Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Episode 609 Accompanying
Well then, everybody, I want to congratulate you that everything is over safely this time.
If I say so and lift the glass lightly, the other four will lift it lightly.
And everyone mouths the glasses they prepared for me.
"It's delicious! It's a little sweet for me."
Mine feels refreshing!
"My taste is quite strong... no, it's a lewd taste." It's just my favorite crap. ”
"It looks like Nil and I are the same thing." It's sweet, but it also has a sour taste. ”
Everything seems to taste different, except for Nil and Pirte.
However, after understanding each taste, the taste is unique, and the impression is that it is only delicious.
Did you grasp your taste from your reaction when eating through the course? No... well, whatever!
That's a nice trick to finish!
“If you know a store like this, you won't be able to get into other stores.”
“Thank you so much for saying that.”
"No, no, no, no, no, no.
We had a great time. How much should I pay? "
"Oh, no. Take the money from everyone..."
“The best food, the best liquor, and the best hospitality. If you do what you have done so far, and you eat and drink so much and don't take money, you will lose the good store that you met at the corner.
I can't let you do that.
If you don't want it, I'll leave it on my own. You can do whatever you want. ”
Even when I was in Japan, I didn't have the right amount of money to go to such a fine dining restaurant.
However, I only know that it cost me a lot more money to entertain me than to go to a high-end restaurant normally.
I'll put the hundreds of thousands of dice I put out on the edge of the table.
Oh, that's not so much?!
"Think of it as an investment for when you come here again someday. At that time, please do it again."
"Ngh!!"
"Feast."
"We look forward to seeing you again!!"
"" "" "I'm waiting for you!!
The owner, Heckel, lowers his head deeply, followed by the clerk.
I'm not spending money on miscellaneous things.
I paid this store because I thought it was worth paying for.
Even if you have money, you don't pay a fortune unless you feel it's worth it. It was Heckel and the clerk... especially the female clerk of the Cat Club who really appreciated it.
I would be happy if she could come to this store some other time.
We'll thank you and go outside. [M]
"No... it was delicious!"
"It was really a great time..."
"It was delicious."
Oops.
"Hehehe..."
Did you get drunk all at once because you stood up, or did you leave the store and break the thread of tension... Nil leans back and flutters.
Your cheeks are dyed red and your eyes are wet, so it must be your usual Fufu Fu Nil.
”I'm... a little drunk, too...”
Piltee seems to be more conscious than Nil, but his feet seem to be wobbly and flustered.
Pilte-san, are you okay?
Surat Than supports Piltee, but there is a little distance from here to the mansion where we are sleeping, so it may be difficult to walk home.
For the time being, the store wanted to prepare a carriage for delivery, but I refused to walk home because I wanted to be in the wind at night. Until I left the store, I thought Nil and Pilte would be fine... but if this were the case, I might as well have called a carriage instead of refusing.
However, although there is a little distance, it is a walkable distance, and if it is not Chidori foot, it will be reached sooner than I think it will be difficult. I'm sorry to have to call the carriage now for that distance.....
"Come on, Nil. Get on your back."
"Hehe... Master..."
It's not safe to let them walk, so we'll go home with Nil on our backs.
When I bend my knees and say to Nil, Nil's arms stretch forward from the left and right sides of my neck, and it feels soft on my back... no. Don't even think about it. Ignorant!
Suratan!
Huh, yes?!
"I can't do Pilate anymore." I can't walk with this. I'm sure if you take one step, you'll fall down! It's a good idea to have Pilates on your back like Cynthia! No! That's all I can think of! Now! Now! "
Heine releases words with a super quick mouth. Machine guns are amazing...
Sura-tan, eh?! Eh?! Same while I'm saying, eh?! Eh?!
It feels a little too strong... but in fact, Piltee seemed a little bit tough, so it would be better if she could carry it on her back.
"Suratan, you look red." Did you get drunk? "
That's not true!
I'll tell you what, I'm enjoying the sight.
Heine lowers his guts pose behind the bright reddish slaton. Looks like you've completely locked on to Surakutan. Be happy, Surakutan.
While cheering in our hearts, we arrived on our way home, watching Pilates turn bright red.
After returning to the Mansion and letting Nil into bed, I went to call out to Heine.
"Heine. I'll keep an eye on the basement today, so Heine needs to sleep."
I'll see it too, right?
"No, no, what are you two talking about?" Sinya became ill and Heine-san was watching me yesterday, so it's my turn today. "
When Heine and I are on duty to look underground, Surakitan comes into the story.
"I can have Slime look at me while doing other things, and you two can sleep tight."
"No... but..."
"But I don't have a scarecrow." Especially since you're sick, Cynthia, I can't help it! Look, I'm asleep, I'm asleep! "
Sura Tan pushes me and Heine against their will.
"Hey, hey!"
Yes! Yes! Good night!
Saying you can't hear me, you're pushing me and Heine out. I was forced to take on the role of watchdog.
"Suratan... I wish I could force Piltee to do this."
"I guess that's a different story."
Besides, I don't think you need to be in such a hurry. "
"That's true... I can't do anything without my concern."
Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I'll leave you around today. ”
I feel that Heine is enjoying it a little, and it won't be a terrible thing, but there is also the pace of the people. Even if that happens a long time ago, I think it would be good to take it slowly. Above all... we, the surrenderers, in other words, players, have no chance of returning to the original world, and we don't know what to do.
Both I and Surakutan have decided to live in this world, but I don't even know if that's something we can decide on our own. I'm sure that's what Sura-Tan thinks.
That's why I think we have to be discreet with people we think are important.
When I turned to the bed thinking of such a thing, there was a figure of Nil sleeping with a cute sleeping breath.
The moonlight streaming in through the window reflects against Nil's silver hair and looks glittering.
After gently stroking the head of the sleeping Nil, I also fall asleep.
The next morning.
"I'm sorry for the trouble!"
You hear an alarm called wake up.
"Nil... good morning..."
Nil is apologizing in her sleepy head and sight.
Good morning...
Nil gets toasty when she drinks alcohol, but her memory doesn't fly away, so it always feels like this. You know I'm not going to be angry about that anymore... no, isn't that the problem?
"Don't worry about yesterday." You always say that, don't you? I had a good time, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
"But, but... like riding on the back of your mistress..."
Nil.
"Ugh... yes..."
It's Nil who's struggling, but it's time to get used to what to do when this happens.
When she stroked her head with a pom-pom, Nil looked at me with a shameful look.
"Can you make me a cup of tea so I can wake up?"
Yes, yes!
After that, when I asked for tea like this, I was told that I had to return the stigma, so I prepared the tea. When I was about it, Nil calmed down a little bit, and by the time I finished drinking it, Nil had returned to her original state.
This time, it seems that he was more concerned about the content that was carried on his back by me than usual, but there's no need to worry about that. It's cute compared to me being transported out of strength in battle with my enemies.
Then, somehow, when Nil returned to the usual routine.
Slatan, who was using slime to keep an eye on the basement, comes out of the room.
Ohaha.
"Good morning."
“Good morning.”
How was Effe?
"Looks like you're being quiet." As far as I can see, there's no riot. "
"I see. I hope you're a little cold-headed..."
Thank you so much. I'll change. ”
"Roger that. I think I'll continue my research a little bit."
"Don't push yourself too hard."
"I know. I'll get some sleep."
As for Surakutan, it may be something you do all night long, but it shouldn't be hard.
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise."
"... I see."
Even Surakutan only had alcohol in it, so I won't do any research until I'm forced to do it.
Worst of all, if you ask Heine and Pilte to sleep on it, we'll figure something out, and first we'll go underground.
The slime that came up misfitted the target and headed to the Ef. This time, Nil was accompanying me from the beginning.
"Looks like you've settled down."
You must have noticed that we're here, but Efraim doesn't go berserk. Even if I went berserk, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, so I guess I gave up.
……………
While being bit by a monkey, Efu gnaws at me.
"I don't want you to bite my tongue again." I'll start talking without taking it off. "
……………
"First of all, if you think about what we have to do with Rampard, you will know. You will have been watching us, so if you have a relationship with Rampard, you will have already noticed it."
Do you understand that? "
………………
Look away from me, Efraim, looking towards the wall. I'm not saying I'm not going to talk to you.
Are you just going to keep looking at the wall?
Nil throws words at the EF without hiding her angry feelings against the EF that doesn't respond to my words.
And when he heard the word, he shook his shoulder, and looked up toward Nil, and immediately bowed down. Obviously, it's not the same as when I'm talking, but it's a big reaction, Fu.
"...... Nil. Ask Nil a question."
I think Nil would rather ask questions than ask them myself, so I leave it to Nil to ask questions. After Nil nodded, he changed places with me, stood in front of the Effe, and opened his mouth.
"Do you understand that we have nothing to do with Rampard?"
Nil throws a question at Efe while holding back his anger a little.
……………
Effe looks a little lost, but slowly shakes his head vertically.
“Then I'm going to tell you what we are. Still, if you doubt us, the worst thing you can do is ask the two vampires to read your blood memories.
However, as for us, if we can, we don't want to harm you. "
Efe remained motionless on his back.
It's hard to tell we're not the enemy. I don't think we can be easily trusted, and I have no choice but to do what we can.
That said, Nil loosely tells us that we are trying to help the Demon King, not the enemy.
As far as we are concerned, it is necessary to carefully explore whether the Effesters are on our side, and perhaps it is too early to disclose all the information based on our speculation. As a result, it becomes a blurry story overall, but it will still convey that we are on the side of trying to help the Demon King.
While lying down, Effe listens to the story without saying anything and does not react loudly.
"... so we're moving to help the demon world."
………………
After hearing all the words, Ephraim did not react for a while, but slowly raised his face and looked up toward Nil.
………………
……………………
Nil looked directly into my eyes, but after a few seconds, she turned around and looked at me.
Master, do you mind if I take the monkey?
"... are you okay?"
Yes.
"... I see."
Nil seemed confident, and I trusted Nil here to get rid of Efraim's monkey.
"Please don't get mad or try to die."
For once, Nil told Efu so.....
"... yes."
Efe replied firmly.
You wanted to ask me something?
"... yes..."
... if, as I've just heard, the Demon King is being manipulated by someone else... can you solve that...? "
Effe looks a lot different than he did when he was talking to me.
“Answering that question is difficult at this stage.”
"That's... right."
As Heine said, we must act as hard as we can to keep our cards from anyone. Here, I can't easily reveal the pendant that Granny Arten gave me.
"Well... then, why are you sticking your head in the demon tribe...?"
"That's right... I guess that's the promise..."
Amazoness, the werewolf hollow, Granny Artem... we've already promised to help save the demon world with thousands of people.
If you look at it more broadly, it includes what it means to be in the service of a big alliance, and it involves a lot more people.
It feels impossible to express it in one word because it is a promise, but it is not a lie.
"Promise..."
Yes.
………………
I don't know what's going on in the Effe's head, but... I don't think I'm going to suddenly rampage.
"I know you can't trust us that easily, but we can only do our best to make you trust us."
"... if that story is true... you'll have no problem accompanying me... right?"
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Indeed, I understand that it is impossible to trust us with words alone. If I can show you the evidence, but if I can't do it, it's just words.
And if Effe can match our desire to help the Demon King, then it would be more natural to accompany him. It was the same in the demon world.
But... it's true that the Father trusts us and wants to team up with the Black Dog, but we haven't been able to determine if the Black Dog is really an enemy. In other words, as we move from here to the demon realm, we will act together with those who may be enemies.
To be honest, it was quite tough to continue to the demon realm under such tense circumstances that I couldn't sleep at night. Even though I lost one arm, it was the black dog.
The Efe escaped during the camp, and it's not funny that everyone is in Buddha.
If you multiply the risk and return of taking an Effe by the balance, the risk is heavier. Worst of all, you can ask Heine and Pilate to read your memories...
I look back and shake my head to Nil's side.
Nil tries to tell them it's impossible, but before that, Efu looks me in the eye and keeps talking.
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you keep me in custody." If this story is true, then my life is at stake.
If we want to know if you're really on our side, we'll accept the Death Pact. "
The Death Pact, which is an advanced dark magic, is a magic that takes the life of the opponent if they make a promise with each other and break it.
Since the content of the promise is decided by the parties, it is possible to conclude a contract under conditions that are unfavorable to one of them if they think about doing it.
For example... if you promise not to die, dying will be a breach of contract, and you will take the life of that person, but... because they are already dead, it may be a contract that has nothing to do with them in the first place.
In other words, if you get a contract that's in our favor, you want to come along and observe us.
For Effe, what Nil said this time was not very negligible, but a word to confirm whether it was true or not, and to think about what would have happened if it had been true.
The Demon King must be the highest-priority among the Effects.
"Master."
Nil looks me in the eye and asks me to accompany her.
If Nil feels that she should do that, it might be a good place to talk.
"... All right, but I'll make sure you get the safety margin."
“I know.”
When I give permission, Nil nods.
There are several other ways to disable the Efe besides the Death Covenant, and if you use it well, you won't be in danger if you let them come along.
I think the movement of the other black dogs is likely to lead to trouble... but I decided to take the risk and set my stomach down.
