Volume 2 - CH 40

Chappter 2-40. Sermon

Uchikage and I were back in the room where Raiki and Tenda were having a meeting.

"Tenda, are you okay? Take a bath and heal your tiredness."

"No, but ... we are still discussing."

"I don't mind. I've heard most of what I want to hear. The only thing I'll hear later is about the white snake, Ouren-sama. It doesn't matter if you're not there. Take a break."

"Okay ... then"

That said, Tenda went to the bath in place of us.

Of course Tenda is tired, but Raiki also looks a little tired.

Probably because he is already old.

Even though he doesn't have the power to hold a sword, if I stay at my desk for a day like this, I'm sure I'll be depressed.

"Raiki-sama. Have you decided anything?"

"Yea. Where you are going to live and where you are going to work ... and we talked about the future. Even if it's not decided yet, your determination to avenge your enemies is still unwavering. So I made this arrangement. "

Raiki unfolded the scroll on the desk and showed it to us.

I can't read this letter, but Uchikage seemed quite surprised to see it.

"This scroll is ..."

"Um. It's my decision. You know, but you have to explain it to Ouren-sama. There is a rule in the decision that you must never go against it. It's like a law. It's a scroll that you only use for really important things, that’s why you rarely see it. "

Were you surprised at the scroll and not by what he says?

What the hell is written in there?

"I've mentioned here where you live and work, as I said earlier. It will take a little longer to decide where to work according to your individual abilities. And we will fully cooperate with your revenge. I also wrote that I would do it. "

"What ...!"

Is that good or not ...?

Well, it may be good to cooperate because they are from the same race.

But isn't there any merit for Raiki and others?

"I thought I had to crush the enemy from the root here. It's likely that the same thing is happening in nearby villages and villages other than us. I wonder if someone had to stand. But nothing was done. It doesn't make any sense for us to not fight against it, so let me take advantage of my position. "

Eh, this old man is pretty cool.

But it came out with a very big risk

Perhaps he has some personal feelings, but ... Well, if he leave the onis to such as slave dealers, their pride would be gone.

Perhaps.

"Oh, is that okay?"

"I don't mind. I'm the Raiki who won’t lose to people. But they are good at negotiations. I don't know if the aristocrats of the country will be tricked into sending soldiers. First of all, I have to wash all the internal circumstances."

"... I see. That’s my role huh?"

First of all, if you don't know the enemy, you can't win the battle.

I still don't know much about the people in this world.

If the slaves were exactly what Raiki was saying, they would have no choice but to backfire and curb the expansion of their troops.

So, it is Uchikage that appears there.

He showed me his skills before, but he's a complete pro in assassination and pursuit.

Isn't there anyone who is going with him in covert action?

I don't think we can win with just that.

Raiki may be trying to get such information from Uchikage.

It seems that Uchikage also noticed it immediately.

"But ... which country is ..."

"I don't know. That's where Tenda was trying to get everyone out and didn't see the enemy. That might be fine at that time ... but let’s think about stupid things later. Let's talk about that at the dinner table. "

Raiki puts away the scroll.

It's the first time that he put it in a lacquered box that seems very important.

When he returned to his seat, he looked at me with a strange gaze.

"By the way ... why is Ouren-sama getting bigger?"

You just noticed it now?

"When I was taking a bath, it’s body suddenly got bigger ... But there seems to be no problem. Ouren-sama said so."

"Is that so? Ouren-sama, is meat good for your meal?"

Thanks for asking!

"Then we will prepare good meat."

When Raiki asks me, he rings the little doorbell next to him several times.

Immediately after that, the sliding doors opened and an oni entered the room.

It looks like a young female oni, and looks like a maid.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?"

"Um. It's a meal to be served tonight, but please serve the finest meat to the white snake-sama, Ouren-sama."

"White snake? ... eh!?"

Oh, hello there.

"Easy peasy, no need to be that surprised"

"I'm sorry! I'll get it ready soon, so please wait here. I'll bring it. But according to folklore ... White snakes like to eat mountain products such as nuts and edible wild plants ... … Is it okay with meat? ”

"Yeah. He doesn't mind. When I asked Ouren-sama, he said meat is fine."

"Understood"

When he said that, the maid left the room and closed the sliding doors.

By the way ... I don't know the tradition of the white snake at all ... what is it like?

There was also a story that I heard that I could understand the words and that I helped the onis in crisis.

And even what my kind like is left in the folklore.

What the hell did you do, my predecessor white snake?

But thanks to the predecessor White Snake, I'm getting along with the onis like this.

It's a snake that I don't know at all, but I should be grateful for this.

I wish I could get to know the predecessor white snake even a little ... I wonder if I would be different from the predecessor white snake if I knew about it.

No, I'm sure I’m already out.

However, the reason why it does so well is that the white snake itself is the object of worship.

All the demons love me.

I haven't done anything.

Dadadadadadada!

I hear someone running down the corridor.

The sound is getting louder and louder, which tells us that someone is heading towards this room.

It's probably the princesses.

Supan! The sliding doors opened vigorously with a loud noise.

As expected, the princess stood there.

"Ouern-sama !?"

She seems to be surprised at me who has evolved and become huge.

Until earlier, I was about 5 meters long.

It's no wonder she is surprised.

"Are you okay !? What’s happening here!"

"Calm down Hisui. Ouren-sama just got a little bigger. This wasn't in the tradition."

"Isn't it okay? I'm glad ... and where is Uchikage !?"

In the form of anger, the princess is looking for Uchikage.

It's not good behaviour for a princess, but ...

Or rather, if it was about Uchikage, he would have been right next to me.

Why doesn't she notice him?

Thinking so, when I looked at Uchikage, he completely disappeared.

I wouldn't have noticed it without the haze.

He meditated and posed like praying with only his right hand, but he folded only his index finger and stretched out the other fingers.

Is this the sign of silence in my previous life?

I also want to turn off the sign like that.

Perhaps it's the ability of the [Assassination] ... this is a large gap in our skill.

It may be better to have train the [Assassination] in the sense to running away from the princess in the future.

"Behave yourself"

"But!"

"I don't know what Uchikage did, maybe it’s about Ouren-sama?"

"How did you know?"

"Let me tell you, I had a bad feeling before the white snake-sama went inside this room. I somehow guessed it, but ... I was convinced that you got angry and entered this room. White snake-sama is a male and he also has emotions. I knew this from the time I saw his name, but … Hisui. Did you do something that he didn't like? "

"Uh ..."

Well ... she understands.

Uchikage is also hiding himself, and it's clear that something happened just by looking at their situation.

"It doesn't matter what happened, but he isn’t just for Hisui. If you keep going like that, you won't even be able to keep him near you. If he dislikes Hisui in your behaviour, he may hate Hisui. Since he has emotions, you should treat him with a little more moderation. "

"I understand ..."

"And thanks to Uchikage. He's the only man in your village who doesn't spoil you. If you try to make a mistake, he'll definitely scold you."

Certainly I've never seen Hisui spoiling the princess.

Even when we were camping before, He was talking to the Princess in a straight manner.

"Well, it's time for dinner. Hisui. Can you call Shimu and Tenda?"

"Okay. I'm sorry, Ouren-sama. I'll be careful from now on."

After apologizing to me, the princess left the room and went to call them.

After confirming that the princess had left this room, Uchikage also stopped his meditation.

"Raiki-sama. Thank you."

"Don't worry, but ... you guys are having a hard time. I haven't scolded someone in the last decade."

"I have no words to return. Haha."

Uchikage has a friendly laugh with his hand on his head.

Since I met the onis, I've been watching the princess's selfishness, but Raiki was the first to scold her properly.

Shimu has spoiled her all the time.

When I was about to be taken to the women's bath, she was confused, but she didn't stop her.

I want her mother to do her best.

Then, as I was thinking about it, dinner was brought to me.

The princess called Shimu and Tenda to eat dinner, so I was able to eat immediately.

Shimu and Tender seemed surprised that I was big, but they soon adapted to it.

What was served for dinner was miso soup, sashimi, and large meat, which seemed to be a mixture of Japanese and Western styles.

There seems to be no pure Japanese-style food here.

There is only tofu.

I had three meat steaks piled up.

Insanely thick.

The princess seems to have eaten a decent meal for the first time in a long time, and she is eating steadily.

Her eating speed is still fast.

Everyone else was eating deliciously.

"Hisui. Eat in the right manner."

"Yes"

That said, her eating speed doesn’t change.

She doesn't seem to care too much.

Well, it's best to eat as you like.

A meal time that cares about etiquette is not very enjoyable.

Above all, the amount is small.

The fun meal that I had had such a dull conversation ended soon.

Tenda thought it was still early to go to bed, but they are tired from traveling, so it seems that they will go to bed early tonight.

Uchikage hadn't slept for three days, so he seemed to have a lot of tiredness in his body and fell down the moment he laid down on the futon.

I wish he didn't break the pillow’s corner.

I know that the princess reflected on herself, so I decided to sleep next to her.

However, maybe she could endure the sermon, don’t use me as a pillow.

It would have been nice if she was eager to listen to the others.

Well that's fine.

By the way ...

My level jumped up to 30 with a single meal.

What kind of meat was that?
