'Earthquake'

　As soon as I activated my magic, the vibration began to spread from around the midpoint between the frontier county army and the enemy army. The vibrations gradually increased in intensity to the point where I couldn't stand up properly in a few minutes.

''Is it like this?''
'This is just ... too much ...'

　When the adventurers below me were too big to stand up properly, I stopped my magic and when I was satisfied with the results in front of me, Cain, who was clinging to me, let out a voice that sounded like he was in love with me. By the way, I floated into the air with my 'floating' magic just before I used my magic, and Cain decided that he couldn't make it to Slarin's place in time, so he hugged me to my feet. Well, there was a chance that I would be startled and fall off if that was all I did, but it's a form of safety with Slarin extending his tentacles to secure my leg and Cain in place.
　The other two seem to have lost their voice in surprise at the scene before them, as well as Cain, and would have fallen under the wall if Slarin hadn't secured their bodies.
　What was the scene that startled the three of them....

This is another amazing piece of magic. The plain has become a rocky place.

　The green of the grasslands that had spread out in front of me was just as my grandpa said when he heard the commotion and came to my side, and the green of the grasslands that had been spread out in front of me had been ruined by my magic and turned into the brown of the raised rocks (soil).

Please explain it to Chris and the others or something....

　The 'Earth Quake' that he used this time used a magic power comparable to 'Tempest', so even though he wasn't going all out, he was still feeling dull in his body.

You can't blame them. But when you wake up, Temma will explain it to you directly.

Okay.

　Since it was early in the morning, I gave my grandfather a stern reply and returned to the carriage. Slarin retrieved Cain, who was clinging to my leg, the moment I said I was going back to the carriage to sleep, and set him down next to Leon and the others, creating a scene that is rarely seen, with the three heirs of the great aristocracy sitting on the fence looking stunned... ...Well, it's not an unusual sight for me, so it wasn't something I paid any attention to.
　Jeanne and Aura were in the carriage, and they asked me about the earthquake earlier, but as soon as I told them to ask grandpa for details, they seemed to understand that it was me, so they didn't ask me anything else. In addition, Aura was about to send Jeanne into the carriage when she said she was going to sleep now, but before Jeanne could get in, she locked the door and I could hear the sound of her tongue clicking from outside... I thought that I could report to Aina. I got a little excited to see how he would react in front of Aina.


''Kuh~''

　Did I get about three hours of sleep?　I woke up to the sound of Chris banging on the door of the carriage, which seemed to have become unbearable, so I prepared myself lightly and went outside.
　As expected, there were Chris, who looked like he wanted me to explain the situation, and Amour, who was in a bad mood for some reason, and the three idiots who seemed to have been dealing with Chris while he was waiting for me. Jeanne and Aura seemed to be getting ready for lunch some distance away from there, and Shiroumaru and Solomon didn't leave their side when I came out.

'Good morning Chris. Where's Grandpa?

You know what I'm trying to say, don't you?

'Yes, I'm sorry to hear that, Chris. I don't have a good man here either...how about we just stick it out with Leon?

''I know...........................but I'm not going to compromise with Leon. No one likes to get a lottery ticket.................no!

　That was a little long and flippant... or so I thought... and then I saw the three of them struggling to hold back their laughter behind Chris-san. Well, I guess it's right because I don't know what Chris-san will say if I burst out laughing, but does Rion know that he is being made fun of?　Well, you don't understand, because you're laughing so hard.

'So much for the joke, you mean the magic you used before you went to bed, right?

'Yes!　If you're going to use that kind of magic, you could have told me in advance!　Thanks to that, the horses and the adventurer's (tamer's) family members had a hard time getting out of control!

　I'm sorry about that for sure. Fortunately, no one was injured during the rampage, and no one was injured, but Chris told me that if I made one mistake, it could have caused a lot of damage. It was my fault for this, so I silently listened to the lecture as a sign of remorse, but I didn't understand the meaning of Amur, who was standing beside Chris, showing his displeasure.

'I wanted to sleep with you too!

　With that one word, I understood that it was nothing to worry about. Let's ignore Amur.

'So how are the Vice Commander and his sons doing?　Especially that secretary who was a spy?

''You don't seem too remorseful... well, it could be that you had to keep it a secret, so that's enough... but the deputy commander and his sons, with the exception of the secretary, are on duty. I'm back to the Still, we can't keep a complete eye on him, though, so we'll have to keep an eye on him for a time.

　That's why my grandfather is currently in charge of surveillance. Well, even if he says surveillance, he just sits in a corner and doesn't impose any particular restrictions on his activities.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

'And about the secretary, to some extent I understand why she became a spy.

　According to Chris's interrogation (Chris led the interrogation, and Grandpa and Leon were also present), the reason why the man in the secretary's office became a spy was because he wanted to prolong the conflict and have the other side attack him and take credit for fighting it off.
　For what it's worth, the secretary is the son of the deputy commander, but he's not his own son, and all of his younger siblings are also adopted. They were orphans and did not know what to do with themselves when they were rescued by the deputy commander, and they wanted to repay the favor somehow. So the secretary of the company thought of a way to repay the favor: 'I will succeed to the position of deputy commander. However, since the position of deputy commander is a position within the Frontier Count Army, it is obvious that one must have ability and accomplishments to be able to take on this position. Moreover, unfortunately, the secretary has excellent skills as a secretary, but he has only average skills and ability to command the troops, and he was worried that he would not be able to get the position of deputy commander if he didn't. It seems that he was intrigued by the unit commander and did something like a spy. The unit commander said to me, "If you can repel the enemy forces that attacked here, everyone will recognize that you have the ability to become the deputy commander.

In light of the fact that I was intrigued and dyed in the hands of the sub-commander and the achievements of him and his deputy commander so far, it was decided to commute the crime by one level and reduce the sentence to a slave. It's a good idea to make sure that you have the right kind of information to help you get the best results.

　The secretary is the main culprit, but they decided that there was someone worse, and that the secretary will be reduced to a slave because she saved the man's life and sold her debt to the deputy commander and expects him to continue to be loyal to the frontier county family. As for the troop commander, the testimony of the knights who were arrested together with him revealed that he was completely connected to the enemy forces, so the death penalty was confirmed without a word. I heard that the death penalty will be carried out after sending them to the Earl of Haust's frontier, and the troop leader has already been removed by some trusted knights. The rest of the captured adventurers and knights have been reduced to slaves and will be sent back to their homes as soon as the knights come back from Howst's frontier. There was a discussion of the death penalty for this one too, but the sentence was commuted for selling the troop leader's information.

''I feel like I've worked too hard...''

'Right. In the aftermath of that, I got more work too... but not more pay!　Why the hell not!

　Apparently, one of the jobs of the Kingsguard is to watch for traitors, and in this case, Chris laments that it would be judged to be within the normal course of business to watch for a potential traitor.

Just a little more patience, Chris...............and give up on your paycheck.

　The deputy commanders may have thought that the more they could accomplish, the more they could potentially reduce the secretary's sentence. Hopefully, they might think that even if they couldn't become masters of their secretary's fallen slaves, they might be able to leave them in the care of someone they knew. As long as the frontier county family doesn't take the secretary into custody and treat her badly, the deputy commanders will be an ally who will never betray them while they are securing her.

'So back to the beginning, what was that earthquake?　I could imagine that it was Temma-kun's magic, but what kind of magic was it?

It's the same level of magic as 'The Tempest' in terms of scale. It's just that this time we prepared for it beforehand and suppressed its power, so it didn't fall like the old 'Tempest' we used, and if we hadn't prepared for it, we wouldn't have been able to move from the carriage for a while longer, even if we had suppressed its power.

'That's how I was able to hold it down.......in the first place, a magic comparable to 'The Tempest'.......Temma-kun, a real natural disaster(.......)'

　Chris-san's Tenzai (...) is definitely converted into a natural disaster. Well, both 'Tempest' and 'Earthquake' are undoubtedly phenomena called natural disasters, so calling myself a natural disaster isn't wrong either, but I still can't understand it.

By the way, though... there is no other magic like that, is there?

Well I'll keep it a secret.

　When Chris-san heard my response, he had a dumbfounded look on his face, "You mean there are other things....... It's not as difficult to do theoretically, and although it's not as difficult as the Tempest and the Earthquake, there are a number of small-scale natural disaster-like spells that can be done.
　It's a good thing that I'm not going to be able to get away with it. Well, I manipulate the surrounding air pressure at the same time as generating tornadoes, set the range and make the ground rise continuously and so on, but basically it's a brute force technique using the massive amount of magic power I have.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a special kind of magic, because if you want to do it, grandpa can do it too, although the scale is different.......right?

　Let's put it this way, it's nothing special.

Temma, that's not possible.

　And Chris calmly returned it to me. I feel like she's looking at me like she's looking at a disappointed child.

''Pfft........kukku.......''

　Rion was struggling to hold back his laughter, but Chris-san was looking at Rion like that... or rather, everyone here, except Rion, was looking at Rion with the eyes of a more unfortunate creature. Of course, me too.

Well, I guess we'll have to do a little work on it.

　As it is now, some of the rocks are as tall as a man's height, so they could be used as cover and shields in reverse, but once they are destroyed, all that's left is a rough rocky area that takes a lot of time to move around.

''Let's let the Frontier Count Army do their best in that area.

　In the meantime, since the deputy commander's people were spying on him and the deputy commander himself has written to the Haust frontier county to let them know that he is not involved in spying, additional knights will probably come. I intend to leave here in turns with those, but if there aren't enough knights to replace the work Chris-san is currently doing (such as surveillance work), I'll have to change my plans and extend the number of days I remain here.......in fact, Chris I think I'll leave you and Leon and go to the Count of the Frontier to get a certificate of accomplishment for my request.

Temma, we're at a party, aren't we?　Do you have something different in mind?

　Apparently, what I was thinking about was showing on my face.

''No, I just thought that if it comes down to it, I should just leave Rion (...) alone...''

Yeah. That would be nice. Let's do it!

Miss, please don't treat me badly!

　Leon shouted a protest, but none of us took it up. Everyone would want to leave as soon as possible if they could.

'Leaving Rion out of the equation so, Temma, what's the rest of it going to be?　If this is the case, the enemy army, which has been cut off from its sources of information and has built walls and wastelands, won't be in a hurry to attack us all at once, though?

　What Cain says is also reasonable. If the commander of the enemy army, or someone in a similar position, was thoughtless, he could be thought to attack without a care in the world.

I'm sure you're right.　The Wyvern would be an easy to understand marvel, even against a guy who's in a hurry to come at you.

　The more you can slow down the other side's belligerents, the more money you'll make. And if we can boost the morale of the adventurers on our side, we'll make more money.

"Temma, if we're going to dismantle the wyvern, I need some meat.

''And while we're at it, let's treat the adventurers to some wyvern meat. Since it's a necessary expense, we can make an invoice in Leon's name later.

Oh, hey, mug!
'Leon agrees. He says he's going to charge the Haust frontier county responsibly.
Yeah. Leon is glad to see you're finally getting your turn.

　When Rion was about to say something, Albert and Cain quickly blocked Rion's mouth and blocked his movements.

I'm going to go and report to the deputy commander just to see what's going on. Of course, I got Rion's permission.

'Mr Temma, here's your permit. I've put Leon's name on it, so you can give it to me.

　Chris-san wrote a simple permission slip on the spot and added Rion's name. It's an obvious fake, but Rion's handwriting is dirty to begin with, and his handwriting isn't consistent when writing his signature, so this should be enough to fool him. Well, that deputy commander would pretend that he didn't notice even if he found out it was a fake, especially now that he's thinking about the need to leave as many good results as possible for his secretary (Musuko), so he'd dare to ignore it, even if it would cause trouble for Leon to boost the morale of the adventurers.

''Well then, I'll be off for a bit. Chris-san, make sure you have a place where you can dismantle the wyvern. Amour asks Jeanne and Aura to explain to him. Albert and Cain will take Rion into custody as is.

""Got it!"
Mugabe!

　Rion barked as loudly as the four of them, but it was quickly subdued by Albert and Cain.

'Alright!　Allowed!

　The deputy commander heard my proposal and immediately gave me permission. When I told him that I had an instant permit with Leon's (fake) signature, he took it out of my hands and put his own signature on it, and also said he would treat it as an official one.

'So with that said, let the cooking begin. First of all, I'm going to cut off the head of the wyvern.

　From the wyvern, he took the one whose head was almost severed and cut it off completely with a small crowbar.

'Amur, Slarin, go display this in the middle of the fence. Balance it so it looks like it's facing the enemy lines.

Hm!　Slarin, let's go.

　Amour picked up Slarin, who had taken the wyvern's face into his body, and ran towards the wall.

'There's not a lot of meat in the wings, so I'll cut this one off too... and the rest of it will be easier for Jeanne and the others to cook if we peel it off and turn it into a reasonably sized block of meat.
I'm ready to go myself.

　It's not easy to cleanly peel off the skin of such a large animal, so he asked his grandfather to make some cuts in the wyvern's skin while he was cutting off its wings, and then he came up with a plan to pull it off in one go with the Guardian Gigant, the Guardian of Giants.

''Oops!　It's a surprisingly clean peel-off.
It's kind of weird, though, isn't it?

　Seeing the way the skin was being peeled off in peripes, Albert was surprised that there was no flesh on the skin, while Cain, on the contrary, seemed to feel a little creepy because the skin was being peeled off too cleanly.

''The dragon snake I dismantled in the past also came off cleanly like this, so basically the reptiles must be easy to peel off their skin.

''No, Temma-kun the Dragon Snake and the Wyvern are both reptiles when it comes to reptiles, but they aren't usually creatures of that size that can be dismantled so easily.

　I pretended not to hear Chris's exasperated words as I cut up the skinned wyvern into 1-2 kilogram blocks of meat.

Jeanne, Aura, Albert, Cain, cut the block of meat into thin slices. I'll make miso soup, and while you're at it, get the skillet out.

Temma, you're back. Mission accomplished!　And there's a cook from the Order coming to help out.

'Surarin, Amur, thank you for your hard work. Amur, the menu is going to be miso soup. I will ask you to cut the vegetables with the cooks. Ask Amur for the size of the vegetables. Slarin, I want you to keep an eye on Shiroumar and Solomon to make sure they don't snack on them.

Mr. Temma, what about me?

He asked them to wait quietly with their own cups or cups lent by the knights. And by the way, no matter how big a bowl you bring, there is a certain amount to distribute to each person.

All right!　Come on, let's go, Leon!
Yoo-hoo!

　I left the adventurers to their less-than-helpful cooking duties and proceeded to dismantle the wyvern.

"Can we leave the guts in the bag and deal with them when we have time?

　After dismantling most of the wyvern, I explained how to make miso soup to the knights in charge of cooking, and after showing them how to make it and letting them taste it, I decided to have them each make their own. There will be some variance, but they are all experienced cooks, so I don't think they will make a big mistake.

　A short time later, the huge amount of pork soup, or wyvern soup, or Wai soup for short (named after Amur), was consumed in about half the time it took to make and contributed to the adventurers' morale, just as I had planned.
