Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

A legal document (hoki) to sweep away the Mayor of Louis was prepared in the following week.

During that week, I was able to form an expedition.

Unlike the last ad hoc expedition, I will now bring the support supplies, so I will be a full member, including the patrol.

The return wagon will have the former village mayor on board.

Glenn rushed into the place where he was checking the final loading with Miss Lenghe while looking forward to his return journey.

"Ash! Ash, my God!

"What is it?

Turning to Glenn's voice, he made me understand that it was indeed an anomaly.

Glenn was holding Miss Squirrel in his arms.

Her hair and clothes are disturbed and she seems to know at a glance that she is tired.

"Sweetie! Why are you here?

Lady Renge panicked with a loud voice she had never heard. Of course, Miss Sweet Len is usually not supposed to be here.

Reacting to Miss Renge's voice, Miss Renge opened her heavy eyelids.

"Renge...? Ash-san too....."

"Sweetie! What's wrong with you... you're okay, right?

Miss Renge is afraid to hold her hand.

Lady Suylene, wrapped in a warm hand, nodded and safely told her friend who had broken up with her in a fight before distorting her expression in an unfortunate way.

"I'm fine... But the village...."

Glenn handed Miss Swallow, who began to cry, to Miss Swallow and whipped me.

"I heard from Sweetie first. Looks like the village chief put his hand in the woods."

"I told you not to split the woods unless it's such an emergency...."

That parasite, it's only been a week, and it's already causing us problems.

I hold my head and urge Glenn to continue. [M] It's not what I want to hear, but it's what I need to hear.

"So, do you know the details?

"The village chief sued for food and let about twenty people into the forest. Only a few of them came back."

I felt very dizzy in despair.

Over the past year, more than a dozen valuable people who learned the latest agricultural techniques were lost at once.

The words "great damage" are also warm.

"What the hell happened?"

While biting his teeth, he managed to spit out his words.

Glenn, it took a lot of energy to squeeze out the next word. [M]

"Trent attacked me."

Following the werewolf, the appearance of the second type of monster made me clink for a while.

Is the Mayor of Louis a god that causes trouble?

After a year of cramped work and finally seeing Hell's Conquest, this furious and dangerous rush.

This is terrible after everything I've done.

Pioneer, second blade, middle-sized, and lieutenant general, all of them have made a major reversal in the battle of the general through the victory of effort and friendship.

After all, the Mayor of Louis is a god. Definitely a plague god of hell.

Smile at me, Yuika.

My consciousness to pray to the gods of faith is retained by the voice of a sobbing girl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

"What are you talking about? Sweetheart, it's not so bad."

It is Miss Sweet Len who is crying.

She clings to the girl who embraces herself, crying and someday repenting.

"No, I... said that three years ago..."

When I heard that three years ago, Miss Renge instantly realized what was going on and gently shook her head.

"It's okay, because I don't care. than that right now....."

"It's not good, it's not good... I finally realized how selfish I was at that time."

With no frustration and no tears, Lady Sweetie tells what she has learned in the past year.

"I didn't know it was so hard to increase the harvest. I didn't think about how precious the food I received was. I can't believe everyone in this village is so afraid of danger... At that time, I just didn't feel anything... I didn't think about everyone in the village...!

So, sorry, the girl apologizes many times.

For three years, trying to pay back the sinister debts that had accumulated in the pile, I was exhausted and desperately put my strength into it.

In contrast, a girl who has been concerned about her friends for three years firmly hugs her crying partner again.

"You're the head of a fine village, right? I'm proud to be your friend."

When I see Miss Renge forgiving her friend, I smack her cheek and calm down.

Enough prayers for the Yuika Goddess. I pray sincerely and indispensably every day.

Then you should do your best now.

If you don't do something about it, you'll stain those two girls' beautiful tears with grief.

"Expedition! All right, listen up! Reschedule!

Under the first order, the officers who had already perceived the abnormal situation grabbed their mouths together and turned their faces towards me.

You guys are so professional, I can count on you.

"From now on, the expedition's purpose will be to respond to the Trent exodus rather than to deliver food aid to the village of Ajor. First, we prioritize the rescue of the villagers, then we plan to crush Trent. You're good!

With everyone's understanding, I will first order the loading and unloading of the bulk of the food, which is the loading of the wagon.

To speed up the journey in an empty carriage and evacuate the villagers. Food should be provided for the villagers and expeditionaries at a minimum.

Running a telegram to contact Mr. Itsuki and Miss Mayka, I look back at the two girls.

Renge, take a break from Squirrel.

"Ah, I have to go back to the village too...!

It was Miss Lenghe, not Miss Lenghe, who responded to my instructions.

With my gaze, I suppressed Miss Squirrel, who was about to shake off her arm.

"... I'm going."

Somehow, he looked back with a temperamental gaze.

Nobody said they wouldn't take you.

"Please be a little tired, Mr. Swiren. We'll leave as soon as we're ready. When you get to the village, it's your job to instruct the villagers."

"Nh, leave it to me!

I won't be able to get around that much. I'm counting on you.

Now, as far as villager rescue is concerned, the problem is how to crush Trent, as long as we only think about moving quickly.

Since the werewolf battle, I've been prepping for what I need to know about monsters.

Trent is a monster called a two-meter human tree.

Yeah, it looks good.

It is a monster that is tireless, has a hard skin, is as durable as a werewolf, and keeps attacking forever. With its huge body and strength, it crushes its hunted enemies.

However, as it looks like a plant, it moves very slowly.

If they're together, they can escape on foot.

However, since they are relentlessly pursuing us, unless we flee to a defensive position, the destination will be damaged.

In the village of Ajol, some villagers have fled safely to the village, so it is expected that they will follow us there.

Moreover, since only some of the villagers were able to return, it is expected that a significant number of them will be in the forest, which is not the case with one or two.

How do we defeat it?

Trent's weakness is the head.

With regard to the head, it seems that it is not as insane as a werewolf, and it has been taught that if the brain is damaged, it will die.

Plants, brains? You might think so, but there is. Trent has a brain.

Hi, it looks like a human tree, but that's the part of the armor that fits. It contains the carcasses of apes and gorillas.

Yes, an insane person like Trent is not a plant that can walk. It's a plant that parasitizes and moves animal carcasses.

Either way, he is insane.

It's just a fantasy to the detriment of humanity.

But if the body's brain is damaged and it dies - if it can't move, we can attack it.

Problem is, bark armor seems pretty sturdy.

A regular long bow is an armor that is very small but cannot penetrate.

In the literature, there was a countermeasure to beat and break the axe many times after it fell somehow. The most recommended recipe is a crossbow gun.

You can't take a crossbow gun to a village on the edge of a boulder immediately.

"Hmm... brain destruction..."

I am afraid of whether it is effective or not, but I came up with one.

I call out to one of the carriages that unloaded the load.

"Please keep heading to Quid's shop. I'm going to buy some weapons for Trent."

I hope it's enough.
