Isekai Tensei no Boukensha - 278 Chapter 19-3 Request from the Warlord
“The handle should be a little thinner.” And I feel more comfortable being able to face my baby. ”
“Also, you should make sure that your baby can’t escape easily.” If you’re a child of Temma, you’ll probably escape a little while away from your eyes. ”
“Amur, I don’t think there’s any escape from the boulders…”
“No, you should definitely escape.” I talked to Ceelia a long time ago, but when I put Temma to bed and did the chores, they disappeared at some point, so I tried to find her, but Martha seemed to be hugging her high in front of her house. ”
When I consulted Primera about the stroller because I could model the actual size, I was asked to ask various opinions because my grandfathers gathered sometime soon, and I changed the place from my room to the cafeteria and talked about it… but at some point, my black history became a situation of being torn apart. By the way, why did you steal my mother’s eyes and go out? I was able to move (hi-hi) by myself, so I tried to get on my feet and see the scenery outside. Also, even when I went out, I could see the ground and grass, which was not very interesting, so Aunt Martha caught me trying to get back home.
Huh? Is someone here?
I heard a cilomar barking outside as my grandfather was ripping my black history apart. If I knew her, she wouldn’t bark, so I used “Exploration” to find out what happened, but I couldn’t find anyone outside the premises who seemed to have an errand.
I’ll take a look.
and Aura left, but soon returned to the cafeteria with Siloumal.
Lord Temma, I hear that Slarin has received your letter.
When I looked closely, I saw a slalom on the back of the Shilomaru. Probably a courier came to the place we were outside with, and Thalarin picked it up. Maybe Shilomar was barking to let us know he was in Slarin and the Mansion.
“Um, nothing… Grandpa, it’s unusual that you asked me to nominate you, so I’m going to go to the guild now”
“It’s unusual… who asked you to do that?”
Lady Lyle.
I have received several requests for nomination from the royal family, but it was the first time that I had received a request from Lord Lyle. The request was not written down. It was just a letter from Mr. Lyle stating that the request for designation had come from Mr. Lyle and that he was sending a request as a military sergeant, so it would be better to show his face to the guild as soon as possible.
“If it’s a high urgency request, I might just go out, so maybe I won’t be back today.”
That’s what I said when I turned to the guild…..
“For those of you who might not come back, I could have come home sooner.”
I came back to the Mansion in about an hour.
“No, if I think I can hear the detailed story on the spot, I will tell you that I accepted the request first, so I think I will have an explanation directly from the other party within d ~ 3 days… I just came back because I finished with it.”
Well, if you think about it carefully, if it’s a non-urgent request, it would be that way.
“That’s right. Perhaps Lyle needs the fact that ‘Temma took over’ rather than Temma’s power.”
“Do you want to use it to promote something? Well, I don’t think you’re abusing it because it’s about Lyle.”
Perhaps it has the purpose of appealing to other nobles for the goodwill of the royal family and mine… but it won’t be very effective, as it is now. Then we can think of an appeal to the rest of the nobility… but I don’t think that’s going to have much effect, because I feel like it’s going to be something more than that.
“Anyway, I don’t know until there’s an explanation, so I can’t help thinking about it right now.”
“I don’t think so. I’m worried about Lyle’s personal request, but as a Warlord, it wouldn’t be a strange request.” It’s more important to have a stroller than to think about what you don’t know. ”
Everyone agreed with Grandpa’s argument, so we discussed the improvements and requests just like before we went out. Incidentally, since there is no word “stroller”, I usually say “baby stroller”, but I would like to change the product name to “stroller” when the actual product is made. It’s easier for me to say that.
“So, you and I are a team of five newcomers?” There aren’t many of them. ”
“This time, it’s a trial.”
The request from Lord Lyle was to conduct a joint investigation with the Knights of the Royal Capital and its surroundings. However, this request was sent to other adventurers besides me, and I was supposed to investigate the scope of each one.
Jean, who I know and who is also in charge of the knights, and five new knights who were assigned last year, go around with me. In the other group, there were fewer newcomers and more people to team up with, but Jan’s range was around the capital city, so it was necessary to go around with horses. A small number of people were better at moving around on horses, so they formed a group of six. If I was mixed in there, other newcomers would be fine.
Well, even if it was a newcomer, it would not be a complete match because it was an elite selected from among the cadets, and there would be less trouble because everyone was from royalty and nobility.
“Also, Temma. The purpose of this survey is to examine the surrounding terrain for dangerous monsters and animals, assuming that they were attacked by the Empire, but at the same time, to make the knights learn to cooperate with the adventurers.” If we’re going to go to war with the Empire, we need the adventurer’s help. If that’s the case, we’ll have to prepare for it. ”
and the newcomer had not been informed of the purpose.
The reason why the new knight hasn’t been informed is that he may not be able to process more than one piece of information at a time, and if he didn’t think very well of the adventurer, he may rebel and fail to investigate.
So my role is to teach adventurers how to deal with monsters and how to do things in the open air, right?
“Oh, I don’t need any mercy, so I’m asking you to do it as you please… well, as far as I’m concerned, I don’t want you to do it as much as you want.”
In addition to cooperating with the investigation, this request also includes teaching adventurers’ skills. In a way, I was told to play the role of instructor, but it seemed that this made it difficult to match the number of adventurers.
However, as an adventurer, it would have been easier if we had only gathered people with the highest abilities. However, since the adventurer’s knowledge and skills were excellent in addition to his combat strength, he struggled because of the limited number of people who could be trusted to a certain extent. The reason Amur was played was because he was judged to lack knowledge and skills as an adventurer, although he could be trusted for his combat power. By the way, it seems that your grandfather didn’t get a request because Ernesto objected. The reason for the opposition is not that I don’t like Grandpa anymore, but even though the strength of the Royal Castle will be reduced temporarily, it seems that it is to serve as a deterrent to reduce the likelihood of the Reformers having a coup d ‘état.
“Well, then, shall we camp for two to three days?” There is still snow, but if you take proper measures, you will not freeze to death. ”
Since the maximum number of restraint days to come to the request was three days, including the reserve day, I suggested that I use it in full to investigate, and Jang rejected it. There’s nothing wrong with a day, but in three days, it’s possible that a search party will be formed. Well, it may be more likely that you will decide that it is okay because I and Jang are here, but even in that case, it is Jang’s job to write a final report and report, so I want you to spare me.
“Is it time to move to the area of responsibility?” You guys are ready! ”
I waited for the scheduled time while talking to the public and met lightly before leaving the capital. The destination was around the forest where the dragon had been found before. It is also a place I often go to, so I can arrive in about an hour alone, but this time, because Jan and the others are there, the movement speed dropped considerably, and I also conducted a survey that also took a break on the way, so it took more than three hours to arrive.
Well then, Temma, let’s do it the adventurer’s way from here.
Roger that. But it’s a little different today, because I’m going to use my usual methods, and I’m going to ask Thalarin to help me, and I’m going to ask Silomar and Solomon to help me. ”
Originally, I would use “Exploration” there, but it’s basically a secret, so I don’t need to talk about it where there are unknown knights. By the way, I can’t ask you to do the usual thing because I haven’t brought any of the Surarins with me on this request.
After a light refusal, I stepped forward in the woods in front of Mr. Jang and the others. As for me, I didn’t use “Exploration”, but I was properly investigating the surroundings, but it seemed suspicious that the new knights seemed to be proceeding appropriately. But as soon as I noticed something weird in the woods before the knights did, my gaze disappeared.
“Jang-san, it looks like a bear has settled in this forest.” However, I can’t tell if it’s a monster or a normal animal, but I need to be vigilant. ”
There was a trace of rubbing his back on the tree trunk, which was relatively new, and he speculated that there were bears around here. Just in case, I searched in “Exploration” and found a bear wandering through the forest on its own, although it was far away from where we were. It was a big one, but it wasn’t a monster.
“I think it’s still a little early, but the hibernating bears are hungry, so many of them are ferocious.” Besides, I’ve never seen a bear in the forest before, so I think it ran before or at dawn. In that case, the range of action can be quite wide, so people could get attacked if they stay like this. ”
It seems that there are bears around 3m from the tree tracks, so it would be a hopeless situation if ordinary people encountered them. Even if I encountered an adventurer, if I didn’t have the strength to do so, I could become a bear bait.
“What do you do with bears? Fortunately, there are some signs that bears have moved, so we can track them.”
Well, the bear doesn’t have to be on a path that only humans can cross, so there’s a chance you’ll lose track of its movement along the way, but you can use “Exploration” to chase it. Even if something is suspicious, it will be possible to convince it is the experience learned in “Old Man’s Forest”. I actually have the experience to say that.
“Of course we will. Keep your eyes open while you stay out of the way, and be on your guard so the bears can show up anytime!”
Jean’s words made the Knights toughen their faces, but they quickly regrouped.
“Mr. Jang, there you are.” It’s by the rock about 200 meters away. ”
I caught up with the bear about an hour into the pursuit.
“What? Where? I don’t know?”
Unexpectedly, he asked, “Is it the year?” But the young knights don’t seem to know, so I think they just haven’t been able to find it. ”
Jang-san, do you know that there is a broken tree at the end of this finger?
Yeah.
There’s a little bit of a rock to the left from there, and there’s a bear chasing him.
“Nh?… maybe that little brown bear?”
“Yes, sir.”
Jang-san looked so close that he caught my finger that he was finally able to find the bear. The rookie knights seem to have found Jang about the same as or before him, so Jang’s eyesight may still be beginning to diminish.
“That sounds pretty big. Temma, if you can, I’d like to get these guys some experience, but if the material is wasteful, I can do the training… what should I do?”
“I’m not very interested in bear materials, so you can defeat them yourself.” The bear meat is not delicious at this time of year, and the fur is not very useful. Yeah, but I’d like to secure the gallbladder of a bear. That’s because it’s a medicine. ”
“Oh, it’s Temma who discovered it, so let’s give up the materials.” But instead, you have to think about how to defeat it. ”
This is how the contract came into being… I think that if there were five new knights, even if they fought from the front without much strategy, the odds would be very high. Well, with that in mind, Jang-san might have asked me to think of a safer way… but the plan I came up with wasn’t a big deal. And with such a small operation, the knights were able to defeat the bear without injury.
Something’s over so lightly than I thought, but is this the kind of bear that isn’t a monster?
“No, it was easy to catch me like an idiot, but of course it can fail, and in that case it’s not strange that there are dead people, so in the end, it’s because of the cooperation of the knights and their individual abilities.”
The plan I’ve come up with is incredibly simple, looking for somewhat open spaces, and putting the orc meat at the center of them. Four knights hid around it, and the remaining knights drew the bear’s attention and guided him to the bait. The knights who were hiding were distracted by the bait placed on the bear that was attracted to the cage, throwing spears and then defeating the bear with all of them.
The first spear seemed to stick in a good spot, which resulted in fatal injuries, and the subsequent knights attacked the bear lightly and desperately. However, it was not strange for the knights to be blamed because there was a danger that the bear would hit the bait without being caught by the bait if I made a mistake. However, even though it was a dangerous operation, the knights executed it because they explained in advance that the bear who was hungry at dawn was quite likely to be caught by the bait, and that in case it happened, me and Jean would stay close by. Besides, I didn’t have to go, but if I had to use magic to attack, it would be one of the reasons why I was moving so well that I could defeat it more safely and easily.
“The original flow will be the dismantling of the bear next time, but this time I won’t have to do it, so I’ll keep it like this.” However, if you are unable to bring it back by defeating it during your actual mission, please dismantle it and bury it in the soil or burn it. If there are predators like wolves around, it’s okay to leave them there, but be careful because if you’re not good enough, you could rot and become a plague or an undead. ”
After retrieving the bear, Jean and the others nodded with a serious expression to explain the treatment.
After that, I continued to investigate the forest and its surroundings, but I found no anomalies other than bears, and today’s survey was completed and I decided to camp. I also thought that the camping was a joke for Jean (the knights were more surprised than I was), but I had no choice but to obey the client’s agent, so I was going to reveal the night in the woods. Incidentally, we chose the camp because the rocks were just in time for the wind when we found the bear. Well, it smelled a little like a beast.
The camp of the day was not going well, but somehow I managed to get the night out safely. The rookie knights seemed to be new to full-blown camping, and the five of them seemed to be quite sleepy, but after being mixed up with Ms. Jean’s morning training, they seemed to have completely woken up.
“Temma, I will continue to investigate the forest and its surroundings today and return to the King’s City after noon.” It’s a little early to return, but I didn’t see any traces of any dangerous creatures other than yesterday’s bear, and they seem to be pretty tired from their first camp. ”
And, Mr. Jang proposed the early termination of the request. As for me, I have no complaints because I am a client, and on the contrary, I should welcome the fact that it ends early.
After breakfast, we resumed from where we had suspended the survey yesterday, and almost finished our survey of the forest and its surroundings before returning home after noon.
This is the end of the survey around this forest!
After Jan’s declaration, the investigation ended, and all that remained was to return to the capital. By the way, the horses that Jean and the others have been riding on have been in the Knights’ Dimension Bags all along the investigation. It seems that the difficulty of securing these dimensional bags is also an issue in the future.
“Jang-san, someone… a few knights on horses are coming towards us.”
“Are you serious?… I knew I could see it.” Temma, are you aiming for us? ”
“Maybe so, but it looks like we’re moving towards the area we were in charge of, rather than just finding us.”
Considering the exhaustion caused by the knights’ first camp, I went back a little slower than I wanted to, and aimed for the King’s City… but as I was about to see the King’s City, I received word from the Knights of the King’s City that they would cancel out the kindness of me and Jean.
“If that’s the case, then maybe something unexpected will happen to inform me, Temma, or both… Temma, lead the way to the knights.”
Jean didn’t say anything, but perhaps something troublesome happened. If it’s just Jang and the knights that you’re looking for, it might not be a big deal… but I’m pretty sure I have some business to attend to, but I’m pretty sure that something bad has happened.
Until we got closer to the knights who seemed to be looking for us, I was praying to God that the only knights who were coming for us were Mr. Jean and the new knights, but my prayers never reached God.
“Temma, I decided to head north.” I think I found a couple of ahhhhhh!
What’s the damage?
It seems that the bodies and dying bodies were discovered, but it cannot be said that there are no other living bodies in the vicinity.
As I ran the horse, I asked Jan about it, and he found a monster on the north side that hadn’t been found before.
It seems that there is no damage, but because it is necessary to investigate the area in detail again urgently, in order to form an extraordinary team, it is said that a command was issued to Mr. Jean, who is close enough to the location to be entrusted with the command of the team. Also, I’m a complete bonus. It was possible to refuse, but since the opponent was a monster, he wanted me to participate in the investigation if possible. However, I was told that I was on my way north of Leiden, and I couldn’t refuse it.
“Edgar! How’s it going?”
The person in charge of the team that was originally investigating this area was Mr. Edgar. He served as a temporary captain until Mr. Jean arrived, and after reuniting with Mr. Jean, he became a deputy captain.
“Ha! The body is already in the magic bag.” As for the monster that was dying, I tried to stop it, but it got rampant, so I took care of it. There are several people who were injured when we took care of them, but they are all minor injuries. ”
“Maybe I should have captured him alive, but even if he was weak, it would be safest to take care of him…”
“Jang-san, some of those monsters had regenerative powers close to Hydra, so I think it’s better to stop them. And perhaps Edgar regained his health from the time they discovered it to the time they stabbed him.”
“I see. Edgar, tell the knights to stop the monsters as soon as they find them.” Also, don’t try to do it alone, but do it vigilantly by multiple people. ”
Okay, got it.
Mr. Edgar saluted Mr. Jang and immediately went to convey the order to the knights.
“Temma, I’m going to give you a consulting role in this squad under my command.” If you want to get off this plane, you’ll have to do it now. ”
“No, I’ve been following you so far, and I’m going out with you a little longer.” If you’re going to “restrain me from going home for a week or two,” I’ll go home because it’s troublesome. ”
When I get here, I feel like dating until the end, but if I can’t go home, then it’s okay. At the very least, I would like you to ask me to come from home.
“It won’t take long. This investigation team is temporary. Once we’ve investigated the area, we’ll return to the Royal Castle. Well, after that, I might ask Temma to go through the guild, but at that time, thank you…”
Since it is a temporary investigation team, we can return to the capital tomorrow evening.
“Well then, I’ll ask you to join the meeting soon.” Your Honor. ”
Captain, I’m tired from camping, so you can talk to me later.
However, such farce did not apply to Jang-san, and the participants were not allowed to participate in the meeting (including me and Jang-san, but they did not reach ten people), and immediately after the meeting, they were assigned to the place in charge. Well, I basically stayed with Jean at the headquarters (the tent built at the rendezvous point) and rushed to the scene if I found anything.
“If you don’t have anything, you’re not saying you can sleep… right?”
“Yeah, until we find something, we know what Edgar found.”
It was said that this time it was combined with the autopsy of the body of the monster. Even though there was no resistance to the dissection of the goblin with the same human type, I felt a little sick just by saying that it was an ex-human… but the viscera was different from the human that I knew, so I quickly stopped thinking.
Temma, what do you think?
“Perhaps, but the heart and lungs have become enormous, even as the body has grown as in the case of Chaos.” The stomach seems to be getting a little bigger, but the rest doesn’t seem to have changed much… maybe it just got bigger for the battle. ”
If the heart grows bigger, the body will not survive the blood, and if the lungs grow bigger, it will be possible to act longer in a single breath. As for the stomach, it may be because it is necessary to eat a lot in order to maintain the condition, but there is no change in other digestive organs such as the intestine, so it may have happened to be large.
“I see… by the way, the viscera that the Sangha Duke family discovered in the past was as large as the human viscera as a whole, but the ratio was almost the same.”
It was the first time I heard of it, but at that time, I was not my son-in-law, and it would have been confidential in the first place, so I probably couldn’t tell the Sangha Duke.
So, what about the monster that Grandpa and I defeated?
“Ahh… it seems that the damage was too severe to be used as a reference.” It seems that only the individual who took the magic stone out of Temma’s alive state remained relatively in shape, but for some reason, the decay of the internal organs was too strong to be investigated in detail. ”
That was a bad thing… but there were still villagers around during the battle, so I want you to forget that it was an emergency.
“In the first place, I don’t know why my body gets so big all of a sudden, but it becomes a monster, so sometimes my heart and lungs get bigger by the time I change them. It’s more about where they came from and how they got here than about that.”
“It’s most likely that someone like Chaos came here in a human condition and died as a monster for some reason.”
“I guess so… but the question remains as to why I became a monster here.” I don’t want to imagine it, but it would have been worse if I had been a monster after I broke into the King’s City. ”
“It’s possible that it wasn’t meant to cause confusion, it was some kind of experiment. For example, whether a monster can act in the snow, or how far it can go.”
Like the experiments I did in Golem, this creature may have been used as an experiment by the creator.
So the experiment was a success at the time of Chaos, right?
“That might be a success story, but Chaos was pretty strong as soon as he turned into a monster, but over time it became weaker. It may be because I got injured, but I felt that my health was draining too much except for that. In contrast, the group of monsters that my grandfather and I subdued was inferior in strength to Chaos, but we have been acting for a long time since we became monsters. And I was eating by attacking livestock in order to restore my strength.”
“I see, surely if you ask that, you’ll think it’s an experiment.” Besides, I’m trying to create a lot of patterns… or maybe I’m trying to evolve them. ”
With a bad feeling, Mr. Edgar and the investigation team began to return, so they finished identifying the monsters.
Mr. Edgar’s report said he was able to spot some traces of the creature, but he didn’t know, except that it came from the east. They couldn’t find any other monsters.
This result did not change the next day, and we were able to return to the King’s City on the evening of the second day as planned.
