Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 87: Strange Doors

Rusty and Ortez broke it down faster than they thought Morgan would.

Especially since Ortes had an atmosphere where she was very alert, he even thought he might say that maybe he couldn't get along, but he never said that at all.

Hi, they were feeling a lot uncomfortable about Morgan's cat-bearing cleric.

My actual personality was revealed and I seemed convinced.

In addition,

"Besides, it seemed like Lulu could easily be fooled... we met before, and we met again here, and I was wondering what kind of a beauty bureau it was. It wasn't like that at all."

From what he said, it seems that the majority of the reasons Ortes was wary of Morgan stemmed from his face-to-face knowledge with Lulu.

I also feel understandable that in Lulu, which certainly doesn't involve one Ortes price, it seems easy to be fooled.

But as a Lulu, I had the pride that I was once a demon king, so I wouldn't be fooled so easily.

Whether that's actually correct would be to make Lulu observe from the fact that when he used to be a demon king, he was close to throwing round to the neighbors for common business other than battle and soldier inspiration.

As for Lulu, he thinks he was a solid demon king, but if he points out that he said so, he doesn't make a ghoul of noise either.

There is no one here who can point that out.

Lulu and the others had now left the open space where they met Morgan and had been walking for some time.

From that place, there were many pits, and it was difficult to determine which one to search, but there were four of them, and then it was decided by a majority vote, one of them.

In fact, I don't know which pit to follow, so I felt like I had nothing else to decide.

As a result of the majority vote, Lulu and Morgan chose the same pit, and Rusty and Ortes other pieces, so it was decided on the pit the Lulu and the others chose, but the choice seemed right.

"... I feel strong magic."

Morgan, walking ahead, said so, stopping once.

Originally, maybe the Lulu should move on, not the Morgan, who is a woman, but she herself hoped for the front, and in this quest, there were times when Rusty was avant-garde, Lulu and Ortes were also well divided with the middle guard, and Morgan made the juxtaposition decision to go ahead, a little behind it, with Rusty, and Ortes and Lulu.

I've encountered demons about twice in this line, but I've been able to bury them intact without a problem twice, so I guess it's not a bad division of roles.

Also, think about giving Rusty his experience, or the less powerful demon - albeit intermediate-equivalent - but gave way to Rusty, who Morgan tried to deal with only particularly powerful demons, and then focused on aiding him.

It seems good to say that he is not an adventurer, but he is also a very dependable senior swordsman.

She stopped.

Moreover, it is a mixed and serious look of some vigilance that I did not show when I met the demon earlier.

Ortes and Rusty followed that word firmly, and if Lulu also tried to concentrate on whether he could sense magic, he could certainly detect that strong magic existed in the space ahead.

"... you're on the move"

When Lulu muttered so, Morgan nodded to it and agreed.

"Right. Doesn't look like a demon sword or magic appliance... are you ready?

Then Morgan looks back and asks the Lulu's.

That is, confirmation on the assumption that the magical objects confirmed by Lulu and Morgan are likely enemies.

Maybe it's just a hopeful observation to assume that they survive safely in this pit in the meantime, not possibly an adventurer who went in first, but hasn't been back in a while.

Probably, enemy.

Besides, I should have considered it a demon.

When everyone understands that and confirms that they nodded, Morgan shows that he moves on with a hand gesture.

The lululu followed it gently into the back.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Reaching near the origin of the great source of magic, there was an extremely unnatural gate situated in a place called the mine.

I'm not sure about the material, but it's understandable it's metal.

It doesn't seem to be long since it was made yet, with few scratches and no rust.

"... why this stuff"

Rusty leans his neck and squeals.

Ortes nodded at the words, too,

"Absolutely. I have no idea why... but I thought you just said there was something here. I'm guessing it's the other way around."

Look at this door, and there's probably nothing that won't get to that answer.

Perhaps someone who created this door here is ahead of us.

And I guess that's the bearer of the magic Lulu and Morgan felt.

That's why the four of them checked each other's readiness again in front of the door, and then,

"Let's go!

That's what I said and put my hand on the door.

- Too much.

and the four of them felt a less favorable odor coming on the wind from beyond the door making a noise and opening it.

The answer pops into the eyes of four people before making sure what the hell this smells like.

"Demons...... maybe?

There were several metal platforms in the room that were spread out in the doors, and there were trolls and ghosts (orgasms) and demons lying on them.

Moreover, they are dissected or unnaturally wounded and appear to be intolerable to see.

I wonder if the cause of the odor is the corpse of those demons.

In addition, in the deepest part of it, there was a human-like presence that was writing something while observing a cylindrical tank.

He is a man with intelligent blue eyes, with dark hair of blush, wearing a magician's robe.

When he noticed the lululu who came into the room, he stared at the four of them and tilted his neck.

"... oh. Are you a customer?

It even looks like a normal being.

It has great magic, but that's just it, and nothing else unnatural can be found out of his own appearance.

However, it is clear that the situation is extremely unnatural and that we have to ask why we are here and what we are doing.

The owner of this mine is the Marquis of Paraxeno, Lord Zepheha, because it is obvious from the circumstances that he is not authorized to do so.

So Lulu asked.

"Who are you? What the hell are you doing here? Whose permission did you get to do this here..."

That's what Lulu said as he stared at the remains of several demons lying on the platform.

The slightly harsh tone is that this situation is the result of the fact that no matter what you think, you don't seem to be able to do anything legitimate.

To such Lulu's words, the man told him to state the obvious without breaking his serene expression.

"I can't answer so many questions at a time... why don't we answer them one by one? First, the first. I'm talking about someone. My name is Bernfriet-Kepler. Researchers like…"

"Researcher...?

Ortes couldn't understand, tilted his neck in the atmosphere he said.

But if you're just going to talk about appearance, wrap your robe around it and make it feel like you're discussing something. The man is convincing if you say researcher.

But even if you give up a hundred steps, and that's the truth, even if you solve it, why are you doing research here?

Depending on the answer, we have to consider his treatment.

Yeah, the four of them thought.

"Yes, researchers. I don't know what you're researching... but here's the answer to the second question. I am studying here the ecology of organisms and their potential. I'm sure you'll understand."

That being said, Bernfleet looked at the demons lying down.

I was studying their ecology here.

So it's autopsied, I guess.

There are no particular arrangements for the treatment of demons, but their human freedom, no matter how they are captured and treated.

Even if you dissected it this way, you can't do this to him just because you won't be disputed about it itself.

And Bernfleet answered his last question.

"And with whose permission, if I dare say so, as my own exploratory desire may be? I mean, no permission."

"This mine belongs to the Marquis of Baraxeno. It is not permitted to enter or use on its own. I take it upon myself to study it, but I can't admit to doing it here"

To such Lulu's words, Bernfleet tilted his neck and said:

"... Hmm. So what about you guys?

"As adventurers, we are here on request. A massive outbreak of demons has recently occurred here, so I've been asked to investigate the cause. Bernfleet. You're not, are you? There are also a lot of demons. It's dangerous, and you better get out of here."

The dialogue was also concerned about Bernfleet himself.

I guess I have enough skill to capture trolls and ghosts (augs) because I'm letting them lay on the platform, but still not enough to be able to do this kind of superior demon (monster) that Morgan was fighting just now.

If so, he should leave early.

Otherwise, they'll kill you.

That's what I thought.

But Bernfleet laughs at Lulu's words and says:

"Ha. I can't do that. I have to study it here."

"That said, it's dangerous here, isn't it? Earlier, even advanced class adventurers confirmed the emergence of dangerous demons. Just because you can defeat trolls and ghosts (augs), overconfident your arms will suit your painful eyes"

"Well... by the way, what kind of demon is that?

tilting his neck. That's what Bernfleet asks, so Morgan, who actually knocked him down, answered.

"... Trollmage or the Ghost Knight. Strong inside..."

"Hahaha! I see!"

That's what I was about to say, and Bernfleet laughed happily.

Then,

"... Was it you who defeated them? On the street, once we put him on sentry, he shouldn't be back."

That's what I told Lulu and the others.

It was clear from the look of it that he was involved in hostility towards the Lulu people, and then he understood that he would be involved in the outbreak of the earlier, high-ranking demons that were not supposed to appear in this place, and the four stood, relative to Bernfleet.

"... I mean, did you have that demon?

When Rusty asked, Bernfleet nodded and replied.

"Oh yeah...... my research is the exploration of the ecology and possibilities of creatures. We are studying here how low-ranking demons can be elevated to a higher being by any means possible... The demons you defeated were masterpieces created using the flesh and magic of these and the adventurers who came here... You don't know, but those demons were originally water demons (slimes). I took the time to get there..."

I don't know how to do a lowly demon, but I guess he knows how to evolve it to the top.

Even when in a natural state, demons can certainly raise the ranks of their existence, but rarely, it should be impossible in modern times to happen artificially.

They're making that possible, who the hell is the man in front of you?

That's what bothers me, and Lulu asks Bernfleet.

"... what the hell are you?

Bernfleet laughs when he realizes that the question is the same as what was just asked.

But you also understood that the question was different from what I was hearing.

Bernfleet, who deepened his grin and turned it into something evil, answered Lulu with an intact look.

"Something about me. That's what I said earlier. Bernfriet-Kepler. The profession is a researcher... but there's one thing I forgot to add earlier. I just remembered that."

Feel the agglomeration of magic.

Not as powerful as Lulu, but powerful enough and great magic.

Perhaps you're willing to attack me the moment you answer.

In Ortes and Rusty, this amount of magic can be tough to deal with.

With that in mind, Lulu stretches a strong bond so that no harm is done to the two of them.

Slowly so that Bernfleet doesn't notice.

And Bernfleet said.

"I, Bernfleet. Researchers... and ancient demons!

Lulu is surprised by the dialogue.

But Bernfleet didn't give such a lull any more time to ask questions or anything.

Bernfleet has been shouting and indulging in powerful sorcery.

Neither Rusty nor Ortes have been able to react to that without chanting.

The flames wrapped the entire room and burned it red.

On the other side of the flame, there was a Bernfleet laugh.
