I went with Tama using Unit Arrangement and jumped into the place she led me to. "Master... I'm, sorry..." I take Arisa's small hand as she muttered weakly and put my forehead on hers. --Hot. "You're burning." According to AR, it's not influenza, but a cold--looks like she's gotten a common cold. "Geez, why'd you bath under the waterfall until you got a cold..." Lulu who came carrying a rice gruel scolded Arisa. "Yaay, rice gruel with sweet potatoes." Rather than the sweet potato she knows, it's a local product of Seryuu Earldom. "Master, feed me." Arisa is acting spoiled, perhaps the fever got her hard. "Aan, so good. It tastes like Master's love." Arisa's jokes don't stop even while she's coughing. When I reflexively turned my gaze around, I saw the youth troupe a.s.sembled on Arisa's bedside. "Aan." That reminds me, my little sister also demanded for the "Aan" from our mom when I was down with a fever before I went to school. "I'm feeding Arisa right now, so later--" I noticed something halfway through. --Thought so. "Arisa, you didn't take the magic medicine for treating illness did you?" I forgot about it since cold was a common illness in the former world. "Eh? Err, I only had elixirs with me, so I thought it would be too wasteful to use one." Arisa replied me while coughing. "Then how about Mia's water magic?" I turned to Mia, and she shook her head while making an x sign with her arms. "I mean, you know! Mia came back way after I got down with the cold, and I thought I would get better if I just drank water, ate rice gruel and slept--" Arisa faltered in the middle of her excuse. "D-dat's..." Pochi urged Arisa while imitating a veteran detective who pressed someone to confession. "I just wanted to have a nursing play with masteeeeeeeeer" Next to Arisa who shouted with all her soul, Mia who couldn't understand it tilted her head to the side, and Lulu who understood it muttered her little sister's name while blus.h.i.+ng. "Rejected." When I rejected her, Arisa muttered, "And it was the perfect chance to have a nursing play with the too healthy Master too" Yup, Arisa should reflect on it a bit. "Private Pochi." I gave the confirmation to Pochi who took the medicine out of her magic bag. "--Suppository!" Arisa screamed when she saw the thing Pochi took out. "I'd like to refrain from that thank you." Arisa inched back in the bed while Pochi was approaching with an evil look on her face. "at least, I'd like Master to be the one putting it in--" I went out of the room with Mia while hearing Arisa's scream behind us. Zensan and princess Sistina greeted me when I returned to the living room in the solitary island palace. I have to tell the pa.s.sing of her brother of different mother, third prince Sharlick, to princess Sistina, but let's put off that for later. "It appears there was an accident in the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor's hangar, did anyone get hurt?" Zensan who stammered her words awkwardly sent her gaze to the corner of the room. She probably messed up at something again. "Would you tell me what happened?" Princess Sistina begins to narrate what happened. "It all happened when we were visiting the hangar--" Someone stole the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor's pilot suit, the mobile armor, and tried to hijack [General]. The researchers who were about to be crushed under the collapsing scaffold were saved by Lady Karina's intense actions, but since Zensan and princess Sistina seemed like they had forced smiles when they talked about it, I should take it with a grain of salt. "『Bizarre humanoids made of wreckage and steel beams』?" Golems made of rubble that rose up from the wreckage and cloud of dust gathered and beat the researchers to death. "That's weird. I've put the function to create servant golems like the original in the fake, yes, however I've programmed it so that they are forbidden to kill..." Servant golems was a function relevant during the wars, so I had programmed them with Three Laws of Robotics built-in. "Yes, Mito-sama also hypothesized that they might be familiars created by a lesser demon." Looks like the one behind the incident here were demons too. "Now that you mention it, where's Mito?" Then I'll go see how they're doing later. "May I continue?" The rubble golems were dealt with by princess Sistina's golems, while Zensan was dealing with the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor's hijacker. "So it was surprised by Lady Karina and tumbled over?" The hijacker seemed to be a dullard. Well, even if he made a run with the armor, without the [Real Activation Key] I gave to the king, it wouldn't be able to enter flight mode or high-mobility mode, nor could it fire any weapons, he probably would have ended up getting caught by the s.h.i.+ga Eight Swords and Hikaru in the end. "So, did you manage to catch that hijacker?" The hijacker seemed to be the page fired by the first prince back then, who was also a former employee of the third prince. "You two did great." When I praised the two, Lady Karina's mood got even gloomier in the corner of the room. I walk to Lady Karina. "Karinsama." When I called to her, she buried her face into her own breast after a slight reaction. --As expected of demonic b.r.e.a.s.t.s. "Looks like you saved the researchers." Looks like the optimistic Lady Karina is currently in a rare self-loathing phase. "That's not true at all, or are you dissatisfied that you 'only' saved people's life?" Lady Karina raised her face with a startled look. "Moreover, we were only able to recapture the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor without breaking it thanks to Lady Karina's actions." Regardless of who the other party was, the fact is the matter was able to be concluded quickly thanks to her actions. "Satou" Lady Karina is looking up at me with moist eyes. "Mission complete~?" Tama and Pochi appeared from the door. Alright, I'll let Pochi who's close to Lady Karina to take care of her. Lady Karina whose arms were wide open was frozen with a taken aback look on her face, but I left the place while pretending not to notice that. ◇ "Hikaru." I teleported next to Hikaru who was sitting on top of a Royal Castle's spire. Liza is standing with one leg on top of another spire, doing a quiet stance training like a master martial artist. "I found Dynast in the Duchy Capital." Hikaru stood up suddenly with a serious look on her face. "That one is different from General. It's an absurd armor that could fight against a demon lord if it could keep its distance. We've got to think up a plan to--" Hikaru spoke vehemently without listening to me. It got quiet after I smashed its defensive barrier, shot out the magic circuit on its core and drained its mana. "Everything's fine, Hikaru." Hikaru froze still with a serious look and then she quickly sighed in relief. "I'm so glad. I expected nothing less from Ichirou-nii." I stayed here for a while, and then went back to the Duchy capital alone. When I got to Tenion Temple entranceway, the former head miko, currently miko apprentice Lily was waiting for me. --Oh? A blue dot on my Radar is coming here from the Duchy Castle area. Since she's with white dots, maybe they're going around to see the Duchy capital's state? "They look to be quite in a hurry." A group of cavalry knights who rushed in like they were jousting stopped at the entrance of Tenion Temple. "The miko over there! Call the temple head and Sersama!" One of the knights haughtily gave an order to miko apprentice Lily. "Yes." Miko apprentice Lily obediently run into the temple to call the two. Behind him, Lady Ringrande who didn't look well was helped by the other knights to get down from the horse. "Ringrande-sama?" Lady Ringrande is in critical condition for some reason. "Are you alright?" I receive Lady Ringrande from the knights who looked dissatisfied and head to Sera's resting room. "Did something happen?" I saw Ringrande's gaze turned toward her left ring finger for an instant. It seems to be a type of [Cursed Ring] according to AR reading. "Ringrande-sama, Sersama is currently resting inside this room." I could only hear a very faint sound from Lady Ringrande, probably because her health had been exhausted. I close the door with a thud. The sleeping Sera is the only one in this room, so let's do this. "--Fracture." I touched Lady Ringrande's cursed ring and then it crumbled away like a rusted ring. The health reduction has stopped after the ring is destroyed, but she's been terribly weakened already. "Ringrande-sama, please drink this." I push an elixir bottle on her mouth, but she's already lost consciousness and can't drink it. I put the elixir in my mouth and make Lady Ringrande drink it mouth-to-mouth. The AR reading indicates that Lady Ringrande's health gauge has been safely refilled. "...Satou-san?" I heard a half-asleep voice of Sera from the bed. "--Ane-sama!" I used [Magic Hand] to catch Sera who tried to get up from the bed and almost fell from her anemia. "Ane-sama is always like that. She always goes straight forward with only the goal in mind....." Sera is brus.h.i.+ng Lady Ringrande's hair who's still unconscious. "I was able to converse with G.o.d Tenion thanks to Sersan. I'll tell you the details along with the other girls once we get back to the Solitary Island Palace." I told Sera what needs to be told while Lady Ringrande was still unconscious. "We will leave the duchy capital tomorrow morning. You should get some rest in Tenion Temple today." Since I won't have anything to do tonight, let's go to Ga Bou's place and have some drink there. "--Satou-san." Sera beckons me as I stand up. "Please do the mouth-to-mouth to me too when I'm injured okay." Surprised, I look at Sera's face and she looks back at me like a child who's succeeded in her prank. It was really scary since her eyes weren't laughing. ※ Next update is scheduled for 9/24
16-14. End of the a.s.sailants (2)
Satou here. There's this saying, "The mountains have brought forth a mouse", but I think it's better than them bringing forth a major volcanic eruption. I mean, going on a pleasure trip in peaceful times is more fun.
◇
"Arisa!"
"Pull yourself together."
"I'm sowwy."
I see, I get the reason Arisa caught the cold.
Well, I guess I can at least spoil her when she's down with a cold.
It makes me worry that she's getting delirious from her fever.
"Aan, nanodesu."
"Tama too~?"
I look around the room.
With the magic medicines and magic available in this world, it can be cured in an instant.
The coughing timing somewhat feels suspicious.
"Was refused."
"Even the brownies in this room could use magic to heal a simple cold right?"
"Ugwuu."
Why would she go to sleep while still afflicted with the cold anyway?
"It will be easier if you just confess nodesu."
"Play?"
"Arisa..."
"Aye!"
"Administer the household medicine used in the orphanages to private Arisa."
"Yes nanodesu. This one nodesu?"
"Yes, that one."
"It's okay nanodesu. It won't hurt nodesu."
"No no, it's not about whether it hurts or not."
"Don't worry nodesu. Pochi is a suppository pro nanodesu."
"You'll break a maiden's heart!"
"Arisa, you shouldn't act spoiled nanodesu."
"Uoo, I can't teleport? Master sealing teleportation is--"
I'll let Lulu handle the rest.
◇
"Satou-san!"
"Satou, welcome back."
It felt like she was indifferent toward the third prince after all.
"N-no. We aren't hurt anywhere. But, err--"
There's Lady Karina who turns her face away while looking small there.
"Yes, allow me."
The fairly successful hijacker who boarded the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor, swung the already booted-up armor's arm, and destroyed the scaffold and supporting frames around it, causing panic in the hangar.
Her saving them is probably true, but she must have messed up at something.
The root is probably the same as the one from Duchy Capital.
"She said that something else might happen there, so she's on stand by along with Lizsan in the capital."
"Yes, if you please."
As Zensan was chanting advanced magic after her lower cla.s.s ones proved ineffective, apparently, that was when Lady Karina blew away the steel frames and re-joined the frontline.
"Yes, my golems dragged out the mobile armor and Zensan arrested the man who tried to run away."
Well, they were probably trying to cause something in the capital while that man created a diversion as a throwaway piece.
Hikaru is probably staying with Liza in the capital because she came to the same conclusion.
Apparently, she feels bad for being the only one who did nothing great.
"....Satou"
"That's all I did desuwa..."
Her reaction resembled Pochi somehow.
She looks like a girl in love, so I'm not sure how to react here.
"Suppository complete nanodesu."
Arisa's punishment--administering is done it seems.
I beckoned Pochi and entrusted her care to her.
"Ichirou-nii."
From what I gather on the Map, I don't see anyone like demons, or reincarnated people nor unknown high level people.
The sage mice, Chuu Fat and his colony hasn't reported any abnormality either.
"You did?"
Fighting it at close proximity was probably a wise decision.
"Un, I believe in Ichirou-nii. But, Dynast's 『d.a.m.nation Cannon』 is--"
"I've neutralized and retrieved it with me here."
"--Eh?"
"Let's contact Yuika, and then offer him a proper burial like with General on the right day."
"Un, please."
I can tell my conversation with G.o.d Tenion to everyone once Arisa is cured from her cold.
◇
"Satou-san, is it over?"
"Yes, without problem."
Ga Hou the orc has returned to his base through the sewer, so this one's probably Lady Ringrande.
"--Yes."
The horses that have stopped upright look quite imposing.
"SSatou."
But she seemed fine when she was chasing the Holy Sh.e.l.l Mobile Armor [Dynast] earlier, wonder what happened?
"I'm running out of time. Take me to Sera."
"I understand."
She's in [State: Weakened (Serious)] according to AR reading, her health gauge has almost run out.
"Yep, I used a little something I shouldn't have used."
Apparently, it's an artifact from a dungeon that will continue to convert your life force into mana even after it's full.
According to the detailed info on it, recovery magic and health recovery magic potion won't work while it's in effect.
The other knights were going to come too, but I kept them away by telling them that I couldn't let Sera, an unmarried woman, in her nightdress be exposed.
This saves time from dealing with a cursed item, no complain please.
It's just a treatment and the impregnable fortress pairs shouting [Guilty] aren't looking, so this should be fine.
Since it didn't look like she saw me giving the mouth-to-mouth, I told her about the attack on Duchy Capital, and how Lady Ringrande used a cursed item to avert the crisis, resulting in her critical state.
Even though she sounded like she couldn't believe her, it seems like she doesn't truly hate her.
"Yes, I'm glad to be of service."
"Yes."
That's a rare gesture from Sera.
The journey to the western part of the continent will begin next time.
