HP1 kara Hajimeru Isekai Musou - Chapter 35

Extra Arc: The Legend of The Metal Slimes Brides Strength Part 1

TLN: With the LN out of the way, its back to the WN where we left off.

The polished, selective-picked marble was dazzling in the afternoon sunshine.

In a room surrounded by luxurious furnishings, the Lindahl Emperor was running his pen through official documents.

He stopped his pen momentarily and made a puzzled face.

After thinking for a bit while stroking his beard with his hand, he inquired a thin man who stayed by his side.

A criminal wearing a mask and mantle?

It seems that he stole a jewel from the Duke of Martas residence.

I see, it is strictly forbidden in our Lindahl Empire for commoners to oppose the nobles. This is certainly a felony.

However, since its this particular noble were talking aboutwe dont know which gem was the one that was stolen. In other words, its a bit questionable whether this persons a criminal or not.

Before those words were finished being said, the emperor had completed the signing of the official document.

Okay, on to the next document.

Is this really okay? This is a document convicting him of charges across an entire continent.

While swinging his stout and fat double-chin, the emperor laughed.

It doesnt matter, why are you being a man speaking for the commoners? From the bottom of my heart, I say that whatever circumstances surround this individual are inconsequential. Whether or not hes innocent is of no concernIts time consuming to double check official documents and veto themIf you just approve it automatically its much less of a trouble.

Do as you may.

So, on to the next document.

Shaking his head left and right to the emperors words, the slim man stood up.

Well, Your Majesty, the next duty concerns a representative of the farmers requesting an audience.

Oh, come to think of itthere were arrangements for a meeting or something like that.

With the clap of the slim mans hand, about twenty knights wearing helmets and armor pompously entered the room.

Half of them stood along both sides of the emperor, the other half spread out in a line to form a wall in front of him.

Then, a shabby man entered the room.

The wall of knights surrounded the emperor, leaving a ten meter gap between them and him.

In order to prevent the farmer from committing a sudden act of treason, they formed a flesh wallit seems.

While leaning his elbow against the desk, the emperor let out a yawn.

You there, if you have an appeal to make, then state it as quickly as you can.

Lindahl Kingif this over-taxation continuesour people wont be able to sustain themselves.

Denied. And that wont change for as long as humans are inferior to the demon race.

The man began to speak, refusing to back down to the emperor who said it bluntly,

Are the heavy taxes going to armaments?

Indeed. You know that our Lindahl Empire is part of the Agstoria Alliance, which is headed by the Noranouk Kingdom, dont you?

However, Your Majesty, the humans cant defeat the demonsor rather, the demon nobles. And itll probably be harmlessif you get the people to pull back in the war.

The Noranouk King and I will not tolerate that. If humanity only makes a half-baked effort then we will be wiped out. Humans overlooking demon noblessuch a situation cannot be tolerated.

Lightly nodding his head, the man glared at the emperor.

Or to be more precise, he was glaring at the ten half-naked ladies standing behind the emperor.

A bed was installed into the office, making it so that they could comfort the emperor at any time.

Whats going on with those women? Are they on duty?

The emperor laughed scornfully at the man.

Would you understand me if I say that I tend to favor the beauty of heroines?

Anyway, in my villagethere continues to be a bad harvestwe had to abandon the elderly and the children in the mountains to reduce the amount of mouths to feed. Its all because of these heavy taxes.

With an obvious hint of anger in his voice, the mans shoulders began to quiver.

So, whats the matter? At this point Ive already let a representative tell me their story already. My generosity for this is something to be praised for, not criticized.

Ive heard about how you keep 500 women to yourselfDo you know much the costs of operating your harem is causing us citizens to starve?

Dont speak to me like that. My fancies to a farmers starvingare not even comparable.

While clenching his fist, the man shot up while grumbling,

I understand, Your MajestySince thats the case, allow me to do what I planned to.

The mans eyes changed to that of a scarlet hue.

His body grows and his clothes tear.

Silver fur covered the surface of his body.

He had a large mouth with teeth the size of a finger, and a red, drooling tongue hung out.

The man was a werewolf.

While accelerating with carnivorous intent, he made a beeline towards the emperor.

The knights in helmets and armor that were between the emperor immediately drew their swords, but they could not keep up with the speed of the man and one after another, their swords swung only through air.

He made a short hop, and using one of the knights shoulders as a stepping stool, he leaped.

The emperor and the werewolfthe difference between them was only one meter.

If he managed to sink his teeth into the neck of the emperor, it would be checkmate right then and there.

A werewolf, how

I was picked up when I was a baby. It was by a poor, but kind-hearted farmerand so they constantly treated me like a member of the family

The man continued,

But then my sister-in-law grew weak from malnutrition. During that she caught influenza and died. Its all because of you and your heavy taxes.

Understanding the circumstances, the emperor stroked his beard.

YouI wont you get away with this rude behavior.

The man smiled with a grin.

Yeah, Ill be killed. But youll also be killed by me. Im fine with that.

Youre finewith that?

If you drive even a slave to a corner, they will bear their fangs. Then, by putting their life on the line, the slave will easily kill their king in one thrustif you all can understand that, then your children will be treated at least a little better.

I see. Though, dont you think your acting careless? Do you think this is going to work?

From the corner of the room, small shadows immediately emerged and stood behind the unsuspecting beast-man.

Then with a flash of light, a glittering sword was drawn towards the beast-mans neck.

Actually, it was at three places, the beast-mans right hand, his neck, and his heart.

Unaware that he was surrounded by three entirely black men, short swords were thrust towards the beast-mans weak points.

The beast-man got into a panic.

It was unlikely for his swiftness to be dealt with by a human, he knew that with confidenceHe did not know how he got into this predicament.

There shouldnt be anything this fastwhat the heck?

A man clad in black, who aimed at the artery on the beast-mans right hand, replied,

We are the Noranouk Kings elite force, those on the lowest seats.

The man continued his words behind the beast-man,

Although I say lowest seatsthe pure fighting strength of the three of uscan match the Great Sage Signum.

The beast-man let out a shocked voice,

A power equal to a legendary mage?

A man in front of the beast-man, who seemed like the leader, began to speak,

Well then, its curtains for you.

With those words as a signal, the beast-man collapsed onto the floor, afterwards leaving behind three fountains of red.

Emperor raised an voice of admiration while applauding,

As expected of the Noranouk Kings prized people that I borrowedThis the first time Ive seen you guys in action, but what a performance it wasThat beast-man hunted down those chivalry troopsWasnt he on par with a high-risk demon?

With the amount of power we have, its about as trouble-less as taking candy from a baby.

The emperor laughs joyfully in satisfaction.

If you people covered me, do you think youd also be able to handle a demon noble?

If talking about one of the lower rankswe can bodyguard.

Although he asked about demon nobles as a jokehe got an immediate answer.

The emperor sensed a faint chill.

In the long history of humanity up until now, the record for the number of times a person was able to win against a demon noble can be counted on both hands.

Yet, the men in front of him claimed that they could do it.

The Noranouk King said that he was using heroes from another world to investigate how to earnestly exterminate the demon nobles.

Perhaps, these three people were battle weapons produced as part of that.

As of now, the documents, that were carelessly handled, on top of the desk in the emperors office room were now arranged for the continent the following day.

It took about three weeks for the crimes of a masked mantle-wearing man to spread around the whole continent.

Of course, that information also entered the ears of those women:

The Succubus Queen,

The Medusa of the Demon Beast Forest,

And the former Demon Lord.

When hearing about that information, there was one common thought among them.

That human had been unjustly incriminated with false charges

Those women either had awakened partially to a love towards Yuuki or just harbored admiration for him.

The girls felt that the person they placed their faith into had been dishonoredThe two more aggressive individuals especially got into a fit.

When the former Demon Lord, Natasha Erigaul, heard the news, she made a smile and declared,

Alright thenLindahl Emperor, this means war.

Authors Note:

I plan on having this take three or four chapters.

Though, I dont actually have a clear idea about how long the extra arc about these women will take.
