Vol 3 Chapter 66

Chapter 66

I made an immature speech

The formal signing with the neighboring countries of the former empire in addition to Earlshyde, Els, and Ys is over. The details will be decided by a meeting of the ministers from the coalition parties.

When they reach a consensus on how many troops will be dispatched, who will be responsible for the supplies and the on-site allocation, it will be officially signed.

In the Swede Kingdom where the tripart.i.te talks took place, we parted with the delegation of Ys and headed for Earlshyde Kingdom with the Els Federation of Free Commerce delegation.

Because of his remarks to send a beautiful woman from a little while ago, Maria pa.s.sed her request to go in Naval’s horse-drawn carriage and used body strengthening to jump back to her carriage. The people of Els delegation were surprised by it, but it was a peaceful mood.

The highway we’re taking is full of carriages from the delegations of Earlshyde and Els.

However, because it’s such a large group travelling together, something is bound to go wrong.

“There is a huge demon reaction coming from the left! The size is medium to large… What!?”(Lookout)

“What!? What’s wrong?”(s.h.i.+n)

“One of the reactions is a disaster cla.s.s!”(Lookout)

“What!?”(Merchants)

Oh, it’s a group of demons. They seem to show up frequently.

Although the first trip went without any hitches, when returning, a disaster cla.s.s appeared.

“Is it… A bear?”(Merchant)

“It looks like one! A super big bear!”(Lookout)

“Kuuku bears!? A super big bear!?”(Merchant)

“It’s hopeless… My life is over…”(Merchant)

“I wish I had went straight back home without stopping at Earlshyde…”(Merchant)

The Els people are only merchants without escorts. If a bear demon also became a disaster cla.s.s, it would be enough to induce despair.

“Why are you all so depressed?”(August)

Gus is speaking with an inquisitive expression to the Els delegation that’s. .h.i.t by despair.

“What!? It is a disaster cla.s.s! Wouldn’t you usually respond with an army? There are so many demons. Why are you so calm…”(Merchant)

“Didn’t I say it a little while ago? All of us can slay disaster cla.s.s demons alone.”(August)

“If it that’s the case…”(Merchant)

“Well, look around. Even our escorts aren’t being on guard.”(August)

Gus said that and came out to the front lines.

“Well, what will we do this time?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Because there are no parents this time, we don’t have to do it separately.”(August)

“Well then, I’ll do it.”(Rin)

“I want you to leave it to me this time.”(Tony)

“What’s wrong, Tony?”(s.h.i.+n)

Rin is as usual, but this time Tony insisted on being the one killing.

“I was disappointed in the destructive power in magic. I think that I could get a some good materials if it’s a disaster-grade demon. So I want to try to beat it cleanly.”(Tony)

“Is that true?”(s.h.i.+n)

Because disaster cla.s.ses that have been subjugated so far were first come first serve, everyone just released magic with full power anyway.

As a result… It was rare for the demons to keep their original form. I haven’t ever gotten any disaster-grade demon material.

It seems to be pretty expensive like my old world’s equivalent to a  tiger skin. We were being a bit wasteful.

By the way, the tiger demons hunted during the joint training with the knights academy was purchased by the m

ilitary.

It should have been transferred to my account… I don’t know how much money was transferred as the amount of money in my account is abnormal.

“Oh! I want to do that too!”(Alice)

Alice who wasn’t interested before, bit onto the point that the materials would sell for a higher price.

“I would also like to do something like that.”(Olivia)

“Me too. I would be able to introduce a new kiln to the smithy.”(Mark)

“I will be able install a toilet in every restroom of my hotel.”(Yuri)

“I want to hunt bears because their materials are good.”(Rin)

“It’s no use, Rin. I want to practice harvesting them.”(Tony)

The commoner group insisted that they do it, and after all someone had to take charge and decide.

And that would be…

“We’ll take turns.”(s.h.i.+n)

I take out the lottery from my Different Dimension Storage.

“Why do you always have the lottery ready?”(Thor)

I can’t answer Thor’s question because I don’t remember either.

“Well then, the winner is responsible for the disaster cla.s.s.”(s.h.i.+n)

And the result of an impartial lottery…

“Yes!”(Tony)

“Aaaaah! I’m out again!”(Alice)

“d.a.m.n… Tony is lucky.”(Rin)

“Don’t click your tongue so easily Rin.”(s.h.i.+n)

Tony drew the hit this time.

“Okay then will you be able to strip the bear’s fur?”(August)

“By the way, what is bear fur used for?”(s.h.i.+n)

“It’s mainly used as a material for leather armor. Even if you can kill a disaster cla.s.s bear it will usually be mess, so if you can get it in a clean state, you can sell at a high price.”(Tony)

“Really?”(s.h.i.+n)

While exchanging such interactions, the group of demons are getting closer and closer.

“Ah, that… There are disaster cla.s.ses here, how can they be so calm?”(Merchant)

“Oh, it was a similar story when we went to the Rittenheim resort…”(Escort)

“There is no problem if you leave it to his Highness. Honestly, I can accept that carefree att.i.tude.”(Escort)

“I mean disaster cla.s.ses are usually outrageous… It’s because people are saying things like that…”(Escort)

Another escort answered the escorts question. By the way, it’s one of the escorts who was present when we went to Julius’ parents territory.

“Well, this time we are going to collect demon materials so explosions are banned.”(s.h.i.+n)

“No problem.”(Rin)

“The one who used the most explosive magic was you, s.h.i.+n!”(Alice)

“… Okay, prepare for battle!”(s.h.i.+n)

“I was ignored…”(Alice)

That’s not true. The flock of demons had already closed in.

“Well then… let’s go!”(s.h.i.+n)

Everyone used magic all at once on my signal. Water and wind blades was the magic mainly used to combat the demons.

Shoot the blades one after another aiming at the neck of the demon.

“Oh! I’ve bisected him!”(Alice)

“Fufufu, I‘m doing fine…”(Rin)

“Rin, it’s not in pieces.”(Alice)

“Failed.”(Rin)

“How should I put it… It feels like I’m playing a game.”(Tony)

“Hm, I guess you are not wrong. Oops, I failed. I bisected it vertically.”(s.h.i.+n)

We don’t move from our starting positions, and carefully suppress them one by one.

This is good. It’s perfect for precise magic practice.

The amount of magical power everyone can contol has increased a lot recently. After I taught them magic image, they just steamroll with power.

They’re not good at exercising such precise magic…. They don’t have a lot of experience.

Should I periodically incorporate it into magic practice? Old Empire… It seems to be called “Demon Territory” since the talks, but a lot of demons are overflowing from there, and it’s quite a problem. While thinning the demons out, I’ll consult with Gus.

“At any rate, s.h.i.+n is amazing, isn’t he?”(Sicily)

“He is. How can he fire it so precisely?”(Thor)

There are questions from Sicily and Thor, but it’s natural to be able to shoot magic precisely.

“I was using magic to hunt, and you don’t want your prey to explode, do you? I either hit my prey between the eyes or aimed for the neck.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Indeed, the part that can be eaten disappears if it’s a mess.”(Sicily)

“A reasonable answer.”(Thor)

“But it’s surprising. Mr. Walford uses magic of great power without reservation.”(Olivia)

“Hold on Olivia, isn’t that a little mean?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Well, that precisely means that Walford is actually awesome, doesn’t it? Magical tools require precision.”(Yuri)

People are casually chatting about magic while killing demons.

Olivia, who can pleasantly chat while slaying demons, is no longer a cafeteria city girl.

“They’ve decreased considerably. I will be going after the disaster-cla.s.s soon.”(Tony)

Tony said so, while taking out the vibrating sword from the Different Dimension Storage.

“Oh, have fun.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Huhhhhh, then… Here I come!”(Tony)

Tony launched the jet boots and jumped over the heads of the remaining demons and landed in front of the 5 meter long bear.

I deal with the demons while keeping an eye out just in case I need to intervene.

“What… is he going alone!?”(Merchant)

“Cha! Your highness Augusto! What are you thinking!?”(Merchant)

“Hmm? If it’s Freed, he’ll be fine by himself. Well, take a look.”(August)

The delegation people in the back raise complaints about Tony taking on a disaster cla.s.s demon by himself, but Tony would complain if other demons interrupted him.

And Tony already started his fight.

The bear swings up its gargantuan right arm and shook it down towards Tony, but Tony started up the jet boots and avoided it. He’s gotten quite good at handling them.

Avoiding the swing of its right arm, Tony jumped towards the head of the bear as he avoided the subsequent swing of the bear’s left arm.

The ground was like a crater from the punches, however Tony avoided them with room to spare.

And in front of the bears face… Tony closed the gap and slipped in there.

One swing of the vibrating sword was all it took. Tony kicked the bear’s shoulder and leapt away from the bear.

The delegates held their breaths at the sight but were already convinced that the suppression had ended.

The bear slowly fell forward…

… leaving it’s head behind.

When a bear with a length of five meters without a head falls down, it shakes the ground with a bang.

Tony had a satisfied expression after slaying the bear flawlessly while returning to us using the jet boots.

“Thanks, I was able to beat it cleanly.”(Tony)

“Did you do it well? It should be as precise as s.h.i.+n’s shot between the eyes.”(August)

Well, if it’s this clean there won’t be any complaints.

“Ooooo! Amazing!”(Merchant)

“To beat a disaster cla.s.s so easily…”(Merchant)

“This is… I can not deny that his Highness is extraordinary.”(Merchant)

“Cha… isn’t this amazing?”(Merchant)

Escorts and the delegation people were surprised because of Tony.

Well, we defeated the main disaster cla.s.s, so why don’t we wrap things up?

“Can we eliminate them all at once?”(s.h.i.+n)

“Eh? Weren’t we supposed to collect them?”(Alice)

“If that’s the case I’d like to blow them up.”(Rin)

“I won’t do that. The goal of collecting them doesn’t change.”(s.h.i.+n)

Long ago when I was hunting in the forest, I frequently used my hands when taking down  highly cautious prey.

First of all, it’s consciously “Guiding” and activating the magic called “Mark”. Then stealthily place a “Lock On” between the eyes of the demon.

When all demons were marked by the magic, small but bulky water bullets were directed towards that marker. And…

“Go! Go!”(s.h.i.+n)

All water bullets were fired at once.

Water bullets released in large quant.i.ties overran the horde of demons… but they were guided towards the markers aimed between the demon’s eyes therefore drawing a somewhat unnatural trajectory.

The remaining demons… OK, there are none. Complete annihilation. And then, looking back to everyone… Everyone was stunned. Including everyone on the team.

“What… was that?”(Julius)

“They landed from some unnatural trajectories?”(Rin)

“You don’t understand the significance of your magic again…”(August)

“Ha… s.h.i.+n is amazing.”(Sicily)

Only Sicily has a slightly different in reaction, but everyone has a disgusted face.

“It is magic I often used when hunting in the forest so that I can reliably hunt when the prey is highly cautious and there are a lot of them. I didn’t use it to slay demons all that much.”(s.h.i.+n)

“Even so, it’s too amazing. Not only the delegation but we were also surprised.”(August)

The Els delegates were in a daze.

Well, have we confirmed our fighting power here?

From now on, it’s necessary to check each other’s fighting strengths in order to attack the devil territory.

In terms of Els’ war potential, it seems that it’s the same as the Earles.h.i.+de army.

According to Gus, it seems that we’re a secluded force.

Although I showed our fighting power… I wonder what Els’ Naval has to say? Unlike when the disaster cla.s.se was brought down, he has a face of caution.

“…Really… Really Mr. Magic King…. The Ultimate Magicians aren’t Earlshydes unique strength?”(Naval)

“What’s wrong? You don’t believe it?”(August)

“…Whether I believe it or not…  With this amount of war potential you could easily conquer the world. As far as fighting power goes this is…”(Naval)

Is Naval alarmed by it?

I trained everyone with the highest priority of devils, so I didn’t think about the balance of fighting power…
