Zimbaril firm's premises. A room in a warehouse where the servants and employees of the firm rarely approach. Chairman Julis Zimbaril was there.
In front of Julis is a metal pot, about the size of a human head. The lid that fits the acupoint's mouth is in a half-open position.
The contents are a translucent red object that shakes and shakes. Magical incense This was the true identity.
At first, Julis was skeptical whether it was really effective. At this time, he doesn't even have the feeling of doubting its effectiveness.
"No way to call such monsters ... Hey, close the lid immediately."
Juris orders an elder man in servant clothes, looking awfully at the key points. The servant who follows the command approaches the acupoint and closes the acupuncture quickly. That's it for the errand. It should have been.
However, it was at that time that Julis and his three men returned from the warehouse when they looked away from the acupuncture point with the lid closed. I heard a sound from behind.
"what?"
Looking back at Julis casually, the point of magical incense appeared. The lid that the servant should have closed tightly. The lid is shifted and the mouth of the acupoint is half open.
"It's weird, it should have been closed properly ..."
A servant tries to approach the acupoint while twisting his neck. However, without waiting for it, Katari and the lid made a noise again.
"e?"
In front of the confused servant man, the lid falls on the floor with the floor. Julis felt the whole body was irritated by the unnatural event.
I have an ominous premonition. I instinctively insist on running away. Still, his feet don't move and his eyes cannot be distracted.
The magical incense changes again, holding the eyes of Julis and the others together. Translucent object filled in acupoints. The acupoint was not tilted, but it came out of his mouth.
The event that obviously ignored gravity. An unusual sight was happening right before my eyes.
"What, what ...!?"
The gel-like object that comes out of the acupoints in front of the crawling julis forms part of the floor and forms a red translucent mass. As the three men watched with a different expression, they gradually overlapped gently, forming something like a human being.
Elephant It's red translucent, it starts to look like a naked woman with long hair.
"No way ..., monster ...?"
Fearful words leaked from the mercenary's mouth.
"Is it a monster? ... not a joke! If you know that a monster has come out of the warehouse at the Shokai ...!"
Julis himself felt considerable fear in front of the creepy presence. But once you understand the implications for the firm, you start to get impatient in another way.
"Get rid of it quickly!"
Julis's order to remove mercenaries would have been a natural step. The hired mercenaries have been confused by unidentified opponents, but they cannot be neglected by the employer's wishes. Standing He must have pushed his back, even though he seemed to be harmless just to be quiet.
"Husband, please come to the corner of the room from danger"
When he tells Julis, he pulls his sword out of the sheath and stands in front of the demon.
"I guess magic is better than a sword."
Unfortunately, the mercenary man lacked the ability to use magic, so only one sword was the source of power. The mercenary struck down the sword with all his might to a monster who couldn't seem to move even if he held his sword.
The moment the blade seems to pierce the demon's brain, the mercenary's sword is blown off with an unexpected noise.
"What is this hardness?"
A mercenary who turns his eyes to surprise. The red humanoid reflected in his eyes suddenly began to move.
"Wow, wow oh!"
The monster that suddenly hits the body shows a degree of flexibility that is unlikely to play a metal sword, and clings to the mercenary's body.
"Good! Hot! Hot good!"
A demon that gradually wraps the entire body of the mercenary. Only the screaming mercenary's voice resounded in the warehouse.
Eventually, when the face is wrapped in red gel, even the screams sink into silence.
"What ... what is that !?"
The demon reacts to Julis shouting and shouting.
"Don't come!"
This time, whether she aimed at Julis and his servant trembling in the corner of the room, a red female humanoid walks with a shimmering noise.
Julis is desperately searching for a way out of this situation. The exit door is about 5 meters away. It takes just a few seconds to run at full power.
But can that monster overlook it quietly? In some cases, using a servant's man as a decoy. Such thoughts pass through Julis's head.
In the eyes of Julis, who had confirmed the position of the target door, something incredible jumps in again. A woman with a red sword came into the warehouse, breaking the door that had been closed.
"This is what this time !?"
A strange-aged woman who came into the warehouse without notice was dressed in a black long robe. She was a fascinating beauty with her reddish long hair flowing on her back. He holds a red sword in his hand, glances at the juris with his eyes of the same color, and turns his gaze on a humanoid demon.
The woman in the black robe approaches the demon gently without giving a word, and moves in a way that does not seem heavy. Neither "running" nor "jumping", too quiet a gesture can create the illusion of sliding on ice.
In a blink of a second, the woman in a black robe, holding a red sword in both hands, swings right beside the monster's neck.
"What, what ...?"
With the thought not catching up with a series of events, Julis is best able to speak unanswered questions. The woman who swings the sword does not move in the same posture. One of the monsters did not prick, as though he was in a shackle.
It was only a moment when silence came in the warehouse. It was a monster that began to move the tension again.
But it's not the will of the demon-if the demon has an ego. When the head was slightly displaced, the head began to skid from the neck along that line.
The monster's neck, which was not wounded by a mercenary man, screams and falls to the floor. A spectacular sight as if the ripe fruits were shaken off the tree.
After a moment's delay, the demonic body falls to the floor. The same sound as when the bucket was splashed sounded in the warehouse.
On seeing it, the woman in the black robe turned away from the warehouse, turning away from the juriss without turning around.
With no one to do anything and no room for intent, Julis stands out as if she had a bad dream. The stunned Julis finally returned to me after the second hand of the watch had rotated about twice.
"That ... was it saved ...?"
"It's like ..."
The sound finally comes back to the silenced warehouse. Julis remembers an act that was just in front of him.
"It's not a daydream ..."
If the demon is silent, the woman in the black robe who defeated it is silent. Julis suspected himself of a series of subtly unrealistic events, but realized that it was a reality that could not be seen on the floor of the warehouse.
The body of a mercenary whose skin burned and died. A wet floor as if splashing red liquid. And the demon neck that seems to be mistaken for being made by shaving red quartz.
"What happened ...?"
An elderly servant asks Julis for a decision. In response to her voice, Julis switched her mind and worked hard on what to do.
"Unpalatable……"
The mercenary's death can be tricked. However, it was painful to have known the existence of magical incense.
Of course, the magical incense was not known to be the cause of the monster assault this time. But, at least, the woman in black coat has known that there was an unidentified monster in the warehouse of Zimbaril. Denunciate The woman in black is a benefactor who saved Julis, and at the same time, could drive Julis into ruin.
"I'm bad.
What Julis did this time was a clear felony. Attraction Even if the planned harmony plan is based on how much repulsion is required, there is no substitute for being in danger of having Raitin fall with monsters and beasts. Many soldiers and militias who fought to slay beasts and defend the walls should have seen a large number of casualties and injuries.
In addition, the economic losses will be enormous. The large amount of material used to form the suppression army and the rewards for mercenaries can inevitably cost a lot of money. Above all, the impact of closing the gates, albeit temporarily, to completely refrain from communicating with the outside should be great. An amateur who is ignorant of the economy may take it lightly for about two days, but if he asks how much damage will be done in that two days, he will surely turn his face blue.
Another issue was the reputation of the city state rating. Rumors Even if you succeed in repelling, a city-state attacked by a group of demons and beasts will follow you for a while. The belief that the beast was forced to hunt down the castle and that the rumor of the army would be destroyed, and that if the merchants and travelers were far away as dangerous cities, the city would lose its vitality . With these disadvantages in mind, Julis planned and managed to make Zimbaril firm profitable.
But what if the plan leaks out?
It caused so much damage to the country. If you ran over and made a mistake, you would have made the city a monster. In that case, it is no wonder that the overthrow is applied. Man According to the laws of Leiting, the shackle should not have been.
"To a safe place ..."
Julis hurriedly left the warehouse, passing by a servant with an uneasy face.
