Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

There are two types of obedient demons in Demon Rise.

One obedient demon is a good looking force to show the strength of Rise.

Dragons and Lamia hit it.

In addition, demons like Trent and Dry Ads have a role to play in making themselves known to be beneficial by showing their abilities.

So what about the other submissive?

It was the demons who fought for Rise in the shadows.

Demons with abilities they don't even want to be seen on the surface, such as Ketsey, who doesn't have combat skills but gets valuable information, and Arakune, who excels in guerrilla warfare and enemy capture.

And as a last resort, a demon is assigned to an army of shadows, especially one who never wants to fragment his abilities.

The shady demons only knew who some of the Knights were, and even more so, to some of them, Rise only knew they existed.

And now the shady demons who took Rise's orders move out.

At the Lord's command, they came down to the stage where they could do their utmost.

◆

This is the Great Demon Forest.

The realm of demons that reject humans whose demons roam.

They were there.

"Looks like Sam got caught."

When a black man speaks, the shadow of a similar costume that was around him trembles.

I can't tell if my voice is changing by any means, man or woman. It's your bad voice.

"He was caught by the demon of the man in question."

"That's just the talent I want up there. You don't just perceive us, you capture us."

"Captain, what will he do?

"Finish it. It's bad to be noticed that our country is involved in Tendo's people."

The person called the captain ordered the disposal of his companions without even showing them how to think.

"But Sam was taken by the knight of Tend. There's a good chance they'll notice you like you did."

"Then you should have them all gone. Without witnesses, the information will be leaked. And then if we bring that man back, no one will know the truth."

Inside the black outfit, five people head to town without saying anything.

This blackened group came to scout Rise, a special unit of the Kingdom of Serga.

Their purpose was to solicit a powerful demon, but if Rise did not, they also acted in secret.

That's why the Special Forces.

"That man, will you take our invitation? Assuming we're former enemies, aren't we?

"Well, but the man fought for this country and was kicked out by an incompetent army despite showing so much activity that he was called a hero. I don't care what you resent."

The respect with which Rise was driven out of the army was also known to their military ministry in the Kingdom of Serga.

The Kingdom of Tend did not represent Sole. The intelligence services of the Kingdom of Serga were excellent.

"But scouting is the biggest factor that has defeated our country………"

One of these black outfits snaps at me in an uncomfortable way.

"He's a creature who has to live to obey orders above, such as the military. If it's available, I'll bring it in with my enemies."

"But will you bother to side with the defeated country? If you think about it normally, it won't do you any good. Our country's army is depleted. I didn't expect to change my mind when I offered some money..."

"The neighborhood is about thinking up. We communicate the conditions presented above and, if we refuse, we will end them. That's all."

The word signaled.

The black outfits that broke the conversation remained silent, but one of them noticed something strange.

……

One of the black outfits tries to speak up when he sees how his buddies are mozoing.

……!?

But there was no voice.

You're supposed to be talking, but you can't speak.

I realize that other black costumes who feel uncomfortable with the condition do not speak up.

No, I noticed that the surrounding noise disappeared.

You can't hear the bugs, the roar of the beast, the leaves of the trees swinging.

A silent world.

Instantly everyone creates a circle and prepares for enemy attacks from the outside.

A leader and a man wait in the center, and the rest of his men circle and look out.

Originally, everyone moves at the behest of the leader, but because they can't have a conversation, everyone moves their gaze to look for an enemy that enters their sight.

But further shocks struck them there.

He suddenly went blind.

Tonight is the third moon, even if it's not about the full moon. I can see the surroundings somewhat in the moonlight.

And if they are trained, they will be able to see their surroundings well even in the slightest moonlight.

Even so, they became blind as if they had been blindfolded.

……!?

The black outfits show signs of agitation in a situation where no sound is heard and no eyes are seen.

They were trained as special forces in a variety of ways, but they didn't expect such a situation until now.

The black outfits confused without knowing what's going on around them or what's going on with their buddies.

Still, they rely on heavily trained special forces, a grunt, and a sense of touch and smell to explore their surroundings.

And the black outfits noticed that there was a sweet smell.

I tried to trace my memory to what smell it was, but suddenly my legs couldn't support me and I went into the ground.

Black outfits panic further about what happened.

There was also a black outfit that he realized was caused by some kind of drug, but his voice was cancelled and he could not reach the surrounding area.

I try to talk about the antidote with myself alone, but suddenly my arm stops moving and it becomes impossible to remove the medicine.

As a result, his body was unable to move one finger, and the black-covered characters were all unconscious.

◆

The darkness that covered the woods was fogged after all the black-covered figures lost consciousness.

This darkness is the blindfolded identity that blinded the black outfits.

"All locked up"

And a few demons come out of the woods.

"Obnoxious."

"That went well."

The demons honor each other's work in an easygoing way.

A half-man and a half spider, a giant mushroom with hands and feet, a little human with wings, and a black beast as if it had been inked.

They were Rise's secret army of shadows.

"What are you going to do?

The little human thing with wings. Pixie puts it on the head of a black outfit restrained by the thread of Arakune.

Pixie is also known as a flirtatious fairy, but she is also an excellent wind user.

Pixie used this force to inhibit the transmission of surrounding sounds.

"Can I grow mushrooms?

is the giant mushroom demon Matango.

This demon is literally a giant mushroom, unable to operate with agility, but able to paralyze a creature that sucked spores emanating from its own umbrella.

"Gaw!"

A black beast can yell at Matango.

"Oh, I see. He's following the boss's orders properly."

The name of the black beast is Black Dog, a horrible dog-shaped demon that appears in the graveyard.

He was able to use the power involved in the shadows, filling the woods with shadows to seal the vision of the black costumes.

"I will carry him and the others, so you will carry the men you just caught to your Lord."

"I'll take care of it. Because my body can't do it."

Pixie, a small body, left it to Matango and the others to fly back into the sky.

"Can't help it, can we carry it?"

"Gaw."

Trying to carry a black outfit like Matango gave up,

Blackdog shouted.

"Oh, are you carrying me?

When Blackdock nodded at Matango's question and expressed his affirmation, he stretched the shadow at his feet to the blackclothes.

And the shadows spread greatly beneath the black outfits, and the black outfits in their shadows sank to the ground, nay, into the shadows.

"Then withdraw -"

Under the decree of Arakune, their legions of shadows return to the LORD, Rise.

To earn an important reward, praise from the Lord.
