Dig some deep holes, drain bandits with magic drains, and then throw them into pieces. After that, the jail will be completed by capping it with earth magic and opening an air hole.

It is dark and narrow and I feel like it is a pretty harsh environment, but I don't care. Incidentally, the leader Lumon could be troublesome with his men, so I made a private room hole a little further away. VIP treatment.

"Well, I'll keep an eye out for you. You go back to bed first."

"Okay. Then I'll let you rest first. If anything happens, wake me up.... instead of spraying it with water, if possible."

"You idiot, I don't want to be such a normal sleeping girl. Good night ~"

Celine sat down with a cushion on the armchair I had made of earth magic and wrapped it around a blanket, waved her hand slightly out of the blanket and dropped us off.

The three of us turn our backs to Celine and proceed to the container house. As I walked, I asked Esther what I thought.

"Hey, Esther."

"Yeah, what is it?

"Esther, why don't you take a bath again?

"Hmm!? Am I that bad!?

As soon as she dyed her face bright red, Esther starts sniffing up her coat's chest in a hurry.

"Ah, no, no!? Look, you must have sweated, and even if you didn't get blood from the bandits, you'd still get dirty, right?

Even though it all ended with a beating, after cutting it off with the old people. There is nothing better than keeping it clean. The best thing to do this time is undoubtedly Ester.

"Ah, that's what I'm surprised at... If that's the case, I'll let you in.... are you really sweating?

"Ahahah, it's okay."

When I laughed and Estelle exhaled relieved, Nicolas sent me a message.

There is an old man's sweat and juice on the skin of the current ester at a fine particle level......? When you think about it, it's kind of dirty. "

"It could be on your neck."

Nicola distorted my face.

Ugh, don't remind me of nasty things ─ Picon!

I rushed to Esther with a pseudo sound that sounded like something came to mind. Then he asks funny questions with a gaze.

"Estelle, can't you come in with Nicola...?

Nicolas is still having an unhealthy stew after being taken hostage. If it's a regular ester, it will show a difficult color....

"Eh, mmm. That's right... We need to get in early and get ready for tomorrow. All right, let's go in together."

Thank you, Estelle.

Shyaaaaaaaaa!

Nicola's binary broadcast has spirited into my brain. An affectionate and situational operation seems to have succeeded. Well, it's true that she was taken hostage, and Nicolas should refresh herself. It's like that, but I think you're really a little depressed.

Then, on the side of the container house, she climbed the rebuilt staircase, and Esther and Nicolas went up to the second floor where the bath was located.

I followed him from behind, blocked the hole I had drilled to get straight to the roof, and then handed him some hot water and a towel. Then, when I returned to the front door by myself, I restored the entrance, which was enclosed by earth magic, and entered the container house.

It was in a dark container house when the bandits attacked, but now it's bright with a magic lamp that Thio would have lit up.

I paused in front of the dumpster, staring at the glare of the room... and after some thought, I decided to stay inside tonight. I've already unlocked my feet, so even if I take off my shoes now, my feet will just get dirty.

I'll have it cleaned while I wait for Celine tomorrow. We need to put the windows back and the carpet back on. There are a lot of things I have to do...

Welcome back, Marc.

Thinking about the work I have to do tomorrow, Thio, who was right near the window, approached.

"I'm Tio Oneechan now. I finished cleaning up the mess."

Tio crouched down and hugged me before I could finish. I was surprised by the sudden events, but I quickly understood why Tio's body was trembling. Well, that's true.

"I'm sorry, Thio. I wish you'd come back sooner. I'm really sorry I left you alone."

"... yeah, it's pathetic of me to just stay still, even though you've been fighting hard."

I can't help saying that. To be honest, I was comfortable with Celine's presence, and I wasn't that scared, but from Thio, who didn't know what Celine was capable of, I guess I didn't feel like it.

They would have heard bandits standing and yelling, and they would have desperately endured fear as they crowded under the table to see what would happen to the last of us if we were killed. I don't suppose that's because I removed the culprit, and I can't get it right away.

"I'm sorry, Marc. Will you let me do this a little bit more...?

"Fine. You can rest assured already. The bandits have all been destroyed, and Celine is watching now. Tio, you did your best."

That's how I stroked your back. Tio nods lightly and slows down a little.

"I didn't do anything. But thank you... guuu"

Tio suddenly stood up as she heard the sound of her nose sniffing for a few minutes.

"- No, I'm sorry, right? You must be protected, comforted, and pathetic by a child younger than your brother! Haha!"

Tio's eyes, which smiled brightly, were still a little red, but they also looked fairly calm. Probably all right now.

"I can't help it. I'm scared of all those bandits."

"Everyone but me seemed to be fine by then. I heard from the inside that you took down Marc, the best of the bandits, the Lumon, right? It's amazing."

"Well, me and Nicolas were attacked by bandits for the third time, and Celine was an adventurer and Esther was an adventurer. Thio, it's not like your sister."

"It's terrible to be attacked three times by a bandit... Nevertheless, Marc is less than his younger brother. I'm really just taking care of you. How do I repay my debt?

"Never mind. After that, Esther and Nicolas will be back from the bath soon, and we'll sleep first."

"That's right.... fufu, if you were a little bigger, I could have paid you for it myself."

Thio smiled faintly and stroked my neck.

... what are you talking about, this guy? At times like this, it's limited to pretending to know nothing. I turned the Kyoton's face into a thio, and after a light blow, Thio started walking toward the bedroom, saying, "I knew it was too early."

◇ ◇ ◇

And the next morning, Celine and Garrett went to the town of Tolfe first, as planned.

Me, Nicolas, Esther is on the voicemail. Tio could have gone to town with me, but she offered to help me clean the container house.

This was honestly helpful because the room was covered with sand even though I only entered with dirt feet. Tio was a much older mop than me and cleaned the floor to the corner.

During the cleaning process, magic drains are placed in holes that show signs of bandits waking up. Estelle and Nicolas let me know right away, so it wasn't that hard to watch.

Lumon woke up one time around noon and the gift without the gift disappeared... I heard a bumpy voice, but I got a coma again with a magic drain without answering anything. Apparently, I didn't think I had the gift absorbed either.

Celine said that she would come back the next day along with the round-trip time and procedures, but she was right the next morning. Celine brought back a carriage with dozens of guards and cages.
