It was before Elphi and Orteguia became demon kings.

At the time, the Ghost Clan was on the side of the Demon King's Army.

As a demon king's subordinate, he fought against humans and other hostile races.

But questioning the brutality of the Demon King, the Ghost Clan eventually left the Demon King's Army.

Then, instead of joining the war, we always became neutral.

For this reason, they will be viewed as traitors by humans, by former hostile races, and by demon kings.

Then time passed, when Orteguia became the Demon King.

To change that state of affairs, where the Demon King's Army will do everything in its power to be brutal all over the world, the Ghost Nation broke its position of neutrality and set itself on the human side.

As a matter of fact, I would have liked to get out of a situation where I would be treated as an enemy by both humans and demon kings.

As a representative of such a ghost tribe, Dionis, who was the most powerful ghost tribe, was to join our people.

Bertoga is Dionis' man.

Humans and ghosts will work together several times to collide with the army of the Demon King Army.

Ghosts are highly physically capable and highly resistant to magic.

The activity of the ghost tribe was meticulous.

But I guess it's because there's a past attached to the Demon King's Army in the past.

Even as we fought together, many humans hated ghosts like snakes.

They were blatantly changing attitudes and treatment and discriminating against ghosts.

Even with the Demon King's Army in the past, we are now on the side of man.

Yet I do not like the current situation of being discriminated against.

When I saw them trying to change their current situation without being flushed by the situation, I wanted to do something about this discrimination.

So I didn't change my attitude like any other person and actively interacted with them.

That's where I was used by Bertoga.

◆

"Mr. Amatsu!"

Getting into Demon King's Castle, it was a while ago.

Bertoga came where he was preparing for the last battle.

"If you like, drink this!"

He said he brought potions to pass on to the ghost tribe, which have the effect of restoring fatigue and consumed magic.

"Lord Amatsu. You shouldn't drink anything like this."

"Shall I bring you a decent potion?"

When I saw Bertoga, the people around me looked blatantly at him and said so.

"After all, you can't drink what we make..."

Face down, Bertoga says in a depressed breeze.

Now that I think about it, it was an understandable three-sentence play.

But I didn't realize it.

"No, I'll take it. Thanks."

Not wanting to discriminate, I got potion from Bertoga and drank it up.

It would be true to restore fatigue and magic.

It just had ghost claws in it that are fiercely poisonous.

My body had little effect on ghost claws.

Every time I exercise magic, my body gets a little heavier.

That much influence.

Nor did the Bertoga think they could kill me with poison.

For a moment of betrayal, you just have to delay my reaction a little at that moment.

That's how he poisoned me.

In fact, I didn't even think about fine dust, such as being attacked by my buddies, so I would have been killed even if I hadn't been poisoned.

"If you're an amatsu bastard, you'll drink without going through the potion I gave you.

You can't drink what the Ghost Clan made... or something like that '

Ever since there was an incident in humans where demons had been confused, I did pay attention to what I use.

Just because I'm one of them, I didn't pay enough attention to that alert.

It was sweet and stupid, you're absolutely right.

But still, I can't forgive you for ridiculing and exploiting this favor.

If it's a bad idea to be fooled.

Yeah, let's do the same thing.

I just do what I'm hit with.

◆

The day after I applied.

As I had heard, a review was conducted in the Alliance to join the Crusaders.

Unlike the adventurous vetting, this time we have to break through three items.

First, a physical examination was performed to see if there were any abnormalities in the body.

Me and Elfi broke through this without a problem.

The physical examination is followed by a magic test and a measurement of combat capability.

The sum of these two ratings determines whether you want to join the Crusaders.

Magic test first.

The test is performed using a stone that measures the amount of magic, called the "Demon Stone".

Line up in front of the stone and measure the amount of magic in turn.

Touch the Demon Test Stone and let the magic flow.

From the flowing magic, the amount of magic in the person is examined and the color of the stone changes as a result.

"Mr. Ioli is… D rated"

My rating was one step ahead of the lowest rating E.

D Rating.

This means that the amount of magic is below the crowd and barely enough to use magic.

Now if I'd let E out, I wouldn't have been able to join the crusade.

"Is that a D? You have almost zero witchcraft talent. You can only use elementary magic."

"If we don't get an A-rating in the next fight, we're not gonna be in the crusade."

The judges also look at the adventurers who have decided to join the crusade.

The adventurers' wilderness flew to me when I gave them a D rating.

like scratching it off,

"Mr. Elfi, it's an A-rating!"

He slapped the highest rating when the elphi lined up behind him was easy.

Even though the amount of magic is falling because of the magic grant that hides the race, is it A-rated?

I would have crushed the stones more if I had inspected them as they were of their original magic power.

"Awesome Elfi!"

The adventurers whistle with Hugh.

Elfi ignores the adventurers and turns his dooya face here.

I'm just tired.

Whatever this is, it's almost like Elphi's crusade has been decided.

I have to do something about it later.

Next is the measurement of combat capability.

Just like before, you fight adventurers and you get an evaluation in the process and in the results.

The opponent was a big man with successful muscles.

When a prey sees an axe, he looks like the type who slaps his opponent with his own arm.

"Unfortunately, your rating would be E. I'll crush it with a blow...!"

That's what an axed man says as he sets himself up to be proud of his muscles.

I guess I'm pretty confident because it seems all adventurers who cooperate with the review are more than B.

"Then get started!"

"Nooooo!"

The decree is hanging. No, a man using the magic of physical strengthening has penetrated.

Packing an intermission with agility that doesn't suit a giant, he waves down the axe in his hand as he releases the temper of tearing.

"…" Shocking Sword ""

The sound of kins and tall.

Then an axe off the man's hand fell to the ground.

"Is...?"

The wind is that a man doesn't know what happened.

At that moment, I stuck my sword in my defenseless throat.

"Ah..."

Late, I get the look of a man being gone.

Immediately thereafter, the decree of cessation was hung, and the examination was concluded.

"... what have you done, now"

"It's a sword technique called seismic sword, don't you know?"

The man shook his head silently.

Striking sword.

One of the interpersonal sword moves I've learned in this world.

It's a sword move that uses its power in reverse against a more powerful opponent than you to return the impact intact.

Transmits shock to the arm through the opponent's weapon, breaking the opponent's posture greatly.

Without such a high level of skill, this shock cannot be dealt with.

Well... it's a move I remember seeing the Demons use, so there may not be any reason why humans shouldn't know.

Then a few dozen minutes later, everyone's review was completed.

◆

The results of the review were communicated orally.

I'm Magic D, Battle A.

Critical, but I broke through the pass line.

Elfi is both A-rated and seems happy to say, "That's my win".

The majority of those under review had fallen without a step.

Only a few of us got in.

This time the rating was never unduly dropped, as it was last time.

When Elphi explored it, the magic was D... and an official connected to Marwin showed difficulty, but eventually it seemed to pass.

If this had been dropped, I'd have had a few thoughts.

Anyway, that's why we were able to join the crusade.

Shortly thereafter, he was briefed on the Crusaders.

The reward is basically mountain split.

However, the amount of activity that can be received varies.

The labyrinth nucleus shall be taken home and submitted to the guild.

To attend a meeting that will take place tomorrow in order to align ourselves with the adventurer.

You can get potions, weapons, and other support items from your Alliance at that location.

If you want, you can be an adventurer after a labyrinth crusade.

The Alliance is not responsible for any injuries or deaths.

Here's the thing.

With regard to the labyrinth nucleus, I will collect it for reasons such as its loss.

That's the very reason we're going into the labyrinth.

Nothing else is particularly wrong.

After receiving the explanation, he returned to the Inn to load the Labyrinth material distributed by the Alliance.

It says more about the inside than the material I've seen in the library.

It seems that these crusaders have not only been formed once or twice, but have already taken place quite a few times, labyrinth crusades.

There seem to be quite a few dead people out there who continue to fail, but there is also a lot of information about the inside with information obtained from the survivors.

The material was loaded and Elfi and his actions in the labyrinth were consulted and the day ended.

◆

The next day.

We were at a crusader meeting.

Dozens of adventurers gathered.

Everyone of them is a skilled adventurer and their average age is quite high.

Misha was at the meeting as well, but she's also pretty young.

So naturally, we float when we're only about sixteen years old on the outside.

"Hey... are those kids in? Are you all right?"

One person looks at us and says so, and Zawazawa and the adventurers talk.

"I haven't seen it, but according to what I've heard, they're both amazing. I'm breaking through with the crusaders."

"Well, weren't they the ones who were going to be adventurers?"

"... are you sure you're okay?"

They don't rate it very well either.

The man with the full body armor was grumpy about the two of us joining him.

"You know what these two guys are fighting for, right? You two are real."

So Misha sheltered us.

"Gaston, you were killed yesterday, right? Tell me how you feel."

"Ah...... ah. Sure, it was strong."

Misha calls me, and the axe man I fought yesterday is nodding awkwardly.

Though the blurring occurred to it, the meeting was inevitably to proceed.

There will be a review of the materials distributed yesterday, including the characteristics of the Purgatory Labyrinth and how to fight the demons that come out.

They then talked about each position.

The position seems to have been predetermined from time to time, to some extent.

That's why Elfi and I were turned behind the line, not long after we pinched our mouths.

The intention of "I don't expect anything from you two" has been conveyed with a hint, well there is no particular difference.

I've never made it easier.

Then about two hours later, the meeting ended.

"Don't pull your leg."

When I leave, the adventurers tell me that.

Because the magic power was D, or you hit harder than Elfi.

Well, not as much as I care.

At best, let them be bulletproof.

◆

The next day.

Finally, the Purgatory Labyrinth offense began.
