1285 City of Pleasure, Part 120 - Encounter in the Mist ③ -

"I don't know what it is in the middle of the night like this... it's time for a good girl to go to bed, Pei"

"I didn't say anything stupid. So, what happened to Riddill? Have you heard from him?

"That's the stupid thing to do. You can't possibly know something you don't."

"What about the orcs that attacked Tarram?

"I don't know, but what do you say, Porch?

"Woo... wow"

Dougla and Dougla seem to have guessed by the way Porch barked.

"Ho ho, humans can't do it. The orcs that entered the city were guided, dispersed and almost destroyed. On the contrary, a detachment is marching out into our ranks. Sounds like some kind of damage."

"Oh, come on, okay?

It doesn't matter how many orcs die.

"You're an orc too... no, let's not. Is that it? Where's Riddill?

"You're lost in the fog. I see, I certainly wish I had surrounded you and not moved. Could you have read this development with the connoisseurs? No, I don't think so."

"Hey, you. Are you motivated?

"No, not at all."

Unexpectedly, Cerberus' words made Gunz feel like he was coming.

"You..."

"Operation planning is impotent in the first place. If this is how a human city can be dropped, I've been dropping it in a herd of oaks for a long time. A single raid can ravage a village, but it's not that easy when it's bigger than the city. It is true that it is rare in the world of oak that it has become a herd of this magnitude, but there have always been in the thousands or so.

But still, it wasn't easy to drop a human city. You're not a human licker, are you? So I know that the liver of this operation is somewhere else. The only thing that matters is when you run away. "

"Mm..."

Gunz was impressed with the unexpected wisdom of Cerberus, but Cerberus looked sharply at Gunz.

"By the way, what are you gonna do with those legs? I'm telling you, I'm not ready for a metastasis, and I'm probably going to go back to the dragon's nest. If you can't follow me, why don't you just leave me?

"Oh, you mean that. I tried to talk to Tyran when I got home, but it was just affordable."

Gunz glanced at the warcraft that the foundine had given him. Warcraft doesn't just see anything, he stares across the sky.

"I don't have a preference, but I can't say four or five at this time. Do you think I'll put up with that?"

"... is that something you can do without Anomaly's help?

"I learned the trick. I don't know what I'd do if I stuck around."

"What do you say? It's appropriate."

As Cerberus shrugged, Gunz suddenly jumped at the warcraft that the Fondaine had sent in with an evil grin.

"Mm... where am I?

Riddill had gone after the bandrass, and had lost sight of the direction after it had been lost in the fog. As a bandrass, I could have followed Lydil until morning, but I felt signs of Libidu's nostalgia as the fog was more chaotic than I imagined, so I left Lydil in the fog.

And Lydill also needed a lot of time to wake up from the anger he saw Zems. I feel like I've stuck something blocking a lot of goings by then, but I'm too obsessed to remember. When I found out, I was in front of a hall with spooky signs.

Lydill stares at it when he sees a sign in the hall. It's getting a lot older, but I couldn't read it.

"Endless pleasure and... a secret lust hall? It's a big building with no secrets or anything."

Lydil said the best things, but no one responded to the words. And when I was worried about what was going on in front of the hall, I was called from behind by the lid.

"Lydil?"

"Yeah?"

The Lord of the Voice was Fostina. It was a friendly tone, but Lydill can't remember the other guy. But I saw him in the arena and somehow knew he wasn't an enemy because of his lack of hostility, so I accidentally got in tune.

"I didn't expect to see you here, you go after this, too?

"It's not that... it's a coincidence,"

"Then I'm just fine. If you're not in a hurry, I want you to help me crush this."

"For what?

"Because this seems to be the cause of the fog. Tarram is in big trouble right now. From the outside, there's a bunch of demons, mists that you can't even handle inside. If we don't do something about this fog first, we won't be prepared for threats from the outside.

What do you say, can you help me?

I can't say I'm the one directing that outside threat, and as Riddill wandered off, Fostina forced Riddill's hand into the hall. But I didn't feel like I missed anywhere, and Lydill kept it that way.

"This has happened before?

"What are you talking about? You guys out of the country cluttered up at the entrance to the guild, so I walked you out of the way, didn't I? It was only a few years ago, did you forget?

"Yes, no. Like it was."

"You're still depressed. Though I really admire your talent for being a brave man in the years since. Talent is obviously above me, isn't it? But what happened to your people? We seemed so close."

"It's..."

Killed by a Zems bastard, Lydill noticed one fact. What was the name of my people? What kind of relationship is that in the first place? What about his face? I can't remember one thing. Lydill noticed, and at that moment he was struck by a severe dizziness and headache.
