Glory to Earth Magic

We handed the bandits over to a nearby city, and we continued our journey well... I'm glad to hear that some problems are still emerging.

"I'm so sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize. Because there's no other way to escape."

The person walking with a leopard on my shoulder apologizes with regret, so I tell her that I don't care while waving.

Why did this happen? That was long enough ago.

It has already been a day since we met the bandits, and until then we were on our way without any particular problems.

Until then, however, a horse running normally had suddenly rumbled like crazy.

Naturally, your mistress tried her best to calm it down, but her right-hand leg is sprained by the mistress, whose merit has also been shaken from the platform in vain.

During the noise, both horses fled somewhere.

I had no choice but to put the carriage body on the spot and look for a nearby village or town on foot.

We need to procure a new horse, and we need to do something about your injury.

"Nevertheless, why does a horse suddenly run away like that because he's doing something right..."

The man next to me says that with a face that doesn't fall on his heart.

"It was like you were scared of something."

To your words, Flam opens his mouth with his hands on his chin.

Sure, it also looks like that horse got away with freaking out about something.

"But what the hell were you scared of?"

"Sure... there was no sign of any demons nearby."

Flam and Fore think in the same way with their hands on their jaws.

"Ma, shall we put that behind us for now? First, we need to find a village or something."

"I'm so sorry. It annoys my hero."

"So don't apologize... it's not your fault that the horse ran away."

I have been apologized for so many times from earlier, so on the contrary, I am sorry about this one.

"Alas? Isn't it the village you see over there?

After walking for a while, Fram opened his mouth as he pointed over, so if you look over there, there was something definitely village.

When I approached him, he looked like a small village.

"Good -. In the meantime, let's have you stay here today. We need to treat your injuries."

If you realize that it is already evening and you go back like this, Nojuku is certain, so you decide to reveal the night in this village.

"Hmmm......"

"What is it?

When he tried to enter the village, he called out because he was worried about something.

"No... I thought there might have been a village here. Well, but it's probably my mistake. Well, it's been a long time since Kubatha."

Well, it's been a long time.

We'll go straight into the village and find a doctor.

When asked by the villagers, the doctor immediately found her and examined her injuries.

"Hmm, that's a mild sprain. If you stay at rest for a day, you'll be better. It's already sundown, and you should stay here."

"I understand."

Hmm. I'm glad the injury was light. Looks like your man's staying here all day.

What shall we do...?

"Excuse me. Is there anything like an inn in this village?

When I think about our future plans, Fram asks the doctor.

"Hate, this village is small as you can see... there is no inn. The truth is, I'd love to stay in this house, but if I stay here, I'm running out of beds."

The doctor apologetically lowers his head when he says so.

Hmm... then I wonder what's wrong.

"However, there is room for guests at the village chief's house, so I think you can stay if you tell us what's going on. Because the village chief likes to listen to travelers."

"I get it. Thank you for taking the time."

Then, when we ask the village chief how to get to his house, we ask him to leave the doctor's house.

"Nevertheless, I'm glad he was slightly injured."

"Yeah, yeah, I was worried because it was falling pretty flashy."

Flam and Fore are talking about that on their way to the village chief's house.

Fram and Fore are quite close because of their similar personalities. If you notice, you and I have a lot of conversation.

"Um... Are you an adventurer?

As we walked, we were called out, so when we were there, a woman with chestnut-haired wavy hair stood as old as us.

I can't say she's pretty, but she's a loving looking woman.

"Yes... but what about you?

"Wow, my name is Tausent and I am a resident of this village. So... I won't say anything wrong, so you should leave now."

We face to face with the words of a woman named Tauzent.

"What does that mean?

When I ask on behalf of him, Tausent opens his mouth with a little hesitation.

"Actually, there are demons of cannibalism in the vicinity of this village. Mainly because adventurers are more sacrificed, I thought I'd give them a warning before they attacked me..."

I see there is such a demon......

I just can't leave you alone more than I've heard about that.

He said mainly that... but perhaps the villagers have also been harmed.

"If you don't mind, why don't we get rid of that demon? Either way, if you're with us, you're hurt, and you can't move until tomorrow. So the doctor told me to stay at the village chief's house, so I was on my way."

"Defeat ⁉ It's so lame! That's what made so many adventurers more sacrificed! I'm sorry to bring you, but just you guys hurry up..." What's wrong? Towzent "… O, Father"

As Tausent pulls my arm and hurries, there's a voice behind us.

Turning around, there stood an elderly man with noticeable gray hair.

Apparently, Tausent's father.

"Ji, actually..."

Tausent tells the man what we talked about earlier.

"I see. I understand the story. But Tausent or. He's nocturnal. It's already night and it's dangerous to kick him out of the village, don't you think?

Sure, it was already night when I realized it.

"Take them down, get out of the village. Don't you think it'd be safer if you stayed in the village today and acted on it while it was bright?

"Right...... right. I apologize for my inconsideration."

Tausent lowers her head with her father, feeling sorry for her.

"No, no, my daughter excused me. Oops, I'm late to introduce myself. I am Gushahul, the village chief. I need you to know me."

◆

Since then, Tausent's father, Mr. Gushahul, has been invited into his house, and we will tell him how he came here for dinner.

"Well, that happened on the way to Kuvasa... perhaps he sensed signs of a man-eater demon and escaped."

"But I didn't see any sign of such a monster, did I? We, the elves, are supposed to be sensitive to that..."

"Now...... I'm not familiar with it either, so I can't say anything about all that."

To Follet's words, Mr. Gushahul says with regret.

That's right. If you're an adventurer, you can't be familiar with demons.

"Well, here's our situation. So, what's a man-eater demon?

"… for about three months now? He suddenly appeared near our village, where he had lived peacefully. He's nocturnal, he works at night, so we don't know what he looks like, but we only know he eats people."

Three months ago...? Could it be Giga's influence?

His body was filled with shards of evil gods. Maybe that made some difference to the demons.

"Naturally, several people in the village were also harmed. All the adventurers who tried to get rid of it when they heard it...... However, we know that he moves slowly during the day. So if you mean to be defeated, it's a good idea to go at noon."

If it's nocturnal, you should certainly go knock it down at noon.

You need to go out of your way when they're doing well. However, the problem is that adventurers who would have done it have also been hit.

A monster strong enough to slaughter an adventurer by day. I can't let my guard down.

"As far as I'm concerned, if you can take him down, he's very strong, so I suggest you forget about this place and travel tomorrow morning."

"That's not why I'm here."

"That's right. If you're in trouble, you can't leave me alone."

"Oh no! Leave it to us, old man!

"I'm pretty strong when I look like this, so I'm hoping."

In response to Mr. Gushahul's words, we say that verbally in an attempt to reassure him.

"Gentlemen...... thank you very much. We'll talk about his whereabouts tomorrow. Today, take the rest of the day off. … Towzent"

"Yes, Father"

When Mr. Gushahul calls, Tausent comes forward and leads us to our room.

"I'll be here....... good? No matter what happens, you must never leave the room, right? 'Cause you'll be attacked by a man-eater demon."

Tausent goes back to Mr. Gushahul when he warns him so with a serious expression.

After a little chat, we went to bed with a little vigilance.
