I knew that the baron's castle was wide from the map, but after I actually went inside it, it was more vast than I'd imagined. There is a forest and a big pond that occupy about three times more area than the castle.People only occupy a few percent of the whole area, won't the maintenance be hard I wonder?Hayuna-san and co. had been separated from us since they didn't get involved in the trouble.We're heading toward a four-story big mansion on the hill in the same area, not the castle. There's no problem since Baron, Hayuna-san and the others are there.Of course, the fake hero is also near the baron.The split body of the demon is also there, but it doesn't get close to the baron. The real body is inside the forest as usual. Seems that it doesn't participate in the battle and only lets the goblin soldiers do it. I wonder if it's enjoying them killing each other?The carriage enters the rotary in front of the mansion while I'm thinking so.Although there is no red carpet spread, ar
Thanks to Pochi, we've become closer to the baron family, and with Ossan's help, I'm checking various things with the baron, but..."Then, you didn't issue an order to collect congratulatory gifts from the people?""Of course. I've heard from the consul that this year we have a bad harvest. If we do such things, the people would starve."In fact, the people are abandoning the children and the elderly."Do you know that every village is selling their people to the extent that merchants even avoid them?""Fumu, I can't say that every village is prosperous, but we aren't collecting tax to the point that they would starve. And this year, in accordance with the consul's suggestion, we should have shared food to them though?"The villagers that I've met are all thin, from the serf to the village head. I don't think that the village head is embezzling food."There was a girl who jumped out in front of our carriage today. The coachman said that carriages were not to be stopped even if it woul
I hear Pochi saying, "Bones are chasing after people.", while she's still hugged by the daughter."Bones? Are there skeletons inside the city?""Yeah, it seems there are some people who could use ghost magic. The elderly are probably scared of undead because of their experiences with the No Life King's army encirclement during the time of Marquis Muno.""It can't be helped then. It's not like we can help them from here.""Since there are only 20 skeletons inside the city, I'll do something about them with Remote Arrow, though it might be futile. I won't aim at the ghost magic users since they would likely die if hit."I come out to the balcony using a different door than the baron and the others have used.The magic, Magic Arrow which Remote Arrow is derived from is written in the beginner magic book that I've bought.It is said that [『Magic Arrow』 is the basic and ultimate of magic. The more you master it, the further away it could travel, and the more you could release. If you maste
"Gjallarhorn he said? Don't tell me, it's the real thing?"Kagari is astonished.Is that twisting holy sword famous? I'll ask what kind of anecdote it has next time.The fake hero's sword is also named Gjallarhorn when I see it with AR, however the type is not of holy sword, but a magic sword. The explanation is the same as the one I have even though it's just a magic tool. Needless to say, it's a counterfeit. It's only as strong as a normal iron sword, and its appearance is also just a normal straight sword."Hero, you dare to strike me with the fake sword I've given to you! Foolish.""Shut up, demon! Where did you put the real consul!"I see, so they interpret it like that.I'd like to stop doing this farce and deal with it as soon as possible since there's a high possibility that the split body (splitter) is connected with the real body. If I eliminate it with overwhelming force, the real body could be cautious and conceal itself somewhere. It'd be annoying if that happens.Looks l
(Lulu Perspective)Hello, Lulu here.What should I do? Liza-san has been acting strange since a while ago."Call the village chief!""Who are you? I ain't getting ordered by a beast."Liza-san strikes the ground with her spear wrapped in cloth.Even her wagon driving to this village was rough. I think she really wanted to go together with a master like Kagari after all.The villager-san with a big body is trying his best to oppose Liza-san, but it seems that only his word is big without courage. His feet and voice are shaking.Thankfully, a boy is leading a gentle-looking man here while running. That kid was the kid who ran toward the village earlier. It looks like he's called the village chief."Well then, what exactly is your demand? As you can see, our is a poor village, we're short in food let alone treasures."Exactly like Chief-san has said, the children and the man earlier look famished."We don't need treasures or food. My great lord desires stones that look like this. Prepare
(Tama Perspective)Meal~?Risotto is tasty, but I think the meat that master grills is the best.Always tasty steak of wolf meat~Stir-fried vegetables with chicken meat, more meat~I want to eat grilled frogs again♪What's today's meal I won~ der~♪...Nyu? Today's meal?Nyu, nyunyu?Ah!I understand Liza's worry maybe.As it is now, noon will pass, while master is still away~?Unyu~At that time, if I hadn't used scissors for janken, I could have gone together...Aah, today's lunch is.The meat that master makes~~~!!(Nana Perspective)The reasoning circuit reports that the probability of completing the mission has broken through 100%.On the command queue, there is no next directive given by the master.Let's go back to the normal routine.Self-diagnostic... No problem. There is no need for an MP supplement--there should be no need to, but master's face floats in my mind. I wonder what is this loop in my logic circuit.It's alright. I've learned that if I look at Pochi or Tama when
(Knight Perspective)"Oy oy, dividing the forest like that, what the heck are they.""Captain.""I know. Oy, you guys, follow the ladies before the forest closes."""" Understood."""My subordinates answer with good spirit to my words.I've heard a rumor before that says elves are able to freely make paths on forests. I thought that it was just some stupid drunken talks, but looked like it was true. This is just right, I'll make use of it to slip through that crowd.Still, what's happening to Baron Muno's territory? Looking at the appearance of those crowds, there's no mistake that they're people from Muno City.Do hordes of monsters attack from the forest?If it's that then they should have barricaded themselves inside the city, what actually happen anyway.By the order of the duke, I've thought that this would be an easy job of just meeting his nephew couple, but feels like this has become an unthinkable military outing.(Tama Perspective)Path springs out of the forest~?It looks l
(Liza Perspective)There's no end to this.I probably have defeated dozens of zombies already. Even though I could defeat many with just a swing of my spear, their number is beyond expectation.We've reached the place where I can see the city's gate after some struggle, but there are still more than 100 zombies infesting the area until the gate. It's easy to deal with goblins or thieves zombies, but it's a hard fight against bears or other monster zombies that sometimes get mixed in.On top of that, there's even such a thing!The multi-headed snakes that appear from behind the zombies, it's most likely not just big. It spits out fireball as if a dragon.Thanks to Mia's magic, we're narrowly saved, but it's probably not something that could be defended many times. I have no choice but to make the first move and take care of it quickly. For that to happen, I have to cut the distance to the multi-headed snake."Mia, the road!"Mia should understand that. Mia uses the magic that she has u
