novelGoing around the towns
| ← Ch.235 | Ch.237 → |
「Rondo! Something happened, let's talk quickly. 」
「What is it!? Is something wrong, Seiji?」
「A horde of monsters whom the devil-kin controls are heading towards this town.
You have to make preparations to intercept fast. 」
「What!?」
Upon arriving at Nippo town, the reaction of a horde of monsters that seemed to be under the control of the devil-kin has appeared on the map.
The monster types are『Great rat』and『Wolf』, but their number is quite large.
Someone may die if it isn't handled properly.
「Alright, understood. 」
Rondo seemed to have assumed such a situation and quickly began to give instructions to his subordinates.
He was quite an excellent fellow.
「Ah, it's Seiji and Hilda!」
Misha-san spotted us and called out.
She probably came to Rondo's place to prepare for the battle.
「Did you by any chance come here to help with the『devil-kin interception battle』, Seiji?」
The『Devil-kin interception battle』, huh~.
Since when did the battle that will be starting right now has such a name?
「Unfortunately, we only came here to inform you guys about the approaching devil-kin.
We have to go and see the situation of the other towns after this. 」
「N? That situation of the other towns??」
「Yes, the devil-kin's attack isn't only happening in this town, but to other towns as well. 」
「It became such a serious matter, huh. 」
Misha-san's expression stiffened for an instant, and seeing Hilda's worried face―
「Well, no need to worry since I will finish every devil-kin that comes with water magic!」 she pretended to be tough.
However, the closing in 1000 devil-kin has a scale clearly larger than the one at that time in the demon town...... will it be alright?
When I was worrying, Hilda tugged at my clothes.
「Is something wrong, Hilda?」
「Seiji-onii-chan,
I'd like to remain in this town, and be Misha-san's helper. 」
「It's no good! It's dangerous!」
「But...... 」
Certainly, Hilda has conspicuously improved her skill in magic.
However......
「Then onii-chan, I will stay too, and protect Hilda. 」
「Aya, you-!?」
Well, if it's Elena, it will become two rear guards, and if it's Mai-san, it will become two children (appearance wise), there's no choice but to go with the process of elimination, huh......
「Understood, I'll leave her to you, Aya. 」
「Whoopee!」
「But Aya, you are Hilda's bodyguard this time!
Don't charge into the enemy alone, okay?」
「I understand already!!」
I have no choice here but to place my trust in Aya, huh.
「Rondo, Misha-san,
I will leave Aya and Hilda to you guys, I'm counting on you. 」
「Aya-san!?」
What are you getting excited for, Rondo?
「I will protect Aya-san!」
「Well, it's particularly good to be considerate, look after her so that she won't act rashly. 」
With Rondo's direction, she will find it difficult to act rashly......
「Hilda will stay?
Although I'm glad, but is it alright?」
Misha-san is worrying about Hilda, huh.
But Misha-san, Hilda has become considerably strong, you know?
Please don't be surprised, and wet yourself, okay?
That reminds me, I'll have Elena put a divine protection here too.
「Elena, can you use the Divine protection of Recovery spirit soon?」
「Yes, since I've eaten a lot of Japanese sweets, I'm already fine. 」
Elena raised the【Staff of Aesculapius】and put up a【Divine protection of Recovery spirit】on Nippo town.
When the light of the【Divine protection of the Recovery spirit】wrapped around the surroundings, Rondo and Misha-san were considerably astonished.
「Elena-sama, what's this magic!?」
「Elena received the【Staff of Aesculapius】from Butte-sama, and acquired new magic.
It's an amazing magic that recovers strength, magic power, and wounds as long as one is inside the town. 」
「A-, Amazing!!」
Rondo looks at Elena as if looking at a god.
「For your sake, Elena-sama, I will protect this town by all means and show it to you. 」
Rondo knelt toward Elena.
There's one more additional believer of Elena.
「Well then, I will entrust this town to you guys, Aya, Hilda. 」
「Un. 」「Yes. 」
We left Aya and Hilda and went to the next town using【Teleportation】.
***
We came to Cassandra-san's1 pioneer village.
「How's it going, Cassandra-san?」
「Oh, Seiji, what's the matter?」
Somehow or another, the devil-kin doesn't seem to be approaching toward this village.
「The devil-kin is going to attack the Nippo town.
It seems to be fine here, but please be careful just in case. 」
「What!?
Are Rondo and Misha alright?」
「Since I left behind Hilda and my imouto there, they will be able to manage somehow or another. 」
「You left behind Hilda!?
Why did you do such a thing!?」
「Rachel-san, Hilda has recently improved her skill.
She will play an active role for sure. 」
「I-, Is that so?」
「Well, I will come to help if it becomes dangerous. 」
「Umu, that's for sure, okay?
If there's anything happened to Hilda, I will absolutely not forgive you!」
「Understood.
By the way, is the defense of this village alright?」
「As you've said, we made a wall and moat around the village, and have the soldier guards from Nippo town patrol around, they won't be able to get us easily. 」
Well, it's probably alright since I can't see any enemy on the map.
I put a tracking beacon on Rachel-san for the time being, and went to the next town.
***
We went to Suga town, Ebisu town, and Shinaga town― and I wasn't able to see the enemy anywhere of those.
For the time being, I put a tracking beacon on Butte-sama, and on each entrances of Suga and Shinaga town.
Since the number of tracking beacon had reached the upper limit, I removed the beacons attached on the cursed golden mask, on nose-pierced-stalker man who was still bedridden at the hospital, and on myself and used them here.
But the only one I wasn't able to check up on was『Toki town』......
It's impossible since I haven't been to Toki town.
I haven't been there since there's no mana crystal, but if I have a free time, I'll be sure to go there once.

1 It was supposed to be Rachel-san who is in charge of the pioneer village. Probably an oversight from the author's side.
