Instant Death

Volume 6 Chapter 1 - I knew Momoko-san had a problem, but she suddenly started talking like a demon king.

Tomochika and her friends rode in a carriage and continued their journey.

Our destination for the time being was a port in the Kingdom of Blair.

The Kingdom of Blair is a neighboring country to the Kingdom of Lindy, where the City of the God of War is located, and we should be able to reach it in a few days if we followed the road straight ahead.

So far, so good.

As she was thinking this, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Tomochika wondered why.

They had just taken a lunch break and were not planning to stop for a while.

“I’m in a bit of trouble.”

As she was thinking this, the carriage suddenly stopped, and Tomochika wondered why.　They had just taken a lunch break and were not planning to stop for a while.

I’m in a bit of trouble.

Mokomoko emerged from the wall.Mokomoko was controlling his Goe robot.

“Take a look outside.”

Tomchika honestly looked out the window and looked ahead.

There was a huge thorn.

A stone pillar with a sharp tip was sticking out of the middle of the road.

It must have fallen from the sky above. It must have fallen from the sky, and the impact of the thorn had half destroyed the paved road.

“Oh. Surely this can’t be bypassed by ……?”

‘Basically, carriages can only travel on paved roads.’

Looking around, we saw that there were many stone pillars sticking up all over the place.

Even if we somehow managed to go on, the road would be further divided at the end.

“The armored car would have come in handy. What a shame.“

Yogiri was a little too late for that.

This was a plateau, with grass and rocks without a paved road.

The armored vehicle they had been riding in before would be able to get off the road and traverse it, but a horse-drawn carriage would soon get stuck.

“For example, how about if Takato-kun breaks this huge thorn?”

“That might get rid of the obstacle, but it won’t fix the broken road.”

“Besides, there seems to be a lot of people here.”

A short distance away, armed men were running for cover.

The giant thorns were the first thing I noticed, and I didn’t notice them right away.

“Whoa!“

A thorn falls.

They crushed the soldier, piercing deep into the plateau and scattering sediment all around.

If you look closely, you can see something reddish-black sticking to the base of the other thorns as well.

The thorns seemed to be descending from the sky, aiming at the soldiers.

“Shouldn’t we get out of here?”

“I think I’ll be okay for a while. I’ll be fine for a while, but I don’t think I can keep going.”

Yogiri has the ability to sense the danger of death.

According to this, he seemed to be safe, but he did not know how long it would last.

‘I am also the one who calls himself the Demon Lord. I’m not going to run and hide, but it’s really useless. Why were they trying to kill him in the first place?’(spirit)

Then, suddenly, he heard a woman’s voice.

“Mokomoko-san. I knew you were like that for a while, but all of a sudden you’re talking like a demon king. ……”

“No!　Why do I suddenly have to play the Demon Lord?”

I’m sure you can hear it now.”

Yagiri took out a small jewel from his uniform pocket.

It was a magic tool for language translation that Celestina, the concierge, had prepared for him.

Originally, it was a necklace, but Yagiri had detached the tip and was using it because it was too cumbersome to wear around her neck.

‘Hmm. It seems to pick up public channel communications, translate them, and output them.’

“What do you mean?”

‘That. You want power? It’s the kind of thing where you hear a voice out of nowhere saying, “You want power?’

“That’s a bit complicated. It’s like telepathy, right?”

“Well, that’s it.”

Apparently, there is a means of communication between gift holders, and this grimoire was supposed to translate that as well.

“Shut up, Demon Lord!　It’s because you’re tormenting innocent people!　You will be destroyed without mercy!”

“Hmm. But it’s bad enough that you’re in my area of operation.”

“What?”

We’re just enjoying the hunt. We just enjoy hunting. We hunt what we can find in our range. That’s what you’re doing, isn’t it?”

Don’t be silly! Humans are not like animals!”

“You have wisdom, unlike animals. If you know you will be hunted, you can move your base of operations. Why can’t you do that?　Why do you want to challenge us to a reckless contest?　Hmm. It’s not as if they’re any different from animals, after all.

I also heard the voice of someone who seemed to be a brave man through the translator.

They don’t seem to be anywhere near here, but they seem to be fighting with their tongues.

“If it’s a final battle, can’t you do it at the Demon King’s Castle or something?

Tomochika shouted in annoyance.

＊＊＊＊＊

I happened to pass by the scene of the final battle between the demon king and the heroes.

It’s not likely, but if it’s taking place outdoors, it’s possible.

Tomochika and Yomogiri had encountered just such a scene.

Of course, it was an accidental occurrence.

It is not that I want to see the battle between the heroes and the demon king, nor do I want to get involved in it.

In this world, the Demon Lord is not a threat to the world, and the danger is localized.

It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for, and what you can do to help.

The trend of the battle does not affect the world. It’s a great way to make sure you’re getting the most out of your time and money.

Let’s just get this out of the way.

“Hmm. There’s no damage to us at the moment, but we can’t relax too much.

“Let’s react a little more!　It’s the hero and the demon king.　It’s a fantastic development that’s never happened before!

“I’ve been told that. I’m not sure what to do.　It’s not that unusual, right?”

“I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that I’m not the only one.”

It seems that there are several demon nations, all of which are in conflict with humans.

From the perspective of neighboring countries, the demon race is a threat, and as a countermeasure, they sometimes invoke people from other worlds.

“Come to think of it, why bother with the summons at all?”

“Why now?

“I’m not sure what to make of it. It’s a good idea to have a good idea of what you’re doing.”

“I don’t care about Hanakawa. What do we do now?”

“Let’s turn around. It’s not like we can fix the road.”

“But is there any other way?”

‘Hmm. It was almost a straight road up to here. If we turn back, there may be no other way.’

“Then I guess we’ll just have to keep going, won’t we?　Maybe we should leave the carriage behind and just ride on the horses.“

“It’s an invincible horse left behind by an invincible army. It’s an invincible horse left behind by an invincible army. It may be able to go over some rough terrain, but the boy can’t ride it, can he?

“Can two people ride a horse?

“It’s not impossible, but if you’re not used to it, won’t it be hard?

I think it’s better than walking. I think it’s better than walking, as long as we can get to the port.

My luggage is in a backpack that Yomiga has, so I only need to take that with me.

This is a magical tool that can hold more things than it looks.

The equipment and food needed for the encampment were stored in it, so there should be no problem even if they didn’t use a carriage.

『What the hell?　The Demon Lord is suddenly on …… and we’ve won! 』

『You did it, brave man! 』

I heard such a voice as I was getting ready to move on my horse.

“What?　This is ……“

Tomochika asked, having a bad feeling about this.

“Oh. The place we are in is in the area of the demon king?　I’m sure you’re right.

I thought that’s what you meant!

I had no intention of getting involved in the decisive battle between the hero and the demon king, but the night fog had automatically defeated the demon king.
