�Ugh!�

There was a great stench.

�The smell must have been trapped in a place surrounded by mountains.�It depends on the quality of the air.�how���

Iruki looked under the mountain, but even the moon was covered by clouds, so he could not see anything.

�Let�s go.�

The downhill road was a little faster, and I arrived at the halfway point, illuminating the map in my head.

�what�s this���

The fence of a small village with about 100 families came into sight.

The signboard at the entrance to the village was broken, but it was unreadable due to dried blood.

�Let�s go in.�

Amidst the sound of the windows shaking in the wind, I saw a corpse lying on the street.

�Whoa!�

The maggot-covered corpse was so decomposed that even the beasts of the field were not interested.

Iru picked up a branch and looked at the body.

Key said.

�My head was broken by a blunt instrument.�

�Is it a demon?�

�Looking at the traffic line, the distance is too far.�Besides, the buildings are too intact to be the work of demons.�

�Then maybe it�s the aftereffects of an emotional illness���

This time, Sirone shook her head.

�It�s not impossible, but emotional disease will spread to the southwest from Tormia.�This is in the northeast, so it�s on the opposite side of the transmission route.�

Iruki threw a tree branch and said.

�Let�s take a look.�There might be survivors.�

The number of corpses increased towards the center of the village, and all of them were hit on the head with a blunt instrument.

�Sirone, here.�

The words �I am the King� were written in blood on the wall Nade pointed to.

The corpse of a man with two severed wrists sat beneath the wall, looking sullen.

�Sirone, do you know who it is?�

�no.�It�s already been 22 years, so I can�t tell just by looking at your face.�At least if you know the name���
