”I'm sorry, Fran. It's okay now.”
(Really?)
”Oh.”
While I was groaning, the Devil's Sword ran me away again. I hope Ursi brings some info home...
But I don't know how co-eating was activated. If I kill a homogeneous opponent, it's supposed to be my ability to absorb power...
We're inorganic, we're already dead. So you're saying that if you attack and do damage because you're dead, it activates? Or the decision to cut it, kill some of it? Or is it some other reason?
Either way, it's dangerous not to eat together when fighting that demon sword in the future. Also, I want you to give me a break to taste that feeling.
But absorbing the opponent's power means I'm strengthened and the Devil's Sword is weakened. Then you might want to put up with the disgust and use a shared meal. Hmmm......
”Fran, are you okay?
”Hmm?”
”The movement seemed suddenly dull along the way...”
”That sword had the power to rule the spirit of the slayer. It doesn't affect you?
Bermelia and the others ask me worried. Frederick has already healed his wounds with a potion in Bermelia's possession, but his face is slightly praised. Though prevented by mental endurance, it's Frederick who ate his dominance skills. I guess I understand the horror.
We also know that when Fran is manipulated, we can't win it ourselves. That's why I was staring at Fran to be vigilant.
”I have resistance skills, so I'm fine.”
”Right.”
”Good.”
Apparently, you understood that word had no lies. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
Then we decided to head to the inn to rescue the humans. That explosion, and part of the inn is still burning. I had to do something about this.
Leave the fire extinguishing activities to Bermelia, who specializes in hydromagic, and we'll look for people who are late on the run. But there were surprisingly few people who were injured and unable to move.
Originally, luxury lodging means there are few guests. In addition, it was sometimes an inn for adventurers of rank C and above, half of whom had fled on their own.
Of course, there were some rich people in general, but they had escorts, etc., who had already taken the evacuation with their hands.
In the end, we rescued only one employee who was late on the run. The young man has also healed his wounds and led him outside the inn.
”Let's go back to the courtyard once”
”Mmm.”
We need to secure Gordon's body.
The soldiers will be here as soon as this noise comes. Naturally, if you look at Gordon's body, you'll be suspected of something to do with the case because of its unnatural nature. The body must also be seized.
”I want to hold the body before then”
”Mmm.”
When we went back to the courtyard, Frederick had already identified the body. My torso has been destroyed, but my head remains, and it is possible that I still have a clue that leads to the identity of the Devil's Sword.
”Got something?
”Somewhat”
You know what? Don't listen to that.
”Tell me.”
”First of all the qualities of this man, but definitely under the authority of the Count Baileys family, definitely a man named Gordon”
”Same as Hamulus?
