Alright, its a success. (Wendelin)
Are you again experinting on a new seasoning? (Hermann)
A little less than 3 months passed since I ca to this Bauister territory.
I, who got out of bed today at the sa ti as usual, was taking my breakfast in the living room of the mansion.
As Im sitting on the chair of the master, there is Paul-nii-san, whos the manager of the guards, and Hermann-nii-san, who ca to the mansion on business, on both sides.
Also, Erw and Ottr-sans group are sitting in their respective seats.
The maid, Dominique, Elise, Ina, Luise and Wilma are in charge of cooking and serving the food.
If this scene was publicly shown in the Heisei Japan of my previous life, without doubt there would be complaints tossed at by all those, who call themselves feminists.
However, in this world this is an accepted practise.
, who is a Baron and the master of this mansion, Paul-nii-san, who is currently an appointed Knight and Hermann-nii-san, who is our guest, are sitting at the high-ranking seats.
Erw, who is the Junior Commander, Ottr-san, who is planned to beco the Junior Commander of Paul-nii-san, and the other guards are sitting on the adjoining seats.
Its not a question whether thats good or bad. This is simply common sense and thus it should be only who is pondering about this.
The difference in seating order is dictated by the social position, but if I recall it now, even at the year-end party of my company in my previous life the big-wigs were seated at the head of the table.
It might only be the difference between being great as person with a high social standing or being great as noble.
I feel like even I finally got used to sitting at the seat of honor every ti.
Wend, whats this? (Paul)
Its a new product, Paul-nii-san. (Wendelin)
Are you developing rchandise even at this place? (Paul)
During his ti as guard in the royal capital, Paul-nii-san had known for a fact that I was inventing seasoning and cooking during my stay in the capital.
There is also the matter of having given him a few tis a complintary ticket for the shop managed by Artur-san. It seems he went there to eat taking his subordinates along once in a while.
Its a new friend of mayonnaise! (Wendelin)
Again? (Erwin)
Well, then it ans that Erw wont get any. (Wendelin)
The new product looks delicious. (Erwin)
For Erw a noble, who concentrates on cooking and seasoning, might cause a feeling of anxiety.
But with only this much, it was impossible for him stop since this is my hobby.
So, will you put it up for sale again? (Paul)
For now its only a prototype. If you included the production costs, it would wouldnt be payable easily (Wendelin)
This tis prototype was my favorite food from my previous life, ntaimayonnaise.
The way to make it is simple, but the problem is in the point whether cod roe is existing in this world.
As a matter of fact there are trouts, who go up streams due to the mild climate, called Southern Sea Trout in the rivers of the Savage Lands, thus it was possible to obtain salmon roe from there.
Im constantly preserving these within the magic bag being properly pickled in soy sauce.
And although there was cod roe, I have confird that it is eaten in the north.
Imdiately I decided to order it at the fish dealer managed by the family of the female staff mber, who works at the Sorcery Guild and who beca my acquaintance so ti ago, but with the fish eggs, including cod roe as well, being a local delicacy and with the costs for transport and import taxes being ridiculously high, it ended up having an expensive price.
Furthermore, this cod roe is indispensable for making mustard-seasoned cod roe.
As result of requesting this from the fish dealer, the price turned out to be even more expensive than curry powder.
However, its a great idea youve co up with. (Paul)
Certainly. Especially if you consider the contents of the als of our familys ho (Hermann)
Although neither Paul-nii-sans nor Hermann-nii-sans expression of curiosity broke apart, the reason for being well-accustod to such things as making seasoning was owed to my work in my previous life.
Tentatively it was a trading company with a known na, but we were treated as second-rate by the industry, which had elite employees receiving orders for infrastructure projects with a big amount of money involved after having negotiated with the local governnts overseas and who was constructing cutting-edge industrial plants.
Such farming-like story was the primary reason for us being weak.
After I finished the training as new employee, I was assigned to the departnt mainly in charge of buying up things related to foodstuffs.
Furthermore, with being primarily responsible for local foodstuff, I occasionally directly went to locally producing farrs and fishing harbors to test the ingredients.
I offered these to manufacturers and stores where these were needed.
I didnt realize that a mber of a trading company as imagined by society might be a slightly different existence. At least I think that I was dealing with many ingredients used for high-quality products.
Even the clients were soy sauce warehouses,misostorehouses and sake breweries, who were fixated on the traditional way of manufacturing.
It was small to dium food companies making products by only utilizing good-quality native ingredients.
Naturally, in relation to making deals with the people of such companies, its impossible to say that you dont know basic way of manufacturing.
I learned those by studying and experience.
Anyway, there were many moody people among the artisans and managers fussing about the techniques of the makers in this way.
During my ti as newcor I invoked their anger by exposing my stupidity and the deals were snatched away by rivaling companies. There was also the experience of getting yelled at by my superior close to losing all my vigor.
Since Im even now persisting in gathering experience on how to cook during my off-days as it is my hobby and a process of learning, I dont know whether it has proven to be fortunate for my life.
At any rate, lets sample it. (Wendelin)
With wanting to test the taste, I imdiately put the ntaimayonnaise on top of cooked rice and sample it after that.
Even everyone else began to sample it by putting it on cooked rice and bread.
Delicious. (Paul)
Ah, gradually my tongue is indulging in luxury. (Hermann)
If it was only cod roe, it wouldnt match with cooked rice, but if itsntaimayonnaise, it will even fit with bread.
Even in my previous life I made it for trial purposes given that it was usually sold in bakeries.
However, I think it fits best with cooked rice after all. Its probably because my inside is that of a Japanese person.
Thanks to cod roe being imported good, the production cost was high, but if its the current , anythings possible.
I dont even have any intention to stop eating als with cooked rice. I don want to eat the dry and crumbling brown bread eaten in the Bauister territory anymore.
Certainly this ans that my tongue beca accustod to extravagance.
By the way, although the talks have veered off, will you go to inspect the Savage Lands today? (Hermann)
Yes, I want to advance the developnt special ward. (Wendelin)
I answer with a Yes to Hermann-nii-sans question.
Given that its a secret agreent, no one opens their mouth, but it has already beco the prescribed course of disinheriting Kurt and having Hermann-nii-san inherit after father.
Besides, as compensation for his cooperation, it will beco possible for Hermann-nii-san to at least obtain the title of Baron with his allocation of the Savage Lands and it has been decided that he will receive help in developing that soil.
On this occasion I considered to carry out an inspection of the location as it will border in the neighborhood of my territory.
I see. However, the lot from the central governnt is scary. (Hermann)
Thats the world we live in. There is no other way but to call that common sense. (Wendelin)
Once again Burkhart-sans figure couldnt be seen, but recently he has been always monitoring Kurt.
Also, he has been called to go report to Margrave Breithilde before, though I sent him with teleportation.
It seed that he had been given a magic tool for communication at that ti.
There are only few people who currently use this magic tool, which is known as portable communication device and cellphone in my previous life. It was an item discovered in historic ruins with quite the high ratio of being common.
Originally it takes quite a bit ti and labor to produce it. Since the majority of the produced items had been seized by the military and governnt offices, it doesnt co around often to a countryside noble, even if he is an important noble.
Of course its not possible to asure its worth. The matter of him entrusting it to Burkhart-san was proof of the situation in the Bauister territory to have gathered the attention of the nobles.
Kurt-aniki wants to be the leader of this territory, including the Savage Lands. I guess he wanted to inherit it. (Hermannl)
Such a pipe dream. (Wendelin)
He likely thought it would be possible, if he exploited it from Wend. Thanks to that, it turned out like this. (Paul)
As Paul-nii-san says, because of the secret activity of Burkhart-san, who is capable of locating the current position of his opponent due to minuscule quantity of mana, all of Kurt sides movents were leaked to us.
Just three days ago it seems that they held an assembly gathering only the influential people of the main village.
That eting, huh ? (Hermann)
Have you been aware of it, Hermann-aniki? (Paul)
You also heard about it only by rumors, I guess, Paul? (Hermann)
I have heard of it, but only as sort of previously arranged eting. Theres nothing but disagreeableness, if you go by what the folks of the other villages say. (Paul)
Well, dont say that. It was a plenty useful eting back in the old days. (Hermann)
At the ti when the reclamation of the Bauister territory just begun it was a valid policy by the ruling Bauister household to treat the main village favorably.
Being in the sticks, where you cant expect any support from sowhere else, for the feudal lords household to have a firm grip on preserving its sovereignty, there was no other way if they wanted to avoid their downfall due to a rebellion.
However, it has beco ill-fit for the current tis. Even I wasnt allowed to attend until I beca the head of the branch family. Even if only a few of their wishes co true, they will profit. That lot is only producing petitions with unreasonable demands. (Hermann)
Also, as the majority of the mbers attending the eting are old people, the cause for the eting has apparently beco obsolete.
The elder have been thinking that its fine for them to continue their lives of favorable treatnt in the current main village until they die.
Therefore, when Hermann-nii-san suggested a proposal on how to not discriminate in the treatnt of the three villages, they ended up laughing scornfully.
Also, if Kurt beca the de-facto proxy working as feudal lord, it would result in the craftsn of his generation participating in that eting.
Hermann-nii-san apparently expected a reformation due to the new generation, but the fact is that they are attached to their vested rights, no different from the elder lot, and were only advocating the favorable treatnt of the main village.
Even Kurt-aniki laughed at it with Immature idealistic thoughts. What do you think, Wend? (Hermann)
In short-term the maintaining of the status quo is effective. In long-term, wont it be the first step to a slow decline? (Wendelin)
Right. Thats what I think too. (Hermann)
Above not being able to develop the peculiar Savage Lands, it will beco a suicidal act to increase the population of this territory in the future.
If it becos like that, the young people will naturally leave the territory, if the lot of the main village gets favorable treatnt.
Or maybe they will do sothing like forcing the troubleso second and third sons of the main villages population on the families in other villages that have only daughters? (Wendelin)
They will definitely refuse that, no? (Hermann)
There is the possibility of the Bauister household forcing it by commanding it. (Wendelin)
Additionally, there was also the possibility of them confiscating newly cultivated land for the sake of benefiting the main village, which would result in the declined villages becoming victims.
As expected, going that far (Hermann)
The money for cultivating new land is given out by the Bauister household though. (Wendelin)
No, the labor has been put in by the fiefs population though (Hermann)
Or rather, if they did such thing, the inhabitants of the declined villages would get disgusted and leave.
I wonder how they are planning to develop the Savage Lands this ti?
As I said. They are holding onto the dream of If we develop the Savage Lands, any generation after that will at least be an Earl. As for concrete plans, they dont really know well. (Hermann)
There is. Arent they saving funds and want to exploit money from Wend? (Paul)
Hermann-nii-san as well as Paul-nii-san were shocked by Kurt, who doesnt ntion anything but vague plans such as If I beco the feudal lord, our sovereignty will be firm and I will beco a great feudal lord by developing the Savage Lands in the future without fail.
Even the kids around here can say such things, if its only at this level.
With that quite a few inhabitants will follow him, right? (Wendelin)
No, because of that he lost followers, I heard. (Hermann)
And at this point Burkhart-san makes his appearance.
It looks like he has taken a break from monitoring Kurt and co here to grab so food.
It seems that a considerable number of his supporters have been stripped away by you, boy. (Burkhart)
If you beco a veteran magician of Burkhart-sans degree, its simple to do sothing like monitoring your target while erasing your presence with magic.
If the opponent is skilled, there will also be a high possibility to be spotted, but Kurts skill in martial arts is at the level of giving a good fight or below that.
Since there isnt anyone excelling at that field even among his followers either, its easy to investigate their movents.
However, the eting three days ago (Wendelin)
I have succeeded at luring away the craftsn group beforehand and thus only the blacksmith, with whom I got into a dispute previously, has attended the eting.
Even for the wealthy farrs, it seems that only half of them ended up attending.
Its probably because many of them suddenly want to curry favour with you too, boy. Even that lot has likely a guilty conscience. (Burkhart)
Huh!? And then? (Wendelin)
I only made a few little rumours here and there. It has been in the style of Even god doesnt know who will beco the head in the current situation, right? But that is after all a problem of the authorities, I guess? Though I think you would be able to profit in the end, if you proclaid your neutrality here. (Burkhart)
Even the folks from the main village have realized that it isnt advantageous for anyone to unreasonably support Kurt in the inferior position he is now.
However, they also have a problem with abruptly betraying him in this situation.
They wont have to choose to support either side if they beco neutral and thus they have decided to handle it in this way.
If Kurt is disinherited, it will likely trigger things like readjusting the land of the main village.
And as they didnt attend the eting, that person probably considered it a betrayal and not neutrality. (Wendelin)
Im not concerned as to what that man is thinking. (Burkhart)
How ecil. (Wendelin)
Though you say that, three months have already passed, too. Even my master and the important folks from the central governnt are getting impatient. (Burkhart)
It seems they want to begin the developnt quickly even if its a day earlier.
However, given that we are actually struggling at the actual location, their real opinion was that they dont care about the situation itself.
But, he likely cant refuse any longer since today. (Burkhart)
Umm what do you an by that? (Wendelin)
After the eting Kurt ca in contact with a person from outside. (Burkhart)
From outside? (Wendelin)
According to Burkhart-sans information, Kurt apparently got in contact with soone from outside in the forest in the back of the main familys mansion at night.
If you ask why he knows that, going by the spying on the movents of the detected fellow, it was obviously the movents of a professional adventurer.
Besides, its impossible for people from outside to co as far as here if they dont use teleportation unless they are professional adventurers. (Burkhart)
I wonder for what reason they contacted that person? (Wendelin)
Usually it likely for inspiring sothing bad. The proof for that is the currently severe mountain path. (Burkhart)
For Burkhart-san, who didnt restrain that adventurer three days ago, my safety is the primary concern.
It looks like he has already reported it to Margrave Breithilde.
Although it is more exhausting to climb that steep mountain path in January, it is still manageable to reach the exit. Its easy to imagine on whose order he is moving about. (Burkhart)
Speaking of nobles trying to contact Kurt even once, there isnt anyone but that persons younger brother after all.
If they got so evidence, it will cause Finance Minister Rckner to have a big debt towards Margrave Breithilde.
Its a troubleso story, right? (Wendelin)
No, what are you talking about? Its a link to establish independence as local noble. (Burkhart)
So, has that person started sothing today? (Wendelin)
Once I considered whether that adventurer has lent his hand in an assassination as well, I returned right away. If we assu that its possible (Burkhart)
It was a man prepared by a client. He might have received sothing like a magic tool, is what Burkhart-san says.
Since that person has been cornered, theres no other way but to use such a person, if he aims to turn the tables with a single successful attack.
Well, isnt it dangerous to go on an inspection then? (Wendelin)
Possibly, though that likelihood is exceedingly low. (Burkhart)
While there might be a magic tool obtained by illegal ans, it doesnt necessarily an that its possible to achieve the objective this easily.
I think that the black market managed by the criminal guild has been used as source. If you dont pay a large amount of money to to a leader at that place, who has connections, you wont be able to get your hands on a magic tool that is capable of killing you, boy. (Burkhart)
Most of them is stuff like There is a possibility of getting a magic tool with aweso power, but the probability for that is around 10%?. It seems there are many folks palming those off cheaply for around 10% of their original market price.
Also, if they caused a totally different effect than explained, it was possible to get cursed yourself instead of the opponent you planned to curse.
Even if the purchaser makes complaints, the other party is the criminal guild. If they appeal to the guards, it will be hopeless to not ntion the fact of having bought illegal items themselves in the first place.
To put it simply, its nothing an amateur will get involved with. The guys, who say that they already understood and dabble in it a bit, will get burned. (Burkhart)
Instead, if you pay the legitimate price by using legal connections, you will be able to obtain items that havent been available through public sources at first.
Of course you will have to pay a large amount of money for those.
That is the place called black market.
Does Rckners younger brother have connections to that black market? (Wendelin)
Maybe he has, maybe he hasnt. Even with an official position attached, if its at the level of an appointed Baron (Burkhart)
Besides, theres also the problem of having to pay a large amount of money.
If you want to obtain a moderate item, its necessary to pay at least 5.000.000 cents.
I have decided to ignore the question why Burkhart-san knows about such matters.
Even with Rckners younger brother preparing a magic tool of that degree, the possibility of it killing you is low, boy. (Burkhart)
Does that an that the inspection is a bait, to sum it up? (Wendelin)
Thats how it is, I think. I will also accompany you on the inspection. There are just the right helpers here as well (Burkhart)
At the sa ti as Burkhart-san says that, a sound as if so teorite has fallen can be heard from outside the mansion.
As everyone went to see whats going on outside in a rush, that person nonchalantly stood in the vacant land in front of the mansion.
Doushi? (Wendelin)
Putting doushi-sama aside, next to him! Besides him! (Paul)
Even for Paul-nii-san its not unreasonable to be shocked.
Anyway, next to the landed doushi there was the figure of a flying dragon with its head being miserably smashed in a single blow.
Except a part of the mountain path, the mountain range has beco the habitat of flying dragons and wyvrens.
Probably doushi had a magician, who is capable of teleportation and stationed at the royal castle, sent him up to Breitburg. From there he likely broke through the sky of the mountain range with high-speed flight.
I guess that the pitiful flying dragon next to him obstructed doushis flight route and ended up getting defeated because of that.
It was pleasant to use long-distance, high-speed flight after a long ti, but since that flying dragon hindered my field of vision I simply crushed it! Given that I will be in your care for a short while, its fine to take it as present instead of a souvenir! (Armstrong)
Since the flying dragon had only its head smashed, this degree of present was too much for doushis lodging expenses.
Say, Wend (Hermann)
He is Viscount Armstrong-dono, the Royal Head Magician. (Wendelin)
A royal magician is that powerful (Hermann)
Its not unreasonable for Hermann-nii-san to be surprised either.
The great number of flying dragons and wyvrens inhabiting the mountain range are beings reigning at the top of this areas ecosystem.
Of course the inhabitants of the Bauister territory are helpless beings where dragons are concerned. They didnt approach the mountain range.
The only exception is the rchant group travelling along the mountain path.
Several years after the founder of the Bauister household immigrated to this land, around 10 local n entered the mountain range saying Wont the territorys funds profit, if we sell the raw materials of the subjugation?
The result, needless to say, apparently was only three of them, including the founder, returning.
Since then no group appeared that wanted to do sothing like hunting flying dragons to earn money.
Ooh! Arent you Baron Bauisters elder brother-dono!? Even Im proud to have that much power. If its a flying dragon of this level, there are several people here who can defeat it though. (Armstrong)
Err That ans (Hermann)
, Burkhart-san, Luise and Wilma. If its a single flying dragon or wyvren, we can usually defeat it.
Even Erw and Ina should be able to at least kill a single wyvren, if they fight together.
How is Kurt-aniki aiming to reverse the tables? (Hermann)
No idea? Maybe that magic tool or whatever is a terribly great item.
No, if its Kurt-anikis connections and assets, he definitely wont be able to obtain sothing like that! (Hermann)
At any rate, if its like this, theres no change in the state of affairs either.
We have decided to execute the plan to lure out Kurt at the Savage Lands under the pretext of an inspection.
By the way, theres still ti for breakfast! (Armstrong)
I will prepare it at once, okay? (Elise)
With even doushi joining in, there shouldnt be any chance for Kurts plan to flip the tables to succeed in the first place.
There was the matter of going on the inspection with a peace of mind, but a single, big problem popped up here.
This is ntaimayonnaise, huh!? I certainly want a large amount of this as well! (Armstrong)
All of the high-priced ntaimayonnaise, which I made as prototype in the morning, has ended up being eaten away.
Doushi-sama, you are eating quite well. (Wilma)
Uh huh! the appearance of a rival, huh!? (Armstrong)
Wilma, who was late for breakfast due to serving as waitress, tries to eat a large amount and ends up burning with the fla of rivalry for so reason.
Second serving, it is! (Armstrong)
Second serving. (Wilma)
Because of those two an outrageous amount of rice, bread, at and vegetables have vanished in one go.
I win. (Wilma)
Nooo~~~! Next ti for sure! (Armstrong)
(Are you a child ?) (Wendelin)
And, before anyone noticed an eating contest between doushi and Wilma began.
The result was Wilmas victory. Doushi was vexed about this as if he was a child.
Or rather, it was nothing but reckless for a normal human to oppose a person with hero syndro in the amount of food.
POV Kurt
Umm Kurt-sama. (Eckhart)
What is it, Eckhart? (Kurt)
Sohow I obtained the information that Wendelins group will be heading to the Savage Lands for an inspection today.
With the location being quite deep inside, there shouldnt be any issues with using the aforentioned Flute of a dragon tar or similar if its there.
This ti there will be 5 guys accompanying .
Eckhart, who has his back against the wall just like , and four relatively old, wealthy farrs.
All of them are folks, who have supported the Bauister territory before Wendelin ca.
All of them participated in my plan wearing armour, sword and spear used at the ti of being called for war.
In the beginning I considered to act by myself in order to carry out my sche secretly.
With this number of people the wild animals of the Savage Lands would be a threat, if we didnt prepare at least this much.
Will sothing like an assassination really be successful? (Eckhart)
It will work. If its this Flute of a dragon tar. (Kurt)
Certainly, Wendelin is possessing magic with a frightening power.
But, he shouldnt win against the force of numbers, no matter what kind of guy he is.
The Flute of a dragon tar will summon the flying dragons and wyvrens in the vicinity.
If it calls the large amount of dragons living at that mountain range, even Wendelin shouldnt survive it.
Will it also be alright to tear off such large amount of dragons from their monster domain? (Eckhart)
We will be fine. (Kurt)
Ermm That is, in other words (Eckhart)
As usual, he is a stupid man bad at guessing.
As blacksmith he is second-rate and even as retainer he is second-rate.
Oh well, he might hang on in order to not be discarded for his incompetent thods.
They will likely be hurt if its like that. (Kurt)
Such a thing! (Eckhart)
Oy oy, despite accomplishing sothing special, you plan to take no risk at all? (Kurt)
Certainly, if I now blew the Flute of a dragon tar here targeting Wendelin, the large amount of dragons coming flying would ignore Wendelins group and likely kill a large amount of the fiefs inhabitants.
However, if we want to survive, we have to win. (Kurt)
They would obliterate the successors of Wendelins inheritance, the inhabitants, who reached the point of buttering up to that stupid brat, father and the cheeky Hermann and the people of the branch family.
It would start a new Bauister territory from the scratch.
No, it would be a fresh start.
However, your family is (Eckhart)
Such people, isnt it fine to build a new family then? (Kurt)
Soone like my wife, who has grown old and lacks appeal, isnt suited for the new Bauister territory.
We are still halfway through our thirties, Eckhart. Even the remaining folks still havent turned 50 yet. (Kurt)
, Eckhart and the other guys can advance the story, if we receive young wives additionally to a new governing system.
Sothing like children its fine to make them once again.
Eckhart, for you as new Junior Commander I believe it to be necessary to get a new wife. The others as well. I want each of them to serve as retainer. Do you have any objections to that? (Kurt)
No, we only want to follow Kurt-samas command. (Eckhart)
Thats right. Its proper like that.
Though I will only protect myself after I blew the Flute of a dragon tar.
I have decided to keep my promise to make them my retainers once they survived luckily.
Kurt-sama. (Eckhart)
We arrived, eh ? (Kurt)
Though unreasonable, it sohow had rit to hide at this place ahead of ti.
In front of my view it seems Wendelins group is checking sothing like the condition of the soil while talking about sothing.
The usual mbers are accompanying him.
What have they been promised to get?
Pauls group, who is guarding him as if greedy beggars, and, beyond expectations, Hermann along several of his subordinate warriors secured the vicinity.
Hermann-sama is there. (Eckhart)
That fits just nicely. He can die alongside the fools flattering my younger brother. (Kurt)
I have no grief anymore.
Wendelin, as well as Hermann and Paul buttering up to him, the damned old man, the stupid inhabitants, for all of them the ti for cleaning up has co once I use this Flute of a dragon tar.
Well, lets start then. (Kurt)
As I exhale, holding the Flute of a dragon tar in my mouth, sothing imdiately begins to flow similar to a lody never heard before.
The nature of the tune was similar to the sound of a normal ocarina.
I didnt have anything like training in instrunts.
As the gloomy adventurer, I encountered three days ago in the forest, said, the magic tool has been constructed to produce a lody, if you blow in a little bit of air while holding it in your mouth.
Also, this lody seems to co out so that people can distinct whether its a sound coming from this flute.
The sound to anger dragons is originally sothing that cant be heard by human ears.
However, such thing doesnt really matter, if only that imprudent Wendelin dies.
But, with this, it will be sufficient.
What the hell?
As expected, its only natural for first-class magicians and adventurers.
Because of the sound of the ocarina, Wendelins group discovered our existence.
But its already too late.
The dragons should already be heading this way.
Ye~~~a, its a flute calling sothing, huh? (Burkhart)
Margrave Breithildes pet dog grumbled seeing blowing the Flute of a dragon tar.
By no ans! Is it a Flute of a dragon tar? (Armstrong)
Such item is sothing that rarely cos into ones hands. I think its a magic tool to summon sothing else. (Burkhart)
It was a giant wearing a violet robe, who noticed the true identity of this magic tool.
But that ended up being denied by the stupid pet dog of Margrave Breithilde.
Really, there was no choice but to laugh at the idiot trying to act smart.
Having made a mistake in in his conclusion, it will be great, if his head is bitten off by the large flock of dragons.
Hey, that is? (Luise)
The midget, who is a concubine candidate of Wendelin, apparently discovered sothing and pointed at the sky.
Most likely the dragons, living at the mountain range, gathered as they have been called by this flute.
(Looks like your lives will end today, bastards!) (Kurt)
Being attacked by an army of dragons, Wendelins group, being outnumbered, will be eaten alive and the stupid fiefs inhabitants and their families will be destroyed.
However, I will rebuild the Bauister territory from there.
I will beco at least an Earl and a great number of new inhabitants will flow into my vast territory.
Being surrounded by many young wives, including a large number of concubines as well, I will every day lead a life in luxury appropriate to a noble.
And such will even be acknowledged by Margrave Breithilde and the nobles of the capital.
(All of you, die for my sake!) (Kurt)
Say, Kurt-sama (Eckhart)
(What is it?) (Kurt)
Although Ive been blowing the flute properly with a nice, manly mood, there is an idiot being a nuisance close-by.
It was the fool Eckhart, who isnt useful as usual.
Since those arent dragons (Eckhart)
(What?) (Kurt)
Though its a flute to call dragons, sothing thats not dragonic has co. Eckhart and the other guys started to make a fuss.
As I look in the sky for such reason, I see sothing similar to black smoke approaching this place from every direction in the sky.
(What is that? That black smoke?) (Kurt)
Kurt-sama?`(Eckhart)
Those things, similar to black smoke, seem to have been drawn from quite a vast range due to the sound of the flute.
Their size is probably around the size of a fist, even if they are tiny things which are as large as a pebble?
However their numbers arent normal at all. It was a swarm coming here as if it was a cloud.
Wouldnt it be better if you stopped blowing into the flute ? (Eckhart)
What a foolish thing to say.
Those might not be dragons, but they should definitely kill Wendelin, if they have such nacing air.
Anyway, I wont receive any damage from that black smoke.
(Besides, look at that! Theres no other way but to call Wendelin to be panicking!) (Kurt)
Due to the gradually gathering clusters of black smoke, Wendelins group started to put up magic defence in a hurry.
In other words, its sothing with that degree of danger.
Kurt-sama! Anymore than this! (Eckhart)
Whats up? This is? (Kurt)
It was Eckharts group, which had been appointed to protect while Im blowing the flute, but they are lowborn commoners after all.
Fearing the swarms of black smoke, they try to run away from this place.
However, they end up being caught by the swarms of black smoke midway on its way to here. Their bodies are covered.
Kurt-samaaa~~~!
Helpp~~~!
Listening to the screams similar to death agony by Eckharts group, Im convinced that this flute is even usable against Wendelin.
They were fools trying to escape due to fear although I told them they would beco retainers at long last, but it looks like I can use the effect of that black smoke as shown on their bodies.
Lets build a nice tomb for them once I beca an Earl.
(If that black smoke continues to attack until Wendelins groups mana is used up) (Kurt)
No matter how strong Wendelin is, he cant persist against the power in numbers.
Although the flute didnt call dragons, lets deem it usable since it was a useful magic tool.
(At this rate they will attack Wendelins group!) (Kurt)
I put even more breath into the flute and increased its sound.
Once I looked at the sky, it was completely similar to the feeling of a swarm of grasshoppers heading here as it seems that the swarm of black smoke is still gathering from the surroundings.
(Has Eckharts group died?) (Kurt)
The black smoke, which attacked Eckharts group, had already separated from its targets. Combining to a new gathered black smoke, it gathered as if there was a tornado in my vicinity.
With being right in the centre of the tornado of black smoke, Im not influenced by its effect at all.
On the other hand, Wendelins group is continuing to eagerly defend against the black smoke with magic.
(Looks like they died.) (Kurt)
The five people, including Eckhart, apparently already died.
Their skins colour beca ashen with them not even moving a twitch.
(I wonder, whats this black smoke anyway? Well, its fine since its usable, I guess?) (Kurt)
At the ti I thought Well, next is Wendelins group.
As I unintentionally look at Eckharts corpse, I confirm his limbs beginning to move with a twitch.
(Did he survive in fact?) (Kurt)
Although Eckharts groups limbs had begun to move, this ti they were sluggishly turning their faces this way as they stood up.
(They survived, huh? Oh well, lets make them retainers!) (Kurt)
However, looking at the faces of the risen group, I feel that sothing is obviously weird.
Their eyes are completely unfocussed. Snot is dripping from their noses and drool is coming out of their mouths.
Additionally, with even their excreta leaking out, an unpleasant stench gradually begins to spread in the vicinity.
Sothing to eat!
att~~~!
(Huh? What has happened to you guys?) (Kurt)
The five people co walking towards with unsteady feet.
Furthermore, they treat as human prey.
I recalled a certain situation after being confused for a short while.
Those killed in action of the Bauister feudal troops mostly changed into zombies. (Wendelin)
At the beginning that was the reason why Wendelin ca here as adventurer.
Since those of the expeditionary force killed in action in the Demon Forest have turned into undead, it should have been a request for the sake of purifying those.
Zombies are people possessed by a desire. They are especially specialized in appetite. It would be best to subjugate them as fast as possible. (Artur)
Dad talked to about the details of Wendelins report afterwards.
Within that there were details concerning the ecology of zombies.
Those fellows, although they cant even get any nutrition by eating, they are determined on hunting for food. Occasionally it seems to even go as far as cannibalism.
(Perhaps) (Kurt)
Eckharts group, believed to have already died, suddenly has gotten up. While saying Sothing to eat, they are heading towards .
In other words, they have beco zombies after having been killed by the black smoke. Arent they trying to devour ?
(What foolishness! Stop it!) (Kurt)
As I called out to those rushing guys in order to stop them, I was reminded that I was blowing the flute.
I decide to remove the flute from my mouth to stop temporarily, but I have confird an even more outrageous fact.
The flute cant be removed from my mouth.
In the sa ways both my hands, which supported my blowing of the flute, dont co off either. Lets first stop the sound by stopping to breath, else the sound of the flute wont stop either.
(Because its a magic tool, eh?) (Kurt)
It might be possible to not being able to stop the flutes sound until you achieve your objective, once you send your breath through it once.
The next second I was thinking about that, I felt pain from head to toe.
aat~~~!
Eckharts group, turned into zombies, was in the process of devouring my arms, feet and back of the neck.
(Hey! Get away! Theres death penalty for sothing like injuring the next feudal lord!) (Kurt)
Even so, the zombies didnt stop greedily devouring my body.
rcilessly biting off at all over, I fall senseless due to the exceeding pain.
(Anyway, if I dont escape) (Kurt)
However, my body didnt have any strength left anymore.
Even if I ran away, I would be covered by the black smoke, which beca a tornado in the surroundings.
I see, instead of this flute killing my target, it steals my life.
(Thats why I shouldnt have relied on sothing like a capitals noble! Damn it! My dreams! My aspirations!) (Kurt)
Using Wendelins inheritance, I will rejuvenate the Bauister territory.
I felt like my dreams made a sound of crumbling away.
(If it turned out like that! Even if theres as much as a single victim! Die, Wendelin! Die, Hermann! Die, Paul!) (Kurt)(T/N: And the world lost a great statesman)
The last thing I saw in my life was the large mouth of Eckhart, who turned into a zombie, plunging his teeth into my vital point at the nape of the neck.
