[Ruric Town]
Taking into account on what the merchant daughter had said in front of the viscount, the very next day troops were dispatched in order to set an Outpost in case of sudden invasion of the monsters
After that Viscount Zack called for an audience with the Adventurers Guild and agreed upon on holding the fort and defending the base Against the sudden monster influx
Due to this very busy atmosphere the whole town got the gist of the news and it soon spread all over the town causing slight commotion
Some even decided on abandoning the town as early as possible, since it is their decision the viscount has no way in stopping the people in leaving
Inspite of that there are still a lot of people who decided to stay and fight, giving some relief to the Viscount
For three days this has happened and on the fourth day the viscount and the Adventurers Guild decided to form a scout party consisting of twenty members to be able to lend a wide scope of the situation on the enemy
And with that it leads to the on stage announcement just right at the square of the town
As some citizens decided to watch while others where inside their homes taking refuge, the Adventurers, knights, mercenaries were different as almost all of the has a tense atmosphere around them
It is to be expected after all this is a monster influx not some random bandit raid
On the stage the Viscount is giving a speech with the guild master at his back, in hopes of at least raising their morale
As he was giving his speech some of the listeners instead of being liven up they instead felt even more dread of the situation
"This is not going well" commented Lana who is right beside Shun
"Everyone would feel that way if your life is at stake" replied Shun who somehow felt tense in his surroundings
As he said this he suddenly remembered this feeling in the past when he's trying not to get caught by his parents in playing a game in a computer shop, the feeling of having a high tension made him feel nostalgic of that particular moment
"Hah!... . . Sweet memories" he muttered
"Hehehe! You still have the guts to say sweet memories even in this kind of situation" stated Lana when she heard Shun's mutter
"Huh? What? No! It's not like that! It just made me remember of the past nostalgia" reasoned Shun
"Right... . . Nostalgia... . . Sure why not... . ." Replied Lana as she squinted her eyes
At the same time both Alex and Misha came up behind him and called out to him
"Big brother Shun! It's hasn't been so long yet we're in a dreadful situation again" said Alex
"And this time on a different scale" added Misha
Hearing their follow up both Shun and Lana smiled wryly at them
"You guys are really like siblings" said Shun
"To do follow up just like that... . . I wish I had a little cute sister of my own" added Lana
In response to that Alex said
"What? What do you mean like siblings? We are biologically siblings!!!"
"Yeah! Blood related siblings... . . For some reason I feel like both big brother Shun and big sister Lana are teasing us" pouted Misha in an adorable way
Seeing her like that Lana couldn't help it but hugged her tightly as she go "kyu!"
As the four of them are doing this, Viscount Zack at the same time was about to end his speech
"If you please! For the sake of this town! Please help us on defending this town... . . We couldn't do it without you" as he said this he bowed in front of the public which made it a little awkward
As he did this the merchants daughter couldn't help to see the Viscount lowering himself any longer
"Please! I may not be a resident here but I assure you I will do the best that I can do to ease your problems... . . As a fellow human... . . I don't want to see this town get destroyed... . . I may not be able to sympathize with you but at least let me help in the name of my family... . . No! In the name of me myself Leah Sakonji and my ancestors the founder of our current line of family Aizawa Sakonji! And the Sakonji Firm" said Leah the daughter of a rich merchant
Hearing the name Sakonji which is clearly Japanese even Shun himself was taken aback by the sudden revelation of a earlier otherworlder that created the huge trading firm
"An otherworlder I see... . . Looks like master is not the only person who got transported here" said Yuumi as she suddenly crept out beside Shun in a unexpected time
"What!?! When did you? Never mind" stated Shun unsurprised as he gave up on asking Yuumi on when she got there
Seeing Yuumi's sudden appearance the three people Lana, Misha, and Alex greeted her before flocking around her
"Hehehehe! I feel like an MVP" said Yuumi proudly
"Is it my spring already? Ara Ara!" She added
Hearing her going " Ara Ara" even Shun has some mixed feelings
"Don't... . . Don't do that! Is quite weird if a cat says that" reminded Shun
Of course Yuumi ignored Shun's notion and kept basking in her own glory, and after a while Yuumi asks Shun
"So what will you do?"
After glancing at the depressing atmosphere an idea suddenly popped up in his head as he smiled wickedly and said
"Let me show you... . . I can do this much as long there is no copyright claim"
When he said that he suddenly went up on stage which surprised not only Yuumi and the co., It even surprised the adventurers, knights, mercenaries, Guild master, Viscount Zack, Millia and Leah herself
As he took stage and puffed out his chest in order to show braveness he suddenly spoke out
Of course since everyone has known already about Shun so all of them have already acknowledged then due to his past performance, all of them knows Shun truly except Leah who is new in town
"Let me say this... . . I Shun Kurosaki! Will stand and fight for the sake of this town, most of you here has already acknowledged me but some of you still haven't... . . I'm not here to boast that I will fight just to intimidate you guys. I'm here because I want to protect what is important to me. I made connections, friends, and acquaintance here and I'm not ready to let it go... . . And so for that I decided to fight"
After glancing at the crowd who is fixated at him he continued
"Let me ask of you this... . . In the far future when your children ask of you (Dad/Mom why did Ruric Town disappear? Where did all of its inhabitants go? What happened?). In case this was asked and your yourself didn't fought to protect this town, do you have the guts to tell your child in a proudly manner that you became coward in the end and decided to escape for your own benefit? Would you admit that you let everyone die in vain? Would you be proud of it?... . . I'm pretty sure your answer will be no"
As he said this everyone in the vicinity seemed bitter as they thought of this possibility
"Instead if you fought to protect this town and survived wouldn't your child be proud of you? A child that is proud of its parents... . . Now that is somewhat refreshing! For your children's children, your descendants... . . Today is the day where you will carve in history about your achievements! For our future and your children's future you should stand up and fight! For the people! By the people! Of the people!"
As if something was ignited within them as they listened to Shun's speech, all of them roared in high morale as they praised Shun and finally decided to fight
Raising their morale and fighting spirit even the Viscount was surprised
"Incredible! With only that small speech he managed to spark the flame inside them!" He muttered
Of course the guild and Millia was also surprised including the co.
"Whoa! Shun way to go" shouted Lana
"Nice one big brother Shun" praised Alex
"You looked cool there" shouted Misha
After a while the crowd cheered for shun loudly that it vibrated all over the town
"Gamer! Gamer! Gamer! Gamer!"
Witnessing this even Leah herself was left astonished by Shun's dependent speech and slowly looked up to him
After that event on the very same day for the scouting team, Shun was picked as the leader for the scouting team due to his amazing leadership or so they thought
"Why did it get to this? I just want to stand behind the wall!" Complained Shun
In response to this Yuumi sneered at him
"Karma's a bitch"
Of course as a guide Leah was also in front of the Outpost where the scout team is currently located
"I'll be In your care" she said gently
In reply to this Shun only lightly waved his hand
"Sure!... . . It's fine... . ." He said dejectedly
At the same time for support for himself he summoned a champion that is good is this kind of situation
"Summon Rengar!"
