Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Isn't it better to just cross the outer wall and head straight to where the Demon King is?

“It's not that simple. According to Cynthia-san, when you entered the demon world, you only went to the Werewolf City, right?"

"Yeah. It was a city called Donahaka."

"Located at the easternmost point of the demon world, Donahaka is one of the cities where werewolves predominate. There's a place like a plain around here, and there are a couple of cities where werewolves dominate. The biggest city at the heart of it is Donahaka. Since the werewolves also serve as gatekeepers, it is easy for the werewolves to fight when something happens."

In other words, for each region, each race is easy to live in and easy to fight in?

"That's right. The werewolves are fast legged and specialize in white soldiers, so they are surrounded by plains." The vampire race is a darkness lover, so it's a place where the sun doesn't shine much. ”

Was the City of the Vampires… Caesarn?

“Yes. The werewolf city is divided into several, but the vampire city is a big one.”

"Rather than assigning races to a city, you're dividing the area into races and using the area as you please..."

As Surakten put it, it seems that the idea of a city is better than the idea of a state in the United States.

"That's right. There are many different races in the demon world, so there are many regions." In order to get to Behenares, where the Demon King's Castle is, you have to leave a number of such areas.

Of course, some of these areas are not easy to get through, and some areas need to be passed through. "

“There are some stronger demon races in the area that we have to go through, so just going to Behenares can be a very difficult journey.”

Me and Surakutan are not demons, but foreigners. In appearance, it's a human race. Like vampires and witches, I think it's easiest to go through them in the guise of being close to a human race, but I don't think it's that easy to trick the demons.

If you think about it, the "Castle of the Demon King" is a half-year event. Considering that it could be an event that could take so long, I could expect that it would not be so easy to rescue the Demon King. Leaving the area inhabited by various races, we reach the city of Behenares, where the demon king would be. Having done so far, I can finally get to the starting line. From there, I had to go to the Demon King, lift the magic, and destroy the enemy.

"It's a distracting story..."

"I wish we had had some sort of problem with Alice-sama..."

"The opponent is the Demon King, the culmination of the Demon Clan." If you move poorly, everything will be wet instead of us. "

“Yes. I'm sure you'll help me out if you keep it a secret...”

"I guess we'll have to push ourselves..."

That's the way it is.

"Almost got it."

The entrance is from the easternmost city, the district where Donahaka is located. Our people should be waiting for us. "

"Friends...?"

"I didn't tell Effe."

When we first entered the Demon Realm, there were people with us. It's all Amazoness. ”

“No, I know that. The first time we heard about you was when we came to the demon world with Amazoness and the others.

However, Amazones has caused a lot of problems and is now said to be a fallen nobleman. It looks like you're hiding, but when you act together, you stand out? "

"Even so, it's a pretty big difference whether or not we can use Amazoness to help us. Besides, I think that the fallen nobility is somebody's plan."

"... I was told that by the time the order to chase Arten-Arabor was issued, the rumors about Amazonas would have started to spread."

Amazoness is the strongest demon race in melee. As an enemy, I naturally wanted to cut down the power of Amazoness... What do you mean you're manipulated from what to what? ”

"I think it's better to think about that and move."

If so, is there a city where we can enter without any problems? "

"I see... to be clear, I don't know who's joining Rampard, which species is in danger, and how far we're going to get."

"It's dangerous to go through any area. It's better to think of them all as enemies.”

"That's right..."

I knew it, but when I actually heard it, I wanted to cry...

“But I can assure you that only the Vampire City of Caesarren is safe.”

The vampire race is a heretic among the demons.

"Watch your mouth."

"It's true."

Heine and Efe squinted at each other. They don't seem to like each other very much.

The vampire tribe had a past that was originally called a monster, so I was probably sensitive to such words, especially those spoken by the demon tribe.

"Calm down, we're at least working together for the same purpose." It's a dream to reach the Demon King even if you're arguing here. "

“I know. I didn't try to sell the fight.”

"What mouth are you talking about?"

Heine.

”Hmph!”

Heine seems angry. For a vampire tribe, being treated as a heretic would be an unbearable discrimination. But for now, I want you to keep it down.

"In fact, the ability to read vampire memories is a powerful weapon that no other demon race has." And the power relationship is a perfect triangle. ”

The Vampire Clan, with Alice as its culmination, was determined by the strength of their blood. Combined with the power of being able to read memories, it can also be said to be a distinctive race that is not found in other races.

"If there is any person who is behaving suspiciously, if he sucks his blood, there is no need to interrogate him." There's no way you can tell a lie to someone like that.

Besides, it's a race with a perfect triangular composition, so as long as the vertices are not betrayed, the likelihood of betrayal by those below is almost zero. ”

Alice-sama betrayed you, didn't she?

"Heine-san, calm down."

"I-I get it..."

Suratan called Heine and finally calmed her down.

“We're just talking about the possibilities, not betraying them. And I don't think he's going to betray me.”

That means you can think of the Vampire City as safe, right?

“That's right, it's definitely safe to begin with.”

"That's fine, but... if you pick a word, the foe won't have to piss off Heine either." Think about it a little bit more and say your words. ”

"Hmph..."

"Ef."

"... Okay. Be careful."

The Dark Elves are also a species that was once in danger of extinction, and I feel like I can get along with the Vampire race, but I don't seem to like the Vampire race very much.

However, from the place where I called Alice "that way", I can see that I recognize Alice as my superior. This neighborhood must be a complicated relationship.

However, I want you to act without it, more than just acting with us. Heine would be annoyed if the Effe was in a fight... I hope he gets along well with me...

"I really beg you, I don't want to fight amongst my people."

And Eph and Heine turned to their sides, lest they should look one another in the eye. I feel compassionate about the future...

First of all, that's all we need to talk about. Even if we discuss it here, if we don't know the movement of the other party, there will be no countermeasures.

What is decided now is to enter the demon world from the east and aim for the center. The only safe place to do so was in Caesarhen, home to the Vampire Clan.

We should decide where and how to go after we meet with Amazoness and the Hollows.

It is difficult for the current information alone to decide more than that, and that is the end of the day.

The next day.

After breakfast, Heine and Pilte start to prepare as soon as possible.

Shall I come with you?

Sura-Tan, are you two worried? I've heard that. I don't think I'm going to listen to you, but I don't feel comfortable going to see Tetra alone.

“It's okay. I'm just going to talk, so there's nothing to worry about.”

Is that so?

"I'm glad you're worried, but I'm really fine." I'll take care of the Pilates. "

Pilte was talking to Efe last night, but his heart was not here. I guess I've been thinking about Tetra and Issus and Sasana.

"Talk to me until you're convinced." You don't have to worry about us. "

"Yes. Thank you."

Heine leaves the lodge with Pilate, who is slightly above the sky.

"It would be nice if we could have a satisfactory discussion."

That's right.

I can't calm down!

"Hurry up?!"

We are waiting for Heine and Pilate while we calm down the already restless Suraitan.

According to the results, Heine and Pilte came back together before noon. If it is time, then about three hours will be the calculation we were discussing.

The two of you who have returned will first tell us the story of that time, and on top of that, they have something to ask.

I was afraid to listen to them, and they let me talk to Tetra.

First, the two of them went to the location I told them about and searched for Tetra, but they were able to find her much earlier than expected.

"Ah......"

As they walked in search of Tetra, they heard such a voice coming from the side road next to them.

"... it's been a long time."

"Ngh!!"

When Heine called out, Tetra dropped her knees to the ground on the spot, putting her hands together and hanging her head.

"Hey, hey!?"

As for Tetra, it would be because the act of lowering one's head to two people is a priority above all, but if people suddenly do such a thing on a normal road, it will stand out. That's not good enough, so Heine took Tetra and headed to a less crowded place. With the five senses of the Vampire Clan, we immediately know which part of the world is sparsely populated.

And when there were three of them in the absence of men, and they had finally calmed down and began to speak, Tetra dropped her knees to the ground, and her head hung down.

But neither Heine nor Pirte tried to stop it.

Why are you doing this?

"Ngh..."

I just want to apologize to both of you, Tetra. Even though Heine should know that well, she dares to listen with a strong voice.

“Say something.”

Of course, Pilate did too.

"I... I..."

……………

"Just... do as you two wish..."

"Ugh!"

Heine stops Pilate's emotions from exploding. But even though Tetra might have been killed, she doesn't react.

"You followed us here to get killed."

"... if you two wish to do so, I will kill myself."

That's what I pulled out: a knife.

"That's..."

Heine and Pilte were familiar with the knife.

It was the knife that Issus had when Tetra stabbed him.

"You've always had that knife."

"... yes. What I did, after apologizing with my mouth, is not acceptable." I know that very well. ”

Tetra doesn't tremble, she just turns her head towards herself.

Do you think dying will be a sacrifice?

"No... if dying would be atonement, I would have pierced my own throat with this knife a long time ago."

But it's just an escape. So... just do as you two want... "

"You're so selfish."

"Ah....."

“I can't believe you're trying to make it easier for us to get acquitted.”

"OH!! I didn 'T mean TO DO that!"

"Even if I didn't mean to, that's what happens."

"Ah....."

Heine's probably right.

But what should Tetra do then?

Do I have to die? Do I have to live in misery?

I don't think there's an answer. Above all, I don't know what to do with Heine and Pilate.

I know that the death of a loved one is not so easy to accept.

Unlike me, if the death of someone important was caused by a woman named Tetra, not by an accident, there's no way I can forgive her.

It probably won't change whether Tetra is dead or alive in pain.

"I'm... I'm..."

………………

"Excuse me... I'm sorry! I'm... I'm irretrievable!" I'm so sorry! "

Tetra, who no longer knew what to do, wept and wept, crying like a child and apologizing over and over.

If they told him to die, Tetra wouldn't hesitate to stick the tip of the knife in her throat. I knew that, too, Heine and Pilate.

With such readiness, Tetra followed Heine and Pilte. Perhaps, with Heine's and Pilate's orders, Tetra would have accepted whatever that was. Even if I told her to live as a slave, she would have shackled herself to her neck without getting lost.

But Heine told me it wasn't what they wanted.

I don't know what to do anymore, and Tetra can only say it over and over again, saying she's sorry.

"You... what are you going to do when you cry?!" We're the ones who want to cry!! "

With tears, Pilte was furious towards Tetra.

"Those two were trying to protect you by believing in you!!" You're... you're...!! "

Bakiki!

* giggle *

Pilate beats Tetra, and Tetra falls to the ground.

Still, Tetra wakes up, pulls her hands together, and hangs her head in tears.

It must have been a good sight to see why Heine didn't take Surakutan with her.

Pilte beat Tetra once, but then he just bowed down and wept. I heard you didn't hit me twice.

Pilte also knows that Tetra was one of the victims and that she wasn't the one responsible. That's why I realized that if I kept hitting her, it wouldn't solve it, it was just vain.

There was so much emotion that nothing could be done, and Pilte could only digest it by shedding tears. I think the result was the situation.

Then, although Tetra and Pilte were in a state of sobbing, they calmed down for a while and finally started talking.

What kind of judgment Heine and Pilte make on Tetra would be after they talked, so they listened to Tetra's story.

It seems that I have heard various things about how I have lived and how I feel.

The story we've heard is just a few, and when we hear it in detail, it seems that Tetra has had a pretty bad life. At birth, it seemed like a nobleman had a decent life, but it seemed to be a hell of a life otherwise. I didn't ask the details, but since I was alone, it seems that I have been living a worse life.

The content would have made me want to cover my ears. If women are trying to live alone and there is no home to live in, I can roughly imagine what kind of life they will have. In a sense, it was a miracle that Tempest lived without becoming a slave.

I've lived in such a place all my life, I'm sure my body and mind are in ruins. Still, she killed her fears and stood up to them so they wouldn't hurt us. At that time, I didn't know we were related to Heine. I mean, whatever the opponent, she would have stretched herself out and tried to help.

When the two finished listening to Tetra, the first thing they said was Pilate.

"Hah... I didn't want to hear it because I thought it would be like this..."

"Fufufu."



Heine laughed when she heard Pilate's words, and Tetra smiled questioningly.

When both Heine and Pilte listen to Tetra, they still have a place of sympathy. Piltee is a kind personality in the first place, so if you listen to the women who have managed to live in pain, it's only natural to feel sympathy.

When Tetra broke up with Heine and the others, she lost her family and was alone. If that Tetra is still alive, I can generally imagine what kind of life it is. If you hear that, Pilate won't be angry when he gets angry. I didn't want to hear it because I knew it.

"...... If you're still in pain and still want to make amends for the two of you who died, then there's nothing more I can say."

"W-What?! What did I do?"

"It's okay."

"Huh?!"

It was Heine who blocked Tetra's words.

"Tetra has been fooled, too." So, I can't say I forgive you... yet, but this story is over. "

"Ngh!!"

"If you keep making amends to those two, we won't blame you." So you don't have to bow your head to us anymore... "

”I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...”

Tetra's tears overflowed again when she heard Heine and Pirte's words.

I'm not forgiven. Nevertheless, the words of the two of them must have stabbed deeply and deeply into Tetra.

"... ahhhh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

After hearing their words, Tetra cried and apologized like a child.
