Life in Another World With Narration

40 – Once again, the battle to subdue monsters

Mileia was oblivious.

If this is true, it’s my fault for not expecting this in advance and telling her what she said.

It’s good to ask for advice, but I never thought I’d ask it out loud in front of a man who was staring at me like he was going to kill me.

“Milleia! “Who on earth is this person, and who is joining us at such an important time?”

In the end, the man couldn’t stand it anymore and exploded.

He was a knight, not an adventurer.

If you were an adventurer, you wouldn’t have been able to say anything to Mileia.

Anyway, the fact that I was in a difficult situation was the same.

“This is why I brought him here.”

Mileia calmly spoke to the man with a blank expression.

No, please stop… ….

I’ll give you my opinion secretly later or not, so don’t put me first in front of people.

When you look at the current atmosphere of the punitive force, do you have any vague feelings?

This entire punitive force disapproves of me.

I thought it would be a more troublesome situation if I left it like this, so I intervened before Milleia could say anything more.

“Mr. Mileia, wait a minute. For now, just listen to the story and later… ….”

“You come forward without knowing the topic. “Do you really think something has happened to you since Mileya is protecting you?”

But before he could finish speaking, sharp words came from the man in armor.

“No, it’s not like that… ….”

“I am talking to Mileya! “I’m not even curious about your opinion.”

The man never gave me time to speak.

I feel bad again when you say things like that.

I am not here because I want to be here.

“Stop.”

At that time, Mileia spoke briefly.

For some reason, the surrounding air felt a little cooler.

Are you really angry?

“Don’t talk to him like that.”

“Yes? But I just can’t understand…….”

“Damon, aren’t you really misunderstanding something?”

“No, I just…” ….”

“Are you the subjugation leader?”

“That’s… ….”

“Yunoa is the person I personally chose.”

Mileia’s cold eyes stared at the armored man called Damon.

Is this the Mileia that adventurers have only heard about and fear?

She is just talking with an expressionless expression, but I feel a chill that even makes me shiver.

Damon, who had been arguing fiercely just now, lost his momentum in an instant.

Other subjugation members who were watching this scene from afar also held their breath.

It seemed like she could once again understand why no adventurer dared to speak directly to her.

Anyway, I wanted to end this situation somehow.

She brought me here because she was not confident in the decisions she was making.

In that case, shouldn’t I just be by her side, listen carefully to the judgments she makes, and just give her a little bit of advice in her words?

However, I wanted to give that advice quietly and out of sight if possible.

Even now, I have already received enough harsh looks and been scolded behind my back.

I wanted to avoid doing anything that would attract more attention here.

But the next moment, my wish collapsed in the worst possible way.

Mileia spoke in front of everyone.

“Listen carefully. “I will follow Yunoa’s instructions unconditionally.”

“…… ?!”

What are you talking about?

“I trust this man that much. Do you understand?”

The eyes of Damon, the knight leader of the punitive force, grew so big that they almost seemed to pop out.

Sighs of surprise and astonishment came out from all over the place among the other punitive forces who were watching this situation.

Ah, I want to become a mole.

I want to become a mole, dig in the ground and hide.

“What, what is your relationship with that guy, Mileia?”

“How did such an insignificant guy lure Mileyia?”

“Ever since we left, that guy has been given special treatment. “Didn’t you find it to be a weakness?”

Gossip and gossip.

After Milleia’s shocking declaration, the atmosphere of the punitive force became even more chaotic.

That’s right. Even if it were me, I would curse if some dog-like bastard suddenly took part in a strategy meeting with the subjugation leader on his back.

I guess it’s not my fault that the eyes on me have become even harsher.

There is nothing we can do since the water has already been spilled.

How should I carry my face in the guild from now on?

No adventurer would openly express dissatisfaction with Milleia, but everyone would be cursing inside.

“…… As I said before, you have to divide the punitive force into two units and attack them first. “There are a lot of them, but right now we only see weak goblins and the like, so we need to make a preemptive attack before stronger monsters gather.”

Daimon, the leader of the knights, spoke to Mileia again with a dumb expression on his face.

After hearing the suggestion, Mileia looks at me.

“What do you think, Yunoa?”

“… ….”

If I didn’t say something, it didn’t seem like this inconvenient operational plan would end.

Damon was glaring at me with flames almost spewing out of his eyes, and even the muscles of his face were twitching.

What should I say in a situation where people are looking at me like it’s written on their face, ‘If you talk bullsh*t, I’ll kill you.’

“What… “It’ll be okay.”

Well, since the group of monsters is divided into two, we will have to divide them into two units to attack them.

Honestly, I didn’t know anything, so I had nothing to say.

What do you need to know before making a suggestion?

“Is that so? “Then I will do it.”

Milleia nodded her head.

Daimon spoke to Mileia again.

“And the troops are divided into adventurers and non-adventurers. I am only responsible for the knights and soldiers I brought with me. “Our unit is a bit smaller in number, but I think it would be convenient to divide it like this.”

The tone of voice was polite, but looking at the way the troops were divided, it was virtually as if they were going to act separately from the adventurers.

Even though if we divide like that, the number of Damon’s troops will be reduced by nearly ten, it must be a sign of dissatisfaction to divide the troops like that.

“What do you think? Yunoa.”

But Milleia asked my opinion again.

What kind of skit is this?

Daimon proposes a strategy, Millia asks me as if she were in charge of homework inspection, and I answer without knowing anything.

The punitive force’s strategy meeting followed the same pattern, as if the three of them were having a boring joke.

As the situation was like this, the strategy of the punitive force ended up being accepted as suggested by the knight leader Damon.

I couldn’t even judge whether his strategy was appropriate or not.

I didn’t know anything at the moment, and trying to tell someone else would mean trusting the background and installing it, so I had no choice but to do as he asked.

『The punitive force decided to divide into two units and preemptively attack the group of monsters gathered in the wilderness beyond the Horn Canyon.

If the opponent was a group of ordinary monsters, there would be no problem.

But this time, the group of monsters that the subjugation team was going to face were not simple monsters.』

When the punitive force’s strategy meeting, led by Damon, was almost finished, a narration began to be heard.

『It was known that monsters usually could not move strategically.

But the monsters here were under the command of the demons.』

“Now, hurry up and get ready to leave!”

Daimon was dividing the punitive force as decided at the strategy meeting.

All knights and soldiers belonging to the punitive force move in the direction pointed by Damon.

Meanwhile, the narration continued to be heard.

『The monster unit led by the demon was luring the punitive force with a bait unit.

The monster unit now visible in the sight of the punitive force was only a part of the main force.

The truly strong monsters of the main unit were hiding in places that could not be seen.』

The narration containing unusual content continues.

『The punitive force was mistaken.

They were not in a position to attack.

In terms of objective power, the monsters had the upper hand.

The punitive force was in a position to block the attacks of such monsters.』

Then isn’t it a big deal?

If the information given in the narration is true, we should have fought a defensive battle here rather than dividing our troops.

The Horn Gorge where we are currently encamped happened to be very advantageous terrain for defense.

『Daimon was about to lead the people he brought with him and make a reckless assault.

He tried to prove that he was better than the adventurers by subduing the monsters faster than the adventurer troops.

But they never dreamed that this would be their last fight.』

Finally, the unit led by Damon began to move slowly.

After seeing their dark future through the narration, I couldn’t let things go on like this.

“Mr. Mileia, please stop that unit right now. “We need to reexamine our operations.”

I quickly spoke to Mileia.

She stopped Damon’s unit right away at my words without asking or questioning anything.

Damon asked with an annoyed face.

“What is it?”

“Yunoa says they are reviewing the operation.”

Mileia spoke so honestly that I felt embarrassed.

Then Damon frowned and glared at me as if he were going to kill me and shouted.

“Are you saying I’m going to listen to that bastard again? Who on earth is the subjugation leader? “Is it worth giving such special treatment?”

Yes, it seemed like this.

But if we send Damon’s troops like this and annihilate them, we’ll be in trouble too.

If the narration says, the power loss of the punitive force must be minimized.

For the subjugation operation to succeed, someone must change the current policy.

“Ha… ….”

It would have been a shame to have it buried quietly anyway.

If I was in a situation where I was criticized for doing this and being criticized for doing that, it was annoying to just stay like this.

In their eyes, I was a mysterious silver dog bone who carried Mileyia on her back and received all kinds of special treatment.

I was just sitting still, but then suddenly, by force, I was included in the punitive force and came all the way here.

I was also sensitive, so I tried to stay as quiet as possible.

I didn’t abuse my power with Milleia in the first place, so why should I be criticized like this?

There is a saying:

If someone hates you for no reason, give them a real reason.

“Mr. Mileia. “You said earlier that you would follow my instructions unconditionally, right?”

“Yes.”

“From now on, I will personally give orders to the punitive force. Please punish anyone who disobeys without exception.”

I asked Mileia for a favor.

It was an unprecedented request that shocked everyone.

She answered without hesitating even for a second.

“I understand.”

Special treatment?

From now on, I will show you what real special treatment is.
