87 Episode 87 "I tried to complain a little about the working environment in another world.".txt (1/2)

I ...... would have used the right tactics, but ...... why?

In the Mist of Deception that flooded out of the valley, Countess Carmina murmured in a daze.

I just chose the most efficient way to get results.

So how did it come to this?

...... all backhanded. Free the slaves(which) ...... to stop us from stranding ourselves.

Carmina's body begins to tremble.

Is this enemy ...... really a messenger of the heavenly dragon?

Or is it a devilish schemer who has read our thoughts and made the first move .......

''It's about time.''

I had Raphilia's Dragon Seed Whirlwind LV1 and Iris's Illusory Space LV1 unlocked.

The fog that flooded out of the valley enveloped the countess and her soldiers. That's enough.

The Countess had originally planned to capture the valley, so she has no complaints about being wrapped up in the fog. I don't know if there is.

”We warned her.

I knew it was impossible for me to pretend to be a transcendent being like a dragon.

You don't have any dignity, do you?

Sorry, ”Tenryu no Tamago”.

I borrowed the Tenryu-like appearance and the name Tenryu, but it didn't work as well as I thought it would: .......

''It can't be helped. Let's go scare them directly. It's a pain in the ass, but come with me. Cecil, Iris, and Rafilia.

Yes. Nagi-sama.” ”Hello, my dear.” ”Hello.

The girls connected by the magical thread and I went into the Mysterious Mist.

The effect of the Tenryu no Tamashii no Tamashii is to nullify the fog.

We can see the soldiers clearly.

So... Time to finish up.

Let's pay attention to whoever's got the slaves working in black...

Hi. ────────────────────

Carmina screamed.

She held her head and winced. She still couldn't take her eyes off her surroundings.

She couldn't believe everything she saw, heard and felt.

My vision was blank. My feet should be stepping on the ground, but even that feeling is blurred.

I was afraid to walk or change my position.

I didn't know. I didn't realize. I didn't know what I was doing.

This is what it means to lose your five senses.

”GIGIGAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Next to her, a zombified ogre wields a sword.

Is that ”Grandfather”?

Then what's this nasal rotten smell?

What about that lizardman?　Salamander?　Human?

Enemies and allies are mingling and fighting each other. In the first place, we no longer know who is the enemy and who is on our side. The only thing that can be heard is the screams of the beasts. Perhaps Carmina's screams also sound like that.

''This, the best tactic in this case is...''

Nothing came to mind.

My mind was blank.

'GUGOAAAAAAAAA!'

I could see the sword wielded by the zombified ogre being swept away by someone else.

Something flying from out of the fog sticks to the fallen ogre, sticky.

The ogre rolls around, holding his face. What flew in?

HIIIIIIAAAAAAA!

The one who defeated the ogre was a monster with twisted horns - a demon god.

It has green wings on its back. The area around his belly is bulging with silver. The left arm is strangely thick, perhaps because it has that much muscle.

''HIIIA, AAA.''

The Demon God holds out something from his hand. Carmina couldn't help but reach for it.

Something soft. It doesn't look like that. Dried meat?

Activate the ”Food Negotiation, Level 1”.

............ Are you here, Countess Carmina-Rigilta?

Reflexively, as Carmina accepted the dried meat, she heard a human voice.

It was a reassuring voice.

Because of the ”Mist of Deception”, he has the appearance of a demon god, but this person is a human being - an ally.

It is very Carmina Rigilta. I'm glad you found me.

'Are you sure it's the young lady?　Really?

Yes, sir. Get me out of here now. I promise you all the rewards you can get. Do you prefer the rank of soldier-in-chief?　No, I'll tell you what, when you get me out of here...

I won't help you.

In a horribly cold voice, someone in the form of a demon god (...) said

Snap!

Something in the shape of a sword touched Carmina's neck.

”You will swear here and now that you will never again persecute a slave or a subordinate, and I will allow you to leave. If you do so, I will allow you to leave this place, or it will end here. Otherwise, you are finished here.

Carmina's face turns pale.

The demon god in front of me is that figure at the entrance of the valley. It's Carmina's enemy.

''I──where did I go wrong?''

Carmina found herself running her mouth.

'There was no mistake in my plan. Why am I doing this to myself?　Why did Carmina-Rigilta, the daughter of your great father, have to die here!

'You tried to make your slaves disposable. So you made a mistake.

The demon god's arm dug into Carmina's skin.

'You didn't move from your safe place until the end. That's why you didn't realize that you were facing an opponent you were no match for. That's all.

Why can't we sacrifice our slaves?　They're there to be used!

...... You don't know what I'm talking about. It's a pain in the ass.

Huh, and the sign of a demon god sighing.

I have warned you. I have warned you that this valley is finished and will soon collapse. You heard the rumblings. You knew it was dangerous. You knew it was dangerous, and you could have at least watched for a while. You still would have sent a slave into the danger zone. All you had to do was wait for a moment. Isn't it?

Ugh. ......

'It was the mercy of the Heavenly Dragon that told me to leave. No one's blood is shed to sleep quietly .......

For not obeying those words. I will punish you for trying to make people disposable.

'Contract'. Carmina-Rigilta.

The fiery gaze of the Demon God pierced Carmina as the 'Mist of Deception' rose up.

''...... 'Contract'?'''

Too cheap a 'deal' to trade your life for it, though.

The demon god seemed to laugh, with his mouth wide open.

Carmina's legs began to shake as she struggled to get up.

It must be the fog that makes her underwear feel wet. It must be.

'The terms of the agreement are as follows.

'You will leave and swear that you will never again persecute slaves or your men. ”And you will pay the freed slaves the proper compensation as a safety net. Do so, and we will let you off the hook.'

...... Is that all you have to do?

'Then I will add one more thing. 'If you violate this contract, you will instantly remember the horror you just experienced.'

”Okay, okay. ”Contract.

After thinking for a moment, Carmina nodded.

For her part, she had never tormented her men or her slaves.

It's just that she gave them the job they deserve. You will be able to find out more about this by visiting our website.

”The 'deal' then. I'm going to let you off the hook right here.

'Wow, I will not harm or persecute my men or slaves. And I will pay you!　I'll pay!

”'Contracts'

The girl and the Demon God clicked and struck the medallion.

So the Demon God also has a medallion.

Frightened, Carmina was thinking about that.

'Come to think of it, ...... you ate some dried meat.

Only after being told, did Carmina notice the salty taste that lingered in her mouth.

She must have been hungry from fear.

Before she knew it, she had eaten the dried meat that the demon god offered her.

''Then the 'life bargain' will be concluded. In addition, I want to ask you about the black-haired boy who was with the prince. Who sent him?　The king?　Guildmaster?

How could you do that?　I'm being threatened?　There's no need to tell me that you're with Lord Kravis, or that you're a wise man, or even that you were sent by the king!

Oh, you're the one who came through the King.

Carmina involuntarily held her mouth.

Why did I do this to myself?

What am I doing now?

It was as if my mouth moved on its own. Something seeped into my body from the ”dried meat” that had become part of me after I chewed and swallowed it, and it pushed me forward. I can only assume so.

'I'll ask you one more thing.'

...... Ugh, oh. Oh, hi.

'You attacked the 'one who calls himself the Heavenly Dragon'. Was it because you thought we were fakes, or did you think it was okay to be real?

Yeah, that's ......

'Both sea dragons and heavenly dragons are on the side of humans and demi-humans. But it seems that there are those who want to get rid of them. Don't you know something about this?
