Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

It is for understanding the world view, and does not reflect a fine sense of distance, etc.

Me and Grace and Roberto finished the fight and watched as Celestia and Sylvia fought apart. I was just about to retrieve the possession (more importantly) because they had also planted the giant (Troll).

The Giant (Troll) 's dropped possession bill (more so) was a luminous gem in green. It's about the size of a thumb, but it reflects the light sparkling and beautiful. I'm sure Sylvia would be delighted.

We rendezvous to honor each other's safety and good fight, and we head back to the back of the room with Roberto again.

Roberto was leading us without hesitation, but he stepped out of the room and walked up the stairs.

"The door here is special. You can't open it unless you know the structure."

As I am guided by his words, I gaze at the door.

Whether my ability (or not) is an organism, I can spot that state (status).

I just don't know how to open this door.

That is the attribute and limitation of my abilities.

This ability has so far been very helpful to me in creating a favorable situation.

Even if you end up fighting with magic or weapons, the overwhelming advantage (advantage) that a beginner makes of knowing information is enormous.

But as I grew accustomed to this ability, I also began to realize that it had habits and was not all-mighty.

With this ability, I can grasp a lot of information about the nature, material, size, elements, etc. of a single thing as the state (status) of that thing.

But the combination of things and things - that is, events generated by multiple things are difficult to recognize as states (status). One way or another, it's more unrecognizable.

That's why I can't spot doors and walls that are “locked” together. I often don't even notice the trap that was set up by combining multiple things.

What's more, I can't even spot things like human emotion that are difficult to quantify. Of course, states themselves, such as "exaltation," “fury," “sleep," and "bleeding," can be recognized. But for example, if you say "fury," you can't read any information about who it's angry with or what it's angry about.

Originally, when I came to this world (Florence), I wanted the ability (or the ability) to read the “state” including all of those things. But I can no longer hide that there is a small gap between what I wanted and what I was actually given.

At that time - the old man I met in the narrow space between the world and the world - did say that there was “one” ability to be given.

- But there are two skills in my state (status): "Status" and "Appraisal".

Thinking about it again, it seemed like I could see facts I hadn't seen before.

Weren't I unconsciously using "Status Star" skills when looking at humans and monsters and "Appraisal Star" skills when looking at tools and equipment?

Wasn't my ability to understand the state of every thing actually created by a combination of two highly skilled skills?

I've never seen anyone use "status" or "appraisal" skills in this world (Florence).

But suppose those two skills are just rare, and they usually exist in this world -?

I have always believed that the abilities given to the old man - the Apostle of Clancy - are something quite special that I alone possess in this world.

But if what I'm thinking is true now - it's probably a farce.

"Kay - Kay, are you okay?

Grace's voice, hung from the side, makes me happy.

I looked at the door in front of me and looked at it.

Whether Roberto has already untied the door trick, the door gradually opens.

I totally missed out on how the door opened.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry... I just thought about it.

Roberto, lead the way. "

When I said that, Roberto nodded one thing.

"If we go through here, we're almost to the exit.

The end of the exit is the hunting ground for dragons. It's a magnificent view, so it looks promising. "

Saying so, Roberto smiled as if he was good at it.

As we follow Roberto through the aisle, we see a bright sunny light.

"That was pretty quick. It's good to be out in the sun."

Sylvia smiles satisfactorily. Celestia and Grace smiled as they answered it.

"- Oh? That's crazy."

With that said, Roberto looks forward and begins to lean (hide) his neck.

"What's wrong?

"No, the exit is broken.

I can't get through, so there's no problem. "

Looking at the tip Roberto points to, he does seem to have a collapsed corner of the exit.

Given the narrow exit, it also looked like a sign that something big was forced to pass.

"Does that mean the adventurer collapsed?

"Um, it can't be, but it doesn't make much sense for adventurers to leave for dragon hunting grounds in the first place. Dragon hunting grounds are at risk of being attacked by dragons, and this labyrinth (dungeon) is certainly a better place to make money."

That's what Roberto talks about, while one side carefully climbs up the crashed exit.

I went out and looked around for a while, but I called out to us in the rear to see if there was any danger.

"Sir, it looks fine.

Be careful where you collapse because your feet are loose. "

Hearing it, I head up to the exit carefully.

When I took the exit, I was deprived of my vision by the brightness of my surroundings for a moment.

Covering his eyes with his left hand and blocking (chattering) the light, he gradually begins to see the surrounding scene.

Right in front of you is the meadow as far as you can see.

However, the ground with a wide plane is covered in grass flowers, and various expressions are altered by the flowing wind.

As I looked at it, I somehow remembered the scene when I first stepped down into this world.

"It's just a meadow - don't feel magnificent"

At some point on my side, Celestia stands.

Seeing it, Grace and Sylvia were also silently looking around to see if they were overwhelmed by the scene in front of them.

"This is the hunting ground for dragons."

Roberto says as he looks back at me.

"Dragons emerge from the sky during activity and eat creatures in this meadow.

It's a magnificent and beautiful place, but it's also a cruel place in a way.

So... can you see the other side of the meadow?

Looking at what he had pointed out, there were mountain ranges so far across the meadow that they didn't know how high the altitude was.

"That's the" Mountains of the Out of bounds ”. Within the labyrinth (dungeon) at the foot (foot) of that mountain range is a metastasis gate."

That's what they said. The four of us look at the place Roberto pointed out.

"Out of bounds -"

I shrugged to repeat. Like picking it up, Roberto goes on explaining.

"As the extinct name suggests, that mountain range separates the world. I mean, the front side of the mountain range is this world (Florence), but they don't call the other side of the mountain range Florence.

Beyond the extinct mountain ranges, it is already close to the gabara, but it is said that there is a "kingdom of demons”.

The demon is believed to be coming from beyond that mountain range, through the transfer gates.

Unfortunately, no one actually knows what's going on beyond the extinct mountain range. Therefore, none of the demons' kingdoms have actually confirmed their existence. "

The explanation Roberto gave me is pretty much the same as what I heard from Lene.

But unlike Lene, it's probably the part about whether the speaker himself has actually seen it or felt it.

The five of us were led by Roberto and started walking straight through the meadow.

Even if I say at the foot of the mountain range (at the foot) in front of me, I actually feel quite a distance when I walk.

Unlike the labyrinth (dungeon), we don't see any enemies around us, so everyone is disarmed, except Celestia, who said he wouldn't take off his armor. For that matter, the fatigue caused by walking is small.

But in the beginning, we walked in ridicule for over an hour and were completely silent when the foot (foot) finally approached us.

It's time for the mountains and meadows to start turning red.

- There it is.

To the words Roberto said, everyone lifts their heads, which tended to fall back. When I saw it, there was a big horizontal hole in the rock ahead through the meadow.

"Isn't it well managed?

There's no one standing near the horizontal hole, no sign of anything.

"It's managed, because decorating the outside makes it stand out the other way around. There's a locked door in the hole, but if you care, it's enough to break it."

Roberto answers my questions.

When I reached the side of the horizontal hole, I hit the wedge (wedge) where the door (gate) opened.

That will be all for today, both in time and fatigue.

"Thanks for the guide, Roberto.

That's it for today, let's go back to Io. "

When I said that, Sylvia stretched a lot like the stuck one was broken.

"Uh, I'm so tired of walking.

I'd like to take a bath in Io. "

"Sure, I sweat too"

Celestia was the only one who didn't try to de-alert the bare minimum, so she looks armored. Even though he's working out, he'll be more fatigued than we are.

The sweat that conveys her neck is making her blonde hair stick to her body. Seeing the sweat flowing down my chest, I seriously suggested to Celestia.

"Ceres, I have one good suggestion.

When I get back to Io, I'll flush Celeste's back... "

"Shut up."

My corner favor is immediately rejected.

Sylvia, who saw it, laughed hahaha, forgetting her fatigue.

When the five of us returned to the western city (Io) at the gate, we took a meal across the break.

The women seem to have come sweating during the break. Unfortunately, they didn't have my turn there. Well, I could see you taking a bath, so let's just be patient.

Compared to usual dinners, they chose a relatively sumptuous meal. In the first place, Roberto is welcome. But no one says anything, but tomorrow challenging a labyrinth (dungeon) with a transfer gate is affecting that choice in no small measure.

We're all normal, including bickering during meals. I have no special feelings there.

However, I am prepared in a real sense for what I am trying to do tomorrow. There is a risk of loss of life.

At the end of a longer meal than usual, everyone was to rest early in preparation for tomorrow morning.

The inn room is divided into two rooms, because there is no large room for five people to sleep in.

Once I got back to my room, I quickly dived into bed and left Roberto saying, "I'm going to get a little booze," and went down to the dining room again.

When I asked him about the type of liquor he served in the dining room, he said he only kept barley (beer) and fruit liqueur (liqueur).

If you ask, thank God the Beast Man doesn't have much booze, and no one tries to ask for it even if he puts the strong booze down in the first place.

I had no choice but to ask for barley (beer) and sit in a chair in an affordable place by myself.

"- Still, won't you rest?

I look up at the words hung from the side.

There was Grace who looked only a little unfamiliar there.

She is unusual and lowers her dark hair without putting it up. Because there is usually a lot of masculine clothing, that's all, the atmosphere looks very different.

She sat face-to-face with me and ordered fruit liqueur (liqueur) from the lady she approached.

"Can't you sleep?

I reply to Grace's inquiry with a smile.

"No, unfortunately it's not that hypersensitive.

- I want to double-check if what I'm trying to do is really okay. "

"What does that mean?

Grace was a little surprised by the word "double-check" now, and she came to me with a serious look in my face.

"- Grace, you seem to be pursuing the Devil with purpose, but can I assume that knocking on the transfer gate means getting closer to that end?

Maybe he didn't expect to be asked that question. Grace took her gaze off to think a little.

Just barley (beer) and fruit liqueur (liqueur) are brought in. When I gave the money to serve, I made a small toast with Grace.

"You may not think there's any initiative in this way -"

Grace opened her mouth as she said no. Smiling a little, talking.

"As I say, I am after the devil.

And Kay - I also intend to understand that you are trying to accomplish that together.

The journey in pursuit of Kurt was replaced by a certain word “revenge” which replaced the reason for pursuing the demon.

But this journey to the Transition Gate - I believe that your own will is strongly influenced.

You're trying to knock on the metastasis gate with your thoughts.

I want to accomplish it together if knocking on the transfer gate has your purpose, just as you are chasing the devil with me.

I want to support the choices you make. "

Looking at Grace with a tender eye, I poured barley wine.

What she's saying is an honor to me.

Perhaps Grace will support me even if I make a few wrong choices.

As I pondered the meaning of it a little bit, Grace overwrote the words.

"Why am I after the devil?"

I just cleaned up the word "fate” and couldn't talk about it in detail, so I got here.

But - Kay, forgive me for being sweet with your kindness for a while now.

Until I'm ready to talk, I just need a little more time. "

I'm not going to move on from myself and tell her to tell me everything she has.

Because there's so much I can't tell you in the first place.

Grace's story will surely be told when she thinks she needs it.

When I drank out of barley (beer), I ordered a replacement. Grace sees it and smiles a little.

It's not very good to drink deeply, but I felt like sleeping after I got a little drunk.

Grace goes out with me without complaining about it.

After a while I broke up with Grace and went back to my room and dived into bed.

From the next bed, I hear Ibiki like Roberto's buffalo. Without the booze, I wouldn't be able to sleep.

As I meditated on my eyes, I thought again of what I should accomplish tomorrow.

It is well understood that it is no longer a time to get lost.

That's how I slowly fell into the world of sleep, just as I would pay for the clutter.

- Kay, wake up.

The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of a knock and Celestia's voice.

Get out of bed and open the door to the room making sure the liquor was out last night.

Celestia looked at me and started talking with a serious look on her face.

"I'm sorry for the bummer in the morning.

Weiss, where did you get back to Salita's barracks? "

I frown and ask again.

"To Salita?

"Yeah, I hear something happened in the labyrinth (dungeon) leading to the dragon hunting ground.

Anyway, they're asking me to show my face as soon as possible. "

"- Okay. Let's fly right away. How are Sylvia and Grace doing?

"Sylvia's asleep, but she's ready"

"Then wake up Roberto and go to your room. Wait for me."

When I said that, I literally slapped Roberto, still sleeping comfortably.

- Still, is something wrong?

Dragon Man (Weiss) like that spare chunk (heap) is concerned to use the word ASAP.

When I pulled Roberto out of the room like he was still half asleep, I knocked on Celestia's room.

Looks like they've already finished their assignment and waited for me and Roberto.

When I open the gate quickly, I move to the capital (Salita).

The last time I went back to the West City (Io), I was able to travel fastest by hitting the wedge (cuckoo) in front of the barracks in the capital (Salita). When the gatekeeper is notified of his intention, he is immediately sent inside.

When we walked into the reception room in the barracks, a dragon man (Weiss) appeared slightly faster.

He doesn't seem to have a leopard man (Lentz) this time.

When I tried to exchange morning greetings, the Dragon Man (Weiss) started talking about it.

"Well done.

Quick and bad, but we need to talk.

- There was an incident yesterday evening where several adventurers were attacked in the labyrinth (dungeon) leading to the dragon hunting ground. "

"Incident -?"

Everyone will look strange in words that are not convenient.

"Oh, the labyrinth (dungeon) that leads to the dragon hunting ground has a party that resides until relatively late because of the clarity of the earnings. Two of those parties were hit.

They both seem to have been a foursome party, but not one survived.

Other than that, two more parties have been attacked, five dead people have emerged and two have survived.

This is something we can grasp from the story of the two survivors. "

To sum up the story of the Dragon Man (Weiss), there will be as many as thirteen deaths overnight.

Besides, considering he's an adventurer going into that labyrinth (dungeon), he should have been all adventurers of that strength. I feel like I can tell where the dragonman (Weiss) rush came from.

"What kind of enemy are you?

Celestia asked the Dragonman (Weiss) with a harsh look.

"Few survivors, and we haven't been able to confirm solid information -

I think it was the devil who probably attacked the adventurer. "

All of us breathe in those words.

"Demon Man -!"

A dragon man (Weiss) snorted at Celestia's spilled voice.

"That's why I called you back.

Apparently, the Great Ghost (Auga) came out at first. Every party seemed alarmed because they thought they could take it down without a problem.

But there's only one of those big ghost (orga) herds that's different.

He said he looked like he was halfway between a big ghost (an orga) and a human, had an axe and spoke human language.

Most adventurers got hit by one. "

Roberto and Celestia are nodding (nodding) with a serious look at the words of the Dragonman (Weiss).

But me, Grace, and Sylvia - they couldn't even snort at what the Dragon Man (Weiss) described.

"Kay, no way -"

Silvia with a stunned expression leaks the word.

Yes, the way the three of us thought of it, we tried and risked our lives to fight -

He looked very much like King of the Great Ghosts (Gino).
