Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 167: The Anomaly

"Come on, it's your hometown. Return to the mountains and calm the desolate demons again."

At the entrance to the forest, which stretches at the foot of the Loguera Mountains, Lulu spoke to Rigadora that way and let go of his hand.

This mountain is because this land is the home of this ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) and should be ruled.

For whatever reason, the wild dragon was a strong sense of territory and came to the land where he originally lived, so he thought that he would not be reluctant to come this far and return.

But should I say.

Should I say, after all?

Rigadora, who stared at the woods for a moment and showed you the sleigh of flying over there, but looked back and looked at the Lulu's,

"Kyuuuuuuuu! Kyuuuuuuu!

I rang out like that and came back in tears.

Rub your face against Lulu's chest, stick around and don't leave.

He grabs Lulu's clothes firmly, like a toddler who doesn't want to leave his parents.

Seeing how that goes, Iris said.

"... I didn't think this was going to happen, so I'm not surprised... but it's a nostalgic thing."

Zoë follows it, says.

"Speaking of ancient dragons (enchanted dragons), they said they were the loneliest and most powerful dragon clan that lasted longer than when the world was created...... watching how this Rigadora was doing, where? Makes me want to ask..."

Needless to say, you two look scared.

Even as Lulu I get in trouble.

Nothing. Keeping Rigadora alive doesn't matter at all in itself.

There is no cost of food, and Ligadora, who can communicate with demons, is valuable and useful in many ways.

Simply being there as a healing is cute, and the problem is as if it doesn't exist because both Ilis and Zoe like it.

But.

Not to the Lulu's, you wouldn't have to say it's a big problem for this Logsuela Mountains.

The demons of this forest are now very rough.

It is troubling when such a state continues and demons are pushed to the finals in large numbers.

Even then, the three of us here will survive without any problems, but once and for all, it is a country that has become its own home.

I don't want you to go out of your way to perish.

I want it to last as long as possible, and I have quite a fondness for this king of Leonard.

The anomaly in the Logsuela Mountains was something I wanted to quell at any rate.

"But I'll see you in this... looking for another way?

When Lulu squeals so, Illis takes it and tilts his neck.

"When I say it another way... kill all the demons in the Logsuela Mountains without one left, or something?

Zoe pulls her face into that noisy dialogue that she said without moving that beautiful face very much.

"... Illis. It's a boulder..."

If it's not possible in reality, it was a joke, okay, but Zoe is probably possible anyway if it's a pair of Lulu and Illis.

Of course, we chase each and every one of them down, which may be difficult, but a simpler force move could end in an instant.

For example, you think you'll unleash massive magic on a scale that crushes one mountain?

It's impossible for Zoë, but Zoë knew full well that it was possible for a former demon king.

And something similar to that would have been possible if the Demon King's neighbors had squeezed their power.

Now Illis is probably close in strength to the former Demon King flanks, Zoe felt.

Once upon a time, they can also feel roughly impossible for Zoe, who in the end is only a soldier or a little bit out of it.

That is understandable to Zoe, who once spoke of them as heroes.

That's why it was a dialogue while attracting a face, but Iris instantly said,

"Hehe, I'm kidding, Mr. Zoe. I'm not that out of common sense on a boulder..."

I smiled and said, so I'm a little relieved.

But the suspicion that fulfillment was really a joke lingers a little on my chest.

Because the look on the face of the fluffy laughing squirrel seemed to contain something.

However, I also knew it was something I couldn't help thinking about, so Zoe shook her head and squealed to tell herself.

"Yes... right? Whatever it takes, it's not that far..."

"That's right. Kill them all to the boulders, etc., is not a good idea to say. They are demons that can pick valuable materials, so you should keep about a third of them from the point of view of securing resources."

…………

Isn't it something, a little, different?

That's what I thought, but the wise Zoe decided to use the distinction of just keeping it quiet to force her back to the point.

"So, Lulu. What are you gonna do? Rigadora doesn't seem to be willing to go back to the mountains... so why don't we just investigate for now? Like the original Rigadora address."

Lulu gives a little thought to Zoe's question, but generally seems convinced of the policy and nods.

"Right. Originally, the request was an investigation into the anomalies in the Logsuela Mountains. You should find out where and what kind of anomaly there is. What can I do to improve… think about it later?"

That said, Lulu walks out.

Illis and Zoë also followed that back.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Coming"

That's what Lulu said as he walked in the woods.

Illis and Zoe, who cared about their surroundings for the word.

That alone seems to have made us both understand Lulu's words, pulling the weapon out of our hips so that we can handle it at any time.

What Illis is holding is the Devil's Sword Ascaron, a prize Lulu won at the Martial Arts Games

, a dagger that created it into a model.

The truth is, I tried to give the Devil's Sword Ascaron to England, but I admired it when Illis said it should be kept by Lulu because it is a testament to the victory of the Fighting Games.

Sure, that's true, but it's already something I was going to give to Illis in Lulu, so I guess he left a lump somewhat and had a funny look.

Iris has rarely asked Lulu for a favor.

So instead of the Devil's Sword, I was wondering if you could make me a dagger.

Lulu accepted this in two replies.

After the martial arts tournament, I found time to make it, but the other day, it was finished, so I gave it to Illis.

The internal mechanism was basically made to mimic the Devil's Sword Ascaron's, so the performance remains almost unchanged with only a short blade.

It weighs on the sharpness and performs enough to rip even the dragon scale depending on how the magic cage is caged.

Iris was pleased with this, which means he is lowering it to his waist.

Zoe, by contrast, has a long spear.

The making was extremely simple, and it was not a particularly magical addition at the time of production. It was brought from Zoë's home - Solange's house, he said.

It seems to be a simple product made by a village blacksmith, which I've been using ever since I woke up the first time, but with the magic and skill of the Demons there, its power seems comparable to that of a first-class product.

It has been used for so long, and then, even though it has been abandoned for decades, it hasn't even rusted greatly will be affected by the history of saying Zoe has been using it for ten years.

Anything that continues to be immersed in strong magic degenerates, whatever substance it is.

It is because the magic of that person is stained in that weapon that the powerful warrior allegedly had, then exerts a powerful power even in the hands of someone else.

That spear, which Zoe continued to use, is exactly what Zoe's magic is stained with and tamed with.

As a result, it had a performance close to the Ascaron replica made by Lulu and did not have to purchase any other weapons.

And Lulu naturally has the Devil's Sword Ascaron.

After the three waited awhile, a retreat and sound began to appear from the bushes of the forest, and with a loud roar, a giant demon appeared.

"... to the Stone Statue Demon (Gargoyle), Cyclops (Katobre Pass)!

There they were both demons about five metres in size, demons with feathered ore bodies on their backs, gargoyles, and the first demon, cattlebrepas, roughly in the shape of cows, but with ever-blackening shades of green, and with special magical powers.

Both are supposed to be a little smaller ethnically, but do you still mean that the Logsuela Mountains are a horrible area?

It usually seems to have more than twice the size of an individual.

Lulu calmly tried to respond to the demons that were attacking him at the same time as he appeared before the three of them.

However,

"Kiku!

That's how it rings, and Rigadora goes into two bodies.

Are you willing to fight?

No, from what I've been through, maybe that's someone I know, too.

That's what I thought, Lulu stopped moving to see what was going on and turned to observe.

Then, again, Rigadora began to squeal to speak to the two demons.

"Kicucum!

Rigadora is supposed to be the Lord of the Logsuela Mountains.

If so, his face should be wide, and if he hit persuasion, he could surely make him pull it off.

Just like that Aulbearer.

However,

"Gurrrrrrrrrr!!!

The two demons are the words of Rigadora (?) I didn't try to lend an ear to it.

Without stopping his leg, Gargoyle and Katobre Pass were attacked.

Rigadora doesn't stop,

"Kyuuuuuuu!!

and fly towards the Lulu's as they cry.

Apparently, the bargaining decision was broken, but I don't know how the hell that happened. Lulu ran in a hurry to secure Rigadora's figure for now, he caught Rigadora firmly and once distanced himself from the demons.

"... somthing, somthing..."

In Lulu's chest, Rigadora is rinsing her nose.

There are blurry tears coming out of those eyes.

"What, Lord of the Logsuela Mountains (Noshi). Negotiations are broken?

To cheer up, to joke a little and say so, Rigadora cries all the time.

He was somewhat shocked.

Without saying anything, Lulu asked Iris and Zoe to do their sights and deal with the two demons.

Then I speak to Rigadora again.

"... do those guys mind if I knock them down?

If you know him, stop knocking him out and let him pass out. But I don't mind as Lulu's.

If you're a common adventurer, it's easier and safer to take them down, so it's not a matter of necessity, but the Lulu's are not.

It was possible to end the battle safely and without defeating it.

That's why I asked the question, and I knew exactly that Lulu thought Rigadora would shake her head on that question.

But Rigadora nodded slowly, though slowly.

Surprisingly Lulu asks further.

"Are you sure? You don't know him?

Then, for a moment, Rigadora stared at the two demons and shook her head.

"... you don't know him"

To that question, Rigadora nodded.

Lulu is a little worried about how he should perceive this.

I wouldn't call it a lie.

The reason you lie like that is because Rigadora doesn't have it.

But then again, the question arises as to why there are demons living here that Rigadora doesn't know should have been the Lord of the Logsuela Mountains.

No matter how much lord I was, does that mean I couldn't grasp the massive demons?

Regardless of the village mayor, that would be a convincing story, given that the mayor or king has no grasp of all the citizens and the people.

But I also wondered if it would be odd for Rigadora to say that she didn't know Rigadora over there, even if she didn't.

Because citizens and the people are somehow aware of the names and faces of mayors and kings.

It may be a strange story to apply it as it is to demons, but whether you fight, run, or obey, you're supposed to be the one you need to know if you live nearby.

Because ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) are supposed to be so dangerous creatures.

Yet Rigadora didn't know the other side, and he didn't recognize Rigadora either.

I wonder what this means.

But there's no way to get Rigadora, who can't talk, to explain the situation in more detail.

Luckily, Rigadora said we could take down those demons.

If so, you should keep this place down.

With that in mind, Lulu gives instructions to the two fighting.

"Zoe, Iris! They don't know Rigadora! No problem, you can kick it!

The two nodded at Lulu's dialogue, boosting their magic and turning to the demons.

No matter how strong the demons were, they didn't seem to be the level of demons that could fathom the ancient demons who started to fight seriously.

A few moments later, in the woods, the two demons made a loud noise and fell.
