245 – Summer. festival. Fireworks #20
Tisiphone is a hard woman.
He behaves like an adult who has gone through all sorts of ups and downs even though he is only in his second year at Ludens.
I don’t laugh and I don’t get angry.
Can you say he’s the toughest of the three twin sisters?
But.
Even Tisiphone had what could be called a weakness.
Assuming that it is natural for the three Enieris sisters to receive additional damage from the light attribute.
Tisiphone’s weakness is… .
“Teddy bear?”
Enio, who was watching what I was doing, seemed to finally figure out what I was doing.
“You’re making a teddy bear.”
“yes.”
I made a teddy bear using cloth and cotton.
Recently, while making the armor [Blaze Feeder], my sewing skill level has risen considerably.
Gather the cotton like that, add a cloth, and make eyes with buttons, and you’re done.
Pyorolong-.
After the starlight of the production completion burst, the letters came to mind.
「Teddy Bear: Cute appearance. It looks like something children and fairies would like.”
I’m quite satisfied.
The sewing skill proficiency also rose.
Now all you have to do is give this to Tisiphone.
“Why a teddy bear?”
I answered lightly at Enio’s question.
“Tisiphone likes it.”
Tisiphone claims to be a ruthless assassin herself, but in fact she is a girl who has not yet graduated from school.
It’s a high school girl assassin.
Therefore, the setting that secretly likes cute or lovely things.
There were quite a few people who liked the gap.
anyway.
If Tisiphone’s affinity is raised, the difficulty level of the boss battle against Tisiphone will decrease.
Does the pattern change depending on the preference?
If I had known it would be like this, I would have taken it with more than trust.
It’s hard in many ways if you try to work late before the quest.
“Teddy bear… .”
Enio accepted the teddy bear I made.
Then, try to press or pull it with your hands here and there.
I thought they were trying to test if the durability was strong.
Now that I saw it, those eyes resembled those little seven-year-olds over there staring at their teddy bears.
“I’ll make yours later.”
“yes?”
Did Enio also have a liking for the teddy bear?
As far as I know, it wasn’t, but even in Ludens, which has become a reality, what can be called a liking system can’t be 100% accurate, so that’s why.
“Now then, guide me to where Tisiphone is.”
I don’t know where Tisiphone is in this darkness.
Enio would have known.
However, Enio hugged the teddy bear and said.
“But it can be really dangerous. Although Tisiphone did not harm me. It wouldn’t be strange for Viktor to attack you without hesitation.”
“I will take care of that.”
It was a time when I was moderately confident.
– Hateful… !
– Someone catch this guy… !
There, at the entrance of this shadow town, a commotion was felt.
Maybe something bad happened?
For example, the torches at the entrance of the village went out due to negligence and monsters came in.
Or it could be that an incident I didn’t know about exploded.
“Enio, let’s go too.”
“That would be nice.”
I quickly ran to see what the situation was.
Then, there, several people surrounded the struggling guy and heated up.
“Tie tight! You never know what you’re going to do!”
“You naughty boy! They came to steal our food again!”
“hehehehe… !”
this scream.
This was something I was used to by now.
I looked at the nymph with long orange hair.
The guy who was tied up by people struggled as if he would run out of breath at any moment, and it looked like a squirrel caught by a hunter, and it was even pitiful.
“Arnoi, what the hell are you doing there?”
“This, this voice… ! Chef Victor… ! Hurry up and release this Arnoi from his nymphophobic restraints… ! According to the Special Act on the Protection of Nymphs, nymphs are not arbitrarily restrained… !”
I don’t know if there is such a thing as a special law to protect nymphs.
There seemed to be no particular reason for Arnoi to be tied up by the villagers.
However, the villagers began to look at me rather nervously, as Arnoi pretended to know.
“Are you familiar with the nymph?”
“Could that guy be a loser too… ?”
Something strange is going on.
I don’t want to draw the sword from Enio’s acquaintances.
“for a moment.”
Then Enio spoke.
“What is this? Why did you keep Arnoi tied up?”
Enio was still known as ‘lady’ to the villagers.
At Enio’s question, the villagers also softened their guard a little.
Norad, the hunter and village chief, says.
“A nymph is a mean fellow. They come to our village and put out torches or steal food. Especially in the case of sugar or honey, he takes everything.”
“Is there sugar or honey here too… ?”
Arnoi, who was tied up, asked.
Then people said, “Hey, look at that! Greedy eyes!” or “Hang the nymph! Squeeze it!” he began to exclaim.
I was able to realize something while listening to this conversation.
The people of this village know a lot about nymphs.
The sugar or honey disappears on its own.
I’m pretty angry.
That’s why I put locks on refrigerators and shelves.
As for my nymph friends, I have four of them: Arnoi Ariol, Puipui Poipoi.
They also ate sugar or honey whenever I took a second glance.
anyway.
“Are there any nymphs somewhere in this dark world?”
I asked.
Then, village chief Norad looked around and sighed deeply.
“Yes. He’s a very bad guy. He didn’t show up yesterday and the other day, so he’ll probably come this afternoon. In about three hours.”
There are nymphs in this dark world.

Quite shocking.
“Enio, when did you put the nymph in the shadows?”
“I don’t know. Why would I put something like a nymph in my shadow?”
“Something like a nymph… . For some reason, it’s a very nymph-hating tone… !”
* * *
I had to defend Arnoi for not being a bad nymph.
Even though I opened the refrigerator and took out the sugar, and occasionally ate the candy I had left in stock. That’s enough to be honest.
“Nymph Arnoi’s disposition is somewhat close to order-good. He’s a little goofy, but he’s not a bad guy. Rather, it might be of some help to this village.”
“Nymphs are helpful.”
“Can something like that happen?”
“Nymphs only cause trouble.”
The people of this shadow town seemed to have quite a bit of animosity towards the nymphs.
To even doubt that a nymph could be of any help.
It was when he thought Arnoy’s defense would take quite some time.
An old man with a cane appeared slowly from somewhere.
“Hall hall… .”
“Lord Mountain.”
The shadow villagers bow their heads toward the old man.
It was a very strange sight.
It’s not that it’s strange to show respect to the elderly.
The old man himself was strange.
A white beard on a face full of age spots.
I thought my sparse hair would be today or tomorrow.
At that time, Enio gave me a small hint.
“He was a knight of the Winter Castle. Mountain Grandpa. He’s old now, but he’s incredibly strong. I think the current age would have been around 120 years old… .”
There are many.
“Nymphs… . Seeing a nymph, this is the second time in my long life. It seems to be a child left behind after the gods left. Hall Hall. It doesn’t even feel right.”
The old knight Mountain stroked Arnoi’s hair.
Then he said
“What is your name?”
“This Arnoi is Arnoi, the nymph of the ditch… !”
“Nymphs… . This is the second time I see a nymph in my long life… . That… What’s your name?”
“From the point of view of this Arnoi, this grandfather is something strange… ! I don’t think he’s a bad person, but he’s very strange… !”
It’s more like dementia than weird.
Hey, he’s 120 years old, so he’s quite old.
Because it is a village where time does not pass, it feels like the old man cannot die in his old state.
Is this place where time does not flow a blessing to the old knight, Mountain?
Or is it bad luck
But.
Is the knight mountain respected by people? I guess she’s not a bad nymph,” he whispered.
Thanks to that, Arnoi was released.
“Why do you hate nymphs… ? We nymphs are the messengers of the gods… ! It is better than any other race… !”
Then someone said
“Nymphs pollute the water we drink.”
“right. It’s ruining the well.”
“… … !”
Arnoy made a rather shocked face.
I was also a little shocked.
Nymphs pollute the water.
The opposite is possible.
I asked.
“That polluted water. can you see it?”
I was guided by people with that feeling.
Soon we were able to reach the well that has been installed in this village.
“Here you go.”
drooling.
Village chief Norad used the well’s pulley to pump water.
However, the water in the gourd that was pumped up was very black.
“It doesn’t taste as good as it looks. It is inedible water. That Tenebris did it.”
It’s Tenebris.
Was there a nymph with that name?
“This, this… .”
Arnoi seemed to have realized something while watching the black water overflowing the bowl.
Then he dips his hand in the gourd and splashes.
Splash, splash.
“hey. what are you doing.”
“Don’t pollute the water any more! Now, you can still eat it if you boil it!”
People were angry with Arnoi for splashing water.
Did you think it was polluting the water?
But.
The water that Arnoi splashed became very clear and transparent as all the black deposits disappeared.
This is ‘ditch ditch water’ level of cleanliness.
People were surprised to see it.
“Muh, is the water clear?”
“How did this happen? Playing in the water makes the water even clearer!”
“Muhh… . The nymphs in the ditch are the ones who can make the water clean… ! When touched by this Arnoi, any water becomes clean ditch water… !”
Arnoi pushed his broad chest forward.
People were amazed at the guy’s confident story.
“Did you have that ability?”
“Miraculous.”
“Come on, let’s put that nymph into the well!”
“hehehehe… !”
Arnoi cleansed the contaminated well.
I asked the guy who was drying his wet clothes and body in front of a campfire.
“How did you come here?”
“This Arnoi… . It was an independent investigation into the disappearance of Chef Viktor… ! Then I found a shadow formed under the scorching sun with nothing… .”
“shadow?”
“It must have been a shadow… ! The shadow chased and swallowed this Arnoi… ! It was a very nymph-hating shadow… !”
I don’t think I’ve met Enio.
Was it just a shadow in the middle of the street?
If this continues, the number of innocent victims like Arnoi falling to this place will increase one by one.
It would be better to escape quickly and stop Shadow Enio.
It was time to think like that.
“Humans. Hurry up and offer the prepared offering to this Tenebris… !”
There was a commotion at the entrance.
