Day 342
Most of our members have gone back to their workplace, some,
such as I and Kanami-chan remain at the Parabellum HQ to continue work on the aftermath of the war.
I am reviewing the battle results of those members who participated in the war, to be able to distribute rewards accordingly.
There was a lot of work to be done after the war, but it was much simpler with the use of parallel thinking, clones, and members who can handle office work such as Kanami-chan and Red Head.
I am proud that I could make a generally balanced decision, although handling all the 【Sacred Treasure】 obtained from the war is a little troublesome. Frustration is all that comes to mind.
Do I leave it in my item storage gathering dust? Eating them all at once is also another option. Should I distribute them out to the deserving members?
Distributing the 【Sacred Treasure】 will raise our war potential, and even though our members are not the original owners, they still might be able to draw out its sealed powers if certain conditions are met.
I wouldn't know without trying first, but if I do decide on eating the 【Sacred Treasure】, I have no doubt they would be delicious.
Though there are some disadvantages, the pros greatly outweigh the cons.
The possibility of losing the weapon in battle is not something I would want, but if it had been lost the enemy would not be able to pick it up due to it being lent out. (ED's note1)
Basically, I decided to lend them out, but I am still debating on who to give which 【Sacred Treasure】.
Obviously, those that risked life and limb will get priority of ownership.
Well, I am still going to keep more than half of the 【Sacred Treasure】 obtained in the war.
I will discuss this with members who already own 【Sacred Treasure】 of their own, such as Minokichi-kun, as to whether or not they want them, so they can decide who to lend them out to someone within their own corp.
Thinking about it that way, it seems that almost all the 【Eight Demon Generals】 decided to keep them for now.
However there was an exception, that being Aifu-chan, who was immersed in talks about her hobbies during the entire battle. They indeed established a friendship, therefore naturally, we can't say the Hero was brought down by her.
When it comes to the other higher ranking members, Avenger and Netsuki-kun (Blaze/Fire Lord-kun), Redhead and Akitainu; and even Auro and Toro (a Troll from the Slave Army of the Empire) have ownership rights.
Avenger defeated Insect Hero, who was a sworn enemy of fate. It seems his 【Sacred Treasure】 is unnecessary. I feel nauseous just having it. I can now understand the weight that Avenger carries.
Since the enemy destroyed his village and murdered his lover, he probably hasn't been able to quite organize his various feelings about what happened yet.
Netsuki-kun wanted to have Wolf hero's sword, as a proof of slaughtering the one who once made him a slave. Since he asked for it, I allowed it.
It's also a common point since he's a swordsman, so I'm expecting him to use it meaningfully.
Even though Ring Hero put up a fight with Redhead, his cloths soon became soaked with blood and, at last, he finally gave himself up as she sliced his neck, finally achieving her way to victory. She asked for having it as well, so I approved it.
Since she has been eating my blood and body on a regular basis, even though her body dimensions haven't changed a lot since when we first met, she is becoming much stronger than before. (ED note 2)
There isn't a place in my whole body with no scratches, and I've been barely evading a fatal injury until now. Debating over it seems totally unreasonable though, as she won't listen. (ED note 2)
Well, since I'm also putting this into consideration, I'm expecting that, with the newly attained strength of the 【Sacred Treasure】, she will utterly suppress her future opponents.
Akitainu, who managed to almost single-handedly defeat Mask Hero, cutting of his neck at the cost of an arm. Therefore, I also allowed him to possess it.
He stated while bowing his head:『With this, I will devote myself even further and prove my Lord’s strength more than ever before.』
This straightforward feelings of him towards me really creeps me out, not that I'm in a bad mood though.
His injured arm, resembling a mashed piece of meat, was treated by Seiji-kun to perfection, though he shouldn’t be at full strength.
With rehabilitation and practice, it will grow stronger than before, which eases my mind.
During the battle, Auro was firing her magic gun everywhere, and managed to get a lucky shot and killed the Bird Hero, so she wanted her weapon, something I naturally permitted it.
When testing out the abilities, it seems you can control the surrounding birds like your own limbs using the flute weapon, and temporarily view through their eyes.
This is a benefit to Auro to have an observational ability, especially since her attack style is to shoot from long distances.
A last, the heavy melee fighter Toro, who in the middle of the battle, in a similar way to Auro, managed to get a lucky thrust on Ox Hero, delivering his finishing blow. He wanted to own it as well as the others, so I allowed it.
Toro happens to be a Chief of a 100 subordinates, in the heavily armed unit «Anger», led by Minokichi-kun. A proud man who boasts a giant strength peculiar of a "Giant Troll".
His style was very similar to Minokichi-kun, by holding a shield in one hand and a large weapon in the other. If I were to give him an ax type 【Sacred Treasure】, there would be no problems on his end.
This is what is expected in the future.
Well, as I finished distributing, most of the members decided to accept the gifts, but that was obvious from the start.
They are powerful magical items and a war trophies of sorts, gained from defeating a strong opponent. You would also want to have it because it might be an upgrade to your previous equipment.
Honestly, it wasn’t too difficult as to decide who gets what, because I just went by their contribution to the war. Thus, other miscellaneous work has ended without incidents.
Well, who else is appropriate? (ED note 3)

| BluBear | Note2: So both Mi AND Redhead are literally sometimes biting off parts of his body now, huh. Well, having an Harem gotta have some bad consequences, right? Still, I wish I was him.. >.< |
| Someone else | Note3: I’m guessing Rou is still deciding on some of the rewards to distribute |

既に団員達は各自の仕事場に帰って行ったが、俺やカナ美ちゃんなどの一部は今日もまだ【アンブラッセム・パラべラム号】に留まり、戦後処理に勤しんだ。
参加した団員達の戦果を精査し、それに応じて褒美を分配する。
分体を使った並列処理だけでなく、カナ美ちゃんや赤髪ショートなど事務処理もできるメンバーに手伝ってもらいながらだったので、さほど困る事ではない。
概ね全体的にバランスのとれた決定は出来たと自負しているが、集めた【神器】の扱いは少し困る。
ただアイテムボックスに入れて死蔵するには勿体ないし、一度に喰うのも勿体ない。運用法としては、団員に貸し出す、というのが適切だろうか。
そうすれば戦力の底上げにもなるし、本来の持ち主ではないので完全に【神器】の能力は解放されないとしても、もしかしたら封印されている幾つかは解除できる可能性がある。
試してみないと分からないが、もし仮にそうだった時には、喰う時にはより美味い【神器】を堪能できるという訳だ。
メリットは多々あれど、デメリットは多くない。
あえて欠点を上げるとすれば奪われる可能性がある事や、または貸し出しなので取り上げた時に戦力の低下が起こるくらいだろう。
と言う事で基本的には貸し出す予定だが、誰にどの【神器】を貸し出すのか、というのはやはり迷う。
とりあえず、実際に戦い、見事討ち取った者に所有の優先権はあるだろう。
まあ、その場合は俺が半数以上の【神器】を所有する事になるのだが。
ミノ吉くんなど所有権があるメンバーには話を通し、もし本人達が必要ない、というのならしばらく保管しておいて、別の団員に貸し出せばいいか。
そう思って話してみると、【八陣ノ鬼将】である八鬼のほぼ全員は一応持っておく事にしたようだ。
ただ、この場合は趣味の話に没頭していたアイ腐ちゃんは例外である。友好を深めてはいたが、倒してはいないのだから当然だろう。
そして八鬼以外となると、復讐者と熱鬼くん、赤髪ショートと秋田犬、オーロとトロ重に所有権がある。
復讐者は宿命の怨敵である蟲英を倒したが、その【神器】は不要だそうだ。持っているだけで吐き気がするというのだから、復讐者の思いの重さが窺える。
恋人の仇は討ったとて、まだ色々と気持ちの整理が出来ていないのだろう。
熱鬼くんは自分を奴隷にした狼英を討ち取った証として、所有する事を望んだので許可した。
丁度使う得物が剣と言う事で共通点もあり、有意義に使ってくれるだろう。
円勇と切り結び、血塗れになりながらも最後には首に喰らいついて勝利をもぎ取った赤髪ショートもまた、所有を望んだので許可した。
俺の血肉も定期的に食べているので出会った当初とは次元が違う強さを得ているとはいえ、相手も相応の強さがあった。
全身に傷が無い所は無く、ギリギリで致命傷を回避していたようだが、全く無茶をするなと少し説教をする。
まあ、反省しているので、今回の【神器】の力で今後は気をつけて敵を討伐してもらいたいものである。
面勇をほぼ単独で押さえ、その首を片腕を犠牲にして斬り飛ばした秋田犬もまた、所有する事を望んだので許可した。
すると『これまでよりもより一層、殿の力となるべく精進致します』などと言い、頭を深く下げる。
真っすぐな感情を向けられてむず痒くなるが、悪い気分ではない。
戦闘終了後、叩き潰された肉塊のような片腕はセイ冶くんによって完璧に治療されているようだが、とりあえず問題ないか軽く手合わせをした。
経験を積んだ事で、以前よりも若干強くなっているようで、安心である。
乱戦の中、運良く撃った魔砲の魔弾が止めとなり、鳥英を薙ぎ払ったオーロもまた、当然のように所有する事を望んだので許可した。
試しに使ってみると、周囲に居る鳥類を手足のように使役する事や、鳥が見ている光景を一時的に自分も見られるなど、色々能力があるらしい。
軽く聞いただけでも魔砲を遠距離から撃ち込む際の観測要員として鳥類が使えるのではないだろうか、と思うだけに、オーロが持つのは悪くないだろう。
そして最後であり、オーロと同じく乱戦の中、運良く牛英に止めを刺す事になったトロ重も、他と同じく所有する事を望んだので許可した。
トロ重はミノ吉くんが率いる重武装部隊≪アンガー≫の百人長であり、“
ミノ吉くんのように盾を構え、大型武器で戦うスタイルだったので、得物が斧型の【神器】に変更されても、特に問題は無いだろう。
今後に期待である。
さて、終わってみれば殆どが所持する事にしたが、これは当然だろう。
強力なマジックアイテムであり、また強敵を倒した戦利品だ。持っていたいと思うだろうし、使っている武具よりも上等な品なのだから。
概ね予想通りだったのでさほど混乱する事もなく、他はまた戦果に応じて決める事にし、雑務は恙無く終わりを迎えた。
