Chapter 48
ED: Asami Kaname
Thats the problem, Saint Mildin-sama.
Thats wrong Thats not my name
The saint-sama with a gentle face look downward and whispering.
My real name is Lash a Senate member from the magician department
So Mildin is a stage name.
My family is poor, the Senate gives me the scholarship to learn magic. But in return, I need to work in the senate. Thats all
I understand, so dont cry.
It seems that she was struggling with this as well.
I understand that you didnt have a choice, but do you understand what will happen if you get exposed as a fake hero?
Ah, yes
Mildin, no Lash, nodded her head.
Thats why in case it gets exposed, they make a plan and a special place to make hero Ranhart as if he was dead in action
Is it okay like that?
If the popularity of the hero is too high and bigger than the senate, the important people of the senate will be in trouble too.
For them to include a place to die in their plan, thats scary.
Ah, of course, its not really dead in action. They said about challenging the demon king to death and then retired. After that, there will be a lot if ceremonies and speech that will boost the morale
I see. They will say dont let the heros death in vain or something like that.
I nodded with a complicated feeling, then Lash look up into my eyes.
Ano
What?
Were they strong?
The girl was talking about the 3 people that I killed before.
If I knew that the hero is a fake, I could use it without killing it. But even so, that situation was really dangerous.
Even though they are too reliant with their magic weapon, but that guy has definitely mastered that weapon. If that weapon was wielded by a small fry, then they will certainly cant touch me.
Even though they are an enemy, they are definitely a good warrior.
So, I need to give an honest answer at least.
If I make a single mistake, I will die right now. Its certainly because of the magic weapon, but even without that weapon, they are really first-rate warriors. I wished my subordinate can be like that
I see Im so glad
She made a sigh of relief and Lash stroked her chest.
From the beginning, those three cant make such resolution. But at that time they always said they want to die as a real hero
Please stop it, my guilty feeling is ready to explode at any moment.
By the way, that guys real name isnt Ranhart, right? I kinda forgot if that guy was Ranhart or not.
Yes. Ranhart is using a substitution system, all members have a body double. Its a countermeasure for an unforeseen killed in action
They really make a hero.
Thats why the Senate is looking very impatient.
Lash calmly said something.
Those three are really kind, they are good people. It was short, but its really fun to spend time together with them
Even though they are good people, they are still our enemy. In the first place, at the time when all of you had a great time, a lot of our comrades got killed.
My mouth cant say it, but it seems it shows at my expression.
Lash suddenly change her expression, and lowered her head to me.
I, Im so sorry. We are, your enemy after all
No, its okay. For us, they are a detestable enemy, but for you, they are precious comrades. Even me, a demon accessory, for you and your comrades, we are an enemy too right? (Tn: its like he is saying that he is nothing for the demon.)
Because of that, Lash makes a curious face and tilt her head.
Accessory?
Yup, Accessory. In this big demon army, Im just an aide after all
With a curious face, Lash searched something in her bag and take out a scrap of paper.
Ano, here. This is the arranged issue document from the Senate
Hnn?
[The ruler of werewolf Vaito] 70000 silver coin.
What is this
I make a full retort.
In the first place Theres no one who returns alive after fighting him or Bitten person will become a werewolf is really weird right? I will not bite when Im in battle.
When I make a complicated feeling because of that document, Lash sees me, panics and makes an excuse.
Aaa, we know Vaito-san is the supreme leader of demon army is based on that. I didnt mean to offend you
No, well, thats okay. But even so, I want to meet with the guy who wrote this
This is why the rumor piled up like that.
I wonder can he added something like refreshing ikemen here? I want to see that no matter what.
Lash took my word in a different meaning and became frightened a lot.
I, Im so, Im so sorry since a long time ago I cant read the situation very well
I certainly think like that too. Perhaps I pull a wrong lottery here.
Even so, my bounty is 70000 silver coins. If in this world 1 or 2 silver coin is enough to live for one day, then I will become rich easily for 100 years if I spend only 700 silver coin/years.
I want to pretend to be dead and tell someone to take the bounty.
If I look closely, theres also our demon official Ailia-dono bounty here.
[Betrayal viceroy Ailia Ryutte Aindrof] 100.000 silver coin
So that girl is a talented noble-sama and now, theres this array of deprived qualification. With all of this qualification has been deprived, now its not just disguised as a beautiful woman.
It looks like she got so much curse. She even got more bounty than me, a demon.
She may already know about it, but Ill tell her later.
Leaving that aside, what should I do now with Lash.
Do you want to go back to the Senate?
I want to go back, but if I return, they will beat me and execute me
Well, of course, it will be like that.
It cant be helped, lets take care of her until the end.
So, do you want to live at Lune height? With your skill, its okay if you want me to employ you for demon army
The, then I want that, please
Lash as the former fake saint Mildin, bowed and lowered her head to me.
When theres a sign of war at northern frontier will be prolonged, Lune height citizen from here and there start to return. Those who migrate failed to find a place to live and they went back bit by bit.
Please hear this, Vaito-san
A citizen came to the window teller at 1st floor of Viceroy hall, and a bunch of citizens who wore traveling clothes came to talk to me.
Those guys, they said because Im from Lune height, they treated me as if Im a member of the demon army! Please look at that cart!
Because he said that, I looked at the cart, there are 2 arrows sticking there.
They shot me from the castle wall! And they said for me to quickly disappear
Ah that was very unfortunate
All Lune height trade merchants can manage that with bribery or pull some connection, but its different for a normal citizen.
Nevertheless, its not good to give a threat by shooting.
Those guys, please destroy them immediately!
Which ally are you?
With such situation, it looks like Lune height immigrants arent welcome too much. More than one hundred passed away, and more than half of that number coming back.
There are some people who still seek a place to emigrate, there are some unfortunate people who die at the roadside, and there are a few citizens who looked like they managed to safely migrate.
The citizens who came back from various places have lots of information. But, well, theres a lot of prejudice mixed in there.
They will be given a house if they will restore the field for demon army, and they cry when they know that.
Thank you, thank you so much if we didnt come here, maybe we will be wandering that desert forever seriously, thank you very much
For Lune height, we will never abandon a Lune height citizen. Please dont worry, its okay now
After hearing my reply, they cried and nodded so many times.
Thank you Vaito-san! So please quickly destroy them!
Its because of your personality that they refuse to accept immigrants
