LV999 Villager

Kagami-san, wake up. Look, you have to go and greet Menou!

Nn? Aah-Let me sleepfor eight more hours

Hurry and wake up already. Otherwise, Takako-san will to come wake you, you know?

Im up.

It was morning in Balman. The attack by the Demon King Army had happened the previous day. The houses that had been destroyed were now being repaired and the injured people were being nursed. Despite it being morning, the town was crowded. The scene of Adventurers with the Roles of Monk and Craftsmen busily coming and going could be seen from the Inns window.

Last night, Kagami had returned to the town after slaying all the Monsters and lied about the Demon running away, settling his state of affairs. He was questioned by Adventurers of various Levels and the Heros party because they wanted to know how he had defeated them. Afterwards, he brought Alice and Takako back to the Inn and told them the truth.

Its been awhile since Ive met MenouLook, Kagami-san, change your clothes, change your clothes!

Kyaaa, Alice is a pervert! Geez, dont be so fussy. Im sure that Uncle will be waiting. I already told him that we would go greet him around noon.

Alice smiled radiantly as she forcibly took the futon away from Kagami.

Im sure youre an S, taking the futon away from me with that smile. Actually, why have you been smiling so radiantly since yesterday?

Kagami-san didnt waste his breath to defeat Menou and since well meet with him, I have a chance to properly talk with him. Im really happy.

Alice was elated and also told him, Kagami-san, thank you. When he saw that dazzling smile, Kagami thought about the Black Steak he ate while grinning yesterday and took mental damage. Although he thought about the gold he had saved, his heart still hurt, somehow.

Now that I think about it, Kagami-san, what did you do with that large amount of gold and gems you were holding yesterday?

I deposited all of it, since theres no way to carry it. It was an unexpected harvest.

All the gems that had been dropped by the Hell Crows had come out to a total of 51 Gold and 900 Silver. Rather than giving half of it to the townsfolk for the towns expenses, he had quickly deposited all of it into his safe at the Quest Guild.

He had an account registered in the Quest Guild so any other Quest Guild building became a bank that he could withdraw gold from.

Since the Quest Guild existed all over the world, a lot of Adventurers used it. It was the safest bank so they could deposit without any worries. There was also a charge of one Silver taken as commission for withdrawals so, other than Adventurers, very few people used it.

Is Takako-chan back yet? After eating yesterday, she said she would go take a look at the horrors of her Bar Club, but it seems like she didnt go there.

She came back once, but she immediately went to help out the townsfolk. She said it was important to socialize with the neighborhood.

At Alices answer, Kagami muttered, Just like Takako-chan, took off his sleepwear, and began to change into the plain clothes that he always wore.

He then saw Takakos figure outside, walking rapidly while holding two large logs, from the bay window and immediately erased that memory, deciding that he had not seen anything.

Waah! Kagami-san, why are you changing in front of me!

Isnt it fine? Im wearing underwear. Theres no problem if you think of it as a swimsuit.

Thats not the problem! Im an elegant woman, so think about it a little!

Kagami responded with Be careful next time to Alice, who was complaining while puffing her cheeks, and continued to change his clothes without taking her complaints to heart.

When she saw this, Alice, who was being treated like a child, headed to the dining hall on the first floor, thinking it was unpleasant.

Kagami finished changing with a phew and collected the luggage in the room before chasing after her.

He returned the rooms key at the first floor lobby before walking to the dining hall, putting his luggage down, and sitting in front of Alice, who was sitting with a glum look.

Dont be so angry. Were my muscles that unsightly?

Not really.

He sighed as he met her eyes, while she dangled her feet. He thought that her mood would be lifted by eating food, so they ordered from the lady who was carrying food around the dining hall.

Sure enough, when Alice carried over her food several minutes later, her mood had brightened up. When Kagami saw the brightened Alice, who was happily eating while asking him what food he had ordered, he was amazed. He then thought Whatever, feeling satisfied.

Well then, we have to plan the schedule of the trip to the Demon Kings Castle.

Certainly, it will take us ten days to get there. Though, I think that it would take twice as long if we tried to move discretely.

Going there is rather simple, but since we have a few people, as well as that Demon Uncle who cant hide his magic, it will take several trips to get supplies from the town.

Kagami spread open a map of the Arcasia Kingdom while holding bread in one hand. Alice looked slightly anxious.

It couldnt be helped that she wanted to know the truth behind her fathers illness and the Demon Army invasion as quickly as possible. Above all else, she intuitively felt that things would become irreversible if they were slow to act.

Horsesare no good?

Horses would absolutely never let Demons ride themAlice, your magic is suppressed but that Demon UncleMenou is impossible.

Alice was disappointed and dropped her shoulders.

Wellif we need to go there quickly, there is definitely a way.

Alice immediately perked up at these words.

How?

Theres this certain thing that we could ride that would let us arrive quickly, but I absolutely dont want to ride it.

W-Why is that? II want to know what is happening, even if its just a little faster.

Kagami, who didnt know Alices feelings, thought about it as sweat ran down his forehead. Honestly, Kagami was also worried about what had happened to the Demon King. His intuition felt that they could not be slow about this, no matter what. It was more important than worrying about being attacked by humans.

Yosh, lets decide it based on what we see. Well go with the majority vote.

Takako-san says its fine if we ride her?

Takako isnt someone who would want to let multiple people ride her?

Kagami put the payment for the meal on the table, stood up, and walked out of the Inn. Alice trotted along, ahead of Kagami.

That certain thingis a monster called KentaUros. Its a Monster that exists outside of the Arcasia Kingdom. Although they can talk like a Demon, they are still Monsters so there is no point in worrying about them releasing magic like a Demon. In other words, they are harmless.

There is such a Monster, huh? I didnt know, since it was impossible for me to leave the Arcasia Kingdom. It wasnt listed in the books I read either.

They were put on an island country instead of the Demon Kings Castle, since it was too dangerous to have them inside the Arcasia Kingdom.

Kagami stopped at one of the towns crossroads and pointed at a wagon that was approaching with a rattling sound.

Alices gaze followed his fingertip and the wagon reflected in her view caused her heart to pound violently. A Kenta-Uros had come forward, pulling the wagon. Its upper body had the appearance of a human that bore horns, as if it were a Demon, while its lower half had the appearance of a horse.

This wagon was pulled by two Kenta-Uros. One was blond and had a beautiful figure, while the other, who was old enough to be an Uncle, had a black mustache and short, black hair that was combed straight back from its forehead. They had a unique aroma and gave off a grand atmosphere as they pulled the wagon.

A-Amazin! They are able to speak because the upper half of their bodies is like a Demon, right? But, I dont feel magic, even though their horns look like a DemonsAmazing! The path of coexistence that I am aiming for will be gran-mogo!

Quiet! Your voice is loud. Cause here, youre a human. For now, its still too early to decideso just look.

As the Kenta-Uros pulling the wagon passed by Kagami, he sent them a distorted gaze, as if he felt grossed out to see a Kenta-Uross face.

Without saying anything, the Kenta-Uros, who had noticed Kagamis gaze, stopped in front of him.

A humanthis face, what is it?

Kenta-Uros Feature #1Too much pride. No, although it was uncertain if their pride was actually high, if they saw a disagreeable gaze, they would definitely stop and begin to talk about something.

(They would start talking even if it was something dead)

When Kagami continued to look at the KentaUros without saying anything or changing his expression in response to the Uncle KentaUros, the blond KentaUros stepped forward.

Humanwe are a noble existence. You guys are inferior living beings.

Kenta-Uros Feature #2They always believe that they are of a noble existence, even in front of humans of an overwhelmingly higher level.

Those like you are an existence equal to rubbish. You should be thankful that weve even let you hear our noble voices. Such trash is

Shut up! Walk faster!

As the Kenta-Uros were speaking, the distressed Merchant man aboard the wagon cried out and, with abashibashibashibashi!, whipped the two Kenta-Uros that had stopped. At the same time as the violent, painful sound rang out,

NNH AAAAAHHHNN FEELS SO GOODDDDDDD!

The two Kenta-Uros began to shout happily, their eyes rolled upwards, and their tongues hung out of their open mouths when they were struck with the whip.

Kenta-Uros Feature #3Overwhelmingly masochistic.

They had power several times higher than that of a horse, were able to vigorously continue past any obstacle, and were faster than horses. Since they looked down on humans, it would be normal for them to never obey. However, they were masochistic so they were just harmless Monsters that obeyed humans and wanted to get whipped. They are: Kenta-Uros.

They were Monsters who wanted to be whipped, rather than wanting to preserve their pride. They are Kenta-Uros. However, the Kenta-Uros recognized this as a give-and-take relationship so, to them, their pride was being preserved.

Amazin, Kagami-san. This is the first time that I thought I was so hated.

I know.
