"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
"Gramps, we got some food.""It's not weeds today~."The children whom we meet in the afternoon come storming in when we're eating cereals, vegetables, and wolf meat together with the old people. I've heard about these children from the old people, but since they don't know when they'll come back, we've started our meal ahead of them."Ah, it's the people from earlier.""Did they come to get the food back?""They're waiting for us."The children hide anxiously behind the leader's back.Do these children not see the peaceful atmosphere of this meal?"We have lots of porridge, why don't you eat with us?""That's right, you children eat too.""Hey now, quickly sit down kids."The children are cautious with my invitation, but since the gramps are also calling them, and above all, they're captivated with the presented porridge, before long they've joined the meal with us."T, tasty.""It's not weeds?""Uwah, something is smelling nice.""There are boiled meat here.""You're lying?""It's t
"U, umm, thank you for the delicious meal.""You don't have to mind it, everyone has thanked me earlier too.""Also umm, I'm sorry for the afternoon."It's the red-haired girl from the afternoon. She's called Totono if I'm not mistaken. She's personally coming to our camping ground to meet me, does she have some business?The girl is looking downcast, but after she glances a bit at Lulu, her face becomes determined.She grasps her skirt with trembling hands and seemingly decides something.It can't be another, "Please buy me.", the situation right?To be frank, I'm fed up with that.However, the girl's action is a bit different.She takes her skirt off. I've said skirt, but her clothes a one piece, so I could see her ribs----or I should be, but Lulu covers her with an apron in a hurry from behind, so I couldn't see it. Let's leave this as it is.It doesn't seem like she'd wear her clothes back, but she also doesn't brush off the apron."T, this is an apology and thanks. We can't do a
"Liza, I'm counting on you for the recovery of the magic core. You can leave everything beside the magic core as it is.""Yes, master."First thing first, I hand a dagger to Liza who holds nothing but her spear, and asks for the recovery."Wait a minute, you went alone to do some dangerous things weren't you.""Since I wasn't able to sleep, I went to gather some herbs and got attacked.""Didn't I tell you not to go alone? Even though you've got shield skill, you could still easily die if you're careless!"After apologizing to Kagari who has teary eyes, I face toward the old people who are looking at us from afar."I'm sorry for the disturbance in the middle of the night.""We don't mind it, but is that monster a spider bear?""Yes, it's a spider bear you mentioned in the afternoon, it might be a stray who's lost its way.""Your luck was bad, it usually only gets to human habitation once in every few decades. This is the first time, I've seen one in my life.""Is that how it is, it cou
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
The inside of the wagon which usually has a lot of space is now full of luggage.I make this camouflage in order to prevent Hayuna and the man from becoming suspicious. I lay around cookware, boxes, and barrels containing two days worth of food inside the wagon. Keeping them from collapsing was hard.During this time, I feel thankful for having Item Box.Of course, I've made sure to leave space just enough for people. Mia complains, "Cramped.", but this is probably still pretty spacious compared to a normal carriage.As expected, even the indifferent Mia asked, "Where did you take those from?", after this, I showed her the magic bag >.Putting aside Mia who will part way with us in the Bornean forest, I don't mind telling other members about Item Box, but I want to avoid a situation where our girls get kidnapped because the rumor floats around, I'd rather the harm comes my way. Of course, I don't think that these girls would spread the rumor, but there's no denying the p
"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
When Nana takes off her hood, her blond hair unfolds. Toruma-shi is dazzled by her, and Hayuna elbows him. So he's really being kept on a short leash by Hayuna-san.Nana is holding the baby in her arms after receiving permission from Hayuna-san. She looks completely content. She looks as if she's a holy mother--if she doesn't talk."She's so fluffy, and soft nano desu. Master, I want to have a young organism too.""Let's talk about that after this journey is over.""Masuta?""It's my nickname."Afterwards, the Toruma couple were interested in Nana's eccentric way of speaking, but when I told them that she lived a sheltered life in a distant land which made her poor in the Shiga language, they assented. I told them that her meal was only water because her body was weak. Toruma couple seem to be thinking that Nana and I are a married couple. I leave that misunderstanding alone since there's no particular harm anyway."This is delicious. It's full of rural taste, but the abundant meat is
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
