The city gates of Luna Sark were littered with the remains of zombies.
　Crushed by the overwhelming power of the zombies, not even a trace of their former human form remained.
　The victims are pitiful, but all the living can do is pray for their souls to be saved.
　Regardless, as a brave man, Gaku had another duty.
　Yes, he had to interview the two people who had exterminated the zombies.

I don't want to go to ....... If I go, I'll go ...... and I'll definitely get pitched .......

　I was being extremely negative.
　The gate was opening slowly, but in Manabu's eyes, it seemed terribly slow.
　This was because the cause of the zombie attack had not yet been determined. Manabu wanted to know as much information as possible.
　Regardless of which country you belong to, it is up to the security services to investigate the origin of the disturbance. Or rather, this is their duty.
　The problem is that the other knights were scared when they saw Xellos and the others fighting, and threw everything at Gaku. Here's what happened...

"We need to talk to them, don't we?　Mostly about weapons and zombies. ......
"No, no, no, they're not our enemies, but they're not our allies either. I'm not sure what to do.　We'll die easily.
"You'll die even if we don't. That weapon is too dangerous. ......
"Okay, let's let the heroes go. At least he's stronger than us.
"Didn't I just ...... use the wrong word?　Well, I agree with you on that.
So, Mr. Manabu, ...... please go talk to them.
I'm sure you'll agree with me.　What if they don't respond to our questions?　What if they point a weapon at you?
『『『『『 You'll be fine, brave man. I'm sure you'll be fine.
f*ck you, ---------!

　---It's like this.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure what to make of .......

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your time with your family.
　--I was already convinced that they were reincarnated.
　In fact, there is no such thing as a machine gun or assault rifle in this world. There is a 100% chance that they are from another world.

I'm not sure what to do. You should be polite here. I'm not like those above me.

　A reincarnated person from another world is not going to respond to an uptight response like that of the Metis Holy Law Divine Kingdom. If that's the case, the best thing to do would be to take the initiative and gradually close the distance through conversation.
　However, Manabu was so upset that his right hand and right foot moved together from nervousness, and to the casual observer, he looked very awkward. Or rather, it was very unnatural.
　Even while he was thinking about it, he had come close to the two men.
　His body stiffened and his mind became a mess, but he still managed to squeeze out his voice.
　And then...

I'm a brave man. I'm a brave man.

　--I called out to him in a tone of voice that sounded like that of some ninja killer.
　He even politely clasped his hands to his chest and bowed his head.
　It's a great way to start off the day, even if you're confused. ....... The person who approached you also seemed to be very confused.
　But--

You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing. I'm sure you'll agree.
I'm not sure what to say.

　--After a pause, he replied in the same way.
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

We'll be back in a bit.

　A little back in time.
　Zeroth and Ad, who had happily intervened with force to destroy the zombies, had defeated most of the moving zombies in a short time and were taking a breather in front of the countless human body parts scattered on the ground.

That was a piece of cake.
I'm not sure what to make of that. That's about right.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it again. You didn't need me, right?
"Oh, you want a hard-fought battle, Ad?　It was a battle where lives were at stake, at least. If you want a battle that is that difficult, then let's have another fight with the Dragon King class.
I'm not saying that much.



　An old man makes fun of Ad while stabbing the arm of a zombie crawling on the ground with his sword.
At the tip of the sword, the zombie's arm was struggling desperately.
　A black mist leaks out from the stab wound, and when it is cut off, the zombie immediately stops working.

The regeneration ability is still temporary. ....... I'm sure that this black mist is the magic itself.
But it's not possessed by a spirit, is it?　I'm not sure what to make of it. What the hell is this fog? ......
It's either the curse itself or the miasma ....... Or both?
In the end, the only thing we don't know is the cause, so what exactly is the culprit?
What is it?

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have.
　Xelloss smokes a cigarette, waving his sword-tipped arm in the air, and tilting his head. When you think about it, it's blasphemy against the dead.

Sometimes I lose control like I did with Sword and Sorcery. How about you, Ad?
"I have a similar problem. It's a little less real,......, but let's get out of here.
That's a good idea. ....... I'm not sure if it's you who looks like a brave man or not.

　In the event that you have any kind of questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　It looks like a tin toy.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. I mean, who wouldn't be a little freaked out after witnessing such a one-sided annihilation?
We're not going to kill you out of hand.
He's the one who has to make that decision, and there's nothing we can do to guarantee his safety at this point.　You can understand why he's wary.
What do you think he wants?
Isn't this a questioning?　What a pain in the ass!

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have. His actions spoke volumes.
　And finally, when he came in front of Xellos and the others, he put his hands together in front of his chest and bowed his head--.

"Good morning, first time. I am a brave man.

　--He said.
　Ad and Xellos exchanged glances.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　It's the way a ninja would start a fight.
No, no, no, it's obvious that we're going to lose if we kill each other here, and he might just be saying hello. I think the usual way here is to return the courtesy with courtesy. And then we'll see how it goes.
"That means .......
"We have no choice but to do the same.
"Really? ......

　A few tenths of a second of eye contact.
　And then--

"Once again, ...... has begun. I'm a reincarnated person.

　--I replied with a greeting.

"Thank you for helping me out of a tight spot. Reincarnator-san: ....... If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to this place?　If you don't mind me asking, I'd like to know.
"It's just a survey, brave man. Recently, a number of mummified bodies have been discovered, and we, a private investigation company, have been asked to help. Well, I can't tell you the name of the client, though.
"Well, well, well, thank you very much for your help. But you know we can't ignore your weapons. If you could just give it to us, we'd appreciate it.
You know that's not possible.　It's obvious that the future of war will turn more disastrous if such a thing is released. We can't give it to your country, especially if it's so ambitious, brave man.
"Of course not! But it's a lie that it's a private company, isn't it, reincarnator? There is no way a single individual can make such a weapon. It's probably .......
"Don't talk about speculation, brave man. Besides, it can't be made in this country anyway. Orichalcon or Damascus steel can be used to make alloys?
"Boo-hoo!

　Orihalcon and Damascus steel are legendary metals that no one has ever seen before.
　In addition, when it comes to alloys, their technological capabilities far exceed the technological level of the Middle Ages. Even I have only seen mithril.
　Assuming that magic makes it possible, it is not something that a religious state that prohibits magic can do. We are at least three hundred years behind in technology.

If possible, I'd like to have the reincarnates join our side.
I'm not sure about the other reincarnations, but I have no intention of joining the Metis Holy God Kingdom. As for the scouts, I'll politely decline.
What are you guys planning to do by causing a technological revolution?　What are you planning to do by causing a technological revolution? If possible, I'd like to know.


"Hahaha, it's the people of this world who will start the technological revolution. It's up to the people of this world to make the technological revolution. I'm just doing what I want as a hobby. Besides, you guys have already made a technological revolution with the flintlock gun. Have you ever thought about what it will bring to this world?
"What?

　Having already created the prototype for mass slaughter, there was no way for Gaku to hold back any longer.
　Flammable explosives could be developed from pharmacology. In particular, nitroglycerin, which is sometimes used in explosives, is an extension of science, and dynamite and other dangerous substances can actually be produced by human hands. The heroes of the world have proven this.
　As the Holy Law Kingdom dislikes mages, a weapon that does not rely on magic is inevitably needed.
　As a result, the gunpowder rifle was researched, but the gunpowder used is knowledge that belongs to the study of physical laws. Such knowledge is the sole domain of mages and alchemists.

"You hate mages, yet you try to fight on the mage's field. Well, you have a very strong spirit of fair play, don't you? You've brilliantly put aside the fact that there's a contradiction there.
I think magic is a much more comprehensible power than something I don't understand.
Magic is nothing but energy. In your world, were you demonstrating that the power produced by nuclear reactors is an unidentified and incomprehensible force and should not be used?　The only difference is whether it is generated artificially or in the natural world, and magic is just a power that follows the laws of this world. There is no such thing as superiority or inferiority.
They're completely different, aren't they?
It's the same. Everything exists within the laws of this world. Isn't what this country is saying a threat to those who learn knowledge, 'Don't study the laws of physics, just obey them'?
"Ugh. ......

　As an academic, I understand what you are saying.
　The technology of magic is much cleaner than nuclear power, and it has the potential to produce electricity without producing radiation. I would like to take the initiative in supporting it.
　But because of his country's position, he had to reject it, and that was a frustrating problem.

I've heard that you guys have been hating on your fellow mage heroes. This is a great way to make sure that you are getting the most out of your money.
"How do you know all this?
I was on my way to ...... a neighboring country when I was attacked by my own kind. I was attacked by your kind on my way to a neighboring country.
You ...... didn't ...... kill Himejima and the others, did you?
They're still alive, right?　Well, they betrayed us.
Betrayed? ...... Why?
The less you know, the better.　You don't want to know, because you never know when they're going to kill you behind your back. Well, he's gonna kill me sooner or later.
...... That's what you're saying?

　I understand what you're saying. I did.
I knew it, but I didn't want to know.
　It means that they are always watching you, ready to take care of you if they find out something you don't want to know. Manabu was aware of this, and he was aware of it.
　However, it was impossible to keep a constant vigilance without knowing where the person who would carry out the assassination was lurking. In the first place, there is no such thing as an assassin when his existence is known.
　There are so many ways to get rid of other people that it is almost impossible to see everything.

It is possible that the ...... Ichijo and his friends have not returned, and that they have already been taken care of.
I'm sure they're working part-time. Tanabe-kun is so extravagant that he has run out of funds for his activities. ....... I heard that they are working as waitresses and dishwashers in a restaurant. I ran into her the other day when I was out shopping and asked her what she was up to.
Oh, those guys... ...... when people are having a hard time.
Oh, by the way, they were eating curry while crying. ......
Curry?　Oh, you have curry?
There is?　Here.

　Old man takes out a leather bag of curry powder from his inventory.
　At that moment, he had a very impersonal smile on his face.

"It's started ...... Zeroth's [fishy peddler] mode.

　Ad, who was watching the whole thing, did not interrupt.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. Yes, rice, soy sauce, miso, and curry.
　As long as trade with the magical kingdom of Solistea has been cut off, there is no way that such trade goods can come into Metis. Soy sauce and miso are absolutely difficult to obtain.

"Hey, bro. You want to buy it?　I'll sell it to you at a reasonable price.
You're not talking like you used to.
Don't worry about it. What do you want to buy?　We also have soy sauce, miso, rice. We've got natto and tofu, too.　If we don't buy it now, who knows when we'll get it?
"......... Kuh, if you buy everything, ------ ---I'm sorry.
Hello?
Hold on a second!



　I ran.
　He ran as hard as he ever had.
　Someone was selling something he wanted but couldn't get, and if he didn't buy it now, he didn't know when he would get it. That's why I ran as fast as I could to the inn.
　Capturing the two reincarnates was impossible from the start, and killing them would be absolutely impossible.
　But they are peddlers, which is good for the heroes, and I don't want the people who hate mages to know about them. There is no reason for us to antagonize the reincarnated, although it is natural that they smell fishy, and above all, it is more advantageous to make friends with them here.
　It was mostly an excuse, but he desperately wanted to eat the food of Earth.
Even if it meant selling his soul to the devil, the current Gaku would sell his soul with impunity. He wanted the taste of home so badly.

...... He really wanted to eat curry, didn't he?
It's natural to miss the taste of home when you've come to another world. I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure what to make of it.　I've never heard of that, Zeroth-san .......
I don't think so.　I think I did say that. Maybe you just forgot.　Well, okay. The Atrum Empire is an ally, and you may be meeting them soon. I don't know.
What's my position at ...... now?
Hmm?　I'm a hired mage for the Kingdom of Issaras, and I'm also a diplomat.　I'm also a handyman for the ...... dukes.
Terrible .......

　After a while, Manabu came back with a yell.
　He was running with all his might, in a desperate manner. He could have collapsed from lack of oxygen at any moment. .......
　It seems that Manabu is so hungry for the taste of home.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.
"You don't have to be this desperate to sell me ...... stuff.
I'm going to starve like this one day ......?　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to be doing and how you're going to do it.

　I'm not sure what to do.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to make of it. I'll provide you with the price, but you'll have to supply the ingredients yourself, okay?
The knights were wondering what was going on.
The knights are probably wondering what's going on. ....... The knights will be wondering what's going on.
They don't know what ...... we're looking for!　The food in this country is ...... hah hah ....... It's so, so bad. Heh heh, now I can eat curry. ......
It's a story that makes me cry. ......

　I felt a little bit of sympathy for the brave man.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for a new way to live. After all, they were the first to look for rice.
　Rice is a different plant from that of Earth, and the spices in curry powder are also different from those of Earth.
　I was prepared to need a lot of patience and persistence to find it, but fortunately, my [appraisal] ability did a good job. Now I am eating Japanese food as usual.

Well, you should get some rest, brave man. You should get some rest. ......
Oh, ......, something is approaching. This is not a human presence.

　Xelloss and Ado sensed the presence of an alien being that they had never felt before.
　The non-living presence sent an unpleasant feeling of dread down their spines and brought them out of their sluggish state and back into a fighting stance. The source of the presence was immediately apparent.
　Someone in a cloak was stumbling out of the grass and coming towards Xelloss and the others.

"Oh, ...... help me, ...... help me, ......
"What?　What's with the ...... vagabond ...... huffing and puffing ......?
"Brave man, does that look like a person to you?
What?　It's ...... a person, no matter how you look at it.　Ugh!
"Did this guy ...... run so fast he made you want to throw up?　I'm not sure how much curry you're hungry for.

　I'm not sure what to do.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, you can call us at our own web site.
　It's not that fast, but the closer you get, the more eerie the atmosphere becomes, and the more wary the Zeros become.

"Help ...... help .......
I'll help you. I'll save you from that pain. Well, you're going to hell. ......
What about ......?

　--Ta-da!

　A hobo-like being makes a stupid noise at Xellos' words.
　At the same time, his head was blown off.
　The old man was pointing the muzzle of the Desert Eagle at him before he knew it. It was a brilliantly quick shot.



"Hey, ----!　Why are you shooting out of nowhere?　Whoa!
I've been running as fast as I can to the point of throwing up, so you can't just suddenly start screaming. ....... I'm not sure what you're talking about, but what the hell were you listening to?　I'll say it again, does that thing look human to you?
"It's a monster no matter how you look at it. It's the same as the zombie. ......
"...... What?

　After hearing the words of the Zeros, he looked again at the vagrant whose head had been destroyed.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　This smell was one that Gaku knew.

"Is this the smell of ...... blood?
"Yes. It's also ...... mixed with the smell of decay.
Something blood-borne,........ I wonder what it is.

　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.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... What the hell? I've never seen a monster like this before!
This is probably what created the zombies. I think it's probably a deadly ...... blood-possession and manipulation. ...... What do you think?
It's the only way to go. The problem is, if this is a Legion. It's a good idea to take a look at the actual information on the web.

　The faces that appeared in the black mist all looked at Xelloss and the others at once.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

"Oh, Honoree...... Yokumo.......
It's a good thing I'm not the only one with a ...... condo, or I'd be all over this guy's body. ......
"Hee hee, don't let us get away from you, you'll be fine.

　It was a normal evil spirit.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　Then he casually pointed his hand at them and said...

"[Diamond Dust]".

　--He unleashed a freeze spell.
　It seems that they don't want to answer questions.

』』』』』
I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure what to do.
The zombies were more trouble than they were worth. Let's just get rid of them and go home.
I'll have to write the report. You want me to write the report?
"Come to think of it, I ...... have terrible handwriting. ....... My grade school evaluation was 'try to write better'. ......
This job ...... you took the initiative to take, right?

　It was unfortunate for the irregular Legion that they ran into Xelloss and the others.
　No matter how many ordinary people he could kill, he would never be able to match these two who were outside the bounds of common sense.
　To Xelloss and Ad, Legion was like a pebble on the road. The Legion easily solidified into a block of ice.

"[Purgatory Flame]".

　Flame magic, 【Purgatory Flame】.
　It's a scorching spell that doesn't stop until it burns the object, and also has the effect of a purification spell.
　It works even if the object is a spirit, and can never be escaped.


It's no use trying to escape.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. You can say that it is hell for the spirits of the dead.

...... That's some dirty fireworks.
No, no, no, they are the dead, so we should have a moment of silence.
After all, what were those spirits trying to do?
Well... I think they wanted to enter the city disguised as refugees and attack people. Well, there's no way to know now.

　The two of them are going at their own pace.
　The reason they can be so natural is because they are either used to rough stuff or they have a strength that separates them.
　I'm glad we're not enemies, I thought to myself.

"......?　There's something a little off about the rest of the cinders.
There's something ...... coming out, is it a spirit?

　The black mist was consumed by the Purgatory flame, but after the flame was extinguished, a glowing sphere was left behind.
　It eventually broke up into numerous pieces and appeared as a humanoid spirit.

Yat...... liberated......
But I don't think ...... I'll ever be able to go to heaven.
Don't use criminals. You'll be taken for a ride.
I'm not going to get rid of my grudge. ....... We have to take revenge on those fake priests.
The resentment they feel for killing us, for summoning us, for using us, will never be forgotten. ......

　The spirits of the dead don't seem to care about Xellos and the others.
　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.



"That thing ...... is the souls of the brave, isn't it?　Is it true that you can't return to the circle of reincarnation?
It looks like you're still suffering even after death. This country has done a terrible thing.
I'm sorry.

　It was a story that the current hero, Gaku, could not ignore.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　Moreover, they could not return to the circle of reincarnation and were still suffering.
If you think about it the other way around, they can be said to be the future of the school - or more accurately, the future of the surviving heroes.

So, let's leave it at that, shall we?
"Well, let's leave it at that. ....... We have no more business in this country, so let's get the hell out of here.
Wait, I have more questions. ......
That's all I've heard. You'll have to figure it out for yourself from there, because it's your problem.
I'm sure we'll meet again at some point. I have no reason to believe that. ......
Oh, and take care of the cleanup. That's your job, right?
"Cleanup? You mean zombie cleanup?　Wait. ......

　The two mages disappeared in front of Gaku's eyes.
　It was probably due to magic, but in a country with no mages, there was no way to know what kind of magic they used. I didn't know enough about magic.

I don't know, but I don't know. Huh~...... you should have cleaned up after yourself anyway.

　What Luna Sark was left with was the remains of what used to be a zombie.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. Some of them are lucky to have retained their shape.
　Sighing, he ordered the knights to start the cleanup.

I have a lot of questions.

　After completing the instructions, Manabu was walking through the streets of Luna Sark with tired feet.
　If possible, he would like to go to the inn and sleep in a warm bed.
　However, as a superior, he still had work to do.

I have to write a report later. I have to write a report after this. Linaly, can you help me?
"No, I can't. I have to go to the lord now to report and alert him. You're not good at talking to authority figures, are you, Manabu?　Will you go to the lord's hall for me?
"...... impossible. I'd rather fill out paperwork than talk to the bigwigs.

　It was supposed to be my first vacation in a long time, but it was ruined by a zombie attack.
　I can't help but curse my bad luck.

"Oh, ......, I've arrived at the inn, but I can't rest. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

　As Manabu continues to whine, he sees two men eating at a table near the window.
　One of them looks like a mercenary, and the other looks like a gray-robed mage.
　I was feeling very bitter at the sight of them working so hard and enjoying the peace behind the scenes. I felt the urge to lash out.

"Manabu-sama, please finish the report now, okay?　I have to give it to my lord.
It's not true...

　The brave man [Manabu Yasaka] cannot rest.
　He walked dejectedly into the inn.
　He did not notice. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with your time.
　Once separated, the hero and the reincarnated passed each other without ever meeting.
　While Gakushu was struggling with the post-mortem report, Xellos and the others made their way back to the Solstice Magic Kingdom later that day.

　As a side note, three days later, after making curry and taking a bite of it, Manabu let out a yell of joy.
　However, it does not matter that he was eaten by priests and holy knights who heard his scream and made him cry.
　It seems that he was born under a star where happiness does not last long.
