61 Episode 61 "The girls singing voice did not catch people and let go".txt (2/2)

Noel-Hapheumea is screaming.

But...

What are you talking about? It's a great song.

Cecil closes his eyes and listens long and hard.

'I'd love to make it the theme song for the party.

Aine folds her arms and nods.

'That's a good idea. I'll record it when I get back.

Raphilia clapped her hands together with a pop.

I don't know, but Iris is thrilled too. Body...... hot.

Iris is holding her little chest, holding it.

Meanwhile, Rita continues to sing.

Her face is bright red, and she seems to squeeze her voice out of her thin body.

Sweat is running down her forehead. Her voice is getting quieter and quieter.

Is 'Binding Singing LV1' as powerful as it is, or is it too much of a drain on your strength?

''I will ...... give my thoughts ...... to you.

Until the next life. No, ever.

Please ask God for ...... please ask God for ...... you two

The same sentiment can be expressed at ......, as can .......

words of encouragement

I held Rita's crumbling body in my arms.

'...... wow.'

'Good night. Rita.

”Nagi ...... ehehe. I'm being held ...... a reward for being held.

I stroked Rita's hair and took her fever - okay, normal temperature.

But we're all getting tired by now, so let's get this quest over with!

'In the name of the sea dragon Kerkator, bind those who defile the sanctuary!

I shouted.

I'm sure you've got a lot of work to do, so I'm going to use my ”sea dragon blessing” to finish it off.

Aine used Remembrance Purge to stun the enemy. I'm going to have to take out the enemy's magic with the Arrow of Corruption. Rafilia and - I'm sorry, but Iris, support Rita and follow me.

Cecil and Aine start to run.

I leave Rita's body with Raphilia and Iris, and I turn to the enemy.

'What ...... is this ......?'

The binding force of Rita's 'Binding Song of Binding' was still going on.

Noiel-Hafeumea and the others are rolling and twitching on the ground. They look like fish that have been landed.

''I told you that ...... the wrath of the sea dragon,''

That's absurd. Aetherina said that sea dragons are nothing more than demons from the other world...

You'll have to talk about that later. And I'll tell you about the identity of the Marquise's daughter.

But it's the regulars who will be interrogating them.

They must be furious, too.

Their own master attacked them out of the blue, even tried to kidnap a priestess, and was also the source of the destruction of the sea dragon sanctuary.

''And who is the leader of the ...... 'Divine Order of Life'?'''

Hmph. I will not teach you!

Neuel-Hapheumea looked away.

Towards the masked girl lying right next to him.

Oh, that's the one.

'As the Sea Dragon Priestess's bodyguard, I want to hear what you guys are up to.

I said, looking down at the masked girl. But...

The 'Order of Divine Life' is looking for new members.

...... Yes?

The ”Knights of Divine Life” - I believe it was called ”Blast 1” - which is now unable to fight, begins to speak as if it were broken.

It's a high-pitched voice.

It's as if it's an automated machine voice.

The arms and legs that are still bound are trembling and trembling. The silver mask is trembling.

Cecil tugs on my arm. In a small voice, she tells me, ”This mask is not a good thing. It seems that bright red magic power is flowing out of the mask to its owner.

''When you reach B rank in the 'Divine Order of Life', you can collect 5% of the reward from C rank every time you complete a quest. Furthermore, if you reach A rank, you can collect 20%, and C rank is also a bit tough at first, but if you work hard, you'll be able to rise to a higher rank soon enough, right?

The voice that comes out sounds like a recorded sales pitch. A common one in our world.

”The procedure is simple, you just need to put on a mask and sign a contract. Let's join the ”Knights of Divine Life” and become a hero. Right now, we're running a membership expansion campaign!　Just pay an admission fee of 1000 arsha and you can start with a B grade!

cogent

The mask is off.

'Due to the inability to fight, the rank EX mask is removed. Let's try again from rank C. ......

With a snap, the girl's body splashed and stopped moving.

”Cecil, can you 'appraise' this mask?

Yes. I'll try.

Cecil has the 'Appraisal' skill.

I haven't used it until now because I haven't had a chance to get the treasure.

''Activate. 'Appraisal Lv 2'...

Cecil held his hand over the mask lying on the ground.

''...... I understand. This mask has ...... a 'mental domination' type of magic on it. It seems that the mask sucks up the user's magical power and uses it as fuel to create a 'mental domination' effect.

”The Magic Sword Reggie before it was downgraded... like the one Regina Brass used?

”Not even close!　Lord

The Magic Sword Reggie suddenly trembled at my back.

'I just like to see a pretty girl messing around in a pretty, erotic way!　I just love the way these normally squirmy girls are bewildered by their physical reactions!

But to rule by this mask, there must be love!　And lust!　Not an ounce of grace!　A vile tool to bind a man in an invisible chain to a swarm!　Don't do this with me. I will weep, Lord!'

'Sorry, my bad, don't rustle. Reggie.

I patted the rampaging Reggie to calm him down.

It's true that the magic sword Regina Brass was trying to serve me, for one thing.

This mask is the opposite. It feels like the mask has more control over people.

''Reggie-san is right. I think the reason why these people can use the 'Simultaneous Chanting' magic is because they're forcing their minds to connect with each other. This mask is a ...... wrong magic item that makes a person a tool.

The girl whose mask came off seems to be under the influence of her continued 'mental domination'.

If she was under such a strong 'mental control', it's natural, but her mind is wearing out. It's good that the control was removed by being unable to fight, but I think it will take a while for the consciousness to return, Cecil said.

''Are items like these guys' masks normal in this world?

No.

Cecil shook his head.

'Even if there was, it's at the level of whether it would come up once in a thousand years. It's not something that can be mass-produced like this ....... If it could, it would be .......

Cheat skills, you mean.

In other words, the marquise who introduced these guys to Noel-Hapheumea holds the key to this.

Nope. I don't want to get involved.

'What are you talking about?　I will not allow you to mess with Eterina!　She was my...

Oh, we can talk about you later.

Okay. Good night.

bang

Noel-Hafeumea fainted after being mopped by Aine.

Before I knew it, all of the ”Divine Order” had stopped moving as well.

It was after the mask of ”Blast 1” fell.

It seems she was like the commander of the whole thing.

''Iris-sama!　Are you okay!

A voice came from the entrance of the dungeon.

It was the captain of a regular soldier.

I heard that he was beaten up by the Knights of Divine Life, but he's recovered somehow.

The horns of his helmet, which he is very proud of, seem to have been broken off.

I'm sorry. I didn't expect Noiel-sama to attack us...... oh, what a bunch of you!

Seeing us wearing the mask of the ocean current, the captain shouted out.

'In a pinch for the miko, something strange happened, and with the help of the sea dragon's blessing, she temporarily gained a strange power!

Oh, I see.

The captain clapped his hands with a plop.

''So the maid and the elf girl were strong because of the sea dragon's blessing!　Oh no, the sea dragon's blessing isn't helping. We don't have any such thing!　Alright, we'll make the 'Sea Dragon Mask' standard equipment from now on too!　Thanks for the info!

You're in a good groove, captain.

My brother and the 'Order of Divine Life' attacked Iris and attempted to stain the sanctuary with blood.

Iris murmured sadly, pensively.

'They are sinners. Bind them in the name of the Sea Dragon Priestess and lock them up in prison.

Yes, sir. Mr. Iris.

The captain nodded.

He raised his hand and the other regular soldiers came from the entrance of the dungeon.

We'll leave the rest to these people.

Then we were on the ground.

''So that completes the quest.''

I'm finally done!

I feel like I worked seriously for the first time in a long time .......

The body and clothes are sticky because of the seawater. I'm sure you'll be able to find the same thing for all of us, as well as Cecil, Aine, and Rafilia, who are wiping their hair with a cloth and wringing out their clothes. Rita can't get away from me, so she's right next to me, beating her clothes.

I don't think I'm going to work any more today. Business hours are over. I'm not going to work late.

We'll get something to eat and then we'll take turns with the baths.

Thank you, Souls' Big Brother ...... eek, Souma-sama, thank you.

And, and, and, and Iris comes to our side.

She bows to me and then to everyone else in turn.

'Souma-sama and the others have fulfilled their quest perfectly. Of course, we will also pay you an additional reward for your fight with my brother, as well as an apology.

Yeah, thanks, Iris.

'I understand how you feel about that ...... brave man, Mr. Souma.

Iris squirmed and looked up at me.

She seemed to understand.

'But if you don't mind, would you mind just joining us for the festival day ritual?　I don't want to force it, but you never know what you'll find at .......

Does this mean he's my bodyguard?

Yeah, something like that. There are still remnants of the Order of Divine Life, and it's possible that Eterina-Harsburg is up to something.

Iris slumped down and hugged her thin shoulders anxiously.

But she's looking at me with a 'glimpse' as if she's trying to get a look at me.

”The one who can accompany you to the center is not 'Yuu the sea dragon'-. It's only the 'soul brother', Souma-sama. ......

Iris, you're blushing. You're clenching your fists like you're ready to go.

It's almost as if Iris is up to something: .......

”Let me think about it.

I understand. I look forward to a good answer. ”Soul brother.

Iris bowed gracefully as she said that, and she had a very nice smile on her face.
