I Decided to Not Compete and Quietly Create Dolls Instead

Chapter 14

TL: Kourii

Editor: Raven

Author: In a place Altirea is unaware of, the encounter of the two that shouldn’t have met took place.

The knight doll Walf got up then shook off the doctor dolls who were stopping him, and directly ran out of the Doll house.

(The Princess, she’s in danger!)Walf

Seems like a really bad guy is targeting  the princess, such information was sent by the guys at Spiril.

The guy’s name was Wandering Earl.

Since he has an Earl to his name , he must be a n.o.ble.

But a n.o.ble who has a such a habit of wandering around must definitely be a bad guy.

Stop fooling around and properly look after your territory already.

(Try your best, Walf!)Doll knight 1

(Fight for our share too!)Doll knight 2

(Bring back some souvenirs!)Doll knight 3 (TL: lol that last line XD)

Looking back towards the window of the second floor, the other knights were waving their hands at him.

(Leave it to me!)Walf

Walf responded back while raising his right arm that was holding a bright red sword as if it is made from the flames of a phoenix.

The knight dolls cheered in exhilaration and the other dolls from the Doll house joined the fray.

The servants of the mansion tilted their heads in confusion over the sudden cheers from the dolls. Well since it was nothing new, they just went back to work.

Walf didn’t ride a horse.

He is faster the way he is right now.

(Everyone, thank you.)Walf

After yesterday’s ‘mock battle’ the knights order were still in a bad shape.

However, not being able to do anything when The Princess is in danger is a disgrace to their knight’s honor, so they decided to entrust their powers to the one with the least amount of injuries, Walf.

Walf sprinted through the Trice highway in the night while kicking up strong gales and whirlwinds. However, he was also careless as he went in a totally opposite way from Spiril.

He went deep into the forest to the south of  Rasilez territory. Where he found The Elf Kingdom after recklessly pa.s.sing through an odd door.

[This country is being trampled by the evil orcs. Please help us oh other world yuusha-sama](Elf) (TL: yuusha= hero.)

The princess is important but ignoring those who are in need of help is not something a knight would do.

(Understood, leave it to me)Walf

Walf used the red sword in his right hand to burn all the orcs until they were brown.

It was an unprecedented ma.s.sacre.

(I’m in a hurry, so I’m leaving.)Walf

The hero who did things like a demon lord left.

All of this only took place in about 5 seconds.

Because of the unexpected detour Walf started to run anxiously.

On the way, a lot of things happened.

He saved a village that was being attacked by monsters.

Took sick children to the city doctor.

The mushrooms found on the nearby sideways were delicious.

Walf didn’t notice but he had already pa.s.sed by Spiril at least ten times.

And so after a 30 minute long journey, he finally arrived before the enemy who he was supposed to defeat.

The figure of The Earl walking as if blending into the darkness. As you wouldn’t even notice if he was right in front of you.

He’d definitely caused a lot of harm to the people.

As expected, this Earl is a bad guy.

*               *

(I wonder if that duke is an eccentric or a profound schemer.)Earl

After leaving the avenue of  ‘Hatoba Inn’, The Earl was in deep thought while treading on the Trice highway.

The thoughts that were occupying his head right now were not of his beloved princess, but with a *head smaller than his own*, and with a physique that is regarded as large in the present time. (TL:Here he doesn’t literally mean R. Duke’s head is smaller but it’s his own wisdom he’s talking about like his wisdom is superior than the R. Duke.)

Hydraus Rozerem.

At first he almost considered that as an insult.

That why would one who have lived such a long time as himself would have to receive such training.

(However, he is also one of the Rozerem family.)Earl

A large family whose members were good at scheming.

In particular, the first Rozerem duke who he’d known well while fighting under the same flag, Kalbores Rozerem.

A rare matchless counselor. Kalbores’ words that might sound like he’s joking, all had its own purpose.

He couldn’t help but think of it this way.

(That Hydraus too should have his own foresights. No, he definitely does.)Earl

The earl firmly believed that.

(Is it so that I won’t become a bother to the princess, that I have to learn the common sense of this era? Nay, it should be an unexpected motive even for me.

…At times like this, it would be great if you were here.)Earl

The one who comes to mind was his heartfelt friend wielding a brilliant sword of fire, Wald Stable.

The current Stable royal family’s founding king aka ‘Flame Sword Emperor’.

The founder of the current existing country of a thousand years legacy was unbelievably a simple and pleasant man.

While the earl was thinking of such trivial things, he let out a hearty laugh.

(Only if you were to be reborn like the princess.)Earl

Just as he was thinking that.

The earl received a surprise attack that hit him in two different ways.

First was the enemy that was approaching from the horizon at almost the speed of light. As expected from the earl, it was not something he couldn’t correspond to.

Moreover, it was the sword of the said person, that should no longer exists in this world.

Flame sword.

A weapon shaped by flames from the crown until the edge of the blade, given only to Wald Stable as a blessing from a very high cla.s.s fire spirit.

Being in a state of shock, the earl forgot to make his move.

He didn’t even manage a simple defense as sheilding with his arm to protect his body.

The flame sword hit exactly on the earl’s forehead.

………*Pechin*. (TL: just sound effect.)

*              *

As a matter of fact, the knight doll Walf having made it here after the journey, had already run out of power.

By the way, his name Walf, is actually derived from the founding emperor, Wald.

As for the flame sword, it was something he copied using the old tale as reference, as he’s always loved it.

(Could the high spirit who contracted Wald actually be me?)Walf

Or so were the thoughts of Walf as his memories before he was given a physical body were vague and confusing.

Let’s go back to the story.

The place had an indescribable lukewarm atmosphere to it.

With not enough magic power being given to support the flame sword, it fell to the ground with a *pechin*.

Just like a shriveled banana.

The Earl’s brow was raised upwards with a puzzled expression.

In addition, even worse-

(Walf-sama, did you hear? The earl is no longer our enemy. Please refrain from carelessly attacking.)Spiril knight doll

The message arrived from the knights in the trade city Spiril.

If only it were to come a few seconds faster…… This awkward situation could have been avoided. It is a tragedy.

At his wits end, Walf remembered the oath of the doll knights.

Forcibly trying to disguise it.

(Wahahahahaha!!)Walf

He arrogantly lifted his arm up and let out a loud laugh.

(My name is knight doll Walf, the one who will become the doll emperor.) Walf 

This was the opening line of the ‘Flame Sword Emperor’ that Walf used to read long ago.

He hope to inspire himself after saying it.

(I’ve specifically come here to explain things to you today.) Walf (TL: here he use ‘kisama’ as you in a rude speech. While the rest ‘物申すべく参上つかまつった’as in a polite speech.)

He misused the polite speech but this is not the time for it.

He was spitting out words like a tornado.

(Although you’ve named yourself as earl, but didn’t you just lose your the territory as a result of abandoning the people? To call yourself a n.o.ble is presumptuous! Start over from the knights Academy!)Walf

Aah, just as he remembered that there isn’t any knight academy a thousands years ago, but it was too late as the words were already out.

The earl was looking towards him with a restless look in his eyes.

This is bad.

Now that he’s dropped the flame sword, even if he was ice-pickled here, he wouldn’t be able to resist.

Yoshi.

Oath of the knights part 2.

It’s just tactical retreat , definitely not running away.

*              *

Wasn’t that the same line that his friend used to say?

In addition, that flame sword.

It was not the first time that his friend used the sword, that he should be thankful for, to do something like cutting vegetables or even hitting other’s shoulders.

In this manner, he also used to play around stopping the magic supply and using it to slap others in the face too.

….Aah, that’s it, that’s it, so that’s it. (TL: it really is three times here as the author used ‘souka’ like 3 times so…)

Not as a human but a knight doll.

Such was the conclusion from the earl’s brain chemical reaction.

All the dolls gathered at the ‘Hatoba Inn’ are those with matchless powers. In particular, those two cat dolls under Solute’s feet who looked like ruffians.

(The presences similar to the Gragri brothers that I cornered and disposed of 600 years ago… was actually the real deal huh.)Earl

In other words,

(The dolls that my princess created, I wonder if all of them are the heroes of the previous era.)Earl

Now that he has arrived to such a hypothesis.

(Then doesn’t this mean that I don’t have to collect variant talents anymore?)Earl

He’d prepared competent human beings for the princess to use when she would be reborn but…

(What should I do from now on?)Earl

Actually, it was already clear for the earl.

(Didn’t my friend tell me just then?)Earl

It is certainly true.

He had abandoned the responsibilities of a n.o.ble and just continued on playing that way.

(So now do I still deserve to serve the princess?)Earl

No.

He has to discard the arrogance of having lived a thousand years and start over from beginning.

Aah, my friend.

No matter how long much has time pa.s.sed, you are still the same.

To think you would guide me when I had fallen in the darkness.

Understood.

As per Duke Rozerem’s proposal, let’s do just that.

*            *

The result—

The decision to ‘graduate the knight academy again to regain a new homage’ was made. Altirea received 6 years of postponement.

And the knight doll Walf’s achievement remained unknown.

Author: Next is the first part is the epilogue and the second part is the prologue. The characters who appeared have increased so maybe I will also do an introduction.

TL note: okay, the Names in italics are the speaker and the earl’s thought is put in brackets.
