Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu Vol 1 Chapter 1.09

Part 9
 

Faltra was a town that had a warm climate and received blessings of the river.

The vicinity around here is about level 60. Far from the story’s turning point, it was nothing, but the end of the opening of the game. If they settled down here, they probably didn’t continue the game……

The outer wall, that was made of stone, was in an octagon shape.

The stone wall and the moat functioned as protection from beasts. Wild animals were a huge threat for the regular people. The animals also brought about damage to the crops.

What protected the town wasn’t just physical objects such as the stone wall or the moat.

They were long and narrow like antennas.

The barrier did not prevent anyone who approached it from passing through, and it only intercepted existences that were involved with demonic beings and attacks.

Diablo kept his eye on the drawbridge that was on the western side of the town.

It was one of the races that players could choose at their time of participating in the MMORPG Cross Reverie.

Particularly, the highest value of INT, which determined a magic’s power, could only be attained by this race.

Being a Demon Magician, despite being a specialist in independent action like Diablo, was considerably rare.

For that reason, there were gates at the four cardinal directions of the town, it was possible for anyone to come and go from there.

People were “living” in this world. They were different from the NPCs that could only move how they were programmed to.

By the time they reached the front of the gate, it was already evening.

The grass-covered plain they had walked on was dyed red as if it were set on fire.

Rem and Shera who were used to seeing it probably wouldn’t say anything, but Diablo was secretly moved.

Six guards wearing armor were standing in front of the gate.

This time, they weren’t called to a halt.

They entered the town.

Going to this area was, rather than a habit from the game, was simply because he felt like sight seeing. His objective was to look around the town.

Even just walking was hard to do going down the street

It was a numerous amount that would be impossible in the game. Though it’s a natural difference since it would be hard to walk around the whole town if there were too many NPCs and it wouldn’t be fun in the game at all.

There were races apart from Humans. The long and narrow-eared Elves. The triangular-eared Pantherians. The rough bearded and dog-eared Dwarfs. The Grass Walkers that could only be seen as children, but had bunny ears and tail. And then, although they aren’t really seen, the Demons that have birthmarks on their faces and bodies.

Diablo looked like he was somewhat excited at first, but……he was originally bad with crowds of people. On top of that, with the successive astonishing spectacles, his nerves were exhausted .

It felt like the fatigue that he didn’t feel no matter how much he walked from before had plopped onto his shoulders right now.

「……Ex, excuse me.」

「……I would, like to go to the inn but.」

——Could it be she needs to use the restroom?

「Fumu, we should do that. I was also thinking that it was about time that we head for an inn.」
At that time, there was a voice that reached my ears.

「That’s Rem-san and, “that” Elven child, right? Why do they have chokers on themselves?」

It was probably due to them standing still. By the time he noticed, a crowd was made surrounding Diablo’s group.

「Eh? Weren’t those two supposed to be Summoners?」

「No, they aren’t only put on summoned beasts, they’re also put on slaves……」

「Shh! You’re too loud! ……Look, that man’s villainous-looking face. Even among Demons, there aren’t many that go that far. Just what are those horns……They’re warped and indeed look sinister……」

「There’s, something I want to ask, but, that Elven child over there seems to be of an amazing household, you know?」

「Oi, they looked over here. It’ll be dangerous if we get involved with them. He’s definitely a guy that’s like a demonic being.」

Those were some terrible things they said.

Their shoulders were slightly trembling.

He thought that the reason why the two were embarrassed about having the chokers displayed was because it would be known that the slavery magic was reflected back at them, but he was wrong.

Because there weren’t existences such as slaves in the game, he hadn’t thought of that.

——Uwaah, what should I do!?

Diablo became completely apologetic.

「Oi, you guys, what are you standing around there for? You wanted to go to the inn, didn’t you?」
Thanks to the people of the town opening up a path, it became a bit easier to walk.
