Chapter 102
「There, Takumi, pipsqueks, go wild as you please」
「「Really?」」
「Yeah, it’s fine~」
「「Yaay~」」
「No, no, no!」
Wald-sama suddenly said something that fanned the children’s flame .
「Wait, Wald-sama!? W, what are you saying!!」
Wald-sama’s plan, was it perhaps utilizing us?
In Wald-sama’s case, he seriously meant it!
「Hm? This is a way to keep the damage at the minimum and eliminate the monsters most quickly . Look, Takumi, I leave the big shot to you~」
「No, no, no! Knight-sama, do your job please!!」
「Of course, I will go out too . Ah, you can leave the clean-up to me too! Well, Isaac will be the one dealing with the processing though!」
I believe that Wald-sama is extensively serious .
「Is this not an abandonment of one’s duties!? Isaac-san!」
I tried seeking help from Isaac-san .
「Let’s see~ Well, rather than being guards, our duty is to follow Takumi-san who can act freely, so~ Wald-sama telling you to go to the front doesn’t really mean he’s abandoning his duties~」
「I have no allies!?」
Isaac-san also recommended Wald-sama’s approach . When I looked towards Oswald-san and Mars-kun, they were looking at me with sympathy……
「「Onii~chan, let’s go~」」
Allen and Elena have been pulling on my clothes to go since a while ago .
「I understand, I understand~……」
Complaining already won’t change anything at this time . It would be better to clean-up before the damages become large .
「Can you withdraw people away from the group of orcs?」
「Just what do you……」
A broad grin appeared on Wald-sama’s face as he begun negotiating with Valgan-san .
But, Valgan-san was confused .
「You have no choice but to believe me」
「…… I understand」
Valgan-san seemed to make a decision and started giving instructions to the surroundings .
「Allen, Elena, we will reduce their numbers with magic first, okay?」
「「Un!」」
After verifying that the front has moved away, I lowered Allen and Elena from my arms and prepared for the attack .
「Here I go~――《Water Jet》」
「「《Water Jet》」」
With the people out of the way, the three of us fired magic at my signal .
The large amount of discharged water overwhelmed the orcs’ momentum .
「「「「「Wha!!」」」」」
I heard shocked voices from the surroundings .
「Ooh~ they got blown away fancily, didn’t they?」
「What a great power」
「It was incredible the last time I saw it too, but this one was the most incredible~」
The admiration voices of Wald-sama and rest were audible .
「That being the case, we should go soon as well~」
「Let’s do that . It doesn’t seem necessary, but it’s not like we can only watch . Oswald, Mars, we are going」
「「Yes!」」
Wald-sama and rest took out their swords and moved towards the orcs .
「Ah, Allen too~」
「Elena is going too~」
Allen and Elena also broke into a run . I also took out my sword――『Water Katana』from the《Infinite Storage》and ran after them .
「「Torya~」」
Allen and Elena jump kicked an orc with the momentum, used its chest as a stepping stone and jumped up .
「「Yaa~!」」
Then, they attacked the heads of the orcs . Each bringing down an orc with the exact same moves .
「Ha!」
There was an orc who tried to swing down its club at Allen and Elena when they landed, so I cut it down with my katana .
「Next one~?」
「This way~!」
Allen and Elena identified their next prey and ran towards it without a hesitation .
「「There~!」」
「Buhiiii-!」
「Oryaaーーー!」
「Haa~!」
「Buhiii-!」
Not only Allen and Elena, but seeing Wald-sama and rest smoothly defeating the orcs together with the soldiers and adventurers, the orcs’ numbers quickly decreased .
「Bumooooooooーーー!!」
Seeing its comrades being defeated one by one, the Orc General roared .
Glaring at its hateful enemies, the Orc General’s coercion increased .
「Now then……」
Orc General is…… B-rank, right?
Well, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so cautious, but…… I don’t know what it’s capable of when enraged . Defeating it with magic and not allowing it to get close would be a valid strategy .
N~ Should I use fire magic I have not tried using before? But you see~ the Orc General’s hide seems to be quite a good material and I heard that its flesh is also tastier than that of an orc, so it would be wasteful to just burn it .
…… The Orc General doesn’t really look appetizing, but I feel like eating pork fried with ginger for some reason .
「First……――《Wind Arrow》」
「Bumoooooo!」
When I used a wind arrow as a test, the movements of the charging Orc General just slightly quivered . On the contrary, it got enraged even more .
「…… Quite sturdy, isn’t he? Then, next is――《Air Hammer》」
This time, I activated magic to smash the Orc General with air pressure from above .
「Bumoo!?」
The Orc General took a posture of lifting an invisible stone with both of its hands .
「Takumi, you seem to be taking it quite easy」
「「Onii~chan!」」
Just at that moment, Wald-sama and others who defeated the rest of the orcs joined up with me .
Allen and Elena who ran over as well clung to my legs .
「Taking it easy, is not quite right, that fellow is quite a tough one~」
I keep the Orc General under the air pressure so that he couldn’t move, so it’s not like I’m taking it easy .
「Allen will defeat it~」
「Elena will defeat it too~」
Thinking this to be an opportunity to participate, Allen and Elena raised their hands an appealed to me .
「…… Oh well . Shall we bring it down with magic at once?」
「「Yess~!」」
I know the magic power of these two is enormous, so it would be better to bring it down at once rather than uselessly prolonging it .
「Then, are you prepared?」
「「Un!」」
「Well then――《Water Jet》」
「「《Water Jet》」」
「Also, a freebie!《Tornado》」
Invoking magic together with the children, I further mixed the water magic with wind magic .
When the vigorous whirlpool of water reached the Orc General――dokan, it made a loud noise upon impact .
「Bumooo-……」
The directly hit Orc General feebly collapsed to the ground .
「「Defeated~!」」
A lot of people were injured during today’s orc raid, but luckily, there were no casualties . In addition, it ended with no damages to the town . After that, we began cleaning up, but Isaac-san told me first with a very nice smile that the Orc General and several orcs should naturally belong to me, so I immediately stored them into my《Infinite Storage》 .
After storing the orc materials――rather, their corpses in the《Infinite Storage》, I was told by Isaac-san「It’s a nap-time for the children, isn’t it?」next . Well, the day has certainly become pitch dark, so I agreed as it was without a doubt that time .
Then, I was half-forcedly returned to the inn with Oswald-san . Thinking that this is the “clean-up” Wald-sama was talking about, I obediently decided to return to the inn and rest .
Then the next morning when I awoke, Wald-sama and rest were also already back . Well, they went to report to the Alveil’s Feudal Lord after cleaning up, so they seem to have just pulled an all-nighter .
After asking for details, the Feudal Lord apparently hoped to meet us . However, Wald-sama declined that after explaining that we are in the middle of a journey to the royal capital to meet with the King . The King is given the top priority after all . Wald-sama refusing in my stead was an excellent judgment . Rather, I wanted to say「Good job declining!」 .
Well, you know~ the reason the Feudal Lord wanted to meet with us was apparently either an invitation to serve him or get captured by him if unlucky . He must have heard the story from Valgan-san and that’s why he wished to meet us .
Well, there’s no positive proof though .
「Takumi, sorry about this but can we depart in the afternoon? Let me take a nap for a little」
「I don’t mind leaving tomorrow?」
「No, I don’t think there would be further troubles, but I want to depart quickly」
「I understand . We will obediently wait in the room, so please rest up」
「Ou, that would be nice . Your faces are probably well-known by now, so it would be better to not leave that much」
Wald-sama and others we working all night, so it wouldn’t be good to depart right away, so we spent the morning leisurely in our room .
After that, we departed from Alveil in the afternoon, the journey went uneventfully, and we have safely arrived at the royal capital .
