Chapter 5, Episode 15 [Bicep's Poison Tooth] Part 1

On that day, the Baron and Earl of Salzberg territories of your son Chai. One man appeared in the upstairs window of the fort, built near the boundary between the two adjacent territories.

"I'm finally here"

Ryo Jin nods contentedly at the pressure emitted by the soldiers dyed in black, who line up neatly under his eyes.

A few years after Ryo Michizawa, who was just a high school student, was summoned to this earth world by a prank woven by the Goddess of Destiny.

How much effort and blood did it take to get to this point?

Number is power. That principle is not so different from the earth or the earth world.

And now Ryo Jin is trying to show the world for the first time the power he has cultivated. The power I've been hiding and nurturing for years.

Even then, it is a glimmer of anxiety that springs up in Ryo's true heart.

(Once you start, you can't go back. I just have to win anything)

I fully understand that I am neglected from my surroundings.

From the majority of the Roselian aristocracy, it's not just a rising civilian, from the knights' point of view, it's just an object of jealousy.

Some humans discern the true power of Ryo and try to help him, but the number is enough with the fingers of both hands.

Ryo Michizawa is a heretic to most people living in Roselia.

And people hate and eliminate heretics. The psychology is no different on Earth or in the earth world Earth.

Still, the reason I've managed not to be crushed from my surroundings until now is because Ryo Jin himself has tried to hide as much power as possible and has adjusted to be undervalued as much as possible.

(I'm fine... I've already talked to Elena. I also got a sufficiently satisfactory reply from that woman. Everything is going according to my plan...... later)

The army that I raised with salt. It's not that I'm not sure.

But the vast majority of soldiers, with the exception of a very small number who took them to reinforcements to Zaluda, still have no real combat experience.

Naturally, but with strength. I've been hunting monsters living on the Waltenia Peninsula. As a force of war, it is certain that each of them has more power than the middle-class knights of another country.

But the battlefield where people kill each other is still separate from fighting the alien monsters.

The strong can't always win.

Intense killing intentions and raw thirst for others that a person possesses. That air that they mix together is still special.

"It's okay. Not necessarily..."

Laura standing on her side gently held Ryo True's unconsciously trembling hand.

No matter how thick your nerves are, it will be difficult to remain calm if you go to battle to bet your future on boulders.

Because the future of Ryo Mitsuzai is not the only one.

"You say you're finally taking the first step in your grief. Temple of Ozai"

Suddenly he was called from behind on the way to a place that he would normally never show to others, and Ryo Jin slowly turned to his face with a glowing laugh.

"Please don't be surprised. Mr. Nersios."

"No, this is rude. We're hunting is part of the business, and it's a habit that erases the signs."

Liang Zhen flaunted her shoulder to the dark-skinned man who scratched her silver-haired hair with laughter when she said so.

Is it an escort behind him, or several soldiers kneeling with a hooded cape hiding their faces?

"Thank you for dropping me off today"

Nersios' position remains vague.

He is not a minister in the Baron of Michizai family, although he goes by the Seilios' Ryo Truly Built Mansion and most of the time there is a Nersios figure in the important meeting venue.

If I insist, I would have just said allies.

"Hey, now you're dealing with someone important to us. There's not much we can do, but we'll do whatever we can to help."

Having said that, Nersios puts his hand in the inner pocket of his clothes and seduces a single cigar.

And when I turned it around with my fingers two or three times, I ate the tip off.

"Excuse me. I can't calm down until I've spoken of this lately..."

With that said, Nersios brings the spell fire lit at his fingertips closer to his mouth.

"As long as you're happy for me."

Although it is the attitude of Nersios, who can never be said to be polite, Ryo Jin nods with a gentle grin.

The sub-races living in Waltenia make full use of their physical abilities and pedigree traits, as a result of which they operate a certain standard of living in this enchantment. They took a long time to adapt to this magical life.

But the life is never rich.

Although daily food can be used to sniff paste by collecting native mushrooms and nuts in the monsters' meat, depression and lush forests, it is almost impossible to obtain the kind of preference.

It is about alcohol, which is made from nuts, but its production was only known.

I can't afford to live.

They just exist to live. Of course that may be natural considering living in an environment called the Waltenia Peninsula. The cultural part called luxury and entertainment was too low compared to the high capacity for the production of weapons and the knowledge of magic.

That's why Ryo Trun gave them their hobbies and taught them how to enjoy life.

To dive into the pockets of the less entertaining subpeople.

"It's really spectacular. It's like a legion of mythological heroes."

Liang Zhen felt a mild hook in Nersios, who appealed to Nersios, not to mention his insignificant compliment to Liang Zhen for viewing him alongside the hero who appeared in the myth, and the meritorious man who was able to build that legion.

Most of all, rather than being offensive, the bitterness over the desperation felt from Nersios laughed.

(Well, from this guy's point of view, can't we help it? You won't be able to cut off contact with the outside world now.)

Once you improve your quality of life, lowering it requires extraordinary effort and strong will.

"It is only with the cooperation of all the tribes, starting with Mr. Nersios, that we have that and this. I appreciate it. Because it's quite difficult for humans to have this much armor engraved with the grant technique. Besides, your knowledge of jurisprudence is better advanced."

Nersios nodded satisfactorily at the words of gratitude released from Ryo True's mouth.

In fact, if a knight from another country sees at first sight the weapons worn by the soldiers, he should peel off his eyes and raise his voice of surprise.

Granting jurists are even less valuable than grammar artists, many of whom are surrounded by the state and leading merchants.

Also, the weapons used in granting magic are valuable, most countries often give priority to leading intermediate or higher knights, and the countries that can equip all of the Knights will be about three major countries, including Ortomere, among the western continents. It is then limited to some troops, including the Kingsguard Knights and the SS Knights, who serve on the King.

The unnatural nature of such expensive armaments worn by a local lord, Ryo Mitsujima, could be described as an anomaly felt by everyone who saw this legion.

And it was the subpeople who lived on the Waltenia peninsula that made that anomaly happen.

"As long as you say so and you're happy as we are. I would like to continue trading...... there"

Having said that, Nersios rose the soldiers kneeling behind his back.

"Actually, I have a proposition for moving our relationship forward today."

"Saying?

Show me your faces, you guys.

Nersios orders the soldiers to take the hood, grinning at the bright and true question that leans his neck against Nersios' words.

A living gem appeared in Ryo's true eyes until its divine.

"This is..."

"I have chosen among my tribes those who are particularly good in appearance and strength to bring them. Use it as good as you like, Lord Shiba. My arms are certain, both as a guard and as a magician. Besides, I don't care if you make me a kid. Everyone's already agreed to it."

Liang Zhen had no words to give back to Nersios, who raised his voice and laughed with a laugh like a prankster.

(This guy's gone... here he comes)

Ryo True's head starts full rotation trying to grasp the aim of this surprise attack.

(Given Mr. Nersios's thoughts, it's a bad idea not to take it... not to mention whether to hold it or not, do we have to put it aside as an escort)

Attempts to exchange specialties unique to the Peninsula for preferences such as alcohol and tobacco, vegetables and medicines, and other products that are not self-sufficient on the Waltenia Peninsula, are arguably the only unique opportunity for Nersios and others to connect with the world outside the Peninsula.

And the only negotiator in this world is Ryo Shiba.

At least, you wouldn't mind saying that it's impossible for Nersios to find other business partners on his own.

Even though the western continent is strong and weak in its influence, the fundamentals are widespread in the teachings of the Order of the Light God, which speaks of subhuman exclusion.

That's why the Submen have been hiding in this dangerous zone called the Waltenian Peninsula.

How much there will be on the continent at the service of a lord who does not seek to oppress the subhuman. Also, assuming it existed, how likely would that lord and Nersios meet?

Given the element of saying so, for Nersios, the man who says Ryo Ozashi is an irreplaceable and important pawn.

At least, I don't have to worry about Nersios betraying me, unless Ryo Jan pushes such an unscrupulous demand.

(I guess that's why Mr. Nersios is anxious...... do you want to increase the deal volume a little more)

Even from Liang Zhen's perspective, Nersios deserves to hold hands enough, but as one who leads a people that has been hunted down and persecuted, it can be taken for granted that he wants to make the connection strong.

"Now, as a thank you, let's increase the amount of alcohol and tobacco exchanged previously cited as a request"

"Oh, I really appreciate that. Because they're both very popular among everyone."

Getting the exact perception of the wishes I had hoped for, Nersios grinned at the full face.

Naturally, but I want something in return for cooperating. But putting our wishes into words can be a rather dangerous bet in this case.

Because it is received as gratuitous and can damage Ryo's true mood.

That said, there is a possibility that there will be another problem with not saying anything about the request, so I just said balance around it.

"Time... so for today, that's it. If you have any problems while away, talk to Simone and Bolts."

A small nod in Laura's ears standing on her side makes her mouth say goodbye to Ryo Trun.

"Okay. Good luck..."

Nersios bowed his head deeply to Liangzhen as he turned his cape on refreshment to the talks.

It was a tribute to the king.

Thus, on that day of the Western continent calendar two thousand eight hundred and fourteen years, the two-headed serpent with the head of gold and silver quietly begins to strip its fangs in an attempt to swallow this continent.

Of course, no one knew about it yet. Even the prey, who will be the first to be poisoned...
