Having applied for Oak Road expulsion at the Guild of the Brave, I went to Fable Village with that leg when I had lunch in the city's Mass Dining Room with my three godchildren.
Fable Village is the nearest village in the cave where Oak Road is seen lurking.
When I got to the village, I headed to the village chief's house first.
The villagers guide you to the biggest wooden dwelling in the village.
When I knocked on the door of the house and told him that I was from the city as a demon king hunter, he was passed to the reception room in the back.
There were two of us in the reception room.
He was an old man, supposedly the village chief, and another, a man with a sword on his waist.
The man with the sword was hanging with his left arm wrapped in a bandage.
Looks like he's hurt.
"Whoa, you guys come as demon hunters...... those are the people, right...?
The village chief and the old man raised their voices to welcome us at first, but the second half turned into a question mark.
Well, our appearance, just our appearance, will only look like a good guy with three beautiful young girls, and I can't help it.
I don't give a shit, I think the village chief and I give a hand to the old man.
"I have received information from the Guild of Brave Men of the City of Lindbergh about the Demon King. Who do you think you are, Mayor?
"Oh, oh, really? I'm sorry for your rudeness. Indeed, I am the village chief of this village. And this is Thomas, the brave guardian of my village."
"It's Thomas. Greetings."
The bandaged man - Thomas - has offered the right hand of the unbandaged one.
By the way, what the village chief said about "protectors" were people who stayed in small settlements, such as villages, among the brave ones, and served as the daily defense for that settlement.
There are places where there are no protectors by the settlements, but only this protector can be immediately repelled if it is about the extent of raids by weak monsters, so there are never a few settlements that have protectors with salaries out of the autonomous dues collected from the villagers.
When I finish shaking hands with the village chief, the next time I shake hands with Thomas, too.
"It's Brett. Now, the Demon King Hunter isn't in business, but this is my status test for this year."
Concerned about the possibility of being anxious from the outside, I gave Thomas my brave card instead of introducing myself to show it.
The Brave Man Card is a card that represents the results of the Brave Man's Status Test, which takes place once a year.
Along with the identification photographs of the brave men taken with the magic guide photographer, the various statuses measured and the certified brave men level derived therefrom are noted.
And Thomas, who saw my brave card, opened his eyes like he was surprised.
"Become...!? How can such a high level be such a project..."
"No, I, as I said earlier, now the Demon King Hunter is not the main business. I was a teacher at the College of the Brave. So I wanted to give these guys some experience in action."
That's what I said, retreated sideways, showing the three godchildren I was holding back behind me.
With that in mind, Illis rushes to bow his head with a pepper, and Rio also meets lightly.
Seeing as Mayfa seemed even less interested, Iris forced me to bow my head.
Thomas, who saw it, also gave the look of surprise.
"Ho, are you serious......? This is so cute... I can't believe I put these young kids in action..."
"Yeah. But in the days before the College of the Brave, that's what we all did. A veteran brave man raises a still young brave man to accompany him in action to take care of him. Some skills training and sitting are not the only things you can acquire."
"Well...... right. Even if you are graduating from the College of the Brave, it is dangerous for a brave man who has not experienced a real battle..."
Thomas was just like a brave man working in the field and seemed to quickly understand the significance of my ways.
When this deals with the ones above the Brave Men's Association, it's as if they don't get through......
And I ask Thomas one more thing that I cared about.
"By the way, Mr. Thomas, if you'll excuse me, is that left arm still on Oak Road?
Thomas nodded with a strange face to that lame question of mine.
"Yes. I am ashamed to go on a crusade for the oak that the villagers saw, where I am this zama when I run into the demonized oak. In my power, it was the best I could do to get away with it."
"Can't you use healing magic"
"Yes, it would be convenient if I learned, but I don't have the right. Sooner or later, I'm going to go to the city and get some healing magic done, but if I leave this village now, I'm worried about the village."
I see.
Then it's just fine.
"So, Mr. Thomas, can I heal that injury, please?
"What...? Yes, of course..."
"All right, well, then..."
"Ha, ha!
When I called, Illis stretched his spine.
Yeah, I'm too nervous.
"You're right to ask. It's your turn."
"Oh, so, but..."
"It's okay, you've practiced it many times. And there's nothing bothering you about how you fell. Try it with confidence."
When I said that and put Iris' head on, Iris bated his eyes, turning bright red to his ears and puffy.
But eventually...
"Wow, I get it...... I'll try"
That's what I said, I settled in my eyes and walked up to Thomas.
"Um, Mr. Thomas, excuse me"
"Oh, oh."
Thomas was not worthy of his age and was lying back looking a little embarrassed.
Yeah, yeah, we'll see, Thomas.
There's no way I wouldn't be nervous as a man being stopped by a super beautiful girl like Illis.
But you can't.
If you look at my kid with a nasty eye, I'll use Mayfa's spear to punch both of those eyes out with a bunk poke.
Whatever the joke in your brain...
Iris takes a deep breath when he stands in front of Thomas.
And then he put his hands together to offer prayers.
The glow of magic begins to cover the whole body of Illis.
By the way, I don't need to pose like that when I use magic, but I guess that's Illis' scum or the way she creates her own magical image.
Illis is working desperately hard right now.
Seeing a goddaughter like that, I can't be there or not, and I send her a ale.
"Iris! You can do it, come on! Daddy's here for you!
"... brother, shut up.... then Illis can't concentrate."
Mayfa put a scratch in me.
Squishy.
Iris, on the other hand, was completing his magic while I was doing that.
"─ ─ [Healing Water (Heel Water)]!"
The lovable and Rin's voice echoes into the reception room.
At the same time...
─ ─ Pippin.
Glowing droplets fell from the air over Thomas' left arm.
As that droplet falls on Thomas' left shoulder, the magical light of healing spreads across Thomas' left arm.
And...
Eventually Thomas gave him a surprise look, and even turned that left arm around.
"Whoa......! Wow, my arm's moving! And it's taking the pain! -Thanks, little brave man!
"Ha, ha. I'm glad it's healed."
"I need to thank you for something......! ─ Yeah, I know, I know it might be rude, but can I get a regular treatment reward?
"Oh, what...?
Ilis was given a piece of gold by Thomas.
Troubled Illis will look at me more with the eye for what to do, so I will nod to the girl.
"Fine, take it. A just reward for the work of Illis."
"Uh... yes, I get it. If that's what the teacher says..."
Ilis stared at the gold coin he held with both hands, clutching it softly and holding it in front of his chest.
And...
"Eh heh."
Ilis laughed with great pleasure.
That was the first money that Illis made on his own.
