Monster no Goshujin-sama

05. Crusade against herds

Five.

From the next day, we divided ourselves into the woods and began the crusade of the herds.

In addition to me, Lily, Rose, Siran, Kay, and Leah, there are ten elves in the village who are good at bowing.

Gabella and I are asked to leave a message in the village.

Just like on the road we've come this far, with Robbia on it, you won't have to worry.

By the way, Helena, Silan's childhood trainer, is also not participating.

She's good with swords, but she's not very good with bows.

With sixteen men in total, we went into the woods.

The guide to the woods was done by the elves, including Mr. Leah.

With the triple vigilance of Silan and Mr. Leah's enemy, Lily's nose, he travels through the woods carefully.

"It's time to pick up the enemy. Are you ready?

"Oh."

"Ok"

"No problem"

After we get close to the target, it's our job to take the lead.

I will carefully pack the last distance, starting with Lily, who has a good nose.

"... found"

In a suppressed voice, Lily said.

When she pointed her gaze at the tip of her finger, I was able to confirm the appearance of the herd.

The herd is a monster that looks like a rabbit, about forty centimeters long.

The scorched brown furrows are filled with a number of bits of blue stone, with a slightly grotesque look.

The number is four.

Lily turned her gaze this way.

I nodded and ran out with Rose.

At the same time, the signs of Lily's magic left behind increased.

A bunch of green rabbits makes you tremble tingly.

I guess I felt Lily's magic.

but slow.

Lily had already activated the magic.

Attributes are wind.

The nature is countless sharp blades.

I don't give you time to run away.

The wind blew and the blood splashed and screamed.

The pre-emptive attack that struck the unexpected was perfectly decided.

But that's not the end of it.

Lily's magic unfolded with an emphasis on speed is about a second staircase at best.

Besides, we've expanded our range to attack multiple targets, so we're losing power.

The durability of the herd green rabbit was not as good as the appearance of the short body, but there was not one individual who led to the fatal injury.

The magical wind subsides, and the herd of greens recovers from the shock of an unintentional blow.

Behind those eyes, hostility lingered - just before that, me and Rose were attacking.

"Whoa!"

"Shh!"

Only Lily's magic earlier is restraint.

The goal was to buy time to pack the distance, disfigure and create a gap.

This is destiny.

Due to the nature of the operation, the combat time must be the shortest and determined by the single blow possible.

We now have the power to make it possible.

The sword flashes, the axe roars.

My sword snapped the neck of the herd, and the blow of Rose cut the body of each buried stone into two pieces.

Now there are two of them.

Of course, enemies aren't just getting hit.

Two survivors who fled and fled turned their bodies to me and Rose, respectively.

At the next moment, a blue stone buried in the body of a rabbit emitted light.

The magic team unfolds.

What activated it was water magic on the first staircase.

A bullet of water tries to pierce my face.

"Eh, gu!

I took that with a shield that turned forward.

It sounded heavier and heavier, and the impact was transmitted to my left arm.

Lower yourself and poke your right hand to the ground for the impact that your left half is about to peel through.

On the surface of the shield, the water bullet smashed and scattered.

The magic attack was prevented.

However, while this one is holding his legs in defense, the herd is about to jump further back and take a distance.

The nose - the stone of fists struck down.

"Okay...... eh"

"Assalina's Caged Hand", a Rose handmade armor, equipped with my hands poking at the ground.

The magic that was poured into the simulated demonic stones of the local attributes shot a bullet of stone out of the ground.

A flock of green rabbits struck the nose, disfigured in the air and pulled back.

I kicked the ground in an attempt to chase him.

But I immediately put my foot down.

Because Rose, who had rushed over earlier, was tapping a shaken axe.

A different individual attacked Rose than he unleashed his magic on me, but you've already been defeated.

I saw the sight at the edge of my sight, but Rose was instantly destroying the enemy when he broke off the water bullet with a strong shake down.

It was a luxurious blow, like falling in love.

Shake down the resistance from the front.

To step in, your body.

All of them were supported by the skills acquired by Silan's guidance.

Rose is also growing steadily, although we can't hope to make as many leaps as Lily.

I'm starting to be able to make good fights in mock warfare, but it still didn't seem to extend in action.

"We imitated the offer."

Rose, waving around the big axe valdish with the big blade and paying for the blood paste, came this way.

"No. We have to make sure it's done. That's Rose."

"Your husband was the one standing around brilliantly"

Seriously, Rose's eyes turned to the armor I wore.

Fluffy, loose atmosphere.

"Looks like you're also using the weapons you gave us."

His expression didn't change so much, but he seemed in a very good mood.

You'll be happy to see where the magic tools you've made are helping.

These innocent things about Rose make me smile watching.

With that in mind, looking at the understated grin, Fuji Rose looked like she noticed something.

"Oh, my lord. Your face..."

"Hmm? Yeah."

When I touched my cheeks with my hands, I felt lukewarm.

Thank you. He got dirty with blood.

"Ah. No. Please don't move as we will wipe it."

As I removed the handkerchief from the apron's front pocket, Rose quickly wiped my cheek.

"Excuse my hand"

"Oh."

Then, when I take my hand, I begin to wipe every finger that has been inadvertently contaminated by the return blood.

The polite arrangements were a little awkward.

That's how Rose finished wiping the blood, and Lily called out to the teasing mix.

"Look, your husband, Rose. Don't mess with me, I'm retreating."

"Oh, yeah"

I guess he's trying to jokingly loosen up the spirit he's become hypersensitive to in the aftermath of the fight.

Though I felt a little ashamed, the care was appreciated.

However, it seems that the serious Rose has taken the word to par.

wolfed on the face.

"Hey, sister. I'm snuggling, etc...!

"Fine. Fine."

Laughing, Lillie puts on Rose's protest.

The grin seemed to mean something to me, and I leaned my neck in the heart.

"Ugh. I'm not messing with you."

"Hey, sis..."

Rose cared about this one.

Until just now, the fingertips that were so luxurious are unsettling messing with the skirt of the lady's clothes.

I'm feeling kind of weird until me.

Removing his subtle gaze, Lily and I met each other.

"Ugh."

The smile and laughing expression were in such a good mood.

Whatever it is, it is now a retreat.

And we did not hold hands while we spoke, and we divided our hands, and retrieved the herds that had defeated them.

Because meat from herd green rabbits can be consumed, and stones buried in the body can be processed into pigments.

When we finished what we had to do, we left the place promptly.

Having joined the elves, we decided to take a break when we moved a little further away from the habitat of the herd.

"Takahiro. This is water. Go ahead."

I just lowered my hips and Kay brought me a water bottle.

"Oh. On purpose, thank you"

"No. Good luck"

A soft smile can be directed.

"It's going well."

"Oh. I was a little nervous when Silan suggested it, but I'm glad it wasn't too weak."

"I wasn't worried."

Heh heh heh. Kay laughed.

"I think you trusted Takahiro's strength."

"I guess. If so, I'll do my best to keep up with expectations."

I smiled back, too.

"I asked for a lie."

"Absolutely."

The way you make a fist grip all the time is adorable for the year.

But Kay's ability to fight in this group, backwards of his appearance, is at the top of the list.

In the first place, she was a knight apprentice for the Allied Knights, and these days, she has raised her arms with vertigo, also mixed with my and Rose's mock warfare forms of archery.

It was never just the tip of my mouth that I said, 'I asked you to do it'.

"Now if you'll excuse me."

When he lowered his head with a pepper, Kay returned to the village elves who would take a break a short distance away.

……

Yeah, Kay's been treating me the way I've always been, but on the other hand, the village elves were getting a little distanced, just awe-inspiring.

I'm a little sorry, but if you think about yourself, this is not something you can do.

As we acted together in this way, I wished I could break it down at all... and I watered the water bottle I was given.

It had a slight but fruity flavor similar to apples.

To flavor, I guess I mixed the fruit liquor slightly.

They magically chilled it just before, and it had a refreshing flavor.

In the pioneering village around here, I was told yesterday at the dinner table that they were growing a rare variety of fruit trees that often grew in the tree sea.

They say that this fruit can sometimes be transported to the town and eaten as is, and in the form of fruit liquor, sometimes even to the empire.

She also said that there is a custom in the village to make treats with this during celebrations, etc., and she also heard that Kay's favorite treat for Silan before was the one that used this.

Now is not the time, but sooner or later I want to try it.

With that in mind, I wet my throat and breathed.

This is the fourth day since we got our hands on the crusade of the herd green rabbits.

The operation was going well.

Following Silan's advice, he repeated his journey in search of a time when he could crusade without jeopardy, taking adequate breaks… and proceeded with caution, but still retained nearly a hundred herd greens.

Of course, this was only part of a herd of heavily bred herds, but only a significant part of the herd that was overflowing to near the village, should have been able to push it back.

Until yesterday, all the necessary achievements have already been mentioned.

Sometimes we will have to step into areas with dense nest holes any longer, and the crusade was scheduled to end today.

If I hadn't been distracted to the end...... and I just put my temper back on, I was called out.

"Good day, Takahiro."

Mr. Leah, who followed the Spirit, was walking over here.

"Silan's on reconnaissance, so I'm here to tell you."

"Okay. Is there anything I can do?

"Lord Takahiro is resting."

Mr. Leah spilled a bitter laugh.

"Unlike us, they fought directly against the herd. You must be tired."

"That's about it, there's nothing to it. Silan is harder."

In this crusade, Silan serves as a scout for searching for raidable herds of greenbows.

Silan's ability to oppose enemies using the Spirit, although somewhat less accommodating, is very good in purely sensing enemies, and also because, although he has some problems with his body, his ability to fight, which still remains at the same level as Rose, allows him to act alone in the Tree Sea.

It was a big deal because, due to the decline in combat ability and anxiety about the streak associated with demi-rich, except in times of need, although we are not supposed to fight directly, we are otherwise sufficiently active.

"I'm fine, Mr. Leah and I are the ones who need to be very careful with your health."

I appreciated the care, but one way or another, I was more worried about the village elves than about myself, who had spent a long time in the tree sea.

"Stepping into a tree sea just cuts your spirit off. If you're not feeling well, say it right away...... what's up?

"No. I really thought you were right about Silan and Kay."

I scratched my cheek at Leah's words, laughing with my hands on her mouth.

"What did the Silans say? I hope it's not a bad thing."

"No way. I praised him for being strong and kind."

"... I just need your help, I am"

"That's not true. At least that's not what the Cyrans thought, is it?

As I said in a mix of laughter, Mr. Leah waved for the first time.

"Kay seems to admire you. He said it was a dazzling thing to see you wearing the art of fighting for something important. I think those feelings are working in the right direction for her."

Ms. Leah turned her gaze to the back of a wooded tree.

"So is Silan. I didn't think she was meeting a brave man who should give his sword."

"... give the sword?

I thought it was rhetoric as I heard it somewhere.

Exploring my memory, I thought of it.

That one, yeah. It was an event in the nearest pioneering village of Fort Chile.

- Does Takahiro know what our knight is like?

In the room, the captain told me.

- We offer our own sword only against the philosophy of justice and the salvation of the weak. In other words, in this world it aggregates to the existence of a savior brave man.

- No matter, some knights don't either. I hear that those whose own prosperity comes first, and those who are corrupt, are now even bloodthirsty combat fanatics. But Siran isn't.

- That's a knight. Please, Takahiro would like you to remember that.

Scary and serious, the captain said.

- Please, keep up the good work on Silan. Takahiro.

I remember being asked to do so.

... bewildered, also.

Without further ado, Silan is a noble knight.

I have an unshakeable belief and look firmly at what I need to do.

I guess the pride and pride of being a knight makes her stand strong as a strong core.

I can't believe I showed weakness, at best, when the captain was in custody, and that's why I was getting back on my feet right away.

Is there anything I can do to help her?

In the first place, I am not a brave man.

Takahiro Mashima can't be a hero or a monster.

Mr. Leah is not supposed to know, but he is not worthy of being offered a sword.

It's just, that's why I never forgot what the captain told me.

I'm not going to forget.

Even if I'm not a brave man, it doesn't make any difference that Silan is a valued companion.

"... oh"

Mr. Leah shook himself tingly.

"Looks like Silan's back."

As spiritual as Silan is, she is alert to her surroundings while Silan is away.

In no time, Silan showed up.

"We found our next target. Please move."

We immediately lifted our hips to Silan's report.
