Riot Grasper

Bandits, a rough gathering called The Hungry Mad Dog.

They used the mountainous areas far from the streets as their root castles.

The Suvenese Empire boasts a vast territory and has established itself as a single nation by appointing nobles and others to each region as lords to make it easier to govern.

But if the lands ruled by those who prioritise their own interests were adjacent to each other, it would be half inevitable that skirmishes would occur.

The village where Dorfoy Gibbs, the bandits' boss, lived, was abandoned after eating such incitement to skirmishes.

Until then, when it comes to common stories, if we were to talk only a little bit about him, we would say that he was a good farmer who took care of the fields inherited from his parents' generations.

His large figure showed just enough horsepower to match it. plow large fields, sow seeds, take care of them carefully, and harvest them. Born sensitive to changing weather, Dorfoy possessed the gift of nature precisely as a farmer.

So much so that he gave each crop to harvest a name, he was loving the crop he grew.

But such a routine comes to an end.

The crops between harvests were trampled and vandalized by the horseshoes the soldiers ride, burned their houses, killed their families, and forced to give them all the food they had in the warehouse.

Naturally, he was clean.

A man who wielded the axe he was using for work and had never harmed a person before broke out in a semi-frequent manner. Several soldiers were blown away by that power, but even if a man with no combat experience holds a weapon, it will be over if he is surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

Simply describing him as' half-kill 'hurt him raw, but still he didn't die.

- It would be enough reason for a man who has worked in agriculture so far to be pessimistic and corrupt in his life.

Dorfoy abandoned a village that had become very uninhabitable, and as he was acting out against the bandits, more companions were in similar circumstances.

It was quite a while ago when the treatment of axes also improved and I became the boss of such a group.

He was better at cracking the head of prey with an axe than waving a ox in a field, but he actually had a secret pleasure.

They built their own fields in the mountainous areas of Negijo and raised their crops.

That was one of the few things that would heal his rough heart.

"- Oh, I wonder what happened to your field by now... it might have dried up due to lack of water"

It was no other Dorfoy who snapped while doing the task of shaking up and digging rock walls, not a shaft, not an axe.

He was currently being punished for forced labour in a mine near Amorphas.

Tiamo, the lord of Amorphas, who had captured the bandits led by Dorfoy, chose to use them as a workforce over capital punishment.

Inside the mine, crushed rocks and soil become fine dust, and the miner's body becomes muddy with sweat and soil.

"At least oh... if it's going to be the same muddy, I wish I could have let you do farm work in the field..."

"... whoops! You're kidding me. If you hadn't been hit by a kid like that, we wouldn't have seen you like this. You said you fell asleep trying to cultivate the fields."

It was the man who was working next door who spurned Dorfoy's soliloquy.

I don't have as good a physique as Dorfoy, but I stare at him as I blame him with a sharp eye.

This man was in the bandits as Dorfoy's men until the other day.

The painful defeat of the other day has exploded my dissatisfaction with the fact that I am in this situation.

"... oh? Say it again."

Dorfoy's arm strength, which is like a mass of muscles, even though his original body was deprived of his skills, is something that no fool can do. It's exactly like a gorilla wearing human skin.

Still, the man did not try to stop the words, wandering in the gaze of his gaze.

"Oh, I'm telling you this happened because of you! I'm sick of naming vegetables in the first place! The daughter of the liquor store who dropped the money we stole from the banditry... yes, a woman named Hermes said, 'Why are you axing my name? That guy's scared,' he said. That's why they took away the woman who was after the head of the sweet ones with the idea of a night noise."

".................. rarely"

"Ahem!?"

"I told you to shut up!! What did you just say about Ora? You lost uselessly! You think you deserve to say that!?"

Dorfoy's rhetoric has undergone a radical change, but this is his original rhetoric.

It was in that tone trying to speak majestically as the bandit boss, but the need is no longer faint.

Momentum, Dorfoy punched the man in the cheek with his fist.

"Grr! Oh, you fucked up!

The man tries to respond with audacious emotions, but a soldier who was in a position to monitor the sinners under forced labour quickly went into a halt.

"You guys! What are you doing there!? Mm... I told you fighting between sinners is forbidden. I got my hands on it first...... you. Hey, come here!

◇◇◇◆◆◆◇◇◇

Three weeks in September, Windy Day.

In about ten days following a request from Tiamo, the paving of the road by piercing construction came to an end.

Out of the cut woods, often walking, the city of Amorphas enters sight.

Me and Lim, Shania walked into the city in the face of Mr. Cecil, and I turned to the mansion where Tiamo lived with Lim.

Shania and Cecil take a break a lot, and I'm here to make sure Rim doesn't have any new information about the night chirping.

"- Yes? Now what?

Tiamo, who was blind to the paperwork, listened to these words, which asked him to sign the request for completion, and dropped the rash and the paperwork on his desk.

"No, um, the road to the mine is cleared, so I'd like you to sign the request."

"... and wait a minute. Well... the first time I told you that there was no deadline was because I decided I would need at least a few months. Are you telling me you didn't expect me to close the request so soon..."

There was a strange sense of accomplishment that the calm deposition was able to surprise Tiamo named Motto.

Tiamo's men went to confirm it because they can't just sign it without confirming it, but there are other things we'd like to report here.

"- … I see. Reports have been received from teams that have previously surveyed the mine perimeter regarding the ruins of being near that mine. But I didn't know how to get inside, so I left it..."

Even we wouldn't have been able to get in without Shania.

"The entrance was opened when my people slapped me with their powers."

Yeah, you didn't lie, did you?

"I slapped you...... are you?

"Yes. I was beating you"

…………

……

"... Well, the tree sea that spreads to the south is not my land, so I don't want to disturb Mr. Sage's renovation so he can live the ruins"

Oh, you're surprisingly accepting.

"Even for me, a brilliant adventurer like Sage would be easier to ask for."

I actually quite like these things about Tiamo.

"I'm just sorry to hear from Mr. Lim, but I haven't been able to grasp any news yet about the nighting-tongue."

I finished the request earlier than planned over there, so I guess I can't help it either.

So Tiamo asked me what I suspected.

"I wouldn't say it's impossible if it's a difficult question to answer, but assuming someone you suspect is someone you know of Mr. Lim was the person you presume to be, why are you part of the Bandits or something?

... I guess.

I was wondering, too. If you were lucky enough to escape the demonic raid, you should try to meet Mr. Arnold and Rim, your family. Nothing will ever join the Bandits.

After a while, I get anxious that it might be all my fault.

"I'm sure... there's a reason"

Tiamo grinned bitterly at the way he said it against the bowing rim.

"I'm not blaming you for anything else. Just curious, don't worry, the investigation will continue. And... last but not least about the mana crystals, why don't you go directly to the mine now, if you don't mind? If it's in the market before it's worth it, we might be able to accommodate it a little bit."

Yeah, kid. I can't believe you even considered discounting mana crystals.

"No, but I'm too busy to take him out..."

"No, because this also combines mine inspections. And... it's also my breath."

Breathe?

"I have a protective dagger. It's an ornament attached to this... I actually made this myself."

If you look closely, the finely crafted sheath of gold and silver is also scattered with fine gems, which make it quite a stunning substitute.

Speaking of which... Did Tiamo possess the skills to become a 'Material Craft'?

"I also processed this gem myself, which I would have thrown away as scum stone. When I go to visit the mine, I enjoy it too."

I see. I get the ingredients for my hobby.

I'm tired of grabbing my desk and working all day, and I guess I'm going to need these breaths.

- A mine near Amorphas didn't take that long if you traveled by carriage.

"Oh... here's the thing"

The holes leading to the inside of the mine are dug wide enough for humans to be sidelined and two or three to pass easily. It's reinforced with a timber frame to prevent collapse, and a little tremor doesn't seem to freak me out.

"Well, you've arrived"

Seeing Tiamo jump off the carriage just lightly, the guard soldier greets him with a correct posture.

"Ti, Dear Tiamo!? What can I do for you today"

"I came here to inspect as usual...... sounds like something noisy. What's the matter, sir?

"Well, that's..."

"- Let go! I'm telling you to let go! Ora just..."

In front of the stuffing of soldiers installed at the entrance to the mine, two or three soldiers hold both sides down disappointingly and there are people who are shouting in immobile situations.

I looked familiar to a man with a body like a human skin coating on a gorilla.

The tone is a little different from my memory, but I'm supposed to be the guy who was the boss of the bandits I've raided in the Tree Sea before. His name is only...... Dorfoy.

"Be quiet. If you're going to behave any more defiantly, I'm going to throw you in jail!

"Gu......, ahhh! That's where you are!

Dorfoy, who captures Tiamo's face in his sight, rushes this way as he drags his soldiers forcefully. Having perceived the danger, me and Lim went one step forward, trying to cover the little lord.

Immediately activate Bazi, Zizizi -!! and Thundersnake Strike (Orochi).

If we get any closer, we'll stun him with an electric shock.

If I thought so, the giant jumped and floated into space, folding his hands and feet magnificently in the air before landing on the ground. A series of acts that rub their foreheads against the soil in such a way is perfection...... jumping dugout.

"I know Ola's not my in-laws who can say this. But Ora... Ora..."

In the middle of the word, several soldiers around him become angry shapes, striking down the back of a man who is grounded with a weapon.

"What are you doing! Back off!

"I'm sorry. This sinner will be imprisoned immediately."

"Kisa well! Don't be ridiculous! Don't come near Master Tiamo. Let's see what happens to this one. Me, me, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Ooh... there's something strange about one person, but Tiamo seems to be loved by everyone.

"Wait. There must also be some reason why this man was rampaging. Speaking of sinners, if you work with dissatisfaction, you lose your efficiency. If you have something to say, say it."

By Tiamo's words, the soldier's hand also stops there.

"Ri, lord... sama"

That's right, the former bandit boss also seems to have cleansed his mind a little by touching the waves of angels.

Dorfoy, slightly raised his face, rubbed his forehead to the ground again.

"Ora.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"-... I see"

Though I said I would ask why, Tiamo, who was suddenly confused by his remarks, his expression gradually softened as he listened to Dorfoy.

In other words, I was bandit for various reasons, but I was originally the eldest son of a farmer, and if it's going to be the same mud, I want it to be used in my favorite agriculture.

However, there can be no such thing as a farmer who accepts sinners happily, and because Amorphas itself is a mining district, agriculture is not so much developed.

"Unfortunately, that's hard"

"Please! It doesn't matter at all if they tell you to plow the fields from morning to night. Anything else Ora can do."

Dorfoy possesses a special capability called Weather Sensing (Weather Scout), and he has developed quite a few farming skills, so there won't be a whole lot of lies in the current story.

He possessed other combat-based skills, but that's taken away from me already, so he's a complete farmer now as a skill structure.

"Um, right. Actually..."

If I were to make a resume, this man would be described in his job history as' I have the experience of a mid-sized bandit group 'and in his awards and punishments history as' I have experience in captivity ', which is not a very good property.

Still, I felt his enthusiasm for agriculture was only a little conveyed.

That's where the farming ends when you give up.

"- Huh? Recruiting farmers at Mr. Sage's base...?

Tiamo tends to think a lot about my words like that.

"But this man was the head of the bandits, even if he was? Considering that there would have been a lot of damage to the troops had it not been for Mr. Sage and the others at that time, I would like to ask you for a somewhat impossible favor... it's dangerous"

In addition, by fulfilling this request to secure a new mine route, you will have more confidence in me.

"It's okay. 'Cause if you do anything weird, I'll throw you in a bunch of nues."

At that time, I'm going to give Nuco's parents a tripartite interview. With a round waist.

"I'm not sure, but will you use Ola? Yes, I do. I remember getting bummed out of you, but I'm not gonna forget that you saved my life from Nue. I am truly grateful for today. From now on, let me call you brother!

Oh, whoa. It's weird because the tone just got a little country and the personality feels rounded up.

Besides, my brother... well, let's not worry about his age at this time.

- Where unexpectedly we got a new workforce, the wind-cut noise I'm used to hearing from the sky sounds.

Ah... what is this...

It was a big bird-wing demon that landed on my shoulder some time later.

The wings are black enough to breathe in the brilliant sunlight, with glitzy teeth peering out of his mouth.

Shit, isn't that Mr. Kroko?

When this one greeted him, Kroko rang out, 'Ggaa'.

Admit what a rim looks like next to me,

'Are you satisfied? Is your husband really satisfied with that?

or something like that.

Cohon.

Anyway, let's just say I'm happy to be back after successfully completing the task of communicating what I heard from Rik Shao to the King.

"It was late this time, wasn't it? I was just worried about you."

'That's what I got when I was resting my wings in Melbail on my way home, and I got information that might have something to do with your husband. It took me quite a while to find out. I just think you're licking your life surrounded by all kinds of women. It must be a struggle your husband doesn't understand.'

Yeah...... well, I guess I don't have that much to say about anything.

"So, what's the information that might be relevant to me?

"A few days ago, a group of adventurers engaged demons in a powdal wetlands southeast of Melbail," he said.

Adventurers are also in the business of fighting demons. It's not that uncommon.

"What does that have to do with me?

"The testimony of that group of adventurers said that they encountered a strong slime when they did, and fortunately, no injuries appeared...... they were a little talked about in the Melbail guild"

"Well, is it dangerous to combine attribute slime... et al."

Wait... Powdall Wetlands... Powerful Slime...?

'... isn't it time your husband had a guess?
