215 Episode 215 "End Of Trip, New Friends, Arrangement For Return".Txt
Then we rode the chariot back to the Sumi-Iro Valley, where we camped all day today and will return to town tomorrow.
We'll camp here for the day and return to town tomorrow.
When we return to the valley, we take a break in front of the cave.
While there's still time, I decide to check out Lord Death in his Demon King's Armor.
...... just in case I'm treated as the owner, can I see the status?
Lord Death's skills are "Transformation", "Magic Supply" and "Self-Renewal". The other skills are magic and physical defense.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
...... I thought that was why the Elderslime inside it would last longer.
The Elder Slime that Rafilia splits up usually lasts only about two hours. Because the slime that was split up is alive by consuming magic power.
But the slime I put in Lord Death is always ready to replenish its magic power thanks to the 'Magic Supply' skill. It's been half a day since I put it in, but it's still going strong. Maybe it won't disappear as long as it's inside Lord Death.
''It's amazing! I've been with the slime that I split up, haven't I?
Rafilia was overjoyed because the messenger was now able to last longer.
''Since we're going to be splitting up, we're going to split up another one. We have many friends.''
...... Rafilia-sama. I already have two slimes inside me, that I have.
In front of the Bone of the Tail cave, the horse-shaped Death shook his head in annoyance.
I put my hand on his back.
You know what, Officer Death.
"Yes, my lord. My lord.
Can't you just partially transform and shoot slime out of your body?
What do you expect me to do?
No, I was just wondering if I could do it.
I can, sir, but...
You can do this? As expected of the Demon King Armor. It's a cheat item by default.
Then you can put a lot of slime in Lord Death's ...... in case of an emergency.
Don't let ...... your dreams get too big. ......
'One more thing. What about transforming and compacting?
I can do it, that I can.
Chariot too?
'Of course! I'll show you, that I will!
Shaky. Crunch!
Lord Death and Chariot transformed into a box shape.
It even has a string so that it can be carried on your back like a backpack.
The image is ...... like a box that holds the holy fighting warrior's constellation armor that burns up a small universe inside his body.
This would be easy to carry around though .......
'Aine. Can you put Lord Death in your 'sister's treasure box'?
I have to try.
Okay, Lord Despicable?
"Of course you should try it, that you should.
Activate. 'My sister's treasure chest'!
Shoo.
Lord Death and Chariot are gone.
I'm in.
「「「「「「 oh oh oh oh 」」」」」」
Me, Cecil, Raphilia, Iris, and Cutlass. Even Lila screamed.
That's really handy. Lord Death and Chariot.
Chariot's travel speed is faster and he can run on bumpy roads without shaking.
Lord Death doesn't have a limit on the hours of operation. Of course, I'm taking breaks with everyone else.
But this makes our journey a lot easier.
Combined with Cecil and Rafilia's magic, we can fight while moving fast. Cecil can cleave off enemies with lasers while Chariot runs through at great speed, or Rafilia can rain down arrows.
...... It's scary to imagine.
'But I wonder what would have happened if this Lord Death had been in the hands of the Demon King.
The Demon King's Armor (Maou Yoroi) is high performance, high fighting power, and even higher mobility.
Lord Death himself has a gentle nature, but he's very serious, so he can't say no when ordered to do something.
If Lord Death and Chariot had been in the hands of the Demon King's real body and attacked at the head of the demons, it would have been ...... quite a mess, wouldn't it?
''You know what, Lord Death,''
I let him out again and patted him on the back.
"I'll try not to push you too hard, so I'm looking forward to working with you.
"Yes, nice to meet you, that I do!
I'll take good care of him.
Don't let the Death Lord fall into the hands of the Demon King's real body.
Then we spent the night in the Valley of the Sumi'iro.
At night, when Laila was asleep, Uriera-Grace came out.
She said she wanted to talk to us, so me, Aine, and Rafilia decided to have an evening tea party. We went out of the cave and built a fire so as not to wake up Cecil, Iris, and Cutlass.
Uriella-san drank the tea that Aine had brewed and thought for a while...
I think I'm going to try to exist in this world a little bit longer.
She said it in a whisper.
She said.
I was forced to do this, but I have caused trouble for my descendants.
I want to apologize for that. I want to do something useful for the world.
So, can you introduce me to someone who can create a golem for ...... souls to enter?
I've talked to Lila about it. She will help me with it. Would you be willing to help us, Master?
Of course.
I'd like to spend some more time with you, Uriella.
Rafilia opened her arms and hugged Uriera-san with her arms outstretched, gaba.
But why am I hugging you too? Isn't that the emotional scene between the sisters?
Thank you, ...... master.
'...... Raphilia. Oops, this body belongs to Lila, so ...... my nose is bleeding.
Uriera-san smiled as she wiped the blood from her nose, her face refreshed.
Therefore, I couldn't say anything for a while either...
Ms. Rafilia, take turns. Bring Nah-kun over here.
'Oops, I'm sorry. Miss Aine. Come in.
─ For some reason, it remained that way until Aine passed me and hugged me.
The next day after the first night, we returned to the "northern town of hermit".
Nothing happened on the way back.
The back roads are too narrow to use the chariot.
So we relied on Laila's navigation and Iris's "brilliant stroll" to make our way smoothly.
The Original Brave Men's Guild did not appear.
The mountain stronghold they are said to be occupying is also deserted now.
Do you see any signs of life at the fort? Fynn.
"There's nothing. No lights on, no sign of anyone moving.
We stopped halfway through and asked Fynn to scout out the area.
Feen, who has a magical body, flew us to the top of a tall tree. He looked at the fort from there, but ...... really, there was apparently no human movement at all. There were no lights on and no movement of people. He said there was no people at all on the mountain road that passes near the fort, either.
Then let's take a ...... shortcut.
'Yes. Arujido.
So we moved to the wide mountain road that the townspeople usually use.
We summoned Lord Death and Chariot while Fynn scouted the area.
Then we went down the mountain at once, being careful not to be seen.
''Well then, Aine, Cutlass and Lyra-san, go report the completion of the quest to the Adventurer's Guild. Cecil and Rafilia should stay at the ...... inn. Me and Iris, let's go make arrangements for a ship.
After returning to the northern city of Hermilt, we split into three groups.
Aine and the others went to the Adventurer's Guild.
Iris and I dropped Cecil and Rafilia off at the inn, and then headed to the harbor.
''Look, big brother. Ilgafa's ship is still docked at the harbor.''
Good. You're not done with him yet?
Ilgafa's ship would get us back to the sanctuary in no time.
Me and Iris hurried hand in hand to the harbor.
'Oh! Illi - no, Mr. Melody the Mystery Thief. Welcome home!
'Regular Captain. Thank you for being in the harbor.
Me, Iris, and the captain of the Ilgafa's regular soldiers bowed together.
We told the captain and captain that we were done with our business.
'I see! We've just finished unloading our cargo. Now we are resting the boat people. The day after tomorrow, we are scheduled to return to Irgapha via the resort.
So, can I get a ride?
'Of course! On the other hand, if you are unaccounted for, my lord will be worried about you .......
I'm sorry to hear that.
That's good.
I was wondering how we were going to get the boat back.
The chariot ride from here to the retreat is going to be ...... conspicuous, you know.
''Speaking of which, where are the wind spirit mages?
I asked the captain of the regulars.
"There's something I need to talk to you about. Can we meet?
They'll be in the harbor warehouse. We'll be using it as a resting place while we're anchored.
My question was answered by the captain.
But ...... mages in a warehouse in the harbor, you say?
This town is a place to keep an eye on wizards, that's why the two wind spirit mages didn't want to come ashore. I wonder what's going on.
I decided to go see them.
I decided to go see them. Welcome back, adventurers!
Excuse me for the other day.
The Wind Spirit Mage and the others stood up hurriedly when they saw me.
There was a picnic sheet and a rolled up blanket in the corner of the harbor warehouse. The Wind Spirit Mages were lying there drinking tea. It looks like they're on vacation.
''No, no, we're the ones who are sorry to be on vacation. I had something I wanted to tell you both.
I bowed my head lightly and said.
''Actually, it looks like the 'Original Heroic Guild' is ...... falling apart in mid-air.
"What about ......?
The two of them looked puzzled.
I told them about a scene I happened to see when I was walking along the mountain path.
The leader of the Original Brave Men's Guild, Jors-Korsaka, called a demon to a village and caused a lot of trouble. The demon was defeated, but the angry villagers beat him to a pulp.
Also, the wizards who occupied the mountain stronghold are gone.
This is the information I received from Aine and the others who went to the Adventurer's Guild through 'True Consciousness Sharing'. The guild's receptionist told me when I reported Lila's quest achievement. She said that all the wizards occupying the mountain fort had left and had already gone away.
''So I thought it would be better for you guys to take off the 'Original Brave Guild' emblem and try to stay out of it as much as possible.
"[............]
The two Wind Spirit Mages looked at each other, and then
''Oh, thank you very much!
I bowed so deeply that my head touched the floor, but I didn't have to go that far.
I can't believe you're concerned about us after such a rude thing.
I won't sniff anymore. This coat of arms is also ...... expensive, but ...... I'm going to crush it and sell it as bullion.
Surprisingly tough. Wind Spirit Mage.
I'm glad to hear it. I'm glad you understand.
Hey, are you sure this is safe to come here? I heard that this town looks down on wizards and has a vested interest in them.
Yeah, that's why they didn't say anything.
'There are some town guards there, but they don't seem to have any interest in us.
...... Is that so?
Has the disappearance of the "Original Brave Men's Guild" loosened your guard?
That's fine, then.
'Thank you, sir. I'll be back on the return boat.
Nice to meet you, sir.
Me and Iris told the wind spirit mage and left the warehouse.
...... and ...... ah
............ Mmm?
As we left the warehouse, we ran into a patrol guard.
He was the one who had been giving me a hard time when we got off the ship.
He snapped at me, and then he snapped at me.
Is there something you want to tell me?
...... Huh.
'I know. You're asking what happened to the rules for keeping tabs on landed wizards!
No, I didn't ask you about that.
Why do I look like I'm biting down on a bitter bug?
...... Right now, my lord is going to the royal capital.
To King's Landing?
Yeah, so there's no need to monitor them now.
Is that so?
"Listen, think about it. We can't just push around a wizard without a lord. If a problem arises, we have to solve it ourselves. Who would want to bear such responsibility? Use your common sense. Totally.
With that, the guards left in a hurry.
'...... How nice of you,'
...... Isn't that brilliant?
Me and Iris could only look at each other and laugh bitterly.
In the end, the 'Original Heroic Guild' spontaneously disappeared.
The lord of this town has also gone to the king's capital, and the discrimination against wizards has subsided for once.
But ...... I'm curious about the fact that the lord who was discriminating against wizards has gone to the royal capital.
I hope something weird doesn't happen over there, though.
Maybe we should meet up with Rita and Letitia as soon as possible.
With that in mind, we spent two nights at an inn in the 'northern town of Hermilt'.
With the discrimination against wizards settling down, Cecil, Raphilia and Lila-san were able to settle down and do some sightseeing.
Lila-san would occasionally swap places with Uriella-san and go for walks and shopping with Raphilia.
Aine would take Iris and Cecil to the market in this town to shop.
Me and Cutlass passed the time by analyzing and researching the abilities and uses of the Demon King Armor Lord Death's abilities and uses.
And so the time we spent in the northern town passed by in the blink of an eye...
'Then we must sail! Have you all forgotten anything?
「「「「「「 yes 」」」」」
On the morning of the second day, we boarded the boat and headed for the "sanctuary Micheline".
When we got to the other side, we all went to the Labyrinth of the Saints.
