Chapter 20: 20

Interception, rock ogre

***---***

 

I entrusted my armor to Manon, and I was taken away by Donovan-san, who grabbed my neck.

 

Isn't it too easy to grab my neck?

 

"If you don't resist badly, I won't feel like doing rough things ..."

 

"Yes, I understand ..."

 

No, I have no intention of resisting Donovan-san from the beginning.

 

Manon and Muell-san look worried, but Gilik looks hostile.

 

Well, I'm a suspicious child now, so it can't be helped.

 

[ Kent-sama, something bad is happening ... ]

 

[ Hmm? Basten, this something bad, isn't about my situation? ]

 

[ Yes, a flock of rock ogres is approaching from the Devil's Forest. ]

 

[ Ehhh ... ]

 

While being taken by Donovan-san, as soon as I received a report from Basten through telepathy, I heard the sound of a warming bell from the distance.

 

"What a hassle at a time like this ... Kent, you're not involved, right?"

 

Pushed by the power of Donovan-san in serious mode, I could only shake my head and deny it.

 

As we entered the guild building, a young adventurer rushed in.

 

"Donovan-san, it's terrible, there's a horde of rock ogres!"

 

"What it's rock ogres, and not small fries? Damn ..."

 

After showing a confused expression for a moment, Donovan-san increased his stride while dragging me.

 

"Gi ... ku, neck ..."

 

"Hey, lend me the key to the library!"

 

Donovan-san dragged me into the staff space behind the counter, unlocked the library and threw me inside.

 

"Fugya ... this is ..."

 

"I don't have time right now, so be quiet in there ..."

 

"No, just a moment ..."

 

The thick door was roughly closed in front of me, and the sound of a heavy lock was heard.

 

It's pitch black in the library without windows, but it's not a problem for me, who has good night vision.

 

The rock ogres are more of a problem now.

 

[ Basten, how many? ]

 

[ Yes, at a glance, it seems that there are more than 200 heads. ]

 

[ That's a tough number for the garrison and adventurers, isn't it? ]

 

[ Yes, if they fight normally, they will make a considerable sacrifice ... ]

 

[ Okay, let's deal with it, Fred, come back! ]

 

[ Kent-sama ... Already here ... ]

 

[ Then, let's go ... ]

 

I sank from the guild's library into the shadows and started moving.

 

When I moved to the shadow of the wall under the guidance of Basten, I heard a tense voice from the top of the wall.

 

Apparently, garrison and high-ranked adventurers are gathering.

 

"Hey, they're still coming out, how many heads do you see?"

 

"Okay, don't let them enter the city, we'll stop them here."

 

"No matter how powerful a rock ogre is, it doesn't mean it can't be hurt or die!"

 

"Hey, isn't Donovan-san here yet? Who went to call him?"

 

When I turned my gaze toward the Devil's Forest, a rock ogre appeared from the forest.

 

"Uboaaa! Uboaaa!"

 

I wonder if they're gathering their friends, some of them are actively howling.

 

It's the first time I've seen them in the sun in the daytime, but I feel a sense of crisis when the rock ogres, which are powerful even with just one, comes out with a zorozoro.

 

[ Reinhardt, is there any problem with the three of you? ]

 

[ Buhahaha, there's no problem, my sword is thirsty. ]

 

[ Then, can Reinhardt and Basten take charge of the subjugation, and Fred can I ask you to deal with the missed ones and collect the magic stones? ]

 

[ OK ... leave it to me ... ]

 

[ Reinhardt, Basten, you can rampage to your heart's content, but you can't break the walls. ]

 

[ I understand, leave it to me. ]

 

[ Captain, let's do it as far away from the walls as possible. ]

 

[ Then ... get rid of them! ]

 

[ Oh! ]

 

When I gave the GO sign, the three of them stepped out from the shadow of the wall.

 

Oh, this appearance is cool.

 

It feels like a squadron of heroes.

 

"Hey, where did these skeletons come from?"

 

"Well, they're heading to the rock ogres? What? Are they on our side?"

 

"Well, a skeleton wouldn't be the opponent of a rock ogre ..."

 

With the confused voice from the wall, Reinhardt and the others calmly walk up to the rock ogres.

 

When the distance between the two became about 10 meters, the three stopped and pulled out their proud weapons.

 

[ Buhaha, Basten, are we going to compete for the first time in a while? ]

 

[ Sounds good, branch leader, shall we do it? ]

 

[ Leave the collection of magic stones to me ... ]

 

[ Good, Basten, let's go! ]

 

[ Shaaaa! ]

 

Wow, all the evil skeletons kill, it's enough.

 

Reinhardt stepped in at such a speed that you could see an afterimage, leaving a roaring sound, and when he swung his beloved sword Gram, the heads of six rock ogres literally blew off.

 

In the blink of an eye, five rock ogres had their heads pierced and died from a series of spear thrusts from Basten.

 

"Uboaaa! Ubo, ubo, Uboaaa!"

 

Rock ogres who were excited by the smell of the blood of their friends flooded in one after another, but Reinhardt and the others made them into a bloody festival one after another.

 

In addition, Fred quickly walks up to the rock ogres that they have defeated and collects magic stones.

 

Every time Reinhardt swings his big sword with one hand, and every time Basten thrusts his spear, rock ogre's heads disappear like a balloon pierced with a needle.

 

Wow, it's literally a one-hit one-kill.

 

[ Nu-boring, this is too easy. ]

 

Suddenly, Reinhardt threw his big sword into the shadow space, and is now hitting the rock ogres with his bare hands.

 

On the other side, maybe they realized that even if they send one rock ogre at a time, they can't do it, several of them jumped at him at once.

 

With a right straight, a left hook, a headbutt, and a Reinhardt blow, the rock ogres' heads are still popping off.

 

It seems that the bones of the rock ogre's legs are broken with a single low kick.

 

Wow, it's just like a Rakshasa, with blood dripping off his head.

 

[ Shaaaaa! ]

 

If you look at Basten, he doesn't move much, he thrust his spear and destroys a neck, and he hits their heads with a spear.

 

Rock ogres, which are clearly far from the spear's range, are also prey to Basten's spear.

 

Yeah, I can't catch up with my eyes at all, and once again, a long-range attack with a spear ... If you think about it too deeply, you'll lose.

 

The rock ogres were quickly reduced in number and annihilated in no time.

 

"What's this! What the hell is going on?"

 

"No ... what's happening to them ..."

 

"Wow, that skeleton is insanely strong!"

 

Oh, I can hear Donovan-san's voice from the top of the wall.

 

Come to think of it, I'm supposed to be in captivity, so maybe I'll head back soon.

 

[ Fred continue to collect magic stones, Basten hunt the remnants, Reinhard ... wash up in the river and return as my escort. ]

 

[ I got it! ]

 

On my way back to the guild, I went down the shadows and looked at the city, but people had disappeared from the street and all the shops closed their doors tightly.

 

It seems that the people in the city are accustomed to responding to the invasion of such monsters.

 

There was a tense atmosphere in the guild, and Muell-san and Manon were at the bar.

 

The bar also has tables and chairs tidied up at the edges, and the windows seem to have their shutters closed.

 

When I was looking at the inside of the guild, I heard Kan, Kan the sound of a laid-back bell from the outside.

 

Immediately, the inside of the guild was wrapped in the sound of a sigh, and the tense aire was relaxed.

 

Apparently, it sounds like a bell telling you that the danger is gone.

 

Well then, let's go back to the library.

 

I went back to the library, but I didn't have anything to do, so I fell asleep while sitting with my back to the shelf.

 

Although I used self-healing to cover it, it seems that I was still tired.

 

I didn't even notice the heavy sound of the library being unlocked.

 

"Hey, Kent, get up!"

 

"Wow? Hmm ... Good morning."

 

"Hmm ... monsters were attacking, but you're a calm bastard ..."

 

"Gi ... Cho, Neck ..."

 

Donovan-san grabbed my neck again and dragged me to the second floor of the guild.

 

Klaus-san was waiting in the drawing room, further back than the conference room where we received our training.

 

"Hello, Klaus-san."

 

"Oh, Kent, what a problem this is ..."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you."

 

I was seated on the sofa while Klaus-san was sitting on the opposite seat across the table.

 

"Donovan, does this look like a Resenburg dog?"

 

"No, but there is a possibility that it's great acting that doesn't show it ... well, but just in case."

 

"Well, Kent, I'd like to hear from you, but first of all, who are you?"

 

As usual, Klaus-san, who seems to be a little frivolous, and is a bad old man, but his eyes aren't laughing today.

 

However, I was planning to reveal my identity and request cooperation, so it was just a little earlier than planned.

 

"I pretended to be the only survivor of a caravan, but I'm actually an other-wolder summoned by Camilla Resenburg, the third princess of the Kingdom of Resenburg."

 

"Huh? Another world? Summon? Are you really saying that?"

 

"Well, I would like to talk about what happened since I came to this world ..."

 

Well, even if you say you were summoned from another world, you won't be believed right away, so I talked about things after being summoned in order.

 

In the first grade of junior high school, about 200 people were summoned as soldiers, not as heroes.

 

The summoned people have a higher magical power than the average person.

 

Then, when I said that they were fitted with a black bracelet to prevent the rampage of magical power, Klaus-san's expression became cloudy.

 

"Kent, is that a 'slave bracelet'?"

 

"Maybe ... I think so."

 

"Why weren't you wearing a bracelet?"

 

"They didn't put a bracelet on me because I was judged to be useless."

 

"So why are you free and why are you in Volzard?"

 

I told how I was deceived into thinking I would get one last chance if I was able to cross the Devil's Forest alone.

 

How I unknowingly summoned skeletons while being attacked and eaten by goblins.

 

How I unconsciously used self-healing magic, Klaus-san met Donovan-san's gaze when I told them that the wound had healed the next morning.

 

"Kent, summoning a skeleton is dark magic, and healing wounds is light magic, but you're saying that you have both aptitudes?"

 

"Yes, I think that's probably the case. I can use darkness magic, and I can also use self-healing magic. Maybe that's why the 'Evil Eye Crystal' did not respond ..."

 

After that, when I told him that I had selected and stengthened three skeletons and that I had traversed the Devil's Forest thanks to their escort, Donovan-san's complexion changed.

 

"Three skeletons? No way ..."

 

"Yes, it was those three skeletons that were having fun playing with the rock ogres."

 

"Where are they? Where are they now?"

 

"In the shadows ..."

 

When I pointed at my feet, this time Klaus-san nodded as if convinced.

 

"Kent, did you use that skeleton to threaten some thugs?"

 

"Wow? You even know about that?"

 

"Obviously, I'm a lord, because a monster appeared inside the walls it caused a big fuss."

 

"Uh ... I'm sorry, the knife was flicking, so ..."

 

"Fuhahaha, then what do you say you summoned a skeleton because of a knife? Fuhahaha."

 

Klaus-san was laughing while holding his belly, but Donovan-san was still expressionless.

 

"Kent, can you control that skeleton perfectly as your familiar?"

 

"Well, that's ... what I mean, they're not like familiars, it's like having an escort, and all three are moving on their own initiative ..."

 

"Then, does that mean that if the skeletons go out of control, there is no way to stop them?"

 

"Um ... that is ..."

 

When I was fumbling for words, Reinhardt spoke from the shadows.

 

[ We will obey the order of the summoner, Kent-sama, of course, unless it's something wrong. ]

 

[ Thank you, Reinhardt. ]

 

I deeply regret having a slight suspicion of Reinhardt and the others.

 

" Reinhardt and the others won't run wild in a way that harms people. They say that the'll obey me as their summoner, but before that, I believe it won't happen."

 

"But Kent, the skeleton is a monsters."

 

"Even if it's a monster, it's a reliable companion for me ... No, it's like my family, so there's no doubt about it."

 

Wehn I looked back at him with a determined look, Donovan-san nodded greatly.

 

"Well ... then, register them as monsters that you are using later."

 

"Huh, register?"

 

"Yes, it's quite rare, but there are people called tamers who tame and use monsters. It may be a little different for you, but if you register, you won't have trouble even if they are in the city."

 

"I see, I understand."

 

Indeed, if you register it as a monster you are using, they can stay in the city.

 

After that, I told them how I learned about the 'slave bracelet' and that Reinhardt's knowledge was old and Volzard was in another country.

 

How my classmates were taken away by carriage to be trained at Lastock's garrison.

 

I even talked about the unclear purpose of Camilla Resenburg.

 

"That's why I'm in Volzard. I know it's a really selfish request, and I'm fooling myself by asking, but please help my classmates, please."

 

I bowed down with the force of hitting the table and asked Klaus-san.

 

After a brief silence, Klaus-san opened his mouth.

 

"Kent, raise your head."

 

"Yes ..."

 

"First of all, thank you for saving Volzard from the rock ogres. Thank you. To be honest, it chilled my spine to think how much sacrifice would be made with Volzard's current strength."

 

"That's alright ... Please raise your head, Klaus-san."

 

When I raised my head, I saw Klaus-san bowing.

 

And the color of distress came to the face of Klaus-san who raised his head.

 

"Sorry, Kent, we're being so taken care of, but I can't live up to your wishes."

 

"Is that so ..."

 

"There are two reasons. One is that the purpose of Camilla Resenburg is unknown. If the purpose is a clear invasion of Volzard, it can be done, but for the domestic civil war and the development of the devil's forest. If that is the case, we can't help with it."

 

Klaus-san raised one finger and then raised another finger.

 

"Another reason is that your companions are wearing a 'slave bracelet'. Slavery was abolished in Landshelt, but it still remains a legitimate system in Resenburg. A person wearing a bracelet is treated as property, and it is not possible to take it away ..."

 

"Wasn't that the source of the war?"

 

"That's right ... I can only say that I can't reward the benefits of having the city saved, but I can only say that it's a pity, but I'm not the only one who is involved, but also the other city, Landshelt. It's not my decision, I'm sorry!"

 

Klaus-san bowed deeply again.

 

However, this is within the range of expectations.

 

"Klaus-san, please raise your head. I'm just saying, but if I can clear those two problems ... For example, about 200 children from a different world who are not wearing 'slave bracelets', If they cross the Devil's Forest on their own, can you help them?"

 

"Huh, that's what your plan is like?"

 

"Yes, I haven't made a detailed plan yet, but in general ..."

 

I talked about the plan I had in mind with Reinhardt.

 

"I see, you thought if they were trained by the Resenburg guys to develop the power to travers the Devil's Forest ..."

 

"I'm impressed that you're even thinking about contact insiders."

 

Both Klaus-san and Donovan-san agreed with our strategy.

 

"Kent, you would like to help your friends as soon as possible, but let's hold off a little. In the Devil's Forest, once a mass outbreak of monsters occurs, the movement of monsters will become active for a while. It is better to determine the condition of that area and plan the strategy."

 

"Yes, at the moment, neither the knight type nor the mage type is at a level that can be used yet, so even if I carry out the operation, I think it will be a little longer."

 

"Well, if you have any questions about when to do it, please feel free to ask me or Donovan. I will do my best to help you."

 

"Yes, thank you."

 

I shook hands with Klaus-san.

 

The rugged hands that I can't think of as a lord's hands feel very reliable.

 

I was planning to ask Klaus-san for cooperation, but I was a little worried about suddenly talking to him, but as a result, I was relieved that he promised to support me.

 

It's a shame that the people of Volzard are openly involved, so I decided to keep my rescue plan confidential and continue to live as usual so that I wouldn't stand out.

 

Reinhardt and the others also got registered, but will continue to be hidden in the city.

 

The bone fracture was explained as being thanks to the effect of the blessing magic I received when I was in the caravan.

 

"If you have time before the rescue operation, do you have time for me to train you?"

 

"What? Do, Donovan-san ...?"

 

It feels like he's back to the usual Donovan-san, not ready for battle, but why do you have such a happy smile?

 

"Most of the time, you're probably training with the skeletons, but if you suddenly get stronger in an invisible place, it'll be suspicious, so I'll train you in a place that everyone can see. Then you won't be suspicious to others."

 

"No, no ... I'm like a mage type ..."

 

"Then that's extra, if that's not your path, we'll train you so it can be your path instead."

 

"Oh, Donovan, that's a good idea. After all, you're a benefactor of the city, train yourself so that you don't lose your life if you make a mistake."

 

No, even Klaus-san, why do you think this is so much fun?

 

Well, their doubts about me have cleared up, but I'm afraid that the clouds are building up, is it going to be a big storm?

 

"No ... hey ... if I escape to the shadow ..."

 

"Kent."

 

"Yes ..."

 

"Don't hold back."

 

"Yes ..."

 

I don't feel like I can escape even if I use shadow movement.

 

"Umm ... for training, I just have to clear the wind day and the following week's soil day, right?"

 

"What are you saying, the darkness day, the light day. There is also a class on the star day, and there is no end to training in the first place. Humans will continue to learn and train for the rest of their lives ..."

 

"Ehhh ..."

 

"What are you complaining about?"

 

"No, no ... Thank you."

 

"Oh, leave it to me, I'll make you stronger than Gilik right away, hahahaha."

 

Well, the special training was supposed to end in two weeks, but ... I haven't heard about this.
