[WN] Emperor's Seventh Son : 14 - 1 Part 3

14-1 Part 3

The Frost Giant Bergelmir - Piercing the Sea -

Translator : PolterGlast

「Then I'll go first. If possible, could you scrape away the rocky reef area by the seaside to make a port in Erin...?」

「That's... a job that feels freezing just imagining it... But I don't mind. It would be a problem if Carral's ship got stranded. I also want to see Carral's ship anchored in Erin.」

「Really?! That helps, Ashley! The shores around the Imperial Capital are steep, and there are strangely many rocky reefs... But if Ashley helps out, I think that place will flourish as a new port! Please, Ashley!」

「As the magistrate of Erin, I also ask this of you. Let's snatch the customers from Naglfar Port.」

Not bad. As a result, for Carral, that would be retaliation against Uncle Morak, who cornered her, and the merchant company under him. After all, Uncle is still desperately trying to monopolize the trade route leading from the Imperial Capital to Naglfar Port.

「Then I shall also propose a plan. Make an escape route for emergencies. We don't know who will become our enemy. I want to secure a retreat path for when the time comes.」

「I (Ore), no, I (Watashi) think you should pile up earth and dig, turning Erin into a fortress like you did for our village!」

「That is also quite good. If that's the case, could you also clear the northern forest? If Ashley-sama directly helps with the pioneering, the citizens will respect you even more, and the pioneering will liven up.」

No, wait. If I went along with all of that, my body wouldn't hold up... That said, it's troubling because none of the plans are bad at all. They are saying I should boldly use the power I've cultivated up to today from now on.

「Um... May I also speak kyan...?」

「Of course, Yashu-chan! Ah, right, want to lick a candy? Here you go♪」

「A-After this, I want you to fluff with Durin deshu!」

「Aneue... Don't derail the conversation like that...」

These two go at their own pace. Unable to refuse something received from a Princess, Yashu stuffed his cheeks with the candy ball and continued speaking.

「Um... I-It is a bit bold for me to say, but... What if we made allies not just with beastmen, but, um, with other races too kyan...?」

「My, that is quite an interesting opinion. By all means, please continue.」

「Korokoro... Haaa, it's sweet kyan... Ah, um, for example, the elves of the Holy City Fimbul, and further east, the various elven kingdoms. If they all learn about Ashley-sama, they should reach a conclusion similar to the King of Kaha, kyan.」

I don't understand. I couldn't quite accept why I would become a bargaining chip. That goes for the others too. There is indeed the eventual track record of having moved the King of Kaha, but I don't think it's a certainty.

Well, either way. I am currently without my favorite Shovel. None of the plans will start unless I procure this first. Losing the excellent Shovel made of steel really hurts. Even if I have a blacksmith custom-make the same thing, I have no idea how long I'll be made to wait; I'm in a state of mind where I can't bear to wait.

Leaving aside the derailed musings, no one could give an immediate reply to Yashu's opinion. However, that ended up calling out that intrusive Evil Dragon.

『Kukuku... Isn't that a brilliant idea. If so—』

Wait, Zirant! Don't tell me you intend to appear in this place...?!

『If not now, when? Just watch, kukuku...』

The next moment, a brilliantly glowing woman descended right in the middle of the dining hall table. That is, of course, Zirant... The Dragonewt who calls herself a god landed on the table without any regard for manners or anything else, and reigned over them with an appearance too young to be called a god.

「Wha, a woman appeared from the sky...?!」

「Eh, Zirant-sama?!」

「Oh my, this child is cute too...」

Since Georg put his hand on his sword, I ended up hurriedly holding his arm down. Zirant, you didn't have to go out of your way to make such a conspicuous entrance...

「Wagahai's name is Zirant. One who has watched over this Empire since ancient times. No, to put it another way, an old god who possessed Ashley over there and gave him the chance to grow.」

「I'm sorry to interrupt your satisfaction, but right now I'm in the mood to lie and say that you and I have no connection...」

「The legendary Dragon God-sama, actually existed kyan?!」

To guarantee Zirant's identity, I reluctantly pulled her small hand, telling her to get down from the table first because it's bad manners. Perhaps Zirant also thought it was hard to talk from up there. She jumped down energetically from there, and while bathing in everyone's attention, she swiftly ran to the back of the dining hall and turned around to face us.

「Umu, although I am separate from that Dragon God, as a fellow dragon, Wagahai shall offer advice. The first Emperor Ausareus—no, Ausar, once traveled the world with the Dragon God Yuran and gathered his own allies.」

Wondering what she would start, it was a story about the first Emperor that Zirant is obsessed with. Proudly, and in a good mood, she continued speaking plausibly.

「The countries of the demi-human races at that time, at the end of many long years, had been driven into a corner and were scattered and divided. Ausar connected all the countries with underground tunnels and overturned the numerical disadvantage.」

「Underground tunnels? If that's true, that guy is an unbelievable idiot.」

Connecting divided countries with underground tunnels is not a normal human idea. More than admiration, I felt exasperation, thinking how on earth he attempted such maddening work himself.

「Wagahai reckons that if you grow a little more, even you can do it. Besides, the underground passages already exist. Therefore, what is needed is the power to re-maintain them—in other words, you, Ashley.」

「Zirant, but you're overlooking an important part.」

「Mu, what is it?」

「There is no persuasive power. I believe you, but to the others, it's a pipe dream.」

Wondering what to do with this sudden intruder, both Georg and Puis were observing the situation. It's especially hard to explain to Aniue. I don't think he'd believe it if I said I was doing my excavation hobby, dug into a space with a dragon, was given the Book of the Evil Dragon, and became possessed...

「Then I only have to let you do as you please. If you maintain the underground tunnels created by the first Emperor, you can create hidden passages with the elven countries far to the east, the Horned race's country to the west, and the beastmen country Kaha to the south. You just have to show them the results later. Kukuku, left speechless by Wagahai's divinity, are y—fugyuu?!」

However, Aneue is flexible, or rather, her vector of thought was fundamentally different from ours.

「What what, this child is cute! Are you Ashley's friend?! Zirant-chan, won't you come to my room today?!」

「Wh-What are you doing, you, you mere Princess! Just because your breasts are big, don't get carried away, l-let go, l-e-t-g-o-o-o-o!!」

「I think it's impossible deshu... When Atomina-sama gets like this, she can absolutely never be peeled off deshu...」

Zirant was a dead strike for Atomina-aneue's tastes. By the way, "dead strike" (dosutoraiku) is a word from the other world. It's a complex and bizarre word combining 'dosu', which means a short sword, and 'strike' (raiku), which is a word meaning like. A 'dosu' seems to be a weapon frequently used for assassinations, which means—I don't understand the words from the other world at all. Could it possibly have originally meant liking someone so much you want to kill them...?

「Sorry. She might just look like a pathetic girl with a habit of lying, but apparently, she's a god for the time being.」

「That doesn't serve as a cover-up! Ei, kora, let go already, w-w-Wagahai is a god, no matter how much of a Princess you are, to show such disrespect to Wagahai—anyway, let go quicklyyyy!」

「Your acquaintances are competent, but they are all eccentric people who are hard to handle...」

Aniue relaxed his tired eyes and let out a light sigh. Then he looked at Puis, seemingly instructing him to wrap things up. If so, is it about time to call it quits?

「Well fine, all the plans seem interesting. Then let's do them one by one. But first, I'll start by searching for a blacksmith who can process Demonic Spirit Silver. I'll leave the later details to Aniue and Puis. See ya.」

I can't keep company with this chaotic meeting any longer. First is the processing of Demonic Spirit Silver and procuring a Shovel. Let's proceed with this.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

I was told the results of the meeting later. For the time being, they will proceed with strengthening the foundation called Erin, training troops, and coordination work to organize ourselves.

It seems the name of the organization was also decided. From today on, we are the [Shadows of Bergelmir]. It means to become the Frost Giant Bergelmir itself, which is also the name of this Imperial Capital, and move this Empire from the shadows. In the first place, regarding the truth of the Giant Bergelmir legend, according to Zirant, it was the unprecedented great achievements built by the first Emperor that mutated through oral tradition.

Well, whatever the case, it starts with making weapons. Let's make the strongest Shovel and sword from now on.

[WN] A Hero From a Remote Village : Chapter 242

Chapter 242

How to Deal with Ice-Attribute Attacks

Translator : PolterGlast

After defeating the Goblin, his excessive tension seemed to have faded, and he was able to focus on capturing the dungeon. Partly because the monsters appearing are still weak, he is able to defeat them without struggling; as expected, his potential is high.

「You're doing great, Gree! It doesn't look like you'll struggle with lower-floor monsters!」

「I became able to fight once I calmed down! I can tell I'm in good shape, and I want to keep fighting more and more!」

「Just be careful with your stamina. There are times when your body stops moving before you know it.」

「Yeah! I'll fight while being careful!」

With Gree, who answered energetically, at the lead, we proceeded straight to the tenth floor in one go. Partly because we kept the number of battles down and came to the tenth floor out of concern that it wouldn't be strange for him to run out of stamina somewhere, he still looks like he has room to spare. Since today is his first capture, we plan to return after finishing the tenth floor. Therefore, I intend to have Gree challenge the floor boss all by himself.

「We've arrived at the tenth floor! It looks like you still have energy to spare, Gree!」

「I'm feeling a little tired, but I can still keep going!」

「Then let's keep pushing forwa—」

「No, we're ending at the tenth floor today. There's no need to rush, and I think it's just the adrenaline pumping while it's actually taking a toll on your body.」

「I still want to keep capturing, but if you say so, Graham, I'll hold back.」

「Yeah, please hold back. Though it might not be much of a substitute, I want you to fight the tenth-floor boss by yourself, Gree.」

「I-I see. There's a floor boss... And I'm going to fight it alone?」

「You might struggle alone, but well, you can defeat it, Gree!」

「Hmm, will he be okay? Unlike the monsters that appeared on the way here, I feel like the floor boss was troublesome, so I'm worried.」

The tenth-floor boss is a Freeze Devil. It's a monster we fought during the Kaonashi subjugation as well, but it's an opponent you won't even struggle against as long as you have countermeasures against the ice attribute. However, that's on the level of Ginia and Aoi; for Gree, it might be a good match even with ice-attribute countermeasures. Up until now, it was a battle against completely inferior opponents, but the Freeze Devil is an opponent close in ability. There's no doubt it will be tough, but it's certain to be a good experience for Gree.

「As long as you have proper information, it'll be fine. The tenth-floor boss is called a Freeze Devil, a humanoid cow monster about two meters tall. It swings a large axe around, but its movements are slow, so you can deal with it. The most troublesome thing is its ice-attribute attacks; if your movements become sluggish, you won't be able to dodge what you normally could.」

「A two-meter monster, but its movements are slow. And... it uses ice-attribute attacks. Graham, how should I deal with the ice-attribute attacks?」

「Dealing with them using equipment or magic is the safe bet, but you don't have equipment or magic this time. You have no choice but to feel it with your eyes and skin.」

「That's too vague! How am I supposed to feel it!」

「If you see something that looks like ice, take your distance. Also, if you concentrate, you should be able to sense the cold air.」

It's difficult to explain, but he has no choice but to actually learn it with his body. I could test him with ice-attribute magic, but since the power is far too different from the Freeze Devil's ice-attribute attacks, it's highly likely it would just confuse him instead. I think fighting it in an impromptu performance is still easier to handle.

「It's that vague of a feeling...? Did you and Ginia understand it when you first fought it too, Aoi?」

「Hmm... When we fought it, we defeated it before it could let out any cold air, so I didn't really understand.」

「Yeah, yeah! Since the two of us fought it together, we defeated it in the blink of an eye!」

「So you two really are strong. I guess I have no choice but to try it myself.」

「You don't need to be so anxious. I'll help if it gets dangerous.」

Calling out to the pondering Gree, we headed to the tenth-floor boss room. In the middle of the floor was a Freeze Devil resting on one knee, and it stood up the moment we intruded.

「Whoa! It's huge!」

「It's just big. Its movements are slow, so just consider yourself lucky that the target is large.」

「Understood! I'll go defeat it!」

Fired up, Gree closed in on the Freeze Devil in one go. Just like last time, it raised its large axe high and swung it down aiming at Gree, but you won't take a hit from such a large swing if you're calm. Gree showed a leisurely evasion with a backstep, then slashed around its thigh in a counterattack. Perhaps realizing from that exchange that he could safely deal damage by attacking after dodging the Freeze Devil's attack, Gree's one-sided assault began from there.

As he steadily racked up damage, the Freeze Devil finally used its ice-attribute attack. It was an attack we were seeing for the first time too, but it was a primitive attack where it cloaked its own fist in ice and punched. However, it seemed to be something where even if you evaded, the ice cloaking the fist would burst and deal cold damage... but that didn't matter to Gree, who was riding the momentum.

After easily managing to deal with the ice fists completely, he gradually dealt damage, and delivered the finishing blow when its movements stopped completely. Against his first floor boss, he achieved a complete victory all by himself. I thought he could fight, but I didn't think he had become this strong. I thought it was still too early, but it might be fine to let him act as an adventurer in earnest.

[WN] Jitsuwa 3-Domedatta : Chapter 329

Chapter 329

(Kyle Calendar Year 514: Age 21)

The Banquet After the Victory

Translator : PolterGlast

The Royal Capital Tournament concluded without a hitch, both the individual and team matches. Amidst the swirling massive cheers, just as the tournament was about to be crowned with a perfect ending...

「W-We did it! The team match was also 10 times the payout! With my sisters, this time too, this time too...」

「Yuka-sama's intuition is splendid! With this, we... have a complete victory.」

「Everyone together once again! I'm so glad. It's just like that time, there's nothing happier than this!」

The moving finale was drowned out by the shouts of joy swirling in the VIP seats. It was clearly audible even to Takuhir and the others in the stadium.

「...」

The two brothers who had these women as wives and a sister—one in the stadium, the other in the VIP seats—could only hold their heads in silence together.

『I mean, with this level of joy, the bet definitely wasn't just around 100 gold coins. Just how much did they bet?』

If things go wrong, they might have earned an amount exceeding the annual revenue of a Viscounty, right? Thinking so, Takuhir was too scared to ask for details.

After that followed the awards ceremony, the conferment of rewards, and when the sun set, the banquet welcoming the King of Fearalt and such continued. At this banquet, partly at the request of both Kings, the top three of the individual matches and the two teams that advanced to the finals, having left notable results in the team matches, were also specially invited, adding flair to the event.

「Um... is it really alright for someone like me... to be here?」

「Miss Altena, me too. Somehow... it feels incredibly out of place...」

「I thought I had gotten used to being surprised after moving to Teigoon, but... this is the ultimate.」

「Such a glamorous seat, it's too dazzling... I feel like I'm going to get dizzy.」

「I-I'm too nervous... I mean, I'm nothing more than a commoner of the Imperial Kingdom...」

「No, I mean, I am... no, what should I do?」

Not only Altena and Serena who hail from the Kingdom, but the immigrants from the Imperial Kingdom—Aura, Diana, and Almis—were in the midst of feeling humbled and bewildered. Furthermore, the only male surrounded by women, Yorm, also froze, looking out of place.

「It's not like I'm used to it either. Even though Miss Carleen and I are Baronets, we are originally of commoner birth. But Lady Yuka rushed around frantically and went out of her way to arrange dresses for everyone. If we flinch here, we'll have no face to show Her Highness the Queen of our country.」

「Same as Miss Lilia. Because when you're with Lord Takuhir, your senses get messed up in various ways. Well, since we're here, let's just enjoy the luxurious meal.」

Lilia and Carleen have gone through scenes of carnage in various senses up to now, so they were strong even at times like this.

And regardless of the bewilderment of some, the banquet proceeded, and the feast welcoming the King of Fearalt began. At that time, there were those who surrounded the girls, who were tense and clustered in a corner, from a distance and looked at them with wicked eyes.

「Why! Why did those people change their clothes. Even though His Majesty was also looking forward to a stylish arrangement.」

「Exactly. Those eccentric clothes had something that... stirred one up, after all...」

「How about it? Why don't we buy those eccentric clothes for them, make them change, and have them add flair to this feast? To let them participate in this feast despite being of lowly status in the first place... If so, it should be necessary to have them cooperate a little with our tastes.」

The men staring suspiciously at them said whatever they pleased, since their targets were merely semi-nobles and commoners after all.

Although the old customs from when the restoration faction dominated were abolished and the outward system was revised in this country, the consciousness reform of the nobles themselves inside was still insufficient.

Much less, many nobles still thought of Takuhir as an upstart in their hearts. In fact, a few years ago he was nothing but the second son of a Baron house, not even holding a peerage...

「Takuhir-sama...」

Even at this time, the one who was quick to sense such an anomaly was Yuka. Receiving the words she softly whispered in his ear, Takuhir slowly advanced behind them.

※

「How about it? Making those women perform a dance to add flair to the entertainment?」

「That is a good idea. I was thinking of keeping them by my side under the pretext of providing guidance within my territory...」

「Then allow me to go and speak with them. We are prestigious nobles; mere commoners wouldn't dare say no.」

『...I mean, you guys are way too creepy. A bunch of grown men, every single one of you...』

Do I have to pick a fight here too... It was the moment I sighed. From behind my back, a clear, dignified voice echoed.

「You people, even if it is a joke, you have quite a courageous way of speaking, do you not?」

「What did you say? Who do you think you're talking to...」

Saying so, they looked to my left and froze.

「You people, of course! You possess great courage. Or did you get blinded by beautiful women and become unable to see important matters?」

「Y-Your Highness Clarice... w-we would never.」

「You people should thank me. Firstly, because I stopped you from being charged with lèse-majesté.」

Saying so, Her Highness Clarice stared at them while floating an expression of contempt.

「Wha-! We committed no disrespect...」

「Certainly, speaking in terms of status in this country, they are semi-nobles and commoners. But this time, they are honored guests invited specifically by our His Majesty the King and His Majesty Krieger. To insult His Majesty's honored guests is equivalent to insulting His Majesty.」

「No... we had no intention of insulting them at all. We just wanted to add flair to this feast...」

「Heeh, is that so? It sounded exactly like you were treating them as a sideshow, though? Incidentally, secondly, you people just narrowly escaped death, you know?」

「???」

「Archduke Westlights calls his subjects 'comrades' and cherishes them very much. If he learns that those comrades were insulted or made into a sideshow, he would probably be infuriated and hand down punishment upon you people. It seems you people do not know the terrifyingness of His Majesty the Archduke?」

Hmm? No, the story is heading in a somewhat strange direction... I don't care about myself, but...

「The people of this country know far too little about the terrifyingness of His Majesty the Archduke. His martial arts are tremendous, not inferior even to me, a Sword Saint, and capable of confronting legendary-class monsters. His ambition is so fierce that since his time as Frontier Count Demon Territory, he would kick me aside if necessary. His wrath is so rough that he tears apart and mercilessly rips to pieces and annihilates 20,000 enemy soldiers in an instant. His brilliance is so terrifying that he freely incites merchants, easily stopping the distribution in many territories and plunging them into famine. The army under his command is the strongest among neighboring countries, attacking with the fierceness of a raging fire, to the point where enemy nations fear him and call him the Demon King.」

『Somehow... it sounds like I'm a terrible person, but...』That's the only way it sounds to me, but...

「It seems there is a misunderstanding among everyone that he is someone who attained prosperity merely by riding the current of the times with luck alone. I intervened and saved you people just as the Archduke was about to hand down punishment upon you insolent people.」

Saying so, Her Highness smiled at me ostentatiously and then bowed her head.

「Eek, D-Demon King...」

Noticing my presence there for the first time, they turned pale and began to tremble. The person in question who declared it is sticking her tongue out and laughing. I mean, I feel like I've been had, so I can't honestly thank her.

「His Majesty the Archduke, the loose-lipped people of our country were exceedingly rude. Nonsense spoken at a drinking party... please, for my sake, spare only their lives...」

After saying so, she bowed her head deeply once again, but...

You've got to be kidding me! I would warn them, but there's no way I'd say to pay with their lives. I might get somewhat belligerent, though...

「Please, Your Highness, raise your head. This makes me look like the bad guy. Also... please spare me from just 'Demon King'. Even I get hurt being called that.」

「Oh my? It was my own way of paying a compliment, was it no good?」

No... you weren't praising me. It only sounds like retaliation for me constantly calling you a muscle-brain, a tomboy, and so on.

After this, Yuka, Chrisia, and even Her Highness Clarice entered the circle of our invited players and those from Marquis Gorman's territory, and began to handle things so as to put them at ease. Introducing them to friends and acquaintances, and handling things so they wouldn't feel left out at this feast.

Seeing such a state and turning on my heel in relief, a troublesome man in a different sense called out to me from behind.

「Hohoho, the Archduke was saved by Her Highness.」

Certainly, I probably have to thank Her Highness. If the current me causes a brawl, there are too many things that would be dragged into it.

I also understand that the cause of that is me being taken lightly because I act 'unlike what I am', and as a result, my comrades are also taken lightly. I reflect on this, but it's too late to change it now...

「Yes, I was saved. However, not being able to behave as one pleases under public scrutiny is a constricting thing.」

「That is probably a luxurious worry that only those who have can say.」

「A luxurious worry, is it... I suppose so, but... Unsuited, I think that is more accurate. By the way, Academy Principal, you managed various things well this time, didn't you?」

「Oh, whatever do you mean?」

Tch, he's playing dumb. Cunning as always. Well, I don't intend to complain about every little thing regarding this point.

「In this tournament, about how much 'funds to bear the future of the Kingdom' did you collect as the bookmaker?」

「Hmm... I suppose I should disclose a certain amount of information to the Archduke, who was the originator and shared the know-how. The total betting amount... exceeded 200,000 gold coins, I will just state that much. I was indebted to your wife and sister in various ways, but at the very end, they thoroughly fleeced an appropriate tuition fee from me. I thought I must also give some thanks to the Archduke for teaching us the operation methods.」

You say 'disclose', and that's all! I mean, if that's the case, you must have obtained at least 40,000 gold coins as revenue. Amazing... However, this is assuming the bookmaker's revenue was set at 20% like ours. Since it's the Old Raccoon, there's even a possibility it's more.

It's a good opportunity. I was thinking of talking in a separate room later, but conversely, might right now at a drinking party be more convenient? I decided to consult (declare) with the Old Raccoon regarding a certain speculation.

「Indeed, they are excellent in various ways, after all. Also, I don't need anything; if I carelessly accept something, it seems it would cost me dearly. However, there is just one point I would like your permission for.」

「Oh... if it is something I can do...」

「When approaching negotiations, gather elements to win and information the other party dislikes in advance. I was taught that by the Academy Principal while enrolled at the academy. I would definitely like to receive your permission. For the prosperity of both countries and the future ahead as well...」

「Oh...」

Answering briefly, the Old Raccoon narrowed his eyes, becoming a different person from the good-natured old man expression just a moment ago.

「What I desire is permission to present the information I have learned to the target person at the negotiation table from now on. The contents are two points, the details and the other party are...」

Lowering my voice, I conveyed the thought I was harboring now. About the indispensable element to accomplish the hidden purpose for which I came to the Royal Capital...

「I must say that is quite a dangerous negotiation. If handled poorly, it could result in making enemies of them, but will you still do it?」

「Yes, fortunately we are an independent nation possessing sovereignty. If they do not consent, we merely cut them off.」

「Even if that results in increasing enemies?」

「Even if hypothetically it comes to that, preventing them from openly becoming hostile is what this consultation is about.」

「Hmm... I cannot decide this solely on my own discretion, but it likely cannot be helped. I shall convey the matter to His Majesty from my end as well. However...」

「I am fully aware that it is forceful. And that they are a difficult opponent...」

「Hohoho, the previously obedient Archduke has also become quite cunning. It is a fine thing.」

「Yes, it is probably the result of being blessed with (bullied by) a good instructor in Kylar.」

In front of the person himself, I declared it nonchalantly. For better or worse, I was trained considerably by the Old Raccoon. I still don't have the confidence to beat him, though...

Thus, the banquet on the final day ended without a hitch. Now then, tomorrow is... dealing with the hidden purpose!
