Competition with someone as a competitor leads to self-improvement, and there are many good things.It doesn't matter who he is… but Nil is the only one who can do that.

Nil instinctively imprinted his position as a slave, and there was always a habit of looking down at himself more than others.However, the competitor's mind is only held by someone who seems to be equal to himself, and Nil's feeling of it is evidence that Nil's mind is changing little by little.

Not bad... no, it's a pretty good sign.

"The feeling that you don't want to lose is important.It is a food for growth. You should take care of that feeling. "

"Is that so...?It makes me feel nasty, and I think I'm a bad person. "

"I don't know how you feel, but I think that's what people are like."

"... okay, but if you do, you'll never lose!"

"Ha, ha. Right. That's the spirit."

After hearing Nil's intentions, Nil and I will think about a non-lethal trap.

"If you just disable it, you won't be able to use Senna's Iron Ball Bolus..."

"It was made for monsters.Basically, if you use it on people, you won't get seriously injured.In the first place, Bola is a temporary behavior inhibitor during combat, so it's hard to use as a trap. "

"Even if you get caught in a trap, you can easily escape if you only have time.If that happens, you'll need a trap that you can't escape on your own… what do you use? "

"That's right...."

Looking at the materials from the workshop, I thought with my arms together.

"Speaking of which... apart from this, you got an interesting mushroom from a small family."

Among the mushrooms and mold balls sent by the dwarfs the other day, there must have been something just right in the trap to disable.

"Er... that's not it... that's not it... that's it."

I took it out of my inventory...

[Nenchaku mushrooms... spores have strong adhesion, and when ruptured by impact, they scatter around.]

"Mushrooms...?"

"Oh, I checked a little, but the spores in the mushroom umbrella look like sticky spores.Stickiness and strength are much higher than trimothy.In other words, it is very difficult to tear or slash it once it is stuck.It's not impossible, but if you move in a hurry, the more entangled it is, the harder it will be to get out. "

"Does that sound like the best thing to do to get you alive?"

"Actually, I think it's an excellent trap for a living catch.However, the characteristic of bursting by impact does not change, nor does it change that spores fly in all directions.You'll need to take out only the spores and drop them as a trap. "

"How about spraying spores instead of stone spears in the same way as the traps you made to kill them?"

"Hmm...."

Imagine… the word "fly stick" comes to mind.

"No, even if the spores stick together, it's just on one side and it's easy to get out.I wish we were nearby, but we can't keep watching.It would be better to have a structure that doesn't get out as far as possible. "

"That's true... if I do, I'll make a completely different trap..."

"What kind of trap is the problem..."

"Let's make some things and think about it.When I actually made it, I realized that it would feel different than I had imagined. "

"That's right. Okay. Would you like to move your hands from your mouth?"

So Nil and I make things that are likely to plunge mushrooms into traps well, and we make things over and over again, and it will be noon in no time.

"You've made a lot..."

"I've made a lot of them, but I think I can actually use one or two of them... much harder than I thought."

"That's right..."

Nil was breathing because she couldn't beat Pilte, but she looked a little dark as if it wasn't a result that she could convince herself.

"I'm trying to do something outside my specialty, so I can't help it.Now that my thoughts have boiled down, let's try again between lunches. "

"Ha, yes!"

When I stroke Nil's head, he replies with a smile.

Pilte and Heine were sitting in chairs when they left the workshop.Apparently they are asleep and their hair is a little disturbed.

"Ah, good morning... good morning?"

Pilte falls asleep or leans her neck to her words.

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Yes! Thank you for bringing us back to life!"

"That's good. I'll get lunch ready right away, so just wait a minute."

"Sinya makes lunch?"

"Yes, but... is that weird?"

"No, that's not true..."

It's impossible for a man with a female slave to cook by himself.Heine and the others have been out of the magic world for ten years.They seem to know quite a bit about common sense around here.

"I don't think Nil is a slave.

Sometimes I treat people as slaves so they don't stand out in the city, but I don't want to do anything else. "

Really?

"Yes, Master, I will never hate you, and I am so sorry for your loss.Being treated as a slave in the city is really a mess, and I don't like it when it bothers your husband. "

"I've been thinking since we first met, the relationship between you two is really unusual."

"With a master like this, it would be easier for the world's slaves to live a little more."

"I am truly blessed."

"Nevertheless, not all slaves can be saved by me, and I won't lose that kind of problem..."

"If there was one of them, could the children of slaves have hope?No, maybe it's just despair for them... "

"It's a tough problem. Identity problems can't be easily removed.

I don't think it's impossible, but it will take years and fundamental consciousness reform. "

In the case of Ouka, I saw a moment when identity problems changed dramatically, but from a continental perspective, it was only necessary to change the consciousness of a really small island.

Even in the world where I was originally, there were constant problems with identity and race.One or two of them raised the problem, and it could be water on a burnt stone.

"Well, even if we talk about it, we won't even see the solution.Besides, it's lunch. "

"I'll help you too!"

Nil will come to me at once.

"Am I OK?!"

Pilte is also coming.

As for Pilte, he simply wanted to help him do what he could... but I can see Nil's fighting heart is on fire.

"Oh, I think we should both help."

Yes!

"Thank you!"

"I can't stand waiting..."

"If you gather so many people, it will be hard to move, so Heinet needs to wait."

"Really? Then I'll let you sweeten your words."

"From what?!"

"Don't be impatient."

Nil gets irritated quickly.I wonder if this is how a parent feels about feeding chicks...

We cook lunch with Nil, who was set on fire by the fighting spirit, and Pilte, who will honestly work hard.Even so, I can't make anything elaborate, and it's not a big deal...

Naturally, there was no superiority or disadvantage in such a place, and Nil had an imperfect burning feeling, but lunch itself was delicious, and after eating thoroughly, I went back to making traps.

"Ah... a pretty solid workshop, huh?"

This time, Heine and Pilte also make traps, so they enter the workshop.

"Nil also helped me.It's a good workshop, right? "

"Yeah, it's really amazing. Niru is the boulder."

"Ha, yes! Thank you!"

"So... is this the trap you made?"

"Oh, it's amateur stuff, so don't expect too much."

I'll show you the trap I made while telling you what it was made for.

"The first pendulum trap I made is simple, but I can expect the most from it.This will catch some of them.

But none of the other traps are practical.That's right... that's as good as this... for immediate use. "

I'll show you two things I said I could use earlier, Heine.

"Oh, Mother... that's how you say it..."

"I can see you did your best and twisted your head.I do think it's a big deal, and I think it's amazing how many have taken shape in this short time, but neither Sinya nor Nil want you to praise their efforts.If we don't say it clearly, we're the ones who get hurt. "

"Heine is right. Pilte is happy with his care, but now he is more comfortable with his opinion.If Pilte has noticed anything, just say it. "

"Well... to tell you the truth... these traps seem to be made for the purpose of capture alive, but aren't you thinking of capturing them without scratching them at all?"

"Well, he's still alive. Besides, I thought you were going to be patrolling the trap, so if you get hurt, you could bleed to death..."

"Sure, you're right, but simply catching them may not work."

"Ah... yeah, sure."

Well, what do you mean?

I know I'm trying to say something, but where's Nil?Mark is on his head.

"These highly destructive traps are targeted at those entering and exiting the main gate, right?"

"Yes."

"Those who come and go through the main gate are not that high in Noble.So I think that many people come alone when they go to their home country.I don't have the authority to accompany you. "

"Ah! That's what I'm talking about!

Those who act alone will not be aware of the death of one, but those who enter from the north will be Noble executives.With an escort, you've just caught one, and the escort will help you! "

"Yes, so I think we need a trap that would prevent us from moving, even if we were to capture him alive, from a different angle, including a guard."

"That's right... why didn't you notice... hmm!I'm sorry! "

Nil said it was unusual and regrettable.Normally, I'd just shut up and put it in my stomach, but it seemed like I regretted it a lot.

"Um..."

Pilte is confused when he sees such a disturbed Nil.

"Ha-ha. I'm sorry."

I put my hand on Nil's head and apologize to Pilte while calming down.

"Looks like Nil has a rival heart for Pilte."

"Master?!"

Didn't you expect me to say Nil turned bright red.

However, if you do not say this, you may think that Pilte does not hate you…, which leads to unnecessary misunderstandings.In that case, it would be better to tell each other without distracting each other.

"D, did Nil-san...?"

"Looks like it."

"Oh no... are you scared... are you honored..."

If you think about Pilte, the opponent who overwhelmingly wins with combat power sees himself as a rival.

"Well, um..."

Nil looked alternately at Pilte's face and floor and was stuck in words.

"I'm really glad Nil is looking at me like that.I am much weaker than Nil.However, if Nil thinks that I am a rival, I will do everything I can to match my rivals.That's your rival... right? "

"Eh...."

In contrast to Nil, Pilte is said to be clear.I didn't say I couldn't lose, but I bet you didn't even want to lose.

Nil told me that he was a rival, but with a proper attitude, he confronted the match fairly and decisively.You want to say that's courtesy.

"Me too... I'll do my best! I can't lose!"

Nil's stomach was also settled when she was told to be majestic from the front.

"It's nice to be young."

"Heineken is young, isn't he?"

"Even if you're only physically young, you can't keep up with the spiritual part."

As a woman who has lived longer than Grandma Arten, it is unlikely to burn up any more now.

"But I think it's a pretty good stimulus for Pilte.It's the first time I've had a peer relationship with Isas and Susana since they lost their friends.

If you just watch it not to overdo it, you'll grow up with each other.After meeting Sinya and the others, the last ten years will be like a lie. "

I saw Pilte and Nil scattering bees and sparks with my warm eyes.

"Well, it wasn't when it was relaxed.Heine and Pilte give me a lot of advice.I'm actually going to make things with Nil. "

"Okay, let's get started..."

So, over the next few days, I made various traps and put them in the position Heine and Pilte checked for me.

"Is it going to work...?"

"I don't know… it's just beyond the nose and eyes from Noble's home base, and I'm sure they know better about the woods around here.There's a good chance they'll find out about the trap. "

"After all, I used vampire magic to disrupt the trap visually, but someone with a good instinct seems to notice..."

"That's the time.They won't realize it was us right away, so think about it again. "

That's true. The question is, can we catch the guy with the information... "

Naturally, there are no traps in places where people often pass.Because if someone else finds out about you right away, it's going to be noisy.

Since it is installed in a slightly irregular location, it will take a long time for the bandits to trap it.With some kind of applause, you go down a path you shouldn't normally go on, and you get trapped.We have to wait until that happens.

First of all, although some tricks are used to make it easy for people to fall into such a situation, it is a trick that people who do not notice, and there is a lack of certainty, so patience is required.

Since then, twice a day.I decided to break up with Nil, Heine and Pilte and patrol the trap.It's always better to stick with the trap, but there are signs.You must stay as close as possible until you are fed.

After installing and patrolling the trap, the trap was activated several times, but it was all operated by monsters.

To a certain extent, I have devised ways to prevent monsters from becoming interested, but there were also monsters that were still interested and monsters that happened to pass by.

In the end, it was only after a week that results were achieved for the first time.

I was patrolling the trap that day, as usual, and...

"Master."

"Oh, finally."

I can see a man hooked to a killer trap and pierced with a stone spear, holding his breath as he builds blood on the ground.

It took you a while.

"Finally."

When Heine and Pilte talked about it, they said that it might not be fruitful for about a month or two, so it can be relieved a little.

"Still, when you look at it like this, it's a really powerful trap..."

The tip of the shaft, the stone spear, pierces the back of the man to the root and penetrates into the chest.

The protruding tip is damaged as expected, but after being wet with blood once, it is dry or red and black membrane is stretched.

"Let's check the body.You might know something. "

"Yes."

After all, the body is a man, and I'll do a physical examination of him.

"What you have is not particularly informative."

"If you're not a director, you're not going to get the information you need."

"I see... Wait a minute... is this a tattoo?"

When I roll up a man's sleeve, I see a tattoo in the shape of Σ on his upper arm, or tattoo.

"Is this man's hobby?"

"No... I don't know."

In this world, the tattoo culture is not very rooted, and many people have tattoos in their bodies.It's not that I'm not here, but I don't often have any money to spend there.The perception of luxurious play.

The man who is dying in front of his eyes is beautiful, but he doesn't look rich.

"Does it make sense?"

"I can't say anything yet... maybe it means something.Let's remember. "

"Got it."

Nil and I will turn the trap into something new, erase the trail, transport the body, turn it into ash in an invisible place from the castle, and then return to our stronghold.

"We're still in trouble today."

"I was alone."

"Eh?! Really?!"

"You did it much sooner than I thought."

"I'm sure the trap was in a good position."
