Monster no Goshujin-sama

28

- Kudo offered to help, just after that.

Once I came up with going back to where the Roses were, it was when I heard Kudo say, 'You just have to get on a Berta and move around'.

Originally, I was going to chase Jun Takaya with my own feet.

If you can ride a belta with faster legs and more strength than I do, your travel time will be greatly reduced.

In the meantime, there was a monster about Kudo letting him get ahead as a chaser.

What Iino said was that Takaya wasn't that strong on the expedition, and he should have been able to at least hold back.

Exactly. It took too long to get to where the Silans were waiting and come back, and although there was a risk that the pass would run out if we were too far away, we could afford to go back to where we left the Roses.

For once I decided to turn back the way I came.

... Of course, one thing that stuffs me was being prepared.

When I showed up on the Berta, it turned out that Iino was furious.

"What do you mean?!?

Iino, who comes stuck, is injured in the leg, and the movement is dull without a shadow to see.

But I dared not flee from her, who stood on her knees and leaned over.

They grab the chest barn, they attract them and they kneel.

Pretty hard to breathe. That's having cheats for combat. My arm strength was not comparable to mine.

"Your husband......"

I looked at Rose, who sat down and was hugged on Kato's lap, and reached for the axe in a dew while only his upper body appeared.

Asalina, who jumped out of the back of her left hand, was about to bite into Iino's ear, so I suppress this too.

Again, I turned to Iino.

Listen to me, Iino.

"Well, how are you going to explain that?"

An intense glance turned back on me.

"I knew you, Kudo and I were bonding together."

……

Well, it was a situation I couldn't help but be mistaken.

By the way, Kudo hasn't brought us here.

What would happen if he looked at Iino, because it was more obvious than seeing the fire.

When I borrowed Berta and Zeezer, and then a few Anton's splits, I broke up with him on that occasion.

Nevertheless, from Lewis, who said he was a subordinate of the Macrolin border uncle, he had also heard about the double-headed wolf who attacked Fort Chile, and at a glance it seemed to have been discovered that Berta was a member of Kudo's family.

Most importantly, I didn't intend to hide it from the beginning, and this was an expected development.

In a way, it's quick to talk. I decided to think positively and I moved on.

"Just listen. I don't know if you think so, but don't make an early point. Kudo only has a hand to help Lily."

"You can't believe it!

"I guess. But it's true. That's why I'm back here."

"... what is it. What do you mean?"

Did I feel anything suspicious when I was stuck and didn't show any upset?

I told Iino, who looked somewhat alarmed and surprised.

"Frankly. Iino, I want you to help me."

"Huh!?

Iino gave a barbaric voice.

Afterwards, you must have been surprised. Rounded eyes gradually turn into half-eyes.

"Hey, hey. Are you insane?

The look and voice of Iino doubted my head half the time.

Of course, this one didn't come back to this place because of Dada or insanity.

"Oh. I mean it."

"I asked if I was sane. But, you know what? If that's what you're really saying, maybe you're insane after all."

"You'd be terrible to say. What makes you think that?

"Why, it's not natural. You think I'm gonna help you?

"No way."

I shrugged my shoulders.

"Of course, I don't think so. I'm supposed to have a hand in Kudo, but you're not like him. I have no right to help. [M] That's all I know."

As I say, grab Iino's wrist, which grabs his chest, and grab it back here.

Iino's shoulder jumped.

"What you don't understand, Iino, is you. I'm not crying for help."

"... I don't know why. What are you trying to say?

Iino, who showed slight fright, wrinkled between his eyebrows, showing defeat shortly afterwards.

"In the first place, cooperation, what are you going to do?

"I don't know what you're going to make me do... That's a little poorly heard. I'm just here to make you one suggestion."

"Suggestions…?

I nodded at Iino, who looked surprised.

"Oh. I want Iino to fight with me."

Iino's eyes opened wide.

"For you, too, this shouldn't be a bad story. 'Are you going to kill each other to get back something monster', you, you said. You don't want us killing each other, do you? Then you can do something for yourself. Didn't I?"

"Wait a minute, Mashima!

Iino raised a hurried voice.

You want me to stop your killing each other?

"You've never been over it, have you?

"Ya, sure, I wish I could do that, but now I..."

Iino once looked down at his feet.

Bandages are wrapped around the left foot and the right ankle is fixed.

I nodded to Iino, who turned his gaze back on me.

"Right. You're losing your bragging leg. So here we are, smoking like hell."

"Oh, yeah."

"But, Iino. Things are changing now."

I threw my gaze at the double-headed wolf who brought me this far.

"If you get in Berta, you can still fight, right?

"To him...?

Iino also turns his gaze to Berta.

After a few seconds, she was much more breathtaking, turning over here.

"So you can get on the back of the monster that attacked Fort Chile on me!?

"You don't like that? Then you just have to stay nagging at nothing here."

"Ugh... well, that's"

I folded my mouth into rice noodles.

"If you fight, no one may die. If you don't fight, someone will die for sure. Think about it and decide what to do."

Iino groaned without a voice.

"No... No, it's not right."

The protest was somewhat weak.

"This, my life...... yeah. I can't believe you're imitating" taking even the lives of your enemies hostage. "

"It's up to you how you take it."

I shrugged my shoulders.

"However, as I said earlier, this shouldn't be a bad story for you"

"Yes, but..."

I'm not forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to do by adding it to Iino's weakness.

Either that or it was closer to the truth that she was giving advice on what she wanted to do.

He also knows where Iino is.

Yet I don't reply colourfully... unfortunately, I guess it's because of this me who suggested it.

Life is a roundabout, but in that sense, we met too badly.

When Iino chewed his lips, he must have stared at me.

"... I'll tell you what, if you try to kill Takaya, I'll turn to the enemy soon, okay?

"You mean if you betray me, you won't understand? Then don't worry. As for me, I don't care what happens to Takaya after Lily returns."

"You're light. Are you gonna tell me you don't think anything about that kid?

It was a tone that conveyed suspicion as usual.

If you try Iino, my words and actions are suspicious and unreadable.

Most importantly, there is a big misunderstanding at the root.

I turned back my words half-eyed.

"Who said anything about it? That can't be true."

"... Huh?

Iino showed how he had eaten.

"What are you surprised about? I'm a human being. If I get angry, I resent you. It would be natural. I may have forgotten, but I'm telling you, I was beaten up by you because I have it right in my roots, right?

"Ugh... so, but if so, why...?

"No, it's easy."

I waved for the first time.

"It's a hundred times more important to me to get Lily back."

Even with the current power, if it's just a battle of Warrior opponents, it'll go as far as a good line depending on the assembly of tactics.

If we do it well, we might be able to take it down.

But that involves Lily's recapture.

I would like to attach 'Weiwaten' cooperation more than I know what it is.

I wasn't weak enough to afford what the evil roots were saying.

And because I thought there might be something I could say to Iino, I was here right now.

"I'm not going to lose sight of what's important to me.... Iino, how about you?

I dropped the question to Iino, who looked up at me.

"Huh? Wah, I...?

He didn't think he'd be asked here.

Looking down at the confused Iino, I nodded.

"What do you want? Just think about it and give me an answer."

I didn't mean to overlap words any more.

As I was saying, I came here to make a suggestion.

I just ran out of words, and in the end, it's Iino who decides.

What is important to me?

The rest was for her to decide.

"I..."

Iino was grabbing my chest. Let go of my hand.

Its eyes lay down, as if to explore into its own breasts.

That's how the time she was thinking was just a short one.

"... I do not want Takaya to die, nor do I want him to kill me"

Iino looked up, crushing to be sure.

That's a cheeky face. He had strong willed eyes.

Weird story, but for the first time then, I felt like I had eyes for Iino.

"I will not let anyone kill me. I'm the same person who can't give up."

Holding his hand in front of his chest for a long time, Iino said in a resolute voice.

"Okay, Mashima. Let's join hands."

"That's settled."

I'm here to help Lily.

Iino is here to collect Takaya.

We have different purposes for each other, and we have never been one of them, but if the journey is the same, we can hold hands together.

The joint front was established.

"Well, then, let's have a meeting."

"Yeah."

Quickly, I cut it out.

Nor does Iino seem to be different, and he snorts honestly.

"Ah.... hey. Mashima."

But, fu, doubts lingered in her face.

"Before that, just one thing. Okay?"

There's not much more to talking about here than having a fighting relationship.

Nevertheless, do you remain anxious to challenge Takaya while leaving a hook?

"You can tell me if you want to. But it'll help if you keep it short."

"Yeah, okay"

Iino admitted, opening his mouth.

"You know, you came here because you thought I'd shake my neck vertically on your proposal."

"'That's not the only reason I'm back here'... well, I'm pretty sure you were stepping on a suggestion"

"How could you be so sure?

Unlike earlier, it was a tone that seemed purely strange, free of hostility and suspicion.

That may be why the words of the doubt poked my surprise.

"Uh... it"

"What's that?

I scratched my head in front of Iino tilting my neck.

If I'm serious, I don't want to say much.

Nevertheless, if you have something to say, I gave you permission to say it.

Not answering here would be dishonest.

After a great sigh, I answered.

"You're absolutely right that nobody wants to die."

……

"You can't betray that thought. I just thought so."

After all, Yuna Iino is a man of good will, a chunk of justice.

You are so popular that you rush to such a despicable place in return for nothing.

That the personality is of goodness, that's all, there's no question.

That's why I brought her into this fight.

"There's a lot missing, but you're the right person. So, what happened to me..."

I frowned.

"Huh. No, because"

Iino had his pale dyed cheeks pinched with both hands.

More and more, my face became bitter, but I don't realize Iino.

"And all of a sudden, when you say that, you mean you can light it up a bit? Didn't you hate me?

"I hate it though."

"... to?

I'm telling you, I'm not complimenting you.

Iino was pompous.

"There are a lot of things missing, but I also told you. Just in time, let me tell you what I want to say, but you need to think and act a little more. You idiot."

"Bullshit, I said stupid!?

"You wouldn't know if I didn't tell you, you are. Even though, nobody can keep up with your speed. Sometimes stop and think about it. Fool."

"I said it twice!?

Iino seemed terribly out-of-heart, but on the contrary, I was kind of neat, thanks to saying all I wanted to say.

After all, before the important phase, it seems better not to leave a hook.

He was heard from the side as he snorted inside, listening from the right to the left to what Iino was protesting about.

"Um... sorry, seniors"

"Mm-hmm. What's up, Kato?"

Kato, who sat down to support Rose's upper body, glanced at Iino for a moment before glancing at me.

"I'm sorry I was talking to you."

"I don't mind. We already said what we wanted to say to each other."

"I still have something to say..."

I will silence you about Iino, who raised a protest.

I urged Kato to go ahead.

"So, what?

"What is it about Mr. Lily's recapture, uh..."

"Oh. I have to assemble the operation."

I nodded at Kato, who cut out a little reluctantly.

"Will you consult me, Kato?"

When I asked for it, Kato looked just a little surprised.

But soon she laughed happily.

"Oh, yes! Absolutely."

"Thanks, that helps"

"Huh? Hey, Mashima. You're gonna talk to this kid?

It was Iino who raised the question.

I give her a glimpse.

"As you asked, I'm going to... but I told you I'm not back here just to 'bring you a fight'. If you're the only person on this scene, it's still hard to get Lily back and secure the stature of the tall house. We need Kato's help."

"You trust me a lot.... No way, this kid could be a monster, right?

"I know what you're trying to say, but no. Kato is indisputably human. I'm pretty sure I'm counting on you as much as Lily and the others."

"Seniors..."

Mr. Kato took a small breath.

My cheeks are upbeat and my eyes pointed at this one are a little warm and moist.

It's a little rough, but he's happy for me.

I spoke to Iino while I was glad of her reaction.

"Guarantee also the ability aspect. But you do know that Iino is wearing this, right?

"... sort of"

Iino rubbed his own foot injured.

"That's why I'm a little anxious..."

He looked a little nasty.

Looking sideways at Iino like that, Kato snaps softly.

"... only Mr. Iino can prevent Takaya-kun's earthly magic from fronting, and you can use her as a shield to penetrate, right?"

"What are you going to let me do!?

"It's a joke."

Kato said softly and shook his blanket.

"Well, I don't think the idea itself seems bad, but it's a waste, isn't it? After all, the power of Mr. Iino, who can lower Takaya, is a card that should be cut here."

"I'm an ant for the idea.... Hey, Mashima. Are you sure you're okay?"

I shrugged my shoulders silently.

If you say you need Mr. Kato, as far as I'm concerned, I'm not hesitant to decide on Operation Weiwaten's Shield, but it would be kind of you not to say that.

Then we all shared the information.

Confirmation of the current strength of my wounded families.

A grasp of the abilities of the family members of Kudo, who are reinforcements.

And a reflection on the adversary, Jun Takaya.

Based on them, assemble the operation quickly.

The general operation was discussed with me and Kato.

In the end, "Weiwaten's Shield" could have been the only thing I had to do without using was feel like stroking my chest down as an Iino.

Then we all immediately chased Jun Takaya.

Fortunately, we could catch up before he left the Kittles Mountains.

Nevertheless, we can't set it up right away.

I had to wait until Gerbera or Anton's split was in position.

I took a long enough distance not to be noticed by the highhouse where I was taking a break, and I had a good time.

"... the gesture of the king who had preceded him apparently failed the raid"

While I waited that way, Pompous and Berta gave me a report.

"Unfortunately, Takaya doesn't have any injuries."

"You know what I mean? I can't see Takaya from here."

"... under the wind."

He sniffed it with a real wolf sense of smell, which would be sharper than what Lily acquired by the pseudo.

There were roughly thirty monsters Kudo was letting ahead of him.

If Kudo was right, if he succeeded in the ambush, he meant he was strong enough to kill Jun Takaya.

If I opened the lid, I wouldn't have let him get hurt either...

Did the raid fail in the nearest worst way?

Or maybe Kudo's prospects for Warrior's power were sweet.

"... smells like dark blood"

Berta snapped.

"There seems to be no survival in the family of the king who preceded him."

"Berta......"

"Never mind, another king. We don't have companionship."

One of Berta's twins turned to me.

Indeed, from the way Park spoke, I could not feel anything like an emotion for my companion's death.

"That's a willless pawn. I can't have a sense of companionship. And... whether there is will or not, I will not be equal to being our king's pawn"

My tail swings loosely.

"It's a royal fate. Don't hesitate to crush it."

"... Hey, Mashima. I can't hear you."

Iino flashed his face across Berta's back.

Only she, who was injured in the leg, remained on Berta's back while waiting this way.

"I'm waving my tail at my owner even if I'm abused, I feel like I'm watching my pet"

"You like dogs?

"Sort of. I had a lot of friends' houses, so I used to let them go play. She might be pretty if she saw Berta."

"... Hey, woman"

Berta turned her face up and glanced at Iino.

"What's a pet?

Unexpectedly, he was intrigued by this conversation.

While Iino was answering Berta's question, I talked to Kato and Rose, who were nearby, again about what they would do.

By the way, we both made it this far in synergy with Berta, but we weren't planning on participating in the fight.

It was a big deal that I brought you this far too, just in case it was dangerous to leave two people without combat skills on that spot.

In doing so, time passed.

When the whole of Anton's split came back, he told me he was ready.

"Your husband. Good luck."

I was dropped off by Rose's words and started moving across Berta.

If you help Lily at all costs, burn your thoughts strongly in your heart...

- And now.

Our trump card destroyed Takaya Jun.

"I'm sorry, Takaya. I'm not letting anyone die here."

What Iino said was the word of an oath.

I won't let Jun Takaya die. He won't let me kill him.

That's why I came here, it was a declaration.

Lifting the tip of the sword, Iino lowered it.

The movement was terribly slow and seemed to overwhelm the weight of red life attached to the cutting edge.

A monster would have slashed dozens of them, but the fact that they're human was probably their first experience.

Acts such as beating and kicking are on mere prolongation of the fight, whereas letting others bleed with blades is not the same vid that accompanies the act.

Psychological resistance is huge, and the type like Iino would be even worse.

But I didn't have to beat him up to get the highhouse now.

Supporting Iino's body from the urchin, I watched Jun Takaya poking his knee on the ground.

The laceration engraved on his right chest is deep.

There's a lot of blood on the ground. There's a whole lot of it.

Though not fatally wounded, it is impossible to continue the fight.

In the first place, if it's normal Warrior, it's not surprising that it's over at the point where he's been crushed in the right arm by Garbera's attack.

Cutting through there was nothing more than what his obsession could do.

If I hadn't installed Iino's cooperation, I might have ended up with the meat chunks I pulled.

It was really just a battle.

I let go of my hand from the supporting Iino.

Set aside the sitting Iino and stand up.

"... Lily"

Lily rolled to the ground and was groaning.

When the tall house was slaughtered, Lily, who was being held, was thrown to the hard ground.

I don't know what kind of shock it would normally be, but he's losing his physical ability with the 'Sinister's Tie Chain' that binds his whole body.

We have to let him go fast.

So that I may be pushed out of my way, and I will take a step.

"... me"

It was then.

Lily made a squeezing voice.

"... so, meh"

"Huh?"

With a step forward, I stiffened my body.

I didn't understand what they said.

However, an ominous hunch tied my body up.

A desperate Lily's voice slaps her ear.

"Not yet... over, not yet... Huh!

... It's not over?

What is it?

And I thought something cold ran on my spine.

"Gu, giggle"

That's a creepy voice.

A series of sounds that don't make sense.

"Gi, gi, gi..."

The source of this was a tall house that shouldn't be able to fight anymore.

He leaned down, shuddering as if he had strangled him.

"but gi, gi, gi..."

My left hand grabbed my head so that my thick blood vessels covered the raised temples.

The protruding toe chooses the skin. Even that pain, Takaya didn't seem to feel it.

"Gu, gu, gu, gu, gu, gu... gu!

The high house shouted to the earth with a voice that did not seem to belong to man.

Was that scream, which lacked reason, a calling water?

From that body, a tremendous amount of magic erupted.

The magic turns into a darker, bloody light, covering the body of a boy wrapped around a haze.

It was as if Jun Takaya had been eaten by the light.

I will know shortly after this that it was a sense of purpose.

In just about a second the light went out.

Jun Takaya had also disappeared.

What was there instead was a single beast.

He's about two meters tall.

The whole body was covered with bristles, and the fur was burning red.

The face of ferocity itself is close to that of an ape.

The popping eyes are cloudy yellow.

From the oral cavity, dissized fangs popped clutteringly up and down, drooling of sticky saliva.

The ugly beast man roared without any shards of reason as he deviated from his developed thoracic muscles.

My skin was cramped with tingling.

The compression that just crushed my gut was something I had never even experienced in that tree sea.

"Takaya...... huh?

It was the spilled groans of Iino that brought back to me my consciousness, which was suddenly self-inflicted.

"Takaya, are you?

If you look closely, the beast man was wrapped around the uniform of the hawk he was wearing.

It is difficult to tell because the fur is red, but there are deep wounds on the right chest and right arm, and there is still zero blood.

They're pretty sure that's Takaya.

But why.

No, isn't the phenomenon itself so unlikely?

In the former colony, among the two names of the expedition, there was a man capable of changing his appearance.

Jingushi Chiya, also known as "Dragon Man".

He had a cheat that woke up to his inherent ability to change into a dragon.

I hear he was able to turn himself into a giant, divine dragon.

As far as this appearance is concerned, should the pure ability of Takaya also be called 'madness beastification'?

Seeing as I didn't even show a bare gesture to activate my abilities up to this point, maybe the control is the type of ability I can't do with my own will.

In other words, if I am always active, emergency activated.

When faced with a crisis that can't be helped, you gain strength instead of losing your intelligence.

... Think about it, the fact that Takaya's clothes were almost as meagre was probably due to the enlargement of her body due to this' madness beast '.

If you had such a hidden ball, it would not be impossible for more than thirty monsters that Kudo had made ahead of you to be devastated.

We should have taken Kudo's phrase, 'If the raid worked, we might not even need to chase him' more seriously.

This was my mistake, hearing the words directly from him.

The reason Kudo's gesture, which he sent out in full, failed to leave a single scratch on the highhouse was not that he had struck badly in the raid, if not that Kudo was unexpected.

One way or another, I may have done too well.

As a result, the beast was to be withdrawn from Pure Takaya and destroyed.

And we stood on the same footing.

... but weird.

Jun Takaya doesn't have two names, he's just supposed to be Warrior.

At least, everyone recognized it that way.

That means he was supposed to behave as Warrior for about a month he spent in the colony.

It's also possible that he was hiding his abilities... but as a real problem, pure Takaya when Miho Mizushima was still alive, doesn't seem to have any reason to do that.

If so, it would be more natural to assume that we have acquired this ability later than the collapse of the colony.

Even I, Kudo, gained the ability to use monsters some time after the transfer.

There was no wonder that even those who had already gained strength as Warrior could gain their inherent abilities later.

Whether or not, as long as there's a corresponding cut, though.

Given the small number of intrinsically capable individuals themselves, I guess this is quite a rare case.

Same level of 'hanging up' as me and Kudo.

In the case of Takaya, that's probably finding out about the death of Miho Mizushima, a childhood friend.

And, for one thing, it can be convincing.

The power that we transferees acquire reflects our desires from the depths of our souls.

Because Jun Takaya wanted it.

Such an ugly beast.

I lost my intelligence, my self as a beast.

Killed a child tamer who tried to protect him with his life at stake.

I just want power.

As much as that, I hoped that I would not know anything.

Then this is the embodiment of pure despair in Takaya.

"GOOOOOOO!"

At the next moment, a thick arm, heavily wielded by an unintelligent beast, hung against me, was relentlessly swept away.
