It's all one flower.
2209. First day of class resumption
Exterminator, thank you very much.
"Oh, oh, please."
Being pushed back by his mother, the elementary school boy walked out the front door with an impatient look.
"You can meet your friends after a long time, and you can eat lunch, so please do it properly"
"Um... yeah"
The mother slammed the back of her frightened and trembling son and pushed him in front of Klausstra.
Today, Roark and Klaus Tora are in Salix, in the north-eastern part of the Arterial Republic, wearing work clothes and working as "beast exterminators on Lanterna Island." This is the job I got when I introduced my fellow Salix resident, Animositas.
There are many detached houses in the neighborhood that have animositas houses that have relatively plenty of room to live. The inhabitants, including her, were temporarily evacuated to hotels and other places due to the emergence of large numbers of earthen fish.
The town council obtained cement and mortar at an early stage, filled the garden soil and the roots of the street trees, and completed the countermeasures against soilfish. Now, all the households have returned to their homes.
Most households in this city own their own vehicles, but in addition to the shortage and soaring of fuel such as gasoline, many households have been rendered unusable due to damage caused by tyres rolled by earthfish. The massive appearance of the beast has delayed transportation, and all kinds of things are scarce, making it difficult to repair and acquire new ones even with money.
Few households could use a private car to transport their children.
This neighborhood was made safer by measures to combat earthen fish, but this was not the case around elementary and junior high schools.
“Good morning, I'm a freelance journalist from the Barbatum Federation. I'm going to interview this vendor today, but is it okay if I have time right now?"
Quaesitl showed a bullshit press card from his neck and heard it in the common language.
The mother toughened her face, but answered in fluent common language.
“I'm fine, but it's not good to be late.”
“There is only one question. Is there anything you're worried about as classes will resume at school for a long time from today?"
“I'm worried. The exterminator will pick me up today, but I can't arrange for many days.”
The mother lowered her eyebrows and lowered her voice.
"Cheng Jing (I see). Now, can I continue on my way home?" The measures the government wants to take. "
I have dinner plans.
"If you want to tell the world something, you can write it on a piece of paper and give it to me. This is a question.”
The reporter gave A4 copy paper out of the bag.
"If you don't want to answer, you can return it without writing anything."
“Is it written in a common language?”
If possible, but you can translate it for me, so you can use Hunanese as well.
I see.
"I will collect it today when the child returns, so I'm sorry for the busy schedule, but thank you very much."
The mother gave a stern smile on her tired face.
I heard that the boy is in fifth grade. Apparently, she still doesn't understand the common language, and watches anxiously the interaction between her mother and the reporter.
"This man, Barbatum, is a reporter. Thank you for the survey."
"Questionnaire?"
When Roark gave a concise lesson in Hunan, the boy heard it with a pleasant look on his face.
“For what?”.
I hear you're having trouble.
Hmmm.
The boy said that he was not interested and compared the work clothes of Rourke and Klaus Stra.
Rourke's work clothes are plain without spells or marks, but Klaus Tora's work clothes are embroidered with various defensive magic, and those who have no knowledge of sorcery will strangely see the work clothes decorated with dresses.
Roark pulls the rope out of the backpack and says with the end in a bracelet.
From now on, I'm going to hang magic on this rope and put no earthfish or anything in the circle.
"Mm, maho...?"
The boy looks up at his mother with terrified eyes.
"Just keep your exterminator's orders until you get to the classroom."
Um, yeah.
The boy nodded and looked at Roark again, his eyes puzzled.
Rourke drew a [Simple Barrier] spell from his West Pouch. Whilst peeling the release paper of double-sided tape on the back, use common language.
"Mr. Reporter, can you go inside the circle and hold the rope at waist height?"
Roger
The reporter salutes with a serious face and follows the instructions.
Roark also entered the circle, supported the rope with his left hand, and struck the spell with his right hand.
"This circle of heaven becomes a six-star circle."
Inner circle of the star fence (Kaki)
Everyone who is not called inside the fence should leave.
Ten Million Dollars of Insect Removal and Chaotic Demon Retreat
Uchimasa, I want to be hei, I want to be idle. "
The rope was surrounded by the magic power of the talisman, and the inside of the circle glowed brightly in the eyes with spiritual vision. Roark crimped the spell and rope with his palms and called out to the boy.
"You go inside the rope, like a reporter."
"... are you going in here? Even though it's glowing?"
"The light is the magic of protection, so don't leave the circle until you enter the school building"
Um, yeah.
The boy put his trembling foot forward and entered from under the rope.
"Today's class starts an hour later than usual, we have lunch and a home room, and we are leaving school at 13: 30. Please be sure to protect my child on the way back. Please, please."
“Yes, that's what Animositas asked me.”
Sandwiches, exterminator's lunch please.
I was given a small cooling bag. Klaus Torah picks it up and pushes it into Roark's backpack.
Thank you. I'll subtract it from the escort fee.
Huh? Are you sure?
"Things are better than money."
Klaus Tiger smiled, surprised by the customers who didn't seem to think so.
Rourke was asked by the reporter Quaesitre to translate almost literally simultaneously.
When the adult story came to an end, the boy pulled out Roark's sleeve.
"Hey, won't you let me in?"
"She won't come in."
"Huh? Why? It's dangerous?"
If a demonic beast emerges, I'll fight it.
Huh? Aren't you going to fight, onii-san?
When Roark answered, the boy looked suspiciously at the two exterminators.
"I'm a spell user, and today I'm the one who protects everyone." She's a magical warrior. "
Does the exterminator know about Kacta Care?
"Yeah, I just read it a little bit. Before the war, fans used to come to the island."
"I, too, let oniichan read it a little bit..."
Exterminator, on the way, thank you very much.
"Yes, I think I'll be back after 14: 30, so please prepare the reward."
The mother interrupted the conversation and the four left for elementary school.
Is oniisan a junior high school student?
“A college student, I went to a college in Barbados right after the war started.”
When Klaus and Stra heard it, the boy said lonely.
Rourke translates the two unloved stories into a common language, and reporters from Quaesitre talk to each other.
The same exchange was repeated at the client's house five houses away, and the twin girls were added to the circle.
Our client, two grandmothers, gave Rourke and Klaus Stra a bottle of vegetable juice in a plastic bottle.
In elementary school, only fifth and sixth grade students attend school on an experimental basis today, and see the situation for a week.
If we can confirm the safety of the school road, we plan to increase the number of school years from top to bottom every week. Even if things go smoothly, it is not until October that the first year of elementary school will go to school.
I put in a boy's classmate in a house three houses away from the twin house.
I'm sorry about the biscuits, but please take the place of lunch.
I got my first sandwich at my house, so I'm fine.
"Ehh... but if you want, you can have a snack"
The client's father smiled weakly as Klaus took it as a thank-you.
From the three houses along the road two streets east of this house, one boy from the sixth grade was taken into custody, and a total of ten students were aiming for elementary school.
