Isekai Tensei no Boukensha
Chapter 2-2 First Job
Today's wake was refreshing. You had a good time sleeping a little early, and I feel good about my body. Quickly put the luggage that was slightly left behind in the bag.
Head down the stairs to the garden and take the Shilowmals outside. Always feed the road and wash your face with water from the well. Then when I headed to the dining room, it was busy with other guests.
"Good morning, Mr. Okami. What's for breakfast this morning?
"Good morning, Tenma, you can choose bread or porridge today. Which way?
I've heard that. I am glad that rice (but indica rice) is also grown in this area and can be eaten normally.
"Porridge, please"
"Yes, dating is fish dry. Just give me a minute."
And your father went to the kitchen. In the meantime, I removed my homemade plum dressing from my magic bag. I found a plant that looked a lot like plums before I came to this city, so I made it out of that fruit. Say the name of the plant is' Komai '. As with the plums, the blue inner is really poisonous.
"Please wait. Oh, you're eating this again." Salted Komai. "You always eat it when you're in porridge."
And he talks to me as he puts the porridge in front of me.
"Yeah, I like it, and it's good for you."
I replied, but I'm not good at it, he said. This plum potato was not popular here.
"Speaking of which, Tenma will be out of this city a few days from today, on request."
"Yes, I'm going to get rid of the dashboards"
"Good luck with that. But you're not going to get hurt because you're impotent!
and received words of encouragement. I've hunted many times, but it's my first hunt professionally. Let's not just get bored.
Exit the full pavilion and head to the gate. The stall was out on the way, so I bought some snacks, snacks, etc. and ended up in a magic bag, and when I looked at it, Shiloumaru was dripping yodale next door. Apparently he's responding to the smell of skewering drifting right ahead.
Shiloumal staring at me with his crushed eyes. It would be perfect if I hadn't even dripped yodale...
We have no choice but to buy three skewers and eat them on the spot. We give one to Slalin and I hold the skewers in both hands. One sticks and chews as it is. The other one takes the coarse heat as it rocks into small pieces. Slalin takes his tentacles out of his body and holds a skewer, digesting them as he inserts a little meat into his body, an interesting way to eat whenever he sees them.
Shiloumal, on the other hand, is chasing swinging meat with his eyes and his head is moving up and down.
"Yeah, it's a little stiff, but it's chewy and pretty good"
Shiloumal is waiting for the meat to cool as he rocks his head up and down.
"Mogumo, Mogumo"
Shiloumal awaits shaking his head as he moisturizes his eyes.
"Momogu, ok. Ahhh."
"Cu ~ n"
When I opened my mouth to have another bite, Shiloumal sounded sad. Sorry, forgive me, Shiloumal, on purpose.
The reaction of Shiloumal was interesting, so I became mean. I offer Shiloumal an apology skewer in my heart.
Shiloumal can vertically (...) skewer all (...) parts (...) with a joyous look. I gently pull out the skewer and the meat stays all over my mouth, and the siroumal swallows it with a few chews. And 'one more bottle', and it comes.
I bought a few skewers instead of an earlier apology and split them between Shiloumal and Slalin. As always, Shiloumal had swallowed it with a few chews.
Lily and the others show up almost simultaneously when Tenma arrives at the gate. When I wave and call, the three come running over like puppies (even though they're cats).
"Morning, Tenma. Did I make you wait?
"Sorry, Tenma."
"I'm a little sleepy, I'm sorry"
"Morning, Lily, Nelly, Milly. I just got here, too. It's just the right time."
and greet the three of them.
"" "Good." Actually, last night, the other two fell asleep late!
All three of them come up with the same excuse as they hammer.
"Nellie and Millie were the ones who were haunted!
"No, it's Lily and Milly!
"Yeah - it's Lily and Nelly!
All three of them say that the other two were haunted. I sighed,
"It was the three of us who slept together in the morning."
"" "Sorry" "
All three of them immediately apologized when I pointed it out.
"Anyway, we're all set, so let's go"
"Well, if you leave now, you'll be in the requested village by evening."
"I like that. We need to get there as soon as possible and gather information!
"Come on, let's go!
and go to the gatekeeper and say hello. Cats and daughters trying to get to the path leading to the village after a light talk with the gatekeeper,
"Oh, come on, I'll give you something good right now."
And then I took the big box-shaped thing out of the magic bag and onto the edge of the road.
"Carriage?"
"What do horses do, Tenma?
"Is Shiloumal pulling away?
and all three of them on their heads? Mark is floating. Signs of surprise come from the dimension bag.
"No, let him pull it off"
So I said, go on out of the bag, give me a big black metal chunk, and I put my hand on the chunk and let the magic flow and say something...
"Get up."
A number of red and black lines of light run on the chunk in those words. And the thing that was a chunk stood up with four legs.
It's like a horse about 2m tall and 3m long.
"Wow! I'm surprised!
"You're letting this pull you off?
"Come on, man."
"No, I haven't finished the last one yet. Slalin, go!
When I give the order, Slalin climbs to the back of the horse. And when I opened the hatch on my neck, I dived sully into it, and when Slalin closed the hatch, two bright red lights shined in the horse's eyes.
I walked out like a real horse when the light lit in my eyes. I'll connect the horse to the carriage.
The three daughters were surprised by the horse, even more surprised by the fact that Slalin had entered, but then,
"Wow, it moved!
"Awesome, like a real horse"
"Hey, Tenma, what happened to Slalin?
And it was so hazy. A woman often said that it would be fornicating if the three of them got together.
"This is the tanicase of a pseudo-life-form horse-type golem, Slalin, that can be activated by aiding magic control inside!
explained. This tanicase uses a demonic nucleus, which can also be described as an artificial demon. The goal is to start alone in the future without slurrin.
The demon nucleus used belonged to the dragon zombie I defeated before, something Slalin had been securely recovering.
The Devil's Nucleus was the only thing of the former ancient dragon, about a meter in diameter, but luckily it contained countless cracks, two things about a third in size and one thing slightly smaller than that, and a few small things broken into dozens.
It is the nucleus of Tanicase that was completed using the third size of it, and about a third of the small. The outer shell is made of high purity steel with magic, "Demon Iron" in large quantities.
By the way, the outer shell can be replaced, and I'm thinking of making any of them out of fantasy materials such as misrills and orihalcons.
"What am I supposed to call it if it's got Slalin in it?
"Tanillin, or slakaze?
"Which one?"
"It's tanicase. The name of the nucleus of the pseudoplasm is Tanicase, and the body belongs to Tanicase, and Slalin is just helping Tanicase's body circulate magic."
I seem to have decided to think that the three of them who put their necks around the explanation of Tenma, among them, stopped thinking about what Tanicase is.
"So you're taking this carriage to the village?
"It's gonna be a lot faster than planned."
You're lucky.
and the three of us getting in the carriage. I got into your seat, gave Tanicase instructions, and started moving the carriage forward.
Nothing passes on the road to the village. The three of them were all startled at first by the suspension mounted on the carriage and by tricks such as the front wheel moving in tandem with the horse's movements, but after having lunch they were shaggy tired or asleep.
"Oh, we can all see the village. Wake up now."
and I spoke behind me, I can hear you moving gossip about whether you reacted to that voice. And right in front of the village,
"" "Offayo ~" ""
The three voiced as they yawned at the same time.
The time now would be about three o'clock. It would have taken me about three hours and a little while since I left, and it seemed like a good time for me to come a little slow. I stopped Tanicase at the entrance to the village and went down with the three of them.
"Let's go to our client's village chief."
I say and release the towel wet with water towards the three of us.
"Wipe my face with that first"
So I put my tanicase and carriage in a magic bag. Slalin was out at the same time I got out of the carriage and dived into the dimension bag. It seemed like he was sleeping inside because he told Shiloumal not to be alarmed by the dashboards and not to go out of the bag.
I went into the village and asked the first villagers I met where the village chief's house was before heading. They say it's about five minutes from here.
As I walked in thanking the villagers I saw a better house than the one around me.
"Sounds like here, only this house is made differently. Because you're the village chief?
"Maybe. But it's a strange village, the atmosphere is dark or creepy."
"Oh, I know what it is!
"It seemed like the people just now were deserving of us."
Nelly and Millie agree with what Lily said after she replied to me.
"Anyway, let's talk to the village chief"
That said, I knocked on the door of the house.
"Yes, yes, who is it?"
and it was the little fat man who came out with the door open.
"I'm from the Adventurer Guild in Gunjo City. I came here on a request. Is it Mr. Village Chief?
And I answered on behalf of the four of them. The man looked at me and the three of them behind me,
"Really? Thank you. Please come in. I'll tell you more."
and welcomed us in. They sent me to the living room and suggested a chair, and when I sat down, a woman with a scarf wrapped around her neck brought tea and left it in front of us. A man opened his mouth when he saw a woman leave the room.
"Thank you for taking on the request. I am the village chief of this village. My name is Banza. There are only about a hundred people in this village."
The village chief, who named himself Banza, will give details of the request. In summary,
Beginning a week ago, at night, dashboards appear in a herd of five to six to eat pre-harvest crops. I made a request because I tried to exorcise the men in the village, but I couldn't.
That is. Apparently, the damaged field is a short walk from the village. We decided to ask the village chief to guide us.
When I got out of the house, I felt the shadows of the building and the gaze from inside the house. At first I thought it was because adventurers were rare, but I immediately felt it was a sight full of malice. Especially when my eyes were gathered on the three people behind me.
As a precaution, I discovered that nearly half of the villages were hidden near here.
The three of them seemed restless because they felt their gaze, though they didn't seem to have even felt the malice contained in their gaze.
I arrived in the field less than ten minutes after I left the village.
"This is the damaged field. We still have pre-harvest vegetables, etc., so we don't expect to show up around today."
"I'll do a little research."
"Please. I still have work to do, so I'd like to go back to my house, okay?
"Yes, I'm fine. We'll stay on the lookout, so we'll reveal the night here and we'll report it to your house in the morning."
"Okay. Best regards,"
and was convinced of the results by appraising Banza walking toward the village.
"Hey Tenma, shouldn't you have been ready once you got back to the village?
Against Lily asking me, I glanced at the field,
"This request feels rather suspicious. It's easier to deal with being here than going back to the village."
I ran out of words. The three tried to raise their voices in surprise at that, but gestured to be quiet.
"What do you mean, Tenma?"
"Is suspicious also a basis for this?
"It's a village that feels weird, but it's bad to doubt it for no reason, Tenma"
and the three of them listen with a low voice. Meanwhile, I'll tell you what I've been worried about since earlier.
That even though I only saw three people in the village, I felt a number of gazes where I left Banza's house, and from that gaze I felt malice.
that the fields are less damaged even though the dashboards have been out for a week.
And I pointed to Boer's footprint, which was nearby.
"If you look closely at these multiple footprints, they are all the same size, same to depth (...)"
"Oh, really."
"But wouldn't it be strange if the footprints on this place were from the same bore?
"Yes, I think too much, Tenma."
And the three of them say, "I pointed to two footprints that were nearby,
"But it's too weird that the two footprints here are at the same depth"
and pointed to the footprint above the acre "Ugh". The three of them looked at the footprints strangely, but, uh, Lily voiced.
"Surely this is weird. This isn't normal."
But I'll explain it to Nelly and Millie, who still don't know what it looks like.
"Acres are raising soil to plant crops. That's why it's softer than the normal ground (...), so it's deeper than the rest of the flat ground, and that should be enough to fill the footprint."
Yet this footprint is only as deep as anywhere else. Looking for it, similar footprints were found to be gobbly.
Nelly and Millie were also convinced of this and twisted their necks.
Exploring the surroundings, there were five people lurking in multiple places you can't see from here, I guess it's a lookout. It seems like they take turns from time to time.
Even more extreme is the status of the Vanza appraisal earlier.
Name... Banza
Age… 46
Race... People
Title... Bandit's Leader
HP… 8000
MP… 1100
Muscle Strength… B-
Defense… C +
Fast... c-
Magic... D-
Mental Strength… D
Growth power… D-
Luck… C
Skills... Axe 6, Martial Arts 6, Night 6, Sword 5, Trap 5, Throw 4, Abnormal Effect Resistance 4, Cover-up 3, Sensory Enhancement 2
It was. It has a bandit leader in its title. It's totally out. But I couldn't tell the three of them about the appraisal itself, so I decided to convince them with some of the things I felt and what I found in this field.
By the way, I immediately noticed about the footprints in this field because I was wary of the atmosphere in this village and the gaze of malice, so I doubted it all and watched.
"Then run away now?
"Maybe that's a good idea."
"Let's go back to the guild and tell them why, hey, Tenma?
I'm saying,
"I disagree."
And I disagreed exactly.
"Why Tenma!
"How come, Tenma!
"It's not safe here, Tenma!
I told the three of them to tell me to be quiet.
"Look, even if we go back to the guild and we sue, we have no proof. You put it in this footprint, and if it's erased, that's it. If it didn't have to be erased, it would have been judged a hoax if it was just a footprint. Then the worst, the cowards who tried to hide the failure of the request, would suffer the stigma."
"So what am I supposed to do?
Three people blue-faced by my words.
"So what am I supposed to do?
Lily comes to visit on behalf of the three of us.
"It's easy. It's just a matter of payback."
And I say it all. The three of them were blind to the words, but I go on and talk about the operation.
"First we keep watch as if we don't suspect anything… make it look like it. You should also split them in about two places in order to disperse them. But it was the golem that made us simulate that actually stood watch. In the meantime, we'll be waiting in a convoy with ties. I will order the golems to fall if they receive anything that sounds like an attack. If you fall, someone will probably go check it out, so move it to the opponent's powerlessness"
"How does it feel to move?
"We've got about a hundred opponents, right?
"They're totally different numbers, aren't they?
"Then I'll be fine. The pseudo golems will disable their nearby enemies to such an extent that they will not die, so the three of them will go one place at a time together to secure them. At the same time, I take five medium-sized golems each into three escorts. And let Shiloumal go for the powerlessness of those fleeing or hiding, and I'll go get Banza myself. You can let the miscellaneous fishes get away with it, so give priority to protecting yourself. Then let's get ready."
and gave instructions to the three of them.
