Volumen 03 Capítulo 25 - Disfraz & Infiltración

1ª Parte

La ciudad de Rikaris, es una de las 3 Grandes Ciudades del continente demoniaco, Makai. En concreto, se trata de la ciudad que la Gran Emperatriz Demoniaca Kirishika Kishirisu utilizó como centro de operaciones durante la gran guerra entre humanos y demonios.

También conocida como la Vieja Fortaleza Kishirisu.

Aunque lo primero que llama la atención para aquellos que la visitan por primera vez es la localización en la que se encuentra, porque de todos los lugares posibles, está costruida en el centro de un cráter gigante.

Utilizando los bordes de este como una pared natural, que sin importar cuantos enemigos lo ataquen, jamás caerá. Y hasta día de hoy, la barrera originada de forma natural previene la invasión de monstruos a la ciudad.

En el centro de la ciudad se encuentra el parcialmente demolido Castillo Kishirisu, que fue destruido durante la Campaña de Laplace. Y que a día de hoy todavía muestra marcas de la batalla ocurrida entre la facción de Kishirika a favor del Rey Demonio de aquel entonces contra el posterior Rey Demonio Laplace.

Con unas murallas exteriores tan fiables y un castillo bañado en dorado oscuro por la sombra de su glorioso pasado; la ciudad tiene los iconos necesarios para contar la historia sobre el poder que ostentó la Gran Emperatriz Demoniaca, así como las contiendas que acayeron sobre las razas demoniacas.

Por todo esto, la ciudad de Rikaris es una ciudad agradable, plagada de historia; y que he de recomendar encarecidamente que visiten de noche para poder admirar la verdadera belleza de esta ciudad.

Extracto del libro Recorriendo el Mundo del aventurero Conde Sanguinario.

2ª Parte

Eso es lo que sé acerca de la ciudad de Rikaris, aunque al llegar, Ruijerd me cuenta que la ciudad posee 3 entradas para acceder a ella. Una de esas entradas es una gran grieta en el propio cráter; porque a menos que pudieras volar, sería difícil acceder a la ciudad a través de un cráter tan elevado.

Decidimos ir a ver la segunda entrada, y comprobamos que hay 2 guardias estacionados, por lo que podemos afirmar que los controles en esta ciudad son bastante estrictos.

Miro a Ruijerd y recuerdo la conversación que tuvimos en el asentamiento Migurd.

"¿Qué hacemos, Ruijerd-san? ¿Nos dejarán entrar sin problema en la ciudad?"

"Nunca he entrado en ella, siempre me detienen el paso hasta echarme."

Sin tener en cuenta el trato que reciben de la raza humana, en general, la raza Supard es muy odiada, hasta el punto de que actualmente me parece un odio casi genético como el de los nazis.

Y más después de ver la reacción de Eris... Aunque inicialmente pensé que estando en el continente demoniaco no sería tan problemático, pero parece que me equivocaba.

"Hablando del tema, ¿qué impresión te dieron tus perseguidores cuando te expulsaban?"

"Al principio, cuando me iba acercando a la ciudad, los guardias comienzan a gritar, y poco después un gran número de aventureros aparece apoyando a los guardias."

Los eventos que describe en mi cabeza los imagino siguiendo sus palabras, al principio los guardias le gritan que se detenga y al no hacerlo, y un gran número de hombres musculosos van apareciendo sin cesar para atacarle.

"En ese caso, supongo que lo mejor será que uses un disfraz."

Tras decirle esto, Ruijerd se muestra resentido y me clava su mirada.

"¿Has dicho un disfraz?"

Por su actitud, diría que algo sobre esa idea no le ha gustado nada.

"Espera y cálmate, antes de nada es necesario que entremos en la ciudad, por eso..."

"No es eso, ¿qué quieres decir con un disfraz?"

"¿Eh?"

Pues parece que el problema era que no sabía lo que era un disfraz... ¿No conoce la palabra o no existe en esta cultura? Imagino que si supiera lo que es, ya lo habría intentado antes.

"Un disfraz es algo que utilizas para cambiar tu apariencia externa para conseguir ocultar tu identidad."

"¿Oh? ¿Y de qué forma se aplicaría en este caso?"

"Pues no sé, aunque por ahora, podríamos ocultar tu rostro."

Para aplicar el disfraz que se me ha ocurrido, coloco mi mano en el suelo y comienzo a recolectar maná.

3ª Parte

"¡Alto!"

Había varios soldados posicionados a la entrada de la ciudad, una persona con cara de cerdo (literal) y pinta de sinvergüenza, junto a otro con cabeza de serpiente y que parece más severo.

"¡¿Quiénes sois y a qué habéis venido?!"

El hombre-serpiente nos pide que nos identifiquemos mientras agarra la espada que lleva en la cintura; mientras que el hombre-cerdo mira a Eris de una forma bastante indecente.

Maldito cerdo (pedófilo)... aunque creo que podríamos entendernos con él.

"Somos viajeros."

Tal y como lo acordamos, soy yo quien se presenta en cabeza del grupo.

"¿Sois aventureros?"

"Esto... No, no lo somos, tan solo simples viajeros."

Casi le respondo sin pensar que sí lo éramos, pero no tenemos prueba alguna de ello, ¿sería extraño si Eris y yo a nuestra edad dijéramos que queremos unirnos al gremio de aventureros?

"Eh, ¿y el hombre del fondo? Parece sospechoso."

Ruijerd estaba ocultando su rostro con un yelmo completo que hice de roca, además, tiene su lanza cubierta con una tela, por lo que parece bastante a un váculo o vara.

Es sospechoso, pero sigue siendo mejor que ir mostrando que es un Supard.

"Es mi Aniki, que intentó ponerse el yelmo de un aventurero extraño y fue incapaz de quitárselo después."

Imagino que podrían tener a alguien en los guardias que fuera a removerlo antes de dejarnos entrar, pero quizás...

¡Jajaja! ¡Menudo idiota! En ese caso no hay más remedio que dejaros pasar, intenta que la anciana de la tienda de herramientas mágicas os ayude para poder quítarselo."

El cabeza de serpiente retrocedió mientras se reía..., no son para nada tan cautos como imaginé. Si esto fuera Japón, no dejarían tranquilo a un hombre con yelmo que le tapara toda la cabeza, sería demasiado sospechoso.

¿Quizás es porque le acompañan niños? Quizás al ir con niños, el tipo del yelmo no es tan sospechoso a sus ojos.

"Por cierto, ¿conoce algún lugar en el que podamos trabajar en la ciudad?"

"¿Un lugar donde trabajar? ¿Para qué queréis saber algo así?"

"Sería terrible si no pudiéramos quitarle el casco a mi Aniki porque nos pudieran dinero a cambio, si así fuera, necesitaríamos trabajar para pagarlo."

El hombre serpiente se puso a murmurar algo como, ya veo, esa vieja es capaz de hacer algo así.

Parece que esa tienda de herramientas mágicas es un negocio rentable, aunque bueno, no es nada que nos importe.

"En ese caso, os recomiendo el gremio de aventureros; en ese lugar, aun siendo extranjeros sin blanca como vosotros, podéis ganar un sueldo con el que vivir."

"Ya veo."

"El gremio de aventureros está siguiendo recta esta calle en la ciudad. Es un edificio grande, así que lo veréis rápido."

"Muchísimas gracias."

"Si estáis registrados como aventureros, las posadas os cobrarán un poco menos, así que puede ser una buena idea ir, aunque sea tan solo a registraros."

Le respondí inclinando la cabeza mientras atravesamos el pórtico, tras lo que me detuve para preguntar.

"Ahora que lo pienso, ¿la seguridad en esta ciudad ha sido siempre tan estricta?"

"No, es solo que últimamente, se han oído rumores sobre que han avistado a Dead End por los alrededores, por eso estamos tan alerta."

"¡¿Qué dices?! ¡Ese nombre es aterrador!"

"Vaya, tienes razón, rezo para que se vaya rápido a otra parte."

El nombre completo es 'La Muerte Segura, Dead End, es un nombre aterrador, debe de pertenecer a algún monstruo peligroso y terrible, no me cabe duda.

4ª Parte

After entering the town.

A town with a bit less activity than Roa was spread out before our eyes.

However, I got the feeling that I had seen a similar organization to this town somewhere.

Near the entrance to the town were the merchant related inns, related stables, and stores all connected.

"Now then, adventurers huh?"

If I put together all the things I've heard about them so far, adventurers are similar to dispatched company employees.

A wide variety of people seeking jobs go to the Adventurers Guild and take on jobs to increase their status.

People call jobs given by the Adventurers Guild commissions.

Adventurers with confidence in their abilities are dispatched to take care of the job.

"I don't know if we'll be able to earn money, but would it be a good idea to register for now? It seems like they would ask for something to prove our identity, what do you think Eris?"

"Adventurers! I want to! I will!"

I noticed Eris's eyes sparkling.

Come to think of it, Eris has heard of countless stories from Ghyslaine's adventuring days.

Unexpectedly, it seems she longed to be one.

"Ruijerd-san, are you already an adventurer?"

"No, I've never been allowed in a town big enough to have an Adventurer's Guild."

I see.

I understand now, Adventurer's Guilds are only in larger towns.

"Well, if that's the case then it's better I guess?"

Plans are steadily being worked out in my head.

He can't be expected to always wear that heavy looking helmet after all.

If he always has to hide his face, then he'll never clear up the Supard races reputation.

If only we could do something great and then all of a sudden say it was a Supard all along!

It would be good if there was that sort of flow, but supposedly all the lowest rank adventurer jobs are in the town.

Rather, instead of trying to do something big, going around and doing a large number of these small tasks could be a better way to change the opinion of people.

If you do it well enough, his trust all around the town will go up.

There are no problems with Ruijerd's character.

If he could suddenly save the town from a strong monster, he might even be received well!

Speaking of which, saving a lost child, that sort of scenario could work as well.

That was proven in the Migurd village.

Rather than defeating monsters, it seems we should focus on saving people.

Come into contact with people with no prejudice.

If it was just Ruijerd's character, then that would be plenty.

However, for saving people this helmet is not very good.

Being unable to see his expressions is a minus.

Even I wouldn't be able to trust a guy whose face I can't see.

Should we go with a helmet that only hides the hair?

No, that would still be suspicious.

I don't know if there's culture in this world as well where people remove things they are wearing on their head or not, but I would find it quite rude.

However, doing small things here and there would take quite a bit of time.

It should be something that can spread the existence of Ruijerd throughout the entire town.

"Hmmm? What should be done."

First off is gaining a degree of popularity.

It doesn't matter how good of a thing is done, if it is done by a nameless young man, then there's no point.

As expected, in order for his name to be remembered, the first should be a large monster extermination.

In this world those with power are accepted is the tendency.

If we were to exterminate a monster with quite a bit of infamy, a good amount of popularity is likely to arise.

Although, in the case of the Supard race, it's already well known how strong they are, so it could have a reverse effect.

Wait a minute, but, in the case that there is a crisis approaching the town what would happen.

While everyone is hiding from the dilemma, singing songs of their fate, the one who appears before them is Magic Continent's Beautiful Young Man, Ruijerd, kind of feeling and then he defeats the enemy in one hit.

Oh, doesn't that sound kind of good?

The problem is, what that enemy would be, just before we heard a name that sounds relatively good.

"Ruijerd-san. Do you know what this being known as [Dead End] is about?"

If we could lure this monster known as [Dead End] into the town.

The town would then panic.

Then Ruijerd appears and defeats it.

A completed story of good defeating evil.

It's perfect.

However, the answer I heard was outside of my expectations.

"It's about me."

"What does that mean?"

What is that?

Wait, was that a philosophical answer?!

Is what I was thinking when...

"In this region that is how they call me."

Ruijerd = [Dead End].

Is what appears to be the case.

I see now.

I comprehend it now.

If you saw a Supard race walking around near the town, then you would definitely be quite cautious.

Ha??

Nevertheless, to be feared to the extent that he would have such a dangerous sounding second name.

Exactly how afraid of him are people?

Jeez, gate guard do your job a little bit more properly would you.

Surely, they don't even see the Supard race as people in the first place.

They're a magic race that are out raging about, so there's no way they would possess enough intelligence to disguise themselves is what they must think.

"What is there that can be done?"

However, this second name, it seems to be quite well known.

We could be able to make use of it.

"There's not some sort of reward out for your head is there right?"

"Ah. That is alright."

Is that the truth?

That's the truth right?

I'll believe in you?

It would be bad if you were lying.

For now, a small change of plans.

Part 5

First, we should check out the open air shops before we head to the Adventurers Guild.

The open air shops in the vicinity of the entrance are all the same no matter where you go.

Even though I say that, the market price was largely different.

Furthermore, the things that were being sold were largely different.

For example, a place that would be like a stable selling horses in Roa, is selling creatures similar to lizards.

I'm sure with all the rocks and hills in the Magic Continent, these sorts of creatures are more useful than horses.

Also, there are no large multi-person carts, but merchants all have their own individual carts.

For the long journey ahead, there are a number of things we want.

It's seems there's a necessity to buy things one at a time.

However, the things to buy this time are already decided.

After looking around at the market price and picking the cheapest place possible.

It's not like we're in a particular hurry, but we also don't have all that much time to spare.

The items I have my eyes on are dyes and a hood. Also, if possible something like a lemon would be good.

"Old man, aren't these dyes a bit expensive? This isn't a showcase?"

"Don't say stupid things, it's a reasonable price."

"Is that the truth?"

"Obviously!"

"Though, they're selling the same thing for half price over there?"

"What?!"

"The quality seems to be a bit lower over there though. Ah, this hood is good. If I buy this and that lemon looking thing over there together, will you give me a discount?"

"Boy, you're quite skilled in this business. I understand. Take it."

"Ah, that's right. Buy this from us. It's fur from Pack Coyotes and fangs from Acid Wolves?"

"There's quite a few there. Hold on a second. Two, three, four. How does 3 scrap iron coins sound for the lot?"

"That can't be the case. Shouldn't it at least be 6 coins?"

"There's no way that's the case. Then 4 coins."

"Okay, let's go with that."

After going through some browsing and negotiations, we can buy and sell all at the same time.

Since I don't know what the market price is, I have no idea how much money this really is.

Honestly speaking, just going by looks of things during negotiations, I got the feeling we just barely got a reasonable price.

Our remaining funds are 1 iron coin, 4 scrap iron coins, and 10 stone coins.

It's the money we received from Roxy's parents.

I need to make sure we use it carefully.

We entered an unpopular back alley.

It would be good if we didn't get involved with any weird guys.

No, if we get involved with them they could be willing to give Ruijerd all their money.

It could be a chance to increase our money.

"Ruijerd-san. If anyone tries to mess with us, let's go with half killing them."

"Half killing? All but dead, but not quite killed is what you're saying?"

"No, you can just normally dust them off."

However, unfortunately, no one came to mess with us.

No, honestly it was unfortunate.

Although, there were some pretty rough looking guys.

They most likely had no money though either way.

"Ruijerd-san. First let's dye your hair."

"Dye, my hair?"

"Yes. With this dye."

"I understand, you're going to change the color of my hair. You sure think up some interesting things."

I was admired.

It seems in this world there are no customs of dying hair a different color.

No, it could just be that Ruijerd doesn't know?

It doesn't seem like he's gone near very many human villages after all.

"However, wouldn't it have been better to go for a much different color than that?"

The color I selected was a blue color.

I chose the one as close as possible to the color of Migurd race as I could.

"No, there's a Migurd race village a three day walk from here. There should be quite a few people who know that. Since that's the case, from today forward Ruijerd-san is a Migurdo race."

"Then you guys are??"

"We are henchmen numbers one and two that you picked up somewhere around here."

"Henchmen? Not equal warriors?"

"It's that sort of setting. There's no need for you to remember it, but in order for others to think that is the case, I will be acting as such."

What we're going to do from here is an act.

I told Ruijerd of the setting.

From today on, Ruijerd is now the Migurd race young man Roisu pretending to be Supard races [Dead End].

The young man from the Migurd race known as Roisu has always wanted to be an existence feared by people.

Then one day he picked up two children.

Children who could use magic and swordsmanship.

They adored the Roisu who saved them.

"Do you adore me?"

"I don't particularly."

"I see."

These two were fairly strong.

Then watching them Roisu thought of something.

In the Migurd race I'm quite tall.

If I call myself Ruijerd the [Dead End], it would be easier to make everyone fear me.

Now feel free to go out and fight, the two you go out and incite others well.

These two were children, but they were quite useful.

Using the two of them, he could quickly become quite famous.

"He's pretending to be me and using my name, an unforgivable man."

"That is true, certainly he cannot be forgiven. However, if the false Ruijerd does good things. What would people think about it?"

"What would they think about it?"

"He's very obviously a fake, but he's quite the good guy even so, is what they would think."

What is necessary is comedy and mismatch.

He's the type of that would deceive others, but he's actually a pretty good guy.

It's important to make others think that.

"Hmm?"

"The fake Ruijerd is a good guy. If those sorts of rumors float around then it's in the bag. Eventually the rumors will become vague and turn into a "Ruijerd is a good guy." sort of shape."

"That is certainly amazing, but will it really become the case?"

"It will."

I can assert that it will.

At the very least, the current Ruijerd here can't lower his current reputation any lower.

The current point is the lowest possible reputation after all.

"I see, is it alright if it's something as simple as that?"

"It's not simple at all. I'm not sure if we can make it succeed or not."

Plans are things that are always certain to fall apart at some point.

The more detailed and thorough you are, the easier it is to come up with further plans in the following half.

However, if all goes well, rumors will become rumors, gathering up, and Ruijerd's true nature will become clear to everyone.

"However, what if the lie gets out?"

"How could you say that? Ruijerd-san there's no lies at all about it."

"What do you mean?"

A Supard race calling himself as such while pretending to be a Migurd race.

If everything goes as planned, doing things that everyone likes is a good thing.

Even the name isn't false.

Roisu doesn't want it known that he's a real Supard race, so he calls himself Ruijerd in front of others.

Ruijerd of the Supard race.

The people looking at it from the outside will at their own convenience be mistaken that it's the Roisu of the Migurd race pretending to be Ruijerd.

That's why there's no lies about it.

The only one lying is me.

However, Ruijerd seems like he'll resist standing behind lies, so I'll stay quiet about that part.

"The other side will come to the mistaken conclusion that you're of the Migurd race at their own convenience."

"Hm? Ah, I see. I'm pretending to be myself, while Roisu is the fake? My head is getting all mixed up. What do I need to do?"

"Just continue as you do normally."

Ruijerd made a complicated face.

This guy certainly couldn't make it as an actor with his acting skill.

"However, please don't snap and kill anyone who comes at you with cheap provocations."

"Hmm? That is, are you telling me not to get into any fights?"

"It's fine if you do, but please act as if you are struggling. Let a few hits get in, slump your shoulders and make it appear like in the end you somehow or other won."

Even if I say that, I'm not sure if he could manage that sort of acting.

Is what I thought, but,

"Do you mean to go easy on them?"

It seems that will be alright.

"There's no way the real Ruijerd could be this weak, while at the same time, if it's the real thing he's pretty amazing, right? Is what we want to make them think."

"I don't really get it."

"It will make them think that this side is a fake and at the same time make the enemy feel better about themselves."

"After making them feel better about themselves then what."

"Rumors that the Supard race is weak will start to flow out."

Then, Ruijerd made a very grim face.

"The Supard race is not weak."

"I am aware of that. However, you are feared, because you are strong. If people feel you are a bit weaker, they could feel a bit more relieved like right now."

Even if I say that, we can't really let them think we're all that weak.

If there are still Supard race living in some unknown place.

They could start being persecuted again.

Balance is important.

"Is it that sort of thing?"

Well then, it's this sort of thing.

If we just keep wandering around aimlessly, we'll eventually give ourselves away.

"I'll be doing my best to support, so where we fall will depend on how much effort Ruijerd puts into it."

"Ah, I understand. I'm counting on you."

I used the fruit juice received from the lemon-like fruit to bleach Ruijerd's hair.

The original emerald green color was successfully bleached.

Then the dyes were applied for the coloring.

Hmm.

It's not really very pretty.

Rather, it's pretty dirty looking.

But, at the very least it's not a greenish color.

It doesn't really look like a Migurd race though? The difference in height is too big.

However, he doesn't really look like a Supard race either I guess.

Well, disguises are just right when they are pretty vague I guess.

A Migurd race like person naming themselves as a Supard race, but something that feels like neither or so.

"Also, I'll let you hold onto this."

I removed the necklace and put it around Ruijerd's neck.

"This is from the Migurd village, huh."

"Yes. It's something I received from my shishou as a graduation gift. Since then, I've always had it on me."

If he wears it then at the very least he will seem a bit more like someone with a relation to the Migurd race is what I think.

For those who are aware at least.

"It's a precious item. Make sure to return it. Absolutely, return it."

"Ah."

"If you lose it I'll seriously try to beat you up."

"I understand."
"In regards to what I will do specifically, I'll use earth magic to completely seal up the entrances to the town, then make magma flow into the town until the crater is completely full."

"Even if it involves other people? There's children among them as well."

"If you want to save the lives of the children, make sure you absolutely don't lose it."

"Hmm? If you're that worried about it, shouldn't you just keep holding onto it in the first place?"

"No, it was a joke of course."

"???"

Now then, I'll have Eris wear the hood.

Her red hair stands out quite a bit.

We need to try and focus the gazes on a single point.

"Eris, it's about this hood, but?"

After saying that and spreading the hood out, I noticed there were holes for ears.

How could this be.

It's like the kind of hood monks in Final Fantasy III would be wearing.

The color is not quite white, but it has a mantle like part flowing out the back.

It seems to be something for the Beast race.

This could have been a mistake to buy.

Eris isn't normally bothered by clothes very much.

However, if you see that Boreas style greeting you would understand.

She probably doesn't want to wear anything that associate her with the beast race.

"Um... Eris, it's about this, but..."

"Th! That! Wh, what are you going to do about it!"

"It...it's for Eris, could you somehow.... wear it?"

"Really?!"

Is what I thought, but it seems she was really happy about it.

That pose doesn't seem to be one of dislike.

"I'll treat it carefully."

After quickly putting on the hood, Eris had on a full face smile.

Well, it's that, right.

I don't really get it, but anyways, alright!

Now then, first off is the Adventurer's Guild.

What is necessary is comedy.

We can't go forgetting that.

I'll be praying it goes well.
