There is a word for tranquility before the storm.
It is a certain proverb that there is an eerie silence before all major incidents.
This day was also full of such silence.
"Now, let's begin the summoning ritual."... I think it's okay given the example of Islam, but just be careful. ”
The Musketeer of the Dark Elves, who was guarding the area, nodded in approval.
At the ceremonial site that once produced the queen who controlled all the insects, Atu was about to produce the same heroes as before.
Golden mountains are used this time.
It's part of what I got when I destroyed the Brave Questus Demon King army, but there's enough here to fill up the area.
Summoning Heroes is costly every time.
I spent more than half of that gold in this summon.
I can still afford it, but I can't use it like hot water.
Major members such as Gear and Mortar, Old Emul and the Erfur sisters have not dared to come here.
Vittorio is a plotting hero. Before I could explain the situation, I was wary that it would be unpleasant to be pushed into the air.
― ― Vittorio's abilities were special. Even Atu has no idea what's going to happen.
Therefore, perform the ritual with maximum tension and maximum vigilance.
After she closed her eyes for a while... a change took place in the pile of gold coins.
At first, gold floats out as if the gravity of space has disappeared.
When I think about it, they arc as if they were blown away by a gust of wind, and they gather in a small tornado to the center of the ritual.
The golden vortex gradually increased in density and speed, and eventually turned into a mass.
As a result, the mass of the sphere slowly took on the shape of a human, and suddenly the sound of the glass shattering burst out ─ ─.
"Happy tongue, Vittovorio!" In response to the summoning call, I'm going to pass by today! "
It appeared.
He is over two meters tall. Although it is taller than others, on the other hand, its body is very detailed, and it seems to be a beggar when combined with unhealthy skin tone.
Her hands and feet were unusually long, and her eyes were creepily black and shining.
The clothes worn are chaotic as if the concepts of red, blue, yellow and balance have been left somewhere, and the clothes worn out are wastedly covering the upper body, and the overall balance is distorted.
A hat with a strange design on its head.
And most of all --- it was as if the nose stretched as if it could not conceal the false root, and the beard of a foolish design stretched as if it mocked others, telling the truth about what kind of hero the hero was.
As the Dark Elf Musketeer's breath leaks, Atu gazes at him and observes his movements.
Eventually, a new hero - Vittorio, in a glorious manner, performs a gift used by an aristocrat called Bow and Scrape, who raises his gaze and shifts his interest to a group that welcomes him.
"Ooh, hey?"
A deliberately stunned attitude.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey?"
Deliberate bewilderment.
All of them irritated Atu and made him feel alert.
He is exactly Vittorio. She was summoned, and it must have been a hero she knew.
That's why it's so troublesome and unpredictable.
I will be your great lord, and control the darkness of the abyss without you?
First of all, Atu was relieved by the fact that the word came.
As I had already experienced in Islam, I was just a little uneasy about his perception of Takedou as his master.
No, it's too early to take it easy.
It is unknown what kind of thoughts the odd man who is still observing the area with a spooky smile is holding in his head.
Rather, it is natural to think that we are still plotting against the backdrop of that light and careless smile.
But the race has already been thrown. It is the policy of Atu to resort to his help, and it is already the policy of what needs to be done.
That is, an explanation of the current situation and a request for cooperation to him.
With a little nervousness, Atu never opens his mouth, nostalgic for the chaos that will surely arise.
"Thank you for coming, Vittorio. I will explain about Takudo-san."
"This is it! This is it!" Atu, it's not you! My sympathy for your impoverished appearance... bufuu! I-I can't forbid you! * giggle *! "
Incitement came first-hand.
Atu ignores the words as he flashes the blue of his temple.
Even if I was so angry, I couldn't face Takudu, who would eventually wake up.
What is important now is the safety of Takudo above all else, and that he is heading for the right direction.
In other words, the pride and anger that Atu has in this place is worthless.
Advancing the story is the ultimate goal and ultimately the benefit of Takedou.
That said, what was said about the impoverished minister was a hunger that would make him take a firm crack later on...
"I will discuss the current situation of Takudo-sama and this world with all the extra chatter I will think about later."
"Hmm? Atu-kun..." Then please go ahead? "
Vittorio puts his hand on his chin and twists his eyebrows... to encourage him to talk like he was unwilling.
The dishonest attitude around it has been assumed and does not move my heart as much as it seems.
On the contrary, Atu was slightly surprised that his incitement had come to such an end.
Apparently, as Vittorio, I wanted to get some information as soon as possible.
It was surprising that he had so much reason to worry about the safety of his master, Takudo, but for the time being, it was good to decide that he had broken through the first encounter.
“Let me explain. It will be a little longer, but please listen. First of all, the story goes back to the time we came to this world."
Dark Elf Musketeers are here, so we can't talk about previous lives or the Eternal Nations.
While choosing his words carefully, Atu explained the events that had happened to him and Takudou since coming to this world and the battles he was currently involved in.
………
……
…
"That's because you guys are incompetent." Do your job properly, you poor milk. "
”-Guuuuuu!”
It was precisely this that there was no noise.
Atu has no objection to the harsh language either. No, I couldn't argue.
Because Vittorio's words are true to every word, and their helplessness is exactly what makes this situation.
What is the matter with you if you do not protect the king? Atu felt guilty.
Not to be defended, but to be defended.
I was obviously powerless to call myself the hero of Takudo.
"Ahh! Tact-sama, pathetic!" I have to protect these incompetents, Tact-sama. Poor thing! Besides, you're wasting your time paying for it, and you're lying on the floor! Hey, hey, hey! But the great king of darkness, Ira-Tact! You've sinned one more time! That's the first choice of heroes you'll ever call! Well, who really needed a hero? Yes! This Vittorio! "
After a long speech, Atu became even more irritated.
But with her, I'm not going to get angry with the Dark Yadow and put them at the opponent's pace.
Just take a deep breath and stay calm until you're not going to get in that hand.
"For now, let's accept your point with spite." Above all, it is of the utmost importance that you get well from Takudo-sama. Vittorio... we don't know how to reclaim your help. lend me your wisdom and your ability. "
"Hmmm? Atu is such a winner for you!" I'm a bit boring! "
Could it be that the words were meant only to make fun of Atu?
When Vittorio knew that Atu wasn't coming, he showed an overt depression, crouched down, and began a truly boring earthwreck.
But all of a sudden...
"Ah! I've come up with something good!" Fuck, it wasn't -- oh, yeah. Indeed, the situation of our king, Ira = Tact, is a national tragedy that cannot be overlooked. Vittorio, for Tact's sake, let's deal with this problem with your whole body and make sure to restore the king's heart! Leave it to me, Atu-kun! This Vittorio! Don't worry, I'll take care of everything! I'm serious already. "
"... thank you very much"
Atu had no choice but to reply.
In the meantime, I managed to ask him to find a means of recovering from Takudou as originally planned...
The scent of a frivolous con artist drifting from the edge of the word only made Atu uneasy.
◇◇◇
It was since Vittorio joined the Miñogura.
After his fierce encounter with Takudu, who had fallen into the amnesia to which he aspired, he also finished showing his face to the main figures of Minogula...
Then it was really bad stomach and mental days to attack Mynogura, who wanted to show off his work immediately.
Gahhh! Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnhnnnnnnnnnnhnnnnnn
One day.
It was when Emul, who eventually gained the status of a township of Minogurra, was being chased to the point where he no longer knew what his position was.
Vittorio, who appeared from nowhere, peeked into the paperwork she was putting together.
"Huh!... er, I'm summarizing what happened earlier."
Emul unexpectedly appeared without any indication, but managed to give him an answer.
To be honest, she didn't like this strange hero with a spooky smile on her face, but she couldn't ignore the relationship that Takudu had been given the important task of finding a way to resurrect herself.
Try to deal with it while keeping calm.
"Ho ho ho!? It's a report, isn't it?" Now, if you'll excuse me for a moment and take a look... "
On the other hand, Vittorio grabbed Emul's documents in his possession in a mess and began to read them from one end to the other.
"Hm ~. Huh... eh!?" Ah. Oh, I see. suhhhhhhh
I sighed openly.
Vittorio's heroic pestilence and bewilderment are much more unpleasant to hear than those who have already suffered.
In addition, there was advice from Atu, so I was initially thinking of asking her to pick it up as appropriate.
However, if you take such an attitude in front of the reports and records summary documents that you have spared no effort to make while you are sleeping, you will inadvertently slip your mouth.
Um, what is it?
"No, hey? Anything?" No, no, everything? It's just... well... right? "
"Why are you so embarrassed!?"
It was the limit of my patience.
Even if I knew it was a provocation, it wouldn't hold me back.
That should be the case. There was no such thing as a transcendental personality breaker in Mynogulla, and there was no such thing as a Dark Elf tribe.
Looking back on all of his life so far, the only elf elders sometimes cast hateful words, but compared to the odd man in front of them, it is also equal to childplay.
Despite Emul, the people of Mainogula have never encountered anyone so extreme and troublesome before.
In a sense, the inhabitants of Minogula are in the midst of a trial that will test their patience.
And Emul's trial began ignoring his will.
Low consciousness, low consciousness.
Yes, consciousness?
"What kind of a vision for work is that?" "I don't think you have enough enthusiasm..." I can't feel it from you. The Hungry spirit of becoming an opinion leader in the industry in this job. What is it? You don't understand the basics in the first place, you're not enough. Hmm, is this a mentor's problem? No, I guess I'm still not in a student mood? "
As if water were flowing to the standing plate, a turbulence, incitement, and ridicule swept through Emul.
Although some of them, or most of them, were unknown words to her, it was easy to understand that they were being made a fool of.
This is the laughter of Niyanya, who stares at us deliberately.
I had no other intention than to make a fool of myself.
"So, what exactly should I do?" I would love to hear from you! "
Emul's voice is rough. It is unusual for a calm, rational girl to reveal her emotions so far.
But that attitude was what Vittorio had been waiting for.
“Think about that for yourself. You're a social worker, aren't you?"
”Hah!? - Ku, kuuuuuu!!”
It was enough to make Emul's face bright red with anger.
"Hee! I'm mad at you, so don't come any closer." Oh, my God! Farewell! "
Are you satisfied with the attitude or are you tired of making fun of it?
Having thoroughly enjoyed Emul's expression, Vittorio vanished somewhere just as he had come to spit out a deliberate dialogue.
Staring at his later figure, Emul merely clenched his teeth regretfully.
………
……
…
And another day.
The target is the Dark Elves' Warrior Corps. He was led by Gear, who was struggling daily to build up more research for the king and the king.
"Oh no! The Dark Elves are armed with firearms provided by Tact!" That's brilliant! "
Suddenly again, the man appeared.
Although they were training, it was only because they were training that they were alert that they approached unnoticed.
The Warlord's Gear responds to him as he tries to figure out what method he used.
"Yes, thanks to the king and the weapons of the kingdom of God, we have become more powerful than ever." I work harder every day to become the sword and shield of the king. ”
Takuto-sama's safety would be perfect too...!
"Grrr!... that's it!"
Gear's words lose their momentum and confidence.
Already Vittorio has a rough idea of everything that has happened in Minogula.
If so, this point is also deliberate, and of course the reason is to dislike it.
It was a gear that Atu-san told me to watch out for, but I decided to be ready for it.
"I'm cumming. I'm cumming..."
But for some reason, Toro's Vittorio suddenly started to cry with a pathetic voice, nodding to the spot while holding his chest down.
"Hmm!? What have you done, Lord Vittorio?"
In this way, you must speak up as a gear.
Atu told me to ignore it as much as possible, but I have to show that I'm worried about just the shape here. It's related to my trust as the leader of the Warrior Corps, and above all, it's important if I'm really injured or sick.
"I was worried about that..."
It hurts that Gear Warrior didn't protect me.
"Huh? What the hell does that mean..."
"We speak for the king."
Vittorio's dampness was a summation of his care, and he threw it somewhere.
"It hurts. It hurts... I'm going to die like this." Because someone didn't protect me, I'm dying lightly. "
"Oh, my God, that is! I will not allow you to insult the king!"
"I'm insulting you, not the king."
I get up properly and throw my words out with a straight face.
Gear's anger grew faster and faster as a result of the slowdown. What did this man come to Mi 'Nogula for?
What do you want to think about that brings disharmony to the country without fulfilling your responsibilities?
I heard that he likes to provoke and provoke others with his inflammatory temperament, but this is too harsh.
No matter how important this hero is in healing the king, it could even lead to the collapse of the country.
Best of all... I don't think such a person can save the king.
Gear was beginning to feel that in some cases it was even necessary to have some kind of readiness for Vittorio.
"It is true that our ingratitude has created the situation of the king." The stigma can never be dispelled. But you weren't there. Is Lord Vittorio going to say that? In the first place, isn't it proof that the King hasn't trusted you that you haven't been summoned before? "
It's murderous.
Unlike Emul, Gear is not so friendly or self-controlled as to remain silent and shivering with anger.
On the contrary, even though I haven't even produced results yet, I couldn't pull them off when I was told that I liked them so much.
The same is true of the Dark Elf warriors who were listening to the stories around them, and at once the scene was swallowed up by the sword.
With all the rage of such dark elves, what kind of attitude did Vittorio have...?
"Huh! Huhhhhhh!!"
I took a pathetic and magnificent throne on the spot.
"Oh, forgive me!" I didn't think you'd be so angry! Even if you don't usually work, and the king can't protect you, there's only pride in front of you! I didn't even dream of this Vittorio! "
Even as I rubbed my head against the ground, I didn't like the attitude that stroked me.
Vittorio knew that the Gear Dark Elves were proud and could not slay those who sat down and begged for forgiveness.
Even if it was just a formality.
In this way, a strong sense of mistrust and repellency was born for Vittorio.
Of course, this is not just about them.
Almost without exception, the inhabitants of Miñogura were baptized by Vittorio and made to reveal their feelings.
Does this mean anything to you? Or is it just his hobby...? "
Vittorio's damage spread rapidly as the wind blew wherever his important mission was to help Takudo recover.
◇◇◇
Takudo has now lost his memory, making it impossible for him to rule as a king at all.
So the words of protest and dissatisfaction come to Atu.
Atu in the sludge was pushed to his desk with a look of pride that was telling him where his pride was as a hero.
"Oh, it's better than I expected. It was more troublesome than I expected....."
I got it from you...
"The sweets the king gave me before, I took them with me..."
With an indescribable smile, Atu pulls his cheeks back to the Erfur sisters who are puffing up their cheeks next to him.
Victims one and two of today's Vittorio.
At first glance, it seems to be a calm gateway to other people, but it is different.
Vittorio chooses the harassment that will be most troubling, knowing that his sisters are still mentally young, and that there are some areas where they are lacking in discernment and judgment.
In addition, in the worst form, I took the sweets I had received directly from the king, whom my sisters secretly cherished.
It was good because this was the day, but if it were to be drowned in the night of the full moon, it would undoubtedly have rained a rain of blood on Mynogula.
Of course it was Vittorio's blood.
However, it was clear that the crime would have been committed in the daytime with all the knowledge...
When I turned away from the Erfur sisters, there were Old Mortar and Warlord Gear.
Other clerks that are commonly seen are usually not very involved residents of the Dark Elves.
There are even units derived from Minoguera, such as brain eater and human modki.
All of these people are here with an appeal to Atu.
Of course, there is only one content. Do something about the stranger who has no brain but to make trouble with others without doing the job.
I can't help it.
Once you hit me as hard as you can, will you listen to me?
Even though she knew it was useless, Atu thought of a way to silence Vittorio while still holding his head.
Of course, no matter how much I think about it, no answer comes out. If there is such a convenient way in the first place, it is because Atu has already done it.
With that in mind, the trouble was even more dramatic.
Oh, my God!
It was Emul who was in a panic.
Yesterday, I heard a lot of stupid things, but did you get harassed again? Atu thought, but frowned apparently something went wrong with his panicked appearance.
“What's the matter? Yo, what's up, Vittorio?"
"I'm leaving..."
“How's it going?
Before my head understood, my voice leaked.
"I think I left the city and went somewhere on my own!"
"Haa!?"
Atu screams unexpectedly frantically.
Vittorio always exceeds her expectations.
"That's also in a bad direction..." I should have known, but I completely forgot.
No, I knew it, but I was blind.
I had a hopeful observation that this would not happen.
But reality is ruthless.
Problems that were covered naturally erupt and develop into havoc around them.
Something terrible happens.
With that hunch, Atu felt an unpleasant dull pain in his stomach.
