Monster no Goshujin-sama

05. Co-operation commitments

Five.

"... already. Miho. I'm shy."

Lily, who switched, said dissatisfied.

I spoke to her with my lips pointed.

"Thanks, Lily too. Tell me."

"You're welcome."

"Just add and subtract a little more"

"Eh. Miho has to do about that. I'm happy about that."

"Really?

"Yeah. He's nibbling in me right now.... Oh, I rammed out"

"The more."

"You're close."

Mr. Philip rocked his shoulder watching us interact.

"Besides, you seem to have a much better relationship."

And the eyes that saw us - the LORD, who led the monster, and his family, had restored the warmth.

From the shock of being informed of an incredible fact, he recovered completely.

"Very, I don't think one of them is a monster. … and was this a silence"

"No, it's too distracting."

I let him wave for the first time.

"The fact that they're monsters doesn't go away. Because there's nothing you can do to deny it."

"Do you mean to live with that fact? … you're going on a difficult road"

'Cause it's your own path.'

I was not lost in my response.

"... I see. That's right, brave man." The Best Knight in the North Side of the Tree Sea. "

Mr. Philip exhaled heavily.

What is the emotion put into it?

A smiling lip spun the words.

"I can't say anything more to the words of those who have spoken so far. I apologize for imitating you in such a way that I doubt your words. I'm going to take this responsibility as well."

"You don't have to worry about responsibility. Because I don't care. More than that, it's coming."

Mr. Philip admitted the facts to me.

But that's a premise, not the point.

"Will you cooperate?"

Before I swallowed my spit and waited for an answer, Mr. Philip's expression turned into something soft.

"Rest assured, Takahiro. Nor do I believe that this matter should be a source of further tragedy."

For a moment I stuffed my breath in words that I could feel anxiety and determination.

"Then...!

The cup makes a hard noise on the clap that got me out, but I can't care less.

"Yes, I will work for the King in the direction of cooperation on the matter of your request"

"Thank you"

I got the response I wanted, and I bowed my head.

Now I see the possibility that I can deal with things.

"Don't thank me, Takahiro."

Mr. Phillip waved for the first time.

"It is only natural to accompany the brave. You are also a benefactor who has saved the people more than the raid was true. It's up to us to thank you. This will just be all, that your deeds have returned to you. And..."

Signs of steel dwelt on Mr. Philip's tender face.

"... Even as Royal Akel, we need to strongly protest against the Cathedral Knights in this case. Instead of asking for your request, I would like to ask Takahiro to cooperate with you."

"Yes, if that's what I can do."

From the beginning, I meant to.

This kind of thing is held. It's held.

We never refused to cooperate.

Then we moved on to specifics.

"First of all, you're in contact with the Cathedral Knights. As it stands, the Messenger is on his way to the King regarding the appeal of Lord Takahiro. I also tell you that I have come to ascertain the factual relationship, so when I return, I will tell you the truth from my mouth to the king."

"Please. At that time, could you also take your letter to the Knights of the Diocese with you? I know we'll end up discussing this face-to-face, but before we do, we need to first explain one thing in writing."

"As we set up the venue for the talks, we are also going to explain to the other side… Surely it would be better to have a letter from Lord Takahiro as well. I get it. Give it to me later."

"And I think it's better to say hello to the king than do every favor,"

"Yes, indeed, I will tell the King about it."

Mr. Philip, who undertook with pleasure, lowered his eyebrows there with regret.

"… if it were meant to be, if the brave were present in the country, I would soon invite you to the royal castle to set up a welcome seat, but for how many minutes, I must first report to the king about one of the Knights of the Diocese. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please forgive us."

"All of a sudden, I'm not going to bother you"

With a bitter smile, I shook my neck to the side.

In the first place, Mr. Philip's guilt was off-target because there's no such thing as wanting him to be welcomed as a brave man.

"Besides, you can't leave this village alone."

"I'm sorry. It's our job, too, but I owe Takahiro a debt of trouble."

"I don't mind. The raid on the Cathedral Knights is an irregular case, and understandably we don't have enough hands. This is the home of Silan and Kay. Even I want to protect the elves in this village."

At the edge of his sight, the two elf girls look happy.

"Besides, my family can live quite relaxed in this village."

It's easy not to hide yourself.

You don't have to use extra nerves.

In addition, Kato's calculations from the other day have gone quite well.

For example, Rose was breaking even with that woman who seemed incapable of abandoning her vigilance.

The kids seem to be making toys and stuff for them, and they admire them early.

It wouldn't be such a distant day to be able to crack it down with the other villagers either.

"It's just that all we can do is protect this village. In order to rebuild, assistance from the State is needed. What do you think?"

"... right. Come on, the fence is surviving, too, and what makes it an abandoned village would be a lower measure, even if you think about the surrounding area. then you will be recruiting migrants, but do you need something to precede you in doing so"

After a few thoughts, Mr. Phillip nodded.

"Okay. I would like to move in that direction as well. However, the process will require some time. Some things will be needed at once, so at my discretion, I will make a statement from the warehouse of the army. As soon as formal assistance is available, there should be no problem if we make it up to the military."

"Is it true? That helps."

The village elves seemed to have a good report.

This will have given us the promise of the necessary cooperation.

All you have to do is leave it to Mr. Phillip.

We will move only after we are ready for a conversation with the Knights of the Diocese.

Then I packed up the details, and the discussion was over.

"Is this the place? We're leaving the village tomorrow and going back to Diospiro."

"Best wishes. Get some rest today."

I told Lily and arranged for her to prepare the meal.

With eight more large adults, we will need a lot of food, but so far we have no problems.

"Thank you for taking the time, Takahiro"

"No. I hope it suits your mouth."

There was a lot of meat in the meal lined up.

It is the meat of monsters, including herds of green rabbits.

To ensure the safety of the village, I am asking Gabella and others to come hunting for monsters near the village, which was a by-product of it.

For once, I took confirmation with Mr. Philip, but the answer came back that even the meat of the monster was fine.

Originally, he said that he didn't live so luxuriously, and while he was acting with a knight, it didn't really make a difference in the content of his meal if he was royal.

If I could eat this much meat that wasn't dried meat, I would rather be as luxurious.

There didn't seem to be any problems with the taste either.

"Lord Lily made this, didn't he?"

Mr. Philip said in an emotional tone as he carried the soup to his mouth with a wooden spoon.

"Ever since I've been here, I've been amazed. No. In the first place, it's surprising that the brave men... and all three of them will visit Akel."

At the dining room, Kato also showed his face.

I couldn't put it on the table while I didn't know how to get them out, but she herself said she should show her face or so more than she decided she could help.

This is the first time a male phobic girlfriend has had a meal with a first-time man.

I don't seem to have a small mouth count and not much appetite, but it would still have been forward to be able to come out this way.

Philip compares me to Lily and Kato, who sit next to each other.

"I've heard so many brave men in the past who have been in this world without examples, but it's something I could hardly believe. This is the first time I've had a real feeling about it. Are the others still in the Empire City?"

"Right. I've heard stories about some of them heading to the Imperial City. I don't know the details."

You noticed it was a tone you weren't very interested in, and Mr. Philip just hammered, "Really?"

"Oh, but speaking of which, the captain on his way to Imperial Capital... there must be one at your sister's too"

"Really?"

"It's called Kanahiko, but it's a nice one. I can trust that guy. As long as he's attached, your sister won't be driven into a serious position."

In order to give an explanation concerning the raid on Fort Chile, and to take responsibility for it, Mr. Commander was transferred to Imperial Capital at the behest of the Macrolin Border Uncle.

This state of affairs of one of the royal families, Mr Commander, is laid low by the ordinary people of Akel, but the royal family, Mr Philippe, knows.

For that reason, I had told Mr. Philip what I knew, from the backdrop of the Fort Chile raid to my detention in Serratta.

After a moment, I thought you might know something about what happened after I didn't know, but unfortunately, he hasn't come in yet after he left Serratta.

Most importantly, there was no choice.

Far away means of information transmission are limited in this world.

For example, from Serratta to Akel, where the captain was detained, it is normal for a traveling merchant to take about a month.

Unless you have a means of distance communication that was in Fort Chile or Fort Ebenus, Akel also doesn't have the facilities for that hand.

If you headed to the Imperial City, that's all you'll leave, so it'll take you even longer.

It's been about four months since I broke up with Kanahiko.

If you left Serratta soon after that, it should be about two months to the Imperial City, so you should be here by now.

When is it time to finish explaining and pursuing responsibility in Imperial Capital?

Maybe he's already on his way home.

"Really, the brave one."

After breathing relief, Mr. Philip looked a little happy.

"Takahiro, by the way. His lord Kanahiko and his sister..."

"Oh, no. It's not a special relationship or anything. As far as I know."

Regardless of Kanahiko, the captain didn't have that vibe.

It's only in my eyes, so I don't know how it actually is.

"... Really?"

Mr. Phillip looked sorry for him.

"My sister has always had a male victory. In fact, it must have been the most fitting of the brothers, saying that they would do royal duty, and even went to Fort Chile. Because I don't know when I'm going to die. And even though it's a good year, I'm not married. But I want my sister to take care of her happiness as a woman."

Sigh.

"I thought if I could do that, I'd calm down..."

I thought he was a fine man, Captain, but from within, he has another opinion.

To Kanahiko, could this be good news?

For this minute, the brother of the man of my heart seemed to turn to my side.

"Whatever, I'm relieved if the brave will stay with me. Is this also only if many brave men show up? Thank goodness."

Mr. Philip smiled relieved, but accidentally tightened his mouth.

"But Takahiro. Be careful. I've heard strange rumors recently."

"Weird rumors?

"Yes, in the far east, there have been rumors of awe-inspiring and valiant impostors."

I circled my eyes.

"Are you a brave impostor? What is it, it"

"Didn't you know? Is it because many brave men have appeared in this world? It's like an undetected man has appeared to deceive the brave."

Is there anger, Mr. Philip's voice had become just a little narrative?

"Lord Takahiro crossed the Kittles Mountains from Count Lawrence territory and went to Akel, didn't he? The impostors who deceived the brave men appeared in the territory of the small nobles further east in imperial territory beyond Viscum, east of Count Lawrence's territory."

"... Huh?

And Kato gave a small voice.

The voice caught my attention just to be quieter than usual during this meal seat.

"What's up, Kato?"

"It's not a big deal...... when it comes to the east of Viscum, isn't it a lot farther? I thought rumors would get here."

Mr. Kato turned his gaze to Mr. Philip.

"Mr. Phillip. Question is, when did you hear that?

"Huh?... right. Sure, I think it was about a month ago."

"Really? Thank you."

Kato put his broken finger on his chin when he got a thoughtful face.

"Hey, I thought the Cathedral Knights might have something to do with it..."

"The Travis?

I couldn't stay just soothed, and I stiffened my voice.

"But do that for whatever reason"

"Ah. No. I wasn't thinking that far. I just associate it with people who know things outside Akel..."

Kato waved both hands.

"Sorry, it was inadvertent. A month ago, a long time before the Knights of the Diocese arrived, and it has nothing to do with it."

Apparently, he just mouthed his thoughts associatively gamely.

He didn't seem like a thoughtful Kato.

I guess that's what we thought. I took a seat.

"I think I'm getting a little depressed. Excuse me, but now I'm going to have to excuse you."

"Shall I walk you to your room?"

"It's okay. Right up the stairs."

Kato left the room, laughing bitterly at my offer and saying no.

I guess I made it a little impossible.

Though our hope, it could have been a failure to let them join us in the dining room.

Looks like you should go see your face later.

"... Nevertheless, you did often get rumors of false bravery to this point"

Restored my mind, I turned my water to Mr. Phillip.

"You just want a fake to show up, don't you?

"If it just showed up, I guess so."

I leaned my neck to the rhetoric that contained it.

"What do you mean?

"That's the story of the great damage done in the village where the brave impostor showed up. I don't know the details, but it's a rumor that a monster attacked me."

"... to a monster? How the hell did you do that?"

"I don't know, but I'm a man who does incredible things, such as fooling brave men. Oddly enough, you must have received money or something from a deceitful villager. After that, they say they lured monsters to attack the village to get rid of the evidence, etc."

"Whatever it takes to get there..."

It was a worse line than I thought.

"Of course, no one does this. You just lose your place of residence, and in the first place, you're at high risk of getting killed before you attract them. But in fact, in wars that were between empires and allied nations in the past, some records were used. There are many records of the ancestors of the Macro-Lynn Border House going to our country."

Mixing a little thorn with a gentle tone, Mr. Phillip said.

I hear that there is a huge historical gulf between the Alliance countries and the Macro-Lynn frontier territory, but it seems to be true.

Anyway, what came to my mind was a little more possibilities.

"... Kudo Lu"

I snap in my mouth and float another monster user's face behind my brain.

He would be easy enough to manipulate a monster and destroy one village.

More importantly, he has a reason.

I hate the existence of a person.

The possibility could not be denied.

However, if so, it hooks me that he showed up in front of the villagers before...

Whatever, it looks like you should keep the fake brave thing on your chest.

"It's rude, but when I first read the letter from Takahiro, this story passed my back."

"I guess. If it's Philip's position, I think it's the same for me."

I agree with Mr Philippe.

Had he not been a calm man, he might have been in danger.

I was lucky.

"In the case of Lord Takahiro, there are elves from this village and from the neighbouring village, and I have them, so there is no problem, but if you ever come out of the city alone, please refrain from talking about it in a prank. You may find it unpleasant. When you have business to come to Diospiro, please let us know and we'll pick you up."

"Thank you"

I'm not willing to brag about my brave identity, and I'm not planning on going out to Diospiro for a while, but I decided to take care of it thankfully.

The next day, Mr. Philip left the village as planned.

We'll try to be as ready as we can until the situation moves.
