How To Live In A Different World

Episode 61: The Rare Beast? Fourteen.

Around noon the next day, the consciousness of a merchant who had a high fever returned.

We're headed straight to the room where the merchant is sleeping.

"Is it possible to talk?

Ask the wife of the village chief who was sick about the merchant's condition.

"Fever, there's more, I'd rather..."

You shouldn't force me too much, that's the look on your face.

In order to be brief, I decided to ask the main points together.

"Sorry about the tightness. I am an adventurer who belongs to the guild of Bales who is coming to this village on the Kobolt crusade. Just let me know what's going on."

"Gohogoho, ah, you're the one who put healing magic on me! If there's anything I can do to help..."

The merchant's face looks blacker and very dull, but he seems to manage to answer it.

"I'll make it brief. There are three main points to ask. The first is the approximate number of cobolts that have been raided. The second is the presence or absence of large cobolts with red fur. The third is the permission to use and modify the merchant carriage in order to attract the cobolts."

"Modified?"

"Yes, Kobolt specializes in targeting the merchants, so I want you to use your wagon for that."

"... okay. Feel free to use it if it will take the revenge of your fellow citizens. Gohogoho,... and Cobolt was probably around twenty. In it, only one of them was large and the redhead type looked at it from near the woods."

"Is that so? I get it. Thank you very much."

I got all the information I needed.

"Um, please take vengeance.... of all of us in the merchant squad... go-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho."

"I understand. I will definitely knock you down. Please rest and heal your wounds."

"... thank you."

The merchant wept, showing tears and turning his face to the other side.

We left the room and headed for the village chief.

"Mayor, I have a favor to ask you."

"What is it?

"I'd like to borrow about six hunters for a crusade"

I didn't think I could go around saying it in a troubled way, so I decided to ask her straight away.

"So again, what do you mean?

"Here's the operation. Kobolt specializes in targeting the merchants. Therefore, we will use the merchant wagon as a wagon. The merchant gave me permission to use the merchant's carriage. We will now modify and enhance the carriage. So I want someone to use that carriage to attract the Kobolts and shoot a bow from inside the carriage against the Kobolts that they've raided."

"Ho, no, but it's okay."

"There are certainly risks. But this is an opportunity. Now Kobolt is falling sharply in the battle the other day. The merchant story says it's around twenty. But going around looking for the woods for lice can take time and in the meantime increase again. It's a diminishing opportunity now."

"Um,... but I don't know"

When the village chief has a reluctant look,

"You, don't cooperate with him. There were only five of us, and they did that for a cheap reward, too..."

The wife of the village chief, who happened to be on my side, assisted me for some reason.

"... I get it. I won't talk to the hunters now."

"Thank you."

I managed to convince the village chief.

I turned to Cain and the others.

"Okay, it's a modification of the carriage!

Inside the carriage with thin sides and ceilings, place another thick plate and make it sturdy so that the arrows do not penetrate.

Then, a square hole measuring 40 cm in length and width is drilled on the left and right sides to create eight small, removable windows.

Furthermore, close the rear luggage entrance with a thick plate so that it cannot be entered, leaving the entrance and exit only to your side, and install the door plate there as well.

Finally, attach the side plates and ceiling plates to your table.

When the carriage is ready, put six hunters and food for a number of people in the carriage.

Mucha didn't try to leave me, but he managed to tell me and put me on standby in the carriage.

I watched on the ceiling, and Cain became your man and began to travel along the streets where Kobolt was likely to leave the village.

On the third day of the operation, they showed up.

When both sides came to the woods and the outlook was poor, it happened.

Suddenly an arrow flew in unison as if it had signaled from the left and right woods.

Cain escaped the difficulty, as the platform assumed it beforehand, and covered it with thick doorboards to surround him.

I was on guard with a big shield on my back, so I didn't get hurt.

However, because of the massive arrow attacks, four horses were shot, the carriage stopped and the rear was like a hare with arrows.

Then, when the arrow rain stopped, the barking cobolts attacked simultaneously in three rows of columns from the left and right woods.

"Now!

I checked the condition from the top of the wagon, and when I sent a signal downstairs, eight wooden frames could be removed from the left and right side of the wagon to form a small window.

From there, a precise arrow is fired at the Kobolts against whom the Cues are attacking.

One after the other, the cobolts are picked up by arrows fired from the carriage.

In that situation, I saw a large, red-haired cobolt queen emerge from the forest on the left offering three cobolts.

"Cain, to the left. Let's go!"

After I signal the wagon queues again, I split my skill bonus values in half into muscle strength and strength. I jump from the top of the wagon with short swords and shields and stick them inside the left-hand cobolts.

Cain also jumped off your pod with Battleax in his hands and tore the near-field cobolt in two straight from the top.

Cobolt Queen takes the sword and approaches Cain.

"I'm your opponent!

I take out the knife and throw it all I want toward Cobolt Queen, and I stick it in my back.

But without wishing to do so, Cobolt Queen runs with cain in mind.

As it is, Cain is in danger.

I push the cobolt away and pack the distance from the cobolt queen.

When Cain slashes and defeats the second Cobolt, he enters the approaching Cobolt Queen interception position.

Gaqueen.

The Great Sword is swung down from the top and takes it in the Battleax, but Cain kneels to the ground without enough strength.

Bad, obviously Cain doesn't have enough power.

I try to put my shield forward and hit my body toward the Cobolt Queen.

The moment I thought I was approaching at full speed and hit my body via a shield toward the back of the Cobolt Queen,

... all of a sudden I'm missing my goal.

"Brother, behind you!

Cain in front of me screams.

Zshah.

At that moment I felt a hot piece of linear on my back.
