"Is this—?"

Awakened from a coma, Rodriguez unexpectedly found himself in a labyrinth-like corridor at the moment. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"This is the corridor between the present world and the underworld, and I am the one who led you to reincarnation, Mr. Rodriguez. The black-robed skeleton with a scythe silently emerged from the air and appeared in front of Rodriguez.

"The underworld?"

"Yes, you're dead. The skeleton extradition said faintly.

"Under ...... Is it already dead?" said Mr. Deacon, looking up at his sword-holding hand.

"I know very well that everyone will not accept the reality of their own death...... Therefore, I have enough time to wait for your response. "Holding the scythe in both hands, the skeleton extradition looks very humane?

"May I ask how he died...... I can't remember why I can't remember. Rodriguez covered his forehead in pain and said apologetically.

"Do you want to see a replay of death?" said the skeleton extraditionist's tone. "Honestly, sir, death replays can only add to your unwillingness, and many humans who watch death replays end up refusing to reincarnate with hatred, and eventually become an ethereal undead in the world...... Is that okay?"

"Yes...... I would like to confirm it for myself. Rodriguez smiled gently, and there was not a trace of hesitation in his pleasant voice. "If you don't know how you died...... At this time, it may be a state of death. ”

"Well, it's your will. "The skeleton extradited the man's body out of the way.

At this time, the black brick walls of the cloister were transformed from a dark fire to a blue image.

The content of the image is brief

After Alice was defeated by the witch Klentina, the demon kings led by the Demon King Claes obeyed the witch's order to re-attack the Eastern Continent, and by the way, hunted down Alice's subordinates, Mr. Deacon and Miss Maid.

The strength of the Demon King is undoubtedly very strong.

The Eastern Continent was invaded, and Rodriguez and the maid lady had no way to hide in the Eastern Continent, and after being discovered by demons, they experienced a great battle, and finally lost their strength, and then- this is the way it is now.

"......" After seeing the image composed of the Hellfire, Rodriguez fell into deep thought.

"There's a question below. Mr. Deacon looked up with a smile on his face. "May I ask how long I've been dead. ”

This kind of question sounds a little funny to the skeleton extradition person. "Here, there are no time boundaries...... You've been dead for a day. ”

"Judging by the images, I died before Miss Kagome. In the end, it was Rodriguez who died blocking the knife for Miss Maid. "So, is it possible to say that Miss Kagome will be here in a moment? "Judging by that situation, both of them died early and late deaths.

"What do you mean—" The ghostly fire in the skeleton extraditer's pupils shuddered.

"Since my lord has passed away, I am really ashamed of my lord in the next person, and I want to find someone to be my companion on the way. Rodriguez put his hands on his chest and said in a sincere confession.

"Sir, I have to say that everything is unpredictable, and that companion of yours, Miss Kagome, may have a chance of escaping...... Like the help of the sage. "Although he had already parted ways with the sage when he fled.

"Is that so?" Rodriguez continued with an apologetic smile, "I wonder if I can ask another question?"

“...... Excuse me. "It's annoying, this guy, the skeleton extraditers are a little speechless.

"First of all, the reliefs on this cloister. With the help of the glow of the fire, Rodriguez pointed to the relief decoration on one of the bearer columns: "As far as I know, the image of Hela is not like this. ”

"Secondly, the messenger who extradited the messenger of the dead should be a woman with a bird's body and a human face, whose name was Acherroides...... Ah, no offense to your identity, just wonder why your image is different from what you imagined. ”

"Sir, you have to know...... If you die, you cannot be resurrected, and you can't talk about what you see after death, and the world after death as you understand it is only a compilation of the imagination of the world. "Not angry at Rodriguez's questioning, the skeleton extraditerris explained very kindly.

After a pause, the skeleton extradition asked with some curiosity, "Just now, why are you so sure that your companion will come here?"

"Shouldn't that be possible?" however, the words of the skeleton extraditer were interrupted.

"During the period of escape, I learned the news of my lord's defeat, and Miss Kagome was in a state of heartache, during which Miss Kagome had several plans to seek death, but they were immediately stopped by Zaixia...... It would be best if she could escape and overcome the sad news of our Lord's death and live happily. If not—" A hint of guilt and gloom flashed across Rodriguez's face. "She, like Zaixia, may be ashamed that my lord did not have the courage to meet in the underworld, and would rather give up the opportunity to be reincarnated and turn into an earthly spirit as a punishment for herself. ”

“...... Sure enough, Zai Xia is still willing to give up reincarnation and choose to become an undead. Rodriguez had a hint of relief on his face.

"Honestly, sir, once a person dies, then he has nothing to do with the world...... You are still conscious only because you are a true believer in death. The skeleton extraditerr's puzzled persuasion.

"I have made up my mind. ”

The figure of the "......" skeleton extradition gradually dissipated. "Eighteen hours later, I will come again, and if then, you still insist on doing so, then I will obey the will of the gentleman. ”

Watching the skeleton extradition depart, Rodriguez, who was leaning on the cloister, closed his eyes.

There is no wind here, no movement of living creatures.

It's as silent as hell.

Long...... Long......

Slight footsteps could be heard in the distance.

The movement of the footsteps made Rodriguez, who had gathered his mind, stunned slightly, reopened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the side of the corridor where the footsteps sounded.

As the footsteps drew clearer, finally, out of the shadows on the side of the cloister, Rodriguez finally saw someone coming.

The two look at each other.

"Miss Kagome?!" it was Miss Maid...... Coming here means that she has also passed away.

"Gus. The maid was also stunned...... Then, Rodriguez, who was up and rushing over, pinched his shoulder. "Why, why are you here? I thought you were saved. ”

"I'm sorry, Gus. The maid's face was filled with guilt. "You saved me, but I didn't succeed in escaping. ”

"And, even if they escape...... I don't have the courage to live in the world anymore. The maid pursed her lips...... Speechless.

"How could it be ......?"

"Well, I'm sorry to disturb the touching reunion of the two. "The skeleton extraditerris reappeared. "Now that the two have repeated. So, Mr. Rodriguez, are you still going to carry out the previous answer?"

"......" Rodriguez weakly put down the hand that was holding the maid's shoulder, and stepped back in distraction. "In the next ......" opened his mouth, but could not say anything.

In the guilty expression of Miss Maid, the bangs covered her glasses, and Mr. Deacon took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.

"What an interesting hallucination. Mr. Deacon chuckled softly.

“！！？”

"Whether it's the texture of the clothes, or the details and lengths of the hair or eyelashes, the imitation is impeccable...... Eighty points overall. Rodriguez commented interestingly: "It's a pity, Miss Kagome, she couldn't have said that." ”

"First, Miss Kagome is convinced that my lord will not die, and therefore cannot be discouraged. Therefore, the maid lady in front of her is a fake.

"Second, both Zai Xia and Miss Kagome have been given immortal blood by our Lord...... Through the images, it can be judged that the injury is not enough to kill the lower. "Even if the devil's claws pierce the heart.

"Third, since you are really the messenger of the god of death, why didn't you use honorifics for the name of the god of death just now? Rodriguez sighed. "So the question is, where is this, why is you trapped here, and how do you unravel this hallucinatory scene...... However, it still doesn't work. "During this time, Rodriguez has been thinking about this question.

Rodriguez looked at the 'Messenger of Death' with an interesting meaning, and smiled gently: "However, judging from your current words and actions, it seems that you can't do anything with me, but you are trying to make you die...... So, is it possible to think that it is good to be alive under it? ”

"And the death image you showed to Zai Xia is to make Zai Xia admit the fact that he is dead...... Of course, in that case, there are roughly seven ways to save Miss Kagome, and I won't choose the stupidest one to save her. "And, even if I was really stupid at that time, why didn't I have any impression before I died.

"Knowing the truth, then this illusion is meaningless. ”

At this point, the skeleton extradition man raised his scythe towards Rodriguez to slash ...... However, Rodriguez did not dodge.

Because it doesn't make sense.

The scythe passed through Rodriguez's body without any aggression.

If you can really force it, then why bother to lure it so much.

The skeleton extradition and Miss Maid disappeared at the same time.

......

On the western coastline of the Eastern Continent, a certain pier in a coastal town.

"Huh......" reopened his eyes, returned to the real world, and Rodriguez, who was lying on the boat, sat up, looked at the surrounding scenery, and reached out to touch his forehead with a headache. "I went on a trip to the Ghost Gate. ”

"......?" beside her, the maid lady who was rowing looked at her in bewilderment.

"No, it's nothing, don't care...... Anyway, let's go to the Western Continent as soon as possible. Mr. Deacon took the compass in his hand and looked at it to prevent it from going in the wrong direction.

"Yes. The maid quickened the force of the paddle in her hand.

"But I was surprised. Putting down the compass, Rodriguez turned his head and looked at the two little ones who were in bad spirits but not in danger of their lives. "Flying demons can get seasick too?" muttered incredulously.

Yami and Yash were also on board...... Well, seasick ~~

"You can spread your wings, two. "It's far enough from the docks...... At such a distance, even if you spread your wings, no one should be able to see clearly.

As Rodriguez's words fell, Yami and Yash couldn't wait to open their mouths. The pitch-black wings glow with a mesmerizing sheen in the sun. The two little ones finally breathed a sigh of relief,

"Brother Gus, will the master really forgive us?" until now, Yami was nervous.

“...... Personally, even if you regret it now, it's too late now?"

"Woo......" Yamiorz lay on the boat.

Next to him, Yash comforted and patted his brother on the shoulder.

"Of course, with my lord's character, I shouldn't care too much?" Rodgeris thought guessingly. "After all, my lord doesn't seem to know anything about your rebellion. "And, instead of mutiny, I should hope that we haven't seen each other for a long time, Alice hasn't forgotten these two little guys.

"Eh, ?!!" x2.

...

...

......

On the other side -

The Eastern Continent, the castle of the Demon King

"Is this the curse of success you promised?" In the hall, a magic mirror was placed, and as Rodriguez broke free, the surface of the magic mirror cracked.

"Your Highness, please give me another chance!" a certain ugly demon like soft mud trembled and crawled to the ground.

"The opportunity has been given to you. The Witch of the Rose, Kleniti's indifferent expression, was indifferent as black thorns emerged from the floor, enveloping and sucking up the ooze demon.

The witch of the rose looked around the hall with cold eyes, and all the archdemons lowered their arrogant heads in fear.

It's been a week.

Over the course of a week, the men sent out by the Great Demons were all wiped out by Rodriguez, and the loot brought back by the demons who returned alive was cast by the cursed lich, using the curse on the other party's hair...... It was also to no avail.

Not only that, but the two fallen angels, Yami and Yash, also rebelled and fled early...... After all, no one wants to be a puppet?

"They can't escape this world. In such a cold situation, Claes on the side humbly bent down to speak. "The demon god is above, rather than caring about those insignificant bugs. Our priority is the conquest of the Eastern Continent, my lord. ”

"Who is allowed to speak. "A cold, bone-chilling voice.

Bang!

With a heavy blow, Claes was directly smashed into the bearing pillar in the hall, and fell into the hall, rolling on the ground three times...... Finally, coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Really...... I'm so sorry. Even so, Claes forced himself to bend down in pain and apologize.

"Give you a chance to atone for your sins," the witch of the Black Rose slowly rose from her throne, her cold gaze pressing Claes. "Within three months, you will lead the team to capture them back. ”

“...... It is my pleasure. Claes gritted his teeth and agreed.
