21 Visit of the brave (2/2)

But the Elysian gods don't seem to be doing anything. The only one who moves is Raina.

It's not right that the gods of this world don't act on the problems of this world and we risk our lives.

That's why I'm opposed to fighting Dihardt.

But Rage will do what Raina asks. If Rage moves, the other girls, including me, will have to move, and eventually it will be a fight.

All I could do was delay the action at best. If it were true, we could have come to the Kingdom of Roxx much sooner.

I was deliberately delaying it to avoid a fight with Dihardt. But we ended up arriving in time.

Where is Dihardt now?

Do you think Dihardt is already here?

I look around and ask everyone.

'I don't know, as expected. I concentrated on searching for it, but I didn't find anyone who looked like a dark knight. I didn't see anyone who looked like a dark knight.

Nao says. They've searched for him with object detection while he was coming here, but he doesn't seem to be within a two kilometer radius. It's possible that he's hiding behind a ward, but it's hard to imagine someone that strong hiding. Have they come to this kingdom yet?

'I'd understand if you turned on the hostility: ......'

Syrone says. Sirone, Kaya and Nao can use enemy sensing, but if the other side doesn't turn on them, there's no way to detect them.

Dihardt didn't respond to Sirone's enemy detection, even though he was fighting with Sirone. I suppose Sirone is not even an enemy. What a guy.

Come to think of it, the only person that Dihardt cut down was Rage. It's possible that he only considers Rage as an enemy.

But that Rage couldn't use enemy sensing. I'm not going to be able to get it right. In a way, this is just like Rage.

It's not a matter of whether men in the original world turned on him so much. I'm sure it's not necessary to use enemy detection for the normal rage that is always directed at you.

”Shall we explore this area?

Nao suggests.

'No, I don't think we need to do that. I don't want to poke around in the bushes badly. Besides, if Dihardt has come to get the horns, this bell should let us know.

I'll take out the bell. Besides, don't bother being proactive.

Yeah, we're in spa land. Let's just relax.

Rage says brightly.

'I agree with you about that. It's a hot spring, let's enjoy it.

I feel like it's been a while since I've had an opinion with Rage.

Rage almost died, couldn't go home, was made to dress in a strange outfit, and other unpleasant things. I want to change my mind around here.

Since we are in a country with hot springs, let's just relax.

We decided to end the meeting and enjoy the hot springs.

Knight Lember of Roxx Kingdom

We're enough to protect the heroes. I want you to patrol the streets to see if there are any people who want to avenge our heroes.

That's what the temple knight said to me when I went to escort the brave men.

Some of the selected freedom fighters were indignant at that temple knight's rude words.

I didn't have such an escort last time, so I gathered some trustworthy ones in a short time, but it seems that the effort was in vain.

''I'm sorry. We got you together for a long time. ......''

I apologize to everyone who has gathered here.

''It can't be helped, with that famous temple knight as a guard, there's no way we can do anything about it.

Gallios comforts me.

'Well, it can't be helped, Lord Rember. Sometimes all that effort doesn't bear fruit.'

Black doesn't seem to be particularly bothered by it either.

Naturally, some of the gathered freedom fighters are angry, but Gallios has convinced them to do so.

Besides, it's true that no matter how angry they are, there's nothing they can do about it.

The Temple Knights of the St. Renaria Republic are the strongest in the eastern part of the continent. Twenty of those knights are here, there is no room for someone like me.

We'll just have to do what the temple knights say and make the rounds.

I felt a little shameful.

Why do I have to feel this way?

I thought I was out of luck. Originally, unlike the other knights, my work was supposed to end the day before the festival. During the festival, I was supposed to be a reservist who would be sent out in the event of a problem.

That's why he had to escort the brave men who came unexpectedly. There were too many other sudden problems, such as zombies, etc.

In fact, he was supposed to enjoy the festival with Alumina during the festival. It's a good thing that you're not going to have any problems, so there shouldn't be any problems.

But that Alumina has to be a guide for the heroes, so she can't be with them during the festival. It's a step and a kick.

We don't need that many people to patrol, so we disbanded the freedom fighters as well.

Only Gallios and Black are left.

”I'll go with Lember on his rounds, but what about you, Black?

Gallios asks Black.

'I'll take a look around myself. And if there are no problems, I'll visit the festival.

Unlike the other freedom fighters, Gallios and Black are willing to help, and when I thanked them both, they laughed and said it wasn't a big deal.

'Yes, Black. ─ Yes, Black, when you're done with your rounds, why don't you try to hook a girl who comes to our country?

Suddenly Gallios proceeds to ask a woman to come to Black.

Lots of prostitutes come to this country for the tourists. That's what Gallios wants you to do, he says.

It is not very likely that Black would do such a thing, but if he saw the women the brave man brought, he might want to do such a thing.

Because of that sight of the women the brave man had brought with him, that kind of shop in this country would be in full swing right now. It's a good idea to have a few of these men in your life.

And I thought it was necessary to make sure that no harm came to ordinary civilian women.

'Well, I'll try my best.

Black says with a bitter smile.

From Black's tone, it seems he took Gallios' words as a joke. However, Gallios may be serious.

Black just walks away. He must have gone on his rounds as I said.

'If all goes well, take him to his room, I'll tell Penelore.

Gallios calls to Black's back. Black waves his hand backwards.

'Well, I guess I'll go too. Oh well, what are we going to do about the zombies?

He must be referring to last night's zombie fiasco.

''Alumina is supposed to help us out, Brave Master. And if we're dealing with Striges, I'm sure the heroes aren't uninvolved.

There is a demon called Striges.

Its appearance is a cross between a bird and a human woman.

It resembles the Harpies of the Central Mountains and the Sirens of the southern seas.

The difference is that the Harpies have the wings of eagles and the Sirens have the wings of seabirds, while Striges has the wings of an owl.

Striges is nocturnal, perhaps due to its appearance as a cross between an owl and a human female.

But that's not the only danger. The fear of Striges lies in the place where they suck human blood. They are also skilled in necromancy, a characteristic of their race.

At some point in time, the Striges built a tower and settled near the kingdom of Roxx.

The Striges' family had built a tower near the kingdom of Rox, and many people from the surrounding countries were killed by the Striges. The same is true here in the Kingdom of Rox.

The walls were useless and unprotected against the winged women who took to the skies.

They cannot move during the day, so if they are to be defeated, they must face them in the daytime. However, Striges was holed up in the tower during the day, and even when they entered, they were blocked by traps and undead that they had summoned, so defeating them was not going to work.

I'm not sure if it's fortunate or not, but Striges didn't intend to destroy the humans who were his bait and didn't want the surrounding countries to die. But that didn't change the fact that there would still be casualties.

The situation had changed less than a month ago. One of the Striges had attacked a group of brave men who were traveling at night.

Naturally, the return fire was met and the striggers were defeated.

But that's not the end of the story. The next night, Striges and his army of zombies and other undead attacked the kingdom of Roxx. It was probably revenge for the deaths of their friends.

But that action was foolish. To the brave men who were staying in the Rox Kingdom, hundreds of undead were not enemies, and they used magic to create a pseudo-sun that made the undead disappear in an instant.

Also, the brave men defeated every single Strigeth who attacked them and went straight to Strigeth's tower to exterminate the survivors.

Therefore, Striges is no more. It was supposed to be.

But the zombies appeared again, just in time for the festival. There may have been a survivor of Striges.

Maybe the Striges have a grudge against this country. But Striges is so strong that it's hard to deal with them on their own. That's why I wanted to get help from the brave men.

A brave man with a soft spot for women might listen to Alumina's request.

''Are you sure? I hear the brave men are quick with their hands, aren't they going to mess with the princess?

Gallios says with concern.

'No way. ....... The brave master has a beautiful woman with him. He wouldn't bother to mess with Alumina.'

That said, I'm a little uneasy about it. The brave man's guidance is something that Alumina said herself. I've met the brave before, Alumina had met the brave. Maybe there was something wrong.

But there was nothing that could be done about it. There was nothing the brave man could do, and even though Alumina was her lover, she was still a princess, she couldn't complain.

I hope nothing happened.

My mind buzzed.

◆Dark Knight Kroki.

It was awesome looking: ......

It reminds me of the way Syrone and the others were dressed.

I've already saved that image in a folder in my brain. I can pull them out at any time.

The men in the street are watching as they are devoured by the sight of the white men.

Of course they would watch. I almost felt myself being drawn to them.

The lower half of my body is now in a state of pitching for the most exciting thing I've seen in a while.

If I didn't cover it up with a cloak, I'd be a complete pervert.

Nargol is not very stimulating to begin with. He only surrounds himself with other people. The only demon woman who looks almost human is a member of Mona's entourage, and since Mona doesn't like her very much, she can't even get close to her.

She reminds me of Regina, the human princess I saved the other day. Since she's her own slave, she feels that if she asks for it, she'll let her do naughty things to her. However, if you think about the future of Regena, you can't just let her be damaged by temporary inferiority.

It's a good idea to take care of her to the end as much as possible once you've been entrusted with her custody. I would like to return her to human society in the future. It's better to get her out of there unharmed, so that she can get along with her future husband-to-be.

Still, it's hard to walk.

She thinks about going to that kind of store, really, as she had jokingly said in the bathhouse yesterday.

I said that as a joke that time, but I somehow think it's not so good because it seems to buy women with money.

That's also the fault of Shirone and her friends. I really shouldn't look like that. I'm sure you'll be able to see her hips exposed.

I took a bath with them when they were little, but I haven't seen them in their bathing suits since they grew up.

I didn't know she had grown up like that ....... Her breasts are big and puffy, her hips are nubile, and she is thumped by the growth of her childhood friend.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in your own words.

I remember the look on Rage's face as he was walking down the street.

Rage's face was full of pride.

Rage's expression speaks for itself. What do you think, you can't walk around with such a good woman,” he said, showing off. And he is showing off.

The men who were on the street when they saw that Rage must have been reminding him to squirm.

I don't know why they were dressed like that, but well, I'm sure Rage made them do it.

I'm soooo jealous. Shirone wouldn't have dressed like that even if I had asked her to.

Fists must be flying silently if I asked for such a thing, shikku.

It's depressing to think about it. But thanks to that, I'm starting to feel calmer underneath.

I'm going to make my rounds as I promised Rembar.

To be honest, it's silly to escort Rage and the others. But it's a promise.

I'm going to take a look at it and see if there's anyone who might be in danger of harming them.

I'm going to climb to the top of the castle wall, the tallest structure in the country, and see the streets of the Roxx Kingdom.

My eyesight has improved dramatically since I came to this world. Even from the top of the castle walls, I could see every detail of what people were doing.

I look to see if there are any suspicious people.

Look at the center. There was a group of guffawing looking dangerous to look at. They're Sasaki Rino's SS, also seen in the St. Renaria Republic. They are holding a flag with a picture of Sasaki Rino on it.

I didn't know they were chasing me to this place ....... I was dumbfounded.

It's a dangerous group of people, but even a temple knight could handle that level of detail. I'm going to leave that one alone.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. That said, why is there a crowd of people around them?

I stare at it with my eyes. It was a close call.

They were selling portraits of the girls on Rage's side. Not just for Sasaki Rino, but for everyone else in addition to Shirone. And it's a portrait of the costume they wore today.

They were probably mass-produced with prints or something. They seemed to have brought quite a few of them with them.

I gnash my teeth at my own carelessness for almost missing such an important piece of information.

I'll go buy some later.

Next, I look to the right. I looked for anyone in particular and found about five temple knights.

They're different from the temple knights I met earlier.

This is the second time I've met these temple knights. They are wearing the same uniform surcoat as when they invaded the Raina Temple.

Why are they here?

Conceivably, it was probably because they were taking turns taking a break from their escort.

They seemed to be fighting with the civilian men.

I listen closely to their conversation. It seems that they are fighting over a prostitute.

The temple knight pledged his love to Raina and shouldn't be attracted to other women, but in reality, he's not.

Well, if he was by the side of Syrone and the others dressed like that, he would probably kill the snake alive, and it wouldn't help if he went crazy. It's more like a human reaction.

Finally, I look at the left side. There seems to be nothing in particular. But then one person who looks like a woman catches my eye. The woman is wearing a hood and hiding her face. Her appearance is the same as that of a tourist.

But for some reason, I can't take my eyes off her.

You wonder why. Then I am surprised to find out what she is.

I would not have noticed if I did not look at it intentionally.

Why is she in a place like this?

I didn't think that a dangerous presence was really coming for the brave men.

I hurriedly descend the city walls and run.

And then I go to the woman I'm looking for.

The woman notices us.

”Di...... Dihardt!

A woman looks at me and is astonished.

'It's been a long time. Goddess Raina.'

I curtsy in front of a woman myself.

I pretend to be a normal human being, but I can't fool my own eyes.

The woman in front of me is undoubtedly the goddess Raina.
