Side: Yuki
At last, the allied forces have begun to move.
As planned, we will take the route that runs from Roshur to the Demon King’s castle.
But, Herge, Seraria and I, Weed members who should be taking part in the campaign right now are…
「Leia, how about now?」
「I also think this place it’s good enough」
「We also think it’s a good place」
I entrusted the march to Doppel, so as to concentrate on strengthening without stopping the hero wife that I got yesterday.
By the way, I’m lacking in sleep because yesterday I enjoyed all night with Leia.
It’s really convenient to have skipped the departure ceremony.
「Leia-san, leave the weapons to me, you’re a hero after all!! I’ll make them with all my strength!!」
「Um, thank you」
「Fufufu, never in my dreams thought that the day would come when I would be in charge of making the hero’s armor!! I feel blessed to be a master blacksmith!!」
As for Narujia-san, I’m tempted in making full use of my DP to create unprecedented cheat weapon.
「Um, you are going to hide the fact that Leia is a hero, right? If you make it so flashy then…」
「That’s not good!」
「Do you know what you are even saying?」
「Doing such a thing to a girl…」
For some reason, Seraria, Delhi, and Herge looked at me in a way as if they could not believe what was happening.
「E-Errr. If Yuki would forgive me, then I would like to wear, umm, elegant clothes. After all, I’ll be standing next to you. Besides, I’m your guard」
「Well said, Leia」
「Umu, like a perfect bride」
Well, if Leia wants to wear elegant clothes then it should be fine.
Besides, I think it’s important that she is recognized as a guard.
「I’m fine either way. But don’t push yourself too hard」
「Yes」
Now that Leia answered with certainty, I know that she will not force herself to wear something she doesn’t like.
For the time being, I’ll put Leia’s matter aside and focus on the Allied Forces situation.
Approximately three hours after departure. Their actual position should be 24 km from Weed.
About 8 km per hour. It’s unusual for a march of over 10,000 troops to move so fast.
Certainly a horse-only march would be faster than a fully equipped army, however being in complete synchrony, its march is not slow.
It seems that it is not a lie that they are the best of the best. Because it’s believed that this is going to be a siege warfare, the amount of calvary does not exceed even 10 percent of the whole unit.
The infantry is the main force and that is why they advance at this speed.
I think the reason why I think that the speed of 8km per hour is slow must be because I came from Japan where science has developed since it’s not like we’re walking 24 hours a day.
Roughly ten hours are for marching, the remaining fourteen hours are used for eating, sleeping, construction, etc.
I think our marching speed is not average if not the fastest in all history.
Since usually a foot soldiers march speed of 15 km per hour is technically running.
It’s said that the walking speed of a person is about 4 km per hour. Even if that person walked fast, it would be around 10 km per hour.
So if you think about it, then this Allied Forces are excellent.
So now I can understand how abnormal it is to use these vehicles, the marauder, in this world.
Since it can go up to as far as 120 km per hour.
This time we can not use our cheat item because we are with the Allied Forces.
Though the Rats are moving through the subway using the marauder.
「Rats, how is it going? As far as what appears on the screen, it seems that there is no problem」
『Yes yes, there is no problem at all. As long as the ground is not uneven, I can step on the accelerator all I want』
「Please try to drive safely」
『I know that very well』
Once I made sure the Rats’s path was safe, I looked again at the map where all the strategies were written.
Approximately a straight-line distance of 1000 km to the castle of the Demon King. According to our march speed, the calculated time that it would take us to get there would be less than 20 days.
However, you have to take into account that you have to take impossible routes to avoid, go through barriers, even climb mountains, so it would not be wrong to say that it would take us at least 30 days.
Due to the plan’s circumstances, the marauder should reach its destination in about 4 days given that it’s taking the underground route. If it were in a straight line, it would not even take a day.
But well, it’s not like they can drive for 10 hours without stop.
「What about you, Surakichi?」
『Really troublesome, but the plan should be progressing without any problems for the time being. The number gathered there was more than estimated but I’ve already taken care of my designated powerful monsters』
「What? Already?」
Fast, too fast!
『After all, they are displayed on the MAP. It’s been two days since we started eliminating the small fry on the army’s march route. I’m sure you already know, General. My level and the average level of my men』
「Well, of course, I know that. Good work even though they were scattered. But there was a lot of distance, right?」
『Ah, it’s about that? I used that, the cannonball tackle that you, the general, taught me』
「What! Don’t tell me that you went flying directly towards the enemies?」
『Yep. Thanks to that, I only needed to jump once every time I needed to reach some important place』
The cannonball tackle, eh? I taught such tactic to Surakichi on the Litea’s battle.
How to make yourself into an artillery shell and shoot yourself using an explosion by magic. Of course, you would flight a considerable distance.
However, this can be used only by those who can strengthen their bodies to a large extent with magic power or those who have slime-like bodies.
「For the time being, don’t neglect your guard since we don’t know if the Demon King sent his army」
『Gotcha. I know that. However, Bou-chan and Jou-chan’s enemies are the ones who ended with broken bones at school』
But you don’t have bones. I held back with all my strength to throw out such tsukkomi.
But I’m sure if I leave it to Surakichi he won’t lose against any monster or Demon King.
Nn, I feel somewhat strange thinking such a thing, but it’s true that I feel relieved.
「It’s really wasteful to use Surakichi in luring the Demon King to kill him」
「Wow, what’s wrong Delhi?」
「Nn, Leia was troubled about her clothes, you see. So she wanted to hear Yuki’s opinion」
「Ahー, the ones she will be using on formal occasions…」
It’s not like I don’t know, that helping to choose a woman’s clothes involves having a lot of willpower.
I’d like to think that it’s something unique related to the culture of the modern era but… When I turn my gaze towards Leia, a huge number of clothes were already hung on hangers and lined up.
Most of the wives are worried about Leia not wearing the finest clothes.
「Well, It’s not like I don’t know how they feel. A hero has appeared among their family. Be patient Yuki」
「Says the Demon King Delhi」
「It’s okay if Yuki is the only one who loves us. But even if we hide the fact that Leia is a hero, she continues to be your guard. If she wears distasteful clothes they will make fun of her. And being made fun of will bring troublesome things. That’s why it is important that she dress something suitable for her」
「You’re right, it can’t be helped. Then I’ll cooperate too」
When I go to where Leia and the others are, all eyes gather on me at once.
「So, you’re worried about what clothes to wear?」
「That’s right. Since she’s going to be your guard I suggested for her to wear a full plate system and a military uniform…」
「I understand fully your point, Milly. But before being a guard, she is a wife. I don’t know what to think about such boorish clothes. Why don’t wear a dress armor like me?」
Like that, Milly pushed for a military uniform and armor while Seraria pushed for a dress armor.
「I’m with Milly on this since it’s easier to moveー. So I guess I agree with her」
「As for me I guess that a dress armor would make her look better」
Since Riel is very lively she wants her to wear something similar to her, as for Tori, she belongs to the dress armor faction, the more beautiful the better it is.
「Um, which one do you prefer, Yuki-san?」
Leia asks while comparing with difficulty both clothes.
「Let me think, if you just want cuteness, then I guess the dress armor would be fine, but Milly and Riel also have a point in choosing clothes suitable for war. I’m also troubled. If only there was a way to decide…」
「Fufufu, then let me decide for you all!!」
「Any idea?」
Seraria puffs her chest with confidence.
「Yes, it’s like this, If you choose the dress armor, then you can do it with husband whenever you want!! But if you choose the other, you’ll have to take off your pants every time!!」
「Hey」
It’s not wrong, but it’s wrong in many ways.
「I, I choose the dress armor!!」
「Uouiii!?」
Leia ended up deciding immediately.
「How could this happen! Such a blind spot! I wonder if it’s because I’m wearing hot pants that my number of time is less?」
「It’s because I also wear pants that you don’t want to do it so much outside?」
「Wait, wait a second」
Riel and Tori from the trouser faction are saying some weird things.
Afterward, all my wives started wearing skirts.
Thanks to that, I can no longer overlook my wives even in the middle of work.
Now let’s return to the main subject.
「Sure, then, Leia’s armor will be a dress armor, okay? The basic color will be black, so, um, yes, please leave it to me. I’ll have it done in three days」
「As long you don’t overdo it」
Since Narujia-san always goes too far.
「It’s okay. Since I’ll be spending the full three days on making Leia’s personal equipment!!」
What? You want to change the power balance of the world?
No, Weed itself has already broken this world’s power balance.
Rather, it means that I could have captured the castle of the Demon King easily all this time with only my wives.
「By the way, Leia’s hero power, what it is?」
「That’s right, I never asked about that」
「…It’s important to know the power of your friends」
Oh, before I knew it, Kaya had returned and no matter what they said, I’m sure she was worried about Leia.
「Umm, sorry. I have yet to hear the full details from Lilyciu-sama」
「Fufufu, I thought you’d say that」
As soon as Leia is in trouble Lilyciu comes out.
「Then, you should have told us yesterday if you knew」
「My belly was full so I forgot」
This girl is not good.
Although she is not as bad as Luna, she continues being a part of the useless goddess.
She is the kind of person who is capable of many things, but at the same time, she won’t involve herself in trivial things.
「Well, well, it seems that I arrived in time before the departure」
She’s like a grandma.
I put all the information about the hero skills together.
Hero’s love skill effect
・If the lover, husband is alive and well the status is doubled.
・Objects such as rings and the like that both possess multiply by five the status.
・Family also benefits by having their status multiplied by 1.5 times.
・However, if the mental state of the person in question worsens, the benefits will disappear. (The blessing will disappear in case the lover or the husband dies. Loss of Family will halve the blessings, and so on)
・Abnormal status will disappear
「So it’s like this, I have this extraordinary skill…」
「Impossible, this is not something that a mere country or organization can handle」
「…It’s like you said, and because of that all the heroes until now had their respective families taken hostage, their lovers murdered, and were rendered useless」
The price is too much for an ultra-high performance skill.
Knowing this, there is no other option than to hide the fact that Leia is a hero.
「You have to be careful to not be cuckolded since the blessing will disappear. But well, I’m sure Yuki-san will be fine」
Well, after all, I have a solid relationship with all my wives.
「Uwaaaー It’s true. My status has been multiplied by 1.5 times」
「It seems that she even thinks of us as if we were family」
「Of course. Riel and Tori are important family members」
「「Thank you」」
These three hugged tightly.
I also confirmed it with my wives who were in the middle of work, and so it seems that all those who live in this inn have benefited from the hero’s skill.
It’s really amazing the power of a hero.
「……Ou, it seems that even we have our status upgraded…」
「It’s okay, isn’t it? It should be okay even if you, a Demon King, get a blessing from the hero」
Delhi seems to have complicated feelings, but Seraria laughs as she shrugs off the problem.
Well, no matter how you think about it, it’s rare for a Demon King to receive a blessing from the Hero.
By the way, Leia already knows that Delhi is a Demon King.
「Did Delhi’s status raised properly?」
「Umu, it’s going up. But I wonder if such a thing is good」
「It’s alright!! You are already part of my family, Delhi-san!!」
「I, I see. Thanks. Before you being a Hero, you are too, part of my family!!」
Yeah, I think that even her personality is befitting of a hero.
However, it continues to be an abnormal situation that a Hero and a Demon King hug each other only after a single sentence.
「Everyone, Leia’s skill would become disadvantageous if it were to be known by someone. For the safety of our family, I ask you not to reveal it to anyone」
「「「Understood」」」
『『『We won’t talk ever』』』
Today the Allied Forces began to move, but for us, it became such an unimportant topic…
