"Are you all right?
I heard they were the best of the orcs. When I defeated Oak Road, I spoke to the people in the back of the cave.
I was tickled earlier to confirm, but all the women there seem to be safe.
"Ha... Yes, thank you for your help"
One woman who responded to my voice has said thank you.
So I nod softly.
A closer look at the people caught confirmed that the various races were mixed with long ears or growing the ears of the beast like the Beast tribe.
Well, the most people seem to be people.
The men in the village were quite a mix of different races, and I guess they're people who don't really care if their race is different.
"Oh, Mi, don't look"
"Oops..."
Phil suddenly blocked my eyes with both hands confirming that.
But I'm not suddenly going to tell you what I'm doing here.
Maybe Phil hid my eyes because he cared about the villagers.
"... Hide your body with this for now if you've been torn through your clothes"
I took a few blankets out of the item box and gave them to a woman who would be nearby.
By the way, the cave was illuminated by a flame of pine light, but it was dark, and Phil didn't have to blindfold me, and I didn't see it well.
I'm sorry to hear what you didn't see so well.
After a few minutes or so of that, Phil gently takes his hands off my face to see if all the villagers could hide their bare skin.
"Ah... thank you...... yeah, may I ask your name better?
And so I finally regained my sight, and a long-heared woman asked me.
This time the enemy was just a monster, and there would be no need for weird delusions here.
"My name is Singh. Passing Earthlings."
So I made as crisp a look as possible and answered my name and origin.
Underlining the fact that we are Earthlings on purpose here is part of the Earthlings image enhancement strategy: "We Earthlings are not your enemies."
Earthlings' impressions in Earth have not yet solidified.
By carrying out this kind of authentic activity, we gradually accept the Earthlings who are outsiders.
"Sin... are you... that's a lovely name..."
But it seems that there has been more interest in me than in the Earthlings.
Well, there's a refreshment and a savior in places like Orc's Crisis Hair.
But you know what?
I haven't heard it in a while, but it reminds me of Sakuya.
What will he do now?
"... let's go back to the village if we can walk for now. Because the men of the village are waiting outside."
"Yes......"
I shook my head and changed my mind and took the people who were in the cave and went outside.
"Oh, that? What happened to the orcs?
Then one of the men in the village waiting outside was looking at the women and circling their eyes.
"Oh, I knocked them all down"
"What, all of it?
"Maybe he's still lurking in the woods, but he's knocked down all the orcs that were in the cave."
"Oh... oh... well"
Apparently, he didn't think I could take it all down on my own on a boulder.
All the men in the village who were there had the look of surprise.
"Good day...... Yes, Mr. Singh"
"Oh, good job Phil too"
And Phil kept his head down on me with a pepper and a word of labor.
So I return the words of my labor lightly, too, and stroke Phil's head.
"I'm not that tired... I almost relied on Mr. Singh after all..."
"That's not true. You followed me properly, didn't you?
If I had been alone in the cave, I might have turned a blind eye to the women who had been caught by the oak and revealed their complexion.
Because of this, I rushed to help and said that my fondness is nagging, but if they round out my sketchy mind like that, it would cool off over there.
If that happens, it may also sound like the reward you are going to receive.
But Phil followed it and ruled out the possibility that I would be scolded by the villagers for being a skank.
I am grateful to her for stopping the image of the Earthlings from going down.
Thus we succeeded in successfully rescuing the village woman from the oak.
"Phew..."
Back in the village we were entertained at the village chief's house, and after cleaning our bodies dirty in battle with hot water and cloth, fresh vegetables that were picked in the village and pork caught in large quantities today (?) also rented a room to stay for the main meal.
That room was for two, and Phil and I haven't gotten an environment where we could rest in separate rooms in a long time.
Gardia is staying in the barn, by the way.
He looks like he can sleep basically anywhere and he won't have a problem.
"... Well"
And I hadn't been alone in a while, so I was a little twitchy.
Nothing. This isn't about Phil being away and lonely or anything, it's just about the tsuke that hasn't been able to dissipate a lot before.
It's commonly said that he's accumulating.
I can't do that because there are monsters out there, and even when I was in the city, I couldn't do it because of Phil's eyes.
This is also the village chief's house, and there will be Phil beyond the thin wall, but if you do things quietly and ventilate properly, you won't find out first.
I thought so. I was on the bed.
…………
And that's when I heard the door of the room knocking with a concon.
Beyond the door is probably Phil.
I don't mind because it's not bad timing because I haven't started anything yet, but maybe you've come to give me a massage like every other time.
Is the skill level of abnormal condition increased again?
I'm not going to raise my skills because I can't do much weird things in people's homes.
"Yes, yes, I'll open it now..."?
When I opened the door with that in mind, I saw in my eyes the long-eared woman who helped me today - an elf woman standing.
Looks like it wasn't Phil who came to visit.
"... what can I do for you?
I asked the elf woman.
It seems that this village is inhabited by people and beasts, as well as a handful of spirits and elves, who join forces.
I've never seen an elf before, but apparently they're almost the same creatures as us.
Well, there seems to be a difference between having a long life expectancy and having long ears, almost all of them being beautiful men and women.
By the way, the woman who's been visiting me now is also quite beautiful in style.
Looks like she's about 15-17 years older than me, but how old is she actually?
Maybe he's a few hundred years old or something, like Crail.
"... why don't you let me go inside?
"Oh, oh, go ahead"
If I had thought of that, an elf woman would have said she wanted to go inside my room.
So I slip my body aside and invite her into the room.
"So, what the hell are you doing at this hour?
I asked her again.
I'm still up late now.
A good boy is a good time to rest.
Yet visiting a room like this must be for a good reason.
"Give Singh the reward of an oak crusade..."
"That or"
I spoke convincingly in response to the word "reward" that the elf woman had spoken.
We're being welcomed for defeating the oak, but we haven't been able to talk properly about the reward yet.
I didn't ask you today because I was wondering if you'd like to talk to me, but I was going to ask you about the matter properly when it came to tomorrow.
I didn't think I'd step down on a boulder, but I was guessing it would be a little hard to talk from the other side.
But what the hell are you thinking about putting such a story at such a late hour?
"Isn't that a good story tomorrow?
"No, because I think the rewards are the easiest to receive now"
What's this all about?
Is there something that makes it easiest to receive now, depending on the time of day?
"Oh, my name is Elena"
"Oh, thank you."
The elf woman said I was strangling herself - Elena introduced herself to me and kept her head down with a peck.
So I bow my head lightly too.
Then Elena raised her head and started talking about the subject again.
"Mr. Singh. In fact, our village is not that wealthy."
"Really?
"Yes, and then I can say that this demonic raid has almost lost room in the village..."
"Phew..."
Well...... I guess so.
Damage to village fields, livestock, houses, and people is considerable.
I can also nod that I can't afford it.
But does that mean you can't afford to pay us?
"So it's difficult to pay for things that are financial… Until recently, the village chief and I had a headache"
"Heh..."
"At the end of the day, I even came up with a proposal to ask people to talk about the situation in the village and not talk about paying the remuneration. It is not a response to the brave man who saved the village's predicament..."
"Ha..."
If the village is poor, reluctance to pay is inevitable in some ways.
So me and Phil needed to get the reward finalized before we could help the village.
That's not just a village situation, it's a natural way of negotiating, but I dared to give priority to saving lives nonetheless.
Negotiate and eat time, and wake up badly if your life wasn't saved as a result.
That kind of behavior of mine went behind my back, but, well, I didn't lose this one, and I was able to hunt bonus stage rage, so I don't mind if the reward is just a treat and lodging in the village.
Maybe Phil didn't help out for the reward either, and he'll still say yes.
"But I would like to be of service to you Sin..."
"Yeah?
but behind my thoughts like that, Elena keeps talking.
"So... I'm going to pay the reward..."
"……………………………………………………………?
Elena began to sneak off the brown clothes she was wearing when she said she would pay the reward while blushing her cheeks.
I saw it. I wolf and run to the corner of the room.
"Yes, yes, what all of a sudden?"
"This is the reward I can give you…"
I'm in the corner of the room. I look away from Elena, who's naked.
But she made footsteps as she approached me, slowly spinning her words.
"My body has been cleansed... to the oak... I didn't let the man living in the village touch me. There is something about me that I lack experience with... I will serve you to the fullest..."
"No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait."
"I was wondering if you would be satisfied with this reward... haha... come on Singh, please enjoy me fully..."
"Hey, wait a minute. Seriously, wait. Seriously, Hon, seriously, wait."
Elena's slightly rough breath can be heard from under her neck.
And I began to resist desperately, shaking my troubles.
