Reincarnated into a Werewolf, the Demon Lord Servants

Gaiden 29

What kind of job do you do for Fliede, a deputy apprentice?

In the first place, the job of an assistant secretary differs considerably depending on the type of job and the position of the assistant.

I'm a Demon Lord's deputy secretary, so I often do things like demon king's outside sales that can't move much.

Ilia is better at internal work, and there are Aindorf family aides and council officials.

Ilia wakes up thinking about that in bed.

Her Majesty gets out of bed and drops a drop of perfume on her ankle and strokes her ragged hair.

She smiled at me, noticing my gaze.

With that smile, I just say what I thought.

"You don't change ... No, I feel better than before."

Immediately, Ilia blushed and coughed small.

"Isn't that true? I'm an old woman with children."

"Humbly, His Majesty the Devil"

I grin grin.

The bride seems to be getting better year by year, probably because of the years I spent together.

Kite and Forne were saying the same thing.

Ilia was ashamed and suddenly changed the topic.

"By the way, about Friede."

"Yup?"

"Students who should be trained as counselor or military aide are advocacy and arithmetic, and history and bookkeeping, but I've studied some of that in elementary school."

"That's right. Everyone who has gone out of elementary school is now able to do some work."

Even though it is compulsory education level in the past life, it is quite difficult in this world.

Only the wealthy can receive this level of education.

Many people are poorly literate and can only write words about their name and work.

Those who are a little more educated will read and write in the texts of Huiyang, but not half of the citizens.

"Even though I'm still immature, I wonder if I can think of the basics of paperwork.

It is not bad to accompany the inspection as part of a social tour.

It is not good to treat your child as special, so let's take another child.

I was working in the morning thinking about that, and Humino, a diplomat in Wa, arrived.

"Vaito, in the case of the wind-swept desert."

"Oh, we're getting budget estimates. Working in the desert is expensive."

"No, that's ..."

Fumino has an unusually serious look.

I laid down the pen and stared at her.

"What happened?"

Humino reports that a member of Wa's investigative team was missing.

"As we proceeded further inland from the previous survey point, all the advance units had disappeared. The following units were within visible distance of the advance units, but were caught in a sandstorm ..."

It was said that there was no advance unit after the subsequent party had overrun the sandstorm.

"Although rescue should normally be a priority, the wind ripple desert is a dangerous area. There is a danger of double distress, and subsequent units retreat after confirming the situation."

"It's a wise decision."

If the follower goes missing, you won't know the truth. I didn't want to blame them for being miserable.

"The inland seems like a pretty dangerous place. Did past research show several deaths?"

"Yes. In addition to the climate, there were dragon bandits in the sand, and dangerous monsters."

The Dragon Tribe Band is part of our legend of the Blue Knight Bartce.

The Ryujin in the Wind Ridge Desert is a dependable force for the investigators, as he has succumbed the bandits with bravery and ambition.

"Speaking of demons, it's a desert where magic is exhausted. At best it's a scorpion or insect?"

"Yes. After that, it's blood-sucking cacti. When people or beasts come in for water, they draw blood with a sharp needle."

I want one stock for research, but she is too dangerous to secure.

"Everything isn't enough to destroy the entire survey team ..."

"Yes. There may be natural phenomena such as quicksand, but it may be an unknown monster. It's a bit difficult because we can't advance the investigation team until the cause is known."

ah I see.

"So you came to me?"

"I'm wisdom."

Fumino smiles.

Not only this person, but there is a section where everyone thinks that if I come to my place, it will work.

I can't help but do something.

After Fumino returns, I will consider selecting a research team from Miraraldia.

He used to take a kite back in the old days, but he's the one who stands at the top of all the magicians at Mirardia as a magician.

I do a lot of important research and I can't just pull it out. It's too dangerous in the unlikely event.

After all, it's easy to get rid of it by the werewolf corps. Five squads would be fine because of supply problems. Centering on the Hammam squad that is used to the desert, will you later organize with a young man with physical strength?

Yes, let's take Parker.

Yeah, I felt like that.

But then I had completely forgotten about Friede.

And, as expected, I was descending into the Rippled Desert, led by 16 elite men of the werewolf squad.

Of course Friede is the same.

"Is it finally here ..."

I remember Ilia's worried face before departure.

This time, we left Milardia by sea to join the Wa research team. He traveled east along the southern Shizumi along the land, and landed on the coast of the Wind Ridge Desert.

The scenery looks like the Tottori Sand Dunes, but the scale is very different. There are only rocks and sand beyond the horizon.

Friede is thrilled with the first sands he sees, defending himself with goggles and hood.

"Wow! It's full of sand, so if you're thinking about it, it's smooth!"

"The sand in the desert sand is extremely weathered and looks like flour. Cover your mouth and nose with food."

"Yeesss!"

I don't get seasick or sea breeze, what is this mental strength?

On my plan, I thought I would stay on the ship with the Away Squad of the werewolf squad ...

She was honoring my daughter.

While admiring her daughter's growth, I will fulfill my responsibilities for the time being.

"Oh, Friede. I'm not here for sightseeing. It's up to me to join the Wa research team."

"Ah, yes! I'm sorry, deputy!"

Friede salutes.

Okay, the distinction between public and private has come. Good trend.

As soon as Friede reads my expression, she glances at me.

"Dad, was there anything good?"

"No?"

This is right away.

"Friede, keep quiet with the other apprentices."

"Yes, Lieutenant"

Yeah, good.

This time, not only Friede, but also a dragon boy Shirin and a Rolmund wolf boy Joshua are accompanied.

The human students also wanted to accompany them, but they were too dangerous and were restricted to demons only.

Although Shirin and Joshua are children, they have the skills and stamina of a full-fledged warrior.

Parker says something while removing bones and wiping his joints.

"The fine sand in my joints is going to cause my bones to wear out. I don't want to lose any more of my remaining creatures. That's it! "

I didn't know.

"Vaid, Vaid. Isn't that a research team for Wa? I see, that side of the cove."

In the direction Parker pointed, there was a small camp made of tents and fences.

A stream that resembles a Sengoku daimyo is flying. Wa's coat of arms ... is that a cat race? I can't imagine a crest of a paws.

"Shall we go"

When we arrived at the camp, the cats were, as expected, welcomed. There are about twenty, and several other dragons.

Ryujins have long lived in the Wind Ridge Desert and are not soldiers of the Demon King. It has sand-colored scales, and is called the Sandscale Clan.

Today, he has a friendly relationship with both Miraldia and Wa, and is guaranteed to live in the desert desert.

However, the condition is that "we will not attack caravans of both countries in the future."

The cats are sailors and traders in Wa and are adventurous. A civilian.

"We are the Demon Army's Deputy Deputy Deputy, Weid von Eindorf. He is also a member of the Council."

The dragons look at each other on my name and then bow silently.

I know from my long association with the dragons, but as far as humans are concerned, they seemed to jump up and give astonishment.

In fact, they are saying this.

"What is King Milardia's deputy secretary ..."

"Is it true that the Demon King is angry?"

"We haven't broken our covenant, and maybe there's a tough time ..."

You should be scared of the Demon King's dignity.

The rampage of the Barcese and the Knights of the Scales when the bandits surrendered appears to have given the Sandscale clans considerable fear.

I'll explain to them so they don't make useless misunderstandings.

"No, not at all. His Majesty the King is very worried about the Clan of the Sunscales. He and his direct troops have been dispatched to prevent further human losses."

The dragons of the sand scales bow deeply into this word.

"Thank you for the mercy of His Majesty the King. Let's cooperate with the Demon Army in honor of the Sand People."

I nod.

"Thank you.

It would be much easier to join the Demon King's army, but the country of Wa is trying to bring them in to expand its power.

Their belongings are a future diplomatic matter, as they cannot help scouting themselves.

Cats, on the other hand, are strangely unfriendly.

"Isn't this failure because of us?"

"Yeah, I did the job right after that."

"Even after the people disappeared, I searched for it."

Haha, I see.

And, as expected, Friede are excited to see the cats.

"Wow, it's cute! Like a dog!"

"Daughter, we are much more cute than dogs."

"Yeah, so I'm not negligent."

Cats suddenly added the ending "nya" to the Friedes and began selling them.

Alright, I understand.

I ask them while keeping Friede away from the cats.

"Did you do something you want to back?"

"You're not meow?"

These days, I'm more of a dog, so flirting is useless.

"Maybe he's been alive because he's late from his main unit, or something like that."

Cats with their backs upright.

"That's not the case !? The human captain acknowledged me," I'll follow you later! "

"That's right! So I lie down a little, water and dried meat."

Hoh, is that something?

I teach Friedes the following.

"Cats are lazy and selfish .... No, it's harder to find a lazy and less selfish, but in a particularly terrible way."

"It's terrible ..."

I've always lived without having to work.

It's not their fault.

After all, the cats honestly confessed:

The Wa research team was a small group of humans, dragons, and cats.

The investigators and the escort Ryujin were ahead, but the cats who helped were behind the march and seemed to be some distance away.

There was a sandstorm, and when the cats noticed, all members of the unit were gone.

Apparently it is like that.

I cross my arms and look down at the trembling cats.

"Because you are civilians, Wa Tamon will not be heavily punished. I'll be with you too."

"Yes, yes."

"Forgive me……"

Despite the nervousness of the cats, the bottom of their hearts is that they should say, "Forgive me quickly, otherwise I will not."

That's why I stick my nails.

"But this time you'll be working with the Demon King's army. Because the Demon King's army is a discipline, discipline is strict. You can do it. "

`` Hi !! ''

This is true, but of course no one is abusing.

No, should it be gone? Those men are limited to his men and have all died on the former northern front.

After giving enough threat, I smiled.

"If you work properly, your rewards will bounce, and you'll get the liquor and dried fish on board.

"Yay!"

"The motivation to work has come up!"

You shouldn't pay in the future, but they're easy to buy, so they're easy to handle.

In this way, I will form a research team consisting of 17 werewolf and 1 half-wolf, 5 dragons and 6 cats, and then a bone. A total of thirty people were to be led. The rest is on camping and boating.

Let's start investigating the missing investigator to proceed with the search for the Wind Desert.

However, there is already much anticipation ...

After walking for half a day through the endless rock and sand landscape, the leading desert dragons suddenly stop.

"Here it is"

Even if it is said here, the landscape has not changed a while ago.

The same was thought of Friede.

"There is no landmark, how do you know?"

"I know, Son of Man."

Warriors with sandy scales do not move.

I guess it's probably the same mechanism as a migratory bird, and I tell Friede.

"They are the same as migratory birds, they have compass in their bodies."

In this world, there is no geomagnetic word yet, so it is difficult to explain.

"Fan ...?"

Friede curiously looked up at the dragons, but the unfriendly men were standing up in the dust without blinking.

Then they continued:

"We remained as guards of the cats at the time of the incident.

"I see, mystery is hidden in this area ..."

According to them, the sandstorm was brief but intense, and it was not possible for birds to fly.

The cats were so light that they were clinging to the dragons so that they would not be blown away.

Nevertheless, it wouldn't have been enough to fly humans or dragons in travel. In fact, the dragons who survived with the cats endure.

"If the cause is not empty ..."

When I look at my feet, everyone looks at my feet.

"On the ground?"

Then one of the cats opens his mouth.

"But, Deputy Secretary, I went all the way to check that the main unit was gone? If there is something on the ground, am I safe?"

There is a reason.

But I thought a bit and then came up with a hypothesis.

"Let's think that there was something under the ground that cats were safe and humans and dragons were not."

"What is something?"

I'll look into that in the future.

I remember the secret tactics learned from the elders the other day.

Combine that with magic spells, and it may work out.

"Parker, lend me your head."

"Well, my intellect seems likely to be useful?"

Parker, who was free, suddenly makes a happy voice.

I shook my head.

"No, I'm asking you to lend me only my skull."

`` Would you say something good !? ''

"I don't plan on competing with my brothers in Dajale."

It ’s okay to take it off your head soon.

I hold Parker's head aside. It is left behind because it is in the way from the neck.

Then I applied silence to my feet. Now only my footsteps disappear. This is a magic that can counteract the vibration of the air with magic, so it can also cancel the vibration of the ground to some extent.

Then use magic to lighten the body, or more precisely, to reduce gravity. This has reduced my weight to about 20%. About the same as cat people.

After that, gently step into the sand using the walking method taught by the elders.

Parker's skeleton then murmurs as if impressed.

"Hey, almost no footprints remain."

"Make it quiet. It won't make sense to silence it."

"Okay, is this okay?

Suddenly I was talked to the spirit body, but this is what the necromancer can do.

But I'm surprised, so please refuse.

This would be the same level as a quiet walk of a cat person. Nothing underground should respond.

"I'll go."

"Are you insane?"

Squad leader Hammam of the werewolf sighed as if stunned, but I waved at him.

"This method works only for me. In the case of reconnaissance, increasing the number of people increases the danger. You are waiting here."

"But you are a Deputy Deputy Demon King ... no, it's okay"

Hammam seems to have given up on my persuasion soon after years of association.

I laughed at him and ordered him later.

"If something happens to me, immediately carry Parker's torso and withdraw temporarily. I have Parker's head, so I know where I am."

"Wouldn't you treat me like a useful tool ..."

"I'm counting on you, Brothers"

"Oh, is that so? I can't help it .. Then use me as your right arm."

Even though he is said to have his right arm, he has only a head now.

Friede looks worried.

"Dad, okay ...?"

"Don't worry, it's almost predictable, and Parker will help you if something unexpected happens."

Parker is amazed.

"Of course I'll do my best ... but you really like dangerous things."

"If I put it away alone, wouldn't anyone die?"

"Your way is absolutely wrong !? I'll change it soon!"

can not hear.

Well go?
