I Reincarnated But Will Try To Live Without Using My Cheat Ability

In the middle of the night, as I gently nudged Mil who was sleeping happily beside me, I wondered if the enemy would really make a move on me.

I said so, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

I don’t think that my thoughts are always right.

I need to rethink my thinking.

Are they waiting for us to starve?

The cat people must know that we’re preparing for a festival or something.

We don’t have enough food to do that.

In other words, they must be guessing that we have some kind of food source.

So what are they going to do when that happens?

Will they provoke a riot of migrants and attack simultaneously?

Not likely.

The migrants have no reason to move aggressively now.

""

In the first place, there is no effective means of communication.

Then, will they launch a surprise attack?

The surprise attack itself would be difficult and unprofitable.

Moreover, the damage from the previous defeat is too great.

If they fail here, the other tribes will probably turn in the cat people to save their own asses.

Then they can sneak in and assassinate me.

This was also a little too far away and difficult.

In such a situation, what is the pattern of making the scouts visible?

They are deliberately trying to draw our attention.

We don’t know when the cat people are going to attack.

There is almost no option not to be attacked.

There’s only one possibility left.

They must be confident that they can draw us into the cat people’s territory and destroy or defeat us ……

There may be a strong trap on the terrain.

That is why they are deliberately trying to show up and draw us in.

So is it right to be defensive and not take it lightly?

The more I thought about it, the more I lost consciousness.

◆◇◆◇◆

With only two days left until the wedding and the festival, a ship came into port.

It seems that the unpopular woman Silvana ran into the port.

Maybe it was the family of Silvana’s master.

Mil had come to the same conclusion.

“Vana ran into the harbor, but I wonder if it was her master.”

“Probably so.”

After a while, something seemed to have caught Mil’s attention.

“Al. Vana’s here.”

I nodded silently.

The mansion’s sensing is now at a professional level.

If there was anything that the plants could detect, Mil would know about it.

Then, with the sound of hurried footsteps, the unpopular woman Silvana came running in.

“Al! The master and the others are here!”

“Where are they now?”

The unpopular woman Silvana can use the mansion quite freely.

She’s the guild’s contact and my friend.

She’s become quite flexible.

Compared to the time when she was adventuring, she is treated incomparably better.

""

She seems to be comfortable.

Except for the lack of entertainment and alcohol.

“The usual reception room.”

“Shall I go meet them then?”

“I’m going with you today, Brother.”

I decided to take Kiara and Elite Guard Ale Ahokainen to meet with the master.

◆◇◆◇◆

The person waiting for me in the room looked like a seasoned adventurer.

He was a rugged middle-aged man with red hair and red eyes.

The one next to him is probably his wife.

A human woman of around 30, with black hair and eyes.

She looks strong-willed, but has a shady look on her face.

In between the couple is a child.

There was a human girl around five years old with red hair, black mesh and dark eyes.

“Welcome to Ravenna. I am Alfred Della Scala, the feudal lord of the town.”

The unpopular woman Silvana opens her mouth.

“Oh, let me introduce you.”

A middle-aged man stopped her with his hand.

“No …… Silvana, I can at least say hello myself. I’m Gerald Rosa.”

The woman continued, bowing.

“I’m Despina Rosa.”

The girl hides behind her mother.

The mother looked at the child and gave a small smile.

“This child is Arsinoe Rosa.”

I urged for the three of them to be seated.

We sat down and waited for tea and sweets to be served.

Arsinoe’s eyes were glued to the sweets.

“Please don’t hesitate. That’s why we brought them out.”

At my words, Arsinoe began to chew on the sweets.

So let’s get down to business.

“You are Ms. Silvana’s master and his family, right?”

Gerald straightened his back.

“Yes. As an adventurer, I can’t work on the front lines anymore, but ……. Even so, she said that I could be of help in some way, so we’re here to thank you for having us. “

“I want you to make use of the know-how you have accumulated as an adventurer. My immediate request is to train the citizens to make it that they can protect themselves.”

Gerald replied, a little nervously.

“Of course. I’d be happy to work with you.”

“I’ll introduce you with Ms. Silvana …… we’ll do it later, but I was hoping you could talk to the chief military officer about that.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Are you sure you only want Mr. Gerald to work here?”

Gerald and Despina looked at each other and nodded.

“If it’s possible, could you give Despina a job as well?”

“Is that fine with you, Ma’am?”

Arsinoe stopped chewing on her candy and grasped Despina’s hand tightly.

Despina looked at Arsinoe and smiled reassuringly.

Arsinoe started to chew on the candy again.

That’s really sweet.

I don’t have a taste for little girls, you know.

It’s just purely sweet.

“Silvana told me …… that this place is safe for children, So it’s fine.”

But it’s not like you can come here all of a sudden and leave the child alone.

I’m sure you’ll feel uneasy.

I’ll have to talk to her first.

“By the way …… what can you do, Ms. Despina?”

Despina seemed to be nervous as well.

“I can heal and read and write.”

My brow naturally creases.

What’s a good person like you doing in retirement?

“I’m sorry …… I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a few questions.”

Despina stiffened even more.

“Yes, please.”

“If you’re so good, Ms. Despina, you must be in great demand, aren’t you? I don’t think you need to come all the way to this remote place.”

The unpopular woman Silvana who had been silent until now, leaned forward.

“Sister Pina, this is a place where race has nothing to do with anything. You can just throw away your common sense from that side.”

Race? I thought you were human.

To be honest …… it’s not really important.

Despina looked at the unpopular woman Silvana and gave a small nod.

And then she nodded to Gerald as well.

Despina has a determined look on her face.

“I’m a quarter of a demon. It’s hard to tell them apart from the rest of us, but they’re still …… there.”

She brushed up her hair.

I can see a few horn marks on it.

Did she cut it off?

However …… I thought demons were in the apostles’ harem. 

It’s supposed to be a recognized species. 

When she saw me thinking, the unpopular woman Silvana cleared her throat.

“Al. You’re a nobleman, so you probably don’t know this. But, the demon tribe is recognized as a race, but it’s avoided by ordinary people.”

I see.

So there are a lot of things going on.

Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with world affairs.

After all, I’m just the son of a great aristocrat.

“That’s about it? Is there anything else?”

I said it so lightly that Despina froze in surprise. 

Gerald also froze.

The unpopular woman Silvana starts laughing.

“Master, common sense of the outside world doesn’t work on Al, you know.”

You make it sound as if I lack common sense.

I didn’t want to be told that by the unpopular woman Silvana at least.
