Arafoo Kenja no Isekai Seikatsu Nikki

After meeting with the Kurt, who has been assigned to guard the border at the Amphora Gate, General Gardoor returns to one of the squadrons where his troops are waiting, sitting in a chair with a sigh of exhaustion on his tired face.

"Thank you for your hard work, General..."

"I knew they were making an enemy out of me, but I didn't even know they were stupid enough to listen to me." I'm drowning my ambition in something that would be better if I thought about the current situation a little more..... "

“How long can we stay here?”

"I'm going to stand here tomorrow. It's just better if you can rest a little. They can't wait."

Does the General see the Beastmen moving so fast?

"The momentum is out there." If we drop this, our country will not be able to reach the plains. If some damage is done to the Carmel fortress, we can buy time, but we can't expect that. "

The first people to flee to the Amphora Gate are still here, and we must send them to safety. We're not in a safe zone anymore.

Either Kurkult doesn't understand the situation yet, or he wants to earn more, or he wants to prevent the invasion of the Beastmen by only the Guards at the Amphora Gate.

I will not stop fighting, but I think there are many people living at the Amphora Gate and we should let them escape before we fight, but I can't hope to do that as long as I see Kurt's greedy eyes.

When the Beastmen arrive here, all the knights and soldiers, including the people, will die.

"If I had bought time, it would be three days even if I looked at it for a long time..." I don't know if it's been dropped already. "

I can't believe that Kalmar Fortress was dropped in such a short time!?

"There's a guy over there..." The head of the Beastman clan is the healed one. "

"Is it a monster that looks like that boy..."

"In front of him, Kalmar Fortress makes sense."

Galdore's prediction was correct.

However, Kalmar Fortress was completely captured in just eight hours, ignited and burned for twelve hours. The Beastman Clan was currently under invasion.

After that, I was prepared to leave and I took the distance, and I was able to earn about four days.

"Let the others rest early in preparation for the long journey from here." Of course, so are the people. "

"Is it the people..."

"The Beastman surpasses the human race if he has only physical strength." I'm sure the time I've earned will soon catch up with me. Is there something wrong with the people? "

"No, some people are dissatisfied with us because we retreated from the Fortress of Kalmar without questioning them." I took care not to cause any casualties here..... "

"Nuu..."

I predicted that the Carmel fortress would be attacked, but then Galdore's intuition made a judgment, so some of the people said, "Isn't it safer to stay at the Carmel fortress? 'There were many people who thought that, and the knights, including General Galdore, were resented.

Most of them are slave traders and mercenaries hired by them.

It is a small inn town within the Amphora Gate, and some people are thinking about settling here. You can't use the same tactics once you activate the coercion.

Precisely because they abandoned the Carmel fortress they had already managed, General Gardoor at the Amphora Boundary has no authority.

"... would you like Lord Kulcult to help you?"

"No, it's useless." This place gives priority to those who believe in us and arrive, and those who remain must not be abandoned. "

"...... Are you going to kill me?"

"We are not gods. Those who can be helped are within reach. It wasn't strong enough to defend everything. Unfortunately, there's no other way to truncate it."

If there was a way to fight and win, Gardoor would choose to fight.

However, this time it is only judged that it is impossible.

This amphora barrier may take an extra toll because of Kurt's ambition, but it's better than being annihilated.

"Someone has to take on the role of grudge."

"General Galdor..."

Knowing the horror of the enemy makes it necessary for the people to take on the dirty work.

However, that is not acceptable to all. Especially in an emergency like sacrificing family property.

The silence to avoid confusion is only considered to be intentional secrecy if the uninformed is reached, and since there is a deep-seated awareness and common sense that the Beast Man clan cannot even be an enemy, the knights are unilaterally condemned.

Sooner or later, the frustration of the people should explode.

"I'll be out of here in the morning." Tell the others that you may be tired. "

Okay, got it.

Galdor forces a retreat to his homeland.

On the other hand, the person in charge of the Amphora Gate wanted a total defense.

It was here that the light and darkness of both those who saw ahead and those who were driven by individual desires were decided.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Solistair's magical kingdom was still peaceful today.

The caravans of merchants traveling the streets were not once attacked by bandits or monsters, and the mercenaries of the guards were doing well enough to stretch.

"Ahh... I'm free."

"I'm free ~..."

It's free time.

It was the first time in a long time that Jarne and the others had received a mercenary offer to escort a merchant's caravan, but they had been too idle for too long.

If nothing happens, you can have fun and get a reward, so I feel that it is enough to make a full profit, but if there is no change too much, those who have time to spare will rot.

"Even though I have so much free time, I can't attack my beloved darling..." I'm resting with my family at night and Journey's eyes are tight..... "

"You... you were going to attack my child after all." I told you not to touch my client's family. "

"Lena-san... please take care of yourself." I don't know what you're doing privately, but it's not good when you're at work. ”

"Excuse me, you're weighing yourself." But if you put up with it too much, it's bad for you. Mostly mentally, though. "

Sex Crimes - Lena, who is a very serious chotacon, was the most headacheful for the Journée women's party.

When she sees a boy she likes, she transforms into a hunter.

No, in some cases, it turned into a horror monster. When this happens, it is out of hand.

After all, the more she touches her client's son and the child she just stumbles upon, the more her paranoia towards her boy is.

I'm weighing myself now, but I can't be held responsible until I arrive at my destination and take action thereafter. Who can stop the hunter's hunting instincts?

"What should I trust with Lena, who is exploring the trends of the merchant's children?" If there is a gap, it will attack. We get angry because of joint and several liability. "

"You can't help it, I'll naturally follow her movements with my eyes..." Deep love is a sin, isn't it? "

"It looks like I'm eating indiscriminately." I don't know if there really is love there. "

"There is love." That's why I'm not stopping for one night's romance. "

That romance was the problem.

Her duty is to taste the first dish that women have not yet experienced.

She had different tastes, but she had a certain sadness and fear of not choosing the means for the purpose. It is strange that he has not been reported as a criminal.

"But... it's peaceful, isn't it?"

"My uncle has gone somewhere, so what are you doing now?"

"Aren't you at war?" If it's as strong as Mr. Zeros, it'll soon become a fragment. "

I think I'm hunting a dead monster somewhere.

"I wonder if they're even digging?" She said she didn't have enough metal. "

Lena was right.

But they can't say with certainty because they're old enough to act.

"Speaking of which, Jarne and Luceris got engaged." How did it go after that? "

"Nothing in particular... I'm avoiding that urge, so I'm inevitably trying not to see much of you..."

It's a rampage of instinct, isn't it so dangerous?

"Iris... the symptoms of romantic syndrome are worse than you think." I'm going to lose sight of myself. When it gets severe, I can't even recognize it at all... "

"However, the memories of the rampage will remain." It's an easy way to turn your back on that impulse, isn't it? I'm honest with myself. "

It's normal for you to be a criminal!!

Jarne didn't want her to have the symptoms of romantic syndrome and Lena's illness together.

Love syndrome is a phenomenon that attracts people who are compatible with each other by instinct, in a sense it is a kind of love at first sight, but in the case of Lena, it is a sudden indiscriminate impulse of desire alone.

It is only irrelevant to be told to entrust yourself to the impulse of a severe perversion in which all the young boys before adulthood are prey. I doubt whether love really exists there.

"You... you'll get caught someday"

"It's okay, we'll resist at first, but at the end of the day, we'll be very happy with each other and we'll split up." Besides, it's just a one-night stand. "

"It's usually a crime. Lena-san... beware of scary diseases."

There are also venereal diseases in this world.

Although the Solistair Magic Kingdom is a sanitary country compared to other countries, the next most common cause of death is syphilis. Fewer than 20% of the deaths are caused by accidents and monsters.

There are many cases of death from syphilis, especially among wealthy merchants and nobles.

There are many cases where husbands who play in brothels become infected with their wives and cannot be treated, and both couples die, especially if they suffer from pregnant children.

Polygamy and polygamy are accepted in the world, but it is basically a male-dominated society. The treatment of a wife who has become syphilis is so bad that she is considered ashamed. The position of a woman who is blamed for her husband is too unfortunate.

And there is still no cure.

Before Lena gets infected, could my uncle make me a penicillin?

"What, that?"

"Was it an antibiotic that worked against venereal disease? To put it plainly, I don't know how to make it, but...."

"Ahhh... there are quite a few people with syphilis, so I'd be grateful to a whore."

"That's pretty serious." I think it would be very helpful if Mr. Zeros could make it. Because it's effective against incurable diseases. "

In this world where notions such as microorganisms and pathogens are known, penicillin can truly be a savior. It's one of the lost technologies.

After the War of the Evil Gods, the decline of civilization accelerated at once, and many of the chemical medicines were recognized as legendary secret drugs, which are still being researched, but there are still no successful cases.

Magic drugs are certainly used to treat injuries and diseases, and their effects promote cell activation and temporary enhancement of immune function, but their effect on pathogens is subtle.

There are many cases of death that may be cured but not recovered, and it is necessary to repeat the verification and experimentation to establish a medical-based technique. That's the hardest part.

"I feel like I'm somehow making it myself." My uncle is whimsical. "

It looks like Mr. Zeros would be able to do it.

"I can think of that old man."

The three daughters' perception of the old man was terrible.

However, even if you think so, you are doing it so much that you can't help it, so this is a result of self-worth.

"By the way, Jarne, you... how long will you call me Mr. Zeros?"

"Huh? No, it's old enough."

"Ah, you're already my fiancée." You can't be an old man forever, can you? "

“Doesn't matter, does it?

"You can't be cool." You don't know what to call it, do you? "

Hmm, do you call me Mr. Zeros like Mr. Luceris, or Milord?

"Milord, you are Darling... there are so many things."

Ah, can you suddenly call me that familiar!

Lena and Iris gave a bad smile to Nyonyo and the others.

Jarne fully understood that the two of them were in trouble.

Because I'm playing with stupidly similar stories to count them.

"I can't play with you guys anymore." You're going to waste your time trying to cheat on me, aren't you? "

"Oh dear, you've totally threaded it." I wonder where the cute jarnet went back then. "

Well, if I had the time, I would've used this cover, so I'll get used to it.

"For the time being, this is a job." Just be a little more serious and mindful of your surroundings. "

"I'm doing it, right?" But I don't have to worry so much about Ellis' Detection magic.

”That's right... ah...”

The raid came only when I was out of alert.

Iris's detection abilities detect the enemy's presence and signal them with a sense of fear.

"It's an enemy! Is this... a monster?"

What's the distance?

"I'm already surrounded." It moves faster than a goblin. "

"It moves fast? When it comes to... Orcs?" No, maybe Cobolt. It's unusual around here. ”

"That's not the case, is it?" It's your job. "

The mercenaries who had received the same request soon realized that Kobolt existed, and all of them were ready for combat.

You understand that they have noticed their presence, and arrows are fired from the surrounding grass and trees.

"Enemy attack! It's Kobolt, and there's a lot of them!!"

"Bastard, you followed me while you measured the distance with your stench."

I'm going to kick your ass.

The mercenaries hold their weapons and harden around the wagon.

Kobolt is stronger than Goblins, but weaker than Orcs.

Regardless, it is prudent and calculating, and has the intelligence to retreat immediately if the opponent is judged to be tough, much more troublesome than a flock of goblins without foolish orcs or evolutionary species.

Because they are intelligent enough to craft weapons, they are more powerful than Orcs and Goblins who become affected by evolutionary species to craft weapons. Above all, they can formulate operations that are not considered as monsters in group combat.

"Shit, I don't want to have a bow." Put up your shields! "

We were already at war.

Arrows are fired from the rear to contain them, and proximity forces are setting up mercenaries.

The battle technique of two opponents per person was also effective in battles between humans, but the monsters could only use this technique on Kobolt. Even pushing like an orc is troublesome because it changes the way you fight depending on the situation, not the way you fight with a goblin-like trap as the main axis.

Some damage was done until the mercenaries who fought in the party were able to coordinate with other mercenaries.

Without knowing how to fight each other, it will take time for the mercenaries to get used to working together.

”Gaaa!”

Dog split!

"Do something with the bow!" It's disturbing and depressing. "

I'll take care of it! Windcutter

A windcutter unleashed by Iris intercepts Kobolt with a bow in the rear guard.

Understanding that there are enemies capable of ranged attacks, Kobolt roars, and Kobolt, with his shield, enters to defend the Archer.

"Damn it, you're working with Cobolt!"

Don't panic, take care of it one by one!

Protecting my client is a hassle.

The merchants are evacuated in the back of the wagon, and the mercenaries must stand around to avoid being attacked by Cobolt. If it is inferior in number, it can be a disadvantageous situation.

Cobolt himself is not strong enough to save us.

"I-It's tough not to be able to use the Great Sword..." Even though it's faster to get rid of it. "

“I don't complain. This is your job, too."

Jarne's gift was not a giant sword that threw a fireball, but a spare longsword to fight back. I decided it was more difficult to manoeuvre than there were other mercenaries around.

While moving around, Lena was using her shield to parry Kobolt's attack, and she was aiming at the staggered area to make sure that she could take him down. Piercing cobolts pointing to the head and heart are already rolling to the ground.

"Ugh, Lena-san is defeated with a single blow..."

You can bounce off an attack like Cobolt, but it's hard when it's an orc.

"Orcs are strong, so they need techniques to parry them." I can't do it either. "

Iris also uses her staff as a stick to defeat Kobolt's attack, but it's difficult to defeat with a single hit because of its low attack power.

By incorporating body magic into it, it became an offensive and defensive unit. It did not let the swarm of cobolts approach, but pierced the gap and used light magic attacks such as [Paralyze] and [Sand Curtain].

Paralysis and blindfolding are plain but effective, and these assistants can help other mercenaries.

"Lady, thank you for saving me."

"There's a lot of them."

"Sure enough, where did they come from?"

Kobolt wasn't weaker than Goblins, but compared to Orcs, he was a half-hearted monster. Unless I crossed the dead end many times, there were no such monsters around here.

But Cobolt has more control than he needs. That's strange.

Gahh!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Perceived as unfavorable, Kobolts immediately interrupted the raid and began retreating as they howled at the retreat signal.

And his movements were also steadfast.

"...... You retreated? It's good to have a close contact with you."

"I wasn't too strong, but I felt like I was used to fighting." I wonder if I can defeat a loose orc. "

"Honestly, I thought it was tough..." Was Cobolt stronger than this? "

The strength of the flock, not the strength of the pieces.

The Cobolts fled with a sense of disadvantage, but otherwise there would have been casualties by now. In other words, there was a leader who could calmly analyze the situation.

“I think we should report it to the guild when we get to the city.”

That's right. There were too many of them, and if there were a party of about three people, they would kill me.

I think you should be vigilant for a while.

In addition to the usual species, monsters also had higher and mutant species.

It is unclear whether there were any special individuals in Cobolt, but sometimes the organisational behavior was more familiar than the usual species, and it is too dangerous to leave it like this.

In addition, I had to ask the mercenary guild to issue a warning through the merchant guild so that the other mercenaries would not be harmed. Not even a newcomer or a mercenary who has escaped the battlefield can compete.

Just like every month, when the monster damage kills a person, the mercenaries are obliged to report any abnormalities to the guild. This information separates life and death.

"Well, there are quite a few mercenaries who abandon their duties..."

"I hope nothing happens..."

"Mr. Journey, that's a flag..."

“If something happens, it's because of Jarne's inadvertent remarks.”

Why did you do that?

After that, they finished the escort request without incident and reported to the mercenary guild.

The Guild issued a vigilance order for Cobolt's herd, but in the end, it would be lifted three weeks later without any damage.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

The Beastman Tribe Allied forces that dropped the Carmel Fortress marched under the head of Broth near the Amphora Pass.

The bloody beasts were marching with restraint, but Bros, judging their enthusiasm to be dangerous, once stopped marching and decided to rest in the middle of the plain.

Dropping the amphora barrier can also set a stepping stone for Matisse's Holy Law Godland, so I know how they feel about dropping it right now, but if this motivation is left idle, they will be in a dilemma.

Above all, I didn't want to sacrifice the broth, but sometimes I wanted time to use it with my magic talisman to fly magic. I wanted to know more about the terrain of the enemy territory than I was at war with.

While watching the beasts camping to reveal the night, Bros uses one person to scout from the sky.

The demonic bald eagle continued to fly through the sky and reached the Amphora Gate.

But...

Oh dear... this structure of the Amphora Barrier...

― ― The amphora barrier confirmed from above was in a sense as hard as the Kalmar Fortress.

In terms of defense, unlike the Kalmar Fortress, which had defensive positions in eight directions, it is a natural stronghold due to the terrain that is sandwiched between the cliffs on the left and right. Even if it can enter the inside of the gate, it is easy to attack from above the building.

In addition, the walls are bisected on the Ruda-Irulu Plains and the Métis Holy Faith, so the soldiers who turn to defense will concentrate on the gated areas.

It is not easy to force through, and it involves sacrifice.

The problem is...

... it's a double gate.

Even after destroying the outer gate, there was another gate on the inside, so we had to stop there. Moreover, the inner and outer gates are connected by a passage on the left and right, and if you break into them, you will be sieged from directly above the walls.

You can destroy it with the Dunnel MGL borrowed from Zero, but we have a limited amount of ammo, and we want to use it to reduce the enemy's strength, so we can't use it in vain.

Even if you break through the gate, the facilities at the amphora barrier are still dense on the left and right, so the damage caused by the siege is not significant.

"I thought you said Zeros and the others would help with the artillery, but I wonder if the artillery can fire in a row?" If it was a single shot, we would be attacked during loading... Huh? If you think about it, you'll be damaged by the shelling... I thought we were going to need some serious training until we could fire on the target before that. "

When the anxiety grew, I was concerned about other things, and I realized that I had a lot of doubts about whether Zeros could be supported by artillery in the first place.

I am more afraid than anything that two 88mm guns are capable of handling.

Even if the range is fixed, the impact angle changes, and above all, the maker is Zero. It is not strange that there is a defect somewhere.

If you think about it carefully, because Zeros are not military personnel, they are not trained in artillery, and it seems impossible to reliably hit the target location.

As the important things come to mind, there is no longer anything left but anxiety.

"...... Damn. I asked for it casually because I know you, but it looks like the most funny combination!?" I'm starting to feel like I shouldn't get involved in this kind of thing!! "

Anyway, the old man couldn't be trusted.

It is the characteristic of [Annihilator] to definitely play the big popcorn in an important scene. Broth is not only a mouth that has been involved in sightings until now, but I want to blame myself for not realizing such an important thing until now.

"After all, I've already done it..."

It was a broth that was trying to get to Zero in a hurry, but soon after that, she was caught by her wife and placed under house arrest for about two days.

Spiritual exaltation in wartime seems to revitalize animal instincts, and the thirst for species preservation seems to amplify more than usual.

The Beastmen seemed to be particularly terrible.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

On the morning of the third day, the problem arose when the Holy Knights, including Galdor, tried to withdraw from the Amphora Gate.

Some slave traders came to Gardoor and complained.

Specifically...

"General Galdor, we cannot allow ourselves to retreat from the Amphora Gate." We abandoned our belongings and followed the general's orders until now, but in the first place, it was common sense to devote three times the defending forces. If you think about it, there's nothing to lose to the beasts! "

"That's right! Why can't you just kick them off?" Where do we need to be afraid of the beasts if we can beat them enough by using the bulwarks! ”

"Even though Uncle Kuzui and Lord Kulcult are fighting attitude...."

"We also have mercenaries who guard us." If you help us, we can close the gap!! "

― ― The slave traders who were not satisfied with the abandonment of the Carmel Fortress became skeptical of retreating because they were led by agents of the Blood League.

In response to the rather quick response, General Galdore inwardly poisoned [that ambitious man, after doing extra...].

But when this happens, Galdore will have to make a decision.

Take only those who follow and leave the Amphora Gate immediately, or work with them to fight the Beastmen. But I had already come to a conclusion.

"I am fully aware that the lords and others are not satisfied." But I had already come to the conclusion. There is no change in withdrawing. "

"Irresponsible! The General is willing to relinquish his duties!"

"We will stay here and let Uncle Kuzui and Lord Kulcult help us." Are you sure?

"If you want to stay, do so. We will not force the lords and others to do so."

They are still unaware of the tremendous changes in the Beastman clan.

That's why I'm bewildered by the rhetoric.

All of the forts on the Ruda Irru Plain were destroyed, but I think it was all because the Holy Knights were too weak. It's not a partial mistake.

When the hero Iwata marched in, most of the knights were joined, and most of them were annihilated. Only the new recruits and those with some combat experience were newly assigned. It is tantamount to having no harsh battlefield experience.

There was no way they could be dealing with monsters like that.

All that Galdore can say is to cover himself with mud so as not to cause fruitless deaths. But he was not foolish enough to protect those who wished to die.

"Let's find out that there is still despair here." But you can't help anyone. This is the decision you chose. "

"Phew... you're also an old man called a famous general, aren't you?"

"If you do, let us do it as we please." However, I will hold you accountable after you are safely returned to your home country. "

"Do as you please. If only I could get out of the Amphora Gate alive..."

It was an ominous prophecy, but the slave traders did not understand the meaning of the word. Their understanding of how out-of-standard an opponent the battle-scarred generals judged unwinnable could not be improved, and they paralyzed it as a mere defeat.

Gardoor sighed deeply as he stared at the slaver who was leaving.

"Is money more important than life?" I don't know. "

"Well, I guess it's important." Because they are merchants. "

If you're a merchant, I think you understand the importance of information.

"If you can do that, I think you'll be a big merchant by now." I think you're spoilt for the disposable merchants of the underworld because you can't. Most of the slave traders are connected to criminal organizations. "

"That's a headache, too..."

Few slave traders have beautiful feet.

Because they prey on the lives of others, their obsession with wealth is stronger, and if it is to be fattened, they will use other people without any problem. That is their daily routine and common sense.

Some of them are stepping into a deeper dark society.

"... less than half, but should I think I've become selfish?"

“If they don't get their goods, they'll be killed by a criminal organization, so don't you know that returning to the country is more dangerous than anything?”

"It doesn't make any sense to die."

Slavery is a very important business in a dark society.

In particular, the slave trade of the Beastmen is a valuable source of income after narcotics in the dark organization. Most slave traders based in the fortress city of Kalmar have organizations and slave trade routes. If you can not purchase new slaves, you may be eliminated behind the scenes.

Whether you stay at the amphora junction or return to the country, the fate of their slave traders is decided, but if they are crushed here, it will be a blow to the dark business, and I am very grateful that the slave traders will disappear from the position of protecting the country.

It was complicated to lose an important base just because of that.

"You've had some time... get ready to leave." We're going through the valley today. "

Okay, got it.

Thus, General Galdo rushes out of the Amphora Gate with half the evacuees to return to his homeland as soon as possible, leaving those drowning in their greed to mock their backs.

Until they realized that this was the moment when they divided the light and dark, they did not break their foolish attitude, and they stayed until despair was imminent.
