(EP.22)Angmar #2
022 – Peaceful Angmar #2
“The chaos has been cleared up by your queen, Ira. Now you can start your business with peace of mind.”
When the shattered and shattered situation was roughly sorted out, Aira shouted out loud, and people from all over the place looked at each other with a blank look.
Then I raised my hands high and shouted in an exaggerated voice.
“Everyone is praising Aira, the only queen of Angmar… ! Long live the Queen… !”
Then the people who were crawling here and there raised their hands one by one and shouted loudly.
Long live the Queen.
Long live Ira.
As people’s voices spread widely, I quickly looked into Aira’s complexion.
Aira’s expression seemed quite happy and satisfied, but seeing people praising her like this made her feel very happy.
It is natural.
As far as I know, Ira likes to be praised by others.
Actually, today, I did something that deserves praise, so it’s good to be proud of it forever. If you think Aira’s mood will get worse for the time being, I’ll have to remind her of that day.
I wondered what would happen when I saw the blood gushing out.
It was also a good choice to follow the advice of turning a crisis into an opportunity and to take advantage of the information and advantages.
Well done, me.
As I was praising myself, Gorgor, an ogre wearing shackles and bracelets, was dragged away by the crowd and spoke to me.
-Tao Gospel. promise. keep it
“It is. Pay the unpaid wages with compensation for the damage you broke. In the future, I will transfer the jurisdiction to the monster labor ministry in charge.”
– Difficult words. I do not know. However. you. I think it’s believable.
He was also able to save the ogre Gorgor without killing it.
I’ve also built up favorability, so I might be able to call that guy later when I need a fork crane.
Alright, things are going well.
Is it because you left the royal capital?
Was the royal capital Monarch City a place with a bit of bad luck in terms of feng shui?
As she was thinking about it, Queen Aira took a step back slowly.
“Where are you going?”
“I heard there is a village nearby. We will have lunch there.”
“ah.”
Ira didn’t seem in the mood to finish the walk yet. He must have been full of energy because he had just been praised by people.
Ira said.
“Maybe there are some wild monsters or slaves in that town? What is the probability of being occupied by the rebel rebels?”
Ira’s soles of the feet seemed itchy with the intention of subduing them and receiving cheers and applause from the people.
To that, I took a deep breath and gave a serious answer.
“The rebellion would not happen so easily.”
“Why? Why is there no rebellion?”
Why isn’t there a revolt?
Maybe it’s because I struggled a lot and tinkered here and there. But I couldn’t say that, so I just walked around in moderation as usual.
“Yeah, isn’t it because Aira-sama is ruling the country wisely so that rebellion does not occur… ?”
“after.”
Ira sighed deeply.
“It’s also worth considering that my political skills are too good.”
“… … .”
* * *
There was a small village near Einrich Castle with a beautiful lake view.
It is a prosperous lake town along a lake and dark forest.
The town itself was nothing special.
If I had to pick one thing that impressed me, is that it is a fairly large village with about a hundred lakes, and that it is surrounded by lakes and forests, so resources are plentiful?
It is a town where tourists who have visited Einrich Castle stay, so it is characterized by clean roads and good accessibility.
Ira and I hid our identities and entered the village.
“It’s noisy.”
“That’s it.”
I noticed that there were a bunch of people holding torches in front of the chapel located near the village vacant lot.
ㅡCome out, you desperate year!
-You’re bothering me!
Bang-bang-bang-.
The chapel is the building of the denomination.
It looked like a medieval cathedral, but as a religious building, it was a space respected by everyone.
But what the hell is it that people are so angry that they’re going to rush into the building at any moment?
“What is this? Who are you?”
As I approached them and asked, the man in the broad-brimmed straw hat spoke very angry.
“There is a witch in me. And we are a group for the promotion of slave rights.”
It’s a meeting for the promotion of slave rights.
Is this an organization that works for the rights of slaves? I think I heard something similar from the ogre Gorgor before.
Aira, who was wearing a hood, asked.
“Then you say you are slaves?”
“no. We are slave masters. We are a civic organization that wants to guarantee slaves the right to be whipped.”
“You’re also defending that slaves have a right to be whipped! He also published a book on how to live a proper master-slave relationship with a companion slave. Five silver per volume, sold at the kiosk over there.”
What other right is that?
There must have been a reason the soldiers were talking about it earlier.
It was at that time when I thought my eyes were going dark because I thought that strange groups were constantly increasing.
Bang, quajik-.
The door of the chapel, where people were knocking, finally could not bear the weight and was pushed inward and fell.
“The door is open! Go in!”
At the same time, several people rush into the open space and bring something out. It was a certain girl who was caught in people’s arms and pulled out.
A girl in a nun’s suit.
“Hey… ! hehe… ! let this go… !”
“Come on and take it!”
Was it about fifteen or fifteen now?
He looked young, but seeing the pointed tips of his ears, I thought he might be a nymph similar to Bienoi.
It’s a world with nymphs. Ira loved nymphs.
The people who caught the girl shouted in anger.
“Look here! this guy! Everyone who talked about rights and welfare to slaves and workers all knew the identity of this nymph as an ordinary nymph, but we got a report!”
And then he even glances at the long skirts of the nuns that come down to below the knees.
“This is nymphophobic s*xual harassment… ! I’m going to report all of you to the Nymph Relief Foundation… !”
The resistance was so strong that it felt like the case was never going to progress. But the nymph couldn’t stand the hands of the malevolent men.
“What kind of report is it, it’s not even a nymph! And, nymphs don’t talk like you do! You use a weird tone?”
And finally, when the skirt was torn and left.
– Huh.
– What is that?
– It’s ugly!
At that moment, people began to swallow each other’s breath and gossip.
And Aira, who was watching it with interest next to me, also muttered a little.
“Is that a tail?”
“That’s it. It has a tail.”
Under the torn skirt, a very thin thing about the thickness of a little finger could be seen swaying to and fro.
salang, salang.
It had a tail resembling a heart with a pointed tip. Will it be about the length of my arm?
A scarlet heart tail.
And that means one thing.
“This guy was an imp, not a nymph! A fake nun!”
“Imp. I have an imp!”
“It’s the devil’s horn! The demon king’s minions have come all the way here!!”
People were almost crazy. They frothed their mouths and raised and lowered the torch, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
“Fire! Burning!”
“Put the fire on!”
A fake nun, whose identity is discovered as an imp, shouts.
“Hey, what’s wrong with the imp! I, Marmar, didn’t do anything bad!? Rather, I do volunteer work, help people, and give legal advice-.”
“No, it’s the devil!”
“Arr, Garr, Imp, Imp, Burning!”
“Raise the firewood! Make a fire!”
Imp is every goblin.
He’s Angmar’s minion, but because he’s a rare race like a nymph, did I mention that he’s on the verge of extinction now that the Demon King has been subjugated?
At least that’s how it was portrayed in the novel Villain Hunter.
Being outgoing like a little girl, she induces vigilance and deceives people.
Most of them were magicians of the Demon King’s army, and it is said that the fear and hatred of the Imps are still deeply rooted in people.
It actually seemed so.
But the fake nun, the imp, shouted like it was unfair.
“What is the difference between me and a nymph? It is politically wrong to be discriminated against for having only one tail! The nymphs even created a relief foundation to protect them!”
“Hey, how are you and the nymphs!?”
At the cry of someone, Sister Imp asks in reverse as if it was supported by evil.
“Where is the difference between me and the nymphs?”
“Well. Well… .”
The man who claimed that the imp and the nymph were different put his hand on his chin and seemed to ponder for a while, then said cautiously.
“… The difference between an imp and a nymph, um. Nymphs don’t have tails.”
“Is that over?”
There are stories of how he responds to him.
“Yeah, right! Nymphs have no tails!”
“Yeah, imps have tails!”
After all, is there no difference between an imp and a nymph other than their tail?
As I was compiling the story of the new information, the Imp, whose limbs were caught by the men, shook his head as if he couldn’t communicate.
“Ugh, it’s useless to say anything to the idiots.”
“Hey, that naughty b*tch called us idiots! This is absolutely unacceptable treatment! I, Orkos, chairman of the Slave Owners’ Advocacy Committee, propose that this naughty imp be burned at the stake!”
“agree!”
“agree!”
All of a sudden, the imp was hanging on something similar to a cross, and a lot of firewood was placed under it. If you stay like this, you may be burned to death right in front of your eyes.
“Hey, it’s the first time I’ve seen an imp. It’s the first time I’ve seen an imp on fire.”
Even Aira is showing quite a bit of interest.
What if Aira sees a burning imp and becomes fascinated by arson and evolves into a mad emperor, Aira, who burns the city on fire?
Then it might end up going to the guillotine.
I thought I had to stop this situation somehow. So, one by one, I approached the people who were stacking firewood and said,
“So, what crime did that imp have committed?”
“Can’t you see? You have a tail! This is a huge sin! The tails of the Imps are snazzy pockets of evil. It is a sin just to have it on it!”
“So, are you saying that being born as an imp is a sin in itself?”
“You are a quick-witted brother. And they called us idiots. That is absolutely unacceptable. I’m on fire!”
Wow, burn! ‘ I asked again to the shouting people.
“Sentence at the stake is a very serious sentence. Can I judge it so arbitrarily? Should I at least ask the judges or advisors of the kingdom for an opinion?”
“We’ve been doing this since the beginning, and let this be a local practice. Rather, he seems to be an outsider. Why are you always on the side of the Imp?”
I felt the torch and bamboo spear pointing towards me.
“You talk like an imp human rights activist. Are you trying to get rid of evil?”
“No, that’s not it.”
The words ‘Tae-oh was executed according to his karma’ spread deep in my head.
The man who identified himself as the blah chairman patted his beard, looked up and down, and added a few words.
“Look, it looks like he wants to save that imp from the fire. Then pay the fine and take over.”
Oh, I mean, solve it with money.
“how much?”
“Let’s see, if you convert the total amount of damage caused by the slaves who escaped by the imps and the strikers, um-. Twelve gold coins. It seems like it would be.”
It was a bigger value than expected.
However, considering the price to prevent Aira from evolving into a catastrophe of fire, it did not feel too expensive.
I pulled out twelve gold coins from my pocket, put them in the chairperson’s hand, and in the end was able to obtain a deed to Imp Marmar.
“As written here, you can eat three meals a day. Snacks can be spoiled if you give them too much, so only give them something to praise.”
“ah… .”
“I exercise and go for a walk sometimes. It is best to hit one whip a day. Please note that refunds are not possible. Heh, then let’s go to the next town!”
Let’s go, let’s go. Wow-.
Those who had gathered rushed out.
I wondered where they would go and what they would do, but I was exhausted in many ways and had no motivation to pursue them.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now, all that is left in this wide open space is me and Ira, who makes a long snoring as if something is missing. And there was only Imp Marmar.
Ira said.
“I’ve been wanting to see the Imp on fire, too. So, Tae. Where are you going to use the imp?”
I don’t know either.
However, I couldn’t answer that way, so I decided to look around in moderation.
“I also thought it would be nice to have a servant who could do various chores.”
I bought it with money, so I have to use it somehow.
However, it seems that this Imp was not a very accommodating guy.
“Money can’t buy people’s rights! And don’t touch my tail!”
“that’s interesting. It really has a tail.”
Aira glanced at the Imp’s slender tail, and saw the quivering tail slipped into the torn skirt and wrapped around her waist.
It has its tail rolled up like a belt.
Aira, who was watching the scene, said.
“I wanted to see more outside. It’s gotten better now. Tae-oh, come back.”
“Oh, yes. I will see you. Marumaru, let’s go.”
“It’s not Marumaru, it’s Marmar. First of all, since I have nowhere to go, I will follow you. Know that I am not your slave.”
I was wondering what to do if I ran away on the way.
Fortunately, it was not true that there was nowhere to go. In fact, even if you run away, you can catch them quickly, but if you do, the imp you bought for 12 gold coins could be hurt.
“We are just a bilateral contractual relationship driven by debt. The contract between us will be null and void when we pay the full amount owed.”
fine fine.
He followed us and chimed very loudly. My only impression is that he’s a guy with difficult words.
Are you smarter than you think?
A smart servant is good.
But when Ira and Ira were about to enter the courthouse, he was startled, like a cat that found its owner soaking in the bathtub.
“Hey, you can’t go in there! A fearsome Witch King lives!”
What is he saying now.
Oh, by the way, you didn’t tell us who we were.
