Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

◆ Sword Maiden Shirone

The Bandor Plain is the largest plain in the eastern central continent.

The land is open like the Minnon plains, so there aren't many dark goblins.

Nevertheless, there has never been a human kingdom in the middle of the Bandor Plain.

This is because there was a large beast called Peruda in the center of the Bandor plain.

Peru has the head and tail of a snake, four legs, green skin on the turtle armor, long hair like lion's hyena on the body, and a poisonous thorn on the back, a vicious beast growing along the spine.

The Peruda blew out the flames, burned down the crops, attacked livestock, rioted in the river and caused flooding, making it impossible for people to live around it.

But Peru isn't here right now.

Because Reggie defeated you alone. [M]

Reiji's battle at that time was amazing. [M]

Even though I lost to Kuroki, I was a brave man of light.

I look at my feet thinking I can't lose either.

A giant pig lies at his feet.

This eight meter long pig was just knocked down by me.

"That's the sword maiden Shirone. I didn't know you were going to take down Pier alone."

One of the warriors who followed me praised me.

This big pig, called Pia, was ravaging the neighboring countries.

The range of activities was extensive and it was difficult to find, but I was able to defeat it today.

The warriors cheered.

They followed despite their tight feet and hands. It seems to them that I am a goddess.

I don't know why, but I gather these people.

They see me with sparkling eyes.

"Dear Shirone, Let us carry the pigs."

The warriors flock to the pigs.

I carried it faster, but it's a corner, so I'll have them carry it.

"Now, Master Shirone. Let's go back to the Kingdom of Eldo."

Nod to the words of one of the warriors.

The Kingdom of Eldo is the kingdom we created in the land after we defeated Peru.

Six months after we broke up with Croki in the Republic of Ariadia, we are building a new nation.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to go and help Kuroki, but Chiyuki has stopped me.

We can't let our people worry.

That's why I'm killing the Beast and disturbing him.

But maybe it's time to move.

Let's say that to Chiyuki next time.

I returned to the Kingdom of Eldo with that in mind.

◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki

The Kingdom of Eldo is a country less than a year old.

Originally, there was a beast in this land, Peruda, so no man lived there.

The defeat of Reggie made it possible for man to dwell in the land.

And we decided to build a country here.

There are many reasons, but the first reason is that we don't know when we can go back to the original world, so we all decided to build a hub of activity.

There is the Republic of St. Lenaria, but that country is for Lena. For that reason, you must refrain from Lena.

That's why we decided to build a country that exists for us.

The name of the country where it was made is Eldo.

It is still a small country.

However, this kingdom, located in the heart of the Bandor Plains, will eventually become one of the region's foremost powers.

We are now gathered in the conference room of the Eldo Royal Palace.

"Now, Mr. Chiyuki. Everyone gathered except Sahoko-san."

Look at me with the eyes Shirone expects.

Sahoko is not here because she can't attend the meeting. So we have to have a meeting with just the members here.

"I see. Shall we start the meeting?

Everyone nods when I say so.

Well then, Kaya. I need an explanation from you first. "

That way, Kaya reads out the documents in her hand.

Although there are many things to report, Kaya reads them out in haste.

Fiscal, security, and miscellaneous issues.

Some problems remain, but we don't seem to need to move.

I can leave it to my men.

Most of the subordinates are women who were raised while Kaya was in the Republic of St. Lenaria.

They are all excellent, and even if we don't give directions either way, they do things properly.

"... from the above, I think the operation of the Kingdom of Eldo is going well so far. However, as you grow older, you can have problems."

I nod well at the words.

I recall how hard it was to build a country from scratch.

For this reason, problems were piled up in the early days.

We are amateurs in urban planning. Sometimes it doesn't work.

And the biggest problem in nation-building was religious policy.

Unlike Japan, where secularism is the norm, society and religion are closely connected in this world.

Politics is the Audis and the Feria. Commercial industries are the Haybos.

Water and fisheries are the Triden community, sewage and agriculture are the Gena community.

The world moves because these communities are closely associated with society.

But I wanted to build a country without relying as much on the existing religious denominations as possible.

As a result, there was little cooperation from these communities, which was difficult in the early days.

However, it has calmed down now for six months.

That is because the people who worshipped us while we were in the Republic of St. Lenaria helped us.

In this country, we are worshipped like gods, including Reggie.

In a sense, the kingdom of Eldo was created by a religious group called Valiant.

Well then, can we assume that nation-building has also been completed? Kaya? "

Kaya nods when I ask.

"Probably, now it's easier to collect funds and information than before."

Everyone cheers.

Well then! It's time to head to Nargor!!

Shirone clapped his desk and raised his voice.

Except for Shirone, however, he is silent.

No wonder, the mightiest Reggie among us lost. With the exception of Shirone, you will be cautious about going to Nargor.

That's one of the reasons why we're nation-building without going to Nargor.

"But, Mr. Shirone. Mr. Shirone is very familiar with childhood. Mr Reggie was no match. Shouldn't we be careful here?

Lino says anxiously.

And next to me, Raiji said, "Ugh!!" moaning.

Apparently, I remember losing.

I usually pretend to be calm, but I'm clearly not recovering from the defeat.

Normally, it's great to take the initiative.

"Lino! Croki is not an enemy! The bad thing is that silver-haired kid!!

The customer's cheeks became swollen.

"Certainly Kuroki is a good person. You can't see enemies."

Kyoka synchronizes with Shirone.

I don't know what it is, but Kyoka highly appreciates the childhood habits of Shirone.

"But, Mr. Shirone. We're in Nargor, the enemy land, just like we're dealing with a silver witch. I can't just target her."

I shake my head.

"Mr. Chiyuki. Well, apparently, there's no silver witch in Nargol."

Everyone looks at Nao.

"What are you talking about? Nao?"

"That's it, senpai Reiji. I'll go and see what's going on near Nargor the other day."

"I went to see... Nao-san, do such a dangerous thing....."

It's dangerous to go there alone.

What is Nao doing when he told me not to do anything that dangerous?

"It's okay! It's okay! Chiyuki, you're not in Nargor! I was just close enough to see how things were going! I just found the sweet castle that Shirone-san was talking about in the blue forest on my way!!

Nao, who was about to be scolded by me, explained in a hurry.

Sweet Castle is the castle of the silver witch that Shirone talked about earlier.

It seems to be possible to move it by transporting it to Murmidon.

And the pale forest is a forest just south of the Akelon Mountains, the border with Nargor.

In other words, the confectionery castle is outside Nargor.

"What are you talking about? Nao-chan!!

Shirone crawled into Nao.

"I don't know any more. That's why it's so dangerous to get close... But I saw a silver witch girl from afar."

Everyone looks at the words.

"Maybe we should go and see how it goes...."

Everyone nodded at the words.

◆ Dark Knight Croki

The Azure Forest is a forest that stretches south of the Akelon Mountains.

The forest is wide and adjacent to several human countries.

The Kingdom of Argoa in the north and the Kingdom of Veros in the east.

Until recently, this forest was controlled by Kujig, an Auga witch.

But the whale is gone.

The forest was set on its way to the new queen.

Returning from Demon King Castle, I take a little walk through the woods.

"I don't know what to say... Is this forest not near the dark forest of Nargor?

Walking through the woods, you can see the monsters that inhabit Nargor.

When I looked at the monsters, I leaned my neck wondering if this would be good.

I move on.

Then the sweet fragrance becomes stronger.

The center of the pale forest. The peach mist is making my vision worse.

It is the sweet castle in the center of the pale forest that produces the mist.

Auga whales lured their prey with this sweet fragrance and preyed on it.

This fog is still occurring even now that Kujig is gone, and when Nargor had this castle, many orcs were captive to it.

Of course, there were complaints from the Oak Kings.

That is why it was necessary to take this castle out of Nargor.

Humans are less nose savvy than oaks, so it seems that no damage has been done so far. But I wonder if I should leave it like this.

Enter the sweet castle.

Then the soldiers of the Ant-Man (Murmidon) raised their spears and saluted.

When I say hello with my hands up, I pass by.

Continue up the sugar staircase to the castle lord's bedroom.

Meet some Golden Beetle Fighters on the way.

Gold Beetle Warrior (Gold Beetle Fighter) is a particularly powerful warrior among the insects that inhabit the Dark Forest.

It's about two meters long and looks like a golden beetle is standing upright.

Armed with weapons in each of their four arms, wrapped in an iron-like rigid exoskeleton, they are born strong warriors.

And Kuna's SS, who gained the ability to use insects.

"I'm home, Kuna. You want me to be a good boy?

When she entered the room, the queen of the new forest, Kuna, lay on the cotton pastry sofa.

"Welcome home, Croki."

When Kuna saw herself, she jumped up and hugged her.

"All right, have you changed, Kuna?

I stroked Kuna's head.

"Yeah, I haven't changed anything in particular, just..."

Kuna turned her neck in one direction of the room.

I look at you when I get caught.

The moment I saw it. I feel my expression solidify.

Because there was someone who wasn't supposed to be in this room.

"It's been a long time. My lord. Ufufufufu."

With that smile, a cold sweat flows to your spine.

"Er, why are you here?

"Hmm. I was going to leave this castle to him while Kuna was gone. They came."

"Ah... That's right...."

I manage to create a smile.

But if you look at it, you'll see it's pulling.

"Yes, I'll leave it to Datier while Master Kuna is gone."

That's how Goblin's queen Datier laughed.
