Monster no Goshujin-sama

19. Man of Justice

Nineteen.

Hometown village ravaged by monsters.

Whenever he remembers the sight, Lewis-Bird asks himself:

I wonder how much I can do for people.

"Oh, Master Lewis. What happened to it?"

It was when Lewis was having a meeting about the camp steps.

One of the assembled men asked Lewis in a mundane manner.

"Oh. This."

Louis lifted his wrist as he grinned bitterly that it was an eye-catching one.

There was a leather bracelet wrapped around it.

It was uniquely designed, heavily wrapped with braided leather strings.

Usually, Lewis doesn't decorate himself.

He showed no interest in any of the luxuries while being in a high position in the Macrolin Borderline Berg Territory and receiving considerable salaries.

So, even though it was simple, the ornament kind attracted the interest of my men.

"In the meantime, I've arbitrated a little trouble."

Are you talking about helping the boy of the people of the meadows?

"That's it. At that time, he gave me a thank you. They say it's an amulet for the people of the meadows."

During this expedition, it was an event in the town where I stopped by.

Lewis protected the boy of the meadow people, who was obsessed, and arranged for the wound to be handled.

At the parting, the boy learned that Lewis was leading the army on an expedition and gave him this bracelet by his guide.

I wouldn't have received it if it was just a decoration, but that was what the boy had in mind.

Lewis is not so much a careless man that he doesn't realize that fact.

When I received it, I gave it to him on the spot.

"That boy, you appreciated a lot"

Another subordinate talks.

He was one of those people who accompanied Lewis at that time.

What was said was a compliment to Lewis, but the person of the moment was a face that would not float.

"I just did what was natural."

Sigh.

"It's lamentable that a child who doesn't even go that old can be abused. It is unjust and pointless to abuse the people of the meadows. They also said that they would not change to the people of the Empire."

It was a mourning from the bottom of my heart.

The Empire has a tide of contempt for the people of the meadows.

For people who build walls, build towns, and survive monster threats, grazing on plains that are supposed to be dangerous, and living on the outside of walls, they look terribly different.

The feeling was also understood by Lewis.

Most of all, that is why I also thought that they should not be discriminated against.

To be precise, Grantley-McCrowlin, now a McCrowlin's frontier uncle, raised Lewis that way.

Lewis-Bird came from a village destroyed by monsters, protected where in danger by the Macrolin Borderline Uncle Lieutenant Army, and removed to the Borderline Uncle's mansion.

This was some kind of charity, and the mansion had several children in similar circumstances.

Grantley-McCrowlin gave them the work they needed to live and the opportunity to educate.

Among other things, Lewis' qualities and efforts had been drained.

Uncle Borderline also looked at him like that.

He told young Lewis that it was his own responsibility as a nobleman to protect and guide people.

There is no discrimination there.

There must be no.

If people can't all hold hands, no real peace will ever come to this world.

For the sake of the world, fight against evil beings that threaten people.

Do justice.

Regardless, unlike the brave ones, they are not strong enough, but they still have to do what they need to do to themselves.

As such, Grantley-McCrowlin spoke and made it heard.

For Lewis, it's the teachings of a benefactor that nobody can replace.

There was no room for doubt.

I also intended to martyr at the thought.

Just stating so, reality was an itch for Lewis.

For example, a middle-aged man who was abusing a boy from a meadow people during this time.

Lewis talked to a man who was an executive of a certain chamber of commerce.

In time, I couldn't get rid of that guy's bias.

I think it's a shame.

Not to mention the verbal discourse that led to the existence of false braves and such.

How can we not hold hands between humans?

Lewis-Bird doesn't know.

"Master Lewis!

One soldier rushed to the spot when he took a deep sigh.

"I'll report you!

"What?"

Lewis switched his head instantly.

As one who leads an army, I can't even mourn the smoothness of the floating world.

I thought even the monster came out, but what the soldier told me was different.

"Earlier, Mr. Lewis was offered a visit."

"You said it was a visit?

It was unexpected.

"Tell me more."

"Yes."

Lewis narrowed his eyes when he heard about the soldier, who nodded and began to explain.
