Monster Musume chapter 66: Again to the fortress

Waiting for Yukurishisu´s response for a few days, I was supplementing my talismans in the royal library when Arrack-san came over.

“Ah Tsuchio-kun. You were here as expected” Arrack-san

“Ah, Arrack-san. There still was no communication with Yukurishisu-san yet” Tsuchio

“I came to inform you that Osnyl-san will move to the fortress. If possible, I want Tsuchio-kun to move with him..." Arrack-san

“You are busy with the management of the knight orders” Tsuchio

“Yes, I leave the minimum staff and partic.i.p.ate in this strategy. Because the movement has already begun, we will have the whole force gathered at the fortress until next week. I also heard, that reinforcement will come from the other countries” Arrack-san

“That are wonderful news. Then when will be the depart?” Tsuchio

“Simultaneously with tomorrow's sunrise. Therefore please prepare yourself” Arrack-san

“Understood, will Osnyl-san and the guards move together?” Tsuchio

"It'll be so and with Tsuchio-kun we are three" Arrack-san

"Does Arrack-san stay in the castle town?" Tsuchio

"Yes, the defense of the imperial capital cant be neglected indeed. Although I also want to go to the mountains..." Arrack-san

"Let's handle each role properly" Tsuchio

“Thats so. Well then” Arrack-san

There are 3 weeks remaining of the summer vacations. When I think that we will move to the fortress in a week...I also think if I return to the academy after staying in the fortress for a week.

“Good, all talismans that I use are replenished. Shadow-san, can the number of sheets be confirmed? Good, thats correct. Then shall we think of a new work now?”

Just the earth pillars and the fire-bees are lacking in the deciding factor and only Tsuiraku pa.s.ses as trump card.... The acc.u.mulation is long and the magic use is ridiculously. It is more convenient, if you don't think about talismans with high killing power. Loreen´s talismans are for the support. Traps are strong, but whereever I go, there is no trap. There is no meaning if the enemy doesn’t get caught in it.

“Umm...If I think from a convenient aspect, the use of magic is rather little. I can use the fire bees again and again as long as if they aren't disposed, because that is troublesome. Is there still quality paper?"

Shadow-san takes out a roll paper from her body. Mana gra.s.s seems to be very convenient and is usable as paper for talismans as well as magical power a.n.a.leptic.u.m. It's expensive, but it's a paper which can be used fairly because paper permits good magic and also has its own high endurance. I bought a large amount of it from the money I got on Danze island...but why does Shadow-san have it?

“I still have plenty. Hmm, thank you. Now, should I write them for the time being?"

Shadow-san cut off a suitable size and I take a pen for the draft. When using quality paper, how many times can it be used until it was settled. One problem is the killing power. Because the magical powers may increase to some extent, let's increase the killing power. When it was decided, I will try putting out the plan which was warmed promptly! Ah, but I have a hard time when I make plenty of new ones...the snakes take me several months to make. Shall we improve it from the way of the previous guy did.

I was enthusiastic about manufacturing a new talisman and when I noticed, it was already evening. Ruu laid down while reading a book and Lime was able to read Priscilla´s techniques up to the chapter of development. The practice volume is picked up at time. This book isn't so thick, but she is reading it slowly and carefully....

Originally I came to the capital with some baggage, so my preparation are rearanging the content. I must carry out my latest experiment tomorrow on the way of moving....

And before the sunrise rises on the next day, I go out of the inn and go to the north gate which is our meeting place. I reserved the room for longer, so I might be able to get some money back for the remaining days. Because it can't often be returned if it's an advance payment...I'll also stay in the spotted puppy inn next time.

“Oh, Tsuchio this way. Isn't it bad so early in the morning” Osnyl-san

“No, I´m an early bird. Now, will we go to the fortress?" Tsuchio

"Yes and these are my guards. Good grief, I said that it wasn't necessary” Osnyl-san

“As expected without guard it is dangerous...and we don't know what will happen on this journey” Tsuchio

“Well, is it so.... Good let's leave quickly!” Osnyl-san

Osnyl-san and the others go out of the north gate by horses, while I´m riding Rin. The monsters on the way to the fortress are ignored because we hurry!

Because we ran for a long time on a road, it wasn't necessary to talk. Rin seems happy to be together with me for such a long time, that it can be said that it is forced. It was totally a peaceful journey, while no robbers or devil beasts appeared.

"How is it, did a report come from that young lady?" Osnyl-san

“There wasn't even a slight response.... Well, the knight orders haven't gathered yet, too, so isn't it fine?" Tsuchio

“I guess, that's so.... I asked too much and prepared fairly, but there is a guards problem here so we can't wait for too long" Osnyl-san

"Or rather you were able to move the knight order well. Yukurishisu-sam is a demi human and as a princess she doesn't have any guarantee anywhere" Tsuchio

“...Ah is that so, doesn't Tsuchio know? The magical power of a human is a little different from a demi human in quality. Talented guys know it clearly" Osnyl-san

Heee...so Ruu bunch also noticed. I didn't notice at all.... However from Yukurishisu´s and Ruu bunch´s reaction it probably is a demi human, and from that sentence too, I think. Somehow there is some difference.

"Well, if you don't come near fairly you wouldn't understand that there aren't many guards. Even if you sneak in, it's worthless"

“The B-rank adventurer didn't notice, too..."

"Because this is a sense, it is reasonable if you don't notice. That's why demi-human understood the young lady"

“Then, as for the princess?”

"The northern scouting is already finished to some extent. Only around the fortress. After I checked the map I got from that young lady with an result, I agreed tightly. It's still necessary to be cautious and I can't move the knight orders without information. Even though things may appear this way, an minister has power" Osnyl-san

"The only problem is the organization of the army.... Where do you rely on?" Tsuchio

"Going that far...it can't be checked. Even if the map is good, I check it while advancing" Osnyl-san

“That's right...I trust Yukurishisu-san. However there is also a possibility that she is made to swim by her elder brother" Tsuchio

"This map and organization of the army, perhaps may be a lie after all.... Well, we can't return since we have come here. There are also times where you are deceived which is regrettable" Osnyl-san

"If it's true what Yukurishisu-san said, then the war is surely over" Tsuchio

"On the contrary, we could conclude peace and may have interchange. ...Coexistence of humans and demi-human. Tsuchio, how about tamers” Osnyl-an

“Thats so...there are good and bad people. I think that also applies to demi-humans. If there are people like Yukurishisu-san, then there are also people like her elder brother. Isn't that fine?" Tsuchio

“Is that so...or rather, it is the work of other people considering this one. We only defeat the enemies who are in front” Osnyl-san

“I don't partic.i.p.ate. I have enough of this war” Tsuchio

Coexistence of humans and demons...is suddenly impossible. According to a person who has a grudge toward devil beasts, even a demi human can become a target of that grudge. Well, there is no help for it even if I think according to proverb now, don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

With this and that, Osnyl-sans´s party arrived at the fortress in one week. I carried out my latest experiment during the turns of the watch at midnight. Because I remodeled the existing talisman, I want to verify their effects in actual fighting. The convenience is felt only in actual fighting. A series of battles.

“Then, we are in the center. Because there is a considerably amount of people who enter, there should be plenty of inns. Though there would be no tamer exclusive inn...well, forgive the neighborhood" Osnyl-san

“I understand. If the report comes I go to the central building" Tsuchio

“Ah, you can go in immediately with my name. Well then” Osynl-san

At the entrance of the fortress, I parted from Osnyl-san. By the way, shall I look for an inn again first? Guild...it is troublesome if I can't get any information.I need to hear variously to go to the north later. Let's stay at a place where the horse stable good.

I got a suitable inn and go to the guild afterwards. The map of the fortress was stuck on the request board where adventurer surge for information and I try to see it first of all.

"When you walk from the fortress to the north for a while...a big forest spread there. On the road we used in the past, there is a trace which the demi-human army used. It is relatively easy to pa.s.s through the forest if you go along this way. A plain seems to spread ahead of the forest...how should I say, it is vague"

Just in case, I think that scaling is decided. There will be few people who went to the forest. The knight order will have a more detailed map.

“The monsters that can appear...arent very much”

“The forest is full of trents. Other monsters who live together with the trents...are ducks, monkeys and ghosts”

“Monkeys are everywhere..."

“...” Purupuru

“Basically, everything is fed to Shadow-san. Ah, do you also want to eat some Lime? Okay...then how about fifty-fifty?”

“Koku”

“Shadow-san seem to be fine sharing the defeated monsters with you. The reason which has been troubled with money...and well I can't say so, if I graduate from the academy"

Before I go back to the academy, I want to level up Lime and Shadow-san as much as possible. What do I do when I graduate...I must decide it to some extent. Haa, indeed I did not even think to be troubled in the different world about my future.

I embark from the north gate of the fortress to the northern area. Saying that it is the north, it isn't even so cold. Although it isn't everlasting summer, but the kingdom has a mild climate throughout the year. You can say that it's to the extent I feel a little chilly. I wear basic short-sleeved pants.

"There are no signs of devil beasts at all"

"Well, the number of monsters who approach places with a lot of people is few. Apart from that, the forest has come into view"

The Trent forest located in the north of the fortress feels overall dark and fearful seeing from the farsightedness. If you say Trent, then it normally imitates a tree to attack...how are they detect?

"Ruu, are you confident that you know where the trents are?" Tsuchio

"...Is it impossible? Probably there is no smell...ah, I think I will know it when there is blood thirst” Ruu

“Then fall behind. Lime?" Tsuchio

“...Koku”

“Oh, is it good? Probably with magic perception...then Rin also can go” Tsuchio

“Buruu”

“Shadow-san...do you understand it if you go into the shadow? Well, it's also troublesome to dive and check it one by one, so shall I ask only when you don't understand it?" Tsuchio

The basics won't be any problem for Lime and Rin who have magic perception.

“Then shall we enter the forest? It is morning now and an early lunch was taken for a moment so there is no problem for lunch. It is a quite dark forest and we may be at a loss if it becomes too late. Make sure that you'll be careful and rise rather early. Let's leave the forest before sunset”

“Bururuu”

“Hmm, call out to me if you do not notice"

Good, I was interested in the northern devil beast for some time. I wont be long at the fortress, so I hunt as much as possible.
