The Radar which has only been displaying white dots until now, suddenly shows a lone red dot.It's near.The man pretends to stagger while plunging straight at me. His hands are holding a box wrapped in velvet cloth. A scammer, or should I say a fraudulent extortionist.He's coming with a speed and distance that normally would be unavoidable, but I avoid it naturally.From the surroundings' viewpoint, it probably looks like a man suddenly falls down on his own. The fact that it is, but..."Aaah! My heirloom's pot!"He cried out loud, we cannot not get involved now.After I avoided the man, I confirmed that Liza and Kagari had completely ignored the man and kept walking, properly following me. Seems that Kagari had also noticed it with her Sense Evil."Hey, you! Don't run away!"The man holds the broken pot with one hand and grabs me with the other.Matching the timing with when he grabbed me, I made him faint. The people around should see it as if he fainted because he was too exasper
"We only have horse-carriage cabs here. If you want to buy a carriage then order it on the merchant guild inside the inner wall."I tried talking to the people in the stable areas near the gate, but they didn't sell it there. Is this like trying to buy a car at a taxi stand? I'm a bit ashamed."The merchant guild should have them if you're fine with used ones. They were looking for buyers if I'm not mistaken."A different coachman interrupts while we are talking.I thank him, and then I ride in his carriage cab to the merchant guild. I asked Kagari and Liza to carry the luggage back to the inn.The coachman who has escorted me to the merchant guild kindly mediates with the guild for me."We don't usually sell to people outside of merchant guild members, but since you're introduced by Yosagu-san, let's make an exception."Yosagu is the coachman's name. It doesn't really matter, but the merchant here is Sunifun-san.He showed me two carriages. One of them is a covered wagon. The inside
I sit on the bed while putting the bag on the side.Kagari takes off her mantle as soon as she enters our bedroom, and when she starts to take off her clothes too, I stop her with a chop to her head."Ouchie~ What, didn't you lust for me?""Let's decide that after 10 years.""No way~ This is a chance to violate the precious body of a boy..."While chattering pointlessly, Kagari still proceeds to wear her clothes back and sits on the opposite bed."You said something about consultation at noon, right? Did anything happen?""Wonder where should I begin...""Why don't you tell me all about it? They said that the king has donkey ears~."Doesn't that story end with everything coming to light?"Then how about removing the thing that you don't want to say? Though I couldn't tell it to anyone anyway if you order me not to~.""That's right..."The disposable long-range skill that I had when I first got here? Then I changed the story a little by only telling that it was used to annihilate each
"Demon lord you say, the kind that wants to rule the world?""Yes, the one who wants to destroy the world.""Where is it coming from?""I don't know, maybe hell?""Don't look at me with those eyes~ From what was written in the book, it's said that they're invaders from a foreign world.""Is foreign world different from another world?""I'm not a scholar so I don't know.""Is that 66-year cycle thing true?""Yep, there are records where the demon lord appears a bit sooner or later, but they generally seem to appear in 66 years.""So, it has almost been 66 years now?""It was 62 years ago since the last demon lord, but seems that it has been stealthily gaining power while in hiding. Since the demon lord before the last appeared 132 years ago, it wouldn't be strange if the current demon lord appears any day now."Kagari frowns forming a duck mouth. The beautiful little girl's look is ruined."I see, any sign of its coming?""If the world is in crisis, the god will tell it to the oracle~
It's aggravating to be filled with bad imaginations with no way to prove it. Even if it's the truth, the heroes should win against the demon lord like how it usually goes. If they lose, then I'll take responsibility for defeating the demon lord in place of the dragons.I take a deep breath several times and I'm becoming calm.Having high Mental Strength surprisingly has its merit.I come back to my room. Returning to the main subject.I want to do further verification and alchemy. Since the chanting practice needs to be done steadily, I have no choice but to do it on the way to the labyrinth city.First, let's verify the storage.I take out the meal.It's still warm.I lightly bite it. The taste is still the same.I put back the remaining meal to the storage.It's a bit late, but the item's name is [Seryuu Grill]. It needs a bit more ingenuity.I added a new memo called Storage Verification. I wrote the date and the state on the memo.For now, It can keep something warm, maybe it even
I take Kagari to the wagon. On the way there, I meet Martha-chan in the tavern, but she doesn't look particularly shy and offers me a meal.Since I intend to eat outside with Liza and the girls, I decline.When we got to the courtyard where the wagon was, the 4 girls were waiting while looking bored.When Liza notices me coming, she comes as the representative."Master, is it fine to put the luggage on board?""Let's see... Tomorrow, since we'll be picking more luggage from the merchant guild, let's do that tomorrow, but if we leave them here we'll be troubling the landlady huh."Kagari whispers to me when I'm still thinking about it."Let's keep them in my Item Box? Don't you think that it's safer there?""There are only people we know now, so it's fine I guess."I instruct the girls to pile the luggage inside the wagon for now.The three small girls get up to the wagon to receive the luggage. Since Pochi and Tama have strength stat on par with two large adults, they handle the heavy
I walk the town while enjoying the morning sunlight, feeling refreshed.Yosagu-san was unlike me, yawned constantly looking sleepy. I invited him for breakfast but since he didn't come home his family was probably mad so we decided to part ways outside the shop."If I made it big in the labyrinth city, let's come again.", I shouted him that.Even though it's early in the morning, the people who are having meals on the stalls, and the people who are selling fresh groceries are lively.The vulgar atmosphere that usually permeates in the east district was probably the fault of the visitors.I'm smelling something good from the stalls.Although I'm not particularly hungry, let's buy some souvenirs for the girls. Though I can't buy sushi in wooden box pack like those fathers from Showa era.I buy a big handbasket made from thin wood from a street stall. It's about as big as two rice bowl. I also bought two lidded containers for soup and put it inside the basket.I buy warm meals and put th
The bookstore is kept by the already recovered gray-haired old man, Semone-san isn't in the shop. I'm not able to worship that glorious proportion... regrettable.The shopkeeper gave me the map to Labyrinth City.How do I say this, it's a map that screams, "Measurement? What's that is it tasty?". Although I didn't expect it to have map symbols or contours, it's questionable if this thing has the concept of cardinal directions.My business is over with this, but the shopkeeper, demonstrating his commercial spirit and kindness, recommends me various books.Books that looks like they'll be useful for journeys like, "Journey to Royal Capital", "Dictionary of Herbs", "Carriage Repair Reverse Dictionary", etc, I'm charmed by their titles so I buy all the recommended ones.There are introductory books for woodworking, smithing, engraving, and various manufacture-related books, but since there's no demand and coupled with that they're old books, they don't sell well at all.When I show an int
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
