Chapter 150 – Transition
000
Compared to other adventurer guilds in the provinces, the adventurer’s guild in the royal capital is known for its relatively outstanding skills. It is because they gather talented adventurers from each region to solve the difficult request that comes directly from the royal family. Sometimes raids of huge dungeons. Eliminate monsters that appeared in the periphery where there is no adventurer’s guild. Hiring adventurers as a means of maintaining peace between the kingdom and the continent, and being able to solve problems without wasting precious kingdom soldiers and knights was a very attractive advantage for the kingdom.
In particular, if you become a high-ranking adventurer, your reputation will not lag behind that of nobles and knights at all. There were cases where he was invited to the training of the kingdom army, and there were also those who signed exclusive contracts with noble families and worked as their subordinates.
Raymond of the red thorns.
He was over 60 this year and was born as the child of a local lord’s concubine. Raymond, who thought he would never return to the position of lord, honed his martial arts from childhood and became an adventurer. After that, he went on various adventures with the spear of the red flag that became his partner his, and continued great adventures worthy of being recorded in history with his numerous friends his.
In addition, in the war between the kingdom and the empire, he belonged to the kingdom’s volunteer army, leading the red thorn vanguard that jumped into the enemy camp first, standing in front of the volunteer captain Palanataia, raising its reputation even on the battlefield .
Raymond was an adventurer who was braver than anyone else, to the point of staining the spear red from the tip to the bottom of the handle with the blood of himself and his enemies.
However, he was also a romantic and witty figure, to the extent that when his juniors asked him about his lack of a wife and children by that age, he would say that he devoted his love to adventure.
Now, his hair had lost its color and was approaching gray, but he was never left behind in his adventures. It’s already been more than two weeks since he suddenly disappeared, participating in a dangerous request first than anyone else.
The guild’s employees, as well as his juniors who admired him and became adventurers, searched for his whereabouts his, but could not find any trace of him anywhere.
Even if you risk rudeness and visit his house his, all you see is the furniture that remains as if time has stopped as he disappears, and his weapon his, the spear of the red flag, ‘Gay Bull’.
Someone says Raymond the Red Thorn threw everything for the last adventure of his life his and left this royal road as a true free spirit.
Many nodded their heads at those words. They prayed to the gods for their hero to safely complete his last adventure his.

“Ha!”
The sound of swords clashing with spears, the spears stabbing in succession like a gale, and the woman responding to the sword strikes of those spears with the speed of trust. Aruru Tromeia. Her sword her Arondite cracked and splintered every time she hit her spear, but that was the process of preparation for Arondite’s ability her. The fragments scattered around transform into another holy sword in the air and become an enemy in front of you.
Black high leggings clinging to the entire body. Fishnet stockings that reveal your secret inner flesh. A headband shaped like rabbit ears. And, the same white wavy hair and red eyes.
A face excited by the heat of battle, licking her parched lips with her tongue. She swings her spear round and round like the blades of a windmill. She was to slash all duplicated holy swords that flew by.
The rotating window stands tall. And stop. A red brassiere was hung between the blade and the pole of the spear that possessed the dark magic of a succubus. Could anyone have predicted that it belonged to the white-haired woman? Originally, to her doing her pole dance her to cheer her up in the party area on the after floor on the second floor. This spear of hers is her own tool of business and was also her partner her.
“That spear skill. Quite a skill, right?”
Aruru muttered as he looked at her body, which was unscathed even though their weapons clashed nearly a hundred times. Of course, Aruru also had no scars or traces of sweat on her body. It was not easy for her to meet an existence that could strike weapons on an equal footing with herself.
“Thank you, sir. I’ve been wielding spears for over 50 years, so I can’t lose to someone as young as you.”
No matter how you look at it, you’re in your early 20s. No, Aruru listens with one ear and lets it out with the other as she, who hopefully looks only in her late teens, speaks with her smile on her face her. In front of her eyes her is a clerk at Changgwan’s ‘Kamala Trail’, a person who has been using his skills to catch Cleon and his friends his, who caused a commotion on the second floor. Judging from the lack of horns, wings, or tail, he was clearly human, which means that he may have been originally male like Eustes.
However, even considering her original identity of her, there would be no meaning to her. In order to subdue her, Aruru lifts the limit on her Holy Sword’s output by one level.
The bluish divine mana radiated from all over her body her, reconciling with pure mana pressure and driving her spearman.
However, the spearman is not to be outdone by him. Her master her who is buried in the spear. By wielding the succubus’ mana to offset the mana pressure, he stood on the spot without collapsing.
‘Cleon… Will it be okay?’
Aruru thinks so in her heart her, and she only thinks of subduing her as soon as possible and getting out of this divided space.
“The customer is amazing. When I was about your age, I was barely able to achieve it after suffering death and limb several times in battles against the Imperial Army. I would never have thought there would be a woman like you among the current generation of warriors who do not know war.”
However, at the praise of her woman, Aruru blinked her eyes and raised her holy sword and aimed at her woman her. She is the warrior of the Tromeia family who protects the kingdom, and her words also touched Aruru’s ill-will her.
The black magic of a succubus that corrupts even noble heroic spirits who dedicated themselves to the battle against the Empire.
She naturally tightens her hand holding her holy sword, and her eyes sharpen. She was not seen even in the sparring with Cleon. Aruru as the sword of her realm her, to completely slay her enemies her, she deliberately erases her benevolence her from her own mind.
“Even if I find out who you are, you’d better not think that I’m going to get your hands on it.”
“No way. It’s not rotten enough to wish for that.”
Her woman runs her fingers through the ends of her own hair as if it were her her habit her, and smiles at her as if she does n’t lose.
“Arondite!”
“Machang Gaebolg.”
When two people call out the names of their respective weapons, waves of powerful magic power come out and cancel each other’s magic pressure. It spreads several times and repeats extinction.
The fight just started a little while ago. It happened after I went up to the second floor with Eustes.
002
The space of the table divided from the hallway by a curtain. Iona, Aruru, and Cleon were in the process of setting up a strategy to retrieve Eustes’ Mystiltein and become a woman to free the others imprisoned here. In the meantime, Caliburn concentrates her mind and repeats emitting a soft light to locate her kin her, the holy sword Mistiltein.
[The presence of Mistiltein was clearly felt on the second floor. However, I can feel the strong dark magic energy around it. What. Compared to me and Mr. Cleon, he’s lame, but~]
And, after hearing the words of Caliburn, who soon found out the location of Mistiltein, Cleon nodded his head, and he relayed what he heard to the three people.
“Powerful black magic… Is it the devil who turned Eustes into a woman?”
“Perhaps you’d better think so. …Did you say ‘Kamala’?”
When Cleon asks that, Eustes nods her head. The pink-headed devil had a ridiculous appearance, but he could freely use his tail his, which was harder than steel, to fight, and, most dangerous of all, to open his tail and eat anything. It was that it sprayed black magic that turned into
“You better be careful. She was able to instantly heal any damage she received with her holy water of her.”
“There is no doubt that he is a high-ranking demon compared to other succubuses. Did you say Astarothe…? Demon followers. They summoned such a demon to the capital… Besides, even the adventurers turned into women for this kind of thing. Write. What the hell are you thinking?”
Aruru grips the handle of her Mistiltein as she calms herself down.
“How do I get to the second floor?”
To Cleon’s question, Eustes answers while blushing a little.
“The 2nd floor is called the after floor. There is a space for the clerk on the 1st floor to do that… That kind of thing. If you want to go up, that’s the most natural way.”
As explained when I first came here. It seemed to be the only way to go up to the second floor.
“…Then. Let’s not delay. We’ve also found Mistiltein’s presence, so there’s no need to wait any longer.”
“That’s right. …Thinking about it. Can we go up too?”
Iona nodded at Cleon’s words and rose from her seat, but she stopped at her sudden question of her.
“…What does that mean?”
“Ah~! Cleon is going to hug Eustes from now on. He’s asking if it’s okay for us as women to follow along!”
When Aruru talks as if he knows what Iona’s question is, Eustes gives Aruru a shocked expression.
“Everything, the choice of words is a little…”
“That part should be fine.”
Cleon shrugs his shoulders. Obviously, a man who takes a woman to a window is ethically the worst. Although it is non-recyclable garbage. This is a place for succubuses who receive the dirty desires of such trash. Even a little strange situation is normal from the devil’s point of view.
After hearing Cleon’s explanation, the two also have a strange persuasion, so they follow Cleon and pull back the curtains and go out into the hallway.
Eustes muttered as he looked at the three people who had a somewhat deviated view of ethics.
“Am I weird…?”
003
The four of them went up to the second floor, with Eustes at the forefront and guided by him as they proceeded through the hallway. In the hallway, just like the clerk wearing a coat on the first floor, there were succubus wearing the same outfit at regular intervals. They greet their guests with a smile. All of them are just beauties and pretty girls who would steal their souls from ordinary men. However. Both sides of Cleon. Iona and Aruru, who were clinging to each other with their arms crossed, pretended to be old lovers, trying not to direct Cleon’s gaze to the succubus.
“…Do I really have to go this far?”
“If you don’t shy away from moving, you might get suspicious. Huhu~ And, since we’re really lovers, isn’t it weird?”
“Please rest assured that we are blocking the succubus’ fascination with our bodies, Cleon.”
Of course Cleon sighed at the words of the two, but Eustes too.
Of course. He, too, was originally a male body. Up until a month ago, it was taken for granted that he flirted with all kinds of women. Although he now dismissed his immature self his as a dark history and was careful as much as possible to suppress his frivolity his.
He is also a young man with a youthful spirit. He was not to blame for thinking that the more popular he is with women, the better.
But. Your current situation. And in order to reflect on his past self his, he contacts women as carefully as possible, but-
If you look at Cleon. Where does this difference come from? It was a little daunting.
First is Iona. She was the daughter of Talchek, who was Eustes’ teacher, although for a short time she was. And since Cleon is her Talchek’s apprentice her, there’s nothing strange about her even if she and her porridge her are a good match for her.
And. Aruru. Although it is unknown when and where she found out. She was able to catch her claws of her, which were like a lioness, because Cleon’s skills of her were outstanding.
…Lubera. Her Cleon Her protected the girl she herself had abandoned, and things must have happened after that. Rather about her, she has to some extent to thank her Cleon her.
Besides that, those who were originally a party. The same goes for a priest named Quon. Most believe in Cleon, and Eustes broods over being by his side.
If you go back to being a man, it wouldn’t hurt to have Cleon as your role model. It was to think that.
He is also a disciple of the same Talchek. Tall and muscular body. The power he possessed was such that even Eustes himself could not grasp all of it. In addition to the demonic sword he wielded before, looking at the holy sword now on his waist. He had no idea what kind of adventure he was on.
“…”
Eustes glanced at Cleon’s face her.
Earlier, when he had encouraged him to take his hand her and reassure him. The feelings of admiration he felt for him were obviously Eustes’s own.
But-why? Every time he makes skinship with women, his spirit his goes down. Is he really because he wants to be popular too?
And. A little bit of him. What I want to put in the corner of my field of vision.
Does looking at him make you feel at ease?
His head has been hurting He seemed to have a fever.
“Kuh… Ha ha…”
Eusthes suddenly staggered his body and touched his head, and Cleon quickly grabbed him by the shoulder from behind.
“…Are you okay? Don’t push yourself too hard. Dark magic will remain in your body.”
Cleon’s fingers were thicker than when he was a man. Seeing that finger on his shoulder his, Eustes felt that his mind his was getting more and more confused…
“Purification.”
In the next moment, Eustheus’ body is healed by the purification spell of holy magic that Iona quietly chanted. Aruru erected herself as a wall to prevent the other demons from witnessing the scene.
As Eusthes’s mind was his, which seemed to be foggy over his head, gradually cleared, he separated himself from Cleon.
“Hot…!”
“…Eustes. Just now. The concentration of dark magic in your body has increased… It could be a response to your emotions. Conversely, the dark magic might be trying to control your emotions.”
“Thank you. Iona. I’m fine.”
Although she didn’t even notice it herself. Eustace, whose voice and manner of speaking have become more feminine, throws his hair over his shoulder his and bows his head.
“…”
Cleon looked at Eustes and put his hand on the handle of the Caliburn. Taking it as a sign to ask for his guidance his, Caliburn pointed to a fork in the road that split left and right in front of him.
[The holy sword is in the room at the far right of here.]
“What’s on the left?”
“S-A VIP-only banquet hall where you can watch strip pole dancing… From what I’ve heard, it seems that the aristocratic guests who shouldn’t disappear are made into a source of money, not a woman.”
Eustes answered in a trembling voice and looked to the right.
“Let’s go. We can’t wait any longer.”
Cleon, concerned about Eustes’ condition, slows down his steps a little faster.
Neither Ion nor Aruru looked anxiously at her Eustes, then took her to her manager’s office her, where her Kamala would be.
004
When the door to the manager’s office was thrown open, the inside was a room decorated with splendid gold and silver jewelry. Various colorful costumes, expensive fruits. And, all sorts of accessories.
There is no desk for the manager to do his work. The room has a large, luxurious, soft bed.
And on top of it, only the figure of a devil with pink hair was seen, lying flat on his stomach.
Drool- Cool. Drool- Cool.
There was only a stupid sound, and the appearance of her occasionally scratching her belly with her hand. No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t a succubus, it was just an unemployed person playing at home.
“…”
Iona saw that and she was speechless for a moment. Aruru examines the objects around her.
And Cleon sighed and pulled out the Caliburn.
“Now wait. Are you cutting right away…?”
At Eustes’ words, Cleon shakes his head.
“No, if you cut your throat, you’ll be sent back to hell right away. Stab your belly and fix it to the bed. If it’s penetrated by the holy sword, Caliburn, you’ll naturally lose your strength.”
When Cleon, who is merciless towards the devil, said that, Eustes recalled that image in his head her with an ‘Ugh…’.
However, Cleon’s method made the most sense, so he quietly nodded.
Cleon quietly moved closer to the bed, lifted the Caliburn upright, and-
Aiming for her navel her-(The belly her was open, so it was easy to see where to aim.)
I put the Caliburn down as it was.
Pooh-!
“Gude Ee-e- !!! What is it!? Suddenly! Ha, ha!?
Kamala opened her eyes at the same time as she let out a strange scream and spat blood. She saw her Cleon her looking down from above her, her eyes glowing, and she confirmed her condition her with a ‘heek’in her voice.
Having had her belly neatly pierced with a straight line, she became a rat in her poison, unable to move her body her.
“Huh, the clan of the dark demons… Then, you’re Cleon-sama…”
Kamala looked at Cleon, and she seemed to recognize him as she even gave him her honorific her.
“Do you know me? You must answer my questions. Devil.”
“I’m Kamalaya… Heh, heh. Certainly. He’s a strong man. Lilim-sister deserves to cherish him.”
However, Kamala was taken back for a moment. I glance into her eyes and check Eustes, and she grins.
“You’re here to get that trash. Cleon-nim. I told my subordinates to send the trash when a decent human comes along. I’m glad you handled the job properly…”
“…What?”
When Cleon asked Kamala’s words back, Kamala replied with a bright smile.
“Of course it was a plan to use that guy to attract more victims! The arrival of a human with a holy sword was unexpected, but no problem!”
Kamala says so.
“If I had you, Lilim-nee would be a little nicer to me as well☆ It’s a pity, but I’ll read your book of adventures here too!”
“Let’s talk about that while the sword is stuck in the stomach-“
“Cleon!”
At that moment, Cleon, feeling something swinging at him, hurriedly rolled over and fell off the bed.
Then, there was the figure of Eustes, who lost the light in his eyes and moved as if he was being controlled by something.
“Good job! Garbage… No, Justina.”
“Yes… Sister…”
What I held in my hand with unfocused eyes was the holy sword, Misteltein, surrounded by black magic.
Eustes, who had attacked Cleon against her own will, approached her as Kamala instructed her and drew the holy sword from her belly.
[Why are there so many pathetic male warriors~!]
Calling out, Caliburn quickly escaped from Eustes’ hand and flew into Cleon’s hand hers.
“Oh my gosh. The world reversal☆ Wounds from the holy sword. Anything can be healed if you have dark magic☆ It was a mistake not to decapitate to get information! Cleon-sama!”
“…”
Cleon glered at Kamala like he was going to kill him, grabbing Caliburn properly and taking his seat her.
“But 3:2 is a bit too much☆ And. The hero and half-sword over there are quite strong… Shall we move?”
“What-“
The next moment, when Kamala snapped her fingers, the huge teleportation magic circle installed in the room was activated.
Aruru disappeared first, and then. Iona and Eustes. Finally, Cleon and Kamala.
Aruru, who was moved first, quickly looked around. She confronts a woman with a spear standing in front of her.
“Are you my opponent? Thank you, lady.”
“Are you—the store clerk?”
“My name is Remilia.”
A moment of silence. And. The irresistible fight between the two warriors was about to begin.
