The GM Has Logged Into A Different World - Chapter 24
Several days after Sniper princess had been rescued and the fort was taken by the Saint Drag kingdom.
The fort was destroyed, brick by brick, and all of the Empires soldierswere murdered and chopped for food ration. Each limb was lightly salted and dried in open air to make meat jerkies.
In the Royal Room, there was King Roland and Prime Minister Albert and another one, a boy with white school uniform shirt and long trousers. (TL: common normal uniform)
On his waist were a red bokutou and a pin with the words BanchouHayato Kiryuu.(ED: A bokutou is a wooden sword and Banchou is Japanese gang leader)
Hayato, Theres a problem with our northern expedition. I know I just gave you a break, sorry for calling suddenly
I dont mind. I know that it must be important for you to summon me and I want to hear the story as well
The BanchouHayato bowed politely to respond to the Kings words.
He was a player from a VRMMO called Banchou Toshiwith the setting of student life and the player must reign the other player and be on the top.
He defeated and managed so many groups until he realized that the whole city was put under his banner.
As the head of the group, he was strong, and of course, tough.
He always got up straight back up, even after being beaten with a bat, even after being shot by a bullet, even after a car crashed into him. He always got up and sent fear to his enemies doing so eventually earning him respect as the head.
Its a VRMMO with chibi character so even though he was 180 cm tall, his body covers only half of his height. The ratio is 90 cm head and 90 cm body, including his torso and legs. Its a miracle that he didnt fall on his own weig- nah Im just messing with you. Stop stealing my f-ing translation!!
Banchou Toshi has stats such as strength, agility, and stamina and the one Hayato specializes is in Stamina and Defense. His build focuses more on defense than agility.
His true merits are in his battle endurance and his exceptional leadership.
There was once a massive 40-hour raid due to a bug, it was impossible to fight without falling asleep. There was one single player who managed to protect his turf by going around the leaders of the other groups and giving instructions.
After that, he was taking a break from playing for a day but it was enough for the other player to call him Real Cheater. (TL: Riaru Chiito either they are calling him a cheater for being able to play 40 hours straight or calling him traitor for taking a break and enjoying real world)
But he really disappeared.
His disappearance really shocked a lot of his subordinates, some people even tried to look for him IRL.
They were informed by an acquaintance who knows him in real life that he really disappeared and stopped the investigation.
It was another case of the urban legend that Jirou told.
The truth is that he was called into this world and fighting as the general of Saint Drag Kingdom.He left his 3 months old imouto back in his original home so she probably died because his brother had gone missing and no one at home would feed her.
This time, Im calling everyone available. Its about Masaki
Currently, the whole city treated Masaki as a hero.
Their voices cant be ignored by the nobles and local authorities.
It affected the play titled Hero of Blue Sea and Crimson Princess Knight as well.
The sequel is being planned as of now.
People are hungry for entertainment in these dark times. I feel bad for Masaki, but I want him to open the theatre
Which he gave an OK reluctantly. It was such a big boom that the influence is starting to spread to other cities.
Ther
e was a report from Jirou. He used an ability to become invisible and flew in the sky. He also rescued the Sniper Princess and her sister.
Rescue He can break the slavery collar?
The King nodded to Hayatos question, answering his question.
Its the norm to not release the slavery collar without the key. Trying to do so will result in the death of the wearer.
Masaki has the magic item called Thieves Kings Wire. It would be impossible to rescue them without it
Then we can
Umuu We can save the other enslaved people from being used by the Empire
However, your Majesty. I think Masaki-dono might be hiding some kind of terrible power from us. With his ability that can even beat Leviathan can we keep that kind of person in check in our country?
Albert, who was watching the whole conversation, tried to cut in.
His words had a point. Theres a need to keep the otherworlders in check.
To be able to beat Leviathan, who could level the whole continent if being serious, Masaki had proved that hes a reliable ally. But if he decided to be their enemy now thats something shuddering.
Albert, You can rest assured. For that purpose, I ordered Earl Allan to pass my dear brothers mansion to Adelhide. Adelhide seemed to like it as well
And by doing that, youre tying him to the royal family and preventing him from being swayed by the other kingdoms Its business as always, Your Majesty
Hayato smiled bitterly at King Rolands big grin.
It was one of the countrys lip service. If a strong reliable person appeared, he will do all his best to contain them in his country.
He even used his own distant relative as a bargaining chip.
Assuming Masaki hadnt rescued Adelhide, the King would use Princess Hildegarde instead, since she will be 14 years old soon.
If Masaki refused, maybe because hes a loli hunter, the King would offer princess Ahmad instead, since shes still 8 years old. Just in case that Masaki swings that way, the King will force prince Leon instead.
So you can rest assured. Even though Masaki is strong, he seemed to rely on us as his sponsor. Besides, as strong as he is, I dont think he has the desire to commit such a useless massacre. We are not doing such outrageous deed
I kind of feeling sorry for the Empire. Imprisoning him without knowing his hidden strength, losing the majority of their fleet while trying to prevent his escape, and they became his enemy. Even though I lost my sympathy when I remembered their aggression
Everyone nodded to Hayatos remark.
Even though they cant deny the Empires rotten luck.
Up until now, they were using underhanded methods to expand their empire. Even to the point of using people as tools.
That results in Masaki being turned from being a big war potential into an enemy.
Since we were able to take over that fort, is the Grand Plains our next
Umuu I heard the rumors of Empires troops gathering. According to the information brought by the sister of Sniper Princess, it seemed that the town Raafu, which was ahead of the Great Plains, was responsible for producing 40% of the Empires food rations.
40 percent!? How is that poss(TL: Either 4% or 40%. But technically, even 4% of the whole country food ration is still a lot)
Normally, countries will put a little tax on various towns and villages and stockpiles them together. However, to gather 40% of food rations from a single location surprise even Albert, the Prime Minister.
The reason for that is Apparently, it was that older sisters ability that makes crops that can be harvested in a month. Its safe to say that Masaki just hit a jackpot
Not only the Sniper Princess but the one who produced food for their army, no wonder the Empire is so desperate
And the next plan
Well We are going to take Raafu. And Hayato, Ill have you go as soon as your vacation ended. I apologize for asking young people to go to such a dangerous mission
I still owe you a big favor for picking me up. Besides, Im fine with going. Its within my power to create peace for the people, so I dont really mind
Hayato gave a gentle smile to the worrying King.
But the ones on the battlefield know the truth about the usual gentle looking Hayato.
To his enemies on the battlefield, he fights like a fiendish beast.
About the same time in the Empire.
A heavy atmosphere was filling the strategy room where the generals were gathering. Suddenly a knock was heard.
Enter
The emperor allowed the person to enter.
The messenger opened the door and although he was clearly intimidated by the heavy atmosphere, but he must report the news.
Reporting Just now we have gotten confirmation Raafus northeast fortress had fallen to the enemies. The Sniper Princess and the Farmers whereabouts are currently unknown. There are some theories that they were murdered or caught
He didnt want to believe it and sighed deeply after receiving the report.
Is that so Return to your post
Yes sire!
And so the messenger left the room,
trying to escape as fast as he could. Being the only common soldier in that room would certainly drive anyone crazy.
Damn it! Those pesky northern barbarians! To think that they dare to attack us directly they deserve a thousand death!
General Barry rammed his fist onto the rectangular table in hatred.
It was the general who was visited Masaki before.
You can say whatever you wish. But what about the reality? I dont know how they took over the fort, but they seemed to found a way. This is just like that time when
Just like when the enslavement failed on that person. I dont know how he managed to escape, but he managed to escape without being detected at all. And he even destroyed our fleet It felt like the same just like that time
You should offer your head immediately and make yourself useful for once, you garbage otherworlder!
Oi, dont badmouth your own allies. Its not easy being dragged into someone elses problem
What! How dare you!
It was just the other day that I was promoted to the rank of Earl. In other words, I outranked you, Viscount Barry-dono. Remember your position
You!
Silence!
The general with massive spear shot a glare at the two, it was terrifying and silenced them.
Its not the time for an internal struggle. Raafu might be attacked very soon
That will cause the decline of our Empires food rations we have to stop them at all cost!
To which extent we are going to recruit soldiers from the vicinity, gibushou?(TL: Gi Bushou it means general something. JParser cant give me anything good for a name. Someone suggest me something please)
50 thousand from Raafu, 200 thousand from the northern Raafu, 500 thousand from the southern Raafu, and 100 thousand from the western Raafu. However, the west is still fighting so we need to send some reinforcement. Its all because we accidentally laid hands on a demon. Should we ask for a temporary ceasefire? If we involve Great Admiral like back then, we might even able to bring out about 10000 prisoners
(TL: this line is confusing )
The man with the rankGiBushou told them plainly without looking.
The man judged that they cant underestimate the Kingdoms current strength. Even his enemies will fight like demonic barbarians, he will still rally his knights in brimming confidence.
Trying to attract attention, Viscount Barry tried to add something to the conversation.
If our Great Empire was serious, those demonic barbarians will
Arent we serious enough already? I dont need your lip-service nonsense! Your neck will fly the next time you fail! Now leave!!!
yYes sir!
An angry voice flew from the Emperor after Viscount Barrys excuse, he tried to be as small as possible as he got out of the room.
If he fails, he dies.
That is the only thing that fills his head.
How about returning some of the prisoners of war as the condition of the temporary ceasefire? Should we provide some supplies as well?
That is assuming that they would accept the offer. Do it only if you have to
(TL: Im not sure the accuracy for these parts)
The man responded sloppily after hearing Gibushous order.
He also acts like that towards the emperor. However, his strength is mortifying.
He has a good leadership skill.
That is the reason he was promoted asan Earl.
(TL: End of not-sure-ness)
However, the problem is how to deal with them. The kingdom now has the Banchou, theShinobi Chief, and now the Sniper Princess and the Farmer as well. And also that troublesome escapee. We dont have a stupidly powerful magic that can obliterate the entire town, to be honest
About the countermeasure, gibushou. Please allow us to bring the Hunter and Dreadnought into the battle(TL: Chougoukin is probably our super Mecha, ladies and gentlemen. Ill translate it as Dreadnought because it sounds cooler)
I understand. Ill leave Raafu to you
He gave a big nod, stood up, and gave the emperor a big hand wave casually.
Hes the type who was strong at fights but weak in the head.
Acting violently. But his strength is comparable to 1 thousand men. He can even obliterate a small countrys knight orders alone.
And thus the gibushou went away and the war council against the Kingdom begun.
Right now, the thought about all his success, respect, and achievement would be reduced into nothingness weights the Generals mind.
What do I do!? What do I do!? this way, my dream of marrying the princess and becoming the emperor will be
Inside the room, Barry was flipping the table in anger.
His condition was shouldnt be made light of.
but what should I do
But still, he must think. He has to do something or his neck will be gone.
Suddenly, a figure appeared before him.
I have a good plaan~
Who are you!?
No one was supposed to be in his room.
but this man in front of him. His face was covered with a robe so it cant be seen.
But he didnt notice him before. so he assumed that he just didnt see him because of the darkness.
Of course, he wouldnt notice something his brain wouldnt recognize.
Does it even matters? You wish for the power to do something. Isnt that right?
Yeah exactly! Those damn otherworlders! They even managed to corner me! ME!
Do you wish for power like those otherworlders?
What? Is is that even possible?
Of couuurse~ Of course it is. Well shall I bestow you the power that transcends the world, the power of God of Drugs? Everything will be fine as long as you have this power(TL: Either god of medicine or drugs. Since hes an antagonist character, probably drugs)
He cant decide if the robed figure was man or woman. The robed figure gave him a paper wrapper.
ooooooh! A-as long as I have this!
Let me prepare the stage for you. The instructions were available there. You will be regarded as the Hero
Hero m-me haha I can hero!!
Then Ill leave it to you, Barry the Hero
Aa! Yes! I understand! Wahahahahahahahhaha!
Viscount Barry shifted his attention to the drugs and didnt notice the robed figures disappearance.
Theres no trance of opening from the door or the window.
There are desks, books, sofas, and many other pieces of furniture.
Barry laughs and drunk on the title Hero.
Meanwhile, a decorative plant in the room slowly jolting as if mocking him.
The foolish seed has been planted. Well, let the game begin
said certain someone from the distance.
