E3 Chapter 29

: Departure [3]

[Rudeus POV]

After that, the Lord Holy Beast appeared by my side many times.

That's right, for some reason, by my side.

Of course, after the second time, they started to doubt me.

However, luckily on that day, I participated in the drinking bout of Ruijerd and Gustav.

I wasn't drinking any alcohol, but I enjoyed something similar to walnuts.

In other words, I had an alibi.

Since I'm a magician capable of freezing the entire village with magic, I might have some method of doing it, even from a particular place, but Gustav cleared the doubts.

It wouldn't be interesting to add more false charges to the list.

Since that's the case, I decided to stick to Ruijerd, Gustav, and Eris as much as I could, but I gave up.

I decided to stay near Gyes.

He's the warrior chief. The highest person was responsible for the charge of security.

Claude was still doing his deed in training the Beast warriors, along with Gyes included, but he’d become meeker since his meditation event.

He does more minor damage and more guiding.

Gyes is busy every day, but having him as an alibi is the most efficient method.

"I was under the impression that I was hated by Rudeus-dono."

After sticking with him for a full day, he was bitter.

"You don't really need to pay it any mind. The next time you give birth to a daughter, just give her to me. "

"Do you really want to pledge marriage vows to a daughter of mine?"

"No, it was just a simple joke. Oh, excuse me, did I let out the smell of arousal? "

"Sunsun? There's no such smell."

"I see, then this amount is alright."

After all, unless there's a female nearby, my tomboy won't become a tomcat.

Unless they enter my field of vision, there's nothing to be done, is what it means.

"This is something I've understood over the last month. Master Rudeus is rather mature. Even though you're still young, Master Ruijerd recognizes you as a warrior. "

"What's up with that, suddenly praising me?"

That's kind of disgusting.

Suddenly, flipping one's hand

"In the beginning, I just thought you were some sheetty brat depending on Master Ruijerd and doing whatever you liked."

Ho.

He puts it well.

Well, it's not necessarily a mistake.

"In terms of magic skills, it went way beyond what I imagined. To freeze the entire forest during the rainy season is something I could only imagine in a fairy tale."

"Fuu, my teacher is even more amazing, though."

Then another push here for Roxy for no reason at all.

No matter how much I praise Roxy, it will never be enough praise.

"And more than anything, you hold that much power, yet you didn't seek revenge against our Dedoldia race even after being treated like that."

If you put it like that, then that is the case.

But look, Ruijerd said it as well. I was letting my guard down.

Isn't it okay if both sides reflect on it?

Besides,

"This place is Ghislaine's hometown as well."

"What did Ghislaine say about this village?"

"No, she didn't really say anything in particular."

It didn't seem like Ghyslaine liked the Great Forest very much.

She often made a bitter face when she taught me Beast God’s language.

"Who wouldn't want to get along well with the family of a respected teacher?"

"Is it fine if I apologize once again?"

"I don't really need that prostration at all. Rather than that, please give me the right to lay my hands on Minitona-chan. "

"If Master Rudeus plans to consider my daughter properly and seriously as a partner, I wouldn't particularly mind."

"Eh?!"

Seriously?

Does that mean he'll give me permission to play Nyan Nyan with the cat-eared girl?

Nono.

Right now, we're having a good conversation. You sheetty NEET stay down.

"Of course, I'm joking. Eris would probably get angry as well."

"Just now, a bit of the smell of arousal appeared, though."

"That can't be helped. That would be because of Gyes-san's careless statement. Let it go."

"I see... I'm sorry about that."

Really.

I have a proper promise with Eris, you know.

15 years old.

Another four more years.

If I wait four years, then paradise.

Speaking of promises, I had one with Sylphy as well, but...

I wonder how Sylphy is doing now.

They are most likely doing well.

I hope she’s doing well...

It would be good if she wasn't being bullied over her hair anymore...

I wonder where the place she’s being sent to is, huh?

"And it seems like it's come today as well."

Just as I was lost in thought, the Lord of the Holy Beast suddenly appeared.

"Ku... What in the world are the escorts doing?! "

After seeing that, Gyes started grinding his teeth.

Today, the Lord of the Holy Beast said "Wan" to me in a cheerful voice.

In response to that, I stroked its head.

"Could it be that it's getting out on its own power?"

is what I inquired, but...

"No, there's no mistake that it's through someone's help."

Gyes said, while looking at the Lord Holy Beast with troubled eyes.

Through someone's help.

It's without a doubt something within their own members, but everyone has an alibi.

It's creepy.

"Should Ruijerd and I investigate? We could figure it out pretty quickly with Ruijerd's eye. "

After saying that,

"No, the protection of the Lord Holy Beast is a matter of pride for the Dedoldia race. We can't allow outsiders to interfere.

That is how he turned us down.

"Even though defending the village is fine."

"This and that are different matters."

Defending the village is okay, but investigating the Holy Beast's escape is not.

I couldn't understand the line of thought, but I guess this could be a difference in common sense.

Well, that's fine if they're okay with it.

"If it's managed to escape this many times, it would certainly be worrying. It's fine right now because it's the rainy season, but what if, after the rainy season ends, it could be abducted again? Besides, even in the village, it could be attacked by monsters if the worst case happens. "

"That's probably right."

Gyes started to worry with a hard face.

"Since it seems like the Lord Holy Beast is escaping to come to meet me, what if I go to visit it every day? Won't that solve the problem? "

"That... However... Hmmm."

He's troubled.

After all, it doesn't seem like he wants outsiders to get near the Holy Tree.

I'll draw him in.

"Well then, how about meeting near the Holy Tree and taking it out before it can be taken, then having the escort person follow along? If we do that, there would be no need to worry about someone taking it out. "

"Wouldn't that be getting our priorities backward?"

"I think it seems better than having even a moment where you don't know the location of the Lord Holy Beast, though?"

"...."

Gyes was troubled.

Since he was troubled, that became the case.

"You are troubled by me, but what’s about Claude?"

He suddenly realized that Claude was a kid the same age as his daughter.

Hey, even if he’s weird, you should know that he’s still underage…

"Well, I don’t really understand that. He's different from you; he smells like a beast in human skin... "

"What do you mean by that?"

"He smells like Master Ruijerd."

"Huh?"

"It’s kind of hard to explain. You can just say that it’s within our instinct. Based on our instinct, we can perceive a person as a danger or not. The same as we feel your arousal... "

That’s a weird example.

"Does that mean connected with bloodlust, as Ruijerd always said?"

"Yeah, he looks prepared to murder everyone that disobeys him. He had the stature of a beast king. "

"Hoho... That’s interesting.. "

"well, it’s somehow weird to say it this way. But, I can sense danger. He reeks of danger. "

"Didn't you warrior think you could beat him in a group?"

"No, we can’t."

"What’s made you so sure?"

"We’ve trained with him. It’s more like a beating, to be exact. I can feel his wrath. He might not blame us for the death, but the feeling is there. "

"Of the death?... ah, Somar’s parents..."

Gyes somehow looks downcast.

"Not just that, but the fact that Master Rudeus was on the brink of fainting might be another reason." We wanted to retaliate the second time we had training, but he was just so hard to deal with, Master Claude’s time magic especially. His battle style is something directed towards one against many... "

Ah, it’s his experience in the dungeon.

"in a one-on-one battle, we can’t defeat a saint swordsman. While in a group battle, we can’t defeat a magic swordsman. It’s a hard truth we must face...."

"I see...."

"Even so, after his Enlightenment master, Claude became kinder..."

"Ah, yeah… it’s his usual attitude in the past, so I just see him as normal. "

"I see. It seems that his experience in the dungeon wasn’t something we can imagine. "

To regenerate his wound, he had to think critically about all kinds of events.

Then, always move ahead...

"How can my disciple be stronger than me in some years? It hurts my feelings. "

"ah, right... You’re Claude’s magic mentor, right? Then, your father must be stronger then, Rudeus-dono? "

"Nah, Ghislaine’s stronger than him. I can bet that my father is already weaker than Claude by now. "

---

After that, for a little less than two weeks.

I lived with and played with the Lord of the Holy Beast.

In the end, we never figured out who the criminal was, though Lord Holy Beast has stopped disappearing as well.

Incidentally, the escort person got insanely angry at me when I trained it to offer its paw, though that's a secret.

Meanwhile, Claude continued his guidance and training.

How could he not get sick of training every day?

Even his way of relaxing is still training with the Beast Warriors.

Even Ruijerd was amazed at his zeal.

Well, he is actually getting better. Despite the fact that his goal of creating a weapon as hard as Ruijerd Heirloom remained unfulfilled, he progressed well.

Not to mention his other mastery in magic, even his sword's art is getting better by the day.

He could already beat that saint-ranked smuggler without batting an eyelid before, but now, I guess a glance of his is enough.

I don’t mean that his sword's mastery had already reached the King's rank.

But his way of using magic and his weapons is already something that an ordinary person can beat.

Ruijerd praised him so much that I got my ears bleeding.

---

Three months have passed since various things happened.

The rain has stopped.

…

..

[Claude POV]

Well, I can see that Geese is sneaking around while distracting the Holy Beast’s guard. Well, it’s not like I care about the dog. So I leave it be, and will leave the monkey alone while dealing with the necessary extraction of the material given to me.

While in the dungeon, I had trouble dealing with the smithing.

Luckily, there are plenty of items I can use to craft weapons and fight against the poisonous monster that is always attacking me.

There are numerous ways to defeat them, and in Kuro Sadogashima's memory,I can deduce how to defeat them.

His death was gory, and that brings fear to me. so much that every floor I passed in the dungeon, I could see his memory emerge in my head, bringing a chilling sensation.

I used this time to gather anything I could to mend my broken mind. I’m always troubled by all the memories that are jumbled in my head.

Sometime, I created a diary to arrange the memories. By all means, this power isn’t as overpowered as another main character.

Different from Rudeus, I am late in training my mana. I also don’t have the Laplace factor that can increase my mana capacity and learning ability.

Nonetheless, the memory of non-NEETs was excellent in and of itself, as their understanding of various studies assisted me greatly.

As I continued to think of different types of experiences in this place, I remembered to grade my disciples' works. I continue to write in my journal...

"What kind of shit is this? Do it over" I said, pointing to the unidentifiable craft the bastard dared to let me see.

Oh well, it’s a hassle to teach these beastmen how to craft weapons and do smithing. Even so, it’s not boring since I can evaluate my work and knowledge while teaching them.

Unknowingly, without my realization, the rain season ended.
