Ore no Ongaeshi: High Spec Murazukuri

We reached the entrance to the East Tree Sea.

Make final preparations and steps to help Bales, the Great Sword of the Empire

"Please respond when the use comes from Loki, Isis"

"Yes, I did. Take care, Master Yamato."

"Oh."

Ask Isis, the girl acting as Orun Taishou, to respond to the troops of Prince Loki, who will come later from Teito.

The Knights of the Empire are not suited for the exorcism of spiritual beasts, but postprocessing is to be left to them.

"Mr. Riesha is with the kids, waiting in this carriage. Something's wrong. I'll call you."

"Yes, leave it to me! Take care, Yamato."

"Oh."

Ask Risha, the granddaughter of the Uld village chief, to direct the wagon carriage.

If there is anything strange about us, let them know with the Han whistle and move ad hoc.

"Leanhardt's brother, be careful!

"You can't pull Brother Yamato's leg!

Lenhardt, a knight who enters the sea of trees with me, is called out by a child in the village.

A serious and inconvenient man, the sword arm was excellent and popular with the children.

Finish your instructions to the rest of us and I'll make a final check of ourselves.

"Is it Leanhardt's gear?"

"I don't know what kind of person the spiritual beast is. Is this okay, Yamato?

"Oh, good job."

I'll definitely check the Knight Leanhardt gear.

Leanhardt has this time disguised himself as an escort mercenary for the Uld Trading Corps.

That's why I didn't bring the Orn Kingsguard's proper gear.

So before leaving Imperial Capital, Leanhardt's weapons had been procured from the Mountain Hole Gaton and his compatriot Imperial Blacksmith.

A set of easy-to-move armor and swords and bows and arrows in the woods.

And it's a special big shield from Gaton, an old blacksmith big enough to catch attention.

"That's amazingly light, Yamato. This big shield."

"It's a special shield designed by me and finished by Jii of Gaton. But don't be overconfident, Lenhardt."

"Oh, I know"

What I gave Leanhardt was a composite grand shield for the anti-spiritual beast.

It's a modern armor principle called composite armor that I designed a few months ago.

A substitute several times stronger than a metal shield in this world.

Now we should be able to withstand the overwhelming attack of the spiritual beast to some extent in theory.

Meets advanced knight shielding skills, this is the gear that Kingsguard Knight Leanhardt deserves.

And speaking of greed, it would have been sufficient if we had the weapons reserved for Leanhardt in Orn's Taishou Mansion.

But this time I left it because I was disguised as a mercenary.

In the meantime, Leanhardt's gear will be fine with this.

"Can Yamato really not be equipped with armor?

Girl Syldria asks me.

I was wondering if that's really okay with me not equipped with any armor or shields.

"Oh. Half-breed (Nahanka) armor on a spiritual beast opponent doesn't make sense. I'd rather have light gear."

The only one of these who has experience fighting with spiritual beasts answers that this is the best.

The spiritual beast is far more aggressive than the ordinary carnivore, and even the knight's metal armor penetrates lightly.

Then throw away all your defenses and use your mobility to fight your own way.

"Lightweight? A lot of weapons for that, huh? Not even the Imperial Army Heavy Warriors are so equipped."

Sildria is surprised with a grin at how I am armed downstairs in the cape for battle.

I was playing with the flow of gear from the last rock salt mine battle.

Equipped with two medium-sized fighting knives as the main weapon, several throwing (very good) knives, two Uld-style and crossbow (crossbow) cloves, modern protective gear, poisonous moth flour eyeballs, hidden under the cape.

And the single-edged sword of Gaton's masterpiece ”on his hips.

In addition to that, this time he also carries a "short spear”, a new weapon, which would still be such as the World Exposition of Weapons.

Abandoning any defense, it conceptualizes a dodge-oriented 'high mobility high firepower'.

"The spiritual beast makes an unexpected move. I've never crossed many weapons. Besides, I'm not a warrior, I'm a regular villager."

"It's still an interesting joke, Yamato. I often say that in its nari and hegemony (aura)"

"I'm sorry, but I don't like jokes."

While having such a conversation with Sildria, I also check her gear for chills.

Sildria, who has pointed out my gear, is not so heavily armed herself.

Light armor and knight sword of the Hizan Empire maiden knight (Valkyrie Knight), plus about a spare weapon.

Pa and Seeing is no different light gear than dressing up for a stroll around the city of Teito.

(Did I just say sharpened blades that saved you any waste...)

Sildria specializes in unstoppable knife extraction.

From there she was speculating that she was a knight in the way of fighting a blow away.

If it were only combat power, it would be Knight Lenhardt, one of the Ten Swords (Ten Swords), and a fierce man who would do double perfection.

But since I was originally asked to come by as a water conductor, I'm not going to let you force me when I encounter a spiritual beast.

"All right, then I'm coming"

Thus the final confirmation of the equipment is completed, and the three of us enter the sea of trees.

◇

The three of us march down the beast path of the deep tree sea.

"Sildria, some danger has to stop. Take the shortest route to the ruins."

"Don't rush, Yamato."

"Oh.“ Time is money. "

I instruct you to speed up the march.

By sundown altogether, there is still time.

But if not sooner, the mortality rate of the isolated Bales investigation team will rise.

("Seventy-two Hour Wall" is the split between rescues...)

There is a "seventy-two hour wall” in common sense (Theory) of disaster rescue.

The longer it goes missing, the less likely it is to survive, and we need to hurry anyway.

That beast-like Great Swordsman Bales will not die easily.

But the members of the fact-finding team accompanying them are ordinary soldiers and scholars.

We needed to eliminate multiple spiritual beasts around the ruins and rescue them in a hurry.

(The curse of the spiritual beast ”or..." Here ”should prevent it in theory...)

Spiritual beasts have a terrible ability to “curse” each other.

But this time, I have prepared the measures as well.

But the measures are also imperfect and there is a limit on the number of people.

So this time it was organized by a handful of elites: the three of them.

There was a chance that too many people would receive the curse of the spiritual beast. "

(Three... No, you're not...)

I was on the beast path, and I stopped.

The leading Sildria and the rear Leanhardt wonder what's going on.

(Phew... no, you're four)

The fourth person who would have decided to be ready...... I perceived the sign and turn my gaze to the shade behind the tree.

"Come on, come out, Rack"

"... no, that's Dana the Yamato... you found out"

In response to my instructions, a self-proclaimed Player Rack appears with a slight voice.

The rack that was waiting for us at the entrance to the Tree Sea came with us at some point.

"Stupid... to this distance... that this concubine (straw) could not be detected!?

The Imperial Maiden Knight (Valkyrie Knight) Sildria is amazed at Rack's covert technique, which she thought was amateur.

It would have been unconscious to her with a keen eye.

"You're the same...... the rack"

Knight Lenhardt is similarly surprised, but this one had become a familiar reaction.

Lenhardt, one of the leading swordsmen on the continent, and his maiden knight of the same level (Valkyrie Knight) Sildria.

Rack, who didn't make those two feel any signs, is still a man who can't get the hang of it.

"I'm sorry, Dana. I really wanted to see the Spiritual Beast, and here he is!

"When we get here, there's no choice."

"Hehe... I appreciate it, Dana the Yamato!

Rack's intonation of the word "spiritual beast” deviates subtly.

Subtle discomfort that only I can feel.

Perhaps the rack has another purpose.

But I don't have a hobby for prying into individuals' hidden ideas.

"All right, let's move on."

With the addition of a Player Rack, we move on to the ruins in the Tree Sea.

◇

Proceed even through the tree sea.

"Yamato... that's the ruin."

Sildria, a road guide, crumbles small as she lurks herself in the shade of a tree.

At the end of the gaze was an artificial building made of stone.

(Is that the “ruin”... called the legacy of the ancient super empire...)

The four of us reached our destination, the ruins of the Tree Sea.
