Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

Outside the house, several figures appeared in an unpopular village.

Anxiety crossings are overflowing, people's faces are in a hurry, and they are also stretched hard.

And the moment that those eyes captured the appearance of the Somas, did you realize that they were strangers, or did you already know that the Somas themselves had arrived?

I lit up a clear hostility in my eyes and stared at them as if you had brought them here.

"Hmm... well, it would be normal for this to happen"

"Well... well, given the circumstances, everyone would think so."

And that's why the Somas need a hand here.

I don't think that's all I can do to dispel the suspicion, but at least I can do something to make you wonder if it's different.

All we have to do is win a little credit from it.

Although we don't know what the hell we're doing here, we're going to work together.

Then the eyes of discord should be crushed as soon as possible.

Well, anyway...

"... I see there do seem to be many species other than mankind"

Most people have characteristics other than the human species, even if they look at it from scratch.

It seems that there are about ten people out there, but it is not uncommon for some to know at a glance that they are of other races, that some have wings growing from their backs or some have tails.

Indeed, it seems to be a village made of people from outside the human race.

Cecil is listening to each one of them as she heads in.

Apparently you're asking me what exactly happened.

"Ever... speaking of which, Cecil is a human species?

"... Speaking of which, yes. Besides, you're the village chief, right?

I'm not saying that's strange, but if there are many non-human species, I feel it's more natural for someone other than the human species to do it.

Besides, Cecil is honestly young.

He'll be older than the Somas, but probably around twenty.

I turned my gaze to Sheila, wondering if she knew anything, but she shook her neck to the side.

"... by the time I met him, he was already the village chief"

"Hmm... well, I'll ask you that later, too. It may not be necessary depending on the conversation."

And, talking about that, Cecil came back.

I can see at a glance that the complexion is bad and the situation is not good.

"In the meantime, did you find out the details?

"That's right... it looks like there's no intruder first"

"Doesn't look pale to you for that? You said it was worse than that, didn't you?

"That's just great.... According to the stories of those who were vigilant around them, a group of about fifty people appeared around this village earlier. And the move is obviously looking for something."

"... found?

"At least, I think it is noticed that there is a village nearby. And I think it's only a matter of time before we find it."

"Hmmm...... by the way, what is this thing called a junction that is stranded in this village?

"It is a simple cover-up system junction. It's just that it's there but you don't notice it, so it doesn't mean it's spatially isolated. But cover-ups are at their peak, so it's hard to break in even if you realize it was there."

"What's the exact way to break in? That doesn't mean it's impossible, does it?

"Yes it is. If in any way it invalidates the junction, it is intrusive. Otherwise, it is impossible to enter without being guided by residents."

"I see... is that why we let them in?"

But if that's true, then this situation is the first.

I don't know if they can break in, but at least if we use man-made sea tactics, one day the village's location will be identified.

And if we're identified, we're done.

Because the opponent only has to keep an eye on the perimeter of the village.

There seems to be fields and such in this village, but it is just not possible to make everything self-sufficient.

Do you get twitched and crushed, or do you get killed all at once?

The only future left in this village was either of them.

Depending on why this village is hiding, there will be other options.

"By the way, how is this village hidden in the first place?

"... yes, we should have talked more carefully... but not if we're talking about it. This village was originally one of the secret bases of the resistance."

"Resistance......?

"Well it's actually a little exaggerated to say that much... because Veritas is being treated unfairly by non-human species. If you treat them as slaves, they are still better, and it is not uncommon to treat them as livestock or less. Is there such a thing as an organization where people who feel angry about it and choose to resist it come together? Some of them are protecting non-human beings, and this was one of them."

"Hmm... I think we're talking in the past?

It was more than five years ago.

"More than five years ago... oh, I see"

"... um, Gotagota started in Veritas"

Whatever you want to sue or do, it's not where it comes from if the stalk shakes.

And naturally, if we had finished talking there, this shouldn't be happening right now.

"So... if it was meant to be, we could have gone out of the country confused by that docility... but we all chose not to. It was originally possible to act as an organization, including this village, because one of the princes supported it. So, to return the favor, everyone chose to support the prince."

"Hmm... Veritas did have three princes, and now there was civil unrest in the form of deciding who of them would succeed?

Whether it's due to a combination of various factors, not just that, but at least the center is there.

Nature and civil unrest will also subside if someone decides to succeed, and vice versa, civil unrest will not subside unless they decide who will succeed.

The First Prince insists that his former glory cannot be forgotten and that continuing to seek it is the way forward for Veritas.

The second prince decides that the former glory cannot be regained already and insists that the restructuring that was at their current height should be carried out.

The story is that these two are seen as powerful not only within countries, but also within Veritas, and that is as you can see from the fact that I have heard what the first and second princes claim, but I have never heard at all what the third prince claims.

"… the third prince is making another claim with the two of them. If it's not the way it's always been, it's not about maintaining the status quo, and we want to take this opportunity to make this country a better place."

"Heh...? I've never heard such a story before, but it's known in Veritas... it doesn't seem like it"

"I see... did the prince who supported me mean the third prince"

That's what I judged Cecil to be like, but she didn't seem wrong.

Is it as expected to be guessed, Cecil nodded without showing a surprise bare gesture.

"Yes it is. But, as you know, the third prince has not so much power or influence, which is essentially the form in which the first and second princes are single-handedly struck. Nevertheless, we are not giving up, so we are in a situation where we are plundering profits from the two sides into the gap that they are fighting over."

"Hmm... if you do it badly, you're going to get caught up in both situations."

"But it's not that influential, and above all, it's missed because each other's opponents are busy, is that what it feels like?

"... so, there is. To be honest, I feel sorry for you in many ways, but if you do it from the front, you're sure to lose, so you just have to compromise. However, at the same time, we are certain that we are in the way…"

"... if you find him, he'll crush you"

I mean, that seems to be the status quo.

There are no other options.

Nevertheless, it is also a story of if there is no way to repel those who come.

"Well, in short, don't hesitate to repel it."

"That's what's gonna happen."

That would prove useful, and it would be two birds a stone.

Cecil doesn't seem anxious at all, but she doesn't know what she's capable of.

But.

"You don't have to worry. I'm still confident in my arms there."

"If you were there, there wouldn't be a powerful man in this world."

"... Mm, I agree. … so don't worry"

Cecil nodded slowly, even though she seemed anxious about whether Sheila's words still worked better than those of the Somas.

Well, we just need to prove right away that that anxiety is useless.

"Now... will you kick me gently?"

That would also soothe the gaze that continues to be directed at us from earlier.

With that in mind, Soma took Aina and Sheila and headed outside the village.
