Survival in Another World With My Master
Episode 021 ~ Of the four executives, the scariest is definitely him ~
"Are you going to build a wall this afternoon?"
"Ngu... yeah, I think we've gathered enough brick blocks. If it's not enough, we'll have to pick it up and make it again."
I swallowed what was in my mouth and then replied to Sylvie. Today's Sylvie and my lunch are on the same menu as the refugees. Today, I sandwiched some beast stuff with bread like a hamburger, sweet and spicy, together with several kinds of vegetables. It seems that Sylvie and the refugees were willing to hunt in the morning. I think it would be better to leave a little time after the meat is cooked, so I plan to eat it tonight or tomorrow.
Princess, I need to ask you something.
"Yeah? What?
Silfi leaned her neck at Isla's sudden offer. What happened suddenly when you were depressed and rodent? But you think so. I think so, too.
"I came up with a simple and clear way to prove to everyone that Koske is not a human being in this world."
"... huh?
Sylphie raised her eyebrows and had an interesting expression, but as for me, "??? and so on. Well, it will certainly take time for everyone to believe it, and if it can be proved simply and clearly, it won't go any further. If you can prove that you are not human in this world, your aversion to me will be relieved considerably.
"You can remove the slave collar with your own hands."
"That's...."
Sylvie is stunned. Danang and Merti look surprised, and Cubie... no, Cubie looks stunned, right? It's a little different from the other three.
"If you try to do that, your body will stop moving and your neck will be strangled to death, right?
"No problem. Koske has no magic. There is only a little, not at all. That's why the slave collar doesn't work at all."
"? What do you mean? Are you wearing a collar?
Cubi pointed at my neck. Sure, I have a collar around my neck. It's a rugged one made of leather and metal.
"It fits, but it shouldn't work. The slave collar sucks up the wearer's magic and creates a kind of magic circuit. When activated, the command from the head can no longer be transmitted to the body below the collar and cannot move. The magic I sucked up at the same time strangled my neck. But Koske doesn't have magic in the first place. From the time I wore it, the slave collar was nothing but a sturdy collar for Koske."
"... is that so? Koske"
No, I don't.
I don't even know if they say magic or magic circuits.
"The princess can give you an order."
"Hmm... then I'll give you Koske's orders. Take off your clothes. Everything."
"Why that choice!? No, if you really want to take it off, I'll take it off, but it's a little more peaceful!?
If I take it off here, not just the four executives, but the refugees will see me naked! I don't have an exposé!
"Here."
Wow, really?
"This is a surprise."
Ira looks at Doya, Cubie and Merty look surprised, and Danang and Silfi are stunned. What... is that so? Is it strange that my body stopped moving and my collar wasn't squeezed when I refused? I suppose you haven't done much of an "order" in a clear form like before, Sylvie. Even if I did, I don't remember rejecting it. That's why Sylvie didn't notice.
"I'm surprised. Koske, did it really not work?
I see. At least I never squeezed this collar on my own. "
I was honest with Sylvie because what she told me so far was not so unreasonable, and I don't remember being ordered to do it in the first place.
"Does that mean you can remove the collar yourself?
"Hmm? Well, I think I can take it off...."
I nodded my eyes to Silfi by answering Merty's question, so I try to play with the collar around my neck and take it off. I don't know the structure... oh, like this belt.
I had a little trouble removing the collar. Hmm, the neck that touches the air for a long time is a bit refreshing. I'm glad you weren't too uncomfortable wearing this collar. If I felt itchy, I would have noticed this at an earlier stage.
"Why didn't you do anything to Her Highness when the slave collar didn't work?
Unusual for Danang to talk to me. I don't care why. I did.
"Nothing means you're gonna hurt Sylvie, right? That's because there was no reason to do it. Sylvie saved my life. You're protecting me, but you can't avenge me. First of all, what am I gonna do if I scratch Sylvie's head?
If you think about killing your parents deliberately, there will be only a future that you will be stuck in, thinking in common sense. I mean, if you come so close to Silfi to scratch his head, he's going to twist his neck before he scratches it.
After hearing my reply, Danang kept quiet to think of something. I don't know, but he might have something to think about.
"If that's the case, I'm sure you'll be able to believe that Mr. Koske has nothing to do with the Holy King's Landing... when will the Wall be ready?
"Huh? I don't know if I have to try, but I think if we have enough brick blocks, it'll be over soon. Maybe two or three hours."
The procurement is over, so all we have to do is place the pom-poms and blocks. We'll have to build a wall over a fairly wide area, but that'll be all for now.
Really? In that time, let's make a big announcement that Mr. Koske is a rare person whose slave collar doesn't work. Once the walls are built, we can argue that Mr. Koske is using that power for us by his own will. "
"Hmm... that's right. Once we've finished the wall, we can all get together and give a speech."
"Yes, I thought that would be good. I'll get my hands on it."
Things sort of settle down with a thump. Well, you'll be able to keep yourself safe with me, so there's nothing to say. Please do it.
Well then. I'm done eating and I'll make a wall soon. Could you send me someone who can tell me what the scope is?
I'll go.
When he stood up and said so, Danang ran for office. I nodded when I looked at Silfi, so I also nodded.
"Well, then, Mr. Danang? Thank you very much."
"Da Nang is good. I'll call you Koske, too. Words are normal."
"... is that so? Then let me do it."
What do you think? Danang's attitude suddenly softened. Well, it's good for me. Danang seems to have the biggest say among the four executives, and much better than being ruthless.
I took Da Nang away and headed yesterday to where I installed the brick block.
"DeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadKhan, DeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadDeadKhan!
"What is this weird song?"
"Work BGM? Well, is it like style or beauty?
"I understand....."
Right, I understand. It is nothing more than a bizarre act if the story doesn't get through. That's sad, though. The work itself is going well because I was playing your theme in my head. Brain BGM is necessary for monotonous work.
Still, it's early.
"My abilities are good for this. I don't think it's a good idea to fight directly."
I don't know because I haven't actually had a proper fight. Combining command actions with my original movements can be quite tricky, so if I practice handling weapons, I might not be the first to miss it.
If you slide while launching an attack, it will be a more "stretched" attack than it looks, and if you slide without moving your feet, it will be difficult to grasp the time between attacks. Well, leave that alone.
"You're pretty good at it. The gate... is this it?"
Large metal reinforced doors - Material: wood × 40 mechanical parts × 6 iron ingots × 8
Some of the building materials that could be made at the blacksmith facility seemed good, so I made them crisp. Seems to be able to adjust the size to a certain extent when in installation mode. There is also a set of iron barrels and it is a super bargain.
"It's amazing. Perhaps you can build a fortress overnight?
"I think we can do this if we get enough materials in advance. It's not like we're producing anything from nothing, so there's a problem with replenishment."
"Still, I wonder if you can carry a lot of supplies?
Well... Tactically, strategically, I'm a very useful guy. That's why I want you to keep me warm. "
"Hmm... you're absolutely right."
Oh, Danang's in the delle phase? I don't know who gets the Mukimkimchi Macho Man's delle, but it's very important that someone who seems to be strong admits its usefulness. My chances of survival are going up.
After that, the construction of the walls continued, and the brick blocks surrounding the magical fields and refugee sections were finally completed. Even if it's finished, it's still (tentatively) working. Now it's just a wall of height, thickness, and two meters. We must now build defenses on the wall.
"That's why I want your opinion."
Opinion. Even if you say so, I don't know what you can do. "
"Ah, that's right. In the meantime, it's my image, and there's this image on the wall."
That said, I will simply write an image of the walls on the ground with a wooden stick. Come on, you're getting bumpy up the walls, hiding there and shooting arrows. Write that in the picture and explain.
I see, the narrow chest wall. Sure, if you're going to attack with a bow or something, you need a chest wall to hide. "
"It's called the narrow chest wall."
"A tall wall is called the chest wall, which is installed on the wall and protects the soldiers who defend it. The part where you can shoot arrows and so on is called the narrow space, and the chest wall where the narrow space is provided is called the narrow space."
Wow, is that so?
It is a very straightforward explanation. Danang is a muscular mollimachoman, but he seems to be educated. Didn't you say the Guards? If the guards who serve the royal family are educated, perhaps it is only natural.
So, is this how it works?
I see. If you want to make it, just the outside. If we build it inside, it could be used if they take over the walls. "
"Yes. We'll need stairs to get up to the wall."
Build a staircase and bang the narrow chest wall. Even so, if it were occupied... I don't think Gizma would have occupied it, but I'm sure they were thinking about when the Holy King's kingdoms came to this village.
After that, we will continue to finish the barrier with Danang's advice. Da Nang's advice led me to the gate. After all, the gates were structurally the most fragile, so we built defensive towers or columns on either side of the gates so we could defend them. We are able to deploy more personnel in this cage than the barrier, so that we can launch a heavy attack against the enemies attacking the gate.
When the bulkhead is generally formed like this, refugees and elves who have been out for hunting or something since noon come back and look at the bulkhead and say nothing.
I made this in about two hours. It's easy to load without thinking about anything. Soon, there will be a lot of people watching the refugees, and the little ones will follow me and Danang. I'm sure it's a good waste of time.
"I got it!
"Well... I think we need to inspect the parts, but we're pretty good at it."
A barrier is meaningless if there is a hole in it. I don't think there is a problem with the part I made, but I don't know what part I already made. Worst case scenario, I might need to replace it with my brick block.
Da Nang gives instructions to his subordinates and orders them to inspect each part. Yeah, this kind of work is best done with man-sea tactics. You won't be going around with me and Danang. If you have a report, you can go there.
When I was waiting for the inspection report, Silfi appeared with Merti. Isla's not here. After lunch, you haven't stuck to me and made irrational calls... are you tired of it? I feel kind of lonely.
"You did it, didn't you?
Oh, I think it's pretty good.
The walls are thick, and even a gizma attack should be able to withstand without any problems.
Well, shall we begin the speech?
Sylphie laughs. Yeah, that smiley smile looks like Sylphie after all.
The refugees were gathering. I can also see the elf in the village. Regardless of the refugees, the elves are perfectly wild. Well, that's fine.
Silfi stood on a loose fence and looked around at the refugees. I mean, I'm holding it diagonally behind. I said it might not be good to stand in a place that overlooks the refugees, but I was told to stand here because it's good. I wonder if it's okay.
While he was worried, it seemed that the refugees had roughly gathered. Merty signals behind the refugees. After seeing it, Sylvie muttered something and began to shake the arm of the person wearing the bracelet with the Spirit Stone.
"With your help, the barrier is complete. The resulting wall is thick and strong. You won't have to worry if the gizma comes near you. I'm sure of it."
Silfi's voice, which is supposed to be normal, sounds strangely clear. Looks like he did something with Spirit Magic. Is it magic to make your voice clear as far as you can hear?
"Many of you may have seen it with your own eyes, but it was this man, Koske, who created this many barriers in this short time. I'm sure you're wondering who this man is."
The refugees' eyes are gathering. Hmm, it's not much because there's a difference in height, but I almost remembered when my gaze gathered so much at the same height and I ran around surrounded. That was scary.
"This man is not human in this world. Does anyone know the word" rare "? He is a strange inhabitant who rarely gets lost from a world different from this lease due to the guidance of God, spirits, etc. This man, Koske, is a rare man. They look like humans in this world, but they have nothing to do with them."
The refugees stopped at Sylvie's declaration. It would be troublesome if they suddenly said such a thing. Does it happen to people who know about the existence of rare people? You might think so, but for someone who doesn't, it sounds like nothing but bullshit.
"I can't believe it. Koske is human no matter what he looks at. But Koske, an alien, does not possess magic. Absolutely zero. You all know that every creature in this world possesses magic. The tribes, including our subhumans, of course have magic, animals, monsters, plants, even a tiny insect. However, Koske, a rare person, doesn't even have the magic of a shard. This is also confirmed by the magic eye of the court sorcerer, Isla."
Aila nodded loudly as if she was looking at the refugees.
"But words alone are hard to believe. So I want you to pay attention to Koske's neck. Yes, this neck is a slave collar. This collar is the last one to be fitted. You all know it's a substitute that you can't take off except your husband."
Silfi's eyes prompted me to nod and take off the slave collar with my own hands. The scene brought back the refugees.
"As you can see. Koske doesn't have magic, so the slave collar doesn't work. In other words, it proves that you are not a human being in this world. It is also said that rare people have special powers. You don't need to explain the special power of Koske now, do you?
Many of the refugees nodded. In fact, there's a wall I built right in front of you, so you'll have to admit it.
"Is there anything you want to try to see if this collar is authentic? I will not punish you for doubting my words. Nina, I want you to be suspicious in order to convince everyone. Is there anything about me?
Several people came forward in Sylvie's words. They are three: a lizard walking on two feet, a serpent woman on the lower body, and a large woman with cat-like ears and tails.
Um, let's try three of them.
Sylvie takes the collar I took off and proves it one by one. The collar still looks authentic, and the three people wearing it can't resist Sylphie, and if they try to remove the collar themselves, their body becomes immobile and their neck is strangled.
"Well, let's see if you can put a collar on the koske."
"Is that okay?
"I don't mind. It won't work."
Last time I tried a slave collar, a big cat woman put a collar directly on my neck. Hmm, compared to Sylphie, her chest is modest and smells wild. Does it smell like spices?
Give me an order.
"Yes, then... Lord, kneel down."
"No."
I shook my neck with my arms around me and refused the order. Then he took off his collar and handed it to Silfi.
"My lord is a lifesaver, Sylvie."
"Fufu, it's a special winner. I'll put the collar on."
Sylvie smiles, hugs me, and attaches a slave collar to me. Hmm, Sylvie's tits are the best. It smells good.
"As you can see, the collar is real. I think you'll believe me now. Koske is a guest from another world who has nothing to do with the people of the Holy King we hate. Ning, you're helping us with that power. I want everyone to treat Koske that way from now on."
The refugees stopped to be confused, but applause began to clap everywhere. Merty applauds with a strangely good smile. In that case, I think it was Merti's hand that started clapping first. Motivation! I'm scared. Hey!
"I'm glad everyone admits it. Tomorrow we'll be doing some gizma defense training. I want those who have extra power to participate actively. That's it!"
The applause grows even louder and the cheer rises. In the meantime, I think it's pretty unlikely that the refugees will attack me now. I'll see how the elves deal with it later, and I'll take care of the gizzards.
