After that, both Leticia and the female clerk left the guest room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Only Hakuchen, Sixteen Nights, Asuka, Yao, Black Rabbit, Jen, Stanley, White Yasha, and the Pointed Hat Elf are currently on site.

Occupying the center of the guest room, the White Yaksha propped his elbows on the table and delivered in a very earnest voice:

"So, everyone, let's start the first meeting of how to make Black Rabbit's referee costume more sexy and cute......"

"Veto."

"Yes."

"Veto!"

"Meow~"

"Pro~"

"No!!"

The foolish Sixteen Nights and Bai Chen seconded Hakuyasha's proposal, but Black Rabbit immediately refused.

Asuka, who felt a little unbearable at the conversation between the three people and the cat, suddenly remembered her bright red dress.

"By the way, the Black Rabbit's costume is the White Yaksha, are you in charge of matching it? And the red dress I'm wearing? ”

"Wow! Sure enough, I gave her clothes? The black rabbit also likes that dress, but it is not suitable for the black rabbit after all. Anyway, since you have those beautiful legs......"

"That dress was rejected because of the special fetishes of Lord White Yasha. People thought the dress was cute...... That's why I think it's a shame to put it in the closet. Luckily, Miss Asuka, you're a good fit for red. ”

"Hee-hee, thank you. The clothes that the black rabbit usually wears are also very suitable for you. ”

After the bird thanked him, the black rabbit let out a "hmm" and showed a complicated expression.

White Yaksha begins to get into the subject with a thief grin:

"Okay, let's put aside the costume for now. Actually, I would like to ask Black Rabbit to be the referee for the final that starts tomorrow. ”

"Oops? Is this really an abrupt commission, is there any reason? ”

"Hmm. Because of the commotion you caused, the fact that Moon Rabbit was here was made public, so the audience's expectation of seeing Moon Rabbit in the Gift Game starting tomorrow has also risen. Now that the news of the arrival of the 'Hakoniwa Noble' has spread, of course, you can only make an appearance. So I hope you can officially take over the task of referee and host, and I will also prepare another payment. ”

I see~ everyone understands the situation.

"People get it. Then tomorrow's referee and host of the game will be in charge of Black Rabbit. ”

"Well, thanks...... Then as for the referee's outfit, wear that translucent black sexy vest dress woven with lace......"

"Veto."

"Yes."

"Veto!"

"Meow~"

"Pro~"

"Completely vetoed! Ah~ Really! Please be a little more measured, Mr. Sixteen Nights! Mr. Bai Chen! ”

Seeing that the sixteenth night and Bai Chen were making trouble, the black rabbit lost his temper with his rabbit ears upside down.

On the other hand, Yao, who was originally working as a translator, suddenly asked Hakuyasha a question

"White Yaksha, what kind of community will I fight against tomorrow?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you that. The organizers' disclosure is not fair, right? The only thing I can tell you is the name of the community. ”

Syllable! White Yasha snapped his fingers.

Then the parchment that appeared in the game venue during the day reappeared, and the same article appeared.

Seeing the name of the community written on it, Asuka's eyes widened in surprise.

"Willo'wisp and Rattenfanger?"

"Hmm. Although rare, both of these communities come from the six-digit outer gate, that is, the upper class, and it is not wrong to think that the other party is a higher level. Although I can't say more, I recommend that you be mentally prepared first. ”

After listening to Hayasha's stern advice, Yao nodded.

On the other hand, Sixteen Nights stared at the "contract document" and smiled restlessly.

"Oh...... [Rattenfanger]? I see, the community of 'rat trappers'? So tomorrow's enemy, simply put, is Hamel's flute clown? ”

Hey? Asuka replied in surprise.

However, her voice was drowned out by the exclamations of the Black Rabbit and the White Yaksha sitting beside her.

"Do you mean ...... 'Piper of Hamel'?"

"Wait, what's going on? Be careful, boy. ”

Seeing the two of them so surprised, Sixteen Nights couldn't help blinking again and again.

White Yaksha lowered his voice and told the specific background of the question:

"Oh, I'm sorry, but you didn't know about it when you were recently summoned - the so-called 'Pied Piper of Hamel' is the name of a community affiliated with a demon king."

"What?"

"The community name of the Demon King is Grimmgrimoire. It was a community of demons led by a wizard summoner who had summoned demons from more than two hundred magic books. ”

"And it can summon multiple demons from a magic book. In particular, it is important to note that even the different world backgrounds of each of the chapters in the magic book are included. Everything in the magic book has clearly formulated rules and coercive power in the form of a game board, and it is an extremely powerful demon king. ”

"Oh~~?"

Sixteen Nights' eyes shone with a sharp light. Black Rabbit goes on to explain:

"However, the Demon King must have passed away after losing a game of boon with a certain community...... But Mr. Sixteen Nights, you just said that Rattenfanger is the 'Piper of Hamel'. People don't know much about fairy tales, so just in case, I hope you can give me some pointers. ”

The nervous expression of the black rabbit must have been a warning of the situation in case the demon king appeared.

After thinking for a while, Sixteen Nights showed an expression that suddenly thought of some mischief, and reached out and grabbed Ren's head.

"I see, I understand the situation. In that case, let's ask our little adults to explain. ”

"Huh? Ah, yes. ”

All eyes are on Jen. Although Ren had already agreed, he was nervous because the topic suddenly came to him. Sixteen Nights pulled Jen's head toward him and whispered to him:

“…… Your opportunity to perform has come so quickly, show results. ”

"Yes...... Yes! ”

Ren coughed, flattened his loose robe, and then slowly began to narrate:

"[Rattenfanger] is the language spoken in a country called Germany, which means 'rat catcher'. And this rat catcher is actually a metaphor for "The Pied Piper of Hamel", one of Grimm's fairy tales. ”

Everyone nodded, and Jen continued:

"In the original Grimm's fairy tales, there were several stages for the creation of stories, all of which refer to historical references. Hamel's Piper is one of them, and 'Hamel' is the town where the story takes place. ”

The inscription used as a prototype in Grimm's fairy tale "The Pied Piper of Hamel" is as follows:

—June 26, John and Paul Day, 1284

130 children born in Hamel were lured out by pipers dressed in various colors and eventually disappeared at the execution site near the hills.

The inscription recounts a real event that took place in the town of Hamel and is displayed along with a piece of stained glass.

It is also one of the later Grimm fairy tales, and the prototype of the story was created under the name "The Pied Piper of Hamel".

"Well, then why use the ratcatcher as a metaphor?"

"Because the clown in Grimm's fairy tales is considered to be a clown who can manipulate mice."

Ren smoothly answered Hakuyasha's question, while Asuka next to him quietly gasped.

(He said ...... clown who "manipulated rats" ......?) ）

The previous attack flashed through Asuka's mind. If you think about it, when you were attacked, there was indeed a flute sound similar to a dissonant sound.

"Well...... 'Rattenfanger' and 'Hamel's Piper...... In this way, the possibility of the remnants of the Demon King of Destruction sneaking into the Fire Dragon Birth Festival has increased. ”

“YES。 Since participants are not able to bring 'host authority' into the festival, this is a very likely means. ”

"Huh? What does this mean? This is the first time I've heard of it. ”

"Oh, yes. When I heard that the Demon King would appear, I arranged a minimum countermeasure. That is, I used my 'host authority' to add some conditions to the rules of participation in the festival. You can refer to this for details. ”

With a wave of his finger, a glowing piece of parchment appeared, on which the events of the birth sacrifice were written.

『§Fire Dragon Birth Festival§

- Matters to be done when participating in the festival:

1. It is forbidden for ordinary participants to hold games in which the community competes with each other in the stage area and in the free area.

2. Participants with "Organizer Authority" are prohibited from entering the festival area without the permission of the festival organizer.

3. Participants are prohibited from using the "Organizer Authority" in the festival area.

4. It is forbidden for persons other than participants to invade the stage area and free area in the festival area.

Oath: Respect the above contents, and hold a boon game in the name of glory and flag and the rights of the organizer.

【ThousandEyes】Seal

【Salamandra】Seal

Sixteen Nights nodded lightly after reading the parchment that appeared at hand.

"Is it possible for participants other than participants to enter the game" or "Participants cannot use host permissions"? Indeed, according to this rule, even if the Demon King attacks, you can't use the 'host permission'. ”

"Well, in short, everything that can be controlled should be controlled."

Is it? Sixteen Nights nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, the black rabbit accosted Jen in a surprised tone:

"But it's surprising. Master Ren, where did you hear about "The Pied Piper of Hamel"? ”

"Also...... It's nothing, it's just that when I took Mr. Sixteen Nights to the underground library before, I also read a little bit......"

"Well, really? Either way, it's useful information. But in case the other side wins the game and it gets a little tricky, keep an eye on it without hurting Sandora's face - in case something happens, it's your turn, please. ”

[NoName] and the group nodded in response, only Asuka had a restless shadow hovering in his heart.

([Rattenfanger] is a subordinate of the Demon King...... So what is this kid——? ）

Asuka looked at the pointed hat elf sleeping sweetly on her lap, and she also claimed to be from the Rattenfanger community.

However, Asuka doesn't think this elf is such an evil thing. Although Asuka wanted to tell everyone about it, in the end, he couldn't say anything and disbanded on the spot.

Asuka felt uneasy, but returned to the room he had been assigned to and prepared for tomorrow.

Bai Chen, who seemed to know what Asuka was thinking, barked at Asuka. Then Asuka looked at Yao in confusion.

"Bai Chen said don't worry, what you think is different from the truth."

"yes, that'll do."

Asuka smiled.
