"" Brave "……!"

Tension runs indoors as soon as the "distortion" determines the "(unclear)".

I could see Beldia sitting low on her hips and Idler jumping behind the couch with her head in her arms.

I'll keep my hand on the sheath so I can get through the sword.

"Warrior chief, did you do something?

"... I feel like killing you"

At that time, I opened the door and two men came inside.

One is a skinny half demon with blue and white skin (various things).

The other is a dog breed (Wordock), a person who produced dog ears from the head.

Out of the outfit, it would be a "warped" subordinate.

"I have a benefactor... ugh!?"

"Stupid, brave...!?"

The two of you who come in look at me and give me a ghoulish look.

You were on the battlefield of the Patriarchate, they know my face.

"Yeah......? Warrior Leader, Lord Ikari...?

Only Tyra tilts her neck without being able to go about the situation.

This one has three people and four opponents.

Given that Idler is not a force for war, is it difficult to cut through this place without mindset magic?

"The Four Heavens King would have swept away without a trace, why are you alive!!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr...... ugh!!"

Two lay down their weapons.

The battle was inevitable, when I tried to pull out my sword.

"- Stop it."

"Distortion" took control of the two with his hands.

The two of them, who were about to fly away, stop the movement in a pittance.

"Tyra. Are you sure it was these guys who killed the demon that was attacking the village?

"Yes. This is Lord Vagina and Lord Beldia."

"... ok. Hey, you hear that? Being a" brave man "doesn't change being a benefactor. All hands are forbidden while in this village"

When the two men nodded cocklessly, they handed in their weapons lightly.

The air that was spreading indoors instantly relaxed.

…………

Regardless of the two behind you, I hear you're not willing to fight "distortion".

…… Don't fight......?

"Apparently. Looks fine."

Khoton Berdia solves the problem.

Idler, who was hiding behind the couch, also came out on the dreaded table.

"My men are bad. I heard the village was attacked, and I think I'm worried."

"... I don't mind. You're not motivated, are you?

"Oh. Unless we get our hands on our people, we won't fight you. … sit down."

Volk urges me to sit back on the couch again.

Volk sits at the front and Tyra and the others remain standing without sitting.

"... Again, thank you. Thanks to you, none of your people lost their lives. Thank you."

"Distortion" is deep, head down.

…………

On the neck offered defenselessly, I dropped my gaze.

Now, you'll be able to drop this man's neck in an instant.

Even if you don't kill him, it's easy to seal his movements.

Take a blow to the back of the head full of gaps and prune your consciousness.

Then using it as a hostage would make it a little easier to rescue Elfi and our revenge.

It's more trouble keeping this man alive than finding out I'm alive.

"Keep your head up. As I said to Tyra, we just defeated the demon to erase the intrusive bond. Turns out, I just saved your people."

I thought that far and struck down my thoughts.

The boulders will stop you, the three of you behind them.

If you can't stop with one blow, you'll make a scene.

We should avoid any more useless fights than this man has no hostility.

"But it doesn't change that you saved my people. I will return this favor. I swear by the name of" Warrior. "

…………

Return the favor, huh?

Talk to your enemies and say tough things.

From words and deeds, it doesn't seem like he's going to flip his remarks and set up an unintended strike...

I'm not a good enough person for credit. Let's just try to be prepared so we can kill them at any time.

…………

Beldia stares at "distortion" in frigidity.

The people who grabbed Elfi, so can't we make it go away with hostility?

"... I was being careful, I was erasing the signs"

Idler is extremely shadowy about whether he used some sort of magic.

"You can be so vigilant with those two. I'm not taking anything to eat. The benefactor will treat the customer accordingly. That's what this village is all about."

Even if Volk speaks to those two,

"... your husband's enemy. I want to destroy it."

"Noticed...!?"

The two of them don't de-alert.

"Well, I don't know what else to do," Volk smiles bitterly.

"I'm Volk Granberia. He's the chief warrior in this village. Please do me a favor later."

"It's Itsuki."

"... Beldia"

"I'm Idler. She's a weak girl."

Then, "distortion" - Volk makes the two behind him name it too.

The half demon with blue and white skin is Krug.

The dog race (Wordock) seems to say bedrut.

Paired with Tyra, these three look like Volk's direct reports.

At the same time, as a "deputy chief," he's an assistant to Warrior Chief Volk.

"Ya... I cooled my liver when I saw my face, but I was rude to say I was a benefactor"

"... apologize and thank you"

Hostility is completely gone from both of us.

Though, I seem to be on alert.

From the way I set up earlier, these two are pretty strong, too.

If the three deputy chiefs fight at the same time, it is my view that they can compete with the Demon General...

"From earlier, I can't see what you're talking about... What do you mean, Lord Ikari is a brave man?

"It stays that way. Shiraku was on his way to the Patriarchate to defeat the brave and the former Demon King. That's why he's the brave one."

"Oh my..."

"... Tyra. Didn't you notice..."

With a flashing look, Tyra looks at me.

You lied to me, but they didn't ask me anything.

"... but there was a definite response. You mean Dada is not the name of the brave man when all four kings are aligned and fooled."

Idler did that, though.

"More than that, I need to ask you something"

"What?"

"If the Four Heavens are living, this village should be under the protection of the Demon King's Army. Why is that raided by the same Four Heavens King?

Pitali, and Volk stopped moving.

Sharp white eyes are pointed.

"... What do you mean by the same Four Heavens King?

"It's the junction that was covering this village. Lucifina did that, didn't she?

――――

Volk opened his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"No way, are you willing to make a different contract...?

"... contract?

"It's about the deal the Warrior Commander has with the Demon King's Army."

Tyra explained to me, replacing Volk, who had been silent.

There are multiple races living in this village.

As a result, it can be hostile from a variety of countries and organizations.

It seems that the warriors, beginning with Volk, have protected this village from such external enemies.

Nor does it appear that he was attacked by the Demon King's Army once or twice.

Thus, while leaving the raid several times, the Demon King's Army turned a blind eye to Volk's strength.

Subject to placing this village under asylum, the Demon King's Army solicited Volk.

On it, Volk seems to have become the Four Heavens King.

"... If this raid is by the Four Heavens, it is a clear betrayal. Sir, are you certain that the kingdom belonged to the Four Heavens?

"Definitely. Find out where the Baifoo Dragon" body and junction were. "

From the story that Lucifina is the one who sealed Elphi, we know he can use the junction.

I was a little concerned, but that was definitely Lucifina's magic power.

"... Krug, Beddurt. Find out."

Volk, who kept his mouth shut, raises his face and flies instructions to his men.

"Aye."

"Understood."

Nodding, they quickly left the room.

"Well... the Lucifina thing is on hold. Once you've done your research, you'll be clear. It's called Dionys, it's called Lucifina, and they're all in trouble."

Like tired, Volk exhales.

"... ah. Were you the one who killed Dionis?

"Yes."

"You're a boulder. I really did it with him, but I couldn't kill him."

Abominably, Volk groans.

Once, Dionis led the demons and they came to this village.

Volks, it looks like the warriors intercepted and managed to drive Dionis back.

"Ever since then, he's been so hostile and depressing."

"He's the one who says he doesn't like anything unless he gets what he wants."

"That's it. When I became the Four Heavens, they complained."

Of all the demon kings, Dionis seems to have done whatever he wanted.

"Still... that bastard was one of us for once"

Softly, Volk narrows his eyes.

For a moment, hostility is unleashed.

But it disappeared quickly.

... I didn't know you could call those guys buddies.

I wonder if you have a strong sense of companionship.

"... I don't feel like avenging you. At least not now."

…………

Volk got up off the couch.

"All right. I'll see what's going on in the village. Tyra, take care of Ioda."

"Ha."

"Well, I'll show my face again."

With that said, Volk left the room.

Tyra and the three of us will be left in the room.

"The Lord seems to have complicated circumstances as well, but let's be polite while we're in this village. The sun goes down in less than a few minutes. You should stay in the village."

"Give me a minute."

Hold your reply and speak to Beldia and the others.

"How long will it take you from here to your destination?

"Hmm, it won't take half a day. If we leave early in the morning, I think we'll be there by noon. It's long enough to fly without a break."

If I can, I want to hurry to Elfi's place.

If it's that distance, we'll get there in the middle of the night if we get out now.

"Beldia, how's it going?

"... from now on, it's a little tight. I think we have a break on the way."

"... right"

If you're going to pinch a break on the way, there's no point in leaving now.

I have no choice but to say, I have an itch in my teeth.

As soon as I can, I want to go to him.

Eventually, I decided to stay in this village today and leave early in the morning.

Ask Tyra to show you to your accommodation room.

"I can afford the number of rooms. Use it as you please."

"Wow. So, me and Beldia are in the room?

When Idler used his eyes on me,

"Haha. What, you want the same room as the rest of us?

I ask you deliberately.

"Fine."

"... me too, I don't like being with you"

"Why do you guys hate me so much!? It's not terrible!? It's time for heavenly punishment!?"

... he's a noisy guy.

This noise makes my chest squirm when I see him wearing it.

"Hehe. Your lords are close."

Tickling, Tyra smiled zero.

"... does that look like it?

"... not good at all. Me and Io, anyway."

"Why am I the only one out of company!? I haven't been with you for quite a while!?"

... That's really noisy, this guy.

Eventually, I decided to rent two rooms, Beldia Idler.

Not to mention friendly, this is enemy territory.

It's not a good idea to tear it apart.

Beldia looked rather disgusted when she heard Idler was in the room.

Besides, Idler is protesting with tears.

I'm not sure if we're close or not.

I then got to look around the village at Tyra's suggestion.

Beldia follows Tyra first, either to tell Elfi about the village.

Me and Idler were a little late and followed.

The part that bothered me when I saw the village is still the multitude of races.

Humans, subhumans, demons, and many races live there.

For that reason, there are few halves of different races.

How many half-elf women did you see along the way?

Everyone has the same dark look.

Idler had his gaze on them with some harsh expression.

"What's wrong with you?

Speaking up, Idler returned to his usual look.

"I'm not gonna do anything."

It bothered me a little, but isn't it enough to pursue?

I took about an hour and slowly went around the village.

You heard about us, a lot of people called out.

Friendly dealings with demons other than elphi may have begun.

Basically, I only met the Demons on the battlefield.

"... coexistence with the devil tribe"

"Hmm? Did I say something?

"No."

Remainder of the ideal you held.

Scattered, scoffed at.

It doesn't matter to me anymore.

I don't care.

By the time the sun began to set, we had circled the village and returned to the inn.

◆

After entering the inn, the time passed pale.

They won't be raided, they won't be poisoned for dinner.

Because it's the same inn, I remember staying in a hot spring city somewhere.

Idler and Beldia are in the room right next door.

Because when we met something, we chose the next room so we could rendezvous with each other.

Because of the proximity, it's hard to hear Idler.

…………

One person in the room performs magic adjustments and weapons inspections.

Though we know the activation conditions, it's hard to say that mindset magic is completely used.

I would never have gone over to prepare for a shortage.

"Distorted. Disappeared."

The Four Heavenly Kings are given titles commensurate with their abilities.

The Four Heavenly Kings who fought before were also given titles according to their abilities, such as "Ice" and "Thousand Weirds".

Volk's "distortion" would be something that comes from that elephant magic.

Gracia's title is "Disappear", which means she's holding Elfi prisoner.

Seeing as it comes from the kind of ability to travel momentarily shown in the Patriarchate, there's no doubt about it.

To date, we have seen several sorceries of movement such as "summoning" and "transferring" using magic formations.

But I've never seen such handy sorcery as that woman used.

Consideration is attached to what kind of magic.

If the prediction is correct, it shouldn't be such a complicated sorcery.

Some measures have already been considered.

Do you want to hear Idler's opinion later?

That guy might know something.

"... do you want to take a bath?"

I hear there's a bathroom for guests.

I remembered Tyra's guide and headed to the bathroom.

Don't feel like the culture of 'soaking in water' is spreading more than it did thirty years ago, thanks to the hot spring city.

The bathroom was quite large.

Are you using magic grants, or the water strewn in the tub remains warm.

That's a little hot.

Flush your body, then grab it in the water.

…………

Like a hot spring city, relaxation is unlikely.

From the Patriarchate there is always a sense of impatience in the chest.

There are two reasons.

That vengeance is postponed.

And most importantly, there's no Elfi.

What the hell am I doing soaking in this water?

Yeah, I don't even think about it.

Even at this moment, the woman who betrayed me is still alive.

Just think about it, I think I can handle my head.

Besides, there is no guarantee that Elfi will still be safe.

A minute later, he could be slashed off his limbs and sealed.

"... shit"

Now I understand there's no point in rushing.

…………

Be cool.

Blunt your thoughts and you won't be able to do it either.

Just do what you have to do to get what you have to do.

It was when I put on an emotional fold and tried to get out of the tub to wash my body.

"Pfft. Hmm."

Along with the nose song, the ragged and bathroom doors opened.

Faster than I could call, Idler came inside.

Naturally, I'm not wearing any clothes.

"Phew............ hmm?

Idler, who came skipping, and I got eyes on him.

――――

…………

Silence persisted for a while,

…………

Idler flushed his body with water.

"... don't try to come in flat"

"I can't complain about seeing my divine skin if my eyes are crushed! Yeah, you're good."

"It's not good."

"Let me give you the honor to worship."

... this woman, don't listen to me.

Ignore it, Idler comes into the tub.

I don't even have a bare gesture to hide.

"... get out"

"I'm already soaked."

"Then I'll leave."

Trying to get out, Idler grabbed my arm.

"Don't say much about not taking him. I wanted to talk to you once. Wouldn't that be a good opportunity?"

"It'll be good after you get out"

"Look, some stories you can't do much outside, right?

"... then at least hide your body"

"There's not a single part of me that should be ashamed of my skin... I can't help it"

Exhale and Idler turns back.

…………

At that time, I caught a chill in my eyes.

Deep engraved on Idler's back, a cut.

"Oh, great Bob's back, do you care?

You noticed my gaze, blatantly idler laughed.

"I used to get busted from behind. Well, he's an honor wound."

"... right"

"You don't have to worry about it."

Then it took the form of turning our backs on each other.

"Is this good?

"... oh. So, what are you talking about?

In the bathroom, a creaking voice sounds.

I was wondering if you were going to do anything.

"What do you mean?

"This is an enemy land, and the Four Heavens are enemies. Even so, they're not going to attack us. That means if we give it back, we can attack as we please."

That was lower than usual, a cooler voice.

"It's wise that you didn't hand it out on that spot. Whatever Tyra was, the two of us who were holding back behind her were blindfolded. Even now, the vigilance will not have been lifted."

Tauntingly Idler continued his words.

I'm a little more alert than usual.

But now you're free to move.

"... what are you trying to say"

"In short, now I'm telling you that you can do whatever you want with your enemies in this enemy land. What more could you do without a big watch?

"I guess. But the priority now is the rescue of Elphiszark."

Fighting here adds extra effort.

Even if you can kill Distortion ", it will be Othi who calls for rescue at Demon King's Castle.

"I'm not going to risk anything for nothing."

"... Phew. Well, if you think so, I guess that's the right thing to do."

Idler affirms.

"So, what do you say we keep them from calling for help?

"... what?

smiling, Idler said.

"- Let's kill them all (...)"

With the frozen voice of emotion, pale.

"Let's not even give them while we call for rescue, let's kill them all without leaving anyone behind. That way, it won't tell the Demon King Castle about us."

――――

"Oh, maybe it's a good idea to take a few hostages. If they were companions, they wouldn't be able to help us with the hostages. Yeah. You can get rid of all the disturbing Four Heavenly Kings and troublesome men, and you're done for good."

――――――――

"Idler"

"What?

"- Are you serious?

Silence.

"... don't sound so scared"

…………

"I don't like it, I just offered one choice. It's something I can't do. It's up to you to choose."

As he panicked a little, Idler excused himself so.

"... I'm not going to take that, roundabout means. We're going to avoid all possible wear and tear until we get to Elphi."

"Huh.... You're sweet, too."

Properly, the water shakes.

"That way, if you don't give this and a reason, you're not free to move. It's going to last forever."

"... don't think about why, I think it's better than being flushed and alive"

"I guess. Isn't it easier to be flushed?

"There's no point in making it easier, there's no need"

Easy or hard, it doesn't make sense.

When I made my own decision and proceeded, I decided.

"... you've been stepping in for a long time. Usually that's all you're talking about."

"Huh, that's rude of you to be kidding me. Smart. I'm always serious."

Just, Idler said.

"That's my kindness. To you with that 'crest'."

…………

"Well, if that's your choice, you can live as you please. - You see hell, until that day."

To melt, sweetly.

That's what Idler said in my ear.

Fear runs.

"... what do you mean, what do you mean"

…………

No matter how long, I don't hear back.

"Hey."

suspicious, and looking back,

"... ugh."

His face turned bright red and Idler was floating on his back in the water.

"Cool... 'cause I was feeling... I was putting up with you... oh, no"

…………

"... my eyes, turn... ooh"

Get him up.

"Io... help me"

You let me up, too, you gave me a headache.

After taking on Idler and letting him out.

Let the heat cool in the night breeze.

"Till I see hell, huh?"

Now.

If it's hell, I saw it.

So it's my turn to go to hell next.

I swore vengeance with it, with my accomplices.
