A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat? - 225 252
Wolzwola territory – the town of the devil tribe. They don’t have a name in this town.
The town is situated in a painting of the Great Forest and stretches adjacent to the trees as it sows among the dense large trees.
The town has depth, and on the day of our first visit to the country, Lisa took us to see this town lightly, but it is only a small part of it, and there are still many other places and facilities besides this sight that is spreading in front of us, like magic schools and coliseums, for example.
So much so that this town is huge, but when I heard about it, I had this idea that they – that is, the Cuckoo Clan – might have deliberately chosen a place that was easy to encounter Lisa.
What am I thinking right now? If we’re going to conclude first, it means that they only looked after Toa from the beginning.
Lisa said, “I’ve been seen,” as if they were seeing Toa for the first time, but the information was already leaking and I guess the purpose was Toa from the beginning.
And we’re on a certain treehouse.
At the table of the liquor store facing outdoors, lunch was light, surrounded by booze and meat.
So to speak, this is a beer garden.
Even though it was still daytime, the shop was overflowing with many demons, each spreading a luxurious pour of liquor.
I guess Lisa’s words that she still tolerates beasts – are not lies.
But sensibly, I still felt like the number of beasts was overwhelmingly lower than the Demons.
It’s a demonic country, so can it be taken for granted?
“I’m glad the money’s in common with what’s in the human world, huh?
It’s the first time I’ve noticed anything about this place, but I only have money from the human world.
“Is it common?
On my front there was Nem tilting his neck as I said so. There is also Toa’s figure next to his right.
Sufilia didn’t follow.
“Master, what happened to Suphilia?
I spoke to Toa earlier in front of the castle’s doorway, but I haven’t explained it to Nem.
Even so, I didn’t say such a big deal, and I can’t possibly say it.
He said he was studying in the library.
“Are you studying?
“Speaking of which, you didn’t ask me what I studied, did you?
Following Nem, Toa also takes an interest.
Do you both feel uncomfortable that Suphilia didn’t follow you more or less?
“Sounds like you’re studying magic tricks on everything, huh? There’s a lot of valuable magic books and materials in that big library, isn’t there?
“I don’t know much about that? I didn’t really like books, so I’ve never been in that room much…”
Really, what life was Toa living in that castle before she met me?
I was talking to Lisa, I was talking to Pixie, that’s all I heard.
“Sure, Sufilia can use Trifoul, can’t she?
“Sounds like it? I haven’t actually seen it yet, but what the hell are you studying…”
Has the magic prop I gave you, The Wrath of the Virgin, also been modified?
Well, I stopped using that as there was more magic, and now I can call Ver directly, so I don’t need it.
“Are you human?
That’s when I heard that voice coming from the next seat.
“Huh?”
“That’s why you’re human? You’re not?
That was demonic, of course.
A slightly reddish-skinned demon clan. I have two horns growing on my head.
He’s in good shape, big and muscular.
“Yes, I’m human, aren’t I?
I knew from the tone that I wasn’t a demon clan that didn’t feel right.
“I knew it, so? Where did you come from? You’re not Greyberg, are you?
“Is it Greyberg? No, you don’t, though?
“Ha-ha-ha! No, it’s a joke, forget it? Then what? Detlelight?”
Derms, it’s Aldan.
“Derms…… oh! That’s the country. You don’t mean you came here without going anywhere, do you?
Slightly more questions……
“I went in directly with the metastasis.”
Then in response, the man checked each of our faces.
And for some reason, as I convinced myself, the subtle expression that was full of doubt clears up.
“Oh well. I’m sorry, I didn’t think Toatrica was coming out here…”
The man apologized and bowed his head for his words and actions, which were not particularly to blame until then with a bitter laugh.
But it’s also strange to think that a princess of a country thus blends into the lives of the general public and makes an effortless appearance in town.
Is this because this is a demonic country? Or is Mr. Lucius crazy or Mr. Electra crazy……
“Were you the one who said that Master Lisana was with you? My name is Joes. Well, you don’t have to remember anything, but I live around here. That chick over there is the White Cats? This is unusual again.”
“It’s not a chick! Nem is Nem!
“Hmm?… Ha, ha, ha! This is so bad. I see, is that Nem? Say hello?”
“Yes it is!
I’m quick to forgive you, Nem.
“I… am a political minister”
For a moment, I almost said nito. I guess it’s because I had more chances to name it that way.
“Masamune? That’s an unusual name, isn’t it? I hardly ever hear such a name for a human being… are you from a playland?
Is that a question again?
“No, you don’t… Mr. Joes is more familiar with humans than that, right?
I thought it would be just fine and I couldn’t help but want to hear something as I continued this conversation that I don’t quite understand.
“Me? Well, I often go to the human world.”
“Do you know anything about this neighborhood, too? For example, what about the Curtain Clan that was causing problems there yesterday?
“What are you? You want to hear about them? Better not get involved with them, huh? I’m not exactly the right person to talk to. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they’re completely irrational. They’re so emotionally unstable, and besides Master Cassandra, they were hand-minded. Yes. Besides, there’s no benefit to this way, assuming we can tell. I mean, it’s just a loss to get involved.”
“Um, why do they hate you so much? What the hell did you do?
Then the man looks me in the eye seriously when I ask him that, and convinces me to understand something on my own. This man had a habit of abruptly calming his emotions when convinced.
“Master Lisana was brought here, so I’m clear… well, that’s fine. It’s not like they’re making me stop talking. But just in case, why don’t you tell me what you heard from me?
“Okay, I’ll keep quiet.”
“It’s a story anyone knows. Well, the younger ones don’t know, but we all know demons my age.”
I wouldn’t even consider how old you are if they told me so.
“Master Lisana and the current chief of the Curtain Clan – Maricias was from the same demonic school. It was the same when I enrolled and the same for the school year. Maricias had a problem, and he didn’t graduate, but if nothing had happened, he’d be a good demon by now. Well, all I can say is that I didn’t know what they were like until that day. Now I know I couldn’t…”
“What happened?
That’s the problem. Neither does Mr. Lucius, nor does anyone tell us about it.
“This story is hard to tell humans. Probably not immediately understandable. That’s why nobody wants to talk to you.”
“Huh…”
What do you know about me, Mr. Joes said that with a niggling grin.
And as soon as he said that, he told me.
“I drove one demon tribe into suicide.”
“Suicide?”
“Yeah, but Maricias continues to deny it. Shortly after enrollment, Maricias was not unlike other students, but was seen and liked at first sight by both boys and girls. What a beauty, huh? And they had the serpent’s swordsmanship, The Serpentine. Maricias was good at swordsmanship.”
“Is there magic in swordsmanship?
So Toa asks. You’ve been drinking around, and that tone is familiar to Mr. Joes the first time you meet him.
“Yes, it is. Maricias also had excellent magic. And at first, it was respected by everyone. It’s important to look. Come on.”
Mr. Joes turns his gaze back on me.
“Humans, too, right? The Demons are the same. Push your own convenience into beautiful things. Because of his beautiful appearance, he wants him to be a strong and gentle demon with a broad heart who can study… but no one is perfect like that. When I opened the box now, Maricias didn’t have a great gift for magic.”
“Huh?… but just now”
“Of course you could use magic, right?” But the Cuckoo Clan, which has the Snakeman as its ancestor, was born with little magic. ”
That’s the first I’ve ever known.
Well, can you call Shawn an exception?
“That’s why the Snake Man excelled in swordsmanship. Maricias’ magic power was the average of the Demons, wasn’t it?
“Hmm?… that, I mean”
“I’ll explain it in order. What we just talked about was little known at the time. It was Maricias, who was respected by everyone, but it was Lisana’s presence that undone. Lisana, the Rickman clan… you know about the Rickman clan?
“Uh, just a little bit.”
“… okay. At the time, the magic of Lisana was far removed from Maricias. Besides, there is even a secret sorcery that is passed down to the Rickman clan. It can’t be magic.”
“But Maricias had swordsmanship, right?
“That’s right. But for some reason, Lisana was excellent at swordsmanship. A mock fight one day. Maricias was defeated by Lisana. The Rickman clan is the strongest of all. It was the moment they showed it off. But as I found out later, Maricias was one of the Curtain Clans who lacked swordsmanship. That’s so inferior to even the emo and doma of the same clan who then made him his own cousin. But the magic of the Demon Nation as a whole was also powerful in the Curtain Nation, so they admired Maricias.”
I mean, is it going to follow what Lisa said about “herds”?
“Then it didn’t take long for things to happen. Maricias and the others will be seen with white eyes from around them. But that’s what he invited himself. Maricias changed her attitude, which until then had been friendly, only stuck with her fellow countrymen, and she had lost her mouth properly. And then one day, a student jumped off a watch stand.”
Maybe I shouldn’t have let Nem listen to this story.
But Nem listened enthusiastically to Mr. Joes. Does the Beast Man grow faster than he looks?
Instead, Toa stares at the table so that he turns away more.
“Maricias was malignant to certain students and was engaging in shady harassment. Looks like some of the students were watching the scene. I don’t know, do I? horns on the rabbit, which was frequent and witnessed by many students. Shortly after the students jump, as the teachers gather, the students begin to say” Maricias killed ”in turn… but they cannot escape. But at that time, Maricias turned to her teachers, her students, and Lisana, and said,” It’s worse to kill yourself, isn’t it? ”
……
“Maricias consistently claimed to be innocent. Several teachers and students then blamed it. But,” I just did the same thing as her. She was kind to me too (,). So there is no evil there. It’s her problem that she’s dead. If you’re to blame, blame her for her death. “… Maricias asserted so loudly in front of everyone gathered.”
“Is that the problem they caused?
“You’re more Maricias than they are, aren’t you? Originally, the Cuckoo Clan itself had a bad impression.”
Mr. Joes, as a little tired of the conversation, had a distant eye but depended on his back.
“I guess that’s why it was extra, huh? When they found out it was the Curtain clan who caused the incident, the people gathered in front of the school and in front of their house to protest. Then this matter was known to the three kingdoms of the demon kingdom, and no one knew them. Well, it’s been a long time now, and the younger ones don’t know it, do they?
“What happened to Maricias after that?
“Of course I’m out of school. It’s just Maricias, right? Emo, Doma, and the rest of the students just had to suspend.”
There was still some doubt in me when I finished listening.
I see that Maricias has caused problems.
But I don’t see why the whole curtain clan is being considered bad. Even taking into account the fact that it was not originally well thought out still raises questions.
“Well, there’s one thing I don’t know yet.”
“What?
“Even so, I still don’t see why the entire Curtain Clan is being made a bad person”
“…………… right”
But in response to my question, Mr. Joes’s mouth was reduced until then, when he was rapping.
“I feel that way, like I haven’t heard anything yet”
That’s part of what I’m talking about, but most importantly it has to do with the fact that this guy’s emotions are a little messy, unlike just now.
No, is this more exciting than messy?
“I see.”
“Huh?”
“I mean, that’s what the Demon King thinks. Because I have Toatrica, I always thought you were trustworthy. But you’re not going to be asked anything that matters.”
“The key thing?
“Ask yourself the rest, okay? Well, it’s not like the Demon King is laying a mantra on us…”
Mr. Joes then carefully points to Toa in the palm of his hand, as he indicates the answer. But the words are jammed.
And he stopped speaking as he did, and took his seat deep again.
“If you want to know, ask the Demon King. Enough to bother putting it beside an important princess. You’re human, but you’re pretty trusted, aren’t you? I don’t know why.”
Is this what all demons are all about?
As soon as I touch a story I don’t want to talk about, I cloud my words.
Then I just say “thank you” and take a seat. Then for some reason, Mr. Joes gave me the price for the store.
But he said, “Never mind,” so he made me sweet here.
And take a full Nem who wouldn’t have heard anything on the way and a slightly depressed Toa because he heard something nasty, and we take a seat to leave the spot.
And a few steps away from my seat, I heard Mr. Joes say, “Oh, yeah, hey,” from behind.
“Thanks for killing Cassandra, huh? That was really helpful.”
“… what?
I look back as soon as I hear that voice. But…
…………
When I looked back, there was no sign of Mr. Joes there.
No, it’s not just Mr. Joes.
“Masamune… what is this…”
“Your husband! They’re all gone!
– There was nobody in the Beer Garden.
We’re the only ones there. It’s just leftover plates, leftover jocks, etc., and I didn’t even see the clerk who was supposed to be walking on the floor until just now.
“…………… let’s go”
That’s what I had to say.
In my head, “Thank you for killing Cassandra, huh?” only a creepy tone that didn’t belong to Mr. Joes until then, and an emotion that made me look like a fool, linger like aftertaste.
Toa was just more confused by the sight in front of him than my words, not less frightened.
Nem didn’t know what was going on, and he said, “What’s going on? What do you mean!,” he repeatedly panicked.
After that, we decided to tour the town and saw clothes and tools for a while, but Toa didn’t seem to feel like she was going to tour much further away from me, so she would return to the castle sooner than she thought.
What is it? Every time I go to town, I get caught up in something.
I can’t even do a proper tourist tour of the demonic kingdom.
Come on, I’m getting frustrated.
