Ankoku Kishi Monogatari ~Yuusha wo Taosu Tameni Maou ni Shoukansaremashita~

br*asts was perfectly transmitted onto my left arm.

Maybe it’s just my misunderstanding, but Kuna’s irritation might be because I rarely have a date like this with her.
That’s why she wanted to fully enjoy the moment without any interruption.

「Well then, please take my hand, my lady.」

We’re about to arrive at the place that sold sherbert.

I’d gone to that place once before with Rena.
And now, I was once again going to that same place.

「Uhm? For some reason, this place seems to be familiar to me.
It’s the place where I ate sherbert with Kuroki in my dream.」

I was frozen stiff upon hearing Kuna’s unexpected remark.

Wait a minute, what did she mean?

Could it be that Kuna and Rena have some sort of mental connection?

And then, I noticed something.

If Kuna was seeing Rena’s dream, would that mean the opposite could happen?

If that was the case, it was only natural for Rena to know about my trend.

Rena definitely knew about Kuna’s existence.

「Is something the matter, Kuroki?」

Since I suddenly fell silent as I pondered over this matter.
Kuna looked up at my face with a puzzled look on her face.

「No, it’s nothing.」

I replied with a smile to Kuna.

There was nothing I could do about that situation anyway.
I shouldn’t think about another person aside from Kuna right now.
Nothing could be done even if some information was leaked from my side.

「I see, let’s continue, Kuroki!!」

Kuna pulled my hand.

My mood brightens whenever I see the smile on her face.
There was no particularly troublesome information that could’ve leaked out anyways.

Rather, let’s show off this situation to Rena!!

I walked alongside Kuna as I thought that way.

◆Black Haired Sage; Chiyuki

The next day, Reiji and I visited the general’s office.
The reason was to form an investigation team for Karkinos’ incident last night.

The reason why it was only the two of us was because Shirone, Rino and Nao were having too much fun dancing last night.
Sahoko was looking after those three while Kyouka and Kaya had returned to the Holy Republic of Lenaria for some business matters.

Reiji was still asleep too, but I’d forced him to wake up to accompany me.

Upon entering the room, Decius and Clasus were already waiting in there for our arrival.

「Please enjoy, gob.」

The goblin slave who was employed by Clasus offered tea for us.

I barely stopped myself from thanking that goblin.

I’d already learned my lesson to never thank a goblin slave.

According to my investigation, it seems that the one who used goblin slaves was a magician called Hobadis.
Thus, the goblins who were turned into slaves came to be called Hobadis Goblins.
Many would abbreviate it as “HobGoblin”.

Magician Hobadis was a busy person who was often away from his home due to his job.
That’s why he wanted a servant who could protect his home when he was away.
Thus, his attention moved toward the goblins, using suggestion magic on a goblin to turn it into a slave and a faithful 「House Spirit」.

Since HobGoblins were a goblin who were planted with the idea of the goblin being a human slave with suggestion magic, the effect of the magic might wear off if we didn’t treat them like slaves.

That’s why their meals, such as bread and milk, have to be leftover food.
And we couldn’t give them clothes inappropriate for a slave.

If by some sort of mishap they were given excellent clothes unbefitting of a slave, they might say 「Maybe I actually am not a slave, then I’ll sto~p being one.」.

That’s why I mustn’t thank the goblin slave.
Because that’s how you treat a slave.

The hobgoblin left the room after delivering our tea.

「Let’s be honest… we actually have no idea about what to do with this case.」

Decius spoke in an apologetic manner.

Reiji, who was sitting by my side, didn’t even try to hide his disappointment.

「I see… I guess we have no choice but to use straightforward methods, huh.
General Clasus, how many personel you can allot for this case?」

I looked at Clasus.

The general office existed exactly for this reason: investigating by relying on the number of personnel.

Due to the small number of Oudith temple’s knights of law, they couldn’t be relied on for a large-scale investigation.

「I can prepare any number of soldiers you need, Chiyuki-dono.
If that’s not enough, let’s call several freedom fighters from Teseshia.」

Clasus replied with a hearty laugh.
Now that we have secured the personel we needed, what should we do next?

When I was pondering about that, another visitor came to the general office.

The one who came was Shizufae and co.

「Sorry, we are late.」

Shizufae bowed to us.

「No, it’s okay.
We also just arrived a moment ago.」

When Reiji replied with a refreshing smile on his face, Novis made a disgruntled face which was in contrast to his female comrade.

It seems he came too.

The reason might be to protect Shizufae from Reiji’s evil claws.

「Eh, Shizufae-san.
That helmet? Could it be that you became a believer of Goddess Rena?」

The helmet on Shizufae’s head resembled the one worn by the battle maidens.

Rena’s holy bird was a swan.
That’s why her battle maidens wore a helmet with swan wings ornament on its side.

In addition, the battle maidens were known as Swan’s Maiden while their male counterpart, the temple knight of Holy Republic Lenaria, were known as Cygnus’ Knight.

And the current Shizufae was wearing that very ornamental helmet.

「Yes, I received divine protection from Rena-sama.」

Shizufae spoke with an extremely delightful smile.

「Hee, that suits you, Shizufae-chan.」
