Would you like to try stripping the armor from the soldiers around here...?

I don't think the people who think about the operation so far haven't taken measures when they were deprived of their armor, so maybe it's better if they don't wear them well?

That's true, too...

The five of them twitched their heads wondering if they had any plans.

The church itself is large, and there is a large entrance door in front of it.It seems that there is also a back door, but it is only used by people related to the church. If it is used by people outside, it will be found out in one shot.

The soldiers are patrolling in pairs, and two people are standing in front of the entrance.It will be difficult to steal your eyes and enter.

Nil raises his voice when he thinks that there are a number of hands that don't work like child deception, and that he can only fight and perish or go somewhere else...

"...... Master, can I go?"

"Is there something you can do for me?"

“Yes, what if my transformation magic makes me enter as a child?”

Nil can transform into a child.Recently, it was only an adult version that was the original size, but when I met it, it was a child version.I completely forgot, but I've been working with the adult version of Nil so far, so the other party doesn't know the child version of Nil.

"I see... I can surely break in without finding out."

My false-looking ring changes my appearance slightly, but it doesn't change my back length or even my body, so I can't break it if the viewer sees it.

"What do you mean, a child?"

"Eh? With this... transforming magic, I transformed into a child..."

"Can you do that?!"

Huh? Huh?

Heine, Nil and I are pretty puzzled by the temperature difference with Pilte.

Certainly, I didn't talk about Nil being transformed into a child, but I thought that transformational magic was such a magic in the first place, so I took it for granted.

Indeed, according to what I heard from Heine and Pilte, the transformation magic itself was quite an unusual magic, but because Heine and Pilte could also be used, I did not delve deeply into it.

"I've never heard of a transforming magic that can do that...?"

Eh?!

Incidentally, when Heine and Pilte revealed to Suratan that they were members of the vampire clan and the demon clan, it was clear that Nil was also a demon clan.When Surakutan decided to get involved in the demonic problem, there was no reason to keep it a secret.

Is that so?

"Yeah..."

Maybe… isn't this normal as well?

That said, it was the black fog that came out of Nil's body.

Recently, the level of fighting had increased, and Nil herself had become stronger, so she could no longer see it at all, but Nil was equipped with defensive magic that automatically counterattacked herself.

Since the opponent's attacks and their own attacks were lightly over the area where they could react to automatic defense magic, they were adjusted to prevent activation in order to suppress magic power consumption.

This is not my advice, but Nil's mentor, Lanca's advice.The magic that automatically counterattacks is great, but if the level of combat is high and it's not working well, I think we should do something to control it and not rely on it badly.

Here was a chest of perpetual use.

It is a cube of golden metal found in the temple of Ouca Island, which sucks up black fog in response to Nil's coat of arms.The result of the appraisal magic...

[A permanent box... a box that reacts and opens only to certain emblem eyes.]

However, it was still open, and Nil repeatedly tried several times, and she was about to collapse due to lack of magic power.

A box that sucks up the black fog around Nil, along with a crimson mirror, helps me learn how to use my coat of arms and how to handle black fog.

Nil is controlling and suppressing the black fog of the example with her own power.

Black fog, sigil eyes, and defensive magic from my parents.I know this is all one.

According to my guess and that of Nil, the sigil eye, which is too fuel-efficient, is too impossible for the child's body, so I think that my parents put something like a lid on it.

Since it was difficult to explain it to the child's opponent, I thought it might be a defensive magic that my parents put on me...

Nil himself said that he didn't know if he thought of himself or if he had a different intention, but I think Nil's parents did something like a seal to help Nil.

W-What is it...? Is that...?

I thought that the black fog of Nil was not unusual among the demons, but from the reaction of Heine and Pilté when they saw it, it seemed that it was not ordinary.

"When I use Transformation Magic, I use the power of this fog... Isn't this normal magic?"

"Well... at least, Pilate and I use it to change the color of our hair and make it look different when others see us."

"I've never seen such a black fog before.It looks different from the vampire magic we use... "

”Oh, is that so...?”

I thought that it would be incredible to be able to transform into a child, but it seems that it is not normal.In that case, from the story that I had never seen black fog, it was probably unusual for Nil's sigil eye to be within the demon race itself.

"It's likely to be a clue to Nil's parents, but... there are things that need to be prioritized now."

Why did you leave it there first, then transform into Nil and infiltrate?Overlook the city from the top of the bell tower. ”

“Okay, I'll try to make the map as much as I can.”

"Please, we're hiding in the meantime."If there's anything I can do, I'll be at a distance to get backup, so if there's anything I can do for you, send me a signal. ”

Got it.

Give Nil the kids' clothes and we'll get out of there.

We'll be a little farther from the bell tower, but we'll be ready to cover you in a minute.

After a while, Nil appears as a child from where Nil was.His hair is black and he is wearing a worn-out coat.It seems that they intend to act as slaves to their children.

Nil wears a hood, leaves the path, and walks to the front of the church.

The soldiers patrolling the road looked at Nil, and two of them reacted and approached Nil.

It's quite unusual for a child slave to walk alone in the city.On rare occasions, you may see a slave doing something like this instead of his master, but basically, it's done by an adult slave.

Because if you can't carry your luggage or buy what your husband intends, children often can't substitute for adult shopping.

The soldiers couldn't possibly pass through such an unusual sight in silence.

The two soldiers who came to Nil stood in front of Nil and blocked their way.

"Hey, you."

"... yes."

One of the two spoke to Nil in a low voice.

We'll wait with our weapons on so we can get out anytime.

Nil now has both physical strength and strength for the child.No matter how much Nil, it's quite dangerous to fight in a child's form.

"... whose slave is that?"

"I can't give you my name..."

What?

The two soldiers' eyebrows caught in response to the apparently suspicious response of Nil.

Looks like he doesn't think he's one of us, Nil, but he might think he's just a slave we bought for money.

"... asked me to deliver this package to the church.If you stop me, I'll show you what's inside..... "

That said, Nil held out a folded cloth from her coat.

"That's..."

The fabric that Nil can see at hand looks familiar.

The money I gave to Nil so she could use it for something.I don't know how much it was in there, but it must have had quite a lot of money in it.It was two million dice, or three million dice... A little bigger than a child's slave would have.

Ignorant of Nil's intentions, looking at it in silence, the soldier who saw it immediately grabs Nil's hand and fabric and looks around.

"Don't open it in this place!"

Soldiers return the money in a hurry.

"Awwwww! I don't think there's anything suspicious about it." It's good to come through. "

The soldiers apparently ignored the suspicious money and sent Nil through the church.

"What...? Why?"

Heine explains why the soldiers suddenly went through Nil, tilting their necks.

Obushi, obushi.

Bungyu?

“These rotten churches in a rotten city, the churches themselves are often working hand in hand with the bad guys.

I'm going to put a lot of effort into the church, so it's like the church is going to spread good rumors to the public.The church is also a facility that is often used by citizens, and since it is a facility in the name of God, everyone has no doubts. ”

You know that well, don't you?

"When I was doing a lot of research, I knew that the church would also be investigated.

We demons believe in Freudstore, but the Church is absolutely neutral.If you know that you've dyed your hands for evil, there will be mobs coming from all over the demon world.That's why I remember it when I was surprised to see that even the church sometimes dyed its hands on evil when it went outside the demon world. ”

"The demons are just bloodthirsty races, so once the residents become mobs, they can't stop them."Even without crossing such a dangerous bridge, the church is protected by being neutral, so no one does bad things. ”

It's like you said... unique to the demon world.

It seems that there are vampires, Amazones, and other races, but if you think that those races will come together, the church won't be able to do anything bad.

This is probably one of the reasons why the faith in Freuilstore is so strong.

"Nil-chan seems to have been a slave for a long time, and you must know a lot about the backworld."

"If you stop the back money for the church, that is, the sacrifice at the door, you may be considered a rebel against Fjorde.That would be very bad for the soldiers. "

"Even that kind of money flows to the church is a matter that shouldn't be known."So, the soldier was surprised and passed through Nil... "

"I'm not very familiar with Sinya-kun's story, but that's how it is."

"That kind of thing... it's not a good story to clean up, but unfortunately, it looks like that kind of thing outside the demon realm."

I think it's amazing that Nil suddenly came up with such an idea, but I also think that such a bad thing is natural, and I feel a little sad about it.

Once you're inside, we can't help you, but it's okay... right?

"Nil will be fine." If anything happens, they'll give us a signal and come running.There will be no strong enemies waiting for you in the church. "

"It's not an important base."

Until Nil comes out, I'll be careful not to find her.

Roger that!

I had no idea what was going on inside, but I was able to see Nil enough.

Looking toward the bell tower, you can see a small figure at the highest point where a large bell is suspended.The bell is big enough to make a figure look so small.

It looks like you've arrived safely.

“I can't believe I'm really a child now.”

You're really a child, aren't you?

"It's not a phantom."The entity is becoming a child. ”

…………………

Heine puts her bent index finger on her chin and thinks about something.

"Speaking of which, I don't know about a long time ago, but I think there was a story among the demons that used such magic..."

Is that so?

"Yes. I don't know much about it, because it was long before the vampires became demons..."

From the way it goes, is that race gone anymore?

"Yes. It seems that the war with the vampires is not the cause, but I heard that the race broke down a long time ago."

What kind of people do you look like?

"I don't know that much either... but if it were the Demon King, I might know something about that race."

"Isn't there anyone else who remembers that time?"

"If you were Alice, you might know it, but I don't think I know the details because it was information from the enemy."

Otherwise, if you are a long-lived race, you may know something, but the special power of each race is highly confidential, so I think it's best to ask the Demon King. ”

"I see... to solve the mystery about Nil's parents, you have to help the Demon King."

When Nil was able to use the magic that was supposed to be a discontinued race, it seemed that it would be necessary to be even more vigilant about the Demon Eyes.

I know that it is a crested eye and it is quite powerful, and the smell that is likely to lead to danger is pumping.

I didn't tell Heine or Pilate about the Eye of the Crest.You don't have to tell me because you can't trust me.

However, I was able to talk to Nil's parents and they seem to have highly peculiar demon eyes, so I might be able to understand them more easily than I thought.

"It's time to come down."Get ready to move. ”

First of all, let's finish talking about Nil.It was enough to know that Nil's parents and demon eyes were not the kind of stories that could be heard everywhere.In addition to that, I knew who I had to talk to, so I hope you're all right.

Looking at the bell tower, Nil wrote the map and disappeared into the building.

A few minutes later, when Nil leaves the church, he goes back the way he came and comes towards us.

The soldiers look at Nil, but they don't do anything, they just drop off.

"...... Master."

It's called a little higher than the usual shiny Nil's voice, and it feels weird.At first, we acted together in this voice, but I miss it a lot.

Isn't it cute...?

When Nil came back, Heine and Pilte were swallowing raw saliva while being excited about the figure.After this thing is cleared up, I see two people asking Nil to become a child's version.

"How about a map?"

"Yes, the map of the vicinity can be filled."Unfortunately, I couldn't see the whole city, so only part of it... "

"No, that's enough for now." Thank you very much. "

A map handed over by Nil shows the surrounding buildings and roads in considerable detail.

When I put my hand on the child's head and stroked it with a pom-pom, Nil grinned sarcastically.

Huh?!

Heine and Pilté seem to have their hearts stopped for a moment, grabbing around their chests and frowning.

You can really be a child, can't you?

Surakutan is just observing unusual things.Apparently, they didn't have the Loricon class.

"Nil. I'm sorry about that right now, but put it back."Even if you go forward, it's too dangerous if you can't fight. "

Got it.

When I give Nil back her clothes, she hides in the shadows for a bit and comes back.

Take some magic medicine.

“Thank you.”

I've heard that the transformation into a child is very expensive, so if you don't recover your magic power before you act, you won't know what's going to happen here.

"Nil. What kind of building is this?"

"I thought it was probably a restaurant."It looks like there are a lot of shops built around here. ”

What about this one?

“It looks like a store that handles weapons and armor.”

While looking at the map Nil wrote, everyone checks the city's geography.

"Do you know where the soldiers are?"

“The main avenue was where residents and soldiers intersected.The number of inhabitants is small, but not zero.The narrow streets were shadowed and not very visible, but it looked like they had soldiers stationed at the required locations.

As you move, you're bound to run into soldiers somewhere. ”

"I can't just quietly crush my head..."

But, Ara! I don't think it would work if I jumped out.

"I'm not going to do such a dangerous imitation either."

However, it is said that it is time for us to pass through the gate, and the search should begin.There won't be time for Yasuo to think about the next move.

I'll have to look at the map, go through the places I care about, and check out the lice crushing...? "

It's going to be a pretty forceful move, isn't it?

"Considering what's out of town, it's also a battle against time."Even if it was a little strong, it would be necessary to push forward.

That said, we should fight over there, fight over here, and repeat, rather than rampaging around in a flash.I feel like I'm going to leave before the numbers come, fight somewhere else, and repeat my departure before the numbers gather again.Take advantage of a small number and use your mobility to compete. "

Yes.

"Roger."

I got it.

Got it.

After confirming everyone's movements, we'll each drop our weapons and head to one of the places we care about first.

One of the places I'm interested in is a large building built one behind the street where restaurants are located.

Large, in the sense of a site, is as tall as a single-story house.

The land area is 50 meters square, and it seems to be a large building that does not know what the building is.

“To get close to an unfamiliar building, you have to break through enemy defenses, cross the main street, and fight the soldiers around the building.”

With Heine and Pilte's enemies, I managed to get close without a fight, but I managed to get to a position that I couldn't avoid.

Suraitan, do you know where the enemy soldiers are?
