Episode 4: Rumors of the Devil

Rent a long table at the tavern and face each other separately at the party.

It was a party of five people escorting the ship.

Delac is a fighter and leader.

Two archers and two wizards.

It's a party biased toward ranged attacks, but their specialty is escorting the ship. It was a unique configuration on the ship that ended when melee combat became necessary.

He used to be a famous adventurer escorting people around the Principality of Issugalia.

It is painful for the country to lose access to the Glenvarga Empire. I accepted the request with the intention of helping, but although I struggled quite a bit, I could not defeat the next appearance of the sea moon.

"So, what do you want to hear?

"What was the moon you used to call the Devil?

"What are you going to do knowing that?"

Purpose. I need a little information to know what to do. "

Delac is thinking with his arms around him.

Even if you were suddenly asked to disclose information, you could not open a heavy mouth even if you were given a reward.

"I knew I was troubled by that sea moon monster. I'm not going to take the lead, but if it's going to be our enemy, I'm going to take it."

"What happened to you....."

I can do it.

I have that much power.

However, there is no point in knocking down the split, and it is necessary to knock down the main unit.

We also needed information to find the main unit.

"Very well. I'll tell you about the Devil. At first, nobody imagined this would happen."

About six months ago, we only found a ship with a hole in its bottom at sea.

Although there were signs of someone aboard the wreck, we were unable to locate them or even get a clue as to what happened.

"The boat came out of a nearby port a few days ago."

It has been confirmed that the crew was safe until a few days ago.

Now, where have the people on board disappeared?

Over the next three months, there was progress where similar incidents occurred several times, but nothing was known.

We finally found a survivor.

A ship where all but one disappeared.

Only one boy survived, but the crew fled in a small lifeboat when it was attacked by the sea moon. However, only the boy apprentice who was engaged in miscellaneous work in the back of the ship was left behind because he was late to notice the noise.

I had no choice but to jump into the sea and drift around with my eyes on the wreckage.

Because only one person fled in another direction, Kaiyue chose to attack the people who fled by lifeboat rather than the boy, thanks to which only the boy was saved.

--That's "The Devil."

I managed to find out from the boy who was sick because he was attacked by a sea moon monster.

The sea moon melts the ship. However, the melting was not confined to the ship but extended to people, who were close enough to see the melting from afar without traces.

The sight was enough to leave a deep wound in the boy's heart.

"The ship we were on might have been fine because it's state-of-the-art, but it's like it melts when we touch them."

It was actually melted, but I didn't notice it because it was an underwater incident.

"If we had fallen into the ocean, we might have been melted."

I added more guards after I knew what was going on.

Still, if you encounter it, you will survive only slightly.

Some of the words of the first surviving boy came to be called "the devil."

"Honestly, I don't know what to do. If encountered, release arrows and magic to keep them away from the ship. I thought we could fight pretty well on the ship."

If the sea snake hadn't appeared, the ship would have sunk.

Delac finally accepted the reward because he knew it.

"That's all we know."

There seems to be no further information and there is no additional information from my associates.

The finished Delac throws a leather bag full of gold coins. However, the contents of the leather bag have not changed.

"What are you doing?

"This kind of information can also be shared with the Adventurers Guild. It's not enough to get paid for information."

Becoming a high-ranking adventurer will give you information from the Adventurer Alliance who wants to resolve the situation.

I see.

All you have to say is get up and give the owner of the pub a gold coin.

"Hey."

"Let me buy you a drink."

If the request is not a complete success, you will want to abstain from drinking.

One gold coin is too big for the liquor price, but I think it was worth the price because I got the information.

"What do you think?

Melissa asks as soon as she leaves the tavern.

"Looks like it was a split one that attacked the ship."

Even if you defeat it, it will appear next.

There are ways to increase the number of fragments in some way, replenishing the energy needed to operate by attacking people.

"Normally, if you can see it melting, it's melting by poison, like a lysate, but the way the devil uses it is completely different."

If it is dissolved in a dissolved solution, it is not strange that any trace remains.

However, if there are no traces left, another means can be envisaged, and if one considers that the devil is made of soul material, one possibility emerges.

"Demons are attacking people and absorbing them at the soul level."

It is similar to a labyrinth influenced by a curse that decomposed monsters created from the magic of the labyrinth into magic and absorbed them.

"If left alone, it could be a terrible thing."

The same conclusion seemed to have been reached in England, causing headaches.

It has become too much for ordinary adventurers.

"The question is, are we supposed to be involved?"

I could have helped you if you were free this time.

But I have a concern.

"Welcome."

When entering the Adventurers Guild in Nosworthy, ignore the requested bulletin board and go to the receptionist's counter.

"Um...."

If we get close to the counter with a large number of six people, it will shrink.

I didn't mean to atrophy you, but if you show me a card that proves that all six of you are A-ranked adventurers at once, the receptionist's expression will change.

"What can I do for you?

All six are limited to A-ranked adventurer parties.

A professional receptionist changed her expression into something serious in an instant.

"Is there anything unusual going on in the capital, Winkia, or in the Principality of Issugalia other than the Devil?"

Michelina, the 'Virgin', continues to be unreachable.

The appearance of the 'Devil'.

I don't think it has anything to do with anything.

First of all, if she's in trouble, we'd better check her safety.
