215 Episode 215 "End of Trip, New Friends, Arrangement for Return".txt (1/2)

Then we rode the chariot back to the Sumi-Iro Valley, where we camped all day today and will return to town tomorrow.

We'll camp here for the day and return to town tomorrow.

When we return to the valley, we take a break in front of the cave.

While there's still time, I decide to check out Lord Death in his Demon King's Armor.

...... just in case I'm treated as the owner, can I see the status?

Lord Death's skills are ”Transformation”, ”Magic Supply” and ”Self-Renewal”. The other skills are magic and physical defense.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

...... I thought that was why the Elderslime inside it would last longer.

The Elder Slime that Rafilia splits up usually lasts only about two hours. Because the slime that was split up is alive by consuming magic power.

But the slime I put in Lord Death is always ready to replenish its magic power thanks to the 'Magic Supply' skill. It's been half a day since I put it in, but it's still going strong. Maybe it won't disappear as long as it's inside Lord Death.

''It's amazing!　I've been with the slime that I split up, haven't I?

Rafilia was overjoyed because the messenger was now able to last longer.

''Since we're going to be splitting up, we're going to split up another one. We have many friends.''

...... Rafilia-sama. I already have two slimes inside me, that I have.

In front of the Bone of the Tail cave, the horse-shaped Death shook his head in annoyance.

I put my hand on his back.

You know what, Officer Death.

”Yes, my lord. My lord.

Can't you just partially transform and shoot slime out of your body?

What do you expect me to do?

No, I was just wondering if I could do it.

I can, sir, but...

You can do this? As expected of the Demon King Armor. It's a cheat item by default.

Then you can put a lot of slime in Lord Death's ...... in case of an emergency.

Don't let ...... your dreams get too big. ......

'One more thing. What about transforming and compacting?

I can do it, that I can.

Chariot too?

'Of course!　I'll show you, that I will!

Shaky. Crunch!

Lord Death and Chariot transformed into a box shape.

It even has a string so that it can be carried on your back like a backpack.

The image is ...... like a box that holds the holy fighting warrior's constellation armor that burns up a small universe inside his body.

This would be easy to carry around though .......

'Aine. Can you put Lord Death in your 'sister's treasure box'?

I have to try.

Okay, Lord Despicable?

”Of course you should try it, that you should.

Activate.　'My sister's treasure chest'!

Shoo.

Lord Death and Chariot are gone.

I'm in.

「「「「「「 oh oh oh oh 」」」」」」

Me, Cecil, Raphilia, Iris, and Cutlass. Even Lila screamed.

That's really handy. Lord Death and Chariot.

Chariot's travel speed is faster and he can run on bumpy roads without shaking.

Lord Death doesn't have a limit on the hours of operation. Of course, I'm taking breaks with everyone else.

But this makes our journey a lot easier.

Combined with Cecil and Rafilia's magic, we can fight while moving fast. Cecil can cleave off enemies with lasers while Chariot runs through at great speed, or Rafilia can rain down arrows.

...... It's scary to imagine.

'But I wonder what would have happened if this Lord Death had been in the hands of the Demon King.

The Demon King's Armor (Maou Yoroi) is high performance, high fighting power, and even higher mobility.

Lord Death himself has a gentle nature, but he's very serious, so he can't say no when ordered to do something.

If Lord Death and Chariot had been in the hands of the Demon King's real body and attacked at the head of the demons, it would have been ...... quite a mess, wouldn't it?

''You know what, Lord Death,''

I let him out again and patted him on the back.

”I'll try not to push you too hard, so I'm looking forward to working with you.

”Yes, nice to meet you, that I do!

I'll take good care of him.

Don't let the Death Lord fall into the hands of the Demon King's real body.

Then we spent the night in the Valley of the Sumi'iro.

At night, when Laila was asleep, Uriera-Grace came out.

She said she wanted to talk to us, so me, Aine, and Rafilia decided to have an evening tea party. We went out of the cave and built a fire so as not to wake up Cecil, Iris, and Cutlass.

Uriella-san drank the tea that Aine had brewed and thought for a while...

I think I'm going to try to exist in this world a little bit longer.

She said it in a whisper.

She said.

I was forced to do this, but I have caused trouble for my descendants.

I want to apologize for that. I want to do something useful for the world.

So, can you introduce me to someone who can create a golem for ...... souls to enter?

I've talked to Lila about it. She will help me with it. Would you be willing to help us, Master?

Of course.

I'd like to spend some more time with you, Uriella.

Rafilia opened her arms and hugged Uriera-san with her arms outstretched, gaba.

But why am I hugging you too?　Isn't that the emotional scene between the sisters?

Thank you, ...... master.

'...... Raphilia. Oops, this body belongs to Lila, so ...... my nose is bleeding.

Uriera-san smiled as she wiped the blood from her nose, her face refreshed.

Therefore, I couldn't say anything for a while either...

Ms. Rafilia, take turns. Bring Nah-kun over here.

'Oops, I'm sorry. Miss Aine. Come in.

─ For some reason, it remained that way until Aine passed me and hugged me.

The next day after the first night, we returned to the ”northern town of hermit”.

Nothing happened on the way back.

The back roads are too narrow to use the chariot.

So we relied on Laila's navigation and Iris's ”brilliant stroll” to make our way smoothly.

The Original Brave Men's Guild did not appear.

The mountain stronghold they are said to be occupying is also deserted now.

Do you see any signs of life at the fort?　Fynn.

”There's nothing. No lights on, no sign of anyone moving.

We stopped halfway through and asked Fynn to scout out the area.

Feen, who has a magical body, flew us to the top of a tall tree. He looked at the fort from there, but ...... really, there was apparently no human movement at all. There were no lights on and no movement of people. He said there was no people at all on the mountain road that passes near the fort, either.

Then let's take a ...... shortcut.

'Yes. Arujido.

So we moved to the wide mountain road that the townspeople usually use.
