Monster no Goshujin-sama

One.

Kick the earth and push your body forward.

Run through obstruction-rich woods, avoiding standing trees to the right and to the left.

I feel the wind. the false wind created by the disease.

It's the wind that only I feel in this world.

The pressure of the air, which creates the illusion that it is moving forward but is likely to be blown away by the urchin, tells the story of the abnormality of the speed at which it runs.

I affirm the anomaly.

There's something else I can't protect. So run. Keep running. The heat of my chest is the fuel, and it flies my body.

That's how we got there, it was a giant fort.

The name is Fort Ebenus. A densely magical forest - one of the bridgeheads of the human world to hold down monsters living in the northern realm of the Tree Sea welcomed me in the same position as when I left.

I'm happy about that, relieved... which is why I feel unforgivable.

I digested the last journey to the fort, forgiving the wrath in my breasts.

"Oh, that? Hey, you, Iino...? You were home!?

A few minutes after he was welcomed into the fort, he saw me walking slowly down the aisle of the fort, and several facial acquaintances called out.

All of them are my people - members of the expedition.

More than four months ago, we were transferred to this unknown and ridiculous world.

In the deep woods isolated from human society, monsters unlikely in common sense stripped us of their fangs. In the face of such a visible crisis, it is the expedition that was formed to find a place where everyone can live in peace.

Somehow, when we were transferred to this world, there were some of us transferees who gained power out of common sense.

We named this power to counter monsters' cheat abilities'. Together, they stood up and formed an expedition to protect their helpless companions who had been flown into different worlds.

Among them, I was equipped with a particularly powerful power.

The fastest in an expedition boasting overwhelming physical abilities. Yuna Iino from "Weiwaten". That's who I am now.

"Hey, man. What's going on?"

"What about Watanabe's idiot? What happened to the cross?

"I didn't hear from Fort Chilean you headed there, so worry about it over here..."

"Sorry. I was a little bit of a general manager on that matter... I need to talk to the leader. I think we'll talk more later."

I've been talking to some of the people I know, and now I'm rushing to my destination anyway.

Our expedition is made to rent a number of rooms at Fort Ebenus. What I'm on my way to is the Leader's room. patiently wanting to rush out, I once walked down the hallway.

"Wait a minute. Iino! The leader has a visitor."

"Visitors?"

I frowned upon the words of Kazu Asahi, a male student who had chased me to such a point.

"I'm sorry, Kazu-kun. The customer is talking about how the Empire somehow manages to count and where the Viscount's use greets him. That's not what I'm saying right now."

"Yes, no. You're not..."

What an exchange, while I was in the room.

A door that seemed so upscale that it did not seem like a military facility was proof that our leaders were treated in this fort with the utmost care that they could not even place below.

I felt signs beyond that door.

The door flickers before I reach for the knob.

On the other side of it was a man nearly two metres long.

Not who I was looking for. The guest Kazu-kun was talking about earlier, maybe, is this guy.

It was like this fort itself, a man of heavy vibes.

Is the year about over thirty? Shoulder-width, well-trained body is thick. The heavy armor was different from that of the Imperial Knight stationed at Fort Everia as well as that of the Imperial Army.

I was slightly surprised because somewhere, the man's face was similar to ours.

I've heard somewhere before that there is only one race in this world - white people in our world.

But the face of the man in front of him resembled that of us Japanese, although it was the carving that was deep. Speaking of half-like faces, it might be easy to understand. Hazel's eyes, but the color of her short, pruned hair was a familiar black.

The colour of the skin of the man with the large bald head, which accompanies the palate, is also light black. Quite thinner than the blacks in our world, but rare as humans in this world. At least I have never seen a human like them in either fortress, Ebenus or Chile.

Most importantly, even the Japanese have a deep sculpture, and that's probably all when it comes to personal differences...

That is how I could observe the two men, because they were also looking at me.

From beneath his thick brow Hazel's eyes gaze upon me.

That was by no means a gaze that contained inferior things that men directed at women.... or if so, I am punching my fist bones in its rocky face.

It wasn't... it was like trying to determine who I was.

Somehow, I remember the father of a police officer.

The eyes of the venerable Father toward me, who was still young, who did evil. Some nostalgic rigour stifles nature and my self.

"Excuse me, ma'am"

And the man put his hand upon his chest, and gave me a courteous thank-you, when I had barely given him the way.

Out of sight, I exhaled the breath I was unconsciously packing.

The man, with terribly heavy signs, leaves the hallway intact. I was dropping off that back, and I returned to me with a voice hung from beside me.

"... why are you here, Iino"

Standing at the entrance to the room was a tall girl in uniform.

"... Kuriyama"

Keiko Kuriyama. He was one third grade older than me, escorting the leader in the expedition. A pitiful eye under the non-framed glasses looks in turn at me and Kazu-kun, who was beside me.

"Besides, why is Mr. Kazu here? I thought you had a job?

"Ah, eh. The..."

"What is it"

"... excuse me. I'll be right back."

Mr. Kuriyama turned this way, driving away Kazu-kun, who was following me, with a cold gaze. Wow, I raised my voice inside.

"Mr. Iino. Weren't you supposed to be at Fort Chile for the rescue of colony survivors? Until there was a separate life, do you remember it as if you were supposed to be on a rescue mission?

"Yes. I'm just returning. I need to talk to the leader, can you hold on?

One thing about this older senior, I was a little bad at.

I hear that in the world where we were, we did well, and that she was a woman who was going to medical school to succeed in her family business. I'm actually very smart, and I support the leader... but I feel so dark and cold.

How can you keep her so close by using her so heavily that you're not convinced of the leader's decision only on this point?

... and realizing that I had myself thinking about it, I craved myself.

This shouldn't happen. She is one of the trusted Expedition companions. He's one of our courageous brethren who decided to head to the far east to protect everyone in the school.

Besides, that leader recognizes her and puts her nearby. That leader. At that point, there is no question that she is one of the most trustworthy people.

I'm sure the leader sees her beauty that I don't see.

... Well, where it was, it doesn't make my bad feelings about her disappear.

"That voice, Iino?

So when the boy's voice arrived from inside the room, I was a little relieved.

"Let me through, Moiko. There's a lot to ask about Iino."

"... ok. Please, come in. Iino."

Mr. Kuriyama gave way to me, and I was passed into my room.

Proceed to the back of the room, mindful of Kuriyama behind you.

A sofa opposite a table with short legs, in the corner of a large room. Until earlier, I guess I was welcoming guests there. Our leader, Kojiro Nakatsuki, was there.

Even from my familiar eyes, he was a well-dressed boy.

A sweet mask that doesn't seem strange to be in an idol group. Strong willed eyebrows. The tight, smooth length is wrapped in the clothes of this world.

In the expedition there are those who put their sleeves through the garments of this world and those who do not. I keep wearing my uniform because I'm extremely simply more comfortable with the original world's clothes, but on the contrary, the leader put his sleeves first through this world's clothes, and what a uniform. I disposed of other items.

I think that's his statement of intent. In particular, he also has many opportunities, from that standpoint, to deal with dignitaries of people from different worlds and their use.

The expedition members staying here at Fort Ebenus had about thirty male students who imitated him like that. Was it before I went to Fort Chile to rescue my girlfriend who laughed at how stupid a man was?

"You're home well, Iino. We were all worried."

A risen leader walks over to me.

That alone changes the air. I feel safe just being spoken to.

I guess this is what I mean, charisma.

I became aware of the relaxation, which is why I scolded myself for not doing so.

"I'm sorry I couldn't reach you. General Manager... Wasn't, Leader"

"I don't care if you're the director."

It's been a long time since I've had this kind of interaction.

We belonged to the same Kendo ministry when we were in the original world. Of course, the activity itself was divided between men and women, but there was interaction in relation to the senior junior year.

Think about it, he may have been different from some other student since then.

Without him, we probably wouldn't have had a few days in this other world. For example, even if I just think back about myself, I know that well.

Coming into this world, I have acquired unusual power.

But power doesn't make sense just by force. I tried to protect everyone from the monsters that attacked me, but that was not all I could do. He was the one who made his will to protect a proper reality.

I can still remember it vividly. That was the second day of the transfer.

When we had not even begun to build a temporary settlement that would later become known as a colony, we began exploring the surrounding area with courage.

There are still about a hundred people with a conscious cheat. I had encountered monsters many times as I explored the area on my own.

The hustle and bustle of the battle caught the monster's attention. The battle with the approaching monsters attracted even more monsters.

When I realized, there was nothing more I could do about it. Anyway, we just moved from a peaceful Japan, and we didn't even have a lot of combat experience.

We had to be a little more cautious. But that was impossible for us at the time when we were not able to assemble and move.

Even I, who at the time already had an alien ability to run faster than anyone else and was somewhat accustomed to waving my sword, darkened before my eyes in despair.

For example, if one of me could have survived.

But what if a monster pushes against hundreds of helpless students who don't know anything?... can't possibly protect all of them.

I was struck by my powerlessness, thinking of a clear and desperate future.

I understood what I thought and what I could not do.

Still thinking I had to fight, I pointed my shriveled legs at a large group of monsters.

But that's where I scratched the other cheats, and he came.

Before the monster in the depths of the pushed tree sea, with his ability, the glowing golden sword, he slapped on my shoulder, trembling at the thought of a tragic future, and he said:

- Tighten your chest. Yuna Iino. No matter who else denies it, even if you don't admit it yourself, I'll admit your will is worth it.

- It's not just Iino. Is this what you guys are worth? You think we're done here?

- I won't admit it. In this place, in this way, can you admit to gaming over? Never give up. Follow me!

Wielding a glowing sword that even attracted attention, he purposefully acted to stand out, attracting monsters first to a place away from the helpless students to be behind.

From there on out, the lion is very active. While slaughtering more monsters than anyone else with mighty power and a fearless mind, I even let that follow up if another student finds himself in a deadly situation because of his inexperience in combat. Fewer than fifty people participated in the battle at that time, but only one activity multiplied its power.

After the battle was over, nature and our centre had become Him.

An expedition was formed by his proposal. At first, there were about fifty members, but gradually the membership grew. Not that there was any other move to create an organization, but his vigorous activities brought the students together.

It was strength that brought together the students who were just the crowds of the U.N., our heroes. That was "Sword of Light" Kojiro Nakatsuki.

"To be honest, thank God"

said the leader who sat on the sofa for customer service opposite me.

"I haven't heard from Fort Chile, and it's been a long time. The communication of information in this world is too slow than the means of communication using magic technology does not work. or so, there's no point in coming in worse people than you're putting out 'Wewaten'. I thought I'd go myself."

"That's troublesome, Captain?

Kuriyama, standing behind the leader, pinched his mouth.

"The captain needs to consolidate our transferee's ground in this world"

"... you're right, Moeko's so loud. I'm glad you're back from that way more than I can move this way."

"Even if that's not what you mean, aren't you lucky she's back now?

"Uh, right. Do you have any of that? Glad we made it."

"Wait a minute. Please wait. What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I interrupted the interaction between the two.

"Ah. Right. Speaking of which, when I saw it a little while ago, I felt oddly few members. Hey, guys, you got something to do and you're out there? Like a massive sweep operation?

I guessed so from the dialogue that it was good in time.

Since I was here, the expedition had undertaken a crusade for monsters in the surrounding area by the leader hanging from the Knights stationed here at Fort Ebenus.

In custom, the transferees who have come to this world are invited as brave men to the diocesan Church that they are within the Empire. But we, the expedition, did not respond to the demands of the convocation. Because we had to rescue the other students who were supposed to remain in the colony.

Fort Ebenus with means of long-distance communication was the best way to receive contact from the nearest Fort Chile to a colony deep in the tree sea. If I go to the Empire or something, I'm going to abandon my frightened companions behind the tree sea. Not that there were any objections within the expedition either, but the intention of the leader led us to remain at Fort Ebenus.

As for the crusade of monsters in the surrounding area, the leader had offered not to do anything while they were allowed to stay.

In your connection, for example, if there is a large-scale operation, I - I can also nod to the story that 'Weiwaten' was glad to make it.

"The two of you just now, is that a relationship? Somehow, it wasn't just an atmosphere."

"If that's what 'Wewaten' says, they'll be happy too. Anyway, Iino's guess is half right. They have something to do with it, but I don't know how the operation works."

"Then...?

"They are the Knights of the Cathedral. You've heard about Iino, too, haven't you?

"The Cathedral Knights... is the greatest force to fight with the brave in this world...?

"Oh. He cut the numbness and finally came to identify us in person. That's right, the captain himself."

"Identify?"

"Said it was one of those guys' jobs. Determine if the brave men who show up are real."

I remember the earlier man's eyes.

Was that what that meant?... not pleasant, but if you try to be the inhabitant of this world, the transferee from another world equals the lifeline of the world. It may be necessary to determine whether it is genuine or not.

"Though, he said it was like confirmation."

"So the leader who can flatter his shoulders and say that lightly is amazing after all"

"Really? Sure, but that old man's face scared me. Still, not as good as a monster. So, that interview just ended. Results pass. I'm not lying because I'm from another world, naturally."

"Isn't that good?"

"Right.... it just made it harder to be here any longer"

"Are you saying you're going to take the invitation?

He said, "Oh, he's in trouble. Sounds like we're talking about political territory, but I'm not sure around it.... I don't know, but even as us, we can't just ignore it forever more than we take care of it this way. Expedition leaves Ebenus"

The leader, who said in a tone announcing his decision, gave a slight frown and a difficult face.

"It just seemed like, well, half my thoughts were off the hook over there. Those guys were a little late to get here."

"Was it too late?

It was Kuriyama who answered my question with his neck tilted.

"There are sixty-three expeditions here right now. Approximately half. I'm getting ready to leave the fort now. The rest of the students have already left the fort."

"Left the fort...? Where?"

"Come on? It may or may not be the Empire"

I freeze at the facts told in a voice of diminished interest. Including what I deliberately rephrased as' the rest of the students', I knew what had happened.

"Did you get a renegade?!?

"That's the wrong way to say it, Iino. They traveled on their own initiative."

The leader waved for the first time.

"We weren't forced to be together. I was flown into this other world, and I came together of my own free will to open the crisis in front of me. Wouldn't you? What you say is you're going to ruin our feelings."

"So, but..."

"I struggled and I finally got here. Don't you think it's natural that you want to live from here on out? I'll shut up and drop them off, and I'll bless their future. In the first place, wanting to help the rest of the colony is like mine. As I do this on my own will, those are them, and you just have to enjoy life in this other world. Don't you have to feel comfortable with me?"

It was a leaderlike dialogue.

He cares about everyone's will. Because of him, we can also say that he led more than a hundred students on an unseen journey to this point.

I can no longer say anything.

"If you want to change your mind..."

So Mr. Kuriyama pinched his mouth.

"- You can also say that now the impurities have disappeared, right?

Mind my gaze, Kuriyama continued.

"The only one here who empathizes with the captain's ideals and tries to stay with him. And you think that's the same, don't you, Iino?

"Right. I want Iino to come with me to Teito. Of course, I can't impose it, but I'd love it if you came"

"I..."

Before the two of them, I hesitated to answer for a beat.

But my mind had already decided. Because that's what I've been trying to do since before I got here.

"I'm sorry, leader. I can't go with you."

"Right. Can I ask you why?... No. Speaking of which, didn't you hear what was still happening in Chile?"

"Yes, I'll tell you more, but I have a guy I need to catch."

I clenched my fist.

"Fort Chile was attacked by monsters as I went to the depths of the Tree Sea to help the survivors with the Imperial Knight. A lot of people died. That's what people do when they come to this world with us. It's not to be forgiven. I will surely bring you to justice."

"... right? Fort Chile, after all."

A leader who was listening to my story opened his eyes slightly.

But at the point where I can't hear from Fort Chile, I guess I assumed this sort of thing, too. The reaction stayed with it and encouraged me with my eyes to get ahead of the story.

"I will leave the fort from now on. To chase the killer."

"The killer... the killer. Do you know who did it?

"It looks like the information is complicated, and I couldn't even meet an Allied Knight person who knew the core.... but I could hear the names of the two definite suspects. As for one of them, Kudo Lu, unfortunately, I don't know where he is. Apparently, he's lurking in a tree sea."

"The tree sea is wide. You're behind us. Does that mean it's another suspect we're after?"

"Yes."

I nodded.

He tells his name to chew while holding back the anger in his chest.

"His name is Takahiro Mashima. I'm going to go after him."
