Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyusoukyoku (WN) - Volume 10 - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: 38

10-38 . The Man in Black Clothes (3)

 

Satou's here . Fake name has the impression of something that phantom thieves or swindlers, those kind of criminals, have . It might be because there won't be any opportunity to use a false name if you live honestly . Even though Pen-name and Handle-name are kinds of false name too, the impression you get from them is greatly different isn't it .

◇

"Kuro-sama, we have taken all 262 lost thieves to the explorer guild . The guildmaster is calling for you . "

"Is that so, I'll go immediately . "

While nodding to commander-san's report, I advance through the passageway of death toward the labyrinth city . Commander-san is a 27 years old woman called Sumina . She's an intense carnivore woman with red lion hair, thick eyebrows, and thick lips . I can't call her beautiful, but she's someone with a mysterious charm .

Together with her, I go to the guildmaster room in the west guild . The guildmaster instructed commander-san to get out of the room as soon as she saw my face .

"As I thought, it's you huh . "

"Fuhn, to think that the pyromaniac old woman is the guildmaster . Think more carefully about the place when you use magic . "

"Mind your own business . "

I talk to the guildmaster as Kuro with haughty attitude .

"You broke that Sokel guy out of prison didn't you . I think I should arrest you here and now as a guildmaster myself, how about it?"

"Enough with the pointless mind game . I'm protecting that guy in a safe place . I want to interrogate him, but I'd deliver him in person if you can provide a safe place that can prevent him from killers or poisoning by his relatives . "

The guildmaster is threatening my undaunted and proud attitude . Frankly speaking, the only reason why I'm sheltering Sir Sokel is because I don't want an acquaintance to die needlessly . I'll gladly let the guildmaster takes him if she wants to bear the responsibility .

"Who's behind you?"

"My master is the sword of heaven . "

"Hou, didn't think you would answer . To think that the royal family is behind you . "

No, I wanted to say that I was Nanashi's subordinate, but it seemed she misunderstood .

"So, have you suppressed all the fiend drug cultivation fields?"

"Yeah, I didn't burn them since I'd like to lure those guys out, but I had released all the people who worked there . "

"You really are the person who saved all those people huh . Doesn't seem like there's anyone with Alchemy or Compounding skill though?"

"There is no one with Alchemy skill . I've put the people with Compounding skill in a proper place . "

The guildmaster looks satisfied with my answer . I can imagine that she's misunderstanding it, but I don't intend to correct it .

"And, are you going to stay in the labyrinth city for a while?"

"No I originally came here by the request of an acquaintance to take care of someone from his clan who had become a lost thief . I'm going to be in the royal capital for the time being, although I intend to come here again in near future . "

"That so . I'd like to give you a medal in my capacity as the labyrinth resource minister . "

"Unnecessary . "

I tell so, and get out of the guildmaster's room . I tell the commander-san who looks worried outside that it's fine, and head to the guild treasury to receive the prize money . It's nearly 400 gold coins . It's about as much as two Rudaman's worth .

I give commander-san and the other explorers one gold coin each . Then I handed over the rest to Porina whom I had tasked to buy the vacant site and asked her to pay the settlement .

◇

"Tifaliza, add me new names . "

"Yes, what kind of name would you like to have?"

I ask the girl with the unreadable tranquil gaze to add some famous names from the earth onto me .

"Master, even if I add you several names, all of them besides the last one are going to be useless, is it fine with you?"

"Ah, I don't mind . "

I nod, and then she chants the naming spell in calm quite voice .

"■■ Name Order . 『Trismegistus』 . "

I've forgotten about the details, but Trismegistus should be the name of a famous alchemist .

Tifaliza who has finished the naming tilts her head while looking puzzled .

"Master, I'm sorry . The naming just now might have failed . "

She tells it without looking troubled, to check her words, I open the menu . The Companion column stays at Kuro name indeed . To make sure, I select the name on Companion and Status columns to check, and the [Trismegistus] name has been properly added .

"It is the case that a name that has been given by someone powerful cannot be overwritten . "

Although Tifaliza doesn't know about it, she explains the condition that makes naming fails . The name Kuro is given by the Black Dragon Heiron, so it can't be helped .

"I don't mind even if it's fail, add me another name . "

"Yes, if that is what master says . . . "

Her word stinks a little like she's somewhat dissatisfied, but she immediately fixes her manner and mechanically continues the naming . While supplying her with [Magic Power Transfer] along the way, about 10 names had been added to me .

Now then, as for Tifaliza's and Nell's future--

"You two, do you have anything you want to do?"

"If it's allowed, I wish to know the well-beings of my parents in my hometown . "

Come to think of it, their hometown was destroyed by the demon wasn't it .

"Very well, I cannot teleport to Lesseu Earldom, but I will check it . "

I listen to Tifaliza's parents' names, levels and features . Looks like her parents have been turned into slaves together with her . As for Nell, she doesn't seem to have any attachment to her hometown since her relatives have been bereaved .

"You don't have anything you want to do Nell?"

"Right ssu . Please stop with the half-killing and quickly hold me ssu . "

<TLN: She speaks like that . Try listening to Disgaea's Prinnies in the original language if you want to hear how it sounds . >

She's a carnivorous woman like Arisa huh .

"What, are you frustrated?"

"I, it's not like that ssuyo? I'm a genuine maiden ssu . "

"I'll free you in two, three years, so take care of it until then . "

Looks like she was anxious since she didn't know when her master would want her body .

I won't be forceful anyway . I'd just go to the brothel if I want to hold a woman, although I won't expressively say it .

"Are you going to free us? If I'm not mistaken, the two of us should worth around 30 gold coins . I have never heard anyone who releases slaves worth that much . "

"I've heard story about someone releasing slaves that's over 50, 60 years old though ssu . But if I have to say, that's more like throwing them away ssu . "

Is it that unusual? I think I've heard the slave trader man in Seryuu city saying the same thing .

Nell and Tifaliza don't seem like they have something particular they want to do . They said that they wanted works if they had to .

"Well, when you've found something you want to do, just say it . Until then, study magic from this book . Tifaliza, if you don't know anything, ask Nell to teach you . "

"Yes, master . "

"Understood ssu . Tifa-san, I'll make you to become a full-fledged spell-user ssuyo!"

Umu, good answer .

I give Nell elementary books of nature magic, water magic, earth magic, and Tifaliza an elementary book of life magic . It'd be most satisfactory if Tifaliza can learn the magic, but it's not like I'm expecting too much . Sooner or later, I'm going to take the two for power-leveling, so this is a preparation .

Now then, I leave Nell who has began her lecture at once, and teleport to the outskirt of Furusau town .

◇

From there, I fly with Flash Drive toward Lesseu Earldom .

I caught a sight of the kingdom army being kicked around by a monster that looked like a dragon .

It's a huge monster called Gaudy Mole . It has dragon-like wings, a split tail, and it wears a richly colored collar roll on its head . Since its level is 47, it seems to be quite formidable .

Is that the dragon that's blocking the highway?

I'm sorry for snatching their job, but I change into Nanashi-style with violet hair and eliminate it with Claiomh Solais from the sky . The highway blockade should be opened now .

I install several carved seal boards for teleporting along the way . I've also installed a carved seal board on the outskirt of the town in Zettsu Earldom that neighbors Lesseu Earldom . I saw an unexpected person in the town of Zettsu Earldom, but since I couldn't meet the person as Satou, I'll be waiting for the next chance . We will probably meet in the labyrinth city or the royal capital .

I arrived at Lesseu Earldom that day, but unfortunately, there weren't anyone who seemed to be Tifaliza's parents . There was no mistake about it since I had searched on the map . I also searched on the three adjacent earldoms and the two neighboring kingdoms, but the people in questions didn't exist there .

I felt slightly depressed, but since the search was over, I teleported to the labyrinth city .

I told the truth to Tifaliza, and then she went to her room after muttering "Thank you very much . " I'll let her cry as much as she wants today .

I leave it to Nell to cheer Tifaliza up and went back to the mansion .

◇

"Wlcome~"

Tama finds and meets me who comes out of the basement door . Pochi also rushed here slightly later .

"Today is the festival of Lasagna and Cheese Gratin nanodesu!"

Hou, that sounds nice .

I let Pochi to dangle on my arm while supporting Tama who's climbing my body with my hand .

"Welcome back . "

"Ara, welcome back . I saw it~ Master did flashy things that weren't like usual master . "

"I'm back . No one will associate it with me if I do something that flashy right?"

I sit down beside Mia and Arisa who are relaxing in the living room . Before Mia could dive on to my lap, Tama quickly climbed down my neck from where she was on my shoulder, and landed on my lap . Pochi changes place with Tama, she's climbed on to my shoulder .

"Mwu . "

"Reserved~?"

I've never accepted to that reservation though .

"So almost everything has been settled today?"

"Mostly yeah . I guess it's just eliminating the mastermind behind Sir Sokel and securing the way to make the slaves who've remained in the mansion of ivy to sustain themselves left?"

I wish the kingdom would do something about the former, but if they can't settle it before the Kingdom Conference, I'll intervene without reserve .

I listen to Liza's report about the children's training observation while eating the piping hot Lasagna Lulu's made in the dining room .

"Since there were many rash children, Iruna and Jenna had a hard time . They're going to live in the tent of training ground with the children from today on . "

"I see, I should bring them some Brownie Wine for evening-drink . "

Looks like the apprentice maids in the mansion are also being strictly trained by Ms . Miteruna . They reported happily about how they were taught letters with the learning card and magic control with magic powered spinning top by Lulu and the others during the break .

Now then, it's been awhile, let's go to the labyrinth with everyone to level up from tomorrow on .
