side:ユキ
正直やっちまった。
何がって?
目の前の惨状がだよ。
そう、俺の目の前に広がるのは只々、屍の山。
そして、一番可哀想なのは死体すら残っていない......。
「おい、ユキ」
「止めてこい」
「俺に死ねと?」
「いや、お前以外は遺体すら残らねえからな。というかお前が原因だろうが!!」
「いやいや、原因というなら敵さんだろ?」
モーブとそんな風に話し合いしていると......。
「「「GOAAAAAAA!!!!」」」
アスリンの泣き声で配下の魔物が能力値UP、敵をちりも残さず食い荒らしている。
ボッ!!
フィーリアが怒りに任せて、戦闘用の槌を振るうと敵さんの頭部を兜ごと粉砕する。
グロイっす。
「......楽に死ねると思わないで」
ヒュンヒュン!!
ラビリスは以前貰った刀を絶妙に扱い、わざと即死しない程度に敵をバラバラにしている。
もう、鬼ですか?
「頼むから、止めてくれ」
そう思いながら、この戦闘の発端を思い出す。
「さて、敵左翼が接近してる。自軍の中央、左翼も真正面からぶつかるつもりだな。まじかよ。この人数差で防戦じゃなくて、真っ向から削り取るつもりか。まったく、セラリアの奴」
セラリアの通信のあと頭を抱えていた。
いや、向こうにぐうの音もださせないつもりなのはわかる。
しかし、これではこちら側にも絶対被害がでる。
まだセラリアの部隊はいい。
問題はエリス達か、誰かが突っ込んで囲まれたりしないだろうな。
...何事も経験だとは思うが、もうちょっとエリス達には指揮官経験を積ませるべきだったかな...。
「どうする? 中央や左翼と同じで突っ込むか? 俺は別にどうでもいいが」
「いや、とりあえず、あえて降伏勧告してみる」
「......相手をおちょくる気か? 普通ならこの人数で相手は負けるとは思わないぞ?」
「まあ、相手の対応を見るのもあるが、時間を引き延ばせば、中央と左翼が相手を叩き潰す。それを見れば俺達の実力も分かるだろう? 下手に全軍ぶつかる必要はないんだよ。こっちはアスリンやフィーリアもいるんだから」
「なるほどな。俺達が相手に馬鹿にされるならされるで、いいわけだ」
「その通り、俺達。そうだな、モーブとライヤと俺で敵に降伏勧告にいこう。ラビリスとカースはすまないが、アスリンとフィーリアを頼む」
「わかったわ」
そうやって俺達3人だけが、敵左翼に接近する。
「指揮官殿と話がしたい!!」
そう声を張り上げる。
「なんだ? 降伏なら受け入れるぞ? それ以外は其方と話す事はない」
敵の中からまあ無駄に豪華な鎧を着た男が現れる。
いらねーだろあの装飾。
「降伏に関してだ。こちらとしては、いきなり私達が降伏するわけにはいかない。すまないが、我が軍の中央と左翼が壊滅した場合、そちらに降伏しようと思う。それまで、にらみ合いを続けてはもらえないか?」
「それを選ばれるのならば仕方ない。我らも応戦するまで。見ての通りゴブリンとスライム、オークだが、一匹はブラッドミノタウロスだ。それなりの損害が出ることを覚悟してほしい」
「......なるほど。待てばブラッドミノタウロスと交戦せずに済むというのだな」
まあ、ある意味合ってるんだけど。
現在二匹ともあれから訓練を重ねて共にレベル105。
アスリン、フィーリアに至っては全員からの過保護意見でレベル150超え。
ナールジアさんは「丁度いいので性能確かめてくださいな」と合金で作った鎧の実践テストができて喜んでいた。
まあ、ラビリスが持っているあの刀をわずか一日で仕上げてしまう能力だ。120人分の装備一式など2週間もあれば簡単にそろえられるだろう。
そんな感じで、あんたの損害で出ない考えは間違っていない。
この意見はナールジアさんは少し不満らしかった「理由は聞けば納得できますが...。式典用とかでしっかり装飾の入ったの作っていいですよね?」とか立派な鎧を作りたいみたいだった。
あれだろうな、職人の意地って奴かね?
さて、相手さんは考え込んでるな。
もうひと押しかね?
「返答を聞きたい!! このまま戦うのか、それとも睨みあいを続けるのか!!」
「......よかろう。そちらの提案を呑もうではないか。しかし、私達が何もしていないと思われるのも面白くない。ここでこのまま舌戦という形を取りたい」
「その通り。それならば、我らの功が認められるだろう。ただの睨みあいで他方が決着して、そちらがこちらに降るより、私が説得したということの方が好ましい」
ま、そりゃそうだろうな。
まあ千対百の試合ですからな。
相手の総兵力は約5千。
普通なら勝負にもならない。普通ならな。
「しかし、意外だな。貴様がユキか?」
「そうだが? 何か?」
「いや、貴様の弟は手が付けられないほどの猛者だというのに、貴様は兄の癖に戦いもせず、勝敗が決着するまで待って、そのあと降伏とは全く情けないものだ。いや、ある意味貴様が弟を言い含めてくれて助かった。あの猛者をこの戦場に送ればそれなりの善戦は出来ただろうに。わざわざ、アルシュテールの護衛に送るとはな」
相手さんは俺がバカな事をしたように見えて笑いながら言ってくる。
「アルシュテールを守れば交渉が上手くいくと思ったのか? 残念だったな、アレはこのダンジョンの攻略が済めばすぐに引きずり降ろされる。まったく、セラリアの脅しに屈しおって。そんなもの適当に魔王に責任を擦り付ければいいことよ。馬鹿な事をしたな、このダンジョンと大聖堂をつなぐとは...」
「どういう意味だ?」
「解らんか? やはり弟は凄腕だが、お前は馬鹿なようだな!! 簡単だ、我らが攻めてダンジョンを落とせば、どこにも情報は漏れない!! 普通なら遠征しなければいけないのだが、わざわざつないでくれて助かったぞ!!」
「こちらがロシュールにすでに連絡を取っているとは思わないのか?」
「ありえんな!! ちゃんと連絡が行っているならなぜ、わざわざセラリアが出てくる!! 使者を送ってつなぐのが普通であろう。しかも、この少人数での我らとの戦。独断だろう? あの戦馬鹿の姫のことだ、上手くいった時の名誉に目が眩んだのだろうさ」
そんな呼んだ暁には、生き残った奴らの住処とか小ダンジョンへの職業斡旋しないといけないじゃん。
「しかし、貴様もつくづく馬鹿で、愚かだな。周りには冒険者を数人雇うだけ。後方にはブラットミノタウロス以外はゴブリン、スライム、少し強くてオークか。そんな戦力でよくよく挑む気になったものだ」
そして、ある一点で目が留まる。
「しかもだ、こんな戦場に幼子まで連れてきてからに。まあ、見た目は可愛らしいな。将来は食えばさぞ美味かろう」
俺? 俺が何?
二人の泣き声の様な叫びに、魔物達が呼応して雄叫びをあげて突っ込んでくる。
「ちょっ!?」
「はっ!! やはり、油断させてこちらを叩く気だな!! だが甘い!! そんなのはお見通しよ!! 弓隊構え!! 盾隊敵は少ない、しっかり防いでみせろ!!」
「「応!!」」
敵がしっかりと指揮官に答える。
「「「ぴきっーーーー!!(アスリンとフィーリアを泣かすなんていい度胸じゃねえか!!)」」」
スライム隊の一斉砲丸タックル。
スラきちに色々個人技教えてたら、周りにも教えてたらしい。
「なっ!? 馬鹿な!! 弓隊放て!!」
それなりに優秀な指揮官ではあるらしい、この不可思議な状態でも指示できるのは凄いとおもうよ。
そして、指示通りに弓隊は俺の頭を通り越して、まだ動き始めたばかりの右翼本体に矢の雨が降り注ぐはずだった...。
「「「ぴきっーーーー!!(矢で嬢ちゃん達を狙うたぁ、腐ってるな!!)」」」
そう、空中に自分の体を広げて、飛び道具対策をしているスライム部隊がいる。
無論、飛道具どころか、そのスライムの防衛を突破することも厳しいだろうな。
「は? あ、あぎゃぁあぁああ!!」
目の前の敵さんが乗っている馬ごと足が吹き飛んだ。
そして、そのまま敵の中へ駆け出してく。
「お、おい!! フィーリア!!」
「ゴブ!! (こっちは任せといてくださいっす!!)」
「いや、止めろよ!!」
「ごふー。(あ、それは無理っす。泣く子には勝てねえっす)」
敵は殆ど対応できていない、最初にとびこんだスライム隊が暴れに暴れているようだ。
「あ、足が!! 私の足があぁああぁあぁぁ!!」
あ、生きてたのね?
もうどうでもよくなってたわ。
「......あら? 足だけでは足りないかしら?」
ヒュン。
そんな音がすると、叫んでた指揮官の両腕がまずは肘から先が落ちる。
「ぎゃぁあぁぁああ!! 腕がっ!?」
「...少し残しておいたのが不満なのね? 全部切り落としてあげるわ」
それから完全に肩から腕が切断される。
「......そのまま死ぬまで苦しみなさいな」
ラビリスはそのまま刀を納刀しないで、敵がいる方向に足を進める。
そして、次々に敵の手足が吹き飛んでいく。
「...苦しみなさい!! 私達の大事なものを侮辱したのだから!!」
ラビリスにしては珍しい程大きな声がこちらまで届く。
これが、この地獄の始まりである。
「アスリン大丈夫だから!! 俺はあんな事言われても気にしないから!!」
「ダメでずぅぅ!! お兄ちゃんを馬鹿にする人は悪い人なんです!! うわぁああぁあん!!」
まず止めに入らないといけないのは、魔物の戦意を異常に高めているアスリン。
「いや、ほら。俺だって学校でもみんなから馬鹿にされてるよ? 変な人だーってさ?」
「違うんですぅ!! みんな本気でいってないでずぅ!! でもあの人たちはお兄ちゃんを本気で馬鹿にじでだんでずぅ!! ゆるぜない!! ひっく、えぐっ!!」
アスリンが泣くたびに魔物の雄叫びが上がる。
『ちょっと、お兄さん!? なにが起こってるんですか!? 魔物たちがいう事聞かないんですけど!!』
ラッツから、あわてた様子で連絡が届く。
『中央もユキの方から、フィーリアやラビリスを筆頭に魔物がなだれ込んできて蹂躙しているわ。何があったの!? まさか、アスリンが!!』
『ちょ!! お兄さん、アスリンは無事なんですか!?』
「落ち着けアスリンは無事だどこも怪我がない。でもちょっと驚いて泣いてしまった。それで魔物の気が高ぶってる。降伏した相手はなるべく戦場から遠ざけろ!! アスリンを宥めるまで、降伏してる状態なんかきにしないぞ!!」
『......なるほど。フィーリアやラビリスも激昂しているから、ユキが馬鹿にでもされたのかしら?』
「セラリアお姉ぢゃん。お兄ちゃんが、馬鹿にされたんでずぅ!! 無能だって!! 何も考えてないって!! ゆるぜないですぅ!! お兄ちゃんば馬鹿じゃないです、私達を助けてぐれだんでず!! 優しいんでず!! お腹いっぱい、皆が笑ってくれるように頑張ってるお兄ちゃんが馬鹿で愚かじゃないんでずぅぅ!!」
無線の声が聞こえてたのか、アスリンがセラリアに向かってそう答える。
どう宥めたものか......。
『......ユキはしっかりアスリンを宥めてなさい。私達も敵を殲滅する!! もう降伏も認めない!! 相手はこちらの思想を笑う愚か者であった!! もう慈悲などいらない!! ...人の旦那を馬鹿にするとはいい度胸じゃない!!』
『こちらエリス、了解しました。これ以降の降伏は認めず敵を殲滅します!!』
『あの普段穏やかな、アスリンがこれだけ泣くって事はよほどの事を言ったんでしょうね。...ああ、想像しただけで頭に来ますね。...手加減なんてしません』
『アスリンを泣かせるなんて!! 僕は許さないよ!!』
『あ、まちなさい!! さっきから突出するなって!! ええい、今度は魔物の部下はいないのに!! 私はリエルを追いかけるわ!!』
『...ミリー私も行くわ』
『私もです!!』
ああ、全員殲滅体制にはいったよ。
結局、アスリンが落ち着いたのは敵本隊中央が落ちるとほぼ同時だった。
Side: Yuki
Honestly, I made it in time.
What, you say?
There was a terrible sight in front of me.
Yes, in front of my eyes was a pile of corpses.
And the worst thing was that the remains of the corpses would....
(Mauve)[Hey, Yuki. ] 
(Mauve)[Stop it. ] 
(Yuki)[Do you want to die as well?] 
(Mauve)[No, they're all corpse so no one except but you would bother about their remains. Besides, it can be said you even caused everything!!] 
(Yuki)[No no, the enemies are the ones who caused it?] 
When I discussed with Mauve in such a manner......
[[[GOAAAAAAA!!!!] ] ] 
Under the cry of Aslin, the recently powered up monsters devoured the corpses until only dust remained.
Boh!2)!
Philia entrusted herself to anger, and with her hammer, she crushed her enemy's head when she hit the helmet.
Gross.
(Labiris)[...... Don't think you can die easily. ] 
Hyun hyun!3)!
Labiris perfectly handled the Katana she had received, she purposely dismembered the enemies so as to not let them die instantly.
Mou, were you a demon4)?
(Yuki)[Please I'm asking you, stop. ] 
Thinking that reminded me of the beginning of the battle.
(Yuki)[The enemy's left wing is approaching. Our center and left wings had already crashed with the front. Seriously. Against this number of people it should be a defensive battle not a head-on confrontation. Good grief Seraria. ] 
I was helpless at Seraria's communication.
No, I understood that you couldn't let the other side stand around.
But this action would absolutely increase the damage on our side.
Seraria's unit was still good.
My problem was more with Ellis, there's a chance that she would be surrounded after they crash onto the enemies.
... I think everything is about experience, but should I have made Ellis and the others gain a little more commander experience or... ?
[What do we do? Do we crash as the center and left wing did? I don't care either way. ] 
(Yuki)[No, for now I'll ask them to surrender. ] 
[...... Do you want to tease your opponents? Normally, they should think that it's normal for them do defeat us, don't you know?] 
(Yuki)[Well, given a little time, when they see their center and left wing getting crush. Won't they know about our abilities? There is no need to kill the whole army. And also because Aslin and Philia are here. ] 
[I understand. That you don't solely want to make fun of our enemies. ] 
(Yuki)[That's right. So Mauve, Raija and I will go recommend surrendering to our enemies. Sorry Labiris and Curse, but I would like you to take care of Aslin and Philia. ] 
(Labiris)[Got it. ] 
Only the three of us were now on our way to approach the enemy's left wing.
(Yuki)[I want to talk with your commander!!] 
I raised my voice.
(Ritea's commander)[What is it? I will accept if you surrender? Other than that, don't talk to me. ] 
From among the enemy's formation, a man with a pointlessly extravagant armor appeared.
He didn't need that decoration.
(Yuki)[It's about surrendering. As we are here, we can't afford to surrender. Sorry, but only if the center and left wing of our army are destroyed would we then think about it. Until then, can we just keep from fighting?] 
(Yuki)[It cannot be helped if that is your choice. We will fight back too. As you can see, we have goblins, slimes, and even one is a blood minotaur. Please be prepared to bear some damages. ] 
(Ritea's commander)[...... I see. If we wait, we won't have to fight against the blood minotaur. ] 
Well, that meaning worked too.
Both of them now were level 105 since they trained.
Ellis and the others averaged level 110. My group of monsters averaged level 80. The volunteers were the lowest at around level 40.
Naruja-san said[They are good, so please check their performance. ] . I was pleased that I could test the armor made of alloy.
Well, it was made from the same ability that created Labiris's powerful Katana in just one day. When I ordered for 120 people, they easily managed to arrange them in two weeks.
With that setup, the idea that we wouldn't receive a loss wasn't a mistake.
Naruja-san seemed a bit dissatisfied with my opinion since she had said. [When I hear your reason I can be convinced but... For ceremonies and the like, isn't one firmly decorated better?] she wanted to make fine armor.
Had it something to do with the craftsman's pride I guess?
At that time, our opponents were still thinking.
Should I give them a push?
(Yuki)[I want to hear your reply!! Do you want to fight or continue glaring at each other this way!!] 
(Ritea's commander)[...... Very well. Let's accept your proposal. However, it's not fun if we don't do anything. So let make it a verbal war instead. ] 
(Ritea's commander)[Exactly. In that case, our merits will be recognized. It is better to persuade than just getting stuck here and choose an ordinary ending where we just glare at each other. ] 
Well, that might be the case.
It is a match with a thousand against a hundred anyway.
Here, we were about 350.
Normally it wouldn't even be a match. Normally that is.
(Ritea's commander)[But that's surprising. Are you Yuki?] 
(Yuki)[That would be me? What about it?] 
(Ritea's commander)[No, even though your younger brother is a fierce fighter, you are just a heartless older brother who can only wait until the end of the match so that you can surrender miserably. No, in a way I have to thank you for your younger brother. Because if someone of his level was in the battlefield, that wouldn't even be a fight. Fortunately, you purposely send him to guard Alshtail. ] 
My opponent laughed, having said something stupid.
(Ritea's commander)[Don't you think that the Alshtail's negotiations would have gone smoother without protection? That's your bad luck. But I will capture this Dungeon as soon as I take you down. Indeed, I won't give in to the threat of Seraria. How suitable it was to lay the blame on the Demon King. You were foolish. To think that you connected your Dungeon to our cathedral... ] 
(Yuki)[What do you mean?] 
(Ritea's commander)[Don't you understand? Your younger brother is awesome after all. But you are stupid!! That's easy, if we take over the Dungeon, the news won't leak anywhere!! Normally, we'd have to go on an expedition, but you relieved us by making this unexpected connection!!] 
(Yuki)[Don't you think that we have already contacted Roshuru?] 
(Ritea's commander)[How charming!! If you had properly communicated, Seraria would have already appeared here!! It would be normal to dispatch a messenger in this regard. Besides, to battle against us with these small number of people. Perhaps was it your judgment? Well, if it was this idiot Princess, she would have been blinded with honor. ] 
If I called them out, I'd have to find a place for the survivors to reside in, and also to divide them between work or the small Dungeon.
(Ritea's commander)[But you aren't just an idiot, you're foolish. You just went around hiring a couple of adventurers. And what else, some slimes, goblins, and a slightly strong blood minotaur? What was on your mind when you decided to face use with such fighting power. ] 
Then, his eyes caught on something.
(Ritea's commander)[Besides, you even brought infants to the battlefield. Well, they look delicious. They are good prospect that'd surely taste well in the future. ] 
Me? What of me?
The two girls raised a shout, similar to a crying voice and the monsters hailed in concert with a war cry.
(Yuki)[Wait!?] 
(Ritea's commander)[Ha!! Likewise, I have the urges to carelessly strike!! However, it's too bad!! Look at those prospects!! Bow squad, prepare!! The enemies have only some scarce s.h.i.+elds, they can't stop you!!] 
[[Ou!!] ] 
The enemy commander quickly answered.
[[[Piku----!!(Do not make Aslin and Philia cry!!] ] ] 
Simultaneously, a shotgun-like tackle was done by the slime squad.
Since I taught various skills to Surakichi-san, he had taught them to the others.
(Ritea's commander)[What!? Foolis.h.!.+ Bow corpse, release!!] 
I think he was a great commander, it's wonderful to still be able to instruct command in that mysterious state.
And as he instructed, the bowmen shot and a rain of arrow poured on our heads...
[[[Piku----!!(Are you rotten, you just shot arrows to little girls!!)] ] ] 
Yes, they were the slimes who expanded their bodies in the air as a countermeasure to the arrows.
Of course, it was difficult to break those slime's defense. Not in the least with an arrow.
[Huh? Aagiyaaaaa!!] 
One of the enemies was blown off his horse.
Then, she rushed into the enemies.
(Yuki)[He, hey!! Philia!!] 
(Steve)[Gobu!! (Don't worry, leave it to me!!)] 
(Yuki)[No, don't!!] 
(Steve)[Gofuu. (Oh, that's impossible. I can't win against a crying child. )] 
The enemies were almost unable to respond, the slime unit that seemed to be rampaging.
(Ritea's commander)[Ah, my feet!! My feet gaaaaaaa!!] 
Ah, he was alive?
That was even better for me.
(Labiris)[...... Ara? Were your feet not enough?] 
Hyun.6)
When the two arms of the commander fell from his elbows, the commander's cry echoed.
[KiiiyaaAAaaaAAA!! My arms!?] 
(Labiris)[... Are you dissatisfied with only one part of your arms? I can arrange that, let's cut the whole thing. ] 
Then, his arm was completely cut off from his shoulder.
(Labiris)[...... You'll keep suffering until you die. ] 
Labiris, with her katana, advanced towards her opponent and slashed at his leg.
The limbs of the enemy were blown away one after another.
(Labiris)[... Suffer!! Because you insulted our important one!!] 
An unusual big voice came out from Labiris.
This was the beginning of this h.e.l.l.
(Yuki)[Aslin, it's okay!! I don't mind even if they said such a thing!!] 
(Aslin)[That's no good!! People who mock onii-chan are bad people!! Uwaaaa!!] 
The first thing I had to do was to stop Aslin who abnormally raised the fighting spirit of the monsters.
(Yuki)[No, here. I was also made a fool by everyone in school? They were just some funny people?] 
(Aslin)[That's different!! Everyone wasn't serious about it!! But those people are seriously making fun of onii-chan. ! I won't let it pa.s.s!! Hikku, eguu!!] 
Every time Aslin cry, a roar from the monster arose.
(Lutz){Hey onii-san!? What is going on!? The monsters won't listen to what I say!!} 
The voice of the panicked Lutz reached out to me.
(Seraria){From the center Yuki, the monsters are trampling down on the enemies and are running in the direction of Philia and Labiris. What happened!? No way, Aslin!!} 
(Lutz){Hey!! Onii-san, are you and Aslin safe!?} 
(Yuki)[Calm down, Aslin here is safe and has no injury in the slightest. But I was a little astonished when she cried. That's why the feelings of the monsters are rising. Keep the opponents who surrendered away from the battlefield as much as possible!! Their safety isn't absolute until I appease Aslin!!] 
(Seraria){...... I understand. Are Labiris and Philia also enraged that Yuki has been made a fool?} 
(Aslin)[Seraria onee-jyan7). They mayde fun of onii-chan!! Unforgivable!! I can't think about anything!! Don't let them go!! Onii-chan isn't an idiot, please help me correct them!! Don't be gentle!! He is trying to make everyone smile, onii-chan isn't an idiot! He isn't a fool!!] 
When she heard the voices coming from the radio, Aslin answered Seraria.
What should I do to calm her...
(Seraria){..... Yuki, you firmly appease Aslin. We will also annihilate our enemies!! No more surrendering!! The other party was a fool to laugh at you!! No need for mercy anymore!! .... It's not good to mock a person's husband!!} 
(Ellis){Ellis here, I understand. After this, I will annihilate the enemies without admitting their surrender!!} 
(Seraria){You are surprisingly calm after hearing Aslin cry so much.... Oh, just by imagining it, I get mad.... I won't be going easy. } 
(Riel){Don't make Aslin cry!! I won't forgive you!!} 
(Millie){Oh, wait!! She went all-in just like she did before!! But this time she has no monsters with her!! I will chase Riel!!} 
(Kaya){... Millie I'm coming too. } 
(Tori){Me too!!} 
Oh, everyone turned the extermination engine on.
In the end, Aslin settled when the enemy center fell.
