Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

It's causal because they want to fight with the person who attacked them with the intent to kill them.

Of course, I didn't completely trust the woman in front of me.

But at the same time, I want to believe this woman.

The reason for this is never because the woman in front of me was beautiful.

- No, that could have been a little reason, too.

Maybe - just a little bit.

Me and Grace broke into the premises of the mansion where Rodney went in, on guard.

Walking straight through the grounds, it has a simple structure that allows you to reach the entrance to the mansion.

But just because it's simple, there's no way to hide what we're trying to break in.

Naturally, I also thought of a way to get around to the back of the site.

But either way, if it's the end of the fight with Rodney, there won't be a big difference if it's been found from the beginning.

In that sense, the road to the front entrance is easy to see our actions on the other hand, there are few places and shadows where we are likely to be trapped, and it is also considered difficult to be ambushed.

With that in mind, we decided to opt for a frontal breakthrough.

As for the role, Grace will be avant-garde and I will be the rear guard.

In terms of profession (class), that form is natural because Grace is the Magic Swordsman and I am the Wizard (Sorcerer).

Grace, entrusted with the avant-garde, moves forward with a slight drop in her hips as she guards her surroundings.

Looking at it from the rear, Grace's limbs, wrapped in black, looked well reflecting the moonlight.

Whatever - I couldn't help but wonder about my left and right moving buttocks, wrapped in my pantsuit just now.

"- Was there anything bothering you?

Grace, who looked around vigilantly, whispered to me.

"There is - oh, no, there isn't!

――――

Grace looks back at me in a hurry to deny it.

"I'm more of a lotus student than I've decided to fight with.

- Please, take it seriously. "

"I'm sorry."

I got angry.

Grace follows the path to the entrance again with vigilance.

I had no choice but to get back to watching Grace's butt again.

We arrive safely at the entrance to the mansion, especially without being exposed to surprise attacks or traps.

From here on out, there may be forced breakthroughs to suit the situation.

Grace is careful and tries to open the front entrance door.

I looked carefully at the door, but although the size and material of the door could be understood as the condition (status), I could not tell whether it was locked or not.

While I understand that my abilities are powerful, I find that they are not universal.

When Grace twisted (twisted) the knob on the door, the door opened easily. Apparently, it wasn't locked.

"You're careless."

In response to my comment, Grace reacted so that she would be dumb.

"The other way around. I'm trying to lure him in, so I don't need to lock him up."

Grace makes sure there are no signs of people on the other side of the door, then goes sully into the mansion. I broke into the mansion following it, careful not to make any noise either.

When we entered the mansion, it was a big hall.

It was made quite luxuriously, with a large ascending staircase on the front of the large space. The luxurious red carpet laid on the stairs makes me aware of the mansion.

"This is - is this Rodney's lair?

To my inquiry, Grace shook her head.

"It's huge for that, so I think you're probably taking over the noble mansion."

"Exactly this big mansion is going to take a while to find a room from one end to the other."

Grace laughs small and tells me when I'm at a loss.

"In the Kingdom of Harland, the aristocratic bedroom has a custom of bearing (and) the edge and always making it upstairs to the southwest. If Rodney fits in as the master of this hall, I think he's more than likely there.

Let's head there first. "

Grace said so and ran up the stairs.

So I noticed that Grace looked like she was walking normally and didn't make any footsteps at all.

You noticed I paid attention to it, she looked back in the middle of the stairs and told me.

"It's a secret step.

"Abilities" that you can master when your secret detective skills increase.

"A move (ability) -.

Grace, if I could, I'd like you to tell me a lot about it, including after this job. "

Hearing what I said, Grace smiled huffy.

"Fine.

But Kay is ready to take down Rodney. "

"- Promise me the colors and I'll feel like I can take you down."

That's what I said, including a little strength.

Honestly, if it's been a full-scale fight with Rodney, I don't know if I can take them down, even though they're both jerks. Assuming Rodney had company, he'd be pretty desperate. That's why I want to make sure you're not mistaken.

Me and Grace reached the southwest room upstairs.

In front of me there is a door that is bigger than the room around me. That implied that the room beyond this door was something special, unlike any other room.

Grace carefully tries to hang her hand on the knob of the door after examining the area around the door and making sure there are no traps.

"Wait."

I called out to Grace, who tried to open the door, and stopped it from working.

――――

Grace is looking back at me with the knob in her hand. Her deep blue eyes stared into my eyes in an attempt to ascertain its intentions.

I make sure Grace stays still, then I “stare” at the current door.

- I can see.

Sure, there's Rodney in the back.

My ability to confirm status seems to be valid for the person behind the door.

The only problem was that I could see another person there.

"There's Rodney over here. Definitely."

- You know what I mean.

I don't know how you understood, but Grace truthfully accepts my abilities.

"There's also Asrina right on the side.

It's just that her level isn't high. So I don't know if Asrina is one of Rodney's people or if Rodney has captured her. "

"That - what is Asrina?

"I took care of her, a church girl."

Hearing that word, Grace stares me in the eye again.

What an unspeakable expression, my eyes seemed to be coming suing me.

So, what do you do?

- Rodney's gonna take him down.

I said so with determination.

What I said doesn't directly mean what to do with Asrina.

But somehow the beauty in front of me felt that she would draw the sincerity contained in the answer.

"I understand.

- I have two things to tell you from me.

First of all, I must ascertain whether Rodney is the one I seek.

But the only way to make sure of that is to try and fight Rodney.

So I'll leave Kay to interact with Rodney until he starts fighting.

Prioritize what Kay wants to know first. "

"Okay. It helps.

When it comes to battle, I turn to basic aids, so feel free to fight.

I don't have a lot of full combat experience either, so I don't know if I can stand around well. "

Hearing that, Grace smiled nicely and opened her mouth again.

"The second, assuming Rodney was the person I was looking for -

If Kay is right, it is possible that our power will not extend to Rodney.

In the struggle, if that's clear - Kay doesn't mind, look at the gaps and leave the fight. "

I stared into Grace's dark blue eyes at the words. Grace hasn't changed her face in any way.

Between me and Grace, there shouldn't be anything I trust yet. So there's no reason for Grace to take my place here.

In one way or another, I think what's hidden now is Grace's determination to defeat the enemy -

I did not respond directly to what Grace said, but gave the same answer.

- Rodney's gonna take him down.

I don't know how much it will tell her.

But I only do my best (best) with determination.

It doesn't matter what happens.

Grace smiled, breaking her expression again when she heard me say it.

"- Roger that.

Well, wish each other a good fight. "

When she muttered so (crumbling), she put her hand on the door and pushed forward.

A large door opens as it makes a noise.

What's in front of you is a lot of space.

It's a stone mansion, but there's enough room in front to call it a hall, and you can see there's beds and conditioning in the back.

There was only one light on the back of the wide, dark (lazy) space, and it swayed slightly.

One of its lights illuminates a moving figure on the bed, creating a long shadow.

Grace, who was walking vigilantly in front of me, had checked the sights going on there and stopped working completely.

- and step by step or two to collapse, lag behind.

When I hung in line with Grace, I peered into the back bed.

I was there because...

They hugged each other naked and were intertwined Rodney and Asrina.

Hey, what a jealous thing!!

Both Grace and I have lost our voices to unexpected scenarios.

But it looks like Rodney noticed us walking into the room.

He got out of bed, left Asrina intact, and went in front of me and Grace.

Rodney, of course, remains naked.

Something subtly “splendid” is unforgivable.

"I'm not really impressed with getting up to this point."

A nice man with sarah hair talks in a gracious voice until he gets tired of it.

Hearing that voice, Grace reacted with Pickle and reassembled Neil's long sword.

But when I see Rodney, I end up turning away. Seeing, my gaze is a little cute swimming.

"May I ask why you came in here?

Rodney asked me as he loosened his grin.

Even if he is naked and bluffing, he looks like he is something. Hate.

I decided to get to the core early because it wouldn't even start.

"Clancy's priest doesn't mind a lot of raw odor."

I say as I sneer at the rear Asrina.

Athlina at the time remained lying in bed. Rodney never looks back at her, and answers with his arms together without changing his expression.

"It's not like that.

Either that or I'm something special. "

I didn't show you my tail. But when I heard the word "special," I laughed naggingly.

"I see...

You're a Clancy priest, but you're also an Arabella apostle, so you're special. "

The moment he heard the word "Arabella," Rodney clearly narrowed his eyes.

But still, the spare face hasn't collapsed.

"- I see, are you still the Messenger of Clancy?"

The moment the word "apostle of Clancy” was thrown at me, a sharp pain ran on my head. Probably because of Clancy's “constraint”.

I didn't try to break the "constraint” myself this time, but it seems that even if someone throws something closer to the "constraint” at me, it has an impact. This is a bit of a hassle.

I went on without touching the part called "Clancy's Apostle”.

"I suspected you from the beginning."

"- Whew."

Rodney is silent, urging my next statement.

When I turned my consciousness to Asrina, who was still sleeping in bed, I watched her.

Asrina, with her face up, is wandering her gaze toward an unspeakable place. Obviously it didn't seem like a normal state.

Her condition doesn't look very good because of the dark room, but I can check the condition (status) without any problems with this brightness.

Having immediately “gazed” at Asrina and checked her condition (status), I became more certain of the certainty in myself.

"Asrina said you helped me fall in the Lumen Forest.

I thought so at first.

But I knew the Lumen Forest, and I reached Kobold Pond, where I had fallen, and I was certain.

It means I wasn't saved by you, I was killed by you.

――――

Rodney's expression doesn't work.

Grace, on the other hand, turned her gaze towards me.

I can't help it. Normally, what I said is rather strange.

But - as a result of combining various pieces of information, I have a certain certainty in the idea.

“Arabella”, called the Evil God, and its “apostle”, Rodney.

Perhaps “Arabella” is a hostile force to Clancy, who is the subject of people's faith.

The “apostle", Rodney, said, "There are signs of Clancy," and went into the Lumen Forest alone.

I was dying when I defeated Kobold. But he's not dead.

Over time, I was supposed to recover from my self-healing skills.

But the next time I woke up, I was transported to Rodney's church.

After activating Clancy's protection under the name ”Constraint" and restoring her life.

This is the only way I could have been killed by a different Kobold than the one I defeated.

But...

"The Red Kobold I fought in the Lumen Forest and the Asrina there have something in common."

"Well, what do you have in common?

"I'm fascinated by your skills." That's what we have in common.

Rodney, hearing it, laughed wickedly.

"- I see you have some special abilities."

"It's not special enough to get a fallen grown man out of the woods with a bad scaffold on his own."

I stick to events that have become the starting point of my doubts.

What I felt as I explored the Lumen Forest and reached Kobold Pond was poor scaffolding and difficulty walking in the woods.

Through it, with a large adult in charge, he returns to the church -.

I could just imagine how unusual that was.

"Light attribute magic has not only healing, but magic that allows you to move around the space called" Transition of Light (Gate). "

Did you know?

Rodney suggests that he used a magic of light attributes in response to my point.

But I laughed when I heard the words.

"- No, you can't.

Anyway, you don't bother with light attributes, because you're using "water attribute recovery magic."

The reason you have to is simple.

Because your attribute is a "dark attribute” where the magic of the light attribute cannot be used. "

――――

The look on Rodney's face when he heard my words turned out to be hard and strong.
