Drunk talk – 2
Although he couldn’t see it covered by the helmet, he bowed his head after expressing that he was really dissatisfied with his whole body.
“I will.”
“Thank you.”
Idria turned her head to Caled.
“Souvius is the first finger of lies. He is the next most powerful person next to me, and he is the limb I trust and rely on the most.”
“·················ogue.”
“Sobius will be part of your Kayle party. But that’s only nominal, I’ll follow his instructions while I recover my strength. Just like I gave you a quest the other day.”
It wasn’t a very pleasing instruction for Kayle.
But he didn’t really deny it.
As he wants to be loved by everyone forever, it doesn’t matter what the means to get there.
“Do that.”
“great.”
“I think I said two things before.”
“What would the other one be? Isn’t it too obvious?”
Kyle nodded his head.
“Stop the Maid.”
“okay. Surely your fame will overwhelm Maid right now. He will struggle to break through this situation.”
“·················ogue.”
“Stop Maid. If it is now, there will be a lot more people on the continent who are kind to you, so it will be a very advantageous stage.”
Cool.
She vomited blood there again.
When Caled thought of Idria, the first image that came to mind was ‘invincible’.
It feels strange to see her so weak like that.
“The remaining second to fourth fingers will be shown one by one after I have recovered to some extent.”
“·················ogue.”
“Especially Savak, he needs to heal his last injury. It’s impossible with my body right now.”
“I get it.”
“Go now.”
Idria spoke up there and closed her eyes.
Soon she fell into a deep sleep.
Cald looked at Idria, who was still asleep.
From the outside, it just looks slender and beautiful.
Who will be reminded of the Demon King in this appearance?
“How long are you going to look at him?”
“Oh, well. Excuse me. Did you say Soberus? Is that your real name?”
“Why are you curious about that?”
“Because Ophelia gave her a new name, Terranaim.”
“I am in the same situation. But there are some things to correct.”
Sobius continued speaking softly.
“I consider Sobius my real name.”
“·················ogue.”
“If you want to introduce me as a party member, it would be better to set a suitable background. It would be better to be a descendant of a fallen knight family. You should consider the details.”
“That means… you’re also from a knight, don’t you?”
The two axes of the Empire are the Knights of Light and the Al-Qahad.
But that didn’t mean there weren’t other knights.
The Knights of Light and Al-Qahad receive the emperor’s orders directly from the capital, but the lords of each territory also created their own knights and nurtured knights.
Sobius replied as if growling.
“Are you so curious about that?”
“Now that you are my party member.”
“It is only a nominal façade. I’ll pretend to go under you under Idria-sama’s orders, but that’s just the end of our relationship.”
“You’re polite.”
“We just held hands out of necessity. I don’t see any reason to get closer?”
Caled shrugged.
Sobius changed the topic.
“First, we need to follow Maid’s whereabouts.”
“Is that your first quest?”
“It doesn’t matter what you think.”
“Now that Idria is asleep like that, it seems difficult to peek at Maid’s every move. How do you know where he’s going?”
Sobius answered without even thinking about it.
“I can see. No, rather than that… I’ve already seen it.”
“···········?”
“I don’t know why, but Maid didn’t get a badge of a hero.”
“what?”
“Then I can roughly guess where they are going next. Let’s start slowly.”
He drew his sword out of harmony with what he said, ‘Let’s go.’
Cale flinched for a moment, but Sovereign merely flicked the space.
supportive.
And a landscape that is now quite familiar to Cald unfolded.
“The space is splitting!”
“okay.”
“Isn’t this the power of Idria?”
“Do you think that Ophelia’s Bug or Hiren’s acting wasn’t the power of Idria-sama?”
“·················ogue.”
“How much less, as his first finger, I am closer to him than anyone else.”
shudder.
Inserting the sword, he continued.
“Follow me.”
He casually walked into the space.
Caled felt as if he was a party member rather than a leader.
But he did not rebel.
It was annoying, but I didn’t complain.
To be honest, even worse things can be tolerated.
If only I could be loved forever.
Instead of completely entering Gabriel’s estate, we were climbing a small mountain at the beginning of the estate.
I remember this trail.
‘This is the path the Grays climbed, as seen through the eyes of the omniscient.’
[Well.]
‘It must not have been a very good place for Neryl. Because it is the place where the cemetery butler, whom he loved, met his end.’
[Huh. You’re paying a lot of attention since you’ve heard of it.]
what are you talking about

Just then, Neryl said.“Uh-huh.”
No, I exhaled more harshly than I said.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s perfectly fine.”
“Jenia. Look at Neril.”
“No, am I okay?”
But Xenia came and took Neryl’s hand.
“Anyway, divine power is that little power, so you can waste it a lot.”
“·················ogue.”
“A heavenly god? What are you doing? Can’t you understand the atmosphere?”
Then, a soft golden light circled around Neril.
Neryl looked like she was going to live a little longer.
Serene smiled and said to Xenia.
“Can I pray like that to the heavenly god?”
“Now I have nothing to pray to him. After killing the Demon King, I think I will change jobs too.”
“Hmmm. If there is nothing to do, do business with me.”
“I’d like to start a restaurant with Lephia-sama, how about it?”
Serene had a gloomy expression on her face, but I really thought it was a plan that suited Zenia’s aptitude.
“Yeah. The chef can seat Ressel.”
Then Lissel responds.
“Why do you keep me still?”
“Because I know your cooking skills.”
Ardwin said with a slightly smirk.
“My father was also a cook.”
“uh? Did you?”
“It was enough to be in charge of the kitchen of the lord of my hometown. How about if we open a restaurant in our estate? My father goes into torture.”
Come to think of it, Ardwin’s hometown is Lephia’s hometown.
Lephia also killed the Demon King and opened a restaurant in her hometown…
Ardwin continued.
“Uncle Offense, you can wash the dishes.”
“no. I decided to take care of my business money.”
“I never said I would do both.”
“There you guys. I’m sorry to disturb the atmosphere, but I need to find a way to be human.”
I replied with a grin at Rissel’s last words.
“I’ll work hard to find that, so I’m working in the kitchen until then.”
Then Neryl responds.
“You are retiring.”
“Retirement is when you finish everything and do it.”
“Ugh. how will we do it. I don’t have any special plans either.”
“What are you talking about? You should be busy walking around with me.”
“yes?”
“We have to study together how to turn Lissel into a human, and write a large-area search magic circle for Offense. We must return Ardwin’s father and return Ophelia to her real body.”
For some reason, Neryl’s lips twitched.
I continued to speak in an insignificant tone.
“When it was all over, I decided to go see Gray.”
“He’s done now.”
“uh?”
“When it’s over, let’s go back to your hometown. You have to show your mother how you became a hero.”
Neryl shook her head slightly and continued.
“Let me introduce myself.”
Neril didn’t really go to Erenika’s grave.
Instead, it turned halfway and led us to a shabby hut.
This must have been where the cemetery butler lived.
Come to think of it, I still don’t know the butler’s name.
“It’s Domaine Howard.”
“uh? what?”
“I think he’s curious about the name of the butler.”
Has this guy really mastered mind-reading?
chuckle.
Neryl approached the small warehouse built by the hut.
And in front of that door, he lightly signed the seal.
wii ing.
A dizzying magic circle was drawn on the entire door just by looking at it.
Offense muttered.
“Even as an outsider, it is a fairly complex magic circle, right? If that magic had been put in place from the beginning, Grain’s gangs wouldn’t have been able to steal the treasure.”
“It was a bit of a slump back then. I thought the world was good.”
“That was when I met Dame.”
“It has been that way for 30 years. Are you okay?”
“It was a pretty long slump.”
I felt like I knew what Neryl’s slump was.
Before returning, Neryl said that he was thinking of a fight with the Demon King as a ‘place to disappear’.
It wasn’t that he was particularly greedy for a reward, but that he came to the party thinking that it was the best stage for him to leave.
‘no way.’
Did you mean to die? Neryl before the return.
Somehow it feels like my heart is sinking.
[hey. don’t be scared Not now.]
‘How do you know that?’
[I asked you to introduce your mother. Neryl is now drawing the future.]
‘·······Then I am really glad.’
[Huh. You changed a lot, but I think you changed that woman most dramatically.]
‘How dare you call Neryl Auntie? Wanna die?’
[ha.]
Then the magic circle broke and the door opened.
“Don’t come in, wait. It’s pretty cramped here.”
she went inside
I hear something squeaking around for a while.
A few minutes later, Neryl came back and held a headband in his hand.
Blue headband made of sturdy fabric.
To be honest, it looked old and ugly, so I couldn’t see it for decorative purposes.
Serena asked.
“What is it? It’s very clunky.”
“I made it.”
“It’s so pretty!”
“done. I know well that I’m not good at this kind of thing.”
Neryl said so and put on a headband.
And the next moment.
whoops.
Neryl’s appearance has changed!
From a woman with long dark blue hair to a woman with short pink hair.
The color and length of his hair, as well as the skeleton and size of his body, changed into a completely different person.
We all had to keep our mouths shut.
“Isn’t this Uncle Offense’s magic trick? Changing it to someone else’s face.”
“no. It’s a completely different feeling than that. First of all, it hurts a lot.”
“Are you sick?”
“The bones and muscles are realigning, so it won’t hurt. It’s just me being patient. However······.”
Offense looked intently at Neryl and continued.
“You are very calm.”
“right. It’s a kind of fantasy magic.”
“The magic you used to bring Patrick from the capital?”
“It’s not as great as that… but no, in a way, it’s even better.”
Neryl untied her headband.
Then it returns to its original shape.
She continued, brushing her hair lightly.
“The magic in the capital leaves a reverberation of the user’s mana anyway. Well, like all magic.”
“·················ogue.”
“But this is something that no wizard will notice. Because the perception has been changed so that the subject who uses magic is not a person, but a headband.”
“·················ogue.”
“An inanimate headband has no mana. No one will notice, since the manaless beings have changed their perceptions by using magic.”
Someone please translate it into the Imperial language.
That was then.
“awesome!”
“uh? Ardwin?”
“·······, exclaimed Beyond.”
“Beyond Erenika? Could it be that you opened the gates of the underworld again and went for a walk?”
“I guess so. You heard it last time. Heroes and heroes from the first generation to the third generation have known each other in the underworld.”
And did you say that you learned the know-how of going in and out of the underworld through the first hero grade?
I told Ardwin because I thought my head would hurt if I thought more deeply.
“I see something you want to say, call me.”
“yes. Wait.”
Soon Ardwin’s voice changed.
Beyond Erenica seemed very interesting and said without saying hello.
“I felt it from the moment I saw the decomposition magic in the capital, but you are a genius. Neryl Slaine.”
“Oh, well. thanks.”
“Can you show me for a moment?”
“Usually, I would have said no, but this time, I need your help, so I’ll show you. Here you go.”
Beyond carefully examined the headband, as if finding a treasure.
Exactly the inside of the headband.
There were magic circles and characters of the same size that were full of them.
I shook my head.
“indeed. You did it this way.”
“uh? How do you know?”
“I was just pretending to know.”
“Fufu. That’s natural. It’s because it’s about beyond, so ordinary wizards don’t even know it’s magic.”
“I’ll pretend to be Beyond too and tell you. You are a real genius.”
Neryl scratched his cheek.
“It wasn’t necessarily that I was able to make that headband. It was just that I was desperate at the time.”
Was it desperate?
