Yomigaeri no Maou

"Well, we've had breakfast, and it's time to go out?

That's how Lulu shrugged, making sure everyone emptied the plates lined up on the table in front of him.

Yesterday, he slept well and was in good physical condition.

Lulu stayed up for a little while, but originally had a weaker sleep appetite than a normal human race (human), and is in a satisfying physique without actually having to sleep so much.

Therefore, even after staying up late, it does not seem that you are sleepy and unwilling to move.

"Right. Shall we? I knew there was a carriage out even at the Asuos mine, so let's get on with it. He said he'd be there in about half an hour."

That's what Ortes said in response to Lulu's words.

Lulu is a little surprised by the content of the story.

And

"Were you looking into it? You're all set. That's an intermediate adventurer..."

I joked and said that, but as a result, Ortes and Rusty were going to see me with a jit eye.

Rusty sighed and said, confused, wondering why.

"You say you're ready, or you just went to the Zepheha Adventurers Union (Guild) yesterday and asked me what I needed. I invited him, but Lulu wouldn't react by messing with his sword..."

"What. Were you? That's... I'm sorry for what I said. Didn't even notice..."

I see. I'm convinced that's what it was like when I thought their gaze hurt so badly, and I remember how sorry I was for leaving the job to the two of them.

It's a request the three of us took.

Naturally Lulu should have followed closely too......

But to the depressed Lulu, the two laugh softening their gaze all the time.

"Well, that's fine. We're still your senior adventurers. [M] We're better at that kind of preparation."

That's what Ortes says, and Rusty goes on too.

"That's what I'm talking about. Just be sure to do that if you ever get a favor with someone other than us. Otherwise I can taste it... Well, there are things about Lulu that I can taste but it doesn't seem to be a problem at all. There won't be anyone who can fight and win... Let me rely on Lulu to explore the pits today."

I know it doesn't really mean I'll leave all the fighting to Lulu, but for what I did yesterday, I'll tell him to put it on and work.

In view of his actions yesterday, there was nothing at all to dispute, and Lulu nodded disappointingly.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

They say there are a lot of carriages out to the Asos mine for the miners usually, but not here these days, like they're running for adventurers heading into the investigation.

Naturally, the fare is a little higher, and it would be a hell of a place to go in conjunction with the price you paid for the carriage when you came to Zepheha.

I appreciate Ortes' pricing skills.

By the way, according to what I asked you about the adventurers, about ten pairs of adventurer parties have already gone to the mine before the Lulu's, but so far there are about two pairs of parties back.

The rest will be dead or still working hard in the pit, that is.

He told me that even for the party he returned to, he decided to give up because the investigation was expected to be quite difficult to navigate, and I guess he really gave up and went home more than the report on achieving the request has yet to be made anywhere.

If you want to investigate the pit, be careful, and they will leave our carriage in front of the mine on your way home.

We need to clear it up by about evening and return to the King's Capital on a carriage that runs at night.

It's a carriage with escorts, so naturally, the price is higher, but if you even get rid of the request, you can still make enough money.

If they failed, they would simply come to tourism with a huge deficit, so they could fail, even if there was a premise that the three of them were quite in the mood.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Oh, here we go again. Are you adventurers, too?

As we approached the mine pit, there were some dusty, hut-like things around it, and one miner and a man with a thought and beard just came out of one of them to ask the Lulu's.

Ortes nodded,

"Yes. Yes, but... are there many adventurers here after all?

The miner nodded and laughed at the question.

"Oh, he's coming. He's coming.... That said, he's probably more or less dead? Only two pairs came back, but it was scratchy and it didn't look like they were looking for each other anymore."

After all, it seemed as though your man was right, and Lulu and his men looked at each other and nearly sighed.

It's a pretty tough request, which I was more or less aware of, but I could understand the story alone by saying that it might be harder than I thought.

Then Ortes asks further.

"Are there only adventurers in there? What other colleagues are you…?

If there were any other miners or anything else, it would be my intention to finally tell you to help.

But the miner shook his head,

"I was inside when the demons sprung up, too. There's no one left who couldn't escape. He's a monster bait. So, you guys don't have to worry about it... so it would be helpful if you could bring me some artifacts if you could, but don't push it. The reward…"

That's what the miners have said and offered quite a bit of forehead.

But when Ortes looked Lulu and Rusty in the eye and nodded, he shook his head at the miner and answered.

"No. This is only the last time, so you don't need a reward. If I bring it... why don't I give it to you?

The miner opened his eyes in surprise at the answer and said:

"You've had your favorite adventurer again for a long time. You should keep your mouth shut at times like this...... well fine. Right. Just give it to me. I'm in that cabin. By the way, once I introduce myself, I'm the one doing the miner's head here, and I say Rymond. Nice to meet you, ladies."

Surprisingly, he was a person with a position there, and he greeted me that way.

Lulu and the others will be named as well, then they will hear about the fine pits and so on and decide to head inside.

And when Lulu and the others were about to start walking, the miners said, and added one piece of information.

"The living miner. Well, I don't think there's enough in there, but there was one guy who went inside besides the adventurer."

The three thought it was something other than an adventurer to have a human walking in alone in a dangerous pit where demons were occurring, but silently ask for the rest of it.

Then the miner said.

"Oh, he was a priest. Besides, it's a woman's. I hung a big sword on my hips and thought something had changed..."

A goddess with a sword hanging on her waist.

In that word, Lulu remembered one female cleric he met a while ago at the church in the castle city of Final.

But at that time, she told me that she would follow the directions that would keep her away from the King's Capital.

Lulu decided to forget the story, as it was supposed to come across here.

Besides, if we're really in the pit, we just need to see each other.

At that time, she told me a lot about history.

That is very interesting, and I have the impression that that story is by far the best and that precise things were told about the battle between the ancient demons and the brave.

At that time I thought there would be many similar stories left in the books if I went to Wang Du's library, but there was actually nothing like that.

Some questions I didn't think of when I was talking to that female cleric, and I thought if I could see her again, I'd like to see her.

Yes, there are a number of stories I'd like to hear from her, and there may be some hint about the old days in there.

Nevertheless, we must not forget our original purpose.

Lulu and the others came looking for the cause of the demonic mass outbreak in the Asuos mine.

That's what I think and switch my head.

He went to the pit, thanking Rymond, the miner who told me so much about it, and telling me that he would surely collect the artifacts.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

It's dark in the pit, and it's hard to walk underfoot.

For once, there is an equal interval of lights that activate the magic power put in the demonic stone as fuel on the dug wall, but whether it is to reduce expenses, the number is small, and the amount of light is narrowed down and it is still difficult to see underfoot.

Lulu has no choice but to secure the lights by magic, but at best it can only illuminate up to about five meters ahead, a delicate distance if the enemy can react if it appears.

This is not so much a problem with the amount of magic in Lulu or the skill of witchcraft, but because of the nature of something called lighting witchcraft, this cannot be improved even with Lulu.

If you don't mind doing it, you can recall the light moss that will illuminate the inside of the pit forever with a lot of magic, but if you do that, you don't know what they'll say later, and it's troublesome to remove it again to avoid it.

Lulu remembered carelessly, only to be satisfied with securing vision by a sphere of light covering a subtle distance.

But from Ortes and Rusty, that still seemed enough.

Rusty praised me that Mi and Yuri could not illuminate the area as much with the magic they could use, and Ortes was better at it than any sorcerer I had ever worked with.

Walking through the pit with vigilance, several bodies and bones were also found.

At that time, two of the three guarded the perimeter, and the other one went on a search for the artifact.

The collected artifacts were to be kept in Lulu's bag.

At that time, Ortez was surprised that Lulu's bag was specially made by his own hand and could pack much more than he looked.

Rusty was not greatly surprised because he had seen it in the village.

Well, even if it was a first glance, Rusty might have ended with a word of

In that way, the search for the pit has been going well for some time, but they can't always do that.

I heard some footsteps from far away.

"... a demon?

That's what Rusty asks.

It's just a little too heavy for a human thing, and enough to hear something like a noise mixed with footsteps, a voice that's not a language.

"Eighty-nine in ten. I guess so. You ready to go?

Yes, Lulu said.

Rusty and Ortes nodded at the voice and set up their weapons.

In the narrow space of the pit, it is already up to the three of them to form a formation in the carriage until they come to the mine.

Rusty fights as an avant-garde who cuts in aggressively and enters the middle guard in the form of Ortes aiding it.

And Lulu's proficiency in witchcraft led him to be in charge of two aids as a guard and powerful witchcraft activation in the event of the emergence of a large number of enemies.

Usually it's suicidal to say things like using destructive witchcraft in a place like a pit, but we both know that Lulu's witchcraft manipulation technology is almost as close to divine business as it gets.

For that reason, I relieved myself that I wouldn't have to worry about failing to control it and burying it alive.

Sometimes I just felt confident that I would do whatever I wanted to do when I had to.

The avant-garde is Rusty because he has barely completed the kind of magic he can use in action.

Compared to Rusty, Ortez could use quite a bit of witchcraft, and as a swordsman, he was there in arms, so he was supposed to say that it would be best for him to hit Rusty's aid.

Plus, Rusty, who hasn't been an intermediate adventurer for days, should have the most experience in action.

Things As for the part about saying battle, I can't think of anything wrong with Lulu, and Ortes can just say veteran enough.

Rusty's avant-garde service will be the most experienced path.

In fact, the few demons that emerged were demons to be described as even the dragon climbing gates for intermediate adventurers: trolls and ghosts (augs), and Rusty, who preceded such demons, seemed to have a temper.

And Rusty goes towards such a demon, kicking into the ground.

Looking at it, Lulu thought it might be a good thing Rusty said there was no stray.

Although, I have trouble being very reckless.

Lulu and Ortez went into the fight against the demons to assist Rusty in that way, following him perfectly.
