Vermillion

Loose, loose, and mellow.

Oh, it's time to go to the office - and that kind of blurry thought flows.

There must have been an important meeting of the new project today. Not good if you don't wake up, no, just a little more - and I try to hit you back in the sleep thinking about that.

But I opened my eyes unexpectedly.

If you think about it carefully, you haven't heard the sound of an alarm. It's more too bright. This is...

"- I overslept!?

caused momentum and momentum to rise up, - and there he became stunned.

Blue skies like falling out. Green meadows leading up to the end of the horizon.

"- Huh?"

It's not my room I'm used to seeing. It's not even indoors in the first place. If I thought my back was strangely sore, I would have fallen asleep in the meadow land, not in bed. Stunning. At the same time, the sound of a nose ringing "Bullshit" right next door.

If you look to the side like it was bounced, a gray-haired horse is looking at you as you eat the grass.

"- Huh?!

I turned my body back a little bit and stood up trying to roll. Fresh breezy meadows, often staring at each other. "Why are you so surprised," said the horse, with his frivolous eyes, blurting his nose before beginning to chew the grass again.

I look down at my body, even when I'm stunned. Wooden wand rolling at your feet. A grey robe that hits the wind once in a while.

"This body is……………."

Touch the pepper and flesh to make sure it feels. This wand, this outfit, and the gray horse. To be honest, I looked too familiar.

When I put my hand on my jaw, - there, there's no beard.

"………… What's going on?"

Standing up, a man in a grey robe - Koo shrugged.

"... haven't you been able to log out? No, and this is…………………."

The senses are not always vivid. Besides, I've been trying to manipulate my mind for a while now, but the menu screen doesn't show up. Number one, if this is in the game, why is the splendid mustache that 'Koo' was storing disappearing? If you look around you can see the green hills, if you look back, the deep forests in the big rocky mountains, the mountains that lead to the cotton at the end of them.

"Uhh... mmm..."

Unexpectedly, I hear voices other than myself.

I was distracted by the surrounding scenery and didn't notice it, but if I looked closely, there was a figure on the ground behind me who was falling without power. Next to it is a horse with black hair and a patterned horse eating grass.

"Mmm..."

A faint voice is a young woman falling on her back. Light dark skin, crisp, spreading dark hair, and long and stylish skin that can be seen even when lying down.

And there was one particular thing about the woman.

Top of head. Tight jump out of black hair, ears.

"Nekomimi......!?

Staring at it with a stunned expression, Kou accidentally swallowed a saliva.

Holy crap, the organs of an impossible beast as a human being, lying down without force. Kou doesn't know any other words to describe it. For Kou, who has a deep upbringing and understanding of Japan's HENTAI culture, the combination of cat mimi was a little too exciting for a glamorous young woman.

Also, don't look like a woman. Other than the leather armor that protects the chest and the area, it is only dressed with a black cloth wrapped around the hips and upper arms, and is close to unlimited nakedness. What a troubling and fantastic way to see the rich bust pushing up his chest with a slight peek from the gap in his leather armor. Is my consciousness awakening around my eyebrows rooting and my eyes shaking from time to time?

And beneath the woman, in a crushed lizard-like position, a creature that could only be called a "lizard man" had fallen into depression. Still patterned scales covering the skin, sharp nails at the fingertips. In addition to being depressed, I can't see my face because of the long stretch of bossy white blonde hair. It's smaller than the woman on top, but I can see the muscles all over her body are very developed.

Lizard men are also as exposed outfits as the women on top. Borough cloth to the point of apology for the tired leather armor. There was a stick on his waist belt and a rusty battle stick (mace) rolled over beside him.

"Ugh... I have a bad feeling about it, we both look too familiar...!

Pei, clapping his forehead and holding his head, Kou shrugs. When you also think about yourself dressed as an 'koo' in the game, it was unlimited that both this brunette woman and the lizard man underneath were likely acquaintances of the 'koo'.

"Uh-huh..."

And the brunette with the cat's ear opened her eyes, approximating the kou holding her head.

"Nh……?"

Tonya, a woman who wakes her upper body with her sleeping eyes, moving her mouth. Pikopiko, and the ears on the top of his head move. It's obvious when you get up, but your hair seems to grow where there should be human ears.

Half-opened deep green eyes capture the koo.

Often stared at each other with a woman sitting on the ground and a caught hips, but eventually she opened her eyes with excitement,

"Who are you?"

"Oh, sorry."

At the same time as the woman pulls herself away for a moment, she will be able to see the terrible things and apologize reflexively. With her ears pinned and her vigilance about to rise to the dew, the woman notices the presence of the lizard man she was underlying and stops moving.

"What, what?...... WHAT THE COLLE!? What!?"

A woman who eats bubbles and flies away like a cat animal. Lizard man with a woman's foot hitting her head straight in the clap and shouting "apple".

"What, are you kidding me? Atashi, where are you going?

Next to the woman who sees her surroundings in confusion, the lizard man is scratching his back with his fingernails as he groans "mmm," and still doesn't wake up.

"Uh, do you have a minute?

"Ha!? What!"

"……… Iris, right?

When Kou asks, a brunette woman who silences herself with a hazy face - Iris.

"That outfit......, you, Koo?

"Yeah, well. That's right."

Iris, who surprisingly narrows his eyes and observes the shiatsu kou.

Grey robes, wooden canes rolling at your feet. That's the only characteristic of 'Koo' where we say it in the game. He is almost identically dressed but does not have a trademark mustache and has a unique Asian child face. Back in the year - like in the late 20s from the IRIS, but maybe in the 30s in view of being Asian.

"……… Really Koo?

"Yeah. I'm losing my mustache, so maybe I don't know."

"No, I mean a mustache, not from the look on your face first. The way you talk is not a word as usual..."

To Iris' point, now he touched his face like Koo had been poked in the face.

"... your face is changing? What face?"

"Get out of my way... I feel like a system engineer with a child's face, droopy eyes, and tired"

"Ugh, another pinpoint………"

Gusari and Iris' words stabbed him in the chest, and a kow of how he was damaged. But soon he realizes something and explores the area around his waist.

It was the dagger that took it out.

"……… What are you doing?

"I thought I'd replace it with a mirror."

Attempt to show your face on the glittering blade. It was harder to use as a mirror because the blade wasn't shinier than I thought, but I only knew that my face was in a similar but unlike that in the game.

"Yeah, you look like a real face, this is"

"Wait a minute, that means maybe Atashi..."

Iris touching his face with his pepper, but dropping his gaze straight to his body, stopping him from moving.

"... What, Yada, this outfit..."

When he finally realized he was nearly half naked, Iris' cheeks became so red. Hold down your chest and hipster cloth and start twitching like you do now. Behind it, if you look closely, his tail, covered in black hair, was twisting.

What a shock to the tail, but he quickly turns a blind eye to the lady.

"Well, you should use this. It's lame, though."

I took off my gray robe and offered it. Koo wears a shirt and trousers under his robe, so no problem.

"Thanks......"

"You're welcome. But that's odd... why the real face..."

Kou shrugs like a solitary, looking at the sloppy hills that continue to extend, as he deludes the air that has subtly become awkward.

As a matter of fact, at this point, the "common settings" seen in cartoons and comics had brought the head to bear, but it was the mouth that put it.

"Phew, I'm surprised. I'm only physically returning to human beings..."

Iris scratches up her bare hair looking comfortable by weaving her robes. However, his hand touches his ear at the top of his head on the clap and the movement stops again.

"Eh. What is it?... Huh?

He was a busy Ilis who rubbed and pulled cat ears, stuck his finger in the hole in his ear and raised a weird voice, "oops," but he turned to his body.

"Hey! I need you to answer me honestly! Atashi, you're not growing anything on your head!?

"Something, I mean, you have ears."

"Ya knew?

"I saw it earlier and it looked like my tail was growing..."

"What!?

To Kou's point, Iris explores his glutes under the robe, at his mid waist. Gu, and pull something at the same time, "Gah," screams from the B-woman.

"Ha, it's growing!

You look just like Pansania.

"Ugh... I wasn't too uncomfortable because I was used to the game, but I thought it sounded strange..."

"Is that so………"

The vaguely nodding Cow nodded at Illis, who poked his knee disappointingly,

(If so, should the array be called Hyo-mimi, not Nekomimi......)

And so on, I was thinking of a slight escape from reality.

"Ngah."

- and.

The lizard man, who had been falling all along, cramped as he raised his voice. Keep your hands on the ground and wake up slowly.

The moment that face was dewy, both Kou and Iris took a lot of breath.

Although it was obvious from the way he wore it, the facial construction was also a creepy thing to call a lizard man.

His face was covered in scales, as was his body; his teeth in his mouth were sharp on the gizzards; and his long tongue, like a serpent, jumped out of his mouth and licked his thin lips. The skeleton of the face also deviates from that of the human, with the tip of the pointy-shaped nose, the nasal cavity, becoming a small hole.

Golden eyes with thin pupils just looked at the two.

――――

It's a flash of clearance.

The lizard man jumped instantly backwards from a horseshit position on the ground and landed with four legs. With a huge leap of more than five metres, he instantly took a distance from the two of them.

"- What the hell, Temehe et al."

Characteristic slobbering. He pulled out the stick he was putting on his belt, staring at the two without alarm at the mid waist structure. At that time, he notices that he has left his mace behind, smashing his tongue small.

"... oh man. I think I woke up, and suddenly I'm afraid it's a fight."

Pei, slap him on the forehead, and Kou is a shuddered face. Meanwhile, Illis was freaking out about the murder, his hips pulled and his ears lay low.

"…… Ah? Who is it, Temei?"

"I guess you're Bernard for saying that. Or I want you to say yes. You may not believe it, but I'm Koo. This is Iris."

To Koo's words while showing Illis, "Ahhh?" and as surprising as it sounds, a lizard man turning a circle and a stick - Bernard.

"Koo...? What happened to the mustache? The robe you're wearing looks just like Koo's... What, that woman over there is Iris? He's Panthenian.

"We're confused, too. I don't know where this place is, but it seems to be getting closer to reality."

While leaving behind signs of suspicion, Bernard also loosens his guard and looks around.

"... chip, that's an unfamiliar terrain. Temehe, if" appearance is closer to reality, "why am I still a Dragon Man?"

Bernard turns a frivolous eye as he drops his eyes on his own body and grips and opens his hand. I don't care if they ask me that, Koo shrugged his shoulder small.

"I don't know that. I mean, you're fine with Bernard, right?

"Anyway, I'm Bernard."

"You're not dressed like the game either. The shape of your face makes you... a little human, and your hair grows."

"Hmm?

Reaching for his bossy blonde hair, Bernard blinked unexpectedly.

"... I'm growing up. Shit, what the hell is going on? The menu screen didn't come out earlier, and I don't even know where it is right now. You mean this place is still in the game?

"I'm just trying to figure it out, so are we."

"Ha. Yes, if Temehe is" Koo, "then what about magic?"

"…… I see, there was no such idea"

Ringing his fingers properly, Kou reaches out his hand to the pouch of his waist, which is filled with salt inside.

[Aubine.]

At the same time, sprinkle a grain of salt.

The change was dramatic.

The meadow earth at your feet freezes radiolinearly, along with a tightly dried sound. A moment late for a fluctuation in cold air. The freezing wind strokes my cheeks.

"Ugh..."

A different feeling of something important being pulled away from the core of your body. I accidentally said to Koo, who pokes his knee on the spot, "Hey, dude...?," Iris tried to rush over to worry, but stops immediately. Because he visioned the obscure translucent presence behind the koo.

It was a skinny maiden, woven with long clothes. Long wavy hair, blue color that looks perfectly clear. He is holding him in cold sweat and shivering kou's back so that he can snuggle and crawl his lips on his neck muscles.

- Mi naskigxis.

A whispering, then clearly audible voice. Feels like you're being stroked in the spine with an ice hand.

The maiden smiled softly, tickling Koo's neck thanks to love, then faded into the space behind her and disappeared.

"…… na, ru. As long as it takes place."

Without even wiping the cold sweat that conveys his forehead, Kou hoists the edge of his mouth.

"He's the one who gets sucked by magic..."

"……… Are you okay?

"Yeah, well, somehow.... but trouble, this guy can't be a game..."

The second half of the word, like a blur and a grunt.

He shook his head and then tried to get up, but he focused on the grass at his frozen feet and pulled it unconstitutionally.

"…… ha, both of you. Look, look."

With a bitter smile, I show the two of you the weed I pulled through.

"The grass fell out. Be polite to the dirt."

"…… What!?

As soon as Bernard understood the meaning of the word, he lay down on the ground and began to drain the grass. The blue odor characteristic of the weeds is scattered in the grassland winds. Not tired of just pulling out grass within reach, Bernard begins to gut to the ground with more picked up mace.

… Seriously

Eventually, Bernard shrugged as he was relieved, smearing his nails with grass juice and holding a mace full of dirt.

"It can't be a game. That's impossible. This is..."

"It's not a game... Then what is it?"

Ask Koo's words as if there was a squirrel standing beside him.

"Ahhh!? I'm sure it's decided. Wow! It's real!!

It was Bernard who tried to scream instead and answered. It was Bernard, shuddering his shoulders and laughing, but gradually the laughter grew louder, and at the end of the day he began to laugh with his stomach in his arms on the spot.

"Heehigh! I finally did it! Coofhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Verhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

With a light tear in his golden eyes, Bernard continues to laugh like crazy. To what seemed too unusual, Koo, who was about to speak up, also shut up, with a puzzled and frightened look on his face as if he had seen something that should not be seen leading up to Illis.

Approximately those two, now Bernard stuffs his own pulled, chopped grass in his mouth, chews it, and raises his voice of joy.

"Vahhhhhhhhhhh, wow, wow! If I eat grass, it tastes! Bitter yeh! Yummy as shit! Huffffyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Stand up and whistle your fingers. If you eat grass away, a patterned horse - Bernard's ride will come running over with joy.

"Wow, Ome's alive too! Awesome! Smells like hair, and Vahha, you're more of a queer than I thought you were a horse!

ruggedly stroking the tenderness of the ride as he licked his face, Bernard seemed happy when he did,

"Sora!!

On the face of the horse, he slapped the mace on his right hand.

The horse surface explodes red with a boggly dull sound. The skull collapsed, the pink brain marrow splashed, and from the messed up wound, a blood splash that was not an effect erupted.

"Haha this guy is awesome, it's REAL!!

Bernard shudders as he drips blood back from his entire body before the body of a horse who falls and lays low with no power.

Two people who are taken aback.

- And at the feet of Illis, by the way, the blown eyeballs roll in.

"Yikes,...... yeahhhhhhhh!

"What are you doing!!!!

Screaming iris, unwittingly shouting at incomprehensible behavior.

But Bernard didn't put it in his teeth, he just laughed.

"Ahh!? Mm-hmm. You made up your mind. Wow! Eat it!!

"……… What?

"Hey Koo, Ome, you only had a knife, didn't you? Let me borrow it for a second."

…………

"Koo? What's wrong, hurry up."

"... oh, yeah. No, okay."

Shaking his head, Kou takes the dagger off his waist belt and throws it at Bernard with each sheath.

"Thanks!

"Yeah. You're welcome………………."

Behind Bernard, who is happy to work on dismantling, Kow looked at Iris as he answered the throw.

…………

Illis looking like he pulled a dong. Though it was the same with Koo.

"……… ha."

Oh, boy, Koo sighed small.

†††

After plenty of sundown.

Nestled in stone ruins, hidden among trees, is one swinging burning fire.

These are the Koos.

After that, the scenic meadow was not suitable for camping, so it was this place that we explored and found around Rock Mountain.

"Haha, you're lucky Koo had salt! Thank you!"

Bernard sits on a flat stone, juicy and gravy overflowing boned meat, protruding his razor-sharp teeth. By the side, the body of a horse in the process of dismantling is lying unconstitutionally. Bernard brought this hundred kilograms of meat all by himself. One of the characteristics of Dragon Man "Dragonia" is also effective in "Here".

By the way, this fire was also caused by Bernard's "Exhale of Fire (Brace)".

"Well, the ingredients are fresh, but they don't taste good."

The koo sitting opposite it smiles powerlessly as he similarly hits the meat. The light shirt and simple trousers were the only things that kept me together, so the night air seemed a little chilly on my skin. Whether it is a characteristic of being a race, or cold, or just wanting to eat meat again, it is warming with a burning fire, just like Bernard, who wants to stop by the fire.

…………

It is Iris who is slightly away from the two and twitching the little pieces of meat he picked at his fingertips. He twirls from the koo into a loaf of borrowed rashes, which makes him look uncomfortable. Behind it stood a gray horse and a black-haired horse each restless. Since one of the earlier riding poachings, both heads have been completely frightened and never try to get close to Bernard.

If anything, only the sound of the two men just chewing on the meat sounds.

"…… So, what do we do?

"Ahhh?

For abrupt koo inquiries, Bernard squeezes his eyes.

"…… you mean after this?

"Well, that's right."

"Right. It's already dark and cold today, let's just camp here for a meat meal and let's do the rest tomorrow."

"I'm talking about what I'm gonna do tomorrow."

"Coco is the world of [DEMONDAL] wo maybe. I don't know why it became real. Either way, you have one or two villages."

Pep threw up the bone fragments and with the meat in his hand, Bernard hoisted the nibbly end of his mouth.

"- Let's strike properly."

"……… Will it still be so? Don't bluff. You are."

Pei, slapping her forehead, Kou laughs bitterly. In the darkness behind it, Illis darkened the frightening signs.

"Well, for now, I'm just a little tired of being able to rest this evening..."

"I want meat too!

"You should eat as much as you like. There's enough meat to rot, and it's more your horse than your ex."

He's a total pain in the ass, but he's got a sarcastic, yet unpleasant grin. Vach, and Bernard, who laughed in an upbeat mood, hits his knee and continues his words.

"And I was surprised. I didn't know Ome was Asian."

"My parents are Japanese. British citizenship."

"Ha. I see. I thought you'd talk rationally."

"Is Bernard American?

"Ouch."

Nodding, Bernard keeps his hands greasy and meat on his cheeks.

Similar to its appearance, it was as if it were a monstrous bottomless appetite, but meat for one horse was too much to consume overnight on boulders.

"No... I can't eat anymore"

He throws away the bones that only have cartilage and muscles left, and rolls them all to sleep on the spot.

"How dare you eat so much..."

"Hehe, it's fresh meat, it's all over again………."

It seems that satisfaction seeps out of Bernard's powerless whole body. With a calm expression besides thoughts on its vicious lizard face, he bites off his yawn.

"Phew... no, if I eat it, I'll fucking sleep..."

"Either way, we're camping here this evening, you should sleep for a while. Let's take turns."

Kou, who explores the mess and the lumbar porch, speaks gently to Bernard.

"Hmmm... please wake me up... duly..."

Lu Rhythm stopped turning, but at the end of the day, Bernard began to sleep easily. Meanwhile, rising without a sound, Koo took some suspicious powder out of his hip pouch while looking down at Bernard with no expression.

[Darlan. Arto, Kon-sui.]

Speak the "Proclamation (Script)" and shake the powder on Bernard. Glittering golden particles are sucked into Bernard's body.

Watching it from behind, Illis, on the other side of the night darkness, hallucinated the figure of a winged dwarf.

"…… well. Now we can finally talk calmly."

With the burning fire on his back, Kow turns to the Iris.

"... you let him sleep?

"I used five doses of catalyst at a time. No matter how much, Bernard won't wake up for the time being."

He lowers his back to the fallen tree where he was replacing his chair and sighs in a somewhat tired way.

"…… Shall I introduce myself again? My name is Koutarou-Yonegawa. As I was saying, my parents were born in the UK of Japan. Greetings."

"Atassi is......... Ilis-de-la-Fente. Spaniards."

"Hmm? Real name play. That's pretty good."

"Real acquaintances don't play [DEMONDAL] anyway..."

"And I speak English very well. I thought it was the same place."

"I went to international school…………………"

"Yeah, I see."

Nodding with a regular face, (Is that a rich lady?) The word swallowed.

"…… So, this is what we're going to do. What are we gonna do? Arr."

"Right..."

Iris returns a sloppy look to the kow showing the lizard man behind him with his jaw. My ears are dripping without force, as if to express that mood.

"I always acted with him and thought he was a jerk.... I honestly didn't think it was such a crazy punch."

"I agree. The game didn't cause any direct harm, so they laughed and watched."

Look at each other and sigh deeply at the same time.

"It also depends on what we're going to do. My personal opinion is, I don't want to act with him."

"Atashi thinks so, too. Something I don't know what to do."

"He's the one who asks what to do and answers without hesitation," Attack the village "..."

Pei, slapping her forehead, Kou smiled bitterly.

"In the meantime, I'm glad Iris is decent. I don't know what I would have done if he was like Bernard to you."

"That's Koch's line. Honestly, until just now, I was a little worried that Koo would be with me.... It's really good for you, acting."

Now once, with a heavy sigh, Illis covers his face with both hands.

"... hey Koo, is this really real? Atashi, aren't you having a bad dream?

"Sa 'an. Even though I don't want this to be my dream."

Kou answers the squeaky, trembling voice of Ilis as he looks in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"But do you have such real dreams……?

In the flames of puffiness, puffiness, and burning, the exploding sound of branches. Quiet night forest.

- But I can't do this forever.

"Okay. Iris, I have one suggestion."

To bounce on the story, he slaps his hand flat and opens his mouth, and the sound freaks him out or Iris trembles his body. Ears that reverse the hair in a bin.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"No, it's okay, Ked. So?"

"Yeah. Well, that's the way things are going. I would assume that" here "is [DEMONDAL] the same interdimensional world and that we have metastasized for some reason, but as far as I'm concerned, I would like to act with the goal of" returning to the real world ". What do you think of that?

"I want to go home, too. I'm so sorry about the world."

"Right."

What I think back is a bunch of evil deeds that we've been piling up in the game. I can't think of a world where such outlaws can normally exist, unless it's for extra reason.

"So what are we going to do based on that assumption... I told Bernard earlier, but I think people live in 'here' too. Or so I want to believe. I think we should look for people first and get the least amount of stuff around us......"

"You can't even go camping in this outfit."

"If I may, I hope this isn't the Dragon Man area..."

"What about Bernard?

"Of course I'll leave you"

Kou responded instantly.

"... leave us alone and leave us alone."

"…… yes."

They both nod with a strange face.

- Actually.

I wonder if I can leave Bernard here like this.

Assuming there were residents in this world just like the game - it was more obvious than seeing fire that a man named Bernard would cause some sort of disaster.

But - that's why I didn't want to think about getting my hands on Bernard or anything like that. While we were both concerned about the same thing, and even though we perceived it to be thin with each other, we never put it in our mouths.

"... because clearly it will only be a source of trouble, this guy. personally…… externally."

To that word, Iris reaches out to the top of his head unintentionally in a haphazard manner.

"I don't know how this resident would react to 'it'. You should keep your hood down for a while, Iris."

"……… Okay."

"Well, then our goal is to find people.... Let's move."

I pick up the wand I was rolling at my feet and I get up again.

"Get as far away from here as you can... Let's get away from Bernard. I'm glad he beat his own horse to death, even though he may have gone crazy."

"…… Why did you kill him?"

"Sa 'an. I don't know what a lunatic thinks."

You wanted so much meat, I just groaned like I was tired.

He snorts and snorts and leaves the scene early, crossing the gray horse.

"Iris, can I keep my guard up?"

"Yeah. Atashi seems to work at night even in 'Over Here'"

The eyes of Illis, both fresh and across the black horse, shimmered beneath the moonlight.

"- Instead, Koo, if anything happens, please do it by magic, okay?

"If you are" Ice, "you have leeway, horns, and if you are" Fairy, "you have plenty of room for magic and catalyst. Leave it to me."

Slap the pouch on your hips and laugh.

The two horsemen run quietly under the moon.

…………

On a rocking horse, looking straight ahead, Koo clouded his expression.

To be honest - leaving Bernard without any shards of guilt, that's still a lie.

So Koo looked back.

Looking back, I slept alone, watched my tentative first friend.

"... good bye, Barnard..."

That whine is for some kind of hands--

The two disappear beyond the darkness of the night.

It's just...

Sleep by the burning fire, knowing nothing,

Leave a different man alone.
