◈ 271. [Side Story] It
‘s crazy.
God Hand calmly explained the local situation in the Principality of Bringer.
“The 1st Corps of the Imperial Army, commanded by Prince L’Arc, has occupied almost all parts of the principality. Now, the only troops left for the Duke of Bringer are a small number of Royal Knights. It is safe to say that everything else has collapsed.”
“Why did you declare war on us? To us who reached out to help?”
When I asked because it was absurd, God Hand laughed bitterly.
“It must be your pride.”
“her?”
“The Duke of Bringer, who I met in person, was more proud than the world knew. Even losing the battle is shameful, but the current situation itself, where you bow your head and come under His Majesty’s command, seems unacceptable.”
“so. Can’t you just come downstairs?”
“yes.”
God Hand nodded.
“He said, ‘I’ll see if I have the capacity to accept me’… … .”
“Did you hit the declaration of war?”
Because you can’t just be a subordinate? Do you want to see me face to face?
‘What’s this.’
Are you a real bastard? Or super macho… ? What should I say about this?
God Hand continued to recite the conditions presented by the Duke of Bringer.
“The condition is 5 to 5. The Duke of Bringer and the 5 Royal Knights. And five warriors selected from the southern front. A small-scale war under these conditions.”
“… .”
what kind of war is that
Just party vs party. 5 inque PK.
“In case of defeat, they will be subordinate without saying anything, but if they win… … .”
“what. Are you asking me to give up command of the front lines here?”
“yes. Exactly.”
… Isn’t this a real crazy bastard?
In an instant, curse words welled up to the bottom of my chin, but I managed to suppress it. God Hand looked at me like that and smiled shyly.
“also… Aren’t these conditions too ridiculous to accept?”
“no! accept.”
“yes?”
I smiled fiercely at him.
“It must be fun to break the bridge of the dragon lady’s nose.”
The country is ruined and all soldiers are lost. I want to take care of myself until the end.
‘I think giving that arrogant face a very good scratch would be a good experience for that grand duke.’
Originally, I thought of a cooperative relationship where we get along well with each other.
I have no intention of refusing if that person wants to walk up to me first.
After the fan, I make him a subordinate and treat him like a dog.
“Are you okay? Although we are in the midst of defeat, the power of the Duke of Bringer and his knights is enormous.”
I guess so. Because the duke and a few of his small knights were supporting an already defeated country.
but.
“The strength of our frontline warriors is also very great. don’t worry. Because I never lose.”
The 5 members of our main party are also very strong.
Above all, I know all the information about the Duke of Bringer and his party.
The basics of war are information warfare. This side, who knows all about their skills and stats, has an overwhelming advantage.
It is a battle from which there is no reason to avoid. It’s just absurd.
“So when are you coming?”
“They detained us and then sent us… I just left a message that I would visit soon. In the first place, the situation in the Duchy of Bringer was so complicated… … .”
You don’t know exactly when it will come. If you wait for something, it will come to you.
I noticed red scars all over the limbs of the 3 members of the shadow unit. I gently patted them on the shoulder.
“You must have gone through many hardships. It was really hard.”
“no. Nothing happened.”
God Hand bowed his head deeply to me.
“If your lord restores your trust in us, we can do even more.”
“… .”
I grabbed God Hand by the shoulder, then released my hand and gave a chin gesture.
“I’m still tired from travelling, but follow me. I have somewhere to go today.”
“Where are you going?”
“Dungeon under the lake. I have some work to do.”
The main party is Evangeline with an abdominal injury. Damien’s eye injury. Lucas is a beast. For other reasons, it is difficult to mobilize immediately.
It is a situation where the rest of the elite, the punishment unit and the shadow unit, have to carry out the work for the next few days.
They also suffered minor injuries and will be tired, but I will give it to them.
Anyway, at my instruction, the three Shadow Units gathered their equipment and followed without a word.
I left the drawing room and tried to go straight to the backyard- the teleport gate.
however.
Sigh.
“Eh?”
“oh.”
When I opened the parlor door and came out, I saw a woman who was restless.
In a wheelchair with red-hot red hair… It was Lily, the senior wizard of our Southern Front. I asked curiously.
“Lily? What are you doing here.”
“Ah, Your Highness, that’s why… … .”
Lily, who was stuttering, rolled her eyes and the end of her gaze reached God Hand.
“… .”
“… .”
There was an awkward air between Lily and God Hand.
It was awkward, but somehow tickling, and the air was like the warm wind of spring blowing.
In between, I became even more awkward… … .
‘What the hell.’
The corners of my mouth twisted.
Playing with love in the darkly sacred monster frontline, these bastards… … !
‘I’m pissed off… … no no. Office dating isn’t forbidden, though.’
No matter what, don’t do it in front of me!
My stomach hurts! Fuck! No, I am cursing without even realizing it!
“Lily, that… .”
God Hand was about to open his mouth, but I got in between and stirred my arms. Cut-!
“Come on, I don’t have time right now! After work, the two of you should meet separately and have a hearty chat! got it?”
romantic relationship? do your best! But shuffle to do it in a place where I can’t see it! Will I live alone because I’m sad?
I mercilessly grabbed the god hand and dragged it out into the backyard.
Lily, who was staring blankly at our backs, suddenly shouted.
“I’ll follow you!”
“What?!”
Frightened, I jumped up and looked back. Likewise, God Hand, surprised, looked back. I squealed.
“Are we going to the dungeon now? that dungeon! Under the Lake Kingdom! Those black, sticky, dark, soggy monsters wow! Are you going there? Are you following me?”
“I am also the senior wizard here! You followed me a few times before!”
It did! And you hated it every time! Will you still join?
“I have a story to share with God Hand.”
Lily said with a determined face as if she had made up her mind.
“Please organize the party, Your Highness. I will go too.”
“… .”
The corners of my mouth, which had been silent, curled up viciously.
“okay. If you want to return to field work like that, I’ll gladly take you there, Lily… … !”
“Oh no, just this time. Only this time… … .”
Lily’s face immediately went white.
I chuckled evilly. yes good! If you want to date in front of me like that, risk your life… … !
Then God Hand went behind Lily and gently grabbed the handle of the wheelchair. And then he smiled.
“A wizard needs a avant-garde. If you go to the dungeon, I will protect the front, Lily-sama.”
“ah… .”
“Let’s go.”
Lily, who was trembling with a red face, lowered her head. God Hand took Lily’s wheelchair and went out to the backyard in the lead.
I was watching the body bag burnout with a steamed back.
I could see the two of them exiting the mansion and making their way to the backyard. Only then did I come to my senses and say a word.
“Ahhhh! Salting is crazy, really!”
***
A punishment unit was waiting in front of the teleport gate.
It is said that the Punishment Unit and the Shadow Unit have already exchanged greetings during the last defense battle.
It was a party made up of heterogeneous races, so it seemed that they quickly became acquainted with each other.
“They weren’t surprised to see us like this. After all, it’s an elf.”
“Because we often interacted with the Werebeasts before our respective countries collapsed. There is no reason to be surprised.”
Quylan and God Hand had such conversations.
Lily? Lily’s wheelchair is being pulled by me.
It was a stern decision made as a commander to prevent further pink convection from occurring here.
“… .”
Lily is staring up at me with cloudy eyes as she sits in the wheelchair I pull. what. what man
“majesty. Can I ask you one question?”
“what.”
“Your Highness is the one who has a reputation as the best playboy in the empire. But why do I feel like I’m sick to my stomach because of someone else’s relationship… … ?”
That’s right, the best playboy in the empire is Ash.
Being possessed by this guy’s body, I’m now single. Wouldn’t it be natural to get mad at the salting in front of you?
… Having endured the words, I made an excuse with a calm laugh.
“We have to be vigilant when entering the dungeon. Shouldn’t you be distracted somewhere else? That’s why I dropped you guys.”
Immediately after, I blinked my eyes fiercely.
“By the way, did you just admit that it was a relationship with your mouth? You’ve become quite brazen, our senior wizard?”
“Oh no, that… .”
“Whenever you sang because you hated elves, you just fell in love, right? huh? Yes?”
“No, no comment! I can’t hear you!”
Lily covered her ears and bowed her head. I snorted. Couples like these cockroaches. eat well and live well joy.
We boarded the teleport gates one after another.
The penal unit entered first, followed by Lily and the shadow unit.
Flash-!
***
[Now Loading… Teleporting.]
[Tip – The hero characters under your command form various relationships with each other. Friendly relations are helpful in battle, and hostile relations are detrimental. Help the heroes form good relationships with each other.]
What a timely tip! kyaaak!
***
The base camp is where you arrive via the teleport gate.
“As I explained earlier, I have two purposes for visiting here today.”
After confirming that everyone had finished teleporting, I gave a brief briefing to the party members.
“The first is to recruit the sorceress ‘Cutting Coco’ grandmother who can install a teleport gate.”
Space Severer – Coco, the NPC dedicated to teleporting. A large witch who resides at the base camp.
The old lady who opened the door to the event dungeon.
Acquire this old lady and build a teleport gate at ‘any location I want’.
Naturally, only pre-installed teleport gates were available in the game. But this is reality.
There are resources and there is a dedicated wizard, so it will be possible to install the teleport gate in the desired location.
‘If I can install the teleport gate at will, I’ll be able to do all sorts of tricks.’
It will also be useful for the construction of forward bases.
So, the first purpose was to come to capture Grandma Coco.
“Second… Oh, he’s coming.”
When I looked away, all the other party members looked that way.
An adventurer woman was running towards us in a hurry.
An assassin class elf woman with long light green hair and three teardrops under her left eye.
The leader of the NPC adventurers’ party, the Holy Grail Expedition. It was Belldandy.
Belldandy, who ran in hastily, smiled brightly in front of me.
“You are safe, Your Highness!”
“It was a little late because we had to defeat Lunared and come back after maintenance. Please understand, Belldandi.”
“no! Thank you for coming back to keep your promise… … !”
Belldandy bowed his back and bowed.
Yes, the promise with Belldandi. The rescue of the Holy Grail Exploration Party, which was promised in advance.
[Sudden Quest – NPC Rescue]
– Rescue the NPC kidnapped by the Nightmare Corps.
-Location: Area 7 ‘Wolf Den’
-Reward: ???
– Remaining period: As of the 2nd,
a significant number of NPCs are being kidnapped in the District 7 dungeon ‘Wolf’s Den’. And there are only two days left until the rescue time limit.
You must start rescuing NPCs in the shortest time with available party members.
This is the reason why I brought two parties fully armed today.
“Today, we will clear the road and rush in tomorrow to rescue it. Are you okay?”
“yes!”
Belldandi nodded with tears in her eyes.
It was then.
“… Mr. Belldandy?”
A puzzled voice was heard.
Belldandy and I looked that way. It was God Hand who gave the voice. He looked at Belldandi in front of him with eyes that couldn’t believe it.
“Are you alive?”
“… !”
Surprised, Belldandy’s eyes widened.
“You are… !”
Belldandi staggered and came in front of God Hand and couldn’t say anything and covered his mouth.
God Hand and Belldandi’s hands squeezed tightly together.
The two elves didn’t say anything for a long time and just looked at each other with sad eyes.
At the scene of this sudden reunion, everyone just watches,
“… God Hand.”
A cold voice was heard.
It was a voice that seemed like it would be blue if there was a color. Frightened, I glanced back at him.
Lily’s head tilted to the side as she sat in the wheelchair. His eyes sank as cold as the sub-zero dawn.
“Who is that woman?”
“yes? oh no that is… .”
God Hand hurriedly removed his hand from Belldandi and struggled with both hands.
“It’s not like that! Lily-sama! So… … !”
At the base camp here, there was no trace of the warm pink wind until now, and the weather suddenly became cold and freezing midwinter.
“… no.”
Watching this mess, I couldn’t stand it and cried out.
“I fell in love with filming a romance in a dungeon man!”
It’s crazy, really!
