I found some soldiers scouring the valley. Great?
Rita said, shaking her beast ears with a twitch.
There are three fallen soldiers in front of us. Two are unconscious and one is still conscious.
It seems that the soldiers attacked Rita and Aine when they were making rounds, no questions asked. It couldn't be helped, so Rita fought back and Aine mopped her face and knocked her out.
Only one person remained conscious to draw out information from the other side.
And then, frightened, the soldier told me that
...... The Countess is here to sneak around and conquer 'Foggy Valley', huh?
Let's get rid of him. Let's get rid of them.
Because we were having this conversation with the flying dragon Raizika earlier.
"I want this to be called the 'Heavenly Dragon Egg Transport Quest'.
Before we left the cave, Raizika the Mummy Flying Dragon said.
''The Heavenly Dragon's Egg Transport Quest.
Objective: to carry the celestial dragon's eggs to a safe place.
Reward: gemstone (left eye of the flying dragon Raizika. Estimated value of 25,000 arsha. (including necessary expenses)
Note: The Heavenly Dragon's Egg is easily affected by the magic around it. Place it in a good environment as much as possible.
Please do one more thing. Soon I will collapse the valley and go to sleep. In the meantime, I need you to protect this place.
Protect? As long as we don't let people into the valley?
''Mm. The Heavenly Dragon's Egg that goes out is affected by the magic around it. If I kill someone in the end, they will swallow something bad.
I see.
If that's what The Egg of the Heavenly Dragon is all about, I'd better ask Iris to rent out the villa for a year or so for the necessary expenses.
When you leave the egg, nobody goes near it for a while.
Besides, I'd like to end up in a better place. Years of work are indeed hard to bear. ......
With that, the mummy flying dragon Raizika relaxed from her body.
''Alright. In honor of your hundreds of years of black labor.''
I nodded.
'Good to see you. Raizika.
Yeah. You all need to get married now.
They say it takes about an hour to close the valley.
I heard that a stream of magic power from inside the raizika is leading to the entire valley, and from there it will cause the rock walls to collapse.
Until then, we just need to make sure that no one can get close to the valley. The mummy flying dragon Raizika gave us information and skill crystals, so we should grant her that much of a wish.
Besides, there's a coffin in the cave with Rafilia's sister in it.
I don't think it's a good idea to let the nobles mess with that. I think they're going to study it and make a clone of the ancient elves, the Grace Series.
I don't know... I think we should get rid of the Countesses as soon as possible.
"...... You Tsundere Lord!
Behind his back, the Magic Sword Leggy murmured.
''You were planning to save the Heavenly Dragon's Egg and the Dry Matter Flying Dragon from the beginning anyway, right?
...... What makes you think that?
"I am closer to the Lord than any other.
Reggie cleared his throat in his demon sword form, clucking and clucking.
''Since it's the Lord, he must have been thinking, 'I don't want my slaves to work while I'm on vacation,' or 'It's hard for everyone to be nervous about taking charge of the hidden treasure.''
Annoyingly correct.
Poking the Magic Sword Reggie to shut him up, I turned to the scouting soldiers.
''Was it Countess Carmillia-Rigilta who's on her way here?
............ Yes.
The scout nodded.
'What's that man planning to do in the Valley of the Mist?
'............ Wow, I have no say in this. So I couldn't stop the lady. I'm not responsible for it. So go to .......
'That's all right. Tell me about it.
............ I've come to the valley in order to slink off and explore the valley for His Highness Prince Kravis to evaluate.
Come to think of it, yesterday, I remember that it was the Countess and the Viscountess who were with the Prince.
''Does that mean you don't want to fall behind your rival, the Viscountess?''
The soldier nodded at my question with a drawn face.
'And what are you going to do about it? The valley messes with the senses, doesn't it?
'We'll send slaves in turn to get information on the damage. Reduce the demons as much as possible, if possible.
The scouts' story was this.
First, I'll make a 'contract' with the slaves, 'If you defeat the enemy in the fog, I'll give you enough reward to dissolve the master-servant contract and set you free'.
Then have the slaves enter the valley four at a time.
They should fight desperately against the demons in order to gain their freedom.
It doesn't matter if they're going to be a kindred spirit or not. Anyway, it seems that the Countess's plan is to reduce the number of demons in the valley as much as possible and get information before the prince enters.
"Please, please. Please don't kill me. I have twelve children of my own with a six year old at the head .......
I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not going to kill you. Don't worry about it.
I said, and Aine's mop dabbed the soldier's face.
The scouting soldier fainted and was finished.
I got the information I needed.
The Countess's name is Carmilia-Rigilta. She is the child of Count Rigilta, who was in Metekal. The force is 24 soldiers and 12 slaves.
The enemy's objective is to send slaves one after another to obtain information about the valley.
If the slaves come back alive, they can get information, and even if the slaves are wiped out at worst, they can reduce the number of demons somewhat. You can also predict what kind of demon killed them by looking at the corpse.
The flying dragon Raizika just let the intruders fight each other, and in the end they were driven away, so they shouldn't die. The situation is a bit different this time.
If the Raizika continued to collapse the valley, all the slaves who entered would die.
If that doesn't happen, at worst, slaves will start fighting each other in the valley. Does this mean that the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' here will also be affected?
''I have a favor to ask of everyone.''
I looked at Cecil and his friends.
They're getting ready to fight. Cecil is rolling up his arms. Rita also has her arms around her, as if to say, "Bring it on! Aine and Rafilia have their own weapons at the ready, and Iris, unable to get away from me due to the aftereffects of the "slave summoning," is looking up at me with her hands clenched. Her face is full of motivation.
'Can I move my day off by a day?
Isn't it obvious? This isn't a job. It's a hobby.
Rita said on behalf of everyone.
'It's what we 'want' to do, Master,'
Thanks, Rita.
But still, ...... the aristocrats in this world are just like the black employers of the original world.
They don't listen to people, they act recklessly, and they don't think about other people's problems.
The countermeasure against the Demon Lord is left to the visitors summoned from another world, and they do as they please.
The skills that allow you to live without working aren't enough to lead a peaceful life. You should also think about using your cheat skills to deal with those people. It's not that we can't do anything about the whole world, but just the area around us.
How do we stop them from taking over the whole world?
For example, they should have something to fear.
An alternative to the Labor Department and the Hallowe'en of the old world. The only thing we can think of that'll work against the highborn is the Mad King. He's out on the frontier fighting the heroes, and it's too dangerous to use as a deterrent. If there is an existence that is comparable to the brave, smart, and can keep the nobles in check, it's .............
............ dragon?
Kerkator, the sea dragon, is on our side.
But they can't take care of the other side. Speaking of other dragons...
...... You know what, Tenryu Blanchalka.
I touched the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' in the bag at my waist.
''Can I borrow your name to stop the black labor of the nobles?''
The 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' didn't respond. It just shivered a bit, like a nod.
''Instead, I'll put you in a proper environment.
Also, the 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' gave a small shiver.
I don't know if he was convinced or not, but I don't feel bad.
It can't be helped. Let's try it.
Then Rita will take care of the reconnaissance. There may be more soldiers ahead of us. I want you to go with Aine, and when you find them, put them to sleep.
Okay.
'Aine, work with Rita on reconnaissance, and use 'kinetic observation' to figure out the enemy's movements. Also, support Rita.
Yes, sir.
They'll be working separately. And you'll be on special duty, so you'll be compensated in some way at .......
Nagi time!
I need to spend time with you, Naya.
...... when this is all over.
I don't know if it's okay. I want to give you something else. They work so hard!
Cecil, Iris and Rafilia are with me.
Cecil has a reason to stick together and Iris can't get away from me because of the Summoning of Slaves (Samoning Slave).
"So, let me check with Rafilia. The one you got from 'Raizika' earlier was 'Whirlwind Wall Lv 5', right?
Yes, it's a special spell. It's a special spell that creates a small tornado around the surgeon and deflects the flying tool. He gave me a defensive spell to keep me from dying like my sister ......, Gabriella Grace.
Yes. That's because it's a "blurred vision". You will be stuck with your brother for breakfast, lunch, and night, at meals and during baths. Let's get to the point where you can't live your daily life. Hey, Master?
Yes.
Raphilia, leaning against a tree, nodded with a bright red face.
Her body is still jittery.
'I know what happens when you explode, Iris-sama.
What's going to happen?
We'll have to wait and see.
Iris and Raphilia chimed in.
I'm starting to feel like I want to see it.
''But for now, we have to make Iris a '4 Concept Cheat Character' first. Alright? Iris.
'...... Yes. I want you to see all of Iris ....... Brother.
Iris grabbed my hand and guided it down the collar of my clothes to my chest.
'Skill disclosure. Iris-Hafeumea.
I'm going to display Iris's skills.
Iris-hapheumea.
"Dragon Species Empathy Lv 4 (Lock Skill)" and "Dragon's Blood Lv 4 (Lock Skill)
Self-Defense Lv 3, Memory Lv 6, Tactics Lv 8, Delusion Lv 9.
Iris has a lot of dragon related skills and a lot of knowledge skills.
I wouldn't want to mess with the dragon related skills.
It might eliminate the miko's abilities and could fundamentally change Iris.
Doesn't ...... Onii-chan hate it when Iris makes embarrassing noises?
There's no way.
'It's my first time, so my body might be surprised on its own. But Iris's mind is completely accepting of her brother. You understand, don't you?
I know. I'm fine.
"If you feel like you shouldn't when you 'adjust' later on,
Maybe then: ...... Maybe then.
Yes. That's when it's time.
Iris smiled wryly as she looked up at me.
She stroked her green hair and closed her eyes like a kitten.
''Ability rebuild LV4. Iris's 'Delusion (Already) LV9' is rebuilt.
............
With a jolt, Iris's thin back responded.
Iris, holding her breasts with both hands, is ticklishly writhing around.
The chest visible through the collar and the neck are both bright red and upright.
''Conceptualizing 'Delusional LV9'
I'm at .......
With a sad look down her throat, Iris looked at me.
"...... Iris's, all of it ............ to her big brother. ...... Haha.
Put Iris's skills on 'Ability Rebuild LV4' and display the concept.
''Delusional LV9.''
The skill to "visualize" an "image" in your "head".
You're delusional enough to be a ...... skill. That's amazing.
I was shown that power when I 'shared consciousness' with Iris in the Sea Dragon Sanctuary. Since it's Iris, even if I use it to 'rebuild', this skill is likely to come back soon.
Can you combine this and 'ship' 'around' -, and can you ...... do it?
Which one do I pair with?
Isn't that a burden on Iris?
Don't be ...... confused about what happens to your skills if you fail.
'Um ...... oh, brother.'
Hmm?
"I'm finger ...... groaning. ...... It's before work, so I feel like I shouldn't ...... feel bad about it... ...a bit.
............ sorry.
It was a habit I had when I was thinking. In my former world, I was fiddling with the keyboard while thinking.
'I'm going to reconstruct Iris's 'delusional LV9'. Maybe Iris would be able to revive this skill soon, and it would be a skill that would take advantage of Iris's midlife crisis.
Iris is ...... anything that will help her brother.
Iris rubs her cheek against my arm as if she's spoiling me.
'Whether your brother wants a kinder life or a kinder world, Iris will be there for you.
All right. Thanks, Iris.
I connect the 'magical thread' to Iris' skills.
I'll simulate the results in my mind. It's good. I can do it. Maybe it will be the perfect skill for this quest.
"It's good to go to ....... Big brother. In Iris, please send your brother to .............
Copy that. Execution "Fast Reconstruction Quick Structure"!
Iris's small body jumped with a jolt. Literally.
Eyes wide open. A little bit of tears.
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that you can't get your hands on the ............ Ha............ Iris's back............ amazing... ...Ahhhhhh!
Her tiny breasts push my hand back.
Iris's body is trembling. It won't stop. I feel as if I'm going to break. This is different from the usual 'Fast Rebuild'. I can feel the magic power poking through Iris. I don't know if you can see where the magic is moving, but Iris is holding the base of my leg. And then she clutches at my arm and almost collapses with a sly ......, and Iris' entire body relaxes.
Pressing down on her sweaty chest, Iris bit her lips and looked up at me.
'──── Oh, oh, my God, Onii-chan......n............ amazing...... like this. ...... Only Iris didn't know ...... sly .
Iris holds my hand through the fabric of my dress.
My heart is pounding. Iris rubs her knees together, her mouth is half-lidded and she is breathing heavily.
"............ Make sure you get Iris properly 'tuned up' later, brother.
I'll take care of it. I'll make sure it's tuned correctly so it doesn't damage Iris.
I don't mind being rubbed in by ............'s big brother.
I don't say those things.
But the two of them reacted differently to the usual 'fast reconstruction'.
Maybe it's just the four concepts that have changed, I'll take my time looking into it when I adjust the two of you later.
...... Both big brother and master have been with us all day, all day.
With that, Iris pressed her head against my chest.
''The 'Heavenly Dragon's Egg' right there is a witness. Right?''
I know. I'll keep my word to the slaves.
So, let's quickly get the job done and go home.
Using Raphilia's 'Dragon Seed Whirlwind LV1' and Iris' '4 Concept' cheat skill.
'Illusory Space LV1' (UR, Concept Level 4 Iris)
The skill to "float" the "image" in and around your "head".
The 'ni' after 'inside the head' has been changed to 'and'.
"Illusionary Space Lv 1
The image in my head can be projected onto the space around me.
Although it has no substance, it is indistinguishable from reality in appearance and texture. It can also produce realistic sounds. It's like a realistic three-dimensional image.
To the extent that it has no substance, its magic consumption is low, and its range of effect is several dozen meters in circumference.
If an image and an actual object overlap, the image takes precedence.
In other words, it can be said to be a skill that rewrites the surrounding space in a sense.
'It's a great skill. Big brother ...... this, Iris is .......
Don't abuse it.
............ Why does your brother read inside Iris's head?
It's easy to understand, Iris.
He's smiling like crazy.
You'll forfeit it if you pretend to be someone else.
............ big brother teasing.
Iris puffed and puffed her cheeks.
Now we're ready to go.
All we need to do now is to use Raphilia and Iris' skills to get rid of the soldiers.
The key is the 'contract' that the countess gives, 'If you defeat the demon in the fog, the slave's master-slave contract will be terminated'. I'll take advantage of that.
I grabbed Rafilia and Iris' hands and made them stand up.
In addition, I also touch the Heavenly Dragon's Egg that's still in the bag. I don't know if it's emitting magic power, but it feels warm and chilly to the touch.
I'm sure it's a good idea to call yourself "The Heavenly Dragon's Companion" because we're in charge of the Heavenly Dragon's Egg.
I'm going to carry you to the safety of ...... instead. It's a good idea,
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.
The trees rustled and made a great noise as they rustled.
'.................. is ......... ...i. ..................
It would be a long time before we knew that a faint voice had been heard.
