Episode 10: Vengeance Skeleton * 5
"Hmm... what should I do?"
"I will consult with the Spirit," and after successfully smoking and breaking up with Princess Large, we will return to the forest and consult quickly.... I'm not lying. It's not a lie to be consulting with the Spirit of the Forest, because everyone else is consulting with me.
"I don't care what to do, well, for now, you can't just leave like this, Sayonara, right?
Yeah, that's not good.
... Laocles said earlier that if we want peace in the woods, we should kick them out, but I can't help but feel that it will lead to the dangers of the woods.
I don't know about heroes or demon kings, but if they let go, I think the world might be in danger, not in forests or towns or anything like that.
"Well... for now, I didn't think Princess Large was lying." Julia was a little uncomfortable, but apparently it was about hiding her identity. "
Ah, it seems that Claire somehow felt uncomfortable about Julia's identity. Real people are amazing with boulders.
"I don't think he's a bad person either. Yeah... as far as I'm concerned, I can't help it."
Yeah, well, uh, don't.
"It must have been hard for a royal man to get away with what the king wanted and hide his identity."
Fei exhaled a little while saying so.
"... I don't know who's on my side, so maybe I couldn't talk to anyone. There seems to be an enemy in the royal castle."
"And outside the castle, too.... as a result, I wonder if I have relied on the power of the Spirit."
Honestly, I think there's someone more reliable than me.... but after all, for people in this world, "Spirit" is really something that helps people with crises in this world. In fact, I'm just a person who paints and eats edamame beans and lives...
"If we are to protect Princess Large in this town, the defense needs to be stronger than ever. The opponent who screwed up once can't come with the same power next time. The next time you come, you'll have more power."
Laocles said that and exhaled a little.
"... based on that, I object. This time, the corn fell ill because of a hole in the boundary. Isn't that right?"
If they say so, I have to say yes. Especially since even though Laocles' voice is a little harsh, his expression is very worried about me.
And... it's true. It hurt when I was struck by the boundary, and it hurt when I was punctured.
But on the other hand, because there were boundaries, I suppose I was able to endure the monster attack this time. I wonder what it would have been like in another town. I think it may have been a little more difficult.
In that sense... I think it would be best if Princess Large stayed in this town.
"... hey. Are you expecting this, and turning me into a ghost?
I asked the giant gummies for a try. When this bird turned me into a Spirit, I thought I was saying that I should become a Spirit because it would damage me, Laocles, Fay... and the forest as a whole. Maybe that's what this is all about.
... that's what I asked you, but the birds just squeal and squeal. If I was in trouble, the bird would tilt its neck with a stupid face like, "What the hell is this?" This, this guy...
"Well... because of the boundaries, this town was almost safe, I'm sure..."
Faye, who was watching the bird as I did, said so, poking the bird a little bit. By the way, the little hand was only buried in the bird's feathers, no damage was done to the bird. This bird is so shark...
"I know why I shouldn't give that brave sword and stuff to the monster. Just don't give it to His Majesty the King, and listen more to the situation. By the way, I can't give it to the monster or the royal family... but this forest is definitely the only place I can store the substitute safely... even if I look around the world."
That's what Faye said, tightening her face. I'll follow suit and squeeze my expression.
"... you know, Ange, Princess, I want to give you a break."
So Ange said so gently and modestly. Modest but firm tone.
"If you're in trouble, you have to scratch it. So, I'll do my best to help you. The fairy will help you."
When Ange looked back, a lot of fairies came out of the shade of the tree and behind the leaves, nodding, "Yeah, yeah.... I feel like there are more fairies in this forest...
"Oh, I'll help you too. I don't know what I can do... but I'm still a kid, so there's not much I can do... ah, if I can just pull my corn ass!
Lian's hanging out, but don't do it! Don't hit me!
"You're nice, aren't you? Corn and Fei-sama. I'm in favor of Laocles... but even if I throw the princess out here, I might just get ahead of the problem."
Lila said that and sighed deeply.
... yeah. Somehow, you're older than me. Realistic. But I don't like the expression "grown-up" or "realistic" when I give up something. I am.
"So, your job has been decided, right? Boost the defenses of this forest! You have the power to draw, so you can draw walls and weapons, right? There are a lot of demon beasts and fairies, so I think you can help me strengthen the border."
That's why I love Lyla's opinion that there is a proper solution like this: 'Realistic' and 'grown up'.
"Hey, Corn! I think so....."
And Carnelia said, with a slightly excited face.
"I wonder if that monster will come again if the princess is here!
"Um... yeah. Maybe."
When I answered, Carnelia made her face shine.
"Wow...! Then I'll have my drawings now! Monsters are rare!
Speaking of which, I, too, wanted to draw. Here. Well, a living skeleton specimen...
... yeah.
"I really think I should help Princess Large. If that helps make the world peaceful, I'd love to.... I don't think so."
When I asked, Laocles sighed and said, "I can't help it." However, the expression seems somehow happy, so I think Laocles himself wanted this conclusion.
"So, I think Lyla will help me too....."
"Fine. I'll help you as much as you want."
I also got Lyla's approval. All right.
... everyone else is originally in favor. That's why they all nodded with a little laugh. I've been blessed with really good people. [M]
"Let's start by asking Princess Large for more information. Why should I protect the sword of the brave from the king?"
I see. Depending on the case, you'll turn the royal family into enemies... now, even more. "
Oh, I see. I didn't think about it. But... yeah. Whatever I say, I think it's time. [M] Really. Because Faye is kicking her engagement to the princess, and the royal man is a royal bully to the Red Gard... I don't think we can get along any better now.
"So, after hearing more about Princess Large's situation, I'll make a decision again... but I don't think there's any guarantee that this town will never be targeted again, as long as I've put her in town once. That's why we need to increase our combat power. Let's start by strengthening our borders."
When I make a little plan, I feel like I can see the future. There will be many other things I will have to enhance the equipment and reinforce the personnel, but... even if I do the equipment, I feel that the personnel will be left to Faye. Yes, thank you.
"So, you know, it's kind of a shame..."
And I'm going to tell everybody a little bit. The teacher said that if you want to make something happen, you should tell your surroundings. I like the soup! Don't say that, Togo. There's a huge chance you'll get a souvenir or something! I smiled in my hand at the box of soup.
... that's why I have to tell you. If there's anything you want to do, you should tell people.
"I want to paint monsters."
... so my opinion was accepted by everyone. Generally speaking, it's a policy to protect Princess Large. Let's start by asking her about the situation in detail. And I want to strengthen the borders and enhance other combat equipment... to paint monsters.
Um, the last guy was stunned, but they admitted it, including the last guy. Good job! Skeleton specimens! Skeleton specimens!
"Ah, did you talk to the Spirit Master?
And we came back in front of Princess Large. Princess Large is distracted and seemingly flustered, and her expression conveys a sense of tension.
"Uh, Princess Large."
"Yes, yes."
In front of her who was so nervous, I thought it would be strange for me to say it, but after discussing it with everyone, I decided to say it, so I said it.
"Your sword and the sword of the brave will protect you in this forest town and forest. However, please tell us more about your situation. And if we come into conflict with the royal family, you will do your best to minimize the disadvantages we suffer. That's the condition."
Princess Large said, "Thank you for that look, like when you found a bean light bulb in the dark." Then, please kneel before me and say hello.... wow, wow, wow, um, just lift your head up...
... when I was in trouble, Princess Large looked up at me and once again lowered her head deeply.
"Thank you very much for listening to these human words. Spirit. As far as offerings are concerned, I will dedicate all my life and soul to you. Please protect this country and this world....."
... um.
Uh, uh... well, this is...
"... ah, um..."
I decided to say that to Princess Large... thinking it would be a waste.
"Um, I'm not a spirit...?
... Princess Large was in a good mood. But I looked around a bit... like, "Oh, if that's the case," and he laughed, saying, "I'm so sorry."
Ahh... this is definitely what they think of me as a spirit!
"Now, let me talk to you. As long as it's a monster, why does the King want the sword of the brave?"
And then Princess Large starts talking. We kept an eye on it.
"... it started about two years ago. With the prophecy of the resurrection of the demon king, my father began to move. To keep the brave... from being born."
