That week, in preparation for our activity during the Golden Week, we purchased a large tent for camping and 10 bags of 25 kg flour to sell to the other world. Because there was a fair amount of flour, when I bought it, I had a hard time covering it up.

And then it was Saturday. Azide-san was working at Shinju town. While Nancy was staying in Greece from India via Turkey.

Now, since its Golden Week from today onwards, during the holidays, lets quickly solve the matter about the war! Eh?Its golden week for Oniichan from today? Yeah, I will have a six-day paid leave, so 16 consecutive holidays.1 Its enviable.~I want a paid leave too.~

Oh, thats right. Aya has to go back on Monday because of the Junior College. Are you going to stay at home this time, Aya? No way, dont leave me! It cant be helped. Well return on Sunday night and go to the other side again on Monday morning.

If were going over to the other side on Monday, when are we going to return? Friday, I think? Ehh.. Showa day?2 Yeah, on Showa day. Thats why we wont be able to go back and forth for a day on Wednesday.

Then, I will be alone this week? There is no helping it because were going to solve the matter about the war.

Aya-san, Im sorry. Its not your fault, Elena-chan. Un, its because of the problem of Elena-chans country.

Well then, lets go. Kay~Yes.

We went toShinju townusing Teleportation.

***

Shinju townwas in an uproar.

What is this amount of soldiers.

TheShinju townhas a military-like atmosphere, it was full of stern looking men.

Perhaps, the war has finally begun. How so? TheShinju townis the nearest town to the demon country that the demon lord governs. I see, the soldiers will gather from this town and will march towards the demon country. Thats what I think.

But, theres no movement in the present situation. First, we must gather information. Yes.

We went around the adventurers guild, merchants guild and craftsmens guild to gather information.

The survivors of the Scab village were living in theSlumslocated at the north of the town. Under the decree of the King, the aristocrats governing each town were to send the soldiers they have gathered toShinju town. Because the soldiers have been gathered,Shinju townis on food shortage. Rumor has it that the organized military units will march in the next few days. Because the merchants were also gathered in anticipation for the wars special procurement, all the inns were full booked.3

Such was the information we had gathered.

First, we decided to go to theSlumslocated at the north of the town.

But, on the way to theSlums, I noticed an abnormal thing.

Aya, Elena, wait a moment. Yes.Whats wrong, oniichan?

There is something that showsCautionup ahead. And a lot of it. N? Monsters?4But, inside the town? I dont know if they are monsters.

How many? There are 1000 or more. 1000!!?You didnt make a mistake? I dont know. But, lets be careful.

When we were advancing carefully, a bad odor filled the surroundings. I know this smell. It smells like a rotten fish.

When we advanced deeper inside the area that smelled like a rotten fish, we encountered about five skinheads who walked slowly and blocked the road.

You, what, business. Beyond this point, our town, if no business, turn back. Ive heard that the survivors of the Scab village are here. I want to talk to them, can you let us through? Dunno, go home.

Unapproachable. I felt uncomfortable and tried to useAppraisalon these fellows.

Understood, sorry for troubling you. You two, lets leave. N? Leave?

When I looked over my shoulders, they went back to the position which wasnt visible

Those fellows are orcs! Huh!?Orc? Come to think of it, its the same smell as an orc. They are disguised as human beings usingMagic stone of human transformation! Ee!?

Using theMagic stone of human transformationthat the goblins made, the orcs snuck into the human town?I wonder what they are up to.

Perhaps, theScab village survivorsis just a deception and their true objective is to sneak into the town. That

I summoned the lightning spirit and asked it to scout theSlumsout with Ayas beacon on.

I specialized in attacking. Recently, its nothing but reconnaissance!The lightning spirit complained.

I felt uneasy. I was almost certain that before long, the situation might turn into something where the lightning spirit needs to go on a rampage.

Now then, lets go back to the town and gather information about theSlums. Okay.

We went back to the town. I was able to hear something from the elderly staff of the merchants guild.

So, theSlumsgradually grew bigger a few years ago. Aa, it is so. Since theres an unpleasant smell, no one approaches it. Its troublesome.

What did the people over there do about things like food. The aristocrat ruling this town seems to provide food to theSlumsin large quantities. Because the survivors of the Scab village cant be left alone.

What kind of relationship does the Scab village and theSlumshave? In that respect, I dont know much. There was a merchant who was from theSlumsand came into this town. Because he commonly went in and out of the Scab village, he might be the only one you could rely on.

A merchant from theSlums!? I heard that that merchant seemed to witness the Scab village when it was attacked by the demon lords army.

Perhaps, the root of this war Based on the testimony, there was a crack formed between the demons leading to this situation. I see

After listening to the story of the merchants guild staff, we left the guild. The lightning spirit also came back.

Ano, in the.Slumsthere was nothing but orcs. Nothing but orcs!?

I tried to verify the video. A guy who usedMagic stone of human transformationwas guarding near the entrance and inside theSlumswas full of orcs.

Elena, this might be bad. Your otousama, I think he is being tricked by the goblins and orcs. Its highly likely.
