The Man Picked Up By the Gods (Reboot)

The news arrived the next morning.

Break?

“Yes, there have been arrests and enemy strongholds throughout the city, and there have been no new fires or raids since last night. At the moment, some residents are more in trouble than the enemy.”

"Oh, I've heard a little bit about that. They say it's getting rampant.”

Lillian, the maid who contacted us, tells us about the situation in the city.

“They claim to be a vigilante with weapons for the city and their families, but… what they're actually doing is just bagging the number and momentum of those they see as' enemies'. There appear to be fire thieves looting food and goods from shops and houses around the city.”

"There are more injuries related to that at the hospital." I was cooperating in evacuation and fire-fighting activities, but I suspected that it was an adventurer who was involved in the raid, so I was attacked by an adventurer... the possibility of an uprising is assumed, but what is the cause? "

“We haven't had a chance to interrogate the arrestee yet. However, it is highly probable that" allusion magic "was used against some of the arrestees, especially those who tried to take the initiative to fight. There is almost no doubt that some people have instigated mobs or provided supplies.”

"After all, it's artificial..."

Ryouma sighed with a tired face as she convinced herself.

You left a troublesome souvenir behind... I don't care if you think your enemies are almost destroyed?

"You may think so." Although it is likely that there are still some leftovers, we need to be vigilant. However, the upper management would like to ask Mr. Ryoma to cooperate with "post-processing" rather than dealing with the problems that are happening now. Removing burned-down homes and setting up makeshift housing for people in shelters.

To do that, please take a good break once in a while. ”

Leo is convinced that this is why he was summoned to an empty warehouse.

But Lillian probably thought it was reluctant. He turned to his firmly determined eyes and continued to speak.

"I wonder if you can rely too much on your personal power, but there are many places where you can help with the help of Master Ryoma and Slime. Rest now so that you can exert your full power when you need it.

Lieutenant Ryoma hasn't had much rest or sleep in the fire fighting activities and treatments since the night before yesterday, right? The same goes for the continuous use of Magic Restoration Pills. It is not good for the body just because there is no immediate problem. Whether fighting or healing, resting is the principle of a wizard. ”

“Okay, if that's the case, I'll take a break.”

Huh?

When Ryouma agreed to take a light break, she looked as if she had been struck by her shoulder.

"What's the matter? She looked surprised."

No, it was really surprising, I thought you'd be a little reluctant.

"How much work addiction am I among you...?"

It's not about Ryoma-sama's abilities and personality, but I was wondering if you weren't trustworthy in terms of taking a vacation.

“The post-processing is going to be long, and I'm going to rest properly when I can.”

Well, let's get this room ready before you change your mind.

"Oh, then I'll go home to the abandoned pit." At any rate, I can rest better at home, and I'm not using a room or manpower for myself. "

"It's for rest, so it's not in vain. Besides, there should still be the rest of us. There was a matter with Yudham-sama, and I know that Lyoma-sama is strong, but it's dangerous to be alone outside the city."

Ryouma smiled and persuaded Lillian, who was unacceptable.

“It's okay. There are strict traffic restrictions on getting in and out of the city, and you can fly directly to your home with space magic. Even if the remnants arrive, the pits are slimed and ready for defense, and they get caught in the surveillance net that was put in front of them. By the time they step into their homes, they'll be able to escape to the city with their spatial magic.”

"Indeed, it is difficult to capture the Space Wizard who decided to escape." I think the Slime's defenses and alert nets are reliable, but... ”

“Besides, there are many experimentally produced crops and medicinal herbs in the house, so I want to bring them with me. They say the city and alliances have reserves, but it's not going to hurt.”

"That's... right. I haven't had any particular problems yet, but I'm worried about future supplies. Damaged buildings include grocery stores and warehouses, and sourcing is not easy this time of year.”

"Incidentally, most of them are potatoes, and there are a few vegetables in the house." I... don't know because I haven't measured the amount, but I think one or two warehouses in the warehouse district could be filled. ”

Lillian was surprised to hear about the stockpile.

Is there that much?

"Combined with magic training and agricultural studies, I used to make a lot of things every day, such as goblins?" That you can now use it. Sometimes scavengers have evolved and become more efficient.

Otherwise, I'd like to tell you more about it... but for now, it's true that we have a lot of food, and we can increase production if conditions are in place. ”

"That would be helpful." But with that much, we might need manpower to transport them? ”

As for the manpower, there are slimes and goblins, so it's okay.

"... that's why I'm going to do some work where no one is watching."

"No, no, no, no, no!" I'll rest properly. I will sleep on the bed and tell the goblin to carry it all with a sense of sharing. It has recently increased to a total of 32 cats, so it will be over soon. "

"When I use sensory sharing, I feel like I'm exhausted on the contrary, but... I understand."

"I'm glad you understand." Tell Dr. Maflar what's going on and let him go if he has enough hands. ”

Although somewhat aggressive, Ryouma, who had persuaded Lillian to leave the warehouse, went to the infirmary where the mafras were.

"That's why..."

"Ok, we're gradually getting people with open hands. It's also important to protect and support those who have finished treatment, so I'll leave it to you to go where you need to go.”

“Thank you, and I apologize for the inconvenience.”

As a result, the rhubarb was removed from hospital treatment.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I will leave now because I have the permission of Dr. Maflar. Why don't we go back tomorrow morning, including the delivery of supplies to the Dimension Home? ”

“No problem. Please take a good rest. I'm worried that Lord Ryouma will fall, even if I'm sent by the Duke, and I'm worried personally."

"If you say that, I'm really sorry... I'll do my best."

It was just after I told Lillian that I was outside the clinic so she wouldn't get in the way of treatment.

"Whoa!?"

Please don't rash me!

Leo turns around as the back gets noisy. What he saw was a man carried on a stretcher.

The man has just finished treatment and has probably been taken out of one of the clinics. There are fewer places where bandages are not wrapped from head to toe. Mostly mummies.

Despite this state of affairs, the man is desperate to get off the stretcher and head out.

Ryouma tries to stop the man, but she can't allow him to do that.

[Sleep Mist]!

Ah...

Isabella's voice and poison attribute magic flew through the door of the open examination room.

The next moment, when the fog with the sleeping effect created by magic wrapped around his face, the man collapsed like a puppet with a broken thread...... As he was on the verge, Isabella, who had jumped out of the examination room, supported him and handed him over to the staff who was carrying him.

"Damn..."

Well done.

Oh, Ryoma-san, you're outside.

"Who was that?"

"It's like he was at the kidnapping scene."

Gently staring around, Isabella hides her voice and tells Leo and Lillian behind her.

Kidnapping?

It's not calm, is it?

As their gaze sharpened, Isabella didn't hide her frustration either.

"I don't know the details, but I've been calling my name by rumors during treatment, so I'd like to get to know you." It must still be hard to walk, but if you think you're a little unconscious because of recovery magic, you're right.

Now that you've contacted the Guard, they'll take care of you... but I want you to be safe. "

At the tip of the arrow, the next patient is transported.

Well then, I have a cure.

“I'm sorry to hold you back. Thank you.”

Here, Leo, who had seen Isabella off to the examination room, glanced at the man as he was transported.

Lillian didn't miss it.

Well, I'll be home soon, too.

Lady Ryoma, are you going to go looking for her?

For a moment, but surely, Ryoma's unnatural love laugh hardened.

"... why did you find out..."

"That's why I don't trust rest. Kidnapping is a serious matter, but the Guard will take care of it, and they won't find it in the dark clouds. Do you have any idea where the kidnappers are?"

Maybe that's it.

"... do you really have one? No, I didn't think you were lying to me like that."

"I was also collecting information about the city to become me, so there are a few places that are difficult to see and a little suspicious. It's just that it really bothers me, and I don't have a good reason to move the Guard.

That's why I just thought I'd take a little "stopover". If you check nothing, I'll go home with that leg. I know very well that criminal investigation is not my job. "

I'm sorry, but I don't think I can break Lyuma's bitter smile.

Lillian's face turned sinister and a few seconds of silence flowed.

And it came out for a deep breath.

"At the very least, please take more than one person to help you in battle." And it's not just the results, it's nothing more if you check your understanding. ”

Thank you very much.

“It's a virtue to be able to respond to problems immediately, and you can count on it if you have the ability to do so. I just hope you love yourself a little more.”

"I'm sorry over and over again... yes, once this matter is all settled, why don't we all go to a simple remuneration party?" by stretching the wings. "

Suddenly, Ryouma made such a suggestion, but suddenly she remembered.

"Ah, that would be a burden on the maids..."

"It will be New Year's in three days, and after some calm, it will be fine if it is light." Perhaps if you open your hand, Mr. Hughes or someone will come forward, and the guards will need you. ”

“Really? Well, I look forward to that time. Please tell everyone that we will see you tomorrow."

Very well, I look forward to your return.

Unlike the lovely laugh I just mentioned, Ryouma leaves very naturally, quietly, and then leaves quickly.

When Lillian saw her back off, she had to return to her duties.
