Episode 29

Episode 29. The Clown, the Hero, and the Parrot (11)

The puzzle in front of you is a sliding puzzle.

Use the empty space to move the puzzle and match shapes or numbers.

A basic puzzle that can also be called a pure puzzle.

The puzzle moved at high speed.

“Zero-kun, you can’t move as you please. In times like this, you need to stay calm… … .”

“Hehe, isn’t it a fun puzzle? “I can’t leave you to do something fun like this by yourself.”

“This is something you can do for fun… … uh… … ?”

Rodelin could not finish speaking.

This may be because the level of completeness of the puzzle is gradually increasing.

After completing about 90% of it, I crossed my arms and muttered.

“hmm… … That end is the problem. I think we need to change the order of the three symbols… … .”

“Zero-kun, this is… … !”

As soon as she responded, Rodelin’s hands became busy.

Actually it’s easy. If you spin the three patterns around, they will fit together.

Click-.

Rattling-.

“The door is open!”

“Seo, long live senior!”

Luna and Raimon cheered.

Rodelin smiled awkwardly and waved at them.

“Zero, I’m sorry. Actually, this is the problem you solved… … .”

“Hehe, it’s okay. I really didn’t know. “If it wasn’t for my senior, I would have given up there.”

“Well, it’s not a good habit to give up. Let’s make progress starting from today.”

The warm atmosphere did not last long.

Because another door appeared before my eyes.

“… … Is it a quiz this time?”

The door was written full of demonic language.

To the right of it were three levers of different colors.

If the first trial was a puzzle, the second trial was a quiz.

It was an easy quiz if you could interpret demon language.

“It’s a blue, gray, and black lever.”

“The problem written on the door… … I’m not sure. There are words for white and black… … .”

Was it something that reminded me of the Demon Archeology class?

Rodelin began to sweat.

“It’s difficult. There must be a scholar skilled in demon archeology… … .”

“When colors are mixed at a ratio of 9 white and 1 black, pull the lever of the color that appears.”

“Right. Was it that kind of problem? Then of course it’s gray… … ?”

Rodelin jerked her head towards me.

I also turned my head towards her.

A surprised expression, different from his usual solemn expression.

It was cute.

“Zero-kun, do you know demon language?”

“Hehe, I’m personally interested. “I know a little, very little.”

In fact, it’s not just a little bit, it’s a master.

[Translation] The skill even interprets demonic language.

Well, even if I didn’t have the skill, it wouldn’t have been much of an obstacle for me since I knew the answer in advance.

“I see. “I was lucky.”

Rodelin tilted her head as if something was strange.

When I pulled down the gray lever, the door opened slightly with a deep sound.

At the same time, everyone except me trembled.

“Magi… … ! “Is there really a devil?”

Rodelin grabbed my collar and pulled me back.

what. Did everyone feel it except me?

There is no such thing as bullying.

“… … Let everyone stay here. “I will kill you and come back soon.”

“that! Are you saying you want to go alone, senior?”

“Miss Luna, the devil is actually not that strong. “If you’re at my level, you can get rid of them in one go.”

But everyone here knew.

What Rodelin said was a lie.

“We will fight together!”

“I know how you feel, but waiting for rescue is the best chance of survival… … .”

“We are also academy students! You said it earlier. “For a student at Annwood Academy, such an ordeal is nothing!”

“Miss Luna… … .”

“Well, I’ll do my best too! It won’t be of much help, but… … .”

“Raymon… … .”

What the hell. There is no particular new wave.

I would appreciate it if you could leave me out as much as possible… … .

“Thank you everyone. “I think Zero feels the same way.”

yes?

“I forgot for a moment. “You are also academy students who proudly passed the fierce entrance exam.”

Hey, can’t you hear me?

“Let’s go together. Instead, the vanguard is my responsibility.”

… … hmm. I guess I don’t have the right to veto.

Well, since I was the key to this strategy, I had no intention of leaving it out.

“What should I do with Raymon’s weapon?”

“Well, I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to use my sword sheath.”

Raimon exchanged(?) for 1 gold from his grandmother.

Currently, he was not carrying a weapon.

I would never have imagined that I would go on an adventure to find the devil.

“Raymon, please use this.”

“huh? Ha, but then zero… … .”

“Hehe, I have separate weapons.”

After handing Raimon my sword, I put my hand into my bosom.

Subspace. There, something elongated gradually appeared.

Everyone’s eyes widened. Even parrots.

because… … .

“Mop… … ?”

“Hehe, that’s right. “He’s a very big, big(?) good guy.”

“… … .”

No one responded to my boast.

They just gave me strange looks and chattered amongst themselves.

Why do you do that? This is a really good weapon.

“… … I don’t know if I need to ask, but I’ll ask out of courtesy. “Why are you bringing it up now?”

“Hehe, that’s a secret.”

“… … .”

Luna’s body was shaking and she was trying to spit out something.

But I persevered. He must have realized that that is not the case now.

Someone came up and held my hand.

It was Raimon. He was shedding tears.

“Well, because of me… … You are making a sacrifice. What the hell did I say… … .”

It’s not like that.

This is my real weapon, and a new strategy to attack the devil’s side.

“I will definitely protect it. “I will keep zero, so don’t worry!”

Raymon shed tears like chicken shit, as if he was truly moved.

I whispered softly to him.

“Raymon, please raise your sword with your left hand.”

“yes? “Why, why?”

That’s you.

Because I’m left handed.

In fact, Raimon didn’t even know he was left-handed.

He just did it because other children held swords in their right hands.

Without knowing it, he plays with enemies and allies until the middle of the episode.

The true origin is pure evil itself.

“Hehe, trust me. “We’re best friends, right?”

“Yes, yes! that’s right. “We’re best friends, so I’ll fight with my left hand even if I die!”

So everyone got ready to fight.

Rodelin was the vanguard and the others stood behind him.

‘Actually, I’d like to form a formation… … .’

In addition to the puzzle, I solved the demon language.

It’s okay now, but once the situation is over, Rodelin’s suspicions will begin to grow.

Considering the new ‘strategy’ I created, Rodelin’s suspicions will become even more certain.

So, in the middle of a fight, we form a formation and share strategies.

‘If you just pretend you have good eyes and brains, everything will work out.’

Raimon, who wasn’t planned, has been added, so this should be okay.

“Then I will go. “Everyone, please come to your senses.”

Everyone responded by nodding their heads.

bang!

Rodelin, who was controlling her breathing, kicked down the door and rushed out.

We followed behind him.

“Left, right, above, nothing! The front… … !”

Everyone was watching without having to say anything.

A pitch-black sphere so pitch-black that it takes away your vision. Tendons fluttering on top of it.

It’s a sight that makes you feel nauseous just by looking at it.

“… … egg?”

black eggs. And the bottom was stained dark red.

Similar to the erosion seen in textbooks.

“… … corrosion!”

The confirmation ended with Rodelin’s remarks.

At the same time, the black egg stirred greatly.

The tendon was torn, creating a large straight split in the middle, and a huge eye was revealed.

A being created during an erosion experiment.

The devil’s piece has revealed itself.

Parrot’s Diary #3

It was one day when I was playing with Luthers.

“Oh right. “Your friend hasn’t been there yet, right?”

“there?”

“It’s a place called the Tomb of the Holy Sword. “It’s the place where the hero died while fighting the great evil.”

Be a warrior.

He was what people called a hero.

I got interested. Because Luther’s dream was to be a hero.

“let’s go! play! let’s go!”

“Hehe, I thought a friend would say that.”

We arrived at the place where the holy sword was.

Indeed, although it is a little old, it is an item that exudes noble energy.

There is a legend that it is not chosen because it is a warrior’s item.

“Someday, I will pick up a sword like this and kill the devil… … huh?”

Mugwort-.

Luthus, holding the holy sword in his hand, made eye contact with me.

Don’t look at me like that. Am I more absurd than you right now?

that is… … Why are you chosen?

At the same time.

“Aaaahhh!”

The floor disappeared and Luthus disappeared into the darkness.

* * *

Eggs as black as pitch black.

Contrasting bright yellow irises and vertically split black pupils.

It looked exactly like the devil’s piece in the game.

‘Seeing it in person, it’s grotesque.’

The thick tendons that pulsated periodically made the bizarre feeling even greater.

Rodelin did not rush in right away.

This may be due to the lack of information about the opponent, but it devises an efficient attack method based on its appearance.

Because this is the basis of fighting.

“Is it an egg… … There are signs of erosion around it. “There’s no need to approach first.”

The opponent, presumed to be a devil, is in the form of an egg.

There is no sign of even a movement to roll, let alone arms and legs.

This means that there is currently no way to attack this side from the other side.

“Even if it takes time, it would be better to throw.”

This was when everyone except me nodded their heads in agreement.

A piece of the devil swept over us, and a voice like scraping metal rang out.

“Someone said, ‘Are they mortals again? “Whether before or now, your weakness is still the same.”

Although it has a body structure without a mouth, it appears to be capable of speech.

That was when the guy’s eyes, which were looking around, turned to me.

“hmm? What are you? It feels kind of familiar… … What a human. “It’s bizarre.”

“… … .”

“I needed an explanation of what happened while I was recovering, but it went well. You guys, stay away for a while. “I will postpone the disposition.”

Rodelin, Luna, and Raymon glanced at me.

It’s probably because everyone felt it. I feel it in the voice that sounds like scraping metal.

‘Friendliness.’

He just said that, and his intention was to save me.

He was showing that level of friendliness.

Tatak-.

Rodelin moved slightly in her seat.

It was a position where I could keep both myself and the devil’s side in check at the same time.

It was a situation that needed an explanation, but I was reluctant to say anything. because.

‘This is the first time I’ve heard this line.’

This means that the hidden piece was activated for some reason.

It may not be because of the challenge in Episode 1. Because there were people who often challenged me before.

then.

‘Is it because of my characteristics?’

[Ominous energy] The impression of skill and narrowed eyes.

Although it is unpleasant to the general public, it may be liked by those with evil tendencies.

‘No, I’m sure.’

come. The feeling of stagnant water comes to me.

How should we act in front of people with ‘evil tendencies’ to achieve good results?

“Hehe, nice to meet you. You are a piece of the devil. ‘He’ sent me to you.”

Then again.

It tastes good only when you use it.
