29 Episode 29 "Quest Introduction to the Count Who Wants to Be a Hero".txt

The sheath of the giant magic sword blows the warriors away.

One person, two people, three people, three people, one person - eight people.

Delayed Combat is a skill that allows you to store the power of a wielded weapon between the time it is activated and the time it is released.

I was collecting slime in this swamp the whole time while swinging my magic sword, so it's quite powerful. As expected of someone who can withstand it...

"Nugwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu!

Oh...... the Count endures.

I'm sure it's because he's wearing the same magic armor as Tanaka.

But it just doesn't blow away. The Count is also unable to withstand the impact and rolls away.

And the sword wind lifts the bodies of the slimes that were trying to escape.

...... I'm sorry. I'll give you an extra reward later.

After the "Delayed Combat" strike passes through the swamp...

The warriors were all lying on the ground.

Weapons broken, shields blown off, armor battered.

Completely and utterly incapable of fighting, but ...... not dead, right?

Okay, then, strip off your helmet.

It's 'memory wipe-out LV1'. Stay put!

Rita smears the warriors' helmets and Aine strokes the faces that appear with the broomstick.

Some of them are resisting, but they are repeatedly stroked by the broomstick and eventually pass out.

Cecil and Leticia are checking on the warriors' condition.

The only injury is a broken limb. If it's only that much, the Count and his good friend, the 'Iturna Order', will be able to take care of it.

Of course, the slimes we had to evacuate were not harmed either.

...... haha.

It was manageable.

When you are stuck, first crush the wizards, neutralize the strong warrior-type guys, surround them, drive them into a dense state, and then wipe them out with a ranged attack. It's a tactic that got some great complaints when I incorporated it into the enemy's routine in a game I made myself.

The only reason it worked was because I was lucky, and it was all thanks to the Magic Sword Reggie. I'm sure.

I'll have to thank the slime guys later.

"Not so fast, my Lord.

The Magic Sword Reggie murmured as he shook.

''They have all informed me. "People who are crazy enough to negotiate properly with us slime are so precious, I didn't want them to die!

I don't feel like I'm being complimented.

But the slimes are happily bouncing around us.

It's like what Reggie says is true.

"I hear he's going to stick around a bit longer.

...... but I don't want to go to ......

The Count stayed behind.

He's been rolling around in the mud, trying to get up. That guy.

"Oh, and, ......, buddy. I'm sorry.'

What's up, Reggie?

"I want my body...

pecking order

The entire scabbard snapped off.

...... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that.

I knew you couldn't withstand the Demon Sword, "Delayed Combat".

'I've saved up for about 50 attacks. ......

The 'Delayed Combat Technique' is a one-shot technique, so I couldn't miss it.

So I had no choice but to drive the enemy into the range of the skill and finish them off in one hit. But I guess I let Regina Brass be too reckless.

''I'm sorry, wait until it regenerates. Don't throw it away.''

I won't. I'm sorry to put you through all this.

"...... Nushi-sama. Easy.

A hoarse voice murmured, and Regina Blass's voice trailed off.

''Nagi-sama... We're done over here!''

He turned at the sound of Cecil's voice.

All of the enemy warriors had fallen unconscious.

Aine is about to rub the fallen wizard's face as hard as she can with her broomstick.

It's like he's originally stunned, so he ends up rubbing it nine times.

There were a total of 10 enemies that fell to the ground.

The only one standing is Count Rigilta, protected by his magical armor.

''Now we can talk properly, Count.

'Nonsense!　How can you use slime and stuff?

I mean, they're just helping me through the story.

'Impossible. I've brought the highest level of adventurers with me!　I thought you were low-level adventurers!　This is not possible!　Funny!

Ah, there are people like that. Guys like that.

The type who can only shout out something strange or impossible when confronted with an unexpected reality.

It's called stopping to think, Count.

Hiding the magic sword in another bag, I thrust my spare shortsword at the Count.

'We have only one request. Don't mess with us, and we won't do anything. You do that, and we won't do anything.

Mmm-hmm-hmm, stupid.

The Count held up a great sword that was broken in half.

The armor covering his entire body glowed with a blue-white light.

The face armor of his helmet was lowered and he was ready to defend himself completely.

"Did you think I was unprepared for this, commoner!　This 'Consecrated Armor' reduces the power of magic by 90%, reduces physical damage, and has an auto-healing ability, so stop with the slime!

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Slippery and slippery

The slime that Aine flew with 'Demon Sweep' landed on the Count's entire body.

As it is, it crawls up the surface of the armor.

The Count's ankles, knees, shoulders, elbows, and wrists.

They cling to the joints of the armor, completely blocking his movements.

A good one, Greenslime.

I wonder if we can't have a non-war pact with the entire race. Impossible.

"I told you. I told you, Count. "We don't care about you.

...... ugh, ugh.

I'm not going to kill you. I just want to make an 'agreement' with you.

It's a 'deal'.

Technically, it's Aine who wants to sign up.

Aine, in her maid's outfit, steps forward when her name is called.

She takes the medallion from her neck and indicates it to the Count.

''Count-sama. Don't go after Aine and the others anymore. Aine doesn't think anything of losing the Commoner's Guild. I won't go to another town and tell them what you've done.

I don't think anything of it: ......?

Because Aine has found a new place to live.

Aine looked at me, then at Cecil, Rita and Leticia in turn, and smiled.

'So make a 'pact' with Aine.

'Aine will not come out and sue you in another town for what was done to you. This place will let you go without killing you. Even if everyone disagrees with you, absolutely.

Instead, the Count will no longer have anything to do with Aine and Aine's people.''

Ho, you sure you want to do this?

It's okay. And .

'The Count did everything he could to get the magic sword at the back of the dungeon. Until he forgets everything about Aine and the others.

I don't want any more regrets. It's the only thing Aine wants.

Aine sighed with a huff.

Like she was relieved that she hadn't gotten a single word wrong as I had taught her.

Now what to do, Count.

You don't have any other choice, do you?

If you don't like this, you'll have to make a deal with your life?

"Okay, okay. "Okay, okay, I'll make a deal!

So, Aine.

"'Contracts'

Kachin, and Aine and the Count hammer out the medallion.

The deal is done.

I'll release the Count from the slime.

"And by the way, that black sword you're holding, is it a magic sword?

The Count leans over and asks.

Ah...... I knew this guy didn't know what the "Magic Sword Regina Brass" looks like.

The last time this sword appeared was 80 years ago. I'm sure the only thing that remains of it is a drawing, so there's no way to know what it looks like exactly.

I don't know. Will you sell it to me for 2 million arsha!

...... I'm sorry, but I can't do that. You'll forget this sword.

What?

flat-chested

Rita placed the slime on the mumbling Count's head.

Reflexively, the count took off his helmet.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

It is the selfishness of Aine and her friends that they do not kill you. It's not a good idea to remember that you shed your blood when you are rewarded with a reward. That's all.

The broom goes back and forth.

The Count's eyes turn over.

'I agree with you. If Nagi-sama says it's okay, I'll burn it to ashes.

The broom goes back and forth three times.

The Count's body relaxes.

"I don't want to touch you again. I can't touch Nagi with your blood in my hand.

The broom went back and forth nine times.

'I'd like to kill you, wouldn't I?　Thank you for this strange party, Count.

The Count, blown unconscious, collapsed in his armor.

Aine's broomstick continues to sweep the Count's face.

'So long, Count. You should try some unrewarding black labor once in a while.''

You can't hear me.

Goodbye, Powers That Be.

Now, please leave us alone. We're gonna take this slow and easy, you know.

Now, an hour and a half later.

Count Rigilta shook her head and got up.

For a while, he didn't know where he was.

Why was he lying in this swamp?

I don't know. All I remember is that there was something very scary about it.

Aine-Clunet. Her buddy's party.

I chased them down ...... and then?

...... No, I don't care about them. The magic sword.

You will be able to get the best out of it. I have sent a messenger to offer the demon sword to His Majesty as well.

''All of you, equip yourselves!　We're heading to the dungeon right now!

The Count shouted to the adventurers surrounding him.

There was no response.

I wonder why. Those who were supposed to be in his employ were giving him a white eye.

But it didn't matter. This 'Consecrated Armor' is invincible.

I paid a lot of money to get the magic sword.

When the path to the lowest level of the dungeon opened up, I was there to grab the Demon Sword. When you emerge from the dungeon with the magic sword in your hand, it will be a story to tell. I will become a legend.

I will become a hero. All of the magic tools that you have bought up to now - the gargoyles, the armor, and the Tanaka-Coga that you paid off from the king - are all for that purpose.

"Ha, Countess. What shall we do about the parade?

The wizard got up and whispered in his ear.

What are you talking about, a**h*le?

I am the descendant of the first and greatest king that ever lived, the descendant of the first and greatest king that ever lived, who built this country.

He doesn't have time for parades.

But there's still no response to search spells, so we don't know the exact location of the magic sword?

'It doesn't matter!　The evil sword. Get the demon sword. Demon sword, demon sword, demon sword!

We can't afford to go looking for a horse.

We have to move now. On my honor as a lord.

We'll be back to Metekal soon. All members of the Noblemen's Guild and the Citizens' Guild are going to search for the magical sword!　Contact Tanaka and Deputy Bishop Argis immediately!

The Count began to run towards Metecal.
