Episode 96. Seven Paladins (6)
Dina Commando and we moved to the village.

“They are Holy Knights!”
“You came to save us!”
“You idiot! “Malak called me!”
The residents of Matva welcomed the Dina commandos with great enthusiasm. Somehow, they seem to like it more than when we first came.
Is it true that he is the idol of civilized people and the ultimate pride of mankind, a paladin?
If it were from another world, it would be a hero position.
“Are these people all going to the Tribal Alliance once the sea monster subjugation is over?”
Dina, who came here after receiving hospitality from the villagers, asked me.
It seemed like they were asking you if they were people worth saving.
– They are now my believers.
Of course it’s worth saving.
I am a person with a lot of love for humanity, but it is not because I am intoxicated by the job of God.
As the number of believers increases, the score is copied. Save people and earn points.
This kills two birds with one stone.
– All believers will be under protection.
And… I think it is right to save it if it can be saved. I’m not trying to talk about justice, morality, beliefs or anything like that.
It’s just because I’m uncomfortable. If the conditions aren’t right, it’s worth a try, but it’s not a good idea to abandon it to save yourself.
I’m sure one day, I’ll regret it and say, ‘I should have said that.’ At the same time, your mentality will be greatly diminished.
Rather than having my humanity wear away and disappear, it is better to live as a person who makes small gains and sometimes suffers losses.
“…Are you planning to rebuild this world?”
Dina glanced at the crops that had grown strong thanks to the power of the rain god. She must have heard the villagers whispering earlier, ‘Malak did it.’
– I promised victory and glory to my followers. That’s what I will do.
Reconstruction. Honestly, I haven’t even thought about it that far. I’m busy suppressing demons, so I don’t even have time to think about reconstruction.
If you remain here after clearing, it would be fun to help or watch the rebuilding.
– …
I fought hard to defeat the Demon King, and looking back on the world I saved, I feel satisfied.
Wow. What a romantic ending this is.
At least all the stories about heroes from another world I’ve seen had this ending.
There were works in which the hero was betrayed and died or fell in love with the devil, but I didn’t like those endings ever since I was young.
It is better to survive badly than to die beautifully and meaningfully. I think a forced happy ending is better than a likely bad ending.
That kind of small happiness can be given to a warrior who has worked hard.
“As your guardian said, you may be someone the world truly needs.”
Dina laughed and left, saying that she was tired and needed to rest a bit.
This is someone the world truly needs… I’m scared that I no longer cringe at words like this.
Time passed quickly as we each prepared a place to stay, finished eating, and took a rest. It’s already evening.
The sea monster subjugation team gathered in front of the lantern and made plans for the future.
What can you say about the sight of seven sisters: Lake, Hannah, Dina, Gukbap, Jackson, and Bella, surrounding a lantern? Should I say it’s like an adventurer’s party?
It would have been more like an adventurer’s party if it had been in front of a bonfire instead of a lantern, but because of the sea monster, they couldn’t make a fire.
“Dina, when did you arrive at Matba?”
Hannah started asking questions first. He looks calm now, probably getting used to the situation.
“It was last night.”
“I think you were wandering around Matba. Did you see the sea monsters’ stronghold?”
“No. “Everyone was exhausted from the march, so I was alone exploring the city.”
“And then you ran into us.”
Dinah nodded her head.
“Netcam… “Do you know where they are based?”
It was Jackson who asked the question. It’s a bit awkward that Westerners say ‘netkama’ in the Middle Ages.
It’s not for no reason that everyone has a nervous expression.
Earlier, Lakhe also asked me what netkama meant.
‘So, Netcam… Are you saying that is what a man says when he pretends to be a woman? A cross-dressing man… What is it?’
‘Yes? So, does that mean that the paladin is a man and not a woman? How could that body… ‘
‘I don’t understand it even more. ‘Why does a woman call herself a man dressed as a woman?’
I also gave up trying to explain. I can’t believe it’s so difficult to make a barbarian understand the concept of netkama.
Wouldn’t it be as difficult as making the warriors of the Mongol Empire understand the concept of vegetarianism?
“Yes. “They are living near the port.”
“How many are there?”
“More than 200 people. “It’s easier to think of them all as warriors.”
Hanna added that everyone was holding a weapon.
“200 People… “It won’t be easy.”
“Each one of those who fought in Quinton was as strong as a lesser demon. “The person who led their actions was strong enough to rival a mid-level demon.”
Jackson sighed, and Dina looked at the lantern with thoughtful eyes.
– Asha is the incarnation of God. An incarnation is a person who shares in the power of a god. She must have powers beyond that of a mid-level demon.
I mentioned earlier that the enemy we have to deal with is a force that serves other Loa who are hostile to me, and their leader is Asha.
Although they didn’t say anything like ‘I’m different from the bad Loa’ or ‘I’ll prove that I’m not a bad Loa’, everyone seemed to vaguely know it.
The fact that I am the only Loa who is friendly to civilized people and the possessed.
“…I have to assume that that Asha is a high-ranking demon.”
Dina’s sculptural face hardened. It is an expression that shows her leader’s responsibility and agony.
“It might be a little difficult with the seven of us.”
– Don’t be afraid. I am with you.
Uh huh. Seven. I have it too.
I lightly scolded Dinah for speaking weakly.
I can make ordinary soldiers become as strong as lesser demons. You can apply a wide-area debuff to hinder the enemy’s movements, or you can continuously heal allies.
If the fight gets longer, you can increase the number of allies by controlling zombies.
“I heard that there was a battle with a dark cloud demon. And she survived. “There’s nothing to be afraid of, right?”
Lake, who speaks confidently, is also the owner of the hidden piece, the Meteor Sword. If it were a meteor sword, the rose sword of this world, it would be able to cut Asha’s crab shell.
“That’s right. “I’ve fought against dark clouds, but what’s so big about a crustacean monster?”
Gukbap chuckled.
“I really thought I was going to die.”
“Dina, if it weren’t for her sister, she would have died.”
“Her legs didn’t move.”
Sisters Jackson and Bella also added a word. A strong camaraderie can be seen in their gaze.
“…I see.”
Dinah’s stiff face softened slightly.
Ha, it’s nice that the atmosphere has become warmer.
‘Malak, please respond. The girl Asha is desperately looking for you.’
‘Are my prayers truly not reaching you? Are you having any personal problems? To the extent that it is difficult to receive prayers?
‘My beloved, please give me the answer.’
In the meantime, spam messages (voices) keep coming to Asha. This is yandere spam that is more terrible than a romance scam.
I tried to ignore it and focus on the conversation again, but this time something happened in the tribal alliance.
‘Malak, this is Priest Paya!’
Several soldier demons invaded the nearest village of Symphonia under the cover of night.
Write. Seeing how busy he is, it doesn’t seem like God is necessarily a good thing.
After saying she would be away for a while, she transferred her consciousness to Totem No. 2. Totem No. 2 Was in the arms of Paya, who was flying in the sky on Tunteun-i’s back.
“It’s over there!”
I confirmed where Paya was pointing. Six soldier demons are gathered together and drawing something like a magic circle.
Seeing that it had taken some shape, it seemed like it would be completed soon.
This is an emergency.
– Where are the warriors?
“I’m on my way now.”
– How long do you think it will take?
“…I think it will take at least 7 minutes.”
No. Too slow.
– We take care of it.
About five would be fine.
“Yes!”
Kwiik!
Dunteun shouted as if he understood. Did Beatrice say, ‘The basis of the power that forms the spirit is concentrated in one entity?’
As the saying goes, the current Danteun was getting stronger day by day.
To the point where I wonder if the evolving monster is not Atomic Rex, but Tuntun.
“Let’s go!”
At Paya’s command, Tunteun quickly descended. Paya’s hair and collar blow in the strong wind.
Danteun-i arrived above the heads of the soldier demons and spouted fire.
Grumble!
It is not a fire ball like before, but a fire breath.
Soldier demons engulfed in fire rolled on the floor. Those who were not hit by the breath rushed forward, but were torn apart by Tuntuni’s sharp claws.
– There is only one left.
He pointed to the soldier demon who was still scribbling the magic circle.
Tenteun spread his wings wide and flapped them. Blade-like feathers are pouring out.
Wow… !
The last soldier, the devil, became a hedgehog and fell.
“I won! Good job! “Dutunni is the best!”
Paya smiles brightly and pats Tuntuni’s head.
– Thank you for your hard work.
I didn’t know it would become this strong. If you’re strong enough, wouldn’t it be okay to consider yourself a level 5-6 paladin?
Anyway, the midnight commotion ended easily.

“I will do so.”
“Let’s start in earnest starting tomorrow.”
When I came back, the conversation was over.
… Lakhe will explain it well, right?
