After that, there was a confidential meeting of Teacher and the Demon King for the purpose of capturing Tuban by the third division. Apparently, the commander is also decided, so I got busy suddenly.Ryun Height, where we currently are, is the closest from Tuban. Thatâs why, this city will become the relay base for the Tuban capture army.
I ordered the inujin troops to start the construction work in front of the forest outside the west gate.âItâs a place of rest for the soldiers tired from marching, just make it so to endure rain and wind! The rest doesnât matter!âEven if I say so myself, itâs a harsh statement, but there is not enough materials or personnel.
The main forces this time around are the jinba race. Their upper body is human and lower body is horse. Itâs the so-called centaurs. They are a troublesome group.What the trouble is that they require lodging houses of stable standard. Even if I let them inside the city, there is no place for them to stay. Because five hundred animalsâŚ. No, five hundred people will be coming.Therefore, in a hurry, I ordered the inujin military engineers to construct lodging house.
âYo, commander. There you were!âThe one that called me to halt is the blacksmith of werewolf troops, Jerik.He rushed up to me half naked, and showed me horseshoe.âBecause this is the size for jinbasâ use, the horse ones couldnât be used. I had no choice but to make it anew. How is this?ââEven if you ask me thatâŚâI held it in my hand, but I donât get it.âThere wouldnât be mistakes in your work. I leave it to you.ââAlright, then I will rush to make these. Donât put anything in my shift?ââI understand already.â
This time, itâs Faan-oneechan.âVaito-kun, what do the jinba race eat? Dry grass?ââWell, because the upper half is human, may be they donât eat dry grassâŚâ\n
Perhaps, they may eat, and that is the amazing thing about demons.Just in case, for each jinba soldier, two person worth of human food was scheduled to be prepared. Although itâs not as much a werewolf, but still they seem to eat well.
âWhat to do, I canât prepare that much meat.ââThe ones that go âmeat meatâ, are only us, the werewolves. Itâs fine to put in bread and dry fruit.ââUnderstood, I will prepare that.âFaan-oneechan hurriedly ran off.Since the common sense and ecology is different if the races are different, anyway itâs a big job.
When we are having troubles with this and that, an inujin guard comes running.âSomething is getting closer in the north gate! Around fifteen hundred!ââFifteen hundred?ââLooks like a cavalry!âItâs strange, considering the jinba troops, the numbers donât match.Immediately, I ordered the suspension of construction work, and made the inujin retreat inside the city.What is going on.
When I reached the north gate, I ordered to close the castle gate.I summon my underlings with a howling.Receiving the emergency summons, werewolves gathered at the northgate one by one.âVaito, isnât this the day for the reinforcements to arrive?ââFrom that direction, enemies wonât come, right?âTo the werewolves saying unanimously, I ask them to be vigilant just in case. It was also just like when Tuban volunteer troops came.
The ones getting closer certainly look like cavalry, but gradually their figures could be seen clearly.What, isnât it the jinba race after all. \nThe upper body is armor wearing soldier, and the lower body is horse of a size of a pony. Rather a brave appearance.Nonetheless, I feel uneasy about the numbers being different from the report.
And soon the jinba troops are aligned before the castle gate, and a little jinba soldier came forward from within.A jinba equipped with a short spear and a small shield, brandishing and swinging the spear shouts.âYa Ya I am the demon army third division aide, âViolent Runnerâ Fernel! Open the gate, open the ga~te!âItâs the voice of a girl.(TN: the second time, she says it cutely, Kaimon)
Since Fernel was the name I had heard, getting down from the castle walls, I greeted them. The anxious werewolves also follow in succession.âThis is third division Aide Vaito. Nice to meet you, is it?â(TN: Here nice to meet you is Hajimemashite, which is normally used if youâre meeting someone for the first time, thatâs why Vaito is confused if it was the first time they met)When I introduced myself, the girl of jinba race happily nodded.âHmm, nice to meet you! Although I am not a magician, I believe I am a disciple of Gomoviroa-sama! Please treat me well, senpai!ââO,oh.âSomehow the rhythm is amiss.(TN: She refers herself as âBokuâ, which is normally used by young boys, aka bokuonna)
It seems like there are no problems, so I guided them to the west forest.âSince there are no facilities for jinba race inside the city, I have prepared the camps here. Although itâs only for five hundred.ââEh, why is it only five hundred?âI explain, with a sigh, to the sullen looking Fernel.âBecause you didnât report the exact numbers.ââWell, the intention was to bring five hundred, however everyone said they want to came along⌠eheheâItâs not ehehe.
