""Good morning, master."""Good morning."Lulu and Liza who have immediately woken up with the first sign of morning sun give me morning greetings.I let Tama down from my lap, and take Liza to the spear to apologize to her."T, this is."Even Liza is speechless.Since externally, her important spear looks like it has been scribbled. Let's apologize first before I say, "The performance has been improved.".After I make up my mind, I step forward toward Liza-- but, she's not looking at me.Seemingly to check on the spear's condition, she tries stabbing it many times. The red light that appears when she does a heavy blow is stronger than before."Master!"After she finishes swinging the spear, she comes closer to me. I decide to listen to her complaints before I make an excuse. Her voice's tone is a bit high, would be good if she's not angry."This is, it must be a reward right!"Since I don't understand the flow of the conversation, I ask her."Kagari was saying to Lulu, 'If you prope
It was already late in the afternoon when we arrived on the street of Nouki town. The disposal of the thieves took more time than I had thought.This town is the second biggest town within Earl Kuhanou's territory, it's situated in the typical fashion of a trading town. Nevertheless, the population is not more than 20000. The land size is also only about a fourth of Seryuu city. 30% of the population are slaves, but most are general or lower slaves, while criminal slaves are quite a few.The thieves--they were confirmed as thieves with the usual Yamato stone--were sold to slave traders that the gatekeeper had called. The men were worth 2 silver coins a person. The ones with bow or weapon skills and higher-leveled were even more expensive, but the women were cheaper. A middle-aged woman was worth only 1 silver coin.As a reward for suppressing the thieves, I was given 10 copper coins per head. Was the price right?The total amount to 48 silver coins and 140 copper coins. With this much
"Thanks for waiting, Nana.""Yes, master."Uh, did I make her wait too long?Maybe thanks to the hood she's wearing, there is no weird guy trying to pick her up, but she looks quite bored. Nana picks up my arm and begins to walk."Let's go, master."We're walking while linking arms. Umm, Nana-san? My arm is in heaven.Since the long cane I bought for Mia at the beginning is being a hindrance, I switch it to my other hand."What's wrong?""I learned it when Master was in the shop."What's this, I feel a bad premonition."When man and woman walk together, they unite their arms."She's saying so while having, "How's that" face, I can even hear the sound effect.I understand what she has learned, but there's no particular reason to part our arms, so let's go shopping while being like this.Since Nana looked like she really wanted to get praised, I read the mood and praised her. It's subtle, but She looks satisfied. And I'm also satisfied with the amazing feeling.First, let's buy clothes
"Shield"A transparent shape that looks like a Shield appears in front of me who's holding a short cane. The size is large enough to cover my whole body."Here I go~ Psycho Ball."The invisible magic ball fired by Kagari got repelled by the Shield and disappeared.Oh, a new indicator has appeared below my HP bar, [Shield HP], it says. The HP is 100, and it has decreased by one from Kagari's attack earlier. I wait for a while, but it's not restoring back."Is it alright for the next one?""Come at me.""Here I go Tsubaki-kun! This is, my Overdrive shoot!"Kagari fires Shock Wave while parodying something. The Shield shooks from that attack, but it's repelled just like with the psycho ball earlier.This time the Shield's HP decreases by 3 points. So it doesn't decrease by a fixed value, but depends on the spell huh?"Then, next, please use Magic Arrow, Nana.""Yes, master."A magic circle appears before Nana's forehead and the magic arrow is shot from there.The magic arrow disappears a
After we left the town, it was peaceful for three days, but for two days after that, we were attacked by thieves three times.Since they were just small-scale thieves with 7-8 people, we had Kagari do a preemptive attack with Shock Wave, and the beast girls to defeat the thieves.At the first battle, Mia attacked with Acid Mist, but it was too gruesome so I made her use Blind Mist and Mustard Mist the next time instead.If I fought right away, I could make short work of them, but since it looked sufficient with just the beast girls fighting, I was just standing by while watching them and being ready to cover them anytime if needed. And since the beast girls had the advantage of level and fighting experience compared to the thieves, my turn never came up.We didn't bring the thieves to where people live after we learned the lesson from the last time. We made them sleep with Kagari's magic, stripped them of all their equipment besides their clothes, and left them tied with ivy rope. If
We've just entered the territory of Baron Muno, so I perform [All Map Exploration] like usual.It seems that there's a soldier garrison on the pass slightly ahead. There are 20 soldiers around with levels ranging from 3 to 7. Coming out of that place is a flat terrain with sporadically situated small mountains and forests. The area is wider than Kuhanou's earldom. However, the whole population is only around 40000, about 1/3th of Seryuu city.There is only one big city in the baron's territory, while the rest are just small villages with less than 1,000 people each. The town where the baron lives is populated with 20,000 people and seems to be called Muno City.In that Muno city, there's a demon. Level 30. Hiding in the city means it's probably doing something fishy. Since it looks troublesome, I would stay as far away as possible from it.But, didn't Kagari say that demons that had crossed worlds are executive class? I don't think that it's an executive with this level. I wonder if d
I don't know if the fake hero really exists, but when I regularly check the baron castle's map, I've narrowed down the most suspicious candidate.The fake hero's name is Hauto--one character difference with the hero, Hayato Masaki--he's a level 7 young man with one-handed sword and shield skills.There are also other people who seem to be his companions which are a level 10 swordsman, a level 8 magician, and a level 9 priest. It's a party with good balance, they would've been successful if they earned their shares from labyrinths.The demon is most likely involved. It's often near the fake hero, Hauto.However, this demon slips out of the castle at night and goes to the neighboring forest where the thieves are."Master, the replenishment is complete."Damn, I've wasted this blissful morning time thinking unnecessary things.Nana who has refilled her magic fixed her clothes.Rin, you'll get another chance on the next break....I convinced myself so.Today I'm making wooden swords on th
"Master, there's someone ahead.""There~."Pochi who's occupying my lap finds traces of someone ahead. I've confirmed it on the map, but I can't see it yet."Ah, it went inside the forest."It seems Scout-kun had gone to call its friends.They're thieves, but this time it's a bit different. They're children ranging from 9 to 14 years old. There are three boys and six girls. Their Reward and Punishments are just [Contract Breach]. Since their titles are [Runaway Slave], they're probably children who have run away from villages. Their stamina is all less than half.Indeed, it'd be pitiful to beat them up right?"What's on there?""Group of boys thieves.""What's that, I'm burning up!"I consulted with Kagari and Liza about their reward and punishment."Runaway slaves is it? Then, our reward and punishment won't change even if we kill them, so I think there's no need to worry."No, Liza-san, I don't have such worry."How about ignoring and going through them? Or do you want to get more l
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
