The wagon makes a clattering and rumbling noise as it travels through the highway between hills.Whenever small animals like rabbits and rats show up near the bushes, Pochi and Tama react as if they're going to jump out of the wagon. Every time it happened, Liza seized the two by their waists. Although the wagon is only about 20 Km/H fast, they won't get hurt even if they jump out."Pochi, Tama, you'll fall if you lean over too much, sit on the back of the coachman's stand."The two reply with good answers and place themselves on the left and right sides of the coachman's stand.Though it's probably only until they find something else.The winds are slightly cold, but since it's cloudless the warmth from the sunlight is pleasant.After we got out of Seryuu city for a while, we came into a forest, or rather, a gathering of branching thickets.The wagon shakes as the wheels climb up. From behind, I'm hearing Lulu's small shriek, and Kagari's abusive language, but I'll pretend that I di
After I've finished taking care of the horses, I begin to compound for deodorants behind the wagon. I want to do something about the intense smells of goat leather and wool.During compounding, Liza comes to ask if the meal is fine without soup since the firewood isn't enough. It's cold, and the black bread without the soup would be too hard.I catch a sight of the Light Hot Plate beside me which I've used to heat water for compounding.I decided to use this to help with cooking. After heating the soup with this, you could put the burning firewood until it's boiled. I'll leave the magic supply for Light Hot Plate to Kagari.Still, I didn't think that gathering fuel would be this hard. I should have bought them in Seryuu City.I'll take out scrap wood from the Storage if we get in a pinch. The fact that the Item Box could only store items with particular size is a bottleneck.I, who had been making deodorant behind the wagon, could smell the nice aroma of the soup. The finished deodora
"Yes~ 10 straight victories!""It's only Kagari who wins, unfair~ Pochi also wants to win~.""Tama too~"I can hear the little girl's voice from behind. The members beside me have been playing the learning cards for about 2 hours.Since I couldn't really look away, I don't know the details but it seems that Kagari has continued to childishly win."Kagari, here's the commemoration for 10 successive victories.""What is it? A picture book?""If you could win that many, then you should be able to read it right?""Nnn~ I could probably do.""Then read it for Pochi and Tama. If they're only studying the learning cards, they would get bored before they remember the letters.""Aye aye."At first, Kagari was reluctant with the picture book I held out, but she finally consented and spread the book open on the floor.Still, it's amazing that she could learn it in two days.Pochi and Tama who were complaining since a while ago, quietly sat and perked their ears when the story began.With nothing
I know from the radar that there is one flying ant coming here. Since there is a considerable speed difference, it's just a matter of time before it catches up."Lulu, evacuate from the coachman stand. Kagari, are you confident with your aim using the stun magics you mentioned earlier?""As long as the range is within 20 meters, it's fine."I take out a cane from the back of the wagon-actually take it from the Storage- and give it to Lulu who passes it to Kagari."Eh~ It's plain, but it's quite a good cane."I won't speak of it, after all it's more expensive than Kagari."Shoot twice then fall back even if you miss and switch with Liza. Pochi and Tama will cover Liza.""Kay~.""I understand, master."Pochi's and Tama's answers are a bit late."Is it okay not to throw the stones?"Oh yeah, I forgot about the throwing stones. Since I want to confirm the stun magic type for now, let's keep them as reserves."This time it's fine not to throw the stones. I want you to concentrate on the an
The flying ants formed groups of 8 ants and then started to head toward this wagon.I pass 4 crossbows to everyone except Lulu who is handling the wagon, and give them a simple lecture on its operation.Use the lever to pull the bowstring, then put the bolt on the rail and pull the trigger. If you don't think the hitting the target part, it is actually quite simple."Take a stance... shoot!"Matching my signal, the bolts fly. The target is the approaching swarm.Three ants were shot down. After setting the next bolts, we shoot once again. This time we hit two.We won't make it for the next volley, but Kagari unleashes Shock Wave as we've arranged before, and shoots down the remaining three.Because the next group is getting closer than the one before, after shooting one volley of bolts, we decrease their number with Shock Wave, and then, the remaining two ants fall prey to Liza's spear and my zero-distance bolt shot."Master, do you have any MP recovery medicine?"I gave three of them
"Have you come to?"I asked gently while feeling relieved. However, the girl takes a leap to distance herself from me. No, she tried to but because of her anemia, she got her feet tangled and tumbled over."...Where is Mize?"I don't know that name, but I could only think one person."Is that the red helmet from the rat-man cavalries?""Yes."Although she's right to be on guard, she sure is a taciturn girl."After entrusting you to us, he went to bravely fight the monsters... and died.""It can't be..."I hesitated for a bit about whether to tell a lie to prevent her from getting shocked, but I decided to tell her the truth.Her face went pale, she must have been shocked."I am Rin. A traveling merchant. May I ask your name?"I can see it with AR, but it's proper to introduce yourself to start a conversation."...Mia."A short answer came out after a beat of silence.Hu~m, it's difficult in quite a different way than Lulu."Princess-sama, have awaken~""Ah, her name is Mia it seems."
Now then, shall I pay a visit to our magician comes midnight?I'd hate to get attacked by the army of ants when the morning dawns...ants are not nocturnal right?I go inside the wagon alone and begin to change my clothes. Since Kagari is peeking, I roll up my smelly sweaty shirt into a ball and throw it on her face. Suffer well in that stink.I'm still wearing a mantle on the outside, but I change into thick trousers and a shirt inside, and also knee-high leather boots. Since I will be trekking the mountain, it'd be inconvenient to wear a robe."Sniff, sniff, snifff.""Kagari, stop it, that's vulgar."This is the first time I saw Lulu scolding Kagari. Still, what the heck is this girl doing? No, I understand when I see it, but I refuse to acknowledge it... Aren't you too much of a pervert to sniff on a smelly shirt?I take the shirt away from Kagari and give it to Lulu."I'm sorry, but please wash this when you're doing laundry.""Yes, master.""Before that, let me enjoy the teens' sc
Just before Liza and Kagari's night watch duty is over, I see enemies on the map.There are three monsters called Shadow Stalkers. Since I've never heard of it, I check their details. Level 12, it has [Physical Damage Halved], and [Stamina Drain] as race-specific skills, if I don't have any means to counter it they might become formidable enemies. It doesn't like they're undead. Their speeds aren't that fast, but they would probably get here in 1 hour. The enemies probably have run out of flying-type monsters.I'm arranging various things related to the battle to be displayed on the menu.And then I turn my view to my chest. I had thought that something had been pressuring my chest for a while but as it turned out, it was Pochi and Tama who climbed on my chest and stomach while letting out , "Gude~", sounds, sleeping there lying on their bellies.I place them on the sheet while being careful not to wake them, and get up."Ara? Master, are you doing?""Are you having trouble sleeping?
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
