26 Episode 26 A flock of demons approaching




What's wrong with you, bloody hell, what happened?
A Travis merchant just came by and told me that a horde of demons is heading this way!
What?

''I heard that just a few minutes ago, they met a large group of demons at the exit of the roadway through the forest and got into a battle!
"A bunch of demons! How many are the numbers?

And, you know, at first I thought I heard wrong, but then I heard there were at least 100 of them.
"100--! Even though it's a frontier, this many people in such a remote area.......it's unbelievable to me.......
 Gunma gulped.

'I heard that the Travis Merchant Company's private mercenary group that was escorting them returned fire, but they were outnumbered. Apparently they barely managed to escape.
What's the damage on their side? Did they all get out of there in one piece?

"No one seems to have died, but I hear there are a number of wounded. I heard that they're sending a quick horse to town right now to inform the garrisoned knights, but I don't know if I can call them in now and get there in time--

"It will not be like this. "Tell everyone in the village to run away at once. There is no time to prepare. We can wear whatever we have on, but we need to get out of here in the direction of the town and keep our distance.

Okay, okay! I'll let everyone know right away--!
 Gunma ordered the entire village to be evacuated, and the villagers who had come to report it left in a hurry.
 But, but--''

''........probably not possible.
Mr. Sayre?
 My left eye glows mysteriously in gold - my S-class cheat "dragon's eye", which detects the presence of the enemy and the power of battle, has detected the presence of the approaching demon horde!

They're already a few hundred yards from the village. They can tell by the signs that they're right on top of us. If there are old men, women and children there, we can't run away now, it's too late.
 Incidentally, the unit of distance was recognizable without any discomfort using the familiar metric system, thanks to the basic system S-class cheat "Cymartianus Interpreter" that aids language and conversation.

''Well, you're very good at understanding such things, Manashiro-sama... but even if we can't evacuate everyone in time, we must at least let as many people as possible escape--''
So can you all get ready to run away, just in case? I'm going to go exterminate the demons now, so I don't think I need to run away.

Well, you're not saying you're going to fight?
Of course.

No! No! There are more than 100 demons that we're dealing with! No matter how strong Seya-san is, as expected, she can't do it alone!
 Uzushi, with a worried look on his face, interrupts me as I cheaply concede the matter.

"If Seya-san is dead, I, I--!
 He was worried about me with tears in his eyes.

'Don't worry, I'm not going to die. That's why Uzuki is going to run away with everyone else.
Oh no, I'm not going to leave Mr. Sayre alone! If Sayer-san stays, I'll stay too!

Well, it's just a matter of time before it happens, so I'd like to get away if possible, but well....... --It's a very good idea to be able to use the Japanese sword that is displayed in this alcove, by the way.

'Katana...? You mean the sword?
Yeah, that one. I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me use this. I need a weapon to fight with.

'You're going to fight for real...'
"If we don't have time to run, we have to fight. Besides, it's faster that way.

No, you don't have to tell me that you had a great breakfast...
Yeah, that breakfast was really good. Uzuki's cooking is the best................or is it lunchtime?
'Now is not the time to be talking about that...'

I had too many chopsticks and I ate too much food-- well, just enough for a quick meal.
''Hungry........In the first place, Seya-san has nothing to do with this village, so rather just run away, Seya-san! Mr. Sayer alone should be able to handle it!

No, that wouldn't be a good way to wake up, would it?
 Abandoning a cute girl that I got along with for a bit and running away, or something like that, that would be a total loss of meaning for me to reincarnate in another world with full cheat gear.

'Manashii, are you going somewhere...?
I'm not going anywhere.
 I gently stroke Hazuki's head as she asks with an anxious face.

''I understand your feelings, Seya-san. But this sword.........er, was it a katana? As you can see, it's thin and bent. I've heard the ancestors used to use it. I've been taking care of it somewhat, but I didn't think it would be able to fight properly with this...

Let me use it. I know what I'm supposed to do with it.
A sword this thin and crooked?

Rest assured, Uzuki. This is the sword from my home. I know how to use it. I know how to use it.
'Is that a weapon in your hometown, Mr. Sayre?'

Yeah. For those of you who don't know, my hometown is Japan, and this is a weapon called a katana, a Japanese sword. And it's not bent, it's always been like this.
Oh, I see!

So lend me your stupid Japanese sword. With this, I can make it out to be a hundred men!
