Volume 3 Chapter 18 Dangerous Creatures At The Garrison In West
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”D… you don’t have to be so sad. I’ll share a little with you.”
”R-Really?”
”Yeah.”
”Are you really really sure?”
”Yeah, it’s fine.”
”Really really really! If you break your promise, I might get so mad that I could destroy the whole town! Are you okay with that?”
How much do you like Ines’s milk?
It would be a problem if the town gets destroyed over just milk.
”After the meal, I’ll give you fresh milk. Is that okay?”
”Kent is such a kind man. I might fall for you.”
Dee felt a little shocked by the words and touched her glasses.
It’s okay.
I was fine.
”Then, let’s go to the base.”
Saying that, we started walking to the base.
* * *
When we arrived at the base, we found Milly and joined the team.
When I asked Milly about the situation, she said it was a standstill.
For now, we are waiting as a skirmish team.
Next to me, Annabella and Feria were preparing Dee’s meal.
I called Ines, and the two of us went into the carriage to carefully squeeze milk for Dee.
I left Dee in the care of Feria and Ines, and took Milly with me to meet the commander of the garrison in the west.
As I entered the living room of the large mansion, a man who appeared to be a commander walked towards me.
The commander was Arbalest’s second in command.
”Oh, Lord Kent, thank you very much”
Come to think of it, I haven’t heard his name…
”Um…”
”I’m Fristoph. I didn’t tell you my name.”
Fristoph asked me to shake hands, so I shook his hand.
”Since Lady Miriallia has become my lord’s adopted daughter, Lord Kent is his son-in-law. I am a close attendant to the family of Baron Haydon of Sir Arbalest, so I will hand over command of the garrison to Lady Miriallia.”
”What? Fristoph was my father-in-law’s family member? I thought he was a military officer or a bureaucrat under his father-in-law.”
”Lord Kent. I am a distant relative of Sir Arbalest’s wife… In fact, my father was a member of the Godard Clan. Ten years ago, I was a soldier in the royal capital and escaped disaster. Later, when Sir Arbalest became Margrave, I became his attendant.”
Wow.
So, Fristoph is from the Godard Clan.
I was looking at a strong-faced man in his late thirties in front of me.
Then, I had a question that popped into my mind.
”By the way, is Lord Fristoph single?”
”Huh? Oh, yes. Because Sir Arbalest worked me hard, I missed the chance, so I’m single.”
”Oh, no, I just wanted to know.”
Fristoph tilted his head.
I was thinking about asking my father-in-law to give me Fristoph as a reward for my help this time.
After the war, we will need a lot of good helpers for land development.
I want to take good people to help lighten my load.
So, Fristoph, who runs the west base, is definitely someone I want.
I heard he is single and from the Godard Clan, so if my father-in-law refuses, I was thinking of using that old rule from Akebus to force a marriage.
I was even thinking about that to get him under my control.
”Well, I will be a team leader, so Lady Miriallia, please give me your orders.”
”Okay… then, I will give all my command power to Kent.”
”Understood. Lord Kent, please give your orders.”
”Then, please report on the current battle situation.”
”Yes, the garrison in the west now has 1,000 soldiers, the survivors of the garrison that was recently destroyed, plus 500 residents’ defense force, and 83 reinforcements from Lord Kent. Of these, 120 have been killed and 430 wounded so far, leaving 1,333 soldiers able to fight.”
”How many monsters are there?”
”We have killed about 1,200, but we have few magicians and healers, so we are having a hard time. There are still more than 5,000 monsters lurking on the western wall. We are currently only shooting from the wall.”
Five thousand… That’s less than in the east.
Although we have a thousand men, the remnants of the Kingdom’s army, whose fighting spirit is questionable, are unlikely to be of any use.
”Okay. We’ll hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures later, so gather all unit commanders who are not currently in battle.”
”Got it”
When Fristoph left, Nannie came in with Dee and Ines and Feria.
”Hey, Hey, Kent! You’ve done something really bad! What are you going to do!”
Nannie was really angry, almost dropping my glasses.
I didn’t understand why Nannie was so mad.
”Nannie, what’s wrong?”
Nannie put Dee right in front of me.
Dee had finished eating and looked happy while sleeping.
It’s amazing that Dee can sleep while standing.
”This girl was the one who fell down by the road. Kent, you saved her, right? She’s just a girl, right?”
”Lady Miriallia! Can you still say that after seeing this?”
Nannie turned around to show Dee’s back.
There were small black scales growing on her back.
Milly’s face turned pale when she saw it.
Then, she started shaking.
Milly grabbed me and asked in a panic.
”Kent! You didn’t turn this girl into a Carrier, did you? Please say you didn’t!”
”Huh? Oh. No, I didn’t. It seems she really liked Ines’s milk though.”
”Dee-Dee said she would become Feria and Ines’s pet!”
”But it was only if she could drink my milk every day… I thought I should ask Sir Kent for permission first.”
The two Maid Warriors in my house have turned a girl who collapsed on the street into a pet… It’s outrageous, girls shouldn’t play like that…
When Nannie heard the two of them say that they were serious about keeping Dee, she got even more angry.
”Kent! Please scold these two! After all, Lady Dee is a Dragonia of the Black Dragon tribe! And you say you want to keep her as a pet! If the Dragonewts living in the Black Dragon Dukedom hear of something like this, not only will this garrison disappear, but Abyss Vena will disappear without a trace!”
Dee seems to have been a ridiculous species.
I thought for sure she was Majin.
Even so, it’s an exaggeration to say that the town will be destroyed.
Milly also gives me advice just like Nannie.
”Kent… You must never make this girl your carrier… You can’t… If you do, you’ll turn into ashes”
Then Dee, who had been sleeping, woke up.
”It’s so noisy. I was happily sleeping after a full meal and the sweet treat from Ines…”
”I’m sorry. Dee, I guess you’re from the black dragon tribe, right?”
”Oh yes. I am the daughter of the black dragon king Fabulanova… I should have kept it secret from my mom and dad… Well, I can tell Kent and the others. By the way, my dad is True Demon Clayd. Because of that, I am [red].”
Ahh! It feels like there is a really bad secret here.
”A princess from the black dragon tribe and [red]…”
Nannie and Milly look very pale after hearing this.
Then, Nannie fainted.
”Ms. Nannie, are you okay?”
Feria runs to help the fainted Nannie.
”What’s wrong… Is it bad that I am a princess from the black dragon tribe?”
My Maid Warrior is feeding, training, and keeping the princess of the black dragon dukedom as a pet… I can’t make excuses!
”Kent… we’re going to be done for… It’s over… this whole area is going to be burnt to the ground.”
Even calm Milly seems confused about how big this problem is.
If Dee is really the princess of the black dragon dukedom, I should have acted differently.
”Kent… Am I a bother? I remember my dad said to stay away from people… If you let me have Ines, I’ll leave.”
Give her Ines…I can’t do that even if I die or get killed.
I will never give up my woman.
”Sir Kent…Dee-Dee”
Ines looks at both of us with a confused look on her face.
I would rather be annihilated by the Black Dragons than lose Ines to them.
I took off my glasses and looked at Dee.
”Kent! No!”
Milly tried to stop me, but it was too late.
”What’s wrong, Kent? Ugh. What’s wrong? Kent looks like a cool guy…”

I pressed the button of ruin.
At that moment, Fristoph came rushing into the living room.
”Lord Kent, the defeated soldiers have started to run away. I sent some troops from the resident defense team, but we don’t have enough soldiers. Monsters are also gathering in the weak west side, and if this keeps going, they will break through.”
”Darn it, running away at a time like this… Milly, we are going to the west side too. Dee, stay here and guard.”
”What? Is it a monster attack? If Kent is in trouble, I must repay him for the meal. I will take care of it.”
Dee ran out of the room.
”Dee! Don’t be reckless. This is not a game. Come back!”
”Kent, when I come back, I want Ines’ milk.”
”Wait for me, Dee-Dee!”
Dee said that and left the room.
Ines chased after her.
”Darn, Milly, gather everyone to the west side. Fristoph, take control of the resident defense team. I will head to the west side now.”
”Got it. I will gather everyone right away.”
”Lord Kent, some of the defeated soldiers still want to fight. Can we add them to the resident defense team?”
”Understood. But split up the defeated soldiers! I can’t have them escape in groups again.”
”Got it.”
Milly and Fristoph ran out of the room.
I asked Feria to take care of the fainted Nannie and headed to the west wall after Dee.
* * *
When I reached the western wall, I could not see any allies around.
When I found Ines, I looked in the direction she was pointing.
I looked and saw that Dee was surrounded by a lot of monsters.
There are also big boars, venom spiders, and bighorn sheep in the area.
Stronger monsters than those that had been coming towards us were gathering.
”Dee, run! You’ll get killed!”
I called out to Dee loudly, but she just laughed and waved.
Then, an excited big boar came charging forward.
The rock boar I fought was big, but the big boar was even bigger.
It’s so big it could be called an elephant.
That guy rushed towards Dee.
Bang! Bof!
Dee stopped the big boar’s charge with a strong punch to the face.
The big boar’s head swelled and then burst all over.
It seemed like a signal because all the monsters suddenly attacked Dee.
Dee dodged the monsters’ attacks and kicked or hit them, making them explode like fireworks.
A venomous spider behind Dee stabbed him with its poisonous needle.
The poison needle that looked stuck bent instead.
The monster book said the spider’s needle could pierce steel, but Dee’s body was so hard it bent the needle.
Seriously…Milly and Nannie were worried that if there was a fight with the black dragon tribe, the important people would come to Abyss Vena.
I realized again that the destruction button I pushed was really the button for doom.
I turned the girl who was crushing monsters in front of me into a Carrier.
I messed up… All I can do is win Dee’s heart and make sure there’s no fight with the black dragon tribe.
The one who helped me when I felt like I was going to fall apart was Ines.
”Sir Kent… I will take care of Dee perfectly!”
It seemed like Ines had decided to be a caretaker.
Then, with Milly and the others who rushed over, they drove away the monsters attacking Dee.
During that fight, Dee’s attacks were always one-hit kills.
With one hit, monsters always exploded.
There were no monsters left to take a second hit from Dee.
The members of the unit who rushed to the scene were all surprised.
After several hours of fighting, the battlefield was littered with boars and sheep that had become bodies.
”Kent, now I have returned the thanks for the meal. And now I have thought to ask for a new meal. For dinner I would like some grilled wild boar and mutton, with some nectar from Ines, of course.”
”Oh, yeah, that’s right. Thank you, that was helpful.”
”It’s for Ines and Kent. Don’t be so serious.”
I had to captivate the girl-type dangerous creature with a firm brown body, deep blue short hair, and lapis lazuli eyes, who was smiling in front of me.
If I don’t do this, my future will be closed forever.
Can Dee’s special body even break from the poison needle of the Venom Spider?
I found myself thinking about that.
I asked Fristoph to clean up the battlefield, and then I took Dee and Ines to sneak into the officer’s dorm.
At that moment, I felt Milly and Nannie looking at me with worried eyes because they knew Dee’s secret.
I will do anything that a man like Kent Blackdagger can do!
