I'm sorry I rambled on.
'No, we were the ones who said we wanted to hear it, and thanks for telling us. It was nice to hear something interesting.
Oh, well, that's good to hear.

　Rico smiled as if he was embarrassed.

　However, from what I've heard, Rico seems to hold an incredible amount of power in this town.

　In short, isn't it like you're in control of this town? It's only for the people, so I don't have a problem with it, but it's great in such a short period of time.

　When I first met her, she seemed like a weak girl. In fact, she was just scared and scared of dealing with delinquents. She has grown up a lot since she came to the other world.

　It's already getting dark outside.
　It's time to go home, I thought it would be a nuisance.

Well, we're going to go home now.

　He said as he got up from his chair.

'Oh, I see. Thank you for talking to me today.'
No, I enjoyed listening to Rico's story, too. Oh, but don't forget to tell me about how the Mark attracts disaster. Rico seems to have a lot of allies, so you might not get hit, but just be careful just in case.
I understand. I'll keep that in mind.

　Rico's firm reply.

'Come back to us - Uncle and Mr. Stuffed Animal and the cat lady.

　Issa said, smiling and waving her hand.

　Oh, Uncle?
　I'm sure I'm not that old, but........well, I'm an uncle to this girl.......
　I waved back to Issa, lightly shocked.

　We left Rico's house and went back to the inn.

　Meanwhile, a brave man, Oshima Hiroshi (Oshima Hiroshi), was marching towards his destination.

　Hiroshi wore a large, hard armor and held a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right.

　If anything, he was the type of man who was good at defending himself.

　His subordinate soldiers who followed him exceeded tens of thousands.

　Many of them were not only human, but also beast soldiers. Many of the castles that Hiroshi had attacked and defeated were places that were controlled by beastmen.
　Hiroshi had taken his family members hostage so that the soldiers could no longer disobey him. The expressions on the beast soldiers' faces were grave. None of them pledged allegiance to Hiroshi personally. However, the brave man's tremendous power and the fact that his family was being taken hostage had completely robbed them of the energy to disobey.

　Incidentally, the move to take his family hostage was not Hiro's idea, but a strategy devised by his subordinate Aleverus. Hiroshi was perfectly strong, but he was not very smart, and there was no way he would ever have been able to fight a real war in Japan, so he didn't know much about military matters. His subordinates were doing a good job of covering for him.

'What's in the town we're going to attack this time?

　Hiroshi asked Aleverus, who was beside him, a question.

'A large library would be the best thing about it. Knowledge would be a national treasure.'
Library?　I don't care about that. Is there a woman, a good woman?
A woman.........is it? Come to think of it, I heard that "saints" have been appearing recently.
'A saint?　Is that a good woman?
''I don't know the details, but I've heard rumors that she has good looks. More importantly, they seem to have strong skills. Apparently there's some kind of water that raises your level when you drink it.
What is that, really?

　This was the best information for Hiroshi, who wanted to raise the level.

''Alright, we'll get that guy for sure. Even if it's ugly. I'll rub it in for me.

　He grins.

'How much longer?'
I thought we'd be arriving soon.
'Alright, if there's water to level up, we don't need to defeat the enemy. The first time you hand over a saint, tell them you won't attack them. With this kind of army, the enemy will shrink up and give it to you.
Yes, sir.

　Hiroshi ordered, and continued his march to Vafol.
