Kikanshita Yuusha no Gojitsudan

Episode 179: The Brave Proposition III

Two motorcycles walk down the Great Plains.

One is my riding DT200WS and the other is Tier's riding D-tracker X.

The place running is the city near the former border with the Empire, about 200 kilometers further northwest from Fristel.

The empire, which has lost so much in its invasion operation against the kingdom of Arianas, has abandoned some of the territories it has conquered in the past, mainly in areas where the independence movement has become stronger, reducing the national territory by about 30% from the original prints.

Apparently, the inability to maintain territory because of the loss of many soldiers is the apparent reason, but they did not allow independence with regard to the main ports, the cities where the trading hubs are located, the lands where the mines are included, and instead carried out gas extraction by disposing of large numbers of lords and bureaucrats who were tyrannical.

Well, I have no idea what you're thinking about, that prince, no, he's already an emperor, so he's pretty alert to His Royal Highness Leon, but so far, he just seems to be on the run to rebuild within the empire.

Well, that doesn't matter this time.

I just explained at the end because the place on my way is the former imperial territory, a forest zone that does not currently belong to practically any country.

This forest zone, in fact, is where non-universal races such as the Orcs, Dwarves and Elves, who were persecuted within the Empire or dispossessed of their lands, lived in hiding.

And it is also where Tia lived in the village where she lived with her family.

Regardless of whether it was a good idea to successfully propose to Xi last time, I was able to greet your parents with that flow.

As you know, my father ran out of butches and rammed, but he decided to be beaten that this would also be necessary as one separation. Face all you want.

Stat, even if the average person beat me with a wooden knife, I would not suffer much damage, so naturally nothing happened, but if you beat me up, it doesn't work either.

Face is surprisingly stiff. My father, who is not particularly experienced in martial arts, sprained his wrist the moment he beat things brilliantly, further fractured his middle finger. Give me a hand with that too.

My mother said, "I deserve it, so you can leave me alone," but it would be an obstacle to my job, and I magically cured it because I thought I'd have to talk any day if I was going to be a "family” with fame.

Well, I was terribly surprised.

Mm, the explanation of the circumstances was then transferred to the kingdom of Arianus with all the Kudo family.

Explore the face to face with the King & Queen and the mansion given to you.

As a result, your mother completely mingled with the queen, and the faithful wanted to be able to use the magic themselves (because Ceci had made them use it), and your father graduated.

In your father's case, you wake up and you say, "That was just a hallucination! He insisted."

It's just, well, it's perfectly alright to assume that, for now, we've been able to finish a major event about Ceci.

I guess there will be another commotion when it comes to production (weddings), but I'll decide to think about what's ahead later.

And again, as I said last time, I have three more girlfriends, and if I were to propose to Ceci, I can't even not do it to Leiria, Tia, or Mel.

So I also talked to Sy and told Tia next, so.

Don't tell me to make my own decisions.

There's no way I have high tech for extracting four women.

As I've told you before, Tia was captured in an imperial slave hunt.

Most people in the village were also caught together at that time, and many men and most of the elderly who resisted were killed, apparently. And Tia's family, too.

We met after that, when the slave hunters took the captured beasts out of the woods and were traveling in carriages like convoys, they turned back because they attacked me and Mel, Bruno, who were camping in a joint camp (a well-kept place in several parts of the street), scratching their greed.

Well, we were simply rendered incapable of combat, but you were crucified by the liberated beasts. It's good because I wasn't willing to stop or sympathize.

Oh, I missed the point.

That's why we're going to Tia's family's grave this time, and it's an operation where we manage to look at opportunities and propose.

I could also go with metastatic magic, but it was a bike trip with a date if it was a cut that would boost the mood a little bit.

By the way, Tier's D-tracker is changing tires and setting from on-road to off-road.

... Your father's guidance was strict. I don't know, I still doubt it needs to be adjusted to that much detail.

"Uh, you're walking from here"

When he arrives by the woods, he relies on Tia's memory to get to where he can go by bike, and where his descendants have become depressed, he treats the bike to an item box.

This is where it was originally hidden. There was no road built, and I hear there were not enough people to maintain the village because of the slaughter of the slave hunt and they abandoned it.

I came to the village as soon as I freed Tia and the others to help bury and relocate those killed, but more than two years have passed since then.

Perhaps the site of the village has been swallowed up by the forest.

We have to find it somehow.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, that?

About an hour into the woods.

That's all? Don't say that.

The two brave men aren't traveling at the same speed. Maybe, but there should be thirty kilometers in from the streets along the forest. but I don't care about that now.

I was relying on my memory to look for a village in Tia's hometown, but when I approached the place, there were signs of multiple people.

Even so, it's not like you're hiding and ambushing us, it's like you're living there.

It became all the more obvious when we came to a place where we could finally see the village that was supposed to have become abandoned.

The abandoned house is repaired and dotted with prudent fields.

At least it wasn't the miserable village I saw or the forgotten abandoned village, it was as if nothing had happened, no, there was a settlement bigger than then.

"Liar... everyone should have left..."

Tia also has a stunning view of the village.

"Who!!

In the middle of farming, a villager with a wooden bamboo walks through a field bamboo, notices us, shouts out loud, and who does what?

We weren't even noticed because the demons had noticed us and killed the signs so we wouldn't fight in vain, but they seemed to have leaked the signs because they were flabbergasted to see the situation in this village.

In the voice of the villagers, several human beings run over with farm tools, axes and bamboos from all over the village.

From what I've seen, they're all beasts, and besides the same species as Tia, there are other species such as dog-werewolf and monkey races.

"Who is it! Oh, you, hey, Tia, huh?

The first to find us, a villager about twenty years old looks at Tia's face seriously and squeals.

"Huh? Oh, could it be, Zella?

"Oh, oh, really, Tia, what is it?

I compare the villagers to Tia's face.

Apparently I know him.

Does that mean that the people who were supposed to have left the village were back here at some point?

Nevertheless, a young man called Tia and Xela who joyfully joined hands for an unexpected reunion.

... I don't know, don't mock me.

No, jealousy or something, you're too small for me.

"Zella, do you know him?

"Oh! It's Tia freed from the slave hunt with us. I'm from this village."

One of the villagers who has gathered, a magnificent man believed to be a dog werewolf breed (a beast race with canine characteristics in the body), asks Xela, who also affirms if asked.

"Hold on! When I said tier, I said I saved the world by becoming a warrior's squire after I was freed from the slave hunt..."

"?! Oh yeah! Tia, why are you here? Stay with the brave ones."

"Yeah. I'm still with you, Master Yuya."

"Well, not now,... not now?

Come here, Zella. Your gaze finally turns towards me.

... you were so forgotten, me.

"Yu, yu, yu yu, brave man huh?!

"Huh?! This is better?

After a moment of silence, a screaming voice sounds, first you, Zera, and then the villagers who were gathering together lay flat together.

No, stop, I'm in such a terrible trouble.

"Hey, forgive me for what an apology..."

"No, no, no, no, because I don't care! Because I'm not angry at you! Please don't be grounded or anything!!

I chaosed for a while.

"Were you?"

"Yes, it doesn't change that you have to hide and live when you're liberated, and you can't afford it where you accepted it, and after that, every time the slave hunt is about to approach the settlement, you have to run away, and you rendezvous with people of other races who were fleeing the same way along the way, and you end up back"

He lived in a settlement that he had accepted for about a year since he broke up with us, but he managed to escape after being sniffed out by slave hunting there as well.

After that, he got lost while changing his residence over and over and came back here about six months ago to rebuild the village.

The settlers who were accepting me have been evacuating with me, and the population is considerably larger than in the previous villages because they joined other races who had been forced to live in wanderings for similar reasons, and now they are focusing on pioneering?

Xela, I hear you were also one of those beastmen that was captured as a slave then.

There must have been nearly twenty beasts who did manage to free themselves, but I just don't remember the faces of all of them. On the contrary, Xela, you seem to remember my face. [M]

They were quite oblivious to public opinion because the others were wandering through the woods on a rolling basis, but still heard that the Evil God had been defeated and that the Empire had lost to the kingdom of Arianus to free all slaves.

Maybe I had a chance to hear from the slaves of the liberated beast man. Maybe some of them could have come back to this village. Zella, you gave me a few names, and Tia's surprised and happy to hear about it.

The reason we visited this village, Tia's parents' grave, was that you would continue to guide us. [M]

The place where we buried the victims was supposed to be off the village at the time, but now they're close to the center of the village because the surroundings have been opened.

When we actually arrive, a joint cemetery is created in a well separated manner.

Even so, it does not mean that tomb markers are individually erected, but that burned and crushed remains are buried together to avoid undead, and flowers are planted throughout the monuments and sites that engrave the names of the sacrificed villagers and newly buried people.

I imagined a scenario where tomb marks were left to be buried in a desolate abandoned village, so I was overshadowed in a good way.

"Oh, you know, Tia! This is how the village is coming back to normal, and the Empire's slave hunt is gone. So, why don't you come back? Then everyone would be happy, and even me, you know, me, I've been talking about Tia for a long time...!?

Oh, come on, the killer leaked.

All of a sudden Zella dictated Tia in front of me, just a little bit, no really just a little irritated, I accidentally stared, and as a result, I'm a little killer...

Tia doesn't regret seeing me like that because she's been happily hugging me in the arm. Yeah.

Tia's mine. Don't do it!

Zella, who was killed and hardened, once left you alone, we go to the front of a monument erected in the middle of the joint cemetery.

The tablet was plated about 150 cm long and 100 cm across, and Bruno made it by slashing the rock that was nearby with a sword.

Already, I was surprised where the rocks were cut like butter.

Hmm, I magically engraved the letters out of the names of those who had been sacrificed to the surviving villagers.

Now it's not thicker and smoother than the other two tablets, just what I cut and made with my sword, but it still seemed to have been done with the utmost care and a lot of names engraved on it. Maybe the rendezvous people carved out the names of those who have sacrificed in the past.

As a custom of the beasts, they sow flower seeds around them instead of offering them to the deceased. If that does bud, it'll be more gorgeous than serving cut flowers.

I knelt in front of the monument, thinking that there was no such benefit, and put my hands together.

(Tia's father, mother, Tia will always be happy with me, no, we will. Please keep an eye on him. And, uh, Tia, I'll take it from my wife. I'm glad you forgive me)

When I prayed like that without speaking up, I felt signs of laughter and discontent from somewhere.

... maybe it's your fault.

Even as I stood up, Tia kept kneeling and praying with her hands together for a while.

As I stepped back and stared behind it, I was getting more and more nervous.

Okay, I'll tell you what.

Uh, I can't get my heart out.

Tia gets up and turns around on me.

You were able to talk to your parents fully, somewhere satisfied, happy, smiling a little shy.

Look at that face, it calms me down softly.

When you take the case of the ring from the item box and pick the contents with your fingers, take Tier's hand.

"Eh, it's kinda hard to say it again.... Phew... Tia!

"Yes!

"Oh, I want you to have my baby! A lot!"

I said one breath!

What do you say to that as a proposal word? I don't think so, but 'I want you to have your own child', regardless of race, seems to be the best courtship for the Beast clan.

I interviewed several Beast women, so I'm pretty sure, I'm sure.

It was hard for me to almost be mistaken, but, well, that would be good.

Think of it, I became a lover against Tia in a way that responded to my thoughts, but I didn't actively say or act on anything from me.

I don't feel like I've had all sorts of embarrassing dialogues on the bed, but that would be different again.

I'm sure I won't be hated, but I still gently insert the ring into Tia's left-hand pharmacopoeia finger while I have a slight anxiety given my words and actions and the fact that I have other lovers.

And when I finally saw Tia's face, my moist eyes and bright red face were there.

... Eh, what do we do now?

When I was lost in my next move, Tia jumped into my chest.

"Yes! Yes!! I have always been on your side! I'll have lots of kids too! Because I will never leave!!

Did you over-excite your emotions, Tia, who is holding her full strength as she deludes her face with tears and runny nose.

Waiting for Tia to calm down while gently stroking her head, Tia finally smiled like a flower so she gently held her shoulder and turned her back to the joint cemetery.

and a large number of villagers around the cemetery?

Zella, who is falling from her knees in the middle of the entrance, and the beasts of the village who are looking at us with some sparkling eyes.

Hey, they were watching it all, huh?
