Yomigaeri no Maou

"People there, assistant knives......!

When Lulu said so and approached him, the woman in clergy clothes told him to look at Lulu and stop him with the hands of those who were not holding the sword, then set him up deep, holding the sword with both hands, just a little further away than the demons.

The sword held by a female cleric is not of such size that a woman can handle it, but a huge two-handed sword, even if it is a man, that is beyond her control.

The weight felt pretty good, too, and I just couldn't believe I was waving it with one hand.

But now she's trying to grip it with both hands and roll out some moves.

A powerful convergence of magic was felt in its sword and body.

Get close, it's dangerous.

That move that even makes you think so with Lulu.

And she flashed her sword as she screamed.

"...... hahhhhh!!!

It was smooth and another powerful move.

Lulu felt the supremacy of extreme swordsmanship there.

In fact, that blow was shaken up to the end when I realized it, and I couldn't even fully capture it by Lulu.

Fluffy, and something like the wind blew on the demons, and at the next moment all the demons' necks were rolling to the ground.

"... wow"

That's what he was whining about, as Ortez and Rusty's voices synchronized.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"I'm sorry you tried to help me with that."

Only one superior demon (monster), and an awesome female cleric buried in one blow, approached Lulu, saying so.

Its face, its atmosphere, clearly looks familiar.

The flowing golden hair, blue eyes like the sky, is a combination I won't forget once I see it, but more than that, Lulu had earlier swordsmanship more deeply remembered.

That way of swinging, the way you are, and those eyes that look at your enemies.

That's...

"No...... if you could take it down by yourself, there's nothing wrong with that. I'm glad I didn't do anything extra. More than that, it's been a long time."

Lulu greets him that way first, without saying the questions that have come to his mind.

to that word of Lulu, the female cleric opened her eyes as if she remembered something, and then,

"Uh... Aah! Have you seen me at the church in Final before?

I said it that way and smiled.

Is it because this is outside the church that I feel a slightly softer and more intimate atmosphere then?

It wasn't like I didn't feel anything mysterious then, but when I relate like this now, I find myself a normal woman, not so unusual.

Lulu nodded at the woman's words as she somehow learned a deep relief about it.

"Yeah. I remember taking a little lecture on history."

"It was, it was. Clerical history lectures, what a rare thing that no one listens to seriously, so I remember talking about fever and even maniacal things then...... wasn't it annoying?

Sure, it would have been maniacal when it came to maniacs.

Knowledge that was not mentioned in any books even when examined in Wang Du's library.

I'm very curious how the hell she found out about it.

"No, not at all. Rather glad to hear your valuable story..."

And he talked that far and was surprised that the two people he was accompanying knew Lulu and the female cleric.

"Hey, Lulu. You know him?"

and Rusty first heard,

"Did you nag a cleric? Lulu."

and Ortes asked with a surprising eye.

Misleading as it is, Lulu seems convinced when he talks to the two of them about his familiarity with this female cleric.

Ortes said with a nod.

"Heh, that's an interesting coincidence... but at that time they were headed in the opposite direction from the king's capital, right? Why is this shrine inside a mine pit like this?

The words were in some mixed tone of vigilance.

I wondered why I was so suspicious, but for now I will wait for the words of the female cleric.

Then she said.

"Oh, that's right. I heard a lot of demons coming out of this mine, and people in the mine are in great need of it. Our doctrine is that we help people in need, so I thought I'd go and clean it up for a minute..."

It is arguably the right thing to do as a religious person, rather than as a human being.

There are many religions in this era that solve neighbor love, help, mutual assistance, etc., but how many do you actually practice?

Given that, what she is doing is very right and legitimate.

Except if you believe what she's saying.

Hi. I felt indescribable frigidity in the way she spoke.

Nothing, I don't feel malicious or evil, but I feel that atmosphere as if I'm hiding something or the truth.

Nevertheless, if you're going to be honest with me where I honestly pointed that out, you won't even have to hide it.

It's no use asking, so.

Now Lulu thought to accept the statement as it stood and ask later.

Ortes, like Lulu, seemed to think it was strange, but he couldn't feel anything so alarming either.

I continued with a soothing tone.

"Was I? That's splendid...... I feel emotional because it's something I haven't run into a patrol cleric who's done that lately. You will feel better and lose your head than the Virgin's Temple of Holy Divinity."

It's a compliment that I think is a little too much, but when Ortes says it goes with its appearance, it doesn't sound so upright.

Rather, in a normal tone that's not as glamorous as that, because most dialogues feel plain enough.

Neither did the female cleric seem to dislike Ortes' words, and she quietly thanked him and smiled.

For a moment, however, Lulu saw the eyebrow root of the female cleric move perfectly.

It was about that moment when Ortes said the Virgin,

Does it have anything to do with her?

But that, too, won't talk to me from what I've heard.

There's more and more I want to know, but that's just a deepening mystery as it is now.

Being aware of that, Lulu, worried about how to ask, decided to try and get some time for now and mouth his sudden thoughts.

"The shrine...... uh"

I remembered that I hadn't heard the name there, and Lulu gets a little stuck in the words.

The female cleric who noticed it,

"Oh, I was missing this. My name is…"

So I unnaturally jammed a little, and then she said.

"... my name is Morgan. My name is Morgan-Gabrielli. Best regards,"

That name doesn't sound familiar.

It is therefore a normal name.

Lulu nodded and continued the conversation.

"I say lulu...... so, morgan which"

"Morgan is fine. Besides, the tone is normal."

"So sweet for your words, Morgan"

"Yes."

"The truth is, we're adventurers. I'm here to investigate the anomalies that seem to have occurred inside this mine. If you ask me, Morgan has the same purpose. I'd like to live with a competition over which you can achieve your purpose first, but... from what I've just learned, it seems more likely that you will achieve your purpose sooner"

Look at that awesome swordsmanship. I can't tell you that we can accomplish our purpose first.

Both Rusty and Ortes are nodding on that point.

I just don't seem to know what Lulu is about to talk about, watching the story go on.

Lulu, who had not confirmed the proposal to the two of them, looked at them like that and went on to think that they would say no if they did not like the suggestions they were going to make.

I also feel a little forceful, but I also had the odd trust to say that I would forgive that much selfishness.

"... is it? It doesn't look like you've thrown away so much..."

"No. Seeing the battle earlier. I'm a junior adventurer, and these two are intermediate adventurers. Earlier, the demon Morgan was fighting for would be an advanced class demon. Besides, when it comes to more than one of those... I still have a bad share of this one"

"So what's wrong with that?

"Ah. Just think of this as a suggestion and listen. I don't force you to do anything. Rusty and Ortez, too. Morgan, would you like to explore the mine with me? I'm not talking about parasitizing. I'm sure Morgan is following the doctrine, but we're living on it."

Hearing that, Morgan thought a little and nodded as he was convinced.

"I see. I'm only here voluntarily, not on request, but if you accomplish your purpose by me, you won't be able to eat, will you?

"That's the thing. So I wanted to make sure of it. The fee is... to a certain extent, Morgan?

That's what Lulu sees Rusty and Ortes.

Around they don't particularly disagree either, they think it's not a bad suggestion.

That, too, would be agreeable if it was after watching Morgan fight his way.

Probably stronger than Ortes or Rusty.

The two of us won't know how it compares to Lulu, but it's a sure fact for Lulu that it's indescribable strength.

That is why it is a proposal.

Morgan then nodded, although he seemed a little troubled.

Besides, I've even put a surprise condition on it.

"Then may I accompany you? Yeah, I don't need a commission. If that's what you're saying... if you donate to the orphanage that you wanted to go through."

He says that he does not need any money.

They say the road bank is enough for what they already have, and if they need more than that, they'll pay if they apply to the church.

"I don't think I'm gonna hit a bee if I get a little."

Rusty speaks that way of Morgan's less cleanliness, but Morgan nodded unexpectedly and said.

"You're absolutely right. My God... the Dark God is tolerated of all acts. Making money is also a perfectly fine act. But you guys were there to make money, weren't you? I'm just wondering if you don't have a little product to share it from the side."

"I don't know, I don't know..."

I worked for Rusty, so I guess the first thing I need to do is take it honestly.

Nevertheless, that's definitely the best thing to do if you say you won't lose your share, and I was just a little happy about it.

"Well, at least let me treat you to dinner tonight. And..."

"Yes?"

"We're out of respect. You can talk normally too, Morgan."

That said, she looked decent for a moment, and then,

"... this is my normal tone...?

And I shrugged, so Lulu said.

"You're not. I know..."

And I glance into Morgan's eyes.

Morgan also withstood the pressure of that gaze for a while, but at last he seemed to have taken root, shaking his head and nodding.

"... ha. Okay. I wonder why you figured that out. I think I was a good cleric."

Yes, I said it in a slightly lotus-leaved tone.

I guess this is her usual tone, that's why.

It is very different from earlier.

Nevertheless, how did Lulu figure that out?

That's not to say anything more to Lulu because that tone of Morgan was felt like what he was making.

And one more thing, for a reason.

"... I used to talk to people just like you."

"With me? Hmm...... like a lover or something?

Something like goosebumps stood on the sudden dialogue, Lulu said, shaking his head in haste.

"Hey, don't. Not like that..."

But to such Lulu's words, Morgan says an unexpected dialogue.

"What, too bad. You know, it's my thing."

Those eyes, which were like a clean sky earlier, are now glowing like a mischievous cat for some reason.

Does this mean this is who she is?

Lulu falls a little behind that personality, which seems surprisingly obnoxious.

To such a Lulu reaction, Morgan laughed,

"Hehe...... Surprisingly first (yeah)? Well, fine. Nice to meet you...... Lulu (...)"

That's what I've been offering you.
