World Customize Creator Chapter 94

On the same day, Krielov visited the upper rooms of the palace where the different corps members had gathered.

“Ar-eh? This is rare, the captain is showing his face in here.”

“Oh, the princess has given me some spare time.”

The fault finding, exclusive guard and education staff, Kreilov, who was usually in the private quarters of Violet, finally had some relaxation time during midday as Darkness G.o.d Captain Yuusuke and Sun, who was his exclusive attendant, was by her side.

“Princess-sama has changed quite a lot since Yuusuke-dono came.”

“Yea...it seems so.”

Previously, Violet was wilful, always saying she was bored, always looking for something interesting to do, and abusing the people around her, but nowadays she was cautious about her actions. Because of that, recently the Fire G.o.d Captain was able to loosen up and relax.

As Krielov sat on the table, the men began to gather around him bringing sake and started idly chatting.

“Talking about Mister Yuusuke, during the freedom festival the Darkness G.o.d Corps seems to be becoming more active due to hostility.”

“There was a rumor from the commoner district that he was the target of an a.s.sa.s.sination. I heard this from my house servants.”

“....you guys, don’t say thoughtless things.”

“I’m sorry…. but, this was what I really heard.”

Krielov’s eyes twitched when he heard the word “a.s.sa.s.sination”, and he urged his men to be careful of their speech. They knew that they had said something wrong and drew back their shoulders, however, there had been some unrest among the public of Sanc Adiet.

“The legends of the disaster of the Evil G.o.d seems to be the motive of those Nossentes people trying to plot their revenge.”

The unrest within the city might be caused by the insufficient and gradual lack of goods. In order to not to get discriminated against, these former citizens of Nossentes began sprouting these rumors.

“The people that came from Nossentes are skeptical about the Darkness G.o.d Corps.”

“Ah, I think it was about the fall of Nossentes, when Gazzetta’s invasion force suddenly appeared in the middle of Nossentes while the Darkness G.o.d Crops were there.”

“That said, think about what the leaders of the divine council have done around their country, …”

“You guys, leave this talk as it is. As soldiers of the palace, don’t discuss about all these rumors so openingly.”

After getting scolded by their captain, they fully sealed their mouths this time. However, due to these rumors, Krielov began considering the chance that the anti-Darkness G.o.d Faction might use a direct means of a.s.sa.s.sination.

If an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt is being aimed at the captain or any members of the Darkness G.o.d Corps, the first suspects on the list would be Marquis Vordat’s faction who they themselves would know. Thus, Krielov thinks that the marquis would not take such a silly action and put themselves at risk.

Then again, they aren’t really in a position to take down a faction such as Marquis Vordat’s.

“Is their aim to cause an outburst from the former Nossentes citizens…?”

Although the Darkness G.o.d Captain Yuusuke was raised to the status of a Hero with many merits of war, Krielov knows that the person in question neither has any great fighting power nor strategic knowledge.

Known as the Evil G.o.d of Kaltico, the youth from another world. Although he has the special ability to enhance the strength of equipment, allowing those who use his equipment to be endowed with above average abilities and divine arts resistance, he himself doesn’t have any fighting skills.

‘If the anti-Darkness G.o.d faction were to grasp hold of this knowledge.’(Krielov thoughts)

Even a normal citizen would be able to a.s.sa.s.sinate him by surprise. Thinking about it Kreilov shook his head.

Being the Evil G.o.d, apart from having a special divine art, he was just a normal person, if this were to be known, there would be a large push for the Darkness G.o.d Corps to sortie for the magical beast subjugation.

‘However, the one we need to be wary is….’(Krielov thoughts)

“Captain?”

“Something came up. Everyone, just try not to be over zealous.”

After downing the wine served by his men, Krielov left the palace room.

As Krielov arrived back at Violet’s private room, Yuusuke and Sun, the three of them were playing with something that was on a spread out map on the bed. There was a Deernook fortress laid out on a tiny version of Kaltcio, and on the map were 3 miniatures figurines.

“Ng? O, you have came back Krielov. Did something happened?”

“Yes, I have something that I wish to speak to Princess-sama about….what are you guys doing?”

“A game called Suvoroku. It’s a traditional game from Yuusuke’s country.”

“It’s Sugoroku.”(Google this スゴロク and you will know what it is)

After Violet coerced Krielov, who had come back, into partic.i.p.ating in the game. He suddenly remembered about the rumors that his subordinate told him about. He remembered after landing in a trap that sent him back to the starting point of the game, as Violet broke out into laughter.

Using the game context he was able to handle the heavy topic of a.s.sa.s.sination with a more flexible thinking.

“a.s.sa-sinate…. Yuusuke?”

“If it’s about me, I won’t stay quiet.”

「あ、暗殺……ユウスケさんをですか？」

“However this seems to be an erratic story, does it involve another party?”

“It seems that the Marquis’ party is involved from the rumor, but it may also be a hoax.”

No matter what, it’s better to be cautious and vigilant, thus Krielov had prepared 3 different plans as a precaution.

Yuusuke who was spinning the roulette had a worried expression, he turned towards Sun and saw her smiling lightly as if telling him it’s alright. He then began thinking about the different type of protective gear he could create while moving his piece forward. ~~and back to the starting point it went.

“Ahahahaha, Yuusuke you too huh!”

“Un, I wonder if this is too many a traps just before the goal….”

As the angry red spread across the afternoon skies. Yuusuke, who had just finished his lunch at the cafeteria for the palace soldiers was climbing down towards the exit of the city for his daily routine, after he had fitted his additional equipment in his own room.

By the way, it seems that Krielov had somehow made a comeback and won the Sugoroku, as Violet had stepped on the trap twice and returned to the starting point. Due to that crus.h.i.+ng defeat, Violet was grief-stricken and was staying in bed out of spite.

“Mister Yuusuke.”

“Oh”

Today there is a schedule in place for testing the prototype motorized vehicle at the outskirt of the commoner district. This in-development prototype vehicle, that was previously used in the parade, was left in a storehouse.

With the requirement of having a 2 person ride in mind, he began testing the capacity of the vehicle together with Sun. ~~ using this as a reason to go on a date.

“Next time, we should get s.h.i.+a-chan and Rasa-san to both come along.”

“True….those two also need a break.”

A few days later, Volnar’s Fire Month, 11th day~~

“Ah, Captain.”

“Oh, Isotta?”

Yuusuke was walking through a vacant lot along the street of the marketplace, and he somehow b.u.mped into Isotta who was carrying some bags with both of her arms. It seems that she had just finished her grocery shopping and was heading home. Thus, Yuusuke helped her like he had previously done, and took half of the bags while strolling beside her towards her house.

“The bags are as big as usual.”

“Yes, I also help the neighbours….. buy theirs.”

“Ah I see, if it’s Isotta with the freedom of movement to and fro from the marketplace. It’s no wonder everyone is reliant on you.”

“Ehh, it really isn’t like that.”

Isotta was smiling happily. If she were to wear her uniform which was enhanced, it would have made the huge load easier to carry, however to wear her Darkness G.o.d Corp uniform on a off day seemed a bit much, thus she was in her civilian clothing.

“If I don’t help, they might get cheated.”

“Oh, that’s one predicament...”

They continued on the route chatting and laughing, as they began approaching the artless street, Isotta suddenly tilted her head.

“Ng? What’s up?”

“Ah, eh….. Those people over there, what are they doing….?”

Tracing Isotta’s line of sight, pa.s.sing the defensive trench on the rear side of the wall next to the small bridge, there was a blue haired commoner guy.

As though waiting for someone, he was leaning against the wall with his arms folded while watching the artless street. Although it’s common to see water arts citizens around the commoner district as they might be pa.s.sing by from the middle cla.s.s district, to see one at the entrance of the artless street was very rare.

As Yuusuke and Isotta approached the small bridge, a yellow haired guy, dressed in a Divine Art Trooper uniform came out from the artless street. He immediately bowed towards Yuusuke and Isotta who were at the front of the bridge as a greeting, as he waved towards the blue hair guy who was leaning on the wall to give way. This earth art trooper might be here to strengthen the buildings of the artless street.

‘I wonder if the blue haired companion is a colleague?’(Yuusuke thoughts)

Thinking that they might be the same as them who were getting along with one on duty and another off duty. Just as Yuusuke was about to relax~~

“Don’t move!”

“!....”

「！……きゃっ」

The earth art trooper suddenly grabbed Isotta while taking out a knife and pressing it against her, using her as a hostage against Yuusuke. With the sudden turn of events, Yuusuke became on guard. Isotta’s face froze by the surprise as she grasped in fear.

“Cap, captain! Behind”

“tsu!”

He turned around upon hearing Isotta’s warning scream. Standing there was the blue hair guy surrounded with cold mist, while the ice spears was floating mid air ready to strike at any moment. Yuusuke instantly opened his customize screen and switched to the protection wall.

‘~~Lack of materials? s.h.i.+t I’m on a bridge!’(Yuusuke’s inner thoughts)

The artless street isn’t like the main city street, which is stone-paved. Thus, in order for him to create a protective wall, he would require some form of material. Although the range for getting the customizing materials is not very far, if there is enough materials, a wall could be made.

However, currently Yuusuke is in the middle of a small wooden bridge above a defensive trench. The customized abilities current range had nothing but only the small bridge to use as materials. And this bridge was not enough to make a wall.

The blue hair guy shot the ice spears out. There were a total of 3 cold, sharp ice spears that came flying towards him. If he were to have jumped into the defensive trench to evade a direct attack, he might only take fall damage from that deep trench, however~~

“Captain! Please evade!”

‘If I dodge this it will hit Isotta!’(Yuusuke’s thoughts)

The earth art trooper was using Isotta as a s.h.i.+eld, while holding his dagger against her neck. Thus if Yuusuke were to dodge, the ice spear will pierce through Isotta’s slender body.

“.....there isn’t much of a choice, this is~~~~ gah……!”

“!”

Yuusuke body was blown backwards as he took a direct impact from the ice spear. Isotta, who was standing on the opposite side of the bridge being dragged into this as a hostage, had collapsed on the floor.

The earth trooper, who was fully equipped to prevent the most amount of damage, stood up and nodded at the blue hair guy who wanted to check on the Darkness G.o.d Captain. Without finis.h.i.+ng off Isotta, who was trapped under her bags, they quickly walked away from the area.

“u….ca...captain…”

Isotta crawled out from the bags that were scattered around after that shock and she began looking for any sign of Yuusuke. And then~~

“hi(sniffling sound)..... Cap..tain…..no…..”

Before Isotta, whose eyes were wide open, lied the body of the Darkness G.o.d Captain with a cold aura on the floor, having an ice spear pierce protruding straight out of the middle of his chest.

“Captain~~~~!”

“Sup!”

Yuusuke slowly got up and turned towards her. Isotta had a jump scare as she fell onto her b.u.t.t.

“Eh? Ah? Huh..erm? Eh?”

“Ah~ouch…..although I stopped it, it still hurts.”

Yuusuke swept away the ice spear that was on his chest, leaving only tiny ice shards sticking onto his uniform. This special uniform which was the supplement equipment was upgraded with divine arts and physical resistances, thus a close range ice spear would not be able to pierce through and would be repelled instead.

The tip of ice spear that was believed to have pierce through was being crushed while remaining stuck to the uniform.

“Cap-captain~~is alright~~”

“O, yosh, yosh, I worried you.”

Stroking the hair of Isotta who was crying, Yuusuke managed to stand up after much strain, began gathering the scattered bags. While doing so, he asked Isotta to transmit a message. Firstly, tell everyone about those a.s.sa.s.sin just now and make sure that they were caught.

“Do you remember the face of those two person?”

“Ye-yes….*hick*, I remember…..*gus*.”

Yuusuke continued to soothed her with a ‘yosh yosh’ while wearing a wry smile.

In the meantime, the members of the Darkness G.o.d Corps came rus.h.i.+ng after they received the rescue message, they began scattering into the city after hearing about what was going on. In order to inform Violet about what happened, Yuusuke headed back to the palace.

“I thought I was dead.”

“Captain, don’t say it like it was scripted.”

Yuusuke shrugged his shoulder showing that he was ’sorry’ towards Aisha who was anxiously healing him.
