The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

The next morning. Vivi, along with Timishoara, headed to the poles again.

Morphy and Sigishoara are also together.

I work as a guard next to Fem and the gate.

"I miss you without Sigi"

"Wahoo."

Fem puts his jaw on my knee.

Maybe he's trying to cheer me up.

Cruz is working in the Lords' Hall.

Luca and Ulina go to the king's capital, and Valimier goes to the forest of Lindbal.

We all have work to do. I want you to do your best.

"Well, I wonder if there's anything to do..."

"Al is sitting down. It's his job."

"Yes, it is."

I sat down and looked at the field.

I've already finished drawing magic formations on the field.

The demonic stones will be produced more and more, and the soil will get better.

"Kehahahahaha!" "Damn."

The child demon wolves are playing in the field. I'm digging holes and catching moles.

A guardian-like demon wolf watched over it.

"The wolves are practicing hunting, too."

"It is."

"But the child demon wolves, they don't get much older, do they?

'Cause you're a wolf.'

"Is that what this is all about?

"It's normal for creatures with long lifespans to grow slowly."

I'd feel that way if they told me so.

Dogs grow slower than mice, and humans grow slower than dogs.

"Wahoo."

"Geez." "Geez."

A guardian demon wolf leads a child demon wolf toward the cabin.

The unencumbered child demon wolf is also stuck to the guardian demon wolf and walking to the cabin.

"Mm?"

I'm a visitor.

Femme, who was falling asleep, moved into a sitting position.

I guess it's in guard dog mode.

I can see the visitors after a while. I'm waving.

"Alfred."

"... Long time no see"

It's a B-rank adventurer party that used to come to Murg Village.

The three brothers and sisters came to fetch the herb and encountered a flock of basilisks and wanted to destroy it.

That's what we helped.

Had it not been for Yulina's healing magic, there would have been a dead man out there.

The heavy warrior was named Anton, the light warrior Emmy, and the bowman Liza.

Antons, who came all the way to the gate, smiled and said.

"Mr. Alfred, it's been a while."

"Oh, you look fine, most importantly"

"Yes, thanks to you"

Antons' home is the first city to go and sell Morphy's meat.

This is where the branch of the Torf Chamber of Commerce is located. It's not Cruz territory, by the way.

"Is that your guild quest today?

"That's the place."

"You came here before this with a herb removal... this time?

"It's a little bit of a quest."

Anton clouds his words.

I'm sure there's confidentiality or something. That kind of quest is not uncommon.

As a veteran adventurer, I don't ask deeply. That is the preference.

"I needed to replenish it, and because of it, I wanted to see Mr. Alfred and the others."

Well, you're welcome.

Next to me and Anton talking, Emmy and Liza were stroking Femme.

"Wahoo."

"Mr. Femme, you're a mundane."

Femme is letting her stroke her, standing her ears properly.

I guess you're showing off your majesty as the Demon Wolf King.

"Is Mr. Morphy not here?

"I've been out for a while today."

"Too bad."

Emmy feels sorry for herself.

Morphy is cute, so I know exactly how sorry I am to not see her.

After a while of conversation, the Antons went inside the village.

Anton is catching the village chief and having some conversation. Nothing like buying something.

Femme says as she looks at it.

"What are you doing here?

"Saana."

"I care."

Femme is roughing up her humph nose with curiosity.

However, it is manners not to pry if confidentiality seems to be obligatory.

I explained that to Fem.

"That's what it is."

"Yes, you are."

The Antons talk to the village chief all the time while he teaches Femme how to be an adventurer.

I also go to the cattle shed.

And he came back here with the village chief.

I ask the village chief.

"What's up?

"No, what. Mr. Anton said he wanted to see the field."

"Was it"

Antons walked to the field with the village chief.

Femme gets more and more excited. My ears and tail are pinned.

It's suspicious.

"Wouldn't be suspicious"

You're not suspicious, are you?

"Uhm."

I already have predictions as to what Antons came to do.

After seeing the fields, the Antons seemed to go straight home.

"I'm sorry I didn't see Mr. Vivi or Mr. Cruz."

"Say hello to Julina, too"

The Antons are being saved lives by Yulina's healing magic.

I guess that's why I feel particularly beneficial to Julina.

"If you can afford to go home, stop by"

"Yes!"

The Emmies were stroking Femme on their way home as well.

After dropping it off, the village chief says.

"What did Mr. Anton and the others come to do?"

"That's..."

"Yes."

"No, I'd like to ask you before you talk about my guess, village chief, what were you talking about?

"Uh, how was the crop yield this year, or about the annual contribution?"

"Again."

Femme puts her neck up.

'I mean, what does that mean?

"The assistant deputy isn't fraudulent, or he's circling the villages. Well, Murgu Village was a little different because the deputy was in charge."

"Ho?

"The Cruz said they were going to make a request to the Adventurer Alliance, so it would be."

After changing assistant deputy, Luca said she would arrange it.

To hire a class B adventurer party, Cruz territory seems to be spending money at all costs.

I felt Cruz's will not to tolerate injustice.
