How To Live In A Different World

Episode 60: The Rare Beast? Part 13

Bring the wounded merchant into the village chief's house and put him to bed in the room.

"Call a doctor right away"

"I'm sorry. There's no doctor in Konmura."

The village chief answered with regret.

"Eh!? But if you're sick or something, how have you been?

"Whatever you need. Or you can take me to Alcaine. Come on."

"Oh well..."

The village chief seems really sorry, so I stopped asking any more.

Surely there can't be a doctor in such a nasty little village.

It takes a week to fly a carriage from Coco to Alcaine.

With your health considerably depleted, it's quite dangerous to move

Since I had no choice, I decided to leave the merchant's medical attention to the village chiefs and ask the villagers who carried me on a doorboard to the village chief's house for more information.

"Um, so, did this guy say anything?

One of the villagers told me more about the situation.

Apparently, by the time we arrived, the merchant had told the villagers about the situation.

Based on its contents, he was suddenly attacked by arrows from the left and right woods as they proceeded along the street towards Alcaine, after which he was attacked by a large number of cobolts.

The location is not so far from the village.

It seems that this merchant was able to escape with his life thanks to the adventurer of the escort.

"Is that raid place close to the village?

I ask the villagers who explained.

"Well, if that's what you're describing, walk from the village, give me a minute."

"Then can we get you to that place right away?

"What, now?

"Yeah, maybe there's someone still alive, please"

"... Okay, I get it."

When I saw Cain, I waited! He has the look.

Immediately we went back to our room, prepped ourselves and guided the villagers straight to the site of the raid.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

When it came to the scene of the raid, it seemed awful there.

The carriage's luggage was scattered and the remains of the adventurers and merchants who appeared to be escorts lay undamaged around it.

Looking in the carriage, everything that was likely to be weapons, protective equipment, etc. was gone, there was nothing to eat, and the rest was just groceries.

Also, a large carriage with four heads, but no horses.

I guess the horse intends to collect weapons and protective equipment just like previous raids and make it edible.

"... it's an unbroken thing."

Mooie looks distressed when she sees the crime scene.

"I feel sorry for you for leaving me like this, so how about I bury you?

Cui looks at my face and suggests.

"Right, let's do that"

When I say that, I cast a ground fall in the place between the streets and the woods to create a hole nearly two meters deep for the number of people.

And I worked with the villagers who guided me to bury the body.

In the course of the work, Cain and the others all look equally dark.

That should be it too.

It is possible that we had the same eyes when we were raided on the verge of reaching the village.

In a way, tomorrow is selfish.

"Brother, what are you going to do with this carriage?

Cain asked me, pointing to the carriage.

It is a very fine large carriage for the merchants.

It's a shame to throw this away as it is, to be honest.

"Um, yeah, you should take it back to the village if you can"

With that said, Cain asked the conductor to send out a horse to pull the carriage from the village.

The villagers responded quickly and hurried back to the village.

While they brought the horses, we loaded the scattered baggage and carried the carriages to the village with the horses the villagers had brought.

When we returned to the village, we left the carriage to the villagers to return to the village chief's house.

I went to my room to see how the sleeping merchant was, but I wasn't conscious yet.

To make matters worse, it seems that bacteria entered the wound, causing a high fever.

The village chief's wife is in a tight condition after sweating.

Honestly, I wanted to hear more about it straight away from the merchant, but it is a rather difficult situation.

We went back to our room and the four of us decided to talk about the future.

"Now, what are we going to do?

Cain arrived at the table and asked us if we had any ideas.

"After all, I guess I'll just have to explore the woods to lice?

"But in the woods, it's very dangerous to eat unintentionally, and most importantly, it's inefficient."

Cui suggests one thing with his arms around him, whereas Mooie looks the other way.

"So, what do we do? Do you have any alternatives?

Cuy stuffs to Mooie.

Mooie shut up.

Honestly, no one can think of anything like this.

Often, the silence persisted, but I make one suggestion.

"What about the operation to be called out?

"" Calling it out?

All three of them together, head to the right uniformly.

"If you look at the distribution of the raid, it is clear that Kobolt is raiding mainly along the streets, targeting the merchants"

"" Yeah, yeah ""

"So take it backwards. In other words, use that merchant carriage to patrol the streets and attract Kobolt."

"But wouldn't that be the two dances of today's adventurers?

Cui asked me with an uneasy look.

"Of course, we'll take care of it. It looks like a merchant carriage, but it greatly reinforces the inside and makes it sturdy. And ask the villagers to cooperate"

"" Do you want me to work with you?

"That's right. Me and Cain will intercept outside, but Mooie and Cui will work with the hunters to respond with a large number of bows and arrows from inside the carriage."

"Ho, that sounds good!

Cain answered happily.

"Whatever it is, first of all, the consciousness of the sleeping merchant has to be restored and permission granted to modify the carriage, with the cooperation of the hunter. That's where the story starts."

Thus, the general direction of the Cobolt sweep was determined.
