Chapter 162
Side: Yuki
For the time being, the princess of the wind is stupefied, so there is a problem even before negotiations.
While we waited for everything to normalize, we went to the opportunist elder to talk, but
Well done!! I believed in you!!
Talking big to someone who didnt send reinforcements, huh?
Next to the elder, the man who was always criticizing us said something in a good tone so I silenced him with a sarcastic remark.
Im sorry. As a village, weve been playing it safe
The elder bowed his head deeply.
No, I dont think you guys made the wrong choice. Its just that when you get hand-waved back as he did earlier, it feels, you know how, right?
I guess
Now you know what were capable of, dont you? For the time being, any prisoners we get on this matter are ours to deal with. I wont take your opinion, and thats what Im going to do.
What did just say!?
Haa Do whatever you want, being hostile or not. If you want to get in our way, I wont be going easy. Regardless of the outcome of the joint operation, the results this time were obtained by us alone. Naturally, we get to manage the prisoners and supplies we have at our disposal, dont we?
Its reasonable-jana. After all, we were waiting and seeing the result and we did not send reinforcements at all. I wont let him take the spoils from you all. So please, forgive this man for his tyranny
Its okay since theres no real harm done. Well, if you try to get your hands in our spoils in any way, Ill take care of it myself, okay?
It would be nice if you could inform me if something were to happen. After all, you dont want to offend the village, do you?
There would be no need for such a thing unless you go too far. Try hard not making it easy for us to destroy this village
If you ask me if I want to risk my life to protect the village, I say no.
Because the purpose of our defense system is simply to protect the ruins and dungeons.
They would be no different from an enemy if they were to bring us harm.
It seems that for you all were just an extra bonus-jana
What, you just figured that out? You thought we were just a convenient mercenary group? After all, you didnt even send reinforcements in that battle, and you were already prepared to flee when the opportunity arose
I cant do anything if Im told that
Elder! Why are you letting them do as they please!!
One young man barks.
What the hell is he saying? You people were the first to do as you pleased.
Calm down. We were the first to tie these mercenaries to our people-ja. No matter how you think about it, we were the ones who did as we pleased, after all-ja
But!!
But, whats your plan? Do you plan of fighting against this group of mercenaries? An opponent who defeated 2500 soldiers with only 150?
That was only because we were there together with our people!! Its not the fruits of that person from the human race!!
Haa, I havent received any report about three beast folk having eliminated 2500 enemy troops. One hundred goblins crushed the charging cavalry. And 50 or so ambush troops that were on the flank has annihilated the enemys main force
Thats an exaggeration, of course! Im sure everything its because of those girls and that that man from the human race has nothing to do with it
An exaggerating, you say? Could my fellow villagers who took the trouble of monitoring them report such a thing-nou?
Aah, I had intended to arrange it so that it wouldnt be like this, but this kind of problem comes up after all.
So, even if it was an exaggeration, and even if these three beast folk girls were able to pull it off, it wouldnt change the battle results of the mercenary group. Are you going to take that away from them?
Im not. In the first place, those girls were forcibly taken over by that man of the human race..
*Boom!!*
The cat-eared beast folk youth who had been complaining broke through the wall and flew out.
No, Riel was the one who threw him outside, but the people in the village only saw this young man flying out.
Shall we shut up now? I think Im starting to regret a little bit saving you
Seeing Riel lowering her fist, the villagers seemed to figure out that Riel had done something about the young man flying out.
Im the same. For the sake of the people of the same race as me, I helped them by ignoring your instructions, and this is the result
Yuki, theres no need to negotiate. From the beginning, we should have them follow us, or make them go away if they didnt. These guys are completely making fun of us
Tori, too, states an unusually strict opinion and looks at the villagers as if they were trash.
As for Kaya, she is very angry with the way the village is handling the situation, saying that we should bring fear to the negotiations.
In short. Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii, these three girls snapped.
Rather, mocking Yuki-san is out of the question. You mock a womans husband and then ask him to give you more of his spoils of battle? Youre an idiot!!
Its exactly like Riel said. Yuki-san is still laughing, so I wont do anything about it, but in the unlikely event that you even try to step in Yuki-sans shadow, be prepared.
Tori is also soft. Ill kill you all in that case. Or rather, its more difficult to defeat Yuki than to defeat us
Ah, the problem here is how Im treated impolitely rather than the result of the war, huh?
Im glad Asurin and the others arent here.
Just because I was ridiculed, they acted recklessly in the Litea war. It shouldnt be strange for the situation to become a bloodbath by now.
Ria, its okay
Eh, can I kill them?
Its not that!!
Ah, its hopeless. It seems that even the blood got into Rias head.
I shouldnt say what happened to the pregnant group. Or this village will disappear.
Well, it seems that we lacked a little of manners and lost our composure. Lets pull out of here for now. We dont want to have to pluck the life weve deliberately saved ourselves. Please discuss carefully here
Saying so I left the meeting place.
Well, their only options are to run away or obey.
After all, Riel, Tori, and Kaya proclaimed that they should be eliminated.
It would be a big explosion if after all this I say, lets have equal relationships, right? Of course, Im talking about my wives.
However, Im sure the bloodthirsty demi-human who has a lot of grudge against the human race would have that kind of reaction.
I know how you feel, but if you make that choice, youre going to die, okay?
The elder has it tough being the one who has to persuade the others~. As expected, its good to have a job where you can take it easy, isnt it?
Oh, Yuki-san, welcome back. Marley-san has finally cooled down
Upon returning, Shera reported immediately,
Shera has been doing more as royalty than I, so she is the most charismatic in terms of field command, among the expedition members,
Its not like I cant do it, but I have the policy of not using as much as possible such convenient tools, besides, Sheras familiarity with them is better than mine.
I see. Then, Ill try going there
Yes, please. We have frightened them. If Yuki-san and Ria who are acquaintances are going to see them, then maybe they will talk
Are they scared?
Yes. Its because they were annihilated by less than a tenth of their troops, and Marley seems to have fought directly with Steve, so she felt the difference in power
Its not like I dont understand it, but is it okay for a general to be like that?
I dont know very well, but I guess it cant be helped. From the soldiers, weve been treating until now, and Yuki-sans information gathering, Marley-san seemed to be unbeatable so far. I guess her foundation was destroyed in a matter of seconds
It should be the effect of relying on the magic sword to raise her level.
Im sure youve had your fair share of competition with a little strong people in the past, but were literally out of your league.
I should try meeting them I suppose. Ria, Im swapping with Doppel, who met the princess, but want to go first?
I think so. Were both women, so Ill go ahead and have a chat with them. Instead, Shera-san, Ill ask you to escort Yuki-san
Please leave it to me
Eh its not too much a bodyguard?
No, it isnt
I wonder how much they care about me?
There are times when I want to be alone, but then I remember that there are times when I can relax at home alone.
If I take one step outside, Ria will follow me, Im sure I can get rid of her, but later I will be scolded in a big way.
I should swap with Doppel now, or rather, I should switch from Doppel to Doppel
It has become complicated. In the new continent, theres a Doppel who looks exactly like me and a Doppel in disguise.
Lets go to Rias place instead of thinking about stupid things.
If I let Shera be my escort, then the rest of the department would stop.
Hi. Ria, how its going on?
Oh, Yuki-san
Aah!! You were the commander of this mercenary group!! Or rather, how you got here faster than us!!
Ria easily catches the princess who throws herself onto me.
Guuu
Marley-san, you are a prisoner. Please stop behaving that way towards our leader. Next time your neck and torso will be separated, okay?
Nugugu
Fumu, they look fine to me.
The village should be done with their talk, so I wonder if we can finally move forward with negotiations?
Now, what shall we negotiate~?
