Monster no Goshujin-sama

Eight.

"In this one case, thank you so much for your help"

After dinner, I was retained at the village chief's house.

"Thanks to Lord Takahiro, the village has escaped difficulties"

Mr. Melvin, who sat opposite the table, said and bowed his head in alignment with Mr. Leah.

"No, even for me, I am well compensated"

"We also heard you spoke to Siran, who negotiated with the military, to take account of the village."

"When we're in trouble, we're with each other."

In this world, we may ask other, intimate countries and aristocrats to accommodate our forces of war in order to deal with the damage of monsters.

The rewards involved in this crusade against the herd were also compliant.

The majority of them are out of the army and receive a considerable amount of money.

Instead, the stone, which would be the raw material for the dye that could be picked from the herd green rays, was later to be transported to the town by the village humans and was to be delivered by the army.

By selling it, the army was able to recover some of the money it paid me, and even for me, it was a dimension that I would spend more than a week on my way home on purpose, saving me the hassle of going to town to redeem it.

In addition, I had heard beforehand that the village was to bear some of the rewards, but there was no accumulation of money that I didn't have much opportunity to use, so I left this one to have food shared.

I'm going to be spending some time in the neighboring village, Silan's hometown, so to the extent that it's not a burden, hey, I'm telling you to get ready.

The massive amount of meat caught in the herd was made to be consumed in the village, so subtracting it from the reward should not have been too much of a burden.

"But Takahiro and Shiran are just fine"

Mr Leah said in a smug tone.

"The instructions of the Da 'i were also the ones that really went into the hall. I do not seem to be in the right position to take command in the future. I wandered around a long time, and I let the villagers float."

After I sigh, I smile.

"I don't have to do one damage, and I'm relieved. Thank you so much."

Mr. Leah, who said with a smile, glanced at Mr. Melvin there.

Nodding, Mr. Melvin opened his mouth.

"By the way, Takahiro"

"What is it"

Mr. Melvin cut me out wondering what it would be like to change.

"I heard that Takahiro wants to live in the village."

"... did Silan tell you?

It was a sudden topic, so I'm a little surprised.

I just didn't see why you...

Because I was talking to Silan about if I could talk to someone I could trust about this.

"So it's true."

"Yes."

I nodded, rather wondering about Mr. Melvin's attitude.

"Why don't you ask?"

"Siran tells me there's a terrible situation."

"... Was it"

You can talk to me as far as you think I need to at my discretion - and he told Silan.

He told Mr. and Mrs. Melvin until I had circumstances I couldn't reveal.

That's all we've talked about so far is a testament to the fact that Silan trusts them.

"That circumstance may be difficult for us to accept. And so Siran said."

In a harsh tone, Mr. Melvin continued.

"... Yes. Exactly."

I rang my throat unconsciously.

If you're rejected here, we're not talking about building trust.

Maybe I should have lay low because of it.

But I didn't dare tell Silan to lay low.

Instead, he even said if we could talk, we could talk.

Because I've been watching Mr. and Mrs. Melvin and the other elves over the past few days and it felt better to do so.

Nevertheless, I don't know if that was the right thing to do.

Fulfilling - Mr. Melvin exchanged glances with Mr. Leah, then said in a slow tone.

"If Takahiro really wants it, we are ready to accept you."

"Is it true"

The questioning voice became natural and loud.

The wind seemed suspicious, so I thought they might say no.

Mr. Melvin nodded deeply at me.

"In the first place, it was the royal family of Akel who invited Takahiro to Akel. We have always been protected by the royal family. If it is a great royal decision, we will not refuse to obey. Whatever the circumstances of Takahiro."

I'll say it with a grudge.

"In addition, we owe you to Takahiro. We're not ungrateful enough to look familiar without paying back what we've received."

That's it, Mr. Melvin turned an old scratch-running face on his cheek into a laugh.

"Besides... today's training, I also let you see. If it were known that I had rejected Takahiro, everyone in the village would be angry."

I bowed my head to Mr. Melvin, who joked.

"Thank you"

In a slight panic, Mr. Melvin lifted his hips.

"Please stop, Takahiro. Besides, thank you very much."

I raised my head, Mr. Melvin said.

"Siran said. Takahiro is greatly grateful. I need you to do me a favor."

"Silan...?

"Yeah. I haven't even heard the details, but I've heard that in the murderous incident that was Fort Chile, Lord Takahiro and his people helped Silan and Kay. Those kids are our family who split the blood. There's no way you can save your family's life without them."

There was a truth to the word.

Pure, courteous, and affectionate.

These are the elves who live in the pioneering village.

"I don't know where Lord Takahiro will be chosen as a place to calm his hips. But if you need it, come to this village. We will always welcome Takahiro."

"Good for you, sir"

Leaving the village chief's house, Lily leaned against me.

Attract my arms, with both arms.

The warmth of the girl's body and the softness were conveyed.

"It felt better than I thought when I talked to Mr. Melvin."

Lily grinned as she peered into my face from the bottom.

He smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.

"Right."

Under the moonlight, I nodded back, blinded by a glowing smile.

I guess it would only be if the captain asked for it, but still, I'm glad you allowed me to stay in pleasure.

Besides, it must have been huge that Silan talked to me well.

She herself, she seemed to have bothered to ask me, and I really couldn't get my head up.

"Thankful story. We have to thank Silan..."

So I figured.

"... right. Why don't you show your face now?"

While staying in the village, Siran sleeps with Kay in a different house from ours.

It's not that big a village, and there's nothing like stretching your legs a little on the way home.

However, Lily looked a little strange when she heard my words.

"From now on? Isn't it a little late to visit?

I talked to Mr. Melvin and the others a little bit, so the sun was already full.

"I think tomorrow morning would be a good time."

"Well, yes..."

Lily's point was the best, and my reply boiled down somewhere.

As a matter of fact...... I'm not lying about my gratitude for Silan, but there was a huge part of the pretext for what I just said about going to thank you now.

At the end of the day, I was really concerned about Silan's attitude, which he showed in his pre-dinner interactions.

I felt like I wanted to see how it went.

Though I may be worried, I felt that way.

I had a hunch, like I had to.

If you think about it later...... maybe that was like the bug news.

"... hey, I got some errands to run"

"Yeah."

With Lily, who nodded, I turned to Silan, looking like he was not going to fall.

Walked out, it was a few minutes.

Lily raised her voice.

"... that? You're over there, aren't you, Mr. Helena?

There was a black shadow, trying to hide away, in the shade of a tree.

In my eyes, I can only tell so much that I am a small figure, distracted by the dark shadow that trees create.

You heard our conversation, and the shadow looked back at us.

Comes close to a small run.

If you look nearby, that was definitely Helena.

"... what happened?

I asked because it was so clear that even the dimness of the moonlight alone could tell, that there was impatience in Helena's face.

"Dear Takahiro..."

As soon as he called his name, Helena dropped her gaze.

I don't know what happened, but it was only clear that something had happened.

"What's wrong with you?

I asked, worried about the tone as slowly as possible.

"If you tell me, I might be able to help"

Lifting her gaze slightly, Helena bit her lip.

He seemed unsure whether to say it.

At the same time, he seemed troubled as to what he had said.

Confused, perhaps most rightly so.

Slightly, Helena opened her mouth.

"About Silan, what is it?"

"Silan did? What's wrong with you?

"... can you come here"

After opening and closing her mouth several times, she said.

"This way. Quiet, follow me."

When I say it, it starts moving.

I couldn't seem to afford it.

I looked at Lily and I followed her.

The village was very quiet.

This is the time.

There are no other villagers walking outside the house.

There must be some people watching at night, but guarding the outside enemy, they pack it in a sight beside the fence, and there's nothing like looking around the village.

Only the faint twitching of the trees, and the footsteps we moved, were all that reached our ears.

Immediately, Helena stopped her legs.

Looking back in the shade of the lurking tree earlier, I make a call here.

As we approached, she pointed to a point.

Turn your gaze.

A short distance away, there was a building.

It's a sturdy, rugged building with no philosophy whatsoever.

……

The wooden door at the entrance was open.

Out of the open doors, it's dark and invisible.

The snuggly darkness was creeping.

"That building, what is it?"

Helena says.

A little, my voice was trembling.

"What about that..."

As I was wondering how she was doing, I said so, and I whispered.

Because there was zero flutter and shadow coming out of the entrance to the door that remained open.

Tied up, golden hair.

It was Silan.

It's a little far, but definitely.

Definitely, it should be Silan.

That should be, and yet......

When I saw him for some reason, I felt something freezing in my spine.

……

The golden hair is shaking loosely in the light of the moon.

Fluffy, fluffy, relaxed, as if you had lost your core.

Siran's figure, walking around the building with a fluttering foothold, quickly became invisible.

In the meantime, a few seconds.

I realized I was holding my breath.

"... I need to talk to you for a minute, and I went to Siran's."

In a whispering voice, Helena said.

"Then it seemed like he was going somewhere. I tried to speak up... but somehow, I was so relieved."

Helena's voice was not so clearly trembling.

"Oh, that's crazy, right? But I can't speak with that. I'm just sure things weren't right, and you can't just leave me alone, can you? That's why I snuck up on the rest. Then he goes in there..."

"What is that building?

"It's a warehouse. It's used as a grocery store in the village."

"... the pantry"

I wonder what it is.

I wonder what it is.

I had a terrible feeling about it.

"There shouldn't be any errands at this hour..."

The girl's voice, plundering and disappearing.

The remaining silence is heavy.

Breathe in the air like lead, I said.

"... let's make sure"

Lily and Helena nodded silently.

Hiddenly, we went out of the shade.

Run over to the warehouse.

Look around, but there's no sign of Silan.

Through the open door, I try to get inside.

"Wait. Your husband."

He blocked his way with his arm.

"I'll go first"

Lily, I said, let the little red magic team unfold.

Get the activated magic light, she steps into the warehouse first.

I followed it, too.

Warehouse illuminated by lights.

The meat of the eaten scattered herd of green rabbits was rolling.
