第108掘:事情説明と夫の故郷
事情説明と夫の故郷
side:セラリア
「......というわけで何とかご協力いただけないかと思いまして」
「セラリア。ユキさんも反省しているようだし......」
「そ、そうじゃ。若い内はこれぐらい勢いがあっても仕方がない」
アーリア姉さまとクソ親父がこれで怒るのをやめろと言ってくる。
「そ、そうです。勇者様の事情も聴けばどう考えても仕方の無い事。多くの人が助けられるのです。戦争を減らすという目的がある私達にとっては願ってないこと」
リテア代表のアルシュテールも同じように言ってくる。
「ふぅ。シェーラ、勇者様はともかくここに厄介事を持ち込んだお姫様はどうするべきかしら?」
「首を刎ねて国に送り付ければよろしいかと」
シェーラはニコニコ顔ですぐに返答する。
「こ、こらっ、滅多なことを言うでない。そうなればランクスが挙兵してここに押し寄せるぞ」
「そうですわ。ユキさんやアスリン達が襲われたとはいえ、それはやりすぎ......」
シェーラの身内ガルツ王族もシェーラを説得しようとするが......。
「あら、冷静ですよ? 首を送り付ければ否でも挙兵せざるを得ません。それを完全に粉砕し、勇者様の伝手で属国3国に謀反をおこさせ、孤立させ、一気に王城を落とします。建前も問題ありません。我が夫に無礼を働いたから首を刎ねた。十分です。周りが騒ぎ立てても、ここの支援を...と言えばなにも言えないでしょう。そもそも、他国の式典とも言うべき場で、武器の携帯をわざわざ認めた上で、街中での犯行。救いようが元からありません」
一気に身内を黙らせる。末女。
シェーラの様子を見ればわかるけど、ユキの妻達。
つまり、ダンジョン、ウィードの最高権限者組は完全に戦争推しである。
一度力を示す必要がありそうだ。
「や、やめてくれ!! あのクソ姫の首を刎ねれば強制徴兵で戦力を水増しするに決まってる!! それじゃ、俺が世話になった人達に被害がいく、それだけはやめてくれ!!」
勇者様はそうやって頭を下げる。
彼の境遇は聞いたので、彼自身に怒りはない。
「勇者様のお気持ちは分かりますが、これからどうなさるおつもりですが? こっちで身柄を拘束したあの馬鹿姫は貴方が暴れて、自分を助けに来ると、勇者がいる国にこんな事をしてタダですむと思うのかと吠えていますが?」
ルルアが勇者様に対して受け答えをする。
ん......そう言えば髪も同じ色、瞳も。
ユキの故郷は......私達が知らない...大陸だったはず。
私がそんな事を考えている内にルルア達の許可を得て、勇者様はこれからの行動を話し始めている。
「今回は俺はクソびっち姫を返してもらう交換条件として、ここを襲わず帰る事にします。そうして、俺は怒りに燃えたことにして、戦力を厳選。下手に国民に被害が及ばないように、俺が選別してこちらへ攻め寄せます」
「なるほど、戦力を集めずとも勝てると説得するわけですね。今回の撤退は仕方がないということで。そして、戦力を厳選......つまり、国王および王女支持派の戦力をこちらに固めるわけですね?」
「はい、それで少数戦力で王城を制圧し、こちらに来た戦力は俺が全て潰します」
「......ふむ。なかなかいい作戦だとは思いますが、それでは勇者様が汚名を被ることになりますが? 謀反人ということで」
「別にそんな事はどうでもいいです。俺一人ならどうとでも生きていけますからね。なんとか世話になった人達にはいい暮らしとまではいきませんが、安全に健やかに過ごしてほしいだけですよ」
「そ、それは......」
「まってくれ。タイキ君をこちらに引き入れればそれ以上の価値がある」
「タイキ君はこっちの世界に来てから、ほぼ個人で動いていたんだ。その行動力だけでも賞賛ものだし、他にも自分で商会を作ってお金を作っているって言ったよな?」
「ええ、石鹸とか。まあ俺の世界の物ですが。紙とかも作ってますよ。パルプが一番めんどくさかったですけど」
「そこだ、俺は色々と急ぎ足で、DPで生産してたから、こっちで生産するって事が後手なんだ。魔道具関連ではザーギス......四天王の一人をこき使って作ってるがそれだけ。だから、そのノウハウを教えて欲しい。いいか?」
「どうだろうラッツ、エリス?」
「うーん、確かにあの紙の生産は資料しかありませんから手探りの状態ですし......」
「石鹸やシャンプーもいまだに生産は出来てませんから、その作成方法が分かればさらに雇用ができますし、交易も幅が広がると思います」
「そして、タイキ君がこちらに協力してくれるなら、共同で色々開発もはかどると思うんだよ」
「ああ、それは是非お願いしたいですね。色々再現したいものもありますし」
「だろ。俺も色々やってはいるが、元の知識のあるやつがいなくて色々困ってたんだよ」
「ああ、わかります。言っても伝わらないって悲しいですよね。やっぱり鳥野さんも色々あったんですね」
私はそこで夫たちの会話を切った。
「ちょっと待ってくれる? いえ、もう勇者様の支援はOKでしょう。そんな事より「トリノ」ってなに? ユキの事をそう呼んでたわよね勇者様?」
「へ? いや、鳥野さんは日本人ですよね?」
ほほう。
勇者様と同じ故郷ね。
「なるほど。貴方は偽名を使っていたのね? つまり、異世界人でいいのかしら?」
「色々訳があるんだ!!」
後ろで他の妻達もうなずいている。
「でもね。それでも、いや、だからこそ怒りたくなることってあるのよ」
「ええ、貴方はそうやって素直に反省してくれる。そしてそれが本当に反省していると分かるわ。でも、こればかりはしっかり説明を聞いたあとで......」
「あとで?」
他の妻達に目配せをすると全員が頷く。
「絞ってあげましょう。凝ってり一滴も残さず。それぐらいの我儘はいいわよね。嘘ついてたんだし、また2週間ばかり、お休みして、一日中ね」
「そろそろ真剣に首輪を考えるべきですか?」
「く、首輪!? ユキさんに!?」
いや、寝ても絞るから。
便利よね、リリーシュ様の加護って後でお礼に行きましょう。
「えーと、鳥野さん? 一言いいですか」
状況を察したのか、勇者様がユキに声をかける。
「爆発しろ。寧ろ爆発して四散してしまえ!! 俺がどれだけ苦労してると思ってるんだ!!」
そうやって勇者様が騒いでいると、今の話で喜んで飛び出した小さい影が夫に飛びつく。
「お兄ちゃん、大丈夫私達は優しくしてあげます!!」
「ふふふ、夜が楽しみだわ」
そうやって微笑んでいると、またしても勇者様の顔が歪む。
「さ、最低だ!! お巡りさーん!! こっちです!! ロリコンがー!! ロリコンが、真正のロリコンがここに居まーす!!」
「それだけはやめてくれー!! 無実ですお巡りさん!! 仕方なかったんです!!」
夫が必死に叫んで否定しようとしているけど、滅多に見られるものじゃないからしばらくほっときましょう。
さーて、今日はお風呂でかな?
Hisshou Dungeon Unei Houhou Chapter 108
Chapter 108 - Explanations about the circ.u.mstances, and their husband's homeland
Side: Seraria
(Taiki)[-And that's why I think working with you all is my best option right now. ] 
(Aria)[Seraria. Yuki-san seems to be reflecting, so... ] 
(King Roch.e.l.le)[U-Umu.. I think, that this much trouble is to be expected of the young.] 
Aria ane-sama and my kuso-oyaji are asking me to calm down and forgive them. Hmph.
(Alshtail)[Th-that's right. Things couldn't be helped if you consider the Hero's circ.u.mstances. In the end, lives were saved and the scale of conflicts was reduced due to his actions. Though different from us, I think that, in his own way, the Hero is trying his best to reach the same goals we are] 
...It seems Ritea's current Holy Woman, Alshtail, also feels that way.
(Seraria)[Fuu. Shera, what about Rankus' Princess? ...What are your thoughts?] 
(Shera)[What about her? ...Should I send her severed head back home as a 'thank you gift' for tonight's troubles, perhaps?] 
Shera replied, smiling.
(King Galtz)[He-hey, Shera! Stop saying such reckless things! Think about it! Should their Princess actually be harmed, Rankus would absolutely retaliate against us then!] 
(Teak)[...I agree. Even though Yuki and the others were most certainly attacked by the Hero because of Rankus' Princess, such a response is just going too far... ] 
And from Galtz, Shera's family tried desperately to calm her down and remind her of the reality of the situation, however--
(Shera)[Ara, 'collect myself'? Keep calm and remember the bigger picture? ...Are you serious? What would they even do were we to actually send back that wretch's head, fight us? So what? Let them try then. Regardless, it doesn't matter. Rankus' royal family could easily be held responsible for instigating aggressions against our three countries on neutral foreign soil, that alone justifies our wiping them off the face of the continent. Besides, this incident would give the Hero just cause to openly rebel and set the stage for a civil war even if we don't do anything. The only things those fools can do is wait for their deaths, isolated and alone. As for preserving our honor and public reputation? It is a non-issue as that Princess both committed an indisputable crime in a foreign country AND attempted to harm my husband. Both of which deserve only one proper response-Death! Enough. Even if someone were to raise a complaint, what could they even say-or do-against our power-Nothing. In the first place, to bring in weapons and incite open violence in the midst of a festival is already an unpardonable crime! It's already far too late to save her head. ] 
With such harsh words from Galtz's youngest princess, the room was overcome with a cold and heavy silence. No one could say a word against her after hearing all that.
A proper mindset to have as one of Yuki's wives. Well said. A very appropriate response indeed. But, Shera aside, it's the same for the other wives as well.
In other words, the highest authority in this Dungeon, the Country of Weed, demand blood and will accept nothing short of war itself now.
This is the perfect chance to demonstrate our power! Just one more push, and Rankus will make the perfect sacrifice for that... No, let's use this as a chance to properly train and hone the strength of Weed itself.
(Taiki)[St-stop this!! If you harm this d.a.m.ned Princess, war would be inevitable! And never mind your own losses, but all the people I spent so long trying keep safe and OUT of harm would just get pointlessly dragged into the fighting, so please reconsider! I'm begging you!] 
The Hero once again lowers his head, pleading that we stay our blades.
As we now understand his circ.u.mstances, I myself hold no ill will or blame towards the Hero personally, and it's likely the same for the others as well. But, even so, to ask us to simply let this go is....
(Lulu)[Hero-sama. I understand your feelings and position, but what are you planning to do then? She said it herself didn't she? That if we release that foolish Princess from our custody and allow her return-she declared that she would bring the full weight of Rankus' military, including you as their Hero, down against us. What then!?] 
Lulu coldly asked, demanding the Hero's response. Honestly I didn't think Lulu would get this angry. Still. It warms my heart to see that all of Yuki's wives are of one heart and mind.
Still, that politeness of his....This Hero somewhat reminds me of my dear husband. And even more than that, he has the same color hair and eyes as well.
My Dear's homeland... We don't really know anything about it... At the very least, it's probably not even on this continent.
While I was busy with such thoughts, the Hero managed to get Lulu to hear him out. About Rankus and his plans going forward.
(Taiki)[It's like this... For now, I'll return with the Princess under the outward promise that 'we won't retaliate against you'. It won't do much, but it'll buy us some time. Then, I'll act as if I'm completely outraged by the whole thing and lead the charge myself. From there, I can work to maneuver the conflict and damage as far away from the citizens as I can. We won't be able to completely avoid fighting, but..] 
(Seraria)[Indeed, if we can display our power with a decisive rout against your forces, then there'll be no choice but to surrender. More importantly... what will you do about arranging our opponents then? I a.s.sume you intend to use the forces supporting Rankus' King and Princess?] 
(Taiki)[Yes, this way I can take the Royal Castle with a small and elite strikeforce while everyone else is busy fighting you here. It kinda dumps all the trouble onto you, but I think this method will net us the highest success in the end.] 
(Seraria)[......Fumu. No, it's a fairly decent strategy. However, as a Hero you won't just suffer disgrace with this plan, you'll likely be branded a traitor. ] 
(Taiki)[Honestly, I don't really care about all that. As long as I can stay true to myself, it's all good. Besides, I don't wanna be someone who gets sheltered like some caged bird, or used like some mindless p.a.w.n. I just want a peaceful life where I can protect what I can protect, that's all. ] 
(Taiki)[Well, that's... ] 
(Yuki)[Please wait. I think we'd gain more in the long run if we can get Taiki on our side by helping him. ] 
(Yuki)[Taiki, you've had to do everything and struggle all on your own since coming to this world. That's worth something. At the very least, I think it's worth helping you out. Besides, didn't you say that you started your own business too?] 
(Taiki)[Yup. Soap, actually. Well, it's mostly just stuff based on things from my world. Like paper...which was a total a.s.s pain to manufacture from scratch by the way.] 
(Yuki)[I see. Well, using DP, I'm able to quickly produce things in bulk actually. As for magic tools I have Zergis, one of the Big Four, working his hardest to make them. What I'm asking from you... is for your product knowledge and manufacturing techniques. ] 
(Yuki)[And what do you two think? Lutz, Ellis?] 
(Ellis)[Hmm, I see. Paper production is an important consideration, since our current methods are certainly lacking...] 
(Lutz)[Since shampoo and soap haven't been produced here yet, and if we can hire people once we do learn how, then both our trade and economy will only grow. So I'm all for it~ ] 
(Yuki)[Right. If we can come to an understanding and cooperate, then such joint ventures will only help us out in the future. ] 
(Taiki)[Yeah, sounds good. I'd like to get something going with you ASAP. I mean, there's a lot of other stuff I wanna try making here after all!] 
(Yuki)[You know. I tried my hand at making various things myself, but without the knowledge... things, didn't turn out so well for me.] 
(Taiki)[Ah, I getcha. It sucks when you're outta the loop on things. But Torino-san, you'd know all about that too, right? Having experienced this and that already, I mean. ] 
That's when I interrupted my dear husband's conversation.
(Seraria)[Can you spare a moment? Ah, no. It's not about our cooperating with you. That's already fine. What I want to know about is why Hero-sama called my dear husband 'Torino'. You are aware that his name is 'Yuki', are you not?] 
(Taiki)[Huh? No, but Torino-san is j.a.panese isn't he?] 
I see.
My Dear and the Hero come from the same homeland then.
(Seraria)[So, you were using an alias. In other words, you are also someone called from another world then?] 
(Yuki)[Look, things were complicated! And there were various circ.u.mstances, so...!!] 
Behind me, my fellow wives nod in agreement.
(Seraria)[But, you see...Keeping secrets. Yes, because you were keeping secrets. I'm quite displeased, my Dear. ] 
(Seraria)[Yes, I want you to honestly reflect on this from now on. And I trust that you most certainly will. However, once we've heard a proper and thorough explanation. Afterwards....] 
(Yuki)[...Afterwards?] 
All of the other wives nod when I give them a certain wink.
(Seraria)[We'll wring every last drop out of you, of course. There won't be anything left, but you can put up with that level of selfishness, can't you? You lied to us after all, so you'll have to service us for 2 weeks straight. Without rest....Every moment of every day.] 
(Lutz)[Should we seriously think about collar play then?] 
(Millie)[A, co-collar!? On Yuki-san!?] 
No, I'll make sure to squeeze you dry even if you do end up falling asleep, my Dear!.
Divine blessings are truly wonderful and convenient things! I must remember to pay my proper respects to Lilith-sama later.
(Taiki)[Eto, Torino-san? ...Mind if I say a few things now?] 
Hero-sama, who was quietly observing the situation, finally called out to my Dear .
(Taiki)[...Die. Seriously. Effing, die!! I mean, what the h.e.l.l, you lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d!? Think about the c.r.a.p I had to go through until now and STILL have nothing to show for it! Dammit!!] 
While Hero-sama was busy ranting, several little silhouettes, who were eagerly listening to us up to now, suddenly launched themselves onto my Dear.
(Aslin)[Onii-chan, it's fine, we'll take of you for sure!!] 
(Labiris)[...Fufufu, I can't wait ~.] 
However, seeing my Dear smiling at them, the Hero's face once again became unsightly.
(Taiki)[The Wo-worst!! Police!! This way!! There's the criminal right there! Lolicon! Caught red handed in the act!! Arrest and throw his a.s.s in jail!!] 
(Yuki)[Please, stop it!! I'm innocent, officer!! I had no choice!! I swear!!] 
My dear husband is desperately screaming and denying the Hero's words... Really, it's such a rare sight to see my Dear getting all fl.u.s.tered like this. Let's just enjoy it for a while longer, shall we?
Now then, how about going a bout or two in the bath?
