“Slow……Oww…Buhi……”


  “I just got you in heels.　Cheer up, Buhita. We’re making a lot of money by handing out our lives, aren’t we?”


  Walking around in the unchanging landscape… I’m building several equations in my head.

  I had to figure out a way to save the world.

  “Slow, the orc home is over there, buhi.”


  I was walking through the forest as instructed by Buhita, aiming for the orc village, ehohohohohoho!

  ”More importantly, I wonder if Silva’s guy is doing well. I’ve imposed all the negotiations with the Cardinal and your father, but …… if I go to Duke Denning’s house now, it’s going to be a terrible mess, and I don’t have time to get involved in the family turmoil. ……”


  “Silva?　Who is this?　It sounds like a very sinister name for me: ……”


  “Oh, he’s my knight, Buhita. Probably stronger than me, and a hero-type swordsman, Buhi.”


  Silva must be facing quite a bit of trouble in Daris right now!

  ”I’ve been stuffed by Cardinal Mardini and my father, I’ve had my body jerked around to see what this enchanted sword is granting~~, I’ve been questioned by people in town, and it’s scary just to imagine it.”


  But I’m sure that guy would get through it, and he was somehow more motivated than I could ever imagine.

  No matter what, the mercenary’s true identity is the former nobleman of Daris.

  The important role of getting Natalia Windle, who had fallen into the role of a villainous daughter, out of jail and making her free is something that only I can do, little boy,” he breathed.

  “Knight, Buhi!　Slow has a knight that is in shining armor.　I’m so jealous of you!”


  “You’ve suddenly got a lot of energy, Buhita. Hey! Don’t go flailing around on your back.”


  “I’m so cool!　I want to be a hero knight too~!”


  A survivor of Baron Windle’s family turned mercenary, her true dream is to restore the Windle Domain. And since the revival of the Windle Domain is also a major part of my goal for the fastest possible world peace, we must get the mercenaries to cooperate with our dream somehow.

  But still, Silva was terrified when he found out that the mercenary was a survivor of Baron Windle’s family. He’s also from Baron Windle’s territory, as I recall.

  ”Since Buhita is an Orc King, isn’t it normal for him to have the knights!”


  I feel like I’m better suited to fight on my own rather than be the Orc King, telling everyone what to do.

  Furthermore, I’ve already decided on my next move.

  After establishing a friendship with the Demon King Faction’s Aeris in the Imperial State, we must head to that country which is ruled by the Rebel Guild and chant about great freedom.

  Next, to one of the Four Great Southern Alliance.

  We must find one of the Three Musketeers, the heroes of the Dostre Empire who half destroyed the Free Federation in the anime.

  “Slow!　I want to hear the story of the Knights of Slow, buhi!”


  “Hmm …… yeah. Those guys are…”


  ”Half-human, half-demon, half-demon mysterious beings, living dead…”


  The Empire’s highest fighting force, not knowing whether they are humans or monsters themselves.

  The troublesome Hero of the North, who single-handedly controls an army of ten thousand, is an assassin sent by the Empire to the Free Federation to kill a certain thief.

  The thief runs a ramshackle inn in the dungeon city that is the pride of the Free Federation.

  Also known as Death Merle.

  He is a multi-talented man who is not only the leader of the Grand Rebel Guild but also runs a burglary business.

  But this time, the person he stole from is too bad.

  He stole a certain magic tool from the shadow ruler of the Dostr Empire, the Great Spirit of Darkness, from his room, and it had gone against the Great Spirit’s scent.

  ”Ah, Slow!　I can see the Orc village in sight.”


  My next move is going to be the most important move of all for my dream.

  I will soil the reputation of the Three Musketeers, the strongest warriors the Empire has ever held up.

  Dryback Steibert, a northern hero who is alone in his fight with the Free Federation, and Desmerle, a great leader of the Rebel Guild.

  The battle between these two men is snatched from the side…


  By overwhelming the living legends of the Dostr Empire, Duke Dalis’ pure white Pig Duke—.

  ”Hey, don’t riot!　Stop fighting!　…… buhi buhi!”


  “I’m out!　Slow!　It’s all right now, buddy!”


  You will be the strongest orc on the continent.

  Oh my, that’s wrong……


  You’re an orc, I’m the Duke of White Pig!

  ●


  “Orc King-sama, buhi.”


  “This is Buhita. How pathetic of you to lag behind the adventurers.”


  In the orc village, Buhita was receiving treatment.

  All the Orcs in the village gathered around him and looked at Buhita with concern.

  ”A number of bows and arrows suddenly flew at me, Buhita!”　It’s a good idea to have a blue bracelet that is a sign of a B-class adventurer. “According to Slow’s knowledge, the blue bracelet is a sign of a B-class adventurer, and B-class means a full-fledged adventurer.”


  Buhita got into a fight with a B-class adventurer.

  It seems that the B-class adventurer thought that he was in a bad position, so after a short battle and he ran away.

  When I arrived, Buhita pulled out a knife, stuck in his shoulder, and said, “I’m going to go”.　He shouted. He really makes me worry huh.

  “You shouldn’t go into the forest too much. If we run into B-grade adventurers… Buhita, we’ll all be dead in no time. I don’t think we’ll be able to get away with it.”


  Orc kings are monsters that are usually designated as Class B monsters.

  But, Buhita isn’t a normal king type who commands an army of orcs, he’s an orc king who leads and inspires himself to fight.

  It would be a troublesome monster for a lone B-class adventurer to fight alone.

  ”The Empire is also dangerous. There’s no safe haven for them.”


  “Master Aeris says he’s found a safe haven.　I don’t know the details either, but if you follow Aeris, you can bet on it.　So, don’t die on me!　No one is allowed in the woods for a while.”


  A rank that is commensurate with the adventurer’s ability.

  The ranks are classified in order from F to E, D, C, B, A, Special A, and S class. For example, in the anime, Shuya spent a period of time as an adventurer hiding in dungeons. He didn’t have a complete heart-to-heart with the Great Spirit of Fire, and that guy from before belonged to the rank of B-class adventurer, as I recall.

  By the way, Silva said, he once hid in a dungeon as an A-class adventurer during his wanderings.

  “I’m so scared of humans~, I want to go to a safe place~”


  But, an adventurer appeared near that spring, and it was only one of them.

  Was he simply thirsty and came for water, or did he have some other goal in mind?

  If he came to scout out the orcs coming to fetch water there, it would be tricky.

  But the adventurers didn’t expect to suddenly run into not just an ordinary orc, but an evolved Orc king.

  “But the Poison Snake that lived in the fountain was turned away.　You’re safe with the water now.　Once the adventurers are gone, you’ll have all the water you can drink.”


  Oops, I got pensive to one person.

  Before I knew it, there was a cheer in the orc village.

  ”But even so, Slow’s magic was amazing, Buhi!　I wish everyone could have seen it.”


  “‘Orcs~, Orcs~, Slow is an orc wizard~”


  …… Totally… These orcs are delightful monsters.

  I’m gobbling up leftover rice while listening to the goofy song played by the orcs. Charlotte is sitting in a chair next to me and says, “The skills of the orc cooks are simple but not to be underestimated, orc cooking could revolutionize the survival industry. …… I wonder how much the Denning family would love it if I told them about that cooking method: ……” she was excited for some reason.

  Her eyes were serious and I decided to leave Charlotte alone for a while.

  “Oh!　Master Aeris.”


  When I squinted, it seemed that someone from beyond the sky was coming towards the orc village.

  Buhita was right, the person who came from the other side of the sky was Aeris, the pixie, the boss of the monsters ruling the kingdom.

  Aeris sat down next to Buhita on the other side.

  “Phew, we’ve managed to solve the problem of the unicorn village. But you are still eating something delicious: …… Buhita, can you give me something to eat too?”


  “Okay, I’ll get it now.”


  Buhita stood up in good spirits, even though he was sick after fighting more adventurers.

  He ran to the cooking area where the orc cooks gathered.

  With the gaze of the Orcs all over him, Aeris sat proudly in the seat of the Blue Sky Restaurant, not the Blue Sky Classroom.

  It seems that Aeris is also from a privileged class, after all, only the boss of the current empire.

  Orcs were looking at me and Aeris, those who were getting ready to eat early, as well as those who were apparently about to eat. Also, some old Orcs were looking at the white whore succubus, who was biting down on wildflowers, in a languid manner. Hmm, it’s still chaos.

  “Hey, Charlotte. I don’t mean to be abrupt, but can you write …… ?”


  Aeris said, leaning forward a long way.

  ”Apparently his goal is not me, but Charlotte.”


  “Huh? You mean writing?　Um, yes, I can write.”


  “The writing in this world is the same for all countries, both in northern and southern regions, all use the same letters.”


  “I knew it!　You’re a very intelligent succubus!　So, you guys are going to be here for a while, right?　I’m going to need you, the succubus, to help me with my work for a while.”


  “Work…? Since when did you work ……?”


  “I’m going to the village where the other monsters live. I need you to write down on a piece of paper what they need, what their problems are, and so on. See, succubuses are smart monsters, unlike orcs, aren’t they?　Sort of like an assistant. And orcs can’t fly, can they?”


  Aeris stiffly took Charlotte’s hand.

  The Orcs are upset because they say you’re as straightforward as a hardball and also as dumb as a hardball.

  But still, you’re going to the village of other monsters to help Aeris with his work, though that’s a bit dangerous, isn’t it?

  The Great Spirit of Wind, who was cooling off under the desk, also hurriedly jumped into Charlotte’s lap. The Great Spirit who pretends to be Charlotte’s protector seems to be thinking the same way as I am.

  ”Wait, wait a minute Aeris …… Charlotte is …”.

  “Oh. Mr. Slow, I’m …… a bit interested in …… I’d like to see Mr. Aeris’ work closely and personally …… and, you know …… Can a succubus fly too?”


  ”Oh, …… that one?”


  But he looked at me with those sparkling eyes, and as expected, I couldn’t say no.
