"... I see it"

I could see the village of Syrus right in front of me.

Finally. The Evil God is right there.

I looked back at the three of them behind me and spoke up.

"Maybe it will soon be a battle with the evil gods.... Ready?

The three of them nodded cocklessly in my words, indicating their willingness to affirm.

"I don't know what evil gods are like, but let's take them down and go home properly!

"Right. I'm sure we can do it."

"Wow, I can't really fight... but I'll do my best!

The three of us seem to be ready already, so I decided I had no problem and turned my gaze forward.

"... All right. All right, let's go!

We finally arrived inside the village, as we moved forward with a tight mind so that we could fight whenever we wanted.

Though I looked around carefully, there was no change in the village, and the idyllic and always street village was spreading.

"... sounds like you haven't really got your hands on the villagers..."

That's a pleasure, but then where the hell is the evil god?

The villagers don't seem to know anything, and what to do...

Troubled, Luli called out.

"Hey Al. Evil gods don't show up yet, and I guess we should keep the villagers away from here while we can?

"... right. I'm going to go to the village chief for a moment and explain. It would be better this way than telling everyone in the village."

"Okay. We'll keep an eye out for anything that happens."

"I asked. By the way, the village chief's house is over there, so if anything happens, come over there right away and let me know."

"Yeah. Okay."

I entrusted Luli and the others to come to the village chief.

"... I see."

I told the village chief as succinctly as I could, and the village chief opened his mouth with his face open.

"I mean, right now there is an evil god sitting in this village, and you were called in such a way that you were half blackmailed by that evil god... Is that good enough for you?

I snort at the words of the village chief.

"And if we were to fight evil gods in this village, it would be dangerous for the villagers too, so I want you to manage to keep the villagers away from this village... isn't that what this is all about?

"Oh. That fits"

The village chief sighed in my response.

That would surprise you if you suddenly said this, and you wouldn't believe it in the first place. And I thought...

"Ha... We're in trouble again."

"... you believe me?

"I can't believe you're lying like this.... but if you want to keep all the villagers away from here, it may be difficult inside."

"Difficult? Why not?

"No matter what you say about evacuating me because all of a sudden the evil gods are in the village, there aren't many people who believe me. Even if I were there, I'd be confused."

"... you mean we need to keep the villagers away from here for another reason somehow...?

"That's not what this is about."

That's definitely hard......

"And there's one thing I'd like to ask you from Washi, how come the evil gods don't show up when you get to the village in the first place? It's not like you didn't know you were in the village."

"That makes me wonder, too. I thought as soon as I got to the village, there'd be evil gods."

But nothing actually happened, and nothing particularly unusual happened.

"... for now, let's evacuate with a body of dangerous demons that aren't supposed to be here. You guys got a request from the guild, and I want you to talk to me because you're here for that crusade."

"Okay."

"Okay. Then I'll tell the villagers quickly. You should go back to your people, too."

With that said, the village chief went outside.
