Looking for a new partner is good, but can everyone be familiar?
I was a little worried, but quickly disappeared.
The giants/Ogres that have evolved into Oni.
Perhaps as they evolved closer to their ancestors, they would unlock some special powers.
I know I said that it seems like their strength surpasses A rank, but when their strength stabilizes, they can finally fall to A-.
Even so, they had clearly become extremely powerful.
And furthermore, in combat, perhaps more than just physical prowess, special abilities are the key to victory.
I, myself, defeated Issef thanks to my abilities.
So I have to admit, I'm kind of interested in what kind of ability their bodies have.
Also, due to evolution, the clothes they wore were simply no match for them.
Because their bodies were shrinking (though they were still larger than the Other Human Demi) their size was simply too large.
Their armor was broken, and their weapons were peeled off and broke.
Surprisingly, they were dressed like soldiers fleeing the battlefield.
And because of their stylistic tastes that intrigued me, I decided to ask
[Yes! About 400 years ago, a young boy roamed our village.
The villagers were suspicious, but the Village Chief greeted him warmly.
Around the same time, a low-grade dragon went berserk in the forest. After saying thank you, the young man defeated the dragon.
The villagers sanctified his name, and gave his praise to us.
We started to imitate the boy's clothes, and we've been dressed ever since. ]
And that's how it is.
They imitated his equipment and managed to make it back?
[So, you guys remade your own equipment?]
[As you say . The boy had taught us various techniques, and through trial and error, we learned them. Kuroda, for example, was a blacksmith, and specialized in swords. ]
Oho! To think that we already have someone to make a sword …
Let's introduce him to Nard.
Since they had met yesterday, the discussion was not too long.
In fact, as if they had known each other for many years, they quickly started producing new weapons.
Let's leave it to them.
Moreover, there was something shocking!
The world also has silk products.
Most of the clothes I have seen so far are made from something that looks like hemp. Demi Human's real clothes, for example.
Yes, whether it really is Neat or not, I won't know, but it seems like it is.
But I digress. About silk.
It was something that could be harvested from the Hell Moth – monsters living near the village of Ogres. Well, more precisely, it's from the pupa.
If the larva grows into a hell moth, it is a powerful monster with a B-ranked witch powder; however, during transformation, it is completely harmless.
So you look for the cocoon and collect it.
Shuna is an expert in this, and has been called the prince of cain.
Let's introduce him to the 2 brothers
Gorm is in charge of daily wear and clothing.
Mold focuses more on high-class dyes and clothing.
Although we have not been able to make it, we made arrangements to produce it in the end.
As for hunting cocoons - we left it to the cavalry .
And while they do, they will catch some larvae to breed in the village.
Since I don't know much about the cultivation of silkworms, this might end successfully through trial and error.
However, since we may end up getting decent clothes, the pain may be worth it.
About my steel thread pile …
"I leave it to you!" I told Yuuki, and handed him over.
[OKay! I'll make you proud, Yunero-Sama ]
He replied with a bright red hue.
So sweet. He should be at an age where he is happy to be relied upon.
As a giant/Ogre princess, she may not work with fabrics other than as a hobby.
So even a little bit of responsibility seems to make her happy.
The dwarf brothers were also happy to be able to cooperate with him.
Please, don't touch it …
Unlike her appearance, the girl was extremely strong!
Maybe, if they tried to touch his ass, they wouldn't see the sunrise again.
Both of them are very perverted, so that worries me.
Well, the only reason I can worry about them is my lack of sexual desire, probably because of this little boy's body.
If I had it, I would have to worry about myself rather than anyone else.
Because she's so adorable!
Truly an Oni-hime (note : hime means princess).
you'll risk your life every time you tease her.
[Yuuki-Sama has found a job? Please calm your worries as I will devote myself to Rimuru-sama. ]
Yuna pushed herself between me and Yuuki.
Looks like sparks are flying between them .. nah! I might just see some optical illusions.
[Ufufu. How can that happen if I'm the one who will take care of Yunero-Sama]
[No Need For that thought, Hime-sama, I won't let that happen! I will personally fully devote myself to Yunero-Sama ]
* Bachibachibachi * (Shattering lightning)
See it? They are very polite!
And besides, I don't need anyone's treatment.
After living alone for a long time, I was able to arrange all the household tasks.
So ... let's go.
What do I want to do …
[Yunero-Sama Between myself and Yuna, which one will you like by your side? ]
They didn't let me escape.
[Ah, yes. Yuuki has the weaving, right? So I'll depend on you when you're free, maybe? ]
Depends what?
I don't get it. Yuuki on the other hand,
[Understood !! I'm liked, right! ]
Ah yes Yes Yes . Let's stop right there.
[It's good to have you!]
He smiled and nodded at my words. Cute .
[In that case, for now, please hand Yunero-Sama over to me, Hime-sama!]
[Cih.Jaga our master!]
[(Milk.) I live to serve!]
Somehow, the chatter got heavier.
At that time, it felt like the temperature dropped in the room.
You know, there are many things in this world that you have to say: I might imagine it! This is one of them.
.
Together with Yuna walked around to supervise the construction.
By the way, what's left up to three?
They were with us until a while ago …
[Yakurou-Sama is our martial arts instructor. The strongest swordsman in the royal guard, surely he went to confirm the defense of the city.
Rentaro-Sama and Sai-Sama seem to have gone to check on their abilities.
They are rivals and friends. I believe they want to test their new strength. ]
I Understand .
Of course, even I understand how important it is to check your own abilities.
And Yakurou is a swordsman, yes.
But if he was busy inspecting the village, asking him for training would have to wait.
Kuroda and the others were also busy making armor and swords, so it didn't matter. But really, can't wait to get a sword.
I really want to imagine Demi Human troops armed with swords. However, in actual combat, a spear was definitely a better choice.
We went to find Rentaro and Sai.
It was a battle like the one you will see in the manga.
The red and blue auras would intertwine and fight for dominance.
Earth split and sky broke? That was how intense their fight was.
I can't believe my eyes. So this is Oni …!
Their armor was shattered due to the force of their punch. Not that it could protect them from the start.
Their swords were broken, but they continued the fight with — bare hands that resembled karate, with predetermined techniques and rules. It wasn't an amateur fight.
… Um... They are giants, right?
Their movements were so fluid that I wanted to ask.
[As expected of the young master. Sai is amazing too. In our martial arts, bare-handed skills serve as the basis for sword mastery. ]
That's what he said. The sword is an extension of the body so, first of all master the body …
These words were passed down in the village from the young boy who defeated the dragon.
Martial arts expert – if adventurers meet them .. I wonder how many unfortunate adventurers meet such a fate. Let's give them a prayer.
After noticing me the two immediately stopped their fight, and rushed over.
No one was hurt on either.
If anything, they look like they're playing catch or something.
[Yunero-Sama I humbly thank you for this incredible power!]
[With this power, I will turn Orcs into a sea of blood in Your name!]
Although I can't say I'm looking forward to it.
[The words are promising! I'll hand it to you. Well, we still need the Other Human Demons to gather more information. ]
[Is it going badly?]
[No, the Demi Human is very kind, but there are many dangers associated with approaching too close. ]
Right For the sake of intelligence, I have sent scouts.
However, since some orcs may be very careful, I strictly ordered the scouts to avoid detection.
After hearing my explanation Sai said
[Yunero-Sama in this case, I'll go for reconnaissance. Please give the order ]
Looks like he has confidence in espionage skills.
Perhaps now that he had evolved, the powerful Oni Sai could gather better intel than the Demi Humans.
If anything, he looks level-headed, so he probably won't do anything.
Maybe I can hand it to him.
[Can I leave it to you?]
[Yes! I listen and obey! ]
As he answered his figure disappeared from sight.
Shadow movement.
I understand he has acquired an incredible skill.
With great difficulty, I should also be able to obtain it. I think I have something else I need to practice.
[Sorry for using your friend ..」]
[No problem. We have to show results with the power you give us! ]
[I understand .. The Orcs are your sworn enemies. Our day against them will come; keep your anger until then! ]
[Of course . If there's anything I can do, please give me your orders. I live to be your hands and feet! ]
[.. Is it so . Your words take away my fear! By the way, did you find the Talented Demi Human? ]
[What I do. You mentioned making a country here? Yunero-Sama as our king, Yord as Prime Minister? I'm afraid I don't understand much about politics, but please leave the military affairs to me. ]
While we were talking about it,
[Ho ho ho. Young master, you intend to use my old bones to use?
However, if it is for the sake of Yunero-Sama then I will force this old body to work! ]
With such words, Yakurou had joined the conversation.
I did not notice his presence at all. Or his body temperature.
Oi oi ….
If he hits me now, I will be hit once without any warning …
This is what they call master …!
In a better time, or perhaps had he been born as a human, he might have been referred to as a Holy Sword or something.
Nameless, never out into the world, this grandfather (ogre) was secretly polishing his sword skills.
I could see how he became the strongest among them.
[Rentaro ... are you stronger than Yakurou-san?]
[Fu. Yunero-Sama.Your jokes put me in an awkward position.This old man, rather, Yakurou is the strongest man in the royal guard.
He even surpassed my father. And besides, he was a mixed race with the blood of young human warriors flowing through him.
[As he said . My ancestor is none other than the swordsman Arata Byakuran! ]
Japanese, yeah.
It seems to be from the katana period.
[I understand, in this case, you are a samurai, right?]
One word, casual causes it.
Magic energy shot out from Yakurou's body, mixed with those around her, and then regrouped.
The amount of energy in his body did not change. However, the quality is so.
I forgot about that. Evolution due to class change, yes.
Oni is middle-aged, but it seems I have cheered her up .. Now she looks like the best of her life.
Well, he also looks shocked by the changes in his body. I've done it again.
Thinking that just one word of mine can have such an effect.
While his body was still adjusting to the increase in magical energy, it seemed to have found a suitable samurai class to suit.
I just pray he doesn't get stronger than me.
[Good for you . From today on, you are a samurai. Samurai lived by their loyalty. Serve Rentaro well! ]
So I exclaimed.
[Wait a minute, I always wanted to be made sa-mu-ra-i. ]
Rentaro said as he looked at me with determined eyes.
He really is like a stereotypical warrior.
But to ask now all the time …
[I can do that, but, are you okay with not being the village chief?]
[You said those words at this late hour! I've chosen to serve under you. I've pledged my loyalty to you. Once again, I offer my loyalty, please recognize me as your samurai! ]
[I asked you this too!]
Yuna too, yeah.
If this is the case, I think I should just bite the bullet.
[I understand . From now on, you are a samurai! Live for my benefit! ]
I feel like I said this yesterday as well .. how embarrassing.
But these people …
[ [As you ordered !!! We promise our whole life to you !!! ] ] ]
Without a hint of shame, they promised me.
By the way, I gave Kuroda the Iron-Savvy profession, and Yuuki the Shrine Maiden class.
But Kuroda .. although his strength decreased as a result, he showed me a terrifying skill in forging swords.
Yuuki seems to have been able to use black magic since the beginning, but being the Maiden Temple seems to have revealed some secret art to him.
Unlike magic, it was not something he could teach others.
Although if he acquires a skill that seems useful, I will definitely ask to analyze it.
It didn't matter that he couldn't teach it to others. I have Knowledge Earring, after all
I'll learn it as soon as he gets it.
Fufufu. As for the man who already had the shadow movement, I knew exactly what was suitable for him.
Right! What every child loves .. ninja!
If it was him, he might have been able to land a critical strike that sent heads flying!
Actually ... Yakurou can already do that .. scary.
Just standing next to her made me imagine my head flying.
I have to consider their strength further.
Now that they are getting stronger, I have to think of a method to improve myself.
I can't continue to depend on ability forever.
Looks like I have a lot to learn for the upcoming battle!
Then, it happened. Explain what I need to prepare.
