The sun began to rise, and it began to brighten slightly. I piggyback Rion, whose excitement didnât cool down, and dived into the village gate.
âRion got the big one, but I was the best in terms of the number of enemy soldiers captured.â
âThen I have the highest number of monsters defeated!â
Where did she take those out? Melfina went âmogu-moguâ chewing skewers and dumplings. Sara was with a chin-raising âdoyaâ face as usual. Melfinaâs dumplings would have been kept in Clothoâs storage. Clotho, donât spoil her too much. Melfina will get fat.
And for some reason, they both stare at me and donât make a tremor. Oh, do you want me to praise you?
âYeah, you both did well.â
âWell! ThenâŠâ
âBut now is my time ~â
As she rides on my back, Rion presses her chick on my hair. Sara and Melfina couldnât help but take a step back. Itâs usually pretty sticky, but today itâs unusually clean.
âKel-niiâs hair is smooth.â
âIs that so? Rionâs is more comfortable to touch, isnât it?â
Rion and I played with each otherâs hair. For the time being, Iâm careful about my taste. Iâm careful about my body. After living in the mansion, Iâm happy to take a bath every day. Of course, the same is true for our women. Viva, bath culture!
âMy Liege, itâs okay to flirt, but itâs time to be welcomed by the elves.â
âWhat are you talking about? This is a brother-sister communication.â
âThatâs right, Gera-ji. Itâs not embarrassing to be seen.â
âMmm, is that so? Huh?â
Gerard has a subtle face (I feel), but this much is a daily occurrence.\n
(You are being gradually poisoned by Rion âŠ)
While doing so, we reach the square. The elves seemed confused by the turmoil when Efil fell, but they noticed when we came this far. I met the Elder who just turned around.
âKe, Kelvin-dono!â
âElder, Iâm back now ââ
âKelvin donoooo!â
The Elder headed towards us with a fierce dash.
Isnât his character different from when we first met? After all, itâs hot and temperamental even though itâs an elf.
âSorry! Efil san has collapsed!â
âKeep calm. Efil is okay.â
Elder Nereus, who is moving to the dogeza position, and the villageâs elves warmly welcomed us. No one seems to have been injured. It is good.
I managed to convince him that Efil was slightly tired. However, there was a rain of gratitude that was subsequently released by the elves. There were many elves in the village, so itâs quite loud. Just as I was feeling caged because of that, imagine how confused would have felt Efil who received this alone.
âWhat should I give you to really thank you âŠâ
âElder, can you wait for a while before that? First, I want to check the state of the cage.â
âItâs the Trisen soldiers you captured. No way, Trisen was moving behind the monster attack ⊠here. Please.â
There was a special cage created by my green magic in the square. As far as I confirmed through the subordinate network, the people caught in this battle were: one adjutant belonging to the âHybrid Demon Beast Corpsâ, two battalion commanders, five captains, and many other general soldiers. There was: one lieutenant belonging to the âMagic Knightsâ and three battalion commanders.
It was easy to know because all officers had an insignia indicating the rank on the uniformsâ neck.
Checking the captives, Clive seemed to have brought the best of his knights as an escort. It was said he was the favorite but in effect, this would have cost most of his Knightsâ strength.
âHi, hi!?â\nAs we approach the cage, the captured Trisen soldiers move to the back of the cage and scream pitifully. It feels like theyâre scared of Sara.
âWhat? Thatâs rude!â
Sara is angry, but well, anyone who watched the battle from beginning to end knows how it feels. Unidentified enemies approached while the B-class monsters were swept away like scraps of paper. It looks even scarier because the enemy looked like a beautiful girl. In the second half, there was no commander in charge, and many soldiers turned their backs and fled. Many people might have been traumatized.
âAh! Help, Iâm scared.â
â She is coming here! Please help me!â
Rion jumps off from my shoulder and lands in front of the cage in front of me. She approaches with a smile while waving her hands, but the result is the same as Saraâs.
âMoo, as a girl, this reaction hurts.â
âDonât trouble yourself anymore. Theyâre not the ones that I have business with.â
I look at the four women sitting in the cage with their knees in their arms. The female Magic Knights were under Cliveâs control. All four have hollow eyes and show no reaction unlike the soldiers of the Hybrid Demon Beast Corps.
âClotho, bring the female knights over there.â
Clotho goes âpoyonÂŽ out of my robe and goes down to the ground. Clotho enlarges a part of his body, goes through the gap in the cage, and moves it like a tentacle⊠he lifts the female knights to this side of the cage. It carries them in a row. The people of the mixed demon beast corps around me are annoyingly noisy, but I put up with it.
âDid you really say that the man who called himself Clive who charmed them was a reincarnated?â
Melfina skipped the story.
âHmm? Oh, I said that.â
âIs that so?â
âDid you have any concerns?â
âNo, letâs talk later. Please concentrate on this now. â
âReally?â\n\nRion is surprised. I donât show it on my face, but I am quite surprised inside. Even if I check her with an appraisal eye, the status is a general woman, and she is also an elf.
âWas he a woman?â
âNo, this is a false appearance with magic items transmitted to our country. So, to say, itâs like showing a vision. Iâm sorry, but this one is a man. I was waiting for something to happen, but Iâm relieved that things have been completed safely.ââ
Leonhard laughs.
Is it a magic item that falsifies not only its appearance but also its status? Considering the performance, it seems to be worth the S class.
âAll right, king of the country. Itâs an item that is a national treasure, even if you tell me that âŠâ
âI donât care. Iâm going to understand your people through the way you fight in this defense. And Kelvin is now the hero of the village. Nereus, donât you feel the same?â
â⊠Huh!â
Leonhard sits down on the sofa and faces me.
âKelvin. you passed this test. You revealed the enemyâs mastermind without damaging the village. Well, it is a deduction that you destroyed the forest a little.â
âIâm sorryâŠâ
âWell, thatâs more than enough. If Gown had sent an elite, it would be more damage. Thank you for your work.â
He bows his head deeply. Even if he is in a womanâs appearance now, this is bad in his territory. I hurriedly stop him.
âDonât worry. Nobody thinks Iâm Leonhard in this figure. Only Nereus knows. This figure is a reflection of Nereusâ daughter, and I replaced her on the way. It was really funny when Nereus got down on his knees by mistake! â
âThis, king, thatâsâŠâ
Nereus is about to cry.
âWell, yeah? This one still wants to talk, but itâs okay. This one will arrange for the people you caught this time, and as part of this rewardâŠâ
Leonhard took out something like a stamp from his chest.
âLet us give this oneâs direct permission stamp of Gownâs transfer gate. Come on, let us get the guildâs certificate.?â
