Episode 367 Zaraine
I regret using drugs and have seen people living in a difficult life.The president of the company I worked for was someone who was receptive to people like me, so I fell into drugs and sometimes hired people who tried to fix things up.
At that time, I had the opportunity to listen to a little... if I lived without using it, there would be nothing, but if I used it once, if I knew the pleasure, I wouldn't be able to escape for the rest of my life.I am very impressed by what I said.
That's why it won't go away.
"Do you think this man, Zana, used to be a drug addict?"
"No, I don't think so.At least that didn't happen until a bandit named Noble got to his current size.No matter how big a shield you have, I don't think you'll be the head of this body.
In addition, considering that the people who were gathered in the castle relied on this man for a while, this is what happened recently, right?I don't think it's that close, but I don't think it's that close. "
"We've been talking about this for months..."
"Originally, it might have been a little more troublesome, but this man drowned in medicine and the bandits were already rattling."
"Looking at the incompetence of his men, he must have been almost a one-man bandit.The leader is broken, the bandits are broken... "
"Sometimes, I think we've been drowning in drugs since we got back... but then, it looks like we might have something to do with the black dog..."
"But I don't think black dogs get paid for this, do I?I'm just going to be a parrot... "
"... is this man too familiar?"
"Then I'll kill... No, if Noble was in Zana's one-man state, it wouldn't be good to kill him.But I don't think you're the only one who knows too much.And there's the dark magic, the contract of death.You don't have to do this..... "
I remember something and stop talking.
"Did you come up with something?"
"... Heineken, Pilte. You said the blood tastes bad when you drank the blood of the people you caught alive before?"
"Yes, because the blood of people who drink too much stinks."
"That means that the ingredients in your blood also affect both of you."
"... I mean, if we drink this man's blood now, our heads will become parrots..."
"I'm still guessing, but perhaps... could you tell me a little more about the taste and smell of blood?"
When they drink blood, it depends on how much of the ingredient mixed with that person's blood is taken into themselves, but it is quite likely that they will receive it because of the influence of drinking the blood of the alcoholic man and Pilte being temporarily unable to move.
"About taste and fragrance...?Well... as I said before, the blood of people who drink a lot stinks.How does it smell.... "
"I wonder if the smell like rotten oil is close.It smells like a strong mix of liquor. "
I wonder if it's like breaking fruit liquor with oxidized oil... just imagining it would make me sick... and Pilte would probably throw up.
Alcohol is basically a high calorie drink that is great for adding visceral fat.By taking a large amount of it, the blood becomes oily and the alcohol is mixed there.
"Other people who are extremely fat also smell the same oily smell."
"On the contrary, healthy young people don't have that unpleasant smell... they taste like mellow, rich fruit liquor."
"Does the old taste bad?"
"If you're healthy, it doesn't taste bad, but is it too thick, or does it taste like it doesn't have enough moisture?"
As far as I can tell, the taste and smell of blood are still directly related to the person's physical condition.
At the very least, it tastes and smells of the ingredients in the blood, which means that it has been ingested into their bodies.Not everything is absorbed, but blood mixed with strong drugs is dangerous to the boulder.
"It's too dangerous to take this man's blood."
"It's Zaraine's influence..."
"Probably.
In this case, I'm sure Zana was drugged in the black dog's thoughts... I didn't expect to be prevented from reading blood memories in this way... "
"Wait for the drug to come out of your body?"
"No... I don't know how long it will go out, and I don't even know if it is the ingredient that will go out in the first place.It might be useless to wait.It would be more likely if the black dog were drugged without killing him. "
"I can't believe I haven't harvested anything so far..."
"I don't know yet.If we can talk to Zana well, we might be able to pull something out.No, we have to pull out the next piece of information. "
If we go back to the castle now and bring in survivors, we probably don't have the most important information.
Looking at their emergency response capabilities, combat capabilities, and all sorts of things, Zana feels like a man who doesn't trust anyone but herself and doesn't like his powerful men.The most important information must have come in on its own and not spoken to anyone.
Supported by the fact that the black dogs only fucked Zana.
"I don't think it makes sense to talk to a man in this state, but... there's no choice but to do it."
"If Zaraine's effect runs out, he'll probably be exposed.I'll hold you tight and keep an eye on you. "
"Yes."
We decided to take Zana back to our base and begin Zana's interrogation.Zana woke up a few hours later when the sun began to rise.
"...... nh......"
"Looks like you're awake."
When she noticed the signs of Zana waking up, she called out.
"......!!!"
When my dazed eyes captured me, I remember what happened before I fainted, and I looked like I was mixed with fear and anger, and I couldn't say anything.
"Bobo, what are you going to do to me!"
Zana tied herself up and tied herself up to a thick tree in that state, so no matter how much she went wild, she could never escape.Naturally, my hands and feet are tied together so that I can't use magic.
"Oh, you should be judged by my patron gods!Shizushi, die! Die! "
Black eyes on the sauce, long gray hair, long ear elves.Though a bandit, his face should be quite beautiful.And yet, it's very unlikely that you'll open your bloody eyes and scream as you salivate.
"No... you're completely insane."
"Even if we could talk about it, it would be suspicious if it were accurate."
Both Nil and Pilte are quite dry.
"It will be difficult to have a decent conversation for a while... I'll tie my mouth and leave it alone for a while."
"Got it."
"Ah... me, my goddess!Bo, please destroy my enemies... guhihi... guhihihi... "
Zana looks up at the empty sky and laughs bitterly.He's the only one who sees something.
"Ngu! Ngaa!"
Zana, whose mouth is bound by Pilte.Even if it's not decisive, I wish I had the information to decide on the next step...
"Ngah! Ngah!"
"Ugh... that sucks..."
Zana gets violent trying to escape from captivity.During that movement, a sweet, smelly liquid comes out of Zana's lower body.He leaked his urine.
I don't like the smell that covers my nose.The sweetness is mixed with the unpleasant smell.
"... I'll take care of it, so the three of you need to be on the lookout."
With magic, this kind of processing is easy, but it's not a job for the opposite sex, and I'll come forward.
Nil said he couldn't let him do that, but when he said it was okay, he was very vigilant and moved to the surrounding area.
"Absolutely... when I think of him as the leader, I want to sympathize with the boulder..."
I used magic to murmur as I processed.
In any case, it seemed impossible to extract information from a man named Zana, but I was convinced that I could get something.
Because this man escaped the castle by his own will during the raid.
I can see that the thought circuit has collapsed, but I think that there is probably still room in this man for a little sanity, for such time to come at the right time, and for escape.
If everything is really broken, you can't even make a decision to escape.It's just not out of speculation, but it's not wrong... maybe...
Nevertheless, even if I could get information from this guy named Zana, it wouldn't be as close to the core as it gets.
There seems to be no doubt that the Black Dogs are involved, but if you really shouldn't know, no matter how big a bandit leader you are, you shouldn't let them live.Maybe he's just buying time.
"We have too little information to judge..."
The event "Castle of the Demon King" came with a notification from the system.There was no subsequent conversation about this.From the fact that no other notifications have been received so far, I think that everything that happened from one incident with Mrs. Arten has been the subject of this event.
If that's the case, one hand at a time from here will be very important.I want to choose carefully, but there is also the possibility that the choice to choose carefully is wrong.Perhaps it is correct to run north without thinking about anything and enter the magical world with brain muscle movements.
"If it's an event, I think you might want to give me a little more hint... it's really a kitten setup."
"Ahh... oh..."
Zana keeps seeing the voices as she makes sounds that can't be said to come out of her throat.I'll pray to Zana if she's a goddess or patron goddess so I can talk to this man for a few minutes.
"Mr. Sinya."
What's wrong?
When Zana is finished, Heine approaches.
I need to talk to you a little bit about what's coming, okay?
"I don't mind.
Nil, will you look at Zana? "
"Yes, leave it to me."
"I'm watching, too."
Pilte also seems to be with Nil.
Just me and Heine, stay away from Zana and start talking.
Well, what are we talking about now?
Prompt Heine to talk in a moderately remote place.
"I think you can tell by seeing Zana, but I'm almost out of my mind because of the medicine.If the time comes to talk, it shouldn't be today or tomorrow. "
"It won't be possible for a while."
"So, why don't we take Zaraine's line and move on?"
"Zaraine's line?"
"As I mentioned earlier, the drug Zalaine Zana was using was very expensive and not very popular.I think it's possible to get it on a scale as large as Noble, but if it becomes so dependent that it's insane, it should be consuming a lot.That's enough to say that I used it all the time. "
"In other words, if you get a lot of such expensive things, there will always be traces somewhere.
But that's what they know.I think there's a good chance of a trap? "
"Yeah, I think it's definitely a trap.
But even if it's a trap, it should be a sign.If someone comes after Zaraine, we should be able to get a move on from there. "
"I don't think it's a thick line enough to be done so easily..."
"I'm not stupid, so I don't think they're going to make it easy, but I think it's better than not doing anything... what do you think?"
It's a super troubling hand.
If we get stuck in this trap from the tip of our nails to the tip of our heads, it's likely that our defeat will be confirmed at that moment.Heine and Pilte are believed to have information about Grandma Arten, so even if they don't kill her until they find out, Nil and I are willing to kill her from the beginning.I mean, this trap must be trying to kill you.
"I feel like I have a sweet idea..."
"Really? If Pilte and I were alone, it wouldn't be such a bad idea."
"Just you and me? That would be more dangerous."
"No, Nina, Pilte and I have been hiding for the last four years, so if we disguise ourselves and go out, there will be fewer people who will notice."
Heine and Pilte have searched the streets and villages from the demonic realm to the Rangibi.I mean, it's a place I've never been anywhere before.Then there may be people who look at their faces and notice.That's why I said it was more dangerous for us to act alone... Heine and Pilte, who had been in hiding for four years, suddenly showed up and disguised themselves, and I think a lot of people wouldn't notice.
"Sinya and Niru-chan may not know what they look like if they're disguised, but they're too far away from common strength, and anyone who sees them will notice right away."
That far?
"That's all they can do."
"I'm trying to hide it..."
"Even if you hide it, those who notice it will.In that regard, Pilte and I wouldn't have had any difficulty melting in. "
That said, Heineken will show you the adventurer's registration card.
Getting information is the easiest way to dive in as an adventurer.You won't be interrogated more than you need, and even if you're two women, you won't be licked if you have the strength. But...
"It's too dangerous."
Based on the information from Noble, the nearby towns and villages should already know about us.Forcibly gathering information is risky.
"I understand the danger."
Still, Heine doesn't try to pull back.
"There's too little information for us now.We should gather information now, even if we risk it.
Besides, Pilte and I have fought this far, and we're vampires.
In that case, I promise I'll run away right away. So what do you think? "
…………………
Heine speaks as she suggests, but you can see it in her eyes.She is already determined and willing to go.No matter how many times I deny it, I'm not going to break it.
"... okay, but if you get noticed, make sure you run away immediately."
"Yes, I promise."
"One more thing. Come back to us regularly."
"We have to share information, and we're going to do it from the beginning."
"... I understand. If you can promise me that, please gather the information.Nil and I will return to our first base and continue Zana's interrogation. "
"Thank you for believing me. I'll see what I can do."
"Prioritize their lives over delivering results."
"Fufufu. Got it. Then I'll go with Pilte and gather information in the nearby cities and villages."
Ah.
After all, it was pushed out, but Heine was absolutely right.If you think about anything but danger, I want information now, anyway.
Of our few cards, Zarain is the only one that will get close to them.It is only natural to follow it.
Nil and I dropped off their backs while praying for their happiness and for the two of them to leave the base.
It was Zana who first changed after she started acting differently from Heine and the others.
The drug, Zaraine, has gone out of effect, I'm terrified and I'm starting to freak out.Emotions are always unstable, and if you think you're angry, the next moment you start crying, laughing... you keep running about things you don't understand, and Nil and I are in a state where you can't return the call.
It was difficult to manage the meal and moisture by forcing it into my mouth and not dying, but if you don't drop information about one thing, it would be a good place to break my bones, so I didn't have to be lazy.
After three days of managing Zana, I found that the sweet smell from Zana's urine disappeared.Although it is an unpleasant confirmation method, I wonder if Zaraine's ingredients are gradually coming out of Zana's body to some extent.
At that time, Heine and Pilte came back and shared their information.In conclusion, there was no information available, but it should not be so easy to grasp the steps.If there was any information gathered here, I could be sure it was a complete trap...
When we told him that we had no information from Zana, Heine and Pilte told him to go to another village and then left the base.
The same thing was repeated for two weeks.
It was time for Zana to start feeling really frustrated and murderous with all the things she didn't understand.
"I don't know if I can scream or not..."
"Perhaps my predictions are off and my head is completely blown off."
"It is worth dying to keep bothering your husband's hand.Originally, I'd like to kill you right away... but if you do that, everything you've done so far will be a blister... what a dilemma... "
"Don't be so frustrated. I know how it feels, but even if the target blows his head off, there's nothing to gain.I really know how it feels. "
