"Hey, General. Are you sure you can beat the Menmen?
"What is it, Vargas? Don't say that after you've left."
"Because everyone thinks so. The Menmen have 40,000 troops, right? Besides, they say there's 100,000 of them. Everyone will wonder. I wonder if we can really win with about 2,500 Vulcan troops."
Well, you can't win if you do it normally.
"Right? But I was wondering if you had an idea about the general. What are you gonna do about it?
"Anyway, I will continue my army and assault House Menmen. Speaking of which, that's all."
"... is there no solution?
"Yes, I do. In other words, a solution has been activated to fit the House of Menmen. I don't think we're going to be able to move properly by now.
"Is the solution already active? Maybe the general himself set fire to the Menmen's pantry the other day?
"That's right. At that time, in addition to setting the fire, I took measures. It's probably going well."
"... hey, I knew you were going to attack from the beginning, General. So, what strategy did you use?
"It's easy. I did the same thing I did when I killed the dogs that nested in the mine."
"What? Is that a dog man? An iron mine monster in the Baltic Knight's with a part-time job?... you must have poisoned it.
"Correct. Probably the Menmen will be poisoned by now. I thought it would be a good time to buy time, but it was also a good time to attack. That's why I set out."
The 2500 Vulcans march toward the Menmen's army.
Vargas, commander of the army, came rushing over here to talk to me.
Apparently, I want to know what you're going to do to me to set us up against the overwhelming number of people.
Thank you for following me without complaining when you leave and listening while you're on the move.
Without wasting any time, I began to give Balgas an overview of the operation.
I built a new airship and used it to scout the Menmen's army.
The airship itself was able to operate properly, flying through the sky and grasping the opponent's full story.
And we set fire to the gathering points that were gathering food to slow down the Menmen's progress.
However, I was unable to bake all of the other party's food.
Sometimes the magic used for ice magic used to bake has a bottom.
But that's why I didn't do anything about the food I couldn't cook.
I sprayed poison on other foods.
Nearly half of the army's food was lost to the Menmen.
Carlos said a house as big as the Menmen could cover temporarily lost food, but it would be difficult to deal with it immediately.
Collect food from the surroundings against the backdrop of overwhelming power while managing to eat with the remaining food.
I think that's all I can do.
That's why I poisoned the rest of the food.
The Menmen are probably eating the poisoned food.
Just like the dogs who lived in the mine.
We split up the food that we thought was safe, and we eat it together.
However, normally, I think that if there is burnt food and food left behind, the remaining ones will also be considered dangerous.
Especially this time, a mysterious flying object passed through the sky and sprayed something.
The Menmen should be careful.
However, I still believe that the chances of success of this poisoning operation are quite high.
Because there is a "safety myth" in this world that did not exist in the previous life.
It is strongly imprinted on most people's perception that "food is safe if it is not rotten".
In this case, whether or not it is rotten is judged by color, smell, etc.
In other words, food that is not discolored or smells like rot is considered safe.
Why is that?
In fact, this recognition was greatly involved in the [cleansing] of life magic given by the church.
The magic of Clean is a magic that removes the object's dirt.
If you use Wash on a person's body, it becomes so beautiful and clean that you don't need to take a bath.
Conversely, if you just [wash] the house, it will be as clean as new in no time.
And this [wash] was also used for food related purposes.
Washing food before cooking removes all dirt that affects the human body.
I'm not sure how right it really is because I haven't made a microscope yet, but based on previous experience, food cooked after using Wash didn't cause food poisoning.
However, it is not the case when the food itself is old and rotten.
Something so rotten as to smell will adversely affect the human body even if it is [washed].
In other words, food can smell the smell, and if there is no rotting smell, it can be eaten safely by [washing].
Actually, it's also a countermeasure to poison.
Unless you are eating food that is originally poisonous, food that is poisoned is almost safe if it is [washed] before cooking and dishes are [washed].
In other words, it was common sense in this world that even if something was sprayed from an airship and it was on our army's food, there would be nothing wrong as long as it was [washed].
However, the poison I sprayed was a poison that slipped through its [washing] effect.
Together with Meem, I created the magic of [poison deactivation] as a countermeasure to poison. I was taught the existence of poison that can be poisoned by ignoring the work of such [cleaning].
However, the poison could only be obtained under very rare conditions and could not be prepared in large quantities.
But it was possible in Vulca to prepare it.
Whatever you hide, the secret was in my brother Kyle.
This was made possible by Kyle's contract with the Wooden Spirit in the northern forest.
It was also possible to mass produce special poisonous herbs that disregarded the work of Cleaning and produced poisonous effects if they were tree spirits.
But it's not that poison that's so powerful if it's consumed less.
Something that causes you to go down for a while at most and have diarrhea and become dehydrated.
I thought it could be used to buy time to keep the Menmen from moving, and it was loaded onto an airship.
Does the Menmen, unlike the dogs, have access to poisoned food?
"Master Ars, we have received word from an advance scout unit. Apparently, the Menmen are moving very slowly."
"I don't know what the plan is, Vargas. The opponent is slow. We should be able to bridge the number gap. Let's go."
"As usual, you're a wild animal, General. Well, that's what it feels like. All right, let's go back to the general. I'll slap the Menmen."
"" "" "" Oh!
Thus, Barca attacked the immobile Menmen's army.
