Chapter 102

「There, Takumi, pipsqueks, go wild as you please」

「「Really?」」

「Yeah, it’s fine~」

「「Yaay~」」

「No, no, no!」

Wald-sama suddenly said something that fanned the children’s flame .

「Wait, Wald-sama!? W, what are you saying!!」

Wald-sama’s plan, was it perhaps utilizing us?

In Wald-sama’s case, he seriously meant it!

「Hm? This is a way to keep the damage at the minimum and eliminate the monsters most quickly . Look, Takumi, I leave the big shot to you~」

「No, no, no! Knight-sama, do your job please!!」

「Of course, I will go out too . Ah, you can leave the clean-up to me too! Well, Isaac will be the one dealing with the processing though!」

I believe that Wald-sama is extensively serious .

「Is this not an abandonment of one’s duties!? Isaac-san!」

I tried seeking help from Isaac-san .

「Let’s see~ Well, rather than being guards, our duty is to follow Takumi-san who can act freely, so~ Wald-sama telling you to go to the front doesn’t really mean he’s abandoning his duties~」

「I have no allies!?」

Isaac-san also recommended Wald-sama’s approach . When I looked towards Oswald-san and Mars-kun, they were looking at me with sympathy……

「「Onii~chan, let’s go~」」

Allen and Elena have been pulling on my clothes to go since a while ago .

「I understand, I understand~……」

Complaining already won’t change anything at this time . It would be better to clean-up before the damages become large .

「Can you withdraw people away from the group of orcs?」

「Just what do you……」

A broad grin appeared on Wald-sama’s face as he begun negotiating with Valgan-san .

But, Valgan-san was confused .

「You have no choice but to believe me」

「…… I understand」

Valgan-san seemed to make a decision and started giving instructions to the surroundings .

「Allen, Elena, we will reduce their numbers with magic first, okay?」

「「Un!」」

After verifying that the front has moved away, I lowered Allen and Elena from my arms and prepared for the attack .

「Here I go~――《Water Jet》」

「「《Water Jet》」」

With the people out of the way, the three of us fired magic at my signal .

The large amount of discharged water overwhelmed the orcs’ momentum .

「「「「「Wha!!」」」」」

I heard shocked voices from the surroundings .

「Ooh~ they got blown away fancily, didn’t they?」

「What a great power」

「It was incredible the last time I saw it too, but this one was the most incredible~」

The admiration voices of Wald-sama and rest were audible .

「That being the case, we should go soon as well~」

「Let’s do that . It doesn’t seem necessary, but it’s not like we can only watch . Oswald, Mars, we are going」

「「Yes!」」

Wald-sama and rest took out their swords and moved towards the orcs .

「Ah, Allen too~」

「Elena is going too~」

Allen and Elena also broke into a run . I also took out my sword――『Water Katana』from the《Infinite Storage》and ran after them .

「「Torya~」」

Allen and Elena jump kicked an orc with the momentum, used its chest as a stepping stone and jumped up .

「「Yaa~!」」

Then, they attacked the heads of the orcs . Each bringing down an orc with the exact same moves .

「Ha!」

There was an orc who tried to swing down its club at Allen and Elena when they landed, so I cut it down with my katana .

「Next one~?」

「This way~!」

Allen and Elena identified their next prey and ran towards it without a hesitation .

「「There~!」」

「Buhiiii-!」

「Oryaaーーー!」

「Haa~!」

「Buhiii-!」

Not only Allen and Elena, but seeing Wald-sama and rest smoothly defeating the orcs together with the soldiers and adventurers, the orcs’ numbers quickly decreased .

「Bumooooooooーーー!!」

Seeing its comrades being defeated one by one, the Orc General roared .

Glaring at its hateful enemies, the Orc General’s coercion increased .

「Now then……」

Orc General is…… B-rank, right?

Well, I don’t think it’s necessary to be so cautious, but…… I don’t know what it’s capable of when enraged . Defeating it with magic and not allowing it to get close would be a valid strategy .

N~ Should I use fire magic I have not tried using before? But you see~ the Orc General’s hide seems to be quite a good material and I heard that its flesh is also tastier than that of an orc, so it would be wasteful to just burn it .

…… The Orc General doesn’t really look appetizing, but I feel like eating pork fried with ginger for some reason .

「First……――《Wind Arrow》」

「Bumoooooo!」

When I used a wind arrow as a test, the movements of the charging Orc General just slightly quivered . On the contrary, it got enraged even more .

「…… Quite sturdy, isn’t he? Then, next is――《Air Hammer》」

This time, I activated magic to smash the Orc General with air pressure from above .

「Bumoo!?」

The Orc General took a posture of lifting an invisible stone with both of its hands .

「Takumi, you seem to be taking it quite easy」

「「Onii~chan!」」

Just at that moment, Wald-sama and others who defeated the rest of the orcs joined up with me .

Allen and Elena who ran over as well clung to my legs .

「Taking it easy, is not quite right, that fellow is quite a tough one~」

I keep the Orc General under the air pressure so that he couldn’t move, so it’s not like I’m taking it easy .

「Allen will defeat it~」

「Elena will defeat it too~」

Thinking this to be an opportunity to participate, Allen and Elena raised their hands an appealed to me .

「…… Oh well . Shall we bring it down with magic at once?」

「「Yess~!」」

I know the magic power of these two is enormous, so it would be better to bring it down at once rather than uselessly prolonging it .

「Then, are you prepared?」

「「Un!」」

「Well then――《Water Jet》」

「「《Water Jet》」」

「Also, a freebie!《Tornado》」

Invoking magic together with the children, I further mixed the water magic with wind magic .

When the vigorous whirlpool of water reached the Orc General――dokan, it made a loud noise upon impact .

「Bumooo-……」

The directly hit Orc General feebly collapsed to the ground .

「「Defeated~!」」

A lot of people were injured during today’s orc raid, but luckily, there were no casualties . In addition, it ended with no damages to the town . After that, we began cleaning up, but Isaac-san told me first with a very nice smile that the Orc General and several orcs should naturally belong to me, so I immediately stored them into my《Infinite Storage》 .

After storing the orc materials――rather, their corpses in the《Infinite Storage》, I was told by Isaac-san「It’s a nap-time for the children, isn’t it?」next . Well, the day has certainly become pitch dark, so I agreed as it was without a doubt that time .

Then, I was half-forcedly returned to the inn with Oswald-san . Thinking that this is the “clean-up” Wald-sama was talking about, I obediently decided to return to the inn and rest .

Then the next morning when I awoke, Wald-sama and rest were also already back . Well, they went to report to the Alveil’s Feudal Lord after cleaning up, so they seem to have just pulled an all-nighter .

After asking for details, the Feudal Lord apparently hoped to meet us . However, Wald-sama declined that after explaining that we are in the middle of a journey to the royal capital to meet with the King . The King is given the top priority after all . Wald-sama refusing in my stead was an excellent judgment . Rather, I wanted to say「Good job declining!」 .

Well, you know~ the reason the Feudal Lord wanted to meet with us was apparently either an invitation to serve him or get captured by him if unlucky . He must have heard the story from Valgan-san and that’s why he wished to meet us .

Well, there’s no positive proof though .

「Takumi, sorry about this but can we depart in the afternoon? Let me take a nap for a little」

「I don’t mind leaving tomorrow?」

「No, I don’t think there would be further troubles, but I want to depart quickly」

「I understand . We will obediently wait in the room, so please rest up」

「Ou, that would be nice . Your faces are probably well-known by now, so it would be better to not leave that much」

Wald-sama and others we working all night, so it wouldn’t be good to depart right away, so we spent the morning leisurely in our room .

After that, we departed from Alveil in the afternoon, the journey went uneventfully, and we have safely arrived at the royal capital .
