Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"As I said earlier, we're acting outside the demon world, so we really don't know anything about Rampard."

It's just... Rampard's hands are everywhere. We were chasing Rampard, but it was a gathering of people who clashed with the Demon King. That's all I really know. ”

"... so? What is the current situation in the demon world?"

"Oh... what are you going to do when you hear that...?"

"It's none of your business, is it?"

…………………

After all, when it comes to the story involving the demons, it doesn't seem to break their mouths so easily.

If you give us information here, and the demon world is tormented, you will die as an Eff. As a result, no matter what kind of torture I'm subjected to, I'm determined never to speak. I thought I might be able to find out from the flow, but it seemed to me that my thoughts were sweet on the stone.

Perhaps now, within the Effs, we are determined to prepare ourselves for further torture.

If the Effesters decide never to divulge information that would be detrimental to the Demon King or the Demon Clan, the conversation will end. You will never open your mouth again.

Before that happens, I'm going to cut my last hand.

Nil!

Yes!

When I call from the basement, Nil comes down from the top.

"Ngh!?!!"

After hearing Nil's voice, the Effe tightens his body and is wolfing... no, it seems better to say that he is nervous.

Even though I was tortured, I was still upset knowing that I was watching Effe, who had decided what to talk about calmly.

So far, the content of what I've heard from Effe is all the content that is not so important in the current situation. It is only a question to reduce resistance to talking with me, and they are cloth stones to extract the necessary information from the upset FF.

In other words, from here, this is the most important part of the interrogation of the Ef.

"Ah....."

When Nil reaches behind me diagonally, Effe looks away immediately after seeing Nil's face for a moment.

It can't be said that it is unlikely to be an act, but it is quite unlikely to be because it was upset even during the battle.

The question is... why are you upset?

For the Effs, Nil is the target of murder, the target.

As a black dog, trained as an assassin squad, it shouldn't happen that you get upset when you see a target for no apparent reason.

There is no doubt that Nil will be so upset that he can attack without any mercy to the target and without fear.

But it matters what reason it is.

If you make a mistake in your choice here, it is highly likely that you will not be able to extract information from the FF. We must proceed with caution.

Me and Nil have figured out some of the possibilities based on that.

As a hint, not Nil himself, but looking at Nil's demonic eye, exactly the Eye of the Seal, the Effe was upset.

In other words, about Nil's black foggy-looking coat of arms, Efraim knew something that would have upset her.

There's not much we know about Nil's demonic eye...

First of all, the effect is to produce something like a black fog, and the black fog has a terrible effect of erasing everything that touches it.

And anyway, the fuel efficiency is poor, and it consumes a lot of magic power.

This is the effect of Nil's sigil eye itself.

After that, it might be different from the emblem eye, but I knew that Nil had the effect of using black fog when transforming and automatically blocking it.

As for Automatic Defense, now Nil's Elemental Defense is higher and I'm not using it, but it should have been quite useful when I was alive as a child. Thanks to this, Nil has no stamp to which he can be attached a slave.

In addition to these, the sigil with an asterisk encircled in a circle is an object found in temples that worship a god called Freuilstore, which is found on the continent. And you know that the demon tribe is mainly chanting Freuilstore.

Now, the possible reasons that upset Efu.....

One thing.

Knowing the strength of the sigil's eyes, he despaired and gave up attacking.

Well… this feels weak and unlikely as a reason to stop a black dog who is not afraid of death.

Two.

For a demon tribe that worships a god named Freuilstore, those with their emblem and eyes are treated like priests, and it is thought that attacking itself is blasphemy to God.

I think this is more likely than not.

Heine and Pilate were demons, and their faith in Freuilstore was very strong.

When I met them, I swore to Master Freudstore... and I saw him praying for Freudstore several times.

I asked the two of them if the entire demon race was like that, but they replied that most of them had the same faith.

But even the assassin Black Dog doesn't seem to know if he's a true believer.

Even the two of them who lived in the demon world did not know that the Black Dog was a Dark Elf, so it seemed that they could not make a decision because they were all mysterious troops.

And three.

For the black dog, Nil's sigil eye itself had a completely different meaning, which meant that it stopped Efraim's attacking hand.

This third reason is as likely as the second one.

In short, the information we don't have is hidden, and that's the reason... but if the ruthless black dog gets upset just because he sees it, there aren't many possible causes.

However, there are still several possible reasons, and it is difficult to narrow them down to one.

When Nil and I thought about it and chose to abandon it, the three reasons remained...

Even if the first is still excluded, the second and third reasons will change the direction of the interrogation from here.

For example, for the second reason, if you use Freud's story as an axis and say Nil as the Freud's messenger or something appropriate, you can properly listen to the story.

However, I thought it was the second reason, but if it was the third reason, what if Freuilstore had nothing to do with it...?

Nil is the messenger of Freuilstore! What did he say to you as an EF? Getting into a state.

That's the same if you think it's the third reason, and it's really the second reason.

Although it is difficult to come here and become a gambler, it is not completely a five-minute or five-minute gambler.

Listening to the story of the Efe I heard earlier, the Dark Elves felt quite grateful to the Demon King. It's not surprising that the ancestors were taught that it was the demon king who gave birth to them if they were the opponents who saved the race from extinction.

Especially if there are people of long-lived race who have actually been saved by the ancestral demon king, you must feel a strong sense of grace even if you feel that grace on your skin.

Those who were raised by such people should also be quite loyal to the Demon King. Even when I heard from the Effe, I had a glimpse of their loyalty to the Demon King, and I'm sure that's true.

And for black dogs living in the world of shadows, the belief in Freuilstore may sometimes get in the way.

Assassination is a world of deceit, deception, and murder. Always next to death, there is a possibility that judgment will be dull if something other than the Demon King's order can be trusted. The second reason is the opposite, but if I swear allegiance to the Demon King as a Dark Elf, I will forsake my faith.

It may be easy to say that because I grew up in Japan, where there are many people who do not have a strong faith.

If you think about it this way, the third reason is more probable when you look at the story and reaction of the EF so far.

And if this hypothesis is correct, if the ef is so upset, it must be about the demon king. In other words... I could guess that Nil's sigil eyes were in some way related to the Demon King. I don't even know how it's related, and I can't deny that it's completely irrelevant, but if we proceed with the interrogation at that line, maybe we can get some information...

I'll be careful not to let the Effe hear me, and I'll tell Nil about it and tell her the direction of the interrogation.

Well, even though it's not a 50/50 bet, it doesn't change that it's a gamble in the end, and if you make a mistake here, you might get a big time loss. If you don't interrogate me, that amount of time will pass and I'll start the interrogation for a third reason.

You look very restless, don't you?

"Ngh..."

In response to his being upset, the undeniable Effe distorted his expression.

If you want to talk to yourself, will you listen to me?

"Hey, what are you doing?" There's nothing I can tell you. "

The tone didn't change until just now, but there was no momentum in my feelings and my hips seemed to be pulling back.

“Well, then I'll have you answer the question.”

………………

He doesn't say anything, he doesn't even look me in the eye, but he's afraid of my questions.

"If you don't talk about the demon world, let me tell you something else."

First of all, it's about Nil's sigil eye. "

"Ngh..."

Efe responds to the word "sigil eye."

During the battle between Effe and us, it wasn't a coincidence that Nil used the sigil eye, but it must have been told to Effe that we had knowledge about the Magic Eye.

However, we have no choice but to imagine how far we know about Nil's sigil eyes.

If you can make me think that you know everything even though you know almost nothing, you can say that the situation is the best. I don't think they're that sweet...

"There's nothing to talk about."

“You're lying.”

I'll stop him before his words are over.

"You guys should know."

Since you're living on the back of the demon world, you should know more about the demon eyes, the sigil eyes, and the demon king as well. "

………………

In particular, this sigil eye is... a special sigil eye, isn't it?

"Huh?!"

When Heine and Pilte saw the effect of Nil's magic eye, they said they had never seen anything like it. In other words, Nilu's sigil eye shouldn't be the kind of demon eye he sees often.

Especially for the Demon King.

What happened?!

It was quite a bet here, but it pushed through the prediction that it was related to the demon king and put a finger on the foe.

"This!!"

Gasha!!

As soon as he heard me, Efu stretched out his right arm to attack me.

However, naturally, in a situation of restraint, it can barely move, and the chains make a noise, stopping the movement of the foe.

Who the hell are you guys?!

“I'm the one asking the questions.”

"... No way!? Are you the Rampards?!"

Efu, who snaps his chains.

It was good to see that the Eye of the Crest was definitely related to the Demon King. Besides, Nil's sigil-eye relationship with the Demon King seemed to be concealed because it was unknown to the public.

If it hadn't been hidden, it wouldn't have been upsetting, and there shouldn't have been any suspicion of a connection with Rampard.

And the other thing I found out was that Rampard and Efraim's black dogs were in a hostile relationship, and there was no doubt about that.

When I sort out the information I have received so far about the demons, especially the demon king...

First of all, the Demon King and the Demon Princess were both manipulated by someone, and that was probably a plan by Lampard, the anti-magic king organization. Those who carried out the plan were close to the demon king in status, and they drove Granny Artem out of the demon realm. However, judging that it was dangerous to just drive him away, he immediately sent a black dog to kill him.

However, Granny Arten was better at it, and she ran away to Chuko so that she could not find it from the black dogs or from the vampire tribe of Heine.

From there on, you know.

The important thing here is that our aim is to rescue the Demon King and the Demon Queen.

Why is it important... if our purpose and the purpose of the black dog coincide, they will no longer be enemies.

The Black Dogs have been ordered by the Devil King to search for and kill Granny Arten, and also to kill Nil.

The demon king who issued this order has already been manipulated by someone, and it is not an order based on normal judgment. I can understand this from the story of Granny Arten and the statue of a demon king I've heard so far.

However, as a black dog, no matter what demon king, if it was an order, it would be moving until it obeyed...

Simply put, the Black Dogs are also being manipulated by someone who controls the Demon King.

However, I could not abandon the possibility that they were joining hands with Rampard and trying to kill us with the will of the black dogs, and I didn't think that our words would reach the black dog who was trying to kill us without answering questions, just thinking about fulfilling the orders of the demon king.

We're trying to help the Demon King! I don't think the black dog would trust that word, and I would definitely not believe it if it were in the opposite position.

But earlier, the Effe thought they were Rampard's people and tried to attack me. In other words, we recognize Lampard as an enemy, and it is difficult to think that we are working together.

"Grrr! Then!......?!"

Did you try to blow yourself up?

I showed the little magic stone circle to the Effe who tried to do something.

That's it!

"It was a magic stone implanted in your body."

I'm sorry, but I had to remove it. "

It's hard to think that the black dog didn't prepare anything just because he got caught. While I and the Effe fainted, Nil carefully examined the Effe's body.

It seemed that the magic stone formation was covered with stone and embedded in the body, but Nilu and the others found it and took it out, and then melted the stone with slime to disable the magic stone formation.

The magic stone formations were red in color and firebombs in shape. Firebombs are basic fire magic, but they are dangerous if activated at close range because of their explosive properties. Perhaps it's a measure for such a time... but I'm still not prepared.

"Shit! Ughhh!!"

Bee, bee, bee, bee!

Knowing that he had taken out the Magic Stone Formation, the Effe tried to bite his own tongue.

Seeing that, I immediately activated the thunder magic I had prepared and released it towards the Eff.

Primary Lightning Magic, Paralyze.

It's one of the lightning magics with low killing power, and it's only powerful enough to convulse the opponent. Low-rank monster hunting magic… like that.

After being shot, the muscles in his body cramped due to lightning, and he could not naturally bite his tongue. I look at the gap and let the Effe bite the monkey.

Now I can't kill myself.

"Damn... you're doing too well..."

Hmmm!

Although Paralyzes may be less deadly, they are quite powerful, but Effe doesn't lose consciousness, instead, he starts rampaging to do something about it.

"Calm down. We're not Rampard hands."

I don't think you can believe me, but I have no choice but to say so, so I can't help but hold my shoulders so that the Ef does not get rampant, and say that it has nothing to do with Lampard.

"Nghhhh!!"

"Well... I can't believe it. But it's true.

We've done a lot to find out where you stand, but you're trying to kill us too, so it's you and me. "

Hoo! Hoo!

A murderous intent that seems to kill people with just one gaze. You're saying you can't trust us at all.

However, if we were in the hands of Lampard, we would use the Demon King and the Demon Queen in our hands, even without doing such a tricky thing. I'm sure of it, and I don't have any trouble with it. I don't dare to interrogate a black dog.

Thinking about it a little bit, I think you'll understand, but the current Eff was in a state of excitement. It doesn't make sense when I say it.

"If you think about it, at least you know we're not Rampard's hands."

That said... I don't think we're in a position to talk right now. Think about it. ”

I'm getting away from the Effe.

"Nghhh!"

Gah! Gah!

Effe who rings the chains over and over again.

You think you've fallen into Rampard's hands. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk a little more calmly...

"Nil. Let's go back up once."

Yes.

When Nil was pulled out at that timing, I saw the Ef's reaction again, and I'm sure I know something. The key would be Nil's sigil eye.

The Black Dogs were following the Demon King's instructions, but only because it was the Demon King's orders. They didn't know that Rampard was involved and that the Demon King and the Demon Queen were being manipulated.

If the Effe believed it, the Black Dog would not obey the order of the Devil King, but would move to help the Devil King and the Devil Queen.

When he assumed that we were the hands of Lampard, Efraim was unwilling to choose death. It was because I thought that the information that my existence possessed would be disadvantageous to the Demon King. If we knew that we were more favorable to the Demon King, we could fight together.

If that happens, Black Dogs, including Effe, will no longer be enemies, so there's no need to keep them in captivity like this.

Therefore, from here on, rather than torturing us to break our mouths, it is desirable to have a conversation that will allow us to know where we stand.
