Chapter 148
CHAPTER 148 – THE DEMON SWORD WIELDER’S EXPRESS HO DELIVERY
The next day .
In the place we’re staying in Malonei, Delfina rchant Company’s building .
In Delfina’s room, she is working at her desk from the morning .
And I am watching that on a sofa a few distance away .
「What a good woman」
『I’d really like to ask your standard of “a good woman” just for once』
「Won that I would like to make love with, that’s all though?」
『That sounds simple, but that isn’t answering the question though』
「Is that so? It’s just simple」
『I’m asking here alright . How about making it more into words?』
「I am . It’s won that I would like to make love with」
『That doesn’t count as putting it into words』
I could feel Eleanor rolling her eyes inside my head .
「In the first place, what would you do with it if I put it into words?」
『……』
「Eleanor?」
『I-I’m going to guide Hikari to not be like that』
For so reason, the feeling that flows from Eleanor changed into sothing restless .
What is she being restless for?
「You don’t need to worry about Hikari . She’s my daughter after all」
『Hmph, who’d believe that』
「You’re teasing , calling a doting parent but you’re worried about that?」
It’s been a while but I’m feeling troubled . Just a little though .
And when I’m chatting with Eleanor about such senseless things, there was a knock on the door and one woman entered inside .
It’s a young intelligent-looking woman wearing glasses .
Her face features are the sa type with Delfina, a beautiful type rather than being described as cute .
「I have sothing to report, Master」
「Did sothing happen?」
「Yes……」
After the woman made a small nod, she glanced at .
It looks like it’s sothing she can’t speak of with an outsider .
「Do not mind it, speak」
「……yes . A riot is taking place in the town」
「A riot? Suppress it just like as usual」
「Just like as usual?」
「Yes, it’s this」
Delfina made a gesture of grabbing sothing from her chest .
It’s similar to when I took out that dark thing . I see, riots that is caused by that, it is still happening up until now huh .
「That’s, Master……it is getting more frequent」
「More frequent?」
「It suddenly occurred earlier in the morning . There are 7 cases with just the ones that have already been reported, and there are five places that clearly seems strange although there is no report」
「……」
Delfina narrowed her beautiful eyebrows .
「There’s riots in 12 places?」
「At the least, that is」
She glanced at and replied .
Delfina who received the report got into deep thought .
「Suppressing them……will take ti huh」
「Is that so?」
「We have not expected that this level of riot will occur at once . We’ve prepared a vigilante group that would take the place of Aegina’s officials, but it’s scale is……」
「I see . Delfinaーー」
Delfina raised a hand towards the instant I called her na .
She faced her palm towards , and I felt like I was told to shut up .
While retaining that pose, Delfina thought for awhile .
「Request help from the adventurer’s guild . The reward is thrice the normal . Tell them as well that double of that will be paid to the adventurers who can suppress several places today」
「Understood, Master」
The woman made a bow and left the room .
I completely understood Delfina’s intention . Her intention of wanting to take care of it without my help .
『It’s her woman’s pride』
I know .
I answered to Eleanor without saying it out loud .
I thought that I should let Delfina do so if she wants to .
Well, hearing her instructions, I felt like it would be taken care of, although it would take ti .
Since that is the case, it might be better if I’m not here .
I stood up from the sofa and told Delfina .
「I rembered sothing that I need to do, I’ll go back now to my mansion . I’ll co here byーー」
「Master!!」
Pan!!, the door was slamd open .
The woman from earlier rushed into the room with a pale face .
「What happened?」
「A-Aegina . The Aegina army, it’s heading towards here」
「……that’s what’s happening」
Delfina clenched her teeth strong enough that I could hear it from here .
☆
At Malonei’s outskirts, above the town wall .
Coming here with Delfina, I looked far away with my vision multiplied 777 tis .
「They’re here . Just roughly, about 2000」
「Is that so……」
「They have a flag too, it’s this mark」
I released my aura and made the mark of the flag that I saw .
「It’s the Pri Minister Prince’s flag」
「I think that I’ve heard about that title」
「Aegina Kingdom’s First Prince, the Pri Minister Prince Kimon Mo Aegina . Kakeru-sama have t him once」
「I see」
I can’t rember his face, and I could only sowhat rember his na, but I rember that Pri Minister Prince title .
「That ans, that guy’s leading his army here huh」
「Yes . At the sa ti……I could see it now . This ti’s mastermind」
「Hou?」
「Currently, riots are occurring in Malonei . The cause is that dark thing」
「Yeah」
「At this point right now, it’s scale has exceeded the amount that I can handle, and there is also the possibility that it would continue to expand . And, the following is what’s important」
Delfina let out a sigh .
「Although it’s a town that I bought with money, this town is still nominally Aegina’s . That’s the reason why officials just in na are dispatched here」
「I see」
I understood .
「He wants to send soldiers in the form of riot suppression, but would continue to garrison here even after the riots’ are suppressed」
「Yes . He would not be able to send soldiers if nothing is happening . If he dispatched an army to recapture a town that is nominally under their Kingdom’s rule, they would be a laughingstock of the neighboring kingdoms . However, if a large scale riot has occurred……」
「He’d be able to send soldiers without any worries, huh」
Delfina nodded .
「If that army would be able to enter the town and suppress even one riot, it would be my defeat」
I looked at the dust clouds that the army is making from far away . It’s about 30 minutes before they arrive, huh .
「……please help 」
Delfina gave away .
She probably thought of wanting to do sothing about it herself, but judging from the situation, there’s nothing good with not asking for my help .
「Leave it to 」
「We will take care of the support, and the aftermath」
「Give the information where the riots are occurring . You should take care of the aftermath later」
「Eh? But if signs of the riot, and if the people in act remainsーー」
While Delfina is tilting her head, I turned around and looked at the town .
And just in ti, a riot is occurring 200 ters away from here .
People who had clearly lost their sanity are fighting against each other .
「Just look」
I opened my Different Dinsion Warehouse and took out my Warp Feather . I used that and warped to the place of the riot .
I warped nearby and grasped the details of the situation . There are ten odd n fighting in a lee battle .
Each one of them has lost their sanity and were raising beast-like voices .
So of them were even bleeding from their fists, but they continued to throw punches without a care .
『Are we doing it?』
I heard Eleanor’s excited voice .
「Your turn is for later」
『Mu?!』
「First……I’ll do this」
I used the Warp Feather again .
I warped taking those guys who are fighting and those who are possessed by that dark thing with .
The destination is my mansion at Reiusu, at the training grounds in front of the slave soldier’s barracks .
「Your Excellency!」
Nikki was there . It looks like she’s having her self-training .
「How many slave soldiers are around?」
「Sir! Everyone other than the second platoon is here sir!」
「Assemble here . I’ll bring more and more of them . Surround them here, do not let anyone get away」
「Sir yes sir!」
Nikki entered the barracks, and I confird the slave soldiers rushing out one next to the other .
I also saw Nana within them .
I got relieved after seeing that and returned to Malonei using the Warp Feather . I returned to where Delfina is .
「Kakeru-sama!」
「Just like that, there wouldn’t be any evidence if I take them to another place right?」
「……yes!」
「And so, I’ll rely on you about the information . Will you make it in ti?」
「I will make it in ti」
I looked at Delfina nodding clearly and brought her back to the rchant company using the Warp Feather .
She processed the information that her subordinates gathered, and using that, I warped to the said area and warped those possessed people to the training grounds .
When the Aegina army arrived, the possessed people had completely disappeared from Malonei .
