◆ Black-haired Sage Chiyuki
The Kingdom of Veros is the northernmost nation in the human world.
Despite the fact that most of the kingdoms around here are poor, this Veros is the only one that thrives.
The double walls of Veros protect the human city, and the farmland and orchards.
In ordinary countries, the walls can't afford to create walls that protect agricultural land outside the walls, because they can't afford to protect dwellings.
Therefore, it is difficult to carry out agricultural work with peace of mind in this world with many monsters.
However, Veros has walls that protect agricultural land, so you can farm more safely than any other country.
That's what makes this country prosper.
Veros fruit wine, a specialty, is also so popular in the Republic of St. Lenaria that it is loved. That's why Veros is thriving again.
We are now at the royal palace in Veros.
Ordinary people may find it difficult to meet the king, but Reiji is the hero chosen by the goddess Reina.
Therefore, when I announced my visit, I was granted permission to visit.
We are taken to a room for visitors at the royal palace.
The furnished bench is packed with soft feathers and is very fluffy.
The maids of the royal palace bring me a drink.
The drink is Veros' fruit water.
Slightly sweet and sour fruit water is easy to drink over your throat.
We wait for the king while relaxing.
"After all, it took me a while to get here. Chiyuki."
Lino, lying on a bench, yawns to me.
"I see. Lino, you're really late."
I looked at Shirone while saying so.
Are you dissatisfied with the fact that Shirone is late? I am in a bad mood.
"I didn't think you'd get caught up in trouble in the kingdom of Zenther ~"
Nao turns a meaningful gaze toward Rage.
"I don't know what to do. I'm a brave man. If there are people in trouble, we have to help them, right?
Reiji said without a shudder.
"In Reggie's case, you're not the one in trouble, you're the one in trouble."
It sounds disgusting.
At the request of the Princess of the Kingdom of Zenther, who stopped by on our way to the Kingdom of Veros, we were to exterminate the monsters.
The monsters were easily defeated, but the beautiful princess asked me to stay in the kingdom of Zenther for a while.
We spent a few days in the kingdom of Zenther and were further delayed in coming to this country.
This made Shirone feel ill.
"That said, I was sure I was in trouble. Don't leave me alone."
That's what I said and I smiled.
This guy is... I hold my forehead.
I was about to complain. There is a voice that conveys the king's visit.
When he answers, the door opens, and Ecaras the king of the kingdom enters.
Were you fatter than before? However, what seems to be a good person has not changed.
And in the back is Queen Corfina.
This couple seemed to get along even when they came in the past.
That doesn't seem to change now.
"Welcome, brave men. It's been a long time."
"Long time no see. Dear brave man,"
Ecaras and Corfina thanked him.
"Long time no see. His Majesty King Ecaras."
"Long time no see. Queen Corfina."
Reggie and I thank you.
"Long time no see. Dark-haired wise man. By the way, why are the braves here? What can I do for you?
Ecaras asks us to sit in the chair provided in the guest room.
"Ah, that's the thing, but actually...."
Explain the silver witch in the sweet castle.
"Oh my God!! So the witch is responsible for the anomaly of the pale forest?!!
Ecaras shouted in surprise at my explanation.
"Weird in the Blue Forest?
"Yes, it seems that something is going on in the pale forest recently."
Eklas explains.
The first incident occurred two months ago.
The monsters who lived in the depths of the Azure Forest began to descend into the streets.
At first, he thought it was temporary.
However, the number of monsters appearing on the street is increasing and not decreasing.
Moreover, even the monsters of the insects, who had never seen them before, became visible, and Ecaras and the others realized that something was happening in the green forest.
A Ranger belonging to the Kingdom tried to explore, but it was too dangerous to get close.
The Ranger is an expert in outdoor activities, hunting in dangerous forests and collecting medicinal herbs.
They don't make a living fighting monsters, but they know the forest better than anyone.
The woods seem to be in danger if those ambushes don't get close.
"Well then, there's nothing I can do..."
"Yes, but I was anxious not to do anything, so I was just about to gather the Freedom Fighters, create an expedition and send them to the woods."
I nod as much as I can. I don't think I'm doing anything.
"I see... So you saw a lot of freedom fighters in the city."
In fact, by the time I arrived at the Royal Palace, I had seen more freedom fighters than before.
There will be freedom fighters in the kingdom of Veros, but not that many.
Probably the Freedom Fighters who came to this country for a huge reward.
I hate to say this, but Freedom Warriors are mercenaries in this world.
It is easier to do dangerous work than knights and soldiers who are citizens of their own country.
Besides, for now, the Knights are harder to move than there has been enough damage to the survival of this country.
That's why we're sending the Freedom Warrior.
Ecaras may be a good man, but he may make ruthless decisions for his own citizens.
"Yes, we've been gathering freedom fighters since about ten days ago. There are already about 3,000 people on the roster."
Eklas says happily.
Lino and Nao, who were listening beside her, shouted surprisingly.
Three thousand is a pretty big army in this world.
Whatever the republics of St. Lenaria and Ariadia, it will be difficult to gather that many people in this poor part of the country.
"That's a pretty big army... That's the kingdom of Veros."
"No, I was able to gather this many people because of the cooperation of the royals of other countries. Our country is not the only one adjacent to the Azure Forest...."
Apparently Ecaras has asked another country to announce the recruitment of fighters.
Other countries are also in the blue forest, and there is nothing unusual about HR.
That's why I think I helped Eklas.
"Well, other countries are also aware of the odds."
Eklas nods at my words.
"We have gathered so many warriors and Hero has come, so we will solve the problem soon."
Eklas laughs with joy.
"Oh, I'll take care of it."
Reggie spits out a line of spare time.
But I don't feel as free as usual.
Probably not confident. I've never seen such a rage before.
"Oh, that's the brave one. Reliable."
Eklas says pleasantly, "Don't you notice how Raj is?"
"That's right. You. How about a brave introduction to the Freedom Warriors?
Corfina, who had been silent until then, suggests.
I see. Hey, the Red Bear Palace must have come to the palace. Can you call me? "
Have Ecaras call someone from the Servant outside the room.
After a while, the door opens and a man and a woman come in.
A man is a man of a warrior style.
He is wearing a bear fur over his half-naked body.
Probably a beast warrior who believes in Thors, the god of war. A red tattoo is drawn on the upper body of the stripper.
The followers of Thors, the god of war, fight without wearing armor.
Nao says if he likes Tales warriors in the game class, it's Barbarian or Berserker.
And the woman in the back will be a warrior woman who believes in the goddess Amazona, daughter of Thors.
Why she thought so is because she wore a bikiniamer.
Amazonians wear bikinia for religious reasons. That is why the believer is easy to understand.
"Let me introduce you. He is Lord Arkas, commander of the Red Bear Warriors. And this is your daughter, Kalis."
Eklas introduces the two of you.
"I'm Alkas! My friends call me Red Bear! I've heard rumors of the Light Warrior! It's a pleasure to meet you!! Hahahahahaha!!!
The big boy, the red bear, laughs with a pleasant smile.
"Red Bear Hall is a famous warrior near here. I'm asking the Red Bear to lead the Warriors."
"Don't give me that compliment, King. That's right, I'll lose to the Light Warrior."
The red bear says it stinks.
Perhaps they have a delicate nerve for a large figure.
I see Kalis, the daughter of a red bear.
Pretty cute kid, unlike his father.
We look about the same age as Reno and Nao.
However, several visible wounds on her arm tell the story of her already proven career as a warrior.
With a little bit of habitual redhead in the back, the smooth, stretchy limbs seem very quick.
But I don't think I have enough volume in my chest. I only wear bikiniamer except for my arms, so it is a poor thing.
Karis is still looking at Shirone and laughing a little.
Does that smile seem a little inconsistent to you?
When I wonder, suddenly Kalis comes forward.
"Hey, you're the maiden of the sword, right? Will you work with me?
Kalis pointed at Shirone and said.
All of a sudden, we couldn't speak.
