It Is A Different World And Yet I Am Cultivating Monsters

"I see. So Tsurugi's abilities are like spatial transfer?

"It's a little different, to be exact, but the status quo doesn't matter. I can move around instantly wherever I can. However, there are only a limited number of people who can travel, and it is impossible to travel to places where my perception is hindered."

"In summary, is that it? The important place in the emperor's castle has a barrier that prevents you from recognizing it, so you can't rescue the hostages directly in the room, right?

"That's what it is. That's Kyo-san's sister, her head turns fast."

"Kukuku, this is the basics of cooking."

For the time being, neither Amaness nor Tsurugi has been brainwashed, so we are holding a joint operation meeting.

According to Tsurugi, about a week after the advance team withdraws, the main body will attack this demon king castle.

However, on the contrary, it meant that the defense of the Imperial Castle would diminish, and it was decided to drop the Imperial Castle at once with Tsurugi's ability.

"Well, of course, the Emperor will know my betrayal, so I don't think he's leaving the main force behind in the castle."

"The main force over there... the seven remaining brave men"

"Emperor Rostam, his brother Zahaq, Felid, known as the Hero Brave, and...."

"Lily, is that you?"

Probably none of them are half as powerful. On the other hand, this is Amaness, the only one of the seven brave men who will be able to fight.

Tsurugi said that he would not directly help in this battle, but on the contrary, it would not be enough for the Emperor.

"Still... I can't believe one of the Seven Braves was that Felid."

I knew that he was there.

A mysterious young man Lily had picked up before. I got into trouble for a while and got along in casual conversations.

Fuck, I thought he was one of the few same-sex friends since I came to this world, but he wasn't one of the seven brave men, and he was a brave man on the emperor's side.

"... I wonder if he was brainwashed by the Emperor."

The person I know as Felid is a good young man whose words like heroes and braves suit me well.

Probably more suitable for standing as a protagonist than me.

There is no other reason why he is under the emperor.

That's what I thought.

"What do you think? I don't think the Emperor uses his abilities for that type of thing."

Yes?

Suddenly, a line that I don't know is released from Tsurugi.

But there was something caught in the line.

"Tsurugi, what does that mean?

"No, as he used to say, what I really want is a presence that does not brainwash itself with abilities and strives to get underneath itself. In the first place, there was a feeling that he denied that his brainwashing ability was not a royal road."

I don't know how to deny my abilities by myself.

Though I thought so, it seemed that the question that caught me in my chest came out of my mouth.

"... yes, there are many parts of his behavior that don't make sense. Amaness, you said he's been running skirmishes against your country, right?

"Oh, yeah. What's wrong with that?

"At that point, I thought something was wrong. If he was capable, he wouldn't have to do that in the first place."

Yes, perhaps Rostam's ability to dominate the strategy itself is the greatest of the Seven Braves.

With that capability, it should be possible enough to reach out to dominate and brainwash the country's hub without having to bother to compete. But...

"Sure. But I also heard Tsurugi say earlier about the temperament of the Emperor's brave man. Maybe it's because of that, but I thought he was just enjoying the skirmish itself. There will be a real sense of accomplishment that can be gained by fighting with your own strength rather than using your abilities to tackle easily. Both I and he are brave in that respect. That's why I thought he wouldn't use his abilities in battle with me....."

"Don't let that contradict you again. About Lily."

Yes, if he really wants to go to war on his own, wouldn't he rather brainwash Lily than get out of his way?

... no, it's not.

Looking back at Lily's secret the other day, it leads to an answer.

"... but I don't know about Amaness, but he set me up to imitate him from the royal road. That's enough. If I wanted to blow him up."

Yes, I don't know about Amaness, but at least he crossed the line against me.

To be honest, until I attended that meeting, I had only the feeling of being a pussy to the Emperor Brave.

Even if it was an enemy of Amaness, my perception that it was my enemy was weak, and I had no reason or motive to hate it.

However, after that meeting, I have enough reason to recognize him as an enemy and stick my fist in him just for what he would have done.

Not to mention me, he hurt my precious companion's whereabouts. That alone should never be forgiven.

"Well, I don't care about his thoughts at this time. The point is, we just have to take him down."

Everyone here agrees with the Amaness statement. However, there are still elements that cannot be ignored.

"The problem is the Emperor himself, but Lily's ability to fight and... the two remaining abilities are unknown."

Yes, there is a difference in combat power at the moment, but it is amazing that there is still a trump card in the other abilities.

Whether Lily or Amaness or Rostam, the abilities of the Seven Brave are clearly much greater than the abilities of the individual. If there are two of them left, it is dangerous to enter enemy territory like this.

At the very least, if you know what the other person's abilities are, you may be able to take action.

So I murmured, and Tsurugi answered lightly next door.

"I know Felid's abilities, so why don't you tell me?

"Heh? Seriously?

"Magical."

Seriously? This guy doesn't teach me anything like this.

But you won't answer anything about yourself.

She didn't tell me why she kissed me earlier or who she was.

Well, when I asked why I kissed her, her face turned bright red enough to get past the robe, so she was cute there.

"His abilities are, in a word, evolutionary."

What? Yuko?

"In other words, the more you are pushed, the better your abilities and skills will be, the more you will wake up, and the more you will wake up. In other words, it's a heroic privilege. It's a skill."

Uh, what a convenient skill like that protagonist.

I mean, that's it, right? Something strange happens when the enemy is about to do it, wakes up and flips it?

Like a golden vegetable man or a leading role in fighting a golden armor. Once eaten, it doesn't work anymore.

The more you fight, the better it evolves.

"Something like that convenient protagonist ability. It's against the rules."

and my sister, who is familiar with kitchen two, was also instantly pushed in.

Mm-hmm. But this is definitely against the rules. As long as the allies have it, it's the enemy's ability.

It means I can't beat him. No, to be precise, there's some kind of convenient power up going around, isn't there? I don't think so.

"I see. In that case, I'm the only one who's qualified for him."

And one person who has heard so much gives you a name.

Ah, you are.

"Dear Kyo, Can I take care of him?

Me and Hel met that confident person unexpectedly, but soon afterwards, they convinced me.

I see. I see. Sure, it's the only one that can cross this member.

If you specialize in crossing rather than defeating.

"Okay. Then I'll take care of him."

I nodded quietly at the words.

What remains is Zahak's ability to be the brother of the Emperor's brave, but Tsurugi did not answer about him.

Perhaps there is a reason you don't know or can't talk about it.

In any case, when you enter Imperial Castle, it is important who is in charge of which opponent.

I want you to come with me and Jack and the Four Heavenly Kings.

"... what are you going to do about it?

As a snow witch, Jesus is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, but he was originally bad at fighting.

As a result, he did not participate in the battle between humans and monsters until now and was far from fighting alone in the snow mountains.

This case is like our situation. If you think about it, it's completely irrelevant and you don't need to get involved in the battle. But...

"... I'm going too..."

Yee-chan murmured with such a small voice, but her eyes were filled with an eye of unprecedented determination.

"Phytis... promised to cook with me again...... ah, that guy... he's my friend... whoa!... that's why I'm going to help my friends... that's not irrelevant... that's why I'm going with you...!

Jesus' eyes were so determined that he would not regret jumping into the battle he feared in order to regain his friends who had been taken away.

That's right. She acted desperately for her friend Doriard before.

Reasons for this child to act. That's enough for my friends.

"Oh, okay. Then let's go together."

That said, me and Easy hold hands and spread the last packing of the invasion operation toward Imperial Castle.
