37 Herald # 1 The Adventures of Slave Claude

My name is Claude. It's just a slave. My old dream was an adventurer, but I gave up when I became a slave. Oh, my God, that's just plain sloppy. Even though this country is relatively better off, poor villages don't go away easily either.

That's me, but your husband, who picked us up, told me to fight the demons. There is no way a young slave like us can fight demons, and there are many of them, so I was afraid they would use them as a gift and scatter my life.

But I am surprised that your husband treats you not as a warrior, but as a warrior. He also said that he would be able to fight by drawing on our power.

I got in the carriage incredibly. Your husband puts his hand on my forehead in the carriage. Surprisingly, I found myself getting more power all over my body. Incredible, it feels like you removed the weight from your body compared to before.

"Ko, this is..."

Unexpectedly, your husband laughed.

By the time they all came in and out of the carriage, everyone understood what your husband meant by 'fighting demons'. Now, even a demon opponent seems to manage.

Our husband is a terrible man. [M] Able to exterminate a bandit without suffering one wound, draw the power of others, and even exercise slavery. Probably, but that's not all. I think your husband's power as we see it is only one end.

Second, I remember when your husband was awesome. That was scary. He leaked out of the blue, let his knees shake and collapsed. No, it could be a mistake to be a mess. That's natural. All the slaves with me were in the same situation. Senior slaves who were there, and those who said Sakura and Dora seemed fine. I wonder why...

Anyway, it seems our job to defeat the demons with the power your husband gave us.

Your husband said he would give weapons to each of our slaves. Incredibly good treatment for slaves. At that time, I was asked a question that I didn't quite understand. I answered honestly, but it seemed like you cared. Good...

I was naturally surprised by the weapons I was given after that. Probably a well-built sword from the store. They call it a one-handed iron sword.

I'm going to hand that stuff to Pong. I guess that means I can afford the gear. Your husband's sword, which I was shown because I was curious, was a rare weapon said to be a knife. At a glance, it turned out to be a weapon that was not even close to my feet, such as the sword you gave me.

He gave us a meal we hadn't even fought since. And even dessert... What good would your husband do us to get here? [M] He said he would treat us as a force of war, and he was empowered. But based on that, your husband would be much stronger. I can't think of a scene where we need to be.

Aside from the doubts, we were to enter combat training, and we (say new slaves), who had eight, were to split up into four people to carry out our activities. Adele, Coco and Lolo are going to be at the same party as me.

Adele is a cowardly boy. But he seemed to think there was no choice in fighting itself. Or I couldn't seem to say I didn't like it. He's afraid to give your husband an opinion, and that means he chose a better fight than that. By the way, the weapon is a spear with a reach. We can attack from afar and somewhat safely.

Coco is a beautiful blonde dog beast girl. You're not used to it yet, we all have relatively few words, but only this child is talking to your husband as much as I am. The dog beast man seems to be the type to exhaust once he decides his husband, and he is desperate not to be dumped by his husband. He seems to be a light-hearted beast man, and the weapon is going to do it with two daggers emphasizing maneuvers.

Lolo is a girl dripping three red braids from left to right. Apparently, he had a glance at your husband, and he said he had an approach earlier than Coco's. You have no idea. What did you do? The weapon is a sword. I don't know how many times a girl younger than me can hide her surprise from her husband, who gives her enough power to handle the Great Sword.

By the way, my gear is a circular shield called a one-hand iron sword and round shield. Seems like the most adventurous, basic outfit. To be honest, it is the style I admired.

I was asked to look at brief breasts and caged hands when it comes to protective equipment. Your husband's party has a lot of younger people, so it looks like he has some gear for kids as well. Still, I just couldn't prepare everyone's share and decided to split something up.

Because I have a shield, I have to wear protective gear on my feet that I can't cover. [M] It feels heavy with stiff boots. The center of gravity will be more stable when the shield is used.

Your husband, Dora and Senior Serra followed me to this party. Break up with the other party and look for demons. When I asked if the carriage was okay as it was, it came back fine as it was. Why the hell are you fine...

Our first opponent was only one goblin.

Goblins are said to be weak among demons, but from a normal person's point of view they are a sufficient threat. There's no way he's not a threat to someone coming at him with a weapon. But I'm pretty sure we can deal with a goblin right now.

"Everyone attack me in that gap because I'm going to step forward and be attacked by a shield! If you're going to be attacked, take it wherever you can with weapons and protective equipment!

That's what I'm saying. I'm going forward. A goblin I noticed this way is waving a stick. Bring the shield forward.

- Kickin '...

It's more shocking than I thought. But I can't take it. Bye. Adele speared from side to side in a gap created by defense. But I just cut my skin shallow and it hasn't hit me effectively. Did you feel threatened by Adele who made the attack, or the target of the attack moved to Adele?

Adele is lagged behind by demons, not to mention goblins. I left it to momentum to attack, but it seemed to frighten me when the target became me.

That's bad. Set up a shield to stand between Adele and Goblin. Goblins looking at this one depressingly. The stick is waved again. Now pay attention to the way you receive them, and let them get away with it. Goblins fell ill.

Coco cleaves his leg with a dagger. Goblins were desperate when Lolo attacked Goblin with a sword when he collapsed completely.

That's right. Easy. I'm not alone. I have company, and your husband is watching over me back there. I'm sure we'll be all right more than you said you'd help us if it really seemed dangerous.

Thus, our first battle ended without any particular danger.

Your husband is approaching.

"Good luck, guys. Adele, the timing of the first attack was good, but you should have dropped your hips more so the spear tip wouldn't get bumped. Coco and Lolo worked together brilliantly. Claude did his job as a shield."

That's what got us.

"That's right, Lolo. Is there any sense of repellence in trying to stab me?

"I didn't."

"Well, from now on, let everyone stab you in the stomach, but if it sounds harsh, tell me. After that, the first stripping is done by Lolo, who stabbed the stomach."

"Yes."

That said, Lolo cleaves around Goblin's chest with the knife he's been given. It seems advisable to do so while lifting a little out of the state of being flattened so that blood does not pop up.

Demonic stones are not in all demons, but they are always in goblins. Many say in animals, demonic stones are buried near the heart. Speaking of demons. Many people don't like to mutilate human-shaped opponents. But with some slave life, that kind of normal emotion seems to gradually collapse.

Lolo also goes without any concern at all.

"I got it."

"You guys take that. This is proof of our first battle."

"Yes."

That's what Lolo says. He puts the demon stone in the bag he's given. It seems that there is no blood passing near the demon stone, even though it bleeds when you cleave the demon skin, and the demon stone itself is rarely wet in blood, so you can put it in there as it is. It's a strange story to say it's around the heart.

Your husband takes you under the second goblin. How does your husband know where the demon is? I guess this is also a force that people can't tell you. It's really creepy...

"Now I'm going to stab you in the stomach, you're going to break up!

"Okay!

"I'm going!

I'm the one who stabs the second one. Coco and Lolo attack Goblin who is disfigured after taking the attack with a shield. I was asked not to aim for the steeple so as not to stab the stomach. Cut off the wounded goblin's neck with a sword and stab him in the stomach.

Yeah, I don't think I'm more repellent than I thought. Slave life seems to change your personality.

Speaking of which, when your husband told me to show you my slave prints, I remembered that they all had no hesitation whatsoever in turning out to be cut off. There must have been some shame over the age of 10 or something, but you didn't care at all.

Yeah, I wonder if Lolo's approach could have been the first thing to get rid of the blurring. I was in front of your husband before anyone else then...

He also safely stripped away the Demon Stone and repeated several 4-on-1 fights. Then you fight multiple enemies. I was even led to two goblins as if I had foreseen them. Besides, one has a sword. It's the kind of goblin they call Goblin Swordman.

Aren't you getting too strong all of a sudden?

That didn't happen at all. Adele was getting used to it, too, and she was able to defend herself with weapons and deal with the Goblin attack that slipped past me. Coco repeated the motion of leaving without jeopardy when adding an attack, and Lolo does not miss the gap created by Coco.

Your husband makes it easy to incorporate it as his next goal because he will mention what was good and bad every time the battle is over.

Thus, battle training continued while gradually increasing difficulty. When I got used to the fight a lot and had enough room in the fight to try a lot, the guy suddenly appeared.

Goblin General. Goblin conductor. Almost top of the Goblin lineage. I've often heard that when I got used to it a little bit, it was the most dangerous, but that's exactly what I did.

Opponents are 1 Goblin General and 5 Goblins. There is a Goblin General after the number one so far. It's going to be a pretty tough fight.

As usual, I come forward. [M] Goblin General wields his sword.

"Gu Hu!"

I couldn't resist that blow. I roll down the ground.

No. The Goblin General is completely different from the Goblins we've been fighting for. My legs tremble. Shock and fear, both of which are on my feet.

Everyone else can't even look at me. [M] The shield blew up. I wouldn't be able to maintain a decent front or anything.

I can't.

"Guys, we're leaving this place! You can't beat us now."

This place should escape. I'm not the one you can handle.

"Pass."

Your husband came forward at some point.

"He's not the one to beat you guys right now. If you can make that decision on the first shot, and you can even give them instructions to escape, you can do it."

Yes. Your husband was there. I was going to fight for our party alone from the middle of nowhere.

Your husband was relative to Goblin General when he came forward.

"Ggaa!"

Goblin General wielding a sword.

"Danger!"

Lolo screams.

But I soon found out that I was worried about a total misunderstanding. Because before the sword worn by Goblin General came forward, Goblin General's neck had fallen to the ground lightly...

"Now... what..."

Your husband must have done something. That's about all I know. No, that's all I knew. Even when I looked at Koko, an animal man with high motor vision, he had his neck clenched. I didn't seem to know the same. He's got his hands on the sword, so maybe he waved the sword at a speed that doesn't even fit in his eyes.

If you look closely, the surrounding goblins had similarly lost their necks. I could have expected your husband to be strong, but I didn't expect him to be this far. When you can easily defeat that Goblin General over there, isn't your husband's strength enough to reach the B, No A rank...

"Drink this."

My husband, who turned this way, took the potion from somewhere and gave it to me.

"Oh, thank you"

As a matter of fact, the blown up damage was quite significant and severe, so I decided to make it hard for you.

Hmm? Something less effective than I thought potion would be? Still laziness. Your husband once again took out a bottle of potion from somewhere after a slight glance at his face.

"Drink this one too."

"Ha ha..."

Glitch the bottle you were given.... wow. My body has been so full of strength about what the potion was earlier. In the same condition I was in before the attack, I wanted to talk to you about the potion, but I stopped. Because your husband looked so complicated.

I know because I've acquired the art of gazing at people's complexions in my slave life, but those are faces I shouldn't have said anything extra about. We should make a big deal out of this place.

From then on, there were no threats like Goblin General, and they continued to fight well.

The story I heard at dinner was also incredible. Because it was about making us a clan and making us S-rank adventurers. I never thought of any S-rank adventurer, no matter how much. Even my old dreams naturally thought it would be a miracle if they could be A-ranked.

But your husband has a natural face. It's strange because looking at your husband like that makes you feel like maybe you could really do that.

And your husband himself said he would retain it at C-rank. I see, does your husband hate trouble... But normally, what you get in S-rank should outweigh the hassle that comes with it... My husband seems a lot out of standard.

My name is Claude. I'm just a slave, to be owned by a hell of a husband.
