CH 70

[I was originally living in a village to the east of Saint Bell… the hateful 『Demon Hunters』came causing trouble… and destroyed my home… Because of that I was forced to live here.]

[…………]

Demon hunters.

It is a group that attacks demons for monetary purposes.

The demons, with the hatred they have against the human race and its immense magical power, are placed in a position where they have great rewards for their subjugation.

Because of the circumstances, demons tend to attack humans many times.

If I think about it, the hero Gard who gave me the application can also be part of the 『Demon Hunters』.

[And then I found this mansion as my new residence. Apparently they haven’t been able to find a new buyer for this place since the death of their former owner.]

So this mansion… is it for sale in some store?

By the way, it looks like Yuuko was wandering around the cemetery to find materials to create new familiars.

The race of the Wraiths is capable of creating Hitodamas, Ghouls, etc. from human corpses.

[What about the adventurers who invaded the mansion? Haven’t they hurt you?]

[Kukuku. Those who are unreachable will never get a scratch. Although… I’m giving them some traumas with the Ghouls so they don’t come back again.]

[…………]

Now I have no reason to blame Yuuko.

But what will we do?

It may be easy to drive her out of the mansion if I ask Carolina to… It’s a bad idea.

It’s not good either to leave Yuuko as she is.

It seems that among the adventurers it’s famous that demons settle in this mansion, and it is not uncommon for them to hunt demons. At some point they will end up being a threat to Yuuko.

[This is luck! I’ve been thinking about what kind of demon had settled here… I couldn’t imagine it was a brat!]

A voice said in the darkness.

When I looked at the person who spoke, the figure of a brilliant Ikemen with a weapon and a refreshing smile.

[Gard-san… why are you here?]

When I asked, Gard pulls the sword out of its holster and starts laughing.

[Haha, you haven’t noticed yet? You were being used as a disposable piece to defeat the demon!

In fact, I thought the demon would kill you when you two started fighting…. But the situation changed! You must not fear even if your enemy is a demon, because she is only a child! Today we’re going to hunt the demon… 『The Feast of Roses』 will defeat you!]

[…………]

He went so far as to say that dialogue even in a refreshing way.

I see.

I wonder why I was fooled by a guy like that.

I was ashamed to see the refreshing smile of the person who cheated on me.

[Master, let me finish this scum, I’ll take care of them in 10 seconds if you let me.]

[… No, no.]

For anyone but me, Carolina is a cold person.

If I leave it to her, I’m sure she have a big chance to kill Gard.

I don’t want to do anything like stealing a person’s life, even if it’s a bad guy.

Cause all I’m aiming for is a win-win world that can make me happy.

[Summon… Goblin Knight.]

The demon I chose is the Goblin Knight.

It would be better if Gard’s opponent were one of the demons 『Not too strong and not too weak』 that I have in my group.

Although I feel I can beat him in a moment if I use the Adamita’s Golem, but I still feeling that is an excessive fighting force.

[Well… I’d heard rumors… It was true you used demons.]

Hahaha! You could have defeated the Wraith using such a weak occupation!]

Oi, oi, oi, oi.

You can make a very good flag.

After all, it seems that the occupation called “Monster Tamer” is considered lost in Adellheid.

This is the result that I gained a great amount of experience due to the protection of Aphrodite called 《Absolute Control》 that I acquired by chance.

I’ve heard that normal monster tamers can only use up to 3 demons.

[Then… I’d like to give you a demonstration, my dear Souta-kun, of a group of soldiers who’ve been training for 10 years against a Goblin on your side, do you think it can win somehow?]

[Who said it’s just one Goblin?]

Let’s see.

Let me surprise you by showing my strength.

That’s what I thought. I’ll summon more Goblin Knights from the Capsule Ball.

The total number is 15.

A body of Goblins equipped with special weapons made by Sheryl seems pretty cool if you looked at them from my perspective.

[Are you stupid?!… What the hell…? This amount is…!]

Thank you! That was the reaction I expected!

It’s reasonable for Gard to be surprised.

[… Well, there’s no problem! Even if my numbers are lower, the other side is still Goblins! There’s no reason to fear them!]

[Oh!!!]

The mercenaries raised their morale by Gard’s words, immediately attacking Goblins’ corps.

[Goobu! Goobu Go!]

However.

It seems that the Goblin Knights’ fighting abilities was higher than he had anticipated.

Is this the result of Carolina’s hard training?

Gard’s mercenaries could only retreat to my troops’ advance.

Hmm?

There is no doubt who is dominant in this battle, but… If you look closely, there’s a place where Goblin knights are being pushed back.

[Gard-san! Please, retreat yourself! We can win this battle! Domon will make sure of it!]

Domon Bardocash

Gender: Male

Age: 35

When I looked at the area where the problem was… There was a stout man* who was about 2 meters high.

(TN: The word used here is Osan, which means “Big Uncle” or “Big Person”, as in Highschool DxD, Issei calls Tannin “Osan” because of her big size and age.)
