Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.
Chapter 45 Request for Rescue
"Can the transformation be solved at any time?
"You can always solve it, but you'll need a lot of magic to transform again. Because it's dark magic. Maintenance also requires magic, so we are always consuming magic little by little.
"Really… what was the black moya when Nil stopped the canary magic?
"That's the protective magic my parents put on me.
"Protective magic that automatically counterattacks when touched with harm?
"Yes, that black moya is who it is. I think it was a kind of dark magic that the demons are good at... I apologize for the vague memory..."
"No, it was more than ten years ago. All you have to do is tell me as much as you can.
"I see.
This defensive magic also consumes my magic little by little. If the opponent's attack is weak, an invisible amount of Moya will be generated to counterattack, but if it is as strong as this attack, it will consume the equivalent magic to counterattack.
"I see. It's amazing magic… but it doesn't seem to have any holes.
"That's right. I can't invalidate any more attacks than my magic, and I can't do anything if they act like I can't fight back.
"Ranged attack from a place where the magic doesn't reach?
"Others, such as catching me without food or water...
"Is that even possible... that? But when Nil passed out, he couldn't be transformed, could he? You're out of magic, aren't you?
"It holds a little magic in the corner so that even if you pass out with no magic, you won't be able to transform right away.
"Can you do that?!
"Yes, but it's really small, so if you use more magic from there, the transformation will be solved.
"That's quite a handy magic..."
"If you try to change the size of your body, you'll need a lot of magic, but if you just change it slightly, you won't use that much magic. However, it can't be too far apart.
"I think it's a long way off when my body size changes..."
"I don't know much about the constraints around here either... but in my case, I think they are not far apart because they have transformed into a past self.
What I'm talking about here is gender and appearance.
"I mean, you can't change your gender or look like someone else at all?
"Yes, you can change your appearance a little, but only a few.
"You mean you can't transform your skeleton...? Is it possible to read the past from the skeleton...?
"Honestly, I don't even know..."
"I know you can do that. Keep it in mind.
Just stay like a kid for a while, at least.
"... did you hate this look...?
"No, no, no! That's not true! What do you want me to say?
"Fufufu, thank goodness..."
"If adult Nil shows up all of a sudden, the penitentiaries will freak out, right? I can't explain it either.
"Ah... that's right.
"Sometimes it falls out. Nil."
"But I'm sorry..."
"I'm not angry, so I'm fine.
Besides, when it comes to beautiful girls and beauties, they really stand out.
"Beautiful girl... beautiful girl? Am I?
"I think I'm seriously wondering about that face... but now I'm talking about transformation rather than that.
You might not know it's not a man around here, but a pretty girl is more impressive than a pretty girl.
"I don't know... I see. All right, that's it.
When black moya appears around the nil, it changes to its usual size and there are no horns and no tails.
It's kind of a shame... no! I don't think so! Mm-hmm.
"Is this okay?
"Ah, ah. That's good. Get dressed.
"... yes.
Looking at Nil after wearing his clothes, finally as usual... it never happened. Nil in the demonic state comes to mind. It was so beautiful. Besides, I saw a strange figure...
I don't know how to deal with you anymore...
"Master?
"Huh? Oh. Nothing.
I understand about the demons and Nil. Of course I won't tell anyone, but be careful not to let anyone know about Nil.
"Yes."
"I seem to have hidden that dark magic can be used, but from now on, don't worry about it. Because you can use dark magic, I'm not sure I'm a demon. If I deny it, I'll do anything.
"I see.
"As for the demons... there's no bias, and I wish there was a connection..."
"I'm sorry... that's all I remember... about the details and the current situation..."
"More than ten years ago, I can't help but remember. They caught the Knights of the Holy Knights when they started moving. Of course you don't know the current situation.
I don't know much about the demons, but I'll worry about it.
"Thank you very much.
"I see. Is it really because Nil was seventeen years old?
"I'm sorry I kept quiet.
"I told you I was glad you talked to me. Don't apologize anymore.
"... yes. Thank you!
"Ahh... well, it's time to go back!
"Ah, you know!
"Can I just have one more thing before I go back?
"Is there anything else?
"Um... I'd like your husband to take this..."
A small triangular black object is riding on Nil's small hand.
"Is this... a horn?
"Yes, the horns of the demons grow and change at the age of ten.
"It's like a nipple.
"Um... I'd like you to take one of these..."
"I don't mind...."
Receiving the cute corners and looking closely, there are small holes in the edges.
"Does it mean anything to you?
"No, it doesn't make any sense. It's like being ready to say that I'm a jerk... Think of it as a knight giving his sword to the king.
"You're quite ready?!
"I'm already ready. It's just the thing that shaped it...
Nil's face is serious. I am not prepared to disintegrate.
"... okay. I'll take care of it.
"Thank you very much.
The hole in the corner is just right, and I'll put it through the necklace string that Sylvie and Puka gave me and keep it together.
"Don't lose it.
"Wow, give me a string too..."
"Ah, I see. Does Nil have the other one in the corner?
I'll take the same strings out of the inventory, make the same necklace and hang them.
"What do you think?
"Yes! Thank you!
Nil replies with a full smile.
Back.
Yes!
Look back just once before you leave and see the beautiful scenery. I felt that this view would be unforgettable in many ways.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
From the day after Nil found out that he was a demon, Nil and I worked hard on creating items in the workshop.
Three days passed when most of the mold and mushrooms obtained at Igarte were processed for ease of use.
"This will be fine first..."
"Well, it's finally over..."
"There were too many of them to do it alone. But now that we have a range of fights, there will be a reward for the hard work.
"That's right. I made a lot of useful things.
Bang!
"Mr. Sinya! Nil!"
"Huh?! That's why I'm telling you to knock.
"What's wrong with you?
"Daniel and Papill are on their way!
"So soon...? You all right? You all right?
"Yeah! Sure! Come on!
"What?! Sister?!
Even so, Nil is abducted by Penetta.
Master!
As he followed Nil's screams, he reached the room where Penetta was always working.
"Let's go in.
Gacha...
Pennette with a full smile and Danil and Papill standing with their spine stretched out on their nervous faces before opening the door.
"Both of you... in that outfit..."
Unlike their rough outfits, they are wearing shiny light green clothes.
"My SS apprentice!
"I don't know. That's the title again.
"They wanted to be soldiers with the Imperial Castle, so they asked me to incorporate them into the guards! That's why I wanted you to join the SS anyway..."
"There will be rebellions and complaints from many places about the boulder.
"It's weird that I'm saying it's good...
"It's Penetta that's weird.
"That's a joke, but I want someone I can trust to serve in the SS.
That's why I decided to get them to do their best in the form of apprenticeships until they were strong as soldiers and SS! I think it's a good idea!
"... you've created a new title of your own... well, the king of the clan is a pennette, so it's fine...
More importantly, Danil. Papill, are you two okay with that?
"I tried to say no at first..."
"Penetta...."
"Besides, if you're a soldier, you're a guard, you're a SS apprentice, right? And you both agreed.
"Either way, if you're aiming for the SS, I was convinced that even with the strong wind, you should take the shortest route.
"We won't complain if it's okay with you two. I think you should do whatever you want.
"Look! Sinya agrees with me!
"What? Did you call him to get my approval?
"They brought me here because they want Sinya to agree!
For both of you, Mr. Sinya is like a guardian!
"Tell me that first...."
"That's good! The results won't change, will they?
"Sure, but..."
"From now on, we'll both do our best!
"Yes!
If Penetta cares so much, we'll both be motivated enough.
"And one more thing, I need to talk to Sinya. Could you stay a little?
"Okay.
Danil and Papill leave the room and sit in the chair opposite Penetta.
"What are you talking about?
"This is it.
"... a letter?
"It was delivered from outside the city a while ago. To Shinya. Something must have happened, so I opened it once. Don't worry, I didn't read it.
"To me?... this is a letter from Prithue.
"May I ask what the King of the Beasts... wrote?
"Well... apparently, there's a rescue request for the Beast King.
"Rescue request...? Where did it come from?
"Sounds like a rescue request from a place called Manitoba Wilderness, southwest of here.
"Mannite wilderness...?
"I've never been.
"I've seen it before, but who lives there?
"What kind of place is this?
"As the name suggests, the wilderness. The grass and trees aren't grown much, and the soil is bare.
We'll have to take a carriage for about a week from here. Besides, it's been going on for quite a long time, so I heard it would be a big deal to cross without guidance.
"A rescue request from such a place...?
After all, it seems that there are minorities living in the wilderness.
There seems to be interaction with the Beast clan, and there is no other way to rely on it. It doesn't say anything about the specific characteristics of the ethnic group.
"The letter seems authentic. That means there really are minorities living in that wasteland. Still... a lot of ambiguity, right?
I see. Regarding minorities and where they are... they're pretty fluffy.
"I'm sure there's a reason, but... if you don't go, you won't know anything.
"It's a week from here. Considering what happened after we got to the wasteland, should we think of it as a 10-day journey?
"I wonder if we're on our way right now?
"The content of the letter does not seem to be in a pressing situation. However, if I am asked if I can leave it, it seems that it is not the case. And... apparently they're nominating me.
I'm fighting with a few profits, but the Knights of the Holy Order are following me pretty persistently.
"The Knights of the Holy Order... really hate them. We need to be careful not to let our guard down...
Sinya, we're all right. Go if you want to.
"You haven't heard back yet, have you?
"Just one stroke is enough.
In the first place, Sinya is working for these people, so we shouldn't have a monopoly.
All I can do is rely on Sinya and the others for more than that.
"... you're starting to look like a tribal king.
"Because I am the king of the clan.
"Okay. I'll greet everyone today and leave tomorrow.
"Okay. I can't really give you anything back, but I'm sorry.
"Don't worry, I'm very satisfied with rice and soy sauce.
"Thank you so much.
On that day, I finished greeting everyone I knew.
I feel a little lonely every time I travel, but I think I'll definitely come back.
"Be careful. Sinya, Nil.
"Yes, I will go. Sister."
"Come back anytime.
Yes!
Say goodbye to Penetta and leave the castle behind.
"Really little by little, but this city is getting back alive.
I see. I don't think we're gonna need time to get things back together... but if Penetta's king, one day the Elves will be much more prosperous than they were in the future.
"... yes!
So Nil and I traveled to Hyormina.
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Nil, he's gone!
Yes!
Gakin '!
"Kh... it's too hard! Ah!"
"I'm out! Get ready!
"Ha, yes!
Nil and I stood on Hyormina before heading southwest. Horses are procured in Hyormina and carriages are used… there are no cities, villages, roads, and no popularity.
Because of this, there were many monsters in this area, and there were fights against monsters on the way.
I'm still fighting a B-rank monster called Rockbird. A bird-shaped monster with two meters covered in stone scales.
A monster that uses elementary earth magic while attacking from flight. Even though flying alone is troublesome, even magic is used, above all, stone scales covering the whole body do not accept halfway attacks.
No matter how good the dagger performs, Rockbird's scales cannot be ripped off if Nil's status to shake it is low. If you become a demon, your body will change, and your stats will increase, but there are limits to what you look like now.
Garrigaribuki!
A slash knife strips Rockbird's scales and creates a wound.
"Yikes!!
Nil! Aim for the wound!
Yes!
Nil broke in front of me.
Yeeeeee!
A magical formation is drawn in front of Rockbird. Monsters don't need to draw with their fingers, and it's really hard to read because magical formations are drawn suddenly.
Nil!
"It's okay!
Gung-gun!
Some pointy stones fly in, but Nil's shield prevents them from falling. It seems that Ranged Attacks will not counterattack.
"Haaa!
Zashh!
Ghhh!
However, Nil walks forward with a shield, striking a splendid blow.
A disoriented Rockbird crushes his wings and flies.
"It's no good!
The magic team I painted glows green and the lamble cutter is released.
Bakki! Bush!
The blade of the wind that flies many times cannot be stopped, the stone scale peels off, and Rockbird's neck flies.
Shit...
"I did it!
"The last one was good. Well done on diving in.
"It's one advantage to be small!
"It's time for lunch, and I'll bake Rockbird's meat.
"Yes, I'll take care of it!
Nil removes the knife and dismantles the rock bird. The demolition of monsters was good from the beginning because it was also a slave role, but it improved a little.
I told you because you asked me to, but now you can dismantle it pretty well.
"Master! Dismantled!
"Thank you."
"How do you eat it?
"Fufufu... let's go with a different yakitori today.
"Do you use that?!
"Yes, this is it! Miracle Seasonings! Soy sauce!"
"Gokuri....."
"I think Nil has already noticed the magnitude of this soy sauce in the past few days, but it's even more amazing today.
"More...?!
"Make sauce!
"With soy sauce... sauce...?
"It's easy to make. Simmer in soy sauce, sugar, and then sake. That's all. I don't mind if I add some garlic... but let's get to basic first.
"It's easy... sugar?! Such a luxury?!
"If you don't put sugar in it, it'll taste half as good. Sweet spots are good. There's a lot of sugar in the inventory, so don't worry about it.
Besides, I'll make the sauce, so just stick it in the skewer.
"I see!
A good smell rises as you slowly simmer over the fire.
"I smell so hungry..."
"This is the magic of soy sauce.
"The magic of soy sauce..."
"If you can stick it in a skewer, bake it more and more. I sautéed it from the one I made, seared it, and put it on again to eat. This is the strongest.
"It's the strongest..."
"I can put the excess in the inventory and keep it so I can make it all at once.
Yes!
After we've cooked everything, we'll finally have lunch.
"By not eating so much, the taste has doubled... no, it has tripled..."
"I can see the grilled skewers glowing..."
Well then, let's have it.
"Yes."
"I'll take it.
Nil still has to be eaten by me. It seems that it cannot be pulled there. Then I'll take it first.
