Chapter 41 – Mysterious Circumstances

Author's Note: None Today!

The queen was furious that Ren and Motoyasu refused to train, and thus she issued an order barring them from leaving the country.

The two of them had given up on the training entirely, instead preferring to lounge around or fight monsters on their own. This was quite annoying, but I mostly let Naofumi deal with it. I focused most of my time on the training instead, preferring not to indulge myself in such matters.

Naofumi, however, was constantly berating Ren and Motoyasu on the fact that they did not want to train with us. They did not care much about his complaints and called him a self-serving cheater.

In the end, Mirellia came up with a compromise. I wasn't part of it, as I spent all day training.

If Ren and Motoyasu were to eradicate some strange monsters that kept popping up around the world, which my spies had also informed me about, and that the two would participate in the wave next week, she would guarantee their freedom. They hastily agreed and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Regarding the Hengen Muso training, Rishia had apparently learned to identify the energy inside of her. Eda and Welst also had some significant improvements, and Indigo also did pretty well. I, however, didn't progress very far, most likely due to the fact that I was a hero.

After the queen struck the deal with Ren and Motoyasu, she had announced that the Hengen Muso training was over.

"Why shall we halt the training now? We were making tremendous progress."

"Due to the strange monsters emerging all across the world, the training must halt for now. Would you please help the other heroes in eliminating the threats?"

"I will eliminate the threats. However, Queen Mirellia, I must eliminate those in Arcium before dealing with the ones in your country. I am the President of Arcium after all, and I first and foremost owe my allegiance to that country."

The queen thought about it for a second, but then she agreed.

"Very well. Come back when you have dealt with the issue."

When I teleported back to Messeblick, I was informed by the Ministry of Defense that there were reports of some mysterious monsters in the newly industrialized city of Sauderhausen. There were heavy coal reserves nearby, so it had quickly become an important city and center of commerce.

"Got it. I'll deal with it immediately."

As soon as I arrived, there were a swarm of raccoon looking creatures with strange shells on their back. They were mainly targeting the grain stocks outside of town which were frequented by workers, wreaking havoc on a few plots of farmland and injuring a few people.

The army was also there, having already eliminated much of the threat. They were praising the new effectiveness of my Light Maintenance Rifles, of which they preferred to mount the larger caliber versions on filolials and horses for maximum mobility.

Then, I suddenly came up with a genius idea.

"Rojeel. Do me a favor real quick. Could you lay down right there as bait?"

"I'm not sure what you're getting at there, boss."

"Just trust me. When have my ideas ever failed?"

I covered Rojeel in rye and BioSeed plant stalks. Then, the army and I proceeded to build a barricade of sandbags behind him.

A soldier chucked an explosive at the rabid racoon, hoping to draw their attention.
