Heein!
I was fighting the Great Monkey with sword while letting Kokuoumaru escape.
This horse only had fighting power of 794 after all.
Guooooo …
However, the Great Monkey would rather try to follow the horse.
Why!
I was so irritated that I jumped to block the path of Great Monkey.
“Kokuoumaru !!”
But at that time.
Kan!!
The monkey’s mouth glowed, it suddenly released a mass of magical energy.
Avoid…tsu … I couldn’t. If I avoided it, it would hit Kokuoumaru.
Boku!! ……
With that in mind, the Great Monkey’s magical energy cannon hit my left shoulder.
“Ugh! …”
Pain spread from my left shoulder.
Shit…….
I’m weak.
I was a little depressed.
If it was Cross who was here, he would do it better than me.
No.
There was no one from that hero party that could damage this Great Monkey now because they were not here.
“… Kiradon”
I sighed and casted an intermediate fire magic spell against the beginner monster.
The Great Monkey must had never seen intermediate magic before.
The monkey received a direct hit.
Guooooo …
Great Monkey was writhing while being burned.
However, its skin was tough because it was a boss monster though it was just beginner level.
I was still standing.
To stop this monster, its weak point — I swung my sword to its eyebrows.
Pishi!! ……
“Sorry about this.”
When I muttered so, the Great Monkey became a mass of magical power that was shining then scattered in the sky.
◇
By the time I defeated the Great Monkey, all the Medium Monkeys had been defeated.
The “bonus” of defeating bosses was on me (and I didn’t receive the effect of [Complete Blessing] on my own), but the 75 people got experience from Medium Monkey.
Also, the experience value of the Medium Monkey was higher than the experience value of the monsters west of my territory and it became stupidly high because it was doubled by my [Complete Blessing].
Chiyo, the martial artist girl, had reached fighting power of 1568, and the others fighting power was starting to surpassed 1,000, one after another, mainly the first 25 selected people.
And about magic that many of my army just learned today.
First, many attack mage who had not learned magic now finally learned [Kira] and [Yord] in this battle.
Also, one of the support mage learned the increase all people attack support magic [Cheer].
In addition, from this battle, I learned the potential of shooter.
The shooters were the uncle that was used to hunting in the mountain and the girl who had a suitable job of Female Diver.
Both of them used a bow this time, and the uncle sometimes used a one-shot gun like a musket.
Although the firepower of shooter wasn’t that high, their support fire greatly eased the vanguard swordsmen.
And bows and guns had a longer range than any magical attack that could be learned by attack mage right now.
“About the ship ssu.”
On the way back home, Garcia said something.
“It was decided that they will prepare three ships that can carry 50 people. They will also dispatch the crew for the ship for the time being.”
“Good! Well done!”
“But … we can’t get the ships right away ssu. It will be in a few months at the earliest ssu.”
“They also have their business … well, that’s fine for me. After summer is over, we are preparing for harvest. Either way, expedition is impossible for a while. There is a lot to do in the territory, not just fighting. ”“Right ssu.”
Right.
There was a lot to do.
At that time, more than I thought …
◇
When we returned to my territory, there were two changes.
One of it was that my house was finally completed!
“Oh! It’s amazing!”
“Hehehe, thank you.”
When I praised the house, the carpenter master scratched his head.
Nevertheless, the main building had many things uncommon to me
This was because it was built with the Far East architectural style where you needed to take off your shoes before entering.
The castle of Okuga was also like this and I thought that it would take some time to got used to it.
Well, I couldn’t do anything about that.
It was an unusual lifestyle for me.
So, in the main building of my house had carpets, table and chair, and also a bed in my bedroom……all of that were arranged the same as the room I had when I was still a child.
So, I explained it in detail.
The carpenter master responded brilliantly to such a difficult order.
The ceiling was high, it was two stories high, and there was an atrium space at the entrance.
I still didn’t have enough furniture, but if I put a chandelier, set up a table, and also tableware, it would look like a lord house.
The furniture bought at Marine Label were finally useful.
In addition, I was able to make a bath and shower from the river water, so I could even enjoy the ocean view while immersing in the hot water.
However……
“Isn’t it a bit too wide?”
“Of course not.”
Igarashi-san said so.
Even though it was so wide, there were only me, Garcia, and Igarashi-san in this house.
Yup.
I wanted to increase the number of people living here.
Another change was inside Igarashi-san’s home.
Fusa …
Why was Isao-san’s hair so dense!
(Well, only the hair on the back of his hair.)
This was evidence that the experience gained in the battle with Great Monkey had been properly transferred to Isao-san with the training skill [Receiver].
“Lord-sama, I just noticed it recently, but …”
Was it because of his hair that he could relax?
“This power … could be used to crossing crop seeds.”
Finally, he noticed it.
Yare yare.
◇
The training skill [Receiver] mark was used to Isao-san, Garcia, who was only temporary, and Yoshioka Shohei.
I took Shohei to the north side of “West of the territory” to “Mother Mountain”.
That was because I was worried about the [hole] that I saw with granny the other day.
I thought if I use Yoshioka Shohei’s ability [Chin], he would be able to knew something about that hole.(TN: anyone knows what this is 地鎮(じちん))
However……
“I don’t know what this hole is even with my ability.”
He said that.
“What if we dig it?”
“There is a risk of collapse. You dig it on the premise that it will collapse, but if the purpose of this hole is to excavate archeological sites or fossils, then maybe we should try.”
It was unclear what this [hole] was.
However, the transfer of the experience value from the battle with Great Monkey had made Yoshioka’s ability seemed to be improving.
“Bu, but Lord-sama … let’s get out of here as fast as we can.”
His suitable job was [Psychic].
“Could it be … There is …?”
“…… Yes”
A deep blue face.
I didn’t know anything at all about something like that, but I’m getting scared looking at Shohei’s complexion, riding Kokuoumaru, we went back.
Pakara! Pakara! Pakara! ……
Then, after parting with Shohei, I went back to my house where Igarashi-san was waiting at the entrance.
“What happened?”
“… There is a visitor”
“People from this territory?”
“No, a stranger.”
I hurriedly went inside after she said so.
Dotadotadota …
As soon as I went inside, I saw the back of a person with blonde, bob hair.
That person was not from Far East …?
“Excuse me. Sorry to make you wait.”
I called out from behind while thinking like that.
“E … waa !!”
Then, the visitor turned around and rushed to me.
“Aiga Janies? The real one?”
Was it because of summer?
Somehow she was a woman with a calm feeling.
Her blue eyes were glittering.
“Ha … have we meet somewhere before?”
“No! It’s the first time we meet!”
“Right.”
“But I’ve known you for a long time! The sixth person of Five Miracles, Aiga Janies-san right! ”
“Th, that’s right.”
“And you become the lord of this territory.”
“Yes”
“Fufufu. Then you start to train the people here to exterminating the monster west of your territory. Not long ago, you defeat Great Monkey, right?”
“Exactly like that …why do you know so much about me? ”
“Ah!……”
After speaking like a machine, she suddenly put her hand on her mouth and paused.
That’s a cheerful person.
“I’m sorry for my late introduction.”
So she gave me a business card.
I took it and read it.
