"Uwaah, it's a K, Kobold. H, help me!"

 

"Don't panic! This Kobold is a genus of Maou-sama. Don't worry!"

 

"Wafuu, I'll help you now, so do your best!"

 

"The Kobold, it spoke ..."

 

 

 When the Kobold Corps was doing the excavation work alone, the residents who were rescued were surprised and panicked, so I summoned Magdalos' subordinates to the city and formed a combination to proceed with the rescue.

 

 I calmed down Nero, who was reluctant to go to cold places, and asked him to work with Zeta-tachi to clear the snow using shields of darkness.

 

 

 I couldn't see the smoke rising from the bases where the explosions occurred, probably because the fires went out because they were buried in the snow.

 

 There should probably be many injured people under the snow, but right now the priority was to rescue the town's residents.

 

 The main street, which was lined with shops and bars, was completely filled, and many of the shops had collapsed.

 

 

"It hurts, my leg, my leg ..."

 

"Prioritize those with severe bleeding and head injuries!"

 

 

 At first, I was also concentrating on clearing the snow using the shield of darkness, but as the rescue progressed, the number of injured people increased, and it became to the point where I was pressed for treatment.

 

 

[ Fred, Basten, lead the rescue from the shadows. ]

 

[ Of course, Kent-sama. ]

 

[ Rescue ... Leave it to me ... ]

 

 

 I took out a tent that had been left in the shadow space and had the knights of Resenburg assemble it to set up a relief station.

 

 The knights' eyes widened when they saw the goods that Reinhardt carried out one after another, including blankets, firewood, food, and liquor.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, get some rest. ]

 

"But, there are still injured people ..."

 

[ The excavation has started in the housing complex. The number of injured people will continue to rise. If you don't take proper rest, you won't last. ]

 

 

 Certainly, just as Reinhardt said, the repetition of summoning magic and succession of healing magic seemed to deplete my magical power.

 

 If I didn't take a rest and take medicine that helped restore my magical power, I would collapse.

 

 

"It can't be helped, Booster ..."

 

[ Kent-sama, not yet. Summon Yuika-dono rather than using a Booster. ]

 

"Ahh, right!"

 

 

 I was trying to do everything alone again.

 

 I had a future wife who I could rely on at times like this.

 

 I told the knights who were helping me with treatment that I was going to call for reinforcements and returned to Volzard.

 

 

"Yuika, lend me a hand!"

 

"Kyaa! Kento!"

 

 

 Yuika was in the middle of changing clothes in the room I jumped into without checking.

 

 

"Uwah, sorry, but I'm in a hurry, a large avalanche has injured many people. I can't treat them all by myself."

 

"An avalanche, there's no snow in Volzard ..."

 

"It's a mountain town in Resenburg. Anyway, please!"

 

"Alright, I'll get ready right away, so Kento wait outside ... okay!"

 

"Ouchh ... I'm sorry. It's cold, so please keep warm."

 

 

 Yuika in her underwear grabbed my cheek and kicked me out of the room.

 

 

"Yo, Kokubu, are you quarreling with Yuika?"

 

"Ahh, Watanuki-san, no, no, that's not it ... It's not, right?"

 

"Rather, is it snowing?"

 

"Aahh, this snow is from the Resenburg mountains."

 

 

 Watanuki-san's expression clouded over when she heard Resenburg.

 

 

"In a city in a mountainous region, there are people who are suffering from the tyranny of the Feudal Lord. Right now, we're in the middle of that liberation operation, but a large-scale avalanche occurred and many people were injured ..."

 

"Haa ... It would be nice just to take the money from those guys, but Kokubu really is a good-natured person."

 

"Maa, I guess so, but I wonder if it's my nature ..."

 

"It's cold with the snow, isn't it? Don't catch a cold!"

 

"Yup, thank you."

 

 

 Watanuki-san patted me on the shoulder and went back to her room.

 

 

"Kento, I kept you waiting."

 

"Then, I'll send you there ..."

 

"Ahh, wait! When you send me there, pick up Manon too."

 

"Alright. Then, I'll send you ... Repatriate!"

 

 

 With Reinhardt acting as a landmark, Yuika was safely repatriated to the Calvine Territory.

 

 After confirming that Yuika had arrived safely, I picked up Manon.

 

 

"Manon, lend me a hand, please!"

 

"Kent, what's wrong?"

 

 

 I told her what was going on in the Calvine Territory and that I had already sent Yuika there.

 

 

"Alright, I'll get ready right away."

 

"Then, I'll inform Noela-san."

 

 

 I left Manon's room, and when I explained the situation to her mother, Noela-san, she agreed.

 

 After finishing her preparations, Manon was sent to the Calvine Territory with the repatriation spell, and I immediately followed behind with shadow movement.

 

 

"Yuika, I made you wait."

 

"Aahh, Manon, please sort out the injured and give first aid."

 

"Leave it to me. Kent, I want bandages and clean cloths."

 

"Okay, I'll prepare now."

 

 

 I moved from the Calvine Territory to the Royal Castle of Aldaros.

 

 

"Camilla, a large-scale avalanche has occurred and there are injured people. Get bandages and clean cloths ready, hurry!"

 

"Very well. Call the healers! Prepare bandages and clean cloths! Reinforcements, are you ready!"

 

 

 Naturally, it was assumed that there would be injuries during the suppression operation, so Resenburg's healers immediately came to make preparations.

 

 

"Maou-sama, could you send me along with these people?"

 

"Alright."

 

 

 I didn't want to call back the Kobold Corps that were working on the rescue, so I took out the dark attribute golems from the shadow space and used them as a landmark to summon them from the Calvine Territory.

 

 

"Summon!"

 

 

 When I summoned 100 reinforcements, 2 healers, materials, and Camilla, I was completely drained of my magical power, and I sat down feeling dizzy.

 

 

"Maou-sama!"

 

"It's okay, I just used too much magical power ... More than that, command the troops."

 

"Ha!, the reinforcements help with the rescue work, and the healers ..."

 

"In that tent ..."

 

 

 After taking the third magic recovery pill today, I felt a little better, but it was definitely less effective.

 

 

"Yuika, I had healers from Resenburg come too ..."

 

"Thank you ... Rather, Kento, your face is pale. Besides, Camilla ..."

 

 

 Seeing Camilla come in after me, Yuika raised her eyebrows.

 

 

"Aahh, I think there are a lot of things you want to say, but right now priority is on rescue."

 

"Alright. But, there's nothing Camilla can do here. If you're going to take command, shouldn't you be at the scene of the rescue?"

 

"Certainly, it's as the Saint says. Maou-sama, I will go to the scene."

 

"Alright."

 

 

 I thought of chasing after Camilla as she left the tent, but decided against it.

 

 

"Kento, you should take a rest. Haven't you been using magic the whole time?"

 

"Yup, I'm at my limit, so I'm going to rest for a while."

 

"It looks like more people are getting injured, so take a break now."

 

"Yup, I'll leave it to you for a while."

 

 

 I dived into the shadow space, stuffed the remaining dried meat and dried fruits into my stomach, and wrapped myself in a blanket.

 

 

"Reinhardt, wake me up in about an hour."

 

[ Roger that, I will keep an eye on the situation outside, so don't worry. ]

 

"Yup, please ..."

 

 

 I felt uncomfortable taking a break when everyone was working hard at the site, but I knew from past experience that if I forced myself to do so, I would just collapse.

 

 Let's rest now so that I can show my strength after waking up.

 

 When I closed my eyes, I fell asleep in no time.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, the number of injured people is increasing. Can you get up? ]

 

"Nnh, yu~p ... alright, I'll get up."

 

 

 Perhaps because I was conscious of self-healing until I fell asleep, my fatigue had faded considerably.

 

 Peeking out of the shadows into the temporary first-aid tent, Yuika was busily continuing treatment.

 

 When I checked the time on my smartphone, it was just over an hour.

 

 

 Looking outside the tent, there were people lying on the road waiting for treatment.

 

 Since most of the buildings in the city had collapsed, it couldn't be helped, but it looked like they were going to freeze.

 

 I moved to a place where the injured had not yet been laid and called Zeta-tachi.

 

 

"Zeta, cast hardening magic."

 

"As you wish, Nushi-dono."

 

 

 Using earth attribute magic, I formed a roof over the road.

 

 As an image, it looked like a Japanese arcade, with a height of less than 3 meters and a length of about 50 meters.

 

 A passage was left on one side of the wall, and screens were created every ten meters to keep the wind from blowing through.

 

 Between the screens, I made a chimney and a simple fireplace.

 

 

"Reinhardt, light the fireplace."

 

[ An easy task for me. ]

 

 

 Bringing in firewood from the shadow space, Reinhardt ignited it with fire attribute magic, and it became warmer than the windswept road.

 

 

"Zeta, can you make something similar to this?"

 

"It's okay, Nushi-dono."

 

"Then, make five more while being careful not to get people involved."

 

"Please leave it to me."

 

 

 Not only the residents but also the knights were surprised by the sudden construction.

 

 Camilla, who was supposed to be giving instructions to the knights, rushed over.

 

 

"Maou-sama, this is ..."

 

"We don't have enough tents, and it's too cold with just a tent, isn't it. I'll move the first-aid station, so help me."

 

"As you wish."

 

 

 Camilla raised her voice at the surprised residents who had stopped moving.

 

 

"Maou-sama has built a temporary dormitory. We will move the first-aid station, so if you can move, please lend a hand! Prioritize children, the elderly, and women in the remaining space!"

 

 

 I moved to the tent used as a first-aid station and called out to Yuika and Manon.

 

 

"Yuika, Manon, I made a windbreak building over there, so let's move."

 

"Alright. I'm going to treat just this person, so please take care of the others."

 

"Kent, the people here are seriously injured, so please ask people to carry them."

 

"Alright. Excuse me, if you can move, please lend me a hand!"

 

 

 While I was waiting for the seriously injured people to be carried away, I also proceeded with first aid using healing magic.

 

 Two partitions of the arcade-shaped building were secured as a clinic, and treatment proceeded.

 

 

[ Kent-sama, there are many injured people in the housing complex. ]

 

"What shoudl I do ... Okay, let's carry them over here."

 

[ But, it's still snowing ... ]

 

"Yup, it's okay. I'll think of a way."

 

 

 When I headed to the place where the housing complex used to be, I saw people working hard to dig out from under the snow.

 

 In addition to the Kobold Corps and the knights of Resenburg, among the people whose lives were saved from the brink of death, those who could move with light injuries participated in the rescue.

 

 However, since most of the buildings had collapsed, injured people were lying on the snow here as well.

 

 

 I called Zeta-tachi who had completed the construction of the arcade buildings and asked them to harden the earth made from the slope of the mountain.

 

 The finished product was an enlarged version of a rowing boat that floated in a pond in a park.

 

 With two places in the front and one place in the back, ropes were hung.

 

 

[ This is ... A sleigh pulled by Zeta-tachi? ]

 

"That's right. Zeta, Eta, pull from the front. Theta, steer from behind."

 

"Leave it to me, Nushi-dono."

 

 

 One of the residents who was only slightly injured was asked to serve as a boatman and have them carry the boat from the housing complex to the city.

 

 Once the transportation began, the number of injured people who would be brought to the aid stations would continue to increase.

 

 Let's start supporting the treatment.

 

 When I returned to the aid station, they had already finished moving and started treatment, but Yuika had a tired expression.

 

 If I thought about it, she should have been giving treatment at the Volzard clinic today, so it was only natural that she was tired.

 

 

"Yuika, I'll take your place. Take a break."

 

"Yup, thank you."

 

"Ahh, but there's no place to rest. Wait a minute."

 

 

 I built a small room of about 4.5 tatami mats on the other side of the wall of the relief station.

 

 Because it was behind the fireplace, the air in the room warmed up even without a fire.

 

 I put a rug that had been stored in the shadow space on the floor.

 

 

"Hert, clear the snow and come back."

 

"Wafuu, Goshujin-sama, did you call me?"

 

"Yup, aahh, you're still soaked, wait a minute ..."

 

 

 Using water attribute magic, I collected the moisture that had soaked into Hert's fur and threw it out of the room.

 

 

"After this ..."

 

"Wau, Goshujin-sama, this is warm and feels good ..."

 

 

 I combined wind and fire attributes like a hair dryer, and Hert's fur was made fluffy.

 

 

"Okay, I'm going to call Yuika, so I'll ask you for escort and soothing."

 

"Wafuu, leave it to me!"

 

 

 Yuika drank some medicine to help recover her magical power, ate some dried fruit, and then lay down with Hert in her arms.

 

 Now, while Yuika is resting, I'll do my best to treat people.

 

 

"Kent, I will tell you the order, so can you proceed as I say?"

 

"Yup, my best regards, Manon."

 

 

 When I started treatment at the aid station, I immediately understood why Yuika called Manon.

 

 The way she decided the order of treatment was very precise, and she seemed to be full of confidence.

 

 If someone with a serious injury was brought in, it would be necessary to change the order and give priority to treatment.

 

 In that case, the person who was put on hold might feel dissatisfied and complain, but there was no sign of a dispute as she accurately assessed their condition and confirmed her will.

 

 Since we first met, I've only ever seen her go 'Awa awa', so, to be honest, I was very surprised.(TN:Panicked/flustered, if you've seen anime you should know what this is like.)

 

 

[ Kent-sama, everyone is working hard, you have to keep an eye on their growth, otherwise they'll be disgusted with you. ]

 

[ Uuh ... That's right, I have to do it properly. ]

 

 

 While Manon managed the patients, I would only concentrate on treatment.

 

 People who needed treatment on a priority basis were those whose internal organs were believed to have been damaged by being crushed under furniture when their homes collapsed.

 

 If left untreated, there was a high possibility of death due to excessive bleeding or peritonitis.

 

 In addition, priority would be given to people with bruises or lacerations to the head.

 

 Anyway, I'll do my best to save as many lives as possible.

 

 

"Okay, I have treated the injury to your abdomen. I'm sorry about the leg injury, but can I do it later?"

 

"Amazing, it seems like a lie that it was so painful. Aahh, I don't care if my injured leg is later, give priority to the seriously injured."

 

"Manon, next person."

 

"Alright, please handle this person."

 

 

 While continuing with the treatment, we also started preparing the food service.

 

 

[ Reinhardt, please start preparations so that the rescued people can eat, take out the ingredients from Tunnel 7, and use the pots in the shadow space. ]

 

[ Roger that, I will communicate with Camilla-jou in writing, so don't worry. ]

 

[ Yup, my best regards. ]

 

 

 At the first-aid station, four of us, Yuika, me, and two healers from Resenburg, took turns resting and continuing the treatment.

 

 The number of seriously injured people peaked while rescue work was underway at the housing complex, and once that had settled down, the number dropped significantly.

 

 After the housing complex, rescue work was also carried out at the managers' bases, but it seemed that most of the people there died from the impact of the explosion and the weight of the snow.

 

 

[ When I scouted ... I didn't see any barrels of explosives ... ]

 

"They might have been planted in walls or pillars instead of in a room."

 

[ But, if there was a manager at the time ... They would have been blown away together ... ]

 

"Well then, either they were deceived by Havre, or maybe the managers were deceiving their subordinates ... Can you find out by interrogation?"

 

 

 Fred seemed unconvinced, including the fact that he was unable to find the explosives.

 

 By blowing up the managers' bases, the troublesome subordinates were wiped out, but at the same time, the knights who stepped in were almost wiped out.

 

 It could be said that the situation was rather convenient for the Calvine Territory to be managed under the direct control of the Royal Family, but the lives of 250 knights was too big of a price to pay.

 

 

[ The five managers will not escape the death penalty. ]

 

"Or rather, if they kill everyone, including their subordinates, there will be nothing they can do anymore, right?"

 

[ That's right. However, once the knights had stepped into the base, the game was decided. It was like a last harassment, so to speak. ]

 

"To be killed like that, it's unbearable ..."

 

 

 It was my turn to take a break, so I came to check on the status of the base, but all that was dug up was the armor, which had been distorted and broken into pieces.

 

 Anger and chagrin appeared on the faces of the knights who were digging.

 

 

"This is, it's over, isn't it?"

 

[ It is like that. After this, if Barshania's procession passes by without incident ... it is. ]

 

"Aahh, that's right. It's not irrelevant to Seraphima's procession, so I have to make sure it ends without incident."

 

[ Considering Kent-sama's achievements so far and the military strength, I don't think anyone will interfere. ]

 

"But, aren't there a lot of people who haven't actually seen us?"

 

[ That's right. Let's be careful not to let blood flow in vain. ]

 

 

 After offering a moment of silence to the knights' corpses lined up on the pure white snow, I returned to the first-aid station.
