167 Trends in Ghosts






 The town of Rizagul.
 It used to be a small village built by miners to mine a small vein of ore, but in the end, the mining of minerals was so small that it came to nothing and was on the verge of dying out.
 The only specialty of the village was "Rooseberry wine," which was started as a winter income, but there were so few of them that they were bought by merchants at a low price and did not even generate any profit.
However, with the expansion and development of the great underground ruins of Ilmanas, many civil engineering workers came to this village, and the expansion proceeded rapidly.
 It was supposed to be a useless village once the underground tunnel road was opened, but to our delight, hot springs sprang up and it became an opportunity to make further progress as an inn town.
 Now that the tunnel road has been connected to the underground city of Ether Lante, which was left over from the old civilization, it has become a trading center where many people and goods come and go. In response to this, the residents of the town of Lisaguer have been promised a secure life with the support of the Imperial Kingdom of Atollum and the Magic Kingdom of Birdstea.
In addition, the hot springs that relieve the fatigue of the long journeys of the trading merchants quickly spread through the information network of the merchants, and the business opportunity to build hot spring inns from the Imperial Kingdom of Atollum and the Kingdom of Issaras arrived, and now there is a rush to build them. The artisans of some construction companies can't stop laughing.
Zoning and expansion work proceeded at an insane pace.
And now...

I feel like I've seen a town like this back home: .........
It's pretty crowded. According to my information, it was a poor mining village. ...... Oh.

 It reminded Iris of a famous tourist spot, with its triangular-roofed buildings.
 In addition, Janae was still suffering from motion sickness.

I went back to Santor as soon as I finished my escort order, and I didn't realize it had developed into such a town. ....... Well, if it's that crazy construction company, how is it possible?
I'm dying. ...... I'm dying. .......... I'm dying. ......
I'm disappointed in you, Mr. Jarnay. ......

 I'm not sure what to make of this. There are no unnecessary decorations, which reminds Iris of her nostalgia.
However, his companion's condition was destroying it.

"I was going about sixty kilometers per hour in a straight line and about thirty kilometers per hour in a curve when I slowed down, but I got so drunk. ......

 Cars are a new technology in this world.
 It is no exaggeration to say that it is an unknown entity, and that is why the people of this world have no tolerance for it.
In addition, Janae and the others got drunk just by riding in the rear car pulled by Zeroth's motorcycle. Sixty kilometers per hour is a speed that terrifies her, and she gets even more drunker, hugs Iris, and drives even harder.
And on and on.
The result is a sluggish ...... How did Iris manage to drive so far?

It's a good thing I was playing a racing game, I was in serious danger. ....... Thank you, Mao. My techniques for avoiding banana peels and blue shells came in handy.

 Thank you, Iris, for the mysterious plumber with the red hat.

"Hmm? I've never heard of buns before. ...... ugh!
I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
"Ugh. ...... Iris is cold. You made me this way. ......
I'm not sure what you're talking about. I'm not sure what to do.

"I'm being influenced by Lena! And at this moment, Iris thought.

By the way, where are you staying?
"Oh, ......we. You can stay at any available inn. ...... You can stay at any available inn. ....... I don't care where you stay, just pick an inn quickly... ......

 What was usually a dependable figure is now a shadow of its former self.
 It's a good thing I'm not the only one with a weakness for vehicles. Unlike Iris and Xellos, who are accustomed to the speed of cars, for her it's like riding a screaming roller coaster.

It's strange that she should be able to reach that speed instantaneously if she strengthened her body, isn't it?

 When you are hunting for demons with magical body enhancements, your speed is instantaneously equivalent to that of a magical moat carriage, but Iris was looking at Janae, who got car sick, curiously.
 However, there was no point in thinking about it, so we decided to go to a nearby inn.
 While supporting Janae, who turned into a disappointing beauty due to car sickness, .......


You can find a lot of information on the web at


"Phew~....... It's really a nice bath.
"Yes, it is. .........
"Ha-ha-ha-ha!
"Miss Urna, is it bad manners to swim in the bathtub?
It's not good manners to swim in the tub. ......

 In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the best way to get the most out of your time.
 They were now soaking in the open-air baths and relaxing from their daily fatigue.
 The view of the snow from the open-air bath was beautiful and worth seeing.

"Soaking in the hot water like this helps to heal the fatigue of travel. ......" (Chira)
"Taking a bath while looking at the snowy scenery. What a luxury. I wish I could stay here forever. I want to keep staying here.
"Master, Master Carosti, there's no point in looking at other people's style, you know. The benefits of the hot spring include neuralgia, sensitivity to cold, skin diseases, etc. ...... and beautiful skin. This skin beautifying effect is the best for women, but young lady ....... I'm sorry it didn't make your breasts bigger.


"Huh? Breasts are just a distraction. Why is everyone so jealous of them? What's wrong with being too heavy to wield a weapon?
"...... People want what they don't have. "People want what they don't have, and no one has the right to deny them what they sincerely want.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
 Celestina and Carosti's complexes were being stimulated by the fact that their eyes seemed to follow the breasts of the well-dressed women in the outdoor baths instead of the natural beauty of the surroundings.
 Just by turning his eyes away, he can't help but see the nakedness of others. And you are made to understand the cruelty of nature.
 Yes, the world is not equal.

There are a lot of women with large breasts in ......, aren't there?
There are many. ....... Is this some kind of harassment to us?
I can't help but notice the fear in their eyes.

 Perhaps it was her wild intuition, but Urna was frightened by the presence they were giving off.

The one who has what is not there is a symbol of envy for those who seek it. It is a symbol of envy for those who seek what they do not have, which often turns to jealousy and eventually to murderous intent. Could this hot spring inn be the stage for a murder?
"No, it won't! No matter how many of us there are, we're not going to start a murder case based on the size of our breasts. Ms. Anzu. ......
What do you think we are? I'm not jealous enough to commit random murder out of jealousy. I have the sense to do so!

 But Anzu saw that the two of them were emitting a stagnant Qi.
 Even if she didn't want to kill them, it was obvious that she had an intense envy for them.

'Don't be so hasty, you two have a future ahead of you. Why don't you just take it easy and give yourself a massage every day? Well, I don't need one.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. But Miska has a point. ....... My mother has large breasts, and it is possible that they will eventually grow into attractive breasts.
I'm embarrassed to admit it. ....... I'm only fourteen years old, so there's a chance I'll grow into them in the future. ......
(What about you, young lady? ......)
........................ What?

 I don't know if you can hear me.
 It's a good idea to take a look at the website to see if there is anything you can do to help.

I'm not sure if it was an obsession with beauty or just a coincidence, but Celestina didn't miss it. What did you mean when you said ......?
What are you talking about?
"Don't deceive me. Now you're saying my breasts are hopeless. ......
You heard me. Your mother was a bit modest with her ...... breasts, so it's very ...... unlikely that your daughter will be a good buddy with that in her blood.
Don't look at me with the eyes of a very poor person!
Then I'll stop. I don't think your daughter has a future.
Don't be so sure. Don't make desperate pronouncements with a very smug face!

 You have a very nice smile, Mr. Mischa.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm honest at heart, so I couldn't help but tell you the truth. Your mother did not have poor breasts, but they were not very large either. Yes, ...... I'd say she was about average.
Humanly speaking, ..........
And she is the one who transformed me from a cool, serious, literary girl into the person I am today.
You're kidding, right? You're joking, right? You're just joking, right?
No, it's the truth.

 Celestina's vision turned completely white.
 It was the moment when the place where she was relaxing and relieving her fatigue turned into an ice field of extreme cold.

"Huh? I'm sure you're not the only one.
"She's my classmate and friend. Well, when I first met her, she suddenly took a liking to me and chased me around for a while. ....... I'm sure you've heard of it. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for before you buy.
Celestina's mother was such a ...... person, wasn't she?
Celestina's mother was such a person?" "The one who made me what I am today. And I'm telling the memory of my late friend directly what she was like. Oh, what a beautiful friendship.
You were a very unique person, .......

 Celestina's thoughts stopped as she was told more shocking truths.
 If Miska's outlandish behavior is the image of Celestina's mother before she died, then she has a serious personality problem. When she was a child, Creston told her that her impression of her mother was that she was a quiet woman who looked like a white lily, but if Miska's story is true, she is the complete opposite of that.
 I'd like to believe Creston's story, but the trouble is that Miska never tells a lie as often as this. In other words, he is telling the truth.

"......... is a lie, right?


No, I'm extremely, extremely, extremely serious.
Please tell me it's not true, Miska!
You're the one who turned the Master around. How can he be sane? Both of you were carnivores, and you told me many times that you had a hard time at night, even though I didn't want to hear it. They were so happy that I was sick of hearing about it. .........
"............

 With a puff of smoke, Celestina's consciousness was completely short-circuited.
 No one's voice could reach her anymore.

How much of that story is true, Ms. Miska? How many of your usual jokes do you mix in?
"All true? Well, Milena had a fragile appearance, that was for sure. Behind her cheerful face, she was suffering from terrible circumstances. ......

 I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.
"Don't tell the lady, okay? "Don't tell your daughter. Many of us want her to be happy. But we can't let her know about it.
Why is that? If you were in Celestina's position, you would want to know the story of your mother's death.
It is better for you not to know the details, Master Carosti. ....... That was the wish of her mother, Milena.

 You'll be able to get a lot more than just a pair of shoes.
 But the price of this magic is that it shortens your own life. And there is no one who can use this magic anymore.
 However, if the magic of [Prediction of the Future] was passed down through the bloodline, there is a possibility that it could be passed on to Celestina's children. Even if Celestina herself could not use this magic, greedy people would think that her offspring might be able to manifest it.
 In order for Celestina to be as happy as anyone else, the existence of this magic must not be known. And she must be kept completely in the dark.
 To prevent this, the people involved do not say much and do not want to tell anyone the truth. Even to their own daughter, Celestina. .......

"By the way, how are you going to get Celestina?
"Oh, ..........

 For whatever reason, Celestina is currently rigid, unable to think. No one's voice could reach her.
 In that case, she would have to change her clothes in the changing room. That much was possible for now, but the problem was getting them to the room they were staying in.

 Conclusion. Celestina was carried out on a stretcher.
 Fortunately, I don't know if I should say this, but it seems that there are a lot of people who get faint from the hot springs, and no one thought it was strange.
 I'm just worried about her mental state, she was so shocked.

"......, I'm good for another hour.

 Apart from the commotion, only Anzu was enjoying the hot spring.
 She seems to like long and hot baths.


We're in the baths.


 Celestina and her friends weren't the only ones who came to the baths.
 Zveit and his friends also checked into a suitable inn, unpacked their luggage, and headed for the baths immediately. The rest of their friends were probably looking for a suitable place to stay.

"Hun! Mun! Mun!
Elomra, stop posing in front of the mirror, it's unsightly.
What do you mean? When you come to the bathroom and look in the mirror, this is the first thing you should do. You were too tired to take a bath yesterday, so you need to get yourself together and enjoy it.
No, I don't know such manners.

 Zveit was washing himself with a coarse towel, disgusted with Elomra, who was doing a double biceps in front of the mirror.

"If you don't know it, you should know it. If you don't know, remember that every man wants to expose his body in front of a mirror. Yeah, I've been building up some muscle lately.
I don't want to see it and it's giving me nightmares. I don't want to see it and it's giving me nightmares.
It's a gentleman's thing.
Pervert?

 Mr. Elomura has no intention of hiding the gentleman between his legs.
 He was gaining muscle, but he was also becoming more and more perverted.

"Comrade, we're at a spa. Why are you so cold?
I'm the kind of guy who likes to take his time. Hide your front!
No! It's a hot spring. It's a healing space where everything is open to you. You'd be lying if you didn't expose yourself.


So don't hang around in front of me!
Come on, you're hot. Come on! Let your soul go and feel the nature all around you!
Let me soak it all in! I'm close, the ferocious beast between my legs is close! Don't come any closer!

 I'm not going to let you get any closer than you already are!" Elomura, who had cast off all moral compasses when she came to the hot springs, was hot on the trail of Veidt. It's the weapon between his legs that's closing in on him the most. .......
 It was a dangerous sight to behold.

"Dio, you have to say something to this idiot!
I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. If Celestina was at the other end of the line,....... If Celestina was on the other side of that partition, someone like Elomura might peek in.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that. If you make it a mixed bath, you'll lose your edge.
In the time of Genesis, men and women lived naked, you know? Why do people try to hide everything? Since we are in love with each other, why can't we take a bath together, purely naked? ......
I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm sure you're not the only one who can remember my name. It's a great way to get to know a person better. ....... You'll be ruined if you keep looking at convenient illusions.
"Guha. ......

 Dio coughed up blood and sank to the bottom of the bathtub.
 The truth is sometimes a deadlier weapon than a sharp blade.
 And it was Mr. Zveit who wanted to use his newly learned language.

"Comrade ...... is terrible.
"What? I'm just trying to show you what's real when you're drowning in your own stupid fantasies.
You may be right, but Dio is serious. I'm going to wrap him in Oblard and gently ......
Dio is going to be a great stalker. If he doesn't face reality before he wakes up as a criminal, he'll go to jail in the near future. Besides, it's for Celestina's own protection.

 Stalkers don't listen to what others have to say.
 Stalkers are annoying people who force their one-sided love and affection on others, get excited and then destroy themselves. I feel it is too late, but I wanted to prevent my best friend from falling into the darkness.

You look like ...... Dio's father.
"No, if I were his father, I would have disowned him long ago. I'm only advising you because you're my friend. We don't even have feelings for each other, so why are you so excited? If you're not careful, you'll think he's agreed to marry you just because you had dinner together. I don't think so. ......
"Guffaw! Guffaw!

 Dio, in shock again, vomited blood.

Apparently, I was right. ...... Really?
"Why are you being so presumptuous? I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. You're not convincing when you're relying on others. I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.
"Geboraa!

 You seem to be getting fed up with Deeo, who has been running amok lately.
 His words of advice were also somewhat stinging. His words of advice are somewhat piercing, and they pierce Dio's heart without mercy.

"You're relentless.
"Lukewarm words mean nothing to Dio anymore. I've decided that I should be merciless and go hard like my master. It's better than going off the beaten path, right?
"Well, if you start ignoring your best friend's words, you're going to be a real criminal. Ultimately, it's Deeo's own problem. ......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. Or hide it, it's unsightly!

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.
 Ahead of them, Dio is floating in the bathtub, crying bitterly as the reality of the situation hits him.
He seems to have remembered the cold reality.

"Well, I guess I'll enjoy the hot spring too. The training was hard. ......
Is joint training with knights that hard?
Well, yeah. Knights ......, especially noblemen, are responsible for protecting their people. If you're weak, you can't protect anything and it will be taken from you, and your land and territory will be overrun. It's natural to train to prevent that from happening. Strategy and tactics are important in battle, but above all, a strong body is important.
"Comrade is a duke. His duties are far heavier than a captain's. Is the hypothetical enemy still the big religious country next door?
Ah, ........ That country is the most likely to attack us because it puts pressure on us in some way. Historically speaking, they have been repeatedly invading with absurd justifications. It is only natural to consider them dangerous.
"Are you going to join the military in the future after all?


It's your duty. The title is temporarily taken away to facilitate hierarchy and roles in the military ranks. If incompetents are allowed to use their titles as an umbrella, the country will be destroyed.
That's called militarism, isn't it?
Monarchies are militaristic.

 Ignoring Dio floating in the bathtub, the two of them surrendered themselves to the hot spring while talking about trivial matters.
 The water was so hot that they couldn't help but say, "Ahhh ......".

A hot spring ...... is a good place to take a bath while looking at nature.
You smell like an old man, comrade.
I've been getting a lot of fresh wounds lately. The knight captain was relentless with his strikes, kicking and blinding.
There's no such thing as fairness in battle. In a melee, they'll use any means necessary to get what they want.
A clean fight is just an illusion. Except for a single battle between generals, various methods are used to kill the enemy. The hard training is to build your strength and pain tolerance at the same time. If you can't fight because of a slight injury, it's the same as dying on the battlefield.
Comrade ......, if you want to build up your pain tolerance, I know a good way to do it.
It's called .......
SM.
f*ck!

 The trouble was, Elomra wasn't a shaman. He was seriously recommending SM to build up pain tolerance.
 And the young duke's sergeant doesn't know that there are a few knights who train in that direction.
 It's certainly effective, but waking up to M has been a problem in the Order.
 It is really a blessing that he does not know.


It is a blessing not to know.


 Deep in the dense forest, where few people ever set foot, a few men were warming themselves in front of a fire.
 They are criminals with scars on their shins, so-called bandits.

If you run to this country, they won't be able to touch you.
I'm sure they can't touch you if you run to this country. I've lost a lot of friends. ......
They have a strange sense of justice, and they're annoying!

 In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.
 Well, this is due to the fact that Iwata, one of the brave men, was defeated in the Ruda Ilulu Plains and lost many of the human resources needed to maintain public order.
 In addition, the capital city of Maha Rutato was devastated by a mysterious attack, and in order to divert the attention of the people while the government was being restored, the heroes who stood out were assigned to maintain security.
 It was bad luck for the criminals.

"Oh, well. Now I'm going to make some money in Solistair.
"It's a pretty good money story these days. We'll take advantage of it.
Money and women go hand in hand. Wha-ha-ha-ha!

 Having escaped with their lives, they must have been very carefree.
 They forgot to watch their surroundings, drank alcohol, and assumed that they would be able to rampage again as they wished.
 It was like a raccoon's reckless recklessness, but he was free from the fear of death that had made him so cautious.
 No wonder the burglars were unconcerned.
They were criminals, not trained warriors capable of rotating their vigilance in anticipation of battle. They may be able to use weapons, but they are only amateurs, and they are not as sensitive to the dangers around them as hunters.
That's why they missed it. That's why they overlooked the fact that a black fog was closing in around them. .......
 And the change happened quickly.

"Hey, what's up?

 One of my friends, who had been screaming like an idiot, suddenly stopped saying anything.
 When I strained my drunken eyes to get a better look, I saw that the man was suffering with his head turned upward and his mouth open, his eyes white.
 A black mist was leaking from his mouth and his abdomen was writhing eerily from within. Unable to speak, he only moved his arms to call out to his friends for help.

"Hee-hee!
Ahn? What's the matter, did you drink too much and shit your pants?
Wait, there's something wrong with this ...... guy!

 The man is in distress and repeatedly reaches out to his friends for help, but the phenomenon is so eerie that no one dares to approach him. In the first place, they do not have the camaraderie to help others.
 In the meantime, the man suffers and dries up as if his body is being drained of water.

What the hell is ....... What the hell is this?

 I didn't know what to make of it.
 If this were a nightmare caused by drunkenness, everyone would want me to wake up quickly.
 But this was reality.
 A black mist mixed with the smell of blood came out of the man's body and attacked the bandits around him.

".........!
"............!!!!

 The bandits didn't even scream as they were turned into mummies.

...... You've managed to get yourself together.


"They look like villains, so there's no harm in killing them.
"In fact, we've done a good thing.
"Wait for me at .......
"Grandma, have you eaten yet?
"I can't see you, Carrie. Where's your grandfather?
"I don't know!

 Countless faces emerge from the black fog.
 Faces of all races, young and old, male and female, appeared clearly in the fog, all of them moving toward a single goal.
 No, some of them were more subtle than others, but most of them shared a common desire.
 Revenge for the four gods.
 Some were summoned and immediately annihilated by the evil gods, others were used to expand their authority and were finally killed. Others were buried in the dark because they knew something unnecessary.
 All of them are souls summoned from the other world, working together as a group out of hatred and revenge.
 They are victims who have not been able to return to the circle of reincarnation and still remain in this world. And in the long time, they have been observing who they should take revenge on.
 And finally, he got a new body to take revenge.
 No, I have a body, but it is not stable yet.

"It's still unstable. ....... You'll be wiped out by the cleansing spell in no time.
Yes, ....... It's only a half-realization, and it's not enough to give you a full body.
It's only ash, and the body itself is vulnerable. ......
If that's what you think, then get out of here! This is my body, you know!
"Without us, it's just ashes. You're already dead.
"Grandma, have you eaten yet? I'm starving!
"Where are my dentures?
"Why is there an old man with dementia in the mix?

 They are essentially swarm spirits, monsters known as Legions.
 However, by combining the heroic power engraved in the souls of each of them, they have acquired the ability to attack the real world even though they are spirits.
 However, their current bodies are still unstable.
 Her current body is made of the ashes of a woman called Sharanra in this world, Reimi Osako.
 The ashes are not durable, and half-hearted materialization drains more magic power than necessary. This drain was a very painful weakness for the souls.
 Therefore, they need to supplement their magic power and flesh and blood from other creatures.

"Isn't it better to take over the body in earnest somewhere?
The creatures of this world are incompatible with each other, aren't they?
Maybe it's because we're foreign? I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea. You're not strong enough?
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure what to do.
『『『『『 You're killing me, Grandma and Grandpa! 』』』』』
I'm not sure if they're married by any chance.

 With this problematic body, taking revenge on the four gods is a dream come true.
 Therefore, in order to get a perfect body, the souls started to search for a compatible body again.
