I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Lesson 268 The Beasts of the Ghetto
However, as long as you can use magic to release water, it would be magic at the beginning. Magic power doesn't have to be a wizard, so as long as you remember magic, you should be able to supply it without any problems.
Anyone should be able to use magic. I knew Sati and Will could use it as a blessing, but it wasn't because they were ordinary people who had restrictions and could not use magic.
I sense magic. That's the only prerequisite for using magic.
It's hard to do that, isn't it?
This is what happens when you tell Ellie what you think as you look at the city dwellers raging in the water. We're often on standby because there aren't many patients left to treat.
Well, I don't know.
I've heard that it took Ellie's former party members years to learn recovery magic. Silver and Quick, a few of my friends, were struggling not to feel the magic. If you can use magic, you won't be devoured. With that in mind, I asked for training to feel my magic power, but I couldn't do anything in a short time, and there weren't many people who could use it even if it was useful.
There's a way.
One of the guards said to the elves.
Seriously? Elf magic?
It's not such a big thing, but the point is that you can just shed magic power directly on your body.
I thought so, but Ellie denied it.
Simply put, if you're not good enough, you're dead.
According to Ellie, magic could not be sent to others.
Directly, that's why the transfer of magic power between Masaru and Ann is a high level magic.
The miracle light of the magic system that can transfer magic power is at the highest level of 5. If it was fire magic, Meteo would be able to release it.
And when I tried to send in magic power directly, I rebelled against that person's magic power and the natural magic power that everyone had. Still, trying to force it to be sent would be terribly painful.
I heard that magical forces rebound and eventually destroy each other's bodies.
Although it is a kind of attack, the magic power is wasted by the amount that the magic power rebounds and offset each other, so the efficiency as an attack is terribly poor, and the range is zero. It's not worth considering as a method of attack, and it's not a way to use it. It seems that they think so, and people who know it as knowledge know it.
But is there a way for the Elves to avoid rebellion?
"I don't know the details either, but even the elves sometimes don't remember magic, and they seem to do it to such a child. I've heard stories about some kind of technology that sends magic power directly to the body.”
Although it is a vague story, it is good news. If the technology could be disseminated to the public.
If you're Lilia-sama, you might know more about it.
You must know more than yourself because you are educated as one of the royal heirs. That's what the elves say.
I heard that only about 10% of humans could use magic right now. If I could make it 20% or 30% without saying all of them. It would solve many problems, including water problems, and above all, it would be a great force against monsters.
There will be no more inhabitants surging in the water right now, and the water will be bad and the sick people will continue to emerge from the world. That means less work for me and Ann. Slow down.
Well then, we'll see you in the morning, so let's ask Lilia.
Would it be all right to invite the goddess to breakfast? No, I'm going to talk about the Shrine Maiden, and I don't think it would be good if I was here. It is still too early to tell you everything.
While chatting lightly, there was a commotion at the water supply site. Residents are yelling at each other, and security soldiers are intervening. Normally, I would leave it to the security guard, but I heard words that I had to ignore. It is an inflammatory and indispensable discriminatory remark against beasts in modern Japan.
"I'm gonna go check on you for a second."
The commotion broke out between humans and beasts. A Beastman was driven out of the line, and it seemed like a fight not only between them, but also between angry Beastmen and humans.
It was also a hiraghi settlement. The Beastmen were eliminated from the rows of cookouts. Even in the Empire, the Beastmen are racist. No, it's the Empire. The Elves were also persecuted. The Dwarves seemed to blend in well, but the Beastmen were naturally seen below the humans. It doesn't seem to change in a slum-like place.
Get the Beastmen out of the line!
That's what humans see in my words. The Beastman looked angry, but he could not defy the Guard Soldier, so he probably left the line. Not as many as humans, but still a number that can't be ignored. Is it about 10% or more and 20%? I think it will cause trouble if I keep it together.
This is where the Beastlings come from!
With that said, quickly install a new water tank a little further away, extend and connect the waterways, and tell the soldiers to guide the Beastmen here.
Beasts swarming in the water. Children, old people, girls. Why is this place like a leeches settlement? That's because the men were drafted.
"Hey, there's the boy. I'll feed you."
Remove the skewers and fried chicken from the item box. I only ask what I don't know.
The beast child holding the water bottle showed vigilance at my voice, but he looked at the food and approached me flutteringly. Well, there's security around me, so it's a bit of a mess.
You guys are good, too.
By calling out to the children who were watching from behind, the beast child came before the food to jump to it before it was too late. There aren't many of them, so I'll limit them to one per person and hand them over to the beastly children in a proper line.
"Do you want more? Really? I just wanted to ask you a few questions."
I heard that beasts born and raised here go out at a certain age. Most seek success as soldiers or adventurers, or earn money by risking their lives to support their families.
Only women and children and old people remained. Of course, it's not compulsory, and there's some work here, so some people seem to survive, but it almost feels like nothing. After all, humans are the first priority when it comes to a little work. As a result, it was in a similar situation to the forced conscription of the Hiragis settlement.
“What are you going to do with your money?”
We're not going to make it back here, are we?
"Buy land in the country and grow wheat!"
The first child to speak up seemed puzzled by my question, but other children answered it.
For example, merchants and craftsmen are not popular with beasts. It seems impossible for a merchant to be a beastman with a lower literacy rate than a human, and even in the field of architecture and craftsmanship, he works hard. You can't aspire to an army position or a knight position. Because it is a human state, a position created by humans. And before that, there is the reality that there are only adventurers or armies who are willing or barely willing to accept the inhabitants of the slums.
The Beastman has few options. I succeeded as an adventurer, and after retirement, I cultivated farmland and lived there in wealth. If you don't want to be a criminal, you really have to. Or maybe some beastmen have succeeded on other paths, but at least not here.
I think about it while looking at the child who is eating the skewer I got. Help. That's easy to say. However, the place to send it was along the dangerous boundary of the Hiragis. On top of that, women and children are full of old people. And what about the other inhabitants? Are you going to help the Beastmen and abandon the others? The situation is similar to that of the Hiraghis camp, and it is ineffective. There was help all over, and I just gave the Beastman extra help with the shortage. Here, however, there is probably no external assistance at all. You're going to save only the Beastmen in it?
I glanced at Sati, but she didn't show much emotion. Miriam and Syrah-chan were both beasts. Just ask me what I want to do... what do I do?
After all, it's up to me. The Beastmen naturally wanted to help. What's left to think about the advantages and disadvantages? But what about some disadvantages?
Are you full of useless old people and kids? So was Sati. That's true even for the eel geese. I want to help. I just thought I had no intention of doing that.
"I love beasts."
That's not what I say to anyone, I murmur. In the meantime, I'm a beast man. Humans have to think about each other again.
"I like you so much."
Ellie said as if she was stunned. Ellie didn't seem to object in particular. Sati gladly looked up at me. It seemed like I was just trying not to let it out. It's easy to do that if you help me here, but the timing is too bad anyway. I guess you thought you couldn't say a lot of new trouble with your hands all over the place.
It was definitely not the right time. But it didn't matter.
The colonists in the Beast Town didn't get along very well, did they?
Well, that's right.
But I wanted to take a group of old people with me. From Ellie's cutting through the town of Beast, I'm sure it's no use.
"The budget is enough for my pocket money." This is an investment in the future. "
In twenty years, the child will be a fine young man. If the old man can also move his body, he will be able to do only so much work. Ellie nodded in my words, still frowning and having a hard face. I'm probably thinking about allocating housing and farmland over there.
"Don't bother Ellie."
We must create a system that allows us to live permanently as residents. Work for the house, food for the day. One thousand or more at a time. The practice will be enormous.
“Very well, Masaru's right, there's nothing wrong with it.”
What is that about?
Yes, Aeon asked. In the kingdom of kami, I still didn't get a very detailed picture of the situation of the hydrangeas.
"Masaru says he's going to save the beast here."
Aeon-sama tilted his neck. I'm still working to save her. I tried to explain, but I saw Syrah-chan coming.
Lord, we don't have enough water. The lines are getting longer and longer. "
I see. Let's build more waterparks.
Answer the solution immediately.
"I'll do it." I wish I could solve anything so easily. ”
That's right, I nodded and wondered how many years it would take for me to properly solve what I was about to do. I stopped Syrah-chan trying to follow Ellie towards the water field and told her.
"Syrah, I'm going to take these beasts to the town of the Beast."
"That's... no, but..."
I don't think so. I was told that I was going to take them with me, so I carefully observed the group of Beastmen and thought about it.
How many?
"1,000 to 2000. Or maybe even more."
Is there room for the Beast to accept it? Yes. Or make it. There is plenty of farmland around the town, and even if you think about increasing farmland, you may be able to expand it a few times or even ten times more than you currently expect.
"It's not just the Imperial Capital." There are many beasts who are unhappy, aren't there? Perhaps we can start recruiting in the Empire and elsewhere. "
Gather the Beastmen from outside the Hiragis. There was no such thing, but it was only 10 days since the construction of the town of Beast itself began. The hopes of the colonists from within Hiragis are still unclear, and everything is in the process of being pierced. I just couldn't afford to think about it.
But it's dangerous.
That's right. But it's about whether the world ends or not. There is no safe place anywhere. I don't have time to think about the problem or put it off.
"The north of Hiragis is an important point. As long as you have the strength to fight. The point is to win."
I knew that monsters were coming. The Beastmen will defend us, and the Elves will support us. So if we're going to get through this, we don't want to be victorious.
I see. We can win.
"Yes, if we win, we'll solve everything."
I was concerned about the movement of the monster I heard about today, but it wouldn't be more troublesome. The rest of the battle to recapture Hiragisu was nothing but waste.
"That's a good land." The beastlings here will love it. "
Syrah-chan said with a refreshing expression. Locally, it's a good location along the Magic Realm, but it's also a satellite city in the capital of Hiragis. And it seems that the climate and climate are good only in the place chosen as the capital by the ancestors of Hiragis.
Take only those who have explained and understood the danger. I can reach out to save you. It's up to the people here to accept it.
Alright, let's solicit.
While saying that, one of the children who fed me earlier was still there, so I summoned her.
"I have a very good story to tell. Would you like to hear it?"
I talked to him confidently, but he didn't come too close to me because he was vigilant again. It seems like you can't get along just because you gave him food and talked to him a little bit. In a place like this, if you're not very vigilant, you might not be able to do it.
A guru who comes near me with a good story and is said to be untrustworthy in the favela. Yeah, it's out.
"If you want to talk, I'll listen to you."
Having said that, the old beast with his hips bent came forward.
"Oh, I'd rather be a talkative adult."
Some girls were old enough to talk to, but they were more alert than children. There is no sign of catching a small amount of food.
"I'll talk to you."
That's what Syrah-chan said, so I decided to leave it to you.
“I have a job, clean water and plenty of food. If you want, you can take the beasts with you."
"Oh, but an old man like me can't keep up with his work."
"Don't worry about that. I'll take care of one or two old people."
It won't do you any good?
"Never mind, I'll show you before I die." The land of the beastlings that we make. "
The land of the beastlings?
"Yes, a land ruled by beasts and inhabited by beasts."
But the old man didn't look impressed.
"I know you." I know who you are. Are you from the hyraghis? "
I nodded and continued to say to Syrah-chan.
"Hiragis suffered greatly. It will be a soul that will make up for the greatly reduced number of soldiers with the Beastmen."
“What's wrong with that? We must defend our country ourselves. What's the inconvenience?"
"I'm sure you're fooling me." Use the Beastman as a sharpshooter, and if you don't know what you're promising, you'll end up throwing him out like garbage. I won't say bad things. Quickly pull back from such a thing. You're going to regret it. "
Use it as a sharp soldier to crush. You're actually going to have to take the lead. Although it was a very sharp point, it had an elf attached to it. With enough magical support, we know that the loss of our front-line forces will be surprisingly contained.
I see. The old man struggled.
But what came out of Syrah-chan's mouth was not an elf, but such kind words. The look on the old man's face was distorted.
"Trouble? Trouble!" Don't let go of what the young man licked! "
There was no more soft-looking old man there. Giraghira's eyes are shone, and words of hatred are scattered.
"Fight and fight, fight and fight, what's left!?" All my family and all my friends are dead. Still, I threw away my sword. But what did you get? Nothing! We've lost everything! I don't need to fight anymore. If a beast that can't fight is worth nothing, I'll be kicked out with a lot of money! "
The surroundings calmed down by the old man's fierce words.
"And so will you." You don't deserve to believe in humans. I don't know why! "
The old man poked his finger and shot Syrah-chan.
"I don't know, old man. I'm sure I was lucky."
Syrah spoke quietly to the old man who snorted, saying that he was lucky.
"The village I was born in was very poor. Everyone lived in a secluded place where bastards could not get their crops. The human lord took most of the crops he had finally picked up. You know what I mean? Taxes are basically 30% in the kingdom. I didn't even know that."
But there are years of abundant harvest, and there are years of poor harvest. However, despite the lack of crops in that year, most of the crops that had been collected were taken away from me when I asked to pay the tax as usual.
"I was sold into slavery to be eaten by the villagers. Until that year, did you fight until you couldn't hold the sword, or did you sell it as a slave without even being able to hold the sword?"
"But you..."
Today, Syrah is dressed in fine gear and commands a lot of Beastmen.
"The adventurer who bought me is a very unusual person." He gave me a sword, trained me, and took me to Biels. "
Biels. The Holy Land of the Sword.
"That's where I learned the sword from the Sword Saint."
With that, he pulled out his sword from his waist and offered it to the heavens.
Oriharkon's sword?
The Oriharkon sword in Syrah-chan's hand. The sword, which was kept in the Imperial Treasury, had a distinctive golden glow and was an elaborate sword that anyone could see as a work of art.
"My name is Syrah." Hiragis is the Beast Territory, and the Reichsfuhrer General Syrah Yamanos. I swear by this sword. Fight, fight, fight, and take the land of the Beastman into your hands! "
"Such bullshit... I can't believe it..."
The old man who was barely standing barely dropped his knee.
"If humans are unbelievable, that's fine." Trust me. "
"And I believe it's too late for anything." This body that got the disease, it can't last long. "
Could it be because he was angry and screamed and forced to do it? The Old Beastman slipped into the spot with his breathlessness.
I'm sick. I came here to fix it. I feel like I've been going a long way. Chanting while thinking about such things.
Extra Heels
You have no idea what happened. Syrah-chan told the old beast who looked at Syrah-chan with a light breath.
"Now, old man, I'm not worried about sickness anymore. Come with me, and I will show you the land of the hyraghis, and the city of the Realm Beast."
"But, however, where the disease has been cured, this old man is traveling on his own...."
If it moves normally to Hiragis, it will be more than a month. If I could use a horse, would it be half? Indeed, the old man's legs make a difficult journey.
"Aeon-sama, can I ask you for your first treatment?" I'll be back as soon as I send these guys on a transfer. "
It's time to start treating the sick.
"The old man alone must be worried. If anyone wants to see the land of the Beastmen, do it now! You can take me by transfer magic!"
And to the beasts that are astray by the word of Syrah, the beastly soldiers that come from the hillocks round about say unto them,
There is a beautiful and splendid town. It's a town just for beasts. Reclamation is also going well, and anyone can own farmland. That's dangerous. But this is how we survived, and we won't lose. After all, Elves, Holy Maidens, and Heroes bless you!
Hey, Guru, are there really brave people?
Among the beasts who gathered for the transfer of hope, the child I fed leaned over and asked me such a thing.
Do you really have a brave man? Am I the brave one?
"I don't know. Can you tell me if you find it?"
With that said, I started chanting without waiting for the child to respond.
