Ore wa Mada, Honki o Dashite Inai

On the terrace of the royal palace, a young nobleman had received an award from the king.

It's a festival of origin, a match in front of you.

That's where he's been awarded the victory, which would have been a great honor, but he had turned his face bright red and trembled as a mess.

Because I quit.

With the same grades on the reverse leg, he declined the award to the finish after appealing to "I'm not serious yet" that anyone could see.

As a result, there was no cheer for the guy receiving the award, and he was secretly laughing from around.

"You know, I get a lot of recognition from that."

"Don't tell him that, but it's second place."

"That's really amazing, though. Which nobleman is that? We'll see it for the first time this year."

In return for my interest in that guy, my ratings went up over there incidentally, but well, I'm not serious, and I didn't show you the bottom and it won't be a problem.

I enjoyed his face turning bright red in the distance and then quietly tried to walk away from the scene.

"Hermes."

"Hmm? Your Highness Shaw."

It was the Third Prince Shaw the Aigina that stopped me.

After the Shadow of the Dragon King, just like Lina, he started eyeing me.

"You turned down the award or you look like you"

"I'm sorry, because I've accomplished my purpose"

Seems like Shaw and Lina should talk to each other with some stomach breaking, so I decided not to freak out and talk honestly.

"Did Nex do something? Well, it's about him, you don't have to tell me, I guess I said something extra."

Shaw said with a smile.

Well, does Shaw know that kind of personality?

I knew you were right not to make a bad deception.

"I need to talk to you more than that."

"Mmm."

Shaw's expression is weird.

From a gentle smile until then to a hard, serious look.

Follow me and walk out first.

I'd love to give you as much of a break as I can for serious talk, but I wouldn't go either if they were Shaw.

I followed Shaw, just to hear what he was talking about for now.

From within the palace where the terrace was visible, he turned much larger and came to the other side of the palace.

As a result of the palace in between, the festivities, including the people, became distant and felt as if they were events in a different world.

After entering the garden where no one was, Shaw stopped and turned to me.

"Mmm."

The expression was becoming more and more serious.

"Um... why don't you ask..."

We've been talking about meteorites all over the country lately.

"-!"

Piku! and frowned.

"I knew you were smart."

"... ugh"

I sighed.

Mindful, I answered Shaw.

"Even so many idiots can tell, that one. I fell twice in the Canoe family territory alone. It's harder to think of it as just a natural phenomenon."

"And there's a demon tribe involved..."

"... Yes"

I knew it was the same.

Shaw looked up at the sky and spoke out.

"The meteorites that have been rife all over the country lately, the majority of them with the addition of demons appearing out of the meteorites. I feel the will of someone, but I'm too short of a clue to trace it"

"Are you telling me to look for it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"No, that's it"

Relieved.

I know it's too early to be relieved, but I was still relieved by it.

"Actually, I dropped another one yesterday on the outskirts of Retim. I want you to get rid of that."

"Eliminate? Don't you look into it? If you'd just fallen yesterday, you wouldn't know anything, would you?

"First of all, it's elimination. It's not a good idea to make a fuss during the Serene Festival. The country's prestige falls to the ground. I want to get rid of it before something hits me. And..."

Shaw stopped talking there and looked at me.

It's as if we're waiting for an answer match.

I sighed, I said.

"... falling again anyway"

"Exactly."

If Shaw's story is true, it means he's falling over the country from time to time.

I fell in the middle of the festival. It's easy to predict falling again somewhere, even if we get rid of that.

"Please, will you do it? The reward is... revoke all the cross medals you've ever had."

……

What Shaw has put out was a very attractive suggestion.

Shaw knows me very well, which is why he can offer it as a consideration.

That is so fascinating.

Not long ago, I would have jumped without one or two.

but not now.

I'm changing my policy to be normal.

Revoking all four cross medals is, on the contrary, too conspicuous to help.

That's no good, not the other way around.

"No, that's good. I don't need a reward or anything. If His Royal Highness decides to do it all after it's over, that's fine."

"Thanks! That'll help."

Shaw was delighted with the tremendous momentum.

Well, it stinks a little... but I can't help it.

That night, relying on the map Shaw gave me, I left Retim and headed for the meteorite that it was in the suburbs.

The aim was, of course, to carry out the mission so that no one could see it.

For this reason my sister left it at the King's Inn. If they ask me where I'm going.

"Look at this. I've got an alternate appointment for Wang Duichi."

"Oh, man!

deceived me with the interaction that

The Ortier Lettim edition I just got became a star at the expense of, but I'll charge Shaw for this later.

No, there may be times when you withdraw the foreword and let the Ortier of Wang Duichi hook you up.

With that in mind, going down an unpopular suburban street, I reached the location of the meteorite depicted in the map.

He's similar to the meteorite that fell on the outskirts of Pindos before.

That means, like Grandpa Kensei, crack it first and exorcise what came out of it.

I wonder if that's okay.

Anyway, let's crack it first.

And that's when I thought.

"Whoa, there he is."

"Let him come to such a despicable place."

"Well, that's nice, because it's easy to do without seeing people."

Suddenly, with a slight tone, three men appeared.

All three of them have a long sword that looks cheap but practical.

They're all dressed up with bad patterns and no decent business, in a sober tone.

"What are you guys?"

"Damn husband, I'm gonna get you some pain in the eye."

"You've done too much, you know that?

"Shit, I'll give you a break with some fingers or bones."

……

I glanced at the men's words.

At the same time I explored the signs around me.

Beyond the men, a dozen meters away, I felt signs of humans hiding behind trees.

Maybe that young nobleman - did I say Nex?

It's him and the loose ends he hired.

"Oh, there it is."

The three men continued to pull out the long sword and came toward them, stripping them of their thin (,,,,) killing temper.

"Won't you pull it out, sir? If you've noticed, it's easy to do your job."

One of the men said in a mockery mix.

I can't pull it out, that's a word directed at a long sword that's lowered to my waist.

The meteorite, and the devils that come out of it.

"Shit! It doesn't make sense to pull it out!

One screamed and three were slaughtered at the same time.

Gassi!

"What!"

"Become!"

"Stupid!!

The three voiced astonishment at the same time.

In the darkness, I grabbed bare hands and stopped the three slaughters that emitted cold light.

Hands protruding with the so-called "par," all three between their fingers stopped at the.

And twist your wrist.

Pakikiki-Keen!

Three successive metal sounds, all three long swords broken.

I couldn't stay on Zako any longer, I threw the broken cuts aside as they were, and I put myself in all of them and stunned them.

"Become!"

Now my voice rose from afar.

It's Nex's voice.

"Ha..."

What an idiot.

If you're hiding and watching, stay hidden until the end.

"Come on out."

"... you, what have you done"

Nex, who came out with a notion, asked, staring at me.

You don't have to answer.

I stepped in silently and let Nex eat me too.

Let's faint this guy and get rid of the meteorite and go home.

I thought so and sank the necklace without question.

"Gu Hu!"

Nex got down on his knees, but he didn't pass out.

I think I misread the power a little bit.

Well, he's the guy who bent over and took second place in suppressing the other nobles with pumpkin kicks.

Do you have basic competencies?

"Damn... Damn... Damn..."

Nex nods and repeats words of resentment.

Let's get another shot in and make sure it sinks.

"Mmm!"

That's when the anomaly occurred.

Something black gathered around the neck.

Seeing the origin of what came together, it was from a meteorite.

Something black that was able to leak out of the meteorite gathered around the neck and was taken in by its body.

"Gu, gu, gu, gu!

Whenever something black entered his body, Nex raised a voice that was neither distressed nor angry.

In the midst of being taken lightly, the body of the Nex swelled up and turned into a bipedal demon, double that of a human being.

"... what a so-so"

Is this it, or was he taken over by the darkness of his heart, or something like that?

I glanced at the meteorite. Compared to the overwhelming presence of demons in front of us, meteorites had no such thing.

I can't feel anything, I'm just stoned.

Looks like I totally moved on to the Nex.

"Phew."

"Yeah?"

Suddenly he laughed cynically, Nex, turning to something, the guy who turned into a demon shook his arm aside unconstitutionally.

That shockwave ran directly beside it, creating a deep ditch that crossed a metre into the street.

"Wonderful. I didn't know such wonderful and joyful things existed in this world."

"That's not a demonic tone."

"Demons? No, this is a power comparable to God. It fits me 120 percent. It's the power of destiny."

"Ha... Really?"

"You don't understand the situation?

Again, Nex waved the opposite arm from earlier.

Grooves of the same depth ran to the other side.

"Don't know what will happen if you wield this power on the human body. I feel good now. Yes, let's go through that sword and let him slay you up to three times."

"No, that's not necessary"

"Don't hesitate, this is mercy -"

Step into the nostalgia of the demon neck, a diagonal down to the right hook.

"Gu Hu!"

Nex's leg floated for a moment, so bent that it became a "ku" letter.

"That much power, I don't even have to be serious"

"Become, ba-"

I let go of the body blow again, something black popped out of the mouth of the twice beaten neck.

Grab it, pull it out.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!

Nex was frightened as he pulled the black all the way out of his mouth.

When he extinguished what he pulled out with the magic of flames, Nex, who returned to man, was struck by despair, and he kept staring at it, disappearing into the void with his nagging eyes.
