I’ve been reborn as a villainous lord, so I’m going to defeat the mastermind with a group of characters who are good at just one skill

With Yuna in tow, Kurt and his group patrolled the surrounding area.

　The reason for charging an entrance fee to the territory was so that they could walk along the territory's roads in peace.

　Of course, without a large army, Antoner's territory was a good place for bandits to shelter.

　If there were nameless "Bandit A" or "Bandit B," Irma's explosion alone would be enough, and if there were named characters hiding, that would be good for Kurt.

　In the game, of course, they are opponents that can only be defeated, but in this world, the real world, they might be able to join him.

　In the current Antoner territory, which is completely short-staffed, such characters are what Kurt wanted to have at his disposal.

　Of course, characters who willingly go out of their way to kill their opponents are not to be trusted, so characters who are framed by aristocrats, burdened with debts, and have no choice but to become thieves are the ones we should be targeting.

　That is where he should aim for.

　Of course, such a character is not likely to pinpoint the right one, but it's a dream come true.

'I wonder if there is a bandit?"

　Irma was happily playing with a test glass in her pocket.

　It seems to be a special alchemical potion that changes a person's appearance.

　Of course, the result would be an explosion, Kurt chuckled.

Ho, are you sure you can handle it ?"

　Yuna clutched the wooden stick tightly.

I don't think it will be a problem. We're too heavily overstrength."

'But, but ......

'Don't worry. I'll heal you if anything goes wrong."

　Melia was encouraging the anxious Yuna.

　This is indeed a Saint in this area.

　Unlike the exploding saint, she is used to dealing with people.

'I see. Then it's going to be all right. Oh, there's a monster over there. I'm going to go defeat it."

　What did Yuna think? She suddenly ran toward the monster.

　She held up a wooden stick and just ran straight at it.

There are no feints, nor are they particularly fast movements.

　　　　　　　　Even Kurt could have easily avoided it, and it was a blow that was easy on both people and monsters.

　The monster that received it was a slime.

　The soft body of this spherical monster mitigates physical attacks.

　However, if attacked by a monster with a weak attribute, it could be defeated with a single blow, and since its weak point was visible, it was treated as a small fry among small fry.

"Haiy!"

　A full-throated blow against such an opponent.

　Of course, physical attacks would have a reduced effect, no matter which of the slime's weaknesses it had.

　The slime's body was slightly twisted, but it quickly repelled the attack, and Yuna was left on her butt.

"ta ta ta ta." ......

　The slime approached Yuna.

"I'll help you now."

　--With a slime of that color, its weak point is ...... wind.

Kurt put magic power in his hand and tried to release wind magic.

　　　　　　　　But then somebody interrupts him.

"Let the experiment begin!"

　At the same time as those words, she throws a drug that changes human appearance.

"Yuna is still in there!"

　Kurt rushed over, grabbed Yuna, and ran to a place where the explosion would not reach them.

　Kurt was so proud of himself that he thought it was the fastest he had ever run.

　Unexpectedly, however, the slime swallowed the medicine as it was.

　Once it shook its body, it seemed to lose consciousness.

"What?　It doesn't explode?"

"Did you think I'd let it explode so many times?"

"Yeah, I did."

I'm done being the exploding saint who makes everything explode. You can call me Master from now on."

　Irma is puffing out her chest, which does not seem to be happy.

　Kurt, who was indeed curious, took the other bottle of the drug that changes a person's appearance that she was holding and threw it at the grassy knoll.

　Then .......

boom!

"Geeaaaah!"

　Kurt looks at Irma, pointing at the grass, with the result so predictable.

Oh, that?　That's strange. It worked fine earlier, but it's strange, isn't it?　Maybe it's a bug?"

　Irma's smile was drawn back.

"I knew you were still the exploding saint!"

"if this happens, I'm going to thoroughly investigate the cause!　There must be a clue in that slime!"

　Irma approached the unconscious slime with slow movements.

　The slime woke up at that moment and hid behind Kurt, perhaps sensing a sign of danger.

"Wait. My experimental tool-"

　Irma tries to chase after the slime, so Kurt grabs her by the neck and stops her movement.

'This one doesn't like it either, does it?　I can't stand to see it used as an experimental tool, even if it is indeed a monster".

What? The secret of the non-explosion is..."

"Isn't it like an alchemist to find out the secret without slime?"

　Irma's eyes twinkled at Kurt's words.

'That sounds like an alchemist!　That's right. Creating something out of nothing is what it's all about. Okay, I'm going to do my best!"

　She seemed to have managed to distract Irma.

Did anyone get blown away by the explosion at ...... earlier?"

　Yuna pointed to the sky and said.

"No, it was just imagination, wasn't it?"

'I don't think so.　I thought I heard something that sounded like a scream. ......"

　Yuna was not satisfied with the result.
