Kite entered the village of Eraku ahead of the carriage, but for now, when he showed his face to the branch of Adventurer Union, just like a normal adventurer, he decided to head to the village chief's house next. In the meantime, Kate decides to make sure she checks inside the village.

"Hmm... the population is large and about 500. The scale is there. Isn't neglect... a bit of a hassle if you're getting into it? It's not like the trees are disturbed... keep them out of the wind... or monitor them from somewhere, but don't stand out with this..."

Eraku is a mountainous village, but it doesn't seem to have the right points for surveillance where I've looked around. It is also possible to monitor it from within the mountains, but then it is possible that the boulders will perceive the demons as fighting, or vice versa, that they will be sneaked up and killed. Normally I don't do it.

"Hmm... surveillance wouldn't be..."

Kite checks the perimeter to make sure there is no gaze pointed at this one. I can do as much as I can look into my gaze if I try. I have not been worshipped as a hero by Dada for more than 10 years. And a little bird flew up to him like that.

"Yeah...? Coo?"

"Long time no see, Lord Kite."

"What's up?

"You've been ordered to look around the mountains... to report to Lord Kite."

"Well... how'd it go?

"As long as there are people like you and the villagers."

Ku reports to Kite what his demons have seen. If they also find a distinctly different presence in the boulder, then we can see that. Besides, the original demon is usually used for this kind of surveillance. Tina and the witches who use it for small rooms are just not normal.

"That means nothing, or... did you look around the village to see how it was?

'So I'm the one... so I don't see any problems in the village. We have confirmed that there is no surveillance around, even though there is no match for what Lord Canaan told us. "

"Well... thank you"

Kate expresses her gratitude to Ku. With that in mind, Ku followed the scene. Kite then carries out the cover-up as she behaves a little like an adventurer.

"Now I wonder if I could behave like an adventurer all the way..."

At least they shouldn't be suspicious, and Kate makes that assessment herself. Why did you do this? That's to make the enemy think of Kite as a normal adventurer, even if he walks in ahead of the carriage.

And at the same time, a different high-ranking adventurer from the kites cautioned that there were adventurers in the northern autonomous region who knew each other. At one point, we heard from Tina's use of the demons that there was no surveillance, but surveillance is not the only way to keep an eye on the kites. It would also be possible to tailor a snitch somewhere, and that is possible if the opponent is a high-ranking one. There is no harm in being vigilant.

"Well... let's go to the village chief's house first and see"

When Kate so decides, she starts walking again. After that, think later. It will be after checking the perimeter of the village chief's house for now.

"... Hmm... there's only one thing that does show that someone is watching..."

Kate looks around with only her gaze as she walks. The target is going home. If we're going to assume the target's movements, there's no reason not to keep an eye on the village chief's house.

It is in the favor of the village chief to keep it that way until now. Then surely Canaan will come to say hello. You should keep an eye out there, too. Nevertheless, if that is not the case, another possibility can be considered.

"... hmm... if there is no surveillance, does that mean that Canaan's father is quite famous and yet separate from this raid"

No one is watching. That's because there's a chance that somewhere else, if you look at it from the raiders, you won't want to know. That's what Kate concludes. Of course, this is one possibility. but if it is not, it is possible.

"Good... is there a problem with this if I manage to bring Canaan...?

That's what Kate whines about. In the meantime, there seems to be no danger at the moment. Plus there's talk of a man in front of the gate ahead. At least, I don't even think it seems bad in the village. The Canaan family was not preserved due to the village chief's selfishness, etc., but rather as a whole village. Then there will be no problem in getting into this village.

"In the meantime, why don't you go to the village chief's house"

Explore the feel of the village chief on both the raven and the corner. When Kate decides that, she just relives her temper a little bit. If anything else bothers you, only the village chief's house can accommodate the outpatients in this village. If there was a guest here, there was also a need to doubt it. Thus, Kite knocks on the door of the village chief's house. The reply came right back.

"Yes, yes... oh, who is it?

"Excuse me. I'm an adventurer named Kite, but an official named Sharima told me about this..."

"Oh... that's unusual. Oh, standing talkin 'too. Come in."

What came out was an old woman, probably in her late 60s. He was an animal man, but apparently there's not a race land out there that aging slowly as it looks. There was a feeling that it suited the appearance. She looks at the Adventurer's registration card presented by Kate and invites Kate inside.

"Excuse me."

"I was wondering if you could wait a moment. I'm gonna go get my husband."

"Ah, yes. Okay."

Kite was guided to a large room used for meetings in the village. Mrs. Murakami had a soft smile and tone, but there was still a lack of alertness characteristic of Enefia. There are a few young people from the village vigilante in the room, which is probably also used as a waiting room. This one looked no different than the village of Minado. So, a few minutes later. The village chief came.

"... Hmm... what can I do for you?

The village chief asks with a little vigilance. This is an adventurer, so it's natural. Nevertheless, that's why Kite never got alarmed or quarreled, and he inquired with a soft face.

"Nice to meet you... do you know a girl named Canaan Orencia?

"Where did you get that name?

The village chief asks surprised to hear the name given. I glanced at that look on his face for a moment and the young people from the surrounding villages looked surprised.

"... I'm late for my application. I'm Kate Amane... and I'm the master of the Alliance to which Canaan belongs."

"Oh, my God! So is that kid alive?

The village chief opens his eyes and reveals his surprise even more. As a matter of fact, the village chief had heard that Canaan was alive, but he didn't believe it. And only for a little while, Kate saw if his surprise was acting or not, and decided to step in and step in further when she felt safe.

"Yeah... but we've been protecting them for months."

"Really... no way, are you suffering major injuries?

"No, you're safe. She was a minor injury, thanks to her companions' protection."

Kite laughs and makes it clear that she is safe to ask the village chief. Apparently, he's a really good guy. He looked rather worried. I can feel safe with this. Kate thinks so and decides to explain the situation for now.

"I don't know..."

When asked how Canaan had become one of them, the village chief exhaled deeply in mourning. I guess I take Canaan's mood into account. So he bowed his head deeply.

"Thank you. As a matter of fact, I've always been worried about Canaan... and I can only say thank you for your protection."

"No... neither could we, her people. In the meantime, we were fortunate enough to save her alone."

"Yeah..."

The village chief nods at Kate's words and silently prays to his companions who defended that Canaan for just a little while. Thus, with his eyes open, he began to speak with a slight embarrassment and a bitter mix of laughter.

"I'm sorry to expose you to the shame of the village, but the truth is, we had a problem with her leaving the village, too."

"What's that..."

"As you know, the beast man's half... is a lamentable story, but he was ruled out as a half-baker by his children around the same age... and I was mindful of his mother and son, even as far as I'm concerned, but from the position of village chief, he didn't even shudder... within which his mother died and left without telling anyone. We couldn't save her..."

The village chief tells one end of the cause of Canaan leaving the village in a sad and sorry way. Canaan said it was to escape my mother's memories, but it must have been a lie - and of course it was.

"Really... so, um... I'd like to ask you one thing, do you know anything about Canaan's mother? If I could just wait and see why I was raising her with one female hand..."

"Hmm... that would be good. Let me tell you something."

Apparently, he decided to tell me that he was the master of an Alliance that was protecting Canaan. And this way, I guess Canaan's parents were still for some reason.

"I haven't heard anything from her, either. But the truth is, there was a reason I had to take it from this village... do you know the old clan up north?

Once again, the village chief asks Kite. I guess that's why he asked because Kate is Japanese from McDawell. By the way, that's why Kate revealed to the village chief that she was faking her appearance, including the circumstances. Of course, he knows Killier's coming. That's what I'm talking about after I proved it.

"Yeah, for once."

"With the messenger there, she came with the baby Canaan. You did not tell me which clan you belonged to. If I told you, I would definitely get into a commotion, and I don't want you to ask me about my father. It's just that Canaan's mother and this child are very important to you, so I want you to put them in this village for a while, and my father will always pick them up at some point."

The village chief tells Kite about the day Canaan's mother started living in this village. Further, apparently, it was their request to set up the house as well. They left all the money, etc. at that time. Thus, the village chief went on.

"We hear that many of the old clans who live in the north hate mixing with other races. Probably..."

"I see..."

Probably to get caught up in that rub and temporarily evacuate her. Kite read the village chief's unspoken words and nodded. As such, Kate asks what further went into it.

"Have you ever seen that messenger come after that?

"No... instead, I don't know, but it looked like someone else was coming from time to time. I once asked Canaan's mother if she was her own brother's messenger."

"My brother's messenger?

"Yeah... nothing more familiar than this... the messenger has never shown herself after hearing about her death and Canaan leaving. Nevertheless, it is the situation where ownership is transferred to Canaan and preserved as is for muscle and house, beyond what you are getting paid for. This is the extent to which we know."

The village chief nodded at Kite's inquiry and shook his head more sighingly. Apparently, he doesn't really know any more. He asked Kite what he was most afraid of.

"... your father threw it away, do you think?

"... I'm not saying I don't doubt it"

To some serious village chief's inquiry, Kate admits to an inquiry into something that is not clear. I can't say enough that it's unlikely. Leaving the money could have been a possible deposit.

There is no house in the Night Clan that does not accept women of other races, who have also begotten the sons of an old clan of beasts. Even if Canaan's mother's brother and others support the Orencian family, it doesn't necessarily mean that the home itself can support them. It's impossible to lose everything to boulders. That's how Kite starts talking.

"Actually... before you get here, Canaan is being attacked. The raider was a fairly high beast man. He has made it clear that Canaan is the target."

"!? Is she coming here!?

"Yeah... an intercontinental conference a few months ago. That time, she used the secret moves of a brave man and heard her talk from her people. Find your father. If you're two surrogates, you can reach my father. Yes, he said he was coming. That's why I asked Master Aura to move the Blanchettes."

In response to the village chief, who reveals his surprise even more, Kate informs him of the circumstances of this visit. As far as they're concerned, maybe they were meant to keep it a little more secret, but unfortunately, the Qasims are already dead. It was only at that time that I had time to tell you.

"So this time. Let's find out about the father, and... with Canaan, come here. Actually, I came first because I also suspected that this village was grubbing up with raiders in the wake of the raid... sorry I suspected you"

That's what Kate says, she honestly bows her head. At least this mayor of the village can say goodwill.

"... no, you won't have a choice. So, where is she now?

"Did you know that the Blanchett lady is coming here?

"Yes, Mr. Kirier's school is on summer vacation and he said he was coming to visit."

"We were also accompanied on that journey. So now, in the carriage of the Blanchetts."

"Really... so now she's... no, you didn't even have to ask. You must be depressed."

The village chief inquired, but drew his own conclusions. There was a lot of groaning there.

"So I'd like to stay in this village for a few days..."

"Okay. If that's the case, we'll be happy to accept it. Besides, Canaan is a child of this village. I would never reject her."

"Thank you... and if you can, you're basically going somewhere about me. If you decide that there are more than one Rank A adventurer staying, I don't think your opponent will be raiding in the village on the boulder either. I will enter this village in a different way."

"Okay."

Upon Kite's offer, the village chief nods. Now there is another pale-haired adventurer staying in the village. At least, peace of mind will be at ease. As such, Kate secretly followed the village chief's house to rendezvous with Tina and the others.
