Episode 81: Homecoming

- Pessipesi.

I wake up with a little hand slapped by Farah's summoner.

"Whoa, thanks for waking me up. Are you close already?

- Pong, Pong

"Right. Mm-hmm. Ha, wake up."

Stand up so that the Summoner does not fall, stretch out his back and wait for everyone.

Still, this subpoena lasted a long time. I'll have to check the MP consumption when Farah gets back.

With that in mind, I quibble around and I see the Miriams walking in from the city ahead of the run.

Those kids aren't wearing tea-based clothes like the residents around there, and don't stand out in appearance or from afar.

"Hey, Takashi Kun. You were awake!

"Oh, Farah woke me up"

I guess Farah was explaining this situation to everyone.

"Thank you for the money, Takashi"

"Whoa, did you get what you wanted?

"Yes! Because you can buy anything with that"

"What did you buy, by the way?

Everyone thanked me in turn. If you're happy to this extent, offer more shopping events in the future.

With that in mind, each one shows me what they bought out of the inventory.

Miriam has her hair fastened or bought a few. I guess it's daily.

Farah is a sweet object such as fruit, as expected. And massively.

Marie has ear decorations and bracelets. Do you align up and down? Don't look good.

The run... what is this?

"Run, are you nuts? Oh, well. It was stupid."

"Terrible!? Why, why!? This is so cool!

Wood-carved bear figurine. What do you use it for... Are you kidding me?

"Gao."

Run brings a figurine in front of his face and is ready to become a bear. Even though it's a bear, is it “gao”? Well, I don't know how to intimidate a bear, but it's a run, and maybe not.

But you're cute. I'm glad you have a use for it.

"Let's go."

"Hey, Mushi? Are you ignoring me?

Just dusted, leaving the run and traveling to the sailor's yard cabin, a woman in an elf who looked healthy was sitting in a chair.

"Hi, I'd like to get on the boat, what can I do?

"That's the ship there. I'll be out in a minute. Five silver each."

I've seen it on TV a long time ago, it feels like a street boat. About twenty people are going to be able to ride on a longitudinal wooden ship.

Pay, get aboard, get together and sit in the right place.

The sweet things that Farah should have bought for herself - mainly fruit, I handed out to everyone, so I wait for her to sail with it.

I'll buy you another replacement.

"Then I'll sail. It'll shake a little, so be careful."

I just got on a boat with about ten people besides our party, and I get a sailing signal from the bow.

Everyone is grabbing the edge of a nearby ship. Farah is mossy on her knees, so I'll grab her instead.

I was wary of shaking, but not enough to grab somewhere, and the ship starts going down the river on the stream as it is.

"Marie, can you tell me where to get off and where to go?

"Yes! Uh, there's a river coming from the east ahead and this river joining us, but we'll get down around it. We'll be there in a few minutes walking from there!

It looks close, and we're going to be able to slow down when we get over there.

When we get there, we'll have to find a place to stay first.

"Is there an inn or something in the village?

"There is no inn...... but if you still have the house I lived in, use it there"

"Okay. Then let me do that."

I had the food sourced earlier, and I was able to secure the bedding.

We'll gather information on where the villagers were taken in the slave hunt when we got there.

Enjoy a sailing trip while deciding what to do when you get to the village.

And this river, it's beautiful as it flows between the woods.

It's in the woods. More like this, like an undisclosed land, it was like a difficult image for a ship to move on, but the flow seems slow and easy to get up.

Sometimes, these relaxing journeys are good.

While teasing the run for a few hours or so, I enjoyed Farah's puffiness and arrived at a place where the river was joining me from the east side.

"Dear Takashi, we are about to arrive"

"Right. Is this ship self-declared when you get off?

"Yes. Tell the bowman and he'll put you down"

"Well, tell me"

I don't even know the exact location, so I'll leave it to Marie.

After a while Marie returns, the ship also stops straight towards the west woods.

"I'm going down where there's no tree but a part of it over there"

"Over there. All right, let's get out of here."

"Yes!"

"Okay."

"Yes."

The location designated by Marie was machined with wooden planks and the like so that the ship could get off the ship easily.

"Thank you"

"Yes, sir. Bye!"

After thanking the foreman and breaking up, Marie takes the lead in the village.

As Marie said, I just walked a few minutes to see the village.

But you can't hear the sound of life at all.

Closer to the village, the exterior walls and buildings are collapsed and, more importantly, people are not seen.

"Are you sure here?

"Yes... but no way..."

Some buildings have burnt marks, and fields are rough all you want. It's just an abandoned village, no matter where you look from.

But if you think about it normally, it's a village that was in a slave hunt, and you could have expected this to happen. Failed.

"Somebody! Is anybody here!?

Marie ran out and went inside the village as she called, not even knowing if she was there, so we all go after her.

"Demon Eye."

Is there really no one in the village, using the devil's eye, to search as wide as possible - there was!

"There are people over there. Farah, Run, I'm on my way, so stay alert. Miriam will bring Marie back. There may be bandits out there, so watch your back."

"Okay."

"I get it!

"Yes!"

I'll split it up between my hands and move to those who show signs of people.

Homes with signs of people, especially those with no broken spots, seem to contain about three people in total.

From the movement, I wouldn't have noticed this one yet.

"Let's go."

"Mmm."

"Yeah."

- Bang.

Open the door vigorously and poke at the weapon.

"Don't move!

Hans Vito Lv.14 Village Chief

"So, who!?

"Ahhh!

"Oh no!

I thought you were a bandit, a village chief. I failed again.

More importantly, was it on the slave hunt and you were safe?

"Wait! We're not suspicious!

"You'd be too suspicious!

"Suspicious, but don't worry, I'm not a bandit!

The axe that was nearby was laid this way, so this one holds his weapon and tells him that he has no will to attack, but it doesn't make sense.

Well, if all of a sudden you get into a house and you stick your weapon up, you're suspicious, and you're on guard. Besides, the first voice is "don't move”...

As Jiriziri and the village chief were approaching us, Miriam and Marie came.

"Mayor!"

He goes in between me and the village chief, opens his hands and puts the place away.

"Oh, you, Marie...?

"Yes, it's Marie Curries! Remember!?

"Oops, there's no way I can forget. You're alive... good. And what's this all about?

"Uh, this is my husband, Takashi."

Since Marie has begun to explain how she has been so far to the village chief, she decides to watch her without saying anything.

I was worried you might introduce me to the brave man or something, but I just explained it to my husband, so I'm relieved.

It was also worth it, and I managed to get you off guard.

I was recommended tea, so I sat in a chair and asked about the current situation in the village, etc.

"So? Are there no other villagers?

"There are a few more, but now they're out hunting or going to the city to get food. They screwed up the field. I don't have any food."

"I thought there was no one there anymore, but there were people who escaped."

"Oh, those who had accidentally left the village, like us, and those who were out hunting, were safe"

I see. Were they aimed at when there were no villagers in a battle that would be able to resist, to hunt?

"Has anyone been captured and returned?

"I'm not here. I'm new to Marie."

"Do you have any idea where the captured people were taken?

"While I was sourcing food, I had them gather intel in the city, and apparently there's a bandit group Ajito to the north. Perhaps it's them."

Oh, that's why there was an urgent request.

But now that we've crusaded, Marie is after she was already sold, and other faces will be sold or killed.

"Marie, what were the others doing when you were sold?

"Uh, a few of them, including me, said they'd sell it to Zakzel and a few to Estr. The rest of us, including my brother, don't know."

"Right. Farah. When you were in Estrell, did the elves ever get sold?

"Yeah, one girl, two sisters. But he disappeared."

I heard that elf slaves are rare. It must have sold right away.

Elf girl...... is there a guy who bought it before I went to the slave trader? Don't tease me at all.

"Marie, how many people were there when you were sold?

"Three, including me."

"How many were captured?

"Fourteen."

So the other eight could be at the bandit's.

When there are no villagers who can hunt, did they capture women and children together?

"Are the eight remaining, after all, a lot of men?

"Yes, six men for two women."

"One of the men is my brother."

"Yes......"

Maybe you should be prepared for this.

Leaving the unsold only costs maintenance, and it's unlikely that a guy who hunts slaves will keep poor inventory alive.

"I'm glad Marie came back this way, but what are we going to do now?

"Hmm, I don't know what to do..."

The village chief asks me about the future, but I honestly get lost in judgment. Bandit hunting becomes gold. Then, if Marie's brother can be found, it's two birds a stone.

"Eh, Takashi-kun. Aren't you going on a bandit crusade?

"I don't know what they're up against, I'm lost."

I don't have a hand in not going, but it's reckless to stick them in a place where you don't know how far they are.

"Dear Takashi. Where we were taken was certainly north. I think there were about twenty of them there."

"When it comes to gathering information, it means Velm is involved."

"It's Velm again!

If there's about twenty of them I've fought before, I think I can handle it on my own.

But it would be troublesome if the hostages were harmed. Perhaps it would be better to fight for the annihilation of all at once.

"Do you guys have anything with Velm?

"I don't know if he was near an executive before, but he attacked me."

"What!?

"Well, in return, I handed it over to a knight I knew."

"Oh my..."

Nevertheless, I was told that Velm was operating in the north, but had he even reached the Elf Forest?

Besides, there's an aside, so the scale is big there.

I knew it was going to be gold.

"I see what Takashi is thinking right now."

"Oh well! That's my wife."

"I'm not your daughter-in-law yet!

"Takashi's wife is Farah"

Sudden scratch from Miriam. Apparently, he was on his face.

Maybe they saw me calculating rewards and such with my fingers.

"Miriam seems different, so my daughter-in-law Fara. Now, announce what I was thinking."

"Toraku everywhere."

"That's just great, Farah. That's great."

"F"

I didn't even think about killing them all, but they're generally hitting it.

Nevertheless, this Doya face...... let me just stroke it for you.

"Mr. Takashi, are you sure you want to do this?

"Sasasu is a takashi!

"Oh, that's so easy..."

The village chief is surprised. No, are you worried about me? Well, that's a lot of kids' parties. I don't have a choice.

"Hey, Marie. Is this guy that strong...?

"Yes, Takashi is great!

"Really? Doesn't look that way..."

You put up with me a lot.

Well, if that's what you decide, then you're in action.

"All right, village chief. Tell me where they are. And I'm transporting the bandits we caught, so can we get some personnel, please? You don't have to fight. Because I just need to carry it. Because it makes the village pretty for it."

"Beautiful the village? I don't know, I should take those who are going hunting right now. Some of them were captured by wives and children."

"It helps. Is there anything else you want? Food, clothing, etc."

"I want food because it's not enough for those who are going to buy it out. I didn't get my hands on the clothes, so I'm fine."

After we defeat the bandits, we can all carry them with divine legs, but we don't know if we'll have enough MPs, and we'll have them help us carry them.

We'll stick it out to the Knights at our party after we carry it, so we'll get paid.

Instead, it's an operation to repair a broken house or something.

"I'll get you the right food. How much do you want?

"Hmm. There's about six gold in the whole village that can be used for food right now. Now I just want to be able to buy it. But do you have that much?

"I'm buying it. Redeem for money later."

"Mm, buy it? Okay."

The village chief asks about the general position where the bandit Ajito is located and leaves the village chief's house.

"Miriam, Farah. I need a favor from you guys."

"Yes, what is it?

"Hmm?"

Call Miriam and Farah, put your hands on the house where the walls that were nearby are worn out, and let them magically repair it.

"This is how you keep your house restored"

"Okay."

"Okay. So, what do you do with Mr. Takashi?

"I'm taking Marie and Run back to the city to raise food for this village"

"I see. Then I'll fix it by the time you get back!

Ask Miriam and Farah to restore the house and the exterior walls, then take Marie and Run and fly to the city.

"I don't know what kind of meal the elves prefer. Marie, you pick the food. Eighty quid for everything."

"I understand... eh, isn't that six gold?

"Oh, two quid is service. It's gonna be tough without manpower."

"Yes! Thank you! Yes!"

Looks like you're a little impressed, but it's not.

There's a reward for the bandit crusade, so it's like that share. Well, I won't tell you.

"Run, you need to find a rope to tie the bandit up, a cloth to block his eyes and mouth, for about thirty people."

"Yes, all right."

Ask the two of you to shop and wait outside the store in a position where you can see each one.

I heard there were about twenty bandits, but a lot of rope and cloth are spares for what if. I will use it again in the future.

Looking at the runner, Marie called me, so I make the payment and throw it into the inventory.

And that's massive. With all this, I guess I can eat for a few weeks.

Actually, Marie may be a good shopper. It's an unexpected side.

Keep moving toward the run, check the item properly, and then finish accounting.

I just let Run look for me because I found out again today that I can't let him shop.

It was a hassle, and I don't know my face, so I don't go out the gate, I move into the alley, and from there I go back to Marie's village.

We went straight to the village chief's house, exchanged food and money, and when we went under the Miriams, the house was largely repaired.

I guess a house that's already burned just doesn't know the prototype. A few cases remain intact.

The exterior walls are well repaired, and you won't have a problem if you make them so pretty. Enough for consideration.

"Marie, tell me your house"

"Uh, it's that, uh, burning house over there..."

"Oops......"

"I have no choice. Return to the Mansion."

We were just talking about going back to the mansion, and the village chief came.

"You guys are amazing! How could I do that!?

I was asked a question pointing to the restored house, so I'll answer it appropriately.

"Oh, it's just magic."

"Really! I'm starting to feel like you guys could do something about the bandits! It's time for those who go hunting to come back and join us for dinner."

You're on the wrong time to go home. I was invited to dinner.

"And now I have a house I'm not using, make sure you use it there!

"Thank you. Then I'll take care of you."

It doesn't seem like an atmosphere where I can say no very much, and tomorrow's operation needs to be told to the haulier. It's a corner favor, so let's take the invite.

After accepting the invitation, around evening, the men who had returned from the hunt, and the wife and daughter of the village chief, began to come together to prepare their meals.

Apparently, in a banquet style, they all dine together.

At night, while we all eat, tell them about tomorrow's operation, etc.

Even if I tell them, I can't say it's an operation because it feels like never coming forward, always running away when it's dangerous.

The meal was over and we went into the provided house, but there was no bath.

I tried to give up, but there was space on the back of the house, so I built a cabin, prepared a bath, and we all go in together.

I got out of the bath and tried to practice magic, but I think I used it in restoring the house, etc., I go into the futon a lot because I had less MP left.

"We're busy tomorrow. Everybody, don't do this!

"Yes!"

"Okay."

"Say anything!

"Yes."

It's been a neat day, but time flies fast.

Let's go to bed in preparation for tomorrow.

"Good night."
