Yomigaeri no Maou

It should still be said, or human, that it was inside that box stained with a torn elongated coffin.

Many of the boxes containing a number of items were only camouflages, I guess.

I don't recognize that face peeking from inside the box, but I somehow know that he was probably the contestant in the fight competition.

I feel high magic, and obviously my body is built up, and what I'm wearing is a protective gear made of special materials.

"So it's a big win..."

When Lulu shrugged so much, it seemed that humans came out of the other boxes that Illis and Kyou worked on and opened.

"It's a person!

"Over here too!

I hear voices like that.

In the end, this carriage had about four people packed in boxes, and it looked like they were falling into a magical sleep.

Your breath is quiet, your body temperature is low, and your complexion is poor.

It is clear that if you do not curse him, he will remain asleep, and eventually he will die.

"First, let's get him out of the carriage and put him in the inn"

That's what I think, and for now I carry one of the four adventurers I carried out, and I carry them into the village inn.

Lulu alone holds one in each hand, but he won't have a choice in terms of number allocation.

In fact, it may be that Iris is more powerful, but that seemed better avoided because it is a slightly scarier sight to say that a young girl walks in with two light adult men on either side.

When I walked into the inn, the pavilion owner looked surprised, but if I explained the situation, he took it on comfortably, and told me to bring him in if there was anything else, because if he rolled me around, I would carry him each to bed.

Sweetened by that favor, the Lulu decided to go back to the carriage to find out if anyone else had been caught.

Shortly before I left the inn, I heard someone coming down from the second floor of the inn.

Perhaps the lords and merchants who have noticed that the Lulu's are carrying the adventurers out of the carriage.

I don't know how far they knew and did this.

However, I think I will always have to ask a lot of things later.

At least you have to ask where who did this behind the scenes.

That said, it is now first and foremost the rescue of those kidnapped.

Lulu and his men hurried to the carriage, and from the rest of the load, they searched for an elongated casket-shaped box like the one they had earlier opened.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

It was when I was checking out the third carriage.

"Brother!

Such a voice of Illis sounded, and Lulu saw her opening the box behind the carriage.

Iris' gaze is fixed in the box and he can see looking at the face of the person there.

Lulu approached you and looked in the open box of Illis.

Then,

"... you're Mr. Ortes"

Hikiko, with his face coming from behind Lulu, snatched Lulu's dialogue.

Lulu nodded,

"Oh, yeah."

say.

There was certainly fighting Yuri in the arena, that beautiful blonde young man, Ortes, asleep.

Now it can be said that a single purpose has been achieved.

It's also important that they were able to save the other adventurers, because the best part was still to find Ortes.

But I'm not immediately optimistic.

If you look at Ortez's face, he's still not very pale.

Seeing it, Illis nods and squeals.

"Again... you're sleeping by magic"

As Iris puts it, Ortes' sleep looks unusual.

When Lulu leans that ear towards Ortes's mouth, he does see that he is breathing slightly, but his pulse is slow, his face is blue-white, and his activity as a creature has declined overall.

If this could go on forever, it would develop into the kind of long-term sleep that Iris had on that ruin.

But Ortez's sleep, not what he said, is something he would definitely die if he held it for a long time and left it at its limit for a month and no more.

Moreover, it is not very good to leave it like this because it is gradually debilitating.

Since it has only been around two days since I fell asleep, I am fortunate to be in a state where I have no health problems if I wake up now.

"... for now, wake me up"

Yes, says Lulu, Illis,

"There are other people still sleeping in the box. After rescuing everyone from the box, it would seem better to wake them together without any hassle or magic..."

I suggested so I thought that would be the case, and decided to give priority to rescue.

Then I brought the Ortez, who were in the box in the third carriage, into the inn, and when I tried to work on the fourth, I saw someone jump out of the carriage carrying the box.

That outfit, which makes you feel like you are going to be confused by the darkness all over your body, is hard to capture by blending firmly into the darkness around where the sun has completely fallen.

On a better note, similar suitors are popping up not only from the carriages that the Lulu's tried to enter, but also from other still untouched carriages.

About four people were seen carrying casket-shaped boxes and running away somewhere in separate directions.

The box they were carrying would undoubtedly be the one with the people inside.

For a moment I wondered why only four, but I realize that an intermediate class knight and the number of advanced adventurers, if combined, would be the number of them, and I realize that the contents are probably so.

Essentially, I would say that knights are often more powerful than intermediate adventurers and have switched in the direction of grasping the higher-ranking powerful.

You can't let them get away with it because it's also harder to sense with magic if they go too far.

"Wait!

And, even if I try to raise my voice, there can't be anyone else waiting for stupid honesty in a situation like this.

Black clothes fleeing in total disregard of Lulu's voice.

And before Lulu, who tried to chase it, he let it happen, and several black clothes stood up and put up their weapons.

Daggers, one-handed swords, spears and it doesn't seem to have a very uniform feel, but that doesn't mean it's less smelly.

I can understand just how that stands.

To chase those who fled with their boxes, they first had to defeat the black clothes in front of them, and thought,

"Brother, leave this place to me first!

said Iris.

I don't have anything in that hand, but I'm guessing it's a decision that says she's strong enough with her bare hands and no problem with the extent of those in front of her.

There may also be consideration that injuries are minimal to hear a lot later.

Then Kyou, too,

"I'll do my best too ~"

I can say that with my bare hands.

I didn't even see how they were fighting with their weapons, but they still pierce that here.

That said, I know that's strong enough, so Lulu decides to leave it to them to follow the scene.

"... I'll take care of it!

As they sewed through between the black clothes, they waved their weapons to stop Lulu, but unfortunately without hitting any of them, and Lulu succeeded in leaving the spot intact.

All the escaped black clothes are in separate directions.

There was only one body of Lulu and I was instantly unsure who to go after.

But I'm pretty sure they'll rendezvous somewhere eventually.

When you think about it, it's important to catch someone and make them throw up.

And among the escaped black clothes, he strikes as the leader who was making the most sophisticated move, and Lulu sets a goal.

Fortunately, I can confirm with Lulu's sensing abilities that he is still in a position to follow.

Then Lulu checked the direction and ran away like a disease.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... man"

He noticed Lulu coming after him, and that's what those black clothes said and sighed, putting the box on his back and turning around.

Running at this speed with boxes weighing for each person is not something a normal person can do.

Being a trained person of some kind was obvious, and since other black clothes seemed capable of doing the same, it is clear that this time is some sort of organized offense.

However, looking at what you are wearing, tricks, and all sorts of other situations, I don't see any clues so far to figure out where the hell you are connected to or what kind of organization you are.

One or more of them, we need to catch these black clothes, the executioners, and ask them what's going on.

"... you gave up?

When Lulu heard that again, his black clothes shook his head.

Young voice besides thoughts, probably a boy.

It is understandable that the only thing you can see from the gap in black clothes is the eye area, but you still won't be in your twenties.

"That's not true...... I can say I gave up in a way. I wasn't even going to let one of the dead out, but hey!

That said, he'd thrown a dagger he'd taken out of somewhere.

Obviously it looks familiar and I don't know how many lives I've taken with that dagger so far.

It's just that for Lulu, that attack is not as threatening as it is.

It was easy to take and I pulled out my sword and slapped it off just before it reached my body.

But it seems the boy was reading such Lulu's behavior that he had already turned behind Lulu and cast a spell when he slapped down his dagger.

I didn't know what sorcery I was going to use, but I quickly flip myself and distance myself because I somehow understood that it was dangerous if I took it.

"... hey, let's do it"

That's what I said, staring at a far away lulu, and the boy comes packing the distance in one step.

Not a weapon, but a handknife flew in, so Lulu shunned his torso and avoided.

Lulu grabs the hand of the black clothes he captures at the end of his eyes and throws it towards the nearby tree.

However, the black clothes are also inside there, turning like a cat and landing cleverly on the trunk of the tree as it were, and bending his knees all the way down to push him towards Lulu with the momentum as it was.

Lulu still grabbed that blow and tried to disable it.

In fact, I succeeded to the point of grabbing it.

But then I slapped my body in black clothes toward the ground, and they took a good passive, and they took off my loose hand for a moment, and, once again, landed me in a slightly distant position.

Lulu, who had never had much experience of keeping people alive, exclaimed, surprised by the lightness of his fast running black clothes besides his thoughts.

"That's good... but why don't you turn to a light contractor? It's better suited to assassins and all that, you know."

It is mostly light mouthed.

The other boy also seems to have enough hiccups to respond to it, he said with a bitter smile.

"That's not the kind of home environment you're allowed to choose from... and for once, I like this job. Working for people makes me feel good."

"For people, or... who the hell are you working for?

Two, to that question Lulu heard, the boy refuses to shake his head and reveal it.

"If we make it easy, our work will be done. Isn't there something you need to do before you ask me that?

"You do... stun you, huh?

"No, no, no, no... Look, look behind you"

"Behind?"

Lulu looked back to the words, alerting the boy.

Then, in the distance - yes, by and large, I saw a firehand up around the village.

A red flame illuminates the dark forest.

"You, what...?

When I looked back again, there was no one there.

The casket-shaped box has also disappeared, apparently lost sight of it.

They couldn't even sense the magic, and that's why they disappeared as if it were Kasumi.

"How the hell...?

I didn't de-alert you.

I was going to capture it all the time with magic.

But the moment I looked back, it vanished, and I couldn't see it again.

Is it metastatic magic?

No, that shouldn't be so easy to do -.

There is no answer for thinking about it.

The reaction of the other black clothes has apparently been completely interrupted.

Exactly, I seemed to have lost track of it.

I'm pretty sure you can't be that far away in such a short time and you'll be nearby, but the woods around here are too deep to look for without a landmark.

What to do.

Should I look?

But when I was thinking about it, the words I had just told the boy made me head over.

- Isn't there something you need to do?

... Indeed, yes.

It's very regrettable, but that's unmistakable.

In the meantime, putting out that village fire.

Other than that, acknowledging that Lulu's lack of action now was a clear fact on this occasion, Lulu decided to return towards the village.
