Episode 91. 7 Paladins (1)
As soon as I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 3, What I saw was the face of Lakhe, who was sleeping while hugging the totem tightly.
The place is… It’s in a cave. A rustling sound is heard.
Did you use a lot of effort? The sun hasn’t set yet, so you’re sleeping.
– …
This is my first time seeing defenseless Lakhe. Now, let’s take a look at his sleeping face.
“Malak?”
Lakhe’s sweet sleep was short-lived. Lakhe must have sensed that I had descended on the totem because he immediately opened his eyes.
It seems like only a few seconds have passed since I transferred my consciousness, but it feels really fast.
– You must have been tired.
“I couldn’t sleep because I was moving the magic stone in the early morning.”
Lakhe answered after stroking his face a few times. It’s kind of funny how he somehow tries to look solemn.
I briefly praised Lakhe, who said he moved the magic stone four times.
Last time I heard, Kanto moved three magic stone chests with his warriors… Including Rake four times and me twice, I collected it nine times.
Harry said that if he collects it twelve times, he can move the colossus.
I’m going to Matba with Lakhe and pick up the magic stone there, so I only need to go around two areas.
You can leave this to Kanto, who specializes in automatic hunting. He’s a very neglected character.
“It’s been a long time.”
Lake gave a slightly delayed greeting.
– I see. It’s been a week.
“Are you very busy?”
– Moved between various tribes.
It seems like his expression has become somewhat gloomy.
“I didn’t know you wouldn’t come visit me even once.”
– …
Uh… That was because I was addicted to the totem golem flavor. Sorry.
“When the dark clouds appeared, I thought you would come.”
I didn’t go there because I thought Lake would be good at it.
Anyway, you look very sad, so I should at least say something nice.
This is the so-called likeability management.
Lakhe is the strongest unit I have. It is necessary to manage and maintain it in this way.
From Noble mtl dot com
… Of course she doesn’t think of her as just a unit.
– I was always thinking about you.
This is real. She said she thought a lot about Lakhe when she was ambushed by the centipede infestations and when she was beaten by the hippopotamus demon.
If only there was Lakhe… There were many times when I wanted to do this.
“…What were your thoughts?”
Lakhe’s expression softens a little.
– I think things would have turned out better if you were by my side.
Yes. What kind of totem golem is a totem golem? To a mid-level demon, he turns into a tin can.
If you get support, Lakhe is the best, as he can kill three mid-level demons. Cancer.
“Is that so?”
The corners of Lakhe’s mouth rose slightly. She wants to grin, but seems to be holding back.
If you look at things like this, you can’t lie about your age. In terms of Earth, she is a freshman in college.
You probably won’t be able to hide your emotions as well as a skilled adult like me.
After a brief chat, we got to the point.
– Besides Maseok, there is one more reason to go to the supermarket.
She told her about the Black Coral Tribe, the Sea People, and the Loa Tuga.
– Asha, the priest of the Black Coral Tribe, became the incarnation of Fighting Ga.
“Incarnation… If humans accept the power of God, it will not end well. “You made a bold choice.”
Okay. It’s important from now on.
– I decided to defeat them.
Although he is a demigod, Lace is also a barbarian who serves Loa. It must be difficult for her to face her Loa.
It is natural to feel rejected. She continued talking, wondering what she should do to convince Lakhe.
– Asha, she will help me manifest, so she asked me to take her as my bride. And…
“Bride?”
Lakhe, who had been listening calmly until now, frowned and reacted violently.
If you cut me off, it means you were very embarrassed.
Ah, that’s right.
Lakhe is my passionate fan. She likes me so much that she sleeps hugging my figurine, or rather, my totem.
It is natural for any fanatic to be angry about dating rumors.
Let’s inflame this anger a little more. I’m sorry for feeling like I’m manipulating your emotions, but since it’s an urgent situation, I decided to push the guilt aside.
Sorry, Lakhe!
– That’s right. He said he would have children with me and rule the earth with them.
“Child? Ha, I guess I don’t even know the topic. At best, it’s a human subject who borrows the power of a god.”
Lakhe’s eyes are quietly burning. He seems genuinely angry.
“Let’s go. “I will kill it on my way to get the magic stone.”
Okay. ‘Inducing anger’ is a success.
– Are you okay? It’s about confronting Loa.
I asked one more time just in case. Because to barbarians, Loa is special.
“It doesn’t matter whether the enemy is Loa or not.”
I expected something like ‘It’s okay!’ Or ‘Let’s try something!’, But the answer was completely different from what I expected.
“In the first place, I don’t serve Malak because he is a loa.”
Lakhe looked at me. Totem No. 3, To be exact.
“I serve you because you are kind Malak.”
– … Is it.
I didn’t expect to hear such warm, or even touching, words.
If the real me, not the totem, was in front of me, I would be looking at the floor with a red face right now.
I’m weak against this kind of fastball.
“It’s not a lie.”
After speaking, Lakhe was avoiding his gaze as if he was embarrassed. And yet, should it be true of a lady that she does not go back on what she said?
“…”
– …
Prolonged silence is not good.
“Matva is a long way away, so it would be difficult to take the entire tribal alliance there.”
That was a nice remark, Lakhe. I was looking for something to say too.
– That’s right. I think we should both move.
At first, she thought about leading Asha to fight her shadow demon. The problem is that to get to Tibera, you must pass through Symphonia.
You should know what they are going to do. If you bring it in for no reason, it could cause great damage to the tribal alliance.
– We have to deal with them before they run amok any further.
I don’t know how strong Asha and the Black Coral Tribe are. It didn’t feel as threatening as a high-ranking devil?
If you use the Totem of Confusion well, you might be able to defeat it.
If Hanna’s message reached the Dina Commandos, they would also be moving towards Matba.
If that doesn’t work, I’ll try to get help from the Dina Special Forces. It would be okay to slowly reveal his identity and ask for cooperation from the paladins.
Originally, he tried to hide his identity until he gained the power to defeat a high-ranking demon. But things have changed.
Before people like Tuga start trolling further, I think I need to clearly reveal my identity and establish my own position.
There is also an expectation that a smart Princess Dina will be able to communicate.
“It’s been a while since Malak and I are moving.”
Lakhe nodded his head with a satisfied expression.
Uh… She didn’t tell me she was going to meet Hannah. Of course, I didn’t even talk about Dina’s special forces.
Well, let’s take it slow. Lakhe also knows that Hannah is in Matba. You should have guessed it.
– I will stop by the Tribal Federation for a moment.
The time has come to entrust automatic hunting to Kanto. He also had to make sure Harry was well prepared to pilot the Colossus.
Leaving behind Lakhe, who looked a little disappointed, I moved my consciousness to Totem No. 1.
“Ah, you came.”
Paya is cleaning Totem No. 1. Harry was nowhere to be seen.
– Wizard Harry has something to do.
“Harry is currently in sparring. “You are working hard to improve your physical strength.”
You are steadily preparing to ride the colossus. Shall we give Kanto a quest and go see the sights?
I can’t stand sparring from a 70-year-old grandfather.
She asked if I could carry her totem number 2 and move it.
The totem golem had many damaged parts, so it was buried in the warehouse, and only Totem No. 2 Was taken out and placed on the altar.
I plan to repair the totem golem after dealing with the shadow demon. It would be a bit rude to leave the repairs to Harry, who will soon be riding the Colossus.
“Yes!”
Paya responded bravely and left the altar with Totem No. 2. The way she walks is cute.
“hahahahaha! Give me three days! “I, Kanto, will bring plenty of it.”
I gave a quest to Kanto, the son of a pair of bastards playing with women in the square, and headed to the sparring grounds.
I’m so busy, but it’s disgusting to see you having fun alone. Why are you the only one who hangs out with girls?!
“Hey, hey!”
You can see Harry getting beaten up by Dodo. He looked a little fat, perhaps because he was wearing padded cloth armor.
“The old man is very serious.”
Our young milk jug Dodo is working as a training instructor. Surprisingly, he had the qualities of a good teacher.
You’ve had a good sense of humor since you taught Noah.
“Inum! Don’t you have a mother or a father? !”
Harry, who was beaten to the floor, screamed. Tendons rose in Dodo’s head upon hearing the sudden padding, but now is not the time to worry about such things.
– Wizard Harry.
He called Harry and told him to go to the underground lab and stand by as he was almost ready to awaken the Colossus.
“Well, it’s almost time to go. Even the giant god needs some work done.”
The sight of Harry stroking his beard, wearing cloth armor that was a mess of dirt and dust, was, to say the least, unsightly.
– I will attach warriors. Start today.
“I will.”
Okay. Now all you have to do is solve one thing.
[Hannah.]
Sent Hannah her private message.
[Netcama: Why?]
[Don’t be surprised.]
[Netcama: Why are you suddenly speaking so seriously? Anxiously]
[Malak, the loa of the barbarians, is real.]
The time has come for her to tell her truth as well. It may be only a small part of the truth.
