Chapter 148


CHAPTER 148 – THE DEMON SWORD WIELDER’S EXPRESS HOME DELIVERY



The next day .


In the place we’re staying in Malonei, Delfina Merchant Company’s building .


In Delfina’s room, she is working at her desk from the morning .


And I am watching that on a sofa a few distance away .


「What a good woman」


『I’d really like to ask your standard of “a good woman” just for once』


「Women that I would like to make love with, that’s all though?」


『That sounds simple, but that isn’t answering the question though』


「Is that so? It’s just simple」


『I’m asking here alright . How about making it more into words?』


「I am . It’s women that I would like to make love with」


『That doesn’t count as putting it into words』


I could feel Eleanor rolling her eyes inside my head .


「In the first place, what would you do with it if I put it into words?」


『……』


「Eleanor?」


『I-I’m going to guide Hikari to not be like that』


For some reason, the feeling that flows from Eleanor changed into something restless .


What is she being restless for?


「You don’t need to worry about Hikari . She’s my daughter after all」


『Hmph, who’d believe that』


「You’re teasing me, calling me a doting parent but you’re worried about that?」


It’s been a while but I’m feeling troubled . Just a little though .


And when I’m chatting with Eleanor about such senseless things, there was a knock on the door and one woman entered inside .


It’s a young intelligent-looking woman wearing glasses .


Her face features are the same type with Delfina, a beautiful type rather than being described as cute .


「I have something to report, Master」


「Did something happen?」


「Yes……」


After the woman made a small nod, she glanced at me .


It looks like it’s something she can’t speak of with an outsider .


「Do not mind it, speak」


「……yes . A riot is taking place in the town」


「A riot? Suppress it just like as usual」


「Just like as usual?」


「Yes, it’s this」


Delfina made a gesture of grabbing something from her chest .


It’s similar to when I took out that dark thing . I see, riots that is caused by that, it is still happening up until now huh .


「That’s, Master……it is getting more frequent」


「More frequent?」


「It suddenly occurred earlier in the morning . There are 7 cases with just the ones that have already been reported, and there are five places that clearly seems strange although there is no report」


「……」


Delfina narrowed her beautiful eyebrows .


「There’s riots in 12 places?」


「At the least, that is」


She glanced at me and replied .


Delfina who received the report got into deep thought .


「Suppressing them……will take time huh」


「Is that so?」


「We have not expected that this level of riot will occur at once . We’ve prepared a vigilante group that would take the place of Aegina’s officials, but it’s scale is……」


「I see . Delfinaーー」


Delfina raised a hand towards me the instant I called her name .


She faced her palm towards me, and I felt like I was told to shut up .


While retaining that pose, Delfina thought for awhile .


「Request help from the adventurer’s guild . The reward is thrice the normal . Tell them as well that double of that will be paid to the adventurers who can suppress several places today」


「Understood, Master」


The woman made a bow and left the room .


I completely understood Delfina’s intention . Her intention of wanting to take care of it without my help .


『It’s her woman’s pride』


I know .


I answered to Eleanor without saying it out loud .


I thought that I should let Delfina do so if she wants to .


Well, hearing her instructions, I felt like it would be taken care of, although it would take time .


Since that is the case, it might be better if I’m not here .


I stood up from the sofa and told Delfina .


「I remembered something that I need to do, I’ll go back now to my mansion . I’ll come here byーー」


「Master!!」


Pan!!, the door was slammed open .


The woman from earlier rushed into the room with a pale face .


「What happened?」


「A-Aegina . The Aegina army, it’s heading towards here」


「……that’s what’s happening」


Delfina clenched her teeth strong enough that I could hear it from here .



At Malonei’s outskirts, above the town wall .


Coming here with Delfina, I looked far away with my vision multiplied 777 times .


「They’re here . Just roughly, about 2000」


「Is that so……」


「They have a flag too, it’s this mark」


I released my aura and made the mark of the flag that I saw .


「It’s the Prime Minister Prince’s flag」


「I think that I’ve heard about that title」


「Aegina Kingdom’s First Prince, the Prime Minister Prince Kimon Mo Aegina . Kakeru-sama have met him once」


「I see」


I can’t remember his face, and I could only somewhat remember his name, but I remember that Prime Minister Prince title .


「That means, that guy’s leading his army here huh」


「Yes . At the same time……I could see it now . This time’s mastermind」


「Hou?」


「Currently, riots are occurring in Malonei . The cause is that dark thing」


「Yeah」


「At this point right now, it’s scale has exceeded the amount that I can handle, and there is also the possibility that it would continue to expand . And, the following is what’s important」


Delfina let out a sigh .


「Although it’s a town that I bought with money, this town is still nominally Aegina’s . That’s the reason why officials just in name are dispatched here」


「I see」


I understood .


「He wants to send soldiers in the form of riot suppression, but would continue to garrison here even after the riots’ are suppressed」


「Yes . He would not be able to send soldiers if nothing is happening . If he dispatched an army to recapture a town that is nominally under their Kingdom’s rule, they would be a laughingstock of the neighboring kingdoms . However, if a large scale riot has occurred……」


「He’d be able to send soldiers without any worries, huh」


Delfina nodded .


「If that army would be able to enter the town and suppress even one riot, it would be my defeat」


I looked at the dust clouds that the army is making from far away . It’s about 30 minutes before they arrive, huh .


「……please help me」


Delfina gave away .


She probably thought of wanting to do something about it herself, but judging from the situation, there’s nothing good with not asking for my help .


「Leave it to me」


「We will take care of the support, and the aftermath」


「Give me the information where the riots are occurring . You should take care of the aftermath later」


「Eh? But if signs of the riot, and if the people in act remainsーー」


While Delfina is tilting her head, I turned around and looked at the town .


And just in time, a riot is occurring 200 meters away from here .


People who had clearly lost their sanity are fighting against each other .


「Just look」


I opened my Different Dimension Warehouse and took out my Warp Feather . I used that and warped to the place of the riot .


I warped nearby and grasped the details of the situation . There are ten odd men fighting in a melee battle .


Each one of them has lost their sanity and were raising beast-like voices .


Some of them were even bleeding from their fists, but they continued to throw punches without a care .


『Are we doing it?』


I heard Eleanor’s excited voice .


「Your turn is for later」


『Mu?!』


「First……I’ll do this」


I used the Warp Feather again .


I warped taking those guys who are fighting and those who are possessed by that dark thing with me .


The destination is my mansion at Reiusu, at the training grounds in front of the slave soldier’s barracks .


「Your Excellency!」


Nikki was there . It looks like she’s having her self-training .


「How many slave soldiers are around?」


「Sir! Everyone other than the second platoon is here sir!」


「Assemble here . I’ll bring more and more of them . Surround them here, do not let anyone get away」


「Sir yes sir!」


Nikki entered the barracks, and I confirmed the slave soldiers rushing out one next to the other .


I also saw Nana within them .


I got relieved after seeing that and returned to Malonei using the Warp Feather . I returned to where Delfina is .


「Kakeru-sama!」


「Just like that, there wouldn’t be any evidence if I take them to another place right?」


「……yes!」


「And so, I’ll rely on you about the information . Will you make it in time?」


「I will make it in time」


I looked at Delfina nodding clearly and brought her back to the merchant company using the Warp Feather .


She processed the information that her subordinates gathered, and using that, I warped to the said area and warped those possessed people to the training grounds .


When the Aegina army arrived, the possessed people had completely disappeared from Malonei .
