Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

That's what happened.

Shirone came back from the tower, so I listened.

We have completed our search and are now all back at the villa.

Time was already past noon and it was almost evening.

"I'm curious about what the vampire said."

The one who woke the vampire came to the tower and left behind a messenger who was supposed to be there.

"What do you think of Chiyuki?

Shirone asks me, but I can't judge by that alone. I thought he might be Dihart, but it's strange that he hasn't acted for three days. And Dihart didn't bring a dragon with him when we met.

Also, since he seems stronger than a vampire, Strigues is weaker than a vampire.

"I don't know. I wonder who he is."

Well, if Chiyuki doesn't understand, there's nothing we can do about it.

Shirone replies unfortunately.

"Speaking of which, did you find the pervert?

I shake my head when asked by Shirone.

"I used Kyoka to get Nao to check on everyone in Rox Kingdom, but I couldn't find anyone who looked like that."

In the end, I couldn't find a man who looked like that. Is it incredibly latent that you can't find it after searching for it?

The other thing I can think of is being outside the kingdom while we're investigating, but it's too timing.

Nao is lying down because he is tired.

"But there was a harvest. I found someone like Strigues."

"Eh! Really!!

Shirone shouted.

Nao discovered a monster who was turning into a human being while he was searching.

Some monsters can be transformed into humans. At first, I thought the monster might be a pervert, but the monster is a woman and seems to have been in this country since before we came, so I don't think he's a pervert.

Pharmacist Orua. That's the monster's name.

"So, what happened?

"I haven't done anything so far. I still haven't decided who did this."

That's what I told Shirone, but I think he's probably the killer.

And there is no doubt that monsters living as humans are very suspicious even if they are not the killers.

It seems unlikely, but it may not be dangerous to humans, not to the killer.

Of course, Reggie is right, maybe we should get rid of it. I'm lost in judgment.

"For now, Sir Lucrus and the others are watching, but I think we should report to Sir Lembert because the Shirones are back."

We are strangers. In this country, it would be desirable for the knights of this country to move first.

I haven't talked much, but Lember would do well. Rather, it seems that only Lember can be of use to the knights of this country. I've met other knights, but honestly, I don't think I can handle it.

Better leave the guards to the Lembers than the Templar Knights.

That way, Lucrus, who is watching, will be able to return to his original mission.

Is Lucrus doing well on guard duty?

◆ Knight Templar Captain Lucrus

"Hüros, you... Manipulated....."

Look at the shrine knight in front of you on his knees. There is no focus in the eyes. It's like waking up and dreaming.

I was attacked by the Templar Knight Huros, who was supposed to work for me as I watched over the humanized monster.

It was a sudden event, so I couldn't cope with it, and I got a smoke screen of paralysis poison that they released.

The smokescreen appears to be made from a fairly powerful magic potion that prevents your body from moving freely.

"Captain Lucrus...."

Like me, my paralyzed subordinates call themselves.

I hear voices. The woman under surveillance walks in here.

"Seems like they've noticed, but it would have been nice if they had instructed the Templar Knights not to tell you about me. The brave woman noticed, but she didn't."

I didn't hear about the contact between this woman and Huros. Those who carried the Huros to ourselves must have been under our control. I didn't say anything about the monster woman in front of me.

As the brave man said, we should have defeated him.

"But, Orua, there's no doubt that the brave have noticed. What are you going to do now?"

A voice came from behind the woman under surveillance.

Your body is numb when you hear that voice, but your spine feels frozen.

A voice approached from behind the woman.

His face is hidden in a mask and he doesn't know who he is. Looks like a man from the sound of his voice. And he looked like he was under surveillance.

So I wonder. According to Chiyuki, there must have been one person under surveillance. I wonder who that is. I haven't heard of anyone like this.

"Yes, Sarkissi-sama. You have to move more than you realize."

A woman bows her head respectfully.

From that attitude, it seems that men are more superior.

"Okay, let's move. Then I will move without hiding. There is a brave man who was not on schedule. You should take full revenge on the brave."

"Yes, Master Zalxis."

A man called Zarxis leaves.

When the man leaves, he sees a woman called Orua.

"Instead of killing you, I'll use you as a tool."

A woman approaches. I tried to escape, but my body didn't move.

"This kingdom will end tonight."

The woman laughs softly.

"Dear Chiyuki...."

Call the name of the dark-haired girl.

So I lost consciousness.

◆ Rox Kingdom Gatekeeper

It's not night yet, but the cloudy sky darkens the area.

I can see the sky through the window of the cabin, which is a checkpoint, and feel the night coming.

Since Sir Lembert's return earlier, we have not had the task of guarding the gates of the walls ourselves.

It has been ten years since I became the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper of the walls is an important task in controlling entry and exit.

As a result, the salary is better than that of the guards on the walls of the former occupation.

However, the more salaries, the more responsibilities.

Unlike good guards, who only have to watch out for monsters, the gatekeeper must also take care of humans.

If any person is allowed to enter the country freely, the security and food situation in the country will become worse.

For this reason, we must sort out the people to be admitted.

It is possible to enter the country not only by citizens of one's own country, but also by people with referrals and guarantees from allied citizens and citizens of one's own country. Otherwise, displaced persons are basically not allowed to enter the country. Some of the displaced complain of affection or threaten. There is a need for a strong spirit that is not influenced by such things. For this reason, it is fundamental for gatekeepers to behave intimidatively against displaced persons who do not have citizenship rights so as not to show a gap.

But there are exceptions. In the Kingdom of Rocks, even displaced persons are allowed to enter the country during festivals.

Of course, you can't go there, so you should keep a record of your name, age, and place to stay. As a result, the doorman's work during the festival had tripled to normal.

I am tired of handling more immigrants today than usual.

When the sun goes down, there should be a replacement. I think I'll have a drink on my way home.

I noticed something strange there. There was a rush from above the walls.

"What happened...."

And I noticed something else. Someone is approaching the gate.

There are more than a hundred people approaching.

"That's a monster...."

Those approaching are monsters such as goblins and orcs that are not humans. And it wasn't just a monster.

"Zombies...?

Some of the monsters approaching had no heads or holes in their bodies.

I remember the zombie incident the other day.

"Hurry up and close the gate!! And contact the royal palace!!!

There are always three gatekeepers on duty. Turn around and hurry to give instructions to your colleagues.

But I haven't heard back. I see one of my colleagues is down. And beside that, there's another colleague.

"Oops!! Hey, what happened?!

Another colleague looks at us. The focus of the eye is not right. And there was something like a stick in his hand.

"You...."

The colleague shook a stick at himself.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

"Mr. Nao, what's wrong?

I wanted to go to the royal palace and Nao stopped me when I left the museum.

Nao must have been asleep saying he was tired of exploring during the day.

Once you're asleep, there's a Nao that shouldn't be up all the time. This is an emergency.

"Hmm... Chiyuki, something strange is coming..."

Nao looks like he's in trouble.

I don't know what's coming, but there's something because Nao says it.

"I'll take a look. Nao-san, get everyone together."

I fly in the sky with the magic of flying.

It's already dark around here.

A campfire had already been set up on the walls and at the gates, so I managed to see the country.

There seems to be some disturbance at the gate.

I use hyperopia magic.

Not as much as Nao, but I can see some distance with this magic.

"Hey, the gate is broken!!

I saw zombies entering through the main gate to the south.

"This may not be good...."

I hurried back to the hall.

◆ Gallios, Freedom Warrior of the Kingdom of Rocks

"What's wrong, Black?

Black stops suddenly as he walks sideways.

It is the way home after breaking up with Renbur who went to the royal palace to report.

When I look at Kuro, I look at the distance. The state of Kuro was unusual.

Although Kuro hasn't been normal since we first met.

I remember the first time I saw him.

It was when I managed to crawl back into the woods at dusk, where I couldn't move because my feet had been hit.

"Are you okay?

A young man stood when he was shouted at and turned to his face. That was the meeting with Kuro.

I didn't notice until I could speak, but I couldn't keep an eye on this young man after I noticed.

I was surprised to have carried her in a thinner body than me.

Probably Kuro is not human. And it's probably very strong.

I wonder if the tower just now was actually solved by Kuro alone.

Why are you pretending to be human? I don't know why.

I just couldn't leave this young man alone. That's why I invited you to my house.

And when I went out with him, I didn't really think this young man was a bad person.

"Gallios....."

Kuro calls out his name. At first I was acquainted with Lord Gallios, but now I can figure it out and call it Gallios.

"Perhaps we should hurry and gather the freedom fighters who broke up earlier... I have a bad feeling about this."

Kuro said in a hurry.

How do you know that? I wanted to say that for a moment.

"I can't tell you the details, but it looks like something's about to happen... I want you to believe me...."

Kuro talks back and forth.

But the eyes were serious. It's a short relationship, but I don't think Kuro makes a bad joke.

"Oh, okay."

I nod.

I thought about believing in Kuro.

Kuro sees something they don't know. Something terrible is going to happen.

Thank you, Gallios.

Kuro thanked him.

"That's good!!

I went back to get the freedom fighters I broke up with earlier.

◆ the people of Rox

"It was a zombie!!

"The gate is open!! Why not!?

"Help me!!

The people around me are making noise.

It was when the sun fell and night began to fall. The zombies collapsed through the gates.

"What are the gatekeepers doing!?

Obviously, the gatekeeper's job is to close the gate when the monster approaches.

That has not been fulfilled.

"Hurry up, knight or guard!!!

Zombies move slowly and are still in the square near the gate. But there are a lot of zombies, so if you leave them alone, it'll be a big deal.

At that time, the wind blew.

"What....."

I saw no zombies near the gate.

Instead, she was a girl with wings.

"Angels!!

"The angels are here to help!!

People around me say to each other.

"I'll take care of this, so evacuate quickly!!

The girl laughed as she turned around.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

Looks like you made it.

Silone seems to be holding the zombies down near the gate.

Later I look north. The Kingdom of Rocks has a back gate to the north besides the main gate to the south. It could be dangerous there. That's why I had Kyoka and Kaya go there.

Lino and Sahoko are also helping the wounded and patrolling the interior of the city.

And I'm sending Nao to hunt down the monsters that have turned into humans that could be responsible for the zombies.

And I'm waiting for something to happen in each place.

Then wipe out the zombies with the magic of Rage's sunlight.

"I hope this works...."

I murmur.

How did this happen?

Probably found out I was watching.

Was Lucrus embarrassed?

That's why they thought it was a monster, and maybe they acted.

Maybe we should have put an end to it. I regret it.

Nao's on his way, but he's probably gone. I hope they find us soon.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Chiyuki."

I can hear voices from behind.

"No, it's faster for you."

I turn around and answer Raige.

Raige is at my pace, so I don't know when he will come. Sometimes it's late.

I said it a little ironically, but Reggie is as cool as ever.

So what do you say we do it?

Reggie's hands begin to shine.

A little closer I can't open my eyes.

Rage throws the light into the sky.

The light illuminates the night sky and makes me wonder if the sun has climbed again.

It's the magic of great sunlight. A unique Rage technique that specializes in light attributes.

The sunlight illuminates everything in the Kingdom of Rocks. This will wipe out all the zombies.

I look down.

"Eh, no way...."

The kingdom is wrapped in black fog.

I noticed it for the first time because it was illuminated by the sun.

"That's the night clothes."

Reggie's right. That black fog thing would be a night shield against the magic of sunlight. Nevertheless, I have never seen a night's clothes cover the whole country.

Rage's great sunlight magic cannot be reached with this.

"I can't believe I could use this kind of magic... is it really Striguez?

I don't think Striguez was able to use such magic the last time he fought. It could be a more powerful monster than that.

Nao is in danger. You should go and help.

"Reiji. I'd better go and help Nao-san....."

I look at Raige by the way. Reggie is looking at the royal palace.

Rage's condition is strange.

"Reggie?

"Chiyuki!!

Rage suddenly made a voice.

"What's the matter, Reggie?

"Alumina is in danger! Later please!!

"Hey Reggie!!

Rage disappears without me having time to stop. The magic of tracking movement. Probably went to Alumina.

"Already.... I'm on my own....."

I complain about the space where Raige is gone. What do you think is going to happen here?

When I came to this world, I felt that our treatment was a little messy.

I wanted to go to the royal palace and complain, but that was not the end of it. We must hurry to Nao.

Nao has low Attack Rather than high Evasion Proficiency. That's why I have to struggle.

If the monster Nao is looking for is as strong as the Strigues I saw last time, it is fine, but it may be stronger than that. You'd better hurry.

I magically explore Nao's position.

◆ Rox Kingdom Knight Lember

When I catch the sword, I hear the sound of a kin.

"Oh no... Sir Lucrus. Why...?

Call out to the man in front of whom he waved his sword.

It was Lucrus, the Templar Knight, who waved his sword to protect the brave.

He is the commander of the Knights of the Temple who came to this country and has spoken several times.

Unlike the other Knights of the Temple, he had no place to look down on himself and looked like a personally good man.

Why would he attack the royal castle?

After returning from the tower and reporting to the king, he went to see Alumina armed as it was.

And when I was talking to Alumina, I suddenly started screaming.

I felt strange and encountered Lucrus running to move the alumina and the king to a safe place.

At that time, Lucrus defeated one of his fellow knights.

I can see some guards and other knights down.

Honestly, I didn't know what was going on.

And when Lucrus suddenly came to us, he waved his sword.

It was aggressive, but I managed to catch the first blow.

"Why? Lord Lucrus! Why are you attacking us?!

But Lucrus answers nothing. I don't seem to have heard my voice.

So I finally realized that Lucrus' eyes were insane. It's as if you've lost your emotions.

But I didn't seem to have time to worry about that right now.

Sword with Lucrus. The opponent's sword was fast and could barely be prevented.

Besides, I don't have any power from earlier.

"Lember...."

The alumina behind me calls anxiously.

We can't let ourselves fall while the alumina is behind us.

Lucrus brings out more swords.

The sword is fast and heavy. I was finally able to protect it.

I think that's the Templar Knight. Much stronger than yourself.

I put out a sword to prevent Lucrus's sword.

Suddenly Lucrus pulls back his sword, which was when it was aligned several times.

"What....."

Someday a man was behind Lucrus.

"You're a pharmacist, Ora...."

I knew the man.

This is Orua, the pharmacist who came to this country two weeks ago.

Orua had bad eyes and always had a black cloth wrapped around her eyes. That is now solved.

"Was it Strigues...."

Orua's eyes were not human eyes. And his eyes were round and large, and his white part was yellow: and it was the eyes of the lion, the eyes of Strigues.

And then I realize something. The shrine knight who fell last night was first transported to Orua's shop.

"Really, at that time...."

I realize it's a later festival.

"Unlike the other knights, you seem to do a little bit of it."

Orua approaches with a smile.

I didn't expect anyone to come in like a human.

In principle, entry into the Kingdom is not permitted without the introduction of an Allied citizen or a Rox citizen.

But, of course, there are exceptions. That's when an immigrant has special skills such as magicians. The reason is, of course, that it is in the national interest to have such skilled personnel in the country.

Orua also allowed her to stay in the kingdom because she was familiar with medicine.

From now on, however, it may be better to restrict entry even for skilled personnel.

"Now, shall I give you the princess? I'll use it as a tool to defeat the brave."

"Let me do that!!

Looks like we're taking alumina hostage and using it as a shield for the brave, but we won't let that happen.

I shook my sword and stormed.

Defeat this woman and everything will be over. Orua lowered Lucrus in a state of alarm. Now's your chance.

"Feather Arrow!!

When Orua waves her arm, something flies in.

"Ha!!

I take defensive stance in a hurry.

"Gu...."

My body feels painful.

It couldn't prevent everything, and a flying object stung my body. What was stabbed was a bird's feather.

The bird's feathers pierce through its armor and stick into its body.

"Damn it...."

Get on your knees. I can't move.

"Renbur!!!

Alumina screams sadly.

"Alumina, run..."

But I don't think so. We have to go back the way we came to escape, and you're a dead end.

You're about to cry. Why am I so powerless? I can't believe I can't protect one woman I like.

"Hmm, I thought you were alone, so you took a sweet look."

Orua kicks herself when she approaches. They kicked me off. I'll roll straight to the end of the aisle.

Orua keeps approaching the alumina.

"Oh no... alumina..."

I was so sad that I could only watch.

Come here. Come here.

I can't see his expression from behind Orua, but I can see him laughing.

"Noooo!! Help me, Reiji!!"

Alumina calls out the name of the brave.

"Fufu, do you want to call the brave? That's..."

The light shines in front of the alumina when Orua is about to say something.

"What!!

Orua jumps over herself and falls back.

"Reiji!!

Alumina's pleasant voice.

There was a brave man after the light had subsided.

"Alumina!! I'm here to help!!

The brave man laughs.

The look on the brave alumina was an expression I had never seen before.

◆ Sword Maiden Shirone

"Hey there, Sunlight Blade!!

I beat the zombies with my sword.

"What the hell is this shadow?!

I complain.

Reggie, it looks like you've summoned the sun, but it looks like a black fog is covering the area and there's no light.

I shined the sun, but I was not prevented from reaching, and I had to give it to my sword to fight.

I breathe on my shoulders.

I feel that the wear and tear is more severe than usual.

Looking around, freedom fighters like Gallios are fighting zombies.

Without them, the zombies would have collapsed into the city.

It was sudden, but the freedom fighters moved fast, so I was saved. In contrast, the movement of the country's knights and guards seems slow.

Maybe something happened at the royal palace?

I want to make sure, but now we have to deal with the zombies in front of us.

I slash and tear the zombies that are approaching.

Gallios managed to keep the zombies down.

But zombies come uninterrupted. There will be limits eventually.

If it's true, I should be fine by myself, but I can't help it.

"Maybe because of this black fog guy?

Maybe this black fog is limiting my power.

"Could it be a really bad situation...?

◆ Rox Kingdom Knight Lember

"Wow...."

The brave men and the shrine knights crossed their swords before their eyes.

I lay on my injured body and watched the battle.

Not only the opponents I did not oppose, but also the other Templar Knights and Ora's attacks were prevented by the brave.

"It's okay, Lember. I'm sure Lady Reggie will help you."

The alumina comes close to me.

The wound was bleeding and I was about to lose consciousness.

But I thought it was strange. I think one of the brave wives was stronger in the tower.

It seems that the brave man is not really capable.

"Dear Reggie...."

Alumina is worried that she may have noticed something wrong with the hero.

"Goddess, may I ask Reiji to protect you...."

Alumina prays.

And I closed my eyes and prayed to the goddess the same way.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

I can't believe there was such a tunnel in this country.

I murmur as I walk.

While I was magically searching for Nao's location, I found the entrance to the underground passage behind the alley near the royal palace.

It may normally be closed, but now that the entrance is open, Nao seems to have entered the underground passage from here.

When I came in, I couldn't see the path for a long time.

"Still, the magic is consuming a lot."

With just a little bit of the magic of lighting, fatigue is pushing in.

Probably the effect of the black fog that will cover this country.

This black fog seems to be spreading throughout the country. Let the magic of those who created this fog shine.

I care about the safety of Nao. You'd better hurry.

As you walk, you find the door in the middle of the aisle. Nao looked like he was in here.

When I open the door, I go out into a large room.

The room is not very bright, but it is illuminated, and the room is blurry but illuminated.

And Nao fell a little away from the door.

"Nao-san!!

I rush to Nao.

"Nao-san, hold on!!!

"Chiyuki...."

When I call, Nao answers weakly.

Life seems to be safe, but Nao's face turned pale and he wasn't feeling well as usual.

"Nao-san... I can't believe you can do this."

I couldn't hide the shock.

Nao is the most evasive of us. No one has been able to defeat Nao since he came to this world.

The Nao is down.

"No, Chiyuki... Don't touch Nao...."

Nao warns.

If you look closely, Nao's body is wrapped around something like a black rose.

Probably a magic pot. It seemed that Nao couldn't move because of this pot.

Nao told me not to touch it, but I can't leave it like this.

I touch to strip Ibara.

"Ugh...."

I felt like I was deprived of power just by touching the lizard a little bit.

"What the hell!! You bastard!!

Now I try to use my own knife, but the lizard gets in the way and I can't help it.

"No, Chiyuki... Run fast, before he comes....."

Nao shook his head and urged him to run away.

"Who is he?! Is that how he sees you?!

I asked Nao, but Nao seemed to be unable to answer any more.

"I can't anymore...."

That way Nao won't answer anything.

Nao-san! Hang in there!!

I called Nao, but there was no reply.

"Hmm... Looks like you got another butterfly."

Someone comes out of the back of the room.

"Who?!

I stand up.

A man wearing a mask from the darkness in the back of the room... probably walks in.

The man's mask was creepy, decorated with spiders.

"You killed Nao? Who are you?

I couldn't find him when Nao searched during the day. Is he one of the monsters we found?

"It's your enemy. Dark-haired wise man."

Speak clearly when you are an enemy.

I feel like a pretty strong enemy. I feel different from ordinary monsters.

The monster just now may have come from Nargor.

"Maybe? I wonder if it's Nargol's hand.

The man in the mask nods when I ask.

"No, you're right."

Apparently, it's under Modes' command. There was no one like this when we attacked Nargor.

Does the demon king have a habit of sparing?

"Well, shall I sacrifice myself to you, the daughters of that damned goddess!!

Feel the powerful magic waves coming from the masked man.

Looks like he's trying to use some kind of magic.

I'll start first.

"Ultrasonic wave!!!

When I sing, a sound shock wave hits the man in the mask.

However, the sound shock wave disappears in front of the man.

"Lie!? Defended Without Magic!!

And you're feeling really tired. With magic like this, you can't get tired of this. Something's wrong.

"This country is already my territory. Within this realm, the power of Lord Nargor's unsupervised will be taken."

The man in the mask is right, his body is weak.

"I don't know, I don't think it's powerful. You seem to have powers comparable to the gods of Ellios, but nothing can be done in this realm."

A man approaches.

I retreat.

I can't win alone. I'm sorry about Nao, but we should call for help here. I try to leave this place.

"I won't let that happen. It's the black roses!!

Did you think I was going to retreat? The masked man is using his magic.

Black roses emerge from the ground and tie up my body just like Nao.

"No... it hurts..."

Moaning tied up by Ibara. I don't have the strength.

"Lucky. I was going to rob this country of its only human life, but I didn't expect the brave men to come."

The man in the mask laughs.

"I wanted to kill the heroes, so I looked into it. It was easy to find out about you. You guys stand out, anyway. Her daughter has excellent detection, but she's not very good at hiding herself. There are many ways you can't find her if you are careful about her. Now it's time to finish."

The man's hand is reaching for us.

"You will be my sacrifice. I'm not going to kill you right away. I'm going to suck your life out."

Fear builds up in me.

"No! No! Help me, Reggie!!!

I cry and call Raj.

"Brave men cannot come to help. This room is bounded and magically impossible to communicate with. And now the brave are fighting Orua to save the princess of this country. I can't afford to help you. And the brave will not be able to help as long as they are in my realm. I'll tell him I'm here to help him back."

The ruthless words of the masked man.

Am I going to die like this? No, somebody help me! I scream in my heart.

The masked man's hand touches my cheek. The hands were about to freeze to the very cold of my heart.

I keep my eyes shut.

I was afraid I was going to be able to handle it.

At that time, there was a sound of the door opening from behind.

"Holy shit!!

The man in the mask shouted in a hurry.

All of a sudden, my body frees up and leaves the man in the mask.

Are you okay?

The voice called was a very gentle voice.

And when they saw it, there was a man who covered his face with a mask. It must be a man from the sound of his voice.

I am held by the man's right arm. I felt the warmth of a man, and the fear I had felt before disappeared.

"This child....."

Nao was held in the left arm of the man who hid his face. Nao, like me, has already been untied.

When I get down to the ground, I get handed over Nao.

"Uuu...."

Nao moans. He's out of his mind, but he seems to be alive.

I put Nao's right arm around my shoulder to support Nao.

"Who are you?

Suddenly appeared, and after removing Nao and I from Ibara, I held her and went down to the door. It's incredibly fast. I'm not the only one.

But the man who hid his face did not answer the question, pointing to the back door.

"Take the kid and run fast. I'll take care of it myself."

Who is this man? The man in the mask is dangerous. Will he be all right by himself?

But I was somehow reassured by the man's words.

"Okay... thank you. But don't push it, I'll call for help."

I leave the door. I have to call Raige. He will be in danger alone.

Walk underground in support of Nao. I am strong in this world so I can move as fast as I can hold one. But now I can't help but walk.

We have to hurry. But I don't walk fast.

"I should have asked for your name....."

I regret it a little.

If you survive, I'll find him and thank him.

I kept walking towards the ground.
