"... by the way, would you like to go to the city?

I put on what Lina had bought and settled down, and then Lina told me that.

I eat this word for a moment.

Because I was anxious to say why and whether it was possible to fulfill it.

Of course, he was aiming to evolve his existence to be able to go to the city from the beginning, and now he wonders if he can go if he works hard.

But I'm still anxious when it comes to being able to move to reality.

"... no, no more ru...?

So I ask Lina in the end. Yes, I ask.

From a human point of view, wearing a robe and gloves and a sword down my waist, is it okay for me to go into the city?

Because Lina is the only one who can ask for that distinction.

To this, Lina put her hand on her mouth,

"Hmmm...... it feels a little suspicious, but there are plenty of people like that. Show me your face, or they could say," Lucky you're unhappy, "but that mask, it doesn't matter how hard you try, doesn't it come off? I shouldn't have told you that if you were retained when you entered the city, you wouldn't honestly come off. If you let me pull the mask, you'll see that it really won't come off."

"Just, duh... and then, yes..."

"You push it off there. The demons sucked me alive, or around. Sure, it's undead itself because you see it if you know the truth, but in general common sense, you can't have a decent conversation with undead. It seems a little hard to talk about, but you can be more convinced to say that you are a creative adventurer full of demons, rather than being told that you are undead than willing to communicate. If I could see your face, that would have been subtle too, but now I can't see your face. You can go!"

That's what Lina said and pushed my heartbeat.

Speaking of what the truth is, I think her analysis would be generally correct.

Undead can't communicate decently or anything unless it's something extra high, and there's a mighty presence that I can just see from what I said, but I don't think I have that thing right now.

In the first place, it doesn't seem like you need to worry about not entering the city if you have all that power.

Anyway, if I get suspicious, I'll push it off even, and I'm sure it'll be fine, which is why.

And then I'd say it depends on my hard work.

"Okay... well, good luck, I'll try..."

"Yes! Let's go!

That's what Lina said, so I tilt my neck.

…… What do you think, uh, about that?

"Huh? Aren't you coming with me?

Lina answers my question with a decent face.

I'm surprised by this.

Because I never thought you'd be willing to come with me.

Whatever, I'm undead now.

Trying to get into the city with me like this is too risky.

They may treat them like demons and even chase them.

Maybe you haven't thought about it?

I think, I'll ask.

"... together, if you say so... Rina, isn't that a knife...?

"Uh... well, maybe, but I think you have a better chance of success than going alone. If humans pushed their heartbeat and said they were human, they wouldn't really think they were demons."

"It is, but... okay, is it? If there is..."

"That's when it is. In the first place, I would have died if I hadn't met Mr. Lent. Can I risk my life for Mr. Lent for once or so?

I tilted my neck and they said that, but I wouldn't do that if I were normal.

I knew it, but Lina seems pretty popular.

Thankful story.

As far as I'm concerned, if you're thinking about her, you should say no.

But I really want to get into the city.

Besides, what she says is best.

If there are people out there who say this guy is okay, the chances of success will definitely increase.

And once we get in, we should be able to get through relatively well from now on.

If you get familiar with your face, the test will be loose.

So I decided to ask Lina.

"... well, I, um... but then, I don't have to... If ever, just be deceived, be there..."

If I were you, if I were you, Lina would be fine.

Well, that would be quite suspicious, but the existence of an undead who can speak normally in common sense is weirder.

It is obviously not strange that I was told that I was such a body because I was an adventurer and I was injured.

Lina leaned her neck a little to my words,

"I hope you don't have to... I'll think of something when I have to"

That's what I laughed at.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... next time!

In the city of Multo West Gate, the voice of a soldier who was a gatekeeper sounded.

Lina heard it,

"... let's go, Mr. Lent"

That's what I say and I walk out with my chest up.

Don't rely on me for something amazing, this girl......

I go on after Lina, thinking so like other HR.

"... with a woman... one man at a time, huh? Then give me your ID."

There was a little while, but I hear the soldiers decided I was a man.

A soldier I've never seen.

Choosing a less familiar gate was apparently a success.

If you hit a soldier whose face matches my name, it's going to be a little rough.

On the other hand, it could have acted in a good direction... but the hard part.

Anyway, after the soldier's words, Lina gives him a blunt card that is an adventurer's card from her nostalgia.

I also gave him a copper adventurer's badge from the tool bag and handed it to the soldier quickly.

"... Lina Luperge and... Lent Fina, huh? You're both authentic adventurers. You won't have a problem...... So, you?

It won't be a problem, so I received my Adventurer ID safely and when I tried to enter the city, I was stopped.

Damn, I knew it, but don't panic and respond.

"... Yes. What, so, what?

"... you're the guy who talks in an unusual way, right? If possible, I'd like you to take that mask..."

When a soldier says so, Lina says,

"Excuse me. I hear the guy's mask, he's cursed, and he can't come off how. The way I talk, I mean, the throat, the whole area around my face got hit by demons..."

That's what I explained.

The soldier looked surprised to hear Lina explain, but I...

"... clamp, look,..."

and he nodded as he offered his masked face, pulling his hand over the sides of the mask.

"... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... are you really cursed"

"I'm not going to lie about this... Originally, like I said, I bought a mask and wore it because I got hit by demons around my face, but I'm unlucky... Normally touching it doesn't seem to activate the curse, but if you put it close to your face, it seems to have activated and stopped coming off."

"Oh... I hear there are some items that activate under those special conditions. But can you take it off if you ask the clergy?

"It sounds like a pretty strong curse, and it seems tough on ordinary clergy. When it comes to higher-ranking people..."

"It costs money, too, you mean? Certainly tough in iron and copper. That's why the wound stays intact. I see..."

Lina explains to the soldiers without precipitation.

No soldiers or particularly suspicious appearances, at the end of the day,

"Okay, okay. Come through. All right!

That's what he told me.

Lina smiled at me when she heard it.
