Kujonin

As always, Bow was as muddy as he met.

I am trying to make a large charcoal kiln on the slope of the forest near the castle.

"Is it possible to make a charcoal kiln?"

"Fuha. If you don't make it, it will freeze and die in winter. I'll make it."

I explained to Bow about the current state of the village in the north and the magic pool in the hole.

"Because I didn't build Jijii's grave properly, it was troublesome. Fuha, I'm sorry."

"No, it's not Bow. So, if you don't stop at the village well, you might come back with a mother like Affine.

"I'm threatening me. Okay, I'll go. Fuha."

I cleaned the bow and cleared the mud.

"Fuha, how far are you going to get out of the village?"

"No, that's fine. For now, I'm going to stop using the wells and use the forest brooks."

"I see. Fuha."

Me and Bow ran to the village along the highway.

The village is deserted, probably because of the wind, and you can see ruined houses. Grass and ivy stretched through the gaps in the collapsed wall, and many small lizard and moth monsters stuck to the wall. Almost all buildings have bird monsters on the roof, and bird feces are polluting the roof and walls. Isn't the awareness of hygiene management at all, or isn't cleaning up catching up? The fee horse in the stables looks poor.

We headed towards the entrance north of the village. The sign says "New Marsh", but the paint has peeled off.

"Don't burn or smell bad.

As soon as Bow entered the village, he held his nose.

Looking at the whole village with detection skills, not only bird monsters but also mammoths, Mamascal and Bagroach, are outbreaking. There seem to be many mites of ticks and mosquitoes, and the smell that Bow sniffed seemed to be insect repellent smoke.

From the entrance to the center of the village, there is a plaza where a large amount of monster skulls are stacked.

"Fuha, what are you doing for that?"

"It's a hunting trophy. It's just the skull of the hunted monster, but it's not a bagroach nest."

There was a well in the center of the square. Perhaps because of the poor drainage of the surroundings, there is a puddle, and the monster of Bow Hula wriggles with Uneune.

"There are many mosquito demons. Huha."

"The ecosystem that was in the swamp has collapsed, and only fertile demons may survive in the village."

"Fuha, worse than a castle"

I drew the water from the well on the wall of magic and drowned it on the witchcraft. It was confirmed that the reaction was almost the same as the water in the underground lake in the hole.

"Now, Bow, bite me."

"Fuha, OK"

The moment the bow inhales and tries to scream, a woman with a censer hanging out from a nearby inn-like building comes out with a mask. The smoke coming out of the incense burner would be insect repellent.

The woman and Bow met and hardened.

"Hello ~"

For now, I'll say hello.

"This, Hello ......"

The woman greeted, but retreated and entered the building. At the next moment, a scream “Carn!” Was heard from the inn.

"I missed the timing, Fuha!"

"Let's cover the well for now."

I plugged the well with a board and filled the gap with the mucus of the cave slime.

"Fuha! Naoki! I'll shoot with the 'rapid wand'!"

Bow shouted, watching around.

From the buildings on the four sides of the square, the “rapid wand” was pointed at and fired a fireball without warning.

I covered the fireball in the air with a wall of magic, bleed the air, put out the fire, and dropped it on the ground.

"Fuha, I'm sorry. I forgot to wear a hat."

"I don't have this much. I'm worried. It seems like I'm still shooting."

High-speed fireballs flew from all sides. You can avoid it because you can see it, and it should be hardly damaged when hit. Bow was knocking down with magical powers before thinking about what to do.

"Fuha, I don't know."

Bow spread his arms and said, while the smoke was dancing. One is a magical hand that is transparent.

Smoke was blown away by the wind, and we heard that we weren't working with the "rapid wand", or we heard swaying voices like "Wow" or "What ...?" .

"Okay, now!"

I plug my ears and signal Bow. When he inhales heavily,

Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! ! ! ! !

Screamed.

I feel tingling and vibrating when nearby.

The monster of a small insect in the village becomes stunned, and the monster of the bird falls while taking off. Fee horses in the stables pierced the fence, rampage, and ran to the square.

When Bowe held his hand, Fiehorse grew innocent.

"What did you do?"

"No, somehow ... if I thought I would grow up. Fuha."

Somehow Bow's talent may have blossomed.

For the time being, there is no response from the village side and I can't even hear my breath, so I'll call out here.

"Thank you very much! Is there a representative?"

I said in a loud voice, but there was no reaction.

Did you threaten too much?

"I came from the castle across the hole. I'm a cleaning and extermination agent ... Ehehe"

"A representative of the demons. Fuha."

This time, I went for a friendly laugh strategy. When I looked at the person looking through the inn's window, I fell back.

"Because Bow's face is scary."

"Fuha, that's because Naoki's eyes aren't laughing."

"Because it's troublesome, do you break the door and start dragging?"

"If you're a bad guy, that's fine too.

A middle-aged man, like a cowboy wearing a tengallon hat, came out of the inn with his “rapid wand” pointing at him.

"Oh, are you a representative?"

The middle-aged cowboy nodded. She's trembling whether she's not enough nutrients or not enough alcohol.

"It's okay. The stick won't work, and if you listen to it, nothing will happen."

"Hohohohohohohoho, true, true, really?"

Cowboy's middle-aged feet are shaking and his voice is rising.

"Oh, calm down. Do you want to drink? If you should, please drink."

The middle-aged cowboy entered the inn in a hurry. Instead, somebody came out like a fat hostess with thick makeup.

"You guys come over and say what ?! That goblin must be properly trained!"

"Bow is my precious friend. I'm not a monster in use, but a demons. I'm bundling the demons of the castle across the hole, so to say rude tomorrow This village is gone. You need to be careful with your words. "

"Fuha!"

Bow smiled.

The mistress turned pale and suddenly dropped into the inn.

"Is there anyone who can talk?"

"No, no ... if I don't like it ..."

As she was pushed out of the inn, a woman first appeared with a censer. Looking at this, I am very scared.

"Okay. I'll do nothing, come here and listen."

The woman hid her chest while fixing her open clothes. Is my eyes so nasty?

"I'll ask. There's a message from Affine."

"Affine!? ... Do you really do anything?"

"I will not do it!"

Feehoe, who was nearby, had a rough nose, but Bow signaled him to go away by hand and returned to the stables.

"What is that skill?"

"I don't know.

"Hit!"

When Bow laughs, the woman is frightened.

"Smile is a bow habit. Don't worry."

"Wow, I understand."

The woman is finally approaching. Slender legs that extend from one piece. The makeup is dark, but it looks tired overall.

"I would like to ask you for confirmation, but do you think that the villagers here are related to the magic stone quarry?"

"Okay. Rather, I built a village for it. We were called for miners ... oh, whore."

"Why did you find that there was a magic stone here?"

that? I heard that she was a prostitute and was naturally honorific. Don't be despised.

"Have you heard that there is a demonic land here and the fire heroes have found a magic stone pit here?"

"Okay, I see. Well, where do we start to talk? ... Why don't you have to drink well water from this village?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Is anyone drinking this water sick? Or was the child born a monster?"

The woman peeled her eyes and set for a few seconds.

"You know it, maybe even Affine's children !?"

"That's right. Well water here is water that contains a lot of magical power. If you drink too much, it will affect the human body."

"So, what should I do?"

"Because a stream runs through the forest in the east, the water there seems to be OK, so please use that water."

"But there are demons in the forest ..."

"About the monsters in the forest, can the uncle just come out manage me?"

"He just has a 'rapid wand' and will not use magic stones if he is not in danger."

"Fuha, Kuzu"

Bow laughed unintentionally. The woman was accustomed to the bow's smile, or "I'll laugh." He doesn't seem afraid of the Demon Bow. Maybe you've seen demons manipulating human languages in the past.

"We must hunt monsters anyway, so we will hunt monsters mainly in the eastern forest."

"It would be helpful if you did so ... do you live with the demons in the castle?"

"It's not a demon, it's a demonic. You can communicate properly, and some of the children you left in the forest live in the castle. As a demonic."

"Demon ... Is there no danger?"

"Affine took care of the children this morning, so if she had a mother who left her child in the forest and regrets, it would be a message from Affine to live in the castle with him. Well, I can't live unless the demons accept it ... "

"The demons ... we really can't eat?"

"Fuha, I don't. I eat field boa or forest deer if you eat human meat."

Bow said disgusted.

"Yes ... I understand. I'll ask everyone."

It was good to have an understanding person.

"Oh, and then. Well, that's a dirty village before the well water."

I pointed to the bird's demon dung. The woman nodded several times.

"What do you do with food? Ma's mascare seems to be a breed of rat monsters and bag roaches, and in those places you'll get sick even if it's not the effect of magic."

I worry about too much.

"For now, I'm burning the latest demon repellent incense."

"I'm a cleaning and extermination company, so I'll give you flour and food without money."

"A cleaning and extermination company? Is there such an occupation?"

"Yes, that's why I'm. When I see these things, I'm getting sick. I'm going to get rid of Mamascal and Bagroach and clean them up."

"Hey, I'll ask that too."

The woman has a bitter face. I don't want to live in a dirty village.

"I don't seem to be making fields, but is the food OK? Huha"

Bow appears to be worried that no fields can be found in the village.

"I'm not in trouble with food because the fireland peddlers come regularly. I can't get any magic stones, but only once every two weeks."

"What do you pay in the village to buy food?"

"It's money. Our store is also a merchant guild and we're dispatched here. At this point, only the adventurers who are looking for new mining places are coming, It seems they're talking about building a fort in this village to stop the demon invasion. ''

Is that true? I guess it's unavoidable to build a fort in a small village where you can no longer collect magic stones. The self-proclaimed and demon kings have also escaped, and the strong demons are caught, right? Does the country of fire think so much about the demons and demons of the kingdoms?

"Hmm"

I said for the time being.

"So, can you tell everyone about the well, the cleaning and eradication, and Affine's message?"

"I understand. Surprisingly, you guys are good. I was scared at first."

In the end, he seems to have been despised.

"Look like this, we're so strong."

Bow and me crossed their arms and looked harsh.

"Huff, I like strong men, me."

"Is that so?"

Unexpectedly, my nose stretches. The pace has been disturbed.

Villagers are watching this from the windows of the inn and the building.

"I'll come back tomorrow for a reply."

"Yes"

We have finally left the village.
