Monster no Goshujin-sama

Ten.

The monster crusade around the pioneering village, carried out by the Knights, ended with the cooperation of villagers familiar with geography, without one victim, at the top and tail.

Me and Lily took part in this, as I offered to the captain.

The monsters seemed to be on the increase, and there were no slightly more flimsy occasions.

But Siran, who fights in the lead, and Lily, who protects me but releases magic and turns to cover, and the Knights, who are used to fighting, cut this through the front.

It was a valuable opportunity for me to gain experience in action.

It was unfortunate that I could not find my family, but even if I did, it would be difficult to explain to the villagers who were accompanying me. Maybe this was a good idea.

When we returned, we stayed in the pioneering village for another night.

At night, apart from the fact that Taiichi Sanoko brought his friends to apologize for drunkenness, we left the village at dawn, especially at night.

The villagers missed us more about the brave than about us.

The premature horse that the commander made ahead of him should be delivering information on the fall of Fort Chile, but I don't know how quickly the empire will strike a hand.

In some cases, villagers will also have to abandon this pioneering village and evacuate north.

In that situation, it seems to me that the villagers' expression had more expectations than anxiety. I guess the reason for this is still in the presence of the brave men we have descended into this world.

In the first place, why is Fort Chile being abandoned and the need for villagers to evacuate is emerging? Thinking about the area, as far as I was concerned, it also made me feel a little complicated.

The villagers do not know about the work of Tatsuya Shigami or Lu Kudo.

Because it is not something that can be easily blown, the captain only explained the reason for the fall of Fort Chile that he was attacked by a large number of monsters.

If I had known, how would their eyes have changed toward us?

I could not help but be aware of the gaze of the villagers poured in the back of the cars leaving the village.

The captain left some of the soldiers in the village in case anything happened.

As a result, the journey ahead from there became a little harsh. Considering that you have restored your qi strength by resting in the village, is it something like this?

The monotonous forest scenery continues uninterrupted, but it can't be distracting. Defeating the monster raid, the journey continued.

It was three days after leaving the village that there was a change in the itinerary.

"This is..."

I thought there were gradually fewer trees in my eyes.

I expected it to be about time.

However, I never thought this would be a clear 'change'.

And there was always something round about us, as it proceeded in the water.

No color, no smell.

Until now, I hadn't noticed because I was in it.

My senses were saturated and I was paralyzed.

But with that gone, I've never figured it out.

This is the sea of trees.

It is a kind of alien world, created by special trees with magic.

The reluctance of animals, including horses, to enter may be due to a sensitivity to these air differences.

I left it to Lily, who was sitting next to me, to drive the car, and I stood up on the table.

The sound of the brakes was blowing, and the car we rode was going down a loose gradient.

From the high sight of your table, you could see the way forward in the gap between the trees standing side by side.

The trees dwindled in density, and meadows were spread out on the way.

I saw a small, pioneering village-like settlement.

Is the thick green mass that spreads at the foot of the distant mountains just a forest? Or is it a slice of the tree sea left behind?

Close your eyes across the street. The smell of the wind was also different.

"Seniors, now..."

Looking at the view in front of me, Mr. Kato turned to your podium.

She felt something, too. Expectations are appearing in my eyes. I snorted back.

"Oh. Apparently he went through the tree sea"

Slightly relaxed air had also been created for soldiers moving forward in two rows.

The captain's voice, giving instructions to re-establish his temper, reached this point.

"Finally..."

When Kato snapped with a voice with all sorts of emotions, he embarked on the platform.

She had often been blinded by the scenery.

Because I am embarking on a journey, I have not noticed that my distance is closer than usual.

But that's not what I can do or do.

We have been imprisoned in these woods ever since we were flown into this other world.

They finally made it through the woods. Wordless emotions must have filled the back of my brain.

I noticed Kato's hand grabbing the hem of my clothes.

Sounds like unconscious behavior, and she stays eyes on the plains.

Point it out, maybe this hand will go away.

That seemed like an act that would break this time.

I pretended not to notice and flew my gaze away again.

At the end of this road, the Empire has Lawrence territory, the trading city of Serratta.

With a somewhat lighter foothold, the surviving soldiers of Fort Chile continue down the street.

We set foot in the Empire's Count Lawrence territory through the sea of trees.

According to stories I've heard from Kay before, there seems to be a strong disdain for elves around here.

In the southern part of the empire, including Count Lawrence's territory, the elves have a stronger hue as inhabitants than in the northern part, which does not face the tree sea.

Given Elf's position as a defensive force, that would be more convenient.

In contrast, in the five northern regions, which included Kay himself and Akel, a small country, the home of Silan, historically there is a weak sense of discrimination against the elves.

However, this one is like the whole country being half swallowed by the tree sea in the first place, so in any case, it seems that the lives of the elves are painful.

In retrospect, when preparing to leave Fort Chile, Siran was in charge of the knights, replacing the captain, who was accompanied by Kamihiko and had given instructions to soldiers of the Imperial Army.

The Imperial Southern Army also includes a large number of people from Count Lawrence territory.

A division of roles was taking place between Mr Commander and Siran because of the circumstances around here.

"Kay. Hey, can you come over here?

At night we were camping a little further away to avoid the unfortunate friction with the soldiers accompanying us.

Kay, the caregiver, was with me.

Occasionally Siran and Kanahiko come, but that day had not come.

"What is it, Takahiro?"

Kay, who was talking to Gabella, is coming this way.

I had a refrain in my arm. Sleek hands and feet are cute.

When he looked at me, he moved his legs.

He wants to come over here.

I said to Kay when I received a stop swimming with a dog scratch of the universe, waving my tail busily.

"I have something for Kay."

"What I'll give you, is that it?

"Oh. Rose. Give him what you just showed me."

"Yes. Your husband"

Rose, who was beside me, nodded and gave Kay what he had.

"I borrowed some new magic stones. I used one of those simple things to get Rose to make magic tools."

What I gave Kay was a simple decorative bracelet.

It is embedded with a cream-colored mock demon stone.

"This will be a sculpture of flashing demon stones"

"... Huh?

Kay tried to fit her bracelet with joy in my words I told her as she stroked her abstention.

"A flashing demon stone is that one that's disposable, right?

"Oh. That's it."

Demon Stone has a limit on how many times it is used.

Flashing Demon Stone is a non-lethal Eye Crushing Demon Stone. Self-destruct by producing intense light.

Even if it produces the same light, it's not the same as a long-usable lighting demon stone.

This involves the quality of the Demon Stone and the output.

Higher quality will last longer, and higher output will drain faster.

"Oh, you can't have that expensive stuff."

A hasty Kay tries to return the bracelet.

Quality raw stones are not usually used for flashing demon stones. For this reason, it is cheaper among demonic stones, but still seems to be the price of butt waste for the average person considering it a disposable protective gear.

Nevertheless, this is not a normal demon stone, it is a simulated demon stone.

"It's homemade, so it's not like the cost of materials is hanging. Please don't be disposable. That's all Rose can make yet."

So far, the mock-up demon stones that Rose can make are low in output and durability.

Naturally, it's still in the trial and error stages, but there are only a few things that can be made.

In addition, Rose's simulated demon stone also had another technical limitation.

To sum up, demon stones require the magic of the user and do not.

Water bottles and lighters that produce water, for which the former example is a magic tool, and the latter example is a car powered by the magic of the atmosphere.

The latter has the ability for the Demon Stone to absorb magic power by some means.

An extreme example of this, for example, is the tools to keep criminals in this world locked up.

In our former world, we can disable humans simply by keeping them in jail.

But some of the inhabitants of this world have the strength to strengthen their flesh with magic, manipulate magic, and have the fighting power to break through prisons without tools.

In this world with the threat of a monster, they receive considerable high treatment, but still none can be said to run to crime.

As a countermeasure to such human beings, he said, this world has the tools to seal up magic.

When you try to handle magic, the principle is that the restraint sucks magic and diffuses it.

Now once in captivity, there is no escape for the vast majority.

Because the organism has resistance to being interfered with by its own magic, there are a number of other constraints on the person who is unwilling to resist, or who cannot be restrained unless he is unconscious, and I also doubt that it is strong enough to keep a warrior like Warrior, but nevertheless it was certain that these tools played an indispensable role in the maintenance of security in this world.

Unfortunately, apart from its original function, this type of demonic stone has to incorporate a mechanism to suck up magic, so it seems as if Rose has no hands on what is now too complicated.

Rose, they want to make a car in this world that uses magic as a power source, but that requires a mechanism to absorb magic from the atmosphere and as much durability as it can sustainably output. When I found it difficult with my current technology, I was soggy.

"I understand the circumstances. But why are you giving me this?

Kay asks.

There was something strange about my hands handling the bracelet, and I loosened my mouth.

"I heard the elf's position is weak when it comes to imperial territory. You won't have any trouble defending yourself when you're in trouble"

"Sure, the empire has a strong elf scorn, but it's okay because it's not on a level like being stoned all of a sudden, right? When it comes to Count Lawrence territory, there's nothing about the elves being oppressed... and I hear there's talk about that when it's the Macrolin Borderland Berg Territory to the north of it."

"Uh... was that" McLaurin the Elf Hate "?

Little by little, I'm studying this world.

According to classes held with Kay as a small teacher, there are Mitsuru houses in the southern part of the Empire that retain mighty power and strength and are formerly tightened by the surrounding nobles.

The Macrolin Border Uncle is one of them.

It's just tight, and the outer realm is vast. The map of the northern area of the Tree Sea, which I was shown before, depicted a larger picture of all five northern countries combined.

Although a small country, it also feels somewhat less firm that a single aristocratic territory is larger than a country, but if you ask me, the territory of an empire's great aristocracy seems to be almost like a country.

The emperor of the empire says, 'All you have to do is recognize him as the greatest nobleman with the most power, with the right history of origin, and with the cathedral church that worships the brave'. 'The last thing that matters. Conversely, as a church, if there is a problem with the current emperor, you can just replace his head'.

I hate the existence of a brave man, and I don't have any good feelings for the Church for that either, that's his way of looking at it, but I also think he's poking at the essence quite a bit.

It's the braves that matter.

This world is probably made that way.

From me from other worlds, I feel somewhat unnatural... I guess that's what this world looks like naturally.

In fact, the seizure of the emperor's throne by the great nobility, backed by the Church, also seems to have been in the past.

The nobles of the Elex Empire sometimes have great power over the royal family.

When it comes to the Macrolin Frontier Berg Territory, it's not just that the territory is vast. It has many mines where demonic stones can be mined and is very rich economically.

Besides, it is not bordered directly by the tree sea, so when the monster is relatively less damaged. The critique of "McLaurin the Elf Hate" may have been that the landscape of "a strong southern part of the Elf Contempt but not requiring its power" manifested itself in its treatment of the Elf.

"From the Macrolin Frontier Uncle Territory, soldiers are sent mainly to Fort Ebenus. So I won't bother going that far this time either. It's okay."

"No. Still, are you sure there aren't many beings who can help you when something happens? Then it shouldn't hurt to have it. Thank you so much for your help, think of it as a thank you, and get it."

He realized I wasn't going to pull it off. Kay looked in trouble.

Mr. Kato slapped both shoulders of such a girl from the urchin.

"Isn't that nice? Seniors are worried about Kay."

"... I think it's a little worrying"

"Hehe. Right."

Kato smiles when he sees Kay holding a bracelet in his chest and lowering his eyebrows.

When I saw her like that, I frowned small.

"What are you talking about like some other HR?

"Huh?"

"Kato has his share."

According to my gaze, Rose offers a bracelet. Mr. Kato circled his eyes.

"In the meantime, I just got you a knife."

"I told Kay earlier, he won't have any trouble with how much means he has to defend himself"

I hadn't forgotten that it was a pioneering village.

He says he doesn't care about the trinity that came to apologize because it seems silly to bother to make the relationship worse. But so much so that I don't have to trust them as much as I do without taking measures.

"But..."

"Get it for you, Kato."

Lily blocked Kato from saying anything.

"Kato is right, because your husband is really worried. Hey?"

"... just prudent"

I frowned at Lily as she hugged me from her back and followed me on her cheek.

Ugh, and Lily laughing. The lighting was probably off.

The journey continues.

We stopped at the pioneering village, asked about the current situation in the village and occasionally took a break, but basically headed straight north.

Along the way, he also joined forces of the army that were about to come towards Fort Chile.

Nearly half a day, the line was to hold my legs.

I never met them in person, but I heard from the captain later that they were about twenty troops.

I was concerned that the captain looked serious, but sometimes I had to resume the journey, and busy she quickly went away.

I should have asked for backup, but twenty people halfway there. The fact that a few of them came may not have received the liaison officer's information as serious.

For example, it would still make sense for the head of the regiment, who was in a responsible position at Fort Chile, to go to Serratta in this way and give a direct explanation.

Eventually we entered a vast meadow zone.

In this area, where the Count Lawrence territory is also close to the centre, grazing is carried out.

I saw a grass-eating cow and a cattle keeper.

The cattle breeders were acting in groups, and no matter where they came from, it was only the appearance of a formidable mercenary regiment.

In this world of monsters traveling, cattle breeders in the southern part of the empire seem to be famous as armed groups.

Living in meadows without belonging to rural or urban areas, they are exposed to prejudice in a different sense than elves.

However, that may also be an inexorable thing. In my eyes too, they seemed to live their own world and time.

I guess people who spend their whole lives in the villages and towns where they were born will also see their presence as creepy. This isn't about good or bad anymore, it's just about that.

In a way, we may be in a similar position to the metastasizers.

Because the unconditional look of respect doesn't change one of the prejudices.

One day, I saw a far-sighted number of fish flocks.

Yes, it's a fish. Fish in the dirt. Naturally, it's a monster.

His name is Trip Drill. It's a fish-shaped monster roaming the ground.

Flash-colored small rhinoceros tuna swarmed and flew through the universe with a chest fin that developed as if it were a sea level.

"That's the monster of mobility."

When I snapped, Kay answered with his face on your stand.

"Trip Drill is a monster who travels for the largest of the remaining tree seas, the 'Coma Forest' in the north. They say there's a spawning place there."

The humans of this world have secured their survival zone by defeating monsters that threaten their lives and cutting open the tree sea. But in some cases, you may give up a powerful monster crusade.

If that was not a monster of mobility, but a monster of sedentarity, it would not be possible to develop the surrounding area and part of the tree sea would remain intact. That was the place called the 'Coma Forest,'

"Trip Drill travels north on its own route for each flock. Villages and towns are built to take their path off. Because as long as the route is off, it's basically okay"

"Basically?

"Because part of the herd goes off the route and, usually, there will be less damage. But the bigger problem is that another monster that preys on Trip Drill spreads the same route northwards."

With all that much, anything that sheds the herd from individual differences will also appear pompous.

They say there are quite a few more powerful monsters overflowing from the tree sea each year, eating those small herds and them that have become individual units.

"By the way, the whole Trip Drill thing is weaker on the surface, but the herd is untouchable, so it's treated like a disaster"

"That's not the number..."

Even where we hit the Great Magic of the Fifth Staircase, only part of the herd would be able to blow it.

Of course, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm swallowed up.

We waited a day for Trip Drill's flock to leave.

It was three days after that that that we arrived at Serratta, our destination.
