Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

"............ I see"

Apply more force to the hand squeezing the knife.

Perhaps it is understandable that the boy's behavior earlier carried something that he did not even bother to call a heavy stone sword and restricted his own movement.

But he took it away, and received the sword of the man, no, the sword.

And I'm in the hall to figure it out. Maybe, but the original owner of that double knife is a boy.

(So you didn't mean it like you were serious until just now........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Then I will do everything in my power to prepare the Letter Magic.

(What you should be aware of is speed. I don't know how heavy that sword was, but seeing as I was following Red Lori's movements, you'd better think that was the least of them...)

Don't distract yourself from the boy, turn your right hand behind your body and write the letter 'Speed' on your body. It was set as "Installation Characters".

You noticed that this one used magic, too, and it conveys your heightened vigilance.

"Wait a minute, kid."

Yes, Lillin said it against the sun color.

"What? I'll do it with him. Don't touch me."

If we were to sidestep the todome, we wouldn't get any experience. For Japanese colors who want to level up crisply, fighting strong enemies is more of a wish or a fulfillment. There are just too many level differences to fight Lillin, though I'd prefer not to.

"Just wait. I need to ask you a few questions."

That said, she turns to the boy.

"Hey, why are you obstinately rejecting intruders? This desert is not yours alone."

Her questions were particular. I had heard rumors that they 'Asura' were eliminating intruders, but I thought that was simply because they didn't like the territory being vandalized.

I said I wouldn't rough up the desert either. But when I say we move on from here, I refuse to do so. Lillin would have asked if there was anything going on in the desert.

"What do you guys know about nothing, you know how we feel!

A man suddenly came out of anger and yelled at me. But he returns the words so that his anger is channelled in a strange pretense.

"Hmm, are you an idiot? I guess that's why I'm asking. Answer me now."

"Become! Xama!

Then a boy who was nearby puts his hands up sassy to control him. I realize what the trick means, and I have no choice but to say my mouth.

And the boy turned to Lillin and said, "... okay.... talk," he gives a slightly darker look and opens his heavy mouth.

"In this desert... yeah, in the desert that went from here into the back... there's a monster living there. Intruder... pisses him off... no. We... trouble. So...... get rid of it here"

It was difficult to understand because of the unique way of speaking, but then I heard a little more about it and the sun colors summed it up on behalf of me.

"I mean, you 'Asuras' are preventing the entry of those who know nothing so as not to piss off that desert monster, right?

"Yes."

"And that monster is so tough, that we can't handle it on our own?

"Nobody... I don't want you to die"

Fight without sacrifice, or you may be able to defeat it. But the "Asuras" are few in number, and there are old people and children.

We cannot risk our lives, especially the children responsible for the future. That's why we live secluded so we don't inspire desert monsters.

"But then we should just get out of the desert, right?

It was the man who answered the question of the colour of the day.

"I can't do that."

He is biting his teeth while making a sinister look.

"Why?

"The desert is our home. It's a clan that lives with sand and dies with sand. Above all............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Don't throw that away."

There is a settlement of the 'Asura' near here, and they have long lived with the desert.

And some have died here, no matter what. I made graves for such people. The place is said to have been built in the midst of crawling through a large rock called "Tombstone Rock."

"The Asuras" value the ties of the clan above all else, and are also a race that weighs the dead. It is normal to be a wreck if you die, but I truly believe that the soul will return to the clan.

Throw away the grave where the dead sleep and insist that they cannot leave the desert.

"Then why don't we just move each of those graves?

"Don't say you can't. Can you do something like uncover a grave like that!

Surely there's no way they would weigh the dead more than buried the dead there once, like digging them up and moving them around.

"Besides, it's also for you guys not to let us through here! You'll never be outnumbered by that monster! If you don't want to die, you just get out of here!

"Say no."

"... what?

I was also surprised that Nippon Color gave an instant answer, but I am stunned that the answer was a rejection.

"Why do we have to change paths for monsters like that?

"So, that's why I'm telling you! I don't care if you fight monsters and die! But because of that, he's telling me what to do if the monster's anger turns to us!

"Well, I wish I could have done that."

"Nah... you can say that because you haven't seen him! It's too late to piss him off and then try to escape!

"Say it again and again. We go through here. If you want to interrupt, push through."

"Come on!"

The man in the ox abominably stares at the sun colour he does not listen to, but only the boy beside him was sending an emotionally invisible gaze at the sun colour. And a boy puts his hand on the shoulder of a man whose shoulders are trembling with anger.

"Oh, the long...?

"... back off"

"Oh, I see."

I listened to the boy and gave him the spot.

"Hey, Red Lori, I'll take care of him."

"... I don't mind, but I don't know if they're willing, do I?

"What?"

Then the boy delivered the double knife he had in his hand to his sheath.

"What are you going to do? So you're saying we can go through here?

The boy stares at the sun color again. And open your mouth quietly.

"I really... go?

"Oh, it's so hard to detour."

"............ ok. Then... I'll follow you"

"What?"

"Oh, chief! Is that okay?

The man also shouts out surprise at the boy's words.

The boy nods small, indicating that he is serious.

"... ok. Then I'll go back and tell my people about it."

"Hmm... be careful"

"Yes, then."

As the man leaves the scene, the boy turns his face here again.

"Name...... delayed. Me... Camus. Here's the head of the 'Asura tribe'...... doing it"

Watching him say pale without expression is so young that I don't think he is very much the head of the clan.

"Demon Nation," so even if you're not as old as you seem, you can't help wondering if you're really long when you see a boy who's not so different from you.

"I'm going to the address now...... follow. So... I want you to judge me."

"Judgment? What?

"... of monsters... scared"

That was the first time I saw a flame burning quietly behind his eyes. That was undoubtedly a raging light.

I also thought he was a person who lacked emotion, but he has considerable anger for monsters.

Think about whether the sun colour will follow Camus with arms together and with great care.

It was certainly one of the aims of the journey to see the settlement of the 'Asura'. He said he would guide me, so I thought this might be a wish. Although vigilance cannot be relieved.

"Isn't that nice?

That's what Lillin says, but the sun color turns its gaze to others once and for all.

Siuba snorted back with a slight grin, and Shamoe seemed unable to go by Lillin's side about how things were going.

Regardless of Shamoe, the two seemed to have nothing wrong with following.

If it's Lillin's strength, how many of his opponents have ambushed him, he'll be able to perceive it sharply and return it, and he won't even care.

"Okay. Then let me show you around."

The cocky boy nodded and walked out with the suncolors on his back. His people also take a position behind it and walk out with it.

(Desert monster...... still pretty strong I guess)

Camus, who is supposed to be strong, behaves like that, so he decides that he will be so fierce as to be beyond his control if he runs out.

I approached Siuba as I walked and asked him if he had any information about the monster, but he didn't know either. At the same time, Lillin, who had heard the question, replied that she did not know either.

"Isn't that interesting? This kind of stimulation is pretty good."

"Don't tell me you were pulling it off."

"Mm... okay kid! The eagles have eagle ambitions and they were just there! Don't forget that!

He pokes his finger at me and says it, but he glances lightly half-eyed and recieves it and laughs with his nose.

"Well, more than that, from you, how was he?

"Hmm? What, are you curious? Hmm?"

I'm slightly angry because I hear you laughing nastyly with Muffle.

Answer me.

"Huhun, right, he was the head. Um, let's just say I do have to call myself the chief."

"Well, that's all you have?

"Don't fall in love. I thought you actually understood that.

I actually figured out a little bit how strong Camus was. Neither of them were serious, but I know they have considerable strength.

"Perhaps your physical abilities alone have no winning eye. And it's a mystery about his magic. Might as well not be Tyman over there, huh?

They make faces and put out words with Niyaniya in a fun way.

"Don't be ridiculous. Fight and I'll win."

"Kukuk, I don't know where that confidence comes from... well, when that match materializes, we're gonna have a great time. Kukukuk."

At that time, I was just saying that I would identify the true strength of the sun color.

Indeed, she was raving about revealing her qualities wrapped in the veil of the mystery of the sun on this journey.

If you observe closely where you fight, it's about her, she'll be naked and not in a good mood.

(If you want to do it, do it, you have to gauge when he's not around)

So determined, I stared at Camus's back walking ahead.

A delightful sight came into my eyes as I walked for a while, even though I put my face against the sweat that erupted from my forehead because of the shining sun.

"Is that... an oasis!

I thought it might be a mirage, but I was horrified because it seemed to be visible to the Lillins as well.

At the same time, my stomach growls. I've been walking a lot, and I'm losing strength. The warning sounds from my stomach when it's time for noon.

"That's... the address"

Camus points to the oasis. Apparently I thought I could take a slow break.

Is it roughly the size of a Tokyo dome? Only that part of the green is born, and the presence of the pond is visible to the eye. By its pond was a building like a gel inhabited by Mongolian nomads.

(Don't look at Gel the first time... you're bigger than I thought)

Incidentally, a gel is circular, with a frame supported by a central column (two), and a beam is passed radially from the center to the roof portion. This covers a sheet made of sheep's hair and is equivalent to a roof/wall.

It has a space roughly four to six meters in diameter. Its gel and a few of its similar residential objects are built alongside it.

"Ah, it's Camus Camus!

"Really!

"Camus camus!"

We all rush over to Camus wondering if a few kids came out of Gel. Camus kneels down and aligns himself with the child's gaze. Look at the camus being held by the kids one after the other.

(Much admired by the kid)

Staring at the sight in front of me, I feel a little nostalgic.

When I was in a child care facility, the oldest day color was often entrusted to take care of other young children.

I laugh bitterly remembering that he had also done it reluctantly, but had also been saved by the glare of the child's innocent smile.

"Oh, hey, hey, Camus, Camus! What about these guys?

When one of the children asks that, an adult woman who came beside Camus in the same way draws attention.

"Come on, say" Chief "!

"Yeah, because, Mom, Camus is going with this!

"Yes, they do!

"I guess Camus Camus is Camus!

The children simultaneously give oral answers to adults. The grownups sigh loudly and shrug their shoulders, for Christ's sake. A man who should have gone back there shows up.

"... long"

If you look closely, there was another person with you beside it.

The appearance was old man with enough wrinkles to make the moon feel. Just keep your eyes closed all the time. There's a burn-like wound spreading around both eyes, but that's probably why I can't open it, even if I want to. Besides, my right leg is prosthetic.

"Ji-chan... what's the story?

"Um, I'll listen to you."

Answering Camus's question, he approached the suncolors with a slow trick and raised his face.

My eyes are definitely not open, but I'm staring at the sun color.

And he moves Lillin's face to confirm its existence.

Also, I didn't miss the day color where I moved Pickle and Eyebrow when Lillin. Once again, the old man turns his face to the sun.

He stared back at his opponent's face even as the sun color frowned.

"... I see, they seem like interesting people"

Smile as you make more wrinkles on your wrinkle-coated face.

"I asked Jin-woo about Kamu, but what if he told me that even if I showed him that sight, he'd still move on?

"At that time... I'll stop you.... life... even hanging"

Then the old man puts out his words laughing with pleasure.

"Ho, ho, I can't do that."

"Uh... why?

I never thought you'd say that, so I'll be Kyoton.

"Camus, you're strong. It may have grown to unbeatable proportions by previous generations. But yesterday..."

Now I turn my gaze to Lillin, who is smiling meaningfully as I close my eyes.

"Except for me."

"... alle?

Camus turns his gaze to Lillin just like the old man.

And Lilyn, speaking, raised her nibble and mouth angle as she put her arms together.

"That's a saying, isn't it... Shivan?

I was surprised not only by the colour of the sun, but also by the siuba and shamoe, to that word.

Probably familiar, but I could understand that Ciuba didn't even know it was a long time ago.

And earlier, I also found out what Sivan meant when she looked at Lillin and reacted curiously.

"I know...... jicha?

"Well, I never thought I'd see you again in a place like this. Wow."

"That's this line. I didn't know you were still alive."

"Ho ho ho, don't let the Lord tell you"

"Hey, did you know him?

Continue snorting "oh" at the sun-colored words.

"A little back in the day. Shivan, you look a lot older."

"How many years have you been thinking since then? Well, your lord is as he was then."

"You know what I mean?

"With voice and atmosphere. I've become sensitive to nature and that kind of thing since I first saw this eye."

"... what happened to those eyes and legs?

I heard Lillin with a serious look as she narrowed her eyes.

"... if I could, I wouldn't have been known to the Lord"

"That's on the monster too...?

"Goodbye."

"Someone like you...?

"Ho ho, that doesn't mean I couldn't beat the annual wave that stops by. Unlike your Lord."

"Well, it's about you anyway. Is that the wound you suffered as a result of sheltering your footsteps?

"Jicha..."

When Shivan tries to disprove something, Camus pinches the word to block it.

"Jicha... protected me... just me. I was... weak..."

For the first time my face, which was faceless, is sadly frowned upon.

But the words showed the cause of Shivan's wounds.

When Camus was about to be attacked during the battle with the monsters, I guess Shivan went in to help. But I don't know if it was a monster attack, but it created a wound that lost both eyes and his right leg.

"Camus, it's the chief's duty to protect our family. I'm not a former director, either. And now you're the head of this clan. Don't let the chief look so sad."

You're not supposed to be seeing it, but you're feeling it. Shivan embarrasses him.

"Always be resolute, be a man who can be counted on by anyone"

"Yeah... okay... sorry"

"Then it's not that easy to apologize."

Shoulder to shoulder to sigh a little.

"Shivan, what is a desert monster? Why don't you get your hands on it? If you're just strong... No, even if it's a Rank SSS monster, you'll figure it out if you bundle up. You can't move because you have a grave. Misleading doesn't work on eagles. Tell me the real reason."

Those around him look out for Lillin's words. Of course, the sun color was the same. I wonder if that story wasn't the real reason, and I turn my gaze to Lillin like everyone else.

Most of the 'Asura' hits Lillin with an alarming gaze, but she stares at Shivan without even putting that gaze or anything on her nose.

"... after all, can't you hide it from the Lord? It's been really abominable for a long time, you lolibaba."

"Hmm, let's even attract you to dreams of burying you in a woman's underwear again and dying of suffocation, fucking serious jizz"

Face to face with each other, with sparks scattered between them. Those around them breathe unexpectedly when they feel the air tense.

By the way, the sun color and Siuba were quietly watching what happened.

(Or the Red Lori guy, who made that yobo yobo do something I don't know about)

Buried in a woman's underwear and suffocated, I may accept as a delight according to people, but the sun color was absolutely lame.

And Lillin and Sivan laugh out loud as that state continues for a while and smiles slightly at each other.

"Ho ho ho"

"Kukukuku"

Those around them are flattered that the atmosphere has softened at once.

"Follow me. Guests. I want to show you something."

Walk away for cuttlefish and somewhere. The suncolors decided to follow suit.

It was one gel that was guided (the residence of the 'Asura').

Unlike the others, it was about three times bigger. When I went in there, I got the smell of blood and disinfectant on my nose that would stumble on my face.

There were about ten men and women lying on several beds made of grass and leaves.

It's not just sleeping, everyone's body is bandaged and blood seeps in. If you look closely, you will also see spots everywhere that would have stained the ground with blood.

Seeing the sight, I could see Shamoe covering her mouth with both hands, shaking small. Lillin is also frowning uncomfortably.

"That's one of the reasons why I can't move out of here."

One or two of us will be able to carry it somehow.

But it is understandable that it is no easier to carry than there are nearly ten seriously ill people here. From what I hear, some people are too dangerous to move.

"Regardless, it's not true that we don't want to move the dead buried in Tombstone Rock near here."

"You don't have any wound pills?

The sun colour speaks of what was questionable.

"Of course there is, but apparently the wounds inflicted on desert monsters are hard to work with... and we need to find other settlements, herbs, etc. outside the desert to get the wounds. It's hard to tell anyone who can fight here now."

I thought so. Surely there would be no such thing as herbs growing in the middle of a desert like this.

You need to leave the desert to get it, but violent monsters come out, and if you're going to other settlements, it's going to take time, and you need to move quite a few powerful people.

But the "Asuras", who are not originally very numerous, seem to have few strong men like the Camus. Considering the role of inhibiting intruders and if desert monsters have been stripping their fangs, they can't reduce their strength.

"Now we're treating these people by frying the herbs that grow in this oasis, but it's a difficult situation."

"That's tough."

The sun colour closes its eyes with arms together.

Predict that Ciuba and Lillin will probably be staring at themselves right now.

At that time, I thought that the healing magic that the sun color showed would cure them, so I don't have to listen. They have no stepchildren to cure them.

"Hey, Shivan."

"So what, Lillin?

"There would still be other reasons, wouldn't there? As I was saying, even if your opponent is a monster in Rank SSS, if the 'Asuras' fight with all their strength, we should be able to figure it out. Why wouldn't you?

…………

"Sometimes I wonder about that. Although I don't have as much power as I did when I was active, I don't think anyone like you would ever lag behind a monster. Even if the foot wrap is nearby, I don't think I'd have to know if it was just one leg and lose both eyes................ What are you hiding?

Lillin pursues with a sparkling eye.

When I hear her words, Camus and the man in the hall are as flattered as they have lost their words. That appearance sufficiently showed that Lillin's words were shooting at the target.

And when Shivan exhales loudly, he opens his mouth quietly.

"That's the Red Rose Witch, and your insight is really tongue-wrapping."

"Huhun, naturally."

Tension of the chest as a matter of course, but its face is happy or slightly loose.

"... desert monsters. It's the head of the previous generation."

"You think he's the head of the previous generation? What's this all about, Shivan?

Lillin frowns in surprise and asks questions.

"That kid, when Camus was just a little kid."

That's how Shivan moves his lips heavy.

About thirty years ago now, an anomaly occurred in this desert.

It started with one monster. The monster is a species that lived normally in this desert, but its appearance changed as the monster mutated.

His name was a monster called Dessert Tortoise and he was a Rank S monster featuring a large armor on his back.

That dessert tortoise, one day, was supposed to have green skin, but turned into a toxic dark purple color.

Besides, dessert tortoises, which are not supposed to be so ferocious, started attacking other monsters. In addition, he didn't just attack, he knocked them down and started eating dead monsters.

And to my surprise, I showed the power to restore the characteristics of the eaten monster to its body. I ingested a monster called Mad Scorpion and its characteristic poison tail grew into dessert tortoise.

The monster Mad Golem was set to host its ragged, hardened skin.

In this way, dessert tortoises began to develop the incredible phenomenon of living the characteristics of what they ate in their bodies.

As it stands, the 'Asuras', who felt that there would be danger to them in any case, not just to the monsters of the desert, decided to put a stop to it now.

The name of the head of the 'Asura' at that time was Ligundo. He was a warrior blessed with both strength and popularity, also the father of Camus' fruit. Especially when it came to combat, it was strong enough for everyone to envy, and Camus was proud of his father like that.

Ligundo, with his companions, headed for a dessert tortoise crusade. Everyone was convinced that he would definitely come back with a monster in place.

But the only one who came home was what a worn out ligund. And when they saw him, full of creation, the others lost their words. Even Shivan was stunned for a while to see what he looked like.

Everyone wondered if Dessert Tortoise was that strong, but the word from him was an unexpected one.

"Dessert tortoises are not naturally occurring beings. Behind it was a mastermind."

Everyone stopped moving like time had stopped. Only one person, Sivan, asked back with a rugged look.

But that was when Dessert Tortoise was attacked along with the roar of Dogogogogogogo.

Further above its armor stood a mysterious figure covering his whole body with a black robe. Look at the situation and everyone understands that what Ligundo was saying was true.

Camus looked at his badly wounded father and his companions, shivering his shoulders in anger, even though he was still young, and went toward him with a song knife. But there was no way Camus could win when he said his father, who was the strongest in the clan, was crippled.

Ligundo, blue-blued by Camus' actions, tried desperately to move his painful body to prevent an attack of dessert tortoise, but he couldn't make it. Relentless dessert tortoise sharp nails strike Camus.

Camus also, for the first time, has a feeling of death in an attack with a serious intent to kill, making his whole body stiff.

Everyone thought Camus would be killed. But at that time, Shivan appears and shelters in front of him in a critical manner.

But because of that, Shivan gets a big scratch on his right leg.

On top of that, we still don't stop attacking Dessert Tortoise, this time with a poisonous tail.

Shivan squeezes his power, holds Camus, and throws him away from the spot.

And good things fly back with their tails behind them, but at the next moment, something like spreading from their feet grows, and their feet are tangled and restrained.

Even Shivan decided it was magic, and when he followed the flow of magic, he found that it was being released from the person of the robe. And it wasn't just a spreading, it didn't even freak out if it contained some amazing magic.

Even if he tries to escape, the venom is released from the tail earlier towards Busha and Shivan.

The released venom hits the periphery of both eyes, and you feel intense pain and heat as if you've thrown an eye in the flame.

Dessert Tortoise again points the poison tail in an attempt to stab Todome, but the tail was severed the moment it hit him.

And immediately cut off the spreads that are holding Shivan. The person in the robe who saw it raised his voice like he was impressed with "ho".

What saved him was Ligund, who was disturbed by pain and fatigue.

There is a black knife in his hand. But at the next moment, I will throw the two swords into the sheath and toward Camus. And when I take the song knife that is falling downstairs, I will take it.

He tells the rest of us to take Shivan and run away. Immediately retrieving Sivan and trying to leave the scene, Camus was staring at his father's back.

"Go quickly!

"Tocha!

Camus didn't want to go.

In a full-bodied father, he understood by feeling that there was no winning. My father said we were going to buy ourselves time to escape.

'Don't get me wrong!

"...... Huh!?

"You're my son! Then don't do what you have to do now!

"And, To-chan..."

Camus picks up a double knife that is falling to the ground, even as he trembles at his father's words. Though it feels heavy, it tries to leave the spot,

"Running away?

Very dark, and strangely a low voice echoes in the back of my ear.

The Lord of that voice was undoubtedly the person of a robe standing over the armor of dessert tortoises.

"Do you abandon your father and run away like no other?... is that funny too '

"... you..."

Camus grips his fist and stares.

The hood also covers my face, but I could confirm that there was a slight cross wound on my cheek.

"Camus!"

My father's words freaked me out and returned to me.

'... okay, Camus. The clan... will entrust you with its double-knife'

"Toru... Chan..."

And I laugh nicely, breaking the look that should be hard with pain.

'Don't forget. You're my son! So be sure!'

…………

"Be Always... Be A Good Man"

There are tears in my eyes.

"Go... get everyone... I asked you"

I didn't look back anymore. I ran desperately away from the spot holding the knife as it was.

He abandoned the oasis he lived in, quite far away, but found a new oasis and based there.

Everyone waited for Ligundo's return in anticipation, but was stunned to hear reports from his colleagues who were looking around the desert.

I discovered an organism that looked the same as Ligundo. That's all I should be happy to hear that he was alive, but I felt betrayed by everything in the next word.

"There's a poisonous tail growing out of Ligundo"

Upon examination, he seemed eaten and absorbed by dessert tortoises.

Moreover, he changed his appearance and had toxic purple skin, which turned him into a ligund with poisonous tails, sharp nails, etc.

Everyone couldn't hide their shock from that fact. When my buddies discovered it, they were still slightly aware of Ligundo, and I heard from him a safe place.

Apparently, he succeeded in squeezing the last force and limiting the range of dessert tortoises.

This is due to his magic, but I managed to impose a bond and keep dessert tortoises out of it.

But I don't know how long it will last either.

There are many monsters here that you can consume, so you won't even bother looking for the Cams.

The person in the robe said, "I'm done for you," and disappeared somewhere, so I also found that I could feel at ease.

But even if you say you won't bother looking, if you vandalize within the boundaries, you may inspire and ramble your dessert tortoise instincts. So I was told to stay calm if possible.

Shivan indulged in Ligundo's story and tried to aspire to a life without touching Dessert Tortoise, as he put it.

But of course, we thought we couldn't keep him that way, and we all figured that we couldn't fix him.

A traveler appeared in the desert some time later, and as a result of the traveler entering the junction and stimulating dessert tortoises, he realized the presence of the 'Asura' who had been looking at things, and was about to be killed by dessert tortoises in the wake of all that.

Because of that, we decided to rid ourselves of those who came into the desert. If we really piss off Dessert Tortoise and the junction stops working, now it's possible that our fangs will turn to us.

That's why the 'Asuras' have been desert gatekeepers, believing that one day Ligund will return to normal, and have spent so far looking for a way to do so.
