Black haired wise man Chiyuki

　We are away from the elven city of Alsaidia and are at the fort of Carthakhov.
　We plan to sortie from here to meet the enemy.　
　A huge dog is in front of me.
　It's a beast called "Kuusi" (fairy dog).
　The dog is an elf's dog.
　Incidentally, the dogs in this world are also beasts whose ancestors are wolves.
　In other words, they are the former members of Ferion's family.
　And dog is a generic term for any beast that is no longer part of the wolf's family or its subordinate beasts.
　The most famous of these would be the dogs of Gypsial.
　They are the figures of those who once worshipped Ferion and have changed their servants.

''It appears that the serpents have begun their march, Chiyuki-sama.

　The elf attached to us reports to us.
　She was sent by the Elf Queen to support us.
　The elf dog (Cousy) was kept by her and was on a scouting mission.
　The serpent princes would be dealt with by Alfos and Nia, so the elves would have to deal with the orcs and goblins.
　And we would help the elves and rescue the enslaved goblins.
　The elf magically projects the view that the elf dog (Cousy) saw.

'That's the orc boar cavalry (Boariders). That's quite a lot of them. I wonder if we're in the clear?　I don't think the elven horsemen are going to be able to withstand the assault of the boar horsemen (boar riders). ......

　The elven cavalry are the unicorn cavalry of Oleiad (Unicorn Riders) and the Kelluneian cavalry of the fairy knights (Elfin Knights) (Riders).
　Both are bow cavalry and are weak in defense.
　Also, the elves shouldn't have any heavy infantry that are strong in defense.

''Surely not with such a large army ....... ''Uh, what should we do?''
Hey!

　I can't help but pout.
　Apparently, she didn't expect them to come with such a large army.
　Nao looks at her with jit eyes as well as Lino at Shirone who is with her.

'It should be fine, Chimaki. That's why the Elyos guys told us to work with the dwarves.

　Kuna, the silver witch, calmly explains.
　She seems to understand what the gods of Elyos meant when they told her to cooperate with the dwarves.
　Somehow she seems to know the gods of Elyos very well.
　Then I hope you'll remember my name. My name is not Chimaki, it's Chiyuki!
　No matter how many times she says it, she doesn't seem to be willing to remember it.
　Behind her are a group of dwarven warriors and a cat lady.
　Apparently, she seems to represent the dwarves.

The best way to do that is to have a golem squad of dwarves.

　Nao looks out the window at the golems waiting outside the fort.
　The Iron (Iron) Golem troops they brought with them are hard, as are the dwarven heavily armed infantry.

''That's for sure. But the question is, where will the invasion come from?

　Iron Golems are slow and there aren't that many of them.
　If you don't place them on the Boar Rider's invasion route, they are useless.
　According to our information, orcs and goblins will come to Arceidia.
　If that's the case, I think we should intercept them in Arceidia, but if we do that, the forest will be ravaged.
　Besides, goblins and orcs eat everything, and there is plenty of food in the forest.
　If we had an endurance battle, the elves would be more likely to give up their roots.
　So it seems they want to defeat the enemy with minimal damage.
　But the enemy's army, even in known numbers, is greater than that of the elves and dwarves.
　I'm sure the quality of the troops is better here, but we will not be able to avoid a hard battle.

The only thing that matters is the quality of the troops. If this is the case, wouldn't it be faster for us to move?

　Cyrone said and Reno nodded.

'Yeah. The sooner Reno and the others move on, the better.'
'You're right: ....... That's the least amount of damage and the surest way to be sure.

　In fact, that's what I was thinking about too.
　We can easily take down orcs and goblins or so, no matter how many of them there are.

''That's certainly a sure thing. But if you guys make a move, they might just respond. At best, you'll be careful.
'Huh?　Aren't you going to help me?
What are you talking about, Cyrone? I'll help you if I can't help you, but I'm not going to be proactive.

　Coona says with a cold look on her face.
　He doesn't seem to get Syrone's name wrong.
　And he also looks somewhat troublesome.
　She looks like a queen as she sits there with all the beautiful boys in attendance.
　These beautiful boys are the ones who entertained us last night.
　I remember those adorable ones well.

'Um, would you like a drink?'

　He notices my gaze and offers me a drink.
　He's cute like a baby bunny.
　I'm about to wake up to something.

'Thanks. But not now.

　I smile as gently as I can and look at my attendant elf.
　I feel as if Nao is looking at me with zit eyes.
　Maybe she sensed the presence of my boy in my eyes.
　But I don't care.

''By the way, it seems we still haven't figured out the enemy's strength, was there anything else besides orcs and goblins?''
''Yes, except for the wolves in Lamia and other snake people, there seems to be only a few other kobolds and others. However, I don't think they pose a threat to Chiyuki-sama and the others.
I see. ......

　The kobolds she describes are demons that live in the mines of the mountains and other mines.
　The face resembles a dog, but is not related to a dog person. Rather, it is more like a lizard.
　They are smaller in stature than goblins and are weak and timid.
　However, they are superior to dwarves in their ability to burrow into the earth and also have the ability to transform things.
　Cobalt is the natural enemy of the dwarves.
　The cobalt ore that occurs where they live is difficult for even dwarves to metallurize, and it hinders the activities of dwarves.
　Even if they are vulnerable to it, they are a threat in numbers.
　They were good at digging holes, and they may have been hired as craft soldiers.
　I look at the image the elf has projected again.
　We can see that Kobold is there.
　The image is then disrupted.
　It seems that the elf dog (Cousy) has been noticed and attacked.
　We can see its enemy.
　It is a werewolf with black fur (wolfman).
　The wolfman throws a throwing star and chases away the fairy dog.
　This is the last time the fairy dog (kusi) saw the enemy.

'It seems that the shadow runner (Shadow Runner) has found us. I'm glad you came back safely.

　The elf compliments the fairy dog (Cousy).
　Shadowrunners are excellent at hiding among werewolves.
　It seems that the fairy dog (Cousy), who went to see the enemy, escaped from the shadowman (Shadowrunner).
　To begin with, although fairy dogs are good at searching, they are not very good at hiding.
　I'm impressed that they were able to escape.
　Or maybe the information was good enough to be known.

''You certainly did well to come back.

　I admire the fairy dog (Cousy) too.
　But the question remains unanswered.

"You don't know what the hell you're doing. "You don't know what they're up to, do you? In the first place, with the forces we know of, we won't be able to defeat the Elyosians, let alone the Elves. There's bound to be something in there.

　Coona says with a mortified look on his face.
　I had wondered that too.
　The orcs and goblins are numerous, but they are no match for the armies of Elyos in the heavens.
　Even if we can defeat the elves, they will be destroyed by the angels in the end.
　What are they planning to do?
　We looked at each other and thought.


Raina, the goddess of wisdom and victory.

　Once again, Kroki and Kouki are practicing their swords on the practice field.
　I watch them from a little distance.
　It's not that I did anything in particular, but Kuroki and Kouki have met.
　This must be a blood bond.

''Ufufu.''

　I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
　Kouki would be the strongest swordsman ever, just like Kroki.
　I'm so happy about that.
　Kuroki matches the wooden sword with Kouki and unravels it.
　Koki is desperate to learn the lessons of his father.
　He doesn't know Kroki is his father, but that doesn't matter.
　Even if he doesn't know he's his real parent, his blood will still respond to him.
　What I'm a little worried about is whether Koki will go to Nargol for his father.
　At that time, I will do my best to stop him.　

''Um~, Reena-sama. You look kind of amazing. ......

　As I look at Kuroki and Kouki, the dryad behind me looks at me shakily and says.
　I'm pretty sure her name is Tess or something.
　Apparently he has a relationship with Kuroki in the past, but I didn't ask him for details because it seems that I, being a goddess, am jealous of the dryad.
　Well, if you don't really like it, you can turn it off.
　More importantly, I have something to say to the girls.

'Kobo!　Good, Lucien. You have learned the secret, of course you know it.

　He coughs and looks at Rousien, the representative of the elves.
　I've put a constraint spell on Rousien just in case.
　This should keep the secret from leaking out.
　And from now on, you will be working as my hands and feet from now on.

'Yes, sir!　I know, sir!　Mother-in-law!
'Who!　Your mother-in-law!

　I grab Lucien's head with a whip and lift it up.
　This guy doesn't know what's going on!
　I'm going to destroy it!

'Ouch!　It hurts!

　Lucien struggles, but doesn't care.
　The three elves behind him look like they are donkeys.
　It's time to let go.
　I don't want to get my hands dirty.

Yo!　Nope!　And!　Yes!　Boom!　Lucien!　You will now live in human country to assist Kouki!　Of course I won't forgive you if you do anything weird to Kouki!　Wow!　Ka!　Ri!　Ma!　Sh!　Ta!　Kah!

　I say firmly to Lucien, who is holding his head down like it hurts.

''Huai. I understand~

　Lucien says with tears in his eyes.
　Well, that should do it.
　I looked at Kuroki and Kouki again.


◆Kuroki, the Dark Knight.

What's he doing?

　I look at myself at Raina.
　It looks like Raina is doing something to the elves at the edge of the practice field.
　This presence is a sign of anger.
　As if I want to know, or not.

'What's wrong, Kroki-sensei?

　Kouki says, looking up at himself.
　His eyes are sparkling.
　It looks like he wants to learn the sword as soon as possible.
　But you can't force yourself to do so.
　You can't become strong overnight.
　You have to keep practicing.
　So I can only teach you the basics and your mind-set.
　There's only so much I can teach.
　The rest is up to the number of occasions and Koki's own strength.
　Koki and the wooden sword together.
　Kouki is his own son.
　I was surprised when Raina told me that.
　It still doesn't feel real. Still, I'm going to be sincere in my dealings with Kouki.
　I'm going to teach him everything I can.
　The question is whether or not I can tell him he's a father.
　Raina and his education policy make a difference. I think it's a problem that could be in the original world somehow.

'Lord Kroki!

　As he is teaching Kouki the sword, Arberon, the Dwarf King, suddenly walks into the training grounds.
　He stops practicing and looks at Arberon.

'What's wrong, Lord Arberon?'
Yes, the snakes are on the march.

　Hearing those words, I looked at Kouki.
　Apparently, we need to interrupt the practice.
　I reminded myself of my purpose for coming here.
