Reincarnation of the Sword Master

28. Human forgetting (1)

An emergency meeting was held with the surviving superiors. The retainers and the lord Rebecca sit in the chair and groan.

Is it "Monster…"? I've read what they are, but I've never actually seen them.”

"You said green skin, short height and long ears like elves. Is that Goblin?"

"I'm afraid so. What kind of beings are there in the literature?"

"It is said that they attack humans, rob cargoes and make them their own, and eat slowly by applying poison to the armor….”

"…like a human being.”

Rebelock laughed at someone's words. Steal and poison things Isn't it the same as humans? He patted the table with his fingertips.

"So how do you respond?"

“…….”

The retainers became dumb with honey. Revereaux sighed.

Is this what Swordmaster said?’

Heiban told us not to slow down the management of the martial arts, but to develop enough force. I'm sure you expected this.

It would have been nice if you explained it a little more in detail. An unavoidable complaint was contained in my mind. A long white bearded god broke the silence and opened his mouth.

"Unfortunately, the characteristics are written in the literature, but there is no response. If you look it up, it's not at all, but it's in the capital."

"You've been through the time when monsters are still in the world. Don't you know that?"

"Well."

The old retainer smiled bitterly at Rebecca's words. He is over sixty. Monsters disappeared 50 years ago. Words alone are not wrong, but the reality was different.

"I was still a child at the time. The battle was for adults. And it's 50 years."

Time for the rivers to change and the mountains to collapse. It was time for the human generation to replace. No one remembered how to respond to those who disappeared 50 years ago.

"That's why there was no response."

When a watermelon is left in the literature, the records do not include whether the seeds of the watermelon can be eaten or the skin should not be eaten. It is nutrition and characteristics that are recorded. And things like growth.

At that time, monsters were just as natural as watermelons. They fought each other, coexisting with humans. The way to kill those things is common sense, so it is not written in most of the literature. Of course, there will be written literature, but at least not in this territory now.

The conclusion was that I didn't know. An uncomfortable silence came.

"…is it right to come this way?"

"Yes, I checked and it's coming in exactly the direction of our territory. At this rate, we can't avoid fighting."

"How the hell did you pop out? This is near the capital of the Empire.”

Someone kicked his tongue and said, The land of Irak was close to the center of the empire, so there was no external attack. But suddenly, a monster is coming here. Something was strange, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it. He was also busy organizing the reality that had come.

Rebecca closes her eyes. My head was dizzy and I was about to break. I wanted to sleep in my room, but I couldn't. He is the lord. If he keeps his mouth shut, the lord will be thrown into confusion.

"I sent someone to the capital. Has the answer come?"

"No, he's not back yet. Originally, I should have arrived by now....”

"You don't have the leeway....”

The land of Irak is near the capital. If it collapses, the threat is directly linked to the capital. Nevertheless, if the answer is so late, it was one of the two. Either you're thinking of abandoning the territory, or the empire itself is reeling. Both were depressing stories.

"Why the hell! They just popped out of nowhere! Things that have been gone for 50 years!"

The god, who looked like he was not even 30 years old, knocked down the table and shouted. There was an inexplicable fear in the eyes.

'Of course.'

Young people today have never experienced war. Swords were meant to be stylish and armor was cumbersome. Will such people be able to endure the fight against unidentified beings?

The state of the martial arts is fine, but the mind is a problem. Most of the people who knew the age of monsters were dead or old and could not use their energy. It's young people who don't know how to fight.

'First of all.'

The inhabitants and the inhabitants were worried about the monsters, but he knew. The fact that monsters appeared means other things also appeared.

It's dark. Rebelock is covering his face.

***

"It's noisy."

Laika muttered as she chewed the apple. Her expression wasn't very good either. a young but lord's daughter I knew the situation even though I didn't like it.

"Is it a sign of ruin.

"Well."

Asher replied swinging his sword. In the past, I would snort at Goblin, but not now. To them, Goblin was the scariest monster ever.

Anyone who tries to kill himself is scared of the existence of a type that he has never seen before. The whole village is in an unidentified state of terror. Maybe there are some families who want to run away at night, even though they don't know. I don't think anyone can beat me in this condition. Asher put the sword in and wiped the sweat.

"You think you can stop it?”

"Have you heard the number of opponents?”

"Um…about three hundred. That's about it, isn't it?

"Three hundred."

There are about two hundred combatants in this land. That's also the story of when it was all brought together. Well, I don't know if there's any chance.

'I can't let you do that.’

This is the place where he grew up after two lives. I don't want to let go of Goblin. There are people I care about.

"So that's it for today. Get some rest. Don't fall asleep for nothing."

"…okay."

She looked worried for a moment and answered. After Leica left, there was only one left in the training camp.

"Then let's go see it.”

Asher pinched the muscle.

***

Night fell. An unusual and unpleasant silence surrounded the village. It was time to sleep, but very few people were sleeping. Most will be unable to sleep because they are afraid of the future.

And Asher was passing through the deserted street. The guards were shaking and guarding the gate, but they lightly climbed the wall and went outside. Even with his current physical ability, he could easily overcome this wall.

"Then where is he?"

"Where are you going?"

At the voice heard in the forest, Asher took out the sword reflexively. The owner of the voice slowly appeared. Asher frowned.

"…Laika?"

"Where do you want to go at night?"

She chuckled and shook the sword. Clothes are leather armor that sticks tight to the body. He was clearly on a combat alert.

"Did you know?"

"That's him. There's no way you wouldn't know if you had such hideous eyes. You're going to see a monster called Goblin, right? Take me with you."

She spoke with determined eyes. Asher put her chin on her head for a moment, and soon nodded.

"Yes."

"…I'm more than I thought you'd allow. I was going to follow you if you didn't accept me.”

"I'm letting you do it because I don't think so. We can't waste time in places like this."

Leica is strong. It's your first time, but you won't lose to Goblin. Come to think of it, it's good. If the lord's daughter deals with Goblin herself, the fear of young people will be reduced to a certain degree.

"I don't know why you're following me... I'll tell you one thing. Take your own life."

Asher's voice was heavy. This is the real game. It's not a minor bruise as usual, but a life-threatening death.

Leica spoke in a lively tone, but with her eyes still sunken.

"Don't worry. I left a suicide note."

***

The Goblin are nearby.However, it was close to the point of the war. It was quite a long distance, given the usual distance. I ran for hours without a break because I had to speed up to arrive overnight.

"Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..”

As a result, she was exhausted before she even met Goblin. The whole body was covered in sweat and the leather robe was blotted out by the bushes. Asher threw a can at her.

"Drink water."

"Thank you…."

She snorted as she gulped down. Kelokgeori told her Asher clearing away the branches.

"You can't even accept water in that condition, so just keep your neck wet. Drink it like you're wetting your mouth.”

"Okay…."

As Asher said, I could pass it when I put enough water in my mouth. She clasped her trembling hand.

"I'm tired..."

"You followed me well. I have more stamina than I thought."

It was not a sprint, but it had to pass through a rough forest for hours. I was thinking of taking a break from time to time because I expected Reika's physical strength would not last, but she followed me well without complaining. He was more physically fit than any other soldier.

"I've been training steadily... And you're just fine."

"That's not a problem."

I only ran for a few hours. During the invasion of the Emperor, he had only run without sleeping for four days. I almost died then.

"We're almost there. Just a little more strength."

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…"

Leica raised her body while thinking of death. After another half hour's walk, Asher raised her hand. Leica drew her breath and stopped moving. In front of me, there were cries that were different from animals and humans.

Asher stuck himself to the tree and hid his presence. Leica leaned over. As the bushes cleared, a green monster appeared.

"LOL. LOL."

"Rolling."

They waded through the bushes with a cry. It looked like a scouting party. The number is two. Asher took out two daggers and held them in both hands.

They came slowly up to Asher, stirring up the bars. As soon as they touched the hidden tree through the window, Asher ran out.

"LOL!"

Goblin flung the bars in fright. Lean down and avoid, and place a dagger in one neck. Just like that, he pulls the spear that others wield, blocks his mouth, and puts it on the ground. You made it. It would have been annoying if you called your colleague by mistake. He tries to break his neck but stops.

"…Lica."

"Uh, yeah."

Leica, who was staring blankly at Goblin, replies with surprise. Asher fastens the goblin's body.

"You kill him."

"…what?"

Leica's eyes are perplexed. There was also an inexplicable fear in it. But Asher went on carelessly.

"You said you live as a prosecutor. Then there's always something to kill. You'd better get used to it in advance.”

"Laugh! Laugh!"

Goblin is struggling. Leica's body trembles at the frightened behavior. Kill a life. The act was greeted with chills. The resolution was complete, but I was scared when I was in front of my eyes. But she picked up the sword.

She slowly approached Goblin. Goblin twisted his body frantically after sensing death, but the bondage did not unravel. Leica's pupils shake, and soon her hands move. Goblin stops moving with a groaning moan.

“…….”

Leica pulled out a sword. The sword was stained with green blood. After reflecting on her senses for a moment, she wrapped her trembling body. Asher cleared Goblin's body.

"Don't forget that sense. It's a sense you'll have to feel for the rest of your life.”

There is no need for encouragement. The act of killing something is indelible by such shallow words. If you can't stand it, you'll be kicked out, and if you can, you'll become a prosecutor

But you still need time to sort your mind out. Asher shut up and removed the body.

***

After a while, Leica managed to calm down. Still, he recovered quite quickly. The long-lasting ones last a week.

That's a kind of talent. Asher advanced slowly thinking roughly. Leica followed suit.

I heard a loud noise from the front.

Asher leaned down, lowered his stride, and slowly plowed through the bushes. Green monsters were seen.

"Uh…."

Leica moaned quietly. We're here. Asher's eyes swept through the monsters.
