Part 1[edit]
Magic City Sharia. [1]
There was a house located in its suburbs.
In that house, an elven girl was copying the contents of the mail that came through the
communication lithograph.
“Let’s see, the mail from Sylphiette-san says…..『The title of the Sword God has been taken over by
someone else, the former Sword God’s whereabouts are currently unknown. Nina-san is pregnant
so she can’t aid us. I’ll be heading towards Biheiril Kingdom now.』........Is this what I should re-
direct?”
Her job was to transcribe the collected news that arrived from various places and then hand it over
all at once when Orsted or Rudeus came back.
However, based on her own judgement, she was allowed to redirect any urgent news that came
through.
Not to mention, the collected news had words such as ‘God’ or ‘King’, it was usually difficult for her,
who was of lower middle class, to distinguish such importance.
“The Sword God has been substituted and the whereabouts of the former Sword God are unknown,
this means that the possibility of him becoming an enemy is high, so let’s redirect this......”
And thus, with Aisha’s sharp sightedness she was able to zero in on her.
There were many others who were far better with information management than her, but she was
chosen by Orsted himself.
According to Orsted’s experience, it was highly unlikely that she would become an enemy.
“I should first send this to the Supard village, but who should I send it to next……
Ah, probably Eris-san. Since she’s a Sword King, she might be able to think of something if she
knew.”
While muttering those words, she faced the communication lithograph in the corner of the president's
office.
With a magic crystal in one hand, she was scuffling with the communication lithograph.
Faria was trying to send a message to the Supard village and to Third City Heilelul.
The moment Faria hesitated, the Ogre waved his hand with a *swoosh*.
The communication lithograph which just sent the message was blown off with a large noise.
Along with the office door.
“N-n-n-n-no.”
Faria sank down onto the floor and finally told him.
As if she was paralyzed from the waist below, she couldn’t even run away.
The only thing left in her mind was the thought of not wanting to die.
“Eeekk.”
The now opened and extended hand made Faria curl her body up.
The thought of getting crushed by his hand was only for an instant as the Ogre gently lifted her up
and threw her out of the hole he had created moments ago.
“Ahhhhhhh!?”
Faria was thrown out of the office, flew with high velocity, bounced twice, rolled about and came to a
stop.
“..........Ngh!”
Whether her legs restored after being thrown at the ground or not, she was standing up with her
legs, although shaking like a newborn goat.
After running a few steps, she fell down.
After she repeated that almost three times, a thunderous roar echoed in the background.
She turned back.
“.......Aah.”
The scene that entered Faria’s eyes was the destruction of the office.
The red ogre was going berserk, and while timber and building stones were being scattered about,
the building was losing its structure.
Before long, Faria forgot about running away and looked at the destruction dumbfounded.
Dumbfounded, she just saw the destruction, wreckage, and the transformation.
She couldn’t do anything.
There wasn’t anything she could do.
While being harassed by a feeling of powerlessness, she just kept watching.
She wished that the red ogre wouldn’t come out of that wreckage.
She wished that he wouldn’t come this way.
She was wishing for the surroundings to go quiet, for the noises to vanish.
That someone would come to investigate after hearing that thunderous roar and protect her, she just
kept wishing for that.
That day, all of the teleportation magic formations set up by Rudeus Greyrat lost their light.
Part 2[edit]
At the same time, Roxy and Eris were in a forest.
The Third City Heilelul was a port city.
The oceans of this world are fundamentally filled with fishman race or sea fish race. Together,
they’re called the beings of the sea race.
Except for a predetermined area of the ocean, the passage of land dwellers has been prohibited.
Fishing in one part of the neighboring port city was allowed, but if one left that area, then the sea
race would probably sink the ship immediately.
However, it’s a little different in Heilelul.
The sea in between Ogre Island and Third City Heilelul are Biheiril Kingdom’s territorial waters.
During the founding of Biheiril Kingdom, all of the sea race were purged from this area, thus giving
Biheiril Kingdom complete access to the sea.
Since then, Third City Heilelul has become a popular fishing port, with types of seafood that can’t be
found anywhere else.
.......Or so it was supposed to be.
“It’s delicious but salty. Why would someone sprinkle salt like this?”
“It’s probably for the sake of preservation.”
“If it’s for preservation, then why not just use ice magic like Rudeus?”
“Not everyone can use ice magic, you know.”
A smile crept onto Roxy’s face as she replied back to the complaining Eris.
Fundamentally, Eris wasn’t the type to complain about food.
But it was certain that pickling salt was put on the fish a bit too much.
A town with an abundance of seafood, or so they say. But really, it’s filled with nothing but preserved
food.
Why were the ogre race saying war was coming? Roxy and Eris made sure to get the information
regarding that.
It was because they were participating in the subjugation force.
On orders of the Ogre God, the head of the ogre race.
And now, the head of the ogre race, Ogre God Malta, was in Second City Irel.
They were currently heading towards the teleportation magic formation that was set up in a cave to
relay this information to Rudeus.
They were a little late in submitting the news, but the last time they saw the communication
lithograph, it had good news saying that the Supard race was heading towards recovery and that the
negotiations went well too.
It was doubtful whether the situation over there had suddenly taken a turn for the worse.
“The ogre race will protect the Biheiril Kingdom. They probably still uphold that oath even now. But
isn’t it strange that he would go to neither the capital nor the Third City but to the second city?”
“Gisu is working with him anyway, right?”
“It’s still too early to decide that. Perhaps the Ogre God is just inspecting the local place by himself.
There’s still the possibility of him becoming a comrade, so it’ll be problematic if we’re antagonistic.”
“Listen, Roxy. After we report this info, shouldn’t we meet up with Rudeus?”
“You just keep saying that, don’t you?”
“But I just want to meet Ruijerd already. I’ll introduce you as well!”
“No......once, I’ve met him once before, you know?”
Ah, looks like Roxy realized the origin of that unpleasant premonition as she gave a wry smile.
Both Rudeus and Eris held no fear towards the Supard race.
In her mind, she knew that the Supard race wasn’t a race of demons.
But her body stiffened up anyways, no matter what.
Possibly because she heard about the folklore so many times as a child.
“Hmm, let’s see. Now that we’ve come this far, I guess it’s fine if we move to the second city. That
way, Ogre God Malta can’t change his location and we’ll be able to confirm our info as well. ”
For now, they’ve obtained all the information that they could from the third city.
It should be fine to leave their position for a bit and go see the Supard village.
While thinking that, Roxy’s feet came to a halt in front of the cave where the teleportation magic
formation was set up.
It was a hole that was large enough for one person to pass through while crouching, camouflaged by
branches.
Its previous owner, a bear, attacked them when they approached the cave, and as a result, it was
killed by Eris and then eaten.
At that time, thinking that it was just right, they ended up recycling the cave.
Moving the branch of the tree which disguised the entrance, they entered the cave.
It was twenty metres deep and fairly wide. But it stank of animal.
And deep within the cave, a teleportation magic formation and communication lithograph were set
up.
“.......Oh?”
But there was something slightly odd about the teleportation formation.
The teleport magic formation was set up deep within the forest to make use of the high mana
density, and it continuously gave out a blue, shining light after its activation.
But for some reason, that light had vanished.
“It’s obvious.”
“Something happened!”
“That’s.......if something didn’t happen, then this........”
“...........Ngh!”
She stood up in a hurry and started running towards the entrance of the cave.
She thought that if the one here didn’t work, then the other magic formation will.......
But after several steps, her feet came to a halt.
What if she was on the enemy’s side and attacked the office in Magic City Sharia?
What would happen to the other magic formations?
She would obviously not leave them alone.
She would destroy each and every one of them.
“Roxy!”
“..........That’s true.”
Of course, they were worried about the children in Magic City Sharia.
It’s not just Roxy, even Eris had the impulse of running back to the house, and if she could...
Part 3[edit]
At the same time, on the other side.
Zanoba was getting impatient.
Rudeus had triumphantly taken the two soldiers to the Supard village.
It was Master, so he would somehow be able to entice the two soldiers and negotiate peace, or so
Zanoba was thinking.
Did the negotiations fall apart?
But the communication lithograph did say that『Persuasion was a success』.
It was signed by Orsted, so there’s no room for doubt.
Then, why?
Perhaps, were they attacked by an assassin on the way?
At the very least, they might’ve gotten into trouble midway and were forced to stay there.
It can’t be that they’re sightseeing the Second City now that everything’s safe........no it couldn’t be.
But at this rate, the subjugation force will depart in around ten days.
Should he wait?
Should he move?
The perplexed Zanoba decided to move.
Using the teleport formation to move to Supard village and ascertain the situation.
After deciding that, Zanoba acted fast.
He left the inn, taking Julie and Ginger with him.
Taking the luggage, he hurried towards the hut where the teleport formation was set up.
“Ngh......this is........”
However, the teleport formation and communication lithograph had lost their light.
Zanoba immediately realized what had happened.
That some kind of accident happened at the office.
After thinking for several seconds, Zanoba came to a conclusion.
“Ginger!”
“Yes!”
“We’ll head towards the Supard village!”
“Roger!.........and Second City Irel?”
“Not through there. If there’s an enemy, they’ll be waiting there.”
“Kuh, looks like it’s still far. Ginger! Julie! Were there any Seven Great World Power stone
monuments around here!?”
“I don’t remember one!”
“I haven’t seen one!”
People who could use the teleport formation aren’t limited to one.
He had thought of contacting Perugius and asking for his help, however.........
“It can’t be helped! If you find one on the way, let me know! Let’s head towards the Supard village
this instant!”
“Yes!”
The three of them started moving towards it.
Towards the Supard village.
