Chapter 171 – Why Orcs Moved…! #3
For the next two days, I focused on organizing the dungeon system. Allocation of work and scheduling. There is a working indicator light.
All of them were done under the single-mindedness of properly maintaining the system and operating the dungeon efficiently.
Well, it will take more time, but for now, this is enough. Originally, the system is not something that can be completed in a matter of days.
Anyway, after I’ve got a rough frame.
“Let’s go.”
Took part in the competition.
What Buril told us is nothing more than a suspicion. It was just a simple statement that monsters were coming this way. But for me living here, this is something I have to think about very seriously.
In other words, I’m Young Giving. This area is my domain. If something suspicious happened in the manor, he had to go and check it out.
It’s not like a fucking angel again, is it? I hope not. An angel came out, but the fact that the mob is running away means that it is really an unsealed angel.
ㅡChuck and chuck.
This time, the subordinates were fully armed with a platoon of goblins and a squad of pixies. And a squad of imps and Sharan. Vanessa. Liriel. It’s ruby
This could be said to be an appropriate line.
Vanessa fights well, and Ruby is a research mage. Since I recruited him, I haven’t seen any particular ability, so I’ll take this opportunity to take a look. Lyriel just brought her what she did because she could possibly be an angel.
“Char.”
And Sharan is my reliable bodyguard.
The current dungeon is Serinyu and Lumica. Imsungi. And the nuns and remaining pixies, imps, and kobolds are guarding it. That’s enough. I told you to be as careful as possible, so it won’t be a big deal.
There are also Hobgoblins, but even if they rebel, they can’t deal with the remnants. Reika is good at fighting too. Serinyu and Lumica are there, so don’t worry.
“Buril. If you see something on the way, report it right away.”
“Keruk. I understand, Mr. Meong.”
I am used to marching now. We continued our march toward what had been the Orcs’ sweet home.
There was nothing special about the trip.
“I don’t see any monsters in particular. I think it’s overly worrying.”
Vanessa, standing next to her, said that.
“Maybe. But we need to check. If there’s something, we need to find out so we can take a countermeasure.”
“…You’re sincere.”
“It’s a world where you have to be sincere to live.”
Vanessa stared at me.
“Isn’t it just my life at stake? Not only my lovely subordinates, but also my bodyguards. And even Vanessa’s life is at stake. As the monarch, I must thoroughly prepare to save everyone’s lives.”
“Yes.”
With that said, Vanessa averted his gaze, blushing.
“Why is that?”
“Boo, subordinates seem to be doing the right thing.”
“Of course I have to do it properly. Even if they are subordinates, they are my family members. Where in the world is anyone who puts their family members in danger?”
“…Family.”
Vanessa seemed to understand what he said.
“Really… Even human commanders wouldn’t think of their subordinates that much…”
“No. Still, aren’t they all as good as me?”
“…”
Vanessa shook his head.
“You bastard. I thought you were just an evil being… But the more I look at it, the more it doesn’t seem like it. You’re a really unique demon.”
“Ohhh! Did you finally recognize my true worth!”
Even though Vanessa had been abused by me, she was now fully following me!
“Noisy! Even though I’ve seen it again, it doesn’t change the fact that you are a malicious being who rapes women and girls!”
“That too.”
Actually, that’s a fact.
Still, Vanessa seemed to be trying to think positively of me, so he told me a little more about what I thought.
“But what should I do? I have to do it to protect my family. Isn’t it the fastest way to build strength with it?”
“Even if it’s a little slow, you can choose another path! Honor is inherently like that…!”
“No.”
“No way!”
“If I do that, my family will be in danger. So, absolutely no way.”
“Kuu…!”
“Growing up for the sake of my family. That is my honor. I would do anything evil to protect my subordinates.”
“…”
At that point, Vanessa closed her mouth. It’s a face that doesn’t understand. Still, he feels the stares on me, so he’s not too aggressive.
“…Okay. If that’s your conviction, I have nothing to say.”
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Reika fell for me completely, and now it’s Vanessa’s turn to do the same. In the first place, since he is living with me and mixing his body, there is no choice but to develop a liking for him naturally.
Either Rayka or Vanessa. Seeing how I treat her subordinates like family members, she is quite confused. The reason I’m confused is because I see that as a good thing.
That’s how you will gradually see me as good.
Well, like that, we continued marching.
Haha.”
As she is walking, Ruby seems to be lagging a bit, so she goes beside him.
“Ruby-sama. Are you having a hard time?”
“Yes? Oh, no. No…”
Still a timid wizard, Ruby.
“Ruby.”
“Are you okay?!”
She put her hand on her shoulder, and she blushed in surprise. What a cute
“Your reaction is so cute.”
“Ears, ears, ears, how cute…”
Just one toss of these words makes her heart beat faster as she visibly feels embarrassed. I mean she’s a real easy girl. Anyway. Let’s have a little conversation.
“Anyway, Ruby-sama. Do you have any particular guesses? Like the reason the monsters ran away. Since it’s a research job, I think you know a lot.”
“That, that’s… This unexplored territory hasn’t been explored that much… So I can’t really say…”
“Then can you tell me a little about the Wilderness?”
“If you know…”
Ruby began her explanation.
Still, it’s probably because he’s a wizard, so when he explains something, he’s in a state where he’s talking clearly.
“Hmm.”
Jungle-like terrain with rugged mountains. Monsters that leave me. There is something to be gained by coming, but it seems that this unexplored area is not a place to develop in earnest.
It would cost a lot to develop such an outrageous place, but even if it was developed, it was unclear how much return would be made. Even so, a place where you can get rare materials by exploring once.
The perception of the wizards living in this region was like that.
“Well, it’s rough ground.”
It’s fucking land.
It’s okay because I’m a demon.
“It’s very rough… So there’s a lot to study… That’s good.”
Hehe, is that so?”
“Yes…”
Ruby seemed interested in such a place. He chimes in, which I really like.
“Ah, by the way, Mr. Ruby. Is there any progress in black magic?”
“Ah… Yes… I think it’s fine.”
As originally a wizard, Ruby was very well versed in offensive black magic. Maybe the magic power is the strongest ruby?
“I can’t use the magic I used to use, right?”
“Yeah… But I didn’t use it well in the first place… Rather, it’s better now.”
Hehe, is that enough?”
Rather, he had accepted my magic and developed his talent for black magic. Oh, by the way, there was something related to the undead in the black magic book.
Shall we teach you next time?
“Ruby-sama, do you know anything more about the angel rumors?”
“Um, that’s all I told you the other day… I’ve heard it all through rumors too… I’m sorry. I don’t know anything…”
“No. Ah. But where did you hear the rumor?”
“Eh, in the Magic Tower…”
Mage tower?
As I was about to ask, Vanessa interrupted.
“If you go to the west of the Baron Territory, there is a small magic tower. He said he was from there.”
“Yes…”
“I came here for research purposes.”
“No, that’s right…”
Ruby is a monster or plant. Well, I came here to write something like a personal thesis about ecology or efficacy, and then I applied because searchers were looking for a wizard, so I went in.
What’s going on with this
“Ruby-sama. Please tell me about the rumors again.”
“Yes…”
Ruby nodded and explained again.
“It’s a rumor circulating in the Mage Tower. It’s a rumor that an angel from the Goddess Church appeared in the capital… I heard it before coming to the Baron’s Territory. Ah, but it’s not that old a rumor… That, but there’s a Goddess Bureau not far from the capital. I was told there might be an announcement soon…”
To recap the story:
“Hmm.”
Rumor has it that an angel appeared in the capital.
People think that angel is an angel of the Goddess Church. Even the nuns of the Goddess Church, Reika and Irene, saw Liriel and thought she was a real angel.
The angels described in the Goddess Church and the angels in the Great Heaven are similar. Anyway, this Goddess is a fairly major religion, so it has a state like the Vatican.
Goddess Nation is a religious country that can be called a neutral country.
It is ruled by a goddess-worshipping empress, and she is said to have some kind of saint. If an angel had descended, he would of course go to this place, and if the Goddess Bureau and angels contacted each other, they would make a grand announcement sooner or later.
Well, it’s such a rumor that the truth is still unclear.
“It’s not good either.”
It means that angels are likely to join hands with religious nations as well as human kingdoms. An angel who joined hands with a middle school country? A real bummer.
“Uh, it’s just a rumor… I doubt if an angel really appeared…”
“You’re right next to me.”
When I pointed at Liriel, who was walking from behind with her face in pain, Liriel came over and said to Ruby.
“Are you saying you doubt the existence of the Great Heavenly Hall and me? You can’t see me in your inferior eyes!”
“Oh, no! It’s not like that! Lord Ririel…!”
Crush your successor in front of me?
“Me, me!”
Vanessa, too, cannot hold back her anger and tries to step out. The atmosphere in the women’s quarters is generally like this, she says. Ririel goes to do laundry every day while getting pampered. And Liriel asked Ruby why she didn’t do the laundry and she craved it. Also, she gets beaten up by Reika because her cravings are discovered.
It’s shit, shit.
“Vanessa, cut it quickly.”
“I get it!”
Immediately, Vanessa tugged on Ririel’s ear.
“Oops!”
“If you continue to bully Ruby, I’ll notify Reika, Liriel! I’m living with you, but will you continue to do that as an angel!”
“Kuu…! If that’s the case, then I have something to say too! Don’t you always make me do the laundry!”
“It’s all because you bully Ruby, Liriel!”
I see you laughing.
“Whoa.”
Think while walking
“I wish I could find out more about this rumor.”
As long as you’re stuck in this jungle, the information you can get is really limited. If I could transform, I would go and dig for information myself. Can’t that be done yet?
Oh, and the distance is great too. I don’t know what will happen during the time I go back and forth, so what can I do?
It’s too bad.
The demons opened the door to the dimension and sent me out, but isn’t there such a thing? If there was a magic like warp gate, it would be convenient.
Or, it would be nice to have a spy that collects information. A spy who went to the human world on my orders collects information and returns. Should I kidnap a woman, brainwash her, and raise her like a spy?
I desperately need an informant to the extent that I have this idea.
Anyway.
We marched on and on.
“Damnim. Keruk! We’ve arrived at the Orc tribe!”
“Uh. Yes.”
Arrived at the Orc Tribe.
* *
The Orc tribe was completely crushed. Humans destroyed them all and burned them with fire. All that remains is the bone fragments of burnt orcs. There was nothing to look for, so we set up a makeshift camp here and spent the day.
And the next day.
Marching further afield. I don’t know, but if there is something, it will come out if I go farther. If the Orc tribe decided to move, they wouldn’t move clumsily. Definitely go farther.
Since he was continuing his search like that, he was able to see quite a variety of monsters. There are definitely a lot of monsters on this side.
“Keruk! Keruk!”
“Gyusassat!”
Not only that, but I could also observe goblins and kobolds fighting.
“Keruk? My dear. What are those bastards?”
“I know.”
The goblins and kobolds who were pushed out of the territorial battle… Pushed to this side, are they fighting for territories to live with each other this time?
I guessed that, but it seems to have gone a little far.
“Burilla. Cut them both. Beat them up and tie them up.”
“Keruk! Shall we make a successor!”
Hehe, yes! As a bonus, Gyuil brought a gift!”
“Kerrureuk! I understand!”
ㅡKeryaaaaagh!
Well, there was such a small commotion, but they were easily subdued and made into subordinates.
So marching again.
“Char? Maang? It’s a strange trace.”
This time, Sharan told me if he had found anything. I immediately looked in the direction Sharan was pointing at.
“Well?”
What is this?
“What is this? Vanessa? Ruby. No. Everyone come. Do you know what these traces are?”
Just ask my subordinates.
“…I don’t know.”
The response was that they did not know everything.
“Kerukkereuk. I don’t know.”
“Ruby-sama? Ruby-sama?”
“Uh, uhm… Me too… Ah, but it looks like a trace of a snake crawling…”
Snake?
I saw the trail again.
It definitely looks like a sign that something like a snake crawled on it. Those traces stretch all the way there.
“But it’s a bit big, isn’t it?”
What kind of anaconda?
It is a large trace, as if an anaconda crawled on it. Feeling like a plump, fleshy snake crawling around.
“Could it be a big snake?”
Did a big snake-like monster appear?
Is that why everyone ran away?
I’m sure I’ll have to run away when a big fucking snake appears.
