RAW



 【次期皇帝視点：八十日目】

 　私は許嫁であり婚約者にして最愛の人 ―― シュテルンベルト王国の第一王女 ―― であるディアーナを蝕む憎き “ クリシンド病 ” を消し去るため、ありとあらゆる術を使って治療法を探し、ようやく【癒しの亜神】の【天啓】によってその存在を知る事ができた治療薬.

 　その治療薬を精製する技法を受け継いでいるエルフと度重なる交渉をし、多額の金貨と引き換えに得ようとした.

 　しかし交渉してもエルフの古き掟に阻まれて治療薬は得られず、こうして力尽くで得るために兵を率いて森にまでやってきる.



 　当初ではここまで手古摺るはずではなかったが、予想以上にエルフの抵抗が激しく、こちらの被害も馬鹿にならない.

 　森の中は罠だらけで進行速度が遅く、出没するモンスターは障害になり、木陰や夜闇に紛れて射かけられるエルフの矢が厄介だ.

 　流石に彼らの森だけあって、一度逃げられれば追う事すらままならない. 連絡が取れない部隊も幾つかあり、既に全滅していると思われる.

 　ただこの被害が全てエルフだけによるもの、だとは私には思えなかった.

 　私の勘ではエルフの他に、厄介な存在が居る、と感じていた.

 　それがどのような存在なのかはハッキリとしない. ただ、帝国が誇る最高戦力の一つである【八英傑騎甲団】に近い何かを感じるのだ.



 　 ―― そして私の勘は当たっていた.



<p class="MsoNormal"> 　私が居る本陣に、エルフ達の奇襲があった. 夜闇に紛れ、奴隷部隊が居る方面から奴隷を解放しながら向かって来ていた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　ここまで気配を気取らせずに近づいて来ていた事に驚きつつ、キメラの暴走によってその存在が発覚したのは都合がよかった. 暴走するキメラが敵と、解放された奴隷の亜人達もまとめて殺傷したからだ.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　その様子は遠くから見てもハッキリと見えた. キメラは帝国が誇る技術を集めて生み出した人造のモンスターであり、増産はまだ素材などの課題があるのでできていないが、近いうちに他国との戦場で活躍するだけの力は秘めている.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　戦鎧象と同等以上の巨躯に、帝虎の四肢、多頭蛇の毒牙、蒼殻蟹の鋏といった、一般的なモンスターを軽く凌駕した暴力を持ったキメラは、しかし呆気なく殺された.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　遠く、朝日が昇るまえだったのでそれを行った敵の姿は確認できなかったが、キメラは確かに殺された. 私はそれに呆気にとられたが、敵の攻勢が激しく、呆けたのも数秒だけだ.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　襲いかかってくる黒きスケルトンの軍勢の中に、エルフの他にオーガや半鬼人などの姿が確認できた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　やはり、敵はエルフだけではなかったのだ.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　恐らくこの森に住んでいたオーガ達がエルフと結託したのだろう混合軍は、暴れに暴れた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　特に一匹のオーガ亜種を中心とした一帯の被害は甚大で、精鋭達が次々と討ち取られていく.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　私は遠くからその様子をみながら、指示を出し、部下達を動かす事に専念していた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　距離はあり、こちらまで戦火が届いていなかったからだ.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　だから油断、があったのだろう.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　私は、周囲にいる側近達にすら気づかれる事なく背後にまでやってきた敵に、戦慄したのである.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　殺そうと思えば、私は殺されていた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　だが敵は耳元でとある事を囁き、私の胸元に液体の入った小瓶を入れた.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　中に入っているのは治療薬だという.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　得る条件は私達がこの森から撤退する事. ただそれだけだ.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　そして、私はその条件を飲んだ. エルフ達から得るべき益は確かに惜しいが、敵に命を握られてしまっては、潔く引き下がる以外に選択肢はなかった.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　私はエルフに、否、この正体不明の敵に負けたのである.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　本陣に、誰にも気取られずに忍び込むような存在だ. 私の命などその気になれば簡単に奪えただろうに、敵は交換条件を出した.

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　もし私が次期皇帝でなければ、もし敵がその事を知っていなければ、私は死んでいた.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　それに歯噛みし、いつの日かこの手でこの正体不明の、しかし現時点から私の宿敵となった敵を斃すため、怒りを堪えて撤退の命を下す.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　もしこの治療薬が偽物ならば例えこの身朽ち果てようとも屠ると心に決めながら、私は森を去った.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 　苦い経験であり、しかし目標を同時に得た私は、強き帝国を築くと同時に、自己を強める事を誓った.

<p class="MsoNormal">[Next emperor perspective: eighty days]

<p class="MsoNormal">I am a is beloved people in the fiance bride elect - Stern belt kingdom of first princess - for monkeys off the a is Diana the undermining hated "Kurishindo disease", is looking for a treatment using all kinds of art, finally [ therapeutic agent was able to know of its existence by [revelation] of healing Demigod].

<p class="MsoNormal">Was negotiations repeated the elf that inherited the technique to purify that therapeutic agent, it is intended to obtain in exchange for a large amount of gold coins.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, negotiations to remedy could not get Elf old law also can not be obtained, wear doing to the forest thus led the soldiers to get in by force.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Initially in was not supposed to have much trouble up here, Elf of resistance is violently than expected, not to fool even here of damage.

<p class="MsoNormal">Slow rate of progress in full of traps in the forest, monsters haunt becomes a failure, it is cumbersome elf arrows exerted morphisms under cover of darkness in the shade of a tree or at night.

<p class="MsoNormal">Indeed There is only their forest, that even Mamanaranai to follow if Rarere escape once. Contact Ali some even troops that does not take, it seems to have already been wiped out.

<p class="MsoNormal">Just what this damage is due only to all elves, but with me did not seem to me.

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the elf in my intuition, awkward presence is there, and I was feeling.

<p class="MsoNormal">It is not clear what kind of presence of the. However, I feel something close to it is one of the best forces [eight Yingjie Kikabuto-dan] that empire is proud of.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">- And my hunch was right.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">to Honjin I am, there were elves of surprise. Is undeniably in darkness at night, it was coming toward while freeing slaves from the direction of slave troops are.

<p class="MsoNormal">While surprised that it was coming closer and without putting on airs the signs so far, of its existence by the runaway of the chimera is discovered is advantageous was good. Chimera and the enemy to runaway, I because he killed together also nitrous people of slaves freed.

<p class="MsoNormal">Its appearance seemed clearly even when viewed from a distance. Chimera is a monster of a man-made that produced by collecting technology empire is proud of, increase in production is not yet possible because there is a problem, such as material, it is hidden only forces active in the battlefield with other countries in the near future.

<p class="MsoNormal">To war armor elephant and equal to or greater than the big frame, the limbs of Teitora, poison fang of Taatamahebi, such as scissors of Aoikarakani, chimera with a typical lightly surpassed the violence the monster, but all too soon was killed.

<p class="MsoNormal">Far away, because it was before the morning sun rises and was not able to confirm the appearance of the enemy that was it, chimera was certainly killed. I have it to have been taken aback, intense enemy offensive, it's just a few seconds of blurred.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">come Kuroki in the army of skeletons attacked, it figures such as auger and half demon who could be confirmed in addition to the elf.

<p class="MsoNormal">Again, the enemy we were not the only elf.

<p class="MsoNormal">Mixed army probably auger who lived in this forest is probably was collusion with the elves, was rampage in Rampage.

<p class="MsoNormal">Especially the enormous zone of damage with a focus on one animal of the auger subspecies, elite who go are one after another Uchitora.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">While I look at the situation from a distance, it issues an instruction, was devoted to moving the subordinates us.

<p class="MsoNormal">Distance there, because had not arrived until the war here.

<p class="MsoNormal">So off guard, probably there were.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">I, the enemy came up behind without being even aware of the entourage who are in the surrounding area, it is to that horror.

<p class="MsoNormal">If you think that it kill him, I had been killed.

<p class="MsoNormal">But enemies whisper a phrase that in my ear, I was placed in a container with a small bottle of liquid in my chest.

<p class="MsoNormal">That's a therapeutic agent to enter inside.

<p class="MsoNormal">conditions to obtain that we have to withdraw from this forest. It is just it.

<p class="MsoNormal">And I drank the condition. Although benefit to be obtained from the elves certainly regrettable, is gone being held life to the enemy, there was no choice but to back down gracefully.

<p class="MsoNormal">I Elf, yea, is was defeated in this unidentified enemy.

<p class="MsoNormal">To Honjin, it's existence, such as sneak to anyone without putting on airs as well. We would have Steal easy to be familiar, such as in the care of my life, the enemy was issued a replacement conditions.

<p class="MsoNormal">If I am the next emperor if, unless if know the enemy is that that, I was dead.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">And is Hagami, of one day this unknown in this hand, but for 斃 Su the enemy became from the moment my nemesis, and make a life of withdrawal to answer the anger.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">If while this therapeutic agent decided to mind when slaughter also trying Kuchihateyo this body even if fake, I left the forest.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">It is a bitter experience, but I got the goal at the same time, and at the same time build a mighty empire, vowed to strengthen the self.
