16 Intruder (1/2)

Dark Knight Kroki

I found myself standing in a park for the citizens within the walls of the city.

There was no light in the park, only the light of the moon illuminating the ground.

He wore a set of armor drawn by magic that drew the tools he had designated with magic.

This was the second time he had worn the Dark Knight's armor.

It could be a battle.

The temple was heavily guarded, and also the rages.

Therefore, as a result of the strongest equipment given to me by Modes, I'm dressed the same way as that time again.

Now let's go. I've made up my mind.

The goal is to hear what Raina has to say.

But I might be able to get away while I'm stuck in the front door.

So I'm going to use this.

Right now, the bag in my hand contains about thirty small white stones.

They are magic items made from the raw material of the dragon's fangs.

This is what Modes gave me when I was leaving Nargol, as he thought it might be useful.

It is said that this white stone can not be used by anyone, but he also said that it would probably be useful to him.

The white stone is buried at even intervals.

Then he chants a magic.

'Warriors, by the power of the dragon's fangs, be born!

As I chanted, fully armed warriors crawled out of the ground, wearing ochre-colored armor with swords in their right hands and circular shields in their left. There are 30 of them.

They are warriors created by the magic called the Dragon Fang Warrior (Spartoi).

The red glowing eyes peeking out from the slight gaps in their helmets showed no signs of life.

The Spartoys come to line up in front of me.

I look at the Spartoys.

I thought again that magic was amazing, since such a warrior could be born from such a small stone.

When Modes explained this magic item to me, I was skeptical that a warrior would really be born.

I feel some kind of magical connection with the spartoys born from that magic item.

I think I can control this one.

Nat. You'll have to wait outside.

I say to Nat, who is sitting on my shoulder. We were in danger of getting into a battle and getting caught up in it.

'Hey,'

Nat climbed off his own shoulders.

'And maybe I won't be able to leave. So here.

Myself, I give Nat a stone out of my pocket.

'Oh no, Master Dihardt!

The Stone of Shifting. It is a magic item that can be used only once, even by those who cannot use transposition magic.

It's just in case. If you're not back in the morning, use the stone to get home.

”Dear Mr. Dihardt.

'I'm not going to die, Nat. I'll definitely pull out if it gets dangerous.

I say reassuringly to Nat.

'If you yan on that sort of thing, you can go to ....... I understand, good luck with that, yans .......

Nat reluctantly agrees.

'I'm going, Spartoy!

Spartoi and the others begin to move. Their movements are swift and it's hard to believe that they are wearing heavy armor.

The Spartoys jump to the top of the roof of a house and move lightly on the roof, just like you.

Their target is the Temple of Raina.

I let Spartoi rush in from all directions as a decoy, and I enter the temple one tempo later.

According to Nat, Raina is in a room with an altar in the center of the temple in order to prepare for the magic to bring back Shirone and her friends.

It is said that the magic will take place tomorrow. Therefore, it's now or never.

We marched towards the temple of Raina.

Chiyuki, the companion of the hero.

Hey, Reiji, this isn't alcohol!

He protests, sticking out the drink I've been handed.

'Well, that's fine, Chilluki. This could be the last night here for Chiyuki and the others, you know.

Rage says teasingly.

'That's right Chiyuki, don't say anything hard, don't say it.'

That's right, Chiyuki, I'm not going to tell you anything.

Reno and Nao say happily.

Tomorrow, Shirone and I will return to the world we came from.

That's why Rage and the others gave us a brief farewell party.

Rage had the people of the temple prepare refreshments and drinks for us.

The drink I had them prepare for me was alcohol.

The drink I have in my possession now is a liquor made from grape-like fruit, mixed with seawater and honey.

The alcohol content of this drink is low, so you won't get drunk at first, except for one sip. The only exception would be Kyouka, who fell ill after just one sip.

That Kyouka is sleeping on a nearby sofa and is being cared for by Kaya.

However, no matter how low the alcohol content is, we are still underage and drinking is prohibited.

If Kyouka hadn't fallen down, I might not have noticed.

'But hey Chiyuki, this might be the last time we'll see this world and we won't see each other for a while. Let's part ways happily at the end.

Rage says.

'I won't be seeing everyone for a while,'

Syrone said sadly.

Everyone became a little dispirited at her words.

The place is going to become damp. The place is going to be damp. Let's have fun!

Reno and Nao agree with those words.

'I can't help it. ......

I reluctantly agree to drink.

I don't want the place to get damp, either.

Rage is always taking me for a ride, I think back to the past.

I was raised by my parents to be a hard worker, and all I did was study.

Then Rage took me outside.

I remember the first time in my life we skipped school together. Playing in the city when everyone else was studying. I knew I shouldn't, but it was a new and exciting experience that I had never had before.

My adventures in this world were also full of anger at Rage, but deep down I'm sure it was fun.

We fought dragons, interacted with the elves, went to the mountains, the sea, and the caves. It was fantastic and it was like walking into a story.

Of course there were dangers and hardships, but I enjoyed it because Rage was there and everyone else was there. If I came to this world by myself, it would just be hard.

That's probably why people don't want to go back.

But for me, this adventure will end tomorrow.

I'm going back to my daily life first. In truth, I'm pulling back on my hair.

It's time for someone to go home.

It's getting damp, which is not good.

I drink alcohol. It's a little sweet and tasty.

In general, alcohol is highly impure and can only be drunk through a straw with a hollow plant inside.

But the liquor served in this temple is easy to drink because the impurities have been carefully removed.

We drank the alcohol and chatted about it.

I'm sorry, too, Reigi. I had to quit in the middle of practice.

It's no use. It was a sudden decision.

Cyrone apologizes to Rage.

The practice for countermeasures against Dihardt had to be stopped because Sirone had to leave suddenly. Besides, Sirone also said that it was impossible to teach Rage, so they needed another countermeasure method from the beginning.

''Everyone, please take care of Rage. Especially don't fight against Dihardt until you have the math to definitely win!

Everyone nodded.

Dihardt is strong. But he's not someone we have to take down, even if we have to risk our lives.

I'm asking Kaya to search for the pervert. In some cases, we have to find someone other than Raina who can summon them.

If we can't defeat Dihardt and defeat the demon king, then we'll have to ask that person to do it.

Then we enjoyed some drinks and snacks.

And then it was time to talk about whether we should end it for tomorrow.

Can-can-can.

Multiple bells can be heard.

'What's that sound!'

Everyone looks at each other.

'There's an intruder!

They're coming from the west entrance!

There are some weirdos at the east entrance!

A gasp from the knights.

'Intruders!

Apparently the bell we just heard was the sound of an alarm system.

'Is there an intruder, or do we need to get out?
