Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ~Lets Aim to Be the Strongest~

95. A Female Swordsman's Failure (side Mertier)

I took my three companions, including Yuno, back to the village, and beckoned.

There is no longer a tall one, and the number of buildings has fallen dramatically.

On the contrary, the terrain is changing.

Apparently, there was a fuss in the middle of the village.

"Hey, wasn't this too late?

Daz, the bowman, lurks his voice and squeals.

But it's clearly not what I was concerned about.

That's what I've been gathering my people for when I found something in the woods that looks like a Bandit's Ajit that could attack the village soon.

Nevertheless, I can't wipe the feeling of helplessness, as it was completely separate from my expectations.

If we had prolonged the village investigation and stayed here, we would have hit this crisis with me and Yuno. In that case, the damage would have been considerably reduced.

I caught the villagers and listened to them, and apparently two medium-sized dragons showed up in the village and started engaging on stage in the central part.

The result of being caught up in it is this tragedy, he said.

Most importantly, one dragon died after losing the battle, and the winning dragon was also deeply injured and crashed to the bottom of the cliff and died.

There were other humans who were supposed to have died showing up in the village and rambling, and speculation was flying around, zombies, mushroom poison.

So I think about the Necromancer line that I erased once.

I assumed it wasn't because the village graveyard wasn't vandalized, but if I heard of zombies, I'd really think of the possibility of arresting them.

No way, the bandits are nostalgic for Necromancers?

Using such dangerous demons is too risky. No, but if you're a bunch of outlaws who don't think about it later, you might do it?

I took the three of them and visited Mariel's mansion.

She should not be confused by speculation and know exactly what's going on in the village.

I have not been in the village for a long time in Dada. She had enough piercings to make her think so.

The mansion was away, so go around the village and look for Mariel. Mariel was in the village assembly center.

Apparently, he was making the assembly area a refuge for those who had lost their beds, a treatment center for the wounded.

Mariel was just going around with white magic on the wounded.

Mariel stops when she meets me.

Mertier, who visited the village before.

At my request, I'm not saying.

That's what Mariel told me the other day that I wanted the fact that I asked you to stay down because it would cause confusion.

I was supposed to move the place and talk to this whether it was Mariel's house or not.

However, the information obtained was not significantly different from the rumors of the villagers.

Mariel seemed to be hiding something, but that was unlikely to sound out.

The villagers confirmed what they had heard through Mariel and made her listen to Mariel's reflections on each of them.

After the conversation, we talk about something that looked like a bandit group aside, and get permission to enter Noah's woods.

By way of example, Mariel was not allowed to do so and was given the condition that we would defend ourselves.

In response to a series of unjustifiable anomalies, it seems a policy to push the theory across the village that 'because there are many breakers of forest codes, the patron saint of the forest has become angry'.

I guess the idea is that the villagers will settle down that way rather than the unexplained weird incident, and one stone and two birds if fewer people enter the dangerous forest.

In fact, it seems that a chain of anomalies began when a man named Dawes swung through the stops around him and forcibly went deep into the woods.

To that end, you can't let the villagers know you gave the adventurers permission to go into the woods from Mariel's standpoint?

Mariel stopped me when I tried to leave the mansion.

"Oh, I need a favor. You can just ask, can you listen?

When I look back, Mariel takes a seat.

"Remember Miriam? I was in this room when we met."

Hear the name and remember the last time.

I do think there was a girl when I came forward.

She's a bob-cut girl with beautiful skin like a doll and lingering obnoxiousness.

"He said he wanted to travel. I want you to take care of him for a little while. It's enough to teach you common sense outside the village. I'll thank you. If you need to think about it, don't hesitate to answer after you've run errands and discussed it with Miriam."

I heard that the only villagers who can use white magic are Miriam, except Mariel, and I don't think they want to go too far outside if you try from the village, but is it a journey with any specific purpose?

I pinned a little rumor in my ear that it was Miriam who brought in one crack of the dragon in the village, but is that in the form of blame and eviction for it?

But to see Mariel's expression, it's hard to think that's why.

I don't mind taking care of the rushing white devil mentor, but it's tough to respond without knowing what's going on.

Again, you should make up your mind after you meet the person.

"Now think about it during your search for the woods"

I answered that without difficulty and left Mariel's Hall.

Once Mariel's permission was obtained, we enter the Noah Forest.

Wolves do spiders, bears elephant earthwork attacked them, but if there are four of them, the stability is still different.

Daz, the bowman, shoots poison arrows reliably in the lead, poking a frightened gap and Yuno hammering him.

When I approach from the other side and chase with sword or light magic, Romina, the White Devil mentor, will make my recovery when the battle is over.

I ran into a smaller diseased dragon before, but now I should be able to hunt enough.

"But oh, Mertier. Honestly, is there a bandit group aside here?

Far away, over the cliff, Daz calls out.

"Oh, I've seen it before. It should be time to get to where I was saying. I have confidence in my memory. Don't worry."

"I heard from you, I checked it out. Big merchant on this continent. That's not coming out at all. If such a large pot of round quantity of piperis disappears, it wouldn't be funny if it wasn't a little noisy. Are you sure it was Piperis?

"If you were doing such an investigation, you should have told me"

"Maybe you've been fleeing another continent, haven't you? There is quite a lot of piperis smuggling, so I can fully think that it was not publicly possible for me to get puffed, and I think that it would be extra water. But I've been listening to the village and watching the woods, and I'm starting to wonder if it's different."

It seems that Daz grew up as an orphan in an insecure city and used to move as a component of a mafia-entangled organization.

For that matter, he's more familiar with those things.

I guess that's what he means when he says' something different 'is that the bandits aren't fit to choose them as safe houses, or that there's some discord in the situation.

Daz has a mild tone, but he's not a man who says things lightly.

I grew up in a light-hearted world, but I guess it's a dead end.

but it is true that I saw Piperis.

"I have no problem with that. Without a doubt, that was the scent of piperis. You saw Yuno, too, right?

"Hey Yuno, I don't have anything to do with that kind of luxury product, so yeah, that's the first time I've seen it. Why not? When I was a little girl, my mother was about to sell me, and I ran away from home, and I'm a level of muscled poor, right? I used to bake and eat my father's shoes. That, if I hung the piperis, would it have been a little more delicious?

I'm good at answering for some reason while Yuno moves his pixie and dog ear.

To the heavy story that came out, it felt like the temperature had dropped around a few degrees.

I'm sure he's going to be lightly proud of his poverty, but from this side of the spectrum, I want him to stop because things are tight.

"Ah... no, I'm sorry. It's not like I've ever used that as a hobby either... Oh there, there's a cave right over there at the bend... ah..."

I ran and approached where the cave used to be, but there was nothing there.

I don't have that deep stone statue, and I don't have a tree that had meat sting.

Not here? No, that shouldn't be...

"What is it, Master Mertier?"

"Yu, Yuno! There was a cave around here last time, wasn't there? Hey!"

"Hmm... Yuno, because I'm not sure about your memory. So, uh, shouldn't we be a little further back?

I don't think so... no, but... in fact, if it's not here, it can only be considered a different place.

"Hey, did you really see that, that? I didn't know it was weird, but I'm getting really hard to believe, that story. I guess I wasn't even dreaming."

I say it like a dazzle.

"Yes, no, but it should have been around here! There's a tree with a meat sting, there's a stone statue..."

"Oh well. In the meantime, let's go find something else. I can't stop here."

"Yes, Yuno will show you the way from here - Absolutely, it was deeper. Damn it, Master Mertier, sometimes you make a poke at the heart."

Yuno, were you looking at me that way?

No, not if you care about that now.

"Hey, wait a minute! Around here! It was supposed to be around here!

"Whoa, follow me quickly. We're gonna go first."

Yuno leads, Daz follows.

After Romina compared Yuno to me like she was in trouble, she said "... you know, sorry Nasai" only small, and ran after Yuno.

... I don't know why they apologized, but I couldn't help but stay alone anyway, so I decided to go after the three of them, even though I was driven by the thought of getting my hair pulled back.
