Monster no Goshujin-sama

Five.

I, along with Lily, also had the scar of the other raid out on the outer wall of the deep fort.

The area surrounding Fort Chile, situated in the northern part of the tree sea, is enriched by one hand. To discover monster raids as soon as possible by improving the outlook.

If we looked around from the top of the outer wall, we could see that the boundary between the teary ground and the green forest showed the area of human survival visibly.

... the border seemed to be looming this way without a heart.

It's not my fault. Trees are sprouting early on on the ground that should have been pioneering.

It seems that the speed of growth of the trees, which from my point of view feels unusual, is still not an ordinary thing in this world.

This is a tree sea. It is a special forest with intense magic.

The trees of the sea are growing fast.

Even more so if that is no longer the realm of man.

Land that has lost its fort quickly suffers the erosion of the tree sea.

As if the forest knew human defeat and retreat, the trees would speed up its growth and fill the land they were pioneering.

That's what Kay told me the other day.

With the forest in front of me like this, the tree sea itself seems like one monster, making my spine a little colder.

"Did you come here, Takahiro?"

With Lily beside me, I looked back at the voice.

There he was, a long-time knight of disappointing stature - the leader of the Alliance Knights to every woman. Next door is a small figure of my friend, Kanahiko Tachigi.

"I will come first. Takahiro. Regards,"

"Okay."

Speak to me, the captain leaves.

There are hundreds of lives on its back. Every step taken seemed to show its weight.

"... Captain, you look a little naughty, are you all right"

When I asked him that, Kanahiko looked up.

"The people who headed for the rescue deep in the Tree Sea... Especially the opinion that we should wait for Yuna Iino of the expedition to return, came out to the end. It took me a long time to convince them. Even though I'm busy, not at all."

The mountain hut, protected by junction stones deep in the tree sea, could still have the survival of the transferees. In order to rescue them, "Wewaten" Yuna Iino had taken the Imperial Knights towards the Tree Sea, and ten more days had passed today.

The mountain hut, which was relatively close to Fort Chile, has already been turned by Allied knights led by Silan. For that reason, Iino was headed for a cabin that was to be built farther from here.

There was also her own suggestion, and it had been decided to go around quite a few at once and to the colony as well. Then, naturally, the rescuers will increase - regardless, if they were able to spot the survivors, but - their movements as a group will become dull.

Initially, they thought about twenty days round trip, but eventually, they talked about a break in a mountain hut, a safe zone, that might take a month or so.

Bad for Iino and Imperial Knights, but the status quo of the fort is not sweet enough to wait that long.

Fortunately, their safety is guaranteed for a significant part, beyond the fact that even the expedition has a 'Wewaten' with a fingerfold combat capability.

The Imperial Knights have supplied fairly expensive magic tools at all costs, such as tool bags that contain many times more things than they look and are well preserved, and don't worry about the supplies you carry.

The decision of the head of the delegation who decided to withdraw could first be said to be reasonable.

But even if it were reasonable, that would not necessarily be acceptable.

"Besides, for the future."

Kanahiko scratched his blushing head.

"If there's a big case, we need someone to take responsibility for it. But the man in charge of Fort Chile has been murdered..."

"Are you saying the captain will be held accountable?"

"... the original knight's jurisdiction is the crusade of monsters spreading in the tree sea, not the fort's defense. In fact, the captain was not in a position to speak out for the operation of the fort just because he was leading the knights. But if there's no one else out there, luckily, only the captain could push the blame. I've been in Fort Chilea longer than Takahiro and I know how weak the Allied Knights are."

Sighing in worry, Kanahiko held his fist, breathing all the time.

"I have to work hard to keep you from doing that. That's why I'm coming. Yeah, yeah, I'll show you later. Tell Rose and Kato that, too."

I was talking to Kanahiko this morning about Rose's use of mock demon stones.

I still heard from Rose lightly, but Kanahiko seemed to have a lot on his mind. When I had time again, I was supposed to show my face.

This also combines Kato's male phobia rehab.

With what she herself said, as of this morning, Rose and Kanahiko would not fall even if they were in a place where they were talking. I hope it keeps getting a little better.

"I'm sorry. I'm busy, but I need you to hang out."

"Ha. That's what I'm saying. Besides, I'm enjoying myself."

"No, you, I liked the craftsmanship."

Kanahiko, who was a versatile and active geek, had been secretly working part-time at school since middle school, and saving money was quite a hand at becoming a plastic model.

Apparently, there was something touching the harp wire, and this morning Kanahiko, who saw Rose's production skills, was an exciting display of interest.

"Ma. That's true, too, but that's not all. After a while, Takahiro couldn't keep it in the corner."

Kanahiko waved, finally laughing at.

"You mean Lily. Or Gabella's?

When I gave her the name of a girl who had a clear preference for me other than Lily, she waved Kanahiko.

"No. Neither do you, but what I'm talking about is Kato. You're a jerk. She, I'm Takahiro's friend, so I don't care if she's nearby. The motivation is not to pull Takahiro's leg."

"... well, I'm sure they trust me"

I was listening to Kanahiko's desperate voice, "Stay with me," of Kato coming to the table for conversation with Kanahiko and Rose, and his reddish face back in my brain.

It's just that she's not like that.

Kato is different from Gabella.

If you don't know anything about the situation, it's certainly not strange to get it wrong.

But she can't afford that right now. Anyway, she's in the middle of a serious fight against male phobia.

Even though, she's in a difficult time. Kanahiko doesn't know the details of the situation, so there is no choice, but I didn't really want these types of tears to happen.

"It's nice to make fun of me. It's about the other guy. Don't do that."

When I said in an embarrassing tone, Kanahiko looked exquisitely subtle and saw Lily.

"Mr. Lily. This, seriously, I doubt it, but how did you drop this tangy tree?

"There's a way it works, but it doesn't.... Your husband will respond appropriately if you press for it with all your heart?

"Hmm? Uh... okay. In short, you mean you pushed it down?

"What's the point? Like what?"

I frowned upon Kanahiko, who snarled his fingers.

Sure, it was more or less like that.

By and large... by and large? No. How'd it go?

When you ask me and I think back, it's like I've never approached you before?

It's more like it's all been, like, an impending outfit...?

Kanahiko said to me that he was more aware and stunned by the situation involving the men's tickets.

"We're all good kids, and don't take care of him, right? Needless to say,"

"Oh. Of course it is"

Kanahiko narrowed her eyes under her glasses and laughed.

"Oh well. Then I'll go.... Oh, shit. I want the captain's plush too!

Shortly after Kanahiko screamed, his voice returned from afar.

"Kanahiko! What are you shouting at, stupid things!

"Do it, I heard you!? I'm sorry, Captain. I was kidding, but it's true!

An angry Kanahiko follows the captain even as he runs his bullshit. I dropped that back off.

"... good luck, Kanahiko"

Kanahiko, who had a relatively long stay at Fort Chile and had no such subtle circumstances as mine, was following the Captain of the Regiment, making the best use of his position as a brave man.

Because, Mr. Commander, from the head of the Alliance's Third Knights, the man of the Empire, who makes up the vast majority of Fort Chile, the only person in the world is a man of another country. For her, with or without Kanahiko beside her, the ease of movement is out of step.

He's doing the best he can.

I think it's natural that you don't want to lose, maybe because you're a friend.

As we looked from above the outer wall, soldiers began to advance in a row through the makeshift bridge mounted in front of the main gate.

We march one row at a time, from left to right, with the cars using example demonic stones centered on the path where the carriages can be kept at different widths.

Leading this is the Allied Knights blunt armored figure.

About half of the Alliance knights are here. Among them was Silan's white armor.

Even if you lose your ability to fight, the best fighting ability in the northern realm of the Tree Sea is alive and well. For a group of exposures, silane is placed in the leading population.

In contrast, the other half of the Allied knights were protecting the central part of the population.

If we were to travel five hundred people down the street, the group would stretch long and natural.

The street through the woods is a grueling forest of vicious monsters to the left and right. The main unit, led by the leader of the regiment, was to take control of the whole, while preserving the centre of the row.

Among them was the figure of Kanahiko, who wore only one leather armor.

"... can we leave without delay first?"

I've been watching, but at least so far, there's been no monster raid. It doesn't seem like it's just about getting attacked right after you leave and getting your nose screwed.

"All right, we should get going."

We have a backward guard.

It was a position that didn't have to be too public, even when it came to mobilizing the entire family.

By the way, cars in non-combatants are collected at the rear. It was a testament to the trust placed in us by our warriors and, at the same time, by our corrupt captain trying to keep as many of them alive as possible.

Once inside the building, we headed towards the main entrance again.

The cars that were collected there are hardly any more left. The remaining cars, with the exception of one, were already moving every single one of them.

Perfect timing. I jumped on the last one - the owner table of the car I was renting.

Hold Lily, who jumped on after him, and then turn the cloth attached to the inlet so that she can't see what's inside from the outside.

In addition to my family, Kay was making a fool of herself.

"It's time to get it out"

Speak up, and I sat in line with Lily on your stand.

The cars of different worlds, powered by magic, are basically close to those of the front carriage.

The wide seats, where even three men could afford to sit, had inclined footrests, which allowed them to secure their bodies.

In the front of your podium was mounted a muddy protective plate that rose upside down towards your seat.

This was even about the height of the bosom of the man who sat on the throne, and was provided with a gray demonic stone of fist magnitude just within reach.

The protective plate is fitted with an elephant statue from the horse's neck toward the front of the body, reminiscent, somewhere, of the statue of the goddess on the bow. The demon stone was attached to the root of its neck.

I touched the Demon Stone.

The operation method is simple. All you have to do is touch it and pour in your own magic.

This replaces the ignition device. You don't need to keep letting magic flow any longer than you are storing magic in the atmosphere and using it as a power source.

By the way, I was wondering in what way you were driving the wheel, but the effect of the mounted demon stone seems to be 'creating the force to pull forward on the body of the vehicle'. In short, it's a vehicle on the carriage extension.

This force extends only to the body of the vehicle and does not include the mounting. Attention, fall immediately after launch.

When the body began to move with the sound of the wheels, sway was transmitted from the ground.

Although not very comfortable, the road surface is not in good condition, so I guess I can't help this. The one who gets car sickness looks spicy.

"Takahiro. How did you like your sister?

As I started going after the car in front, Kay quickly stepped out between me and Lily.

The trick that reminded me of a nostalgic puppy was to invite me to smile.

"Silan was a fine lead for everyone. What was Kay talking about?

"It's about my hometown."

Kay is drooling over her chest with the same golden hair as Silan into a tiny mistletoe today. Maybe Kato did it. Occasionally, she changes Rose's hair a lot.

"Mr. Gabella wants to hear it, so I was talking to you."

"Um, because the concubine hadn't heard anything about it yet."

Then a white girl turned up next to Kay.

The beauty that you are accustomed to and still can't help but catch your eye is even closer to Kay, who packs the distance with his young innocence.

Gabella, who had grabbed both shoulders from behind, put her head over her shoulder and peered into this face from the side. White, thin hair dripping like spider yarn tickles off my neck.

"... be careful, Gabella"

I glanced at Gabella's red eyes in a good mood.

"Because if you happen to be seen by someone somewhere, it's gonna be a big deal. Look, I'm imitating you till you stop."

Gabella popped up at the same time as she showed her face, Fox Ayama sat on my lap. It's probably the smell of the air that the car is changing as it moves along that's making my nose crack.

"I know. Nevertheless, the concubine is no different than a human being when she's only out on her torso, and she can't see the flashes on her knees from the outside at an angle."

For once, she's thinking about it, too.

I thought that would be okay, but about the inadvertent Gabella. I've never been over to stab a nail.

"I'm sorry, but you can pull me in when you get into the settlement. Your appearance just catches people's attention. It's more dangerous to draw useless attention than you're hiding."

"Mr. Gabella, you're so beautiful. Right, Takahiro?"

"Oh. Right."

"Ugh, um? I see."

I pressed my cheeks to peel my gaze off from Gabella, who reacted adorably, and I asked Kay.

"So, how far have we talked?

"Yeah, it's..."

The Empire, the largest nation on this continent, is officially called the 'ELEX Empire'.

With the emperor as its apex, it is a feudal state ruled by nobles with territory.

In contrast, the "small group of nations subordinate to the Empire as a Sovereign Nation" is called the Alliance.

They say this is a remnant of what these small nations once tried to do together against the Empire. It was centuries ago, and the reign of Carl, the immortal king of the example tragedy, will be around this time.

Although there has been such a history, or the Empire has bordered some of its vast national territory on the tree sea, the Allied nations have all bordered the tree sea.

Naturally, each of these small group of countries has its own name. The Alliance's Third Knights, for example, are marched from this one small country, 'Akel'.

The Allied nations bordering the southern part of the Empire and facing the northern realm of the Tree Sea are called the 'five northern realms', and these countries are to the west from Fort Chile. In contrast, the Allied States located east of the Tree Sea are referred to as the 'Three Eastern States'. By the way, it is said that the forest fills the west and south of the tree sea up to the edge of the continent, but no one has been able to confirm this.

Akel, a small country to which we have been invited, is one of the five countries in the North.

It seems like a small country full of villages. It is sparsely populated, as about a third of its small territory is occupied by steep mountains and some areas remain part of the tree sea that has been left behind.

Poor, but they say it's a country full of the wind of martial arts, and pioneering village kids like Kay have swords from an early age and acquire the art of fighting.

Otherwise you won't survive, I guess you're more right.

The monster threat is enormous because he is bordering a small piece of land on the tree sea, and the royal family is apparently leading the Knights of the Kingdom of Akel, the mother of the Alliance's Third Knights, on a westward run around the land.

These situations are said to be normal in the five northern regions.

When I hear of the king, I have the image of an old man fluttering around in a red carpet room in a castle that comes out of the game, but as far as the royalty of an allied country is concerned, it may be more like a warlord in a place called Japan.

I guess it was also because of these plots that the leader, who was supposed to be the princess, was usually mixed up with the knights and out on the battlefield.

With the survival of Fort Chile, led by the Commander of the Regiment, we head north on the streets that run through the sea of trees. This street leads to the 'Count Lawrence Territory' in the southern realm of the Empire.

The largest city closest to Fort Chile is Serratta, a trading city in central Count Lawrence territory. We'll head north to this Serratta first.

So the captain was going to report to all places about what happened to Fort Chile.

Everything says Serratta has a means of distance information transmission that was connecting Fort Chile to Fort Ebenus, which is far east. What was in Fort Chile is that it was lost when the monster struck, so let's use the nearest one.

Although we have already heard that we are running early horses the day after the raid, it is possible that more information has not been communicated with certainty than through a land called the Tree Sea, and I guess it makes sense for people in positions to report it.

Thereafter, the identities of the soldiers belonging to the Imperial Army are deposited in the Count Lawrence territory of the same empire, and the Commander himself leads the Allied Knights back to his country, reporting the situation once face-to-face with the Father King. At that time, he was talking about taking us.

The small country Akel is a little farther away because it is southwest of Serratta, but there is no choice around it.

First of all, before we do that, if we don't make it through the tree sea safely, we won't talk.

I had to pull myself together.

"Ahhh!

Temper flashed. One of Lesser Hudler's heads, a six-headed serpent about to be attacked by soldiers defending the preceding car, was punched through the tip of a black spear released like a bullet.

It was Lily, my family, a monster who simulated the appearance of a girl who was not even old enough to pull the tip of a wet spear back into her body fluids.

Lily, who gently sent another head attack to pierce her poison fangs, crushed the head that had been attacked with a step in return.

"Huh!

Rotate the stepped foot with the axial foot.

The skirt flicks and the long legs draw a beautiful arc.

Back spinning kick.

On one of the long stretched snake's necks, a heel with intense power was slapped on the back of what appeared to be luxury. It sounds so sticky that the blown snake's neck twists and flies and disappears into the woods.

"... that's overwhelming. Although monsters on the surface of the tree sea"

"No."

If I sat on the berth of the stopped car and crushed it, Gabella shook her shoulder with pleasure as she lifted up the covering cloth and stepped herself out of the car.

Lily's movements were remarkably better than before.

With more magic from preying on many monsters at Fort Chile, among them, like Fire Fang, they had monsters that could enhance their sensory organs by preying. Now she was able to grasp her physical abilities as a monster as well as the surrounding circumstances to gain better control.

That's not all.

On Lily's left hand, a 'red' magic formation unfolds.

Built is the 'fire magic' of the second staircase.

A rolled fireball burst, burning the eyes of the serpent.

I screamed and glanced, and the eartip of the spear ripped my throat.

Lily was able to use fire magic and earthly magic by eating monsters, including Fire Elemental. Both are second steps, but there is no doubt that the range of tactics has widened. Currently, he was actively using new magic to conquer new powers.

Surely Lily is ascending the stairs.... but it still doesn't extend to the ability to fight with cheats.

That was not long before Lesser Hudler sank to the ground.

You have just the eye, so you can't prey. Sometimes it's a monster I've eaten during the reprocessing of Fort Chile, and it's left here.

Lily came back to me with the strangely hot eyes of the soldiers.

I'll leave it to Gabella, who pulled into the car, to tell the Roses what's going on, and I'll pick Lily up.

I'm home.

"Good luck"

When I wiped the blood of the snake that flew on my cheek with a cloth, Lily laughed all the time next to me sitting on your stand.

How many times is this going to screw Lily like this?

Sixth day after leaving Fort Chile. There were many monsters on the road.

I heard from Kanahiko when we met face-to-face that there are more monsters than I expected.

At a time when Fort Chile was not functioning, the Knights, who were exterminating monsters near the streets, were unable to move, so this was a natural story to say for granted.

Silan's enemy abilities cannot be used at this time.

The only thing that can take the lead against the monster is Lily with a nose and one of us who has a quit. Imagining himself as no different from a human being, Lily jumped out of our car more than once a day.

But the only thing you can cover with that is the rear of the population at best.

I can't see it in person, but in the lead group, it seems that Silan is showing the activity of a hundred manpower. But even then, there is a limit to what we can follow.

The rest of the monsters were defeated by Allied Knights led by the Commander and soldiers of the Army.

When the monster shows up, the soldiers in the army lined up to pinch the car set up a shield.

While getting the injured out, the soldiers somehow sneeze off the first blow. In some cases, the Alliance knights of the guerrillas made it before that.

It is the task of the Allied Knights to fight directly. They set up a big shield to protect the people behind them, while looking at the gaps and rolling out the weapons in their hands.

That's how the monsters that have been held down are infused with the arrows and magic of reinforcements unleashed by the army.

The Imperial Army is never a weak soldier either. Even if there is a lack of power to hit directly, from distance to sharpening to killing, the Knights of the Alliance also show collaboration.

The nature of these army soldiers can be contrasted with the fact that knights, who often operate in tree waters where it is difficult to collaborate in large numbers, are individually and powerfully capable of combat.

Concentrate and attack bows and arrows and magic from as far away as possible.

If it comes to a close fight, create a clash and crush it in collaboration.

Their form of combat presupposes a defensive battle in the presence of Fort Chile or a battle in the land they have pioneered.

steadily form a number of violence. That's what they were trained to do.

To my mind, being hit with a ton of monsters, like Kudo did, was probably the worst part of the Imperial Army asking for numbers.

In fact, unlike the first shooting, which was almost doomed, since the battlefield moved inside the fort, the soldiers in the army had made the battle come about by utilizing narrow passages for monsters.

Alternatively, it could have been possible that if the damage had been disregarded and the entire Fort Chile garrison force had been hit from the front, it could have been done with the ten letters.

No matter, you will still have to make a lot of sacrifices, and I don't think those crosses could have come from the front, and the soldiers could have bowed to their brave opponents in the first place.

Either way, the army in this world is stronger than I thought.

This would also make it possible to minimise the damage and cross the tree sea.

The healing of the wounded soldiers was over and the line of cars that had stopped began to move.

The last thing we do is move. You realize I'm free, I'll wait against Asalina with a glimpse of my face.

"Hmmm......"

"What's up?

Lily next door raised a difficult voice, so I gave her my gaze.

"I don't think it's going to work."

With a serious face, Lily looks down at her right hand, which she puts on her lap. What are you doing?

And when I thought, a change came first from her right wrist.

"Huh...?

A slender hand grew larger, and the bristles covered the surface.

Bear hands. I understand that it belongs to Raph Rabbit, a beastly monster deep in the sea.

"Tsk."

- At the same time Lily gives a bitter squeal, the bear starts to spill, as if something is rampaging inside her right hand.

You're out of control, Lily bit her lip gently.

"Ah!?

She frowned and frowned. Ahead, the hand made a sound, slimy back and bounced.

"So, are you okay, Lily!?

"Mm-hmm. I'm fine, I'm fine"

I rush to take her wrist, but soon thereafter the body tissue of the slime flourished, shaping the girl's hand even though it took a little time.

I held her hand when it was repaired. Relax.

"What was that, right now?"

"An experiment, I guess. Ah. Your husband. The car in front of me moved."

When I set off the car, Lily opened her mouth.

"My pseudo abilities seem to have limitations."

"Limits?"

"Yeah. I can only simulate one kind of monster at a time."

I leaned my neck toward Lily's words with my lips pointed.

"Lily used to slime her lower body."

"Your husband. Slime is who I am, not a pseudo."

If you ask me...... usually Lily, who looks like a girl, was never changing parts of her body to anything other than slime.

I'm not simulating it, that's just solving some of the simulations. Is that why it was done? I've certainly never seen more than two things simulated before.

"Of course, I've done it before to put the abilities of other monsters on this figure. So is Fire Fang's sense of smell, and he's borrowing Raph Rabbit's arm. Fire and dirt magic are now available, 'cause that's what I mean. But it's going to get worse."

"Degradation...?

"Taking the original monster's abilities as a hundred percent, I think it's about eighty percent at best that I can demonstrate when I become that figure. If this tries to show your abilities in another way, you'd better go sixty percent. Of course, there are special abilities that cannot be expressed in this outfit in the first place..."

Lily's ability to simulate prevents her from perfectly reproducing the abilities of a simulated monster. That's what I've always known.

"The pseudo is not real. There's a fake and a real insurmountable disconnect"

Lily said in a slightly lower voice.

"But that's why you can't give up, can you? If you can't get over it, you have to figure it out."

"Is that the partial fiction you just made?"

I fell to my heart. Why do you say that all of a sudden?

Realizing the power of having cheats, it means Rose is not the only one with a sense of crisis.

I guess Lily had a lot to think about, too. While Rose suggested the direction of martial arts, she contemplates aspects of harnessing her traits as a monster.

I can't deny my family any more than Lily and the others are working hard. As their Lord, they will have to work many times harder.

"Hey, husband"

With that in mind, Lily asked in a half-solicited tone.

"Why can't I use my cheat abilities?

"Huh...?

"I knew I..."

Lily, who was about to say it, blinked unexpectedly as she noticed something.

"Your husband. That."

At the tip of my finger, I could see something unusual in the scenery where even the trees just lined up.

Sturdy walls stacked with stones. Around, though not as deep as Fort Chile, moats and earth bases are strewn deep enough.

The appearance of the fortress conforms to what you were hearing beforehand.

We reached the nearest pioneering village of Fort Chile.
