Seems that the thieves toppled the knights with ropes and casting nets, and attacked them. When the knights come into our view, they're desperately struggling to fight back from inside the net. The net looks easy to cut with a sword, are they amateurs?The thieves are also frantically attacking them, but since the knights are wearing full body armor, the attacks aren't quite getting through.Since there are only three archers of the thieves, Pochi and I split up to take them down from the trees. I wonder why they're always on the tree. It's a mystery.The thieves who have noticed us are coming toward us, but they've already been reduced by half when they're around 200 meters before us. Mia attacked with Mustard Mist, and the thieves who were coughing in fit got quickly incapacitated by the beast girls. Nobody seems to have died for the time being.I leave the wagon to Lulu and ask Nana whom I've cast with Shield to protect her.I also use Shield on myself and head toward the battlefie

"Here's the luggage we have recovered from the thieves.""Oh dear, you even got our luggage on top of helping us."Hayuna-san says thank you while receiving the luggage. Toruma-shi peeks into the luggage and asks after hesitating."Have you seen a dagger inside the luggage?""Those were the only things in the hideout. But there should be many of that from the thieves' belongings.""It's a dagger with a white leather sheath...""If it's that one, it was held by the leader-like bearded daruma. Wait a minute."While saying so, I take out a dagger from the toolbox on the edge of the wagon. Of course, I took it out of the storage. The dagger's shear is relatively simple, but there's a beautiful family crest design placed at one point, it's quite fashionable. The blade is not a magic tool, but it's made from mithril forged by dwarves."Is this it?""Yes, that's it!"Toruma-shi who's going to receive the dagger from me is stopped by Kagari's words."Wait, that's our appropriate reward for ex

The night has been cold for the past few days, so the couple is sleeping inside the wagon. Leaving aside Ossan, it'd be troubling if Hayuna-san caught a cold and infected the baby.The combination for the night watch duty today is different than usual.Usually, Mia, Lulu, and I are the first, then Pochi, Tama, and Nana for the second, and then Liza and Kagari for the last, but today, Mia is replaced with Kagari."What are you making?""It's Circuit Liquid."In most textbooks they're only called magic liquid or Liquid.The one I'm making now is different from normal Liquid. I'm making the recipe hidden in that bundle of papers.Yup, even though the raw materials are different, the way of making it is the same as normal Liquid."Fuh~n, huh?　Isn't it usually shining red?"Kagari is quite observant. I don't answer Kagari since I'm concentrating right now. I continue putting magic while watching the Liquid shine blue.I pour the finished Liquid into the Circuit carved on one half of the wo

"I promise, it won't be dangerous."If it's just me alone then it'd be alright. The opponent is just a level 30. Moreover, I have a magic attack and magic shield, not only physical now."No, I'll go with you."That's bad. The demon is in the forest right now, but I don't know when it's going to be back. I want to leave Kagari in the safe zone."If you say further than that, I'll use 『Order』.""Try it, my maiden's heart won't lose to such a thing like 『Order』."It can't be helped.I didn't want to use 『Order』 as much as possible."Kagari, this is an order. Go to the village I've said earlier and ask the mayor about the work. Wait in the village until I get there."After telling so, I go down the wagon.I hear something falling on the ground behind me along with Lulu's short scream.When I turn around, I see Kagari crawling here while her face becomes blue."I w, will absolutely go with you. This time... I won't... Let you go alone... Ha."By disobeying my order, she's not only tormente

"Father and sister are being tricked."How many times have I told this to them? Yet, my words didn't reach anyone. And now, those vulgar ruffians are strutting this castle like it's their own.Maybe that's why. I feel like something is calling me, and I've strayed to the old, old collapsed building inside the castle.It's an old building that has been around in this Marquis Muno castle since 20 years ago.It has already been 15 years since my father received this territory. My mother, sister and me arrived in this castle 16 years ago, we've never left even once since then. The time when Uncle Toruma came to play during my childhood was the most fun time.Even though it's called a castle, there are small forest and a pond inside its grounds, maybe it's to show the power of a marquis, so I don't really feel locked up.I've searched through the inside of the castle, but this is the first time I'm here. Usually, the maid will not let me inside saying, "It's dangerous."I wonder if this is
