I’m an Adventurer! ~Musou Skill is Plane Magic~
Episode 207: The Cat Was Crowded
With this, it quickly became December 25. It is Christmas in the past, but naturally there is no Christianity in this world, so there is no Christmas, and old people in red clothes do not come and go. I don't eat cake, champagne, or whole turkey roasts. No, I only ate it once in my last life.
Last night, because it was Eve, I didn't float, and I spent the evening as usual. I was about to get my bird filled with whole roasted vanilla. I don't know what kind of bird it is, and I didn't know what kind of vanilla it is, but it was delicious, so that's good.
From today to January 5, there will be many holidays nationwide, and the new Adventurers School will also be closed. We are also on schedule to complete the basic construction of the street. In other words, we're going on New Year's holiday. Nevertheless, it is the sadness of management (aristocrats) that it is not possible to take a full break.
"Wow, I'm still sleepy ~"
"Early sleep and early rising are adventurers' tastes. I haven't been on any adventures lately, Argna-san."
"Argna's loose isn't something we've just begun."
"Oh, by the way, these two arms may have been shaking recently. Ufufu"
"Ugh!? That's not true! You train well every day!
"What's the point of eating more?
"... it's greasy"
Our female team is still busy today.
In the early morning, not so long after sunrise, we are heading towards the Dorton South Gate with a carriage full of luggage (although it is a plain armored horse). The contents of the luggage are mainly alcohol and groceries.
Today's weather is cloudy as the region's winter sky. Morning dew falls and moisturizes the leaves of paper trees that do not wither even in winter. There is little ice around here even in winter, and it is rare for frost to fall. It should get really cold in the future, but this morning dew can turn into frost many times.
"Good morning, grandpa! I'll be out in four or five days!
"Yes, good morning. Be careful, kid."
"Boy, this gate will be closed for three days from tomorrow, so when you come back, leave it at the north gate."
"Really? All right, good luck with your work! Okay, I'm coming!
Say hello to the two elderly gatekeepers at the south gate and leave the city. I meet her every morning for a walk with Wu and Tarojiro, so I can already say I know her. They were both freaked out by big Woo at first, but now they're used to stroking their heads. Big dogs are calm and cute when you get used to them.
By the way, they both think of me as a "substitute child." Apparently, I don't know much about the city. I certainly didn't make the inaugural speech, and I didn't show my face to the residents. I don't know.
The Adventurers know... no, they might think of me as a "substitute child." Not "substitute child", but "substitute child" is the correct answer... well, I haven't had any trouble so far, and it's fine.
Usually I open the gate with the sunrise and close it at sunset, but it seems I'll keep it closed for the New Year's holidays. I think it was opened last year. Why keep it closed this year? I'm a substitute, but I don't know anything. Ask your deputy manager (Imelda) when you get back.
Outside the gate were dozens of men and women. Most of them have a tired atmosphere and the costume is a little dirty. I feel like I've been on a long journey. Some of them are talking about something. Is that a rub?
Nearly all the people gathered are cats. A few people are mixed with the human race. There are no dogs. It's a cat rally. It's already morning. When I run into you in the middle of the night, countless eyes glow blue and freak out, right?
From that rubbing group, a young man comes running towards me. A brown, short-haired cat man.
"Boss, Princess, I've been expecting you. As instructed, we have gathered the visitors."
"Yeah, Toby, thanks. Looks like he was rubbing something, but what's the problem?
"No, well, it's not a big deal..."
Toby is a clan of Argna, one of my slaves. I worked on a farm at the base of the Great Forest, but I brought it to Dorton for various tasks. Several other people, mainly young people, are being pulled out to live in the city. They are also mixed up in the group.
One of its tasks is to gather and protect the survival and descendants of the former Sima kingdom. I mean, that's the cat group there. Today, we are taking them to the village, the base of the Great Forest.
There is now civil unrest in the former Sima kingdom region of the Ende Federation, which has its edge in the uprising from famine. The locust infestation made crops impossible and many hungry people died, and the hungry people demanded food supplies and tax exemptions from the government, which turned them into riots because they did not get enough answers. From the argument that "the current government is not qualified to be a leader who cannot support the people" to the argument of "rebuilding the former Sima kingdom", it developed into a civil unrest.
Perhaps one of the reasons is that the current Ende leadership is a canine, and the sled did not fit with the people of the former Sima kingdom who had long received the cat tribe in the royal family. Well, Jerkin's agent incited me to do that. Dogs and cats will always be controversial. Me? "Overwhelming Innu, so there's room for others." In other words, "Mohrist."
And no matter what you hide, the rightful heir to the throne of the old Seema kingdom was Argna, our hungry cat! A lot has happened, and now the whole family is my slave. The whole former royal family has been enslaved as ex-slaves, which makes the world think it's not going to be a mom. I still can't think of a future to be a dad. Because I am a child.
For me, who likes wanko and nyako, the current state of Ende is not very obvious. So I sent word to Ende that I was protecting the survival of the former Seema royal family.
Many people will miss the old days or feel authoritative about the old dynasty. It is a prospect that if these people leave Ende and gather here in Dorton, the scale of the civil unrest will be reduced. At the very least, we can't ignore the royal retrospective. There's a clear flaghead there.
That's how the cats gathered here. The minority of humans are probably related to their husbands, wives, and cats. You're not a moffist, you're a chemon.
"There must be a problem! The fact that the original Royal Seema family has been enslaved is not acceptable! I demand immediate release!
Another Cat male approached from the group. The semi-long blonde hair is mixed with black hair. Tiger hair? The look on your face... well, can I just say good-looking somehow? Because cats have many rounded faces, there aren't many gorgeous beauty types. Toby also feels a bit loose, similar to Japan 01. This one looks like a cherry blossom. The group is a little different.
"Who?"
"He is the aristocrat of the Old Shema Kingdom....."
"I was born prime minister in the kingdom of Sima, and the famous Earl of Ubow is Casper-de-Ubow!
"I'm an ex-country. The defeat destroyed all the aristocracy of the Kingdom of Sima."
"Ah, don't say anything extra! If the royal family survives, the aristocracy that supports it will not perish! You're the Baron of Face!? You're still a child! Well, let the rabbits go, the horns, the princess and her family go! Oh, you black hair, you're Princess Anastasia! I will release you from this pervert immediately, so please be patient for a while! And rebuild the kingdom with me!
Oh, my God, it's hot and bitter. Moreover, there was no courtesy or diplomacy in giving orders unilaterally to nobles in other countries.
"Agna, I'm telling you.
"It's an extra favor. What does it mean to rebuild the kingdom now?"
When I checked with Argna, it was nothing. Anyway, Argna already has enough savings to buy herself back. If you don't like slaves, you can quit anytime. I'm just staying here because our rice is delicious. Seems like a cat.
"Because. That's why you have to give up and go home.
"Oh, my God! Poor thing, you're brainwashed! Do something terrible! It's okay, I'll get rid of this one and let you go now!
No, this guy, this conversation doesn't work. Sometimes, you're the one who's finished with his own world. Especially in the high consciousness system, and when we work together, we don't get depressed. Is he conscious, too? Because an incompetent conscious system is evil.
High consciousness tiger hair pulls out the thin sword (Rapier) at the waist with high consciousness system operation. It is a conscious thin sword with a sheath and grip and decoration. Yeah, it sounds incompetent.
Sudden occurrence of Shuraba (?), and the cats who were gathered were standing up. Yeah, that looks like a normal cat. Dust.
On the other hand, my people drive normally except for Jasmine's sister. I am not particularly in a hurry, but I am usually watching from behind. Did you think it would take time, Woo-chan? It's already round on the ground. Tarojiro was there, dressed the same. Pee-chan also joined in, turning it into a treasure of three dog balls and one tri-gold. Heal it. Take a snapshot.
"Hey Beat, what's going on!? It's suddenly like a duel! This is where you come in!
"No, why is Jasmine here? It's not a big deal, so keep an eye on it."
"What, it's boring already! Let's get this over with!
He wasn't worried about me. I don't know, but he just wanted to intrude. Are you KOF's giraffe? Ja-ja-jar?
"Let me ask you something. Should we be dealing with him?
"No, it's fine. You won't be convinced if I don't do it."
That's right. We'll prepare stretchers and first aid in case Mr. Beat overdoes it. "
"" Yes. ""
Everyone is heading towards the carriage. I don't seem to worry about myself. Hi, I don't think I'm going to be in danger in battle. In a way, I'm trusted, as usual, but I'm a little lonely.
Hmm!
Tiger hair came in and threw one hand at him. Looks like you know how to use the Fine Sword. I didn't get lost and didn't speak up before the attack. They're going to kill me for real. Does this guy have experience in battle?
A short scream rises from the cats that were watching. But it's okay, because I can see the signs properly.
Walk under the thrust and dive into the tiger's hairs. With that momentum, use the springs on your knees and hips to thrust the head of your body into the dove tail. I don't suppose you didn't expect me to fight back, the lost tiger hair eats it to Moro. It's convenient when you're small.
"Ufu!?"
○ It's not the same as ku.
He moans and his tiger hair flies to a height of about three meters. But unfortunately, neither Xu nor Gu has the ability to fly. It just falls when it goes up. Beautifully rotates half a turn, falls from back to ground, bounces big once and bubbles up.
Tiger hair does not move. Looks like he lost his mind. You didn't have the guts to strike.
The cats are staring at me stupidly. A moment has passed and you don't understand what happened.
"Well, who else would like to say something? Do you mind if I use my powers?
The cats shook their heads together as I strove to speak smellily. There seems to be no new challenger. Did I scare you a little too much? But if this happens, no one will come out to hurt me for a while. That tiger hair is depressing but helpful.
Have you noticed the noise outside the castle gate? The two gatekeepers are coming this way. It's a hassle, but I need to explain by handing over the tiger hair. I can't let the deputy ignore the process. I can't help it, I just got out, but I think we should go back to Dorton.
I'm a little late for my departure, but I'm not in a hurry. We just have to get there before the groceries rot.
"I'm glad we got one stretcher."
Is that right?
