Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

As a token of my gratitude, I got the right ingredients from my camouflage bag and had Nil cook dinner for me.

"Noo?! What the hell?!" Can you cook like this?! "

So Kevin became interested in Nil for the first time.

"With the guidance of your master, you can make many kinds of things."

Nil only acts as a slave.

"Does that mean you can make Kaido too?!"

“You'll be able to make more delicious food than I can.”

”Haa... my arm is strong, I'm an S-rank adventurer, can I cook even?”

“Anyone who remembers cooking will be able to cook.Is that so surprising? "

"Remembering to cook is amazing in itself."I live alone, so it's just incredible. "

"I don't want to hear what it's like..."

"Nevertheless....."

Kevin looks towards Nil.

“My name is Nirvana. Please call me Nil."

"Nil. I've seen some other slaves, but Nil is... bright."

The market for slaves is pretty much the same as the one with dead fish eyes. ”

"It's all thanks to Master."

"Hmm... slaves have no choice but to say so, so even if they don't think about it, they'll say the same thing, but in Nil's case, it looks like they really do."You're cherished, aren't you? "

Is it still strange?

"No. It's not unusual, but there's nothing strange about it."

Since I was an A-rank adventurer, I sometimes took on the work of aristocrats, but the solid aristocrats often cherish slaves as well.Sometimes it costs money, but being polite and planting loyalty can also motivate slaves.

Well, I've never seen an adventurer do that personally, but if he's smart enough, he'll realize that it's more efficient to tie him with loyalty than to tie him with pain or fear.

If you're an S-rank adventurer, you know that there are noblemen like that without me explaining it to you. "

"... oh."

………………

I'm not trying to tie Nil down at all.Nil knows that, and I think Kevin wants to hit on the strong denial, but Nil keeps her mouth shut.The objection here is not about slavery, and now I know that I should be cautious in my behavior of daring to make a wave.You've put up with me.

"Well, we're the only ones in this house, so don't be afraid."I don't care if you sit down and eat with me.I've never bought a slave, and I'm worried when I'm standing behind you in front of a meal. "

Is that okay?

"I don't care."Just don't do it anywhere else.In the cities and villages around here, slaves are treated as slaves.

When I was an adventurer, I went to various cities and found out that the treatment of slaves was worse around here.I don't really recommend it because I might feel bad when I go to the city. ”

"Is that so..."

It's a city ruled by lords with strong ties to bandits, so even if they say that the treatment of slaves is terrible, it's normal to be scolded.

I wouldn't say that because the lord was such a... but it would have a lot of impact.The feeling of people living normally is that if a slave is a slave... then it's better to be careful.

"Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"I see... I can't say it out loud, but there are so many bandits around here."There's a lot of damage.I don't think the S-rank adventurer will lose like a bandit... but there were a lot of bandits.I don't think it's better to be careful. "

"Bandits...?"

As naturally as possible, I asked back as if I didn't know.

"Yeah, like a pretty big band of bandits." My name is Handyman. ”

Will the lord not deal with it?

"No. It looks like we're dealing with it, but it's too many to catch up with."

Is there so many of them?

"I don't know where I'm hiding, but I can get away with it every time."There's more bandits on the other side.It must be troubling for the lord. "

Do you know or not that it is the lord himself who sows the seeds of troubles? Kevin wants to think he's being fooled without knowing...

"I see. I see." I'll be careful. ”

Oh.

The next day, I set out early in the morning to crush the monsters in the woods.The content of the monsters remained the same, about B-rank.I finished the crusade without any particular difficulty, and I was able to return to the village after noon.

In my spare time, I tried to create a simple armor by sharpening the nail polish of the green snail, but the size was difficult because it was for children.It was not too big or too small, and I struggled a little.That said, Kevin asked for a piece of armor divided into shoulders, arms, chest, thighs, and shin.To a certain extent, it won't happen that it doesn't fit at all.

By the time Kevin did his routine and came home at dusk, we had three sets of numbers.

"Oh, thank goodness!" You've made three more! "

"How's Kevin?Did you make it well? "

"No, no... that's..."

What Kevin brought was something rattled, something that could not be called armor.It shows signs of hard work, but it is a very unusable substitute for armor.

"This is..."

"I know! I can't use something like this!"So don't say too much! "

"Well... people are bad at what they do."

Kaido...

I'm impressed! But don't say it, Kevin.

But you used to say that you could make it with your own hands, right?

"Guhhh..."

You've been fooled, Kevin.

Well, well, now that we've got the kids' armor, let's make it better...

"I can honestly respect that kind of place."

"Sniff..."

Well, let's just keep bullying it like this.

"Oh, thank God... I can't hold my glass hearts anymore..."

A man who seems to have hair in his heart often says so.

Even so, when are you practicing that sword?

“In the morning. About an hour after Khaido and the others left.”

You're doing it pretty early, aren't you?

In terms of time, is it around six o'clock?

"Really? At that time, it's time for adults and children to get up and start working."

You're early in the morning, aren't you?

"Isn't it Khaido who got up early and was working?"

"In my case, there are monsters sleeping in the morning, so there is a reason that the defeat will be easier."

The farmers know that it is early in the morning, but will the children also come up at that time? ”

“It's the kids' job to help out at home.”

In this world, it's normal for a child to be allowed to work in the field as a parent from a young age.There is no school, so I will help you and play when you are finished.It seems that there is no school, which leads to a low literacy rate...

That's right! Hey, Khaido!

Kevin suddenly shouted and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Why don't you meet the kids tomorrow?!"

"What are you going to do when you see me?"

"No, no... I wonder if you could show me a little bit about the strength of the S-rank adventurer..."

You think you're gonna get paid again, Kevin?Apparently, it was thought to be a monetary slave.

"Please be honest." You don't take money as much as a child. "

Really?! Nah! You know what I'm talking about!

However, my swordsmanship is quite unique, so I don't think it will be very helpful.

"It's okay!" As long as you know how hard it is to become an S-rank adventurer! "



I'm going to show you my swordsmanship and teach you how difficult it is to become an S-rank adventurer...?Normally, I would teach you to try to use this kind of sword technique, but it feels weird to try to warn you.A little backward...

She said that she retired from the adventurer because of her injury, and maybe she wanted to teach her children the horror of using a sword.

As for the children, they probably want to be stronger, and one day they will be the best adventurer, and they will be telling a lot of big dreams.It's good to follow your dreams, but you want to know early that they're not easy dreams, and there's a risk of injury or death.

"Should I be careful?"

“No, I don't mind doing as usual.”

Is that so?

"I'm also an adventurer who went up to rank A."I can understand that the air surrounded by Kaido and the others is not normal.

It wasn't just a learned sword or a sword that crushed monsters... it was a sword that killed people. "

…………………

"No, I'm not blaming you."If you're an adventurer, you'll start a quest to crush thugs and bandits.I'll tell you what, I've got a couple of guys on my hands.But you've experienced a Shura that seems to be a child trick, haven't you?That kind of thing gives you an airy feeling.

Kaido holds the sword and holds it, which will be passed on to the children. "

"... I see."

There are parts that are said to be scary and unexplained by children, but, well, as Kevin, if you think it is good for children, you will become a demon.

Early next morning.

"Alright! We're all gathered!"

"Hey! Kevin! Who is that guy?!"

Perhaps the most energetic of all mouths is the cheeky boy who screams.

Red hair, short hair, red eyes on raised eyes.He is the most cocky of the ten or so children.Is he about ten years old?Sharp-eared Dog Man.

She is quite old, and she is about ten years old, the oldest child.All three children are about the same age.One of them is a brash child with red hair.

And another child about ten years old.Of the ten, one of the only two girls, a girl from the Cat Clan, called out to the brash little brat, who was about to disappear.

"The, zakke... it's rude to say like that...?"

The red-haired child seems to be named Zakke.

The girl who is trying to stop such a brat-like general is stretching her eyes out to hide the blue hair on her native perm.

"Zakke. Even if you call me Kevin, even if you give me a hundred steps, if you take a very cheeky attitude towards this Kaido, as Yana says, you will be beheaded."

It seems that the girl is named Yana.

"Ha, ha! I'm not scared of that!"

Zakke was bluffing. It is cute for a child of this age to be bluffing.

Really? Can I call you the S-rank adventurer you're after?

"Eh?!"

I was surprised to see Zakke's face, and I did it!With that face, I changed to a more aggressive face, but I was still a little weak...

It doesn't matter!

It becomes an adorable reaction.I think that children are such easy-to-understand creatures.

"You're scared, aren't you?"

"I'm not scared!"

"Both Kevin and Zakke... are arguing..."

The strong Zak, Yana, who is attafta.

"...... Are you an S-ranked adventurer?"

Kevin and Zakke are making noise, and a black-haired boy with straight hair and black eyes standing behind him politely asks.Not Kevin, but the most grown-up kid you'll ever see asking me directly.He is as old as Zakke and Yana.The salutation seems to be well used and firm.However, this kind of time is before the question...

"Can you give me your name first?"

"Oh! I'm sorry, my name is Lark."

"I see. I'm Khaido."

Khaido-san...

I was an S-rank adventurer, wasn't I?

I'm not used to dealing with children, so don't treat them normally...

"Indeed, I am an S-rank adventurer."I can show you my registration card, but... "

"I'm sorry... I can't read..."

“I can guarantee you that.”

You were listening to Lark's conversation with me, and Kevin called out as he held down Zacke's head and laughed.

"Yesterday and today, dozens of monsters were subdued."The number of monsters coming out of the forest would be considerably lower.That's what I did... "

Kevin looks at me.

Khaido-san...

The children are wobbly.It seemed like it was the first time I had seen an S-ranked adventurer.

Alright! I know you want to hear it, but I can't wait to start!

As Kevin shouted, ten children gathered around Kevin.Even though I say "zakke" and "bumps", I firmly go into the children's room.

First of all, I've got some of the armor I was talking about.

Show Kevin the armor he brought and left behind with his fingers.

"" "Oh!" "

"This was also made for me by Kaido."Be sure to say thank you! "

"" "" "Thank you!

I don't know what it is... it's a hint.Is this what kindergarten or elementary school teachers look like...?

"No, no, no."

Wow! You did it!

"Awesome! It's totally different from the one Kevin made! It's cool!"

"Ugh..."

It's my armor!

"Ughh..."

A child is cruel.

Even Kevin's hairy heart can't stand the violence of words.

"Well, well, if you guys are happy, then let's do better... Let's start with the preparation movement!" Let's get started! "

»» »Yes!» »

The children listened to Kevin and started the preparation exercise in pairs.Kevin's authenticity is conveyed by much more solid guidance than anticipated.

Alright! Now then, let's show Kaido and the others who came to the corner a little swordsmanship today.

"Huh?! Is it okay?!"

I'm looking forward to it!

"Hey, hey! It's not a big deal!"

As always, Zakke seemed to be stronger.I've never thought it was a big deal, but it's more than a kid in a boulder...

"Really? Then keep an eye on it."This means that you will become an S-rank adventurer. "

Kevin looks at me and nods.

I'll pull my straight sword out of my waist and just set it up.

"" "" ""... "" "

The children opened their eyes and suddenly became quiet even though they weren't exasperated.

Bhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I put my strength into it and wave my straight sword.

Nil also said that, but the sword and the sword have different sensations, so I couldn't come.I wasn't satisfied at all, but...

……………………

The children are watching me with their mouths wide open.

I waved my sword several times and put it in the sheath.

……………………

Still, the children who remained silent.

What do you say? Kaido's sword.

Kevin sees me holding the sword and tells the children.

"I thought it was amazing... but I was a little scared..."

Seeing that no one opened their mouths, Yana frightenedly opened her mouth to express her thoughts.

"Anyone know why I thought you were scared?"

………………

I don't think it's the kind of question children ask... but let's keep it quiet here.

"... the sword..."

Lark opens his mouth while everyone stays silent.

"I thought the sword was scary."

"The boulder is Lark. That's good."

A sword is a weapon to take a life in a clogged place.And it's the same for me.If you want to take a life, you need to be prepared to take it. ”

Some little children still don't understand what it means to die.They must have arrived at our brothers and sisters.But Kevin kept speaking.

"When you point your sword at someone, you need to be prepared to be directed at them."They're ready to kill and be killed.

I know you're still teaching us something early.Some of you don't understand.But the most important thing to learn is the sword. ”

Is Kevin ready to do that, too?

"Of course. When confronting monsters, when confronting bad guys, always be prepared to draw your sword."

I'm afraid there are people who don't want to be prepared for that.That's good. I didn't have to have a sword to be scared.

However, I won't tell anyone, but there is someone who thinks lightly about the sword and thinks he can do it. "

Everyone's eyes twitched.

Particularly attracting attention was Zakke, as you'd expect.

Oh, I am! I'm going to be an adventurer of S rank!

"I'm not saying that dreams are bad."I don't care if Zakke has such a dream.But if you want to live with your sword, you can't do that with a light feeling.I'll definitely die somewhere. "

Kevin dares to use strong words.

Nil and I may not be comparable because we are in a special environment, but even ordinary adventurers are basically deadly.It is natural because it is such a profession.

And the adventurer is said to be the most afraid of the first Crusade Quest.I heard many times that those who were stronger became prey to monsters.And most of them are young.

Kevin, the children who taught and learned the sword, are strong!I think you're mistaken, and you're afraid of getting hurt like yourself or dying.

"I thought Kaido's sword was scary because it kept getting over that kind of readiness and its weight was all on the sword."It may still be difficult for you, but please remember your feelings.

A sword is a force, but it's scarier than that. ”
