My Reincarnation Skills Are “Playing With Dolls” and “Playing With Clay”, but What Am I Supposed to Do With These? C147

Episode 147 Threat of the Empire

After defeating the assassin who attacked Butch, we managed to escape to the ground while eliminating the enemies chasing us. 

　

After that, they were about to be surrounded by a swarm of stone golems and goblins that suddenly appeared, but Behanam and Arez were indeed strong. 

Concentrating the strengthened wind magic on the joints, Arez finally destroyed the knee joints with his magic sword, rendering the stone golem incapacitated. amazing. 

Seeing this, the goblins scattered and ran away. 

According to Old Delos, stone golems have long been used by demons for security purposes, so they may have been deployed 200 years ago. 

As for the goblins, they probably don't have a direct relationship with them, but rather the swarm of goblins probably settled in a place where there were stone golems that wouldn't attack other monsters, thinking it was safe. 

Even so, I can't even take a break if I'm targeted by an assassin again. 

We evacuated to a place where we could see the other side of the ravine, and from there we decided to use visual teleportation to fly to that Parthea border and enter the dormitory at the checkpoint. 

Thanks to Lina being made into a doll-sized monk and made to ``meditate'' in a leather bag all the time in the ruins, she managed to recover to the extent that short-distance teleportation was possible. 

Still, it would be best to let him rest for today. 

The border checkpoint was almost passable thanks to the presence of military officers and famous scholars. It's very different from the other day. 

“He was definitely an Isnefian.”

"Hmm, it seems unlikely that it's a fake. This laserium is real."

In response to Arez's words, Behanam displays necklaces that look like the ones worn by the avenging priests around their necks. 

Lesarium seems to be the name of this metal ornament shaped like a sword with a winged snake, suspended from something like a rosary. 

"However, I can't say that Ishtar as a country is familiar with demons."

Delos said cautiously as they examined the many laseriums they had recovered. 

Ares seems to be aware of this as well. 

"Yes, Professor Delos. Now, Ishnefism has invaded not only Ishtar, but all countries, even our empire. No matter what some fanatics do, we cannot pursue Ishtar. I guess…”

``In the first place, it is not normal for the Isnef believers, who believe in one supreme God, and those who claim that even the widely believed gods of polytheism are evil gods and demons, to believe in the devil king and higher demons.'' Nushina.”

“Normally, yes.”

"Yes, normally..."

The scholars exchanged glances and nodded. 

"But we can't leave it alone. Now that we know that the Demon King's closest aide, the high-level demon Dazgaan, who was even called his Claws and Fang, is right in front of our empire."

"eh"

I was surprised by Delos' words. I couldn't see any status or anything. 

“Oh, you only have intermediate discrimination, right?”

Behanam told me this to my surprise. 

"There are skills and magic that allow you to disguise your status and hide your skills. To see through them, you usually need to be an advanced judge."

"Also, even though you couldn't see that demon's status this time, it was written on the mural."

The one who spoke was Magdalea, who had opened her notebook. 

"It says, 'In the land of Ashugan, the altar room was built by the great king's right hand, the Clawtooth Dazgan.' That's what it says, sir."

"Well, it looks like you've been studying ancient letters well, Magdalea. That's why you're doing so well."

Behanam was satisfied with the affirmation of his student who had taken good records in that dangerous place. 

"Shiro-san"

Then he turned to me and said aratamata. 

"We want to inform the military and government immediately. This is clearly a threat that requires the Imperial Security Council to convene. We don't know how they will respond, but we cannot leave it alone. I can't. I plan to return to the imperial capital immediately."

Certainly, if he found something as dangerous as this, he would probably be a powerful person in a neighboring country. But we don't want to abuse Lina any more today... 

“You are all accompanying students, so you can take it easy tonight.Would you be able to return to the capital tomorrow and stop by my place at the university in the evening?”

Then, I spoke to Magdalea and Buccini. 

``You should write an objective report on what you saw today and submit it tomorrow. I will also tell Professor Buccini that you worked in Professor Sarmat's laboratory. There is no need to comment on this matter. Instead, I will certify that report as my graduation thesis.''

I could feel the two of them gasping. 

"Mr. Shiro, I want you to bring the two of you safely back to the Imperial Capital tomorrow. And, I think tomorrow evening, I will probably make a formal request to you as adventurers. I will try to make the conditions as favorable as possible. I would appreciate it if you would consider this positively.”

Then, after glancing at Arez, he continued. 

"This work won't be done by volunteers either. The national army will pay for one day's worth of escort."

“Eh, Your Excellency, that’s it.”

“You are no longer His Excellency, Arez.”

With a grin, Behanam and the others left. 

"...things are starting to get a bit difficult, Master."

Everyone's eyes are on me. I'm not good at this kind of thing. 

"Hmm, anyway, I'll listen to the story tomorrow, and if the conditions are good for an adventurer's quest, I'll accept it, I guess."

"Old man, Carmilla, I'm hungry."

Yes, Carmilla's self-paced behavior is soothing at times like this. 

"Well, first let's eat."

Nolte also seemed to have changed his mind when he heard that it was food. 

It's still a little early, and the lodging here is a mess, but we've had such a difficult experience this morning, so let's refuel first... 

 and···

“Thank you Professor Behanam and others.”

Lucien, who doesn't usually order much food, seems unusually happy. 

Yes, I guess they called out to the dormitory. 

We're not in the usual large dining room for travelers, but are we in a place for VIPs? Was there a place like this? I was taken to a place that looked like a reception room, and was served a meal that was as delicious as it sounds. 

You can do it if you try, Paldea Empire. 

A wine-style aperitif, a soup of eggs and seasonal vegetables, an appetizer, a well-cooked steak that doesn't smell like a monster, fragrant bread, and a cake for dessert...it's a full course meal, really. 

The mug and butt combination seems to be usually poor students,

“I can’t go back to eating at the student dormitory anymore.”

As I said, he was going at a pace that rivaled Nolte. 

Well, I just arrived at the truth. The amount you eat goes to your chest, what a wonderful alchemy... 

"Kohon"

Lu, Lucien-san, your gaze is cold. 

And the room was not the usual large room for men and women, but was shown to a separate building, probably for the purpose of Elai people's inspection. There is a front room, and in the back there are two bedrooms: a room for 4 people and a room for 2 people. 

I imagine it's a two-person room for the VIP couple plus a four-person room for their attendants. 

Well, it doesn't matter either way, so I decided to have our party use a four-person room, and Magdalea and Buccini to use a two-person room. 

However, when the girls were kicked out and told to go to the front room to dry themselves with hot water, Buccini called from the room for two. 

"Hmm, was there a problem? There were some bugs or something..."

The door was quickly closed behind him. 

"eh"

Buccini and Magdalea approached me, sandwiching me in between them. 

"You know, thank you so much for protecting me and Butch. You said something great like, 'I'll take care of myself,' and in the end I ended up relying on you."

"This seems like a better room, so let's sleep together here, Sirocchi, right? It's like, 'Go-shu-ji-n-sa-ma.'"

After saying that, the two of them came close to each other and fell into a tangle on the wide double-sized bed. 

Both of them smelled sweet, like they had just wiped themselves with hot water, and it started to feel strange. I feel dizzy but my body is really hot. 

"Wow, you're so healthy already. The drug witch Machin's medicine is really powerful."

"Fu, fu, fu, there's no man who won't be affected by the super powerful aphrodisiac 'Tonogata No. 2', Gozaru."

That tone sounds like I've heard it somewhere before...it's just my imagination. 

“Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, hey, tsun-tsun.”

"Butch, me and I..."

I don't know what's going on anymore, but this is okay... 

After that, my head started to spin, my head started to tremble, my tail was clinging to me, and sometimes I couldn't breathe, and the bed made a lot of noise... 

“Here!”

Suddenly, a small lump flew into the room. 

“H-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Oh, stop, it's dangerous! I won't swing the hammer around!"

"Today is my day, but it's my day! I thought you wouldn't come home for quite some time... Huh, Master!"

I was in a daze, and after everyone had subdued Nolte, who was half-crazed, I finally understood the situation where we were naked and having an orgy with Mug and Buti. 

````Excuse me''''

For some reason, I was forced to sit on the ground along with Mag and Buchi, and I was showered with the cold stares of Lucien and Lina, who had somehow become larger than life. 

Even at times like this, Carmilla sniffs around the double room at her own pace, but oh, that's bad. Carmilla's sense of smell can't compare to a human's, so wouldn't it have a big impact? 

"Don't sniff that, Carmilla, it's an aphrodisiac...isn't it too late?"

"Fufuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu up to me."

After seeing Carmilla's almost full moon face, everyone seemed to realize that it was bad too. 

"What should I do if I turn into a wolf here..."

"Hey, I assume you have an antidote?"

Lucien questions Magdalea. 

"Well, let's just say there is...but this is for men, and it's still under development and there are side effects..."

“Whatever you want, just let Carmilla lick you, or you’ll be eaten, right?”

"Hiii, I'll take it out. I'll take it out."

Hurriedly, Magdalea took out a bunch of mysterious medicine boxes and bottles from the item box and began to make a compound. 

Then, we all held down the stinky liquid on Carmilla and forced her to lick it half way... Oh, is it working? 

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Although she seems a little tired, Carmilla's natural athletic girl-like expression has returned to her usual expression. 

"It's going to take a lot of energy, so I'll just have to take it easy...but it's strange that this cat medicine works on girls too (mumbles)."

"Then, that applies to me too..."

When I said that to Magdalea and tried to get the remaining medicine, it took a while. 

“Master, you can leave it as is.”

“Norte?”

"...This is my punishment for cheating on you, so please treat me twice as much as usual today."

Smile. It's a picture-perfect smile...but her eyes aren't smiling at all. 

Sorry, it was my fault. 

"Then, you guys, come to the four-person room. Hurry!"

Lucien hurriedly left, taking Mag, Buchi, and Carmilla with him. 

And so I entered the Mission Impossible extra edition with a body that couldn't do what I wanted.
