When I woke up next morning, Elena, who was right next to me, came into sight immediately with her cute sleeping face. There seemed to be not much problems compared to when we are three, including Aya, slept together(there were too many problems) As one would expected, it smelled like a crime when it was only the two of us lying on the bed.

Fa.~ Good mo~ning, Seiji-sama. Good morning, Elena.

Somehow, I feel like I can exert myself to do my very best today! I waited for my rampaging tent to calm down and commence our operation.

***

First, I went to Rondos place to report the retrievalof the foodstuff. When I talked to the soldier at the camps entrance, I was able to passed through smoothly.

Yo! Rondo. I got it back. I see, then, wheres the recovered food? Im carrying it using magic, where should I put it?

Magic!?I see, Ill guide you to the food storage tent.

Led by Rondo, we came over to a huge tent. Inside the tent, there was a heap of orcs meat.

Its only an orcs meat. For some reason, the orcs meat was not stolen. I understood then when I heard yesterdays story. If the orcs were the thieves, they wont steal orcs the meat as one would expect.

Oh, I see. Was that why inside the Slums warehouse, there wasnt any orcs meat? Well, if you think about it, it was only natural.

I think the food of other troops were also mixed in the recovered food, should I put them all here? I will handle the ones for the other troops. So, its fine to put all of them here.

This man called Rondo didnt speak too much in the fighting competition, he might be a pretty excellent guy. Lets leave all the necessary arrangements and contacting the other aristocrats to him.

When I took the recovered food out of the inventory and stored them all in the tent, Rondo was surprised.

Did you get back so much food? But, its an amazing magic. If you have this kind of magic, the campaign will become much easier. How about you become my subordinate, Seiji?

I have my own work, please find someone else. What work is that?

Its to guard and assist Elena. I can understand the guard part but help her to what?

Seiji-sama and I are going to stop the war. Stop the war!?

When I explained circumstances so far to Rondo

I see, the orcs are disguising themselves usingMagic stone of Human transformationand sneak in, huh. But, if that is the case, theAzos Familywho governs this town is completely guilty. Oh, its highly likely. But, theres no evidence.

While having such talk,Vigilancemagic suddenly informed me ofDanger.

Wait a moment, it seemed something has happened. What!?

When I checked it, it was the beacon attached to the Slums food warehouses door. I projected the video so that it can also be seen by Elena and Rondo

The orcs realized something unusual inside the food warehouse and was trying to break the door open by ramming against it.

This is? I tinkered the door so it wont get noticed immediately that I got the food back. I see.

The orcs managed to somehow break the door open. When they saw the empty warehouse, they began to panic.

A High orc came over and started giving order to the orcs. It seemed to be the boss. After looking for a while, the high orc took out aMagic stone of Human transformationand disguised itself as a human.

When Rondo saw it, he suddenly exclaimed.

Ah, Ive seen this guy!

Youve seen the high orc who disguised itself as a human? Yes, that fellow was the one who testified that Scab village has been destroyed by the demon lords army, theMerchant of the Slums!

Well, I think it was only natural for it to be an orc since the Slums was full of orcs. It was a high orc, huh.

When watching the situation for awhile Another person, a human appeared.

A-, Azos!?

When I turned on the sound

Azos-sama, its, as you see. Moron!Didnt I tell you to put someone and guard it properly!? I, guarded, properly. But, it was stolen.

Does it mean, Azos-dono was the one who gave the order directly

Rondo looked at Azos, disgusted.

Shall we go there? Go there?But, wouldnt he ran away by then?

Well, just leave it to me. Elena will go as well. Yes, Seiji-sama. What on earth are you going to do?

I had Rondo wear his armor and hold his weapon. We teleported to where Azos is usingTeleportation.

***

Yo! Azos-san. What are you doing in a place such as this with nothing but orcs?

Fa!?Y-, You guys are!?Where on earth did you come from!? Azos-dono, you still wont be able to talk your way out of here.

Rondo, you!1 A mere greenhorn dare to oppose me!Oy, you guys, kill them!

Just like an evil magistrate Its like we are inside a scene of some retired crepe wholesaler.

The cast are, Rondo and me as Suke-san and Kaku-san, while Elena is Komon-sama.1 I would like to see Elena as Komon-sama.~Hn?Why am I saying something strange?Well, whatever.

We were surrounded by Azos and lots of orcs.

Oy, Seiji. What should we do in this situation!? N? This much isnt a big deal, right? Im talking about Elena-sama! Elena can protect herself. What kind of stupid thing

Bakon!

When we looked towards Elena, an orc drew near unnoticed. It was knocked off of its feet.

!? Hey, are you alright? O, Ou

What are you doing!?Arent they just 3 people!?Get rid of them quickly!!

Azos clamored at the back. When I looked at Azos this way, he seemed to resemble an orc. I couldnt tell the difference when he was lined up with the orcs.

Rondo and I break into a run simultaneously and plunged into the orc horde. Me on the right, Rondo the left and *flail flail* we chopped up the orcs.

The orc hordes midsection, fortunately, projects towards Elena.

Hail!

But, the projecting orc horde fell one after another with ElenasHailattack. The orcs and Rondo were surprised at the raging hail and were confused. I dealt with the orcs during that interval.

Finally, the midsection had become exhibition of frozen orcs. Afterwards, Elena skillfully avoided Rondo and me, and dropped huge blocks of ice one after another aimed at the orcs.

Before anyone noticed it, the high orc merchant and Azos were surrounded by walls of ice, they have nowhere to escape. So this is what Elena had been aiming for!

We cleaned up the survivors and approached the High orc merchant and Azos

One human and one monster, both were flustered.

Azos, obediently let me tie you with a rope. Rondo, you!

While Rondo seized Azos, the high orc merchant fainted.

With Azos and the High orc, who were tied up with a rope, we returned to Rondos military camp and confined them in a cage. Then, we returned to Rondos tent.

Seiji, you have my gratitude. Its Elena who played the most active role. Indeed. Elena-sama, thank you very much for your cooperation. No, its fine. More importantly, what should we do about those people?

I think we should discuss this with the leaders of the campaigning aristocrats gathered in this town. Thank you very much for your help.

If possible, I want the two of you to participate in the meeting as well. I dont mind, how about you Seiji-sama? I ask you to keep me inconspicuous as much as possible. I understand, Ill do something.

While we are having such a talk The troops led by Lyle Gewalt had finally arrived in Shinju town.
