Weeks had already passed since Lustu's people had taken refuge in the village.
As Zeke and the others said, the village seems to have a very strong bond, and thanks to it we are able to spend peaceful days without fear of monster raids. The communication with that subdivision is almost completely cut off - because if you leave the village to make contact, the chances of being found by monsters will increase - and the brave men have no idea what is happening to the King's Capital now.
The village was small but full of children and lively. It seems to me that this village will be occupied by some Rustu children until they reach some age. Even when I looked at children, there were many young villagers of comparative age, and there was no hostility like before.
― ― I'm teaching my children how to cook in this village. I was uncomfortable spending vaguely protected days and offered to thank you for what you were hiding.
Without a dedicated dispenser, it is possible to dispense a healing medicine as long as the environment is in place where you can heat herbs and fresh water and roast herbs. Fortunately, however, the village seems to be making healing medicine on a daily basis - in case of raids - with all the ingredients and equipment.
"Laura, oneechan! I don't know.
A boy with amber eyes rushed over with a healing medicine in his hand. I receive the healing medicine and see it through the light. It is not cloudy. There is no irritating odor. I soaked my fingertips and licked them, but there was no pain. Perfect.
"Yeah, perfect!
The boy laughed with joy when he praised it for being amazing.
All the children of the people of Lustu are excellent. If taught, it absorbs knowledge like a sponge that inhales water and shows it immediately. The appearance reminded me of my junior, Iris.
"Ah! Hey, you! Don't stop because it's dangerous!
I hear Elvira scolding the child a little further away. She is nothing but a sister here. But I take good care of it.
A beautiful woman appeared as she was having a lively concert with Wai. Gina has red eyes on her silver hair. A woman who is in charge of this village.
"Lady Laura, Lady Elvira. I'm sorry, you took care of the children....."
"No, I have nothing to do... Everyone understands fast and amazing."
That said, Gina smiles very happy. She seemed to love the children of this village as much as she loved my child.
"Why don't we all have lunch? The weather is nice today, so go outside."
Absolutely!
I nodded at the invitation of lunch, and everyone went out together.
Spread through the woods, this village reminds me of my home village of Emme. That said, the village's buildings are splendid and well equipped to beat the King's Capital. Still, I was kind of familiar with this scenery surrounded by forests and this environment close to people.
Following Gina, a feast spreads over a warm wooden table. The children rush in cheering. Elvira was also pulled by the children and sat on the bench.
After that, I sat down in the corner. Then Mercedes, an elf woman with pale green hair, sat in the opposite seat.
"Yes, Laura."
"Thank you, Mr. Mercedes."
I took the sandwich offered by Mr. Mercedes and put a sip on my cheek. It tasted kind of nostalgic and warm.
Throat.
"Really. How long have you been so relaxed?"
"Laura's been busy ever since she became an apprentice."
She laughs bitterly at Mr Mercedes for sure. Since becoming an apprentice to the Crown Concoctor, I have noticed that I have been running all the way to today. While I wonder if I can live such a calm day while I'm busy with work, there are myself who are enjoying such calm days.
I wonder what's going on with Lukash and the others. Is Arnold still worried about Elvira? Mr Caspere seems to be building a neighborhood around his eyes again. Chelsea and Senpai Lina will be more burdened by me than anyone else. Iris and Basilio are in trouble at the Fralia branch.
"... oniichan, how are you doing?"
Elvira murmured next to her. She is also worried about her brother.
It wasn't me or Mercedes who responded to the words, but Gina, who smiled calmly.
"Do you care?
"Gina?
"I can't get through for a long time... Elvira, take a peek inside."
That said, Gina showed Elvira a shallow pot vessel. Looking in, there is water in the vessel.
The moment Gina gently touched the edge of the vessel, the water glowed. Turn your eyes blindly and slowly open your eyelids after a few seconds. Then,
Lady Laura?
Diona's face was lying on the water.
"Diona, can you see me?
Around us, Gina and Diona have a conversation over the water. It was like watching a video call from a previous life.
Elvira was the first to react.
"What is this!?
"We don't know how it works, but it's a means of communication that the Lord once left us. It needs a lot of light, so few people can use it....."
(It's an auto part....?
I don't know the principle, but it's like a phone in this world that works with the power of light anyway. In other words, the diona that is now visible on the water is not a phantom or anything, but a genuine diona!
I wonder how she is, and I peek into the water. Although Diona looked a little tired after seeing her for a long time, she was relieved that she didn't look thin and that her complexion didn't look bad.
I heard the story. Are you all right?
"Thanks. But it bothered me...."
Of course not! We haven't returned anything to Laura yet, so please rely more on us. "
She nodded as she remembered the slight smell of Diona smiling. Now, there's nothing I can do about it. Then I have no choice but to be generous and sweet to the word.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I thought, hey, one face peeks from the side. A boy with blonde hair shaking and slightly rounded blue eyes - Lukash. I was relieved to see that face.
Laura!
"Lukash, long time no see."
Are you okay!? Are you hurt?
"You're all right. I'm sorry I worried."
I waved my hand so as to calm down the panic childhood habits. Then Lukash took a breath of relief and then laughed with relief.
Yeah, I'm glad you're okay.
It should have come to Lukash's ears that I was protected in the village of the people of Lustu, but it seems to have caused a lot of worry. I'm glad you protected him in this village, even if it meant no extra worry to him.
Without looking at it a little, I feel like I've gotten a little bit more successful. Rather than being a boy, I got the impression that my childhood was wanting to be expressed as a youth.
"How's everybody doing now?
I'm in the town of Khaen, but apparently there's a cave full of monsters. I'm thinking of going there. "
A cave full of monsters. Follow that word back to the memory of the last life.
(Ah, there was such an event, I'm sure)
It was recalled that similar events were also available at Last Brave. There were spirits living in the cave, but it was sealed by the monster, and the cave became the root castle of the monster. Defeating the Cave Boss will bring the Spirit back to life and empower the heroes - that must have been the way it was.
Yes, the monsters in the cave, including the boss, must have used a technique that makes them poisonous. I don't know if it's with the game at all, but if it's poisoned, it's a mess. I thought so and made a modest suggestion.
"Well, be careful. The cave will be dirty, so why don't you take some poison or something?
Yeah, I will. Laura, be careful. "
Relax your childhood acquaintance by nodding honestly. Just a little help.
--And after a while, another face appeared on the water. Black-haired, black-eyed young man. Elvira, sitting next to the young man, called reflectively.
"Ah! Oniichan!
Arnold was relieved to see that Elvira was safe, or he loosened his eyes slightly. And then he asks.
"Elle, do you have any inconveniences?
"Yeah! Mel and Laura will be there. Oniichan, are you okay?
"Ahh... don't bother me, Ampere"
Shake your neck in a twinkling gaze.
"Never mind. Thanks to you, Arnold and the others can stay focused on their journey."
Oh, Arnold nodded. The expression was somewhat softer than Arnold's familiar expression.
I was relieved to see my face. And Lukash and the others will be relieved. It was right to go to the village of the people of Rustu to have such means of communication.
--when I was debriefing with Le Cash, Arnold, and Diona. A girl with brown hair peered at her face from Diona's back as if she had heard the voice of a woman from a distance. Ah, I thought for a moment, the girl was caught in the hands of a man with a hard neck. However, the girl hugged Diona and raised her voice against the man.
Laura, long time no see!
--You can't be mistaken for waving your hands at me, Treasure Hunter Malta, who helped me in Flaria. And the man holding her neck,
"Hey, Malta! Don't stick your neck in our reunion!
The eldest leader of the Knights of Chevalier and leader of the brave journey, Veik. The appearance of the two made the scene noisy at once.
Malta stares at us with a cheek and a close face.
"Laura, you're a brave kid!? I'm surprised!
"Ahahah. Marta-san, you made it."
"It's good," he laughed, "because he's an amazing treasure hunter." It was Arnold who sighed openly at her words.
"I pushed through the monster's nest and helped him get attacked."
I almost burned my balls too.
"Thank you for saving my life."
Mmm! What the hell, Buaiseau!
I find it strange that the light conversation between Malta and Arnold is taking place - it seems like Arnold is traveling with Malta, the official party member of Last Brave - and smiling. It would be better if the party members had a mood maker like Malta.
Behind Malta, who told Gaga and Arnold something, Wake smiled bitterly.
Miss, it's so noisy and bad
"No, it sounds fun, above all."
If anything happens, you can count on Oliver or the Knights. I told you to help me. "
"Sorry, thank you."
Once again, I feel that I am blessed by the people around me. Everyone will be busy, so they can help us. Thank you.
I wish I could at least do something to thank you, but it's harder than being in this village, which has been completely cut off.
"Ah, yes. Why don't you send me the healing pills that Laura and the others made?
Heh?
Gina, who had been watching our conversation in silence, suddenly said something she didn't understand.
How do you expect me to send you the healing pills we made? Will they be carried in a carriage? But it also increases the likelihood of being found by monsters, and when she tilted her neck, Gina pressed the container of the healing medicine against the surface of the water to see where it came from. And then...
"Here, like this...."
and sink the container onto the surface of the water. Because the bottom of the vessel is shallow, I think it will hit the bottom of the vessel immediately. Even if it is immersed in water up to the mouth of the vessel, I can't hear the dull sound of the bottom hitting. And finally, I'm completely soaked in water.
That's funny. The container of the restorative medicine should have been taller than the depth of the vessel. But it didn't hit the bottom, and everything sank in the water. He stared at where the container had disappeared.
Wow, the healing medicine has arrived!
Lukash glanced at the surface of the water in surprise. Then, the healing medicine that had been held in Gina's hand before was now held in Lukash's hand.
The healing medicine moved through this vessel. I don't think it's an auto part to have a transfer function. - But I knew this sight.
(This is a cooking pot!)
Once the ingredients collected in the course of the journey are put into the pot, the ingredients arrive at the recipe Obaba, who lives on the outskirts of the home village, and after a certain amount of time, the recipe is sent to the hero - a convenient tool made by the production staff, the recipe pot itself, so that you don't have to bother going back to the village of Eme in the "Last Brave". I didn't know there were such convenient tools in this world.
I don't know how it works, but if only someone could use the power of light, I could send the healing medicine I made to the Lukash. Even if you hide here, it helps.
I slowly opened my mouth with restraint.
"Tell me if you have any healing medicine that you want me to make. I have plenty of time to help."
"Thank you, Laura."
Lukash smiled and nodded with joy.
The memories of my predecessors may be useful in the fight against monsters. Instead of this pot, we can use the vessel to deliver the healing medicine to Lukash and the others. It was a great pleasure for me.
