Monster no Goshujin-sama

Twenty.

"... n"

Well, I woke up.

What I saw in my sight was a rustic interior room.

I stayed in a house that spared the Knights of the Diocese from burning down.

Did I just say the time was before dawn?

In the room that started to brighten up, you can see Silan lying in bed.

and Asalina popped up slightly in my sight.

"Summer?"

Asalina tilted her head like a haetrigtha, sweet bites her ears.

Itchy sensation.

Where I shrugged myself reflexively, the gear of consciousness engaged.

"...... hmm. Oh. You mean that."

I got up and went out into the hallway.

"Ah. Takahiro."

"Morning, Kay."

Kay, who was just coming this way down the hall, looked a little surprised.

"You brought me something to eat"

"Yes. I was going to talk to you after seeing if you were awake... hey, did I wake you up?

"No. It was Asalina who woke me up. Or, to be exact, you woke me up. While I was asleep, I was alerted to my surroundings so that everything would be okay."

"Thermer"

Somewhere proud, bitterly laughing at Asalina, who leaps herself in the air with a little bit.

"So I just noticed Kay approaching."

"I see."

I received a meal from Kay.

They considered the situation and it was a simple meal to pinch with their hands.

"Uh. Shouldn't you still be resting?"

"No. You should eat it when you can"

Sip a unique, potato powdered bun in the region.

I chewed the elastic fabric and with the help of water swallowed it, I noticed the kuma under Kay's eyes.

"Kay's the one, okay? You're not sleeping, are you?

"I will not help you in battle."

There was a bitter grin on the girls.

"I can only help you guys, and this is when I need to work hard"

"It's hard work, but don't push it."

I'll stroke your head so you can fix your hair that's blurred.

Kay closed his eyes and stayed until he was exchanged for a while.

"Summer?"

Asalina rang.

Feeling the signs, I pulled my hand in.

Across the hallway appeared an elf man and some children.

When he met me, the man brought the children here.

"What's wrong, Mr. Dennis?"

"Sorry, I'm on vacation"

Dennis, an elf man living in the village, bowed his head.

Dennis was one of the villagers who miraculously managed to escape without falling on the sword of the Cathedral Knight.

He also treats me in a very cooperative manner.

Thanks to him, I was able to figure out what was going on in the village.

According to his story, the Knights of the Diocese, who visited the village, first disarmed the villagers and assembled them in one place.

Whatever the difference in degree, the people of Akel, young and old, are armed.

Although the difference in strength with the Cathedral Knight is historical, it is by no means a force of war that can be ignored.

For that reason, Travis must have taken such action with vigilance.

I was a little wondering that the Cathedral Knights I encountered had no other wear and tear than fighting Silan and that I could see no trace of resistance at all from the villagers, but apparently they were not even allowed to resist.

But it was also an action that made the villagers uncomfortable.

The people of Akel, adjacent to the tree sea and constantly in danger of life, yet the inhabitants of the pioneering village, are very sensitive to danger.

You can't fail to comply with the request of the diocesan knights, but you must have felt it was dangerous to follow them as they were.

They hid the children in their homes.

It was Silan's uncle, who was the village chief, who gave the instructions.

Some of the children were burned to death by burning their hidden houses, but I helped each of them around by using the sensing abilities of The Misty Inn.

The children here were part of the children who rescued them that way.

On the other hand, he gave instructions to Rose, who called from the car he had hidden, to retrieve the villagers who were still breathing.

To the villagers thus gathered, as long as Lily continued her magic, she continued her restorative magic.

We ran to stop the bleeding and so forth to help her, too.

People's lives were at stake.

Horrible and hasty time has passed.

By the time I had finished my first treatment, the sun had set abundantly.

Lily's magic led to a connected life.

But some were not.

In addition, some of those who had painstakingly connected their lives were still in a state that did not allow prediction.

The last day or two will be a long one.

"Takahiro."

One of the children called out.

They are all around ten years old, just like Kay or a little young.

"What?"

We look at each other, and we look at each other like we're looking at each other.

Somehow, it was a reaction that reminded me of old Kay.

"I'm sorry about the kids, Takahiro. Silan, how's the lady doing?

Dennis opened her mouth to see how the kids were doing that she couldn't really say what she wanted to say.

Apparently, they're here to ask you this.

Unfortunately, I couldn't give you a good reply.

"... I haven't woken up yet"

Looking back at the door to the room that just came out.

I can best understand the current state of Silan's body and deal with defects.

So I followed her while she was resting, but even half a day after she fell, she remained out of magic and unconscious.

In the mouth of Silan, who woke not, I had contained my own blood several times, and, slightly, my magic had recovered.

I'd like to believe that any of this demodulates...

"Do you think so?"

Dennis sighed, bowing his head deeply.

"Dear Takahiro. There's nothing more we can do than be heretically certified to the Cathedral Church."

It was a sad voice.

"Please, Siran, it's nice to meet you about your lady"

"That's... yes. I'm going to do what I can."

When I responded, Dennis smiled a little, looking up at him.

I guess I'm being hunted down so much that I don't mind words like this rest.

Also, from the bottom of my heart, I guess I'm even worried about Silan.

I felt relieved by the appearance of such an elf.

For one thing, I had concerns.

I feared that anyone would appear to rebel against her from the inhabitants of the village more than it was Silan that the diocesan knight was targeting.

Of course, what is really bad is the Cathedral Knights who attacked the village, and Silan is the victim.

It can be said that it is cruel to hold Silan accountable for this matter.

But even if it's unreasonable, it's something people tend to run into.

Because the weakness of a cornered person is something that can only appear in those parts.

Contrary to my concerns, however, the survivors of only a few villages, including Dennis, did not blame Silan.

I really didn't do anything like that.

So, I noticed.

Because of Silan, we're not.

We were attacked, including Silan.

The perception of the elves, roughly, is that the place.

That means they're family.

In addition to saving their lives, the fact that they are treating me in such a favor with monsters is a great prerequisite first of all for my relationship with my family, Silan and Kay.

The family of elves in the pioneering village knows the importance of bonding.

They were the ravaged weak, but also the bearers of a strong heart.

Siran's integrity may have been nurtured because he was born and raised surrounded by them like this.

They're in danger right now.

After Kay left with Dennis and the others, I went back to Silan's sleeping room to reflect on what was to come.

Fortunately, so far, there have been no raids by the Cathedral Knights.

Until I fell asleep, I had been wary of my surroundings with the magic of fog, and after I was exhausted and advised to take a nap, Leah, who had demodulated mentally, and Lily, who had recovered her magic, were supposed to be wary of the surroundings of the village.

However, it would be dangerous to assume that there would be no raids all the time like this.

What should we do now?

Where I was imprisoned by such an idea, I was called out.

"... Takahiro"

Siran's eyes were open as he lay down in bed.

I hold my breath for a moment.

"Silan!? Did you wake your eyes?!?

"... Yes"

It was my first wake-up call since I lost consciousness yesterday due to the loss of my magic.

"What is this place? No. What happened to me..."

Once, close your eyes and do a trick to remember something.

"... it was. I saw the village being attacked, and so"

"Do you remember"

"I lost me, until I ran wild. You're out of magic and you can't move."

Even if you lose your ability to fight, you haven't even lost the experience you developed as a knight.

Silan was calm when he said it was just a matter of time after he regained consciousness.

"How long have I been asleep?"

"About half a day. Good, wake up."

As I walked over to Silan, I broke my knee and peered into his face.

Silan's voice was weak enough to be heard otherwise.

Although I woke up, I was definitely debilitated.

"Blood... you need it?

"No."

Silan refused my offer.

"I appreciate the story, but it doesn't make much sense. Takahiro, I'm sure you know that."

Although it was weak, it was in a quiet tone to teach.

Sensibly, I could understand that what she was saying was right.

Originally, Silan's body had less capacity to accept magic.

Her current body is even more symptomatic and has almost stopped accepting magic.

A body that depends on the spirit, which is the property of an undead monster.

I guess her spirit has been beaten to the point where she can't even maintain that body.

There's a crack in the vessel, and there's only a little bit of water on the bottom.

"... what happened to the village"

Even then, I couldn't fail to respond because the first thing that came out of my mouth was a dialogue that cared for others.

"This is what I heard."

I told him what happened after Silan lost me, including a story from Dennis, the survivor of the village.

- That's why.

"Really? The Knights of the Diocese follow me…"

Silan silenced to his thoughts.

It would be a hard thing for her.

But the situation won't wait for me.

"I want Siran's opinion"

Silan had experience as a deputy chief in the Allied Knights, and some knowledge of the Cathedral Knights.

The opinion was of great value.

"Do you think this is the general idea of the Knights of the Diocese?

When I asked, Siran lay down his gaze.

"I can't say for sure... I don't think that's exactly it,"

"Can I ask why?

"Too, the M.O. is too violent. In person, I have never met you, but I have heard of the reputation of the head of the Knights of the Diocese, Harrison-Addington, and of his deputy, Gordon-Caville. Both were knights, well-known. And..."

Silan blinked slowly as he remembered something.

"This is what I heard when I was in the Allied Knights, but the captain said he had a meeting with them"

"The captain?

"Once a few years ago, the first unit of the Cathedral Knights visited Fort Chile. It was still about the time my brother died. The captain valued them highly. That's the knight. You can't think of him as a mischievous person with a sword to his people."

"I see."

Come to think of it, it might have been a little early to just look at some of it and put a rettel on the very being called the Cathedral Knights.

"Would it be more natural to think of this case as Travis' arbitrariness"

"I think so"

"Right."

I frowned.

"Then... it's hard to convince them to stop attacking."

"That's what happens."

Silan also gave his consent.

"As far as the story of Lord Takahiro is concerned, Travis of 'Holy Eye' did not go into this action by his righteousness. It will be difficult to reconcile by solving misunderstandings, as you did when you were Lord Yuna."

For example, if this one was happening because the Cathedral Knights saw me as a dangerous being, there might have been an eye for reconciliation, as in Iino's time.

But if Travis is moving by malice, it doesn't.

It would be futile to argue how much I am not evil, nor is Silan, the undead, dangerous again.

They have a big nickname: 'Crusade evil monster use and ugly ghouls'.

It's the big name that counts, and it doesn't matter what the facts are.

The attack on the village is also convincing if such a stance.

If you're working with me, fine.

Even if we're not cooperating, it means the dead have no mouth.

"You can't even get away with it."

Consider another direction and give it up again too.

"There are still many villagers wandering the abyss of life and death."

It is difficult to move them in absolute rest.

Not to mention, it wasn't a possible escape situation.

"We just have to intercept, or..."

The battle seemed inevitable.

I clench my fist.

But unlike me, Silan was calm.

Unnatural enough.

It was as if he was consolidating some sort of readiness.

"No. There are ways to avoid battle"

Voice of loss of power, but there was still light in its eyes.

"I have one favor to ask you"

Siran said.

"I will remain in the village. Lord Takahiro, take the villagers who can move and run away."
