Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

as soon as the situation becomes dangerous」

Though there might be no danger, just in case.

「Yeah, just call my name if you ever encounter some dangerous situation, Shirone.
I’ll come to save you right away」

Reiji asks Shirone to call for him if needed.

Though he can’t use normal transfer magic like me, he can use stalking move magic.
This magic can be used to teleport toward the position of the people that become the magic’s target.

What makes it different from standard transfer magic is the fact that it can only transfer one person and will fail if the target resists it.

Reiji always saves us from danger with this magic.

The exception was when Diehart raided the temple.
It seems that dimension freezing magic was applied to prevent any transfer magic inside the temple during that time; thus, he couldn’t save Shirone.

But, it seems that Reiji will go to save Shirone no matter how far the distance is as long as there’s no dimension freezing magic.

「Yeah, I understand」

Shirone starts smiling after hearing our words.

「He~y, are you done with this topic」

When I look toward the source of that voice, I could see Rino puffing her cheeks.

「If we don’t finish this, our meal will become cool!!」

The already prepared meal is placed on top of the table in front of us.
These dishes are cooked by Sahoko and the Rox Kingdom chef.

「Yeah, it’s the dishes that were painstakingly made by Sahoko-san.
Let’s enjoy it」

Eventually, though Reiji doesn’t make a decision about what we have to do, we felt that things usually played in this manner.

I do a kampai with everyone.

That was the beginning of our small banquet.

◆Rox Kingdom’s knight, Rember

 

「What’s the matter, Almina? 」

When walking alongside with Almina, I feel that her behavior is rather strange since a while ago.

「It’s nothing….
I am just a bit tired」

Almina was accompanying the hero and just relieved from her duty.
So it’s normal for her to feel tired.

That hero-sama might be in the middle of a banquet with his wives right now.

So, it’s natural for Almina to not participate in it.
With respect to that, Almina responded that there’s no way she could fit between such beautiful girls.

Which reminds me that such things are natural since Almina has no place around such level of beauties.
Gallios is worrying too much.

「Ooh, it’s Rember, isn’t it?」

As we are meandering like that, Gallios’ couple approaches us.

「Nee-san, senpai.
Are you guys sightseeing the festival?」

「Who knows.
We just don’t feel like entering our house right now….」

「Eeh, so that’s it.
It’s just a bit, you see….」

Gallios and Peneroa reply with a sly grin on their faces.

What just happened?

「Come to think of it Rember, how about that matter? 」

He is referring to the incident that happened to the temple knights.

This evening, we found five temple knights collapsed in the back alley of the west street.

Since the one who discovered first was a man with wounds on his shin, he told Gallios about this matter, avoiding the palace guard.

After Gallios and that fellow carried those temple knights to doctor Orua living closest to that place, he informed me and the villa of the hero about the incident.

Maybe Gallios is just curious about what happened later.

「No problem.
They were moved to hero-sama’s mansion」

「I see.  But then, I feel uneasy about the one who defeated those temple knights」

Gallios is pondering while touching his chin.

That’s also one of my worries.

The temple knights of Holy Republic Lenaria are said to be the best in the eastern continent.

Each one of them is a master of martial arts.
Moreover, a majority of them are magic users, too.
Even Gallios and I combined won’t be a match against them, that’s just how powerful those temple knights are.

Someone who can beat those temple knights is currently in this kingdom.
So, it’s just natural for us to worry about such things.

「It’s certainly a worrisome matter….
But we can do nothing even if we ponder about it」

「Sure, that’s true」

Gallios laughs heartily on hearing my words.

What can we do against an opponent who can easily dispatch those temple knights?

Moreover, it seems that the one who attacked the temple knights isn’t a dangerous person.

If one were to ask for the reason, it was because all of the attacked temple knights received nothing but minor injuries.
The culprit also didn’t steal anything.

Maybe that person just gave them a little lesson.

And, if the culprit is a dangerous existence like a goblin, they’ll surely aim for the lives of the temple knights.

I’m worried about what that guy will do to me.

We then separated from the couple.

「Let’s go, Almina」

「Yes, Rember」

We continue our stroll.

Nevertheless, I wonder who’s the culprit of this incident.
The reaction of the maid when we carried those guys to the villa of the hero was weighing on my mind.

If I’m not wrong, that maid is called Kaya-sama.
She’s a beauty yet hardly displays any expression; I even wonder whether her beautiful face is just a mask.

The expression of the maid called Kaya changed ever so slightly when she saw the injury on those temple knights.

Could it be that she has a clue about the culprit of this incident?

Even then, I can’t help but worry about such things.
Well, I just want to enjoy my time with Almina right now.

 

◆Black Haired Sage, Chiyuki

 

「Reiji-kun.
You are still drinking liquor!! 」

I lost track of how many times I warned him about this.

Reiji’s drinking his liquor.
Moreover, it’s a distilled liquor.

「It’s okay, Chiyuki.
Oh!! This new product is great, isn’t it?」

「Uhm, it seems it’s to your liking, Rei-kun」

Reiji and Sayoko continue to enjoy their drinks while having such a conversation.

It seems they’re blatantly disregarding my words.

Surely, Sahoko dishes are delicious.

It’s possible to recreate Japanese food as long as one uses the fish sauce made from a fish resembling sardine in this world.

It seems that Sahoko has made Reiji’s favorite dish using that fish sauce.

「Don’t worry, Chiyuki-san.
If it’s Reiji-kun, he’ll be okay no matter how much liquor he drinks」

Shirone is comforting me.

But, I can detect a slight smell of alcohol from her breath.

You’re drunk, too. I wanted to retort to Shirone like that.

But it’s as Shirone says, Reiji’s never drunk no matter how much liquor he takes.
Just like back in our home world.
Frankly speaking, Reiji’s physical power was just too abnormal.

It became beyond abnormal after coming to this world.
It’s already not at the level of a heavy drinker anymore.

In fact, our bodily functions have become abnormal ever since we came to this world.

It seems that we won’t suffer from acute alcohol poisoning no matter how much liquor we drink.
I think the way he drinks right now is his way to get revenge since he still conducts himself properly back in our home world.

Not just in terms of liquor, but also in terms of food.
We won’t gain any fat no matter how much we eat.

A wound will be healed immediately.
Our skin has become glossy; our health’s also top-notch.

We became even more beautiful after coming to this world.

Considering such circumstances, I might just be needlessly anxious about this matter.

The reason why a minor[Miseinen] is forbidden from drinking liquor as it’ll cause harm to their yet-to-mature body.
On the contrary, it’s okay to drink liquor as long as it doesn’t harm your body.

Moreover, there are people who drink liquor at our age in certain countries outside Japan.
