We've passed 6 rooms since then, but we didn't encounter any more living humans. We came across several corpses though..."Master, the magic core recovery is complete.""Alright, let's take a break."Liza and the others are passing the water bottle around after drinking for a mouthful.Before I knew it, they way they call me has changed from [Danna-sama (Mister)] to [Goshujin-sama (Master)]. Since it seems easier for them to use that, I leave it alone.Liza drops the water bottle.Water is spilling from the fallen bottle..."I, I'm very sorry! Master!!!"Liza desperately picks up the water bottle. Her hands seem to be unsteady.Come to think of it, Pochi's and Tama's throwing accuracies were bad in the battle earlier too..."Are you tired?""I'm very sorry! I wasted the important water. Please punish me in any way."...You're exaggerating. No, Liza seems to seriously think that."Liza, we can just obtain more water. Rather than that, is your body okay?""I'm sorry... I feel heavy sinc
After two more rest along the way, we're finally around 80% of the way out of the labyrinth.Since the rest before the last one, we haven't seen any more victim's corpses.Pochi and Tama's equipment has changed to the ornamental short swords. That's the extent of the equipment change, but the three people are now level 13. It seems that their stats are about 3 levels higher than the average human kin.Pochi has [Enemy Search], [Throwing], [Dismantling], and [Short Sword] skills, Tama has [Dismantling],[Collecting] and [Short Sword], Liza has [Cooking],[Dismantling], [Spear] and [Thrusting] skills.It can be said that their strengths are now a world apart from when I first met them.If the enemy has no abnormal status attacks then even if it's level 20, the three can handle it. Although it could be dangerous to fight several enemies of the same level since there are no shield users..."That wall~ is strange?"Tama senses a strange sensation from the wall inside the room.When I stared
"The exit is probably after this. I have two reasons, first, there's a demon who, up until now, was nowhere to be seen. The other, the number of enemies is clearly different than anything before."Those reasons sure are weak eh~"...Why do those reasons mean that the exit is just up ahead, I can't understand.""How about we take a detour as suggested by that demi-human instead?"You're absolutely right... however! It's my turn now!"Viscount-sama, did you forget? This is a labyrinth made by a demon. They would put their kind in the place where they don't want to let people pass."Dang, I should've used this reasoning from the start."But we are completely outnumbered. I don't think we can beat such large crowds just by ourselves."I know right~"Of course we have a chance... That is with the magic of viscount-sama."I haven't seen him use it even once, but the firestorm used on the demon on the square back then was flashy. It should be enough as a shield.Oops, I shouldn't have known
We've come into a vacant lot about as wide as a schoolyard when we come out of the labyrinth.Surrounding the edge of the lot, are two-meter high fences. It looks to be hastily made.Since the outer wall can be seen from there, it seems that this is the square where the commotion was.Looking back at the labyrinth's entrance, it's a 3-meter high of sharp jet black rock with a hole. I wonder if it's made of obsidian?There are 3 turrets 50 meters away surrounding the entrance. Wooden barricades with sharp pointed tips lined up on the places where they don't obstruct the turrets' line of fire."Rin, come here please."Shina is calling from a tent across the fences.When we reunited, Shina hugged me without letting go, but her co-worker, Lilio, who was late, teased her so she jumped out in panic. ...She was definitely very worried. Did she favor me that much~?While Pochi and Tama hang on both of my hands, we go toward the tent. Liza follows 3 steps back from me. Are we a master and his
After several sessions of questions and answers, we're finally released.The sister official who was given our luggage passed it back to us."The things over here are fine to take back. However, the magic cores over there will be bought by the earl."Can I deny it? I tried to ask, but she answers me back with a [No] and a smile."Since we can't completely confirm the safety of this monster's meat, we will confiscate it. And since this spear is made from the monster's part, we can't allow you to carry it on the town."Liza overreacts to that and turns over here. T, the rarely mad Liza, is angry?Since she seems to really like it, let's negotiate for her."Since that spear is powerful, couldn't you ask a person with appraisal skills to check for any danger? Of course, I will bear the cost for the procedure, but could you give it back when it's finished?"Liza, you're scary. Scary. Look, even the sister's smile is cramping."I, I understand. I'll arrange it. The new custody receipt will
The slave market occupies around 200-300 meters in diameter of the square, bonfires are lighted every 20 meters away.Just like in a festival, several slender pillars of the wood stand, are connected with string tied with innumerable thin metal plates that glitter from the reflection of the lights from magic. If this wasn't a slave market, this fantastical feeling would have been perfect for dates...A rope is stretched in the place that looks to be the center of the auction.The slave auction hasn't been started yet, but several musicians on the stage are playing a tune that feels obscene.We don't enter the square and just walk along the square's street while sightseeing it."Rin-dono!"Dono? I don't know anyone who calls me...It was the slave trader whom we saved from the spider on the labyrinth, Nidoren-shi. Coming out from a small tent across the slaves carriage, he's coming here. Girls, who are chained together, are lined up on top of the carriage."The slaves on that carriage
A stark naked little girl is straddling on top of my waist....What the heck is this, a dream?I experienced a similar situation with my younger cousins during a long vacation at my grandfather's home in the countryside, long ago.The difference is that the little girl who's riding me now is naked, she doesn't have the same innocent atmosphere as my cousins.The little girl moves bit by bit, then she greatly trembles and snuggles against my bare chest. Her expression looks more like an adult woman rather than a little girl.While looking very calm, I am actually really shaken inside. I'm not a lolicon okay? Absolutely!Yet what's with this situation?After purchasing the two from Nidoren-shi the slave trader, we were...♦♦♦♦♦"I will vigorously attend to master without rest, day and night."The violet-haired little girl--Kagari said such a thing during the ritual of contract. Even though Liza et al and the black-haired girl--Lulu were silent, did she want to appeal to me?After the sl
"To be exact, Tachibana Kagari is a former Japanese who was reincarnated in Kubooku kingdom with her memory intact. Were you reincarnated too? No, judging from that black hair, you're a summoned hero, aren't you? Rin?"The AR doesn't display whether she's a originally Japanese or her real name, Tachibana Kagari.Since my stats didn't state if I'm a former Japanese, Rin Ichirou too, is it the same situation?"What's wrong, why did you stop talking? You're the second Japanese human that I've met."Hearing those words, my gaze turns toward Lulu who's sleeping in another bed."Lulu is different you know? It seems that her great-grandfather was a Japanese man, though I've never met him, in mind. Atavism is a cruel thing. She could have been an idol if she was born in Japan.""Your mind magic-"It's not"Did she use mind magic to make Lulu look ugly, I thought of that but she denied my word."This world's sense of beauty think that those who have flat face with thin lips, non-white skin, and
Both of the masks have been broken, so I put on a white mask that Kagari made for cosplay at her request. I feel like I know where the inspiration for it comes from, but it seems like it'd fall off easily, scary. I put on cheap clothes and a mantle, and head toward the hall's exit.The hall looks disastrous to the point that I admire it for not collapsing.The floors are turned upside down, several pillars are destroyed, and many places have become craters. Some of the craters have glasses formed from Furnace Flame (Forge). There isn't any trace of the altar.I should say as expected of a demon lord. I've just barely won even though my level is three times as high and fully loaded with items.It's unfortunate that I won't get a rematch--I don't have even the slightest bit of such thought.Fortunately, the opponent was a type weak with magic, but if it was strong in both points, I might have lost.I'll go watch the tournament at the capital and study sword techniques and battle forms.
It's probably the effect of the demon's unique skill. The demon has revived as an undead. The demon's upper body which should have been lost has also regenerated in the blink of an eye. There's no worth in defeating this guy.The two liuyedao were lost somewhere when I destroyed the upper body earlier, thankfully.I do have several trump cards, but since I don't know how many times the demon can revive, I won't recklessly use them. It's painful that one MP recovery potion only recovers 20% of my MP with one bottle.From now on, I'll charge magic swords and the holy swords whenever I'm free."It has been since Yamato that I have to resort to using Banpufutou's effect. O Nanashi, perchance you can beat me? Yamato took the heavenly dragon's lot along to attack my castle. You alone intend to be the equivalent of a hero and heavenly dragon."Fumu, since my name is blank, it's [Nanashi]. I guess I'll call myself Nanashi from now on.Thanks to the HP potion and self-healing skill, my wounds
"What's wrong, are you so scared you can't talk?"Moreover, she's swinging her arms matching her speaking rhythm, so her exposed breasts are shaking and swaying. I can't help but become interested in it since a while ago. Yup, they're big relative to her age."O black-haired hero. I do not care why you're hiding your appearance, but can you entertain me like Yamato? I won't forgive you if you bore me."I wonder if she has see-through skills, the girl's eyes are shining red.I'm sorry for the possessing demon who's trying to set up the mood, but at this time, I'm not thinking, "How do I defeat the enemy", but, "How do I get this fellow out of the girl's body", instead.I wonder if I could do something with Saint's title and magic healing somehow?It might be good to learn ways to exorcise demons. It'd be terrible if someone I know got possessed.Let's use persuasion skills here--I've also thought of such thing. Before I could open my mouth, the girl's time was up."Thanks for making my
A person who looks to be a leader-type is scolding us with a rough voice in front of the door that leads to the ritual room. The scolding is over quickly, I slip in with the society members to go into the door.I've thought of this since I mixed in a while ago, but they're full of leaks.They don't look like a group that would do such outrageous things as summoning items from hell. There's something mismatched about this. I wonder if there's someone who's pulling the string from behind?Well, whatever.There are probably only a few places where they can hold the ritual, so if I destroy this place, people who are thinking of doing misconducts will lay low.The ritual room is wide. The width is 200 meters, the height is 20 meters, and the depth is nearly 1 kilometer long. Of course, there are a lot of standing pillars, but they sure are strong for supporting such enormous weight. Is it due to [Fixture Magic]?My thought had wandered off for a bit.The nearly 200 men and women inside the
The ship carrying us is anchored at a place where the capital's night view can be seen. The port is crowded due to the tournament season, so we're waiting our turn. It seems the duke has issued an order to prioritize ships that are carrying supplies, there are a lot of other anchored ships.Since the captain has gotten the right to enter the port first thing in the morning tomorrow, it looks like we could enter the port without waiting tomorrow.Everyone was watching the night view until just now, but since the youth trope began to doze off, I made them turn back to the room.I hear light footsteps, I look back, and there's Kagari."You're going after all?""Ah."I answer briefly to Kagari who's giving off a strange atmosphere."I can't imagine you'd fall off against opponents at the level of short horn, but absolutely don't let your guard down, okay?""Ah, I know. Or rather, I'm going for it before the short-horn demons could appear."We wouldn't be able to tour the capital relaxed i
A birdman who's flying near the water's surface as if gliding passes over the ship.Pochi and Tama are waving their hands to the point as if they'd get torn off. It seems the birdman is also giving a service, he makes several turns and does a full revolution before flying away.I'm afraid that the two will fall since they lean forward too much while waving their hands, but since Liza seizes the girdle, it's probably alright.Even if they fall, there's [Float] that I've learned recently so it's fine, but there's no need for them to fall in the first place.It's basically a leisure on the ship.Yesterday, the ship was attacked by two aquatic monsters, but before we could go out, the Gillman soldiers who were escorting the ship cleaned it up. There was also a pirate group, the river version, that was going to attack on the river branch, but I attacked them with Short Stun from afar, and their boat got capsized the end.Since it's generally peaceful like that, I continue practicing signal
I'm waving my hands on top of the departing ship. It's not only Princess Menea and her escorts that have come to see us off, but even the viceroy couple and Miss Ririna.There were imprudent young nobles and hooligans that they had hired aiming for Liza's spear waiting in the harbor, but the viceroy soldiers skilfully arrested them before they could cause harm to us. It seemed Miss Karina's maids had notified the viceroy beforehand after they heard about some disturbing rumors.The nobles had probably seen Liza's spear during the fight with the demon yesterday, but they were really confident if they thought they could go against her even after seeing that fight.I want to leave miss Karina too if possible, but my reputation would become bad if I do leave my employer's daughter, so I give up."Fufufuhn, you've raised and collected flags of the new character huh! She should just disappear after this."New character... Please don't like a person with characters."Are you still thinking a
"Well then, everyone, please enjoy the specialties of Gugurian."The viceroy says so signaling the start of the banquet.The people in this dining room are the viceroy, his wife and his retainers, gentlemen and ladies--who are of course nobles with peerages. The guests are Princess Menea, Poni-san who acts as her escort,and also lady Karina and me. The influential people in the city are only invited when it's a buffet party.By the way, only adults are allowed to participate in the banquet and party, their children aren't.The dining table is decorated with flowers, and two maids accompany each guest. The tableware is silver knives, spoons, and forks. Besides the knife that looks like an extremely common dagger, the spoon, and the fork are like the ones used in the previous world. There is only one set of the tableware for each plate, but it gets exchanged with new ones when you've finished your meal it seems.The room is lit with magic light. It's not with magic tools, but a magicia
The princess' entourages, Yui and Aoi pondered if I, who's called Rin and has black hair and black eyes, was a Japanese. It doesn't seem that they're aware of Kagari's name.The girl before me, Yui, is summoned from the Southern Japan Federation in a country separated to north and south. The kind of country's setting that's often found in fictitious military stories. It seems to be a real country from what she's said, I guess I shouldn't say 'setting' out loud.However, I've thought that I could easily go home if I just went to Saga empire, but if there are parallel worlds, I have to rethink my plan. Although from the start, I don't intend to go back until after the livelihood of Kagari, Liza, and the others are guaranteed here, so it's fine."By Japan, do you mean the illustrious country referred to by hero?""Rin isn't from one?""My house has always given the name of the eldest son, Rin, for generations long. It's said that our ancestor is a Saga Empire hero, but there's no hero ca
