Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"It's okay, calm down, slow down."

That said, Piltee wrapped his hands around her arm several times.

karan karan karan karan karan.....

A bloody Dagger finally falls to the ground.

"I...."

I killed people.

I didn't say it until the end, but I understood what I meant to say.

"That's right. Suratan helped Sinya and Nil-chan."

Heine definitely understood what Slater was trying to say.But Heine dares to emphasize that she helped.

"Did I... help you...?"

"Yes. Neither I nor Pilte was in time.If Slatan hadn't moved, he would have been hurt... dead. "

Let me be clear. Heine's words are lies.

At that time, Heine kept it within reach without me having to deal with it.

When the injured man raised his weapon, he saw a black shadow moving behind him.Had Slattan not popped out, Heineken would have taken care of it.

But when I saw Slattan move, I should have left it to him.

And Heineken insists that Slattan saved me and Nil.

"If Slantan hadn't killed him, someone might have died instead.

I wonder if it was the swordsmanship... The sword that Slatan decided to protect someone.I think that's exactly the kind of sword that Suratan wielded this time. ”

"A sword to protect someone...."

Slatan sees his trembling hands.

Heine's words are lies, but they are not wrong.This time, Slattan jumped out and whipped me and Nil into my nervous body, saying that I had to move.There's a reason to protect us before the consequences of killing them.And as long as the reason exists, even if it is the same murder, it will draw a line with bandits and pleasure killers.

That is the will of the sword and the unwavering readiness.

Whether the other person is injured or seriously ill, if they need something to protect themselves, they will be slaughtered.Without it, I cannot be accompanied on my journey.

When something you're trying to protect gets hurt, it's not kindness that says you can't move, it's cowardice.

If it is a non-combatant, it can be said to be philanthropic, but beyond participating as a combatant, the priority of things to be protected becomes very important.

What do you protect?Understand it and don't allow anything to hurt it.Whether or not you can think that way… this is very important.

And you can do it with a slap.Heine probably knew from the beginning.Because that was the fury that Slattan's grandfather showed.

I didn't want to raise her, but I gave birth to her.Medicated body. Even so, my grandmother, who is my life companion, gave birth to a lovely daughter with a pain in her stomach.

My grandfather undoubtedly loved Surakutan's mother.Still, when my grandson, Slattan, was hurt, he told me to kill her.And my grandmother didn't say anything about it.Heine knew how much that word weighed, and she couldn't bear to have a child.

Priorities to be followed. For my grandfather, my grandson, Slatan, was the best proof.And in order to do that, I was prepared to kill my own daughter.

There's no way you can't do that with a slug raised by a grandparent with a core through it.I suppose that's what you believed.

Surakutan's grandfather might have been ashamed of himself for not being ready for Surakutan before he was wounded.Still, Slatan, who grew up looking at his back, firmly inherited his will.

Heineken's predictions... no, expectations are proof that they weren't wrong.

"Just as Grandpa protected Suratan, Suratan protected us."There is no other reason for this battle of Suratan. ”

………………

I'm not upset, but Slatter looks pretty bad.

"... the same thing happened when I first put someone in my hand."

Pilte quietly starts talking, holding the pale blue slaton's hand.

"These kinds of problems are not heartbreaking.

Even after the same experience, some people think nothing of it, others digest it by themselves, and on the contrary, others are as depressed as I am. "

I'm glad to hear what Pilate has to say.

"But when I imagined my mother getting hurt... or dying because of my hesitation, my body moved on its own."

"Same as me...?"

"Yes, that's right."

"How did Pilte get through this... bad feeling...?"

In the words of Slatan, Pilte meditated, and waved his neck to the side.

"I didn't get over it."

"Eh...?"

"Until now, I have held hands on people several times.But I still feel terrible. "

"Oh no...."

Slatter looks painful before he solves the problem.

"But my mother told me it was fine."



"Killing people makes me feel uncomfortable is a sign that I am normal.

Kill enemies to protect them.This is absolutely necessary in combat.But killing people is no different.Sometimes we can only protect ourselves by killing.

But in contrast, whether you feel disgust or guilt, pleasure or nothing... is another story.

I don't want to kill anybody if I can.If it can be solved without killing, I want to.It can't be a bad thing to think that way.Nina, that's what makes us different from bandits and the Holy Knights. "

………………

"I'm disgusted with the act of killing people, and I'll do it as calmly as I can.We don't want to kill, we just want to protect, and that's what we need to think. ”

I don't feel guilty about killing people, but I don't want to kill people.If it is done peacefully, it is overwhelmingly better, and if it is solved, I will not dare to take the option of killing.

"The worst thing that Slatan feels right now is that he's a normal person.So don't let it go. "

"Take this...."

"I know it's painful. Because I did too.

But Nil also said that.I don't want you to forget the life you were able to protect, not the life you killed. "

That's what Pilte looks at me and Nil.

"Lord Slantan, thank you. Thank you very much."

Nil lowered his head immediately.

"Thanks for saving me, too."

Of course, I thank you too.

"Shinya-kun... Niru-san..."

Slatan, who has calmed down somewhat, will understand that we were never killed in the situation we were in.Still, the fact that Slattan moved me doesn't change the fact that I was able to kill my enemies more safely and reliably.

And you know we're not thanking you for trying to trick you.

"I really want to throw up... but there are times when I have to protect myself like this... yeah, from here on out, there will be more scenes like this.

Mr. Pilte, Mr. Haine. Thank you. I feel terrible... but I think I can accept that I feel terrible. "

Pilte let go of the slaughtered hand he was holding.

Surakitan's tremors stopped.

"Please tell me whenever you feel sick in the future."

Pilte smiles gently at Surakitan.

"Uh-huh... we'll all be counting on you then."

Yes!

This may not be all right! But we could have built a sladder drop.

You'll probably be fine from now on.Some mental care may be necessary, but Pilte and Heinet would be better off with it.

If there's anything I can do, I certainly wouldn't spare any help... but I don't think Slater and I can offer very good advice or help because the spiritual part is too different.

"Master."

"... Nil?"

Nil, who has read my emotional movements, is calling.

"I will always be there for you, master."

Nil's words I've heard many times.

Sura, I'm really different. No, of course not.Because he's a different person.

But it's wrong to be disappointed.I am me. And Nil says he'll come to me like that.There's no need to be discouraged.

"I'm worried about you again... thank you. It's okay now."

Yes!

When Nil strokes his head with a smile, he smiles with a smile.

"Well... where should I take these guys..."

Once you're done talking, look down at the two unconscious bandits.

I tied my whole body with a rope so that I couldn't move.

"If you leave it in the outer layer, it will definitely become nutritious."

"Rather than a day, it won't last an hour."

Now, the monsters don't stop by thanks to the slimes behind them, but this rich forest is originally the nest of botanical monsters.Bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, bait, band soon the two of them tied up will be taken in by the forest.

"The crack in the rock where we found the quartz slime.If we keep the lid there, we won't be able to get the slime in, and maybe we can handle it. "

"Yes... Pilte and I will keep an eye out for herbs."

"Slattan... stay away from me.The stimulus will be too strong. "

"Uh-huh... okay."

Even though I was able to organize my mind to some extent, I still feel different pain when it comes to torture.I don't want to see Pirte and Heine torturing the tied-up men with a gentle smile.

We haven't revealed that they're vampires, and we can't be seen sucking blood.

Even if you can imagine what you're going to do, if you don't actually see it, it's unthinkable.In that case, Heineken and Slater won't have to be hurt in vain hearts.

We take the two men we caught back to the inner layer.

The sky has turned bright red, and the sky, the opposite of the sun, has turned purple.

Head for the crack in the rock, secure the crack from the slime, and bring both of you inside.Afterwards, if you keep the lid enchanted with earth magic, you'll be relieved.

If the slime is a gap through which the nucleus passes, it is a creature like a slug that passes almost anywhere. Therefore, air holes and other cracks must be thoroughly checked, and it took longer than expected.

By the time I finished everything and returned to Slattan's house, the surroundings were already dark.

"Those five are the investigation team, right?"If you don't come back, will you send another team? "

After dinner, Slatan regains his calm and starts talking about the bandits.

"Well, they'll send it."

The monsters in the forest will take care of the corpses, so there will be no evidence left, but we can figure out that the survey team will not return, and then the people who will come to the survey team will appear.

Are you okay?

"If you look into the rich forest, you'll think the monsters killed you, and I think you'll be fine.Even if I sent a survey team right away, I wouldn't be able to get out of the woods so easily. "

"But, as I said before, if there are people like black dogs or stronger ones, they might break through...?"

"Well, that's a good possibility.Ten to eighty-nine, the five people sent this time will not be the main ones.The five of them, even if they had to, cut the outer layer in half.If the main class or the black dog comes out, they may come out to the inner layer. "

"In that case, I have to get out of here before then... I'll hurry up with my research."

"We'll bring as many herbs as we can.Focus on the grass.Let's get out of here as soon as we can. "

"... okay! Let's do it!"

As the slatter rattles and the chair rises, he enters the room with a temper.It's about Slater. They should be willing to study it while you're asleep.We must also harvest herbs so as not to waste them.

"Nil and I will go to the outer layer after a little rest.Heine and Pilte, pull the information out of the men. "

"I'll take care of this.I'll make sure I get the information I need.And of course, medicinal herbs. "

“I asked for it.”

Heine and Pilth, when they stood up, went out of the house to the rocks immediately.I wonder if they are going to spend time around the rocks, except when they come to deliver medicinal herbs and eat.

Everyone's going to have a pretty tough life, but it's just for a few days.

"Nil, check your gear and get some sleep.Even if we can take the slime, the outer layer is a dangerous place. "

Yes.

After all, it was a break, but it was decided to repeat herbal harvesting and unusual slime exploration.

When I return to Slattan's house several times a day, I hear how much of Slattan's research has progressed, I hear about the necessary herbs and the herbs that are about to run out, I collect them, come back... and repeat.

Together with Heine and Pilte, we had time to return to our homes, share the information we had obtained, and return to our respective roles.

"The two bandits we caught seem to be part of a handyman."

Two days later, the identity of the bandits became apparent.

We stopped each other once and we all decided to have a discussion.

Handyman is a bandit operating near Janoya.

I wonder if the leader was a golden Rox...

"The remaining three bandits seem to be operating further north from Janoya, and the closest one seems to be a handyman."

"Did you get a good idea of where the other bandits were operating?"

"No, they only know it's north of Janoya."

"I see... but now you know it's okay if you pay attention to the north."

What about Fujorde? "

"Apparently, both handymans have strong connections.It looks like you've given quite a financial help and asked for a job many times. ”

The bandits of the Fujords.It's only natural that you're working near Janoya. What about Zaraine? "

"After all, Fjorde seems to be involved."I don't know for sure, but it looks like Handyman is also making money by buying and selling Zalain.The city of Janoya, of course, seems to be selling Zaraine in nearby villages and towns. "

"I can't forgive you..."

As for Slater, both the handyman who makes money using Zaraine and Fujorde will be hard to forgive.

“But if you're making so much money and selling it all over the place, I don't know where Zalain is coming from.”

"From where… is Fjorde preparing?"

Heine is looking at me as to what to do now, but that's not the case.

"Indeed, it is Fujorde who is preparing it, but we are talking about where Zaraine comes from in the first place.

I wonder if a plant called Zaraine is quite unusual.And yet, in addition to the big city of Janoya, it should be quite a lot to go to the surrounding villages and cities. "

"That's true..."

"It's impossible to gather things that are native, and realistically speaking, it's normal to think that there are places where Zaraine is grown.

I've heard that Zalain is quite difficult to cultivate and that no one has succeeded, but... maybe you know how to do that.

Cultivation is forbidden wherever you go, and because it is illegal, it is almost impossible to profit from cultivation, so there may be no one to cultivate it and no method has been found... "

"You can't profit from harvesting it?It's expensive, right? "

"No, it's expensive." Drugs that are only available to people who can afford them, and they are illegal.You can't sell anything like that even if you grow it.People buy food instead of paying for it. "

In a world where life itself is difficult, demand for drugs is unlikely to arise.It can't be sold to the general public.Then I want to sell it to the nobility. But it's illegal, so there aren't many people to buy it...

"If there is a method that makes cultivation easier, there will be no disadvantage of being expensive, so you can also make a good profit.I hope not... "

If you're cultivating it, it's highly likely that you're expecting a slatan.I just hope that that technique and that it is not possible for everyone.

"Let me know if you know anything about it."

I got it.

"Returning to the handyman, are they settled in a specific location?"

"No, it seems to be mainly around Janoya, but it doesn't seem to mean it's settled."

"For us, it's more troublesome..."

"Yes, but the two captured knew where the handyman bandits were gathered."

"I appreciate that." Do you know where it is? "

"Yes, I understand. It's all near Janoya."

"When that happens, it's up to you to go to Janoya.Let me know if you know anything else. "

"Yes, then we'll be back."
