88 Episode 88




 It was a few years ago.
 In a village, there lived a young girl with her mother.

 Her mother had told her strongly that she must never go outside the house on the night of the full moon.
 She had been strongly told by her mother never to go out of the house on the night of the full moon.

 One day, however, the girl broke that rule.
Her friend, a boy, said, "Don't worry," and took her out of the house on the night of the full moon.

 For the first time in her life, she saw a beautiful full moon... and then the tragedy happened.

 When she came to, the boy who took her out was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
 The girl's mouth and fingernails were streaked with bright red blood.

 Adults who heard the screams rushed to the scene and the boy survived.

 However, as the mother hugged and protected the girl, many abusive words and stones were thrown at her.

 Children who were friends of the girl also threw hatred and fear at the girl, calling her a "monster" and a "monster.

 The mother took the girl in her arms and ran away from the village.

 Eventually, they arrived at a house deep in the mountains in the middle of nowhere, a battered hut that had been abandoned, and they began to live there.

 The girl's mother tells her about a "curse" that she was born with.

 It is the curse of lycanthropy.
 The girl's father was a werewolf, and the girl herself has inherited his blood and curse.

 The girl who carries the curse of bestialization in her body loses her reason when she is bathed in the light of the full moon, and becomes a monster that gives in to the urge for violence and killing.

 When the girl learned of this, she became lonely.
 The child, who wanted to play with her friends, stopped associating with people other than her mother.

 A few years later, when her mother became ill and died, she went to the city to work in a bakery, but she did not try to get involved with people any more than necessary.

 Because I'm a monster.
 You can't make friends in the human world.

 The bright and friendly girl she was when she was a child is no longer with her.
 A lonely girl, hiding in the shadows, living alone.

 But inside her, a longing is gradually born.

 I wish that one day I could be in a place where the sun is shining and people can see me. .......

 Even though she knows that this is a wish she shouldn't have, her desire grows stronger every day...

 One day, a girl meets a young man.
 One day, a girl meets a young man and the three girls he has with him.

 That encounter will change her fate forever.


 Hello!


 Hello there.
 I'm Brett, a teacher at the Lit Village Academy for the Brave.

 I'm a teacher at the Rit Village Brave Academy.

 There's Rio, a boyish girl who's a genius with a sword.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

 And then there's Maifa, a mischievous girl with a talent for offensive magic that is second to none.

 In addition, as a bonus, a female demon king hunter named Cecilia, who is one of the best in the world, happens to be living with us as a housekeeper, but that's okay.

 My current concern is the issue of money.

 But it's not that I don't have enough money.
 On the contrary, since I have plenty of money, my concern is how to spend it.

 The other day we were involved in killing a vampire lord, and we received a large reward from the heroes' guild.
 I'm currently thinking about how to use it effectively.

 The first thing I've decided is to stock up on some potions to restore magic power as insurance in case of trouble.
 This is a lesson I learned from my last quest.

 Next, buy each of your pupils a call spell.
 Calling spells are not something you would normally give each child, but they are one of the most inexpensive and widely used magic items in society, and are a necessity for any professional demon hunter.

 But even with all these purchases, more than 80%, maybe even 90%, of the reward I received remains.

 And my students are also brave men and women who have reached the level of full-fledged bravery, or even far beyond full-fledged bravery.
 But I've always been concerned that their equipment has been so crappy.

 The weapons that they are currently using are the bare minimum of common weapons that I bought them when I first met them.
 They don't wear anything resembling proper armor, and their equipment consists of little more than sturdy clothing.

 In other words, his equipment is not commensurate with his ability.

 It's unlikely that you'll encounter an S-rank Demon Lord like the Vampire Lord, but you never know when you'll encounter a powerful enemy, so if you can afford it, you'd better strengthen your equipment.

 Competent Demon Lord hunters often use the rewards they earn from their daily activities to purchase expensive and powerful magic item weapons and armor, and use them as their own personal armor.

 The sword I usually use is also a high-class item with a certain amount of magic power, and Cecilia's armor, shield, and sword are also first-class items made of a lot of expensive magic metal.

 So...

 One morning at our residence, which had been given to us as a teacher's residence at the Academy for the Brave.

 After enjoying a delicious breakfast prepared by Cecilia, I said to my three pupils: "So.

"So... Rio, Iris, and Maifa. I'm going to go get some weapons and armor for you guys.

""Yay!"

 The three pupils cheered when they heard my words.

"The shortsword that my brother bought me has been spilling out badly lately. I've been wanting a new one.

I'm hoping to find some new weapons and armor ...... that are pretty.

I'd like to get a new weapon and armor ...... that's pretty." "...... brother, I want cool gear. Just by looking at ......, the enemy will tremble.

 Rio, Iris and Maifa said.
 They all look like they're having fun.

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

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

I guess so. If you want to buy for three people, I think it's better to go directly to Ravilton, the city of art. It has the best selection, and since it's the starting point for distribution, the goods are relatively inexpensive.

"Right. Well, we're going out, so Cecilia-san can take a break from housework for a while. We're going out, so Cecilia-san can take a break from housework for a while and you can relax at your leisure.

I'm sorry that I won't be able to take care of everyone for a while, but I can't help it if the master gives the order. But I'm guarding this house, so you can always come back when you've finished your business.



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

 This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your money.
 I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you.

 Also, before I knew it, she was treating me like a "master".

 I'm afraid that the current Cecilia will do anything I want if I want her to. ...... Well, that's beside the point.

Well, I'm off for a bit. All three of you, start preparing for your journey.

"Yes, sir.

 And so my three students and I set off for Ravilton, the city of artisans or the city of art.

 It took about a week of riding in a carriage.

 It was well past dusk when we arrived at our destination, Ravilton, just as the world was beginning to fall into darkness.

 As we were waiting at the gate of the city to be checked in, Rio tugged at the hem of my dress and pointed to the sky.

What's up, bro?

"...... What's up, Rio?

"Look at that, the moon. It's almost a full moon.

Oh, that's right.

 This is a great way to make sure you are getting the most out of your time with your family and friends.



 But I didn't know that at the time.

 But what I didn't know at the time was that the moon Rio was pointing to would play a major role in the events we were about to encounter. .......
