Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Dear Genjiro?! Arms?!

"It's okay! Don't worry about it!I'll take care of it!

Speak briefly to Ranka when passing by.

Never mind... I told myself, but I thought maybe I couldn't do it.

Well, Lanka has been a demon for a long time, and he can break it up.You'll be fine.

Entering the inside of the gate, the soldiers in the castle moved around in a hurry.

"Dear Genjiro?!

As soon as you see me, a few people will come by.

"Heal me now!

"No, it's okay.

Put your hand on your left shoulder.

"Instead of stopping the bleeding, the wound is completely blocked.

The scratch medicine that Sena had… it's too effective for scratch medicine.My cut arm was healed in less than an hour.

She said she got it from Sinya... but giving someone something that didn't have the same effect as Yoshiki Hua... is a stranger.

"Immediately heal the magic!

"No, I'm already late.

There are also people on this island who can use healing magic.There are fewer than a dozen people, and only one person is strong enough to repair the damage.

My injuries were caused by Sinya's wound medicine, and I took off the life-threatening situation.Then I want you to use your magic against those in more dangerous situations.

Even those who can use healing magic have magic limits.

"Yes, but!

"It's good.Instead, I heard about Tanasita.Go to the dungeon.

I am a Shiki, and I appreciate everyone's concern, but healing magic cannot be cured after a certain amount of time has elapsed since I was injured.And the time had already passed.

I don't have time to waste.

Even if you leave the battlefield, there is still work to be done.

"Senna and Rato go.There must be something to do.

"Ok!

Wafu!

Senna and Lato are dropped off before heading to the dungeon.

According to Sena, Tanashita is one of the informants and is causing his men to be mistaken among the captive Magic Eye holders.

If Lanka was on the battlefield, I'd leave Tanasita to the castle, but I'd better get involved directly.

"Come on in.

"Ha, yes!

Looking at my injuries, I went into the dungeon, looking sideways at the guard who was surprised.

Behind the iron lattice, you can see a number of faces lined up, expressing despair in the dark.

As long as you're desperate, don't do it from the beginning... but I guess it was used by the crap because I did it.

"... Tanashita.

Stop in front of a cell and speak to Tanasita, who is depressed inside.

"... Genjiro..."

When you look at me with your face facing down, you just say that and stare at the floor again.

Tanashita was in a position to instruct us to be close to the demon emperor.That's the sinner now. He's an idiot.

"Looks like you've been hurt a lot..."

"Thanks.

"... I... what should I do?!I had no choice! He tricked me!They threatened me!

Tanasita screams like crazy.

He seems to have a good grasp of his situation.

The fact that I was thrown away by the junk.I am temporarily detained here, but if I am done, I will be punished appropriately.

Never go back again.

"I don't know. I mean, I don't care about you.

"Ha?!

My words make you angry, Tanasita.

"It's all seeds that you sowed yourself.

Deceived? Threatened?Where is the culprit?

It's all about you.

"Nh!!

"What do you want me to tell you the excuse for my malaise?You sinner, there's nothing I can do.

No, I'm not going to do anything.

I know how many people have lost their lives because of you.If I have mercy on you, it is not strange to be sneaked up to the last generation.

That's all you did.Think about it and spend the rest of your time in pain.

………………

"It's only natural that it should suffer.Those who died suffered much more than that.

However, if you still have a conscience, tell me everything right now.

………………

Perhaps Lanka put Tanasita in jail just to give her a little time...

I found out what I could hear, but I couldn't find out about the key means of communication.

But Tanasita has already told us a lot of information.I can't go back to the Demons anymore.

And even if you stay here, exchange information, and contribute to the end of the war, the crime of killing a large number of people will not disappear.It's not such a minor crime.

That way, even if you settle down, you won't be immune to justice.

I'm already in an octagonal state.I think we've set aside time to make them realize that.

Ranka is too kind.

After making him realize it was blocked in all directions, the desperate Tanasita finally hoped that he would pick up the shards of conscience and do the right thing.

If I was the opponent, I would have peeled the raw skin without saying it.

Cold women tend to see me, but the roots don't change so easily...

I came here because I was trying to peel Tanashita's raw skin and get information...

We talked about whether it would be bad for Ranka to be kind.

If you can't hear it, naturally peel the raw skin.On the spot. But...

".....................................

What?

Open your mouth while Tanashita leans down.

"It's a man named Noda who connects me to the outside world.

"Noda...? I've never heard of it.

"I guess. If I didn't work for the castle, I wouldn't even be a demon.

"Even a demon...?There must be someone in the castle... no.

Yes. Apart from the demons who work in the castle, there are civilians in this castle.

Not noticeably, I was told to walk in the shade, quietly.

For example, those who carry baskets, which are the means of movement for demons.They're civilians.

However, those carrying the cages are forbidden to enter the castle.

Access to the castle is permitted, and access to the dungeon is limited.And even if you come in here, you can't be suspicious.That's...

Cleaner.

There are people in this castle who are tasked not only with regular cleaning, but also with cleaning up jails and cleaning up the sinners' dirt.

They are usually shadows, integrated with the background, civilians.

Perhaps, but I'm not trying to help the Demon Warriors, but Tanasita told me to help and forced me to...

Unlike the tanasita used by the garbage, defying the demon in this castle means losing your job or... worst, dying.

"That's right. One of the janitors has a man named Noda.

He's the bridge between me and the outside world.

To summarize what Tanasita said from there...

First of all, a man named Holino, a mistaken subordinate among the possessors of the Magic Eye, writes what he knows about the current situation on the paper he holds.To be precise, the Magic Eye, called the Remembrance Eye (Nenkikan), is burned onto the paper that holds the remembered characters.

Remember, if you have something in your possession, you can write it on anything, and just remember it, so if you close your eyelids (eyelids), you won't find out.

Another subordinate who is among those who are consolidating around the Magic Eye Holder receives the copy.

It is received by a covert, long-time subordinate, who moves it to the wall.

Though there is a front line near the wall, there is not much fighting power in places with no entrance or exit.

It is impossible to climb close to the wall.

Then, someone who is good at secrecy uses magic to throw letters into the wall.

If you choose a less popular place and be careful, you won't find out what you're doing.Moreover, as the battlefield intensifies, no one can afford to care about such things.

Noda collected the letter afterwards.Deliver it to Tanasita under the guise of cleaning.

This is the sequence.

Incidentally, the characters burned with the memoirs eye, unlike ordinary ones, contain magic, so it is impossible to substitute the writing.

Conversely, when sending a letter from Tanashita, if there is no mark with the magic of Tanashita, it is judged to be a fake or threatened one, and it seems that this means of communication will be cut off.

"... I see. Is that how you contacted me?Even if you were here, would you be able to keep in touch?

"I was thinking of getting caught, and I couldn't get in touch while I was in the armory.

As long as it's over, and if you get caught and put in here, I think you need insurance at that time.It is a means of communication that has been established.

Now it's pointless.

"It's meaningless to you, but meaningful information to us.

You still have a shard of conscience.

"... when I joined the castle, I was thinking about making the island better.You may not believe it..... "

Power, money changes people.Especially the castle work, which is closely related to politics (festivals), is probably the most important part of it.

Even if you come here with a dream, someday you will be drowned in money and power.That's the kind of place.What Tanasita is saying is not a lie.

Still, there are few people involved in politics without losing sight of me.Thanashita's words are no more than an excuse than that.

"... no matter what you say, the facts cannot be changed.

But I'll only admit that I did the right thing in the end.

"Hmm... I didn't want you to admit it.My... just complacency.

Thanasita handed me a few sheets of paper.

On a blank piece of paper, only the family crest, often used by Tanasita, is depicted in the corner.

"The mark is drawn with a mixture of magic.

As long as it's there, we'll figure it out.

... don't come here anymore.

"... okay.

Tanasita said that and stared at the ground again.

I don't feel sorry for you.

I'm glad I didn't lose sight of Ranka's kindness.

With this paper, you may know a lot.No, I'll make sure we get the information.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

When Genjiro was fighting, on the middle south side...

"Hah... hah..."

"What's the matter? Are you tired?

"No, no, we can't... still afford it!

Zashh!

"Gwaaaaaa!"

"Hah... hah..."

It's strong, but Gonzo's health is at its limit.The opponent is still rotting.

Running around the city with all my might, I came straight to the castle and kept fighting until now.

Those who are confident in their health will not be able to do the same as Gonzo.

"... Gonzo. Let's get some rest.

I don't have time for that.

"Let's get some rest.

"... that's not true.I was in a hurry.

If you don't fight while managing your health, you'll be dead by now.

The surrounding enemy soldiers were defeated as far as they could see.There will be no problem even if you take a break first.

"Gonzo, we're going into that building.

"Are you going to the building?

"It's okay. Follow me.

What Gonzo is worried about is how dangerous it is for us to enter a building that is easily surrounded by small numbers.

Especially since I'm a quick swordsmanship user, I can't show my true strength without a large space.Given them, it would be strange to have the option of entering the building.

But if you go in there, you'll see why.

"Is this... a ritual building?

A large square stage and a room surrounding it.The view is good and the ambush is impossible.You can rest here.

"There are some of these ritual buildings on the middle floor.

I see.

Gonzo has never been here before, and it's only natural that he doesn't know.I'm seeing things rarely...

"Rest now. We'll leave again soon.

"I understand.

Gonzo and I will rest on the stage.

Apply some scratch medicine to some of the wounds that Shinya seems to have.The wound that I applied before has already healed completely.

I've heard it in half, but it's really powerful.

"Nevertheless... where will Sakura be..."

"Ahh... we have to find him..."

I didn't tell Gonzo, but Sakura has been feeling pretty weak lately.

Probably still pretty much impossible.

Besides, if you have that personality, you may be worried about someone else than yourself.

Even though it's hard to support myself, it's supporting others… I can easily think of such a painting.

If you do too much, you'll be killed by a disease in front of the Demons.

Shit!

Dunn!

Angry at a situation where he still hasn't even got a clue, he punches his fist on the floor of the stage.

"... hmm?

I noticed something sandwiched between the floorboards.

"What is this...?

Remove (pinch) something caught between fingertips and pull it out.

Is it the edge of the cloth that makes a noise...?

"Would you like a slice of a kimono?

"This is it!

I spread the cut edge of the cloth and immediately understood.

"It belongs to Sakura!

"Is that true?!

"Definitely! I remember all the sakura kimonos!

"Si, Lord Siden....."

"What's with that face?

Gonzo has a disgusting look on his face, but it's not that far now.

"But could it be something similar to Sakura's kimono or someone wearing the same fabric?

"No, it's definitely Sakura's.

I made this kimono a few years ago.There's only one thing in the world.

And... it smells a little cherry blossom.

"... it's not a symptom of cherry blossom spot disease.

"Oh, it definitely belongs to Sakura.

"Thank you for the clue!

Ah!

It was a huge sign of sakura when I came here.

"But... my brother's pictorial face, which smells like a slice of his sister's kimono..."

"What? Say it.Come on, tell me.

"No, it's nothing!

Hmm.

Gonzo is laughing bitterly, but he just smiles at each other with pleasure.

"If we find a clue, we need to get moving right away!

"Wait, wait, wait. You idiot.

Sit Gonzo on his feet as soon as he could.

"Where are you going to find it, even if it moves?

"It's from one end of the road...

"You're really stupid.

"I'm not mistaken for a fool... but I'm not sad to hear that clearly..."

"I don't know when this fabric was sandwiched here.At least I haven't seen them, and they're probably already moving out of here.

"That's not true... even if you look around here, it's not a waste of time...

However, if that happens, there is no clue.

"That's not true.

At least I found out Sakura was here.

Then, the only time you had to break the fabric and pinch it here was to sit here.

"... let's take a break!

"That's right. Just like we're doing right now, the group that took the sakura should have taken a break here.

They're using the lookout ceremonial building as a resting place... in case of an attack from our side.

"If so, to other ceremonial buildings!?

"You can't just take one break.We should be moving this middle layer while the walls aren't breached.

"I understand!Then don't run around looking for the same building!

"It's not that simple, because there are enemies.

"It doesn't matter how many enemies there are!I'll kick your ass!

I see.

I can finally see the way.We need to hold on tightly so that we don't let go of the yarn we've been working on.

"I've decided on my next move...??

Looking up at the sky, you can see green smoke rising in the direction of the castle.

"That's...."

The smoke of the signals we use.

Given the situation, perhaps Ranka entered through the hidden gates.

Interception is the target...

Then we need to be flashy.

When I looked at Gonzo, I noticed that he was still breathing on his sweat and blood.

Gonzo's health has been considerably reduced.If we keep going, we won't be able to fight for that long.

"Gonzo. You should check the ceremonial buildings while avoiding fighting as much as possible.

"Ha?! Then Lord Sidden is in danger!

"Who do you think I am?I'm the Four Demons.

……………

"I'm not weak enough to be worried about you, not even the Four Demons.

"Lord Siden....."

This is not strong.If it's true, I want to go, but I have a job that only Shiki can do, and if I abandon it and go to Sakura, I'll be mad at Sakura.That's a joke.

We must avoid losing saved lives in this middle-class battle.

"... please give me the sakura.

"... I understand!We're here to help!

Gonzo leaves the building from the stage.

It's about Gonzo, so you won't be able to do it if I tell you not to.But if you think about Sakura first, you won't bump into him from the front.

He's growing up pretty good, too, and his head should work like that.

That's good. I'm worried about Sakura, but what I have to do in this situation is work as a Shiki.

"At times like this, it's tough for Shiki.

Standing on the stage and about to go, I noticed a cold killer.

"Huh?!

Hunn!

Roll your body on the stage and avoid flying arrows.

Baki!

The flying arrows seem to have been strengthened by the power of God, and they easily penetrate the stage floor plate.

"You found it!

I tried to get off the stage immediately, but enemy soldiers appeared in the surrounding room.

Some of them look close to Shinobi, and they probably were watching us.

I'm glad Gonzo's the only one who got away.

"Completely surrounded.You'd better be killed.

You think that's gonna kill me?Say something a little more clever.
