Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 75: Back Shield

The Knights chief spoke out as he cleaned up the base camp with all the Knights.

"Speaking of which, Lord Mine.

I hadn't tallied the demons Lord Mine had hunted, what would you do?

I've been hunting because of you, so why don't we tally?

Right, I struggled to get rid of catfish and stuff because of it...

Let me take a look.

"If it's not a hassle, please!

"Yes, I'll be happy to tally. So can you get it out there, please?

Leave only what I hunted where they told me.

At first it was the Knights captain and the knights around him who had the look of spare time, but every time the quantity piled up, it turned into a surprise look.

"Ma, Lord Mine...... so many were really hunted?

"Yes, this kid is so good at finding demons, it didn't take long at all for the opponents!

The Knights simultaneously turn their gaze to Fenrill, the child who is ”fluffy" all over my head.

And after staring at the child Fenrill for a while, they return to the task of checking the stacked material again.

It was about 10 minutes after the Knights began their work, and the Knights chief shouted out.

"Ko, Ko, what is this?!??

I raised my voice and looked ahead the Knights Commander was pointing...... it was catfish material.

"... Lord Mine, I don't think this is... a catfish shaped demon... in catfish?

"Yes! It was Mr. Tiny Catfish!

When I responded well, Fenrir said, "Wow!" Raise one hand and claim to be right.

"... are you serious..."

Something's suddenly shattered your language, huh?

"Ha, His Highness Alto is going to press his heartbeat..."

For the Knights chief to say, anything, you catfish.

They only have a place in the past where crusade records count.

The meat tastes quite delicious because of its backbone and very elegant taste... but that's all the ingredients are worth.

No, rather, you can eat most parts of your body, so ingredients are all that this demon is worth.

But defeating him breaks a lot of bones.

Anyway, it barely comes out of the water.

It was the same when I fought, but only for a moment to come out of the water.

Besides, during that moment, he unleashes powerful magic toward us.

It's an extremely troublesome demon for humans who don't have powerful ranged attacks.

Therefore, ordinary adventurers and knights cannot defeat first.

That's why it's certainly not a delicious ingredient and it sells for a high price......

Given the hassle and damage we get, we're all distant demons.

Such a rarely seen demon is dismantled and in front of you.

Well, even the Knights Commander would raise his voice.

Still hearing the exclamation that goes up here and there on a regular basis afterwards, waiting for the end of the assessment.

It took me a while because of the amount of time, but I'm not bored at all because child Fenrir is giving me free time.

"Ooh, wow!

Speaking of which, if we're going to live together, I have a name...

I guess I'll talk to Silfi and Aisha when I get back.

With that in mind, the chief of the knights spoke in a tired voice as he puffed the meatballs of the child Fenrill.

"Lord Mine, thank you for waiting.

I got aggregate results...... just to conclude, I'm trying too hard.

First of all, the dismantling of the material is also perfect.

It was about half of the adventurers who wronged about the quantity, but it's all high scoring, strong demons.

To be honest, even if I didn't see their wrongdoing, it was Lord Mine's victory...

It's really too much. "

For some reason, I was stunned, but I worked so hard, wouldn't it be nice?

We decided to buy the materials as they were, and we went back to Wang Capital.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Then can I tell the king about Master Fenrir?

'Oh, that's fine.

Until the end of this Hume tribe, I forgive Mine specially, but I will never forgive you a second time.

Tell the king and I speak my words correctly.

If the king thinks lightly of my words... he'll regret it. "

Oh, this is serious responsibility.

If my explanation doesn't work, it could be a horrible thing, the God-beast vs. the Hume.

I'm getting pretty nervous.

'What, I don't think so deeply.

Unless you're such a fool, you'll never see the word lightly knowing it's a god beast.

If anything, tell your power to the king too.

Why don't you be my back shield?

Not to mention those who think to be hostile to those who have the shield behind Master Fenrir the Divine Beast, Kukkuk. '

What the hell are you talking about?

This god beast.

... but reveal my abilities...?

Speaking of which, you've thought about it before.

Unless you have an extra shield, you can't reveal it.

... If God Beast did, I'd say it was enough as a hindsight for as long as I had in mind.

Maybe we should break it up after marriage and break it up before marriage rather than be scared.

"... Lord Mine, Lord Mine"

"Huh?"

"Huh? It's not. Soon you will be king's capital."

They followed me to the King's Capital this morning as I was remembering when I was talking to Master Fenrill, the god beast, about the future.

... Well, I have to meet the king and tell him what God Beast Fenrill has to say.

"Wahu?

He must have been worried to see how I was.

Fenrill, a child who was not uncommonly on his head but round on his lap, licks my hand.

'... it's okay, you don't have to worry'

"Hang on, Hang on, Hang on."

Child Fenrir inspires me and makes me laugh unexpectedly.

Yeah, you are! Smiles are the best!

Anyway, it's the way we have to go someday.

The god beast under heaven will be my back shield!

I can't be happier.

Be brave, Mine!!

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Ooh, Mine! Looks like you're back safe."

The king greets me with a full smile.

I'm glad to hear that, because the outcome of this game carried it as well as I expected.

They're in progress and Claude and the others are under intense investigation.

Because we must quickly protect the young body of the dragon and return it to our parents.

... The Knights Commander was well deceptive of words, but he's probably also been tortured or something.

Though you deserve it, you're right not to ask because it's not something that feels too good.

Thanks for your consideration, Knight Commander!

"Do, it's Mine.

I heard you had something to report to me, but what was the story?

"In the meantime, it's going to be a report on this game...

If you could, could you please pay for it? "

When I say so and look around, the king lowers his proximity and moves to the royal private room.

"You can't tell a boulder to be alone. Alto, follow me."

The king tells me your brother-in-law will travel with you.

"... Well, let's hear it"

I began to speak in turn about what had happened in the Forest of the Spirit.

And talk about meeting God Beast Fenrill, about the adventurers Claude hired to put a slave collar on his child and make him hostile.

"Those big idiots!!!!

King, brother-in-law, we are all enraged by the folly of Claude and the others.

Well, naturally.

I thought the same thing...

"... well, Mine... did I mention the child of Lord Fenrill the Divine Beast?

The lazy, generous wolf on your head... no way... "

"Yes, I am the child of the Divine Beast Fenrill"

They noticed they were talking about themselves.

"Wow!" Raise your right hand and say hello.

... No, it's cute, what are you doing to the king and the next king??

And you lose interest, you start to relax on my head again.

"... and I can't believe... I didn't know there was a legendary god beast in front of me..."

I guess it was an extra shock.

We're both visibly upset, no, werewolf.

It's just that we won't be able to talk like this for long.

I'm going to push you on!

I removed three "slave collars” from the storage bag.

"My king, this is the" collar of slaves ”that was attached to this child and his brother.

I thought it might be of some help. "

I handed my collar to my brother-in-law.

"... that's definitely a" slave collar ”.

This guy's got a serial number carved in him, so he can catch the guy who flushed this to Claude and the others.

You're a good boy, brother-in-law (Mine). "

And then your brother-in-law looks at me and asks, as he suddenly remembers something.

Didn't you say "slave collar" was the only thing you could take?

Why are you off without a thing?

!! I knew you'd come!!!

Come on, be brave, Mine.

"... used my skills"

I guess it was an unexpected answer.

I didn't think I would talk about my skills. [M]

They both look at each other and look unexpected.

"... what is that? I thought you didn't want to talk about your skills.

"... yes, it does...

Can we talk about it later for now and keep reporting?

They shook their heads vertically, "Oh," prompting me to follow.

And convey to the two of you the words deposited by the Divine Beast, Master Fenrill.

"... no next time,"

"Father, wasn't I fortunate to be unhappy?

My brother-in-law (Mine) gave me permission to do this...

He says he stabbed and killed God's beast's child, but he doesn't act instantly. "

"... sure, can't you thank Mine enough"

And you called me a friend for saving a child's life.

The things the kids were supposed to miss, the things they were supposed to leave behind, and they followed.

I will talk further about my relationship with God Beast's father and son.

"... and Lady Fenrir, the Divine Beast, said:

Trying to be your back shield.

If you think it's necessary, don't be afraid to talk about your skills. "

"... God Beast will be man's, personal's... back shield, so...!!?

"Wow!

You read the story flow, kid Fenrill barks.

I affirm what I'm talking about.

"... I see, I knew you had some kind of secret about your skills...

Is it so awesome that the god beast stands up for a fool... "

I snort silently.

"Hmm, it's Mine. Can't we royalty meet God Beast before we hear about your skills?

The king seems to have come up with something, and he asks me that.

"... I don't know unless you ask, but I think it's probably okay"

Suddenly, me and the royal family were going to talk to Fenrir, the god beast.

Now, what happens?

If you wish, I hope the story comes together well.
