Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"The hidden villages of Garosa and the others are on the north side from here."The village of Tenolt, where Shinya and Nil went, will be southeast.

And... among the information I got from the two captured was that a large unit of Handymen was sent east from the Hidden Village... that is, from here to the north-east to the northeast. ”

Heine shows the position of the troops in circles.

"Large Troops...?"

I don't know the exact number, but it looks like a force of about a hundred people.

It may not seem like it's large enough, but in a world without the concept of a country, a hundred troops is big enough.

"That's quite a size, but... is there something here?"

"No, nothing."

……

There's nothing left, but a force of a hundred men...?

"That's why... I think it's scary."

That being said, Heine pointed at the branch of the tree, a sign that shows the hidden village that he drew when he explained it earlier.

AH!!

"It doesn't make sense to send a hundred people to a place where there is nothing."And... if you were a hundred people, you'd easily crush them in the village, right? "

"Does that mean that the location of the hidden village has been discovered?!"

"There are mostly slave children in that place."The bandits and aristocrats are the only ones who have escaped. If they get caught... "

“Worst-case scenario.”

"It's uncertain information from the two memories, but at least I'm sure they're sending troops to this place.I don't know where this unit is headed, but we need to hurry. ”

We need to let everyone in the hidden village know immediately!

Sura-Tan stands up.

"No, let's settle down for once."

I'll stop it.

"Why?! If we don't go now, there's no fighting force in that village that can fight a hundred troops!"

“I know that. But if you want to save a hidden village, you can't just charge in and smash your enemies.”

Sinya-kun's special magic is enough to get rid of it all at once, right?!

“No, I don't think all the hundreds are in the same place.If I don't let the prey escape, I'll surround the area, spread it apart, and then raid it.

Even if you blow up some of the enemy units in that area, the rest of them will just keep raiding. ”

But don't stay like this!

"That's why I'm telling you to calm down.

In the city of Ponatala, you may have used the castle as a trap against us.It was very likely a trap.If we move poorly, we and the Hidden Village may be wiped out. "

"Ngh!!"

I know how Surakutan wants to help.I want to go to a hidden village right now.However, I have seen painful eyes with simple assaults many times.This time, rescue non-combatants and neutralize or annihilate hostiles.It would be very difficult to hear that, but on top of that, the people to be rescued are conditioned to be slaves.Helping ordinary non-combatants makes no sense at all.

Because... let's say a slave was caught by a bunch of bandits once.Then what about the bandits?First, you have to sign a contract so that you can be the master.Then, the slave becomes absolutely obedient to his master's orders.After that, I weep, but there is no other way to live except to obey my master's orders.

In other words, if you get caught once, you'll end up with a slave who doesn't have a master at that point.

The solution is to capture the slave and kill the contractor... but the other party is also wary.If you run away the moment you catch a slave and sign a contract, you'll be out of luck.It must be a hundred people for that purpose.Even if we capture all the slaves, more than half will remain.Enough to crush a small village… No, twelve.

In short, we need to disable or annihilate the bandits without letting them get anywhere near the villagers.

Completing it is not on the level of being difficult.

“What do you want to do?”

"First, I want to know the exact position of the troops."

"According to the information I've received, the troops will be finished gathering tomorrow around noon and will move somewhere."

It's a full day...

There is a possibility that the plan will be delayed due to the Ponatala incident, right?

“That's right. This plan was made before the Ponatala incident, so things are different now and then, and I think the timing may have changed.”

"... the opponent has taken all of Zaraine, so he's very angry, and he'll want to find us soon... maybe it'll only take half a day."

"It's possible that you've already started moving... right?"

"Ngh!!"

Sura-Tan clenches his fist.I'm desperately trying to run.

"... Suraktan. First, go to the assembly point and see what the situation is like."If you make a mistake, don't give me a hand. ”

I'm on my way!

Tan!

The slurp runs out before you spit out your words.Run faster than the wind.

"Heine, please enter the hidden village with Pilte.Tell them this and get ready to move.I hope you don't find me. "

“Okay, but where are we going?”

"I think I'll make up my mind when Surakutan returns."I hope we can all get together and escape... "

"It's better to decide when the bandits arrive early."

"... I'm going to give you a signal at the right time."But I'll leave the rest to Heine and Pilate. "

"... Roger that. I'll be right out."

I'll take care of it.

As Heine heads toward Pilate, she jumps out of the relay and runs north.

Master, what about these two?

The rest of Nil looks at the tents where the two of them were caught and asks.

"... that's right..."

I'm sure we still have the information, but this case is pretty urgent, and if all five of us don't work together, we won't be able to get the best results.In that case, the two caught from here on out would be quite intrusive.

It is impossible to take them around, and it is conceivable that if they are left alone, they will be rescued by the other party.

The lord is just a puppet, not a bargaining card, but I thought the handyman cadre might be able to use it...

"... let's get rid of it. It would be foolish to carry a heavy burden and put the villagers at risk."As a source of information and as a card for negotiation, it would be a pity to put the bandits and the villagers on the balance. ”

No one gets a pound of what they're after.You shouldn't choose to jeopardize what you have to protect.No matter how much you waste, you must disconnect when you disconnect.

Got it.

Nil puts his hand on the small sword and tries to head for the tent.

"No. Nil, get ready to go."We'll leave as soon as Surakitan returns.I'll take care of them. "

"...... I see."

I was looking at me a little bit and thinking about something, but in the end, Nil nodded and started getting ready to go.

I can largely imagine what you tried to say, but the exchange of things that you don't do is a waste of time.Nil, who understood it, nodded without saying anything.

So I go into the two captured tents.

"Ngh!! ngh! ngh!"

"Nnh!"

It seems that both of you have woken up, and when you look at me, you're trying to say something while rambling in a tied state.You can skip your neck mercilessly, but I might give you something... so you can free your mouths.

"Come on, please! Help me! I'll do anything!"

It was Lord Ponatala Tuil who was begging for life from the beginning.I know I can only beg for my life because I'm a man with no power, but I don't know what to say... so pathetic.

It doesn't mean you can be frightened of death, but if I don't say anything and you do anything, you can say it.

If the Lord says he will do anything and the opponent asks for something instead of saving his life, what will he ask for?Money, power, status... well, there's a lot of them, but they're all built at the expense of the city's inhabitants.In other words, this lord offers all his ruling inhabitants before I threaten them.Although it is not a big city, there are quite a few people living there because it is a city.Do I need to show mercy to a man who wants to save my own life rather than the lives of all those inhabitants?

"I'll do anything to help you."

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Gotcha.....

The answer is no.

Without a shred of hesitation, I drop the Lord's head.

There was not even the earliest anger or dreadful emotions.

"I... killed you..."

The remaining handyman cadre raises the corner of their mouth as they sweat coldly.

"You killed him! Hahaha!"Now you can't escape!No matter what I do, I won't forgive you! "

Man laughing like a mad cadre.

"You will be killed!We can't get out of here! Ahahaha!They'll kill you!Kukuku... ahaha! "

"... those people?"

"That's right! You can't beat them after you've scratched your feet!"Because the dimensions are different! "

…………………

"I hope you die with regret!" Ahahaha

Shh, shh!

Gotcha...

A mad smile fell on the ground, and I looked at his head.

Master, I'm ready.

At that moment, Nil calls out from outside the tent.

"Let's wrap them up in a tent and burn them where appropriate."

Got it.

……………

What's the matter?

"... Nil. Perhaps the opponent is stronger than expected."

"Do you mean...?"

"Before this man died, I said they were going to kill me."

"Those people..."

“There may be more than one player.”

"Huh?!"

It can be said that the executives of Handewarmen said that they were different people in different dimensions, referring to the player.And how to call them multiple people.The opponent thought he was a single player, but normally he was thrown into a stranger's land and acted solo... no, it's unusual.It's like me and Surakutan.

It makes sense to assume that the player is basically acting alone.

If there were more than one person...

"It could be more fierce than I imagined."I don't know if the players are mixed up in this unit, but I have to think about the possibility and move... "

"... I might die..."

Just because you have high stats, your presence is very dangerous.Not to mention, Nil and I are unlikely to be able to deal with the top players.

"There will be more troubles one after another..."

To be precise, I didn't just notice more trouble, but I also noticed that if the nightmare mode continues, I feel that the mental part will be cut off.

"Master."



Nil lowers her head a little and calls me.

"... I know you've gone too far, but... let me dare say it."

"You can't possibly think that you've gone too far. What?"

"Well then......"

Nil turns his head to the ground, looks me in the eye, and opens his mouth.

"Sure enough, I think it would be troublesome to say that the player... is the enemy."But they are the ones who help the bandits.It would be difficult to understand the reason anyway.

You can only take it away from others, and those who enjoy it can't beat your master who spares no effort to train every day.

I don't know how strong they were in the original world.But how much training have you put into this world? ”

"No... there's a ten-year opening when it comes to Surakutan."Although I haven't done any training, I think the difference is huge... "

"No, I can confidently say that I have seen Master."

Ten years of those people is a week of Master... no.It's less than a day. ”

How could she say that with such confidence... no, I'm glad to hear that...

Ten years of losing in one day is not too much for the boulders...

"Can't you believe what I'm saying?"

"I don't doubt it, but it's a stone's throw..."

“It's not an overstatement.”

Nil returns my words without any hesitation.

"From the day Master saved me, I've been... watching Master all the time."

So I know.In the unlikely event, you can't afford to lose to those you can only take away from others.

if you say you are not confident..... "

Saying that, Nil leaned down again.Unlike before, my ears are bright red.

"Um... trust me... trust me..."

The last person's voice has become so low that I can't hear it, but I can understand what I want to say.

If I can't trust myself, trust my own words that trust me.That's what he told me.

After all, just because the process is different, it doesn't change my trust in my abilities... but really, Nil is an indispensable part of me.

I slowly put my hand on Nil's head.

"Thank you."

Nil looks up at my face under her hand and it turns bright red.

"Um... um... um..."

Losing the embarrassment, Nil fell down again.

It is pathetic to be told so much and to show that you are not confident, as a master, no, before that, as a man.

I have to do everything in my power to make sure Nil's words don't become a lie.

Nil smiles even though it turns bright red under my hand.In response to her words, I was no longer allowed to lose.

"Good. I've got a temper, and I'll set up a plan."

"... yes!"

Nil laughs with her still red cheeks.I've always been helped.

It's a big deal, but when you decide what to do in the future and you're ready to go.The slacker comes back at an over-speed.

"Hah! Hah! Hah! Hahhhhh......"

I'm sweating all over my body and putting my hands on my knees.When I got so exhausted from Surakutan's status, I must have run pretty hard.

"Are you okay? Do you want something to drink?"

"No, no... it's okay... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Surakutan looked pretty bitter, but he managed to regain his breath and wake up.

“It was a pretty tense situation.

We've already gathered our troops, and we were just waiting to get started.If we don't hurry, it might be bad. ”

"I see... slurp."

Listen to the situation, understand that you must move more carefully and quickly, and tell Slatan about the player.

"Multiple players... it's only natural when they say it... I decided that they were alone, so I decided that they were alone."

"I didn't even know how many people there were or where they were, but they could have participated in this raid."

A player...

"... there it is. I want Suraktan to be ready for the villagers to escape."

"...... shouldn't it be better to join the fight with the players?"

"No. It's more important to get the villagers out of the way than fight the players."If we can get away without a fight, that's the best thing to do.

With the mobility of the Suraitan, we should be able to get an idea of the situation and provide backup to a remote location.I think it will be very burdensome, but in order to see the situation and let the villagers escape, the existence of Surakutan is essential. "

"... I see. What should I do?"

To be honest, Surakutan can carry things safely by participating in a fight with players.

However, we have determined that it is dangerous to involve Surakitan in a battle that may kill the player.

Why is that?

This world is a world far from reality for me and Surakitan.Bandits and evil aristocrats meet in such a world.They are also one of the distant realities for me and Suraktan.

If you say it, you can say it's like defeating an enemy in a game.

I don't doubt Surakitan's readiness.Surakitan's readiness is real.Thanks to that, I am also able to help.

But it wasn't just a fight with the players.

Those who know the world beyond, and those who are in the same situation as themselves.Killing such a person is not the same as killing a bandit here... it is a more realistic murder.In other words, it's the same feeling that kills people in the original world.

You might think that the slugs that some of the bandits put on their hands would not change anything now that you've killed the players, but it's not.I think that Suratan, including other players, unconsciously thinks that when killing people in this world, as a way of escape for the mind, it is a world far from reality... that is, it is in the game.If you don't, you won't be able to keep your own heart.

However, when it comes to players, that excuse becomes unusable.Inside is someone who grew up in the same world as me and was sent to this world just like me.If you do it badly, your heart will be broken.

In that regard, I've... killed people.In the other world...I don't mean to say I'm okay because I'm experienced.I've been regretting my life for that.

But I met Nil in this world, and I got over it.Whether it's the player or not, I'm not lost anymore.If it's the opponent that has to be slaughtered, don't hesitate to... slash it.
