Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Because of that, I've always been a solo with no one. I think it was... scary. Believing in others. Keeping my trust... betrays me.

That's why I can't trust the others all the time... and even if it gets a little more burdensome, I'll try to do what I can. But... that put Nil in danger this time... "

"... why did you tell me about this?

"For me, Nil... is the first person I've ever really trusted. Not because I'm a slave.

Nil exposed everything. My life was in danger. I wanted to tell her that I trust Nil. Maybe that's why I told you... no, maybe I just wanted Nil to hear it.

"I see why your husband is a little dangerous, but doesn't act with anyone other than me for a long time...

... you're afraid of trusting me.

"... I see. We fought locally together or with some trust. But when you think about acting together for a long time... horrible...

But this time, I was afraid of losing Nil I trusted. I almost forgot myself. I can't forgive myself for thinking that if I trusted others more, I might have been spared.

"Master...."

"... but still... I can't really trust anyone other than Nil... have you been disappointed in a much pathetic man than Nil thought?

I couldn't see Nil's face. I don't know what you look like... just thinking about it made my hands tremble.

"That's not true!!

I don't think it's pathetic! Those who despise their masters are truly pathetic! Those who feel joy by disparaging others are truly pathetic!

How foolish of you to betray your master's trust...! If I'm there, I'll skewer them all!

"... Nil..."

I found out that you were really angry for me. Beautiful sapphire-colored eyes were warm.

"Besides... I'm similar. I've seen a lot of malice because I'm a slave. It's hard for me to trust someone other than your husband. That's why I'm the same as your husband.

………

"If you say you can't trust anyone other than me, you don't have to act together. I'll be stronger and I'll take care of everything that they were supposed to take care of.

"... Nil would really do it.

"Of course. Because I'm serious.

If someone you can trust shows up, you should try to act together. Even if you betray me, I'm here. I will never betray your husband alone! Absolutely!

So... please don't blame yourself in the future. It's also my wish.

"... I didn't expect you to say that. I thought I'd be blamed or disappointed.

"That's impossible. Instead, my husband talked a little inside his chest. It just floats.

………

When I saw Nil's smile, it got a little painful.

It was certainly Yuki's fault that he became a solo player. But Yuki and the others had a reason to embarrass me elsewhere.

Nil will have noticed it after listening. I dare not wipe the discomfort that did not touch it.

Would it be easier to talk...?

"Master.

"If your husband really wants to talk to you, I'll ask you whenever it is.

"Huh?!

Nil was aware of it. I don't even know if I'm going to talk. Words that include all of them. That's what loosens my tear glands.

"I don't think I can force myself to listen, as your husband did to me. No matter what happens, I will always be next to your husband.

Nil looks straight at me and spins a lie free word.

"... Nil..."

Though the contents were thirty oysters, Nil's words kept tears from stopping. How long have you been in touch with such kind words and hearts... other than your parents? I can't remember anything but the old days.

Nil's words lightened my feelings.

If only I could sort out my feelings a little more. Just tell Nil everything. I'll tell you everything about me.

Not so far away.

I secretly swore to Nil, who swayed her beautiful silver hair into the wind and smiled on a deck full of worn-out holes, and kept flowing without stopping to wipe tears.

Pickup!

[Event Complete... Suppressed the Pirate.

Reward... Magic Book [Holy Shield]

Rewards are transferred directly to the inventory.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

"Raise your face. Sinya."

"Yes."

Soon after returning to the city, I headed for the royal castle with my feet, standing alone in front of the Dorothy Fisherman King.

I didn't want to report the results early, but my direct reports to the Adventurers Guild came to pick me up. I had no choice but not to go even if I was tired.

"You did well this time.

"Yes."

"I heard that the Pakles pirates were destroyed and that Pakles himself had been captured. In addition, they have secured three sailboats and recovered some of the stolen cargo.

"It was a successful operation with Norha and all the psychologists.

"You don't think you're doing it alone?

"Of course. Rather, I was just rampaging on the deck.

"... why aren't you more proud of your achievements when you say you should be trusted?

"There's no way you can be trusted for something you're proud of that you've taken away from others.

"... kukuku... hahaha!

"Hey, tribal king?!

Sergeant Kintetsu is in trouble with his eyebrows in the shape of a clan king laughing with his hands slapped happily.

An elegant tribal king is laughing happily. You'll think of something as downstairs.

"Captain Kintetsu! What do you think!?

"... yes. Someone worthy of trust.

"Mmm! I think so too!

"Are you sure you don't want to hear more about this?

"If you want to know more about this, I've already heard it.

From Norha and Psychol!

They had the pirates under control and two more to deal with.

"... one of them is my assessment?

"He's a really smart guy.

That's right, they made up their minds about Sinya.

"Just looking at the results of the quest doesn't make sense... so what was their conclusion?

"I don't have to ask... but let me tell you something.

Buy the toughest position in the operation and make a significant contribution to the progress of the operation. I heard that this would have been impossible without Sinya.

Moreover, they sheltered the struggling Fisherman tribesmen and let them escape with their knowledge of their dangers.

Norha and Psychic admired Sinya more than ever.

"I see.

"My two trusted adventurers admired it and liked the answers on the spot. Let's recognize him as worthy of trust.

"So, what's the other assignment...?

"... this is it.

The king shows me a viscous red liquid in a glass container.

"Is that... a fish killer?

"That's right. As a matter of fact, the Parks pirate ship was loaded with a lot of these fish killers.

"A lot?

"Most of the load on that hull was this fish killer. Speaking of which, how much can you imagine?

"... you can't make a joke if it leaks..."

"So I asked them to deal with it or take it.

As the king's hand moves, the red liquid in the bottle shakes with a tap.

Perhaps Nil and I were still suspected of being related to the poachers. We're not going to be able to reveal this mission. In addition, the deck was entrusted to me in order not to understand the movement of the ship, that is, the mission...

"If so, why didn't you burn out every ship? It feels easier that way...."

"This fish killer is meaningless to heat unless mixed with seawater.

In other words, even if it is heated while on board the ship, it cannot be processed. It had to be taken out in secret or mixed with seawater for heat treatment. But they both took too long, so they chose to take each ship... If we hadn't gotten in there and stopped it, it would have been very likely that a large number of fish killers would have been scattered across the ocean.

I understand exactly what the rhinoceros said about rendering the ship uncontrollable rather than destroying it.

"... why did you first reveal to me that I could handle it if it was hot?

"If we only knew that information, we would not have set the ship on fire, even if we were pirates.

If it is not mixed with seawater, it cannot be treated by heat. Without this information, I think the fish killer will be nullified as soon as the ship burns, as I just asked.

If you're one of the pirates, you want to avoid it. Then I don't use fire. But the real aim is to use fire to destroy the hull and prevent fish killers from spilling out in the sea...

I embarked on a pirate ship immediately after receiving a quest, but if I was an enemy, I wouldn't be able to collaborate with the pirates.

In the two days since I caught the poacher, I've been ready for everything that's happened. Is that what you mean?

Even if the pirates knew how to handle a fish killer or that it would make no sense to heat it up, they wouldn't even be able to touch the load except for me. It's not like they're a tyrant to set fire to their ships.

Is it as calculated? In this case, it is even possible that the soldiers sent by the king of the clan were withheld in the surrounding waters.

If you get in with a small number of people and give up early if you can't win, you're more likely to flush the fish killer into the ocean and escape. In order not to do so, I sent a handful of elite and trustworthy men to oppression.

Everything was perfect... I was completely danced in the palm of my hand.

With this youth, this arm. I have only been entrusted with such an important city.

If there is only one mistake, is it my power alone?

It seems that Nil and I alone read that even if we were enemies, we could control a few of them, but if I were a pirate, we would kill the five men on board and spray the fishmonger underwater. Then the entire ship fled. It would have been possible. Of course I don't, but I'm an A-rank adventurer. It was an operation assembled on the basis of that.

I have the power to destroy that big sailboat by myself. Actually, I'm pretty worn out...

I'm glad I didn't have to break it. If it was clean and the hull was destroyed, it would have been the death penalty...

"I apologize for imitating you, but this is also to protect this city. Forgive me.

"If you're completely danced to this point, it's much cleaner. There is no reason to resent it.

"Kukuku. Sinya is good after all. I like it."

When the King of the Dorothy Fisherman clasped his hands horizontally, one of the soldiers lined up beside him appeared with a letter.

"Everyone! Listen!"

When the Dorothy Mermaid King stood up, the soldiers straightened their positions.

"From this moment on, our Fisherman tribe will also recognize Sinya as its representative!

And when a great alliance with the Demons is formed, I pledge to contribute with all my might, including the provision of sea lanes!

Don't forget the Mermaids!

"" "" Yes!

In the water, the soldiers' voices echo and vibrate in their bellies.

"Sinja, apart from this, I have prepared a reward for you. Don't tell me you're not taking it... with all this stuff.

"... yes. Thank you (please).

That's how I got a letter from the Mermaid King. When I left the throne room, Nil and Muna were waiting as before, and when I showed them the letter, they both joined hands and rejoiced.

After receiving a letter from King Dorothy, Nil and I were guided by Mr. Muna, rewarded, and headed to jail with their feet.

The reason is to meet Pakles.

We need to know more about those black robes.

Walk down the corridor that houses the royal castle and enter a hallway that has a different atmosphere than the other hallways.

There are no windows, and less than half of the glowing corals on the walls are dim.

"Beyond this door is jail.

Behind the dark corridor was a thick stone door.

As Muna drew the magic team, Gogo and its doors opened. It seems this is the end of Muna's tour.

As you go underwater, there are pirate survivors shackled in stone cages on the left and right.

Gung-gun!

"I'll kill you!

"It's your fault!

Looking at Nil and me, the pirates punch their shackles into a stone cage and spit on me.

"Be quiet!

Gah!

When the prison guard slams the stone cage with his spear, he becomes quiet and just stares at it.

As he glanced at the pirates and proceeded further, the person of interest was sitting in the deepest cell.

………

…………

"What do you want? You didn't come to see my face.

Pakles releases his words without even looking at me.

"I need to ask you something.

You think I'm gonna be honest with you? To the man who put me in this place? How crazy are you?

The eyes of Pakles who looked at us were bloody and felt hate.

"Who are those black robes?

"Didn't you listen to people? I'm not talking to you.

"Why are they after Nil, not me?

Perseverance (perseverance) repeats words and continues to cast doubt. I have no choice but to find out from him.

…………

………………

"... hah... I'm going to die anyway. Maybe we should pay them back for what they did before they died.

He exhaled as if he had given up, and the rising Pakles approached the stone cage.

"I don't know why they were targeting your girl. They only told me to kill the silver-haired slave who would be here soon. If that had been achieved, we would have gotten all the money.

"... who the hell are they?

"... I don't know for sure either. It's our rule not to pry.

………

"But I'll tell you one thing.

... I've only seen them use their magic once.

"Speaking of which... those four used little magic... but what happened to it...?

"... the magic team was glowing black.

"So what...?!

"That's all I know.

... bye. Son of a bitch. "

Pakles looked me in the face without losing sight of me at all and said, "Pakles is slightly away from the grid."

Bush!

From Pakles' chest, far from the cage, countless black thorns protrude, and blood spreads into the water as if the red paint had fallen into the water.

"Ofu...."

Blood and bubbles pop out of your mouth into the water and Puckles hangs his head.

"This magic...."

Nil sees black thorns, leaks words, and covers his mouth with both hands.

"You guys are going to... goho... kill me..."

After slowly lifting your head, relax from the body of Pakles, both corners of your mouth.

"Hey, come on! Somebody get in here!

"What's wrong?! Ha?!"

"Get the doctor now!

Yes!

Immediately a doctor appeared before Pakles, but the death was confirmed without a medical examination.

I thought it might be suspicious that we were discussing it at the end of our lives, but the soldiers who were watching nearby assured me that Nil and I were not using magic or interfering in the jail.

Thanks to that, Nil and I were freed immediately and we were able to go back to the inn.

Upon returning to the inn, Nil murmured with a thoughtful face.

"... that's..."

"Nil seemed to know something… Do you know the black thorn that grew out of Pakles' chest?

"... that's probably the magic of the Death Deal.

"Death contract...? It's magic I've never heard of.

"To the extent that I can recall having heard somewhere, it was a magic that lasted until either one of us broke a promise to each other..."

"... if you break that promise, that thorn will take your life... that's the contract of death... that's what Pakles saw.

"I'm sure of it.

"As with light magic, you shouldn't decide because you can use dark magic..."

"It's a demonic race... right?

Nil has come to the same conclusion as me, and she has a face that I can't say. I don't know if Pakles told the truth... but if the magic of the Death Death Contract were activated, it's likely to be quite powerful information.

"If they were demons... what does it have to do with what the Hollows are investigating...? No, I have no idea why they attacked Nir..."

"... what do you want to do?

"That's right... even if they were demons, even if there was some relationship with what the Hollows were investigating, there's nothing we can do to go to the demonic world. Besides, it's possible that the Knights are trying to confuse us.

Unless we know something important, we can do something about it now.

"Going to the next city?

"That's right..."

Concon...

Yes?

When I heard a knock on the inn door and replied, the door opened and Hermia appeared from behind.

"Hermia? Why are you here? Is the guild better?

"The Alliance has taken a break.

"Huh? It's still noon?

"I know.

Hermia's expression is serious and her eyes say she wants to convey something.

"... did something happen?

"... actually, I came to ask Sinya a a favor.

"Please?"

"... Mr. Sinya.

"Yes, yes.

Helmiya, who corrected her posture when she decided to prepare, pressed her temper and her voice rubbed up a little.

"Um... take a special quest!

"... hmm? Special quests?"

Yes!

Is there too little information? Hermia.
