Nido Tensei Shita Shounen wa S Rank Boukensha Toshite Heion ni Sugosu ~ Zense ga Kenja de Eiyūdatta Boku wa Raisede wa Jimi ni Ikiru ~

No, I thought this world was over.

After the battle with the Ronin, we came to the priest's village.

However, the village was panicked by the effects of the previous battle.

I'm sorry to surprise you with our fight with the Ronins.

We calmed them down and finally understood the situation with explanations from the relevant parties, Yukinoji and Harumi.

"It seems that there have been some songwriters in the clan who want to cause trouble over the life of the next general, but it is definitely the first time in history that there has been such a big uproar like this one."

"Ahahah, I'm sorry...."

Fortunately, the priests forgave us for not causing damage to the village.

Yeah, they're very nice people.

"I have heard from Mitsu about the Yamazakura Koji Temple. I can't believe he did such a big thing... I'm sorry."

For some reason, the priest apologizes for what he did to the head of the family.

"Good, there is indeed the blood of the priests in the mountain cherry blossom trail, but it has nothing to do with the owners. This incident was only caused by the individual Yamazakura Koji."

"It would be helpful if you could say so."

I see, the leader of the rebellion was a relative of the priests in this village.

Then the priests didn't feel either.

But Yukinoji forgave it lightly.

Say that the head elder is the head elder and the priest is the priest.

It's hard to forgive a relative of the person who tried to kill himself without showing much.

Yukino-san, you might make a good king.

"It's a waste of time. I want to conduct a general assault ritual immediately."

"I understand."

Yukinojo-san told us that we didn't need a break, and the priest led us to a large mansion in the back of the village.

The Mansion is quite large enough to think that a third of the village is this mansion.

The house in this country is wide by the side because there is a garden.

Then, Yukinoji, please proceed here.

Hmm.

Yukinojo-san moved on and Harumi tried to follow, but the priest stopped him.

"I'm sorry, but please wait here with us."

"What!? I'm a young guard!

If you can't leave Yukinojo-san alone, Haru-sensei will lose his voice.

"This is how the General was attacked. So if you're not the next general, you're not allowed to go any further."

"...!!!"

I was told that I couldn't let anyone in, and Harumi's expression became steep.

"This is the Emperor's realm, revealed by the Lord of Heavenly Peaks. If you are a general, you will obey the rules."

"......!

The moment the Emperor's name appeared, Haru-sen's body became stiff.

Speaking of which, the emperor is the real king in this country.

It seemed like there was nothing I could do to get his name out, and Haru-sen ate his teeth, gripped his fist hard, and followed the word of the priest.

"Rest assured, Harumi. This land is the land of the Emperor. In case there's any danger."

"If...."

"Rest assured. I'll be back shortly after I assault the general."

"I understand..."

I guess I'm not worried that I can't do anything more.

Harumi sighed loudly and relaxed his fist, poking his knee and lowering his head to Yukinojo-san.

"Welcome, young man."

Hmm! I'll be there. Thanks to Mina and Lex for escorting us here. You can relax and rest in the village until the rest of you return. "

Good luck!

Hmm, leave it to me.

That's how Yukinojo-san entered the back of the building with the priest.

"Did he change the air a little?

Mina said that as she watched Yukinojo-san leave.

"Really?

"Yeah, he was restless when I met him, but, yeah, he was since I met Lex. But you've calmed down quite a bit since you came to this village."

Hey, what's going on?

"... the young man came to the land as the next general. That's why young men now rule themselves as generals."

When we were talking about Yukinojo-san, Bosley and Harumi spoke.

"As a general?

"Hmm, young is the son of a general who rules the land of Heaven Peak. Therefore, I had to do shameful deeds in the name of the general, and in an official setting, I was severely disciplined to behave as the general's son deserved."

Oh, is it like nobility's manners?

"Indeed, the young man was honored as the son of the next general. I had a lot of experience I couldn't get in the castle on this trip."

"You certainly had a lot of experience. I'm going to have a tongue demonstration that I wouldn't normally experience."

That Mina? Why are you looking at me there?

"But I still don't have enough experience to be young. It is painful that I lost my predecessors and was unable to inherit the wisdom and attitude that I was supposed to teach as a politician."

Seeing the work of parents is an important study for aristocrats. It seems that Harumi is particularly concerned that Yukinojo-san was unable to experience it.

Even the merchant's son would have done nothing if he had just begun his job as a parent.

"But that's why you have your ministers, isn't it?

Mina is right. For these times, the minister will support you.

"Of course, but the chief minister, Yamazakura Koji, betrayed him. In addition, many clan lords have disturbed us according to the Yamazakura Koji Temple. Even if you assaulted the general's position, the young government would be tough."

Well, it is likely that the lead family member will definitely be taken up in this case and, in some cases, their title or territory will be confiscated.

The feudal lords who helped will also be punished.

Then Yukinojo-san will have to rule the country in the absence of a minister with a high track record in the politics of the country, such as the head of the family.

In other words, all the people who help are inexperienced and powerless to get started.

I'm sure that's tough.

"Furthermore, there is no doubt that the rebels, including the elders, will become romantic in this case."

Yes, because they work for the rebellion, those who were not directly involved in the rebellion may not be executed, but they will definitely lose their jobs.

"Then there will be even more Ronins with irrational grudges against the generals."

"Should I say I deserve it, or should I say that the Lord I served was wrong..."

Mina hides her eyebrows and roars.

At times like this, it's hard for powerful men.

I can't disobey my boss's orders.

I've seen knights who had to obey unreasonable orders for the same reasons in my previous life, and I've been used to protect the world myself.

"But the scary thing is, young people don't step on the same foot as they do."

"Yukinojo-san?

What's that supposed to mean? Isn't Yukinojo-san the most powerful man in this country?

I don't think there's anyone to rebel against for power or power.

The only opponent is the Emperor, but the Emperor doesn't seem to be involved in politics, so there's no hostile advantage.

"It has actually happened in the history of our country, but the general has punished innocent servants without taking the liberty of investigating them."

Oh, that's a story we often hear on our continent.

I wonder if the general at that time was also successfully used by the villains.

"The worst part is keeping your men away from being suspicious and giving serious opinions. No, it would've been better if we'd just kept it away, but in the worst case scenario, the clan would have been executed."

That's terrible.

There will always be a king of the cautious.

"In fact, even in the reign of our ancestors, there was an incident in which the General himself punished the greatest minister."

"How was it then? Did you really work for him?

"I don't know. As for the details of the matter, there is a clamping order. I was still a kid, so I couldn't find out more."

It's fair to lay down a clamping order. Is that a serious incident?

"But... I couldn't hide who was punished just because I was dealing with him."

"Who was that?

"Fu, you're laying down a clamping order? How can I teach the lords of the exotic people not to be a samurai who can't hide anymore?

Ah, speaking of which, yes.

That's right. You can't usually tell me that, right?

"Anyway, that's why there are so many enemies in youth. That's why I wanted my uncle, Mitsu-sama, to stand behind me, learn how to be a politician, and then assault me on the position of a general... but it's not like that in the world. The mountain cherry blossom trail did me a lot of trouble."

Having said that, Harumi stands up and faces us again.

"I'll wait here for my young return. You and the others should rest as you were told."

"I see. Just in case, I'll take a walk through the village, see if the survivors of the Ronin have invaded, and then rest."

Hmm.

The truth is, I know there are no Ronins in exploration magic.

Still, I need to make sure that Harumi can wait with peace of mind.

Well, let's go.

"Yeah."

We circle around the village as we greet the people who are going.

"I don't know what it's like to be in a priest's village...."

Yeah, it's a very ordinary village.

As you walk through the village, your thoughts come to your mouth.

Yes, it is. This village was in any case an ordinary village.

Because it's a priest's village, I thought it was more like a temple in our country....

But I guess they're just ordinary villagers, except for some people.

They're heading to the field with their hands full.

And as they came to the entrance of the village, the gatekeepers guarding the entrance of the village and the hunter-like people were talking with difficult faces.

"Um, what happened?

When I call, the gatekeepers look at us. [M]

"Are you guys... oh, what a guest?"

Ahahah

I'm sorry to surprise you earlier.

Regardless, the doorman explained the situation to us as well.

"No, it's dangerous because there are too many monsters, so I think it's better to thin it out faster than planned."

"Think it's a trick?

"Ah, a monster I haven't seen around here lately has settled in a nearby forest. Apparently, that's what brought the neighboring monsters into the woods.

"It's a monster I've never seen before...."

Yeah, what is it? But the fact that the monsters are gathering may be a mutant monster.

Then it's dangerous to leave him alone.

"I mean, it's just this many people, so there's no magic trick. We need to gather more people."

Indeed, Mina is right, this is too short of manpower.

There are two gatekeepers and one hunter.

"Just in case, I'm going to ask the lord of the clan to send me personnel to fight monsters. But in the meantime, there were more monsters. Besides, it doesn't have anything to do with our guests."

And the doorman said something worrying.

"Did you come to this village for a ritual that happens once in decades? But in order to perform the ritual, we must go to the ruins outside the village. And in order to reach the ruins, we have to go through the woods."

Oh, that's enough. Certainly that wasn't other HR.

"And for everyone in the village to harvest in the woods, I want to reduce the number of monsters by as many as one in the meantime."

Indeed, the forest is an important place for many blessings.

We can't stay away from it because it's dangerous.

It's only natural that I want to reduce the number of monsters in order to solve the problem quickly.

And if it has anything to do with Yukinojo-san's ritual, there is no reason why we should not be involved.

"Then we can help."

"Eh!? Is that good!?"

The hunter shouts when he hears that we can help.

"We make the defeat of monsters our main business, so it will be quite a fighting force. You can use attack magic pretty well."

"That's not much, is it? But, well, we've escorted some of our customers to this village. You can count on it."

Mina also offered to help and winked at us.

Yeah, it feels like you don't have to say anything. I hope you feel like you're one of them.

"Heh, you're so young to be a good guard."

The hunter said he was impressed when he heard that we had come as escorts.

"I just don't have enough money to pay you guys."

But the doorman shouted in confusion that he could not pay for our help.

"Uh, that's it. I surprised you when I came here. I'm sorry about that."

Yeah, I was really surprised when I fought the Ronin earlier.

"Ah, is that it? That really surprised me."

"Oh, I thought this world was over."

Uh, I'm really sorry.

"Well, you're the owner of a Tondemoni ship like that. I'm sure you can count on it!

"But can you really help me?

"Yeah, I'll take care of it. After all, I'm free until Yukinojo-san's business is finished."

I'll tell Don to slap you in the chest.

At times like this, my acquaintance from the previous life said that it would remove the anxiety of the other person by showing confidence.

"Well, if that's the case, I'd love your help."

"Yes, leave it to me!

"I really appreciate it."

Thus we lost sight of the monster who had settled in the forest.

"By the way, what kind of monster have you never seen before?

As a precaution, I will ask you about the monsters that are causing the disturbances.

Mutant species are likely monsters, so it's better to have a little more information about them.

But the hunter is in trouble.

"It was a dim spot in the woods, and it was quick and dangerous, so I only saw it from afar."

"It doesn't matter."

"Okay. The monster I saw had a pure white body. Anyway, he fought faster, stronger, bigger monsters than himself without cowardice. Besides, he took down the strongest bear around here."

Great Demon Bear, is it a monster unique to this country? It seems like it's big enough to use magic.

Even so, it's a small white monster with a strong sense of struggle.

I don't know if it's just this much information.

But I do want to see a dangerous opponent.

"White, small... like I don't remember..."

Mina-san didn't seem to have any clues, and she couldn't identify the monster.

Well, white in nature is like telling someone where you are unless you're in a snowy country in the North.

Well, let's go, Mina.

"Yes, let's defeat Papa so that Yukinojo can get to the ceremony right away!

◆ Mysterious Monster ◆

--Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

There were hundreds of monsters under my nose.

The monsters are different from strong monsters, weak monsters, and monsters with special abilities.

Moreover, there is no single species.

There were many races, some hostile to each other, and others that were predator-to-predator relationships.

But the monsters waited silently for orders in front of me without contending.

Wait for my command, king of the monsters!

Fu, fufufufu, fuhahahahaha!

Yes, I was building a kingdom of monsters here.

Not only the monsters in the forest, but also the monsters in the mountains, the rivers, the plains, and even here in another forest, led and formed an army that followed me!

The fool who defied me was crushed and tasted delicious.

The monsters in this land are spicy and delicious. Oriental flavor!

Good taste, good strength, good loyalty and the monsters of this country are very capable.

This would make a mighty army loyal to my orders!

Fufufu, your husband's not here either, and he's crazy!

Let's live in this forest without even thinking about your husband!

Dgoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The moment I thought so, my army vanished with a sudden roar.

Clean and refreshing.

Looking from the tree, I fell from the extinct tree to the ground where it became a land.

... haaaaaaaa!?

What? What!? What happened now!?

Something's going on around here!?

There was no forest where I was!?

Where's my army!? There are no strong men!?

What happened!?

But wherever I looked, my men couldn't find a single hair.

No, there he is! Two shadows approach us from the other side of the plot.

Did you survive...?!

Huh? It's not a monster... no...

Geiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!?

Why!? Why are you here, Master!?

Wow, I have to run, but my body is trembling and I can't move.

No way!? My grand future design to form an army of monsters to rule this land!?

Gyaaaa! Gotcha!

Why!? My husband ran away from the coast to the back of the mountain so he wouldn't find me! I thought this was your chance to get away from your husband!

Yeah, I didn't expect your husband to die in such a storm! Holy shit!

My husband's hand rests on my head.

Wow, are you going to crush my head!?

You're mistaken, Master! I have no intention of rebelling!

Choroloro

Ofu, it's leaking.

Mina

"Wow, that's a lot of monsters."

Lex, who was searching for the monster in exploration magic, shouted in surprise.

I mean, you didn't have to use exploration magic to figure it out.

The trees around here are tall, so I was searching from above using both flight magic and exploration magic, but I didn't have to do that, and I knew where the monster was right away.

Somehow, a huge number of monsters were gathered in the middle of the forest.

Because even though they were hiding in tall trees, they could still see so many monsters.

Well, I'm glad we're looking from above.

I was walking around the ground searching, and I was about to bowl with that bunch of monsters without knowing anything.

"Oh, that's not the number of monsters in this forest, is it? How many of them are there...?

Despite the difficulty of searching the sky due to tall trees, I was able to see that the monster herd was spreading throughout most of the forest.

I'm afraid of knowing the exact number....

Hmm, there are thousands of them.

"Thousands!?"

What is that!? Aren't monsters gathering all over this country!?

"Well, what are we going to do!? If that many monsters attack, we won't be able to protect the village!?"

That village's walls won't make a cage castle.

I'm sure we can take Yukinojo and the others, but we can't run while protecting the priests.

I wonder if Lex's flying ship... could get us all aboard without the luggage?

"That's right. It's too much trouble, so let's crush them all here."

"Crusade!? All!?"

"Yes, let's defeat the whole area magically."

"Around the magic range, there are thousands of them!? But can Lex do it? But how? It's good for the first time, but it'll be scattered soon. If the boss running the monster gets away, it'll be harder next time."

Lex's magic is amazing, but I don't think it's possible to defeat thousands of monsters at once on a boulder.

We need to divide it into dozens of rounds.

Well, first we need to figure out where the boss is.

Because monsters are smarter than humans think.

Especially when it comes to bosses who can follow large swarms, there are many monsters who are not only good at power, but also good at wisdom.

"Yeah, I know. So....."

Lex will return it as well.

Is there a good solution to this problem?

That's right, that's why you're trying to do such a rude thing.

"I will put all the monsters in range and destroy them all!

"It was a more powerful operation than I thought!

So, can you do it!? Killing thousands of monsters at once!?

The magic Lex used in his memory was truly amazing.

But I've never seen Tondemoni magic that crushes thousands of monsters with a single blow.

Is there really magic in such a myth!?

"So, is the forest okay to take down that many monsters!?"

"That's right. It would be a little troublesome to defeat so many monsters without damage. So let's make it crisp and fresh, and then use plant magic and specialty fertilizer to grow the forest and regenerate it quickly without growing it."

The solution should have been stronger!?

"Oh, don't worry. I use exploration magic to keep humans safe."

"Ah, yeah. Yes, that's important."

"The monsters have solidified in one place, and now we can minimize the damage to the surrounding land."

Oh, you were just thinking about it and trying to wipe it out.

"And I will narrow the perimeter as far as I can."

When Lex concentrates, there's a lot of magic gathering around him.

Zazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

Even I'm not as good at perceiving signs as a bandit, but I can see that the woodland animals who perceived the anomaly rush away.

"Don't monsters even notice this?

"It's okay because we're away from the monsters. The nearest outermost monster may notice, but it's impossible to escape because it's already bordered by monsters."

"Eh!? When!?"

Not only did you defeat monsters, but you also prepared a boundary to keep them from escaping!?

"All right, let's go! Inferno Country!"

It was surprisingly ordinary balls of fire that appeared by Lex's magic.

The balls of fire burst into rupture when they are thrown at the ground.

Could it have failed? That was the moment I thought about it.

Dgoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Nh!?"

With the explosion, the flame spreads into the forest in an instant, creating a huge and distorted circle.

"Ha!?"

It was a real moment.

Those little balls of fire swallowed the monsters that had gathered together in a flash.

"N-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n

"It is a widespread extermination magical inferno country. Flame Inferno is a grasshopper magic for burning straight lines, but this is a scope-specific grasshopper magic for exterminating a wide range of pests and beasts."

"Range-specific?

"Yes, we can burn only the compartments specified by the surgeon to clean the land and fields in a snuff form. So, if you look closely, there are still trees in the area, right? There are no monsters, there are trees."

If you ask me, there are trees and places that are not burning despite being within range.

"This magic alone is fine, but it is an important food for priests and forest animals. Protecting with the magic of the junction just now. Oh, I'm protecting the average beast who's running late from flying into the flames."

"It's too much to be exhausted!?"

Hey!? What is it!? Not only does it attack an incredible range, but it also removes the designated part from the attack range!? And expand it together to the same size boundary!?

How could you do that!?

Nevertheless, there's nothing I can do about the plants at the foot of the monster.

"It's too much!

The scale of care is too different!

"Ah, that's it. What, that? How long have you survived?

Huh?

I feel surprised by Lex's suspicious voice.

Don't tell me there's a monster who survived this!?

A monster who can survive such a monstrous magic!?

"Let's go. Maybe that's the boss of the herd that the priests were talking about."

"Eh... yeah"

In Rex's words, I maximize body strengthening magic.

I followed Lex desperately while suppressing my inner fear of what kind of monster he would be fighting.

Do not descend directly underneath the opponent and descend slightly off the ground.

Lex is ahead, and I'll follow you from behind.

"I won't be very helpful, but I'll make you look blind!

I snorted my throat in anticipation of the coming fierce battle.

Is that it?

and Lex shouted strangely.

Then he approached the monster that was left behind.

"I mean, aren't you too vigilant!?"

But if Lex doesn't feel worried about me, he gets closer and closer to the monster.

Conversely, the monster seemed to be confused by Lex's attitude.

And Lex confronts the monster.

... is that it? Compared to Lex, that monster is much smaller...?

"After all, you're Mohmov!

"Eh!? Mohmov!?"

What!? The rumored monster was a Mohmov!?

"The more I became, the more defensive magic I put in my raised corner wheel was activated to protect me from the Inferno Country."

"Cucu, cucu..."

Mohmov trembles with a pull in Lex's words.

"Well, those monsters chased me and ran away. It's okay now."

Lex gently lifts Mohmov.

"Cumming!?"

The lifted Mohmov raised his voice as if frightened.

"It's okay, Mohmov. I got rid of all the scary ones."

Cufu ~

That said, as Lex gently stroked Mohmov's head, Mohmov cried as if he was relieved or weakened....

Chorus chorus chorus....

I peed.

"Wow!? What's wrong, Mohmov!?"

"Yeah, that's right. If all of a sudden the monsters around you burn up and burn to death, you'll be scared."

When I encountered the same eye, I thought I would definitely leak it, but it was me who didn't say anything.

◆

"Still, I'm glad we found Mohmov. In a sense, the hardest thing to find was Mohmov."

"Cucucucum ~"

You must have been relieved to see us again.

Mohmov was weak in my arms. [M]

"Speaking of which, yes. The gyros would have searched the town, they would have searched for us from themselves, but this kid can't do it."

"That's right. And in the worst case scenario, there was a danger of being attacked by humans or caught in sight."

"Ah, yeah, in that case, it's dangerous."

Anyway, it's really good to see you again.

We return to the village rejoicing in our reunion with Mohmov.

I'm back.

When I return to the village, the gatekeepers who guarded the entrance greet me with a warm face.

"Oh, you guys are okay! I was worried about the sudden big noise!

"Thank you for your concern. The monsters who were leading the herd of monsters were crushed by the herd, so there's no need to worry anymore."

"What!? You've already crushed me!?"

"And the whole herd!?"

"Yes"

"Wow, guys!

The gatekeepers praise us with excitement that they were deeply surprised.

"It's not that big a deal."

"You didn't do anything to me."

"No, no, don't be modest. We were doing everything we could to get one or two monsters back. Thanks to you, everyone in the village can sleep with peace of mind."

"Ahahah, it's worth it if you say so."

"It's not us. I didn't do anything this time."

After explaining to the gatekeepers that the monsters are no longer worried, we will return to the Mansion as it is.

It's about time that Yukinojo-san's general assassination ceremony was over.

That's what I thought.

"Rex! Master Mina!"

A priest came running from the Mansion.

"What is it? What's wrong?

He seems to be in a strange hurry to pick us up.

Is something wrong?

"Yes, it's hard!

Something wrong?

"Yukinoji was attacked by a Magus and wounded!

"Nh, what is it!?"

Thus, when we came home from work, soon after the break, we were caught up in the next incident.
