A brave man finishing the battle wipes his sweat with his hands and then exhales.
I complain about how my body feels. It must be because today's enemies were so unpleasant.
He was the one with the bug spit running just imagining it. I feel even heavier considering the aftermath I would have to do.
"Yu, brave man! Are you ok!?
Matari came running over, so I show her my left hand. The healing has already ended, so there is no problem. I finished it before the poison turned around.
"It's okay. It was a bit unexpected at the end though. See, there won't be any scars."
Matari looked at it and exhaled a sigh of relief.
"It was really good. I thought about joining the team, but it was going to get in the way."
"It's hard not to get used to a one-on-many battle this time. And remember you, little by little."
"Yes!"
The brave man looks at the living doll falling near the entrance. It's not a sword, but a shield to the end that drove him to inaction.
"You didn't use your sword. That must have been tight, right?
"Yeah, it was tough, but I still couldn't. It just seemed manipulative. Well, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize. Whatever I say, make your own decisions at the end. That's more important than anything else."
Even if it fails as a result. Even if you regret your choice, it is important that you choose for yourself. The brave man thinks it sucks to leave himself to the words of someone, or fate, etc.
"Wow, I understand!
"Good. Shall we start with the end of the scene?"
That's what the brave man tells you, looking around. Falling down are the bounty hunters and the living dolls that were being manipulated.
The adventurers have been wounded by those involved in the battle, but they have not seen anyone who is likely to die. It will regain consciousness in a short time.
I think the puppets on the other side are free from domination, but can they be fulfilled and undone?
"Matari, you're bleeding. Take care of the bounty hunter. I know they're stupid, but I can't help it. We'll get a thank you later."
"Yes! I'm going to bandage you!
Matari takes out the bandage and starts running.
The brave shouted at Adele, who was bewildered.
"Hey there Pinkie! Don't be stuck forever, and help you too."
"……… Huh?
"It's you, you! When it comes to pink, you'll be the only one, you pinky!
When Adele realized she was talking about herself, she stood up and rushed over to me.
He looks surprisingly healthy to a habit he had fallen to earlier.
"So, who's Pinky!! My name is Edel. It's Adele Weiss!"
"Shut up."
"I'm not Pinky! It's not pinky!
Do you have any bad memories? Adele is blushing and calling out.
"Please don't make a scene in your ear. Without us, you'd have been a perverted toy."
The brave man poked Pinky's forehead gritty with his finger.
The important thing at this time is to have a smile that makes fun of Nitanita. This way you can oil your opponent's anger.
"Here, you fucking hungry bastard! Without you, without you..."
Pinky trying to shout. But if you remember the earlier battle, your voice gradually decreases.
"Pi, Mr. Pinky. What's wrong, sir? Did you just hit me in the head!?
Matari, who wraps one of the bounty hunters around in a bandage, smears salt around Pinky's wound.
At times like this, the natural character is more cruel.
"Yes, no, you're absolutely right. I must have been considered a Russ doll. Pi, I can't help being called Pinky."
I dropped my shoulder. Pinky thing, Edel.
I gently rub my back so that Matari can comfort me. I thought it would be rather counterproductive, but the brave left it alone.
"What's wrong? You suddenly have a special attitude. I don't mind if you act like a pinkie like you did before."
"... Kuh, say anything. You did pick up the prize neck lass. All I can say is brilliant."
If you squeal like that, Pinky walks to where Russ existed until earlier.
After meditating on his eyes for a little while, he recovers the 'left hand' cut off by the brave man and puts it in a small bag.
"If you want it, shall I raise it? There seems to be some cause. 'Cause I just happened to be done."
"I don't need it. I would not do anything that would take someone else's hand. Though I think I've said it before.... Ha, I'm losing my mind."
I'm throwing a bag with my left hand over here. I have it and it doesn't feel good, so I immediately slip it into the leather bag.
"I don't care about that, but how can these guys not be undone? You can leave it, but it's a demon bait."
Living dolls falling down with vain eyes. Even if my consciousness returns, all those in my body who seem to regret it. It's the price of being forced into unscrupulous combat.
"Looks like you got your brain rolling around. There's nothing more we can do when this happens. You can't cure any healing technique. Poor thing, though."
"Is that so……………"
To Edel's words, Matari is badly depressed. The world is mostly like that.
I don't even have to try the healing technique of the brave. Even if you use healing techniques, you just end up creating one abolitionist. Even if you can fix your flesh, you can't heal to a broken spirit. On the contrary, I want you to tell me how to cure it.
The spiritual power of the brave will not be that great either. My current self is exhausted.
"Pinkie, is there a way to get the bounty hunters back up there?
"Well, it's possible with a metastatic stone. I have one, too, and Russ would have tried to use it earlier. We can go back and forth as long as we can remember the location."
"Can you take more than one human?
"Grab it and you'll be fine. Because metastatic effects apply."
To Edel's words, the brave nod gently.
"All right. Matari, you use the metastatic stone to properly explain it to the gatekeeper. After that, take steps to get the guy who needs it treated. Pinkie, you take the bounty hunter up and back. Claim your rent later from these idiots. I don't mind if I blow it."
The brave man exhales once and for all.
"Yu, what about Mr. Brave?
"I'll do what needs to be done before I go back. Someone has to do it, right? I'll finish it by the time they put me back on top. I'll see you later."
"... I need your help, too"
Matari tries to stay with his face stretched, but the brave man shakes his head to the side.
Somehow, I didn't want Matari involved. Besides, I didn't even want to be seen myself.
"It's fine. Leave this to me. Look, some guys are going to bleed to death if we don't get going. Just go."
When the brave man was forced to smile, he turned his back on Matari.
◆
When I finished what I had to do underground, I asked Adele to take the dolls I had sacrificed to the ground. Maybe they could have incinerated it on the spot, but if they had a family, they thought it would be better to leave it to them.
Survivors of the bounty hunters who picked up their lives are receiving first aid treatment in the square in front of the labyrinth. That number is nine. They are lucky people.
Matari explained the situation to the gatekeeper as he was told, but he didn't seem to get any guidelines at all. I try to explain myself in a good way, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting a good story together.
The gatekeeper who confirmed the figure of the brave man approached me and asked me to tell him the details.
When the brave man glances at Matari with his jitty eyes, he shrinks in his seat with apologies as he scratches his head.
With the aftermath still to be done on earth, the brave man tells him to speak in detail later, leaving the labyrinth entrance early enough.
Brave, Matari and Edel keep walking without any particular conversation. The way to go is not the guild, but the slum district.
Since the slum district is isolated by a fence, there is only one place that serves as an entrance. The guards of the Church constantly keep their eyes open to those who pass by.
A town lined with ruins. After a short walk, there was a girl sitting on the rubble. Licking candy balls, observing people going out.
The outfit is stylish and looks good, but it has faded and become dirty. I don't know if I picked it up or if it was my original possession.
I got the impression that my face seemed to grow up somewhat well.
The brave man approaches and speaks up.
"Could it be a little good? Are you familiar with this?
"I don't know much about it. Because I was dumped recently. But you know Cologne. I know everything."
"You, I know him. Why don't you just call me if you like? I'll thank you."
"Is your sister Cologne's friend?
"Well, that's the place. I'll give it to you first. Eat whatever tastes good now."
"Wait a minute."
A brave man makes a girl hold a piece of silver coin. When the girl chewed up the candy balls, she went into the alley for a small run.
Adele speaks up.
"Do you know a child here?
"Well, sort of. I promised you I'd show you around next time. Maybe you know that scrap house too. It's a waste of time searching for ruins like this one house at a time."
"Sure, I don't know where or who lives."
Matari looks over the ruins. There are obviously some wild houses where people don't seem to be able to live, and some crumbling houses where laundry is dried.
"It's the same here. Everything dirty in this city comes together here. It's a place of bad faith."
Adele throws up uncomfortably. The usual floating attitude is not there.
"You know this place, too?
"…… a little."
Since Adele clouded her words, neither did the brave hear them in depth. There are things that nobody wants to hear.
As I stand on the spot without conversation, the girl from earlier returns. From behind, the boys armed with rusty swords and broken pots appeared. My face is severely nervous and my body is shaking.
Cologne is equipped with a broken tip sword. When I look at the face of the brave man, I turn around and get a relief look.
"What, you're a brave sister! Hey, Silca, this guy's not a bad guy. You missed me once."
"That's right. I thought you were a jerk."
"…… hey, who's the rogue? The rogue won't thank you in the first place."
"Yu, brave man, calm down. He's just a kid."
"I'm not mad at you. I'm just complaining."
Matari stroked my back reasonably. Those warm eyes give the impression that they are forgiving their children.
The frustrated brave man keeps Matari's cheeks in full swing. Seeing a teary-eyed pig, the brave rattles his nose with hun.
"If you're not as vigilant as that, you can't live here. I'm sorry, sister."
A girl called Silka squeaks pale.
"Damn, don't make me panic, no more. You guys, break up. Break up! You can go back and play with Yatum!
"Aye. Cologne, come back soon."
"Hehe, we are a continuation of the card. I'm the next parent." "No, it was me." "You just lost!
When Cologne decrees, the boys behind him pull into the alley busily.
"You guys, didn't you go into the orphanage?
"An orphanage? There's no room for us in this orphanage anymore. Our beds are in this alley."
"Is that so? But there are good people to take care of, aren't there?
"Hehe. If that's all right with you, I'll see you? When I talked to my brave sister, she said she wanted to see me. Don't think we'll get along."
Colón laughs as he scratches his nose and head. The brave man relieves his expression, but there are things that must be done today.
"Sorry, I can't do it today. Will you introduce me again?
"It's nothing good. We're always here.... So, why did they call me?
"If you're familiar with it, I was wondering if you know a certain scrap house."
"Hehe, this slam is my garden. Ask me anything. I know everything from the getaway to the hidden passage.
Cologne proudly arms up.
"I want to know where Las Nubes lived."
Adele asks Cologne, but, um, twists her neck.
"Even if they call it a bounty neck, it's because I have a cup. I can't even remember his name."
"Well, what if you're a suspicious puppeteer!
When Matari, who was rubbing his cheeks, asked aloud, Cologne pounded his hand as he glanced at his face.
"Uh, okay. That smelly store. The store's grandfather is suspicious, and his eyes are scary. We were careful to stay away from each other."
"……… Will you show me around? Thank you, of course."
When Edel tries to give him the money, he waves both hands that he doesn't want Cologne.
"Thank you is fine. The brave man and Matari's sister are already friends. But give me a break in front of the store, right? It really stinks over there."
"That doesn't matter. Guide, please."
"Then follow me. Don't get lost because there's a lot of crap and it's dangerous."
Cologne ran out, so the braves began to run in a hurry. Advice Edel slowly lagged behind.
Moving on for a while, Cologne stops near a lonely store. When I show it here with my fingers, I pick my nose spicy. Even though it is in front of the store, it smells strange.
Something unpleasant like a mixture of the smell of blood and rot. He seems to be trying to delude himself with incense, but it doesn't seem to be working.
The brave men thanked Cologne and decided to go inside. Cologne and Silca are watching the situation without walking away.
"... you lived here. He made a living as an appraiser of darkness, though. I didn't know a proud magician would crash this far."
Adele groans with a smile on her face. The brave man observes the store. None of this is dusty and I have no idea what kind of tool it is.
"Hmm. Well, I don't care. Well, I guess there's a cup of stuff in the back that you don't want to imagine."
"............... maybe, no, I'm sure you do"
Adele groans heavily and pushes silently.
What a brave man should do. the end and end of the material that the scraps would have left behind. I can largely imagine what's there. Myself and Adele will be bearable, but how about Matari.
"Gee ho! What is this smell, what is it? It smells like rot. Oops, I think I'm gonna throw up."
A teary-eyed matari is holding her mouth and desperately experiencing vomiting.
The brave man rubs his round back, urging him to exit.
"Mattari, you need to go outside. There's nothing good ahead of us. Leave this to me."
"So, but"
"You must secure the entrance. There's nothing you can do."
"……… No. I'll follow you, too. I'm one of the brave ones, too, so I'm coming with you!
"... really?
"Yes."
"... don't push yourself."
When the brave man advises him with a serious look, Matari nods as he suppresses his mouth.
Brave and Edel move on, and Matari squeezes his strength from the rear.
"……… you're kind to that girl."
"There are things you don't have to look at. Remainder of a poor man's nightmare. You don't have to see that."
"A nightmare, I'm sure. There is nothing beyond that. Just empty. … Now let's go in the back"
It was hell in the world waiting for the brave men in the back.
A sight that cannot be cleaned up by the word "miserable," etc.
Even if you cover your eyes, you'll burn them in the back of your brain. The sound of a grudge, a feather bug that seems to be heard even if you block your ears. A rotten odor that cannot be prevented by covering the nose.
My daughter, who is still kept alive, even though she has been physically - Are you conscious, I raise my voice of anguish from time to time. I guess I can't die if I want to. Her parts are scattered all over the place.
Beyond which the blood pond spreads, the people who have lost their will to wait for 'their turn'.
He looks at the dolls from the edge, distorting his face.
Russ must have grabbed me and made my brain. With his vain eyes, he just keeps looking at the front. I'm just breathing, just a doll.
But some of them react here. I don't know if they've done it yet, or if they've done it on purpose. He wanted to dismantle it in a state of willingness and so on.
"- Ah, ah, ah"
When the brave man looked back, there was a matari who couldn't say anything with his eyes open. I can't even seem to move.
It is natural for a normal person to do this. Something is wrong with me if I can't stand this.
"Matari, go outside."
"- Uh, oh, hey, why, like this?"
"No way. So I told you to stop it."
Stand in front of Matari, where the brave man is flashing, pinching both cheeks with his hands. The focus of the mundane matari. Brave men use hypnotic magic and force them to pass out. Successful hypnotic magic requires the closeness of the subject and an even weaker mental state that cannot be resisted.
Matari, who fills both, collapses on the spot. The brave man takes Matari out of hell and moves him to a place where the outside air enters.
"- Gehoggyhoggy!!
Adele also holds her mouth down and coughs hard. There are tears in his eyes. Manipulating the dead, she was also apparently an ordinary person. Then the end of the madman should be done by his kind. The brave smile.
"Are you okay? You can stay out, too. I'll take care of it later."
Brave men are used to seeing. This is mostly what happens after the demons attack the village. Because you treat humans as toys with half the prank. Burying it is a largely distracting task. Some of the demons who do this naturally include fallen humans. Rather, the proportion was higher.
"It's okay. I am a Necromancer. That's about it, yeah, I'm fine. It's okay."
"Yes, that would be good. … well."
Leaving Adele holding back her mouth, the brave man hangs a cure on a willing and likely helpful person. My mental powers are shredded, but I can't abandon them here.
Of the dozens of victims, only five were able to help. Their spirits are confused from intense fear, and Edel takes them outside as they struggle to contain them. In the future, I can't guarantee whether or not I will recover as usual.
And the treatment was given to those who thought they would no longer be able to help. My daughter, who would have had a prolonged pain, only at the last moment had a restful look on her face.
This was for the brave. You're supposed to be used to it, but something's about to break. The sour seemed to overflow from my stomach.
My stupidity leaked when I tried to mislead my nausea.
"When I can show you something like this, I think you'll make it."
"…… What?
"I said I was in the wrong place to die."
"What do you mean?
"It means the way it is. Well, after that..."
This room would have been used as a material storage area.
At the end of the brave man's gaze is a room that is tightly locked. There's still a hell of a place waiting for you that's not open.
"I don't like it, but we'll have to go"
"... I wonder what more there is to it"
"You don't know that unless you ask that outside road. If I'm here, I'll tear you apart before I ask."
The brave man pulls out the dagger knife and forcibly destroys the locked key. Kick the door and go inside.
Inside, there is only one magically lit light, and the walls of the room are affixed to every place with spell-filled bills.
In the center, a magic formation was noted, on which a girl lay her hands together.
I can see that they are clearly treated differently than other human beings.
The brave man approaches the side and looks at the girl.
The aperture is empty and does not reflect anything.
If that outer road had gotten the eyeballs of the brave, it would have been supposed to fit here. Brave men devour their teeth for the evil of chest feces.
The naked body is neat, but I get a distorted impression somewhere. If you look closely, you can see that the areas are connected together. The skin is applied and the joints are cleverly concealed.
- And the girl, she's alive like this.
"Ca, Catalina?
"Do you know him?
"... daughter of Russ, who died five years ago. After this kid left the world with an epidemic disease, the guy went crazy. All the gears went crazy."
The brave stare at the girl who was named Catalina. Is the original part of this daughter still there? To this doll who was created with everything in succession, was given a name again, and put his soul into it.
…………
The brave man takes his gaze off the girl. I feel like I'm going to touch you when I look at you. The procedure must be carried out as soon as possible. You shouldn't leave the rest of the lunatics behind. The brave man puts his hands on a dagger knife on his hips.
Adele reaches out to the girl's body. Start examining the girl's body.
"... I have a heartbeat. She is also breathing. You think he's alive like this?
"You must have bet everything on that. Human obsession is horrible. Whether that's right or not."
"Ca, is Catalina's soul dwelling? Really, Catalina is here. Catalina -"
"Adele. Don't call on that daughter any more. You don't have to inflict any more suffering."
The brave man hits the dagger knife into the girl's heart. The nightmare needs to end here. Catalina's dark eye hole captures the brave man from the front. I think my mouth moved. I'm trying to tell you something. Resentment or begging for forgiveness?
Never ask. The brave man beats faster and his breathing is disturbed. A cold sweat runs down my back. For some reason, I felt Catalina had a thin smile.
The hand grabbing the knife trembles badly. But we have to. Someone has to do it. And that's the work of the brave.
"- Haaah, haaah, haaah"
"…… I'll do it. I have to do that."
Adele grabs the trembling brave hand and forcefully takes the dagger knife.
"……… Is it good? You'll regret it."
"I'd regret it if I didn't. This, I have to do. I was Catalina's sister."
Edel puts his left hand on Catalina's empty eye hole.
Put your strength into your right hand and slowly let that blade tip sink into your chest. A sharp blade pierces the body. Black blood spills out of the wound. There is zero blood coming from the mouth. Catalina reached out to the universe cramped and tried to grab something. After a while, the hand fell like weakness and never moved again.
Catalina's heartbeat stopped and her breathing stopped completely. Catalina died a second time.
The puppeteer's nightmare is that it's completely over. How many human beings have we involved so far? I can't imagine at all, and I don't want to.
It's all over, and Brave and Edel go outside the store. Cologne, who cared for me, called for a guard. The healing technique has begun to transport the humans. The wild horses also gathered.
Before things get troublesome, it would be a good idea to just disperse.
Adele has Catalina's body. Brave men shoulder unconscious matari bodies.
"What are you going to do with that girl? Are you kidding me?
"I wouldn't do that. Don't joke about it. This girl will be buried where her family sleeps. Don't miss me."
"Yeah. Maybe that's a good idea. Don't let me stop you from sleeping again."
…………
The brave man turns a blind eye to what Edel put in his lumbar bag. I'm confirming that I put in something that was in the workplace.
"Hey, you. What did you just put in that bag?"
"It's a diary. Russ's diary. I wanted to know how this happened. I was wondering if that would be a clue."
"… I recommend burning it now. It's not funny to see a madman's diary."
"I'll dispose of it when I'm done with confirmation. You were right."
"Right. I know you left that outside road behind because you wanted someone to see it."
The brave keep a diary, too. Did you want to leave something behind on that outer road too? The brave man wonders what would be the difference between himself and that outer path.
I shook my head to the side saying it was immediately ridiculous. I'm a brave man, that's a demon. That's everything.
"Was that Matari? Say hello to that girl. I'm heading straight to the cemetery."
"Then we go home. I will lend this to you. Come and pay me back."
"If I remember. Well, I wouldn't forget your face and personality if I wanted to."
"Yes, sir. I'm not going to forget your flashy pink."
Waving hilariously, the brave signals to Edel. I'm really tired of using too much magic. I feel terribly dizzy.
And the body is stuck with rotten odors. I want to rinse it off right now. I want to lie down. I want to sleep like I'm dead.
"…… Thank you very much."
"Did I say something?
"Hey, it's nothing"
"That would be good. … Bye, Adele."
Without looking back, the brave man leaves the spot. Cologne and Silca approached me and helped me carry Matari.
Seems to take good care of the children's habits. The weary brave man thanked me honestly.
The hypnotic magic didn't seem to work very well, and Matari woke up immediately.
I wanted to fall into bed as soon as I got back to the pavilion, but I would have to make a cash exchange. Keeping the left hand of the outer road close to you is extremely unpleasant.
The brave men told him they were headed to the Warrior Alliance and began walking in heavy footsteps.
