Chapter 304: The suspicious individuals were apprehended on eyewitness report, serving as a disaster prevention training.
Day 74 â Morning, The Capital, Souvenir Store Orphanage Branch
A case for public concern emerged in the morning. Yeah, suspicious person eyewitness reports? Or rather, I see nine of them right in front of me⊠I mean, their eyes are crazy!
ăăăUOOOOOOOOOOH! Little girls!ăăă
ăAll hands, capture them! Dead or Alive!ă
Thus, suspicious people (the geeks) were apprehended and isolated. The threat to the orphan girls have passed. Alright, letâs burn them.
ăăăOooh, Haruka! We are back! And yeah, we plundered tons of goods and money, but Oda-kun and others gave away everything to Beastfolk, so we got nothing?ăăă
The Idiots are left to roam free, but they while do pose some issue in educational sense, itâs fine, Iâm sure seeing them the orphans will try they hardest not to turn out like that. In a way, this idiots are the top-tier educational material for what not to do.
ăLong time no see~, Iâm actually surprised that you came back, Iâve already begun to think that you found your new calling in the life of banditry and piracy and going feral returned to the forest? Is this the fruits of Pres-samaâs training? Like, House(come back)? Sort of?ă
I thought that they mightâve made a jackpot, but they returned penniless, as usual idiots. Iâm sure they simply came back because they got hungry. Stray idiots?
ăăăHaruka-kun, why are we being detained and tied up immediately after coming back?ăăă
ăItâs just an arrest operation carried out on eyewitness reports of suspicious individuals? The crime was prevented in a timely manner, so the best course of action would be burning to death, like, in a disaster prevention educational way? Kind of?ă
And the criminals began complaining. Letting them step into an orphanage too great of a risk after all!
ăăăSuspicious individuals? Werenât we classmates?!ăăă
ăWe finished the mission and went back, we came here only because on the way we found the sign telling us to come here?ă
ăTo think we would get apprehended before even gettingăWelcome backăâŠă
ăăăWe just were surprised since there were so many childrenâŠâŠăăă
ăNonono, you didnât get ăWelcome backă because before sayingăWeâre backăyou began super overreacting to the children, okay? Itâs an orphanage, so of course there would be children, if there werenât any and it instead had only middle-aged men I wouldâve long since burned down the place! In the first place, with your first line beingăLittle girls!ăuttered in unison, you arenât just suspicious, you are real criminals! The very fact that you reacted only to the little girls makes you suspicious individuals among suspicious individuals worthy of apprehension, the guilty verdict with trial omitted upon the report and instant execution! You Suspicious Geeks! If you are going to react only to the little girls, the little tanuki is going to be sad and start stress eating, getting a round belly despite not having any bre⊠GYUWAAAAAA!! ă
I got bitten! The dangerous small animal seems to have snuck up on me before I noticed. Thatâs right, in the flock of orphans, there is an imposter mimicking⊠them not, she is just being her usual self, but the fact that she is lurking among them is scary! That aside, can some remove this small animal gnawing me on the head already? Yeah, she is biting in pretty hurt, so it hurts.
ăăăăAnd so, we are back.ăăăăăFor starters, Iâd like you to remove these ropes?ă
Then, a portion of girls is pressing them for the reason why the didnât return right away. Even though that much is obvious without asking?
Yeah, they finally got angry. Thatâs all.
And so, with the Geeks giving an incoherent retelling of events, additionally supplemented by the Idiotsâ nonsensical commentary, the explanation reached heights of confusing, but Translator Pres-san seems to have solved all of the mysteries. Yeah, itâs amazing that she can understand such nonsensical rubbish?
ăEerm, in other words, you annihilated the Confederationâs beastmen hunting force, and also managed to free beastmen captured by them, but then you chased after the ships carrying beastmen captured before that, and ended storming into the Confederationâs harbors, which led to naval combat, and you thought youâd run away since you freed beastmen already, but then Kakizaki-kun and others jumped on the enemy ships and begun to rampage, so you couldnât go back on your own, and since you went to board all other ships in the harbor along the way, freeing all of the beastmen slaves you saw and sinking all of the ships, it took you a while? Then you went back to the Beastmen Country to bring rescued beastmen to a safe place, gave them all of the goods you plundered, which delayed you even further? Is that it?ă
ăăăWhatâs what we said.ăăă
Perfect translation! As expected of Translation President-san. Her reasoning is so flawless that she mightâve already Plundered skillsăInterpretationăorăTranslationăsomewhere.
I mean, she managed to get that fromăAnimal earsăThe fluffăWe got to touch themăI wanted to touch it so much!ăHaruka, Iâm hungryăAfter all, the formation of the shipsăNo, the bunny earsăWhat are you talking about, the Tail-sama wasăHaruka, you got anything to eat?!ăAnd so we chased the animal ears, and thenăThose were some good animals ears!ăBut being too scared, their fluffinessăHaruka, I want rice!ăAnd so Kakizaki-kun and others went berserkăYeah, like the real leap ofăAnd if you ask us why we made a cannonăThatâs right, we couldnât hit anything with the projectile even when we threw them by hand?ăBut when we made the cannon to shoot, Slime-sanăYeah, Jiggle-Jiggle, it saidăand so we turned in the direction it was pointing, and it was the Frontier?ăAnd so it flew away⊠And we were wondering if something happened.ăBut Fluffiness is Justice!ăAnd so we went to return them, but they were still afraidăAnd the villages were burned downâŠâŠăHaruka, Iâm about to starve here!ăso we left everything thereă ! By the way, the nine of them were speaking all at once, and 10 times that. Well, it goes without saying that 90% of that was about animal ears and fluff.
For now, they are being noisy, so letâs have breakfast. Naturally, the Geeks are getting the farthest seats from the orphans.
ăâŠSorry, Haruka-kun, we didnât make it in time. The beastfolk warriors fought so desperately⊠Trying to save children⊠Fought and died. Sorry⊠We didnât make it in time.ă
ăăăYeahâŠâŠăăă
As I thought, I made another mistake. Thatâs why they went to get back the captured. But they couldnât make it in time anyway⊠In the end, I failed to protect everything again. And the Geeks also understand that they didnât actually rescue them, but came too late instead. Because the possibility was there. Even so, I overlooked it, thatâs why they didnât make it in time.
ăBy the way, who is that stunning beauty that chained us up?ă
ăAh, an oriental pretty girl hath descended?ă
ăHow is she able to tie us up and disable the barrier in the brief moment before its activation?!ă
ăPretty girls in another world are of higher level than 2D!ă
ăAah, you mean Dancing Girl? She is that, that stuff that often happens, that, you know, how should I put it, she is well, that? Well, I⊠Tamed her? (Tehepero)ă
ăăăAaah⊠he did it again!ăăăăăăJust explode already!ăăă
Looks like tehepero doesnât work for me the same way it does for Armored Pres-san? Well, she is sly, but also cute, so you end up forgiving her, you know? Yeah, being pretty has benefits?
After calling Dancing Girl and having them greet each other I then warn her not to get anywhere near them to avoid getting infection. Then I let them say hello to the orphans, and told them to immediately report if the Geeks were to approach them.
(Iâm saying just in case, but her actual name is not Dancing Girl-san, itâs Nefertiri-san.)
(((No, we were confident thatâs not her name!)))
(((She seems very strong⊠Did he save her as well?)))
(Yup, again. The orphans here, Nefertiri-san, everything and everyone.)
(((So it was that dangerous here. We are very sorry for being late!)))
(You did what was necessary, didnât you? Haruka-kun was happy with that, saying that you are finally fighting on your on volition.)
Pres-san is chatting with the Geeks? Well, it must be another sermon. Savor the taste of Pres-samaâs terrifying sermon! Iâm getting x20 that daily! Moreover, at least 15 times per day!!!
And we also learned the reason why Slime-san returned by flight. It really was a Slime Cannon. I gave the Geeks magic stone high-explosive projectiles and magic stone bombs for the sake of naval combat. But due to their clumsiness, they couldnât hit the target even when throwing by hand. Just how clumsy can you be!
So they made a gun barrel and tried to shoot from it, and apparently got 100% accuracy ratio even at long range. Just how skillful are they?!
Normally, it should be a complete reverse, getting a good angle of fire on a shaking ship is more difficult. How come their dexterity isnât getting improved despite getting enhanced by DeX stat? Looks like their Geekness Skill is overriding it.
And sensing the crisis, Slime-san made the Geeks turn the cannon to the Frontier, climbed inside, and launched itself, sending Continental Ballistic Cluster Slime-san. Thatâs why the Frontier was saved.
It sensed the danger from such a distance⊠Is it because of Taming?
ăSo, what about about animal ears and fluffiness?ă
ăăăăThey were afraid of humans, so we tried to keep our distance, so forget fluff-fluff, we didnât even get to talkâŠâŠăăăă
Thatâs not surprising. They met in the worst way possible. Even if they saved them, from the beastfolkâs point of view they are the same humans. It couldâve been different if they made in time. But since they didnât⊠As humans they are nothing more than an object of hatred and fear.
ăThen what about the people, or rather beastfolk, at the villages?ă
ăăăăThey were observing us from cover, so we extinguished fires at the villages, arbitrarily made graves, and after loudly declaringăWeâll leave this hereăleft, leaving the captured children and goods at the villages.ăăăă
Forget coming in touch, it seems they were unable to establish any communication at all. Well, itâs the Geeks and Idiots, so itâs a question if they wouldâve been able to communicate properly even under normal circumstances. The Confederationâs fleet was annihilated as the result, so the Beastmen Country should be safe for a while. Even more so if they had their battalion annihilated. They canât afford to carelessly meddle with the Beastmen Country anymore.
And the Geeks hesitant aura have dissipated. Theyâve finally made their resolve. Perhaps itâs not what they were hoping for, but they still became heroes in another world. Although the world they desired was probably not as bad as this⊠Thatâs why the finally resolved themselves.
ăăăăYes, we are back?ăăăă
ăHaruka, another servingăHey, this bucket is too smallăNot enough burgersăA bucket of rice balls!ă, what about karaage?ăAnother one!!ă
Itâs getting noisy again. Am I not allowed to bury them underground? The middle-aged men were supposedly rescued by now, so it should be an empty area. Ah⊠But Underground Dwellers probably would be very annoyed!
No, those are the Idiots, so they might on the contrary find a way to get along⊠Letâs leave them alone, I guess?
