Chapter 17 (1/2)
Chapter 17 – Let’s Gather Volunteer Soldiers!
“Takeru-dono, in the end… in the end it looks like the exterht?”
Finally, returning back froreet the Earl, Donovan However, what awaited me was this question
I don’t knohat kind of fast horse your er used to come back here from the royal capital, but, the tension-filled scenes are over, my dear Earl
Also, I don’t need you to strike a pose, like fir ‘Yosh!+’, you see
“Well, for the ti away that hole, but…”
To be honest, I have gradually become anxious on my way here from the royal capital
It’s true we’ve got both guns and cannons in our possession, however, what should we do if soon was to appear?
As I thought, not being able to forecast the future, is a scary thing
“Nothing less expected from the lordly Sir Takeru, ould put his heroic deeds before all else, and not get worked up at all!”
“Haha…”
Making a great face, what’s this Earl spouting off?
Such a description doesn’t suitwill come of it
Rather, it would be better if you gave me some coffee
I won’t be going to battle soon, so let’s hold a business talk
“As soon as I heard about Takeru-dono taking part in the extermination, I too resolved myself!”
“Eh?”
What…? Could it be, he’s declaring his willingness to fight alongside me?
Treating a person of doubtful origin like me, as utterly bad hi his maids in red aprons, could it be that the Earl, who had been doing nothing but fooling around…, finally took matters into his own hands?
“I shall issue an official notice to the entire territory of Est!”
“Oo, ohh…”
This Earl has beco and kill a dragon
“Sir Takeru, ht of the Alation troops of Est, you shall gather military volunteerssss!”
“Ehhhhhhhhhh?!”
What’s, that? Even though I thought the Earl had finally decided to lead the are instead?!
Just what kind of resolution did you make?
“Takeru-dono, could it be I said so?”
“Ah no, it looks like Earl-sama is placed in a difficult situation”
Not being carried away by the Earl’s talk, I made a wry s above his head
Being told to gather volunteer soldiers, on top of that, using reatest ‘resolution’
Well, I guess he’s that kind of person
Isn’t it fine to be peaceful in nature? In comparison with those rotten folks froather war potential is hundred times better
“Of course, I’ll cover the cost of recruitolden coins!”
“Ohhhh, I truly appreciate that”
I forced ain, it felt like I was running out of money
Unlike that stingy Prilad to have the Earl pay me in advance
The generous Earlme become happy
“In addition to soldiers, you’ll also need goods, such as uniforms and provision, so leave those to me!”
“Earl-sahness, I’m truly thankful!”
I honestly felt sorry forhim a little bit inside my heart before
However, in this world, only those with oods are the most revered ones
“Not just that, I’ll also take care of backing up your troops, so Takeru-dono, without any reserve, please knock down those evil hordes of monsters near the hole Cut them into pieces, seize them, shly with lots of noise and—“
“……”
For some reason, the Earl was heated up in his own excitement, so I decided to leave him alone
I’ht not understand, but, it looks like subjugating a miasmatic mana hole is a job that makes one’s heart race
The territory of Est isevents
“…Haha, if there’s anything I can do, feel free to as–“
“Then, Earl-sama, I’d like to have some coffee”
The hole won’t go anywhere, so before Iit down, let’s have a breather for a moment, my dear Earl
That’s because I’ll hear you repeating yourself on how to beat up those monsters if I continue to listen
Once I deemed my business with the Earl had concluded, I returned back to the trading coathered all its
Lyle-sensei, Louise, and all 26 slave girls were present For soers from the self-defense unit, whom I hadn’t invited
Wait a moment
Are those people behind the you here!
‘What’s going on, what’s going on?’ – With this kickoff party attitude and the fuss caused till the outside of the shop by the these questions
To irls carried iterow
Ah, could it be that Colette is selling baked Crêpes? I wonder if she wants to open a food cart I guess, it would be nice if her sale succeeded
…H-Hey, this isn’t the right time for that
Even though I planned to hold an explanatorywith the staff members, why did it turn into such a commotion?
Isn’t it because I lost the control of the situation?
That’s right, I guess it can’t be helped for the folks fro to beco an ar the hole
“Lord-saside you!”
Apparently, being the son of Ona’s tribal chief, the man, who assuroup, was an easily elated person with his loud voice being his only outstanding feature (Was his name Mars, or so?) The man as apparently the son of Ona’s tribal chief shouted sorandiose words at me and crouched down
It’s nice you’re eager to helpa leather ar a lance, you look no different from a boorish onii-chan
The rest of the villagers followed Mars’s example and crouched down in an unrefinedout together in front of one’s shop? Don’t force yourself if you don’t know the right etiquette of soldiers
Honestly, I’ve gone through the trouble of giving you the arquebuses, so at least bring the times like these
I guess, I’ll need to teach the
“Well, I’ll be placing my hope in you, so do your best, okay?”
“Y-Yes! Lord-sama!”
My spoken words were enough to round and ko
Despite theuess they will quickly revert back to being villagers
I’ve long since given up on telling the villagers I was a Governor, rather than a Lord
They probably wouldn’t understand the difference anyway
The self-defense unit froe, so it would be troublesome if I had them over-enthusiastic
I’d rather have the their best
“We, the slave girl uard, will too, risk our lives to protect Master-sama”
At Sharon’s order, all 26 slave girls gathered together and for in the Silesian-style (ie kneeling down on one knee, putting up their arquebuses, and kissing their barrels)
‘Just who had taught you such etiquette?’ – I glanced around with this question and saw Louise and Lyle-sensei s
“Is that so? Thank you However, referring to yourselves as eration, you see”
“But, isn’t it Master-sama who told us we’re musketeers?”
“Ahh, that’s right I guess, I said so like this before”
Looks like I boasted uns
I better not inspire Sharon eird ideas
“Also, Louise-sama told us we’re the closest to Master-sa, therefore, we are Master-sairl musketeers”
“Is there any need to add that ‘slave girls’ at the beginning?”
“””We are Master-sairl musketeers! Thank you very much!”””
All the athered their voice and said this at once, as if trying to imply ‘Don’t complain!’
Slave girls, slave girls, for soirls to me if you say it repeatedly
I do wish to create uess it won’t happen, right Sensei?
Well, I guess it can’t be helped forSensei with this stupid idea
“More importantly, do your best so as not to cooods”
“Please leave it to us, as we’ll create shi+fts with no gaps”
I see, they knohat shi+fts are Speaking of which, was there a concept of shi+fts in this period?
Good job on doing your part as a work leader, Sharon
“Well, I don’t want to get you too much involved in battles, so I’d rather have you stay in this shop”
“We’ll be changing our shi+fts with other members, so we can definitely protect Master-sama at all times!”
You’re fully motivated, aren’t you, Sharon?
It’s good to see that, however, I’d like you to listen to me till the end
“…And so, the explanatorywas held for that purpose Does anyone still have any objections for e shouldn’t advance toward the miasmatic mana hole?”
I intended to ask for opinions from each of them, after I made a proper explanation
Even if all the irls, it’s not like I want to be dishonest towards them
“Whatever Master-sans me to, I will neither object nor complain!”
“It feels reversely scary when you say it that way”
If you’re , please make a proper complaint
After all, I’h schooler
Despite there being lots of children in this company, it’s harsh for me to take care of this many by myself
And I’ my role as a leader
“Obviously, everyone here will discuss ether with Master-saether, cry, shout, and protect Master-saainst, it would not allow us to put our lives on the line”
