somehow.....
"Was there such a place?" The castle...? "
Tsavis's house was big, but Ronnie's "house" was even bigger. It's quite spacious. There was a lot more.
"I told you, you're a royal family."
"Haha. You're surprised? It feels good to live in, and even if you have a lot of money in it, you can sit down. Well, I'm going to relax appropriately."
Guided by Ronnie, we arrived at the large living room. Oh, no. Is that a guest room? It's bigger than the inn I slept in...
You're here, aren't you?
Oitma.
Bandages are wrapped all over the place.
I heard you were there.
"Fufu, I'm surprised you look so well." I'm confident that I can heal my wounds. "
"I've tasted the wounds and the exhaustion in hell and hell."
Not to mention the forbidden forest floor and the Knights.
I was laughing and wondering if Quena was also thinking about it.
"It's a Jewish woman. Will you just leave me alone for a second?"
Me?
Quena pointed to herself unexpectedly when she was nominated.
However, when I saw Otoma, who had a serious expression, I shrugged my shoulders and then stood up. Quenna leaves the room and Otoma breaks down.
"Hmm, you didn't mean to beat me."
"... oh"
"Don't be alarmed, we're not going to take anything and eat it."
It tells me what's impossible.
I had to be vigilant until I heard why we were keeping Quena away. Even if it started to be accepted, it doesn't make any difference that this is a foreign land.
"Oh, don't worry. I told my servant to keep Ronnie away from me for a while."
I don't feel the need to worry about anything at the moment, but it seems to have gone ahead.
Then Otoma unfolded her magic. No hostility. It's for soundproofing.
"Now, where are we going to talk about this?" That's right, I told you before, I like you. "
Huh?
Cover your butt with your hand in the crotch.
But Otma sighs. It feels like I'm overwhelmed.
"I don't have your hobbies, don't worry."
"Oh, thank goodness."
Seriously, I'm relieved.
"I like it, it means I like it. The Beastman has always liked the stronger one. Even the heroes who were once hostile."
"I'm listening to that."
"Well, let's talk about that as a prerequisite." Perhaps you will be killed soon. "
"... what about you?"
Are you going to kill me?
To who?
I can't stop wondering.
"That sounds strange. That must be true, too. Now, why do you think that is?"
"Hatred...?"
"Sure. Enough motive." But no, you're going to be killed because you're too strong. "
No hesitation in the conversation.
You don't seem to owe me a favor.
I'm just trying to convey it purely.
It's too strong, isn't it?
"What if you're the man who wants to rule the world?"
"No, that's... dangerous."
“That's right, this is just an extreme example. However, it is also an absolute law. No matter how much the world denies it, it will not change that it is a weak predator."
The flesh that you are eating casually has taken your life. The monster crusade that I was casually asking for was also meant to expand the human survival zone. It's all about strength.
I understand that.
But that's why they kill me.
"Because it's dangerous." The human race is weaker than the human race. There were few Beastmen and Demons, but they were strong. If so. What if the human individual gets stronger? What if there were more Beastmen? The faction chart is going to change a lot. "
So the demons are trying to kill me?
"No, we were talking about race units." But the essence is finer. One nation, one organization, one individual. ”
……
“A lot of people think you're a nuisance.”
I'm not kidding.
Otma is telling the truth.
You think I'm gonna get killed, and you're telling me that.
Then who?
I don't know.
“How's it going?
where it matters.....
No, you would have told me directly if you knew. This is just a piece of advice.
"In the first place, this is just my guess."
It was a laugh with a sense of inclusiveness.
But there's some kind of justification for telling me this on purpose, isn't there?
That's right. The death rate of the strongest individual among the human race and the strongest demon king out of the group.
"That's war, isn't it?"
"Why... have you been fighting all this time?"
Isn't that because the demons invade?
"Over and over again. Uninterrupted?"
I've always wondered about Otoma's question.
The demons were so stupid.
No, it's not. It's true that I had intelligence. The monsters and the demons were not the same.
I mean, what does Oitma want to say?
"Isn't someone forcing you to fight?" No, the word coercion is different. Yes, it's being manipulated. "
"How? If it's that strong, how can you deal with magic?"
"No, not just magic." If you want to be a beastman and a great warrior, there are a lot of people who don't want to die. "
"Fame, right? So is wealth."
When I say it, Oitma nods to the right answer.
"Yeah, the creatures don't run out of greed." Those who have a sense of crisis with the powerful will be in the upper echelons. You could even manipulate those things. Even if you were chosen as a brave person this time, I can't help but feel something artificial. "
And then Oitma tells me.
"You're squeezing it, aren't you?" There will be as many suspicious people in your class as there are people close to you. ”
Otoma was prone to be reluctant.
It would be an insult to the people around me if I made a mistake.
But I know he's worried about me, so I'm not angry.
"The suspicious one..."
How about the Guildmaster?
"Ri-riff? No, it's impossible. He cooperated in many ways. And he saved me."
"Isn't that just a delusion that's convenient for you?" The guild is a very convenient organization. The rank system collects both fame and wealth. If the target shows up, you'll be in good shape... right? "
……
"Besides, the red-haired people next to you are the same." Are you sure it's enough to believe? Isn't it the Guildmaster's offer? "
If you think about it that way.
Quena's diagram wasn't just a riff. Even Ruina is connected.
If Quenna were an enemy.....
"Oitma, let's not do this anymore."
Make the best of your smile.
Still, I don't know what that expression looks like.
But there was only one thing I could tell for sure.
Quena is no match for the enemy.
"... I see. I'll just say one thing." We have nothing to do with it. Believe it or not, you're free, but if you're in any trouble, stop by the Beastmen. Everyone seems to like you. ”
"Oh, thank you."
I'm not even sure if Otma's story is true.
I don't want to imitate you with suspicion. But I can't stop talking about Otoma. There is plenty of room for that.
I hated being stuck in one corner of my head... a bit.
Then I received the Holy Sword, and Quenna and I were on our way home. It's not the guild's nap room. Go to the land of the Humans.
You're leaving already.
Quena says as she piles up her luggage on the carriage.
"Oh, I want to return the Holy Sword to Sufi." I want to travel because I'm in Beastman territory after all.
"That's not all." There's still a lot of people out there who hate Zeds. "
"That's right..."
You don't like me, do you?
Could it be because I didn't become a hero again?
Are you agitated?
Are you trying to impress the people?
What's wrong?
Quenna peered into my face.
A little bit more.
I don't want to think like this, but the intention of one corner of my head is to sit in the middle of it with dignity.
"It's nothing. I just like Quena, that's all."
"Eh...!"
Oh, no.
It was hard to explain the situation, so I tried to deceive her appropriately.
I confessed to something outrageous.
"N-that's... ah, thank you..."
"No... you know what?"
Shake Quena's hand.
Too many things are piling up and my heart is exploding.
"I'm serious about Quenna--"
"Wait a minute."
Quena, who understood the continuation of my words, stops me.
"Shi, what do you think of Sheila?"
"...... I like it"
"............ y-yeah"
Somewhat complicated face.
”The kingdom of Kuzela... is monogamous”
"Ugh..."
Quena's words pierced her chest.
No, that's enough.
All right, all right. I can't choose. I'll give up. I'll also cut Zuko. That's good.
Quena grabbed her hand as she ran alone.
"The Waila Empire is polygamous..." If it's for Zed... I can... go back to that country. "
The squeezed voice was so cute.
The carriage of the day was very late.
