of the regiment.

You'll be smarter than me for sure.

"... this is my room. Sorry to take you out suddenly. It's bad for Duma, but I'm quick to take you here to thank Shuya, and it's my job to give it to you directly."

You like muscles, muscles, and hard muscles?

And, don't ask about fuzzy, praise it without difficulty.

"This is a lovely room."

"Is it? I haven't seen many rooms of my generation..."

Drop a rub on his face.

The information Melissa was talking about is overwhelming.

Your parents were killed by the executives of [White Whale's Blood Long Ear] hired by [The Fang], and so Mia, who was an amateur, became the leader of the Dark Alliance...

"Nah."

When I was remembering her past story, Black Cat (Rollo) was jumping on the bunk.

Black Cat (Lolo), as always, seems to love this play.

Be sure to do "this” every time on the bunk, bed, or anything that looks soft. Tired of jumping, he walks up to his pillow with his head caressed.

"- Hehe, sweetie, Mr. Black Cat. Was it Lolo?

"Sort of."

"Ni?"

Turn your crushed red eyes towards Mr. Mia.

What can I do for you? Maybe it's a target thing.

"Ma'am, you sound and understand right"

"Nn."

The black cat rings short with a throat sound that seems tedious.

'It's obvious,' I thought I said.

Keep it up, round on the pillow with a crease.

"Oh, I fell asleep"

"Lolo took the liberty, sorry......"

"No, that's okay. Instead, sit in the chair there or on the bunk. Seriously, we need to talk."

"Are you serious about me?

Sit on the edge of the sleeping table as I was told.

Mr. Mia also sat down on the bunk and looked at me.

It's turning into a serious look.

Do you hug each other and kiss them all the time?

But she has unwavering black eyes.

You don't mean that... sorry.

Her eyes are black close to brown. Behind those eyes I feel a deep darkness of my heart hidden.

"... I'm so glad you saved us. I would also like to thank you. But the original Mr. Shuya is an adventurer. It's not a request, it's not a dark guild.“ Someone completely irrelevant, "but he said," you liked me ”for the reason you helped. But if that's true, why are you doing such a dangerous thing?

Especially that question. The reason is a mind that does not consider danger dangerous.

In fact, I don't recover from wounds, and I don't like pain, so I'll take evasive action.

Later, solitary self-satisfaction, a spirit of intermediate mediation.

And, although there are many things, after all, there are simple answers that are supremely natural.

"... I wanted to help. I wanted to help Mr. Mia."

"Do you want me..."

I can see white skin dyeing red like snow.

"Can't that be all?

"No, Mr. Shuya is a" kind person, "isn't he? Okay - here's twenty gold coins. This is all I can give you now, but thank you for your help."

She removes the hidden safe from under the bedroom and gives out the money.

I also saw other crates under the bunk that looked sturdy.

Can I show you?

Though I helped, I feel too careless...

You look like a serious kid.

Should I receive it properly if I am grateful?

"... Indeed, I received"

"Good. Please take it properly..."

"Why?"

"That's pride. It's small, but it still leads the Dark Alliance."

Slightly, the sight changes and he stares sharply at me.

"Well, let's go back up"

Here we go. Let's talk about it now.

"Wait. I need to talk to you a little before I do."

It's important.

"What?

"I'm going to fight [the fangs]. Actually, I came to tell you today, and I'm sorry to bother you here."

"What? I got help. What am I saying too...... I disagree. There is no need for Mr. Shuya, an adventurer, to become involved in the battle of the Dark Alliance."

Shouldn't we be involved? It's a tight way of saying it.

But she seems to be making some mistake.

Where I refused, they attacked me from the [fangs] side, so I couldn't help it.

Explain it.

"I was attacked on my way to the city from [Fang], nothing to do with it. Because of this, before I helped Mr. Mia in the alley. Thanks to this, many adventurers who received the same request died."

"Nha."

So does Lolo. Soars.

"Oh, that's..."

"Even after I helped Mr. Mia, there was a skirmish. So I can't say it doesn't matter anymore. In other words, trying to join [Gaia's balance]..."

The moment I mentioned that, she was leopard.

"- No!! I'm an adventurer in the battle of [Gaia's balance], because I don't want to involve you."

That's a little tight.

I'm angry, and you touched her upscale or she's in a mood damaging shout.

"Well, I said what I wanted to say, so I'm going back up there"

"Oh, I'm going up, too"

That way, we go up the stairs from the hallway and back to the second floor of the office.

When I enter the meeting from the chief's office, Duma tells me I'm sorry and I can bow my head. He also bowed his head one after another from the youthful members of [Gaia's balance].

Those are the ones who are angry or busy bowing their heads.

And I didn't speak of fine stupidity, and I dealt with it normally.

"Okay, so keep your head up."

"No, Mr. Shuya is a valued captain. disrespectful rhetoric to that..."

Someone important? Something seems to be wrong......

Even if I look at Mia's face, I just lean in wonder.

I don't care if you're mistaken.

I just told him... and he's going home.

Oh, do you want to hear where the executives of [The Fang] are?

Turn your face to Mia behind you.

"Mr. Mia, do you know where there's an office, a branch, of [the fangs of the]?

She hears it, moves her eyebrows tingly and stares at me.

"What do you do when you hear that?

Aren't you going to tell me?

It's hostile, I wish I could tell you.

What, suppose I ask Melissa?

"If you don't want to talk... then I'm going back to the inn for today"

That's what I'll say. After [Gaia's balance] 's office.

Go directly to [Bergat] 's headquarters to meet Melissa.

However, Bergat's mansion is overcrowded with people.

Not very much, but it wasn't a place where I could personally identify Melissa.

Did you even get in for some sudden big job?

I can't help it. I'm going back to the inn.

As a businesswoman, you'd better call me, judgment.

But even at night, Melissa didn't come busy working.

Take a bath early that day and stay neat while brushing the black cat (lolo).

- The next day.

Going to Bergat's headquarters was also a little distant, and I think Melissa is busy, so I interrupted [Gaia's balance] again.

I will tell Mia that I will be on your side and that I will lay low and politely on top of her...

I refuse. I refuse.

♪ The slaves work, the stone cutter, the purpy hunt ♪

“What do you say we work in a stone cutting yard, mixed with slaves, cut stones”

“You should go hunting dragonflies like an adventurer."

And, always, she remained firm in a harsh tone.

At that time, the sound of running up the stairs next to the office sounds.

The door opened strong.

"Captain! Mr. Victor, it's tough!

"Acoustic, what's up?

Victor the Hammer stands up and asks.

"We are gathered at the end of the promenade in a group penetration by [Fang of the Fang]."

"What the fuck!! How many soldiers are there?

A moment of anger.

A seizure muscle appears on Mr. Victor's forehead.

I felt the wrinkles swell up.

"Well, that's what I also saw in both Oze and Jane executives. I was wondering how many soldiers are close to two hundred..."

Was the red-brown-haired acoustic frightened or, as I reported, lay face down?

Go on, Victor the Hammer roughs up his tone and talks.

"Executives, too. Shit, soldiers are like the army when it comes to that number. Besides, when Oze and Jane go out of their way, we have to be prepared. Duma, let's go. I'm not letting you go ahead of the promenade."

"Whoa, I used to just protect you. I'm gonna bust your ass this time. Even if all four arms are gone, I'll smash your fangs!

Duma wiggles her four arms around and shows off her power tumor.

The fighting mood enlivened the surroundings.

"I'm magical, too."

"No, your daughter has had her last time, so please stay here"

Mia is surprised at what Victor says.

She openly expresses an unpleasant look at how this is still happening.

"Why? If there is magic, I will carry it in my favor. My fire magic is superior and I can handle martial arts, right? If successfully guided, you will be able to sharpen many enemies at once."

"No, that isolated you last time, didn't it? Besides... this time the enemy has an" executive ”. Not like before. I will have to fight for my life."

"Then, with all due respect..."

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Victor doesn't seem willing to listen to her anymore. Block Mia's words.

"We may have a unit that will directly raid the store here. Besides, this time the enemy cannot be prevented unless I or Duma take the lead and fight. Your daughter asks for this place. What if this is the last store of my predecessors?

Victor felt like he wanted to say something to Mia at the end.

I was rephrasing and correcting along the way, but my eyes are a little moist.

Could it be... you're ready to die?

"Mr. Victor. I'll protect the captain here."

Is the red-brown-haired acoustic going to look at Victor's expression and show him his manhood, and he talks with a sharp gaze to show it to Mia?

Oh, the red-brown-haired man, did he laugh now?

You want to protect the women's captain and show them the good stuff?

"Okay. There were a few gestures in the acoustic. Protect your daughter."

Mia meditates slowly on her eyes.

And Mia, who opened her eyes and had a rugged face, stepped forward.

I look around together.

A scene passes between the Yamato stroke and the extreme women.

"... Victor, I get it. Neither Duma, nor any of you, will tell you not to die. Instead, exterminate the [Fang]. I'm going to show you what [Gaia's balance] is all about. Clear up the grudges of my father Ranzel, my mother Sheechka, and my Totka sister who adored me. Ugh!

"Ha!!

"Right, Captain!!

"Captain, I'll do it."

"Captain! Even me."

"Captain." "Captain!" "Me, too, Captain!" "Captain!!

The young people are in a shouting mood with the captain in their mouths.

"Hey, did you hear what the captain said? I'll show you what Gaia means!

"Let's go. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Victor and Duma also uttered a flash of temper and heard the sound of running outside and going down the stairs vigorously.

The young people who were upstairs also followed the move.

It was just me in the room, Mr. Mia, and the five gestures with Acouse.

Just fine... I came from the person I was trying to get in.

I was about to join Gaia. Do you feel nervous?
