Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

24 Misunderstanding of the day of the sabbath

The day after I heard the news of Funayama’s death was the Sabbath day, but Amanda’s shop is closed on the dark day, and it seems that it will be open for business as usual on this day.

I decided to meet up with my friend and went out to the training grounds of the Demon Forest again.

On the way, I peeked into the forest from the shadow of the city walls and saw that all the garrison members were disposing of the corpse of the rock ogre.

When I thought about it, after I defeated it and pulled out the magic stone, I left it alone.

Even though it is a demon, if you leave the corpse unattended, other demons will be attracted to it, and if it decomposes, terrible smells and flies will be generated, so it seems that they dig a hole in the forest and bury it.

»Reinhardt, do you think we should help with that?

«To be clear, Master Kent, if you don’t burn the bodies, the goblins and kobolds will eventually dig them up and devour them, so there’s not much point in burying them.

‘Really? But wouldn’t it be better to bury them?’

Well, I suppose it’s just to make you feel better.

Among the demons inhabiting the Devil’s Forest, goblins and kobolds are the weakest of all.

That’s why they can’t live without dead meat.

»Kent-sama, this is the reason why Klaus-dono said the other day that the demons in the Demon Forest become more active after a mass outbreak of demons.

«Oh, yeah, there’s plenty of food for them to eat, so they’re more active.

»Yes, and when there’s plenty of food, there’s an increase in reproductive behavior, so the demons themselves increase in number.

‘I see, so now there are going to be a lot of goblins and kobolds?

No, there will be more of them, but not nearly as many.

‘Oh, really? If that’s the case, then what’s with the rock ogre outbreak?’

«I don’t understand. Although we are now demons, I still don’t understand why there are so many demons in the Demon Forest.

‘Yeah but it felt like the rock ogre was increasing a little bit, didn’t it?

«Yes, Master Kent would occasionally show up in packs from time to time when he was training in the middle of the night, but he doesn’t usually show up that often.

‘Come to think of it, Klaus-san also said that there weren’t many rock ogres.

The work of the garrison was not yet finished, so they moved to the training grounds.

There were a few kobolds hanging around in the training ground, but as soon as Reinhardt stepped out of the shadows to the surface, they ran away like spider spiders.

‘Hey, Reinhardt, can you try to pull the Kobolds into the shadow world for a moment?’

‘Ho, you have a purpose. Let’s try a little.’

Me and Reinhardt tried to track down the Kobold that had just escaped and see if we could catch it from the shadows and drag it in.

As it turned out, the attempt was unsuccessful.

I tried not only with the kobold, but also with the bird perched on a tree branch, but when I tried to pull it into the shadow world, it seemed to run into a wall and was unable to cross the border between the surface world and the shadow world.

«Mr. Kent, it seems that creatures cannot be drawn into the shadow world.

Yeah, I had a feeling, somehow, that if we could pull in the creatures as well, it would make rescuing my classmates a lot easier.

Perhaps, but only those with an aptitude for the dark attribute are able to enter the shadow world.

I think the reason Reinhardt and the others can come and go freely is because I summoned them with the magic of the dark attribute, and there is a link of magic power.

I thought it was a cheat attribute that could be anything, but it’s still a restriction.

»That, but then what would happen if I used the Darkness Shield in close combat instead of magic?

‘Well, I suppose since weapons don’t have life, they enter the world of shadows and the wielder is played. ‘

‘But does it still prevent an attack, at least?

Well, it depends on how strong your shields are, but we can’t test that, because we’d be trapped in there.

Well I’ll give it a try anyway, when something demonic comes up.

Today, I spent the time until noon practicing the Dark Shield.

Anyway, I’m going to practice until I can reflexively produce a shield when I think I’ve been shot by a magician so that I can produce it quickly.

I’m sure I can dodge attacks even if I hide in the shadow world, but there’s a chance I won’t be able to avoid an attack of the lazy hero class.

And if you can produce your shield freely, you should be able to protect someone.

The only thing I can think of to say is, «As expected of Kent-sama, I didn’t expect it to be activated so quickly.

‘Nope, we’re still limited to a certain place and a certain size, we need more and more flexibility.

«Well, Master Kent’s ambition never ceases to amaze me, even at this point in time, a normal surgeon would be swooning if he saw it.

»Maybe so, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get my strength as a knight in time for the rescue mission, so I’d like to at least develop my strength as a surgeon as much as I can.

Well, we have no objection to Mr. Kent being strong. Now, Mr. Kent, would you like to have lunch now?

‘Oh, it’s that time already, for lunch. well, I think I’ll go to that place I went to with Mr. Kurtz. ‘

«As I recall, you said it wasn’t very tasty.

‘Yeah, I know, but Mr. Kurtz has been a great help to me.

Let’s contribute to the sales as a way of repaying Mr. Kurtz for his kindness.

We returned to the alleyway of Volzard and headed to Meline-san’s diner.

The last time I came here was also on the day of rest, so it should be open for business, but Kurtz-san might not have come here to dispose of the dead body of the Rock Ogre.

There was a bill hanging at the entrance of the shop that said it was open for business, so I put my hand on the door and heard a loud voice from inside.

»I knew I couldn’t do it!

No, it’s not, and if you keep at it.

‘I tried! How can I try any harder than that! I don’t know anymore!

I felt some kind of difficult atmosphere to enter and was frozen in front of the door, when the door opened with great force and I was repelled.

Oh I’m sorry, I’m sorry are you okay?

‘Oh my God, Nicola, what are you doing, get your towel wet and bring it to me quickly! I’m sorry, are you okay?

Hastened by Meline, Nikola hurried back to the kitchen.

»Ha, yes. I just bumped my forehead a bit. »

«I’m really sorry my sweetheart.

‘Yes, I’m Kent, who was with Mr. Kurtz before. Uh, the shop is.

Well, of course we’re open, but that’s okay, you can order anything you want.

Then Nicola came back with a wet towel.

‘Nicola, we have a guest, get ready!

Don’t keep the guests waiting!

This time, with something like reluctance, Nicola-san went back to the kitchen.

‘Come on, take a seat of your choice, your forehead should be cooled down a bit with this. ‘

Now, what would you like to order?

Merine brought me the menu, and when I opened it up, I saw that more than half of the menu had horizontal lines drawn on it.

The majority of the menu, especially the more expensive and labor-intensive ones, have horizontal lines drawn on them.

Okay, highly recommended lunch for one! Thank you!

I don’t think I need to tell you now, but there are no other customers in the shop except me.

It’s a little late, but it’s still lunchtime, and if it’s Amanda’s shop, it’s the time when people are waiting outside, unable to get in.

As I was scurrying around aimlessly, Meline came up to me.

‘Did you hear what I said earlier?’

‘Well yes, just for a second. ‘

Can you please not tell Mr. Kurtz? I’m afraid I’m going to worry you again.

Okay, um. are you going to stop working?

I don’t want to stop, but.

Meline told me that her father, who ran the restaurant, had passed away the year before last due to a sudden illness, and her brother Nicolas had followed in his footsteps, but it wasn’t going well.

‘Again today, Kent was our first visitor. ‘

Nicola called out from the kitchen and Meline went to get the tray.

‘Yes, yes, come on, Kent, eat up.’

Yes, I’ll take it!

The recommended lunch consists of bread, soup, salad, and two types of sausages and a fried egg.

It tastes like it’s not quite right.

How about the sausage?

Yeah, it’s really salty, the other kind is too herbaceous.

The bread is kind of shabby.

Hey, Kent, how does it taste? Can you give me an honest opinion?

Since Kurtz-san wasn’t here today, I told him what I thought.

‘I see. I knew it. Kurtz-san and the customers who came with me say it’s good, but when you don’t get this many customers in, hey. ‘

Yes, Kurtz-san’s deliciousness is completely flattering for Meline-san’s sake.

Naturally, the people who came with me would be able to guess Karz-san’s attitude, which is easy to understand, so they wouldn’t be able to give me an honest opinion.

»Sis, it was impossible for me after all. »

Before I knew it, Nicola came out of the kitchen. He joined our conversation.

‘Nicola, but you’re the one who said you were going to take over my dad’s shop,’

‘Yeah but you can’t do what you can’t. ‘

Maybe it was because I was being outspoken, but Nicola started talking about the survival of the store in front of me.

I had a few doubts, so I’ll ask Meline-san about it.

Okay, what is it?

Nicola, have you ever worked, or trained, in any of the shops?

No, I don’t, but what does that matter?

Nicola looks curious as to why she’s asking that.

‘Well why aren’t you training?’

No, because I watched my dad work there, so I know how to do it and everything.

Oh, I kind of figured it out, you’re a typical misunderstood bastard.

Ms. Merine is shaking her head.

‘Well, how come half the menu was erased?

That’s because you don’t have many customers and you don’t want to waste your money on expensive ingredients.

Do you season your sausages like your father did?

Of course it’s different from your father’s, I’m the inheritor, I’ve done some creative things to make it my own blend.

Why don’t I get more customers?

Well you don’t understand what I taste like, like the times can’t keep up with me.

Oh, it’s completely wrong. He thinks he can do it even though he doesn’t try, but when he does it, he can’t, but then he shifts the blame to others. Oh, Funayama was like that.

He would come out of the woodwork even though he couldn’t do it, and when he failed, he would blame others and take it out on them, lashing out at them violently. He was an unbelievable guy, but I never thought he would die so easily, I never thought he would.

»Kent? What’s wrong?

Uh, no, no, I was just thinking about something.

Yeah? You look kind of like you’re about to cry.

I’m sorry, but it’s okay.

I was worried about Meline-san’s shop, but not if I was worried about me.

»Sis, anyway, the shop is closed for today no, I’m closing it now so you can tell Mr. Kurtz from your sister.

Hey, Nicola, where are you going?

It doesn’t matter where. it’s a distraction, a distraction.

Nicola! Wait a minute, Nicola!

Nicola walked out of the store, waving Meline away.

Wow, I came at some amazing time.

‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry I made you look so disgusting,’

I’m not a bad kid at heart, but I’ll always be a spoiled brat. I just don’t know what to do.

Meline-san sat down across from me, propped her elbows on the table and put her head in her hands.

Me? But even I haven’t trained or anything.

So why don’t you just train yourself?

Meline said she wasn’t originally planning to take over the shop, so she was working as a seamstress.

Then suddenly Nicola took over the shop and she started helping out.

‘I think we’re going to have to close the shop, or else Meline will have to do it. ‘

‘Well, well to be honest, I don’t have enough confidence in myself to run this store, but I also want to keep it going because my dad left it to me.

Then I suggest you talk to Kurtz and others and make a decision.

‘Well but I don’t want to cause Mr. Kurtz any unnecessary worry. ‘

‘But I think Mr. Kurtz would be saddened if he heard about it later and found out that I couldn’t help him in the hardest of times, so he should ask for advice.

What I can’t do, what I don’t know about, I’m sure Kurtz-san can handle it, and it seems to take advantage of my weakness, but it’s an opportunity for Kurtz-san.

Meline-san nodded one as if making up her mind after thinking for a bit.

»Well yes, yes, I’ll talk to Kurtz-san about it.

Yes, I think Mr. Kurtz will be pleased with that.

‘Well no, no, that had nothing to do with the store and. ‘

‘But you looked serious enough to change the color of your face, maybe Kent would feel better if you talked to him too?

I was very grateful for the offer, but I couldn’t talk about Funayama, so I was at a loss for a response.

No, I’m the one who’s sorry for trying to force you to do what you can’t.

All I have to do is hide things from Amanda, Meisa, Manon, and Meline.

It would be easier if I just told them all, but if I did that, I’d end up getting involved in the mess with Riesenburg, and I definitely don’t want Volzard to get involved in a war because of it.

Many things were running around in my head, and I didn’t even notice that Meline-san had gotten up from her seat.

»It’s okay. Kent’s a sweet boy, he’ll be fine. »

Merine came around the table and gave me a soft hug.

I know it’s a strange city and you don’t know many people yet, but when times are tough, you can always count on Kent to be there for you.

Yes, yes, it’s okay if you can’t talk about it, it’s okay.

The direct cause of Funayama’s death was the Riesenburgers, led by Camilla, but there was still something I could have done before I became angry at them.

But there is something I could have done before I got angry with them.

And yet, because I was too optimistic, I let Funayama die.

In the end, I thought I could do it, but I couldn’t do anything about it, and I was so frustrated that I was a misunderstood bastard that I couldn’t do anything, and I was so ashamed that I cried tears.

Meline’s warmth envelops me and I wish time would just stop, but I can’t get rid of the mistaken idea that I can’t do anything with it.

In order to shake off my backward thoughts, I took one big deep breath and then thanked Merine-san for her help.

»Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better.»

Yes, I can’t stand still so I’m going to crawl forward.

You’re a strong man, Kent but don’t push it too hard.

Yes, I’ll get help from some people who can help me.

Yeah, I’ll talk to Mr. Kurtz about it too.

‘Yes! Please do so.

We left Meline’s shop and returned to the training grounds in the Demon Forest.

I’m also concerned about my classmates in Rastock, but on the day of rest, the training will also be closed in order to give the knights a break.

That said, the classmates are forbidden to go outside the garrison, and most of them spend their time sleeping in their quarters.

When we returned to the training grounds, we were engrossed in a kumite against Reinhardt.

I knew that I wouldn’t make any progress if I went towards it in the dark, so I tried to reflect on things and make improvements, but I still felt like I couldn’t make up the difference in absolute speed and power.

When the sun is setting, I don’t even know how many times I’ve been rolled to the ground and looked up to the heavens, gorging on the missing oxygen, and I can’t help but complain about it.

‘There’s still a lot of waste in your movements, Master Kent, and it looks like you’re putting a lot of effort in extra places, inhibiting your movements.

Is that the kind of thing you can reduce in your head?

«No, Master Kent hasn’t been in proper confrontation for very long, so I suppose there’s nothing better than to repeat it anyway, until your body can respond.

‘Yes, try your best to react faster than you can think.

I should have done some sports when I was in Japan if I was going to be like this.

The magic of the limp-wristed hero may have something to do with his original physical ability.

I’m sure you’re not the only one.

‘I want it! I want to get us all out of here as soon as possible and get you all back to where you belong!

«Then don’t be in a hurry. The person who rushes to the top will always be caught flat-footed.

‘Yeah, I think I know it in theory, but I just feel like I can’t sit still.

I don’t blame your friend for being in such a situation, but you could be putting them in more danger than they already are.

Even though I know what Reinhardt is saying is right, a sense of rebellion and anxiety bubbles up in my heart.

»But to think that if things continue as they are, something like Funayama will happen again. »

Well, I’m also responsible for the fact that I said to postpone the rescue. So let’s start with what we can do.

What you could do is fight back, right?

«How true. But we won’t do anything we can’t do.

Okay, let’s hit back as hard as we can.

»Right, so much for witnessing, let’s go back and have dinner and then we’ll plan our strategy.

After finishing our training, we went back to the boarding house to finish dinner, and decided not to return to the Demon Forest tonight, but to have a meeting in the future.

Cheat magician life that started from being judged useless

I was summoned to another world, but I was judged to be useless.

«This is crap! What’s going on, explain it!»

However, that’s only when the other person is a school teacher, it’s a different story if you’re dealing with a knight wearing full-plate metal armor.

My name is Kento Kokubu, this is Chuuni.

The word Chuunibyo is not the Chuunibyo, meaning that you are in the second year of junior high school, but in this case, we are in the middle of being summoned to another world.

You see, isn’t it Chuunibyo? Well, I’m that age, so I’m suffering from it, but it’s serious, this is.

Until a while ago, we were taking our third period class at a junior high school in Tokyo, when suddenly we were surrounded by light, a magic square appeared in the air, and the entire third floor of the school building was summoned here.

Or so I was told, I was asleep and missed the summoning light and the magic square.

From midday Tokyo, it suddenly became the middle of the wasteland at night, it became pitch black in an instant, and as a matter of course, the girls screamed loudly and I finally woke up.

Anyway, to miss the moment of being summoned to another world, I think I’m really stupid.

Furthermore, the school building was summoned from the floor to the ceiling of the third floor.

This, this is a bad Daruma doll, isn’t it?(TN:Daruma doll signifies good luck, so this is bad luck)

Even though it would be a big incident even if all the students in the first grade went missing, the whole third floor of the school building disappeared, so it is a worldwide turmoil.

I wonder if CIA, MI6, Interpol, etc. will participate in the investigation.

If you could go home, you’d catch newspapers and the internet.

Or rather, I’m sure you’d be attacked by the media.

You’d be a celebrity, could you get along with idols?

When I was thinking about it, a person who seemed to be in charge came out.

A beautiful blonde ringlet wearing golden shiny armor, which looks different from other soldiers.

«Quiet! I, Camilla Resenburg, the third princess of the Kingdom of Resenburg summoned you.»

Oh, the princess came—! Isn’t the princess in armor really like a different world?

Everyone took out their smartphones and mobile phones all at once and took pictures.

Yes yes, the knights who surround us look strong, but what they’re curious about is obvious, because they look very greedy.

Ah, Funayama bastard, this time you got involved with the princess, that overreaching fatty.

Or rather, why do we understand the language of this world?

«Yeah, Princess, we were summoned as heroes? If so, why don’t we have more luxurious hospitality? If anything, you can do the night hospitality. That’s it.»

Funayama has a huge body with a height of over 180 cm and a weight of over 100 kg, and it seems a scout came from the sumo club.

He was so forceful that Ayako Sugiyama, an intern teacher, cried when her class was criticized.

The princess, on the other hand, is one or more heads smaller than Funayama, but she doesn’t seem to be scared at all.

Yeah, it’s a princess, the royal aura is fully open, and it’s dignified.

«I’m afraid you’re misunderstanding, so let me tell you, you’re not heroes, just soldiers to make up for the lack of strength.»

That? It’s clearly a hero summoning! I was wondering, but what does it mean to be just a soldier?

Everyone around me feels confused.

«Quiet! You have two choices: submit to us, cooperate, receive a reward and go home, or go against us and die, choose the one you like!»

«This is crap! Why do we have to follow you obediently!»

Funayama bastard, tries to grab the princess, oh, on the contrary, the princess grabbed him.

No way! The princess grabbed Funayama’s neck and lifted him with just her left hand.

«Don’t make me tell you the same story over and over, I’m not a patient person, your choices are two, obedience? Death? Choose the one you like!»

Oh, Funayama was thrown away like garbage, yes, I’m obedient, of course.

When I thought such, the chariman came—!

Yuika Asakawa, the chairman of our class, is an endangered Yamato Nadeshiko who looks good with straight black hair.

«Is it okay to ask a question?»

«I don’t mind, I’ll allow it.»

«Thank you. You said that if we cooperate, we can get rewarded and go home, but is there a way to go back to our original world?»

«Of course. What if a monster that is too much to handle comes out using summoning magic? It would be a problem if there was no way to send it back. The summoning method would not be possible without the repatriation method. This is the basics of summoning magic.

I see, the princess confidently answered without a break, this is safe.

The chairman and everyone around her have a relieved expression.

«If you have no other questions, I will judge your magical power from now on.»

Eh? I wonder if we can use magic to judge magical power.

Is that it? I think it’s an event where cheat abilities are revealed.

«Judgment is made using ‘Evil Eye Crystal’. If each person touches it with their hand, you can see the magical qualities and attribute of that person. If you receive the judgment, wear a bracelet to prevent the magic from rampaging. Ride the carriage separately according to the amount of magical power. There is no time, start quickly.»

Three crystal balls with a diameter of about 30 cm are prepared, the teachers will be judged first, and then the students will be judged in order of attendence number.

«Green, wind attribute, medium, next! Blue, water attribute, strong, next!»

Apparently, when you touch the crystal ball, it emits light of a color according to the person’s attributes, and the intensity of the light seems to indicate the amount of magical power.

When observing, it seems that there are many amber light soil attributes and green light wind attributes, followed by water attributes and fire attributes are a minority.

When the judgment is over, the have the bracelet fitted to their left arm, but it looks like carved obsidian, and it tickles my heart.

Even so, it feels like a career woman who is making judgments, and although it is quite beautiful it is extremely clerical.

Well, it can’t be helped because this number of people is one after another.

Oh, next is the chariman’s turn. The chairman does not feel like a healing water attribute.

As soon as the chairman touched the crystal ball, a white light that was incomparable to the previous one overflowed.

After that, the handsome guy in the basketball club draws a rare fire attribute, and seriously explodes in the rear! While I was thinking about it, it was finally my turn.

Then I can’t help it, so let me show you my cheat!

«Don’t screw with me! Why, this bastard, won’t listen to me!»

I screamed at the crystal ball involuntarily, because it didn’t shine.

«Well, touch this one next time.»

The judgment onee-san took out a crystal ball with a diameter of about 10 cm.

Ah, I understand somehow, this one broke when the chairman touched it.

I’m getting a lot of attention from the people around me, and I don’t want to touch it because I have a very bad feeling about it, but the princess is looking impatient, so I’ll touch it.

«Camilla-sama, what are you going to do with this?»

«Hmm, keep him in a place that doesn’t get in the way.»

Wow, the glittering look when seeing the chairman is now as if looking at a bug.

It seems that I’m a little nervous and about to wake up to something.

Oh, I didn’t get the bracelet. Is it meaningless because there is no magical power to go rampant?

«Gyahaha, Babu bastard, you’re a failure, you’re an no-good failure.»

Funayama bastard, you’re crazy, you lost too!

Oh, Babu is my derogatory term, Babu for short, stupid Kokubu, because even if you take a bath separately, no bubbles with come out.

«Next! Make it big!»

«Okay, I’ll show you my burning magical power!»

Oops, it’s Funayama’s turn, fail, fail, dump it in!

«Amber, soil attributes, weak, deceptive appearance, next!»

Uhyahyahya, Funayama serves you right! I know that, I’ve seen it in an H book.

Yeah, that’s pretty good, onee-san Good Job.

When I was ridiculing Funayama in my heart, everyone’s judgment was over, and I was the only one who failed.

Regardless of me being depressed, the knights were preparing for withdrawal, and all that remained was the princess, the chairman, and the onee-san who was judging.

«So what will you do, Camilla?»

If you can see such dirty things with your eyes, you’ll be thrilled.

«You can go anywhere you like.»

Wow, I’ve been cut off, it’s like a slashing straw.

«Wait a minute. Kokubu is our companion. You can’t abandon him!»

Oh, the chairman is a serious angel! I’ll be with you for the rest of my life, call me a dog.

«Hmm, I don’t need someone useless as a subordinate. Can I waste people’s taxes?»

«Hmm, then I’ll give this guy a chance.»

Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

Chapter 84

Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 84

Royal Capital Aldaros

The biggest difference between Lastock and Volzard is the existence of the river.

In the rainy season, the width of the river is about 50 meters, and you need a boat to cross places other than the drawbridge.

Lastock does not have a wall like Volzard, as this river acts as a natural moat.

For example, even if a group of about 100 monsters tries to cross, you can repel them by lining up the knights along the riverbank and attacking with magic or a bow and arrow.

After all, the attacked opponent can’t move very well in the water, so you just aim at it unilaterally.

In addition, the flow of the river will wash away the blood, so there is no need to worry about attracting new monsters.

Probably because the city was built by relying on the river, the houses lined up are also normal.

They’re not as sturdy as Dino’s house on the Libre Plantation, nor are they equipped with shutters like Volzard’s houses.

And it seems that they did not prepare evacuation facilities like in Volzard.

[ Reinhardt, I feel like there is a big difference with Volzard. ]

[ That’s true, probably because they prioritized pioneering, they didn’t even think about preparing for a maximum outbreak. ]

[ Well, if a maximum outbreak occurs in the current state and a swarm of monsters crosses the river, I feel that the residents won’t be able to evacuate. ]

The day after Rondal-tachi returned to Lastock, the city of Lastock was literally like the inside of a beehive.

If it were a similar situation in Japan, there would be traffic jams caused by people who put together their household items and tried to escape.

[ There may be reasons, but one is that the inhabitants of Lastock are those who migrated from the west side of the desertified Resenburg, and the surrounding area is under the sphere of influence of the Second Prince, and there is no place to escape to. ]

For the inhabitants, Lastock is a new world and a bridgehead for the future development of the Devil’s Forest.

Losing Lastock also means losing the hope of their comrades, who are suffering from desertification, so they seem to want to protect it at all costs.

[ The other is probably Camilla’s desire. ]

Camilla goes out to the city in the morning and gives out instructions one after another while checking the actual situation.

When asked by the residents, she will answer with a smile without hesitation, and will immediately dispel their anxiety.

Because Camilla does not look down at them from above, but looks at things from the same level as the residents, listens to the voices of the residents, and talks about protecting the city together, there are few people who would abandon their prized city and run away.

[ Looking at this situation, I think that if you tell me that by interfering with their measures, they will definitely accept the negotiations, but it feels like I’d be a bad guy. ]

[ But Kent-sama, the other party is that Camilla. If you don’t exploit her weaknesses, it’s difficult to meet your demands. ]

Even if I know that we need a way to hold the inhabitants hostage in order to gain an advantage in negotiations with Camilla, I don’t feel like it.

It was a difficult situation, but while I was watching the people of Lastock who were running around to take measures without losing hope, I was given a suggestion by Reinhardt.

[ Kent-sama, why don’t you take a look at the situation in the royal capital? ]

[ Well, yeah, if Basten is a landmark, I can easily go to the royal capital. ]

[ That’s right. In the future, there is no guarantee that negotiations won’t be held with the King, the First Prince, and the Second Prince. It’s better to visit once. ]

[ Well, I know the situation in Lastock, so let’s go once. Fred, is it okay to ask you for this reconnaissance? ]

Lastock’s reconnaissance was handed to Fred while I headed to the royal capital with Reinhardt.

If I use Basten, who is scouting in the royal capital, as a landmark, I can easily go the distance that would normally take days by horse-drawn carriage, so shadow movement is extremely convenient.

The royal capital, Aldaros, is located slightly east of present-day Resenburg and slightly north of the city, and is a water town where the four-storied water moat also serves as a waterway.

Across the first water moat from the huge royal castle is the aristocratic district, across the water moat from there is the public district where schools, government offices, theaters, etc are lined up, across the third moat is the commercial and industrial district, and across the fourth, outside the moat, is the area comprised of farmland where commoners live.

There is a tall tower in the royal castle, and the view overlooking from there was a masterpiece.

[ Buhahaha, it’s originally a place that only the royal family can enter, but thanks to being a member of Kent-sama’s genus, I was able to enter. No, it’s a superb view! ]

No matter how tall the tower of the royal castle is, it is less than half the height of the skyscrapers in Tokyo.

However, since there are no tall buildings around, you can enjoy a 360-degree view.

The outermost moat is approximately where the Yamanote line would be.

[ The royal capital draws water from a lake in the northeast, which is also used as domestic water. ]

It seems that there is a magic tool for purification in this world, and domestic wastewater is also purified before being returned, so the water in the moat is clear and fish are swimming.

The moat also serves as a canal, and a waterway connecting the moat is also created.

Of course, such channels are equipped with locks to block them in an emergency.

[ So Basten, how are things in the royal capital? ]

[ Yes, the King instructed the Chancellor to dispatch reinforcements, the First Prince instructed his faction to prepare to send reinforcements at any time, and the Second Prince was scouting the other camps, and both camps took measures. I think it’s in the process of being worked out. ]

[ Then, at least the reinforcements from the King will be dispatched soon, right? ]

[ No Kent-sama, it’s still in flux. ]

[ Why, didn’t the King order the dispatch? ]

[ Yes, but it seems to be stagnating at the Chancellor’s end. ]

According to Basten, the Chancellor is looking at the situation of the two Princes.

In Resenburg, the Chancellor is appointed by the King to take charge of the country’s business.

The work of the Chancellor is diverse, and it is said that a talented Chancellor may remain at the post even if the King changes.

To put it the other way around, an incompetent Chancellor is a waste of money if the King changes.

[ Then, isn’t it all the more necessary to dispatch reinforcements quickly? ]

[ Kent-sama, this is the creature called an aristocrat. ]

Camilla is so irritating that I want to make her cry someday, but I feel a little sympathetic to her in this situation.

No, not that. If I am sympathizing, it’s with the Lastock residents.

[ But if it takes so long to decide one thing, it wouldn’t be strange if the country continually collapsed. ]

[ For general events, if they follow the guidelines, there will be no particular problems. ]

[ Still, as a countermeasure against desertification, about 15 years ago, it seems that the western residents were relocated to the east side and carried out a large-scale reclamation project, adn the city that was created at that time was Lastock. ]

[ For the time being, they have taken measures. ]

[ That’s right, but it seems that no action has been taken since then. I think that desertification of the cultivated area on the west side would not have been as problematic as it is now if they had a soil-type mage and a water-type mage working together to take countermeasures. ]

[ Does that mean that the decision to take countermeasures has not yet been made? ]

Resenburg when Basten was alive, and the current Resenburg, have different territories, and may be strictly different countries.

However, if you trace the origin, if the country you lived in is in the current situation, it is no wonder that Basten has a reluctant face.

[ Hey, what kind of person is the King? I want to see him for a moment. ]

[ Would you like to see him? ]

[ Well, can I not see him? ]

Somehow, I was guided crisply by Basten and in no time, went to take a look into the King’s room.

The current King, Alexis Resenburg, was in the bathroom.

He is perhaps in his mid-fifties, he is plump and has a double chin.

His complexion was strangely reddish-black and looked unhealthy, and he had young women serving him and was drinking alcohol in the middle of the day.

[ This is the King? ]

[ Isn’t Resenburg no good anymore? ]

Both Basten and Reinhardt are holding their heads without words.

When I think that Camilla was born from such a man, I feel life is mysterious.

[ Well, are the First and Second Princes similar? ]

[ No, it’s not so bad. ]

With Basten’s guidance, I first took a peek at the First Prince.

Surprisingly, Alphonse, the First Prince, was thinking about how to deal with the maximum outbreak with the man in charge.

After seeing that parent, I felt it was unexpected, but if I think about it, it’s natural.

«Torvil, what time is it good to depart? Will Bernst let us through?»(TN:For some reason author changed it to Bernst from Bernhardt from the previous chapter.)

«Let’s decide the date and time of departure after checking the movement of Prince Bernst. It doesn’t make sense to be ready if he doesn’t let us pass.»

The First Prince, Alphonse Resenburg, is as thin as a crane in contrast to his father, the current King, and his skin color looks morbidly white.

From a while ago, a man named Torvil, who is a staff member, walks around the room like a bear in a zoo, and is much more calm.

«But, but, I think it’s a big deal because Camilla informed me so quickly.»

«As I can guess from the contents of the letter I saw, there is a part where Camilla-sama is swallowing Volzard’s story. Besides, there is a river between Lastock and the Devil’s Forest. Even if a maximum outbreak occured. By the way, it won’t be easily exceeded.»

«That’s right, it’s okay because there is a river.»

«Yes, and the most troublesome thing about crossing the river is Prince Bernst. While Camilla-sama is using the river to stop them, Bernst-sama should cheer them on.»

«That’s right, Bernst is more troubled than me.»

«Yes, that’s right.»

Still, Prince Alphonse continues to walk around the room.

This may be normal for him, not because of anxiety.

Torvil, the Chief of Staff, stared at Prince Alphonse, but after nodding twice as if he made up his mind, he called out.

«Wh, what is it, Torvil.»

Alphonse stopped, quivered, and turned his gaze to Torvil.

«Unless the desertification in the west stops or Camilla-sama’s development goes well, our inferiority will continue. Once we survive this maximal outbreak, Prince Bernst’s dominance will remain unwavering.»

«Th, that’s no good. I’m supposed to be the next King, not my brother.»

Alphonse’s indecision seemed to be the usual thing, Torvil didn’t seem disappointed and started talking.

«It’s definitely a difficult decision, so why not make a bet?»

«Bet? A bet, what in the world am I going to bet?»

«Even if you do an operation, it will be difficult to get enough troops unless a maximum outbreak occurs.»

Torvil casts a decisive gaze at Alphonse.

«Torvil, I’ll leave the arrangements to you.»

«I respectfully obey.»

Torvil grinned with a black smile, while bowing his head reverently

Meanwhile, Prince Alphonse began to roam the room again, biting his thumb nails.

[ Reinhardt, isn’t this dangerous? If a civil war begins when the maximum outbreak occurs, won’t the country really be destroyed? ]

[ Indeed. As it is now, Lastock’s response will not be sufficient. If a maximum outbreak occurs in this state, the tsunami of monsters will extend inland. ]

[ Basten, is the Second Prince taking measures to protect the inhabitants? ]

Looking at Basten’s expression, it’s obvious that no measures have been taken.

Yeah, it’s a skeleton, but I can see the expression perfectly.

[ I want to see what the Second Prince is like. ]

[ I will guide you. ]

The royal castle is divided into several buildings, and it seems that factions are formed in each area.

The area where the Second Prince stays gives a rough impression compared to the other places.

The Second Prince, Bernst Resenburg, is a fat man who, at first glance, can be understood as the son of the current King.

However, although they are not twins, there are two similar men.

[ Basten, which is the Second Prince? ]

[ Yes, the Second Prince Bernst is the one with reddish hair that is facing us, and the other one with the greenish hair is the Third Prince Christoph. ]

[ It’s not strange they’re similar since they’re brothers, but they’re very similar. ]

[ Yes, these two are the sons of the Second Queen, Terencia. ]

[ That means that the First Prince is the son of the First Queen? ]

[ That’s right. There are currently three Queens in the royal family, the First Queen Marguerite, the Second Queen Terencia, and the Third Queen Maylene, also, Camilla is the Third Queen’s daughter. ]

[ Then, is it like the First and Third Queens are joining hands against the Second Queen? ]

[ It’s not as simple as that. ]

According to Basten’s investigation, the First and Third Queens do not always seem to have a good relationship.

On the contrary, the First Queen seems to think that they are using it as a cover, and when the Second Prince wins the battle, she thinks that the Fourth Prince would be cut off.(TN:Not a typo, he’s not introduced yet, but there is a Fourth Prince as well.)

[ But, Camilla belongs to the First Prince faction, right? ]

[ It seems that is it more about preventing the Second Prince from getting out of control, rather than actively supporting him. ]

What is unfolding in front of me is a banquet by the Second and Third Princes and their entourage.

What is different from with the King is that there is no woman serving them, and the map of Resenburg is spread out on the table, and there is something of a noisy discussion.

«So what will you do, brother? Will you send reinforcements?»

«Just pretend to? Then we’re not sending them?»

«Yes, listen to me. This is a big trap that the First Prince faction’s Torvil thought about.»

At once the Second Prince, Bernst, drank the liquor in a breath, wiped his mouth roughly with his cuffs, and began to speak with a grin and a dull laugh.

«They have no choice but to send troops through our territory, but they’re in trouble if there is no excuse for doing so, thus they made up the story of a maximal outbreak.»

«Why lie about the maximal outbreak? Brother.»

«No, it may be true that Volzard was hit by a maximal outbreak, but there is a river between us and the Devil’s Forest. It’s not really a big deal.»

«Damn, hasn’t that weak, overly skinny person realize that he’s not fit to be a King yet?»

The liquor splattered as the Third Prince, Christoph, placed down his cup roughly.

«Kukuku, so rough Christoph.»

«That’s right, so we’ll make use of their strategy.»

«Pretend to cheer on Camilla, while the main force hides near the road they are heading to.»

«I see, pretend to be caught by their strategy and on the contrary, ambushing them, as expected of brother.»

Christoph lifts his hips off the sofa and exaggeratedly honors Bernst.

«Christoph, it’s going to be a big deal, maybe this time that Alphonse guy will be there too.»

«Yes, this time I’ll hold my breath. I’ll think about the reason later. The important thing is to make sure to take him down.»

«But brother, what about dealing with Camilla?»

«That’s why, pretend to send reinforcements and have a holding force against them.»

«Won’t that disperse the soldiers?»

«The army that will hit Camilla, is just soldiers for buying time. All we have to do is pretend that there are many soldiers. That woman’s favorite is her brother Diethelm. A fierce battle that loses power for Alphonse, she won’t do it.»

«Brother, can I join you?»

«Naturally, we’ll give her love until she breaks.»

«Hyahaha, I’m looking forward to what kind of voice that amateur will cry out.»

I may not be qualified to say it, but these guys are too bad.

Camilla has a younger brother whose mother is the same Third Queen, who is hiding under the patronage of the First Prince until Diethelm is empowered, and when the time is right, it seems that she wants to let her brother take over the throne.

[ Somehow, it’s messy, but is being a King really such a good thing? ]

[ Well, I don’t know, but it’s a good thing because you can live a good life with a body like that, isn’t it? ]

Basten, who speaks eloquently, seems to be terribly indignant.

From Reinhardt and Basten, the desire to protect the people comes straight to my heart.

Reinhardt doesn’t mention it, but he seems to be disappointed and angry at the appearance of such a royal family.

Then I have decided what to do.

[ We put Volzard’s safety first, but when the maximal outbreak occurs and Lastock is attacked. I will move to protect Lastock. ]

[ Kent-sama, are you sure? ]

Reinhardt and Basten together give me a knight’s salute.

Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

Chapter 83

Camilla’s ability to respond

The next morning, the knights of Resenburg left Volzard in a hurry.

Until the midpoint between Lastock and Volzard, they were repeatedly attacked by goblins and kobolds and were forced to struggle and lost four horses, but none of them chased after they broke through the Devil’s Forest.

Of course, we were going to watch from the shadows along the way and help if it was really dangerous, but it seemed that their fighting skill and judgment were excellent since they were selected as part of the messenger party.

[ Reinhardt, aren’t there too many goblins around Volzard? ]

[ That’s right, there is a fear that the grain market will skyrocket if it is left as it is. ]

[ Is it possible to think them out to the extent that it doesn’t rob the adventurers of their work? ]

[ It’s up to you, aoso, the messengers of Resenburg are back, and everyone is a little bored. Let’s defeat some of the pack and have them cannibalize them, and collect the magic stones when they become higher species. ]

[ Buhahaha, that’s certainly true. Let’s grow goblins to make money. ]

When Reinhardt gave out instructions, Zae-tachi and Art-tachi were happy to go out.(TN:Tachi = ‘The group of, and including, #Name’. I give up, I’ll just use tachi instead of ‘#Name and the others’ after this. If it seems weird to you guys, I can maybe change it to ‘#Name’s group’ but that sounds awkward.)

Yeah, it feels like they’re going to be eradicated.

As the sun set, the knights who left the Devil’s Forest galloped their horses towards the drawbridge, slowing down a bit, but not showing any signs of resting.

They make their horses drink water before the drawbridge descends, and advance their horses as soon as the drawbridge descends.

«Hey Paul, why didn’t you stay at Volzard for a few days?»

«Well, somehow, Volzard was hit by a goblin maximum outbreak.»

«What, is that true?»

«We also want to just laze around. But it’s about time the winds change, and the next target is Lastock.»

«You should be sent instructions soon, keep everyone ready to move.»

While Paul is talking to the knights on the drawbridge, the other knights are galloping their horses towards the garrison.

After arriving at the garrison, the party began to act without showing any signs of clearing the dirt off when they got off their horses.

Rondal and Levic headed for Camilla’s office.

Rondal looked at the guarding knight and knocked on the door without hesitation.

«It’s Rondal, I’m back from Volzard!»

Camilla, looking through the papers, stopped and glared at the door when she heard that Rondal was back.

Camilla’s eyes widened as if she was a little surprised at Rondal, who was dressed in dusty armor and looked angry, but had a strong will in his eyes.

«No, everyone arrived at Lastock safely.»

«So what happened, did you get attacked? Did you deliver the letter safely?»

«Yes! I definitely hadned the letter to Klaus Volzard.»

«And what’s the reply?»

«Those who escaped have not reached Volzard.»

«. That was the answer?»

«No, I don’t think they would have been able to reach Volzard.»

«Camilla-sama, Volzard was hit by a goblin maximum outbreak.»

«What did you say!»

The always calm Camilla hit the desk and stood up.

«The area around Volzard was filled with goblins, and even the ground was invisible.»

«It seems that Volzard doesn’t know the exact number, but he said it was in the hundreds of thousands or possibly more than a million.»

Even for Camilla, it seemed that she hadn’t expected the number of one million, and she froze for a moment with wide eyes.

«Before the maximum outbreak of goblins, there were outbreaks of hundreds of rock ogres and orcs.»

Camilla involuntarily covered her eyes with her right hand and took a deep breath.

«Is it possible the information was wrong?»

«When we headed to Volzard, goblins and kobolds were moving around at a density we have never experienced before.»

«Well, you did well to return safely.»

«Yes, I left Volzard early in the morning, so on the way home we were hit harder and lost four horses.»

«What, then how did you come back?»

«Yes, Volzard prepared us with twelve horses for our return trip. All of them were hand-picked horses, half of them were riderless horses, and the injured horses were abandoned. And we were able to get through.»

After opening her eyes, Camilla slowly closed her eyes again, took a second breath, and then opened her eyes.

«Do you think we can protect Lastock if it is hit by a maximal outbreak of the same scale?»

«No, the amount of water in the river is decreasing due to the dry season, and it seems that it will allow them to cross the river and invade the city.»

«Immediately start planning measures!»

Levic stepped forward at Camilla’s words.

«Camilla-sama, here is a draft that we thought of while we were in Volzard. Please consider measures based on this.»

Camilla was in a good mood and loosened her mouth, and then she began to read the documents she was handed.

However, as she read several of them, deep wrinkles were carved between Camilla’s eyebrows.

«Rondal, Levic, do you think we’ll be in time?»

«To be honest, we don’t think we can make it in time.»

«Camilla-sama, I think it would be better if you asked for help from His Majesty the King.»

«Well, ok, I approve all of this plan. Get started right away with people, materials, money, and get it done in time!»

Rondal and Levic rushed out of Camilla’s office, as if they had forgotten their exhaustion of traversing the Devil’s Forest.

Camilla who remained, cleaned up the documents she had spread out and began to reconfirm the drafts that Rondal and his colleagues had come up with.

After confirming, Camilla wrote on three sheets of paper while holding a pen and matching the numbers.

Finally, after checking the numbers again, Camilla then wrote three letters.

She attached the paper with the numbers written on them to each letter, put them in three envelopes, and sealed them with wax.

They are addressed to Alexis, her father. The First Prince Alphonse, and the Second Prince Bernhardt.

Camilla seems to be determined to repel the disaster that will break out in Lastock, even if it requires the help of the Second Prince Bernhardt, with whom she continues to be hostile.

«Bacchus, take a swift horse to the royal castle!»

Bacchus, who was handed the letters, rushed out of the office.

[ Basten, take some kobolds, can you explore the situation of the royal castle? ]

[ Understood, I’ll take six of them for contact purposes. ]

Basten-tachi immediately chased after Bacchus.

Camilla instructed her secretary to deliver the letters and began to scrutinize the contents of the draft.

It seems that the items written in the draft are prioritized and written out, and the parts that seem to be excessive or deficient are corrected.

Her figure is that of a normal officer who is familiar with the business, and it is far from the normal image of a Princess.

[ What do you think? Reinhardt. ]

[ Frankly, she is a talented general. She doesn’t hesitate to ask her political opponents for help when she sees a national danger. ]

[ According to Basten’s research, the current King Alexis Resenburg seems to be opportunistic and not very well respected by the public. ]

[ Will there be any effect for Camilla to have written a letter? ]

[ Kent-sama, he’s the current King, so it’s okay to just ask the Second Prince for help and not report to the King. ]

[ Yes, that’s right. ]

While I was talking to Reinhardt, Camilla continued to work with tremendous concentration.

She assigns the people who will be in charge of the measures that have been prioritized and written out.

However, the pen stopped halfway, and the fingertips of her left hand began to hit the desk steadily in an irritated manner.

[ Maybe there aren’t enough people. ]

[ Well, is that so? You can see it well. ]

[ Buhahaha, I wasn’t the Branch Leader for no reason. There may be an intention to avoid conflict with the Second Prince, but the personnel at this garrison are not enough. ]

Camilla’s troops at Lastock’s garrison are just under 120, not enough troops for everything.

[ It seems that she asked the First Prince for reinforcements, but will they come? ]

[ Well, because Camilla is in the First Prince’s faction, right? Speaking of countermeasures for the maximum outbreak, reinforcements will come soon, right? ]

[ Because it’s a national crisis. In the event of a maximal outbreak, the first to suffer will be the eastern part of Resenburg, where the Second Prince’s faction is gathering. ]

[ That’s right, but will the Second Prince really trust Camilla’s words. ]

[ But Camilla is also requesting support from the Second Prince. Won’t he trust her? ]

[ How could he? He’s too dazzled by the throne. ]

Reinhardt predicts that even if the First Prince’s reinforcements come, it will be after the Second Prince’s forces have entered Lastock and confirmed that measures are actually being taken to counter the maximal outbreak.

Camilla seems to have rushed a messenger to the royal capital on a fast horse, so each of them will be informed tomorrow morning.

After that, they will have to consider whether to send reinforcements, and Reinhardt predicts that the Second Prince will move the day after tomorrow.

[ No, no, isn’t that too late? It’s a maximum outbreak, it’s a national crisis. ]

[ Kent-sama hasn’t seen any aristocrats other than Klaus-dono and Camilla, so you might think so, but I think it’s still early. ]

If it’s a talented aristocrat, they will respond immediately to the news, but if it’s an ordinary aristocrat, they will start by checking the facts.

After confirming that the news is true, they will finally discuss countermeasures and take action.

[ It takes time to confirm the facts and discuss countermeasures, they have to explore the situation of other powers before taking action, so it’s no wonder it takes more time. ]

[ But the Second Prince is a sharp and able person, and there is a possibility that support will come soon, right? ]

[ The information gathered by Basten makes it seem unlikely. If they’re out of luck in the first place, they’ll be more proactive in taking advantage of the fact that the First Prince’s faction is exhausted by the effects of desertification. ]

[ Well, if you want to pull out the Second Prince and get funding, it’s better to wait until they have a sense of crisis. ]

[ But if a maximum outbreak occurs while we wait for it, and if there is a great deal of damage, there will no longer be a ritual for compensation or repatriation. ]

[ That’s right, it’s quite difficult to set up. ]

If a maximal outbreak occurs before the countermeasures are completed, it may be necessary to have all my genus play an active role in order to curb the damage to Resenburg.

[ Reinhardt, the only way to protect Lastock is to use the river, right? ]

[ That’s right. It has a big role as a natural water moat. ]

[ In Volzard, the dead goblins gathered under the walls and it was a dangerous situation, but Lastock is in a similar situation, isn’t it? ]

[ Well, if the corpses make the river shallow, there is a danger of crossing the river all at once. ]

[ What do you want to do? ]

In Volzard, the goblin corpses were dropped into the shadow space and cleaned up, but if I try to do the same thing in the river, a lot of water is likely to flow in.

I was able to leave the corpses of the Salamanders and goblins there temporarily, so I feel that the capacity is okay, but if the river water flows into the shadow space, the amount of water downstream will decrease and it will have an adverse effect.

[ Is it better to think of another method? ]

[ That’s right, in this case, it’s okay if it’s partially scraped. ]

[ If you cut it partially, the river will wash it away. ]

[ To put it differently, you should aim at the part that is obstructing the flow and cut it. ]

At the walls of Volzard, I was the only one to clean up the corpses no matter how long I waited.

However, in the case of Lastock, if the river flows normally, the monsters cannot cross.

[ Then, will this me and the rest go into their camp and rampage? ]

[ Well, that’s not the case. Yes, it’s just a demonstration. ]

Occasionally, my thoughts seem to leak to Reinhardt and the rest, but now I understand that Reinhardt’s feelings can be picked up.

[ Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. ]

[ I’ll handle it if such a situation happens. ]

Somehow Reinhardt looks like a large dog waiting for a walk.

After issuing the messenger, Camilla seems to concentrate on planning countermeasures, and since there seems to be no movement today, I decided to return to Volzard.

[ Then Fred, please monitor Camilla. ]

I returned to Volzard and told Oda-sensei what Camilla-tachi were like.

Oda-sensei was also surprised at the slow movement of Resenburg.

«Is it really that time consuming?»

«Yes, I’m also exploring the situation at the royal capital, so I think I can deliver that information as well.»

After nodding sharply, Oda-sensei turned his gaze upwards to think a little and then started talking.

«After that, there is a part that depends on the other party’s appearance, but when it comes to negotiations, it is necessary to move to Lastock. Is there a good method?»

«I’m sorry, I rely on Kokubu for everything.»

«No, I think it’s a time for everyone to use what they can.»

The one-horse carriage in the garrison warehouse would be a reasonable size.

By the time the meeting with Oda-sensei was over, it was completely dark.

Amanda-san’s shop is about to settle down, so when I left the garrison’s dormitory to go back to my boarding house and have dinner, I was stopped by a boy from another class.

«Kokubu, do you have a minute?»

Because our classes are different, the boy whose name I don’t know is the type who looks like an adult wearing glasses.

Prompted to follow him, I went to the pathway between the dormitories, and several boys were waiting.

There are no street lights around, only the light leaking from the rooms on the second floor, so it’s probably dim, but I have good night vision and I can see their moody expressions.

«Bastard, aren’t you getting a bit carried away?»

«Stop it! You promised to talk calmly.»

One boy tried to poke in, but another stopped him.

There are a total of seven boys, including the boy who first called out to me, but all of them are the non-athletic type.

Perhaps he was the coordinator, a tall lanky boy broached the subject as their representative.

«Probably, I think you know it a bit, our talk is about Asakawa-san.»

«Frankly, we want Asakawa-san to be free. We don’t want to see Asakawa-san suffering.»

As if the words of the representative were the spark, the other boys also opened their mouths.

«Because of you, yesterday and today, she’s been trying hard the whole time.»

«I’m grateful for your help, but it is terrible to force such a decision.»

«I know you want to stay. If you can use that much magic, but Asakawa-san should be free.»

«It’s not the same as getting married in Japan, you’ll never see your family again.»

«Isn’t it too greedy to take Asakawa-san when you already have two other cute girls?»

As the chairman who supported everyone at Lastock, it is natural that there is such a reaction, and I think that everyone is correct.

Sure, in Japan you can meet your family even if you get married, but if she chooses to stay in Volzard, she won’t be able to meet them again.

When asked if I currently have the right to force her to make that choice, my heart is shaken.

«We are outsiders, so I know we don’t have the right to say this. I know, but I can’t see Asakawa-san like that.»

«Shouldn’t you withdraw for Asakawa-san?»

«You probably like Asakawa-san, so let her be free.»

«That would be the best choice for Asakawa-san.»

If they’re swearing at me, I might be repulsed and make fun of them, but if they calmly persuade me, I can’t find words to return.

When everyone looked up at the words that suddenly came down, there was a person looking down from the window on the second floor.

The boys surrounding me don’t seem to be able to see her face because she’s backed by the lights in the room, but the one looking down is Kizawa Sumika.

«What, it’s for Asakawa-san? Isn’t it because you want to kick down Kokubu so you can take over his position?»

«What did you say, who are you! Are you on Kokubu’s side!»

«Uwaaa, what an idiot. I’m hostile to Kokubu myself, just confess your intention is to aim at Asakawa.»

The boys who surrounded me screamed, and several people looked down while opening other windows to see what happened.

«See, the number of spectators has increased, and if you think you’re in the right, keep going.»

«What, what, what are you talking about?»

The classmates who appeared are curious at the words of Kizawa Sumika and are watching over the situation.

«Uwaa, your small-fry feeling is exposed, or rather, you don’t have the guts to confess your feelings, you trash.»

The boys who surrounded me broke away.

«Thank you, Kizawa-san, I’m saved.»

«Haa? Don’t be stupid, who would help you, you trash!»

«If you drive away the cockroaches that flock to the trash, the trash will still be trash, so don’t get me wrong! You trash!»(TN:Tsundere is saying that trash is better than cockroaches.)

Kizawa Sumika just said what she wanted to say, then withdrew her face and closed the window.

The classmates who were looking out the other windows also closed their windows one after another, feeling that the commotion was over.

I feel a little tired when left alone in the dark.

Let’s dive into the shadows and go back to the boarding house.

Cheat Magician Life That Started From Being Judged Useless

63 Wizard of the drugstore

After asking Marianne to allow us to borrow the stable and carriage, we moved to the Rustock garrison to take care of the chairman of the committee.

We had a little time before noon, so I took a peek at the training, and it was definitely something of an eerie experience.

From what I heard from the classmates who were rescued, the knight-type training was very stiff at the beginning, but they were constantly getting badly injured, so they would show off and decide who was the winner and who was the loser, and then they would perform.

However, they trained with the knights of Riesenburg looking around, so it wasn’t a perfect performance, and as a result, they were constantly getting fresh injuries.

But the battle that is unfolding in front of him now doesn’t look like an act at all.

They are looking at their opponents with bloodshot eyes, and at any opportunity, they are fighting fiercely, as if they are trying to stab their opponents to stop them.

He seems to be thinking that the only way to survive is to become stronger, and if he remains weak, he will surely die.

After the fight is over, there are a number of people moaning and groaning in a crouched position, and it is gloomy to think that the chairman of the committee alone is going to treat them.

When I moved to the examination room, I found the chairman of the committee continuing to treat the patients with an expressionless expression on his face.

He seems to have been acting out since the five people he had rescued earlier were believed to be dead, and he is not smiling and interacting with the residents of Rastock who came to treat him as he used to do.

‘How in the world did they get rid of them. ‘

It’s as if he’s become a changed man.

‘I heard something happened to one of your guys but I hope you’re back to smiling like you used to.

Residents of Rustock who come to receive treatment can hear the anxiety in their voices as the reason for the chairman’s blank expression is not revealed.

In the meantime, the residents who are not in a hurry for treatment are walking out of the waiting room as their classmates who have finished their training show up.

»Looks like the saint’s friends are here. Let’s leave it for later.

‘Well, I can’t burden the saint any more. ‘

Originally, it seems the priority was given to the residents of Rustock, but after seeing the chairman’s attitude and the severity of their classmates’ injuries, the residents voluntarily refrained from treating them.

‘Come on, everyone go inside and give priority to those who are badly injured.

The chairperson shed her previous expressionlessness and repeated a deep breath and began to treat her, leaning her whole body into it.

‘Is that the effect of treating him day after day until he feels like he’s going to collapse?

Originally, he made the crystal of the demon’s eye shine so brightly that it seemed to crush his eyes, so the level of improvement must be high.

He also heals broken bones and severe lacerations one after another, but the chairman’s complexion seems to get worse and worse with each person he finishes healing, which makes me feel on edge as I watch.

Since I can’t cast a healing spell on the chairman right now, I’ll dose the chairman with a pill that will help him recover his magic power.

Hey, Yuuka, are you okay? You’re not pushing yourself?

‘Yeah, it’s okay, I’ve got a prince on my side.

»Huh. really, I can help you just by talking to Yuuka.

The girls waiting for the treatment softened their expressions, a little dumbfounded that the chairman of the committee had started talking like a dream again.

»Don’t worry, I’m sure the prince will come to your rescue one day, so don’t give up hope.

‘Yeah, well, since Yuuka says so, there’s no doubt about it.

I’m not a prince gala, but I renewed my belief that I must definitely live up to everyone’s expectations.

Dazed and dizzy, the chairperson finished treating his classmates, and then collapsed down on the sofa.

Erna, the caretaker, silently draped the blanket over her, bowed silently, and walked out of the examination room.

I asked Fred to keep an eye on her and when I stepped out front, the chairman of the committee opened his arms and asked for a hug.

‘Stupid Kento I can smell the girl again. ‘

No, I won’t allow it and I want you to sizzle.

The chairperson clings to me tightly, and I do my best to channel my healing magic into her.

Even the body that seemed a little cold seems to have grown warmer, and it makes me more aware of the existence of Yuuka.

I’ll be back to pick you up tomorrow or the night after tomorrow.

Absolutely I promise I’m at my wits’ end and we’re all at our wits’ end.

Yeah, just hang on a little longer.

We hugged each other until Erna returned and then left the examination room.

Now let’s go back to Volzard and finish making arrangements for the sleeping pills.

I visited a small apothecary in a back street off the main street and was greeted by Muel’s mentor.

»Ko, hello, Mr. Cory.»

In front of a wall full of drawers filled with various medicines, behind the counter, Cory is an old woman who looks like a wizard.

Her face, carved with deep wrinkles, looks as if she would be convinced that she’s three hundred years old, and to be honest, it’s a little scary.

Mr. Cory stared at my face for a while, then loosened his mouth with a grin and showed me a couple of missing teeth.

‘Welcome, coloured man, there are two of you today. ‘

»Hee hee hee, don’t get stabbed for being too wobbly. We don’t want our customers to die.

Maybe it’s because he prepares medicine, but Mr. Cory is very sensitive to smell, and he seems to be able to smell not only the perfume, but also the body odor of the chairman of the committee.

‘So, how old are you today?’

Yes, I’ll need two hundred of those sizes, please.

Well you’re going to have to start somewhere.

Yes, we’re going to do it the night after tomorrow.

I’ve already told Cory what’s going on and explained to him what I’m going to use the sleeping pills for.

That’s a problem.

What, you don’t think there’s enough to go around?

«Hee hee hee hee, I’m not going to make that mistake I’m not going to have to use drugs once this mission is over, am I? I’m telling you we’re losing clients.

Ah, I see. but I’m going to continue to take care of the medicines that aid in the recovery of magical power and so on.

But since it looks like you’re going to stay on this side of the border I hope you’ll stay on as long as you like.

When I bowed my head again, Mr. Cory nodded his head a few times.

‘You’re good. Gilik and his cronies shouldn’t be so crass. The big figure is an eyesore too. »

Mr. Cory is bitter about Gillik, but it would certainly be an eyesore if there was a man of that size hanging around in this little shop.

I smiled bitterly at the thought of him, and Mr. Cory smiled as well.

‘Go sit there and wait, I’ll get you something to eat right now.

At first glance, you might think he was a Buddha, but surprisingly, he was very hale and hearty in his old age, preparing the sleeping pills for us.

After paying for the pills, he put them into the shadows to prevent them from falling out.

When Mr. Cory saw this, his eyes widened a bit, and then he smiled again with a grin.

»Hee hee, I’ve been alive for a long time, but this is the first time I’ve met someone who can use and show off their magic without chanting. How in the world do you do it?

Hee hee hee, you’re a really funny kid you’re going to have to take Muelle too, anyway.

Yeah I don’t think so.

Hee-hee, you thought for a minute.

«You’re a man of your thoughts. You’re not much of a negotiator.

»Goo. Huh, I’m having trouble with that negotiation thing waiting for me in the future.

Hee-hee, you might as well wear a mask.

Oh, yeah, that’s the way it works.

I thought it might be a good move to put on a mask and negotiate with him, if it would reveal what I was thinking, and then Cory laughed at me.

‘Ah ha ha, this is a masterpiece. Who would take it seriously, where in the world would someone wear a mask to negotiate?

But I’m from another world, so.

Oh. you’re really funny. Here, take this with you.

Mr. Cory placed the small medicine bottle on the counter.

It’s called a booster, and if you take it, you can fight for half a day without running out of magic but when it wears off, you’ll be in bed for three whole days.

Hee-hee, if I had, I’d be putting it out there.

I’m sure you’ll come home to enjoy the old woman’s retirement you know, you’re busy, aren’t you?

Yes, I’ll stop by again when things settle down.

Mr. Cory nodded yes and waved me off as he shooed me away.

I left the apothecary on the back street and ducked into the shadows from the alleyway and moved down to Reinhardt’s group.

Reinhardt and the others said that today they were going to clean up the demons around the streets and clear the streets.

All of the subordinates were at a place near Riesenburg on the city road, where they were filling in the rainwater pools and leveling them out.

All at once, Alto and the others dug the soil by the side of the road and filled in the holes where the rainwater had collected.

If you look closely, you can see that the tools for leveling the road have been prepared.

»Reinhardt, where did you get those from?

From a warehouse in Rastock’s garrison, of course.

»It was gathering dust in the back of the warehouse, so there’s no need to worry about it. Perhaps it was prepared for use when your friend’s training is over and you’re clearing the forest.

‘Well, in a way, it’s the right way to use it, so. ‘

Looking in the direction where the work is not being done, it seems that the work has already been done there and the road is nicely prepared.

I had the impression that the road was rough since it was only passed by the merchant corps on rare occasions, but this seems to make for a comfortable carriage trip.

The Landsholt Republic, of which Volzade is a member, was originally a part of Riesenburg, but after the erosion of the Devil’s Forest made it difficult to get around, the lords of the seven provinces got together and declared their independence.

After the erosion of the Devil’s Forest made it difficult to get around, the lords of the seven provinces got together and declared their independence, so the relationship between them is still tenuous.

But they can’t predict what will happen if the Riesenburg side continues to cultivate the Devil’s Forest and shorten the distance between them.

However, the cultivation of the Devil’s Forest is not as easy as it sounds, so it’s no more than a ‘hypothetical. ‘ story, according to them, and there are few people who think about it as a real problem.

»Master, a big lizard is coming.

I was watching over the maintenance of the road when a tart who had been out scouting spoke to me.

‘A big lizard? Lizardman?

No, bigger lizards.

«Master Kent, I think it might be the Salamander.

Is that the guy you were bragging about taking down the Flamehound?

«Yes, it’s a very dangerous monster. What do you want?

‘Of course, we have to take them down but you all need to stop working for a moment and hide in the shadows!

I’ve never seen the actual salamander in the first place, so I decide to watch it instead of fighting it out of the blue.

Looking in the direction that Tart indicated, I see a shadow approaching through the forest.

I mean, the reddish-brown hills seem to be moving.

»No, I think it’s too big, as expected, usually about half that size. »

»Is this another effect of the Demon Forest’s revitalization?»

I don’t know, but there’s a good chance.

Moving through the forest, the salamander is about the size of a regular truck in body and head alone, and if you add in the length of its tail, it’s likely to be longer than a large truck.

It is reddish-brown in color and its back is covered with hard-looking scales, and even the parts without scales are lumpy.

The scales and skin of a salamancer have special properties and are said to be resistant to fire if it passes through magic.

Therefore, the salamander in its living state is said to be completely immune to fire-based magic.

The scales and skin after death are also said to be fire resistant when passing magic power, although they are inferior to when they are alive, and are used in armor and fire extinguishing equipment.

»Do those things breathe fire?»

It’s a very good idea to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

It’s spitting, I’m going to spit out flaming bullets with several times the power of the no good hero to the point where it seems inexhaustible, but when it’s that size. it’s terrifying to think about.

Wow. he’s on a monster level.

Since they are highly dangerous even in their normal size, when they appear near a city, it’s more common to threaten them rather than defeat them.

This is because if they rampage in a poor attempt to defeat them, the possibility of damage to the surrounding area from stray bullets such as flaming bullets increases.

The reason why the Flame Hounds said that they had defeated them was probably because they had come very close to the city, or they had been brought into the city, or they had defeated the ones that were lurking away from the city.

‘When you say threatening, how do you do it?’

»Salamanders are vulnerable to water-attribute attack magic. or rather, they hate it, so it’s common to line up water-attribute sorcerers and drive them back with attack magic.

‘I see. but we don’t have any water-attribute sorcerers here, do we?

»Well, I suppose it’s up to Kent-sama’s light-attribute attack magic or us to attack them from the inside and defeat them.

Considering the rescue mission, we should definitely defeat them, but it’s a bit awkward to defeat a salamander that only looks like a living dinosaur.

»By the way, if we kill one salamander, it will probably cost two or three dozen times the price of a Gigawolf.»

»Of course, it’s so dangerous that a small town could easily be destroyed, and it will require at least a dozen skilled adventurers to defeat it.

Does that mean the three flamehounds are pretty awesome?

«What? We don’t even know the size of the individual we defeated, and the water-attribute user who is said to have been involved in the unfortunate accident of the example may have been terrific.»

While I was talking to Reinhardt, the giant salamanders came very close to the street.

I’m not sure if the goblins and other animals are attracted by the activities of Reinhardt and his team, or if they have no luck with their prey, they are constantly twitching their noses and sniffing their surroundings.

I’m sure you’re not the only one who’s interested.

If he goes to Rastok, do you think the Risenburg knights will be able to turn him away or defeat him?

A salamander of this size is the stuff of legends, a natural disaster, and if we don’t have the whole country behind us, we’ll never make it.

No choice, we’ll take them down.

I didn’t want Rustock to be attacked and confused at this time, and I didn’t want my classmates to be harmed, so I decided to take them down.

I connected the shadow space in the salamander’s head and used my large knife to slice through the medulla oblongata.

The salamander, who had raised his head high and smelled it, stopped moving and fell flat with a ground shaking.

‘What will you do with this?’

‘Ummm I think I’ll ask Mr. Donovan to help me out. ‘

I’m sure Mr. Donovan will be appalled, but it’s a reasonable choice. Well, we will store it in the shadow space.

Maybe it’s a good thing that we can defeat dangerous demons without danger, but I can’t help but feel somewhat guilty for taking the life of a huge creature.

I can’t imagine a scene where salamanders and humans can coexist, but I couldn’t help but wonder if there’s a better way to do it without interfering with each other.

I decided to have Reinhardt, Artoo and the others continue to work on the road and I would return to Volzard to purchase the salamander.

The guild is a bit quiet as there is still some time until evening and it is a bit later for those who have finished their work to report and those who have collected materials to ask for a purchase.

After requesting a meeting with Donovan-san at the counter, I was led to the back office space.

Donovan-san seemed to be sitting at his desk enjoying a cup of tea in his free time, and he beckoned me over.

‘Well, sit down, I’ll make you a cup of tea. ‘

Perhaps it’s rare for Donovan-san to serve tea, and all the guild staff around her cast curious glances at her.

Donovan-san brewed the tea with a delicate hand that didn’t match his physique and appearance.

»Hmph, you were just thinking about being rude again. »

And, no way, no way. oh, yes, I will.

The tea seemed to be different from the one I had the other day, but the mellow aroma and taste was wonderful.

‘Well okay what’s the matter, what’s up?’

‘Yes, I wanted to ask you to buy me out. ‘

Well, another giga wolf how many are there this time?

No, it’s a salamander.

Mr. Donovan, who doesn’t seem to be fazed by anything, has spewed out his tea with all his might.

I mean, even the staff are sitting up with their eyes wide open.

‘Where, where did you see him!

‘Well it’s a place on the Riesenburg side of the road, but. ‘

An adult? How big is this thing? Which way we’re headed!

I think it’s an adult, but. well, we defeated it and I’d like to buy it from you.

Oh, I think you’re all kind of frozen.

After a few moments of freezing, Donovan-san sighed heavily.

»Haha I heard you were a salamander and I unintentionally forgot that I shouldn’t treat you like a normal guy.

‘No, no, I’m a bit unwilling to be treated like such a freak. ‘

What’s the point of a guy who just blurts out that he’s taking down a salamander if he’s not a crank?

‘Of course, scales, hides, fangs, claws, bones, there’s plenty of demand for them, of course they’ll buy them.

‘So you’ll be the same as you were at Gigawolf?

Well, all right, finish your drink and take it out to the back training grounds.

Mr. Donovan urged with his hand to sit down, and all the staff sat down, exhaling heavily.

‘I knew salamanders were dangerous demons.

‘Of course, what are you talking about? Even Volzard’s walls don’t know how long they can hold out if they keep getting hit by flaming bullets, and once they get into the city, how much damage they can do. A rock ogre can deal with a skilled adventurer. Even a giga wolf would be able to defeat it itself with a few people. But if we’re going to fight against a salamander while defending the city, the garrison and the adventurers will have to mobilize all of us!

»On the contrary, it also means that your consort, who defeated the Salamander, is no match for your garrison, Volzard’s garrison and adventurers, even with all of them. »

Donovan-san brought his cup to his mouth with a reluctant smile.

»Well I was the one who did the defeating. »

I’m sorry, I just thought it was a bit amusing that Donovan-san was so upset. I could have kept my mouth shut.

»Well, it was kind of a surprise. »

Geez you’re ruining my tea, man, forget what you just heard.

Donovan-san stopped talking to the guild staff and then glared at me with a guileless stare and increased.

»Kent! Let’s pretend we beat him with our family members you understand?

If they find out you beat them alone, they’re going to want to test your skills on a flood of idiots.

Well that’s a problem.

‘Brawl, duel, and if you add any more work to my work, I’ll appeal to Mr. Klaus to move you up in rank I’ll have you sitting at this desk.

Please don’t do that.

Then keep your asses down!

I failed, and let’s keep in mind that being an adventurer is not a good idea if you get carried away.
