Part 4
The three injured Dwarves had their shoulders dropped, crestfallen.
「Uuu……So you weren’t……just a simple Magician……」
「So this is a hero……」
「……That is why, I said we should stop.」
They were dripping in grudges.
For them to be able to still stand even though he hit them with 《Matoi Izuna》 and 《Absolute Zero》 without holding back, they had quite the HP. No wonder he claimed to be a king of the Dwarf race.
Sylvie folded her arms and glared at them.
「This is Diablo-san’s victory, right?」
「Kuh……」
「Although you guys attacking us is a crime, it seems that you all have other crimes as well. I’ll listen to your stories in town.」
What a pain──is what Diablo thought as he scratched his head.
「Are we taking these guys back with us?」
「Just leave it to me.」
Sylvie took out a fist sized crystal.
Just now, was that from underneath her clothes?
She was wearing a string-like outfit that covered little surface. It was a mystery as to where she kept it.
Sylvie held the deep blue crystal in her hand, and asked a question to the Dwarves.
「Be sure to answer me carefully. There will be no mercy if you state a lie──What are your real names?」
The three of them said their names.
At that moment, amazingly, the Dwarves were sucked towards the crystal.
「「「AAaaaaaaaaaaaah～～～!?」」」
And into the crystal that Sylvie held in her hand.
Looking closely, the three of them were flustered inside of it.
Diablo opened his eyes wide.
「What in the world was that!?」
「It seems to be a crystal that imprisoned them in the 《Void》. Although I don’t know the exact details……In the past, I received it from a person that called herself a witch.」
「A witch……」
Something like an item that could imprison Players and characters didn’t exist in the MMORPG Cross Reverie.
Was the activation condition to have them reply what their name is? In his own case, would it activate if he answered with “Diablo”? Or could it be with his name from the original world?
Sylvie put the crystal away underneath her clothes.
「You don’t have to be on guard, I won’t use it on you, Diablo-san.」
「I wonder about that? I cannot drop my guard around you.」
「I’d like for you to trust me. Even though I look like this, I am grateful to you, you know? Even against those three just now, I wouldn’t have been able to win if I were alone.」
Certainly, just going by what he had seen in the battle up until now, Sylvie was a user of Support Magic.
Her affinity with the three that wore Void Magic armor was definitely bad.
「However, I have no idea what you are holding after all.」
「Ahaha……It isn’t that great of a trick you know?」
Sylvie took a small bag out from underneath her clothes. It was small enough to fit on her child-like palm.
He had a recollection of it.
In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, it was the item bag that one possessed at the beginning. Quite a lot could be put inside of it.
When real world money was spent to expand it, it would become like the pouch that Diablo possessed, and could end up holding many times more items though.
「……It, it can’t be, are you also a Player!?」
Sylvie tilted her head.
「Pureiyaa? This was also something that I received from that witch. She told me that she was an existence that was disconnected from the logic of this world.」
If that’s the case, is that witch also a Player just like Diablo?
「The witch, where is she?」
「She died. It’s because this is a story from a really long time ago.」
Sylvie held out the small bag.
「Diablo-san, if you say that you can’t trust me, I’ll hand this over to you. If I do, then you can be at ease, right?」
Even the early personal belongings in the game were super ranking Magic Tools in this other world.
Moreover, there was no mistake that even the things inside were abnormal items.
Diablo shrugged his shoulders.
「There is no need to.」
「Really?」
「I will not trust anyone, nor will be frightened like some small timer. More importantly, we have been delayed due to an insignificant nuisance. Let’s hurry on ahead.」
Turning his back to her, he walked forward.
*Tetete* Sylvie caught up to him.
「Fufu……Thank you.」
Diablo’s group went to the deepest part of the 《Deep Green Cathedral》──arriving at the spot where the floorboards came off.
All that could be seen was mere dirt.
「This is……!?」
「Why don’t we try digging.」
When Sylvie moved some dirt out of the way, some grey came out.
Diablo also extended his hands out.
──To think that I would be digging out dirt with my bare hands.
A clump of metal that was like melted silver awaited within the dirt.
