Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

Humans and subhumans walk together in the tree sea.

To that unlikely sight, the subhuman tiger and figure in front of him turned a gaze at the cams to see the traitors. A double-edged sword is held in his hand in a state of escape. Dozens of sub people around also seem to be laying siege nets as they roll their killing chips.

"Oh, those us..."

Cam tries to elucidate herself with a cold sweat on her forehead in an attempt to delude herself, but before that, the tiger's subhuman gaze captures Shea and his eyes open wide.

"The White-haired Raptors..." you say?... you... the Haurians who reported it... you subhuman bastards! I didn't know you would keep fooling your countrymen and not only hide your abominations for years, but now invite in a human race! It's treason! You no longer have to ask for an explanation or anything! I'll execute them all on this occasion! All of you!?

Dpan!!

At that moment when the tiger's sub-man tried to give an attack order without question, Hajime's arm jumped, and with the gunfire a flash of light plundered his cheek, choosing the tree behind him and disappeared into the back of the tree sea.

I can scratch the cheeks of subhuman tigers frozen by incomprehensible attacks. If my ears were on the side like humans, I would certainly have bounced and flown. Everyone is rigid on an overspeed attack that doesn't allow for bursts and reactions that we've never even heard of.

There, Hajime's voice sounded, with no appearance of feeling but uninterrupted pressure. It is an intrinsic magic that directly releases the magic of "intimidation" to exert physical pressure on the target.

"The attack now can be fired in dozens of units during the moment. They know everything that surrounds them. Where you are is already my kill zone."

"Hey... chant..."

A sub tiger who eats without being told he knows where his allies are, in addition to being able to fire a series of intense attacks that he has never seen without chanting. As proof of that, Hajime pulled out the shrug in natural motion and pointed the gun in a certain direction. Beyond that, oddly enough, was the place where the belly-hearted subordinates of the tiger. I see signs of upset on the other side of the fog.

"If killing means killing, I won't forgive you. Until the promises are fulfilled, I'll take care of their lives… don't think I can survive just one person."

Besides the intimidation, Hajime begins to unleash his intent to kill. Too thick a sub of a tiger being slapped straight from the front, he desperately pressed himself into a panic and seemingly meaningless summons if he hedged, as he shed a large amount of cold sweat.

(You gotta be kidding me! You mean this stuff is human! It's a complete disguise!

Keep the word going, as Hajime held up Donner Shrak, as if he had learned something such as a sub tiger who summons a great deal in his heart not to lose his fear.

"But I won't chase you if you mean to pull this place off. If you're not the enemy, there's no reason to kill him. Come on, choose. Hostile and pointlessly annihilated, or go home with adultery."

The Tiger Subman was convinced. The moment we give the order to attack, the flash of light will ravage us in an instant. That, in that case, there is no chance of survival.

The Tiger Subman was Captain of the Second Guard in Fairbergen. Security between Fairbergen and surrounding settlements was the main task, and I was proud and prepared for this task of protecting my countrymen from demons and intruders. For this reason, even if we were certain that all our subordinates would be destroyed, we could not easily pull them off.

"... before I do, I want to hear one thing"

The tiger sub-man asked Hajime desperately and powerfully at the voice that was about to plunder. Hajime urged the conversation with his gaze.

"... what's the purpose?

Terminal questions. Depending on the response, however, it is a question of readiness to go beyond saying that we are prepared to risk our lives by defining this place as a place of death. The Tiger sub-men glanced at Hajime with the undying will that if they were to harm Fairbergen and the sub-people of the settlement, they could not possibly pull them off.

"I want to go deep in the tree sea, under the great tree"

"Go beneath the tree...... so? For what?

I wondered if the purpose was to harm ourselves, such as to enslave subhuman beings. Although sacred, it is not regarded as very important. "Otsuki is said to be the purpose and is slightly confused by the subhuman tiger." The Great Tree is nothing more than a tree sea attraction, so to speak, if you make it subhuman.

"Because there may be an entrance to the real Great Labyrinth. We're on a journey to attack the Seven Labyrinths. Howlia hired me to guide her."

"A real labyrinth? What are you talking about? The Seven Labyrinths are the sea itself. It's a natural labyrinth that once stepped in, no one but the Asians would ever move on or go home."

"No, that's crazy"

"What?

Tiger Subman inquired in surprise at Hajime's assertion of strange confidence.

"When it comes to the Great Labyrinth, the demons here are too weak"

"Weak?"

"That's right. The demons of the Great Labyrinth are always full of them. At least [Orcs Great Labyrinth] Nara was. And..."

"What?

"The Great Labyrinth is a test left by the liberators. Subtribes can go deep easily, can't they? Then it's not a trial. So it's strange that the Tree Sea itself is a maze."

……

After listening to Hajime, the Tiger Subman could not hide his confusion. Because I don't understand what Hajime is saying. Breaking the demons of the Tree Sea as weak, the [Orcs Great Labyrinth] Naruto, the Liberator, the Labyrinth trials and the... it's just not familiar. Usually, I would have cut it off and thrown it away.

But right now, there's no point in Hajime saying the right thing. It is Hajime who has an overwhelming advantage, because he doesn't need excuses or anything. Besides, it's oddly full of certainty and power in words. If you're really not interested in subhumans or Fairbergen and Daiki is an end in itself, you'd rather let him just serve his purpose and walk away than pointlessly scatter the lives of his men.

The Tiger Subman made an instant decision that far. But I'm not going to let the amazement of Hajime go wild on my own. I also understand that this matter is completely beyond my control. For this reason, the Tiger Subman suggested to Hajime.

"... If you say you will not harm your country or your compatriots, I will judge that you do not mind enough to go under the great tree. You can't just spill your men's lives in a meaningless way."

The word spread with signs of upset by the surrounding subpeople. I guess it's because in the tree sea, it's unusual to miss a human race that has broken in.

"But it's not a good decision for me as a security captain to make at my discretion. Ask your home country for instructions. Your story and the elders may know it. If you really don't have anywhere to go, miss the message and wait here with us."

Hajime thinks a little into the words of the subhuman of the tiger, who sweats cold and still dwells his strong will in his eyes and stares.

I guess it's a limit critical concession from a tiger sub. I hear other species who break into the tree sea will be executed without question. Even now, you really can't help but want to cut off the Hajimes. But that would undoubtedly cost my men their lives. Critical suggestions to avoid it and not to let the danger of hazime go wild.

Hajime was a little impressed that he was the one who could make medium rational decisions in this situation. And now we have the benefit of annihilating and pushing them on this occasion, and the benefit of obtaining their permission even if we commit the risk of being completely besieged by Fairbergen... we have chosen the latter. If the Great Tree is not the entrance to the Great Labyrinth, further exploration must be carried out. Then it would be more convenient to have permission from Fairbergen. Of course, in the end, there's a great chance of hostility, but if there's a way I don't have to, I've never crossed it. It is not a humanitarian decision, simply because exploration while annihilating seems terribly cumbersome.

"... fine. Tell them what you just said, don't twist it, okay?

"Whatever. Zam! You heard me! Pass it on to the elders!

"Copy that!"

With the words of the Tiger Subman, one sign went away. Hajime solved the "intimidation" by delivering Donner Shrark, who stood up to confirm it, to the thigh holster. The air relaxes at once. Plus, a tiger sub who looks horrified and seems surprised by the hajime, who has lifted his guard lightly. Some of them seem to be in collision with "Now!". You noticed what that gaze meant. Hajime laughed invincibly.

"My unplugged shooting is faster than you guys attacking... you want to give it a try?

"... no. But don't make a bad move. We have to move too."

"I know."

The siege remained intact, but we finally found ourselves in a paragraph, and the cams also leaked a ho soothing exhale. However, the gaze directed at them is more severe than that directed at Hajime, and it seems quite uncomfortable.

For a while, the severely painful atmosphere filled the surroundings, but you got tired of such an atmosphere, and Yue just started giving out a little bite when she asked Hajime to stand up. Whether Shea sees it to soothe the scene or simply can no longer stand the atmosphere, "Me too," the air slows down a little bit to the hajime of his opponent laughing bitterly. In the middle of the enemy land, suddenly he starts flirting (which seemed like it to the subpeoples) and his gaze pierces the hajime.

You just said an hour in time. Shea, in good shape, was extremely articulated by Yue and said, "Gibbs! It's gibberish!," he tapped desperately, staring at it with a raw warm gaze half-containing the fright of the surrounding subpeople, feeling signs of rapidly approaching.

Tension runs again on the field. Shea's joints run with pain.

From behind the fog, several new sub-people emerged. An old man in the middle of them catches a particular eye. Binoculars with deep intelligence in flowing beautiful blonde hair, their body is thin, giving them a feeling of lightness that is likely to fly away if blown. The majestic appearance, although somewhat engraved with wrinkles, on the contrary, was accented to enhance beauty. Above all, its pointy long ears are characteristic. I guess he's a forest folk (aka an elf).

Hajime instantly guessed that he was what he called an "elder". The guess seems to be a hit.

"Hmm, are you the human race in question? What's your first name?

"Hajime. Nagumo Hajime. What about you?

What an attitude to the elders by the subordinates around them to Hajime's wording! and show outrage. When he took control of it with one hand, the forest man also named it back.

"I am, Alfreic Hypist. They're letting me keep one of Fairbergen's elder seats. Well, I'm listening to your demands... but I want you to let me hear them before they do. Where did you find out who the Liberator was?

"Yeah? It's the lair of Oscar Orcs, one of the liberators, at the bottom of the Great Labyrinth of Orcs"

Hajime responds with surprise to Alfreric, who shows interest in the Liberator's words, not for purposes, etc. On the other hand, the inside of what Alfreric wouldn't even put on his expression was stunned. Because the word "liberator" and the fact that one of them is named "Oscar Orkus" are known only very slightly to the elders.

"Hmm, the bottom of Naruto... I've never heard of it... can you prove it?

Or Alfreric asks Hajime, thinking about the possibility that someone is leaking information to the upper echelons of the sub tribe. Hajime gives a difficult look. Even if they tell you to prove it, what you can immediately show is about your own strength. Yue suggests to Hajime twisting his neck.

"... Hajime, any demon stones or Orcs artifacts?

"Oh! Right, then..."

Pong and clapping his hands, he takes out from the "treasure trove" some demonic stones of unlikely quality from earthly monsters and gives them to Alfreric.

"This... is such a pure demon stone I've never seen..."

Alfreric was also heartily surprised, but the suburb of the neighboring tiger raised his voice unexpectedly with a stunned face.

"Later, this. For once, it's the ring Orcs wore..."

That's what I said, it was the Orcs ring I showed you. Alfreric opened his eyes when he saw the crest engraved on that ring. And exhale slowly to make you feel down.

"I see... indeed, you seem to have reached Oscar Orcs' lair. There are a lot of other things that bother me...... okay. Don't you dare come to Fairbergen. Allow me to stay in my name. Yeah, and of course Howlia's with me."

In Alfreric's words, not only the surrounding sub-tribes, but also Cam and Haulia gave a startling look. A fierce voice of protest is raised, headed by the Tiger Subman. That would be natural, too. There was never a human race in Fairbergen.

"They must be treated as guests. Because I'm qualified for it. That is one of the codes that can only be passed on to those who have taken the throne of elders."

Alfreric forgives the subpeople around him with a harsh look on his face. But now Hajime spoke up more in protest.

"Wait. How much time do you have on your own to schedule me? I need help with Daiki, and I'm not interested in Fairbergen. If it's no problem, let me go straight to Daiki."

"No, you. I can't do that."

"What?

Are you just gonna get in the way? I returned it to Hajime, who finds herself at home, rather as Alfreric was more perplexed.

"The surroundings of the great trees are particularly foggy, even the subtribes lose sight of their direction. At a certain cycle, the fog weakens, so it has to be then to go under the great tree. The next time you can go is in ten days.... Anyone in the sub tribe should know..."

Alfreric said, "What are you going to do now?" And after seeing Hajime, I saw Cam, the guide. Hajime saw Cam, just like Alfreric, after he was pokanned by the facts he was asked. Speaking of that cam...

"Ah."

Exactly, he had the look that I just remembered. Blue muscles float on Hajime's forehead.

"Cam?"

"Oh, no, what do you call that... Look, there was a lot going on, so I hope you forgot about it... I've just been there when I was little too, and I hope you weren't aware of the cycle..."

He was a cam desperate to excuse himself when he wandered off, but the opposite was true if he could no longer stand Hajime and Yue's jitsu eyes.

"Yeah, Shea, and you guys! Why didn't you tell me on the way! You guys know about the cycle!

"Become, Father, it's the reverse guile! I thought it was just a cycle because my father confidently undertakes... I mean, it's my father's fault!

"Yes, we are, too, is that it? Are you crazy? I thought the chief was so confident that it was our mistake..."

"Chieftain, if I did anything, I would have stuck it out..."

Shea rubs the blame even more backwards on the backwards guile cam, and the other rabbits scratch the blame with indifference.

"Oh, you guys! Still family! This is it, that's it! Joint responsibility! Joint responsibility! Lord Hajime, if you want to punish me, please not only me, but the whole clan!

"Ah, dirty! Father, it's filthy! I'm with you on the road because I'm afraid you'll be punished by yourself!

"Chieftain, please don't get involved with us!

"Stupid mon! I would have seen Lord Hajime's lack of forgiveness on the road! I absolutely don't want to get a bat on my own!

"Are you still a sheik!

The depth of affection among the subraces is said to be one of the best of the races, the Lao. They were rubbing their responsibilities against each other in a rave. Where did the depth of emotion go...... boulder, is Shea's family. All in all, it was just an unfortunate bunny.

Hajime floating blue muscles, a word, groans.

"... yue"

"Mmm."

Yue, who stepped forward to Hajime's words, raised his right hand suddenly. The look on the faces of Howlia and the others who noticed it attracts me.

"Oh, wait, Mr. Yue! If you want to do it, just father!

"Ha ha, we're all together all the time!

"What's with you!

"Lord Yue, please leave it to the chief alone!

"I'm not bad, I'm not bad, it's the chief who's bad!

Yue shrugged quietly, laughing thinly at the hustling and noisy Haurias.

"Storm Emperor."

- - Ahhh!!!

Rabbits rising high in heaven. Their screams tree spirit in the tree sea. My countrymen were supposed to have been attacked, but there was no hostility to the look on the faces of the surrounding subpopulations, including Alfreric. Instead, he looks up to heaven with a frightened look. Their expressions showed, above all eloquently, the regret of the Haurian tribe.
