Dark Knight Story

Episode11 Free fighter

　"Are you almost reaching the heroes of the Holy Lenaria Republic? Nut??"　

　Kuroki talks to Nut sitting on his shoulder.

　"Yes. Should be a little more. Kuroki."

　Nut has been to the vicinity of St. Nut has been to the vicinity of St. Renarian Republic before.

　As a result, Kuroki and his friends were able to come this far without hesitation.

　Two months after leaving Nalgol.

　Kuroki continues to travel to the Holy Lenaria Republic, where Reiji and others are.

　On the way, I was attacked by Scylla and met the elf's parent and child.

　Kuroki was walking thinking it was a long trip.

　Kuroki notices someone running here.

　"that? Kuroki. I can hear the sound of Yahu and goblin"

　"That's true. Let's go and see."

　Kuroki turns to the cry.

　In the middle of the highway, a man is surrounded by five goblins.

　The man is trying to escape while wielding a sword to drive away the goblin.

　"Oh. It is very weak Yahu. If you leave it as it is, it will feed on goblins. Kuroki"

　Nut laughs at the human man.

　A man is just swinging his sword against the dark clouds, not hitting the goblin.

　Kuroki and his team sneak into the shadows of the trees to see the man fight.

　A man is not strong. At this rate, it will fall into the hands of the goblins and die.

　But that's what it's like without Kuroki.

(What shall we do? )

　Should I help?　Kuroki gets lost. Goblins outside Nalgol are not under The Control of Modeath.

　That's why I didn't think Kuroki could kill me.

　Goblins and humans are just living in this world equally. I didn't mean to put my shoulder stoy.

(And why... When I look at people in this world, I don't feel the same as me.)

　Humanbeings in this world are different races. I feel like that just because the figures are similar.

　Kuroki met people from this world several times during his journey.

　And the human life in this world was felt too thin.

　I can't think of the same person by all means.

(Maybe it's because you've been summoned by Modeath?　Was it possible to see a human being as a human being because he was summoned by Dark Lord? )

　I wonder about various ideas in Kuroki. The man in front of me is about to die.

(But he may be from the country he's going to. If you help me, they might show you around.)

　After all Kuroki decides to help.

　"I can't help it. Can you help me?"

　"Do you help? Kuroki? "

　Nut looks strange.

　"Yeah help. Nut is a bit away"

　"I don't know why to help Yahu. But I do. Kuroki"

　Nut gets off Kuroki's shoulder.

　After seeing Nut leave, Kuroki jumps out and approaches the man.

　"Ah?　What about you?"

　"I'll help you."

　Kuroki pulls out the sword of the waist.

　It's not a magic sword. It's an ordinary sword everywhere. The power of the magic sword is too strong to stand out. That's why Kuroki procured a normal sword on his journey.

　The goblin at the top is approaching.　The weapon is a stone fence.

　With the knowledge That Kuroki has learned, goblins cannot use fire, with the exception of exceptions.

　Therefore, you will not have an iron weapon unless you take it away from others.

(Too late)　

　Kuroki plays the attacking goblin stone saw sideways with a sword.

　"Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

　When the spear of the goblin which came from the side is passed, it kicks it with the foot.

(It's a bit annoying. Then it's magic.)

　Kuroki uses the magic of fear.

　The magic of fear is one of the spiritual magic. The object used feels indescribable fear.　

　The face of the goblin using magic is tinged with fear.

(It looks like he couldn't resist. It's not as strong as I thought.)

　Kuroki judges that.

　In fact, Kuroki is not good at the magic of the mental system.

　It should not work for those who have the same magic power.

　It took easy on the magic. The magic of the goblins is quite weak.

　"Gaaaa!"

　If you shout suddenly, the goblins will run away.

　After seeing off the goblin that runs away like that, I see a man.

　"Are you saved?　Thank you. You're strong, aren't you?"

　The man sees Kuroki with the eyes of the unbelievable.

　"Are you all right?"

　"Ah. It's okay. My name is Borat. As you can see, he is a free warrior. What about you?"

　A man stands up and calls himself.

　Kuroki sees a man who calls himself Borat.

　A long, cheeky face has a stubble.

　Black hair is not trimmed and can be extended, and cloth is wrapped around the forehead to prevent sweat.

　My body is thin and I don't have much muscle.

　And, wearing a lousy Leather armor which is not respectable in flattery, it is carrying a sword in the waist.　　

　He certainly looks like a free warrior.

　In this world with many monster threats, human men are required to become warriors.

　And if knights and soldiers are public warriors, free warriors are civilian warriors.

　The reason for being called a free warrior is not simply called a warrior because only the warrior includes the knight and the soldier.

　In addition, while knights and soldiers move on the orders of the country, free warriors move at the request.

　Orders are obliged to obey, but they have the freedom to accept or not.

　That is the origin of the name of the free warrior.

　Free warriors are everywhere in a country where all citizens do not have a warrior system.

　Kuroki was neither the first to meet a free warrior.

　"My name is Kuro. He's also a free warrior."

　Kuroki takes a pseudonym just in case.

　It is natural because it comes to search for Reiji which is the person of the Dark Lord side and man's hope.

　He doesn't even look like a dark knight.

　A bag on the back of a hooded cloak for travel. I don't wear armor, but my clothes are the same as the average people around here, with long-sleeved tunics and pants. It is a leather traveler's shoe on the waist and a leather belt.

　Kuroki knows that some free warriors are not equipped because they are poorly armed to say free warriors, but armor costs money. So it is judged that there will be no problem.

　"Well, are you a free warrior, or are you going to St. Renaria from now on?"

　"Yes, is it?"　What is it? "

　"No, I live in St. Renaria. I can show you around if you like."

　I think Kuroki is lucky to hear that.

　I'm going to stay in St. Renaria for a while. Now I was able to get guidance from the local residents.

　"It's helpful. By the way, why are you here? "

　When Kuroki listens, Borat laughs without power.

　"Why?"　I just left her behind..."

　Borat explains.

　Borat was on his way to the neighbouring country from the Holy Lenaria Republic as a cargo escort.

　However, he was attacked by a goblin on the way.

　And, the companion carrying the load left Borat and ran away.

　"Was that so?"

　In short, Borat was abandoned by his friends. Kuroki somehow sensed from Doby's attitude.

　"Well, it's good. You can go to St. Renaria more than that. I'll show you to thank you for helping me."

　I lean my head at the words.

　"What?　Do I have to chase my friends? "

　"Maybe it's okay. My mission is to carry the cargo safely. Because I became a samurai and stopped the goblin, the load should be safe. And if I chase him now, he'll be on the way to night. In that case, it's better to turn back."

　Borat begins to walk when she says that.

　It is dangerous to spend the night in a place without walls. Even if you spend the night, quite a few warriors have to take turns watching. Even more so, if you spend the night alone, you will die.

　What Borat is saying is right. Kuroki silently follows.

　It was almost until the Holy Lenaria Republic.
