When I listened to the reports of the vassals properly, I was caught with a word that rarely appear in everyday life, and I was curious so I asked back.
It’s rare for me to slip in a word, and Mimis, who reported it, had a surprised face, while answering my question.
“Hah. A meteorite has fallen on a road outside Pindos. The road was damaged, and the meteorite is blocking it, so there is a request for its removal and restoration “
“Is it just a meteorite?”
“It’s just a meteorite. There was nothing artificial about it, such as magic power.”
“Fuuhn, meteorite, hah……”
I’m pondering about it.
Mimis knitted his eyebrows at me who just listened and didn’t give any instructions, but nevertheless, he resumes his report for the political affairs.

In the afternoon, I left Pindos.
A meteorite which was blocking the road, I was curious about that.
Needless to say, the road that connects the city and the towns, is a well-maintained highway.
A meteorite fell there.
If it’s humans, they can take a detour, but drawn carriages and horses which can’t do that get stuck.
Distribution of goods stops, and the people in the city were troubled.
I decided to go see what it actually was.
“I’m not going to do it by myself.”
As I walk on the main road, at least I ―― made a firm decision.
It’s always been the case these days, I do something and it often backfires.
That’s why I’ll go see it, give instructions mainly if necessary, but I won’t do it on my own.
Let’s give only instructions which is a natural thing for the head.
This is also the trend recently, but trying to hide it backfires.
“Don’t move the meteorite on your own, do the most obvious thing for a head.”
While muttering so, I proceed along the main road.
On the way, I saw a teahouse where a large number of travelers have stopped and were eating.
They were roughly old men, girls and children.
Men who seem to have physical strength were crowding, and resting a little away from the teahouse.
To be stuck and eating like this, it must have been a huge meteorite.
While wondering how big it is, as I go further――
“A’re?”
When I arrived at the scene, I was surprised at the sight in front of me.
The meteorite is there, which is also quite huge―― it was.
Past tense.
The meteorite which makes you wonder if it’s a single-story house that completely blocks the main road, has been broken into small fragments.
A laborer ―― workers who seem to have been hired by the Canoe family are doing the removal work.
It’ll still be a long time before it is completely removed, but enough space has already been created for one wagon to pass through.
When I started to mind that, I look though my shoulder.
However, why was it in small pieces?
I’m also curious about that, so let’s take a closer look.
And then,
“It’s a terrific swordsmanship……”
Unintentionally, words of admiration came out of my mouth.
Looking closer, I can see it well.
Meteorite ―― In other words, the huge boulder was not crushed by a blow, but it was torn apart by countless slashes.
“You understand very well.”
One of the workers who picked up my murmur said that with an impressed face.
Geh, I stirred up the hornet’s nest.
“This, was done by Sword Saint Perseus-sama. We were lucky, Sword Saint-sama happened to be near Pindos. If he wasn’t, I wonder how many days would it have taken to get rid of this.”
The workers have said that in a tone which boasts about what they have seen.
Apparently, they don’t know about me(head), but if I get involved any more with this, I will come out in this place.
I turned around in silence, and retraced back the way I came.
“What was that, geez, people here are being considerate to inform him”
The worker said dissatisfiedly, and returned to the rock removal work.
