Torda Hot Spring Town, Louise Hotel
Yumika and the others' journey was proceeding smoothly. After leaving Rock Hold Town, the next place the party visited was Torda Hot Spring Town. That is to say, the hot spring town where they first t Louise, where the hotel managed by her was located.
6 days left until the coronation. Louise was planning to spend that day and the next day dealing with hotel business, but once they continued onward, they would likely reach the royal capital in three days' ti.
(At least, that's what we were thinking, but...)
Yumika sighed inside Louise's hotel office. Tiara was sitting next to her. And in Tiara's arms, for so reason, firus had a serious expression.
Hmm
What's wrong, Grandfather?
Tiara tilted her head and asked firus. While he usually didn't talk very much normally, firus' state had been strange since that morning.
No, it's nothing. Don't worry about it.
firus so replied to his granddaugther's question. After being told that, Tiara could only nod. The cause of firus' state was the ssage he received yesterday from Audin via the Ruby Griffon contract.
(All the people who were planning the assassination are dead? Having said that, there's no guarantee that the assassination risk is gone...)
The assassination danger had already been incorporated into their plans; firus and the others had been thinking that the riskiest tis were when they reached the royal capital or when they were in Torda Hot Spring Town. Yumika was always on guard withDog's Sense of Sll, and Jinrai was being especially vigilant about nearby presences. And now, there was the report from Audin.
(Well, I suppose I shouldn't purposely say sothing that could cause them to loosen their vigilance?)
Under these circumstances... so thinking, firus didn't say anything.
However, even putting that aside, another problem was occurring.
In front of them was Torda Hot Spring Town's Adventurers Guild branch head, Maia. She had expressly co to Louise Hotel to talk with them about the issue.
I see. I've understood the story, but the important part is that the army can't go out, right?
Louise put her hand on her forehead and asked. Louise interacted with Maia as a resident and businessperson of the sa city. She wanted to help if possible. However, the issue she had been brought was a troubleso one.
That's right. Unluckily, this is happening at the sa ti as the coronation, so there aren't enough Tsuvaran troops. So, umm, with the power of Rank S Jinrai-sama, I was wondering if sothing could be done.
In front of the White Party (excluding Kazane and Naoki), Maia replied with a sowhat exhausted expression. She might not have slept in the past few days. That was how desperate she was.
The origin of the affair was the discovery of huge lizard-type monsters called Brutuza in the forest to the west. They were behemoth-class giants with a total length of over 15 ters. They had a sturdy shield-like skeletal structure on their heads, and they were known to crush a village or two if they passed through while they were rampaging.
It was said that a herd of 5 had wandered into this area. Right now, they were only hunting in the woods, but they didn't know when they might head their direction, and unfortunately, it would be difficult to deal with them with just the Tsuvaran soldiers present in the surrounding towns. Since the army was concentrated in the royal capital for the coronation, there were insufficient numbers everywhere, and since they hadn't caused any damage at the present point, they were being left alone for now.
Currently, we've requested for kingdom troops to be stationed in nearby cities, and there's a similar ongoing request for adventurers, but that's the best we can do; we can't gather a sufficient number of people for a subjugation.
Maia said. Basically, it was normal for cities to have garrisons in this world. They existed to deal with monsters that adventurers couldn't deal with, but having said that, there was no way they would be sent on a suicide mission with thin hopes of victory. Considering the rank of the monsters this ti, with the diminished number of soldiers in the nearby towns, they concluded that it would be too dangerous to gather their war potential and attempt a subjugation.
We were told that dealing with them would beco possible after the coronation, but we don't know how long the present condition of no damage will last.
Dignitaries from many countries had already gathered in the royal capital, so there was no way they would do sothing that might lead to one of them saying their army was undermanned. Moreover, there was less than a week until the coronation ceremony. The judgent to wait until after that to gather numbers and do the subjugation was by no ans mistaken.
I see. And then, you heard that we're here.
After Louise's words, Maia deeply nodded.
I've heard that a rank S adventurer by themself is comparable to an army. I thought it might be possible with Jinrai-sama's power, and clinging to that hope, I ca here.
Subjected to Maia's gaze, Jinrai muttered.
Brutuzas? It would be another story if it were just one, but five is troubleso.
Grandfather, are Brutuzas that strong?
It was a na that wasn't heard in Hyvern. Lyle hadn't known about their existence.
Mm. They're not dragons, but giant lizards of the Saurus family. Few types use Breath or fly in the sky, but they're simply powerful and tough. They're generally sturdier than Earth Core Dragons. And even among them, Brutuzas have shield-like heads that repel every kind of attack. With five, this town would probably beco a pile of rubble in the blink of an eye.
(If I rember correctly, that monster resembles a triceratops, with a head that's just like a tower shield)
Yumika rembered fighting that monster in Zexiaharts. Incidentally, Arch had been pounced on and died many tis; her winning percentage was zero.
(Those are certainly tough, aren't they? And it's not simply an issue of power, but player skill as well)
Because it was an opponent that couldn't be defeated if it was challenged from the front, player skill was more important than level. Since I wasn't skilled at the ga, I couldn't handle them with Arch... Yumika thought.
Oi, Yumika.
At that ti, she heard a voice for so reason.
Yumika, are you listening?
Uh, ah, yes. Master?
Then Yumika realized she was being called and raised her face.
Thereupon, everyone was looking at Yumika.
Umm, what is it?
Yumika asked while blinking in surprise, and Jinrai opened his mouth.
As expected, with 5 Brutuzas, we can't handle it with just us. Please check if Kazane can co and whether or not we should do this.
Aah, I see. That's right.
Understanding what Jinrai was saying, Yumika opened a Window and prepared to send an email to her best friend. WithReturn Stake, they could co this distance. The issue was the current situation of Kazane and the others.
Minshiana Kingdom, Kazane Magic Hot Spring Town, Residential Area
Alright, alright. Ok, stop there.
Thumps sounded as the ground shook. At Kazane's signal, the giant swayed and stopped.
OK. Sit to finish.
And it slowly sat down. Then, its legs collapsed, and thehousegently reached the ground.
This is like a fairytale.
Kimberly was watching and muttered that.
If he said what he saw a mont ago without change, it would be that a house ca walking from the mountains and sat down. Even for a resident of a world of swords and magic like Kimberly, it was completely out of the ordinary, but there was a reason Kazane had no choice but to do this.
This is sothing obvious, but Golem Maker made forms out of rock and soil. And when it ca to building a large number of houses, naturally, the soil in that place alone was insufficient. The insufficient soil was being transported from the direction of the mountains a short distance away, and Kazane was making legs on the houses with Golem Maker to directly transport them here.
Thanks to that, a corresponding amount of Magic Power was also being consud, delaying the work. But even with that, she had already completed 36 buildings since yesterday. They were simple one story structures with a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms, but that was the structure of a typical house in this world.
By the way, a communal bath with hot water was prepared yesterday, and the residents from Uumin were entering it in turns.
I'm running low on Magic Power. Once I've made 3 more buildings, I'll take a break.
After Kazane's words, the surrounding people shoutedOoh!
Those people were laborers who were forr mbers of Outer, and once Kazane placed a house, they furnished them with the items arranged nearby. Since there was nothing else he could do, Naoki was also mixed in with them, and he had shouted the loudest.
Well then, shall we go?
The cocoon and Tatsuo were already on Yuuko-nee. Kazane mounted next to them and was about to go to the place with soil to make more houses,
Huh?
She said and looked into blank space. A Window that was invisible to the surrounding people had opened there.
Urgent email... is it?
Tatsuo, who was next to Kazane and could see her Window for so reason, said that.
From Yumika? What is it?
So saying, Kazane opened the mail Window.
And written there was a ssage checking whether or not they would participate in the request to subjugate the Brutuzas.

Naoki: When I was in Hyvern, a tough request like this would co to the guild about once every few months. Well, at my rank, I couldn't accept them, though.
Kazane: It's tough. In this world as well.
Naoki: You're saying that like it's sobody else's problem, but we're a rank S party, so setting aside whether or not we'll accept, we'll definitely be summoned for them?
Kazane: Ah
