The Death Mage That Doesnt Want A Fourth Time 16 (2/2)

Vandalieu handed over the ite the iteeon other than the suits of armor that had become Saria and Rita’s bodies and the weapons that they used

Vigaro thanked Vandalieu as he received the battleaxe, and then looked at him with a serious expression

「Vandalieu, you should be the King」

「 I’m sorry?」

「Us Ghouls join forces with other villages to fight against a common eneives the orders is the King That should be you」

「 I’m sorry?」

Froaro’s explanation, Vandalieu understood the role of the King, but he couldn’t understand why he should be the one in such an important position Vandalieu was confused, but Basdia looked happy at his response

「I’reed, Van」

「No no no, I didn’t ree, but『I’m sorry?』」

TLN: This is “はい？/hai?” in the raw This is sometimes used to ask the person to repeat what they said in a confused kind of way, so I’ve translated this to “I’m sorry?” However, “はい/hai” also translates to “yes” which has led to this

「But Van, everyone else says you’re the most suitable as well」

「Who do you mean by “everyone”?!」

「Everyone other than you, Van」

「When?!」

It seeic Ite distributed

『Congratulations, Bocchan』

『This is a great success for you~♪』

『We’ll do our best, too!』

Sahters had apparently also participated in the discussions It seele person had any complaints

Sa Vandalieu a thu applause

『Oh Vandalieu, you’ve become such a fine boy!』

Darcia had woken up without Vandalieu noticing and was now crying tears of happiness Was she feeling like a parent whose child had been chosen as the class representative or put in the leading role in the school arts festival?

「No no no, let’s not get ahead of ourselves You ree? I’m a Dhampir, you know I’?」

「It will be alright; that is not a problem」

「Yeah, if it were a human then there’d probably be some opposition, but since you’re a Dhampir, it’ll be fine」

「 Well, even I think that it’ll probably be fine」

The founder of Ghouls was thought to be the younger brother or sister of the founder of Va like a relative for Ghouls In addition, Dhampirs were considered monsters by the Amid Empire and its nations

And Vandalieu possessed the【Death-Attribute Chares wouldn’t be strongly opposed to hi

「And you do , boy, in terms of your ability and achievements」

Vandalieu had once told Zadiris that he possessed the【Strengthen Followers】skill

「Boy, the【Strengthen Followers】skill that you ests, increasing the attribute points of your followers Your followers are your Undead, and ill be your followers as well In other words, if you stand at the top position as King, you will strengthen all of the Ghouls that follow your co-specific skill」

The【Strengthen Followers】skill is so” possesses Thanks to this skill, the group of er than norreater

Though Zadiris didn’t know this, there was once a Goblin King who had obtained a level 10【Strengthen Followers】skill and his followers fought evenly against fully-ar fur loincloths

There was a reason that the Adventurers’ Guild treated the appearance of a King as a disastrous event

「You are the one whoable to reproduce easily, did you not? You opened up our future and helped us prosper You have already shown success in doing so as well If these are not the achievements of a leader, then I do not knohat are」

Vandalieu felt that Zadiris was exaggerating with her words, but difficulty with reproduction was a problem that Ghouls as a race faced, and the fact that they couldn’t increase their numbers had been a heavy restriction that prevented the

If the other Ghouls knew that Vandalieu had a way to solve this probleather to follow his command

Having never i birth rates would lead to this, Vandalieu put a hand to his forehead Vigaro seeone well He had made Vandalieu heavily involved as he had said he would, but he was slightly immature about it

「I understand I will beco」

And so Vandalieu beca an adventurer

『Vandalieu has acquired the title of【Ghoul King!】』

『The level of the【Strengthen Followers】skill has increased!』

TLN: This is “二つ名/futatsuna” which literally means “second name”; I previously translated this as “nickname” when it appeared early in the series Now that I knohat this actually is, I’e to previous chapters as well

The first job for this King was ar

「Gudan, are there any tight or hard-to-move parts?」

「It’s hard to ht」

Ghoulthat their fists would reach the ground even if they were standing upright Since their appearance was so different froned armor that Vandalieu had distributed without some adjustments

Normally, a skilled craftsman and some time would be needed to alter them for Ghoul use

「Now then, stand up」

However, Vandalieu had thought of a method that didn’t require either

First, he would have the Ghouls put the ar Armor to be more accurate, armor-shaped Golems

「The shape of the ar your arms and neck」

With a creaking noise, the ared shape with the use of the【Golem Creation】skill It took less than ten minutes for the metal human-shaped armor to become suitable for Ghoul use

It looked unrefined as it had no decorations, but it had plenty of function There were some parts that the ar, but that would be fixed by using leather parts made from monster hides

「Oh, it’s beco!」

「You’re welcome Next person~」

This asn’t King-like at all, but since the village’s craftsmen had only worked with monster hides, bones and horns before, they were unable to adjust the metal armor That hy there was no option but for Vandalieu to do it himself

The King-like work visiting the other Ghoul villages and requesting for their cooperation would begin toes had been established in a way that their hunting grounds didn’t overlap, so they were quite far apart, and they thought of each other as rivals when there wasn’t a common enemy, so even Zadiris didn’t know their exact locations or numbers

Vandalieu’s insect Undead and spirit informants would help them estimate where they were

This seemed like an unexpectedly slow plan, but the noble Orc’s village wouldn’t act before spring and possibly even as late as summer, so they had time

Of course, they wanted to save the captured feetting defeated would be pointless

Incidentally, the Ghouls didn’t really think about saving the female adventurers that had been captured Adventurers were normally enemies for Ghouls Basdia and Bilde seeh to risk anything for them

And Vandalieu had no desire to do so either The adventurers of the nation of Mirg were enemies for him as well He knew that it was possible that if he saved the us, in return, we’ll exterminate you, okay~♪」

(Well, if I saw the tormented with my own eyes or if it turned out that they were people I knew, then I ht think to save them)

Vandalieu are that if he sao hurt, he would associate them with Darcia and his blood would quickly rise to his head

(I suppose we’ll do e can quickly and efficiently, and if they’re still alive after in, then I’ll save them)

If he abandoned captured adventurers, he orried about what the cheaters ould be reincarnated here in the future would say, so he did intend to save them in the end

(Ah, now that I think about it, should I tell Zadiris and the others about my circuaro, Basdia Those three, I suppose I’ll make them heavily involved with me as well, just as they’ve done with me)

As Vandalieu was thinking this strange revenge, the next person needing ar came forward

It was Basdia

「Basdia? Is it tight somewhere?」

Vandalieu had been told to drop the honorifics now that he was King, so he omitted the “san” and Basdia replied with a casual「Yeah」

He had thought that the women’s armor wouldn’t need adjustment, as Ghoul women had identical body shapes to humans

「My chest is a little no, very tight」

「 Now that you ned for men」

He realized that he needed to adjust everyone’s armor after all
