    Title: Beast Spear

    "Oh Shield Hero! Please calm your anger!" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)

    The leaders of Siltvelt all lowered their heads.
    What a wonderful sight, a scene where everyone was bowing to Father-in-Law.

    "Aah, but Motoyasu-kun is the one to ask to root out a simple assassination plot, right?" (Naofumi)
    "You can count on me!" (Motoyasu)

    I stepped forward.

    "I, Motoyasu, will do whatever Father-in-Law says" (Motoyasu)
    "Then, outside of the castle... Yes, there. Cast magic on that mountain at the border with Melromark, and no casualties alright?" (Naofumi)
    "Understood" (Motoyasu)

    Outside the throne room window, I confirmed a mountain in the distance.
    I'm not actually sure if there are people there.
    Well, it'll be a good warning.

    "Liberation Firestorm X!" (Motoyasu) [1]

    I concentrated and compressed the magic I formed, and directed it away.
    The ball assumed a streamlined form, and in front of the castle... jumped over the walls and snaked through the sky like a colossal dragon of fire.
    I adjusted the attack speed a bit, just enough for it to escape... The dragon of fire wound its way to the mountain and then consumed it in an inferno.
    The ground visibly turned into flowing magma.

    "If you feel like it, I can find out if I can destroy that mountain" (Motoyasu)
    "Fine. But... next time" (Naofumi)
    "Hii!" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)

    Father directed his steely gaze back to the Siltvelt bigwig, who bent over backward.
    At the same time, the supplicants groveled as if worshipping Father-in-Law's authority.

    "It is certainly true that those with power must trouble themselves with troublesome matters. But I will not stand to be attacked or killed. And by the way, Motoyasu-kun is this strong, but also think of it in reverse" (Naofumi)
    "What do you mean?" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "Although he is that strong, Motoyasu-kun seems to have lost. In the waves that wrack the world in the future" (Naofumi)
    "W-what...!?" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)

    I understand Father-in-Law's purpose.
    Show off your power, not to rule with fear, but to plant the terror of a strong enemy that cannot be reached even with that power.
    Father-in-Law will then answer your sighed prayers.

    "If you try to take the Shield Hero's life, I will protect myself. If anyone singles us out for a fight separate from the waves, then they should be prepared for our full fighting force. Right? Motoyasu-kun" (Naofumi)
    "Understood. I, Motoyasu, will erase from existence any country that tries to take Father-in-Law's life" (Motoyasu)

    Normally Father-in-Law would stop me there, but this time, he continued, smiling.

    "Remember, the Shield Hero cannot defeat his opponents with his own power. So my policy is pacifism. So get out your complaints, if you want to fight, take it out on me... After all, you wouldn't need the Shield Hero right? If you need some pretense to fight... just go for it" (Naofumi)

    I sucked in a breath.
    Everyone weighed the gravity behind Father-in-Law's remarks.

    "So... If you want to propose marriage with me, or your standing in the country, that kind of stuff... What do you think I'll be doing after the waves are over?" (Naofumi)
    "Ha, HAHA-!" (Motoyasu)

    Thus, the Siltvelt assassin who raised his hand against Father-in-Law was ostensibly dealt with.

    "Well, it was ceremonious, but now everyone understands it's meaningless to try to assassinate us" (Naofumi)
    "Y-yes!" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "Next this country's Seven Star Hero wants to meet with me?" (Naofumi)
    "I have heard this. There is some possibility that the Seven Star Hero may use his power to target the Shield Hero's life" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "I doesn't matter what his attitude is... the first thing to do is to talk to the Seven Star Hero. What kind of person is he?" (Naofumi)
    "Lately, he has sequestered himself in the mountains to polish his body and rarely comes out for official business" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "So he's military-minded. I assure you we won't be changing that" (Naofumi)
    "We appreciate the Shield Hero's mercy" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)

    With Father-in-Law's blessing, Siltvelt's bigwigs left.
    Well, I'm not sure what they were thinking deep down, but I'm sure they won't do anything rash before Father-in-Law.
    Things like poison are easily sensed by heroes, and they should know that even surprise attacks are ineffective against Father-in-Law.
    The possibility of being a fake usurping Godhood... they would have objected about that before understanding the truth in that presentation.

    "Fuu..." (Naofumi)

    Father-in-Law hung onto the throne as if exhausted.

    "Ah... I did it..." (Naofumi)

    The door swung open and there stood Eclair and the old genmu.

    "I was listening, Iwatani-dono, you gave them an earful" (Eclair)
    "Ah, sorry about that Eclair-san. I snapped when they tried to poison Sakura-chan and friends (Naofumi)
    "If I were in your place, I would also be angry. You have a right to be angry. Don't worry about it. We would have gotten angry for you anyways (Eclair)
    "Shield Hero-sama, just by speaking out against war you have quieted the extremists... That is good enough of a result. The radicals will quiet down now. With that, it's just international diplomacy (Old Turtle Demi-Human)
    "Yeah. I never had world conquest in mind. Or something... I'm not going to say it right, but I want to see the world... I want to learn about this world. Ever since I was summoned to this world, traveling with Motoyasu-kun, Eclair-san and Sakura-chan and friends has been like a dream (Naofumi)

    And, after seeing Eclair and me, he pet Sakura-chan.
    That was like a dream!
    I, Motoyasu, will cooperate as much as possible.

    "Well, it's a bit sudden, but we can make adjustments here or there (Eclair)
    "Sorry about that (Naofumi) [2]
    "What of it... Because the crime the people of our country has committed, it's fine for us to help the Shield Hero's wave preparations (Old Turtle Demi-Human)
    "Thank you... I'll reflect on how I overdid it. I'm sorry" (Naofumi) [2]

    The old genmu waved his hand to show he didn't mind, and continued talking with Father-in-Law.
    I, Motoyasu, dozed off while standing and took a nap.



    "So, the Seven Star Hero will be arriving soon?" (Naofumi)

    A Siltvelt heavyweight returned to the throne room and laid out today's schedule.
    Right then, the Seven Star Hero arrived outside and petitioned for an audience with the Shield Hero.

    "What kind of person is Siltvelt's Seven Star Hero?" (Naofumi)
    "He is a competent man from our country (Siltvelt Demi-Human)

    Speaking of Seven Star Heroes... Have I met one before?
    I don't remember.
    But I do remember there was something bad.

    "A little while ago I heard he was a military man, right?" (Naofumi)
    "Yes" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "What is his race? Is he an other-worlder like us? There is a possibility for the Seven Star Heroes to be other-worlders, right?" (Naofumi)
    "No, our Siltvelt Seven Star Hero is from our world and was appointed and anointed by the weapon (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "Is that so. If he was from Japan like us we would have a lot to talk about (Naofumi)

    Father-in-Law looked at me.
    If he were from Japan, we would of all had a bonding session.

    "He is a wolfman... of the wolf demi-human race. He is not of the four leading races but is a fearless fighter with a long military record. We hope his military prowess will meet the Shield Hero and companions' expectations (Siltvelt Demi-human)
    "A military man, huh... I look forward to meeting him (Naofumi)

    In the middle of our talk, a soldier entered the throne room.

    "Announcing the Claw Hero-" (Siltvelt Demi-human)

    The throne room's doors opened with a clang, and the Claw Hero stepped in.
    He was a wolfman covered in blue fur... and muscles.
    His pace was supple, but he was very muscular.
    He was covered in scars, which made him look more masculine...
    He wore his scars like medals.
    His upper body was bare, and his lower body wore pants.
    He moved well.

    "Claw Hero... You are in the presence of the Shield Hero. Untransform" (Varnal)

    After being warned by the shusaku emissary, the Claw Hero bowed deeply and assumed his demi-human form.
    His age... what is it?
    His sharp eyes accustomed to battle jumped out... He wore his hair all-black.

    His face was not badly chiseled.
    He was in his late 20's or early 30's?
    Less youth, more refinement come out at this age... and I know some pigs prefer this age.

    His footsteps sounded as he trotted before the throne.
    I stared without blinking at the Claw Hero.
    The Seven Star Heroes... My memory is misty, and I can't remember well, but my instincts are muttering for me to be careful.

    That, and also, I realized my spear was shaking.
    It made a loud shrill noise.
    I wonder what it could be?

    Is what I thought as I checked my status, and saw it was coming from my Weapon Book.
    I opened it and looked at it, and saw the source was a displayed weapon.

    The weapon's name was Beast Spear.

    I think it was... Aah, a weapon I found in the Filolial Sanctuary.
    This spear has the ability to automatically find and attack enemies.
    It also has special attacks against some monsters... and various special effects against ghosts.

    But, why was it activating here?
    Still ... this might be a good chance to try out the Beast Spear.

    "Oh?" (Motoyasu)

    The moment my spear changed to the Beast Spear, it flew directly at the Claw Hero without my permission.

    "Spear Hero! What are you doing!?" (Siltvelt Demi-Human)
    "Motoyasu-kun!?" (Naofumi)

    Suddenly and with no hesitation, the spear fired Erst Javelin.
