“Hey, heck!”
Myra gasped for breath as if she had run all the way from her room without stopping.
“what’s the matter?”
“Ah, the uncle showed it to me.”
“show me?”
She looked up at Brannon, the uncle she was talking about. He wasn’t wearing his usual laid-back expression, but a frighteningly serious one.
“He came into my head and showed me the future.”
Advent Yeji.
It seems that the precognitive attribute was exerted and blood flowed from her nose.
Brennan, who has the same foreknowledge trait, must have been more mentally consuming since he descended, but running all the way here doesn’t seem like an ordinary thing.
“What did you see?”
“I saw this place being attacked. At first, I didn’t know where it was because the village was being attacked, but I knew that Gairin was being attacked because I saw reason.”
From noble mtl dot com
“attack? who!”
I bit my lip until it bled. I was so careful not to reveal my true identity, but an attack!?
“At that time, there were monsters called teeth, a huge monster with red skin, and many other monsters.”
Then it was decided who the attacker was.
Gluttony.
I don’t know what Gluttony did, but he noticed this place and was aiming for it.
But he can’t move now, how could he…
“Have you seen anything else? Like the time or the date.”
“Once, it was night.”
“Night, and?”
“I looked at various things in the village, and among them there was a letter that said, “Congratulations, opening a business…”
“Opening?”
“I don’t know what it was, but there was a sign next to it that said, ‘Gairin ka…’”
“casino!”
I clenched my palms.
I got a very important hint. The ‘Gairin Car’ that Myra mentioned must be the signboard of the Gairin Casino that will open this time.
In addition, since they said they saw a sign saying it was open, it meant that they would be raiding on the opening day of the gambling house two days later.
“Peru.”
“yes?”
I called Peru, who was dumbfounded, not understanding the conversation between Myra and I.
“Call the magistrate and constable.”
Raid Preparedness (2)
“Can I take you to the office?”
“okay.”
“All right. I’ll upload them both right away.”
“Call Arin, Clyde, and Brica as well.”
“yes!”
As if he knew that Peru wasn’t normal, he moved his body right away without asking me anything.
“Myra. What kind of monsters appeared?”
“I don’t know much about monsters, but I’ll tell you what I saw.”
“okay.”
“First, there were zombies whose flesh was ripped off. I saw a skeleton carrying an ax or a spear, and a beast with a spotted head, but there was also a monster with a mace and a sword, but I don’t know the name.”
“A spotted beast would play.”
Gnoll has the head of a beast and the body of a bipedal humanoid monster.
“yes. There was also a large monster with red skin that I saw in Foresight, and a giant made of stone. Oh, Mr. Brannan says it’s a golem.”
“Are there any more?”
“That was all I saw. But there were a lot of numbers.”
“okay. okay.”
Most of the monsters, including zombies, ghouls, skeleton soldiers, gnolls, golems, and even monsters created by Gluttony, were easy to control due to low intelligence.
The monsters were all monsters that were easy to control from a distance.
After all, Gluttony can’t move. I’m sure you can’t afford to use your foreknowledge to find Myra.
Gluttony couldn’t move, so either they used diversionary maneuvers to take Myra alone, or someone Gluttony could entrust to them would come, but neither of them was sure.
It seems that both sides should be prepared for now.
“Myra. thank you so much.”
He wiped the blood from her nose and thanked her.
“It’s as if you’ve saved the lives of countless people living in Gairin.”
“What are you talking about? We were supposed to help each other.”
Myra looked at me boldly. It seems that her mind has matured during the time she spent with me.
“okay. It did. Thank you though. Rest now.”
“no. You might see another Wisdom… Huh?”
Myra, who had been moving vigorously until just a moment ago, grabbed her head and collapsed. I already knew that Myra would fall, so I accepted her right away without panicking.
“It’s a matter of course.”
Contrary to what Brannon had told him, this time he had seen the foresight himself, so he must have overreacted.
Myra will sleep like a dead person for a while, and it will take a lot of time until she uses her next Wisdom.
“I’ll have to take you to my room first.”
As I picked Myra up to take her to her room, I heard a sound from inside the restaurant.
“Why aren’t you coming!”
“Wait a little longer.”
“The saintess is waiting for you. I’ll go and get them.”
“Illia-sama.”
After hearing the voices of Ilia and Irea, the dining room door opened from the inside. The person who came out was Ilya, who had a sad expression on his face.
“uh?”
Ilya froze coldly when he saw Myra in my arms. Irea’s expression on the inside wasn’t much different from Illia’s.
“You called me, what the hell are you doing?”
“Sorry. Meal is canceled.”
“what?”
“yes?”
Irea, who was sitting at the table, also walked to the door. The two women stared at Myra and me.
“There is a problem.”
“What problem?”
“Is it a problem?”
Can I tell these two?
I thought about Ilia and Irea.
They are the people who become the main character’s allies from the original work to the end, and they feel a crush on me more than the main character of the original work. It seemed like it could be said honestly.
“okay. I think I have to tell you too, so please come to the office in a minute.”
“Ah, I see.”
“I’m sorry, but would you like the saintess to come to the office too?”
“all right.”
The two of them seemed to have a lot to ask, but my expression was so serious that I said nothing and just nodded.
When he saw the two of them going up to his room, he took Myra to her room. After giving instructions to the servants to take good care of him, he went up to the office.
“Meet the lord.”
“Meet the lord!”
Pyran, the administrator, and Panton, the magistrate, were waiting at the door of the office.
“Let both of you come in.”
“yes!”
“Sit down.”
The two of them sat on chairs in the office with tense expressions on their faces. I was suddenly called, and since my expression is not good, it seems that I am thinking about many things.
smart.
“come in.”
The door opened and Arin, Creed, and Brika came inside. Judging by the red sauce smeared on Brica’s mouth, it seems that they were also called during the meal.
“Everyone, wait a moment. Peru.”
“yes!”
“Bring Rodien too.”
“All right.”
Since I had to say it anyway, I thought it would be a good idea to tell Rodien in advance. She, too, will be of great help in stopping this attack.
After a while, Irea, Ilia, and even Rodien arrived at the office.
The people gathered were looking at me with eyes mixed with tension and bewilderment. Standing in the middle of them, he looked at everyone at once.
I didn’t just see it, I used my eyes to read their liking and thoughts.
everything is believable
People here had more than trust in me. I opened my mouth, convinced that the information would not be leaked even if I released it to them.
“I’m sorry I made everyone gather during my private time, but I couldn’t help it because it was important.”
“it’s okay!”
Brica was the first to answer in a loud voice. I nodded at him and looked at everyone again.
“I don’t know what they think, but the people here called me because they thought I could be trusted.”
People’s expressions changed. There were people who openly liked it, and there were people who secretly smiled, but everyone saw my expression as hard as a stone and became expressionless again.
“The story I am going to tell you from now on should not go into anyone’s ears. Those who do not have the confidence to protect them, go out through that door now.”
He pointed to the door of the office with his hand. People weren’t looking at my fingers, they were looking at my eyes.
“Now that everyone has agreed, let’s start talking. When I went outside this time, I accidentally saved one person.”
“Are you talking about that woman?”
Ilya asked a question as if he had been waiting.
“that’s right. I accidentally saved her from being attacked by monsters, but as it turned out, she was no ordinary person.”
“If you’re not an ordinary person, what kind of royalty are you?”
Cryde asked with a questioning look on his face.
“It is even greater and rarer than that. She has the power of foreknowledge.”
“prognosis?”
“If yes…”
“Foresight is the power to see the future, the power to know and change the future. She can’t control herself yet, but she has the power of a seer.”
“uh…”
Those who heard my words made faces as if their souls had gone out of their minds. They looked at me and seemed to be contemplating whether to trust me or not.
“She saw the future of this place with her foreknowledge.”
Everyone was staring at my mouth and swallowing dry saliva.
“The future she saw was that monsters would attack Gairin two days later in the evening.”
“yes?”
“Is that really true?”
“that…”
“I went with her and saw her use her precognitive powers. Even though the future may change, the incident still happened. It means that the attack in two days has already been decided.”
“uh…”
Clyde and Brica looked at me with breathless expressions, Irea and Ilia with expressions of incomprehension. Arin and Rodien calmly listened to my story.
“Yuren. Can you really believe that foreknowledge?”
“okay. Are you sure.”
“hmm…”
After answering firmly, the faces of Ilia and Irea gradually turned serious.
“Even if an attack doesn’t happen, you have to be prepared.”
“That’s right. So what do you do? Will you get any support?”
“no. Gairin is originally a place where monsters don’t appear often. They’ll think it’s strange if you suddenly ask for support, but you shouldn’t say anything like foreknowledge or prophecy.”
“That’s true, but…”
If you hear the story of Myra as a prophet, there will be an uproar across the continent to take her away. The voice of wisdom must never come out.
“I have something in mind for support, so I will take care of it. First of all, speaking of monsters, the number of raids is high, but the quality is not good. They say that most of them are gnolls, undead, and golems.”
“Undead! Those bastards again!”
Everyone was surprised by Irea’s sudden swearing and made a puzzled expression.
“Oh, sorry, sorry.”
Irea bowed her head, perhaps realizing that she had made a mistake.
“Even if the monsters are weak, you can’t just leave people alone. How will the villagers be evacuated?”
Ilya looked at Irea for a while and then asked a question to lighten the mood. I’ve already thought of ways to prepare people.
“Since there was an attack by the Living Armor a while ago, we will evacuate everyone to the vicinity of the castle, saying that we are practicing evacuation in preparation for something similar to happen.”
“That’s a good idea. If we evacuate in advance, casualties can be minimized.”
“you’re right. Since the attack by the Living Armor was serious, the people of the territory must still be alert.”
Pyran and Pantone nodded as if it was a good idea.
“The place where the territories are gathered will set up a barrier to prevent intrusion from outside.”
“A barrier?”
“A barrier? Does Yuren-sama know how to create barriers?”
At the word barrier, Rodien and Irea looked at me in surprise.
“I can create a simple barrier. An evil-headed monster is a barrier that cannot be invaded even if it takes a lifetime.”
“You are amazing.”
“I want the saintess to put divine power on that barrier.”
“Sure! Please leave it to me.”
It was really fortunate that Ilia and Irea came. Since the two of them came with their own escort knights, they will be more powerful than expected.
“Marshal.”
“yes!”
“How is the training of the soldiers?”
From noble mtl dot com
“All basic training has been completed. One person can do it.”
“Good. The soldiers will be released from dawn tomorrow and all the villagers will be trained to evacuate in preparation for a monster raid from the afternoon of the next two days.
“All right!”
Pantone got down on his knees and bowed his head, signifying that he was following orders.
“Include the words that those who faithfully participate will be rewarded, and those who do not will be severely punished.”
“All right.”
I removed the map of Gairin from behind the desk in the office and put it on the table for all to see.
“I plan to set up a barrier here.”
Since many people would gather, he planned to set up a wide range of welcome camps, including the lower part of Mount Ekil, the entire castle, and the entrance to the village.
“The range is wide, is that okay?”
“okay. It doesn’t matter, I’ll install it in advance.”
“What are you going to do after that?”
Arin, who had been listening quietly, opened his mouth.
“In the afternoon, when all the villagers enter the barrier, we will activate the barrier and place you and the mercenaries in the village. There are still many mercenaries left in the village, so they will be of great help. Ilya. Can you help too?”
“Are you saying that?”
