Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

Episode 46: That silly prick. No, the story?

"Brave? What the hell?

A cat named Willis started naming herself a brave man. You mean it's not just a cosplay group?

"Yes, I am a brave man who saves the world. Without me, the world will die!

"Huh? Save the world?

"I guess the Great Demon King is back! I'm the only one who can defeat that great demon king! You're a brave man to save the world, so help me, right?

The Great Demon King is me, swallow the word. Looks like they've attracted the troublesome ones again. But even if they rot, they are cats who call themselves brave. What about that skill?

... low skill! Instead of being opponents, surviving so far in the woods is a miracle in itself. I didn't know you'd be brave with this skill... You don't know the world or you're an idiot. With royalty, the former? No, either.

"You guys have lived in this forest a lot. Quite a lot of demons, this forest?

"... when I got on the Transition Magic Formation, I got here"

A cat girl labeled Amalia answers. Metastatic magic formation? You got something like that? Where is it?

"... as soon as we were transported here, they disappeared"

What the fuck?

"Where is your Lord's house? Show me there first. If it's close to a village or town, it doesn't matter. I don't say luxury at this time. Please."

A cat man labeled as Juliel comes up and talks to me. I don't say extravaganza, but what I'm saying is quite extravaganza.

"My house? No. If it's a nearby village, it's a day's walk from here. Of course, on grown-up feet. Good luck walking."

The face of the brave man and the princess hardens.

"The Great Demon King is back! If you don't defeat the Great Demon King, you'll die! You can't take him down without me!

"You can't do that."

I do my best to unleash the LV4 fire magic. Snow dissolves and parts of the forest turn into scorched earth.

"At least, if this much magic can't be shot, the Great Demon King will not be able to grate it, nor will he be able to make it through this forest. Can you guys shoot as much magic as this? If you can't shoot me, you better make a plan to get home early."

"Isn't that amazing! Be happy, I'll put you in my party! Come on! Protect us and let's head under the Great Demon King!

... after all, he looks like an asshole. What kind of thought circuit does it take to get this conversation through? Idiots are scared.

"I have no interest in you, in the Great Demon King, or in the demise of the world. Besides, even if the world dies, I'm not going to let you guys protect me. Who are you people asking to crusade against the Great Demon King?

Everyone shuts up.

"I'm guessing you guys are just naming brave men on your own, aren't you? Brave men are recognized by others. Even a 3-year-old can say what a self-proclaimed/brave man is. I don't even know what I'm capable of. I can ask you about the Great Demon King Crusade and the Brave Men. If you want to play brave, do it in your own house. Don't involve others."

"You rude bastard, I won't forgive you!

A self-proclaimed brave man pulled out his sword.

"I'm trying to protect you! I'm telling you to save the world, why don't you thank me!

"I'm not asking for you. What you're doing is a" bona fide push ". Clearly, it's annoying. Instead, thank you for hanging out so far with your nasty stories."

"You!"

The sword will wave down against me. I fold the sword. But it won't break. Looks like a pretty sturdy sword.

"Heh, heh, heh. This is a sword made of Orihalcon. It's a treasure sword of our country. I can't allow you to give me an opinion at Shiro's minute, now it's in two... ghoul!

My fist pierces Willis' belly without having to hear the words to the end. And bust that face out of my mind.

Willis, who blew away as his nose bled, crashed into the trees and collapsed as he did.

"Ugh, ugh"

"That's why I told you. You're weak. In this forest, he definitely dies.

"If our attitude bothered you, I apologize. Please, help me. At least just Prince Willis and Princess Shayla, please help me."

A cat and daughter named Amalia come to me desperately begging. Apparently, this girl seems to make sense.

Then I asked this Amalia about the upside so far. I could see a lot with my correctional skills, but I even felt like I could see something I didn't want to see, so I dared to ask Amalia.

These cats came from Piao, across the sea on the north side of the Duchy of Niza. This country, they say, has been created by cats through their own evolution. It is not uncommon for demons to form herds and build kingdoms, but this cat tribe has made history while embracing human culture, he said.

This self-proclaimed brave Willis is the five sons of the contemporary king, and Sheila is his sister. Amalia and Juliel apparently serve as their respective companions.

A few years ago, the awesome demon who rose from the kingdom of Juka also grasped the Piao kingdom and thought the Great Demon King was resurrected. For the time being, he had decided to observe it statically unless there was damage to the country, but this unfamiliar prince didn't say he would crusade.

Until then, he was this prince who was often lazy in both his scholarship and his martial arts, but from the day he set his goal for the Great Demon King crusade he began to take his scholarship and his training seriously. The ministers were initially relieved, but this prince grew more and more, and his confidence became overwhelmed. And this time, he took out the treasure sword and armor of the land, and followed his sister and his servants, and went out with you. Naturally, I haven't got the king's permission. If you crusade the Great Demon King, you will not be blamed for your actions. It is as silly as it was in the picture.

"There's no food to go back to, there's no place to rest, so you're gonna die like this"

Amalia begs desperately. I tied the line on the four of us without saying anything. A certain temperature has been maintained, and, moreover, the bonds which confer untouchable effects on those who are hostile to them or who seek to cause harm.

"I put a line on you guys. It will hold until the night after tomorrow. Good luck getting to the village by then. From here, in the western direction. I can see the river after a while. Walk west along that river and you'll go out to the village. I guess I'm hungry too. Leave the food here. Smoked bread and meat. Share each and take it, it'll be enough."

I take food out of infinite storage, and then I get out a water bottle made of wood, and I pour water out of it magically, and I put a small fireball in it to create hot water.

"Your body will be cold, too. I'll have some hot water with me."

Amalia and Juliel are trying to open their eyes to my sequence of motions. And Amalia lowered her head silently and slowly when she received the water bottle from me in horror.

I ran Illimo off the scene.

"I'm tired. You're really tired, Illimo"

"I was really surprised. I didn't know you could say those words. It's been a long time since I've felt bad, either."

"Right. Let's go home and get some sleep."

Right, and Illimo spreads his wings and rises to the sky. Full of stars in the sky. The beauty soothed my heart, and I hurried home.
