"I didn't expect to meet a fellow villager who crossed here......" The red bonfire reflected the girl's blonde hair and silver eyes, and the wry smile on the corner of her mouth made her look a little desolate, "You are a soldier in the first phase, right?" I can't imagine that in addition to Isli, there is a strong man like you in the first issue. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Ha, over the years, shouldn't you have been cultivating peerless magic skills in the deep mountains and old forests like those martial arts novels? Now that it suddenly appeared, is it finally a miracle, ready to re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, and deduce the undefeated resurgence of the East? ”

"I'm not a shemale," I tried to swallow the hot, oily pork leg meat, lamenting its fatness, admiring the girl's barbecue skills, and my tone naturally softened, "I'm just passing by." ”

"Passing by? Of course it's passing by, with your strength, if you live here for a long time, I'm afraid that you will already be famous, I haven't lived impatiently, even if you want to find death, you don't need to run to the door of a super dangerous high-level awakened person like you. "The girl's eating appearance is very elegant and she looks well-educated," my name is Galadia, defensive type. Ranked third before defection.,Originally, it was cultivated as an 'eye'.,Demonic energy perception and demonic energy control are quite experienced.。 What about you? ”

"My name is Kazuya Uesugi." I can only answer this half-sentence, because I really don't understand what she said about things like "defensive", "ranked", "defected", "eye...... What exactly does this type of noun mean?

"Uesugi ...... And also? She put down the grilled fish in her hand and looked at me through the fire with a puzzled look, "You don't have a brother named Tatsuya Uesugi, do you?" ”

"Huh? Is that guy so famous? "Is there a mistake? He's just a good player in baseball, so that people from another world don't even know about him!

Galadia was silent for a moment, then asked tentatively, "...... you Do you rarely watch anime? ”

"That's right."

"SUPPOSEDLY, YOU HAVEN'T READ MANGA LIKE TOUCH OR CLAYMORE, RIGHT?"

"I've never even heard of either name."

"No wonder......" she nodded as if she had come to her senses, and continued to fight the grilled fish slowly.

For a moment, in addition to the whispering of the night wind in the glade, it was the sound of someone biting a pig's leg.

"I've heard that there has been an ogre here lately that likes to infest the village," she said softly as she drank tea from a wooden cup after eating, "I thought it was a new breed of demon created by the organization......

"Hey! You don't mean that the "ogre who likes to infest the village" is me, do you? ”

Silver Eyes blinked at the miserable boar.

I'll admit that I don't look good, but I'm eating wild boar!

"I weighed it just now, this wild boar should be more than four hundred pounds," she picked up a dead branch and began to write and draw on the ground, "I have never raised a pig, I don't know how much meat a pig can kill, but look at it basically only has bones and internal organs, how can you eat half of it...... Even after deducting blood and hair, there are at least one hundred and fifty or sixty catties of meat. ”

She lowered her branch and looked at me with a look of admiration, "You're the most voracious creature I've ever seen, there's no one. ”

Since practicing the Aura Wave Fist, my appetite has also increased like crazy as my spiritual power has increased, and every time I exercise vigorously, I need to eat a lot to replenish my strength - in fact, that wild boar only made me eat half full.

"That's how you eat in those villages?"

"Almost......"

"I now understand why the villagers ran away when they heard you were passing by."

Actually, my appetite is really nothing compared to those A-class monsters.

Alas, after all, it's not enough to have a thick skin, so I'm really embarrassed to use those big guys whose real bodies are at least half as Japanese as an example.

Seeing my embarrassed face, Galadia finally couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

The more she laughed, the happier she became, and finally she laughed so much that tears flowed out. It was indeed pleasing to watch a fiery blonde woman with a thin dress smiling back and forth, but I heard something else in her laughter.

Crossing into this backward and desolate world alone, and becoming a monster, she has had a hard time all these years, right?

Especially the physical abnormalities, for women, I'm afraid it's not necessarily better than dying......

"Cry if you want to, why laugh to die?" The body reacts before the mind, and I say things that I don't understand.

The blonde girl's body stiffened for a moment, and then the laughter suddenly turned into a cry.

When she cried, she cried for a long time.

"Sorry for making you laugh." By the time she said this, she had regained her composure, and went to the stream to wash away her tears, and she was as elegant and chic as ever.

"I've eaten and laughed, you've been waiting impatiently for a long time, and you've wanted to know something about monsters, right?" She stretched and naturally lay down, her hands resting behind her head, looking at the starry sky on a winter night, "It's a bit of a long story......

"In this land isolated from the sea, there is a monster known as "Demons", which can eat humans and become their appearance, and the most terrifying thing is that they are able to completely receive the memories of their victims while eating people, that is, their disguise is almost perfect, and even the best detectives can not see any clues in appearance, words and deeds - except for their inherent demonic aura. ”

"But since they eat people, sooner or later they will show their feet."

Galadia only shook her head at my rebuttal, and she continued, "Even if you find demons by chance, it doesn't mean that you can kill them, because they have far more force than humans, and although it is not impossible to defeat them with crowd tactics, it is almost impossible to prevent them from escaping. As for the demons, as long as they run away, they will soon disguise themselves as humans again......"

Truly...... The few monsters I've seen - Galadia will leave it alone - are definitely not capable of being hunted down by a human society with a medieval level of technology at best, and even the police of the twenty-first century can't do anything about them.

"The only one who can fight the demons is an organization called Starf. They buy up a large number of little girls, select warriors with superior physical strength and willpower through rigorous training and brutal elimination, and then use unknown technology to implant demon flesh and blood in their bodies and fuse them with human bodies. ”

"When a warrior is fused, his hair will turn blonde, his eyes will turn silver, and his body will be scarred forever," she said, unbuttoning her clothes to reveal her shocking abdomen, "A lot of times, just looking at a body like this makes me feel like suicidalβ€”"

"In order to fight against demons, such sacrifices make sense!"

"Perhaps...... However, what is the final outcome of those of us warriors called 'Great Sword'? ”

"I guess - either died in battle, or became an instructor when he grew old?"

Galadia smiled sadly again, which gave me a bad feeling.

"When I fought in the afternoon, I once liberated my demonic power, do you remember?"

Of course I do! That transformation-like technique is very useful, and I'd like to learn from her!

"The source of our strength is the flesh and blood essence of the demons in our bodies, and through the fusion with them, we become half-demons, not only are our bodies greatly strengthened, but we also have the ability to use demonic energy. That's where my demonic energy perception and demonic energy control skills come from. However, the most powerful weapon that demon flesh brings to us is actually a special power called 'liberation demon power'. ”

"We can burst out the demonic power contained in our body and greatly improve our combat power! ――How much do you think the improvement has been? ”

"Very amazing!" This is not a compliment, but a real evaluation, the skill that can increase one's combat effectiveness by three or four times, as far as I know, is very rare, but-

"This kind of technique has serious sequelae, right?" Looking at her face, I knew I had guessed right.

"Unleashing demonic power will demonize the body. Generally speaking, if you liberate 10% of your demonic power, your pupils will turn into golden cat's eyes; When the liberation reaches 30%, the face will begin to change, and the green tendons will burst out; Liberation to 50%, even the body will begin to change; And when the demonic power is liberated more than 80%, it cannot be recovered. ”

"What do you mean by 'irreversible'?"

"It's just that you won't be able to control your demon power and become a demon completely." Her eyes gradually turned cold, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, "But even if you don't liberate to that extent, in ordinary battles, your body will continue to be eroded by demonic power, and it's only a matter of time before you become a demon." ”

"Warriors become demons, we call this process 'awakening', and the kind of powerful demons that transform from warriors are called 'awakened ones'."

"Even if your body changes from a half-demon to a pure demon, it won't affect your determination to protect humanity."

"There is a gap between the ideal and the reality, and the known awakened people have almost given up their belief in protecting human beings, and have transformed into monsters that eat more than ordinary demons and are several times more harmful than ordinary demons. Externally, he is called a 'person with an abnormal appetite'. ”

"Sad, isn't it? Rather than turning into a monster, just die and be clean......"

No wonder this afternoon, when she found that she was about to wake up, she would rather give up resisting and wait for death......

"Okay, that's pretty much it." After talking about the unpleasant topic for a long time, Galadia also seemed to be tired, she tightened the ski shirt I gave her slightly, as if using it as a quilt, "If you still have questions, please wait until tomorrow, I'm tired now." ”

Then, she fell asleep defenselessly.

Now, you're a beautiful woman anyway, and I don't look like a decent gentleman at all, even if your body is enough to dispel the desires of most men, but what if I'm the kind of perverted curiosity hunter who gets more excited about the weirder the object? Or maybe I can't see your belly?

What a boring spit.

Lying on the other side of the campfire, looking at the familiar starry sky, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

As far as my astronomical knowledge goes, it's probably still the Earth, but I've never heard of such a continent on the Earth.

Demons, Great Swords, Awakening ......

Although the mission of "hunting down man-eating monsters" has been successfully completed, and the most important clues have been obtained in the follow-up investigation, can I really return to modern society and deliver these tasks?

Can I do better than Galadia, who is also a traverser, can only wait in despair on this land for death, or a worse end than death?

Taking out the spiritual communication mobile phone, whether it is the human technology mode or the spiritual technology mode, it cannot receive any information, and the communication tower of the suitcase with more power cannot detect the signal, so it can be seen that even if it is the earth, at least it will not be a place that can easily lead to the outside world.

The emergency communicator on the collar of the optical camouflage suit still flashes a faint red light, maybe the unfathomable "Mithril" organization really has a way to contact me, but-

Wait, until I have all the information about this continent.

It's already a shame to ask outsiders for help, and if I get saved in disgrace after nothing, then where will my face go in the future!

Let's go to sleep......
