LCD Death March (WN)

??? first post on this forum after over a year and i'm confused about the fact that chapters are being posted in the forum

 

Me too, lol

 

I don't think those were dwarves...if they fit in a pocket wouldn't they be pixies of some kind, brownies, leprechauns, or something?

 

They could at least be in spoiler blocks, as that was a lot to scroll through.

 

They are Korpokkur. I had a link explaining that and that Japanese butterbur is known as petasites, but since I just registered I cannot post links. Nor can I post links to the other place I been posting those (r/DeathMarch).
Nor I know now to do spoilers either. Sorry.
There had been 6 new chapters since Sousetsuka last updated this series (near 3 months ago). So I been translating them.

Figured it out

Spoiler: 18-23. Wizard and Tower

18-23. Wizard and Tower
[Just in case] The identity of the merchant Akindo is Satou.

"The master is the greatest wizard in the world! 』\
The day I first saw the master's magic, I praised him with excitement.
However, the teacher looks at me with a slightly embarrassed face.
"That's not the case, Thalberg"
"Is it different? Only my master knows a wizard, who can use such great magic. "
"The size of magic is a trivial matter."
With that said, the teacher stroked my head.
"It is known that each person can do it with their magical power."
"That's why you strengthen it with magic tools and magic circles, right? 』\
"Yeah. That is the limit of human beings. "
I couldn't think of the master as a human being, but I couldn't say that when I saw his eyes filled with his resignation.
"A true wizard is the one who built the tower and ruled the source."
The teacher said so and told me the story of the "Witch of the Illusion Forest" and the Lord of the "Tower of the Sages".
The story of true wizards who cause miracles like fairy tales with the enormous magical power drawn from the source.
◇
"Mr. Thalberg! Are you sleeping? A customer has come!"
The lively March voice awakened me from a light sleep.
It seems that I have had a nostalgic dream for the first time in a long time.
It was 20 years ago that I graduated from my teacher's private school.
Having served various lords and aristocrats, he is now exploring the territory of adjacent monsters in this village on the outskirts of the Marquis of Elouette, doing something like a pharmacist.
"Who have came?"
"Akindo-san! Pochi-chan and Tama-chan are coming! Windmill ・ ・ ・And play ~ "
--A big windmill?
I'm not sure about children toy now.
On the back of March, who started running, I told her not to get injured, and I prepared the minimum amount of clothes to meet Mr. Akindo.
If he isn't all right, he should be waiting for me to drink tea at the village mayor's house.
When I opened the squeaky door and left the Boro house, a dry sandy wind shook my hair.
"Is this season already?"
At the southwestern tip of the Marquis de Elouette, sand from the great desert flows over the mountains, depending on the wind direction.
While I was thinking about that, I could see the village mayor's house.
It's incomparably magnificent compared to the surrounding houses, but it's not due to the vanity of the village mayor because it doubles as a shelter.
"Hello Mr. Thalberg, I have collected the requested Charmant grass."
"I'll be saved, Mr. Akindo"
When I entered the drawing room of the village mayor's house, Mr. Akindo said something like that as greeting.
I don't like this season Epidemic . Charmant grass that works well, so it is in demand in every village. It can be collected in this area, but the amount collected by me and the villagers is not enough.
"It's as fresh as if just picked."
"Yes, it's the secret of my clan."
I'm wondering what kind of secrets can be used to maintain the freshness so far, but I can't just scrutinize the secret of Akindo's business, who would spare no effort to reach such a remote area.
"Mr. Thalberg, is this this year's epidemic okay?"
"Oh, the village mayor. It looks like no one will die this year."
I promised the village mayor as confirmation.
"Once you've just prepared the Charmant grass, collect the rest of the ingredients and mix them right away."
"Is material collection in the monsters area?"
"Yes, that's a place like my garden."
Answer Mr. Akindo who showed interest.
"May I accompany you?"
"That's okay, but even though I'm escorting, the monster territory is dangerous, right?"
There is no time to list all the dangerous creatures that look harmless.
"I still have some knowledge."
Mr. Akindo answers with confidence.
"Mr. Akindo is peddling to such a remote area without an escort."
"It is true……"
The village mayor supports Mr. Akindo's words.
Even though the roads are well maintained, there are threats of goblins and flying monsters that spring up everywhere.
Having traveled there, he can't be ignorant of fighting.
"Okay. It's not a very fun place, but let's guide you."
"Thank you, Mr. Thalberg"
That evening, a party was held at the village mayor's house to welcome Mr. Akindo's visit, and he spent a lively night with everyone in the village who have gathered.
It seems that the hunters did their best, and today various meat dishes are lined up for the first time in a while.
"Pochi did her best, nanodesu!"
"Tama too~?"
I saw Mr. Akindaw stroking the heads of the beastkin children.
These are the children he brings while he is a peddler. I think he's talking about playing with a big windmill.
"Mr. Thalberg should eat more."
"Thank you, March. I'm good, so eat with the kids."
"Is it okay? I did it! Everyone, Mr. Thalberg says we can eat!"
March with a tray of meat on it jumps into the circle of children of the village.
Children of that age should be able eat as much as they want.
"How about wine?"
"Itadakimasu"
Bring the wine brought by the village mayor to my mouth.
"It's a delicious wine."
"Akindo's souvenir"
What a mysterious person. If you give me such a souvenir, you won't make any money.
"Mr. Akindow, show me a magic trick! A magic trick!"
"Is it a magic trick?"
"It's okay because you showed me before!"
"Then, let's get rid of your eyes--"
Mr. Akindou will show you a magic trick using the card.
Early work as if you used space magic.
"--It looks like magic!"
As March said in a screaming voice, it didn't look like a magic trick with secrets or gimmicks
I didn't feel the magical power, so he shouldn't have used magic, but what kind of technique did he use? He is a really interesting person.
"Hey, can Mr. Thalberg do it?"
March presents me with a bunch of cards with a curious face.
"I can't do this much"
At best Thread of reason Magic string. It's about floating a card with the magic.
Still, March and other children were happy to see it.
"Mr. Thalberg also uses magic."
"Yes, I learned under my master."
-A magician, without knowing the reason of magic, the way to become a wizard cannot be revealed.
The teacher always said that.
My specialty is earth magic and alchemy, but thanks to my master Kaoru, I can use magic magic up to the intermediate level.
"Mr. Akindo, please have a taste of this sake."
"The other day, I learned from Mr. Akindo that he used dried fish."
Young girls in the village flock to Akindo.
Since he is single, his daughters must be aiming for the position of wife.
It's not good to disturb young people, so I'll talk with the village chiefs about the crops and enjoy the delicious sake.
"Teacher, is the tower going well?"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
The words of the hunter Gonza makes me scratch my head.
I don't know if I feel inferior, but his words seem a bit prickly.
"Can Mr. Thalberg build a tower?"
Akindo, who has run away from the village daughters asked.
Perhaps he has a favorite girl in his hometown, since he has a solid body.
"Yes, well--"
"If you like, we will undertake the arrangement of building materials."
Akindo said that it was wrong to misinterpret his words.
"It's a dream of the future."
"Mr. Akindo, the teacher will open up the realm of monsters and build a tower there."
"Gonza! That's rude to Mr. Thalberg!"
"Hey, I'm sorry, village mayor."
The village mayor listens to Gonza's slightly disrespectful tone as he tries to liven up the place.
"The realm of demons means that you will build the" Wizard's Tower "that controls the source."
--Akindo-san?
"... Do you know how?"
Mr. Akindo tilts his head to my question.
It's as if I told you something of course.
Where does his knowledge of magic that is not like a merchant come from?
I kept talking to Mr. Akindo about the "Wizard's Tower" until the feast was held.
◇
"Are the children going too?"
The next morning, I used medicine to clear my head, which was hurt by deep drinking after a long while. Epidemic I don't like it. When I was about to go out to get the materials needed for the medicine, Mr. Akindo appeared with the beastkin children.
"Pochi is a collection professional, nanodesu!"
"Tama is also useful ~?"
Children with mowing sickles and hatchets on their hips insist in unusual poses.
"These kids may look like this but are strong, so don't worry. They won't get in your way."
"If Mr. Akindo says so ..."
You don't have to rush to collect them, and if the children are in danger, you can come back.
We entered a mountain leading to the realm of demons before being found by the children of the village.
"Kyupin ~"
A cat child with bright eyes jumps from branch to branch, disappears somewhere, and comes back with a unchanged expression.
"Pochi's nose can't be deceived, nanodesu!"
A triumphant-faced dog cub kicked the bushes and disappeared into the woods, returning with a satisfied look.
What they both have in common is the screams of demons and the smell of blood.
"Maybe a monster approaching?"
"Yes, these kids are excellent."
When I asked Mr. Akindo in a strained voice, I got an answer that confirmed my thoughts.
The monsters around here aren't that strong, but they're still so dangerous that ordinary soldiers can't stand their teeth. If you have the skill to defeat one with the force of armor piercing attacks without any damage, it is considered that you have the power of an excellent knight captain rather than a full-fledged knight.
It seems that these children have the secret that Akindo can go to the frontier without escort.
"A lot of medicinal herbs ~?"
"It's a Gunse land, nanodesu!"
Upon arriving at the herb colony, the children jumped up and were delighted.
It is quite reliable to know that it is a medicinal herb at a glance.
"Collect only roots for high-grade grass and only small red-spotted mushrooms for Rimon mushrooms."
"Ai Ai sir ~?"
"It's a roger, nanodesu"
Most herbs have their uses, but if you're not careful with these two types, you'll ruin the other materials.
"It seems that all herbs are highly effective, probably because they are full of magical power."
"... Do you feel it?"
I couldn't hide my surprise from Mr. Akindo's plain words.
"Is it magical?"
"Yes"
Few people in the human race know it.
"It's like a special skill of our clan. When I'm traveling, I sometimes come across such places."
Mr. Akindou says, "It's a" spirit pool "or a" monster pool ", isn't it?"
Even among witches there should only be a few people, who can detect small source like this.
No wonder if Akindo knows about the "Wizard's Tower".
Yes, this is the source.
There are several similar sources in this area.
However, there is no point in building a tower with such a weak and small source.
At best, the recovery of magical power will be a little faster.
"--Mr. Thalberg"
Mr. Akindo calls me who was lost in thought.
"Shall we stop them now?"
"--e?"
Prompted by Mr. Akindo's gaze, when I looked at it, the two children were collecting more than enough herbs.
"Yes, that's enough."
When I say so, Mr. Akindo recalls them.
"Tama, useful ~?"
"I did my best with a lot of plants, nanodesu!"
"Both did great"
"Nihehe"
"Can you stroke my head more, nanodesu?"
The children who were stroked by Mr. Akindo squinted happily.
"Thank you, both of you. After collecting the tattered grass, it's over."
"Ai"
"Isn't it here, nanodesu?"
"The tattered grass is in a dark place."
A medicinal herb that grows in so-called monster pools-or rather a poisonous herb.
A silver bullet for epidemics requires only a small amount of this tattered grass.
"I can't go without going through a slightly dangerous place, so could you please come back first or wait here?"
"Is it a dangerous place?"
"Yes, in this area main. We'll need to cross the wandering parcels. "
"Is Mr. Thalberg all right?"
"It's okay"
-If you just run away.
Someday I want to defeat the Lord and get a source that he controls, but it's a mighty monster that I can't match right now.
A brave man or a legendary ancestor would be able to do it, but even with careful preparation, the burden required to win is too much for me.
"I'll be back in about an hour. If it doesn't come back after that, please report to the village mayor that there was something wrong with the forest."
"I understand. Please be safe."
I was sent off by Mr. Akindo and headed for my destination.
◇
"--Ku, ■ …… ■　 Earth wall Wall"
The clay wall I made is smashed by a yellow bullet.
In low-level magic that activates quickly, He ・ ・It seems that it cannot prevent the attack.
Throw a smoke screen ball in my pocket and run through with all my might.
--SZPAAAAAIDYR.
A jarring roar occurs beyond the white smoke, and the white smoke clears as if pushed by the sound.
It was a spider monster that appeared.
Dominate this territory Curse King Poison Spider - Ruin King Spider.
I'm also out of luck to encounter at the monster pool that I visited to collect.
I don't have appraisal skills, but legend has it that it's level 40 or level 50.
If you're a Mithril explorer who is told by the swords and rumors, you may be able to turn them back, but I can't.
All I can do is use a smoke ball to escape.
While moving so, I search for the pouch on my waist.
--Gone.
When I brought the pouch in front of me with an foreboding feeling, there was a hole in the bottom.
It's worm-eaten.
It seems that the smoke ball of the rope of reliance has fallen from the wormhole.
"... I'm cornered"
It is impossible to escape from him without a smoke ball.
No choice but face it whatever the odds.
"■ ……"
I bet on the possibility of living and start chanting without stopping.
I'm out of breath.
Cannot lose focus on the technique.
I stumbled upon the roots of the tree and desperately tried to do a tumbling technique.
A little after--.
--SZPAAAAAIDYR.
The roar of a monster that can be heard up close.
Please be in time.
Invoking phrase--.
-For aiming, the huge head of a monster that spreads out to fill the field of view.
The venom dripping from the fangs is like the saliva of a carnivorous beast in front of its prey.
Death cannot be escape anymore.
Then, at least use the magic by spending my life to wound this monster!
"- Green pillar stalagmites Toss beryl"
I chanted the invocation phrase with all my heart.
An emerald-colored crystal pillar extending from below the monster's chin impacts the monster's head.
--SZPBBBBBB.
The scream momentarily sprinkles body fluids, and the monster swings up its forelimbs with sharp claws.
And now--.
The roaring sound of swinging my forelimbs down in my ears, thinking and closing my eyes-stopped?
" Magic Blade Twin Fang Vanquish Fang~? "
At the same time as the out-of-place child's voice, I found small figure running up the monster while spinning like a top.
--A cat person?
Is that a kid called Tama?
"Now deadly-- Magic blade piercing Vorpal Lance nanodesu! "
A ray of red light pierced the monster's head.
Even my green pillar stalagmites only hit scratched the hard head.
When the light subsides, a dog-man's child holding a magic sword-probably the one called Pochi.
"Mr. Thalberg, are you injured?"
Looking back, Mr. Akindo was behind me.
"Akindo-san?"
Why is he here?
"Because the forest was a little noisy."
"Is that so……"
I thought he was overconfident and reckless, but I was discouraged when I saw the children unilaterally overrunning the Lord of the territory in front of me.
He was neither reckless nor anything.
"Thank you. Thanks to you, I got my life."
"It's useful and above all. Mr. Thalberg is a must-have person in that village."
Mr. Akindo watches over the battle without even trying to give aid.
"Success or failure, nanodesu?"
"It's an evil instant Zazan!"
Children pose for victory on the corpse.
"Pochi, demon core ~?"
"That's right, Alisa also said that the process of collecting once it was subdued!"
"The spider's demon core is in his head ~"
"Yes, nanodesu!"
After a while, they disappeared behind the head and returned with a huge demon core while becoming muddy with body fluids.
"Tarama"
"It's a magic core, nanodesu."
"Thank you, both of you"
Mr. Akindou used life magic to clean the two together with their demon core.
It's not the first time I've seen him use life magic, but he's quite good at it. With his skill, the lord and the great aristocrats are likely to pay a lot of money to employ him.
"Mr. Thalberg, please take it.
As I was staring at the beautiful demon core, Mr. Akindo offered it to me.
Did I look so greedy?
"I can't receive it. It's yours, these children and their master."
Well, it's true that I want it so much that I can get claw my own throat.
"It's an up-front investment. Now that the lord of the territory has been subdued, can Mr. Thalberg take control of the source and build a" Wizard's Tower "?"
I concur to Mr. Akindo's question.
That spider is not the type to flock.
Now the source should be a blank area.
"If you want to build a tower, you will definitely need this magic nucleus. Or have you already procured it?"
"No, it's not true-I see. Let's follow Akindo's generosity."
If he says upfront investment, I will accept it.
"Once you've built the tower, I will prepare whatever magic medicine Akindo needs."
"I'm not going to make that much demand. I just want to help Mr. Thalberg."
I shook hands firmly with Mr. Akindo and took over the demon core from him.
Even if it was set up so far, it was not easy to build a tower in the realm of monsters, and it took three years to build a tower.
In the meantime, the world has undergone a cataclysm, but I didn't know it long after it was all over.
I am Thalberg, the lord of the tower that controls the source, and one of the true wizards.
Now that we have gained infinite magical power that has passed by humans, as a guardian of the frontier, we threaten people with monsters. Epidemic I don't like it. I spend my days protecting from it.
"Teacher! It's a customer."
"Thank you, March"
From now on, we will welcome disciples and raise younger generations.
"Hello Thalberg"
"Welcome to Mr. Akindo"
To be proud of my friends.
* The next update is scheduled for the end of June.


* The book version "Death March to the Parallel World Fantasy" Volume 23 "Fortress City Arcatia Edition" will be released on 7/9!

 

Here are three more chapters.

Spoiler: 18-24. Shooting star(1)

* This story is a spillover story about Chapter 10 of the main story.

One meteor has slipped through.
Because it was daytime, few people noticed it, and because it fell into a remote undeveloped land, it was hardly mentioned and was soon forgotten.
On the day of this event, we were unlucky enough to go underground and didn't know it.
If I had witnessed it, could I have prevented that disaster ...?
◇
"Satou! We did it. "
That World Phone message arrived on the day I returned from the labyrinth after a long absence.
"I've wiped out the hundreds of jellyfish that have been aiming for the world tree with" Burugutomu Ai "! 』\
The sender is Mr. Kese, a high elf of the Brynan clan.
His creation, "Brugtom Ai" is an eye-catching pseudo-spirit developed by the Brynan clan that controls a super-range laser.
I also cooperated in the development, so I think he took the trouble to report the results of the battle.
"Congratulations on that"
"Um. This is also thanks to the scarecrow who discovered the approach of the jellyfish early. Thank you, Satou! 』\
Kakashi, a self-supporting golem, seems to have done his job properly.
Even so, today Kese is very excited.
It's like Sase from the rival Beliunan clan.
After that, while we were discussing future improvements to the jellyfish warning network with Mr. Kese, who was a little nervous, the communication was cut off.
"Is it over? It's not because of the tone, isn't it?"
"It's from Kese of the Brynan clan."
I told the curious Arisa and others about the story from Mr. Kese and returned to the mansion.
"--Shooting star?"
"Yes! Yesterday, it fell a lot in the northern sky!"
"Unlike the starry rain about half a year ago, it ended soon."
When I returned to the mansion, the little girl maid told me such a story.
While diving in the labyrinth, I'm very grateful because I'm ignorant of things on the ground.
"Arisa-chan! Nell's stalls are really popular!"
"It's a food stall, isn't it? I have a high confidence as an adviser."
"The new sweet, ant honey okonomiyaki is popular!"
"Well, then I'll treat you on your way home tomorrow."
"Really? I did it!"
A little maid jumps around Arisa and rejoices.
I can't imagine the taste of sweet okonomiyaki, but if you think of it as a hot cake or crepe, is it?
The information I got on this day was all mundane and soon buried in an exciting event in the labyrinth city of Serivilla.
It will be a while, before I am reminded of that day.
◇◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆◆
"Is the forest looking strange?"
"Well, there are many beasts that are only seen in the depths of the forest."
"Today I caught a green boar. I also caught a spotted deer, but I couldn't carry it, so I pickled it in a swamp. Please help this guy who wants to eat meat."
An incident occurred in a village on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Norrowk.
It's a trivial event to call it an incident, but when you think about it later, it was a harbinger of revelation.
"What is the prey today?"
"Oh, today we have a big horn and a six-legged boar. It's about time we have more prey that is difficult to hunt."
"Okaku sells well, and the six-legged boar is delicious. If there aren't enough people, I'll send some young people."
"That might be good too."
Meat that could not be eaten here and now in the village was processed into dried meat.
"What about green boar?"
"I hunted that too, Gofe. There is also a deer."
"Well, the spotted deer isn't very delicious."
"For those who are fussy, only tendon meat is available."
Until now, the meat that had been in demand was so hunting only selected parts and types is out of the question.
"What happened to Gofei? He usually run up when I come back from hunting."
"Don't he get tired of sloppy meat?"
"No, it's unusual. He is sleeping with a fever."
"Well, I don't have Gofee be in bad health. I have a fresh liver, so take it from me."
"It's always bad"
"It’s good."
Gofei was a meat lover who was supposed to be cured overnight, but contrary to the villagers' expectations, he would lie down for a long time.
"Dried meat seems to be too much"
"If so, go to the city to sale it."
"It's about time for the merchants to come. Let's make some money for the first time in a while."
"What?"
The processed meat slightly exceeded what was needed for the winter, and the extras were carried by hawkers to various parts of the kingdom, providing villagers with considerable extra income.
An increasing number of villagers have fallen asleep due to an out-of-season epidemic, but thanks to this extra income, they were able to buy medicine.
"Village chief! Two young people were killed."
"Report at once! What attacked you? Is it a big eagle? Or is it a monster?"
"No, it's a spotted deer."
"Spotted Elk? Did an unskilled young man block the escape route?"
"No. A flock of deer has attacked."
"—Really? That timid deer?"
"Oh, isn't it strange? I've never heard such since my grandfather time. Where is the village mayor?"
"I wouldn't know what your clan, who have been hunters for generations, doesn't know."
"Do you want to take a break from hunting for a while?"
"That's right. I have enough meat. I have enough salt to make dried meat."
"The problem is--"
"Oh, the beast may come down the mountain. For a while, I'll set a trap around the foot of the mountain."
"As you say"
Fortunately, there was no raid on the village by the mountain beasts that the village chief and hunters were wary of, but the beasts trapped were rampaging.
"Did Gofei die?"
"Oh, he seems to have spit blood and died."
"Isn't it the usual epidemic?"
"I don't know. I have money this year, so let's go hire a priest or pharmacist from the city."
"That's right."
They didn't know.
The disease has begun to spread little by little in neighboring villages.
◆◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇◇
One day when the end of the year is approaching.
Princess Metia of the Kingdom of Norrow was visiting the Pendragon family, who were preparing to move from the labyrinth city of Serivilla to the royal capital.
"--Consultation?"
Princess Metia nodded with a serious expression on her young face.
"Um, a disease of unknown cause is widespread in the land."
"What kind of disease is it? Do you know the name of the disease?"
"I don't know. I sent a high-ranking priest, who have mastered medical techniques with the introduction of Mrs. Taishou, but he said he didn't even know the cause or even the name of the disease."
"Does the person with appraisal skills have the same answer?"
"Um, the assistant of the high priesthood had a high level of appraisal skills."

If the number of sick people is small, a panacea or a low-grade elixir can solve the problem, but if it is widespread throughout the country, it will be difficult.
"Symptomatology?"
"What kind of symptoms do patients have?"
Mia and Arisa, who were present to prevent cheating, ask Princess Metia.
"There are many things, but what they have in common is fever and hematoma. Details are written here."
Princess Metia's old maid hand me the documents.
It is a long-lasting fever, and if the symptoms worsen and blood is vomited, it seems that 100% surely the patient will die within the day.
Many people complained of rash, increased agression, and drowsiness, and some complained of itching before developing internal bleeding.
"Did they eat something strange?"
"I don't know. It's not written on the documents, and since it was a good harvest last year, they shouldn't have to force themselves to consume something they're not used to eating."
"What happened?"
"The soldier who delivered the letter and documents said that the beast of the forest became more ferocious than usual. A mighty monster may have moved from the monster realm."
Princess Metia answers Arisa and Mia's questions.
I didn't expect the answer to be so detailed.
Princess Metia is a royal family, even if she looks young.
"I understand the situation."
We finished the interview and return to the residence.
Princess Metia looks at me with serious eyes.
"I'm not a disease expert and I can't put my friends at risk of infection."
"……Right"
Arisa and Mia said something, but I gloss over it with a wink.
"But an expert I know may have a clue. I think we can send him to the Kingdom of Norrow in the near future."
"Is it true ?!"
Well, the expert is myself in disguise.
I'm resistant to illness and the risk of infection is low, and the AR display on the menu is likely to reveal the type of illness.
Even if I can't identify the illness, I can ask the elves and gnomes who have a lot of expertise for help.
"Yes, I'll get in touch with you soon. I'll send a person named Hippocrates, so I'd appreciate it if you could write to give him a national license."
"Okay! I'll send it by carrier pigeon today!"
When Princess Metia said so, she forgot to say goodbye and rushed out of the room. The old maid apologized for disrespect on behalf of Princess Metia, saying, "Oh. Princess...” And chased after her while calling out.
"I was so happy for Metia."
"Hmm"
As Arisa and Mia had such a conversation, Princess Metia came out of the door again with a loud footsteps.
"Satou! Thank you for your help!"
Before I could respond with a smile, she disappears back into the corridor again.
It seems that she ran back, remembering on the way that she didn't thank me.
"Will we go too?"
"Hmm, I hope to accompany you"
"Do not do it"
Don't take it to a place where an unknown illness is widespread.
"Because I could get sick? That applies to darling as well."
"Not the same. I have disease resistance."
"Then I too--"
"Wait, Arisa"
I control Arisa, who is trying to gain momentum, by hand.
"First, I will go to the site and investigate."
"That's why it doesn't work! My darling's resistance isn't perfect, because the tree of disease resistance skills is not all inclusive."
That is my first time hearing that.
"I can bypass that. I used it in the void. Windshield Canopy With the magic of Survival. I'm going to use my skills together to maintain a sterile space. "
"contact"
"Yeah! Disinfection of hands was important to prevent flu! It's not always safe to be in a sterile space!"
Mia and Arisa are quite tough.
"Then, I'll put on the special clothes that the elves wore. If that's the case, it's for work in outer space, and there's no possibility of leak, right?"
The light void clothes worn by the golem pilots for the void wouldn't get in the way of their work.
"in that case--"
"Curse"
"--A curse?"
An unexpected word popped out from Mia.
"Maybe the cause of the illness is a curse?"
"Hmm, curse, curse illness ... and many more."
Mia explained by adding words.
I see, even if you use modern knowledge to prevent epidemics, can you prevent that?
"I'll put the purification magic circle and runes used for the monument on the back of the void clothes. Then, isn't it safe?"
"……Hmm"
Mia is still worried, but she seems to be convinced.
"Arisa is okay with that too?"
"Yeah, that's right. If that's all-wait a minute."
Arisa was almost convinced, but she waited with a face that seemed to notice something.
"With that much equipment, we can accompany you too!"
"--Ah"
Oops.
If you look at that, it certainly is.
"Yeah! Well then, my darling! Thank you for procuring equipment!"
I loss to Arisa, but if they have that much equipment, I can take them with me.
I am the space magic " Far story telephone. I contacted the Boluenan Forest and asked them to procure void clothes for the number of people.
Surprisingly, it was in stock, so I was able to make a modification to incorporate the anti-curse magic circle within the day.
Well, it seems that we will arrive earlier than Princess Metia's letter, but we are is in a hurry, and let's head for the Kingdom of Norrowk at once.

* The next update is scheduled for around 12:00 on 7/9 (Friday).
* The novel version "Death March to the Parallel World Fantasy" Volume 23 "Fortress City Arcatia" will be released on July 9th.
The comicalized version of Desma Volume 12 "Dwarf Village" will also be released on the same day, so please take a look.

Spoiler: 18-25. Shooting star(2)

* Needless to say, this work is fiction.
It has nothing to do with any real person, group or infectious disease.
The temporary hospital in the Kingdom of Norrowk looked like a battlefield.
"--Sensei! Mr. Gleb of Ishiya vomited blood."
"Damn, no medicine for miasma addiction"
Two remote villages have already been destroyed by a strange illness, and the city of Noromos has died of unprecedented illness.
"Influenza, forest fever, miasma poisoning, goblin disease, monkey fissure disease ... a strange disease that is similar to any disease but different from any disease. What kind of medicine should be used to cure it!"
The doctor countered the feeling of helplessness and impatience that shook his heart by hitting the desk in the waiting room.
The initial symptom is like forest fever, which is common in the Kingdom of Norrowk. So at first, it was thought to be forest fever or a disease derived from forest fever because it resembled that.
"Yes, Mr. Cooper! Is Mr. Cooper okay? That patient should be at the limit."
"He is in a lull. His symptoms haven't improved, but they haven't worsened."
(... What do you mean? Even though the rare miasma drug didn't work, did the nurse mistakenly administer the anthelmintic drug to him?)
The report that the assistant gave deepened the wrinkles between the doctor's eyebrows.
(... No, there can't be such a stupid mistake. It's better to think that the improved version of the forest fever drug that was given before the parasite-removing drug worked.)
"Use the improved version of the forest fever drug should be given to young people who are likely to be physically fit."
"The medicine is only enough for five people ..."
"I leave the selection to you"
"All right ..."
The weak knee assistant stood up with a deep blue face.
(Do you want to take responsibility for weighing their life ...)
"Change the instructions. Use the improved drug in order from those closest to adult age."
"OK, I'll start treatment right away."
"And increase the production of improved medicines!"
"Okay!"
The assistant jumps out of the waiting room.
"Is it okay, director?"
It was the priest of the Heralon Temple who came to cheer from the adjacent Saga empire to replace his assistant.
"Priest! So how was the sacred magic?"
"Calm down, director"
He controls the doctor who is just jumping with one hand.
"Let's start with the conclusion. Patients who used advanced healing magic were completely cured."
"Really!"
The good news after a long time is that a bright color appears on the face of the doctor who was exhasted due to hard work.
"But I can only do advanced healing magic three times a day."
"--Chu, and at the intermediate level?"
"Temporarily their symptoms got better, but that's it."
"That ..."
Of course, there are many priests and priests in this city of Noromos.
However, no priest was virtuous enough to use advanced sacred magic.
To be exact, there was only one person, but when the strange disease was thought to be forest fever, he became ill and died without a chance.
"Three people a day its like awater on the burning stone, but it's better than doing nothing."
"Thank you, priest"
"No need for gratitude. Ask for a remedy as soon as possible."
"I understand."
"Collect as much magic recovery medicine as you can, and with it you can increase the survival to several people a day."
"But then, the priest's health--"
"I don't mind. Anyway, I'm old and short. It's God's will to use it for young people in the future."
The doctor bowed deeply to the back of the priest leaving the waiting room.
It was common knowledge among doctors that overdose of magical drugs was not a little harmful to health.
It also shortens the life of an old priest.
A noisy assistant rushed into the quiet waiting room.
"Teacher! This is a report from the medical office of the royal capital!"
"—Give it to me!"
The doctor quickly reads the report.
"There are no new information"
"It's not a big deal for a great man who came from the kingdom of Shiga."
"Don't say that. According to a friend in the royal capital, the ministers and aristocrats will be locked in and will not go to the scene."
"Maybe there is a strange disease in the royal capital?"

The doctor nods to the question of the assistant.
Many people from this town of Noromos headed to the royal capital to escape the epidemic of strange diseases.
"The same is true for high-ranking priests, who can use the greater sacred magic in the royal capital. It would be helpful if at least the panacea provided by the Kingdom of Shiga could be sent here ..."
The doctor slumps his shoulders and grumbles.
The heavy air was interrupted by the sound of something crushing.
"--Please stop! This is a treatment center!"
"What?"
"Now is the voice of Nurse Chulu!"
An unusual noise is heard from the hall of the temporary hospital.
"I'll go see anyway"
"Please wait"
The assistant stops the doctor who tried to jump out.
"Maybe a forest thermal fundamentalist."
"What is that?"
The doctor looks at the assistant with a mysterious face.
"There is no strange disease. Patients are affected by a group that says it's just forest fever."
"If you have a forest fever, there can be no patient who will die of hematosis!"
"I know. They believe that. Patients die because they're using old, expired remedies. We, the people in the clinic, are doing it to profit. That's what incites the people in the city. "
"It's an annoying group"
"Dangerous guys. Please stay here. I went to the guard station--"
In the middle of the assistant's words, the door of the waiting room was kicked and a thug in bloody clothes jumped in.
Before the bizarre illness, the same humans seem to stand in the way.
◆◆ ◇ ◆ ◇◇
"--Hippocrates?"
Upon arriving in the Kingdom of Norrow, we disguised ourselves and headed for the royal castle to contact the people involved.
Of course, I wore a specially made void clothes.
I don't think it's as eccentric as a plague mask, but a helmet that looks like an upside down fishbowl greeted those who looked.
You can cheat by wearing a robe or cloak on top, but you couldn't wear a helmet.
"Umu, I received a request from His Royal Highness Metia. This is a letter of request."
We were more likely to arrive earlier than the letter from Princess Metia, so we got it before we left.
"Pesticide expert? That dubious-is the strange clothes for that?"
"Well, it looks weird, but forgive me. In my school, I'm supposed to wear this outfit for investigation."
The minister-like person replied, "Yes," as if he was under pressure, and ordered one of his chamberlains to guide me to the building where the plague patients were.
It was written on the minister's face that I was "untrustworthy" and "this is a scam artist", so I thought I would be treated roughly, but he seemed to give top priority to dealing with it because there was the most important thing in the country.
"Are you going out of the royal capital?"
"Well, I'm going to the city of Noromos. Patients are gathered in the suburbs there."
"You're be isolated"
"I can't put any more plague into the royal capital."
As far as I searched the map, there are many people in the royal capital who are displayed as "strange disease" in the status column.
It's best to quarantine, but if I try to quarantine for no reason, I'll just be refused.
I wish I had made some kind of detector-like magic tool.
When I was thinking about that, I heard a strange voice from outside the carriage.
"The strange illness is a lie!"
"Don't be fooled by the conspiracy of a treatment center that pretends to be a strange disease!"
Looking out the window, people of various classes gather to do something like a demonstration.
It seems that some are older and some are younger adults.
"Please don't worry"
"--That is?"
"The strange illness conspiracy theories. Forest fever is common in this region. However, the initial symptoms are similar to strange diseases. "
They are so afraid of strange diseases that they say that it is not a strange disease but a mere forest fever, and claim that the death toll is due to the use of expired medicine by the treatment clinic that has put to it by aristocrats.
"Is it true?"
"It's a lie. Generally, those who took the medicine and those who didn't take it are dead alike. Their claim is full of holes."
"Hmm, there really are people who act like movies of panic and pandemic things."
Arisa makes a strange impression.
"--This is bad"
It seems that people other than the previous group are acting violently at the temporary hospital that we are going to visit.
"What's wrong?"
"It's a mob. Straight ahead--"
I left it at that and jumped out of the carriage.
The vanguard team follows me with Liza at the lead.
After leaving the carriage behind, we arrive at a place like a refugee camp and jump into what appears to be a temporary hospital on the outskirts of it.
It was surrounded by mob-like people.
"What? Glass head?"
A man with a weapon points his sword at me.
I'm used “Magic hand” to throw the man away and knock down the idiot who was trying to set the hospital building on fire.
"Liza! I leave the mob outside to you!"
"Aknowledged! Tama, Pochi, follow me. Nana secures the entrance."
"Ai Ai sir ~"
"Rodja, nanodesu! Pochi is a professional villain extermination, nanodesu!"
"Liza-dono. No one will pass here, so I declare."
The beast girls attack the mob with overwhelming force, and Nana stops the mob trying to chase me with the defense of the iron wall.
I knocked down the mobs in the hospital and jumped into a room that looks like the drug vault and medical office.
Beyond the mob are doctors, priests, and some staff guarded by sacred magical barriers.
The doctor and priest are bloody, but they still seem to be alive.
"Help-a monster ?!"
I was called a monster by a rescuer, but I may have no choice but to wear this outfit.
The mobs also stop trying to break the barrier and watch out for me.
"What are you!"
"People who are not suitable for the hospital will be expelled."
I didn't want to ask the questions of the mob, so I order them to leave while coming from a window.
Of course, everyone attacked me, but they didn't have any particular skills, so it ended soon.
"I'm Hippocrates. I'm a doctor who is visiting at the request of King Norrowk."
I tell the dismayed doctor and priest.
"I was saved!"
"I thought I was going to die."
The staff are happy to hug each other.
"Thank you for your help"
"Help sensei! We need to treat his injuries"
"It looks like the wound is deep. Use this magic drug."
I give him some health recovery medicine and ask him how he was attacked by the mob.
Apparently, the radical faction of the demonstrators just attacked.
"Mast...-Hippocrates"
Liza came out from the window to report that the mob was routed.
"The mobs outside have been subdued. All have been captured and tied."
"Well done. Post a lookout until the carriage arrives."
After all, Liza and others are reliable.
◇
The mob was isolated into the large hole made by the magic "Pit" by the time the carriage carrying the chamberlains and Arisa finally arrived.
We asked the people who came to see the situation from the refugee camp outside the temporary hospital to call the guards to the city of Noromos.
According to doctors, refugee camps are filled by people who have fled the plague from remote villages and towns.
"Wow, it's look like the accident of Nightingale, but it's not." (TR: the fairy tale, may be.)
As soon as he got off the carriage, Arisa sighed loudly.
Is it an story of Nightingale, or an story of a battlefield hospital before she arrived?
Oops, that's not the point to worry about.
If you look at it calmly, the windows of the hospital room are closed, and the all dirt floor, bedding, and bodies are piled up outdoors and burned.
As expected, it is not hygienic here, and it is not very good for mental health.
I would like you to think about the feelings of the patient, who can be seen burning the body through the gap in the hospital room.
"It's not good as it is. ■ ……"
While imitating the chanting in a whisper, I used the earth magic " Earth wall Wall. I made a screen between the crematorium and the building.
Continue by providing ventilation.
"Mia summons Sylph and asks for ventilation inside the building."
"Hmm, leave it to me. ■ ……"
Next is cleanliness.
"Ask Liza and Nana to change clothes and bedding."
I remove a large amount of bedding and cloth from storage via the item box.
"I understand."
"Accept the order, so I declare."
"Help ~?"
"Rodger, nanodesu!"
I leave the patient to the beastkin girls and Nana.
The last is nutrition.
"Lulu, work with the people here to prepare ease to digest food."
"Yes, I understand"
"Do you also make an oral rehydration solution?"
"Do need to you ask?"
"Let me do it!"
I then handed Arisa a handmade mask and antiseptic solution to tell the local medical staff-or rather, the patient's family and the subordinates dispatched from the temple to teach the basics of epidemic prevention.
"Doctor, where are the seriously ill?"
"That is all. Only those who are on the verge of spitting blood come here."
"I'll see the patient, is that okay?"
"Maybe .-- this. I didn't write much, but it's a record of treatment here."
"It will help"
While reading the medical examination book I received from the doctor, I head to the boy with the least physical strength.
"Jaji! Open your eyes! You'll give your baby goat a name!"
A woman who seems to be a mother desperately calls the boy's name.
The boy seems to be already in a coma.
"I come to do treatment"
Since it was a situation of competing for time, " Magic hand" is used to pull the woman away from the boy and pours a lower elixir into the boy's mouth.
I assisted with "Magic Hand" so that it would not accidentally enter the airway.
A shining blue magic circle emerges from the boy's chest and heals his body rapidly.
While watching, the pale boy's complexion regained a healthy redness.
The boy slowly opens his eyes.
"--It's a miracle."
The doctor muttered stunned.
"Jaji, do you understand me?"
"... Mom?"
"Jaji! Merciful god! Thank you, sensei!"
"He haven't recovered yet. Let him lie down a little longer."
Elixir, an all-purpose elixir, seems to work for unidentified strange diseases, albeit at a lower level.
"Mr. Hippocrates! What kind of medicine is this? If you have this--"
"It's a low-ranking elixir"
"Elixir? The legend that the elf makes? Then the number ..."
I shake my head to the doctor's question.
There aren't many lower elixirs left.
Someone pushed the doctor away and was cursed by the patient's family who were caring for the boy.
"Teacher, please give me my child too."
"My husband too!"
"My wife too!"
"I will decide the order. Don't get in the way and take care of your family."
Next, let's use a panacea.
"He is healed!"
"Thank you sensei!"
A person with appraisal skills shouts, and the patient's family also reveals joy.
The panacea healed both severely ill and those who had just been brought in without any problems.
"Mr. Hippocrates, the bottle was different, what is it now?"
"It's a panacea"
"Such a rare thing!"
"Although this does not mean that there is difference in number--"
The doctor's facial expression becomes dark in the middle of the words.
"Don't get me wrong. There is enough to reach the patients in this hospital."
The doctor smiled and the priest sat down with a relieved face in a nearby chair.
He must have worked devotedly in the absence of effective medicine. The priest is overdosed with magical medicine. It seems that he was overextending himself even though he was old. Thank you for your hard work. I want you to take a rest.
――However, at this rate, the panacea will soon run out.
The number of patients in this country is much higher.
"If you came one day earlier, my child would have been saved ..."
"I am sorry"
While comforting the bereaved family who can't help but have a grudge, a dying patient who was competing kept barely alive thanks to the doctor's efforts was given the last of the panacea.
"This should give me time. Next is..."
Investigate the cause of the strange disease.
* The next update is scheduled for around 12:00 on 7/9 (Friday).

Spoiler: 18-26. Shooting star (3)

This is Satou. I don't hate pandemic-based fiction, but like many suspense movies, I don't want to experience it for real. Peace is the best in real life, isn't it?
◇
We head to the place where the unburned body is.
"Let me examine the body"
"No, no. My grandson should not be touch by anyone."
"Let him sleep peacefully"
Unfortunately, the corpse was not provided.
The soldier in charge of the cremation asked me if I could force them to provide it, but I'll be sorry to do that, so I'll be patient until I get consent.
--That's it.
I use the magic " Clairvoyance” to thoroughly examine the inside of the corpse.
White thread?
Innumerable white threads like hyphae grow densely in the internal organs. (TR: plural for the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus )
What is this?
This seems to be the cause of the patient's death.
I'd like to take a sample somehow.
Try searching the map again for a strange disease.
"-It was"
I leave the crematorium and run into the nearby forest.
There is a deer whose internal organs have been infected.
A bear that had its meal disturbed roared and attacked, so I used its momentum to throw it over into the forest.
The bear, who shook his head and stood up, was still about to head, so I slammed him with my intimidating skill to drive him away.
For the time being, let's put a marker on that bear as well.
"Well--"
Take the leftover intestine and cut it with a knife to check the cross section.
The same white hyphae that I had confirmed by magic earlier were growing densely there.
The disease also seems to be transmitted by wild beasts.
I stare at the hyphae and read the explanation displayed in AR.
"...'A strange mycelium?'"
Hatena of an unknown name!
I was wondering if the exact name of the disease could be known from the hyphae, but ... Thinking so far, I had an unpleasant expectation.
"No way, is it a new species that has never had a similar disease ?!"
I go around the forest, collect mycelial samples in test tubes, and store them in storage. Blood is also collected just in case.
I didn't think that mycelia were growing in the blood vessels.
"Maybe it was because it ate this meat. Isn't it?"
If you dismantle and the internal organs look like this, you wouldn't want to eat it unless you're very hungry.
"--What is the cause of the problem?"
There must be spores or something that propagate this mycelium.
However, it seems that expert knowledge is required to conduct further investigations.
I consulted with Mr. Aze in the space magic "world telephone".
"--A disease in which hyphae grow in the body? 』\
"Yes, can you introduce me to someone who is widespread in your acquaintances country and can discuss treatment methods? 』\
"Then, Brynan's Muse is the most qualified."
"I understand. Thank you"
I don't have any acquaintance with Mr. Muse, so I asked Mr. Kese, who is always talking about research, to take a break, and then I asked Dryad to open the "Fairy Road" and delivered the sample.
◇
"Isn't it a mycelium I've never seen?"
Muse, who wears a protective suit that seems to be in a biotechnology laboratory, picks up a sample of mycelium with tweezers.
It was planted into the open backs of experimental maggots.
"--This is"
The hyphae proliferated in a blink of an eye, and the maggots spit out body fluids and died.
It was soon found that it was the same in other experimental animals, and that it was a parasitic organism that proliferated, while stealing nutrients, especially in internal organs and blood vessels.
"Can you make a remedy?"
"First, let's try the existing medicines in order. During the experiment, I found that they were vulnerable to fire, but I couldn't use that inside living things."
There was a clicking sound, and Mr. Kese was waving behind the transparent wall.
"It's already noon. Let's eat curry together "
"I again forget to eat--"
Eat the orthodox curry from Borenan that Mr. Kese brought with Mr. Muse, who smiles bitterly.
It comes with a salad and is nutritious.
There are many vegetables I have never seen, but they are crispy and really delicious.
"Muse, I have prepared a sample of the remedy."
"It's hard work. I'll carry it in, so leave it there."
About 50 kinds of remedies are lined up on the cart pushed by the elf who seems to be a researcher.
With just this, there seems to be one thing that works.
"Let's go, Satou"
"I wish I could drink tea as slowly as after a meal."
I thank Mr. Kese for the curry and follow Mr. Muse.
"--Wow"
As soon as we got inside, mycelia grew all at once from the body placed on the petri dish and attacked.
- Guard shelter..
I protected Muse against all with the lower magic "Area Protection".
"Satou, the magic is melting!"
"--Gee"
There is an eroded dent on the surface of the barrier that the tip of the hyphae touches.
-Is it magical neutralization?
I create a "free sword" on the outside of the barrier and cut the hyphae into small pieces. At the end, I collected them with "Magic Hands" and put them together, and incinerated them all at once with the spirit magic of Mr. Musé.
"Are you okay, Muse! What happened? !! 』\
Mr. Kese is hitting a transparent wall from the outside.
"It is safe. Mycelium seems to like curry."
Mr. Muse is joking, but as far as I can see the sudden change, I don't think he's wrong.
Subsequent experiments were conducted after the curry odor was completely deodorized outside.
"--Is there any more medicine?"
Muse says with a bitter face.
"What is the remedy?"
Maybe athlete's foot medicine?
"It's not a remedy. It's a magical drug to neutralize the contaminated sap of the world tree."
"Speaking of contaminated sap--"
" Evil Jelly body fluid that protects the laid eggs. "
An unexpected word popped out of Mr. Musée's mouth.
In the Kingdom of Norrowk, which has nothing to do with the void, why is a thing similar to the body fluid of a jellyfish?
"I don't know the reason, but in this case, there is enough storage in the underground warehouse, so take as much as you need. It's easy to mass-produce. If there is not enough, we will increase production."
"Is it okay to prescribe it to humans?"
"No problem"
Mr. Musé confidently guaranteed.
"It's a medicine to prescribe to the world tree. I've experimented with forest plants and animals in advance. Theoretically it is for Evil Jelly. Other than that, there is no effect. If you pay attention to the concentration, you should be able to use it without problems. "
I receive the prescription data sheet and read through it.
Evil Jellyy It seems to be a special magic drug that selectively destroys only the factors of that. This certainly doesn't seem to be a problem.
Just in case, let's recruit applicants and conduct clinical trials before prescribing.
"Master! The person who should have healed has begun to suffer! 』\
From Arisa World Phone I got an urgent news.
◇
"That patient?!"
I received the magical medicine from Mr. Muse in a barrel, and returned to the Kingdom of Norrow after repeating the return transfer.
"Here!"
Led by Arisa, she heads for the patient.
According to the AR display, the "strange disease" has recurred. When I searched the map for "strange hyphae", it was re-breeding in the patient's body as expected.
"Everyone except the first patient has more or less recurrent symptoms."
The first one is the boy who prescribed the lower elixir.
"Sensei, haven't we been cured?"
"Lady, leave this to the sensei"
Lulu separated the patient's family from each other and created a space in front of the patient.
If you take the remaining panacea, the patient's "strange disease" will be cured.
A map search of a patient healed with a panacea using a strange mycelium revealed that a small amount remained in the body.
Probably, the strange disease recurred from this state just before.
"Sensei, isn't our person healed?"
"I have only temporarily suppressing his symptoms. I need this medicine to treat it, but the trial isn't over yet."
"Sensei, use it"
That was the patient who had just regained consciousness after taking the panacea.
"This isn't a clinical trial. It's definitely not safe."
"I don't mind. It's a life that's already over. If possible I want to save my son who is sleeping in that bed, I'll give you my life."
"Dear!"
The wife clings to the patient, who said something wholesome.
"Mast..-Mr. Hippocrates, let's respond to this person's manly spirit."
Arisa pushed me on my back when I was wondering if I should really administer it.
"Is it really alright?"
"Do it. Anyway, I'm have poor chance at this rate, right?"
"--That's right."
It's only a matter of time before the panacea runs out.
Even though it is an elf, it takes time to produce a panacea, and it is not something that can be made infinitely.
"I will administer it. If rejection occurs, please rest assured that I will help you properly."
You can use one of the remaining low-ranking elixirs to help the brave man.
"I trust you, sensei"
The man received the magical medicine from me hesitation. “Chug” he drank it immediately.
"Somehow I feel hungry--"
A man who was talking about fluent things suddenly choked his words and had an expression of agony.
"--Uga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga ga"
"Ah, you ah ah ah!"
While taking out the lower elixir from the storage, I use magical " Clairvoyance so I confirmed the inside of the body.
"--Master"
"It's okay. The hyphae are just resisting."
The mycelium breaks through the body and tries to escape from the magic drug, but it collapses from the escape end and becomes harmless.
I cast recovery magic on the man and forcibly pour in the anesthetic.
Support with “Magic hands" to prevent accidental ingestion. Clairvoyance and good magic are convenient.
"The pain is gone--"
Perhaps the anesthesia worked, the man fell asleep.
It took about 30 minutes to completely remove it, but it seems that it was completely cured.
From now on, when I give the magical medicine for extermination, let's continue to combine it with the anesthetic and the health recovery medicine.
If possible, I would like to follow up and then administer it to other patients, but much is at stake.
Many patients are likely to fall into a coma while I am doing this.
"Next--"
It was difficult to decide the next subject, probably because they were listening to the cry of the man, but thanks to the fact that a naive man of the Gaten, it was proven that he could be cured painlessly, and then the treatment proceeded smoothly. I was able to do it.
Treatment is carried out day and night to heal patients, who hear rumors and came one after another.
At the same time, I asked the guards in the city of Noromos to spread the word about not ingesting meat that was suspected to be pathogenic.
◇
When the new patient settled down, a messenger finally arrived from the royal capital.
"Dr. Hippocrates, your Majesty has acknowledged your achievements and said that you will be appointed as the Deputy Medical Officer of the royal family."
"I humbly decline."
I don't need such a troublesome position.
"How rude to refuse his Majesty's kindness!"
The aristocratic messenger was in a rage, but there are times when he has priorities over that.
"Here's the treatment procedure. Gather doctors and priests and prescribe them systematically. And because you don't have enough anesthetics, get ready by mobilizing all the alchemists and pharmacists in the kingdom."
I pass him by and talk to a talented person, who seems to be an office worker.
I sent prescriptions and remedies to the royal capital, but I'm not good at it.
"But--"
"Only you can help the people. Now is the time to be a hero."
Arisa pops in and whispers to the attendant.
"Okay. I will appeal directly to His Majesty and start working immediately."
"What are you saying--"
The attendant received the documents from me with a motivated face and forcibly persuaded the messenger to return to the royal capital.
"Maybe--"
Arisa put her index finger on her lips and winks with bad expression.
Perhaps Arisa used her mental magic to change his mind.
"What do you do after this?"
"I'll leave it to the doctor to chase the pathogen."
I left the rest to the doctor and set out with my friends.
The guides are the man and his son who first used the jellyfish remover.
"Since about half a month ago, beasts have begun to come down the mountain."
A meat-loving boy named Gofe says.
He and the people of his village are survivors among the earliest patients.
Perhaps he was eating an individual with weak hyphal power to acquire antibodies.
We are heading to their village.
Even in the map search, there is a place where mycelia are densely gathered in the mountains about two places away from the village.
Perhaps it is parasitic on mountain beasts and plants and is proliferating.
"Is this your village?"
"Yes. Now we all went to the city of Noromos and there is no one in the village."
After asking Gofei's father about the distribution of mountain beasts and where the incident happened, he took a break in the village.
"Wait here. I'll see the forest a little."
"Then I'll guide you. It's still a hunter's edge. It's useful."
"No, it's unnecessary"
"That's right. From here on, we are--"
It's bad for Liza who is enthusiastic, but it's really dangerous from here onward, so I'll go alone.
" With Flying shoes I just go to check from the sky. I ask you guys to be their escort. "
"I understand."
Liza suppresed her regret and agreed.
I was wearing flying shoes and soared into the sky with a heavenly drive.
"Escort"
"Leave the sniping to me"
"Disinfect filth!"
From behind, Mia, Lulu, and Arisa, who were held by Sylph, caught up.
"Wow! What the hell!"
"Muu, perfect"
"The mountain is all white, isn't it?"
Arisa was surprised, Mia frowned, and Lulu briefly represented the scene in front of her.
Mycelia proliferate in the valleys in the mountains and dye the mountains white.
"Slope"
"After being scooped out by something. Did the meteorite fall?"
"There is a big depression on the extension of the slope line."
"It looks like a crater. Did the meteorite really fall?"
--Satou! We did it.
The words of Mr. Kese, a high elf, flashed back in my mind.
When did they wipe out the hundreds of jellyfish that had been targeting the World Tree with the Void-only pseudo-spirit Burgtom Eye?
Why is the magic drug for removing jellyfish contaminated liquid effective for removing hyphae?
"Kurage?"
" For real really Right. The mycelial dome in the middle of the crater looks like a jellyfish. "
Arisa points to the crater.
Certainly jellyfish-to be exact, It's similar to the Evil Jelly that parasitized on the world tree.
"Sukasuka" (TR: reference to What Do You Do at the End of the World? Are You Busy? Will You Save Us? )
"If you ask me, it's empty. Is it just the outside?"
Through the gaps in the jellyfish dome, I saw a black mass that looked like carbonized.
According to the AR display, it seems to be a thing called Makai Tsukimei Nucleus. From the name, jellyfish-- Evil Jelly. Probably is its origin.
"Doesn't it look like it's playing?"
A large number of animal bones are rolling around the jellyfish-like area.
This is just an imagination-he may have been feeding wild animals and parasitizing them, multiplying the animal's bodies into the nursery and regenerating the body lost in the atmospheric entry.
"What are you going to do, master?"
"I'll burn it"
"If you don't burn it it cleanly, it will spread."
"It's okay"
I take out a secret weapon from the storage.
"Smell of curry?"
"Yes"
Their sense of smell seems to be sharp, and hyphae have already gathered under our feet. It's amazingly fast.
I manipulate the wind magic to let the scent of curry drift in the surrounding mountains.
"Wow, they've gathered"
"Strange"
"Does that white one like curry?"
I'm also feel its is strange.
"beast"
"I'm pretty good"
Wild animals run from the outside of the white area.
They are also victims. It's hard to burn them off with jellyfish.
I use my throwing skills and a simple sling made of cloth to throw a decontamination drug and save the animals from strange diseases. Dying individuals were given inflated magical agents in a similar manner.
"Sylph, rise"
""Master!""
Arisa and Lulu grabbed her arm and Sylph lifted her to a higher altitude.
Looking down, mycelia gathered and became like tentacles, trying to catch me.
Lulu uses a magic gun to check the hyphae, and Arisa uses fire magic to wipe them off.
"Don't let your guard down anymore."
"Sorry Sorry"
I apologize to Arisa and contact Liza in advance.
"Liza, I'm going to burn the pathogen from now on. You can see the flames over the mountain, but don't worry because there is no danger. "
"I understand. Good luck
After confirming that enough hyphae have gathered, using the intermediate attack magic " Flame storm “ I burned down the whole mountain.
"Uhhhh, it's more firepower than the guild chief Inferno ~"
"Hmm, evil"
"My darling is amazing!"
The hot air is so great that I may get burned, so I use wind magic to prevent it.
I searched the map for the missing items and burned them carefully with small fire bullets systematically.
Perhaps because of that, I was able to eradicate the hyphae that cause the strange disease from the Kingdom of Norrow on that day.
The report to the city is left to the man and child Gofei, and we secretly heal the affected people who remain in the royal capital and satellite cities, and then collect contaminated food-mainly dried meat-and have a strange disease. I was able to end the turmoil.
At the last temporary hospital I stopped by, doctors and priests cried and thanked me, and the patients and their families who we helped treated me like a savior.
The festive feast was a celebratory ruckus involving the city as the leader of the city of Noromos opened a grocery store and celebrated it grandly.
"Bimi Bimi"
"There isn't much meat, but every dish is delicious."
Because the medium this time was meat, even unrelated meat was incinerated without stopping.
"Darling, I got some cheese."
"The cheese here is also famous in the Saga empire."
That raises expectations.
Let's open a good vintage wine.
On that day, I was caught up in a doctor who was crying, hugged and was covered with alcohol, but the next morning I could refresh myself with the hot water prepared by Liza and the people in the city.
Thus, the series of turmoil that began with the shooting star came to an end.
◇
"Satou-sensei! Dr. Hippocrates did it!"
Princess Metia of the Kingdom of Norrow, who was contacted by the national license, gave her a letter of gratitude and a medal in honor of introducing Hippocrates as a thank-you from the king. I didn't have enough for all my friends, so I'll make a handmade medal and distribute it later.
The reconstruction of the Norok Kingdom, which was devastated by the plague, was supported by the newly established Echigoya Firm, so it will be somehow managed.
Of course, Mr. Kese, who started the event, gave an overview of the incident and promised to clean up any individuals that would fall to the ground.
I'm not familiar with compensation for the Kingdom of Norrow because it's a story between the parties.
"Okay, the second order of the day! The Floor master Subjugation! "
Pushed by Arisa's cheerful voice, we went to the Labyrinth of Serivilla today.
* The next update is scheduled for early August.

 

Spoiler: 18-28. Boy in the Labyrinth City (1)

* It is the appearance of the labyrinth city five years after the end of the story seen from the first mob.

"I'm going to the labyrinth city today"

　I muttered to myself in order to psych myself up.

"This scenery is all I can look for the time being ..."

　Overlooking the village in the cold mountains that he was born and raised on that hill.

　It's an empty village.

　Children are always hungry and some will die in winter.

　There are no pharmacists, so some people die even if they get sick, and some die even if they get injured while playing in the mountains. Fortunately, the year when Thalberg-san came was better, but it seems that Thalberg-san rarely comes to this village far from his own village, so it is ridiculous for the merchants to carry it in during other years. Medicine is the only lifeline.

　 Then, it seems that many people died in the Genie War five years ago, but in our village, the people of Echigoya Firm gave us food and medicine, so there were fewer deaths than usual.

"Brother, are you really going?"

　The mature and calm voice is my sister, who is 6 years old.

　Her unusual hair is hated by the elderly, but she is smart and very reliable.

"Oh, look after mom."

"Why don't you reconsider? If you wait for nine or six years, I can leave the village. I'm worried about leaving my brother alone."

　It's a phrase that doesn't suit a six years old.

"If I wait six years, I'll be 21 years old. I can't be an explorer after becoming such an old man."

"... 21 years old is not an old man."

　For some reason, my sister is small, but the judgment of "old man" and "aunt" is loose.

　The other day, she even said, "40 years old is still young."

"If you are willing to rethink--"

"No"

　When I answered immediately, my sister sighed deeply.

　It's as if she had given up on talking to a child who couldn't does not know better.

"I thought you would say that.

　My sister offered me a new dagger and a blue iron helmet.

　The dagger is not a cheap one to use for dismantling, but a large one that can be used for battle.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a expensie?"

"I made it. This village doesn't have scrap iron, so I spent months collecting iron sand in the river. I had a hard time, so please use it carefully."

　--Tamahagane? [TR: steel from iron sand]

　No, did you make it better than that?

"No, you make it?"

"... That's right. I bought it. The beautiful stones I picked up in the river sold well to the peddler. Let's keep that in mind."

　――Let's keep it.

　As usual, it's hard to tell if it's true or false.

"Maybe it was a unneeded?"

　My sister suddenly turned into an anxious face and asked.

"No, I'm very happy."

　When I answered that, her face turned into a very happy face.

　If you look like this, it looks like a year.

"I'll make a lot of money with this and entertain you and mother."

"I don't need it"

　My sister said flatly.

"Onii, please continue to work steadily with the slogan" Take care of your life "until six years until I go to the labyrinth city."

"OK, I'm going to learn Kenjitsu."

　My sister likes this word.

　If you try to adventure, you will definitely be stopped.

　Most of the time, he's forced to make mistakes and get injured, but he's a kind guy who treats me well, even though he's always complaining.

"It's true?"

"Oh, I promise. Hang this dagger!"

　I said it with a serious face, but my sister doesn't believe me.

　but it's okay--.

"Reina, believe in me"

"I understand. I believe--"

　If you hold both hands firmly and say so, my sister will puff her cheeks.

"--Rom -nii"

"That is not my name"

"I made a mistake. Sharon -nee"

　For some reason, my sister wants to name me "Rom".

　In the first place, my sister's real name is "Tona", and "Reina" is herself. 曰 rock. It seems to be the "name of the soul".

　Certainly, when I heard that story, I emphasized that I wasn't sure, "I'm Reina, so my brother should be Rom."

　About my name she also said, "Sharon is like a woman."

　However, I remember running away because I was scared because the words "... but my brother might look good in a transvestite" that I continued after that were too serious.

　The village bell rang in the distance.

"I have to go. It looks like its time to leave."

　From the village to the nearby town, we head with adults who are migrant workers during the off-season and people of the same age who are going to new service.

　During this time, the lord's army wipes out bandits and monsters on the road, but small bandits still spring up everywhere.

　Therefore, we act as a group to protect ourselves from such thieves and unscrupulous people.

　I go to the village with my sister.

"If you can't make money but it's a safe way and a little dangerous way to make money, you choose the former, because" you can still go "is" dangerous ", right?"

　In the meantime, my sister kept complaining more like a mother than my real mother.

"It's okay, because I have a special one."

"No. You'll run out of magic power in one go. Absolutely that ・ ・Don't count on it, right? "

　My sister hates me to say the skill name.

　Rare skills are a trump card, so it seems like you shouldn't tell anyone.

　By the way, she also said about daggers. She was saying something about it, but I didn't understand when I listened.

　Excuse me, because I was full of thoughts about the labyrinth city I was about to go to.

"It's late! Sharon!"

"My bad! I'll go soon!"

　Looking back to say the last farewell, my sister wasn't there.

　She must have been careful not to worry that her hair color would be repelled by the villagers-but not because of that. She is that kind of person.

　I met everyone and shouted to my sister who was hiding from somewhere.

"I'm going! I'll definitely be back in the village!"

　I couldn't find my sister, but she should have heard my voice.

　And I waved my hand once more and left the village.

◇

"Hey, get up Sharon"

Gon, a neighboring village who joined in the city, shook me.

　I broke up with the people in my village in the city, but there are many new adults aiming for a labyrinth city during the off-season after the harvest, and they are moving in large group of about 20 people, including Gon.

"Wake up Zaki, Keros, China, and Lhasa."

"Sleeping on the ground hurts my back."

"Didn't you say that the stones on the bed are gone?"

"Well, the ground of this mountain is hard everywhere."

　Keros of the grumble wakes up while complaining.

　This is the third son of a money lender in the city, so he complained every time he stayed in the field.

"How far is it to the labyrinth city?"

"Soon"

"It's hard to cross the steep mountain of Marquis Elouette, but once you cross this mountain, you can see the labyrinth city."

　There is no doubt if the acquaintance Zaki says.

　He also said he had made several round trips to the Labyrinth City with his father, a merchant.

"Sharon, let's boil water"

"That's right. If you don't drink warm plain hot water, your body is likely to get stiff."

　Invited by Sina, she prepares for plain hot water.

　I slept beside the spring water, so I can get water right away. The firewood was collected by the quiet Lhasa before I knew it. The fire was separated from the bonfires of other groups by China.

　Sina is from the same village as Gon and is the only girl in the group.

　There are about five people in the other groups, but it seems that they don't get along with the other girls, so a few days after leaving the city, they relied on Gon to join us.

　By the time Gon, who had been having a meeting with the leaders of other groups, returned, the water was boiling, so I distributed it to everyone and nibbled the black bread while soaking in plain hot water. I had dried meat until yesterday, but I ate it up.

"Hmm, my body warms up"

　The warmth of plain hot water permeates the body.

　It's plain hot water with no taste, but it's a treat when it's cold in the mountains.

　We cheated on hunger with a little breakfast and climbed the mountain following the other groups.

　As Zaki said that he would cross the mountaintop today, he went to the mountain pass on the other side of the mountain, overlooking the basin in the distance.

"It's a labyrinth city!"

"Is that so?"

"Then, is the place that looks like a hill on the west side a labyrinth?"

　When we heard the people walking in front say that they could see the labyrinth city and the labyrinth, we quickly headed to the edge of the pass, and the people behind us also crowded to see the labyrinth city far from the cliff. {Stare}.

　--That is a labyrinth city.

"Our legend begins now!"

　I held it in my mouth involuntarily, but I didn't say it.

　It was said by quiet Lhasa. There is no doubt that his face is red and he is feeling embarased.

　But I also understand Lhasa's feelings.

　Just looking down on the labyrinth city, I can't stop being excited.

　I can strongly feel that the days of getting out of the village that lives in the same tomorrow as today and opening up my destiny with only my own talents will begin.

"I'll do my best. I'll leave!"

"""Oh!"""

　We raised our voice to the leader's shout.

◇

"Wow, a great procession!"

　Sina saw the north gate of the labyrinth city and shouted.

　In this season, young people like us who have gone out of villages and towns all aim for a labyrinth city.

　Therefore, the knowledgeable Zaki told me that the gate of the labyrinth city would form a tremendously long line like the scene in front of me.

"Can you want to enter the labyrinth that much?"

"Ah, not everyone becomes an explorer and enters the labyrinth."

　Some go to become craftsmen of armor and armor, while others go to do business with explorers.

"And the labyrinth is ridiculously large. It was also in the story of the royal ancestor,'The oldest labyrinth in the world, Serivilla, is vast and endless.”

"Hmm, I've never heard of that. The guy who lives in the city is amazing."

"Not so much. I always read only story books and my dad often got angry."

　When Gon praised him, Zaki was shy and humbled.

　Keros distorted his face and snorted, perhaps because it wasn't interesting.

"Hmm! You must have read such a book! After all, you must know the actual battle as an explorer! In that respect, I went to the second floor of the purple tower near the city and defeated the monsters. There is! "

　--Unexpected.

　I thought Keros was a bragging, but maybe I should change my mind.

"Hey, don't be fooled. He just went in with escort”

　From behind, a giant with a bad personality ridicules Keros, and the men around him whisper.

　Keros can't argue, he just bites his lips with regret.

　What he did wasn't praised, but I've heard from my sister that the rich in the city would do it normally. He knew a lot of strange things.

"Well, so?"

　I just didn't like the attitude of these giants, rather than defending Keros.

"What? Did Keros give you some pocket money and you become a minion?"

"No. Keros is a companion."

　It's only for a limited time to the labyrinth city, but it's definitely a companion.

"If so, you too--"

"Hey, there! If you have a dispute, get away from the line!"

　A cavalry guard came and arbitrated our dispute.

　The giant still wanted to say something, but when the Taishou soldiers flickered the tip of a well-polished spear, he returned to the line with a dissatisfied face and a subservient look.

　In the story told by the flow bard, the Taishou soldiers were just overrun by monsters, but the soldiers we actually saw were so powerful that we couldn't win even if we were working together.

　I was even looking at the soldiers with longing eyes like Gon.

"I'll equip so that you won't be looked down on! Gon, give me your luggage."

"Oh, finally"

　Keros wears the leather armor he received from Gon, and wears a leather helmet and shield. I even wore a sword wrapped around my waist with a cloth. Despite fighting in the Purple Tower, the armor and shield are shiny.

　I also wear the iron helmet that my sister gave me.

　There is also a wooden breastplate made by carving firewood under the clothes, but it's just a relaxing item.

"Keros, which one is the promised one?"

"This dagger. It's a gem that requires gold coins to buy!"

"Wow! It's a new dagger."

"Gon, there are so many people that it's dangerous, so keep it away."

　Gon pulls out the iron dagger he received from Keros and stares at the blade with a grin.

　He looks like a dangerous guy, but I can't say it too strongly because I was staring at the dagger I got from my sister in the same way.

"I know. I just took a look."

　Gon put the dagger in its scabbard and was still staring at the dagger without getting tired of it.

"Oh, it's a newcomer"

"Is that the season already?"

"Do your best"

"Do not die"

"Survive"

　About five boys and girls of the same age as us came out of the north gate and ran along the outer wall as they were, encouraging us-or all those who were aiming to be explorers.

"What is that?"

"Maybe it's the explorers."

"What did you go to? You didn't even have a weapon?"

"' Laningu ・ ・ ・ ・I think it ’s a guy. ”

" Laningu ・ ・ ・ ・?? "

　--different. running ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・is.

"Yeah, it's the secret technique of building physical strength that the eldest daughter of the three sisters of Kishre Shigarza," Liza of the Black Spear, "started."

"Hmm, it's amazing. Can I do it?"

"Maybe. According to my father's story, it's just runs normally."

　I know it because my sister told me to do it.

　Since I started running, I've become less tired even when I'm walking in the mountains or doing farm work. When my abdominal muscles hurt due to the training, my sister touched me a lot and I felt uncomfortable.

"Then, should I do it too?"

"Isn't it okay? It doesn't seem to cost money."

　While talking about such things, several pairs of men and women who seemed to be explorers ran in the same way.

　I feel that there are many relatively small people.

"Next, you guys"

　After waiting for about two bells, it was finally our turn to show the ID card given by the village mayor before departure and enter the labyrinth city.

　At this time, it seems that the story that the entrance fee is exempted if you have an ID card seems to be true, and the guy before saying that he forgot his ID card was charged a silver coin for the entrance fee and it turned blue.

"Finally in labyrinth city!"

"Which one is the Explorer Guild?"

"I don't know, but I don't think we'll get lost."

"Why?"

"Because everyone around you is heading to the Explorer Guild, right?"

　People are walking along the ramparts to the west, rather than the wide, bustling boulevard that connects the north and south gates.

　We also decided to follow that trend.

"Beautiful river"

　Following a maze-like street with beautiful cobblestones, there was a narrow river flowing through the city. The flowing water is very clear, with small fish reflecting the sun's rays and shining.

"It's a river, or rather a waterway. According to my father, this waterway used to be dirty."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, the dirty waterway was cleaned by His Excellency Pendragon, who killed the Demon King."

"Wow, that's amazing!"

　Not only was he strong, but was he doing something like this?

"Other than that, he was really doing the magical medicine of Berea, which was an eye-opener, cooking meals for poor people and fledgling explorers, and gathering orphans to build a orphanage."

　Zaki will teach you various things.

"Look! That!"

　Keros shouted.

"White, tower?"

"Yes! That's the Explorer Guild!"

　I saw a building that was bigger than I had ever seen beyond it.

　The castle tower I saw in the city was also tall, but it's taller, white and very beautiful.

"Hey, don't block the road. If you have to stop, stop by the edge."

　When everyone was looking up at the guild building, they were scolded by people who seemed to be senior explorers.

"Sorry, I'm sorry."

"You don't have to apologize. When we first saw it, we just opened our mouths and fell in love with it. I'm a Gel The Iron shield. If you have any problems, consult with us. I'll help. "

　The senior explorer kindly said so and left us.

"Wow, that big shield on his back!"

　You can also see Gon making a surprise voice.

　For the first time, I saw a steel shield that was as tall as Gel, who was about 50% taller than me.

"It must be a famous senior explorer to walk calmly with such a big shield."

　As Zaki says, a shield of that size should weigh as much as two adults.

"Are they going to the labyrinth?"

"I think it's different. The labyrinth is that direction."

　According to Zaki, there seems to be an entertainment district in the direction where Jel disappeared.

"What is an entertainment district?"

"It's like a bar full of beautiful older sisters. There seems to be a store that His Excellency Pendragon was intimate with and a theater where he was a patron."

　He taught me various things that Zaki didn't hear.

　I'd like to see it once, but spending money on things that aren't delicious just because sake is bitter is like a fool, and I don't think I'll go there. My sister also warned me many times, "You shouldn't approach a store full of women because you're in danger of illness."

　Gon and Keros were so excited that Sina was disillusioned and impatient, saying, "That's why the man is ...".

　I'm not sure, but when you go to the red-light district, girls seem to hate you.

　My sister said it, and I have to be careful.

"Let's go. I want to register early."

　Prompted by Lhasa, we rushed to the Investigator Guild.




* The next update is scheduled for 9/5 (Sun).

* Volume 2 of the novel "Different World Fantasy Beginning with Death March" was released on 8/10!

Spoiler: 18-29. Boy in the Labyrinth City (2)

"I'm a great person"
Shortly after parting from Jel, the Great Shield, we arrived at the white building-the West Explorer Guild.
There are a lot of people here, and I think there are twice as many people here as there are people in our village.
We line up following the aspiring explorers who were walking in front of us.
"Is registration really in this line?"
"You're right. Zaki is worried."
"Because, you see. The people in front of you--"
"The clothes have blood on them. Isn't that the one who came back from the labyrinth?"
Gon and Zaki, who heard my point, looked at each other and ran to the beginning of the line saying, "I want to ask..."
"I've heard you. New registration is over there."
"Well, what was this procession?"
"This is an application for a newcomer explorer class."
I know the name of the new explorer class.
It's the one my sister told me to take.
"Let's go, Sharon"
"Wait, I want to take a class"
"Hey, we're here to be explorers? Isn't beginner training ? That's what the village mayor's son or pharmacist apprentice should do."
Gon says so and pulls me forcibly.
"Isn't that really the case?"
We were surprised at the sudden voice and jumped away.
Looking back, there was a giant dog man wearing a blue cloak.
"Hey, look at that"
"Blue cloak-" it's Pendora "!"
"That's Gaugal, the Storm Sword. Look, there's a Gale The blade and a Magic Bow Rabbi over there."
"Is it all the members for the first term?"
"They're party that targets the Area Master. Will you hunt it? "
"Seriously. Even though they are geniuses, they are already up to the " Area Master"!"
Veteran explorers in the guild buzz.
"It's a noisy, gau. Anyway, one should always takes a newcomer training. It's that increases the probability of survival, gau."
The dog man says so and walks toward the gathering of people in the blue cloak.
Beyond that, the entrance became noisier.
"-It's" Fang of Fire ""
The strong men appeared, splitting the crowd left and right as if the well-built explorers were afraid to fight.
"First-It's Zarigon"
"There are all the main members of Fang of Fire".
A man of the human race called Zarigon goes to the blue cloaks.
As I heard later, the first one is the greatest organizer among the explorers. It seems that the leader of the predecessor, Asaku or Yasek, retired and he took over.
"Well done, Usasa"
"I can't help but accept Zarigon's invitation."
Zarigon lightly hits the a rabbitkin on the wounded cheek.
"--Listen, yeah yeah!"
Zarigon turns shoulder to shoulder with the rabbitkin and shouts at the people of the guild.
"We,'Fang of the Fireworks' and'Pendora' led by Usasa-"
"' Lord Floor master』We declare the start of subjugation! "
When they declared so, the people of the guild stand up, raised their fists and cheered.
We and maybe the newcomers around us were swallowed by the atmosphere of the place and screamed together without knowing the reason.
Leaving himself to the screams of the swelling explorers, the flames splattered with a roaring sound.
It seems that a fireball exploded near the high ceiling of the guild.
The explorers gazed at the old woman who would have fired the fireball.
"Gee, guild chief."
"As usual, I'm an old lady."
Veteran explorers look at the old woman and say in a dismayed tone.
"Noisy guys, at all"
"You overdo it too. What if it burns?"
"I would not make such a mistake."
A delicate girl came out from behind the old woman.
The veteran explorers around me rushed away, saying, "Yeah, there's Severkea," "Run away, Severkea's punishment shouldn't be good."
I was a little worried about the girl who was more scared than the crazy old woman who fired a fireball in the building, but it must be something like "danger to touch" like my sister, so stay away from getting involved.
"Zarigon, you feel like trying for the first time in four years."
"Oh, I have to revenge properly before the new guys catch up."
"This time, Kajiro-san will also help me, hey, Usasa."
"Oh, that's right. Ayaume refused because of parenting, but Kajiro kindly agreed."
As I listened to the conversations of the guild chiefs, someone pulled the sleeves of my clothes.
"Lets go"
Prompted by the quiet Lhasa, we completed the explorer registration at the counter where the explorer was gone.
"Registration is complete. Mr. Sharon, you are an explorer from today."
I grab the wooden certificate I received from the staff.
My adventure is about to begin.
"Is this the searcher's card ... It's a piece of wood."
"It's true. It just has some numbers written on it."
Unlike me, who was impressed, Keros and Gon seem to be dissatisfied with the wooden certificate they received.
"The wooden certificate is a temporary explorer certificate, so it can't be helped. First, defeat the monsters and collect five demon cores by the end of next month."
Zaki advises Keros and Gon.
"Let's go to the next location"
Through such grumbling, Lhasa pulls us.
I was able to register for the newcomer class immediately, but it seems that I will be able to take it three days in advance due to the fact that reservations are full.
I also registered at a rowhouse that can only be used by new explorers. There is only one room for each party, but the army commander and the aristocrats of the labyrinth city will bear the cost, so it seems that you can stay for free.
"I thought aristocrats were just stingy."
"It's been six or seven years since the Army general-sama started investing. It's probably the influence of His Excellency Pendragon, who first invested a lot of money."
The staff who heard the mutter leaked by Keros informed me with a bitter smile.
"Let's go. Next it's upstairs"
Gon and Keros still wanted to hear from the guild chief, but Zaki and Lhasa insisted on acting in the absence of people and headed upstairs in the guild. There seems to be a map of the guild here.
"This is the map of the first section. I have it because I took it before, but everyone should see it once and see what kind of place it is."
"This is the labyrinth--"
Much wider than I had imagined.
"Look! There is a stuffed monster!"
Tired of staring at the map, Gon ran towards the stuffed animal in the exhibition corner.
"It's powerful"
"Oh, I've seen Gob, but I've seen others for the first time."
Even ants are huge in the labyrinth.
"From now on, we will risk our lives with these monsters."
"Yes, so it's important to know your weaknesses."
Lhasa pointed to the board of the pedestal.
The habits and weaknesses of monsters are written there. The labyrinth ant I was looking at has a hard shell, and it seems that a normal sword will be repelled unless it is slashed with a sharp blade. It seems that it is better to aim at the joint of the shell and stab it.
"Yeah! I'll do it! Let's go to the labyrinth!"
Gon, who was excited to see the stuffed monster, invited everyone to say so.
"But take a newcomer class before entering the labyrinth--"
--My sister.
"How can you wait for three days! You have to go to the back! It's just the first time!"
"That's right! As Gon says!"
"I don't have much money after traveling here, so I have to earn money for food?"
"Yeah, rice is important"
"That's right ..."
We headed to the labyrinth to be swept away by the momentum of Gon and Keros, who said things like bad adults in the village.
Like me, it seems that Sina, Lhasa, and Zaki couldn't control their interest in the labyrinth.
"What about weapons?"
Aside from the fully equipped Keros, the others have only a dagger, except that Zaki has a hatchet. Sina is a small knife for cooking, so it would be a little use in battle.
"Then I have a guess. Come on."
Following Zaki, there were several baskets on the edge of the training center behind the guild. The contents are empty.
"It's weird. I used to have a weapon here just before it was destroyed."
According to Zaki, there are weapons that were damaged during training, and it was good that the person who wanted them could take them with them.
"Because it is dangerous for newcomers, the guild is collecting it at this time."
A fat merchant-like person passing by will tell you.
"I can't help it, I can do something with just a dagger! Let's go!"
"Wait a minute"
The merchant stops Gon trying to go.
"If you're a veteran, you can use a dagger, but if you're an amateur, it's dangerous. It can't be helped.
That expression? Is it from another country? I feel like it's similar to my sister's language.
"Please take this. It's an ant-clawed short spear. It was designed by the apprentices of Echigoya Firm, and although it is not very sturdy, it can be used by opponents like Demigoblin."
"Are you really giving it to me? We don't have money?"
"Of course, we will give it to you for free."
"Yeah! Now you can go to the labyrinth!"
"Thank you, are you really okay?"
"Thank you, uncle"
"Appreciate it"
"Thank you, use it carefully"
"I don't like it because I have a shield and a good sword."
Only Keros refused, but we thank him and receive a short spear.
"Tell me your name"
"Is it my name?"
"Yeah. I want to thank you if you get stronger in the future."
"I also want to know"
"Me too"
Lhasa explained, and as I and Sina repeated words, the merchant opened his mouth with a smiley face.
"I'm Akindo, a merchant. At the guild or at the Echigoya Shokai branch on Chuo-dori. Ask for me if you visit, and if I can I will meet you. "
Mr. Akindow said so and left in front of us.
I realized that we had forgotten to give our named, after he disappeared behind the building, I hurriedly chased him, but he wasn't there anymore and I gave up.
We steeled our minds and headed for the labyrinth.
◇
"This is a labyrinth!"
When I entered the heavy door, I came out to a passage like a semi-underground.
There are windows for light at regular intervals near the ceiling, and the passage can be seen by the light falling from there.
There are many new explorers like us in the front.
"This is not a labyrinth yet. It's a passage leading to a labyrinth called" The Passage of Death"."
"Hey, it's a disturbing name."
Gon looks creep out by Zaki's remarks.
I agree. When you say you're going to the labyrinth, don't give it such an unlucky name.
"But yeah yeah yeah!"
I heard an angry voice from the front.
The rushing footsteps are getting closer and closer.
The newcomers walking in front split left and right, and the explorers rushed to the center.
If you look closely, it's full of blood, and it seems that someone is on something like a stretcher.
As they passed by us, I saw the cloth wrapped around the body of the person lying on the stretcher dyed bright red, and noticed dripping blood on the ground passing by.
-That doesn't help anymore.
I can tell from the many times I saw adults who were injured in hunting die.
"stop!"
"Don't disturb!"
I heard a quarreling voice behind me.
"At this rate, I can't keep it till outside. Use this."
"Magical medicine? Too bad but I have no money"
"I don't mind. I don't need to pay for it, use it."
"Just return the favor"
The magical medicine given by a veteran explorer seemed to heal the wounds of the injured, and I heard cheers so far.
"Thank you, I was saved. Tell us the name of our benefactor."
"I'm the Jeje of Red Ice'"
"I will definitely return this favor"
"Don't worry. We've been helped in the same way. Now you can help someone."
An explorer who calls himself Jeje goes away saying so, overtaking us who were stunned to see, and leaving for the labyrinth.
"Kake, I want to say that too one day."
"Yes, it's worthy of respect."
Gon and Zaki look at Jeje's disappearing face with an impressed face.
I want to be a person who can help someone like him.
The other explorers thought so, and there were several pairs of explorers talking about similar things.
We walked down the aisle to follow Jeje, but couldn't catch up and ended up at the Labyrinth Gate.
"What is that?"
Children younger than us are sitting in a slightly wider area in front of the labyrinth gate.
Everyone has an empty basket and the proportion of girls is high.
"It's the children carriers. You can't carry the loot with just the explorer, so you hire carriers."
Zaki informed me.
"If you go to the labyrinth, declare your searcher ID number and search period here!"
The guild staff in front of the labyrinth gate said so and called us.
We showed the wooden certificate in turn, told us that we would return on a day trip, and received a brief note from the staff.
"Dozon-sama!"
"" Dozon-sama! ""
Looking back at the turmoil of the carriers, the giant explorers had just returned from the Labyrinth Gate.
"Is he a celebrity?"
"Yes, it's the number one explorer in humanity."
Is it more popular than the first one?
Dozon-sama's companion puts a large back basket on the floor and reports on demon cores and loot.
"Let's go"
Lhasa urges us to see somehow and goes to the labyrinth gate.
"Today is Gluttonous dog Gratney Hound, I'm back with his meat! "
"" Wow! Meat! ""
Dive down the labyrinth gate while listening to the cheers behind.
It was a little fascinating, but the desire to enter the labyrinth prevailed and we went ahead.
