031. Emergency Meeting
July 8, 2015 / Clown

Translator’s Corner (Cast: a Clown and a Psychiatrist)

Clown: Doctor, I feel like I’m forgetting things lately.

Psychiatrist: Is that because of stress or your profession?

Clown: How do you mean?

Psychiatrist: Considering all the times you got shot out of the cannon or got stepped on by an elephant, I’d say you’re under a considerable amount of stress. Though that isn’t my field of expertise.

Clown: But they said you specialize in stress related issues!

Psychiatrist: For that kind of stress please see your primary care… or a physicist. By the way, I’m still billing your insurance company for this visit.

Clown: But you haven’t told me anything yet!

Psychiatrist: Do you feel like you can overcome your fear of mimes?

Clown: Kyaaa!

Psychiatrist: If you would like to discuss those, please schedule another appointment. Today’s consultation is over, please remember the copay.

Clown: !!!

Psychiatrist: I love American healthcare!

Forest Disturbance Arc

Chapter 31 – Emergency Meeting

Now, after the moron had left, this is what we did.
Right about then, Souei had returned from his scouting mission.
Just in time.
Gathering everyone, I decided to hold a conference.
From the Hobgoblins: Rigurdo, Rigur, Rugurdo, Regurdo, Rogurdo, and Ririna.
Kaijin representing the dwarfs.
Benimaru, Hakurou, Shion, and Souei representing the Oni.
And, myself.
All together, 12 “people”. The current core members. Kaijin also speaking on behalf the Construction and Manufacturing departments.
Department of Production is supervised by Ririna.
Department of Governance has Rigurdo at the top, and three chiefs making up the judicial, legislative, and executive branches.
However, this particular department is not completely established yet…
But that’s a problem for the future.
Department of War by Benimaru and Hakurou.
Department of Intelligence by Souei.
Department of Defense by Rigur.

At present, we have only six departments active in our city.
Well, though I say “active”, they are so in name only; however, it’s probably a good idea to slowly develop them.
Currently, everyone is living with little worry about food.
The department of defense is also regulating hunting, so that sector should be fine.
If I think about it, Rigur is handling things well. He’s one of those unsung heroes, isn’t he.
Frankly, about the department of war, Benimaru knows nothing except numbers of soldiers when it comes to the art of war.
So it’s an appointment in name only. It was something that I had to do.
Ririna shows promise. After obtaining a potato-like plant, she succeeded in its cultivation.
With short harvest cycles, and high nutritional value, it will improve our food supply.
In the future, when we trade with the humans, we should obtain many different vegetable seeds.
The construction and manufacturing departments are completely left to Kaijin.
He normally specializes in smithing, but after Kurobee joined, he ended up in a managerial position.
Seems like Kaijin has been completely separated from his field of expertise. However, he had entrusted it all to Kurobee.
According to Kaijin, they are still busy with establishing the smithy, but once things calm down, he’ll devote himself fully to production. That’s how it is.
He probably wants to come back soon.
Shion is in charge of my care? I kind of want to rethink that post, but right now, no matter where we put her, it’ll be bad for my heart.
For now, let’s wait and see.
And, about Souei.
He’s strange.
I know I appointed him as a ninja… but he’s taking it too seriously.
He can make clones appear from any direction.
While their abilities drop, they have no movement restrictions. Furthermore, he can deploy six clones without any restrictions.
And even if I say their abilities decrease, that’s only about their vigor (HP) and magical energy (MP)–it becomes 1/10th of original. Their movement abilities and attack power are completely unchanged.
An ability superior to mine.
Actually, all the Oni are strange.
Souei, as I had just described.
Shuna had specialized in my Analysis Ability, and awakened to the unique skill [Analytic].
Our abilities are basically identical, with the exception that she doesn’t need to eat the target. She can analyze with eyesight alone.
Kurobee had awakened to the unique skill [Researcher]. This skill also bears great semblance to my own.
As someone who specializes in production, it is a very useful skill.
Hakurou has had his perception ability accelerated by a a thousand times. So I basically can’t see him losing in a battle.
Shion, as you’d expect, obtained [Herculean Strength EX] and [Physical Strength EX].
Moreover, she also awakened to a special skill [Battle Craze] that she should absolutely never use.
Last up, Benimaru. This bastard learned [Black Lightning] of all things. Seriously! Of all the dangerous skills I did not want circulating!
I think I’ll need to come up with some countermeasures.
Anyhow, they seem to have inherited my skills and completed their evolution.

Now then, let’s start the conference.

「First, let’s hear the report.」

Upon my order, Souei began conveying the state of affairs.
Everyone silently listened.
He sent out six clones to gather intel

1. Goblin Villages
2. State of the marshes
3. State of the Orc army

He seems to have sent two clones to each location.

First, the Goblin villages have decided to join the Lizardmen’s raid leader Gabil as his warriors.
Probably that lizard from some time ago.
To have decided to serve that moron, what weird tastes they have. Those that decided against joining him, have ran away in various direction.
There were also a few that ran in the direction of human countries, but they’ll probably end up as subjugation targets.
As long as goblins establish their communities in the forest, the humans would stay away, but if you invade their territory, they would surely bare their fangs.
And while I don’t know the humans’ strength, they will surely order a subjugation quickly.
When they do, the goblins could only continue living in hiding. Their future looks grim.
While on this topic, I also listened to the report about Gabil.
Somehow, the goblins he had gathered numbered 7,000 warriors.
A decent army.
As we had gathered, they once appealed to the orcs, but were rejected. At least they can use their head a bit.
However, they were also forced to take along with them all their food, so even if they survive against the orcs, there will surely be people dying afterwards.
But we won’t be doing anything about that.
That was the unanimous decision of their clan chiefs who decided that such a fate was better than being murdered by the orcs.
And besides, we are not an NPO.
We have only begun establishing this city, but abandoning it would not be fun.
If we allow the orcs to invade this far, the forest ecosystem would probably collapse>
Which is why we must stop them at the marshes.

Now about the marshes.
Here, the Lizardmen’s Head had begun assembling troops, and prepared an army of ten thousand.
Living off the lake’s fish, they have an abundance of food.
Furthermore, they are barricading themselves in their natural labyrinth in preparation of any attack.
But are the orcs an enemy that they should so fear?

So let’s hear about the orcs.
The orc army, numbering 200,000.

「Huh? 200,000?!!!」

I thoughtlessly let out my voice.
The orcs who attacked the ogres numbered only ten thousand…

「So the ones who attacked our village was but a single division?」
「Right. After investigating, that much became clear. Their army consists of 200,000 warriors! Coming from the south, they took a relatively wide route and are aiming for the marshes.」

Hmm. I don’t really know the geography yet.

「Souei, do you have a map or something?」
「What would a map be?」
「Eh?」
「「「・・・???」」」

What did he say?
For there to be so few people who know about maps…
Kaijin had known. He knew of them, but none in circulation.
Seems like this world is treating maps as a military secret.
Hakurou’s grandfather had drawn the map of the village’s surrounding on a block of wood.
Having no paper hurts.
Anyways, holding a wood block, we’ll carve the map of our city’s vicinity.
Using the map in my head, and Rigur’s knowledge, we have Hakurou record the information.
This way, using all our knowledge, we created a half-way decent map.
Before even getting to the main issue of the conference, we had wasted two hours on map creation.
And here we took a short break.
I don’t need it, but the goblins probably do.

Shuna brought in a tray of food.
Following her, a group of girls followed with more trays.
I changed into my child form.
Maybe rest is unnecessary, but meals are important. Since I have this human form, I might as well eat while tasting.
…, as long as it’s not made by Shion, that is.
Since getting used to human transformation, I managed to transform already wearing clothing. Seems like practice really does wonders.
A feast was laid before me.
And for some reason, Shuna had sat right by me. Just in case, I have to check…
The appearance is normal, but what about the inside? Clearly lacking spices, seems like a bunch of ingredients were stir-fried together…
Who cooked this? I felt a sharp glance from my side.
Gulp. Somehow, I’m getting very nervous.

「Let’s eat!」

Until I had said it, nobody moved.
Seems like if I don’t eat first, nobody will begin. I had been hoping that someone would finally eat, but seems like I need to steel myself.
It’s fine. Shion did not make this!
However, I kind of regret changing into a form that has a sense of taste.
With those thought, I reached for the food. But not with chopsticks, since we only had spoons.
Bringing some soup to my mouth, I take a sip… it was delicious.

「Delicious!!!」

The moment I said so, everyone moved.
But hey… you guys, how can you just watch your lord drink poison! Though it’s not poison per se…
