Monster no Goshujin-sama

23. Knowledge of the Misty Vault

Twenty-three.

When I returned to the inn, Kato and Kay, who were waiting in front of the room, looked baffled.

Naturally.

I should have rubbed it earlier, because I brought Shenzu and Sadias back.

"Senior......"

Mr. Kato rushes over.

His legs tended to twist, and his young face had fright.

Her male phobia has not fully healed.

As much as I or Rose have to do to get out of town.

Still, I guess he was so worried that he couldn't help but wait in the hallway where he didn't know who was coming.

If you think about it, this time I jumped into a rub with an unfavorable cheat in a situation where there was no Lily or Gabella.

Once before, I had exchanged words with Fukatsu for a short time, and I had just stepped on it that it would not strike me all over town, but Kato doesn't know that far.

If you made my chest hurt to worry, I did something sorry.

"And those people...?

I put my hand on my shoulder to support Kato, who filled his chest with distance so that he could barely stop.

"I'm supposed to talk to you for a second. Don't worry, Kato will be back in his room with Kay."

"Yes, no. I will also be present."

Grab the hem of my clothes, Kato said.

My desperate eyes only had the power to make me give up persuasion.

"... ok. But don't push me."

"Yes."

When I take my hand off Kato's shoulder, who nodded, Kay leans in to support her body instead.

I looked back.

"So do you mind?

"Oh, I'm in the position you're asking for. I don't care if it fits you."

Somehow smiling, Sadias nods.

The figure belongs to a gentle young man, no matter where he sees it.

But in my eyes, the sight I saw earlier burned.

- It can't be human, reptile eyeballs.

What the hell was that?

Predictions are made, and there are some things that are satisfactory, but at the same time there are things that we don't know about.

I decided to listen to it to make sure it was around there.

I took Sadias and Shenzhen to my room.

On the table were me, Sadias, and Shenzhen.

At my back, Rose and Silan stand, and Kato and Kay calm their hips in line in bed.

Silan was going to give him a break, but we strongly hoped to be present.

In some cases, I have to ask her something too, so I appreciate you saying so.

Like Kato, I accepted her seat, including just saying not to impose.

"... so you could talk."

Across the table, on one side of the two seats, I did my gaze.

"I don't think you said we could talk earlier, okay?

"If that's what he's doing, I won't tell him anything."

Fukutsu, with his arms around him, has turned a strong eye on me.

"But if you do anything against Thaddeus, At that time…"

"Stop it, Ming Hu. They're listening to me."

When Sadias told him to teach, Shenzu mumbled in an atmosphere of disapproval and other things.

I thought Shenzu was in a stronger position, but he's not.

Even the earlier threatening words were a guide to Sadias.

I had a rambling image, but apparently that's not all.

Something about Silan makes me feel really bad, but I might as well consider the forceful behavior until earlier to be too much to think of my people.

"Okay. Well, I'm going to talk to you soon..."

Keeping Shenzhen embarrassed, Sadias cut the story out.

"Nevertheless, what have we talked about since"

I opened my mouth when I heard Sadias twinkle with a slightly troubled face.

"Sadias, who the hell are you?

"... that's a straight shot."

"If you don't hear that, it won't start."

"Yes, it is."

Laughing a little, Sadias tightened her expression.

"Then let's answer. As you can see, I am not human. [M] Of course, it's not like other species like elves. I..."

So a little, I'll stare.

But when I breathed, I said it clearly.

"I'm a monster."

The air became stuck.

Sadias and Shenzhen are staring at me.

I'm trying to identify the reaction.

Correspondingly, Rose and Silan are also set up to do whatever they need to do.

……

Fortunately for each other, I had no more feelings than 'I knew it'.

"Let me check."

I just opened my mouth quietly.

"You don't mean that Fukutsu over there is a monster, Lord of Sadias... do you?

"What?"

And it was Kay who raised his voice, and it was Shenzu who looked suspicious.

"Monster use? Oh, my God, that."

"Don't you know the story of having cheats with those abilities?"

"... no"

It doesn't look like it's stuck in Shenzhen.

In the first place, I didn't seem to know that I was capable of such a thing, per se.

"Huh? That? Is it not? I am..."

"Senior. How did you know?

Next to Kay, who makes his eyes black and white, Kato asks, making his face a little hardened by nervousness.

"I'm just wondering if you understand or not. I had two doubts before when I met these two."

I gave Sadias my eyes.

"One is that Sadias said, 'You can't leave Aketi alone' after you had trouble with us and Shenzu went alone." Because he doesn't have the magic stone of translation right now. "

Rose, standing at my back, mowed herself.

I guess I remembered that because I was telling her this question that day.

"The day before that, when I first encountered Shenzu... perhaps Sadias remained in his room, but Shenzu was alone exchanging words with the master of the Inn. Shenzhen can use the magic stone of translation. Yet when I met him the next day, it was strange that Sadias, a local, had the demonic stone of translation, not the shenzhen of a transferee who could not speak"

"That's the real question."

I say to Sadias, who snorts.

"But what if Sadias is a monster and, like us transferees, he can't speak with people from other worlds? Then both Shenzhen and Sadias are in the same position. It's not strange which one has the demon stone of translation"

"I see. Surely I cannot speak without the demonic stone of translation. - What's another question?

"In the first place, it's about how you had the demon stone of translation. The demonic stone of translation, developed for transferees who appear once a hundred years, is small in demand, even if it is of high importance. I hear that just because you need it doesn't mean you can always get it."

This, for example, would change the story if Fujitsu had First Expeditionary Team cheats.

But they should be on their way to Imperial Capital right now, and it's a little unnatural that Shenzu was visiting Akel earlier than us if he was a member who left.

In fact, Shenzu didn't seem to know any information about the use of monsters brought on by Iino, and likely wasn't part of the expedition.

"That's why I thought Sadias was originally a living monster in human society, regardless of the existence of Shenzhen. Then you must have had the stone of translation for yourself from the beginning."

At that time, I told Rose who was accompanying me, "Mr. Kato can now use the demon stone of translation," so I told him, "The same metastasizer, Akira Fujitsu, should also be able to use it".

But the real thing to look at was probably Rose, who was next door and used the demon stone of translation - 'Rose, the monster, can use the demon stone of translation'.

Sadias is a monster, and that's why he possessed the demon stone of translation.

Of course, just because you think about it that way is natural, there are other possibilities if you want to think about it.

In the end, perhaps the most decisive was the sense of distance between Sadias and Shenzhen.

That's because it seemed more like it belonged to Kato and Rose than it did to me, the Lillies, or Kudo and Berta.

"It's just..."

And so I frowned.

Because there was something that didn't fall on my heart.

"Hey, Sadias. We've been talking about how convincing this is."

"I don't know."

"Are you really... just a monster?

As I said earlier, I am one of the monster users.

I have the ability to make connections with monsters.

More than a rare monster… If you are a willing monster, I can connect paths.

Something like Lily and the Roses, which was originally of little will, something that had a slight ego, like the white spider Gabella deep in the tree sea, and the "Misty Vault" Salvia, which had a solid consciousness, were able to connect paths.

But I haven't been able to make any connection with Sadias that he's a monster.

This was the first time, except for monsters under Kudo Lu, including Anton and Berta.

"This... surprised you"

Sadias, hearing my doubts, looked a little surprised.

In a way, I don't think I was particularly offended when I said it was a questionable question about what I said earlier.

"You're right, Takahiro. Oh, I'm really surprised."

It even seemed rather impressive.

Laughing fun, I shake my neck to the side.

"I'm just not lying, either. I'm a monster for sure."

Say, Sadias looked over at the room.

"As proof of that, I can show you who I am... here, a little too narrow"

"No. You don't have to do that. I don't doubt what you're saying."

The lizard's eyes earlier belonged to the monster.

It's true that Sadias is a monster.

He's not lying - but he's not even telling the whole story. There's no way I can tell you everything. That was all.

Sadias must be a 'monster with special circumstances like my pass can't be connected'.

I don't know what that is.

"By the way, Sadias"

He can't talk. As for your question, I asked him something else.

"Like Sadias, a monster that's confused with human society is something that, hey, there's more to it than I think?

"No. That's not true"

Sadias waved for the first time.

"I want you to think of me as an exception. I mean, can't we normally have monsters dispersed in human society?

"... well, yeah"

The gavel became obscure.

That's what Sadias himself is made of... because Rose and Silan, who are at my side, know that each situation is so different that they are a monster lost in the human world.

Nevertheless, it was right that it could not normally be done.

"In the first place, there should be few monsters as willing as I am before we talk about indisputability."

Again, Sadias was right.

Even that Gabella didn't come to willingness alone.

As an exception, Silan is the only monster I have ever met that has ever reached the point of gaining self by itself: Salvia, who wandered for a long time.

So this time, the example of Sadias was added.

... No. What about that, too?

I don't think Sadias is the same as Salvia...

Even as I thought about it, Sadias kept talking.

"At least I know only those of my clan who are like me. I am the only one wandering through human society because all my clans live in hiding in settlements."

"... give me a minute"

I caught my mouth talking about Sadias.

"What's a clan?

I was told that it was a rush, but it wasn't a word I could hear.

Clan.

Speaking of which, Sadias had spoken such a word earlier in a conversation in the alley behind the inn.

And now the word settlement.

There was one fact suggested from that.

"No way...... there's a settlement where monsters live?

"Oh. It's the only settlement in this world where monsters live."

Thaddeus affirmed what I had said in incredible ways.

"Its name is' Inside the Dragon Abyss'. Those of my clan who are less than twenty in number... dwellings of dragon breeds, little hideouts"

"Inside the dragon dwelling...?

Inevitably, in the back of my brain, I was reminded of Sadias' left eye, which I saw earlier.

"That means Sadias. Who are you..."

"That's what I'm talking about"

Sadias affirmed my words.

The way it only looks like a calm young man.

Who can imagine?

The identity is a powerful dragon.

"We have lived in hiding for a long time. Avoiding disputes with humans. That was our chief's decision. Outside the inside is one of the chosen ones. Nowadays, it's just me."

Sadias, who spoke well, frowned there.

"... but lately, there's been a problem"

"Problem?"

"The one who got out of the inside..." Hakuraku "came out."

It was a bitter tone.

"As it is, there is a good chance that the outburst of the dragon will cause damage to humans. That could even reveal the existence of a hiding place sooner or later. Today, the compatriots are moving to capture the man.... Did you say Mr. Silan?"

Sadiaz's eyes turned to Silan, who was behind me.

"Earlier, Ming Hu excused himself. But it was all for me that Ming Tiger extended himself to such an act. If you blame me, I want you to. If you want, apologize and make amends."

"Oh, man. Sadias!"

"In time, I beg you to be ashamed"

It was a true tone.

"Will you please tell me? The monster crusade plan currently underway in this town... hey, isn't it about the dragon?

I looked back at Silan.

……

Silan had a difficult face and received Sadias' gaze.

Unlike earlier, Sadias reveals the circumstances.

The situation is understandable.

Except if he's telling the truth.

And it wasn't Silan who had the ingredients to judge it.

After being a little lost, Silan turned to me.

"What do you think of Takahiro?

"... right"

After a little thought, I turned to Sadias.

"I have a question. Sadias is here... is Diospiro here because of the circumstances you just told me about?

"Oh. I'm going to deal with it when the Hagurai dragon hits this town. Even if the neighboring villages were attacked, this would be the place where the most information would pop in."

Without staring, Sadias answered.

It was more than two weeks ago that we first met Shenzu at the Inn.

For a long time they will be staying in this town.

That was to protect the town of Diospiro.

"One more question. Sadias knew about the Misty Inn. Why not?"

"Oh, that's because Master Misty Inn is the benefactor of a clan that includes me."

Sadias took out the treasure balls he had shown earlier.

"This is a very valuable magic tool, given to Master Misty Inn. There was a reaction to this magic tool, and I found out that you were related to the Misty Inn. Perhaps you have the same protection as us? If it were, I would have trusted you."

"I see."

Somehow, I can read the story.

On the relationship between Sadias and The Misty Temporary Inn.

What kind of origin does a 'monster' named Sadias have?

If I'm right, I can guess why Sadias and Path can't connect.

Well, I don't know until I'm sure what's actually going on, so let's just put that aside now...

You should check it out first.

"Is that true?

I exhaled small, and I asked.

"Don't you believe me?

Sadias on the front gave him a lonely grin.

I waved for the first time.

"No. I didn't just tell Sadias..."

"What?"

Sadias looked weird.

However, the next moment, I should have understood what I said.

"True, sir."

Because you answered my query correctly.

A woman dressed in a loose long coat appeared seeping out of a space of nothing.

I try to hold it around my neck, but I don't feel the weight.

There was only a soft feeling, given by a hug full of motherhood.

"I'm sorry. It's like I'm the reason you're in trouble."

In a tone that seemed sorry, the woman who showed up - "The Misty Temporary Inn," Salvia said.

"But I guess I'm glad. Though he came out because he asked. I wonder if they'll find out about your husband."

"I called you because I decided that was okay. Don't worry about it."

If the current story of Sadias is a lie, Salvia did not come out.

Sadias is a monster, a dragon, with an edge on Salvia.

That all of this is true.

Then you don't have to hide who I am in Sadias.

"Ko, is this......!?

I heard a trembling voice.

If I looked back, I had a thoughtful look at Sadias.

"Dear 'Misty Vault'? Are you in person...?

"I now call myself Salvia. Long time no see. Lovely little dragon. Much, much better."

By the way and Salvia laughed.

Compared to Sadias, the appearance was rather enough to look younger, but the attitude was a whole lot like an older sister.

"Are you the 'hunter' now?

"Yes. Knowing that means you are still..."

Was that some sort of ultimatum word, Sadias seemed convinced that his opponent was a 'fog makeshift'?

Blurring, its whole body trembles at the emotion of reunion.

... hey, more reactive than I expected.

An open eye pointed this way.

"Takahiro. No, Master Takahiro. What the hell..."

……

I got some kind of weird honor.

"I simply signed a contract with Salvia..."

I frowned and looked at Salvia sideways.

"Hey, Salvia. What do you mean?"

"Yep. Because I am involved in the establishment of the Dragon Abyss..."

"Dear Misty Inn, No, Salvia is a great benefactor to us."

More than I thought, it seems that the existence of 'Misty Temporary Inn' is a great thing for Sadias.

Sadias' eyes pointed at this one were glittering.

It's a little hard to do.

... Fair enough.

Let's do it. Although I had an unexpected reaction, the purpose for which I called Salvia was fulfilled.

"You're right, Silan."

And, looking back, I called.

"Salvia assured me of Sadias' identity. If Sadias is moving to capture the dragon, the stakes are in agreement. If you have a crusade plan, I think I can talk about it."

"Right. I think so too."

They were thinking the same thing, and Silan nodded quickly.

The gaze is directed at Sadias.

"As for the earlier question, Lord Sadias,"

"Oh, oh."

That's right, Sadias returned it to me, too, and she tightened her expression.

"Currently, as Lord Sadias expected, the Royal Army stationed in Diospiro has plans to crusade the dragons witnessed in the surrounding villages"

"Again?"

Sadias nodded in a heavy atmosphere.

Even if you anticipate it, it must be a tough fact for him.

"As soon as the Patriotic Knights arrive, a crusade will be dispatched"

"When will it be time to arrive? How much time is left?

"I hear the Knights of the Patriots are scheduled to arrive in four days. And within a few days, they'll start moving."

"Four days..."

Salvia asks Sadias with a bitter face.

"Hey, Sadias. Do you have eyes on capturing the Hagusa dragon?

"Unfortunately, we have not yet received such a report. Our dragons are highly capable of combat and mobility, but do not possess the ability to track or explore. If we can count on numbers like humans, I guess it's different, but the search takes time."

"So is that."

"... In fact, I discovered once over some time that, at that time, I was subjected to a madness of resistance to death and escaped. I wish I could have tied him up at that time and he wouldn't get itchy."

"Sadias wasn't there, and I can't help but regret it."

Deep Tsu speaks to Sadias, who drops his shoulder.

As I looked at them, I frowned.

To ask, the situation is not fragrant.

Suppose a crusader was sent like this, and the humans found the dragon.

If it is a battle, there will surely be a large number of dead.

Thus, the dragon is crusaded.

It's a tragic future for humans and dragons alike.

To avoid this, the dragons must first find the dragons.

But chances are it's not very high.

Converting that the crusaders are behind would be like half a dozen at best.

Life is too heavy to bet on the eyes that throw coins and come out.

...... of course.

If the dragons cooperate with those who lack the ability to track and explore, the story will change.

……

I looked around at everyone's faces.

Apart from Sadias and Fujitsu, naturally, we are all aware of the situation.

Silan and Kay's gaze contained something truthful.

We may be able to avoid the sacrifice of a large number of people. If you try it on them who are knights, naturally, they decide to wish here.

Rose and Kato were staring at this one with sincerity.

I am the judge of this. [M] There was a weight of trust there.

And finally, Salvia......

……

With her eyes, I made up my mind.

"Sadias."

Again, turn to the dragon youth who live in this world.

"Let me tell you a little more about it. Maybe I can help you."

Sadias was surprised when he told us that he had the means to track the dragon.

That's what I was told was the contractor for Master Salvia.

I think he's making some mistake.

Naturally, it's Lily and Ayama who have the means of tracking, not me.

All I can do is ask them to help.

After we talked about the area where the Hagura seemed to be and where we had previously discovered it, the Sadias went home.

Combining this with the stories Silan had heard from the military, it seemed likely that the current location of the Hakoraku dragon could be roughly identified.

Sadias and the others need to be prepared and hand-wound, so the departure will be tomorrow, he said.

We decided to go back to the car and explain to Lily and the others.

"I'm sorry I called you today."

And it came to pass, when Sadias and the others had left the room, that I called out unto Salvia.

"I wish I could have embodied it."

"Oh, that's okay."

Salvia, who was just as fluffy as the Spirit, returned her repeated posture with her knees to the normal.

"It hasn't been a week, and there's something wrong with being able to do it. It's not a bad mastery situation either...... on the contrary, it's about as early as you wouldn't normally think, would it? I am happy to have an excellent Lord."

Salvia laughed like a prank.

"Besides, there's a corner, someone you can contract. Even I want to come out like this once every few days and see my dear husband's face."

"... it's a bad joke"

Salvia laughs when she dulls. It was fun.

Leaving my dear ones aside, it doesn't seem a lie to be enjoying coming out like this.

"Well, if you talk serious, it's like you've gotten caught up in my convenience this time. There's no way I can complain from the start."

"That's nothing, it wouldn't be Salvia's fault either.... or as far as I'm concerned, I think I might have been lucky enough to meet Sadias here."

"I wonder what that means?

And I answered Salvia with my eyes round, short.

"Who Knows History"

Salvia, for a moment, solidified.

"Isn't he some kind of monster associate you were talking about?

"... you got it very well"

"About half of it's a bad idea."

To Salvia, who looked surprised, I smiled back.

Thinking back is the last night I spent in The Misty Vault.

Salvia advised him to visit The Knower of History, if he wanted to know the end of it, hopefully knowing something other than me, "Monsters and Heartfelt Beings".

There can't be so many monsters willing.

One of them has knowledge of Salvia.

It would be natural to wonder if it might be the people involved first.

However, if Sadias is the 'Knower of History' itself, he should come from Salvia.

So I could decide it wasn't.

So what is Sadias like?

When you poke around it and think about it, "Why the path didn't connect between me and Sadias," you can also make a faint guess.

And if that's right......

I shall meet and speak to the Knower of History.

Because I'm sure that's important to us in the future.

Even Salvia promised to do so.

"Just one thing, let me hear it"
