Big Brother's Fishing Journey

"Hmm... Is Castlevania actually a community of Lord Styx?

"Well... castle means castle in Romanian, and vania refers to Dracula, which is the real birthplace of Vlad III known as the devil in history - Transylvania..."

"So this word can be translated as Castlevania, that is, the super-large castle where adults live~" the brainy Izayoi suddenly analyzed the meaning in Castlevania.

"However, that fur ball usually looks like a mascot, so I don't know what it can do..." Izayoi muttered, turning his attention to the other two communities.

"'Rattenfanger'? Is that so, the community of the 'Ratcatchers'? Then tomorrow's enemy is simply Hamel's piper?"

Originally it was just an unconscious sigh, but the reactions of Kurotu and Shiroyasha beside him were surprisingly strong.

"You mean... 'Hamel's Piper'?"

"Wait, what's going on? Be careful, kid."

Seeing the two of them so surprised, Izayoi couldn't help but blink.

Shiroyasha lowered his voice and told the specific background of the question:

"Oh, I'm sorry, you who were summoned recently didn't know about this—the so-called 'Hammel's Piper' is the name of a certain demon king's affiliated community. By the way, Styx, you are in this demon king You left Hakoniwa before you became active, so you probably don't know..."

"what?"

"The name of the demon king's community is 'Grimm grimoire'. It is led by a summoner with a genius, and has summoned demons from more than two hundred grimoires."

"Moreover, multiple demons can be summoned from a magic book. The part that should be paid special attention to is that even the different world backgrounds of each chapter in the magic book are included. All the contents of the magic book are displayed on the game board. Its form has clearly established rules and coercive power, and it is an extremely powerful demon king."

"Hearing what you said, I'm interested in those magic books... Presumably Dalian will be very interested too..." Styx muttered.

"Dantalion? The 72st demon god among King Solomon's 71 demon gods? Does Castlevania even have this kind of existence? But even Belial, the sin of sloth among the seven demon kings of hell (the fire in chapter 11) Cow) are all there, so it's not surprising that there are other demons~" Izayoi said excitedly with his eyes wide open.

"Belil? Oh, you said the fire bull in the underground lava area...he is just a descendant of Belial, not the real Belial. Just like the one guarding the ice zone of Castlevania, there is another kind called Like Baal's ice frog. (From Devil May Cry 4, the second big boss.)”

"But Dalyan is the real deal."

"That child is my librarian, and she often spends time in the library. If you want to borrow books, you should meet her, but she may be weaker than Belial in terms of combat ability alone. Don't bully her. .” Styx warned.

"Hey, hey~ But, I'm really looking forward to the omniscient devil~" Izayoi's eyes were shining brightly.

"It wasn't an illusion to feel that there were other people in the library..." Leticia recalled.

"Okay, let's get back to the main topic." Bai Yasha clapped his hands and said.

"Why 'Rattenfanger' means 'Hammel's Piper.' Kid wants you to elaborate."

After thinking for a while, Izayoi showed an expression that suddenly thought of some prank, and reached out and grabbed Jin's head.

"So that's the case, I understand the situation. Since that's the case, let's ask our little one to explain."

"Huh? Ah, yes."

Except for Styx, who had been known for a long time, everyone's eyes were focused on Ren.Although Jin had already agreed, he showed a nervous expression because the topic suddenly came to him.Izayo pulled Jin's head towards him and whispered to him:

"Your opportunity to perform has come so quickly, show the results."

"Yes, it is!"

Ren coughed, first straightened his baggy robe, and then slowly began to narrate:

"'Rattenfanger' is a language spoken in a country called Germany, which means 'rat catcher'. And this rat catcher is actually a metaphor for "Hamel's Piper", one of the Grimm's fairy tale magic books. "

Everyone nodded, Ren continued to explain:

"In the original Grimm's fairy tales, there are several stages of story creation, all of which refer to historical textual research. 'Hammel's Piper' is one of them, and 'Hammel' is the town where the story takes place."

"Well, then why use the Ratcatcher as a metaphor?"

"Because the clown in Grimm's fairy tales is considered to be a clown who can manipulate mice."

Ren answered Shiroyasha's question smoothly, but Asuka next to him gasped.

'A clown manipulating mice? '

The previous attack flashed through Asuka's mind.Thinking about it carefully, when he was attacked, there was indeed a similar flute sound.

"Speaking of which, Asuka was attacked by mice before, right?" Leticia turned to Asuka and asked.

"Yes...and this child claims to be from the community 'Rattenfanger'." Asuka showed everyone the elf in the pointed hat who was sleeping sweetly on his lap. "

Asuka didn't think this elf was such an evil thing.

"Besides, those mice seemed to be coming for it..." Asuka argued.

She didn't want this little guy to be arrested as a subordinate of the Demon King.

"Attacked by a mouse? That means the real devil wants to get rid of this little guy. As for the purpose, it should be to hide something. In other words, this little guy has clues that can threaten the attacking devil."

"Then this community that calls itself 'Rattenfanger' has something to do with the Demon King, but it should stand on the opposite side of them, and even use this name specifically to remind us of the Demon King's true identity." Styx thought for a while, and expressed his guess.

"Oh, is that so?" Asuka let go of his worries when he heard Ming He's words.

"Asuka, try to get as much information from this little guy before the devil's attack, and I will leave this matter to you." Bai Yasha said seriously.

"Yes!" Asuka replied excitedly.

"However, although the possibility of 'Rattenfanger' being the Demon King has been ruled out, the possibility of 'Hamel's Piper', the remnants of the Destroyed Demon King sneaking into the Fire Dragon Birth Festival has become very high."

"YES. Since the participants couldn't bring the 'sponsor authority' into the festival, the other party may have other means."

"Ah? What do you mean by that? This is the first time I've heard of it." Sixteen nights raised his own doubts.

"After hearing that the Demon Lord would appear, I arranged the minimum countermeasures. That is, using my 'organizer authority', I added some conditions to the festival participation rules. You can refer to this for details."

After Shiroyasha waved his finger, a glowing parchment appeared, which recorded the matters of the birth ceremony.

"Fire Dragon Birth Festival

?Issues when participating in the festival:

[-]. It is forbidden for general participants to hold gift games where communities compete with each other in the stage area and free area.

[-]. Without the permission of the organizer of the festival, participants with "authority of the organizer" are prohibited from entering the festival area.

[-]. Participants are prohibited from using the "sponsor authority" in the festival area.

[-]. Persons other than participants are prohibited from invading the stage area and free area within the festival area.

Oath: Respect the above content, based on the name of glory and flag and the authority of the sponsor, hold the gift game.

"Thousand Eyes" printed

"Salamandra" India

Izayoi nodded slightly after reading the parchment that appeared in his hand.

"'None of the participants can enter the game', 'Participants can't use the sponsor's authority'? Indeed, according to this rule, even if the demon king attacks, you can't use the 'sponsor's authority'."

"Well, in short, the parts that can be controlled should be under control."

"No, Shiroyasha, you have been perfectly exploited by the attacking demon king~" Styx said with a chuckle after reading the parchment.

"Nani?!" Bai Yasha knew that his friend would not be aimless, that is to say, is there really any loophole in this?

"Master, do you mean the stained glass that you saw before?" Because she kept this matter in her heart, Leticia immediately realized it.

"Stained glass? How can it be repaired! So there is still such a method? Damn it, it was placed together..." Bai Yasha said angrily with a hammer on the table.

"It turned out to be sneaked in as a gift."

"I'm going to send someone to monitor all the stained glass related to 'Hamel's Piper', maybe there are important clues in it..." Saying that, Bai Yasha immediately got up and hurriedly left the guest room .

"If the stained glass is the key, why not just destroy it?" Asuka expressed doubts.

"Because this may be a trap set by the devil, or it may contain the key to unlocking the devil's game. Therefore, it is better to monitor it first than to destroy it." Rabbit, who has experienced the attack of the devil, explained with experience.

"Is that so..."

"I'll leave these things to Mr. White Yaksha, don't worry so much, the devil hasn't come yet, has he?" Black Rabbit comforted.

However, Styx forgot to say something in front of everyone. In addition to the attacking demon king, there are also four evil forces from Castlevania who also joined in~

Chapter 108 102 Communication Between Gentlemen

——Boundary wall, stage area.

Amid the deafening cheers, "Wu Ming" and Styx and the others sat in special seats.Since there were no vacancies in the general seats, Sandora made special arrangements to prepare seats for everyone on the balcony of the headquarters where they could watch the battle from above the stage.

Izayoi had a happy smile on his face, anxiously waiting for the opening of the finals.

Beside him, Asuka, who rarely fidgeted, was watching the conference in a state of anxiety.

"What's the matter, miss, you look restless."

"It's no wonder you don't worry after hearing what you said yesterday, the other party is above you~"

The person who answered was Shiroyasha.

"'Will o'wisp' and 'Rattenfanger'—both are communities that have established bases at the six-figure outer gate. Generally speaking, they will not participate in lower-level games. Even if the possible attack of the devil king is deducted, they should not Not easy to deal with."

"There is also Styx's 'Castlevania', it is definitely not an easy thing to enter the semi-finals..."

Asuka showed a bitter expression, she was probably worried about Yō.

Not to mention that the opponent is an unprecedented enemy, and there is also a demon king who has been confirmed to exist but has not yet appeared.

Asuka, who was sitting on a special seat on the balcony, was always fidgeting.

"Don't worry. This game is controlled by the referee, Kuroto, so you won't lose your life in this game where killing is prohibited. Besides, we have already warned Kasukabe, if you think you can't win, just give up and surrender. Nothing will happen. with dire consequences~"

"Speaking of which, Shiroyasha, how did you go to investigate yesterday?"

"The situation is not optimistic. We sent people to search the entire venue, and found nearly a hundred pieces of stained glass, some of which were even hidden in places that would not be noticed under normal circumstances... It has not been confirmed whether all of them have been found..."

"However, I have recorded the pattern on each piece of glass I found, let's discuss it together after the game is over..." Shiroyasha said solemnly.

"Wait...wait a minute, Lord White Yaksha, have you already obtained some information about the coming demon king?!" Sandora said in surprise when she heard the conversation between "No Name" and White Yaksha.

"That's right, it's all thanks to the members of 'Wu Ming' and 'Castlevania' who were able to learn so much information in advance~"

"It's amazing..." Sandora sighed.

As Ren's childhood sweetheart, she is also very happy that the other community has such outstanding talents.

"Cut..." Mandela spat on the side with disdain.
