「さてと、リーアが付いてくるのはいい。だけど守って貰わないといけないことがある」
「はい、離れない事ですね」
「そうだ。だが、それだけじゃ心許ない。この指輪と、この短剣を身に着けてるように」
「えーと、どんな意味があるのですか?」
まあ、只の指輪と只の短剣にしか見えないからな。
リーアはステータスを確認して引いている。
そりゃな、装備するだけで基礎ステータスが200UPだからな。
素材はオルハリコンを高純度で抽出して、さらにマジックメタル、精霊鉱石も、同じように抽出して合成。
刀の質の違う金属を重ねる方法に、幾重にも折って叩いてを繰り替えす鍛造技術。
DPで取り寄せた、こちらも高純度のエリクサーを冷却用に使うという。
一万人を超える住人がいるからこそできる、荒業と言えよう。
まあ、今までの話から想像つくかかと思うが、現在の嫁さん達の装備品はナールジアさんの一品で大体毎月更新されている。
ラビリスは俺から譲り受けた刀を大事にしているが、もうあれも時代遅れの性能と化している。
パソコンだって半年もすれば新型出るし。
「これで驚くなよ。代表の俺と一緒にいることになると、色々危険もあるから、専用の装備を作ってもらう事になるから」
「専用!?」
「ああ、一応俺の付き人だから、護衛も兼ねるんだよな。今は逆だけど、将来的には頑張らないと、他から文句が出る可能性がある」
「言ってなんだが、そこまで気にしなくてもいいけどな」
強制レベルアップ祭りするし。
さて、あとは指定保護をかけるか。
「最後に、俺達代表や、それなりの地位にいる人はいつでも連絡ができるように、ダンジョンの加護を与えることになっている。その加護で連絡できるコールスキルが手に入る。見たことがあるからわかると思うが」
「はい」
「条件は、加護を受け入れること。心の底からね。今まで何人か弾かれたりしたから、そこら辺は気を付けて」
因みに、はじかれた奴は、厳重に取調べてあっさり横領しようとしていたことがバレた。
実際やっていなかったので、御咎めはないが、こちらを欺こうとした事実は残っているので、重要職への昇格は無し。
「準備は整ったな。歩いていくには遠いから、指輪を使って飛ぶぞ。使い方は行きたい場所を言って『転送』と言う事。とりあえずは『総合庁舎へ転送』っていってくれ」
「はい。総合庁舎へ転送」
言うなり、消えた。
勿論この手の指輪とか短剣は個人の魔力に合わせて鍵を作っているので、奪われても相手は使用できない。
厳密にいえば魔力と指紋の科学と魔術の合わせ技だから、そうそう使える様にならない。
俺みたいに、どっちの知識も活用していない限り。
俺も追いかけますか。
「ユキ参謀お待ちしておりました」
転送場所の護衛がこちらへ敬礼してくる。
リーアは俺がいつ来るかと心配してたみたいだな。
「お疲れさん。指輪と短剣で重役と言うのはわかるだろうが、紹介しておく。俺専属の付き人リーアだ。色々よろしくしてやってくれ」
「はっ!! リーア様、宜しくお願い致します」
「ひゃ、ひゃい」
「ようやく、護衛を決めたのですね。ユキ参謀の奥様方は皆多忙。我々兵が護衛をしてもプライベートまではできません。どうかユキ参謀をお願いいたします」
そうやって、リーアに転送の護衛兵達が一斉に頭を下げる。
って、おい、俺の護衛問題なんでお前等が知ってるんだよ。
「我々の警護関連で常々問題になっているのです。奥様達は相手を孕ませることなどできませんが、ユキ参謀が変な女にかどわかされないかと、前から相談を受け、どうしようか悩んでいたところです。一つ間違えば、ウィードが混乱の渦中になりますから」
「うおい、まだ何も言ってないぞ」
「では、普段からふらふらするのをやめていただきたい」
「ぐっ」
流石に迷惑をかけておいてふんぞり返る根性はない。
「まあ、参謀が色々我々の為に骨を折ってるのは知っていますからね。こちらも止めにくいんですよ。ですが、奥様達の不安。ウィードの不安定化の可能性。どちらもわかります。だからリーア様、どうかユキ参謀をお願いします」
「はい、任せてください!!」
なんで元気よく返事するかね。
......ん? ちょっとまて、今の話からすると、リーアは四六時中一緒ってことになるのかね?
あれ、リーアを任されたのは勇者の関係でだよな。
勇者を永久護衛兼監視にするつもりじゃねえよな?
そんな無駄使いするわけがない。
......人族の魔王は、特務でのんびりしてるけど、これは無駄遣いじゃねえよな?
「と、話が長引きましたね。魔族の面会の件は第三会議室で行っております。エリス代表とデリーユ特務が対応されています」
「なにか、情報は聞いたか?」
「いえ、まだ聴取を始めたばかりでして」
「そうか、ありがとう。引き続き転送場所の護衛を頼む。各国の王にも報告してるから、集まってくるはずだ、対応を間違えないように」
「はっ!! 参謀もお気をつけて!!」
リーアを引き連れて、会議室へ歩いて行く。
第三会議室前で横の扉へ、入っていく。
「これは参謀」
「いえ、今はとりあえずお茶を飲んで落ち着いてもらっている所です」
勿論事情聴取してるのだから、マジックミラー完備の場所だ。
監視側に入って聞いてみるが進展なしね。
「と、この子リーアな」
「はい、任せてください」
なんだ、俺は子供か。
「で、落ち着いてもらってるって言うのは?」
「はい、来た時の状態は息もかなり上がって、体も傷だらけでした。致命傷は無いものの骨折している場所もあり、危ない状態でした」
「は? ちょいまて、その状態で今事情聴取してるのか? 休ませた方がいいだろう?」
「それも、私達も、エリス様、デリーユ様、共に提案しましたが、軽い治療だけして、直ぐに話さないといけない事があると」
「そこまで、重要な案件か」
「本人にとっておそらくそうでしょう。なので、ポーションを混ぜたお茶で回復しながらですね」
「ああ、ルルアやエルジュは出払ってるからな」
「はい、ランクスがガルツ領に侵入したのでしょう? なれば其方の対応の方が先ですね。人命がかかっているならともかく、死ぬ様な傷ではなく、私達で対応できるレベルですから」
因みにエルジュは今回の話を聞いて、病院の勤務体制と医療品の発注に忙しい。
ルルアが外交で出なければいけない分、エルジュの仕事はかなり多い。
このウィードで最大の回復術士は俺を除けばルルアとエルジュだけ。
下手に動けないので、ルルアとエルジュは病院で24時間勤務を交代で勤めている。
指輪の機能で簡単に行き来できるが、本人達はなるべく素早く対応したいといってその体制になっている。
今のところは、重傷者はそうそういないので、病院で仮眠をとれるからお肌の心配はないらしい。
そのせいか知らないが、ルルアは俺に合うと抱き付きたがる癖がある。
他の皆よりは確実に一緒にいる時間は少ないからな。
それを皆もわかっているのか、文句はいわない。
出来た嫁さん達と言うべきか、連携が恐ろしいというべきか。
「それなら、俺が行って治してこよう。リーアはここで留守番な」
「え、でも」
「心配するな。というか、俺がやられるなら、ここはどうにもならん。逃げろ」
「そ、んな」
「はぁー。参謀なにおっそろしい事言ってるんですか。いいですか、リーアさん。あの魔族の方はお話があって来てるのです。害をなすことはほぼありません。というか、力技でどうにかなるなら。お話すらしないでしょう。だから心配はいりません」
「あのなー、俺は万が一を思って......」
「それは分かりますが、リーアさんはまだ二日目と聞いています。ユキ参謀の実力もご存じではないのです。怖がらせるような事はやめていただきたい」
「ごめんなさい」
そう言われるとどうしようもない。
「強い、んですか?」
「ええ、ウィードでは最強でしょう。奥様の中で随一と言われるデリーユ特務にも勝ったと聞きます。が、これは内密に。わざと情報を秘匿されているのです。表向きには、強い事は強いですが、中間ということになっております」
なんか、リーアの目がキラキラして、眩しいモノを見るように見つめている。
なにかと勘違いしてないか?
俺はヒーローじゃないからね。
表をほっつき歩きにくくなるから、情報を隠してるのよ?
気になるが、今はそこに時間をかけてるわけにはいかない。
直ぐに会議室に入る。
「あ、ユキさん」
デリーユとエリスがこちらに振り返る。
魔族の女性はゆっくりエリスにコップを支えられながら、ポーション入りのお茶を飲んでいる。
「どうもこうも、強情な奴じゃよ。死にはしないと言っても、顎にも強烈な一撃をもらっておっての、顎が砕けておる。それでも筆談で治療をそこそこにと言ってきおった」
「そこまで、急ぎか」
「じゃろうな。敵対意思は認められん。エリスもあのように手厚く治療の助けをしておるしのう」
「そうか、なら。エリス少し離れてろ。エクストラヒールをかける」
「はい、お願いします」
エリスが離れると、無詠唱で素早くかける。
普通なら隠すところだが、向こうの急ぎようが気になる。
エクストラヒール特有の派手なエフェクトが入る。
今思ったが、攻撃はともかく、回復にこの演出効果いらなくね。
それはともかく、その魔族の女性は体を確かめるように動かす。
「すごい、このレベルのエクストラヒールを無詠唱で......。あ、顎も治ってる」
自分が喋れたことで顎も治った事に気が付いたのか、顔に手を当てて確かめている。
「お体の方に問題はありませんか?」
「あ、はい。完全に治ったようです」
「いえ、流した血は戻りませんし、体力もなくしている。普通ならすぐにご飯を食べて寝てもらう方がいいのですが」
「そんな時間はないのです!!」
「ええ、そのようですね。とりあえず、お茶を飲んでください。聞いたと思いますが、ポーション入りですから、回復もしてくれますし、落ち着いて順序立ててお話していただかないと、私達も混乱します」
そういって、大人しく席につく。
こういう時はいくら急ぎであろうが、最初から説明してもらうしかない。
魔物の大群が向かってると言われれば、対応するが、それは外の見張りが勝手に見て報告してくれる。
だから、俺達がするべきは情報を正しく聞いて判断を誤らないためだ。
「とりあえず、急いでほしいのはこのウィードへ、私に暴行を働いた者たちが来ているのです。どうにかして対策をたてていただかなければ、住人に被害が出ます」
「わかりました。デリーユ、連絡を」
と言っても、トーリとリエルに話しているからな。
こっちの話で確定しただけ。
エリスが俺の分のお茶を煎れてくれて、横に座る。
俺はお茶を飲みながら彼女に話の続きをうながす。
まずは自己紹介が必要だな。
「まずは自己紹介からいきましょう。私はこのダンジョンの街、ウィードで軍の参謀を勤めていますユキと申します」
「私は先ほど言いましたが、改めて、このウィードで娯楽区の代表を務めているエリスといいます」
「ご丁寧な挨拶をありがとうございます。私はリリアーナ・レストンといいます」
ん?
リリアーナ・レストン?
隣のエリスも首を傾げている。
「ラスト国の、いえわかりませんね。魔族の国で魔王を勤めておりました」
二人して、盛大に噴いた。
大物どころか、ラスボス来ましたよ!?
勇者はどこだ!!
あ、隣の部屋にいたね!!
でも弱いね。
でもさ、この魔王、デリーユより弱いのよ。
エリスでも戦える。
俺大混乱。
Side: Yuki
(Yuki)[Now, it's good that Leia came. But there are things I have to protect. ] 
(Leia)[Yes, I won't leave your side. ] 
(Yuki)[True, but that's not enough to put my mind at ease though&h.e.l.lip; Here, put this ring on and keep this dagger on you at all times ] 
(Leia)[Etto, what are the purpose of these things?] 
At first glance they just looked like ordinary rings and dagger, I know.
While Leia was holding the dagger, I confirmed her status.
Well, just by holding it gave her a boost of +200 to all of her base parameters.
They were made using using extracted and refined orichalc.u.m. By the way, the same process was used for handling magic metals and spirit ores too.
Mixing and combining alloys of differing strengths and quality, meticulously folding and hammering them over and over again&h.e.l.lip; Our forging methods were based on the same ancient techniques used to make katana. Those were the basics I taught Naruja anyway.
By the way, she used elixirs made with DP for the cooling step.
Compared to the 10,000+ people who lived here, there really weren't many made--that's just how ridiculous it was to make them. And if you you knew how much DP it actually took to make just the materials, then you'd understand what I mean&h.e.l.lip; In the end, that's why it was probably smarter to focus firearms development then. Still, there were still a lot of other possibilities I wanted to explore, so I asked Lutz and Ellis to keep using DP for that.
Well, I think you could probably guess by now, but all my wives had their gear custom forged by Naruja, which were updated monthly1)Tensky: they'll run out of DP at this rate  / Chill: I'm guessing updated means maintained / Cre: Well, Im guessing maintained and actually replaced with better versions. But man is he overprotective!!!.
Labiris was still using the katana she received in my place, but it was already oudated byt now&h.e.l.lip;Innovation really was scary, huh?
&h.e.l.lip;Even PCs would only update their models every 8 years&h.e.l.lip;
(Yuki)[You look surprised. But because of the dangers of joining me as a Representative, you'll be getting your own exclusive equipment made too. ] 
(Leia)[What!? My own exclusive equipment!?] 
(Yuki)[since you'll be stuck with me for awhile, you'll be counted as an escort too. Though in reality, it's more like--if you don't do your best from here on out, then you'll only be buried under a mountain of complaints.] 
(Yuki)[Well, even though I say that, I don't think you'll need to worry too much about it ] 
After all, I was going for a one shot level up feast from h.e.l.l anyway.
Now, should I put her under my Guardian Appointment now?
(Yuki)[Anyone who is either a Representative or in our inner circle will receive the Dungeon's protection. Under that protection, you can keep in touch with us easily and at any time by using the Call skill. Since you've already seen it in action I think you get the idea.] 
(Leia)[Yes] 
(Yuki)[Ah, in order to receive my Guardian Appointment, the condition is simple--Just fully accept it from the bottom of your heart. A lot of other people have done this already, but be careful] 
By the way, we found out that the ones who failed to receive Guardian Appointment actually planned to try and take over and usurp power.
They weren't publicly called out or punished for their actions, but because of the fact they that tried to deceive us, promotion was out of the question.
(Yuki)[Preparations are now complete. Since it'd take too long to walk over to the Government Building from here, let's try out the Transfer Ring. When you want to use it, you'll have to say{Transfer} along with the destination target. For the time being, say{Transfer to the Government Building} . ] 
(Leia)[Yes. Transfer to the Government Building. ] 
She said and disappeared.
Of course, the ring and the dagger identify the individual according to their magical power so even if they're stolen, they couldn't be sued by anyone else.
Strictly speaking, it's a combination of magical power and fingerprint verification, science and magic, so there's no way they could use it.
Unless, like me, you had the knowledge of both.
Should I follow after her?
(Guard)[Joint chief Yuki, we're here to escort you. ] 
The escort at the transfer place salutes.
Leia seemed to be worried about when I would come.
(Yuki)[Well done. You will understand, but since I gave you the ring and dagger you now have heavier responsibilities, let me introduce you. She is my exclusive attendant, Leia. Please treat her well. ] 
(Guard)[Hoh!! Leia-sama, please treat me well. ] 
(Leia)[Hiya, Hiayii. ] 
(Guard)[To summarize, you're an escort. joint chief Yuki's wives are busy. Even if we soldiers can escort you, we cannot do it privately. I'm entrusting you with joint chief Yuki. ] 
At that moment, the soldiers escorting at the Transfer place lower their head concurrently to Leia.
So they said. Oi, you guys are my escorts and this is my problem you know.
(Guard)[It's always been one of our problem as guards. Although If you make one mistake, Weed will be in the midst of chaos. ] 
(Yuki)[Uoi, I haven't finished talking. ] 
(Guard)[Then, on a daily basis, I want you to stop him from wandering. ] 
(Yuki)[Guh] 
My guts have no way to refuse the trouble.
(Guard)[Well, I do know that joint chief breaks a lot of bones for us. He is also hard to stop. But the wives are anxious. There's a possibility of Weed getting destabilized. I understand both. So, Leia-sama, please I entrust you with Yuki .
(Leia)[Yes, please leave it to me!!] 
Why was your reply so high spirited!?
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;. Hm? Wait a minute, from the current talk, is Leia going to be together with me all the time?
Are, with the matter related to Leia and hero.
You're not going to give her to me as a permanent escort, or do you want me to be the everyday watchman of the hero?
There cannot be such a squandering.
&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip; The people from the Demon King, this is a relaxing affair, but what with that freaking squandering?
(Guard)[And, the talk was a bit prolonged. The meeting with the Demon is inside the third meeting room. Representative Ellis is mandated, supported with Delille. ] 
(Yuki)[Have you heard any information?] 
(Guard)[No, they just began talking. ] 
(Yuki)[I see, thank you. I'll continue to ask the escort to guard the Transfer place. I also gave a report to the Kings of each countries, so they should come together. Don't make a mistake with the correspondence.
(Guard)[Hoh!! Take care joint chief!!] 
I'm accompanied with Leia and we walk to the conference room.
We enter the sliding door2)Anth : j.a.panese sliding door. http://www. homedosh. com/wp-content/uploads/j.a.panese-door2. jpg of the third meeting room.
(Guard)[This is the joint chief. ] 
(Guard)[No, now they're having tea and trying to calm down. ] 
Of course, he is listening to the situation at the place with the magic mirror.
There's no progress according to that side of the surveillance.
(Yuki)[And, this child is Leia. ] 
(Leia)[Yes, you can leave it to me. ] 
What, I'm the child?
(Yuki)[Then, you're saying that she is calming down?] 
(Guard)[Yes, when she came, she had a considerably rough breath and her body was full of bruises as well. Although there were no fatal injuries, there were places where she had fractures, so she was in danger. ] 
(Yuki)[Huh? Wait a minute, and you want her to explain the situation now? You should let her rest first, no?
(Guard)[Even so, we together with Ellis-sama and Delille-sama jointly proposed, but after a light treatment, she asked to speak immediately. ] 
(Yuki)[Is it an important matter?] 
(Guard)[Perhaps it's the case for that person. So she is recovering with tea mixed with potions. ] 
(Yuki)[Yes, Herge and Lulu are out. ] 
(Guard)[Yes, aren't Rankus invading from the territory of Galtz? In this case, they need to interact with the destination. Even if it's a life-threatening wound, as long as the people aren't dead, they can handle it.
By the way, Herge is stuck working at the hospital since she heard the story, she's now managing medical supplies.
Lulu went out as a diplomate, so Herge's work is a lot.
I am the greatest healer after Herge and Lulu inside weed.
Because they can't operate poorly, Herge and Lulu are working on a 24 hours s.h.i.+fts at the hospital.
Although they can easily come and go with the functionality of the ring, the persons themselves want to respond as quickly as possible.
For the moment, there aren't any severely injured people so she can take naps, worrying about their skin.
I don't know if it's because of that, but Lulu always hugs me whenever we meet.
She has less time to be with me than anyone else.
There's no complain, whether everyone understands or not.
Should I say this is my wives power? Or should I say their collaboration is frightening?
(Yuki)[Then, I'll go over here and heal. Leia, sit here. ] 
(Leia)[Yeah, but. ] 
(Yuki)[Don't worry. They could capture and harm you if you go there but not me. 3) I have no idea: toiuka, Li Ji Otherwise escape] 
(Leia)[No, way. ] 
(Guard)[Haaa. joint chief, you're saying it wrongly. It's fine, Leia-san. This is only a talk with the Demon. There is no harm done. Or rather, there won't be any fights. There will be only a talk. So don't worry. ] 
(Yuki)[Hey you know, I think if by any chance&h.e.l.lip;.. ] 
(Guard)[I understand that Leia-san is only here for her second day so she hasn't seen it. I'm not aware of the extent of joint chief Yuki's strength either. So I would like you to stop being scared. ] 
(Yuki)[I'm sorry. ] 
It's hopeless even if I say so.
(Leia)[Is he, strong?] 
(Yuki)[Yes, inside Weed he would be the strongest. I heard he already won against Special Duty Delille who can be said to be the strongest among his wives. But it's a secret. The information is kept confidential on purpose. Apparently, despite being the strongest, he is supposed to be intermediate. ] 
For some reason, Leia's eyes are sparkling. She is looking at me with a radiant gaze.
Have you misunderstood something?
I'm not a hero.
It makes it hard to wander about your face, are you hiding some information?
I'm curious, but I can't afford to spend time there now.
I immediately enter the conference room.
(Ellis)[Ah, Yuki-san. ] 
Delille and Ellis look back here.
The demoness slowly drinks the tea mixed with the potion while being supported by Ellis.
(Ellis)[It is that this fellow is a stubborn one. Even if she isn't going to die, her chin is crushed, she took an intense blow on her jaw. Still we need to treat her because she's insisting to write her story. ] 
(Yuki)[She is in a hurry to that extent. ] 
(Delille)[Let's do it. We recognized that there isn't any hostile intention. Ellis helped me with the treatment, we ought to treat her carefully or she'll die. ] 
(Yuki)[Okay, in that case. Ellis, stay a little away. I'll use an Extra Heal. ] 
(Ellis)[Yes, please. ] 
Ellis left her side and I quickly use chantless casting.
Normally I'd keep this hidden, but I had to hurry here.
By the way, Extra Heal tended to have really flashy effects and sounds for some reason.
Still, whether it was attack or recovery magic, the effects tended to be pretty flashy anyway though&h.e.l.lip;. Let's think about a way to get rid of those pointless effects somehow.
To any right, the female Demon checks herself over.
(???)[Awesome, without even chanting and yet--an Extra Heal of this level&h.e.l.lip;.. Ah, my jaw is healed.] 
She noticed that her jaw was healed and she is now able to speak. She's putting her hand on her face to make sure.
(Yuki)[Is there any problem with your body?] 
(???)[Yes. It seems I got completely healed. ] 
(Yuki)[No, it doesn't return the blood that was shed and the loss in your physical strength. It's usually better to eat and sleep at once. ] 
(???)[There is no such time!!] 
(Yuki)[Yes, sounds like that. Please drink some tea first of all. Maybe you heard it, but since it comes served mixed with a potion, you will also recover faster. And if you don't speak in a composed manner, we will also be confused. ] 
That said, she returns to her seat quietly.
No matter how hurried she is for a time, you have to explain from the beginning.
If we are told that a huge group of monsters is heading here, we will respond, but the watchmen outside will also report it.
Therefore, we have to listen to the information correctly as to not make any errors in judgment.
(???)[For the time being, the one who a.s.saulted me are hurrying toward this Weed. If you don't plan something about them, the residents will be harmed. ] 
(Yuki)[Very well. Delille, Contact. ] 
She's calling to report for Tori and Riel.
Just to confirm this story.
Ellis put here cup of tea back and sits next to me.
I press here to continue talking over tea.
First of all, let's introduce ourselves.
(Yuki)[Let's start by introducing ourselves. My name is Yuki. I'm in charge of the military as the joint chief of this Dungeon's town. ] 
(Ellis)[As I mentioned earlier, I am Ellis and I serve as the representative of the Entertainment District in this Weed. ] 
(Liliana)[Thank you for your kind greeting. My name is Liliana*Reston] 
Hum?
Liliana*Reston?
Ellis next to me is tilting her neck too.
(Liliana)[[From the country Last. No, you won't understand. I have served there as the Demon King in the country of Demons. ] 
The both of us blew together.
From far away, the all-important Last Boss has come!?
Where's the Hero!!
Ah, she's in the next room!!
But she's weak.
But hey, this Demon King, she's weaker than Delille.
She can't even put a fight against Ellis.
&h.e.l.lip;.I'm confused.
