Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri (LN)

A few days have passed since Maria disappeared.

We were heading south on the streets.

"Take this north-south stretch of the street and you'll reach the entrance to the Southern Tree Sea, Dana."

"Right. I need directions, Rack."

Check the map at your desk.

During his wandering years a few years ago, Rack also had experience visiting southern regions.

According to the story at that time, we need to go first through the southern tree sea in front of us in order to make our way to the South Sea islands where Maria is.

That's right. Rack is also dangerous. To the southern tree sea, he said, he has never set foot.

"And Yamato. Are we really the only ones who can rescue the Virgin?

Lienhardt, a rider side-by-side with a carriage convoy, asks worryingly.

Because the only Marian rescue unit this time is the usual Uld carriage convoy. I was stopping by the Sacred Capital in preparation.

But I turned down the offer to accompany the Romanus Holy Knights.

"Indeed, the arms of the Holy Knight can be relied upon. But not for this rescue."

Explain it plainly to Leanhardt.

Maria, indeed, is the Virgin, a symbol (symbol) of the Romanus Church. It is normal for the Holy Knights to head to the rescue once they have thought about it in common sense.

But to get to the islands that have disappeared, we need to get through the dangerous southern sea of trees. It is difficult for them in the Knights to be unresponsive.

"Right. If you ask me, yes."

Leanhardt convinces me of the explanation.

When this man also met, he was a knight of unapplied solidity.

But after many journeys with me, I had grown greatly now. He is a man who can be counted on even on for journeys like this one.

"But it's Yamato. The South Tree Sea isn't a real pain in the ass."

From Sildria, who seemed free on the carrier, a voice of advice is raised.

Her native Hizan empire had been in contention with the Nanban tribes of the Tree Sea for many years. For this reason, I am familiar with the information on the southern tree sea.

According to it, even with the mighty military power of the Empire, it is impossible to pass through the sea of trees. The deep tree sea itself is said to be a natural fortress.

"I see. When those Imperial Knights can't get out, that's a lot."

I admire her as she takes her advice.

The strength of the Knights of the Hizan Empire was felt by me too in the combined struggle of the Giant Dragon Agni Crusade. Their assault, fearless of death for their homeland, is no exaggeration to say the best on the continent.

The sea of trees, which even such an imperial army cannot escape, would be a real difficulty.

"But if you have Yamato, you'll be fine."

Isis, riding behind your table, speaks positively.

He says it's okay because he's been through a lot of difficulties. She was cheering up the air on the field for me.

"Oh, right. If everyone's here, we'll be fine."

I go ahead with the carriage while agreeing with her.

This rescue squad is the usual member, by the way.

The women are Leisha and Isis, Sildria. The men are Rack and Leanhardt. The rest are the children of Gaton, the old blacksmith, and the village of Uld.

"Speaking of which, is Isis and Leanhardt okay without going back to Orn?

Ask Isis, who has accompanied him as a matter of course.

She is a dignitary on behalf of Taishou in the trading city of Orn. Is it okay to be away from the city again for a long time?

"Maria is a dear friend... I know you can't go help her."

Isis answers with a smile.

After the Orn offensive of the Spiritual Beast War, they were bound by a strong bond. would be a sincere friend with no age difference, identity or country separation

"And when you go to New Heaven and Earth with Yamato, the result is a great profit for Orn."

"I see. The connection between people and the economy."

Isis is usually a little natural in character. But these kinds of economies were excellent.

She has been the Hizan Empire and the Holy Kingdom of Romanus. pioneering new trading routes with those two countries. The relay point, Orn, continued to develop.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Riesha. Are you feeling all right?

"Yes... but my heart is a little more..."

Speak to Reesha, who is not well next to your table.

She had sunk since the day Maria disappeared. Communication magic props, which are still the shape of my sister. He grips it and looks a little blue.

"Maria and I haven't heard from each other since... I'm worried..."

As she said, shortly after she disappeared, the communications on the magic props were connected.

But after that, no matter how many calls, there was no response from Maria.

Reesha's sensation is that her sister is safe. But he was too worried and depressed.

"It's okay, Mr. Riesha. Oh, look, Maria's strong."

Encourage her like that.

Indeed, Maria is not a samurai.

However, he has met with a myriad of secrets as a Virgin. So cheer up that it's okay.

"Besides, Maria is the owner of an indomitable soul that beats even that god of heaven, while being a man's. Mr. Riesha's sister is stronger than anyone."

I believe in Maria, too.

During the Spiritual Beast War, she stood up for Orn rescue. The curse of the heavenly goddess, which no one of the holy virgins of history could bear. She's the only woman who beat it.

"Right, Mr. Yamato...... thank you. I believe in Maria, too."

Reesha's expression gets a little brighter.

Believing in my sister, I was getting my usual self back.

"Maria is stubborn and strong, like her sister."

"Right, Sildria. Not only are you strong, but you're a very similar sister in love."

"Hey, hey, Syldria and Isis! Don't let this happen!

Risha swells her cheeks when they are both stuck together.

"Bye. That face sounds like Riesha's the best."

"That's... maybe it is. Thank you, Sildria. Isis."

I noticed something, and Risha had a brighter look.

Those who behaved earlier would also have been a way of encouraging Isis.

Maybe it's a friendship without taboos between women. Still a noisy way of encouraging though.

"Dear Yamato, I'm sorry for your concern. It's... it's okay."

Risha was completely rejuvenated. Indeed, the disappearance of sister Maria is a major incident.

But the dark atmosphere doesn't suit the Uld carriage convoy. Whatever difficulties we have had so far, we have all moved forward.

This rescue operation is also positive. And it would be auspicious to proceed calmly.

"All right. We're just getting better, Mr. Riesha, and we're gonna go a little faster."

"Roger, Brother Yamato!

"That's a transmission in the rear, too!

Children move out in unison as instructed. Gradually the speed or increase of the carriage convoy.

"Maria... wait..."

We were going south on such a Leisha wish style.

◇

Then the day goes on.

We arrived in a city in the south of the continent called Unan.

"Dana the Yamato. This is the last city."

"Right, Rack. Then we'll make supplies."

Unan was the last city in front of the sea of trees.

From here on out is an undeveloped zone not under the power of any nation. Food and consumables need to be adequately replenished.

We split up into squads to shop for supplies downtown.

"Oh you guys...... are you going to go to that tree sea from now on ⁉"

The shop owner who stopped by comes to visit with trembling.

He would have listened to us on the side. Extremely reacting to the word Southern Tree Sea.

"Oh, yeah. through the Southern Tree Sea to the South Sea Islands."

Show me the map and tell me where you're going.

This trip has nothing to hide in particular. Rather, it would be beneficial to gather information by telling us what the purpose was.

"Ba, silly ⁉ those tree seas are nestled with cannibals!

The shopkeeper warns me with a trembling voice.

Said a savage nation boasts of power in the tree sea. Everyone who comes any closer to the forest is slaughtered and eaten out of his head, he said.

"You think the Nanbans are cannibals? Is that true, Rack?

"Hmm. I've heard that rumor before."

Even if I checked with Rack, who is an informant, it was the same information.

He said there was no life for those who saw the Nambarians. They say it is passed down to the southern part of the continent, as it used to be.

"But if we don't get close to the tree sea, it's harmless. Like this city of Unan."

"I see. Maybe the Nanban tribe is close to the clan."

Summarize the information while listening to the store owner and rack.

The Southern Tree Sea is vast and rich in land. If we cut through the woods, it would be a wonderful farmland.

But under the forces of the dangerous Nanban tribe, the neighbouring countries have also given up so far. And their tribe says trees abroad have no history of invasion.

"Even though they say cannibal barbarians, they don't come in outside? Some crazy stories, huh?

Find inconsistencies while organizing information.

The Nanban tribe is a force that even strikes back the Hizan Empire.

It would be easy to control, for example, the urban state outside the tree sea if that were to bother you. But they were stuck in the sea of trees for a long time.

"Is there a reason? Or is the rumor wrong? It could be both."

I like to gather information, but I believe dancing to rumors is a foolishness. The information obtained here on the Nanban tribe shall also be kept to the extent of reference.

"Speaking of which, Sildria, can't you go to the South Sea Islands by boat?

"The South China Sea is home to giant spiritual beasts, Yamato."

If it is dangerous to pass through the tree sea by land, there are also sea routes. Sildria answers knowing the information about it.

Her story says that the South China Sea has been home to aquatic spiritual beasts since antiquity.

He said there was also a history of the total annihilation of Empire ships in the past. There are no merchant ships passing through the South China Sea because of it.

"I see, can't you do it by sea? There's no other way out of this continent."

From what I've seen so far, the shipbuilding technology in this world is not that expensive.

Even the two great nations, the Hizan Empire and the Holy Kingdom of Romanus, have not invented the technology of pelagic navigation. According to the story, there are also no measuring instruments such as compasses or quartile definitions.

"It seems there are dangerous aquatic spirits in every sea, Dana, from ancient times"

"I see, more than dangerous routes, is that why safe land routes have developed"

The downturn in navigational technology was caused by aquatic spiritual beasts descending on the seas everywhere. It is said that using the ship is also the extent to which it travels at close range.

"But being unable to use the sea route is a big problem financially."

The sea routes are excellent from the point of view of energy efficiency and transport. Sea conditions where ships that can carry large quantities of supplies inexpensively cannot be used.

When we think about the future of this continent, it may be our top priority.

Anyway, the more inefficient distribution becomes, the more economically distressed and hungry the weaker come out. We need to think about this issue in the future.

"Hmm, kid. Were you here? I'm done tweaking my legs."

It was a good time to replenish in the store.

Gaton came to report in a carriage. I finished adjusting the carriage I asked for.

"Right, Jii from Gaton. The boulders are fast at work."

"Hey, Yamato. Are you really going to go through the tree sea with this?

Everyone gathered for the arrival of the carriage.

Leanhardt, the first of its kind to see, is surprised by the adjusted carriage.

"Oh, yeah. I've done some test runs in the Woods."

The wagon that arrived in front of the store changed shape slightly. The car height is considerably higher and the wheels have been modified.

"Yamato, what's on this wheel... is it the skin of a spiritual beast?

"Oh. Yes, Mr. Riesha. It works immensely on anti-slip"

Explain the modified carriage to everyone.

Among the spiritual beasts that have been retained, there was an anti-slip outer skin. It's being machined and worn on wheels.

"Plus we're raising the car height to improve the runability of the wasteland with enhanced suspension"

In addition to the wheels, modifications were also made to the body. Reference was made to the suspension of modern Japanese off-road cars so that they could also run on bad roads.

The maximum speed and ride is inferior to normal street mode. But the wilderness, which improves on its runability, was also a mode.

This modification itself was applied when I was in the village of Uld. All we had to do was rent Unan's workshop and make the final adjustments.

"Han horses are originally wild horses. So it's okay in the woods."

The Han Girl Clan proudly explains as she strokes the horse in the carriage.

As the word goes, the horsepower of a ham horse is not half as good. Even when I drove the test in the Woods of Uld, he ran me through the Beast Road pulling the carrier.

"This is different from the last time we were in the Imperial Tree Sea, we can all travel together."

During an investigation of the Hizan Empire's tree sea ruins a few years ago, he was forced to travel on foot. For this reason, women and children were the role of the voicemail.

But with the modified new carriage, we can all go through the Southern Tree Sea. On his return, Maria is also a stone and two birds.

"That's Yamato."

"Well, Riesha. The idea of such a ridiculous ride is not as big as a continent as Yamato."

Ordinary carriages cannot run on the beast path.

Sildria and the others were impressed as they looked at the reshaped carriage. Especially at the last Imperial Tree Sea, Riesha, who was leaving a message, seems happy.

"Well, it's a waste of time. It's time to leave."

We needed to hurry towards the Southern Tree Sea.

Maria is still safe after Leisha's senses have made her missing.

But the destination is the undisclosed South Sea Islands. I want to rescue her as soon as possible.

"You... be especially careful with cannibals..."

"Oh. I'll let you come back on your way home"

With a greeting from the bright-faced shopkeeper for a reunion, we left Unan's city.

Across the road is a deep green southern tree sea that stretches forward. And the final destination is the South Sea Islands, which lie ahead of us through the tree sea.

"In the Southern Tree Sea, the Southern Barbarians... don't really feel dangerous"

I feel dangerous signs from the sea of trees ahead.

But we pushed forward to help our people.
