169 Episode 169 "Extra Part 15" Letizia, Cutlass, and Finn (+1) Adventure (Part 2) ".txt (2/2)

Poshun.

The direction of the 'giant dung beetle' that rushed towards Leticia changed.

The moment the body of the sphere touched the shield, the pill bug suddenly changed direction. The moment it touched the body of the shield, the Pillowbug suddenly changed direction and flew towards the foot of the mountain. In the distance, there was a sound of a beeper. At the same time, another demon's scream was also heard.

...... There were some unlucky demons as well.

It must have been a very bad day to hit a falling pill bug.

The body of the pill bug was nearly torn off when it hit a tree during its fall.

Even if it hit the tree, it wouldn't be a fatal wound.

However, the body fluid of the pill bug smelled quite strong. Just like the saintly lady said, bird-type demons don't like sow bug body fluids. If you get a direct hit, you probably won't be able to get close to a bird-type demon. If you are a predator of such demons, you can go to .......

''I'm curious about .......

Once this place is cleared up, let's go take a look.

With that in mind, it was Leticia who was cutting down the rest of the demons.

──────────────────── ...

I went back in time, and a few minutes ago, in the foothills of the mountains...

”Geeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A bad wizard messenger had overwhelmed the adventurers.

''Fuhaha!　You can't keep running away!　Adventurers!

Raising his wand, the wicked wizard shouted.

'I'll forgive you if you beg for your life, though!　Will you lay down your arms and become my servant!

But who?

The novice adventurer, ”The Watchdog of the Evening Darkness,” shouted.

''I'd rather die than be your servant!

'Then I'll grant you a wish!　Go!　My servant. The summoned cockatrice!

”Geeeeeeeeeee!

The cockatrice - a huge monstrous bird with the tail of a snake - cried out.

It spread its venomous wings and looked at the frightened adventurers with its black eyes. To the cockatrice, the adventurers are food. The demons that respond to their masters' summons no longer see anything but food in their eyes. The cockatrice screamed at the adventurers as if to threaten them and then ran at once.

Betcha.

The giant pill bug that fell from the top of the mountain crashed into its head.

It's not a good idea to go to ...... giye?

The cockatrice - she didn't know what had happened.

The blue-black body fluid that flowed through the head was blue-black. The pungent smell of pungent odor poking through the nose.

It was also smelled from right beside me. The master wearing a black robe is next to me. He, too, wears blue-black blood.

The smell she hates is coming from her and her master. I can't get rid of it. It won't go away.

The cockatrice's mind goes blank. The master's orders have already disappeared from the brain of the bird's head. The only thing that remains is an aversion to the smell of the Giant Pill Bug. That's all I could do.

The only thing I could think of right now was to get rid of that smell.

”Giaaaaaaaaah!

What...?

I felt as if someone was calling me, but I couldn't afford to worry about that.

The cockatrice is running desperately to escape the ”smell” that she hates, and she keeps running.

He jumped straight into the river and drifted off to nowhere.

...................

””..................”

'Hahahahahaha!　You thought you'd won this one!

Bah.

The wicked wizard took off his black robe as if he was going to take it off.

Or perhaps he was too cumbersome to wear it. He took it off, rolled it up and kicked it further away.

'I still have two trump cards left!　I can't bear to kill you!　Come on, brave men!　If you don't fear me, the great evil wizard who will rule this region from now on, you can go to ──────!

”...... Hmmm. You're the bad wizard at ......?

What?

The bad wizard turned around.

He looked and saw a blue-haired girl standing behind him with a sword in her hand.

'...... eh,'

I guess it was because I was distracted by the cockatrice and the 'smell of dung beetle'. The blue-haired girl is already in between. There is no time to cast a spell. What am I going to do, what am I going to do, what am I going to do?

The first thing that comes to mind is that you are the ...... 'guard dog of the evening darkness' from the adventurer's guild. Have I interrupted you?

””............”

The adventurers in The Watchdog of the Evening Darkness saw a girl with blue hair.

Her sword has blue-black body fluid on it. The gray-haired girl behind them is holding something that looks like a broken protective amulet.

The ”Evening Darkness Watchdog” and the others couldn't help but shine their eyes.

What is it? I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

Alone, they couldn't stand up to this 'bad wizard'. These people are probably skilled adventurers. They were worried that they had taken a quest that they didn't know what to do with, so they supported us. What a ...... how kind ...... is.

''No!''　That wizard must be defeated by the seniors!

What?　You guys?

Okay, then.

p*n*s

Uh-huh!

The girl's sword, still in its scabbard, struck the back of the Bad Wizard's head.

The Wicked Wizard fainted and stopped moving.

The Bad Wizard was knocked down!

──────────────────── ...

'Thank you!　Senior! ''How can you be so strong like that!　Senior! 'He acted as if he knew the enemy's movements, senior!

There's a website where you can find all this stuff.

Leticia had no idea what it meant.

She was curious about the ”Giant Pill Bug” that had fallen at the foot of the mountain, so she came down to find that the ”Wicked Wizard” had frightened the novice adventurer, and when she defeated him, he welcomed her with open arms.

It's not a bad feeling, but it was an unacceptable situation.

”So you're saying that ...... we were helping these people without their knowledge?

I believe that's the case, sir.

”I don't understand it at all, sir.

Leticia, Cutlass and Fynn nodded their heads involuntarily.

We don't want the story to get too big.

It's just that we wanted to help out a little bit.

”We didn't do anything of the sort.

...... Huh?　But you smashed the protection and dropped the 'Dung Beetle', didn't you?

...... it must be.

Letitia follows her memories.

The person who told her about the magic-collecting protection is...?

Who gave me the information about the smell of ”Pill Bug”'s bodily fluids?

Remember, that is .......

”It's all thanks to the guidance of 'Saint Delilah,' ...... who has been watching over us in secret.

Leticia declared, pointing in the direction of the day after tomorrow for now.

''Wait!''

The golem with the saintly woman behind her tries to speak out - and stops her from doing so.

It's because they can't speak openly in public.

...... No, but it's all thanks to your saint that the amulet and the dung beetle were given to you.

”...... Yeah, but!　Cutlass-kun has a point, though!''

'...... My saint, I told Fynn that I was the protector of this quest.

'I told you ...... but oh my goodness.'

Writhing and writhing.

The Saintess (the incoming golem) starts to flail in the arms of Cutlass and Fynn.

...... I see, the saint is watching over us.

Thank you very much for ....... Dear Saint Delilira.

...... Oh, I think I can hear the saintly voice of the saintly woman singing from across that sky ...... Thank you ...... Dear Delilira ......

The guard dogs of the evening darkness” begin to call out to the distant sky.

...... cease and desist!　I'm so embarrassed, so stop!

The ”Watchdogs of the Evening Darkness” are moved by the emotions of the moment, but they don't notice the golem with a saint in it that is secretly screaming.

After that, they continued to praise Saint Delilira until they returned to town.

'............ ugh. The psychological damage is amazing: ...... and scary. ......

Returning to the villa, the saintly lady (the entering golem) sank languidly into a chair.

But I respect you, my dear. You are a righteous saint. ...... Huh.

Leticia sat down next to them.

After that, the four of them slowly returned to town (after a nap break on the way).

It's also fun for Leticia to talk with the saint while watching over Cutlass and Fynn, who fell asleep due to the effects of ”Kakusei Randa”...

I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the saintly golem rolling around and complaining.

And there's no need to be humble about it. Isn't it true that the saint is watching over us?

”...... You're a really good kid, you know that?

The bird-shaped golem with the saint in it poked Letitia's palm with its beak.

You might be the right king. If you'd like, Delilira-san can teach you a few things.

I'm not uninterested, though: ......

”Kings and saints can be lonely. ”If you don't mind being alone,

I'm not going to let that happen!

You've been assured!

...... And I'm having a lot of fun at the moment, you know?

Leticia smiled softly as she sat back in her chair.

She could hear the sound of water coming from the kitchen. Cutlass and Fynn must be cooking.

What Cutlass makes is wild, but that's not a bad thing. It's good for a guy who was doing boys a while ago. Or rather, Letitia isn't confident enough in her cooking skills to complain about it.

Fynn giggles, ”There's no way to sift your skills without Arujidono. Sometimes she asks Leticia what she can do to make Cutlass look pretty. She's a strange, sweet girl. It's not a bad idea for both of us to spend some time thinking of ways to make Cutlass look girly.

The title of king and title are not enough to trade for this time. What is irreplaceable, Your Highness?

'Hmmm. I know about that.

With that, the bird-shaped golem flapped its wings.

''Well then, I'll go home. Give my regards to those kids and their master.

Do you have to go on a trip already, Your Highness?

'Will that come after I've had a bit more fun playing with you guys?

The bird-shaped golem snapped its beak and closed one eye.

I'll be back to say hello when I leave! Then say goodbye to me!　Crying. You can stop it. But even if you don't, you're leaving. No, I can postpone it for a few more days if you insist.

'Huh. I'll tell Nagi and the others.

''Hmph. Bye!

With that, the bird-shaped golem that contained the soul of Saint Delilira flew away from the window.

''Leticia-sama! We have a message from Arujidono!

'You'll be back soon at ......!

'Yes, yes. Now, let's get ready to pick you up!

With that, Leticia left her seat.

When Nagi-san and the others return, let's hear about the incident over there. And also whether or not the relationship with Aine and the others has developed. Cecil's face turns red, and Aine and Reggie tell us all sorts of things we haven't heard, so I think it's best to ask Rita-san.

I hope I was able to catch up with Nagi-san and the others in this quest.

While thinking about this, Leticia begins to prepare dinner with Cutlass and Fynn.
