"... the pavilion owner of the inn..."

In the meantime, I also have trouble leaving the inn without saying anything and getting some weird suspicion.

I'll find the pawn owner of the inn.

If adventurers come from the city to these rural villages, it is not often the case that they are too feathery, leave in the middle of the night like this and attack the village's young daughter, etc.

I thought I'd say no and then leave so I wouldn't get suspicious like that later.

But......

"... you're not here?

When I entered, the pawn owner of the inn, who should have been at the counter at the entrance to the inn, was not there.

At night, mostly family-run inns like this are in order when guests are there.

It would be hard if we had to do that every day of the year, but once or twice a week, we do enough business if our customers come.

No problem to that extent.

It makes sense to avoid the realistic danger of not only the part called service, but not waking up in the middle of the night, stealing something, or even having trouble getting out and stomping down charges when it's time for customers.

"That's crazy. Did you fall asleep...... ugh!?

Augley peered behind the counter, tilting her neck.

But at that moment, I can rush in and pull my neck, with signs of something swinging down from the top.

Then I pulled out my sword and set it up.

I follow that, too.

"What the hell... Oh, come on"

Seeing, on the other side of the counter, there was the pavilion owner of the inn with the handkerchief.

Those eyes that stare at this one are roughly unusual.

He was running blood, and his mouth was sloppy. He was drooling, and he was like a beast.

"This is... I guess that's what this is all about, huh?

That's what Augley said.

That sort of thing is easy to mean.

It must be due to Sai Lane.

I snort, but for now, I'll tell you.

You don't have to kill him.

"Of course...... oops!

Soon the pavilion owner, who came over the counter, was probably accelerating this way as he shook up all his strength the (10), which was supposed to be a firewood cracking application.

It is a movement without humanity and it is somehow difficult to predict the movement.

It doesn't seem like he can hit the attack, but when he thinks about it as intact as possible, he can't just cut it with his sword all of a sudden, and Augley takes the blow of his own sword once and for all.

"... surprisingly powerful, huh? Well...... still no big deal compared to adventurers, heh!

With that said, Augley bounced back the wax and then entered the pavilion master's pocket.

As it was, I slapped it in to look at its abdomen and decide on the pattern of the sword.

Then,

"Guuuuu..."

And he raised his voice like a roar, and the pavilion master peeled off his white eyes, and fell.

Augley makes sure he's tightly unconscious, then opens his mouth.

"... you're surprised?

"Well, yeah. But it's not like I didn't expect it."

"Right... what happens outside the inn when this happens..."

"I don't really want to think about it..."

We have too many unpleasant feelings for each other, and we look at each other and sigh.

But I wouldn't even have the option of not going outside.

As for the pawn owner of the inn, leave him on the spot for now and we'll go outside.

There would be no danger that the pavilion owner of the inn would seal his mouth, but when this happened, it seemed unlikely.

Of course, not at all.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... I knew this was gonna happen"

"Sounds like..."

When we go outside the inn, there's a sight out there that we don't want to see and we feel like holding our heads.

Ten or so villagers surrounded us.

All the villagers...... what a joke we were talking about, but when this happens I get curious that maybe that's not a joke either.

No, isn't it?

No matter how many people say ten is because this village is a small rural settlement, it's too little for all of them.

Maybe it's not that serious.

In the first place, it's only the villagers... telling the boulders I'm copper doesn't make me a big opponent.

Even before I became a demon, I think I could have dealt with them normally, probably this much.

So at the next moment, we were able to beat the ten villagers who flew in at the right time without so much difficulty.

One by one, we'll carefully stun them so they don't get hurt.

And I just became one of the last,

"Hah......!!!

"Become...! Not good!"

Because I was cornered, or I tried to wield a knife in my hand against my neck, so I played the knife and stunned the man.

The others don't necessarily do that either, so for once, make sure they're with Augley, and then we exhale.

"... you were in danger. I didn't know you were gonna die."

I snort at Augley's words.

"I guess that's not my will either... but it does a hell of a lot for me. If he dies, he'll be in a lot of trouble."

Maybe not that far in reality when it comes to how much trouble.

But villagers usually have no countervailing power over adventurers.

In cases like this one, there is a chance that investigations will often be conducted in the country, and then we may be caught at our worst.

Of course, we were attacked all of a sudden.

I'll tell you...

Think that far, I think.

"... maybe that's what I was after"

"What do you want?

"Let us hurt or kill the villagers and let the country catch them..."

"Uh... I see. That could be a little bad."

Augley nodded at my theory and said so with a laid back face.

Of course, it would have been nice to have killed us honestly, but it's a bunk structure that says we can go that way even if we can't.

He said he'd kill us defenseless people who were caught and held captive.

It could have been a pretty clever way to do it.

It's just that I can get away with as much as I want with differentiation if I get caught.

Lorraine's going to get away with it, too. For once, some restraints disrupt magic, but I'm not a woman who knows there is such a thing but doesn't have the means to counter it.

Augley... maybe not.

"When this happens, I feel like I know who's behind it."

"Right...... it wasn't a good idea to go to the princess"

Whispering such a story, as I walked to see if there was anything else strange in the village, Augley suddenly sounded, shrugging her nose.

Then,

"... oh, I remember! Lent, wait a minute! I'm coming."

That's what I say, I run out of the blue somewhere.

I wondered what the hell... but I didn't have time to stop.

The speed of its feet is boulder silver.

No, I don't have a chase or anything. It's not my job, silver.

However, it was certain that foot speed was important as a way to survive when you came across too strong a demon, and it was true that there were many fast-paced adventurers in the high ranks.

Anyway, they told me to wait. Are you waiting...

That's how I decided to stand blurry.

In the middle of the village, a man with a skeletal mask and black robe who keeps standing blurry......

Don't be too suspicious, though.

Then after a while......

"Lent! Thanks for waiting"

That's what I said, Augley's coming home.

"... where the hell have you been? Or... what about him?

If you look, there was one woman held beside Augley.

Plain outfit, but she was a much more luscious looking beauty.

"Probably, but it's Sai Lane."

Needless to say, Augley's answer drained me of my temper.
