Monster no Goshujin-sama

14 - Lily Perspective

"The Crusade of the Fake Brave......?

I repeated the words of Mr. Leah, who jumped into the room, in a dismal manner.

I was so shocked that I was about to risk interrupting the restorative magic that I was exerting on your husband.

For my part, I had heard rumors of false brave men before, and I knew that several villages had been destroyed.

But it didn't make sense that it would be told in connection with your husband.

I wanted to think it was some kind of joke, but I couldn't afford the look on Leah's face.

"Earlier, a transmission from Diospiro arrived. It's solid information."

"A decree......?

"Excuse me."

And a man came into the room from Mr. Leah's back.

He was a man of arms, dressed in the guise of a soldier of the Royal Army of Akel.

Mr. Silan gave me the look of being poked into the void.

"... Adolph?

"Silan. I didn't know we were gonna face each other like this in this place."

It was Mr. Adolph, an Akel soldier stationed in the nearby town of Diospiro, who came into the room.

In the past, he threw himself into battle as one of the knights at Fort Chile, and since losing his arm and returning to his hometown of Akel, he has been a person working as a guide for the army.

For Mr. Silan, he will be a former colleague and a comrade of war.

We had previously had demonic stones accommodated through him, whom Mr. Silan knew.

"So long, Mr. Adolph. I beg your pardon, and thank you..."

That said, Mr. Leah, with a pale face, leaves the room.

Mr. Adolph, who dropped him off, turned to Mr. Silan.

"That was tough. I heard from Master Philip, including about your body. I'm sorry you didn't talk to me."

"... excuse me"

"It's a joke. There are also circumstances of Takahiro. Yeah, I know it wasn't something I could blow."

The smile that floated had a care for his comrades.

But the smile pulled me right in.

To your husband lying in bed, Mr. Adolph shifted his gaze.

"I had to hurry to let you know what was going on, and I spared you while I rested from Diospiro... I didn't know Takahiro was down"

"Adolph. Is it certain information that the macro-lin border uncle has been pointing his soldiers?

Mr. Adolph nodded with a strange face as Mr. Silan threw the question around.

"Oh. That's the information the military grabbed. The soldier to whom Uncle Borderline turned, at the time of my departure from Diospiro, was already approaching just around the corner. It is a man by the name of Lewis-Bird who leads it. The name is Takahiro Mashima's crusade for the false brave man involved in the Fort Chile raid," The Evil Monster User ". Approximately 5,000 troops have been identified."

"O, five thousand!?

I screamed small.

"You sent five thousand soldiers to kill one of your husbands!?

"Rather, it would be a force to wrap up and deal with one party, including the relatives of Lord Lily."

My twinkle was corrected by Mr. Silan.

The look is harsh.

"It's not like there's another number without common sense. Assuming... assuming, if I were in the same position, I would make a similar judgment. This is not limited to Lord Takahiro, but the brave have a thousand powers. There's no point in pointing a halfway number."

It was a hard voice to say that it was uncomfortable to talk hypothetically about pointing a sword at a brave man.

"If we deal with the Warrior Class transferees, the Gabella and Lily, who can devour them alone, and with this me… and all the other family members, including Lord Rose, join forces, Takahiro's forces have already surpassed those of the average transferee. That's why..."

"... need to be crushed in the Great Army?

"That's what I mean"

I hate to admit it, but it was a convincing reasoning.

Earlier, Mr. Shiran praised the power of the transferee as "one thousand," but this can also be viewed in a different way.

That is, if you have a thousand people, you can kill them.

Of course, the real world is not that simple, but there are limits to any superman.

More numbers make it harder to deal with, fatigue accumulates, and wounds accumulate.

Numbers of violence are such things.

"The Macro-Lynn Borderline uncle is the former head of the southern aristocracy of the Empire. The territory held far surpasses the Akel One nation and is a grand aristocracy that cannot be compared in abundance. I've heard that the military power you hold exceeds 10,000 loosely. If you really intend to set things up with Takahiro, that's how many troops will come forward."

Speaking that far, Mr. Silan deepened the frown wrinkles.

"There's just one thing I don't know"

"Something I don't know?

"How did Akel's army cross the border?"

As I leaned my neck, Mr. Silan gave me a polite explanation.

"As a matter of course, the military cannot enter the territory of another country on its own. Regardless, time and in some cases, we may invite armies from other countries… As you know, our Akel and Macro-Lynn border lords can be very unfriendly. If we don't do much, we're not going to allow the military to cross the border."

"... even if there were circumstances, there could be no permission or anything like that. I don't know what I'm going to do."

Mr Adolph said with a face like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

It may also be huge to be a military subordinate involved in national defence, but it seems true that we are not close.

"Then why?

Mr. Silan gave the look of doubt.

"In the first place, wasn't there a medical examination long ago that the Border Bell Army would cross the border"

"It wasn't there. They suddenly showed up at the border without any advance notice."

"... stupid. So isn't it almost like you've invaded"

Mr. Silan looked incredible.

"What was the army doing?"

I guess I expected you to say that.

In a thoughtless seeping voice, Mr. Adolph replied.

"I couldn't do anything. The Knights of the Diocese were with us."

"... what?

Mr. Silan's face was tense.

Probably because I could have predicted an approximate history.

inquired in a low voice.

"Did you just say the Cathedral Knights?

"Oh, I heard that the Borderline Lord's Army is accompanied by the Knights of the Cathedral. Then that would be a just expedition. I can't say anything about a soldier at the end. On the contrary... sometimes it is the end of the enemy of the devastated Knights of the Diocese Unit IV, the Borderline Bowmen."

"Oh no..."

Mr. Silan lost his word.

And I thought unto myself, and chewed my lips.

"... well, they did. That's what Edgar was raiding at this time."

Your husband is lying down because he was attacked by the cathedral knight Edgar.

No way. It wouldn't be a coincidence.

"Travis and Uncle Borderline were conspiring."

He also sounded familiar with the name of a person named Lewis-Bird, who leads the Borderline Bell Army.

It must have been someone who was present with Travis when Mr. Iino got the wrong information about us in Serratta.

They must have consigned since then.

And I fell in love with your husband.

"This is terrible."

I couldn't help but recognize how bad the situation was.

Five thousand soldiers were prepared to crush us.

Not to mention that, as things stand, our fighting power is drastically diminishing.

Mr. Silan is significantly weakened, and I cannot move with my hands taken for your husband's treatment.

More importantly, it was bad that your husband was unconscious.

Robbia was filling her young face with anxiety, just ahead of her glance.

A small hand is grabbing the fabric of your husband's sleeping bed.

For my part, it was difficult to say that although I was left undisturbed, I was completely at peace.

Anxiety is contagious.

It spreads endlessly.

I dye my heart black.

There's heavy air in the room.

"Dear Sister Lily,"

- Rose opened her mouth.

"May I have a moment?"

Tranquil waist.

For a moment, I am taken aback.

That's about it, it was the usual Rose.

"... Oh, yeah. What?"

"How shall we move now?"

When I urged, Rose said, as a matter of course.

I don't see the color of agitation in that attitude, even though the expression is originally faint.

I'm just telling you what you need to do.

It was such a natural waist.

"It doesn't make me think about how bad things are, or what changes. Whatever the situation, what we need to do is determined. It's to protect your husband. If you don't move for it. Don't you?"

In a realistic direction, Rose already seemed to be cutting the rudder of thought.

No. Instead, maybe this is just about doing as usual.

Shield to protect your husband.

There's always one thing Rose thinks about, and it doesn't shake there.

And it was the way it was that it had a surface effect on this occasion.

"... right. Sure, yeah."

Anxiety is contagious.

If so, vice versa.

If you share a purpose, it's a misdemeanor.

Having been given definite guidelines clearly changed the air on the spot.

Of course, I was no exception.

"... Phew"

Somehow, I remembered when your husband was captured by a white Arakune who didn't have a name yet.

Even then Rose's calmness helped me.

An important and cute proud sister.

It's been a long time since I can count on you when I have to.

I smiled at Rose.

"Okay. So, what do we do now?"

"Yes."

As Rose nodded, Kato beside her opened her mouth.

"Roughly, are you going to intercept, run, or try to negotiate?"

Line up the policies you can take from this, as if you were going to water the stands.

It was as if I knew this was going to happen.

Or maybe he believed it.

"What do you think of Kato?

When I asked for my opinion, Ms. Kato answered immediately.

"It will be difficult to intercept first"

"I knew it, right?"

There is no magical way to increase your power.

You'll have to think in a direction that avoids fighting more than you have the power to confront.

"Escape or negotiate. I hope you understand in the discussion..."

I frowned.

"You can't do that, either, than you're conspiring with Travis, who's been blowing all that chaos."

"No. What about that"

Surprisingly, Mr. Kato withdrew his doubts here.

"You may not be right to describe yourself as conspiring with Travis"

"What do you mean?

"Travis' purpose will be to defeat 'The Evil Monster User' and gain honor and handle. But what about Uncle Borderline? It doesn't seem right to me."

mouth your thoughts as you tease the hair you offer with your fingertips

"I know you need five thousand soldiers to crusade Senior Mashima. But what about the cost of the expedition for that? Unlike Travis, who was moving the knights of his own organization at will, the cost of the expedition will be returned to Borderline Uncle himself. I don't think it's the kind of amount I can give you, even though it's rich."

Mr. Silan nodded as he was pointed at the confirming gaze.

"That is...... indeed, Lord Minnaka is right. Because an army is a gold-eating bug. Even more so if it's an expedition. Regardless, for example, if this is about your territory, the story is different again. Rumor has it that a pseudo-brave person seems to be a detrimental being, and it is only natural to move to eliminate it. But this is Akel. If you think only of profit, there will be no reason for an unfriendly borderline uncle to move."

So it doesn't fit the bill.

I'm not thinking about profit.

Because…….

"... Are you saying that the Border Bell Army is really a righteous army moving for a false brave crusade?

Speaking of which, although I'm not sure about Uncle Borderline himself, there was a time when Mr. Iino said he was a 'man of justice' about Lewis-Bird, who leads the leadership.

Speaking of whether that view was credible, although there were places where I would lean my neck somewhat, the fact that I was only saying that, at least, there was something I could feel as a kind of fellow.

Maybe Lewis-Bird is being danced to the wrong information, as Mr. Iino did when he raided us.

It was a likely story.

It's also an annoying story.

However, if that's the case, I can also see the light of hope.

"If the Borderline Belgian army is simply being danced to Travis's mouthpiece, you might be able to avoid the battle by solving the misunderstanding. Just run, cut through this place, and in the meantime..."

"With the help of Master Philip,"

Mr. Silan took my word for it.

"It's not what I planned, but it's the same thing to do. If it were the royal word, the Borderline Berber Army would not be able to ignore it either. Adolph. How is Master Philip here now?

"If you are Philip, you were sent to Your Majesty to talk more about your cooperation with Takahiro. However, you should be listening to the Borderline Lord's Army on the road. I'm talking about Master Philip. You may have already moved."

"Now, is it possible for me to ask you to tell Master Philip to unravel the misunderstanding of the Borderline Lord's Army while we are running away and buying time?

"Whatever."

Mr. Adolph nodded forcefully.

"I don't know what a fake brave man is, but it's true that Lord Takahiro is a brave man. The slander of false braves and the like is not enough to fear. Dear Philip has also been promised cooperation with the Cathedral Knights Unit IV. I'll be sure to tell you."

Now the immediate policy stands.

Of course, there is no denying that there may be some other thoughts on Borderline Uncle, but in that case, buying time anyway is effective.

Anyway, if I can manage to cut through this place, I can handle it.

No, we can cut through, whatever.

I dropped my gaze on your husband, who sleeps in bed.

I gazed at my face illuminated by the white light of healing magic.

I'll definitely try to protect it.

Together, we will overcome this dilemma.

The policy solidified and we nodded at each other.

Mind in one.

Move out.

It was just before that.

"Wait, Slime"

There was a door opening and a low woman's voice sounded.

A gray giant enters the room.

A moment later, I looked you in the eye.

"Be, Berta!?

That's right.

It was the double-headed gray wolf Berta who was there.

They followed me, and beside me there was an appearance of abandonment.

"Oh, surprise. You're back."

Berta, who had accompanied us at one time, had returned to the Lord, Kudo Lu.

Again, I didn't expect to show my face at this time, although I said something like coming this way.

The village must have been put through by Gabella, who is watching over me.

"Hey, just fine"

My head restarted from surprise.

"Listen, Berta. It's a big deal right now."

There are some difficult things about the position, but I can trust Berta's personality.

I also know how much power you have.

If you could give me a hand, I would have been powerful.

"Actually..."

"I know."

Blocking me from trying to talk, Berta cleverly closed the door with tentacles that grew from her hips.

"Is the Macro-Lynn Border Army imminent?

Proceed to the middle of the room.

I glanced at your husband and roared small.

There I heard a thoughtless sound.

"... this is a lot of trouble again"

"Ugh, yeah."

"Your earlier story. Only at the end, but let me hear it."

Berta turned the nose of the wolf against me.

"Your predictions are correct."

Two pairs of eyes gazed at me.

"The Borderline Lord's Army is moving for justice. That's for sure."

"Duh, how do you know that...?

'Cause I've seen it.

Have you seen it?

What the hell have you been looking at?

"We need to talk."

Apparently, Berta didn't just come back.

If you think about it, it was odd that you showed up on this occasion.

Your husband's relationship with Kudo Lu is something you should be laying low on.

It is also preferable not to touch the eyes of third parties if possible when you are talking to Berta in this way.

Yet he also appeared magnificent.

I guess that's what I needed to do.

Berta opened her mouth as the gaze of doubt gathered.

"About the Border Bell Army. And about the fake brave."
