Chapter 192 \nChapter 192 – Let's Meet Again at the Hotel\n
◎ Olboa City, Marua Hotel
「Royal Capital Shubain was attacked by a force of up to thousands of Ogres?」
The next morning, Benzel showed up with dark circles under his eyes, and Kazane hysterically raised her voice after he spoke. The other members also looked at Benzel with skeptical eyes, but even though he said it himself Benzel thought it was a hard to believe situation. He had a slightly wry smile.
「No, please don't look at me with those eyes. I also find it a little unbelievable.」
Benzel said. It seemed that information came from the Communication Bulletin Board.
「He said thousands. Winlard City was attacked by 300, wasn't it?」
Kazane nodded after Yumika's question. Even 300 caused an uproar. It was an impossible to believe number.
「Well, normally thinking, soldiers would be gathered from all over the country to subjugate them before such a large number could gather together and head for the royal capital, since even 100 gathering could normally make a few cities disappear.」
Benzel said. Ogres were a relatively common type of monster on the Philon continent, but they were very powerful from the point of view of ordinary human beings.
「It seems this story was heard from several adventurers who showed up at Resurrect City's Adventurers Guild on the Dragon Boat. The numbers they reported varied from several hundred to several thousand, but the detail about Ogres attacking was consistent.」
Hyvern and Minshiana were fairly distant from each other. So the information that came through the Dragon Boat was the fastest, but getting more accurate information was difficult.
「But even so, attacking the royal capital is impossible, isn't it?」
Louise groaned and said. Like Benzel said, no one noticing their approach before they reached the royal capital was impossible based on common sense.
「Louise-san, even if they were guided by a devil?」
Kazane asked.
「Maybe not several thousand, but a high ranking devil gathering monsters and controlling them might be possible. But there would be several towns and villages with watchhouses, as well as forts, before they reached the royal capital. Well, if they advanced on exactly the right route, they might be able to go unnoticed to a certain extent, but that's a little improbable.」
「Well, I can't say anything about whether it's true or not at this point, but a disturbance occurring seems to be a fact. We can go to the next city for now, and I'll continue to gather information there.」
「Yeah. Please.」
Also, there was no new information from Louise. Then Kazane and the others left Olboa City behind and headed for Param City, where there were hot springs, but Kazane witnessed an unbelievable thing there.\n
◎ Param City, Senure Hotel
「Ah, hot springs are the best. The water was really nice.」
「Truly. A place completely unrelated to anything like tonfas is the best.」
「We should burn it soon. That stick.」
When Kazane and the others checked in to the hotel, the Tonfa User Angus and his followers were in the lobby. It seemed they had just come out of the hot spring, since they were shirtless and had towels in their hands.
(Eh? Why are they here?)
Kazane's head was filled with question marks due to the appearance of those three figures.
Kazane last saw Angus in Dongol City. Hippomaru-kun currently had a speed limit of around 50 to 60 km/h, since the dragon mount Raiel had to keep up with them and had told her off. It was common sense in this world that the top speed of a carriage on a paved road was 20 km/h, with 30 km/h perhaps being possible using magic, so there should be no way to catch up with Kazane and the others, who could pass through two cities in two days, but…
「Yo, Chestle… no, Ogre Killing Princess.」
「Wait a second. What were you just about to say?」
「Eh, Chestless?」
Angus said calmly to Kazane's glare. Angus had no ill will and was simply restating his slip of tongue. 
「Aaah, this guy said it so bluntly!」
But Kazane had teary eyes after she was told that so bluntly. The wailing of her soul was reverberating from her mouth.
「Calm down, Chestless. It's been two days, hasn't it? Did you guys also come for the hot spring?」
「Stop saying Chestless! Why are you guys here?」
Angus turned to Doppo and George after Kazane's words.
「I was asked why. There's no need for that awfully threatening attitude just because I came to a hot spring, right?」
「Aniki, it's different. That flat girl is simply enraged due to Aniki's Chestless remark.」
「That's right. Telling a chestless woman she has no chest is incredibly rude. Aniki should treat women better.」\nAngus said「I see」after Doppo and George's words.
「So I'm still inexperienced? Skillfully dealing with women is difficult, unlike the tonfa.」
After saying that, Angus turned back to Kazane and said「Sorry?」
「Gugugugugugu」
Kazane was grinding her teeth with a vexed expression.
If this were a manga, Kazane would shout something like「Stop messing with me!」and attack him, but Kazane was a realistic girl. She didn't feel like becoming part of the violent heroine category. Besides, if the current Kazane attacked with a kick, an ordinary person would probably die. Well, the man in front of her didn't seem like he would die.
「A, anyway, li, li, like I asked, you guys should be in Dongol City, so how did you come here? Is there any need to talk about my chest?!!」
「None? Your chest」
「This idiotttt!!!」
Angus ignored Kazane's (from Angus' point of view) unreasonable insult like an adult and seriously answered Kazane's question.
「Well, we walked.」
「No way.」
She immediately replied.
「No, I hear that tonfa users have a special way of walking. Maybe this man used it?」
Jinrai said from behind as he came forward.
「Heh, Ossan. You're well-informed, aren't you?」
「Since I've fought with various people.」
「Well, I have that kind of technique as well. Since legs are the foundation of tonfa use.」
「Legs are the foundation of tonfa use?」
Kazane tilted her head, and Angus replied to her with a「That's obvious, isn't it?」expression.
「Naturally, right? Since the hands are occupied with holding the tonfas, only the legs are available to fight with, right?」\n\n(………Aneki's bright red face as she trembles in shame is cute)
They hadn't realized his feelings were like that.
The『Poker Face』Skill that Naoki had gained as a result of surviving the past three years was certainly useful.
