Chapter 153: 153 Episode 153: The determination is a strange flag scent.txt

The next morning.

I woke up slightly earlier than my alarm went off.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face as usual.

I stretched out and did some bending exercises.

I feel good. Enough sleep.

Her mother worked a night shift and hasn't come home yet.

When this bunting is over, it's time to settle down. I want to take care of my parents.

In order to do so, I have to clear the Hitotsutsuzuki alive.

In other words, it's a death flag.

I left my mother a note saying I was going to be gone for three days.

It would be weird to come home and sleep during the Hitotsutsuzuki period.

Because it's a very tough time to be away during Hitotsutsuzuki.

I've heard that the monsters that appear during Hitotsutsuzuki change.

The only monsters that appear here are usually skeletons, but there are also goblins, orcs and other fleshly creatures. There are flying ones, magical beasts, and golem-like ones as well.

There are many monsters that have never fought before, so you have to play it safe and sound.

Of course, I asked the priest to refer the records of the last "Konogishi Meguri", but as expected, it seems that it was a mixed battle everywhere, and there are few decent data. One thing we know is that on the third day, there were almost no small fry, but strong boss-class ones appeared one after another.

We'll have to fight to find out how strong they are, but if they're going to be like that Cyclops of Lucraella, it's going to be a very tough fight.

Furthermore, it seems that the boss-class enemies were not time-springs, but rather a pattern where if you beat one of them, the next one would come out.

That in itself is fine. It's rather welcome.

It's just that if you get attacked by one enemy after another while you're still motivated, you're stuck with them.

But instead, the specification was that the Hitotsutsuki would not end until the last monster was killed in a monster spot somewhere: .......

Although the data is incomplete, it's almost certainly correct, since the records were abducted a thousand years ago.

The one who defeated the last monster last time was, naturally, Yumegen.

What this means is that if some powerful warrior somewhere defeats the Last Monster, but if each one of them is motivated, they'll be in a difficult situation as time goes on.

On the other hand, it also means that there is only one last monster.

...... Well, I guess it's that thing called ...... that makes people compete to see who can bring out the last monster first to defeat it, as a game presentation.

I don't really care about the last monster, but I'm not sure about the strength of the other locations.

I've been informed through the priestess that there is a strong possibility that the next Hitotsutsuki is going to be a "tour of the kono shore", and that I've been prepared with this in mind - but how it actually happened is unknown.

Well, we'll just do what we can in our own home!

◇◆◆◆◇

Past the mirror and into the house.

'Good morning, Orica.'

'Good morning, sir!　They're all out already!

Orica alone?　It's rare that Deanna isn't there too.

'Yes. I heard that he asked me to give him some weed or something, and Marina pulled him away.

Well, she's a princess, after all.

Orica was busily preparing a meal in the kitchen.

There were enough for today's lunch and dinner. The ingredients were piled all over the table.

It must be quite hard to prepare a meal for a total of 60 people all by herself, but she didn't ask to do it alone because she was the only one who couldn't fight.

The new knights are helping to bring the food and ingredients to the site.

The main thing here is prepping and making nigiri, and they make soup and grill meat in a huge pot on site.

Then Orica, it's a lot of work, but I ask you to help me. It's a lot of work for Orica, but let me know if you need more help. The newcomers are still a liability in battle, so there's no problem in sending them over here.

I said that and left the mansion.

All the equipment is in place. A simple skeletal mail and magic sword made by the grand master.

I'm not a good match for undead types due to the performance of my weapons. Instead, I'm extremely strong against opponents that can absorb energy.

I feel like I can take care of all the goblins and orcs.

The time is only seven in the morning.

The Hitotsutsuzuki starts at 9:00. It's an act of God. It's an act of God.

Oh, Priest. Good evening.

I called out to the priest as he was looking around to see what he had made in the rush work.

Today, she is wearing a kind of overcoat over the priest's uniform and putting a hat on her head. I wonder if it is a priest's battle dress. Whatever it is, it's cute.

''Jiro-san!　Good morning. I've heard about you, but this is amazing!

Yes. I'm glad we managed to get it ready in time.

Priestess is probably referring to the weapons we prepared for the war against Hitotsutsuki, the earthen walls, and a hole in the ground here and there. Not so much holes, though, as small-scale craters.

We built all sorts of things in the past week of rushing construction.

I made a passage with a wall about two meters high so that any monster that comes out of the monster spot is sure to hit the trident.

In terms of shape, it's the shape of a Ψ.

A bag of dirt worked great for this. It is difficult to make the wall even if I pile up the soil, but the soil in the sandbag is very good at it. The shovel we bought at Homsen did a pretty good job, too. Because the cost of one shovel is different from this one.

Each of the four-way streets can be walled off with huge boards.

Let's say the path to the right is A. The path to the left is B. The path in the middle is C.

Since C is the middle path, monsters will basically come to you from here. Normally, this path is closed. It's only opened when you see a strong monster, and it's designed to destroy enemies that come out of the woods with a wrecking ball.

Always keep A and B closed on one side, and when a bunch of monsters have gathered in the corridor, give them a ballista to take care of them. The exit side is tapered, so there will always be traffic at the exit, so it should work.

Defeat the omissions with your warriors.

If the ballista is not effective, open up triggers A and B and take out the enemies in two groups in the order they come out.

That's the strategy in a nutshell.

The ones that come over the walls and the ones that fly. There will be some enemies that don't move the way we want them to, but if you assign warriors to these irregularities as a matter of course, you'll be able to manage them.

The important thing is to be able to take a break and fight with a safety margin.

Shamash-san's summoned monster beasts will do the job of closing and opening the highly dangerous walls. He can command them from a long distance, making it easy to use.

The tug of war for the destructive iron ball is also a golem. This is pulled by two golems.

However, once you've summoned five golems, you can't summon additional golems, so you can't rely on Ai-chan for help even if there are strong monsters.

Jirou-san, I've been assigned five spirit stones, so please leave the injuries and strengthening magic to me!

Priestess says.

I'm grateful for five spirit stones. I don't know if this is a huge amount of money for the finances of this country or town.

''Oh yes. You may have heard from Deanna, but we've prepared quite a bit of money for you as well, so please let me know if you don't have enough.''

''If it's an ordinary injury, I can treat it with my normal magic. With this many spirit stones, even if it's a 'konoishi tour', it should be fine.

And the priest is here.

In fact, unlike the clunky elf Deanna, Priestess is a proper spirit wizard. She can control warding magic, recovery magic, strengthening magic, granting magic...... numerous mystical magic.

The recovery magic is especially valuable. With Deanna, you have to use spirit stones, so there are inefficiencies like having to use elixirs for minor injuries.

In that regard, Priestess should be able to treat a cut on the spot.

Oh, and we've prepared plenty of food, drink, and snacks for you to eat, too, Priestess.

'Yes!　I've already had some of them.

Saying that, the priestess pulled out a bag of country mamens from her pocket and scowled.

I heard that country mamma is quite energy efficient as a portable food, so I bought it. It's delicious even if you eat it in the usual way.

We left the priestess and went to the base camp.

At the base camp, the knights were busy getting ready for their work.

We have provided the newcomers with crossbows. That's something anyone can handle, and it's quite powerful.

Furthermore, all the participants were provided with Tabi Shoes, so they all had Tabi Shoes on their feet. However, the ex-mercenary corps also loved them, and eighty percent of the members had split up their footwear. It was a level that could be opened by a Tabi Shoes shop.

However, there's not much to prepare for now.

What we had to do was to prepare for our personal equipment and minds. Prep. Confirm the flow of battle. Chatting.

Everyone is doing that kind of thing to their hearts' content.

Some are anxious, some are restless, some are laughing, some are praying to God. All sorts of things.

But most of them are still anxious. It's just as well. They are fighting the scourge of humanity, the Hitotsutsuki. Aside from the ex-mercenary children who were warriors in the past, the newcomers have never had to fight in battle, and they can't be blamed for their anxiety.

Not everything will go as planned, but when it comes to the Hitotsutsuzuki, I have a thousand years of know-how, if anything.

I've provided material support, but in the field, I'm going to leave it to Rebecca and her team. I thought about the tactics with them, but as for the operations, I'll leave it all up to them. It's also said that you can climb a ship with more boatmen.

I'm going to fight as a combatant.

Hmmm. This morning's demon sword is thirsty for blood.

Leave the sloth to me.

After that, I wandered around, talking to everyone one by one, before finally arriving at Diana and Marina's place.

◇◆◆◆◆◆.

Oss.

...... Master, I've come a long way to get to me.

Deanna says, sweltering.

'Indeed, I was the last to come in after I said hello to the others.

'That's because I was wearing my princess armor earlier,'

Marina laughs.

I was just in the middle of putting Deanna's armor on when I came to the square, though Marina was in the middle of putting Deanna's armor on.

But of course that's not the reason for the detour.

''There's no reason for it to be a reason. They're my people, so I just put them last. No, they're all my relatives now, though.

As an owner, I can't afford to be close to just my people.

It's going to be a long three days. Whether or not I'm going to talk to them and give them a pep talk, it's going to be necessary.

Deanna is wearing a dress and armor that she got for the parade.

Deanna is the last guard, so the chances of her being in danger are quite low, but she is a human crane. You should at least equip yourself with some armor.

Marina is the usual equipment. The halberd was given to a rookie knight (although he was quite reluctant to use it because it was given to him by me), so lately he's been using only the Mjolnir hammer. Marina's hammer is indeed a boss-level drop item, or perhaps it should be called a boss-level drop item, as it has the power to smash any golem class that Shamash-san summons into pieces with a single shot.

This time, too, I'm sure it will play a great role.

''Ah, I have something to say to you two. I mean, I've already told the main members now, but since you guys seem to be especially overwhelmed--

I debated whether or not to tell you, but some information is better left out.

'Actually. Apparently, I can die and come back to life in this world.

What?

"Huh?

You are reading story The Amusing Other World Trading Travelogue of Net Auction Guy at novel35.com

The two of you look pissed off.

Yeah. Oh, well, you're right. It's a radio wave.

I've been told by the Great Magician that I'm a 'player' in this world and that 'players' can't die. I'm not going to have to go to the store to buy a new one.

I can't help but feel that the two of them, especially around Marina, are going to be reckless, so I have to nail them like this.

Well, Marina and Deanna are both clan members, and maybe they'll come back to life after they die, but that's not the same thing as this.

If the combatants lose their cleverness and their numbers dwindle, the battle lines will collapse.

If they couldn't defend this place, there would be damage to the neighboring villages and Elishe, and no one would be able to revive them over there.

And yet, if all the members of the knight squad that were supposed to be fighting are still alive with plenty of time to spare, and they're just standing around in the temple in a daze, that would be a court case.

''Marina is unable to obey that order, sir.

Marina says crisply. Marina is already not my slave. I terminated my contract before the parade, and I didn't re-sign her.

So I don't have to follow orders. I don't have to--

No, you will definitely obey me. By the way, Marina is already an old-timer in the Knights, you have to think about your junior. Don't worry about me.

Marina is more important to the Lord.

Marina says it crisply again.

It's so straightforward that I'm embarrassed to hear it.

It is painful to die. Whether or not you can come back to life is irrelevant. Marina is the knight who protects the Lord and the princess. That's why Marina would never abandon the Lord.

Looking straight into his eyes, Marina assured him.

If this happens, Marina won't break. She's stubborn.

'I see. ...... I'm glad. I'm glad, though.'

I'm flattered, but I'm in a bit of a bind.

That's not exactly how I feel about dying. I can't fight as if I'm going to die.

No, I don't intend to die, but I tend to get high no matter what I do in battle. When I'm high, I want to fight with that tension.

There are plenty of monsters in Hitotsutsuzuki, and I want to enjoy them where I can. Perhaps it's because it's a game, but fighting monsters is a lot of fun.

Okay. I'll put Marina on the other side of the battlefield, for God's sake.

I can't fight anyway, so we'll have to leave it to Marina.

Deanna says boringly. 'Anyway, .......

'Deanna has a Deanna fight. And I've got plenty of spirit stones for her.

'I can only use simple techniques anyway. It would be more useful for the priests to use it.

Why do you stink at ......

In fact, Priestess is probably better at being a miracle agent than you are. That one is a professional among professionals. He's a veteran of more than 50 years in this field.

''Deanna is more of a spiritual prop as a princess than a spirit magician. It's just a matter of you cheering everyone up, so you can do your best. This is a job no one else can do.

............ That's probably better done by Ion, too.

Why do you stink at ......

The identity of Aeon has been told to the main members and members of the mercenary corps.

Lately, Aeon has lightened up and we're all able to get along, but that's not the only reason why we're sure it's the royal family.

Per Hetty, their loyalty to Aeon is probably higher than Deanna's. She was originally a holy knight protecting the royal family.

Everyone in the former mercenary corps may also be more familiar to Ion and have a higher level of princess status.

As a knight-sir princess, she might be completely defeated by Aeon: .......

Hmmm.

I know it sounds like a weird flag to say here, so I figured I'd say it after it was all settled--

So, when the buntings are down...

I tried to say it lightly, but I stuttered subtly.

These words are hard to say.

Any man.

'What is it when it's over?'

My Lord, I am red-faced!

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit it. It's hard to get used to something new.

When you're done with Hitotsutsuzukis, maybe we should get married.

What?

"Huh?

It was a bombshell, even if it was my own.

The two of them let out a dumb voice and stiffened, then grabbed at me.

'Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ki?'

Which one is it?

Why are you surprised?　You can't say that here!　Even if you call it a joke now, they won't listen to you!

You have been observed to be married in a bigamy.

The two of them wobbled and shook me.

I didn't expect this kind of reaction.

'Hey Marina, why are you even trying to marry me instead of me?'

Of course. The Lord loves Marina, too.

You always say 'princess' and now you're showing a lot of 'em.

Didn't you always say you wouldn't let the Lord have a monopoly on that one?

The two of them stare at each other at such a close distance that their noses touch each other.

I'm sure they're good friends ...... but Marina can be stubborn.

'I've liked them both since the day we met. You can't ask me to choose one or the other, and in this country, there's no law that says you have to pick just one. If I'm going to marry you, it's going to be both of you.

I said crisply.

It's true that it's a scabby feeling, but there's no need to apply the laws of Japan, which is just a nation of the earth, to a different world on a distant planet in the future.

We've been too careful and put up with it for so long.

It's time for us to take our relationship with everyone one step further.

Taking the step of marriage was a statement of my resolve.

If I only wanted to have a physical relationship with you, it was not impossible for me to do so with my current relationship.

It's true, isn't it?　Marina, can I trust you?　Are you sure you're going to marry Marina as well?

Unlike Deanna, who was half stunned, Marina confirmed that she was more giggly than I thought she would be.

Marina has changed.

There's no comparison to the Marina of a while ago when she was so exhausted and lacking in confidence. What's the difference, though, is difficult to say.

In a nutshell, it's probably ...... that she's stronger now.

...... Well, I'm sure he's not completely confident when it comes to asking questions like this, but I'm sure he's not completely confident.

I'm serious about it. I've been thinking about it for quite some time. Well, I didn't mean to say it at this time. What about Deanna?

'My dear master. I'm ...... I'm ...... so happy ...... I'm really happy but ...... It's like it's too sudden for me to wrap my head around.

Deanna looks like she's half panicked.

Well, I rarely pretended to be like that, either. But I'm told that in the old world, there was no stage of dating or anything like that, and it's not as far-fetched as it sounds.

"...... What do you do with Tycho?

Marina asks, her voice killing her.

'I've been friends with Rebecca for a long time as well.

'Yes. 'Yeah, I just wish Rebecca-san was better.'

Originally, Shero-san also asked me to take care of Rebecca.

At that time, I wasn't prepared for this in the slightest, but now I'm not.

It's also important that I'm able to afford to live in Japan, even if it's thanks to Yumegen-san.

The strength of the knight squad is in place. The store is also doing well.

So, if that's the case--

Right after Deanna looked up and was about to say something.

The knights who were looking up at the moon in the sky began to buzz.

We also stopped talking and looked up at the sky.

When we checked our watches, the time was just 9 o'clock.

The moon, which now fit together completely and became one.

The two moons of different sizes, red and white, float together in the sky like a donut.

The moon and the moon flickered in the sky.

The two moons overlap each other and become one completely.

A tenfold and twentyfold ring of light emerges around the moon, and the stars twinkling in the vicinity move at an unusual speed and twinkle in a circle.

It's so bright you can see it even in such a clear daylight.

And with the moon as one, and every time the circle of light pulsed -

Ah ...... ah ......!

Deanna moans as she hugs her body with both arms.

Both of her legs are struggling and trembling and she feels like she's about to fall over.

'Hi, Princess!　Are you all right, sir?

Marina leans in close and rubs her back.

Deanna has an unusual amount of sweat on her forehead and is shivering.

'This ...... reason is reversing ......!　That line of stars is a "tour of this coast": ......!　Um, it's so powerful that the ...... stars are darker than those in the mountains ......!

Deanna says as she shakes it up.

I knew it was a 'tour of these shores'. There was a possibility that it wasn't, but it's a pity.

Since it's already come to this, we have no choice but to do it.

Under Rebecca-san's command, the knights take up positions.

The demonic beasts that Shamash-san summoned are also in place.

The moon completely mingled into one, changing its shape to a disastrous crimson, and the sky changed its color to a monochrome dullness.

It's a great spectacle, as if the stars themselves have been transformed into something unknown.

'The reason has been reversed ....... It's beginning.

As if triggered by Deanna's mutterings, monsters rush through the forest.

The disaster of the world, the Hitotsutsuzuki.

It has finally begun.
