160 Episode 160 "I asked the beastmen's style from the two rescued children.".txt

This is Totori from the Nerham clan of beastmen.

'Thank you for your help!　This is my sister Rutri!

The beastly children called themselves that.

They were tiny children. In my world, they would have been in the upper grades of elementary school. They both had orange hair and slightly droopy ears. Their tails were short and bushy.

They both looked upset for a while after being rescued, and they were clinging to Rita the whole time. I guess they feel more comfortable when the same beastman is around.

It wasn't until we went out on the street and moved away from the 'Abandoned Goblin Village' that I was able to talk about myself. I was still giving Rita a squeaky hug, though.

As we drove in the carriage, the girls (who were twins) began to tell me a little more about what was going on.

They said they were a clan of beastmen who settled in a nearby forest.

There are two tribes of beastmen, one that settles and socializes normally with other humans and sub-humans, and the other is a tribe of beastman supremacy that hunts and moves around.

The clan of the twins, Totori and Lutri, were a 'settled tribe', and they normally exchanged business and information with the humans of the town and village. Some of them even married humans and other sub-humans of different races.

About fifteen days ago, an unknown beastman broke into the tribe's dwelling place.

It is said that the beastman slipped through security and easily kidnapped the women.

After leaving the village, he revealed his true identity. The figure that he exposed to the frightened pair is...

It was ...... a goblin who was ...... turned into a beastman. ......

...... I could smell it when I got close to it, but ...... turned out to be really good at it. I don't know of any skill like that.

Totori and Lutri explained it to me in that way as they stuttered.

The culprit had taken them to an abandoned village where the goblins had been trapped. After that, the girls were locked up in a hole in the mine.

They could only go out to sunbathe from time to time. They were kept in cages.

When children are kept in a dark cave for a long time, they become weak.

It is necessary to keep them alive until that time, whether it is to use them or kill them - that is what they were told by the "criminals".

...... That's scary. ...... That guy changes into many things ......

"I'm going to turn into a big frog ...... and eat you ...... and scare you... ...

They told me with a shudder.

Furthermore, the changing goblins were revered by the other goblins.

So, I think it's safe to say that he's the Wise Goblin.

...... whose purpose is to cause conflict between sub-humans.

Didn't 'Watchful Goblin' say that?

I still don't know why a demon would do such a thing. We don't even know what the "Wise Goblin" is, or if it's really a goblin. It could be a "cheat skill possessor," "cheat magic possessor," or a "gelatinous mysterious creature that changes its shape at will" - these are all possibilities.

I'll reserve judgment.

"...... master.

Rita looked at me with a troubled look on her face.

''Can I deliver these kids to the tribal village?''

Okay.

I said.

Rita was concerned about the 'sub-human conflict' that had been talked about recently.

If these kids are one of the causes of that, then let's return them to the village as soon as possible.

I've retrieved the materials Delilira-san asked for, and I've obtained the skills that the demons dropped. The quest is complete. Now it's free time.

By the way, the quest's harvest was as follows.

8 'Magic Crystal'.

The drop skill 'Thread Move LV3' (from Forest Spider).

The skill to "move" quickly with the "thread

We've done enough.

We could at least sneak the children back to the village.

Then you could show me where your village is?

"──────.

Huh?

Totori and Rutri are still clinging to Rita, staring at me in silence.

Could it be that they're ...... alarmed?

You're making your big brother ...... beastly sister a slave (which is ......).

Thank you for saving me. But it's scary to be the one who controls the beastmen. ......

...... It was.

I forgot that Rita is my slave, because we usually live like a family, but she's my slave.

There's a silver collar shining around Rita's neck. Everyone can see that we have a 'master-servant contract'. Is it natural to be wary of someone who controls their own kind? These kids were captured by goblins just now.

''Um, ...... you know what, it's not. Listen up.

Rita sat on the floor of the carriage and patted her twin children on the head.

'These collars were put on me because I wanted them to. I wanted to connect with my master," she said. This is proof of that. I begged ...... for it and it's not a bad thing, you know?

So you didn't force me?

You don't think he's in control of you...

...... Mm, I've never been forced to ...... anything. Nagi will always ...... gently ...... me.

Rita held her cheeks with a red face.

'But it's weird!'

'Yes. It's weird!

But the kids aren't convinced.

It's not strange. I trust master, and he trusts me too. That's why we were able to save them both.

But it's so far away!

Lutri, the beast child, said.

'Both Lutri and Totori have heard stories of masters and slaves who really trust each other!

''The beast slaves that I really trust are more attached to their masters!

...... Really?

'Yes!'

At the children's words, Rita looked at me as if to ask for help.

...... eh.

From now on, we have to send Rutri and Totori home. We need to find out the location of the village.

And I'm also curious about the Wise Goblin.

If the Goblin has a cheat skill, or if he is really working for the Demon King, then the information from Rutri and the others will be very important.

In order to gain the trust of both of them, I have to go to .......

...... Good.

I sat down next to Rita.

"...... um, yeah.

Rita stands up and sits down next to me.

And then - as if he had made up his mind, he snapped and attached his own shoulder to mine.

You see, you see. Me and my master are attached to each other, right?

No! It's not like the legend.

'The beast slaves who really trust you rub their cheeks!

Oh, really?

Well, I have to try.

Before I knew it, Cecil and Aine were looking at me from the Goshentai.

The two of them, plus the twins. it feels like ...... that the eyes of the four of them are closing in on you with physical pressure.

...... I can't help it. Rita, please.

...... wow.

Smear, smear.

Her golden hair tickles my ear. Rita's cheeks are very hot when I lightly touch them. Because of the battle, Rita's skin is a little sweaty. But it's comfortable. The smooth skin is touching my skin. Rita is slowly moving her body up and down to feel the texture.

Cecil and Aine hold their faces - but they're looking at me through their fingers.

It can't be helped to let the children's guard down, but I'm nervous in public .......

'This is it, isn't it?

I'm not hungry.

'A truly trusting beast slave will 'ahh' at his master!

''Ah!''

Rita's body, which is so close to mine, shakes with a jolt.

Rita and I look at each other unconsciously. I nod at the same time.

That's impossible. I'm just going to go, "Uh-oh.

Because it's not time for dinner. I don't think I'm ready to eat...

'Miss Aine, you still had some of that dried meat you had in the morning, didn't you?

I saved a piece of bread. Here's a piece of bread. Yes.

From the governor's seat, Cecil and Aine held out a piece of bread with dried meat.

As expected of two good friends and cheats. It was a brilliant coordination play.

'...... wow.'

Rita reaches out and takes it.

...... Huh?

Rita's eyes seem to be starting to glaze over. ......

'Um, Rita?'

"............, my lord. Ha, yes. "Ah.

Rita holds the torn bread between her fingers and brings it in front of me.

Her fingers are shaking in small increments. The tips of her fingers brush against my teeth and lips.

...... Rita, your eyes are out of focus, are you okay?

"[────]

Exciting.

So, I know Rutri and Totori are staring at you, but why are Cecil and Aine also staring at you?　Why is the carriage stopped before you know it?　How come the horses are still breathing?

Letitia and Cutlass both think they're hiding, but I can see their blue and gray hair through the window. What do you all want me and Rita to do?

'...... master ...... Nagi ...... can't wait to .........' ...yeah.

Rita's eyes are wide open and she's shaking and shaking.

Her beast ears are flattened and her tail is full of bulge. You can clearly see that she is nervous.

If this is the case, it might turn bright red and fall over.

...... I'll take it.

I opened my mouth and put my face forward.

Rita opened her fingers and dropped a piece of bread into my mouth. I closed my mouth and Rita withdrew her fingers at about the same time. Rita's finger, chubby, passed over my lips.

I'm not going to be able to get rid of it. She's still staring at her finger with a bright red face.

Then, looking at Rutri and Totori--

Well?　Now you know.　It means that I am master's by choice. Master and I have great trust in each other.

Yeah. I believe in Rita, too, and I think she's important. I have no doubt about that, and I can say that with confidence.

It's very embarrassing to say that in public.

Also, Cecil and Aine look satisfied and stop nodding your head in agreement.

I can see Letitia and Cutlass posing with their guts outside the window, too. It's about time for Rita to go over the edge. My cheeks are so hot, it's almost as if I have a fever. Your eyes are starting to lose focus. Your ears and tail are vibrating at a frightening pace.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

Lutri and Totori bowed their heads honestly.

'You just have to understand,'

Good.

Rita is going to go over the edge if she asks for more than this.

''I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. There's a beast slave who believes in each other and his master too...''

I was just really surprised that I wasn't listening to what Totori and the others were saying.

Did you hear that?

Don't do it, Rita. It's not safe to butt in there.

"Yeah. A slave who is a true believer in the concept of beastmen never wears underwear in front of his master.

A beast's tail is one of the most important parts of a man's body that expresses how he feels, and I want my master to be able to see it clearly.

.......

Rita poked her knee on the floor of the carriage, on the floor of the carriage.

As it was, she sat up and put her hand into the gap in the "Fighting Priest's Garment" and put her hand on the cloth inside──.

...... so that your master can see ...... the movement of his tail .......

Yes, it's a courtesy.

Totori and Rutri put their hands together and told them at the same time.

''That's why we don't wear underwear! When the master and the slave are alone with each other!

...... Yeah.

Rita, with a snap, stopped moving.

Just keep looking at me, and then at the beast children. I'm going to be able to see Cecil and Aine, who quickly turned around a tempo later, and Leticia and Cutlass, who crouched down even slower, and...

'Hueeeeeeeeeeeeee!

'Wow. Rita!　Pull yourself together...!

Rita had fallen down with a bang, just like that.

...... on my lap.

'It's a knee pillow!'

A man and a beastman who believe in each other.

"Hello, friend!

The beastly children were very happy about it.

If you want to go to ............ kneeling, go ahead and tell me. ......

We then got the location of their village from Rutri and Totori.

According to the map, the village is located in the forest further north of the resort town of Mishlila. According to the map, the village is located in the forest further north than the resort town of Mishlila.

It's not easy for humans to find, but beastmen can reach it by a literal animal trail.

The two of you should get back to the village as soon as possible.

If the beastmen know more information about the goblins, the situation might change.

''But can't we take the carriage with us?

I need to report the end of the quest to the Saintess, and I need to get information from her.

That's why I decided to divide my party into two.

The "Beastman Village Visiting Group" consists of me, Cecil, Rita and Aine.

For the 'Saint-sama-reporting group', I'll ask Leticia and Cutlass to be in charge.

Rutri and Totori have been nipping at Rita's heels, so she can't be left out. If we get into a battle in the forest, we will need Cecil's magic and Aine's support.

Letitia is a fan of the saintly lady, so it would be good to have her go report back to her. Cutlass needs to get ready to receive Iris and the others, so I'll have her return to the villa with Letitia after the report. The only person who can use the artifact is Cutlass (Fynn).

Of course, I'll have to connect with them through "Shared Consciousness (Mind Linkage), Revised" so that I can contact them.

For a while, we decided to go our separate ways.

Letitia and Cutlass' point of view

Miss Cutlass, you've never seen the saint before, have you?

Yes, sir!

A rocky mountain where the saint Delilira dwells.

Leticia and Cutlass, who had parked their carriage at the foot of the mountain, were heading to the entrance of the saint's labyrinth.

Leticia and Cutlass were heading for the entrance to the labyrinth. I didn't know you were acquainted with the legendary saint.

I mean, I don't know, ...... yeah. You're a friend, that one.

Arujidono is surprisingly serious. You must have a lot in common with the saint.

Cutlass nodded approvingly as he walked down the slope, "I guess I'll just have to be rude.

'I'll have to be rude to you, too, I suppose.

Well, yeah, I guess so.

So, what do I say to Your Highness, sir?

It's ...... 'A-Sobo'

............ Huh?

'Delilira-san, ah-so-boo!'

Letitia said, as if desperate.

Even Laetitia couldn't believe it. Speaking of the saint Delilira, she was a legendary being who continued to save people. It's too unexpected that she's turned into a "Rusty Ghost" after her death.

However, it seems that Nagi and Saint Delilira have an easy friendship.

Even though Letitia praised the saint, she didn't say anything at all. She wants a friend, not an admirer.

Even if it means destroying Cutlass' image, the information must be accurate.

'I see. 'I understand, sir!'

Cutlass clapped his hands with a plop.

''My saint--''

"Ahh... like an artifact from time immemorial.

"Yes, the towering achievement.

"Bo..." - "Save us, Delilah!

In other words, it means 'To honor the saint who has done many great deeds since ancient times, like a guardian goddess!

As expected of Arujidono. You have planted such a code in the call.

How much do you admire Nagi-san?

You are the one who woke Cutlass up as a girl.

Fluffily, a translucent girl appeared above Cutlass' head.

'And this Fynn is the one who deserves to give it all up.

'Come to think of it, you guys were princesses: ......

Leticia remembered that after all this time, and she had a mixed feeling. Normally, Cutlass is someone that she, as a Viscount, could not even speak to.

And yet both Cutlass and Fynn are more proud of their status as slaves of Nagi than they are of their birth.

What is .................. status?

'...... Cutlass-san is the hidden princess of the royal family, and the one we're going to meet is the saintly lady. In other words, I'm the one with the lowest status.

But Saintess, Cutlass, and Fynn all respect Nagi.

An incomprehensible paradigm shift is about to happen, and Letitia can't help but think about it.

''Perhaps Nagi-san has changed the world far more than the brave men and others.

At least you have changed my world.

"Ours. Cutlass.

While talking about this, Leticia, Cutlass, and Fynn reached the entrance to the Saintess's Labyrinth.

The three of them lined up side by side and took a deep breath.

And all at once──.

"'Saints-sama! A-Sobo!

"Just in time!　It's important information!

Delilira-san (a humanoid golem) jumped out of the cave and shouted.

''Huh?　Isn't there a cheating master?　Oh well. You brought the magic crystal to me at ....... We'll soon be making our own secret item. And now for some important information about the sub-human conflict!

Please!

Letitia replied instantly.

'...... there.'

"...... is that, Saint Delilira, ......?

Cutlass and Fynn are stunned by the tension of the saintly lady who showed up. It's like seeing themselves before this.

I decided to leave them alone for now since they'll recover sooner or later.

''I'll give you the information here as well. First of all, please give me some information about the saintly lady.''

This is what we found out as a result of sending the golem out on a reconnaissance mission. The 'settling beastmen' and the 'migrating beastmen' are fighting each other. Skirmishes are taking place, but it's not a head-on conflict. The reason for this is that the two grandchildren of the 'settled beastmen' elder were kidnapped. The name is...''

Totori and Rutri. They're twins.

As expected of you, you're quick with information. It is said that the ones who were kidnapped are from the Mobile Beastmen tribe. The Migrant Beastmen are also said to have had something important stolen by the Sedentary Beastmen, but we still don't have any information on this one.

Although the information here is also not confirmed, it is believed that Totori and Rutri were not kidnapped by beastmen, but by a demon that was disguised as a beastman. This is the testimony we got from the two rescuers. Right now, Nagi-san and the others are going to deliver the child to the beastman's village.

''You're moving fast. Delilira-san has a lot to live up to.

They are my best friends. I would never do anything to disobey a saint's expectations.

Gash.

Letitia and Saint Delilira (the golem) hold each other's hands tightly.

Delilira-san is relieved. I don't want to see an all-out war between subhumans.

So do I. I know that sub-humans, humans, and demons can be ...... good friends.

"You're a good boy for a nobleman!

I'm embarrassed when a saint compliments me.

"Delilah will make a recommendation, so you can be the king!

'Please don't be as reckless as Nagi-san!

Leticia winced at the lines that jumped out of the legendary being.

But the saint-sama (golem) is not happy.

''I'm not so sure. I think I'm good at it.

I'm not much of a vessel for ......, there!　Mr. Cutlass and Mr. Fynn!　You're not nodding your head in a serious way!　I can't be joking when you guys say that!

"'Eh,'

Oh, no, you're not. Not at all.

It's an honor, though.

Letitia sighed somewhat.

''So, Nagi-san asked me to check this out...──Do you know anything about the 'Skill of Free Transformation' or magic, Holy Lady?

"The skill of shape-shifting at will"?

''Yes. It seems that the False Beastman who kidnapped the two beastmen, Totori and Rutli, has such skills. The fake beastman disguised himself, snuck into the village of the resident beastman and kidnapped them. Therefore, I believe that he has that kind of advanced skill or magic.

Letitia said.

Saint Delilira (the doll) nodded her head curiously and then.

'There might be. It's just that it's a really dangerous skill.'

I understand. Anyone can be transformed.

''That's not true. You can detect an impersonation as long as it is one that can finely detect the magic. The problem is that if you are disguised as someone else for a long time, you will forget who you really are.

...... Yeah.

'Delilira was the one. In the course of playing "The Saint" she forgot who she really was. That's why she died of exhaustion. It's not just about the role, it's also about the shape, and it pulls your inner self into it. Delilira was able to remember her true self just before she died. ......

That's why Ms. Delilira is taking the appearance of her life, that's why. Don't forget who you were - and don't forget who you were - added Saint Delilira.

''It's fine if it's just a few times, but if you repeat it a lot, it's really bad .......

It's okay if that guy is really a demon called the Wise Goblin. If a person ...... or even a magical creature that has such skills, he or she may have already forgotten who they really are. I have a bad feeling that it's really someone involved with a demon king or something ...... or a mysterious creature that just thinks so.'

Saints. ......

"You need to go home.

The saint (humanoid golem) ducked the hem of her robe and turned her back to Letitia.

''Delilira-san will now be finishing up the 'Inochiki Master's Dedicated Messenger'. I will deliver it to you when it's ready, so you guys take a break at home. You'll be resting at home, so that you can be ready to go right away. When it's ready, deliver it to the Principality of the Innocents.

'Yes, sir!　I understand.

All right, sir!

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the mercy of your saint!

"Even at ............. I feel like I don't need it. I feel like I don't need it.

Saint Delilira turns around, scratching her head.

''That master, he's so inquisitive. I feel like I already know what Delilira-san can come up with! If possible, I'll say in a cool way, "Saintess-sama go! I'd like to deliver the item with us... ......'

Saints. ......

Leticia managed to swallow the line, "I feel like that too.

Otherwise, saint, you might be depressed like Letitia was when she cleared the labyrinth. Delilirah-san," she might be depressed like she was when she cleared the labyrinth.

So Letitia bowed quietly to Saint Delilah.

The information that the saintly woman told me was probably transmitted to Nagi-san through Cutlass-san through the "Consciousness Sharing and Renovation (Message Skill)". Letitia didn't know what kind of answer he would give from there.

''I just need to return the two beast children to the tribe and hope they come back.

Leticia murmured to herself as she looked in the direction of the forest where Nagi and the others were headed.
