43 Episode 43

Around the time my expression hardened, Diana Seldin, who still didn't know the circumstances, was making a puzzled face.

“… … It's an extremely dubious story. Something that is provided for free?

There can be no such thing.”

“… … and. It's really suspicious.”

“I thought you would feel the same way, aside from Dia.”

Rather, if you give it to me for free, come!

Doesn't it look like you're excited and ready to eat it?

“What are you talking about? The village elders did. If you get anything for free, you'll be cheated out of it later.”

“… … The people of your home village are suffering a lot.”

In any case, their impressions were not extremely wrong.

However, the villagers are already not even thinking about that.

“Maybe you’re lying?”

“You can see it. It looks like they have no intention of hiding anything.”

In the first place, isn't it something that Grigori or something recommended to brag about proudly?

“Looks like he’s handing us a new convenience just now.”

And since the day they go is market day, it seems that the dubious rationing is being done now.

“Hoo? Is the person who gave you these things here?”

“Can you see?”

don't mind

what? Is it simple self-promotion?

Or does it have some other purpose? Anyway, it's a good opportunity. I willingly asked to take a look.

“Arell? Are you okay?”

“Dia. I'll say it for now, but don't do anything unless there's something particularly dangerous. Even if it's a little suspicious, ignore it.”

“… … Are you okay?”

“You don’t have to hold onto it as long as you look at it. … … No, if you try to catch it, you will be wrong.”

And on the other hand, there is another way to think about it.

After that, the village chief guided us freely and took us to the central square of the village.

“Here it is!”

It seems that most of the villagers are gathered to see if there really is something.

Literally a suspicious assembly.

” Come this way.”

Guided by the village chief, we sneakily joined the ranks and watched the situation with bated breath.

A boy is shouting something on a podium made of moderately stacked marbles.

“… … Who is that child?”

“That child first introduced us to Grigori.”

The village chief explained with emotion.

“haha. At that time, everyone didn't believe it, so instead, they scolded that child again. Of course, that word came out soon after.”

“After that, that child contacted him as a representative?”

“Right. As his errand boy, I have the role of delivering messages or something. ah… … It starts.”

And a change happened. Something like a scarlet shadow rose from behind the boy.

No face, no expression. A scarlet shadow that is just a voice.

“That’s him.”

I watched without replying otherwise. Dia is also watching more quietly than usual.

[ruler? It seems that I enjoyed the blessings of my technical skills and knowledge to my heart's content today.]

The shadow's voice resonated resoundingly. There is no facial expression, but instead, as if expressing emotions with gestures, he continues talking while moving his arms, shoulders, and head in a rather pleasant way.

And the villagers even put their palms together as if to enshrine something sacred.

It reminds me of religion.

… … But is it not God's grace or miracles that are being given, but materials and technology?

For the time being, I continued to watch quietly.

[I am overjoyed. ruler. Thanks to your sincere cooperation, my life is improving even today.]

“?????? Cooperation?”

“He has done many things for us, and he only asks for one thing in return.”

Is it like a price? But, to hear it, it was really absurd.

“It’s a feeling.”

“???? enjoy?”

Instead of receiving something from him, write a long sentence as much as possible.

If you don't know how to write, someone you know in the village can write for you.

Sometimes it seems that he takes the unknown medicine he gives, but it seems like nothing special.

“What if I don’t follow?”

“There is nothing special. It's just that you've lost his trust, and you'll never get anything from him again.”

It's not life-threatening, and it's not dangerous. There's no reason not to cooperate.

‘You've been very kind... …

Watching still, I glared at the shadow.

Undoubtedly.

The question is, how do I get it to come off?

I could expose it, but I don't want to come forward yet. I need someone else.

Then there's the guy who's just right for you. That's why I brought it on purpose.

“Perhaps I wonder if he is not a human but a god.”

“… … yes? Are you a normal human being?”

muttering blankly.

Seldin said what he meant.

“now… … What did you say?”

“no… … You are human.”

Unlike the others, Seldin can properly hear the other person's identity.

Unlike others, she has the ability to accept the essence of things by directly accepting and replacing the information of objects into the brain through the passage of mana.

I haven't been able to use it properly yet, so I'm training, but it's definitely a powerful skill.

“In that shadow… … Are you saying that the connected person is a person?”

In fact, I can't figure out how the truth feels to that kid.

As for that specialty, neither I nor the other reincarnated people have it.

But it helps.

Even if it's not me, I can take on the role of revealing the other person's identity.

“human?… ”

“Human?”

Agitated chatter. Not just confusion, but a feeling close to hostility.

‘ruler… … How will he come out?'

A being who stabbed his identity entered. Eyes gather.

And even the guy who thinks it's Grigori is looking this way.

Shall I laugh? or not?

[…] … Unfortunately, it seems that there are people who don't appreciate your happiness.]

His voice sank. It wasn't chattering cheerfully like before, but trembling slightly as if on alert.

like afraid.

“What do you mean by that?”

Naturally, those who depended entirely on him shuddered as the daylight changed.

Is the range of reliance on that suspicious voice wider than I thought... … .

The atmosphere is not very good. Judging from my experience so far, it won't be the time to pretend like others do.

“… … Mr. Arell.”

Dia seemed to think the same, so she looked around as if she was slightly nervous.

However, the youngster said, ‘What happened?.' I tilt my head with the feeling of doing it. I am a child who is worried about the future... … .

“… … Get ready.”

I, too, gave instructions, and immediately and at the same time, the voice pointed in our direction.

[Unfortunately, those are the ones who will harm your comfort! iced coffee!

How did such people come in?]

It was like they explicitly declared us as harmful people.

Naturally, the hostility of the villagers who trusted him was enough to turn against us.

“Did you cheat?”

“… … I've never been cheated on No, I don't believe anything you say before that.”

As he said, no matter what excuses we make, it will be meaningless. The hostility is already on this side, and only that bastard's voice will be heard by them.

[They belong to the powerful who don't care about how you live.]

He shouted as if he recognized us. It would also be deliberate not to disclose his name.

‘Just kidding... …

However, the situation is not good for bitter laughter.

The villagers completely believe what he said. Among them, there are those who exude a rather disturbing atmosphere.

“… … What can I do?”

“Haam? What should I do?”

But apart from the situation, I leisurely looked around.

Annoying, but not a crisis.

In the first place, even if I was alone, it wouldn't be harmful. A level that was annoying even from Dia's point of view.

Ah, the child is different. Now I notice and I'm shaking. What a fresh response. After all, this is why beginners are brought in.

‘Anyway, if you insist on inciting me without knowing what to do, do you want to kick me out?'

In short, it would mean that if I were there, I would be nothing but a hindrance.

[ruler. Everyone, hurry up and kick out the disturbing person.]

And as the guy gave explicit instructions, the villagers approached this way.

“Don’t resent me. … … Is this for our village?”

“People who say that are beaten as a group and run out.”

“… … What are you talking about?”

Well, there's no way this kind of joke would work against them. I don't want to lose my strength for nothing, and I don't have the heart to hurt them.

They are just being used.

“Let’s step back.”

“yes. Come this way.”

As if the preparations had already been completed, Dia casually wrapped her arm around my waist. oh.

And Seldin also grabbed Dia at once and she flew right up.

Not using teleport is because the village barrier itself has the effect of disturbing spatial perception.

At least I'll write it after I get out of here.

“… … It's all good, but do I really have to hold onto it like this? How old am I... …

“Aren’t you okay?”

Well, I'm not moving, so let's not complain.

“Come after me!”

Seldin looked down and screamed.

Indeed, the villagers are relentlessly chasing after them. Did Dia already know that she couldn't handle it on her own when she used her magic?

“Have you been brainwashed? or not… …

Is there a corner where you can be confident otherwise?

You'll find out soon anyway.

The villagers aim at something.

“crossbow?”

What a very common weapon. However, the object embedded in the arrowhead of the crossbow is quite interesting.

“Block it.”

” yes.”

Needless to say, Dia spreads her magic and puts up a barrier.

The slender arrows that were shot come flying.

And the arrows that collided soon fade away, causing various phenomena such as burning or freezing.

“… … It seems that the basic attack magic formula has been planted.”

“I wonder if it will be roughly as powerful as Class 2… … It's too much to give it to ordinary people.”

“What are you looking at calmly!”

The kid on the verge of fainting.

well this is fine but… … .

“I even attacked. … … Enough of this.”

Dia's tone of voice subsided slightly.

Clearly, this is their karma. You don't need to watch the attack more than once.

Considering that this place is under the jurisdiction of another country, there is nothing strange in thinking that it is necessary to punish them somewhat.

“Give up.”

However, I firmly instructed them not to fight back.

“… … but.”

“I told you. They know nothing.”

Even their hostility seems to be driven by agitation.

They don't even know what they're doing.

“We are the ones hiding here.

I don't mind leaving more traces than necessary. Or was I the one who ordered them all to be exterminated just because some stones were flying?”

“… … It wasn't. Then let’s just focus on escaping.”

Dia put aside the counterattack and focused on escaping from here.

“… … To be so blatantly agitated... … He... … It seems to be determined.”

I sighed deeply as I recalled the voice that incited my hostility.

It seems that he hides and sleeps and has no intention of doing anything anymore.

then… … .

“I don't think there's anything to notice here either.”

It wasn't too hard to get rid of after that. After the villagers who were chasing us retreated.

“Release… …

Dia lightly flicked her wand, and the camouflage membrane that hid us was lifted.

“what? Because they are ordinary villagers.

You can’t see through this.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

“… … I wonder if my common sense is strange because you two are so calm.”

“Don't worry. You'll get used to it.”

Life is all like that.

If you want to achieve great success, it is an experience to be in a position to be chased once or twice.

“Well, I prefer to chase after you.”

“… … I would like to decline both.”

I laughed bitterly at the common sense person's fresh reaction and thought about what to do for a while.

Shall we go back?

I did check.

… … or not.

‘Should I step on his tail?' How
