Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

The transferring gate, with its massive decoration, was covered and concealed by blowing soil and smoke.

The sound and light that struck the back of the labyrinth (dungeon) just before is temporarily driving our sight and hearing crazy.

When a severe impact similar to a lightning strike passed, it gradually became possible to recognize the shadow beyond the earthquake.

The shadow never looks too big. Somewhat small, I suppose.

It just doesn't look like it's getting to the ground.

In other words - the person is "floating”.

Over time, the figure of the person (sushi but tatsuo) rises a clear border.

The signal on my left hand that I showed Grace and the others suggested that Clancy's messenger might be hostile. That doesn't mean that just Clancy's messenger showed up.

Having understood the meaning of my signal, Celestia proceeded to shelter me as she began to see the current person. Grace and Sylvia also deploy with their weapons to respond to it.

As I sidelined their combat posture, I double-checked who emerged from the earthquake.

- Even a little further away, I can see that the white beard (Shigeru beard) is stored.

My hair is a little longer and not lighter, but my hair color is white enough to make me feel old.

His face was engraved with deep wrinkles, and judging by its appearance alone, he still looked past seventy years old.

But is it really...?

I met this old man only a few months ago.

And at that time, I listened honestly to what he had told me.

At that time, they believed in what was visible to them.

But what did the "old man” in front of me tell me and do then?

What did I see and hear in this other world?

Who created this current situation -?

With that in mind, I need to be careful what I see and hear.

I don't know what this “old man" talks about - but I shouldn't let the word go to Pelican Swallow.

I “stared” at the person in front of me to make sure I was “invisible", calling myself to be vigilant.

Jill veil...

I called that name in my mind.

A strange strange wizard “old man" I met a few months ago.

And Teng himself pulled a human being named me into this other world.

When the old man admitted to my appearance standing in the front, he distorted his lips to the point of clarity.

There are strangely white teeth peering through my mouth that are completely incompatible with the look of my age.

"- Long time no see."

An old man (Jilbel) called out to me with a wrinkle.

Grace and the three of them look back at me.

But I didn't respond to that word.

I met the old man in front of me - Jill Bale - in The Narrow World and the World.

And Gilbert promised me magic before he moved on to this world (Florence).

It's about keeping a secret of what happened in The Narrow World and the World.

Imposing 'constraints' to protect it and giving it the 'ability' I want - as consideration.

The fact that I met with Jill Bale before is part of the 'constraint'.

I can't tell you what's going on in Constraint.

In contrast, it was "now” that I learned the name of the old man in front of me.

"- Are you Jill Bale?"

If it was in the 'narrow space between the world and the world' that I learned the old man's name, I'm sure my words would have been hooked on 'constraint'.

Jill Baer seemed to notice that I read the status and found out the name.

"Apparently, you're making good use of the abilities you've given."

The words returned touch on what happened within the narrow space between the world and the world.

I covered the area of my forehead for a moment with the back of my left hand with my eyes closed.

Jill Baer looks at it and laughs niggardly, and she speaks to me again.

"I've survived this long enough.

- Growth as expected. "

I have no idea how it was expected.

I gazed at Jill Bale's face.

And for the first time since then, I realize that something is in Jill Bale's hands.

From this distance away, it is not possible to fully identify what is being gripped.

Somehow gripped in his left hand, he looks like a crystal ball.

And what I have in my right hand is...

"Kay, that's -!"

Grace hurried to me when she realized it existed.

When I hold Grace back from trying to keep the words going, I narrow my eyes and figure out what's on Jill Vail's right hand side.

- Definitely.

That's a book.

The moment I realized it existed, Jill Baer raised his right hand with the book.

Then a dull light leaks out of the 'book' as he moves.

It's some kind of magic - by the time I realized that, a strong magic already surrounded me.

Using the light overflowing (overflowing) from The Book as its starting point, the colorless waves spread into the labyrinth (dungeon) in an instant.

The four of us couldn't resist the magic, and in an instant we were swallowed up in a transparent membrane.

But even though I was encircled by magic, it doesn't seem to have a direct physical effect.

Just looking around, it feels like the whole room of the labyrinth (dungeon) is covered with some thin membrane.

"- It's a juncture.

Perhaps we're stuck in this space. "

I shrugged as Grace leaned toward me.

Gilbert gives me a slightly better look, raising his voice (tone) a step higher.

"From here on out, I want to avoid cross spears of the innocent.

They interrupted the spatial magic. "

When I heard the words, I found the old man in front of me.

It's a similar situation to the Father of the Church (Rodney) battle. Even then, I was prevented from escaping from the mansion.

However, if Jilbel is right, the intention of this junction seems to be to prevent the intrusion of other people coming from the outside rather than to hold us back.

I don't know how far this old man knows about my neighborhood.

However, it is likely that Lehne's help with the opening (gate) could no longer be expected.

I didn't mean to go ahead and ask her to give me a hand, but given the time I had, it wasn't a welcome situation to be honest with.

I alternately look at Jill Bale with his mouth crooked and the devil (Aida) who refrains behind that diagonal, throwing questions at him.

"Hey, you.

Can you explain to me what this situation is all about?

There are a lot of things I'd like to ask you. "

Although I asked that question, it is often possible to judge from the circumstances without having to ask.

But I wanted to know what Jill Bale was going to say about this situation.

"Huff - this is a corner opportunity.

Fine, ask me anything. "

Jilbel showed his spare time and soothed his niggling expression as he said so in a good mood.

Unfortunately, the smiling expression is still not good.

I had a slight physiological aversion, but I was relieved and opened my mouth.

"First - I want to ask you about this situation.

It looks to me like you are standing in line with the demon man (the one) who is the 'Arabella Apostle'.

You and that guy, they're both facing us, not each other.

Simply put, you seem to be in a cooperative relationship and in conflict with us.

- Am I looking at you wrong?

I look at Aida and Jill Bale and ask questions that resemble pursuit.

"Yes, do you see it?

It's obvious in the circumstances, but the vague answer came back whether you're going to admit the facts or not.

"I knew you were in a cooperative relationship."

Determined that I would hunt him down, Jill Bale said something there that sounded like a plea for the first time.

"The Lord cannot foresee the state (status) of his opponent at a higher level than himself.

Maybe he's just “fascinated” by Non. "

What he said subtly pokes at my abilities.

As I was cautious, I took the fried leg of the word again and said it back.

"- So you don't deny that you have" fascinating skills ”yourself."

The old man laughs at my words and doesn't send me answers.

When I made sure I never heard back, I showed off my left hand.

There is a magical glow, a “red ring” embedded there.

"He's not fascinated."

"- A ring of charm (ring of charm)?

I see, I have an elaborate thing. "

When Jill Baer shifted his gaze to my left hand, he spit it out like he thought.

The ring of charm (ring of charm) you get in the labyrinth of the abyss (Shin 'en) tells you if you are in a state of charm, regardless of your opponent's level.

The condition (status) of Aida, known through the ring of charm (Ring of Charm), has not become fascinating.

From that point of view, it was obvious that Aida was holding back on Jilbell's side of her own volition.

"The demon man there is not fascinated.

Stop attacking yourself and follow your side.

I mean, you and that guy are in a cooperative relationship.

- But what makes you so cooperative with the Arabella Apostle?

This is my second question. "

In response to my frank inquiry, Jill Bale stares at me silently.

The figure also seemed to conceive of words to answer once and for all.

After a while, when Jill Bale takes his gaze off of me, he changes the direction of his body while it's floating.

I've never seen the magic of flying (levitation) before, but it looked like I could move freely in the air, in keeping with the will of the old man.

"People... corrupt."

I overheard words I didn't imagine as answers.

"- Corruption?"

Jill Baer glances at me and immediately turns back in the right direction.

"- Once upon a time, the Arabellan Apostles ruled this world (Florence).

People hoped that the Arabellan Apostles would leave from this world (Florence), and they accepted Clancy after Arabella left.

People followed Clancy's doctrine and offered their faith to Clancy.

Those who believed in Clancy destroyed the stone statue of Arabella that had been installed all over this world (Florence).

That can also be said to be a separation from the past, which was ruled by the 'demon man'.

As a result, the temple of Arabella was to be devastated and turned into a labyrinth (dungeon).

In exchange, the temple of Clancy was newly built and beautifully managed by the hands of many.

- That's how Clancy thrived. "

Jilbel opened his mouth again after pinching a brief silence there.

It may be my fault, but the narrative is starting to get feverish gradually.

"But - it didn't last long either.

Look at what's happening!

There are only clergy degrees, such as those who properly understand Clancy's doctrine and try to follow it.

When the crisis that was looming upon them left, they forgot their faith and disdained their apostles.

As a result, the temple, which should have been kept beautiful, was abandoned and devastated until it was turned into a labyrinth (dungeon) "

When I heard what Jill Bale said, I remembered the labyrinth of the wilderness.

There was originally set up a stone statue of Clancy - it must have been Clancy's temple.

However, although the interior remained quite beautiful, no one had turned it into a labyrinth (dungeon) where demons (monsters) appeared.

Jill Baer turns to me again, and now she keeps saying the words to me.

"When a person is too biased towards“ happiness, "he forgets the doctrine to uphold, forsakes faith, and corrupts it.

No more respect for the Apostle, just growing.

Assuming that the Arabellan Apostle reappears in this world (Florence) and that our world is ravaged, perhaps people will try to regain their faith and clancy.

But if that threat is removed, I'll forget it again.

There is no gratitude to the people, only to the extent of a disposable “convenience store” such as an apostle.

If there are enemies to defeat, and they are not annoyed by imminent fear, they will easily forget respect, faith, etc. "

Jilbert said so, closing his eyes for a little while so that he could feel himself speaking.

Gilbert hasn't directly answered my question, "Why do you have a cooperative relationship with the Apostle of Arabella?"

I know that the Apostle is not a "godsend”, he is just a “human".

In contrast, what the old man in front of him said was based on the notion that perhaps the apostle was “God's mercy”.

Of course, it is not possible that Jill Bale is a very confident person.

But the cooperative relationship between a man of faith and the Apostle of Arabella is not beautifully linked, no matter what he thinks.

That's why Jill Bale's story is just an excuse.

Assuming the old man's story is an ”excuse"...

Sorting out Jill Bale's story now, I see the possibility that this old man might actually be doing something “outrageous”.

"You...

No way, did you deliberately bring the Arabella Apostle into this world (Florence) to gather Clancy's faith?

Or did you support the Arabellan Apostle coming to this world (Florence)!?

You were the enemy to be defeated for people, the impending fear - that is, you tried to gather faith by bringing demons into this world (Florence) and then using the feelings of people trying to escape.

- Didn't you!?

Hearing my belligerent voice, Grace and the others took a breath and paid attention to Jill Bale's expression.

But he hasn't changed his face at all.

After watching for a while, Jill Baer finally spewed out his objectionable words.

"The Noble Messenger of Clancy."

In those words, I turn away from my face by closing my eyes firmly with a trick that would give me a headache.

Jill Baer, who saw me, laughed lightly.

I guess I realized once again that the 'constraint' that I had imposed was working.

Jill Baer hasn't returned a direct answer to my complaint.

Is he indirectly saying that he would not do such a despicable imitation of himself as a “messenger of Clancy”?

- But unfortunately, I knew that “Clancy's Apostle” could work a despicable act.

"As much as I know that the Apostle is not moving according to God's will, so am I.

Assuming this world (Florence) is in the situation you want, who gets the most out of it?

If a demon crisis arrives in this world (Florence) and faith is gathered in Clancy, who will create a situation in his favor?

It's... it's not a god.

I'm trying to use people's faith, aren't you?

Jill Baer gave a slightly reopened look to my inquiry.

"So, assuming that's the case, how does the Lord answer your own questions?

Why do the Apostles of Non and Arabella, who are not normally in a cooperative relationship, have a cooperative relationship?

Even if Noh creates a crisis in this world (Florence) and gathers faith in Clancy, Noh will not be able to maintain people's faith until he finally defeats the Arabellan Apostle.

Then why would the Arabellan Apostle cooperate with Noun, knowing that he would eventually be defeated?

They don't like it as much as they know they're going to get killed by boulders. "

With each conversation going on, I felt all sorts of events connected in me.

Everything I've ever experienced, told and learned in this world seems to come together in a single line at this time.

I answered Jill Bale's question with certainty.

"We have reason to cooperate."

"Huh - it's just a paranoia, a certainty that can't explain why."

To my words, Jill Baer returns a mockery.

But then again, I affirmed my thoughts.

"No, I'll tell you as many times as I want.

The Arabellan Apostles have reason to cooperate with you.

That's because they don't die. "

――――

Hearing that word, Jill Behr's expression clearly changed.

The look on the old man's face has obviously changed to a “what does the Lord know?" look.

When I saw it and laughed niggardly, I threw the next word for more truth.

"- Better than that, you have a good 'book'"

Maybe he didn't think he'd talk about it there.

Jilbel responded to my words as he wanted to be surprised (a lot).

"Lord...

Do you know what this is "

The fact that it extends to that topic makes Grace unconsciously slightly more forward.

"I don't know. I don't know the details.

But I am well aware of the origins of the 'Prohibition Book'.

The Prohibition Book you're holding was supposed to be disposed of at this Ferim two years ago, right?

Because it was two years ago that you got that Prohibition Book.

And it was also two years ago that the secret art of reincarnation (linkage) was passed on to one of Obert's factions among Arabella's apostles appearing in this world (Florence).

Think of this as a coincidence...?

Thanks to the secret art of rebirth (linkage), a party of overts are fighting unconsciously for “death" in this world (Florence).

If we're just talking about this, we can also say that something completely different happened occasionally (by chance) at the same time - "

When I stop talking there, I turn to Aida, who stands behind Jill Bale.

"But now, on your side with the Book of Prohibition, there is the Apostle of Arabella.

From earlier on, he fell over the edge of the attack and doesn't seem to be conscious of death.

Then it would be more unnatural not to associate these two events.

You give some of Arabella's Apostles the secrets of the rebirth (linkage) that was in the Prohibition Book - a hand in the factional feud of the Arabella Apostles.

And in return, you defeat The Apostle of Arabella and receive the faith of the people.

From your standpoint, I guess it's just a good “deal”.

But it is the people who live in this world (Florence) who are caught up in the struggle by it and who incite it.

Maybe you value faith in God - but from people, it's not your own will, it's just that you're being forced into unnecessary faith.

It inhibits a person's free will, and as a result, it stretches itself to a favorable position -

How do I describe this selfish idea without saying "cowardly"!?

Jill Behr distorted her lips when she heard my pursuit, and then started laughing out loud like she couldn't.

I feel like I've been ridiculed for the sense of justice in me, and the rage that boils in me swirls.

But there's no reason to lack calm here. I still have some questions for Jill Bale.

I take one big, deep breath to cool myself down as much as I can.

Seeing it, Jill Bale spat words like reopening it again.

"None of this is just a play and a saying without proof...

Assuming the Lord is right, what are you going to do?

I return the answer to it as calmly and quietly as possible.

"It has come to light.

I don't have a generous heart enough to miss a lowlife who's got a problem with me. "

Celestia regained her sword by making a statement that anticipated the start of the struggle.

But Jill Bale isn't trying to break his spare expression.

"Though the Noun and the Lord are apostles of his kind...

Still, when it comes to fighting, you think?

There's no way Jill Bale hasn't noticed the Sage Wand I have in my hand.

Maybe this is inviting me to mention the existence of the Devil's Weapon.

"- It's the same thing you can't hurt your own kind."

When I said that avoiding the topic of The Devil's Weapon, Jill Baer returned a subtle and inclusive answer.

"You think it's impossible for someone else to do something that's impossible for you?

――――

Other than "Demon's Weapon," what if a fellow apostle could be hurt -?

In Jilbel's hands is a 'Prohibition Book' with powers outside common sense.

- No matter what you think, Jill Bale's response and what you're talking about, it's not about reconciling with me.

He's trying to expose his evil deeds, fuel my anger, and direct me into the struggle.

For example, it is better to think that the old man in front of you has the ability (or the ability) to harm his own people.

Until now, I believe that Jill Bale's aim is in Grace's treasure trove.

I thought that was why I was putting my boundaries together and keeping Grace from running away.

But if you're only after Grace's "treasure trove," you don't have to create the kind of situation (situation) that would put me in the fight. Either way, it would be easier to get rid of me from the fight and take the 'treasure trove'.

- No, the fact that Jill Bale's aim is the 'treasure trove' will be the difference between.

The problem is that he may not be aiming for "just one thing”.

I spoke to Jill Bale again to reveal it.

"I'm sorry, but I could use to know a little more.

- You just told me, didn't you?

“Growth as expected," he said.

What's the meaning of this word?

In "The World and the Narrows of the World," I am “protected” by this old man by the name of "constraint."

Sure, there's a limit to having to keep a secret, but "Clancy's Constraint" itself is meant to keep my life alive and long.

And in addition to that, I'm given the ability to understand the state of things - even a great advantage.

But Jill Bale is now trying to challenge herself by giving herself the ability to strengthen her opponent.

The answer derived from it is -.

After a moment of silence, Jilbel leaked his laughter as if he could no longer afford to.

And the laugh grew louder and louder.

"Kukukuku - hahahahahahaha!!

It's a corner, so I didn't even tell you.

Nothing will ever come to mind while I have my doubts.

- Lord, if you have lived in this world, albeit for a short time, you will know what you will grow "

What Jill Bale is saying is, of course, not about training like water pumping (ku) miya standing up.

With that in mind, I returned my words.

- You mean defeat the enemy.

"Dear Left,

But if we continue to defeat the same enemy, growth will stop.

This is because the level of enemies you defeat will be relatively low relative to your growing own level.

The level of those present in this world (Florence) is never high. Therefore, we know the limits within which we can grow if we continue to defeat those who exist in this world (Florence). "

Jill Baer continued his words as he smiled at his poor taste as usual.

"But the Apostle is left with another means of growth.

The means to defeat the apostles of the Fae and seize their power.

But many of the apostles of the Fae have strength that can also be called mighty enemies.

Therefore, the act of usurping the power of the apostles of the Fae is accompanied by a very high risk (risk).

But... "

So Jill Baer stops talking and throws his gaze towards me.

(10) The sight of my body made me say this.

If the beauty can stare at you, it is the old man (grandfather) who is still watching you.

I had a physiological aversion that I didn't get to say.

"Non noticed.

What if the Apostle who takes power is not a Fae?

Regardless, the same kind of apostles are annulled by the attack. "

The old man doesn't conclude by just laughing at Niyaniya.

But even if he didn't say it, it was obvious what he was going to say.

- With the power of the "Prohibited Book," Jilbert is trying to take power by defeating the same "Apostle of Clancy".

In other words, the "treasure trove" is not the only one targeted in this setting.

"Me" is also being targeted by Jill Bale.

With that meaning in mind, I ascertained what was happening.

"Well, it's never a coincidence that I met you here."

In response to my confirmation, Jill Bale honestly returns a word of affirmation.

"That's the thing.

From the beginning, the Lord and Noun were to meet again.

Non chose the Lord to carry him to this world (Florence) from “that world”, which would produce a fellow apostle.

Though the Lord may have thought that he was involved by chance, he is not.

And in anticipation of “some” growth, Noon gave you the power to survive in this world, principally "a limited number of additions” and the ability to "spot the incomplete state".

The Lord lived up to his expectations and grew “to a certain extent" and appeared before him.

Your Lord will now...

It has an important role to play in getting people to become food.

――――

I understood the meaning of the falling word as I did a trick to get a headache so severe that I was about to fall into the spot.

Likewise, the look on Grace's face when she heard Jill Bale's remarks is all over the boulder.

Behind my brain was the resurrection of Asrina, who had been fed by a church priest (Rodney).

The first old man in front of him should have been trying to claim his own legitimacy while telling the name of Clancy, God.

But it's blown away somewhere.

“Knowledge" Leda assured me, "If it's Clancy's messenger, it's good, if it's Arabella's messenger, it's evil, etc."

And I recognize that word through the struggle to be true.

Now in front of me is the same 'messenger of Clancy' as I am.

But its existence is nothing more than an attempt to sacrifice everything to satisfy one's own desire for growth.

No longer, because it's Clancy, it wasn't because it's Arabella.

The one in front of me - I should defeat, the "enemy”.

"-So this world for you (Florence) was a food growing place (Plantation)"

"Huh."

Does Jill Bale feel good or has not broken his smiling expression?

I thought there was no need for any more conversation.

But for the last time, there is only one thing left to ask Jill Bale.

- No, I know the answer to this question at the time Jilbel has the Prohibition Book, which remains safe.

This is one way or another - from me, guilty.

"The last - question.

That "Prohibition Book" you have...

How'd you get that?

"- How?

Hearing the question I let go, Grace looked back at me.

This story is very important to her.

I lay down my words again, feeling Grace's gaze.

"The 'Prohibition Book', originally what the demon Yurban was supposed to have.

- Two years ago, the demon Yurban was wrapped in fire with his home at the time of his death and was about to dispose of the 'Prohibition Book'.

But the Prohibition Book, which should have been disposed of that way, is now at your disposal.

Why is that?

――――

Jill Baer does not return the answer.

"I'll say it more plainly.

Yurban is not dead when his home is engulfed in fire.

Yurban probably had the 'Prohibition Book' hidden among his assets (inventory).

If so, the 'Prohibition Book' will never appear unless Yurban dies.

- In other words, the time difference between Yurban's death and the 'Prohibition Book' being engulfed in fire becomes limitless.

Yurban himself should have set his home on fire for it.

But you have a completely unharmed forbidden book.

You know what this means?

You broke into Yurban's house before the fire broke into your home - and you took away the Prohibition Book.

I mean - you “killed" Yurban, who still has a life expectancy,

I took the Prohibition Book. "

Grace opened her eyes without further ado to the words I unleashed.

Jilbel is not trying to change his expression with a smile on his face.

After a slight mismatch, Jilbel was small and spewed out words.

That has been repeated so far, a substantial “affirmation” reply.

"- If so, what are you going to do?

I opened my mouth to Jill Bale.

"What to do is to know -"

After I said that, I threw my gaze at Grace.

The dialogue (line) after this is - Yurban's daughter (Grace) should say.

She felt my gaze, and with that intent she found Jill Bale.

"Absolutely -,

I won't forgive you!!

Using that scream as a starting point, everyone on the spot moves out.

Aida, who Celestia shielded and advanced and withheld behind Jilbell, ran out with an axe.

"Ceres and Grace ask for Aida.

Silvi, come!

Follow my instructions and the three beauties will split into two hands.

I confronted Gilbert, accompanied by Sylvia.

"Come on, it's the fight you want.

Are you ready for this?

To my words, Jill Bale returns a mockery.

"Huh, you can come anytime.

- If you think you can defeat Non. "

When I laughed niggardly at the words, I slapped the demon bullet (magic ball) at the “enemy” in front of me.
