0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 120
“Myumu~”
When the white fur ball burst into a small cry, the knights stretched out their spears and said.
“My king. Please give me orders.”
“I will wipe out these cheeky monsters at once.”
I put my hand up to calm them down.
“Everyone roll down the windows. We are not here to fight them.”
This is why I brought heavy armor.

Just because the torso of the Muse is small and cute doesn’t mean they are weak.
Because these guys are very good at incapacitating enemies by firing poison needles.
Even if you attack from an ambush just like before, a unit will be annihilated in an instant.
However, they could not use any power against the heavy armor that deflected their poison needles.
“Raphael. It is your turn.”
“Yes.”
As Raphael chanted the magic spell, a magic circle was created below it.
The muses exclaimed in exclamation as if her brightly shining magic seemed miraculous.
“Mu~”
After finishing the spell, Raphael opened his closed eyes and spoke to me.
“It is done.”
“Good job.”
I turned to the muses.
“Muses. We are not here to fight. I just came because I wanted to ask you a few things.”
The muses who understood my words were surprised and said,
“Humans know how to speak our language!”
“I am a mysterious human being Mew!”
It was all thanks to Raphael’s magic that they suddenly became able to understand me.
But even if I explain it briefly,
“How do humans use our language?”
“It looks like a human, but it looks like it’s from our species!”
These guys weren’t listening to me at all.
At other times, I would have been annoyed, but
‘cute······.’
Even though I was irritated by that crazy cuteness, it soon faded.
After a while, they came up to me and said,
“Wonderful human. I will guide you to our chief.”
yes. It just seemed like it would make the conversation quicker.
“Let it be.”
Then the muses suddenly jumped up and clung to the bodies of the knights.
“Myumu~!”
“Oh!”
“Huh!”
The startled knights flinched.
When the muses recognize the other person as a friend, they approach without hesitation and climb onto their heads or shoulders like that.
“Ears, cute.”
“Wake! You never know when these guys will change and attack.”
“What are these little precious children attacking!”
“right. Such a cold-hearted fellow!”
The knights quickly fell in love with the cuteness of the muses.
That was the scary thing about Muse.
With that cuteness alone, it is to monopolize people’s love in an instant.
The practice of catching muse and selling them as pets was not widespread.
“Welcome mew!”
“They are humans, humans!”

Going deep into the forest, I came across a village where the muses live together.
The houses they built and lived in were all small, befitting that little hair ball.
no. It feels like there are sandcastles that are about to collapse when the wind blows.
We arrived at the end of the village, receiving a warm welcome from the muses.
And there was their chief.
“Youngcha~ Youngcha~”
The Muses built a tower with their bodies to provide a foothold for the Chief to climb, and thanks to that, the Chief stood on his own two feet at eye level similar to mine.
“Welcome to the town of muses, mu.”
The chieftain, with a staff in one hand and a long beard down his nose in a tuft of hair, was trembling.
[Mudrel]
The patriarch of the muses, the mudrel.
I remember seeing it a few times while playing the game in the past.
Even back then, the image of her supporting her round body by relying on her cane like that was very cute, and it remained in my memory intensely.
“What are the humans up to here?”
“Do you know where the dwarves who originally settled here have gone?”
“A dwarf?”
Mudrel stroked his beard and salivated.
“Hmm – we don’t even know about dwarves mu. I didn’t even know that dwarves lived here. We were just moving around looking for something to eat.”
The Muses are not a race that conquers or causes a fight.
As Mudrel said, they are always on the move looking for something to eat.
“Looks like there’s a lot to eat here, right?”
“Yes mu. The smooth trees are piled up like a mountain here mu.”
At that story, I frowned for a moment.
isn’t there something strange
It is said that rare trees are piled up here like a mountain.
Where did the dwarves live?
‘Bandul trees are very toxic, so I’d probably burn most of them to get rid of them.’
The bandul tree is a very small tree that is only 1m tall at the longest.
But did I mention that small peppers are spicy?
It contained a lot of terrifying deadly poison, and it was so dangerous that even the wrong touch could cause poisoning.
But for the Muses here, the smooth tree was the best food.
Muses have deadly poison in their bodies, so they are immune to poison. That’s why this species could eat the half tree deliciously.
“Smooth tree~!”
“Smooth tree!!”
They were muses who hopped around with their arms raised high as soon as the topic of smooth trees came out. As much as they love the half tree. no. Worship.
In fact, there is a custom of making a smooth wooden stone statue to serve.
“Can you see where the smooth trees are piled up like a mountain?”
“Of course Mu. Since you are our guest, we will treat you especially to the smooth tree mew!”
Mudrel gladly led us to a place where there was a half tree.
Somewhere out of town,
‘what. It’s a whole field, isn’t it?’
Truly, as Mudrel said, the smooth trees were piled up like a mountain.
It was because the muses were sawing hard and cutting and stacking the trees in half.
However, no matter how you look at it, it didn’t come naturally.
It seemed that someone had intentionally planted only smooth trees here and organized the field systematically.
But who the hell would do this?
“human. Means we welcome you mu. We will give you the most precious Bandeul tree.”
After thinking for a while, the muses held out to me a cut-and-dried tree.
Then, Raphael’s high-pitched voice came from behind.
“No!”
She quickly came up to me and said.
“The Bandeul tree contains deadly poison. You can die from just one bite.”
At those words, the knights who had been staring blankly at the muses who were sawing from zero to zero came to their senses.
“How dare these guys!”
“You’re trying to murder our king!”
As they raised their weapons in anger, the muses who were riding on top of them in a friendly way jumped from place to place as if they had been electrocuted in amazement.
I stopped the knights before these cute muses were skewered like Tanghulu.
“There is no need to make a fuss. The muses just welcome me and give me what they value most. How can I reject them?”
“Ah, but the king. As Raphael said, there is a terrifying deadly poison…!”
I glanced at the article commenting on me.
“Do you think that deadly poison would dare to harm me?”
“…”
I accepted the smooth tree carefully handed over by the muses.
In fact, I’ve been curious since before.
What the hell is this deadly poison-filled bandeul tree that makes the muses so enthusiastic about it?
And most of all, don’t I have the characteristic of being alone.
‘Couldn’t this poison die as an exception in the poisonous body?’
I suddenly felt that kind of anxiety, but I put the smooth tree into my mouth without hesitation at the bravado that boiled over once and the eyes of those bright muses looking at me.
“…!”
And the response came.
It’s not a deadly poison, it’s a delicious reaction that makes you feel refreshed.
In a cartoon I watched as a child, when I ate delicious food, waves hit me from behind and I go on a space trip, making a fuss, and that was the first moment I understood.
‘What, what is this? Why is it so delicious?’
Crunchy, sweet, and even stimulating, the crystallization of this indescribable taste.
It was only then that I thought I knew why the muses love the smooth tree so much.
What a heavenly taste.
“Wow, my king. Gwa, are you okay?”
In response to the knight’s question, I grabbed hold of the mental cord that I had temporarily let go.
It was such a great taste that it made me forget even this bravado for a moment.
“Didn’t you tell me? It means that this kind of deadly poison can’t do anything to the main seat.”
I took down all the rest of the half-trees.
“It’s amazing Mu. Other races often fell down after eating the half-tree we gave you, but you look good.”
Did you know that and gave it to me to eat?
I don’t know if it’s just pure or clever.
“So we are a family now!”
“Myu-mu-!”
At the cry of Chief Mudrel, the Muses burst into tears in unison.
What a family with these little kids.
It was something grandiose and strange, but there’s nothing wrong with being close to the muses.
Now that this has happened, shall we take just one to the kingdom and raise it?
It was then.
Bassrock-
The bushes swayed in front of them, and did not the cavalry with weapons appear?
Seeing that, our knights screamed and quickly rushed into a defensive posture.
“Enemy!!”
“All ready for battle!”
“Escort the king!”
Frightened by their synchronized movements, the muses hid in all directions, and the knights shouted at their opponents with stern voices.
“Reveal your affiliation!”
“Otherwise, you will face the wrath of the great Aslan!”
It was clear that the opponent was frightened by the might of our army.
They hesitated, not knowing what to do, but soon a sweet voice was heard to sort out this imminent situation.
“Oh my, who is this? Aren’t you Aslan?”
A woman who appeared on a horse slowly and coquettishly, waving a purple fan.
“Violetta?”
It was Violetta, the head of Charlene, the top family on the continent.
“The person who didn’t even look at me even when I asked him to come to my family like that, when I asked him where he was and what he was doing these days, he was here with the muses.”
no. Why is that woman here?
“You are gaining popularity wherever you go, and it seems that you have won the hearts of the muses this time as well. Ho Ho.”
Then, something suddenly came to my mind.
These half-trees seem to have been intentionally planted by someone.
And the Muses, who moved their settlements along those half-trees.
Is something not quite right?
“Violetta.”
“Yes, my king.”
“What brought you here?”
Violetta answered by briefly waving her fan as if to seduce me.
“Um~ It was just passing by. If you’re curious, would you like to accompany me? There’s nothing safer than walking at night with Aslan-nim.”
But now I was in no mood to listen to Violetta’s puns.
As I tried to advance slightly, the horse I was riding snorted hard and hit the ground hard with its hoof.
I asked, looking at Violetta coldly.
“I will ask you one last time, Violetta.”
At the same time, the peers of chaos spread in all directions.
“Kuuk!”
“Ahh!”
Then, the knights next to Violetta foamed and collapsed first, and the troops behind her fell to their knees screaming in agony.
“If you value your life, you better answer straight away.”
Violetta, who was greatly taken aback by that appearance, no longer had any temptation in her eyes. Instead, it seemed full of fear.
“What brought you here?”
