3-6: Gururian City Disruption and Japanese 1
After doing some experiments and hunting down some monsters along with the three of them, we were getting ready to continue our journey to the city of Gururian and there was a group of people who came and asked if we would go there and they recommended food...
"When you get to the city of Gururian, don't miss eating a round red bean paste... "
"But because it's one big copper coin for one, it's not easy to have it..."
"For a merchant like Onee san, you will be laughed at by your business partner, if you have never eaten one... "
"What candy is that...?"
"Umm. You make a white blob and put a sweet black blob as the main part around it..."
The sisters who were with us at the camp before the city of Gururian talked about the sweets in the city...
This is somehow an imaginable, yet misleading, explanation...
"You've never eaten it..."
"This girl became interested in sweets after a merchant boasted of her in the village... "
"Fuhn... When I'm gonna get my salary at the internship, then..."
I'll eat it first and foremost..."
"The salary you say, it'll be years before that..."
As I understand it, these sisters came from a nearby village to become disciples in a merchant shop in Gururian city...
They are guaranteed necessities such as food and shelter, but in exchange they will not get a salary until they become full-time employees...
Such labor methods may be cheaper than buying labor slaves...
"Secilia same traders seem to be leaving...."
"Then we must also go..."
It seems like the merchants who were with us at the campsite are leaving...
There are three groups of traders...
I heard a lot of stories from them, when I offered them ale and fish last night...
The most unsettling story was a ghost story like, "In a remote place far away on the mountain, a red light could be seen and the sound of a hammer hitting something resounded throughout the night."...
It really felt like something I had done myself...
Thanks to my night work being a ghost story, I have managed to purify and dispose of a lot of lead and zinc...
I made a mud wall to prevent sound from leaking out, but it didn't seem like enough...
Since we were able to arrive at Gururian city before noon by train, I invited the sisters to go there together...
"Yay... "
"Thank you very much..."
"Is that okay...?"
"I don't mind, we have the same goal... "
The sisters did the reckless thing of walking to the city of Gururian on foot...
It seemed that the distance between the sister village to Gururian city was two days of travel by foot, it was good that they were not attacked by beasts...
Last night, they slept with us in our tents, but their chastity could have been in danger, if we had not been there...
Our train joined another merchant train as it drove...
There was a group of suspicious young Nobles gathered in the open space before Gururian city, so I decided not to go first and mingle with other merchants instead...
"Traders visiting the city of Gururian...!! "
"We want a magic sword... "
"We promise to those who give us the magic sword, we will give it to them as a supplier in the future... "
A man who passed his 20s wearing knight-like clothes attracted the merchants who lined up to enter the city...
Of course, no one answered...
There was the same noble as in the Dwarf village, he was probably just like him...
I have stored Tiane's magic spear and Lina's sword inside the Holding Bag as it looks like it will get entangled...
It became a problem when we entered Muno city back then, I had kept it before...
Right now the two of them were hanging an ordinary sword on his waist...
"Hey... The same noble said that he would make you his supplier if you gave him a magic sword..."
"That's amazing, Onee chan... "
"Of course..."
"However, expensive things like magic swords have nothing to do with us... "
"You shall be deceived in the city, if so... ""
Totona worriedly silenced the sisters' carefree talk...
"That one, you know,『We have no money..."
"But we want a magic sword... "
"Give it to us for free... "
"And as compensation, we will give you good, if we succeed in the future... "
"Don't complain even if we don't succeed, convenient for themselves, such nonsense isn't it...?"
"Uwah.so it's like that..."
"I don't know..."
"Totona Chan, you're smart even if you're a kid..."
The sisters get off the train with Lina's help...
They were lined up with people because the train queues and people were different...
"Secilia san, thank you..."
"Thank you very much... "
"In addition to letting us sleep together, you even feed us all day long..."
"Don't worry about that... "
"That won't work, we'll work at a hardware store called Midoriya, so if you need something there, visit us, I can't give you a discount and I will prepare the best items for you... "
I thought the employees would only be given assignments, but I accepted the girls' good wishes and thanked them...
The Nobles and their servants from before seemed to be negotiating with the merchants lining up one by one...
I'll enter the city before they get here...
We headed for the gate without marching...
Lina and Tiane had confirmed with the gate keeper that Nobles could be prioritized to enter first...
Although it was not like there was no entrance examination in the Dwarves' self-governing territories, they were just checking us officially...
I could hear him from behind, "Eh" and "So he's the same nobleman"...
Come to think of it, I didn't tell them my name...
For the past few days, I've been making swords for Lina and Tiane that are the same as Tiane's magic spear but I haven't been able to produce a satisfactory one...
I can give them a magic sword from storage, but that magic sword is very dangerous and it can destroy some mountains in its attack, so I will give them by the time they are already proficient in using it...
So for the time being, I gave a weapon that was not too dangerous...
Although I said swords to Tiane, him and Lina, they could use any weapons, but I only gave them 1, so they only used the weapons I prepared...
There are five types of magic weapons...
The first was the type that combined the magic circuitry of the Trazayuya holy sword research...
There are many good magic weapons of this type...
That's what happened, the difficulty level was very high...
The golden and silver wood magic swords were of this type...
The second was a magic weapon like the one made by elder Dohar...
This was the type that could receive magic power without any special magic circuit since it was characteristic of magic metals like mithril or adamantite...
It was difficult to obtain materials, but their stability was their strong point...
The third was a weapon made from monster parts, just like Tiane's magic spear and Lina's sword...
The performance was similar to the second type, but the individual difference was too great, weapons made from the same monster parts could have a huge difference and there were many flaws...
Fourth is the cursed weapon...
Although it has a permanent magic grant, it basically gives danger to the user, so the person using this type is few...
Right now, I have never really seen anyone do it other than Elder Dohar...
The fifth is the type where the blade part and magic circuit are made separately and then attached to become a magic weapon...
I saw this when I hid the magic sword from the storage...
The blade part was ordinary, but the handle part had a magic circuit printed...
When you use magic power, it gives the effect of [Strengthen] and [Dexterity]...
It even accelerated the speed of the sword swing...
You can separately create magic circuits on the blade and handle, this is easier than carving magic circuits on the blade part...
What I produced in the experiment was the first and third...
For the method of the Trazayuya document, I tried to make a circuit during the process of casting the sword, but since the weak circuit liquid became hot, it dissolved halfway...
The sword could roughly receive magic power, but the circulating magic power was decorated, there was no practical use for it...
Next, I made a knife by shaving the skin off the beetle monster and the newt hard bone and penetrating the circuit liquid on the gap to increase the magic conduction...
For once, the real magic sword was finished, but the aspect like power was lower compared to Tiane's magic spear, so I put it into reserve...
A sweet smell drifted as we entered the city...
It smells like Japanese candy or rather, red bean paste...
"Kuu.. it smells good...!"
The tension of Lina and Tiane increased while that Totona looked at them with curiosity...
"Young lady over there, how about a nice round red bean paste...?"
A girl around the age of High School sells while carrying a tray of food around her neck...
It's like the style of a lunchbox seller from the Showa era...
Unfortunately her clothes were ordinary clothes like a village girl, not Japanese clothes...
He wears a short apron on his waist...
I bought some round red bean paste and distributed it to everyone...
This is [Ohagi]...
The inside of dumplings is not sticky rice but sticky rice...
The red bean paste was also coarse, it tasted like [Ohagi] a long time ago...
"So that's really the truth, the name of this city... "
"I wonder if it's bad..."
People won't know that it's bad, if they don't know Japanese, so I won't tell this to anyone, but this [Gururian]...
The person who named this city must be the Japanese who like bad jokes...
We've wasted time buying sweets...
First of all, I have to go to the lord's place and hand over Nina san's letter...
Miss Karina and the maid squad were inside the ship that was currently entering the harbor, but it was likely that they would remain on the ship until it reached the capital...
Since Raka shouldn't be able to detect kamidi here, there's probably no need to worry...
It seems that the first preliminary fight to enter the qualification took place in a public park here and there in the city right now...
It looks like you need to pay three copper coins at the agency in the town hall to get proof of participation and when there are 10 people who have gathered, the first preliminary round can begin...
A match happens whenever two people get together and after gathering the 32 people who have won the match, the initial match ends and it looks like the second match starts...
People who have won the first four preliminary matches can participate in the second preliminary round...
I see, I guess every city should have four of the best...
It has been a week since its inception and there have been 20 people who have gone through the first round...
There was a preliminary match taking place in the park near the main road, I stopped the train and watched it...
Since Totona was restless every time cheers were raised in the public park, I decided to watch it for a while...
A sharp-looking weaselkin girl tried to sell a betting check, but I turned her down....
The people participating in the preliminary fight were mixed people from most levels 3-7, but some that exceeded level 10 were rarely mixed as well...
The ones who were fighting were now above level 10...
They were both wearing leather armor, one-handed swords and shields, they were mercenaries for a long time...
Their levels were no different from Lina and the others, but they were slow and there were too many useless moves during the exchange of sword blows...
I'd say that the girls won't lose against any of them...
Apparently, the winner of this match would be qualified to participate in the first preliminary round, so the cheers were quite frantic...
This might not be due to unnecessary worries, but a commotion could be heard from the nearby public park...
"It's terrible..."
"The monsters have appeared inside the city..."
That was terrible...
I confirm, but there are many monsters all over the city...
It seemed like they were cavalry monsters called running dragons...
It seemed that most of them were assigned as Viceroy's personal soldiers...
There was no monster in the direction where the voice from before came...
There is a demon...
Besides, there was someone troublesome nearby...
The demon that appeared in the Gugurian city had the same class of Muno city...
This species was the same Short Horn demon, level 30 and also had the same skills, [Strength], [Hard Body], [Transformation], [Flame Palm], it did not have any magic skills...
It was a demon that was perfectly suited to be a pioneer...
Nevertheless, I am sure that there were no demons before we entered this city...
Or rather, I can affirm that there are no demons in the entire Dukedom...
It didn't seem like a demon could teleport, so it might be sent or summoned by someone...
I left horses and carriages to Totona and we went out into the streets against the fleeing people...
As we moved, I told everyone that the ones in front were not monsters but demons, levels, skills, and things to be careful about during the fight...
Sometimes, there were people jumping in the air as if playing a trampoline from the direction of the crowd...
Although the demon could not use magic, it did not look weak...
When the fleeing people became rare, the demon figure could be seen...
The demon looked different from the one in Muno city, had a larger body and six arms, looking like a gorilla...
The only common point among them is the red short horn, as implied by their species name...
Soldiers fighting demons surrounded him...
Several chariots that were destroyed from the battle were scattered around along with corpses among the rubble...
Looks like there's a survivor in the car...
Many holes open in the buildings facing the street...
Near the demon, there was a soldier with heavy equipment and a blue leather shield doing well against him with his shield...
His level was 29, equivalent to a demon...
I don't think I need to help
And then as if to betray that thought, the demon swung its powerful arm and blew a few people into the air...
Those guys came here...
I quickly ran and caught one of them with a magic hand...
I release the Cube for the remaining two to cut off their momentum...
With this, at least they won't die...
Hang on, if you're a man...
I talked to the man I caught...
The reason why we acted so conspicuously was because there was this girl near the demon...
"Please don't be too rash, Karina... "
"Ehh... Cetila..."
Though puzzled when she found out that I was the one who received it, Miss Karina called out my name...
Even though Miss Karina has Raka's protection, she still lost about 20% of her health, so I asked Tiane and Lina for healing...
And then, when I put Miss Karina down, for some reason she held onto my sleeve and it seemed that the person himself did not understand why...
"Secilia san. The front line has collapsed. I'll help the brand..."
Tiane declared so and headed to the battlefield...
Their eyes looked like they were looking at a soft prey...
Since the demon was going to counter the Combo attacks of Lina and Tiane with three punches, I intercepted it by firing a Short Stun at each fist...
Lina's magic spear and Tiane's magic sword pierced through the demon's body helplessly losing its balance...
They activated the magic edge, of course...
That attack only reduced 20% of the health demons, but I think it was incredible when you compared it to the accumulated damage that had occurred...
The late Totna attacked the bottom of the demon's knee simultaneously...
The damage was not even 5% of his health, but it seemed painful as the demon let out a short shriek and retaliated using its tail towards Totona...
I threw the helmet of someone who fell near my feet towards the belly of the demon...
As the helmet damaged the demon's posture, the tail attack lost its power and Lina and Tiane became able to accept it by crossing their swords and spears, changing its direction towards the sky...
The two made from that vector well and took a distance from the demon...
That reminds me, the heavy army from before disappeared...
When I looked down, the army had fallen near the demon's feet...
The metal armor under his arm was heavily dented and he spewed blood from his mouth...
I brought the soldier with magic hand...
I threw Remote Stun at the demon Short Horn...
"Before that middle class Great Hammer was shot randomly and had just advanced gradeDivine Hammer..."
"He must have been [Black Gale] dono whose name came out in the first preliminary round... "
"No, [Black Gale] was supposed to be a middle-aged man, he was definitely a magic warrior, the [Red Fighting Demon]..."
The peanut gallery makes irresponsible comments...
Who are the people by the name of Chuuni...
The peanut gallery hid in a building not too far away...
Since the defensive position has come off the scene, I guess I should take his place...
"Shyld..."
The materialized magic shield stopped the blow from the demon fist that had risen and attacked...
It's an unexpected blow...
It wasn't a metaphor, the punch actually extended five meters, so I had to make his attention...
If it stretches again next time, I'll tie it...
"Here you are the gorilla.. "
With this, it should not change its goal even, if Tiane and the others attacked to a certain extent...
"I'll help you Secilia..."
Miss Karina called my name out loud as if she was advertising it to the public...
He often glanced at me as if expecting me to call his name back, but I ignored him...
He must not be spoiled...
Before he arrived at the demon, Lian and Tiane's magic hit him first...
Lina's magic, Flash, burning demon eyes, Lina's attack, Mustard Mist, roasting her lungs...
Karina who clearly came before me intercepted the demon attack and flew away...
Raka shone before the attack hit him, and some small shield light stacked protecting him, that was probably why the damage was practically non-existent...
I wonder if you can filter the automatic defense from Raka and mass-produce...
Accompanied by dummy chanting, I called out five Remote Arrows and launched them...
Health demons decreased by 30% at once...
It was from a Remote Arrow attack from a distance...
Since demons are the type that specialize in physical attacks and defenses, the magic defense may be weak...
"Lina please cover me with attack magic... "
"Totona please attack with water ball or water polo... "
"Good... "
Lia made the Light Dagger fly towards the demon, but it shattered with just a swing from the demon's arm...
The water ball that came a little late only made the demon wet...
Ohh.. Isn't that weak for magic...
"Well, junior-grade magic like the Light Dagger will not be effective against demons... "
"But, the current magic arrows succeeded... "
"It was either a middle class Javelin or an advanced class Multiple Javelin... "
"No.. It's definitely not Multiple Javelin, is it... ?"
The bean gallery was noisy since a while ago...
Ten men and women in matching uniforms had appeared in my view...
I wonder if they're apprentice witches...
As they expected, I fired a middle-class magic spell and shot [Freeze Water] at the demon...
The goal was a wet place due to the Totona attack...
Lina attacked with her spear at that spot in no time and the demon's arm was successfully broken...
I can end this by slashing the demon with a fairy sword, but it would be too conspicuous with all these bean galleries...
Alright, now I have to freeze the demon and let Lina and Tiane tear it down to end this...
I wonder if the temperature dropped too low for the frozen demon, the part that received Lina and Tiane's attack collapsed and scattered...
The fragments that became small disappeared with black smoke...
Are low-class demons going to disappear huh...
The splitter also became black dust back then...
The lower half of his body remained as it was, but the magic core that was shining a faint light pierced through the remaining upper part...
Tiane casually collected it...
I saw the place where my crisis perception reacted, the small red horn fell to the ground...
I judged it, this is an item called [Short Horn]...
The explanation section is written in demon language...
I can by reading it...
Unlike with human magic tools, the explanation is simple...
“Transform creatures with intelligence on the spot to be demons ”written there...
The reason why demons suddenly appeared within the city was because of this item...
I checked if there were any other [Short Horn] in this town just in case, but none...
I tried searching for it all over the region, but only returned the frozen sound, so I traced, Because I can't search inside the Item Box and Holding Bag (other people), either, it's just for peace of mind, but it's better than not doing it...
I put Short Horn into storage, and started work helping the injured people...
First, to the luxury car...
There were four survivors in this car...
There's a broken train on top of an overturned train...
Since it would be too conspicuous, if I picked it up, I blew the carriage with Short Stun...
I quietly held onto the body of the carriage so as not to shake...
I got on the train and looked inside...
It seems they are all unconscious...
There was a boy and a girl with black hair about 10 years old, a smart-looking woman past her twenties wearing civilian official clothes...
And a 15-year-old pink-haired girl wearing a dress...
Although the dress girl might not hear the retort in my mind, she woke up...
He still seems to be feeling fuzzy...
"Black hair He..ro... "
The girl just muttered so and fainted again...
This was my first meeting with Rumooku kingdom's daughter, Menea...
