Monster no Goshujin-sama

Three.

The next day, as declared, Iino left for us.

The plan is to return to Serratta, the city on the Empire's Earl of Lawrence territory, and after questioning Lewis, a subordinate of the Macrolin Border Uncle, join an expedition in the midst of being called to the Empire.

Neither do we have a reason to be ruining our time in this place forever.

In the opposite direction to Iino, who returned to the Empire...... he began his journey again towards Akel, a small country, the home of Silan and Kay.

Our Kittles Mountains are steep mountains with one of the tributaries of the Great River Alaria.

The steeply heaven-piercing mountains separate Count Lawrence's territory in the southern part of the empire from Keddles, one of the five northern realms to the southwest of it.

To the west of this Earl of Lawrence territory and Keddles are the Earl of Long territory and Akel, respectively.

So far we have walked along the border between Count Lawrence and Keddles along the Kittles Mountains stretching northwest.

It's about time we plugged into the boundary between Count Long's territory and Akel.

Speaking of very cluttered, draw a bat on the map, the center of which is the current location.

It is easy to understand if you consider that there is Count Lawrence territory to the east, Akel, a destination to the west, Long Count territory to the north and Keddles to the south.

As we continue northwest along the border between Count Long's territory and Akel, the tributaries of the Great River Alalia will form the boundary instead of the Kittles Mountains.

There, he said, is a 'coma forest', a clipping edge of the leftover tree sea, spreading as it partitions Count Long's territory from Akel.

The coma forest is home to powerful monsters of sedentarity, often the cause of the inability to cut and expand the forest.

We may meet rare monsters, queen monsters, or monsters we call high monsters that could be family members.

I definitely want to extend my legs.

Nevertheless, as you can see from the contact with Gabella, contact with powerful monsters involves more or less risks.

After you've settled down on Akel, you'd better head for it in a full state.

In the meantime, the current situation is of paramount importance in the pursuit of Akel.

Fortunately, the journey went well.

There is no such thing as a big breakdown in the weather, or an incident as' Wewaten 'raids.

... Well, I have trouble getting that to happen.

The expedition will be fine for now, because there is no more hostility to Iino, who was the starting point.

There are no more opponents with causes like pure Takaya.

If you dare to mention it, it's about Kudo Lu, the same 'monster user' as I am, but the way I felt when I met him before, at least for now, it doesn't seem like he would ever strip me of his fangs.

In fact, all that hit me on the road were regular monsters.

Although encounters are somewhat more frequent, this is due to the fact that there are not many mountain paths in the Kittles Mountains and the location is close to the tree sea, where many monsters live.

In terms of dealing with that, there is no problem first, as the recovered gabella is strained.

... Seeing her strained, she's going to make some mistakes one day, and even a little harrassment inside, but so far, the mountain road hasn't broken down.

Even with regard to the perimeter alert, he has a silane with a high ability to oppose enemies by the Spirit and a sharp abstinence in smell.

There was no danger to the journey, which is why I could say that it was time to think ahead.

Early in the morning, after I had Silan put on an archery of swords.

Rose, who was dealing with me for a mock fight, left, and I cut out the story to Siran, anticipating when we were alone.

"Divide into two hands and go down the mountain, to town......?

Siran, who had worn knight armor exactly in the morning, opened his eyes to a slight surprise.

"That's right. To some extent, at a point close to Akel, I think I'm going to split it into two hands. I mean, I have to. We don't have a car right now."

"... I see"

Becoming an imaginary face, Silan nodded.

"Sure. Without a car, Lord Gabella or Abandon can't avoid the eyes. Regardless of the unpopular mountain trails, is it possible to use the streets, let alone enter the town, etc."

"If you want to add, Lily still takes time to recover, too. Either way, you're a fine member of town, and you need to go get a car."

"So I thought I'd split it between the two hands somewhere along the way,"

"That would be faster. Finally, we can raise supplies."

Although some of the supplies flown into the river were recovered, the food relationship is rather harsh.

It was the current situation that was reversing my nostalgic survival life.

Also, from the aftermath of the battle with the Mad Beast, Lily has not yet recovered and has only limited use of her pseudo abilities.

Her original speed of travel, which is slime, is so slow that she was now on the move by getting into an impromptu trolley built by Rose with her luggage and having Garbera pull it off.

Nevertheless, this does not translate into no speed.

So we split into two hands, and the first of us get the car and come back.

While you go and come back, you can ask Lily and the others to follow the rest slowly.

"... I think we can have the car because we have the military funds the captain gave us"

Silan's tone was cautious.

"However, something as big and sturdy as that can be difficult. That car prepared by the captain was a military vehicle. Besides, Akel is rural compared to the Empire, so cars are mostly only available for second-hand items with the year."

"I'm fine. Because you don't have to get the car itself. Because Rose says that the analysis is progressing to the point where the rest of the car can be made while adjusting itself, as long as there is a dedicated demon stone that is the power source"

"That's... amazing"

"He was depressed when it came to things he couldn't make from scratch."

Having heard my words of comfort, Rose was willing to try and make something that would be as fast as the automobiles in our world.

At that time, he was clenching his fist that Gabella would make it into a body that wouldn't break even if he wielded it in his hand.

I think Rose is cute in these places.

Cars aren't blunt weapons, to the point of inadvertently spouting the word.

"I understand Takahiro's thoughts."

For a little while, Siran looked up, looking like he was leaning over and thinking.

"So you're saying I'll accompany you there?

"Oh, I want to ask you. If I don't, I won't be able to have a proper conversation with the people in town."

This is how I almost forget I'm talking to Silan, but this is a different world. Without demonic stones, it is a land of aliens whose words cannot be understood.

For once, we've been taught how to use The Devil's Stone of Translation lately, but honestly it was subtle if we could make it.

"Besides, I need you to help Silan, a native of Akel, figure out how to get the Demon Stone."

If we cross the country, customs will change.

Not to mention, this is a different world.

Without Syran's help, who knows what he's doing, the difficulty is different.

Previously, while traveling within the Empire, he was taught, for example, how to behave in an accomodation town.

So when it came to human society in different worlds, it was a natural flow to ask Silan to cooperate.

"What do you say, can't you ask?"

"It's..."

But Silan's response was unexpected.

Clouding your expression will distract your gaze.

Honestly, I wasn't expecting to be turned down, so I was a little surprised.

"You disagree?

"No, that's not what..."

Silan clouded his words.

Apparently, that's not the opposite.

Come to think of it, if you disagree, she'll try to convince me from the front.

But then, I didn't know more and more.

If you don't disagree with me, there's no reason why you shouldn't boil it off like this.

... Is there something wrong?

Looking out of sight at Silan's white face, I remembered nature and a few days ago.

"Sister Silan is not well."

Kay's consultation was about Silan, who admired him like his sister.

"I'm kind of worried... so I'd like to ask Takahiro about my sister!

"Hey, wait a minute"

I grabbed Kay's shoulder, and I suppressed it.

Garberas washing in the river are turning their gaze to us for something.

I waved to them that it was nothing, and then again, I turned to Kay, who put my hand on my shoulder and restrained me.

"Wait, Kay. There's nothing you can do about not listening first, is there?

"Yes. Excuse me. I ran too far ahead."

"I want you to calm down and let me talk to you. What do you mean, weird, exactly?

"It's a little difficult to be specific..."

Kay lowered her eyebrow butt and talked with her thighs.

"I wonder what to say. You haven't been acting like a sister lately... you know, she's very solid."

"Right. I don't think it's the same age."

"Yes, it is."

Kay, who made a small fist in front of his chest and snorted, turned his expression into something thoughtful.

"Yet lately, I've been feeling a lot depressed. Is it not here somewhere? It's like I've been thinking a lot."

Quietly drop your shoulders.

"Hmm."

Seeing a girl with no energy, I decided to give her a little thought.

There are a few things you can think of as causes as something wrong with Silan. Ah.

Ru.

- That he was killed once in Fort Chile.

- Being Demi Rich through death.

- That I lost the Knights that I belonged to.

In particular, shortly after the captain had been detained and left Serratta to flee, he sometimes seemed to be working a little too hard.

Back then, she was something that popped up faster than anyone when she discovered a monster with her pre-emptive foe abilities.

I felt a little jeopardized by her myself, and I was attentive.

But I can't feel those parts from the current silane.

At one point, I was also trying too hard to calm down by the time I entered the Kittles Mountains.

In fact, by this time, the battle had already begun to give way to Gabella, who was free to move because of the loss of his eyes.

The fact that in that Chilean fort, you let yourself resist unreasonable violence without shaking, while becoming an undead monster, is not Dada.

Silan is strong.

It's not just about arms, it's about minds that are strong.

The pride I have cultivated as a knight supports her.

Though...... Kay says so far, so I guess it's true to say things are weird.

Is there anything other than what I can think of?

If that's what I'm missing...

"Takahiro."

Where I'm thinking about it, Kay called me out.

"About your sister, could you please"

My eyes were glaring up at me.

"Me, my sister doesn't show her weakness... even if I ask, she just gets teased. But if Takahiro would do something about it, I..."

"Okay, sweetheart."

You can't even hear that trembling voice.

I put only a little strength in Kay's hand, which I kept on his shoulder.

"So don't look like that"

"Takahiro..."

Only if you trust me has Kay come up with this consultation.

There was no way I could have left that wish without her.

Besides, if what Kay is saying is true, I was worried about Silan.

"Let's take a look at the opportunity and ask from me -"

- Kay said there was something wrong with Silan.

Having listened to those stories beforehand may have made some of the preconceptions work, but I do find this reaction a little strange.

"Hey, Silan."

I decided to put in a little exploration.

"Is there something wrong?

……

Silan's face, which had been misplaced, turned to us.

The elf-specific clear, neat face is half covered and hidden by the eye bands.

The only thing I was peeking at was the bloodless left side.

One of the clear, faceless faces stares at me.

Set aside for a beat, Silan tilted his neck loosely.

"... What did Kay say?

"Oh, that's..."

"Again?"

I was told all the time, and when I saw my reaction stuck in words, Silan sighed.

And I bowed my head to discipline.

"Looks like that kid caused you trouble. I'm sorry."

I can't take care of him if he apologizes.

I opened my mouth when I felt bitter that you had failed, but I had to say what I had to say.

"... don't blame me for Kay. Do it. She was worried about Silan."

"I'm going to blame..."

Syran, who was about to say, whispered along the way.

"No. Right. Should I reflect on myself for worrying about her?"

Shake your head loose.

That was some kind of tired trick.

"Silan......?

"... Either way, it was time to talk to you. This could also be a good opportunity."

When I said, Silan had already switched attitudes.

The usual sharp glance is turned.

In a knightly and riddled voice, Syran told.

"Actually, I'm not feeling well."

"... what?

To Silan's confession, I whitened my head for a moment.

Where I understand it, I stuck it to her unexpectedly.

"Ya, ill, are you okay?

"Yes, I'm not worried."

In contrast to me, Siran's attitude was a taunt.

"It's not a big deal. It's just... I'm such a body too, so I guess there's something unbalanced about it. It doesn't mean you can't fight, but it's like you've lost some fighting power."

Silan made fists all the time.

"Most likely, in time, it will go back to normal. So I decided, for a little while, to see how things were going. If you talk to Takahiro before we finalize that area, you could unnecessarily worry about the Takahiro people. So I've been silent. I'm sorry."

"Is that what happened..."

I just said it, and I realized it.

"Hey, was that why you stopped coming forward in battle recently?

"Yes. Even so, I think we can still fight to the same extent as Mr. Rose. However, I was anxious in a series of wars, so I decided it would be easier to keep it out of the way if I didn't have to."

Silan's body, killed in that disturbance at Fort Chillia, with his chest stabbed with a straight sword of a cross, belongs to the undead monster.

At that time, there were some defects.

For example, once I became a ghoul and lost my reason, and soon after I regained my heart, I couldn't handle the Spirit.

So it was quite possible that the combat capability was falling for a reason around it.

Rather, it was a matter of fear from the outset that Silan's body would cause some modulation.

And yet, until now, I haven't noticed anything unwell, because Silan didn't show such a bare gesture.

Conversely, it also means that, even if the battle is somewhat hampered, it is mild malaise to the extent that it is not a problem in everyday life.

I know you're not a troubled lying kid when it comes to trouble, and it would be true that you can fight as hard as Rose.

There's no reason to bother lying about your condition.

I was reassured for a moment that what Syran said was not imminent.

Of course, we would have to be more careful from now on, but I was fortunate that it did not mean that we would be able to do something about it if we did not strike measures as soon as possible.

"Thank you for talking to me, Silan. I got the whole point."

I breathed a small, relieved exhale.

"However, if anything changes, tell me whatever that is. The only power involved in the monster is me and Kudo in this world. There may be things I can do to help."

"Thank you"

Silan bowed his head deeply.

"By the way, Takahiro. What should we do about going to town? As I told you, my combat abilities are diminishing. I still have a little anxiety that Kai and I will act together with Takahiro."

"Hmm?... Oh, you mean that"

The blunt reaction to my suggestion was that he cared about it.

Convinced, I pointed out that one thing was wrong.

"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about that."

"Say?

"The Silans are not the only ones who go with us. I'm thinking of accompanying Rose and Kato as well. And I'm going to ask Berta to escort me on the road."

By the way, Berta, who is our escort, is returning to Kudo, the Lord, on the occasion of Gabella's recovery.

He said he'd be back.

It's time to come home, so then we'll just have to split it up between our hands.

If you could help Kato move around, the itinerary would be quite accomplished.

I still don't know if you would agree, but it was my candid expectation that you would do it if I asked.

"Well, that sounds fine."

Hearing that his companion was elsewhere, Silan looked relieved.

"Then...?

"Yes."

Silan had an inclusive grin in his mouth that reassured the beholder.

"Accompaniment to town, accepted"
