Monster no Goshujin-sama

29 - Yona Iino Perspective

I broke up with everyone on the expedition to ascertain on the ground the story of the transferee being faked, and when I left Serratta in Count Lawrence's territory, I headed east first.

From Count Lawrence's territory, enter neighbouring Viscum.

Viscum, counted among the three eastern regions, is located north of Fort Ebenus.

When the expedition was still at Fort Ebenus, the members who had left it would have been the first to step on the land of Viscum.

It means there could be their fakes in this country too.

I crossed Viscum as I walked from town to town to ask about the false brave.

A normal human foot, even if it was a journey that took a week to traverse, even if it was devoted to travel without eating the road grass, but with a foot even called 'Wewaten', I was able to hear in the same number of days.

At dawn, we leave town, and normally we run about an hour through the distance that takes a day, gathering information around while there is day.

It was a very tight schedule, but there was nothing I couldn't do.

However, not much useful information was available in Viscum regarding the pseudo-brave.

I have heard stories of several brave men staying in the royal family, but I have heard that the royal family of Viscum is face-to-face with members of the expedition directly at Fort Ebenus.

Hard to imagine being fooled by a phony.

Pseudo-brave men should be considered not to be out in this country.

The listening ended up in jail, but if there was no deceitful person, that was something to rejoice about.

I went into the Count of Cappard's realm of the Empire, next to Viscum.

Again, I couldn't find a fake brave man here.

But I could hear the rumors.

"Viscount of Pan and Viscount Dixon"

I snapped small.

"Small aristocratic territory north of Count Cappard territory…?"

The place is Inn of the Day.

With my thoughts in my mouth, I unbutton my uniform jacket.

"It's a harvest to hear about a false brave man being witnessed... but the problem is that there has to be one spot where he was witnessed"

I took off my uniform jacket and put it on the bed.

In the meantime, skirts and shirts are also layered.

"It's hard to think of a fake brave man as the only one, given that he didn't even have time for that. Is it a simultaneous and multiple crime...... no. Should we rather assume that there is such a group of criminals?

naked I took an affordable size cloth in my hand.

Turn the bucket prepared by the inn into hot water with the demonic stone in your hand.

When I wet the cloth with hot water, I rubbed my skin dull.

The heat of hot water is transferred to the skin.

but it was soon cooled down by the air, leaving a rather limp sensation.

I thought I wanted to take a bath.

Before I realized it, I sighed and frowned at its weight.

……

Break up with everyone on the expedition, about two weeks.

No. Even before that, long after I came to this world.

I was getting a little tired of my body continuing to run.

Though you've had an unusually sturdy body, it doesn't mean you won't be tired.

The same goes for the body, but some things are spiritual.

I'm used to traveling alone, but working alone in a land I don't know is still tiring.

I wondered when was the last time I slowed down, and one boy appeared in my brain.

Oh, yeah.

The few days I spent with them were the first and last rest to come to this world.

Though maybe that should be called therapy rather than rest......

How is he doing?

He said he was going to fix a broken car first, so maybe it's time to get to the town of Akel and get the demon stone.

……

Next to the boy I had in mind, a girl with flax hair appeared.

Two suits.

Around it, many more people gather together.

I'm sure he's continuing his journey with his family.

Translated, I...

"Mmm."

And my body trembled, and I returned unto me.

Apparently, he let his body cool off because of his blubbering.

And I waved, and threw into the bucket the cloth that was in my hand.

Sleeve through loose clothes, dressed in bedtime.

I crossed the room and opened the window.

I put a cheek wand on the window frame and looked up at the sky from the upstairs room.

There was a beautiful starry sky.

……

He said no one could catch up to me.

That's probably the truth on one side.

But that's fine.

And if I can thwart evil with it, I will not mind with it.

- Hey. Yu, why can't you forgive the bad guys?

Is it because I am tired?

It's called that guy, thanks for tonight. I remember a long time ago.

That was another beautiful night with the stars.

Sure, it would have been around the time I enrolled in high school and not long ago.

My friend Boom Miya from middle school - Todo came to see me over the night.

Souvenirs are dough.

And when she took me out to the veranda, she said with a smile.

- All right. Yu. Let's have a moon sight tonight!

-... what, all of a sudden? It's not the time to look at the moon. It's not May yet.

- Uh. Let's do it. Because of this, I prepared the dough.

Unlike me, Todo is a fluffy and cute girl.

Sometimes there was something a bit natural in it, or deviant, and I acted without a thump.

Even then, it was.

As a sign of her unplanned, the moon is half-sized from half a month to a little fat.

It was just a beautiful night for the stars.

- I mean, if you're going to see the moon, Todo's house would have been better, not the narrow veranda of an apartment like ours. The garden is huge.... and there are wackos.

Todo's house was huge and he had a lot of dogs.

That's why Todo says he grew up with dogs since he was a kid.

He said it was his family.

Perhaps that was why she became known as Boomy the Dark Beast after she came to this other world.

- So, we'll do it now? Mal and Nor, they're so big. Yu, you haven't seen him in a while, have you? You might be surprised to see it.

What a story, Todo was peeking into a handmade telescope.

Ask him, he made it for every event he attended a while ago.

She bought magnifying glasses in advance at the 100-yen shop and told me that she enjoyed breaking them down and making them.

I was also invited to the event, but I did not attend.

The Kendo classes and dates I've been attending for a long time, so I turned them down.

So the time of the moon sight was also a filling of that.

Most importantly, I would have gone out with her, even if I had no reason to.

To be honest, the name was moonlight, study group, pajama party, whatever.

Clean and clean the garden chairs lined up on a narrow veranda for a bit, then sit down, hold your voice, and chat with this whether you're two.

The content of the conversation was without any other love, but it was still fun.

- Oh, so. Besides your observation of the stars, I studied the lenses a little bit. Refraction or something like that. Looks like we're gonna do it in physics next year.

- Hmm. But I am a literary aspiration. I'm going to law school.

- Is that it? I knew about literature, but I'm even deciding to go undergraduate?

- Didn't I tell you?

- All right. Oh, you've already made up your mind. That kind of thing, Yu-chan, it's neat, isn't it?

- No. In the fall, it's a literary choice, isn't it? I need to think about it.

- Uh, right. Hmm, law school. I guess I'll do the same.

- Make your own decisions about your path.

- That's right.

Somewhere off Todo was so blind to me.

Todo is better...... how did it go?

Maybe she had a reason to be her too. Maybe it didn't.

Anyway, she was an important friend to me.

- Hey. Yu, why can't you forgive the bad guys?

It was such an act of conversation without other love.

Todo said this.

- Yu-chan will be a police officer in the future, right? He said he couldn't forgive anyone for doing anything wrong. How could you?

Pull in your usual fluffy grin and ask.

In doing so, her atmosphere, with her long, sliced eyes, changed with reluctance.

Occasionally I was made to look like this.

- What's that? You can't forgive bad people, naturally.

- Naturally. I mean, no reason?

I snort.

Then, to Todo, his usual smile returned.

- Oh. That sounds like a Yu-chan answer, though.

- What do you mean?

Asked frowning in surprise, Todo returned it in a fluffy atmosphere.

- That's what Yu-chan said, I really like it.

- What are you talking about?

A dear caged smile was pointed at me blushing in favor from the front.

- For example, if I do anything wrong, Yu-chan will stop, right?

-... Todo?

- But I'm just a little nervous. Whether Yu can stay that way from now on.

What did that mean?

- You'll always be my favorite yucchan.

What did that naturally pleasant, but occasionally very sharp, friend of mine look at?

Now I'm a little curious as to why.

When we get to see each other again, let's ask.

There's so much I want to talk about...

While I thought it was hard, I was falling asleep.

"This is..."

It's changed since I hit it last night, cloudy noon.

It was raining softly.

I was visiting the area east of the Viscount of Bread, the land where rumours of false brave men were heard.

The first village I set foot in was here.

Should I say it was a village?

There, it was a ruin.

The wreckage of the ravaged house was dirty in the mud.

The fields are devoured, and the roads are dug back.

The walls protecting the village had also been completely destroyed.

"Monsters, huh?

Among the wounds on the fallen walls was what seemed to have been determined by the beast's claws.

Outside the wall, there was something that seemed like a trail of monster carcasses being devoured, perhaps for sure.

And I walked in the village, shaking the rain with my coat.

The village was secluded and quiet.

It was rather this tranquility that might have been deserving of the sight of the abandoned village.

"... no body, though"

The reason was, as I walked, I found out.

"Tomb"

Even though the village building was almost destroyed, only its graveyard was safe.

Perhaps it was made after what happened.

The tomb marker was as simple as putting up a thick tree.

Though it was a rushed tomb to see, I guess that was something I had no choice about either.

Because there were so many grave markers lined up.

Maybe it's close to a hundred.

Even given the size of the village, almost all of the inhabitants have probably died.

That also means, inevitably, that there are outsiders who have made this many graves......

"Did you make this tomb?

A man dressed in a heavy knight's outfit, standing in front of the grave, turned this way.

She had moist dark hair, she was a flattering young woman.

Maybe around twenty when I was old.

For a moment, I thought he was the same metastasizer as me, but his face belonged to man in this world.

Rather than looking serious, the atmosphere seems to be strong.

Somewhere, he resembles Kuriyama, who is an assistant leader in the expedition.

The design of the armor I was wearing looked familiar.

"The Cathedral Knight, right?

"Yes, but what about you?

To a woman who looked surprised, I named her.

"I'm Yuna Iino. He's one of the transferees of the expedition."

"... a metastasizer?

The woman's expression hardened.

I'm on guard. The reason for this was that I could immediately guess.

"Wait. I am not a phony."

He named himself a transferee in a land of rumours of false bravery.

If this woman knew about the fake brave, there was no point in being thought to be deceiving the real brave.

"Not a phony?

Hearing the words of my clarification, the woman wrinkled between her brows.

"Can I give you proof of that?

"Ah, proof...? Are you saying you can give evidence?

The woman snorted and reached for the sword pattern.

Tingling air strains.

The power gained as a metastasizer made me feel threatened by the woman in front of me.

Quite hands-on as a knight.

In human terms in this world, it's close to what I felt when I met Mr. Silan face-to-face.

Regardless, Mr. Silan had a boost by the Covenant Spirit, but even without it, she boasted of top-notch strength among the Allied Knights.

The ability to fight close to her is not a half-breed thing.

Cathedral Knights.

There seemed to be no falsehood in his reputation as an elite driver on the battlefield with the brave.

... It's been a hassle.

Normal Warrior would be able to meet even this woman for a few matches, but I still have two names.

It also specializes in one-on-one white soldier warfare.

If it were a battle, it would be a battle in an instant.

But I didn't want to make things rough if I could.

How I saw my troubled face with my eyebrows lowered, I'm sure I hung my eyebrows, and the woman gripped the pattern of the sword.

"If you can't prove it..."

If it stayed this way, the woman would have cut it off.

It didn't happen because a voice raised to stop her.

"Wait, Eliner."

Where the woman narrowed her eyes intimidatingly, a voice was heard from the side.

"He's a true brave man."

It was a bald-headed man with a disappointing physique who held the woman together.

Under the armor of the same cathedral knight as the woman, the colour of her skin caught my eye.

The man had black skin that he had never seen before in this world.

I was also impressed because I was such a distinctive man.

I whisper my eyebrows for a moment, then the next thing I know, I say "Ah".

"Sure, you are at Fort Ebenus..."

"Were you remembering? Long time no see."

Previously, a man of the Cathedral Knight, face-to-face in front of the Leader's room, just lowered his head deeply, without tickling or moving his face like that one.

The man named himself Gordon-Caville.

Mr. Gordon said he was vice-president of the Cathedral Knights and captain of the second unit.

"So, Mr. Gordon is in the area to deal with the phony braves?

Mr. Gordon, who was with the head of the Diocese Knights when we met at Fort Ebenus, was now talking about being sent to the area as captain of the Second Unit of the Diocese Knights.

"So you think this was caused by that fake brave man?

"Yes, as a result of our interviews, it will be"

As with my view, the Cathedral Knights also thought that the village had been attacked by monsters.

It was two days ago that the inhabitants of the neighbouring village found the abandoned village.

Mr. Gordon's research showed that three more days before that, a man named Brave visited the village next door and received a welcome.

He wore a unique garment like the one we were wearing - a uniform thing - and, at least, he stood on his arm to the point where he could defeat the monster.

Well, otherwise, you can't fool a brave man.

The problem was that he apparently visited this village next.

"Timely, I don't think it's irrelevant."

"We think so, too."

"But... then, I have my doubts. Is that person who visited the neighboring village really just a phony?

I came to the ground to ascertain the reality of it, when I heard that a phony of us transferees had appeared in the area.

But when I hear what I know now, I rather see another possibility.

"It's hooked that the monster actually attacked this village"

I have heard similar stories.

"Does Mr. Gordon know a man named Kudo Lu?

"... Did you also know that Mr. Iino"

Kudo Lu, one of the Fort Chile Raiders, possesses the ability to follow monsters.

It was possible to have the village attacked by monsters.

Also, if he is the killer in honor of the Demon King, it is also convincing that he attacked the village.

Instead, if not, I don't know why I dared to destroy the village.

Finally, the Demon King began to move.

"... hmm?

But there I remembered the hook.

"... that? But Kudo Lu's abilities should not have been directly suited for combat. Then what do you mean, 'I stood my arm too to the point where I could defeat the monster'... no. Isn't that right?"

In contemplation, I remembered what had happened shortly after I had reunited with the students of the residual group protected by Mr. Siran at Fort Chile.

Raids by multiple Green Caterpillars.

Those monsters I took care of were made to attack by Kudo Lu in a selfie.

"... if you think about it, if you use Kudo Lu's abilities, you can do all you want to do."

Or maybe Anton, the Doppel Queen, was turning into something.

Anything will happen.

In anticipation of my conclusion, Mr. Gordon has spoken.

"Master Iino knows more about the King of the Demon Army than we do."

"" The King of the Demon Army "?

"That's what we call Kudo Lu, who did harm to Fort Chile."

Mr. Gordon answered me with his neck tilted.

"If Iino knows more about him, could you help?"

"Cooperation?

"Currently, we are expanding widely into the area and following the footsteps of those who deceive the brave. If Iino is after a phony as well, I'd be comfortable if you'd come with me."

"Right......"

If there was an organization chasing fake braves, it wasn't stingy to cooperate.

It cannot be confirmed yet, but if the false brave man is Kudo Lu, it will often be useful in terms of information.

The significance of my cooperation, both militarily and with great significance.

Kudo Lu's ability to manipulate a large group of monsters is a big deal.

Even with cheats, strength is at the top. In the normal Warriors on the expedition, they would be crushed by the quantity.

Because power is a drain premise, it is the ability to think of weaknesses only as much as it diminishes in a series of wars.

But I, the most powerful in the expedition, could have fought him from the front.

And even for me, working with the Knights of the Diocese had its merits.

Running around alone is because there are limits to collecting information as well.

If an information network as an organization is to be obtained, it would be appreciated.

But I could not immediately shake my head vertically.

"Wait. Before I do, I'd like to see someone who has information. Is that possible?

"Do you want to see me, sir?

"Yes, because you may know something by meeting and listening in person"

If you say it already, you don't even have to be brave like one day.

Mr. Gordon seems to be an honest man, but a mistake can be made.

"Has anyone survived in the village? If possible, I'd like to talk to you."

"... no. Unfortunately."

Mr. Gordon shook his head sideways.

"Really...... then I would like to go to the next village. That's where we should be able to talk, right?

To the next village, if you run, you'll be there by the end of the day.

There is little time loss.

But Mr. Gordon didn't look very good.

"Can't you?

"No way. It doesn't mean no. However, if you are going to the next village, I would like you to bring us the Cathedral Knight."

"You guys, right?

"Regardless, I don't mean to disturb you. However, there are the fakes of the brave. Given the current situation, Mr. Iino alone..."

Mr. Gordon clouds his words.

I frowned.

"Does that mean... that I can be mistaken for being a false brave man?

"Afraid."

Mr. Gordon nodded heavily.

"I'm glad I knew Iino's face this time, otherwise I might have taken care of him"

"... and so is that,"

Even where I was attacked, I would have been able to control it, but it must be a hassle.

"Okay."

I weighed the situation and eventually decided to take Mr. Gordon's offer.

Indeed, it would have some effect on the speed of movement.

But if we used the amount of information gathered by the organizational strength of the Knights of the Diocese, we would still have had a change.

Besides... I had a desire to confirm nearby what the presence of a diocesan knight was like.

It was Mr. Lewis who gave me the wrong information about the Fort Chile raid, but next to him was Mr. Travis.

I don't want to think that was intentional, and I don't want to imagine Mr. Travis chewing on it.

But it was nevertheless an undeniable fact that it was not a situation in which full confidence could be placed in the Knights of the Diocese.

I wanted to take this opportunity to identify the area.

And... this was only the last time, but I also thought it would be a good opportunity to see if the unambiguous suspicion against Takahiro Mashima had been passed on to the Knights of the Diocese via Mr. Travis.

If you're getting the wrong information, you can make it right.

... Nothing, I'm not trying to help him.

I don't like that guy, and I hate him.

But that has nothing to do with this.

The wrong thing has to be right. This is just that.

I opened my mouth after confirming in my heart such a natural thing.

"So who are you with?

It's also about same-sex, and I was wondering if it was around a lady knight named Eliner earlier, but Mr. Gordon's response was different.

"I'll come."

"Mr. Gordon?

When I opened my eyes and asked, Mr. Gordon nodded heavily.

"We accompany the brave. You have to be in a good position."

……

I was a little surprised, but if you think about it, this might have been convenient.

If you're going to make contact anyway, you'd better be a person in a position.

Because it would be quicker to convince a great human being to solve a misunderstanding about him.

"Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Gordon."

Thus I was to act with the Knights of the Diocese.
