Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

When I returned to the carriage as if nothing had happened afterwards, I took Amu, who was still sleeping, to the carrier and left.

Going down the mountain path, a few moments.

Not long before the sun rose to the top, the walls of the city were seen in the direction of progress.

"... that one"

The free city of Lacana.

A city of adventurers, developed by the wealth brought about by the dungeons.

Although I've heard of cities like that, this is of course the first time I've actually visited them.

I whine what I think. [M]

"The walls are a lot higher."

Rodney, on the contrary, is higher than the Empire.

Besides, the castle gates, the upper passageways and even the walled towers that stand between them seem rather cautious against external threats.

It was strange.

This is not a strategically important city.

Although it is a rich land from which resources can be harvested, its source is a dungeon, so it was also not a place where we should take it like a mine or a port.

I don't even think we have to be so vigilant about the coming of demons and enemy forces...

"Probably ready for some stampede."

Amu, who was awake a while ago, answered in the back.

I just look back. [M]

"Stan...... what?

"Stampede, monster stampede. that monsters flock to attack villages and cities. Yeah, it's not a rare thing, but it's all about dungeons and woods around here, so just in case, right?

"Heh... is that what you have"

I've never heard of it before.

In the previous life, there were hundreds of nights when demons (yawns) flocked at three ugly times, but they did not attack the capital (Miyako) or villages. At best, the humans we come across are eaten.

It's similar as a phenomenon, but I guess the reality is something else.

"But there must have been another wall on the inside."

"Do you even envisage relinquishing the outer edges? A city of adventurers would have as much power. How does that stampede happen?

"Come on...... Sometimes it seems like one type of monster just happens to have a massive outbreak or has fled from other strong monsters... but more often than not you don't know why. For some reason, all kinds of monsters show up at once. With big dungeons and woods nearby, it seems like it can happen easily."

"... yeah"

All kinds of monsters at once, for some reason...

So far, I had an idea why. [M]

If the dungeon is going to produce monsters, it will even show up in large quantities if the conditions are in place.

The flow of power I feel from this land - the first time I've found this since I was reincarnated (...), I could also imagine the condition.

But you don't have to worry about it now.

While I'm thinking about that, the carriage goes on to Lacana.

****

It was the right city for clutter that swept through the walls and caught my eye.

The building is simple and not so high-rise. Compared to Rodney and Imperial Capital, I have the impression that it is not very sophisticated. But on the other hand, there are many people, and their appearance varies. There was also a subhuman appearance in a race with rare hair and skin colours.

And after all, many people are raising weapons.

That's like the city of adventurers.

Me and Amu, who entered Lacana, sold the carriage first.

I hesitated because it was originally prepared by Fiona, but I can't even afford to keep it.

I'll have to pay you back if you tell me to.

That's why I had a little room financially.

I go to a bustling city with Amu while I serve bags of gold coins.

"So, what do we do now? Seika."

Amu says on the side.

"I think we should find a place to stay for now."

"That's it... first, I'm going to meet the chief here"

"To the chief of Lacana? Why?"

"I thought I'd show you my face more than Fiona told you about us."

And - if you can, I want to make sure you're willing to.

Whether you can be our enemy or not.

Fiona said she was her own collaborator, but she's one person.

If you decide it's in your own interest, you may even sell us to the faction chasing the brave.

Before that, I still couldn't even weigh Fiona's will.

I don't expect to be able to spot a plot on the spot, but if I keep an eye on it with a ceremonial god, I will eventually run out.

Inform the brave man of his visit and see how he reacts.

We really need that to figure out if this is a safe place.

"... and the sheik would know it's a cheap and good place to stay."

"Oh, yeah. You should ask the people here anyway."

When I added that, Amu nodded lightly convinced.

****

The administrative department of Lacana is in the heart of the city.

I crept through another castle gate in the walls, and after a short walk, I saw its city hall facing a large square.

That's a fine building. It has more grand standing than the trade halls and cathedrals of the land.

Now, thinking about how to say it and get it worked up... etc., I realized that there was a small crowd in front of Fufu City Hall.

I can hear you talking to each other.

Apparently, it's rubbing.

"Is this a fight in a place like this? It's a noisy city."

"That's not true, adventurer."

Trying to pass by to avoid getting involved - a human flew out of the crowd.

"Wow."

I jump out in a hurry.

The man who fell from his back to the ground seemed to have completely stretched with it.

I hear voices from within the cracked hedge.

"Oh, boy! You fucked up!

"Then what. You want to get busted, too."

The voice sounded familiar as much as it wanted.

I often solidify, and then stop by and peek into the hedge.

There were three people there.

What distorts and spreads his face is an adventurous little man.

Relative to that is the little gray-haired girl with the battle axe on her back.

And what's grating behind it is a dull blonde, cat-haired girl.

Erm......

"Me...... Mabel? And Efa? What are you guys doing here?!?

Amu raised his surprise next door.

Two girls turn to us.

"Ah."

"Amu... Seika-kun..."

Two people round their eyes.

But... eventually, when Efa ran over to us, she hugged me.

"Hey."

"Yi, Efa? You......"

"... Huh, yeah"

Turn your arms around me and Amu's neck and sob.

We both accidentally shut up.

I'm stroking my hair behind it for now, and Mabel walks over.

"Amu, seika...... good. Find me."

"Mabel... why are you here?"

"I've been chasing you"

"Yeah, eh?

"Uh... how long have you been in Lacana?

"Since yesterday"

"Yesterday!? Why is it faster than us... No, I don't know"

In position, Rodney is closer to Lacana.

It didn't take ten minutes. If Fiona had flown a dove that morning, the two of them would have been able to find out what was going on within that day. I can prep a day from there and get ahead of us enough to leave.

But...,

"Why, that..."

"Ask?

I said like Mabel was just a little angry.

"Huh..."

"That's right..."

Efa releases her arm from us and says, rubbing her red eyes in a rub.

"Amu is taken and Seika-kun is gone... then I can't believe that's happening... I can't stay in school like that..."

"Uh... after all, did you hear the whole story? You know, about Imperial Castle..."

"Yeah... from the schoolmaster..."

Efa nods.

Yeah, well, that's right. I didn't think I could hide it through...

Now Amu turns his sorry face to Mabel.

"But... it's not about you guys. We can't go back to school. He asked me to come here..."

"Not involved...... I knew about Amu, from the beginning"

"What..."

"It is your fault that I was adopted by nobility and that I was to come to school. Same reason you got caught. So... I can't be irrelevant now."

……

"We'll hang out till the end. Okay?"

To Mabel, speaking upright, Amu clogged his words and nodded his face.

I tell the girls with half a grin.

"Bad. You're worried, both of you"

"Wait a minute. Ahhhh!!

Turning to his face, an earlier, slightly adventurous man looked at us with an angry look.

Oh, speaking of which, there was this guy.

"I don't care what's over! Hey kid! Heh heh, how are you going to end this!?

"... Mabel, what about this guy?

Mabel begins to explain to me pale as she gives a man a glimpse.

"When I tried to enter the city hall, the one there and the pair sleeping over there called me"

"That's the one you were throwing away. He called me. Why?

I thought Efa was a slave.

"What... uh, that sort of thing"

I had a guess.

These two were probably trying to catch a fugitive slave and make a dime.

Here in Lacana, by its very nature, humans gather from various lands.

Naturally not many of them were ex-slaves who fled from under their masters.

Some fugitive slaves are put on high bounty money and arrangements are turned around through chambers of commerce and adventurer guilds. It wasn't strange to have the one to look at it.

Because we're both women and children. To get to this city, it's certainly unnatural.

Whatever Mabel carries the battle axe and somewhat atmospheric, Efa doesn't even look like an adventurer. You look good, and you won't have to suspect me.

"So, what did you answer?

"Yes, it is," he said. Efa. "

"Yep... I don't know why I'm being honest"

"Ugh, sorry! With…"

"So?"

"Because I didn't ask you to explain that you weren't a fugitive slave and you almost forced me to take you"

Mabel points to the man who is stretching.

"I just busted one"

"... I see"

I understand the situation more or less.

"I'm sorry, Mabel."

"Nothing good. But Efa needs to make sure she can't lick more. I've been involved four times since I left Rodney."

"Ugh..."

Efa dropping her shoulders, but I don't know if I can do it either.

This girl, she's got a gap. I'm not weak.

Well, not now. I turn to the man of adventure. [M]

"I'm sorry, but I'm the master of this child. I was acting differently due to circumstances. I didn't plan on doing that, but as for this girl, she was going to meet me here. Sorry for the confusion."

"Huh? Oh, my God, are you noble?

The adventurer man yells suspiciously distorting his expression.

"Hey, do you have proof or not? Proof!

"Proof?"

"Whether it's in the form of a collar key or a baking mark, if it's not there, show me the deed. It's on!

I am in a hurry, making a look like I'm having trouble with unscrupulous demands.

Not good... Speaking of which, I left this kid's deed, in the dorm room...

Right, well, I'm sure the school director will keep it.

In the meantime, I usually return the truth.

"I wouldn't be carrying anything like that with me."

"Then you don't get the point that it's a monster. Do you want me to give him to you?"

"Why?"

"I'll make sure there's no one in the guild's arrangement. That makes sense, doesn't it? Of course, if you weren't here, I'd give you back what you said. Well most of all... I don't need to be sure today. I'll keep it overnight until tomorrow."

Efa, with a sticky gaze at the man, gets smaller as she realized she was scared.

"If that bothers you... you know what I mean? He said we were just doing something serious, and he's even out injured! What will you do with what he was supposed to make? Hey, nobleman."

……

I see, I have to go home for free. Quite the mean one.

I guess I haven't even raised a weapon, and they're licking me. I don't think I look like an adventurer myself.

I look around and think a little.

Then I hoisted up the edge of my mouth and said.

"No."

"What?"

"No, I said. I'm not paying you or anything, and I'm not going to do Efa. I don't have a reason to go along with you."

"Well, when it goes through... ugh"

"Well. If we don't go through, what do we do?

"Heh...!

"Hey, hey, Seika!

Amu pulls my arm in front of a man who's about to pull out his sword.

"Hmm?"

"What are you provoking!?

"Because it seemed like you were being licked. In a city like this, newcomers get one shot, right?

"Mm-hmm. I can tell you that, but your one shot..."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll add or subtract it"

A man watching our interactions smiles some spare time.

"Ha, don't take care of a woman's squire."

"This exchange is good already. Come on, Hyorogali."

"You shouldn't call me Hyorogali. Yeah!!

Suddenly he waves up his sword and the man of adventure looms.

I stamped him with my hand.

"Earth and Water Phase - The Art of the White Moon Tower"

"Wow!

Suddenly a thick pillar of plaster rose from the man's feet, lifting his body high and high.

"Hiyayaaaaaa!!

On the heavenly side of the pillar, a man storms with a scream.

However, the lower body is completely buried in the plaster, so of course nothing can be done.

Or don't get too violent. This is brittle, so it's gonna crumble and fall.

Say as Amu hastened.

"Hey, what the fuck, you flashy magic! Where did you talk about adding and subtracting?

"You did. It's intact."

"But you're stuck!

"That... really"

Looking up at the tip of the column stretched to about six lengths (* about eighteen meters), the man seemed to be losing his mind.

"... he was probably the one who was afraid of the high places. I was screaming earlier."

"Ha... I hope so, but you've stood out as much as you'd like"

I heard cheers from the crowd around me. Some are whistling.

It's like a spectacle.

No, I used flashy technique with that intent.

"Hey, did you forget that we ran away here?

"If you're too freaked out, you'll be followed. You should be grand to some extent. Besides."

I don't know how many times I've thrown up this dialogue.

"Things like this don't go in prominently. Don't you think?

"Hmmm...... Perhaps so. Compared to destroying Imperial Castle."

"You guys! What are you doing! Scatter, scatter!

At that time, several guards came running from the government building.

Are they guarding this place?

When the guard scattered the wild horse, he looked up at the plaster tower as if it had frightened, and then stuffed it against me.

"This is you?

"Yes."

"Ha... no private fights here. Naturally, I guess I knew that."

".................. eh"

Really?

I looked back in a hurry and shook my head to the left and right as Amu shuddered. Mabel and Efa look just like that too.

Not good......

I was never conscious in Rodney, but if you think about it, it's natural. If it's a formal duel, there's still no security or anything if I'd allowed a private fight all over the city.

I make excuses in a hurry.

"No, but the other one comes first..."

"Private fighting is forbidden. There are no exceptions. Are those women your people? Then everyone, let's get you to the jar. I don't think there's a single sentence."

"Wow, if you're going to demand a bribe, I have an idea..."

"No. A fine."

It sucks...... The fine is too painful here.

I was figuring out a way to escape somehow - then.

"Whoa, stop it, stop it!

A wild voice echoed across the square.

All of us, including the guards, turn to our voices.

A big man was walking out of the government building.

Boneless beard, shallow black skin. He only makes his fine shirt and jacket look sloppy and puts a cigar around his mouth.

The big man turns to the guards and says with a flickering wave.

"Don't let them get their hands on you. If they crush us here, we're enemies. - I'm a guest to the eagle. I'll deal with them over here. You guys take the guy stretching out there."

"Ha... ha!

When the guards quickly return their heels, Mabel carries the first man to throw them away.

The big man says, laughing more when he wonders if he stood in front of me.

"Whoa, kid. This one's on loan. You know that."

"... well, fine. About the fine, though."

"Hmm. Then I'll have it returned as soon as possible."

The big man looked up at the snug adventurer at the end of the plaster tower and said:

"Well sure, I didn't like the high places. Put him down early. - Seika Lamplog."
