77 [2-11] Dog curry. (1/2)

It was Noa Curio's army that came out to Teiracaines. But there's something wrong with that.

The Noah's Curio Army has no track record of operating holy beasts, nor do they have any plans to do so.

A room in the place that was once used as an operation control room.

On a map of the country hanging on the wall, Everis drew an arrow with some kind of fluorescent chalk (which can be erased with magic).

From the site of Wesara, where the Noachurian army is stationed, to Teiracaines.

The Marquis of Edfelt had called in the Noachurian army. However, most of the army only arrived after Rene escaped.

In fact, Rene was forced to retreat because of a mysterious old woman alone who appeared with the Holy Beasts. The Holy Beasts seem to be in league with the Noah's Curio army. ......

So what was that all about?

I'm afraid I don't know. I don't know everything about this world.

The Demon Lord's army has spies in the five major countries, but they didn't get any information. It's possible that they were preparing in secret, or that the ...... event was too far-flung for them to catch.

As for the holy beast itself, well, we can take measures against it. It would be better to find out why they brought that thing out.

If the Holy Kingdom of Diretta is involved, it could be a problem. Especially for a princess who is undead herself and whose army is basically undead at this point.

You've got a point.

Even a single punch or scratch from a holy beast is filled with holy energy. In addition, their bodies are like a collection of holy energy. It's a natural enemy of the undead.

But the holy beasts that Rene saw were all so powerful that he couldn't possibly give every soldier the same level of protection.

Maybe I should have taken a risk and killed that old lady. She was just unpleasant and didn't seem to have any power.

”I don't know. I don't know. If she's not a magician, killing her won't make the summoner disappear, so it might have been pointless.

Well, whatever it is, we're sure to run into the Holy Beast army again, aren't we?

We need to take precautions. And we need to find out why that thing came out.

We have brains to analyze the information.

Then we need an intelligence-gatherer.

We need a spy.

What do you want with me?

What are you going to do with me?

Zombie bait?　Skeleton material?　A slave?　Ornamental?

What are you going to do with me?

”...... You're a spirited captive. By the way, I'm all for it.

Wow!　I knew it!

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

Seeing this, Rene said stingingly.

You can stop now, you're slowing me down.

The banging stops.

Tracy kept a straight face for a moment, then mischievously stuck out her tongue.

”Heh. I'm sure you're aware of that.　I was thinking that this is what an irresistible prisoner of war looks like.

...... I was told that escalated acting out of true feelings would work against mind readers.

You can't see the urgency in the tone of voice. You're rather calm and ...... scared, but having a little fun, aren't you?

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It is an evil spirit that feeds on the emotions of grief and despair, and its ability to read emotions is extremely accurate.

Rene saw through Tracy's inner self, which was slightly different from her outward demeanor.

It's a beautiful girl, or a beautiful boy who only looks like a beautiful girl, that is the accessory that makes your life shine.

No matter how bad the situation is, you should be grateful for a nice encounter. You're very pretty, Rene.

Rene was a little nervous when he was told straight out that he was cute.

It wasn't a romantic thrill, but something that had slipped her mind.

It was a compliment that she had always heard from her mother, but how many people in this world would say 'cute' to the face of a terrifying named monster that had destroyed an entire country?

By the way, Renai is in her Revenant form (that is, the same form as a normal human) because she is not in battle, but I feel that Tracy would have said the same thing even if she were in the form of Dullahan or Lich.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing if it's Dullahan or Rich.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

I'm not just trying to get my hands on a pretty girl, I'm trying to be just like her.

A middle-aged man in the shape of a girl makes a statement with impunity.

So you're going to use him.

”Tracy has a network of adventurers in the country, and with his communicative skills, he can get into anyone's head and get information out of them. As a Thief, he can also use his covert skills to break into important facilities and investigate.

I have a bad feeling that I'm going to be praised for ....... Am I that famous?

Sort of. I had a chance to find out.

Maybe that's your memory, Iris.

”Yes, .......

Just as he was about to affirm it, Rene realized that something was wrong.

The only people who knew that Rene was possessed by Iris were the three members of the Dragon's Throat who were killed by Rene. Tracy couldn't have known.

No.

If she had gathered traces of Rene's activity and deduced it with unusual insight, or...

”You got that right?

Tracy had a subtle smirk on her face.

”Postscript. You're smart, too.

Anyway, I think you'll get a lot of very useful information if you make this Tracy a Revenant.

”No, please!

At Rene's suggestion, Tracy immediately raised her voice.

Oh, you're in a real hurry.

Of course I'm serious!　I don't want to die yet!　I don't want to die yet! I want to be able to look in the mirror every morning and every night and be thrilled at how s*xy and pretty I look!　I don't want to become undead!

But you're still in such a hurry.

Please, I'll do what you say, but you can't kill me alive!　Look, Revenant is disposable!　You'd better not be!

--There it is.
