Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 225: The Winged Girl

Adventurers' Union (Alliance) Gentlemen, on your lead, we will go as far as the prison of purpose.

The prison that spreads beneath the Adventurers' Union (Guild) is dark as a jitter.

Moreover, during this time, the wall of the destroyed part is being repaired, and it seems doubtful whether it will withstand its use as a prison.

If you ask Orotos about it,

"... well, about half of it is useless. I can't even use the other half. There will be no problem because we are rushing to repair it so that only the risk of collapse is eliminated"

That means there's a lot of danger of collapse right now, but Orotos said,

"I'm fine. In the meantime, I keep letting the magician reinforce me. It doesn't matter if you give up a hundred steps and the dungeon collapses, but there's an Adventurers Union (Alliance) building on top of it. You can't let it collapse. The measures are adequate."

and explained it to me.

I see, indeed, if this dungeon collapses, it is the logic upon which it will collapse one after the other.

They put in quite a few magicians to avoid that.

All of that seems to be a direct request treatment from the Adventurers' Union (Alliance), and the request fee doesn't seem bad either.

Luckily, it seems that the mages are asking for a reputation because of the less danger the job itself poses than fighting demons.

If I did ask for a request fee, it was something that I would be interested in taking if I had time, because I could make a considerable amount of money out of a few hours of detention a day.

But if the Lulu's got this, the three of us would have covered it all, and it was going to be a total sales jam for what we are currently counting on this request, so we decided to weigh ourselves in there.

In the first place, it seems the Lulu's get quite a bounty for this series of activities from the Adventurers' Union (guild) and Claude, the Lords.

It's supposed to be just a request fee, but it's supposed to give something quite good to something that showed remarkable activity.

Because I thought there would be no more extra work to do.

In the first place, Lulu was not in a state where he could use witchcraft, and Iris and Zoe were also busier with that assistance.

They are the two that Lulu himself would not take up if he said he was okay on his own.

Lulu thought there was more to worrying about, but I knew that if I told you two about that, they would say you were bad for being impotent, so there was a distinction in Lulu that I just wouldn't say.

"... Well, here it is"

The foot of the Adventurers Union (Guild) official stopped when he came down to the basement and walked down the aisle for a while to reach it.

There was an iron plaid prison there, with a winged girl around the age of ten inside.

The way it ties brown hair in two, just like wings, looks like it's just a toddler.

When he crouched in and looked like he was having some conversation with the ground and tilted his neck, Lulu and the others watched the direction the girl and her gaze were facing again as Orotos had told him to look better with his gaze.

Then there is one rat there who has a long and masterful movement.

"That's the rat that that girl weirdly cares about. They kept it on their own in the dungeon... well, they're around there about rats. I don't care... I've planted it that far."

and so much so that Orotos has a strange way of impressing, that the rat is submissive to the girl.

The girl was obsessed with rats for a while, but whether the play had one paragraph, she looked up all the time, realizing that the Lulu and the others had come before the prison, and raised her voice.

"Oh, hello! Uncle Orotos...... is that it? And those people over there... who fought in the woods?

The voice had no darkness whatsoever.

They don't have anger or sadness for being caught, or anger for the Illis they caught.

The voice that speaks to Orotos also seems to be an even more enjoyable and truly an honest child reaction around.

Orotos responded to such a girl's reaction,

"... ah. You look good."

And that's the kind of unwieldy word I put on the children of relatives I haven't seen in a long time.

The girl, by contrast,

"Yeah. Zaza and I are fine. Like I said before, thanks for helping Zaza!

and the appearance of no subordination.

Orotos told Lulu about the girl,

"... this is how it is. That would be friendly, wouldn't it?

I say, and then I talk to the girl again.

"Don't worry about that. This is what we did on our own. But... you learned from that rat too, didn't you? the importance of life."

and strangely what to say in a voice containing majesty and agony, so I wondered what was wrong, but the girl replied to the word in an exceptional manner.

"... yeah. Me, okay. Life was important, right? When it's gone... it's something scary and sad, because it's something you shouldn't take away, okay? Zaza taught me..."

"... then it's fine. From now on, I hope to live with that carved in my chest."

Orotos turned a grin and nodded at the girl, not like directed at the prisoner.

The girl also smiled with a delightful smile that wasn't meant for one of the top hostile organizations.

"Yeah! Me, I'll do my best"

And I nodded honestly.

It is a strange sight.

This is a dungeon, the girl is the enemy, and Orotos should be the one who holds her captive.

And yet the Lulu's and the Moites don't know what to call it in too strange a situation.

But you understood that, and the Adventurers Union (Guild) officials who guided you so far started explaining it.

"I know you'll be confused... but since the beginning of the capture of that girl here, what do you say, it's like she doesn't know the common sense of the world..."

According to the official story, that girl, Aero, looked like she didn't even quite understand the concept of life, and she was in the spirit of not feeling any itch whatsoever about killing people.

I wonder how unusual he grew up, like both officials and Orotos initially thought, but the investigation has to be done.

Under such a sense of duty, the Orotos apparently realized as they listened to the girl in a courageous and attentive manner.

I was wondering if the girl is like a newborn child in the first place.

I can certainly speak the language, and the conversation goes through.

Many vocabularies also seem to know.

With that in mind, we have come to know that it would be different from a baby, but that the understanding of each word or thing does not involve a sense of reality or experience.

For example, I know the word "life," but the sense of what it is and how it should be treated is completely missing, etc.

And this is how the Orotos concluded that the girl knew nothing.

Over and over again, she also revealed that she had changed from a demon to a person, and also found that intelligence like now was what she had acquired at that time.

Ask him what his memory was like when he was a demon, and at least he has very little in Aero.

He feels like an event in a distant country, like a blur and a blur.

Deacon-style youth - there seemed to be some memories of where they were demons when it came to the glass, but this can no longer be confirmed.

Because he was merged with other human forms by sacrificial witchcraft and vanished.

The same applies to Goliath.

That's how Orotos has had many conversations with this girl and has become a relationship like he is now.

"... he was like a child who suddenly gained only strength in the way he fought... and it's a convincing story."

said Iris.

Even from her, who actually fought Aero, she seems to be convinced it was something like that.

"Now she feels no more willing to be hostile to people. I also confirmed this by witchcraft, so I'm pretty sure. It's enough that I wouldn't mind getting you out of here if I were you, but the other girl was more of a problem...... Aero changed from demon to person by another girl, he said. If that's the case, we can't deny the possibility of getting Aero out now and something going wrong..."

Glass and Goliath caused massive damage at the Final North Gate by sacrificial witchcraft.

There was no damage to the finals themselves, but the number of knights and adventurers who lost their lives at that time is appalling.

If the same thing happened about Aero, this time it could be harmful to the average person because it is all over the city, and that seems unacceptable.

It's obvious.

However, from the knowledge of the Lulu people, sacrificial witchcraft cannot be so random.

Besides, it was then that a large number of human shapes and the blood of the knights and adventurers were in that place that a dangerous presence was created.

Sacrificial magic is determined by the scale of the sacrifice offered.

The sacrifices made at the Final North Gate were of an extraordinary magnitude, such as the blood and bodies of those who existed there, and the magic that was full of them.

But the use of sacrificial witchcraft on Aero does not mean that much sacrifice will be made.

At best it was about the flesh of one Aero, and if it was such a thing that it could be caused, it seemed that it would take less effort to end it.

But that would not be something that could be ignored, and given that things should be carried carefully, we should support the thinking of officials and Orotos.

That's what I think, Lulu nods.

"If that's the case, you won't have a choice... Seems better after the interrogation of the other girl. Is it going that way?

To Lulu's question, the official replies with a difficult face.

"That one is difficult to navigate, contrary to Aero. I'm pretty sure she knows something, unlike Aero..."

"You mean non-cooperative?

"Yep. What do you say, an attitude like eating people...... you don't seem to feel as critical about being caught. Do you mean to help… it seems that torture makes it difficult to get something out or seize it?"

According to officials, the other girl is tremendously suspicious, even though she is sealed with magic by special magic equipment.

He seems to be able to get bounced off even when the inflexible man tries to seize him.

The magic fixture was attached to the prison itself, which seals the use of magic for all those in the prison, and if you go inside it, it will be a simple muscle battle, so they decided they could do something about it, but this seems to be behind it.

"Even for us, I wondered what was going on."

An official who seemed troubled, but Lulu looks at the face of Illis standing next to him and asks.

"Can you do something about it?

Few things can beat the Ancient Demons with their vegan physical abilities.

Like Holy Qi, magic itself has a less good effect when thrown into a space where it can be extinguished, but if you ask, it was put in jail. That simply seems to have the effect of rendering magic unusable.

Then Illis nodded.

"I'm the one who caught that girl, and I guess this is where I take responsibility. But I don't know if I can listen..."

It's not surprisingly easy to listen by torture or anything.

Because that's not always the case when you're told the truth if it hurts.

The same goes for the takedowns, and we're going to need eyes to see if what we're saying is true.

That's why there are craftsmen who specialize in that sort of thing, but Illis isn't.

It was the word of Illis in that sense.

Officials shall:

"With the interrogators still in the process of interrogation, I think we should leave that to them. It's just... after all, she's a different girl, so even if she's held up, I don't know if the normal way will work."

I said it that way.

In contrast,

"... well, let's seize that area before we think about it"

So Illis laughed at the noise.
