I asked Dr. Daniela. [M]

"So, what do you think's best to do?

"Right...... I agree with the idea of an Asagi, but from an adventurer's point of view, I think if Orc made the country, it would be a war. I don't think it's a problem to live in seclusion."

I knew it... No, that's normal. I'm a different world person, and I've read about this kind of development in blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. A demon that people abhor wants to change their own way of life. I want you to be rewarded, I think. But a raid cobolt is a no. Immediate destruction.

"I wish we could all live happily ever after. Lord Asagi, I'm glad to hear it..."

"No, I'm just dreaming too much. Never mind Arthur."

Let's see reality. This is a different world. It's a world where people live, a world that's hard on demons, and that's reality.

"Instead of creating a country, we should focus on creating an environment where we can live well without dealing with people."

And Daniela says:

"I see...... so how about we build a mobile building or something?

I remember having a nomadic way of life. [M] It's a lifestyle that travels with livestock. Sure, do you keep them from running out of livestock meals by traveling regularly...... I can't make fields or anything, but an oak probably won't be a problem.

"I see, without settling down while raising livestock...... that's a good idea!

Arthur nods yeah and thinks of the future life of an orc.

"We are an important species to eat. Oak loves meat."

"As long as we have meat, the world will be fine."

I think of the roasted meat from "Antsuka Pavilion" as Daniela nodded yeah.

"The question is whether the orcs in favor of that life are alive,"

"I don't think there's a problem with that. There would have been a split between us by the time we got here, wouldn't there?

There was. I relied on Daniela's survey to take the left staircase path. There was a flat road going on on on the right...

"That's the way to get away from here. I was digging the road so that I could escape from the settlement to the bottom of the valley when something happened to me when I built this settlement, but I met the hall malls along the way. I asked them to make my way to the bottom of the valley..."

Arthur continues with a dark face.

"Mordred's trends are getting suspicious... I was hiding and asking the hall mall. He wants me to dig a way out of here when I have to. And I'm sneaking up on the place on that road to the Orcs who can be trusted and don't want a fight. They must have escaped at the time of the coup d 'état."

Certainly some footprints led to this hole. That footprint followed from a place that could not be found without some progress along the walls of this settlement. I don't even think I can find a hidden door. I'm sure it took him two weeks to slow down after he was put in a cage and escaped in the middle of the night or some time I couldn't find him. And there was no one in the settlement. I mean, that footprint is the last group.

"And they're seeing me as I walk through here. I told him to run away now because I'm going after him one day, and he's waiting for a chance here."

"... wait, what was this cage made for, then?

That would have been all we could have done if we had made our way out. I don't need to make a cage.

"I was going to imprison Moldred. As a cell, I was hoping you could reflect... but ironically, I was the one who was put in that cage"

I say in a sigh with a smile of masochism. I see... you were about to start over. Arthur didn't just kill him because he was willing to rebel, he was trying to give him a chance.

"Hmm... then let's talk about what's going to happen. First, Arthur, you run. Moldred is crusaded by us adventurers."

"I'm just stubborn when I get out... sorry"

"Never mind. You run, you go after the people. And live free."

"Right. That's the best part. The mobile building... you'd come up with that, wouldn't you?

"Ah. Actually, I have a few ideas. I look forward to making it."

Look at Arthur speaking happily. Me and Daniela laugh laughingly. I can't believe I'm already thinking ahead and looking forward to it. Positive or what...... It's our job from here on out.

"Though that might be over by now."

"Right...... the road leading to the bottom of the valley in the settlement. I'm sure Mordred is hiding there. There's no escape."

"Humans are brilliant. We'll find him and hunt for him. Even if you don't know what's going on, the orcs are the orcs."

Sad, but that's what reality is. I want Arthur to live. I hope people don't find it, choose the option to live freely, and reassure the people.

"Well, it's time to move. Arthur doesn't have any luggage?

"There must be my sword. but...... I'm sure Moldred will have it and it won't get back in my hands"

Sword... Arthur's sword.

"Hey, is that sword possibly branded or something?

"Hmm? Oh, it's Excalibur"

"Excalibur..."

From what to what...

"By the way, Arthur, were you named after a namesake or something?

"No, he's not here. I put it on myself. This name passed my brain when I decided to be king."

"So what about Moldred? Are you an abnormal evolutionary individual like you?

"No, you're not. He's just an oak. Well, it's more of an evolved individual than an orc... but when he found out he was about to betray me and become an enemy, that name passed his brain again"

It's a fluffy reason, but don't be a little angry that it feels like it somehow. But maybe that's what it is... the knowledge they've been given. Maybe it's from Earth.

"Is it time?

"Oh, I'm sorry. The sword has already given up. I am me without a sword. Let's go."

"If Excalibur is in my hands, I'll give it to you sometime. I wish I could see you."

"Hehe, thank you Lord Asagi. I wait unexpectedly."

Expect a little!

I carefully ascended the wet and painful staircase and even came to the example split. Go right from here and Arthur will be free. We can get out of this place unwittingly.

"When you get out of here, Daniela will bury you here."

"Oh, do that. Lord Asagi, thank you for your help."

"Don't worry about the rest. Masterful."

"Oh, Lord Daniela, how are you?"

Shake hands. Oak hands are huge...... but they were sweet hands.

Slowly Arthur walks out. Moving a little further, he looks back again and again and waves back at Arthur waving his hand. Eventually the distance opened so far that even the magic props of lighting could not be seen, Arthur became invisible.

"... Now let's do what we have to do"

"Oh, apart from Arthur, orcs that flip anti-flags on humans are enemies"

We walk out, too. In the opposite direction from Arthur. Through this hole we head to the settlement. Find the hole that leads to the bottom of the valley and defeat the Mordred that lies ahead. There must be some orcs out there who agree with him. I also defeated a bunch of oaks in that valley abyss, but the orcs that escaped were still quite a few. I'm sure there's a space like a front-line base on the way to the bottom of the valley.

That's where our Oak Crusaders are scheduled for their final showdown.

□ □ □ □

Walk Ahead Hold the illuminated magic prop in your hands as you walk with Daniela. If I were to bury this place, I would have filled it up if I had walked off one by one. It is a man possessed by a waste of haunt, boss morning fog.

Gradually I crawl out of the hole while removing the last one and holding it. I put it by the nearby bush. I'll have to come here with a vain bag when I get home later... what, there's nothing wrong with even "Legs of the Forest Wolf". He's handsome.

"Asagi, I respect you."

"Oh, my God, you can light it up"

"Don't worry, it's ironic"

……

All right, then let's get Daniela to fill this place up and head straight to the settlement. I'm sure there's Virgil there, so I'll check the situation and find a hole. You just hope they haven't found it yet. Arthur's sword, I want to take it back if I can.
