76 Episode 47: Distraction and Tracking

"Now for the third time, I think this is the most important thing."

What are you talking about? I have no idea what's more serious than the two of them right now... The king looked terribly serious and continued the conversation.

"Washi wants to welcome Mr. Mio into my wife as a regular room. Lord Jen, would you free Mr. Mio from slavery?

"What?"

A king who looked terribly serious and wished he had no idea what that meant. What are you talking about? Look at my confused face, the king goes on to talk further.

"In a nutshell, I fell in love with Mio. Mr. Mio was exactly an angel when he tried desperately to save me when I was ready to die stabbed by a brave man"

Apparently, I mean it. The king sees Mio with heat in his eyes.

Said Mio is also a pocan. No, Mio is definitely cute, but I wonder if they say angel. If I say that, Dora is more sure to be an angel. White feathers grow...

"Oh, Father! What are you saying all of a sudden!?

Katrea shouted. When I see that my subordinates around me are also surprised, I guess I haven't told that story to anyone. Well, there's no way I can tell anyone that nearly 40 Osama wants to propose to Mio, 8...

"By and large, do you know what time it is now!? There's something about your brother, and there's something about the brave! Not if you're saying that!

Katrea's right, the timing sucks. You won't have to do anything now.

"Julius' death is so sad, and I'm not going to forgive the brave. But that's not what I'm talking about. There's no rule that you shouldn't love people in hard times, and the idea that you get over it by love because it's hard!

A king who forcefully proclaims with a serious face, but what he is saying is color-bogged.

"Didn't your ex-wife die five years ago and the ministers say it's time to welcome a new queen? It'll be just fine."

Some subordinates turn away. Probably those who were recommending remarriage.

"Of course, not right away. When the matter of Julius and the brave settles down, we'll announce ourselves as fiancées, and when Mr. Mio grows up, we'll officially welcome him as queen."

He said he hadn't heard such a futuristic forecast...

Speaking of which, what does Mio think? I decided to ask in my reading.

Mio, do you want to marry the king?

"Hmm, it's a nice middle, and I guess I have the money, but honestly I guess it's a pass. Because you should be next to your husband. How's that for your husband, more than that? You want to make me queen and be the mastermind of this country?

Does Mio really want to mastermind me?

"That's why I'm not interested in the mastermind... As far as I'm concerned, Mio wouldn't want to be queen."

Exclusivity? If so, would you be a little happy? "

"Well, I guess so."

Ugh.

Mio is laughing at Nimmari. Of course, other member opponents would react the same way......

Besides, the king doesn't even know I was a criminal slave with poison, does he? You just don't think you can do it. "

"Uh, why didn't Mio sell it? That's just too bad for them..."

If you think about it normally, it is a combination of a former criminal slave queen or a worrying afterlife for a king.

In the meantime, let's do something about the king we're talking about on our own.

"I'm sorry, but you're not letting go of Mio to me"

"Why! You mean tearing up two people you love each other!?

Who and who love each other......

Was the king such a character? Something suddenly made me look retarded...

"Of course I'll give you a reward! How about some magical Grand Demon crystals!

The three rewards combined said it was an empty magic crystal, but when Mio alone gets magic... I wonder what the hell the negotiations were earlier.

It was rather the subordinates who were surprised by this statement. Naturally, too. Because the Great Demon Crystal is also a national imperative...

"Father! What are you lost in?! For that crap reason, it won't be that easy to give away the Great Demon Crystal with magic!

"What is crap! Isn't my first love pathetic!

Is this your first love...... Well, it's royal and romantic marriage wouldn't be easy.

Speaking of which, you said this topic was the most important or something. Are you an asshole......

"If this happens, it's a duel! Lord Jen! Bet on Mio, I'll go with you!

Where the king was about to say something stupid, he slammed a clean hit into the king's temple with a pattern of spears borrowed by the prince from his soldiers. A king that collapses as it is.

"Excuse me. My father said something stupid. If possible, could you decide not to ask me anything and go for the crusade of the brave? I'll get it back to sanity as soon as I can..."

The prince said so flauntingly as he returned the spear to the soldier. Going to the strange one as it is, I guess it was forced to end because I didn't know where the story was going to land. Until now, the shadows have been thin, but there seems to be a strong will to act without hesitation when needed. It's hard with the death of his eldest son, Prince Julius, but if someone like him is in the royal family, it would be cheap.... I wonder why I'm making royal reviews.

"And what about the reward thing? I'll tell you later, my father is like this..."

I don't think it's possible to talk about it when it's stretched in large letters (this Arisama).

Right. I got the Great Demon Crystal I wanted the most. I have another magic crystal, but would you like another one here?

"So can we have a house in the capital and a base place?

Since there is also a base in Kastal, it is not necessary to say otherwise, but I believe that there can be one or so locations in each country. And we need to get a place for Cynthia and the others who are going to be working in this country.

"It's a mansion. I get it. I'll have a couple of candidates ready."

A prince who immediately gives pleasure.

"Nice to meet you"

That's why we left while we watched. Katrea is also following me to the party.

"Don't Her Royal Highness the Princess Cattleya have to prepare or something?

"You can call it off. I was going to follow you guys from the start, so I'm already done getting ready. Everything you need is in the item box."

Show the pouch that Cattleya had. I checked with Sakura, which is about the same size she has, but it looks like a super luxury product with more than 10 times more stuff in it. Compared to Infinite Storage (Inventory), it's like an error.... No, is it pathetic to compare it to < infinite storage (inventory) >?

"Okay. Then let's keep going into the labyrinth. I'm back on Lilia's side, and I'm close to rendezvous with my people."

"Okay."

Shortly before I got out of the royal castle, Eryncia ran and approached me.

"I'm sorry to keep you busy. As you may have heard from Maria, I came after you because I wanted to thank you for saving Master Catlea. This way, please."

That being said, Elysia has been offering a bunch of envelopes.

"That's an envelope I've seen somewhere..."

"Yeah, I've got something from my connections that might be useful for you as a reference. If you need anything, take advantage of it."

"Okay. Thank you."

Elysia's references are very helpful. Few things would be wasted if Elysia had carefully selected them.

We left the royal castle and headed straight to the entrance to the labyrinth. Cattleya has spoken along the way.

"... Earlier, your father said that I would have committed the murder of the brave"

"Oh, what's wrong with that?

"I know it's an impossible wish, but could you really give me most of the courage?

As I knew, Katrea's anger at the lower part of the sun seems quite deeply ingrained.

"I have borrowed the sword of your brother's artifact. I want to stab the brave man with this sword by the funeral and put him to sleep with his brother."

Katrea's eyes are full of dark determination. There would be no point in persuading people like this just to their mouths. I don't want to persuade you originally...

As far as I'm concerned, I think it's more appropriate. The lower part of the day was to be caught up by its own deeds. The curtain draws edges, no. Those with causes should do it. Tyranno? I'm sorry about the food, but I'm gonna kick your ass.

"Okay. I'll try to get Cattleya to stab me as hard as I can."

"Thank you. At the dawn of the Brave Crusade, I will do whatever I can to make it happen."

"Dude, can a princess run like that..."

The princess will do anything for you.

"Yeah, because I'll disappear from the surface stage when this thing's over anyway"

"What do you mean?

"Because you've got this ugly look. You won't have to marry me anywhere, and I won't look good in public. If you were to kill a brave man, you might be targeted by Eldia. You'll spend the rest of your life somewhere on the border."

I don't even have a wife. Stay out of politics. Targeted by a nasty opponent. Sure, I might have to disappear from the surface stage and live sneaky.

"What do you say? You don't mind if we meet at night, do you? I wish I had such a worn out body, though.... Even if you tell Jen that there are so many beautiful kids and pretty kids around, I'm just miserable..."

"You're pretty much abandoning yourself."

"Naturally..."

It crosses the entrance of the labyrinth with Katrea, which then becomes silent, and transfers to 19 layers with phase transfer stones.

"Dear Jen, I've been waiting for you"

It was Maria who welcomed us on the move. Cynthia and the twins seem to be hunting demons a little further apart.

"All three! Master Jen is here."

"" "Yes." "

Looks like the battle is just over, and the three of them are on their way here. When I check, my status is up there. Looks like you've been fighting for quite some time.

A: About an hour, right?

I would have to explain the story to Maria and the others so they wouldn't be suspicious, but if I did, I could talk a lot about it.

"Well, we need to talk to Cattleya where we're all here"

"What is it?

"Katrea wants to stab a brave man in the stomach, right?

"Yes, of course."

Katrea snorts hard. I grip the sword, which is my brother's shape, with my uncrushed left hand.

"Can we just hold back? You don't think I want to fight and let you down?

"It......, of course I want to defeat it with my own hands. But I'm not the one who can win. The brave blessing (gift) didn't go through the Volcano Golem because they are stiff. It should be the closest ability to a normal human opponent."

You're the strongest. It's funny to say you're the strongest at that level of ability.

"Brave Blessings (Gifts) sounds like fast travel"

"That's right. I used it when I stabbed the king. It's pretty fast, but it's not so fast that you can't catch it with your eyes."

That's right. Serra was right, she looked solid on me, too. Apparently, you can move at three times the speed of an ordinary person, but in fact, if you have a level of 5, you can follow it with your eyes, and if you have 7, you can get close to it. Of course, there would be synergies if there was a bottom up by, but it doesn't matter because the sun bottom only had blessings (gifts) and skills that could only be used for combat.

"Oh, you were seeing that move!?

Katrea is amazed. I guess I couldn't tell Katrea's because it's level 2.

"Yeah, I think maybe all these members were in sight."

All the members who were there nod. I'm not going to snort because you're not supposed to see me and Sakura.

"I wonder if I can handle that. Exactly when they tell you to shoot with your bow, it's a little harsh..."

Mio takes over the story. By the way, Dora and Kate were there, but I can't talk, so I won't say anything.

"Are you Mio and the others too...... I knew it, but I'm the number one useless person."

"Regardless of whether it's useless or not, I'm pretty sure you have the lowest fighting ability. That's why you gave up defeating brave men with your own hands, right?

"Yes, it is... Will the Jens alone defeat those brave men enough? I'm more of a foot wrapper to join..."

"Oh, I guess it would have been. But here's a suggestion from me."

"Suggestion, is it?

I guess Katrea doesn't know what I'm trying to say. Naturally, what we're about to do isn't normal.

"Katrea said if you defeat the brave, you can do whatever you want. Aren't you going to bring that forward? To be specific, wouldn't that be my subordinate?

"Subordination, is it?

"Oh, if you mean to swear wholeheartedly that you will be under my command, I think you can give Catlea as much power as you can to defeat that brave man. That way, Cattleya can fight the braves."

"Oh, is that true!?

Katrea has a stunned look on her face and follows me. If you think calmly, it's an absurd story, but you seem so mentally stranded that you can't even think about it. That's all, I guess the hatred for the brave is strong.

I think I can add Cattleya to my handouts.... No, I know. You just look like you're collecting royal women. Besides, in the form of putting a girl in a mouth truck who is not in her normal mental state with hatred and giving up, is.

"Oh, it's true. However, there are many things that people cannot tell you, so many of the things that I have spoken about are useless if they are to be distributed. Oh, don't get me wrong. It's not" Don't tell me, "it's" I won't be able to tell you. "

Of course, you don't have to be under the authority to be given status and skills, and you can recover deficiencies caused by 'Revive'. But to do it without subordination, there is a small risk attached. At least if you keep it under control, the 'don't say' order will have a pretty strong influence.

If you don't want to be handed over, this is the end of the story. All you have to do is answer whatever they ask. The content of the request is the crusade of the brave. It doesn't matter because there's no story in there about following Cattleya's instructions. I can do whatever I want.

Katrea, who can lean over for a while and go through her thoughts. When I raised my face, I looked at me with my dark determined eyes.

"Dear Jen. Make sure it's under distribution. There's no more stuff to lose anyway. If you can fight a brave man with this hand, I will sell my soul to the devil."

The next time you call God, is the next time you call the devil? Well, either way, I feel closer to you. Well, it's a corner, so why don't you say that line?

"Do you want power?

"Buho!

Mio is blowing, holding his belly and laughing. The atmosphere is ruined.

"Yes! I want power! The power to kill brave men!

"Then put out your fingers and swear you'll be handed over."

Katrea comes out with her left hand that hasn't been crushed before me. I get my left hand out, too, and I cut my finger with my pinky finger. Katrea became my subordinate. Transfer status and skills to Cattleya at the same time.

Name: Cattleya

LV12

Skill:

"Chi, the power is overflowing all over my body!?

I guess I tasted that feeling because of my rapidly rising abilities. Katrea is stunned as she moves her body.

"If this..., we could really defeat that brave man..."

"As I said, there's no point in saying anything else about my powers."

"Yes. I know. Everyone would want power if they knew they could do this..."

Catlea thinks a little sober and realizes the usefulness of this force.

"Of course, don't tell the king either. I'm not going to serve the Estea Kingdom."

"Yes, I'm a little sorry, but I get it"

"And one more thing. We can heal your arm and erase the burns."

"Can you even do that!? … If I could, I would have liked to have told you a little sooner, but it's not something you can tell others no matter what you think."

Well, there's no way you can tell. Essentially, any one of our secrets about aliens is enough to turn our common sense upside down.

"But I'm fine now. If you heal this wound now, your anger towards the brave might fade your hatred a little. That is not at all acceptable. First we defeat the brave with this hatred. I'll think about it then."

It was a little unexpected that Cattleya refused to recover the defect, but was convinced by the words that followed. Katrea's anger would be profound and would mean rejecting even "anger diminishing". I would rather prefer that consistency.

I can't say I can't do that for that reason. One arm, so you'll lose some fighting ability, but you'll have our follow up and it won't be an issue.

"Okay. Then we'll talk about it again."

"Please do yourself a favor, but will you let Dawn, who defeated the brave man, consider it again..."

"Oh, I don't mind"

"Thank you......"

Well, apart from revenge on the brave, I guess it's only natural that you want to heal if you can.

"So it's time to have a meeting against the brave"

Later for a detailed (Mio's) explanation to Cattleya, let's prioritize defeating the brave first.

"First, I'm going to decide who's going to take part in this fight"

"Huh? Aren't we all going to fight?

Katrea asks me wondering.

"That's too much power for a brave opponent. At least you can beat me, Dora, Maria and Sella one-on-one for sure."

"Is the strength of the Jens so..."

Katrea laughs bitterly. Speaking of which, didn't Cattleya ever see our fight in person? I was passed out in the Volcano Golem.

"I could have followed you with my eyes, but my body is not going to follow me..."

Sakura says softly. By the way, Sakura's level is 10. Could non-production skills also require negative correction for the alien?

A: No. It's just production skills. She just has her natural lack of motor nerves outweighing her skill impact levels.

... Sakura's lack of motor nerves seems to be beyond correcting her skills.

"I am incompatible with weapons. Bows and daggers don't give a damn about fighting a quick opponent alone."

Mio would be tough on his own, too. I mean, Sakura and Mio are both guards, so if you say you don't have to do that, then what?

Of course, it's easy for even two people to instantly kill someone about the bottom of the sun if they maximize their status. But I'm not going to get that far at the bottom of the sun, and I'm not going to get that much status in this fight because Cattleya's not going to make it.

"Because this time the star is only Katrea. Other members are only supportive."

"Then I will join the battle as a shield."

"Okay."

Serra was the first to announce his participation in the war. If you had Serra as your shield, Cattleya would be much easier too.

"What about Cynthia and the others?

Cynthia and the twins looked like trouble when I turned to Cynthia and the others.

"I'm not ready to fight people yet. I don't want to do this."

"" Neither do we ""

Cynthia, the twins have fought for a long time and have become quite capable. But so far, I have no experience in interpersonal combat and murder. I'm diving into the labyrinth and until then when I say I don't have a chance to fight people......

Maria, Mio, and Serra had no unexpected hesitation about the murder, but I guess it's more unusual there.

I have no intention of forcing murder, whether I be a slave or not. That's what people do when they're ready. No one should gain from letting an unprepared person kill a person.

"How's Kate?

"I will fight if my husband wishes. If your husband doesn't want it, he won't fight it."

"... well, that's a tour with the other three"

Yes, sir.

Kate doesn't want the fight, she wants it to help me. You seem to think it's useless to fight a battle I don't want. Instead, you wouldn't hesitate to kill me if I wanted...

"What is Jen planning to do?

"Hmm, you're a pass because you're not the kind of person I want to fight, and you don't get much."

Answer Maria's question that way. When I stabbed the king between my eyes, I could not say that my movements were very, but sophisticated. It wouldn't be a good experience to deal with an amateur who just relied on the strength of his skills.

"Then I will join the war."

"Maria? Are you sure?

I thought you said you were close to protect me because you meant Maria.

"If you're in the same room, you don't have to be nearby"

I see, the problem is that I'm fighting in 'Invisible Places'.

"In the first place, I'm not going to let Jen get any closer."

"Oh, then I'll join you! You're not coming to me if these two are going to join us. It's easier to move with at least one guard."

"Naturally. I won't let anyone behind me."

Mio seems to be joining us. Sounds like you've thought about the whole balance.

Good night, Dora.

Dora did not participate and......

Well, sometimes they say brave people, and you can't predict how to behave Sakura...

"What about Sakura? If you don't want to see me, you can stay back in base, or if you hate me, you can join us, okay?

Sakura hates school people more than I do. You don't want to see me at the bottom of the day, but you won't be able to follow me, and if you want to clear up your depression, you can join the fight.

"I..., tour. I'm not going to fight, but I'm not going home."

"Can I ask why?

"I said something similar before I came to this country, but don't you hate it when I get back now it looks like I'm going to run... If you join the fight, you may gain momentum and stab the stomach. Jen, this is the first time I've seen a brave man since I started my journey, so I can't predict what I'm doing..."

"You mean to see how things go away because you don't know what you'll do when you put a brave man in front of you?

"Yes. So please say no this time"

If that's what you said, you shouldn't let Sakura participate.

"Okay. Then there are four of us, Maria, Mio and Serra, including Cattleya."

"" "" Yes!

After that, we had meetings such as formations. Serra is the shield on the basic street, Maria and Katrea are the attackers, and Mio is the guard.

Well, I guess it's time to head for the brave crusade.

"He's not a big opponent, and it's time to leave and just take him down. Looks like the brave guys are still on the 18th floor. As soon as we get up the nearby stairs."

That's what I'm gonna say. We're gonna start getting ready to leave. Only Katrea hasn't kept up with the story.

"Huh? How do you know where the brave man is?

"That's my ability, too."

……

Katrea, who is stubborn in my words.

"I remember saying 'out of standard' about Jen, but you were actually 'out of standard or more'..."

"Well, we still have a lot to tell others. I'll tell you all about it later."

"That still sounds like a lot of surprises..."

"Yeah, I think you should give up."

Sakura says so, but Sakura can't say much about people either. I have the same allergy...

Now, while walking, let's talk a little bit about the current situation of the brave. The brave man hasn't moved since morning and is in an 18-layer safety zone. By this safe zone I mean the large room where demons do not occur and are not spontaneously approached. For the record, it is also a safety zone near the door in front of the boss. Of course, even though I don't know how much it won't come out, I'm talking about if I'm comfortable in a situation where there's a boss across the door...

Mr. Tamo is observing away from the brave, but there is no sign of any movement. You may not have to worry about food because brave men also have item boxes, but what do you want to do?

"Maybe you're waiting for someone to come through? If you're going to take a phase transfer stone from a seeker who entered from outside the capital, you're going to buy it. Aren't you going to run?

It was Maria who answered my question like that. Then I'm also convinced why it doesn't work, but is there such a crowd?

"I've heard of it. That there's an area on the 18th floor where herbs are flocked, and the usage of the safety zone is pretty high..."

Looks like Cattleya knew the answer. Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any explorers nearby, but there's a chance they'll suddenly come out with a phase transition stone. And to see how the sun goes down, I'm going to kill and take it away without doing anything to buy it. You'd be suspicious if you were a normal explorer to want phase transfer stones from other regions in such a deep layer.

"Then you better hurry."

"Yeah, you don't know what the brave men who are being caught up do."

Serra and Mio are right, you better hurry. I spent a lot of time at the meeting. You can get away with the extra damage or something. It won't go out of style. Let's just go and crusade the brave.

He proceeded as he defeated the demon, reaching up to 18 levels. In the few fights so far, Katrea seemed accustomed to an elevated status. As a prep against the brave, he fought on several occasions alone with the Cattlemen. It won't be a clump of legs, as it's somewhat dull but not bad for party fights.

Mio's explanation began while running lightly at this time. In the meantime, I decided to teach you about the incompetence and our origins. I don't want to upset you when I hear you're from the same other world. If they think you're one of the brave ones, it's a hassle.

"So you're the otherworlds who were summoned as brave men but kicked out because they didn't have blessings (gifts)"

"That's right. Don't get me wrong he's one of us, right?

"Okay. Otherwise, you're not going to help me with the crusade, are you? If you want to sneak me away, there's no reason to bring me..."

"It was also your husband's instructions that healed the king in the first place. Seems like it was unexpected for your husband to fall in love with me..."

"... when I get home, I hope it's healing..."

It's not my fault the king is broken. I wouldn't mind Mio becoming my stepmother, even as Cattleya.

"I mean, all the others are from different sources, right? I've never known there was a brave man in this world."

"According to Jen's story, it's sealed and its strength never comes on the table. If you were there, you'd be dead before anyone even noticed."

"If it weren't for my husband, I would never have noticed."

As Maria and Cynthia put it, even if there had been a brave man before, he wouldn't have been noticed because of the < seal >. If you realize, if you can't take your skills away like me, you can't take them off.

Later, as a Cattleya, there seems to be nowhere to think of the brave men of this world, and I treat them normally. Well, that's not the kind of thing I'd have enjoyed if I'd been with that.

"And it's all incredible stories about Mio's reincarnators and Dora being a dragon race (DragonNewt)"

Shall we be dragons?

"May I ask you a favor?

Yeah!

Dora in dragon form and lands on my head.

"Or it's cute...... I want to hug......"

Katrea hugged him. He does, but he seems to have given up because he's one arm and he runs with a weapon.

We proceeded with such a story and arrived in the 18-layer safety zone. Oh, Dora's getting her back into her human form.

The safety zone is about the size of a gym, with a friendly design with small springs and no drinking water problems. The lower part of the sun is formed near the fountain. I guess they decided that a lot of people would stop by the fountain to secure drinking water.
