"Oh, we're saved! What a really thank you!"
The head of a village man bows down and thanks. He seemed to be middle-aged and his hair was slightly thinner, but he would be quite young as a village head.
He keeps bowing down to Aldis, who has defeated the monstrous "" and saved the village. This is probably due to the feeling of being the chief of having saved the village, but the great appreciation of the village chief. A woman who was attacked by allegiance and was saved by Aldis in a close call. Because it was the village chief's wife.
At the end of the day, Aldis's activity did not leave any casualties to the villagers and only slightly damaged the houses. Let's say that you are unhappy. Had the Cyrils arrived just late enough, it would have been irreparable. Because of that, both the mayor and the villagers will be grateful to Aldis.
"Sorcerer! Please take a rest slowly tonight! Even though it's a little bit, we'll have a seat for entertaining!"
The faces of the villagers, freed from the pressure of dangerous monsters, were bright and the tension was strange. Originally they were going to stay overnight after the defeat was completed. There was no reason to refuse the offer.
Surrounding the well in the center of the village, tables and chairs from each house are lined up. It is a remote village and has lived under the threat of monsters.
However, the villagers are angry with a smile from the bottom of their hearts, as they have been able to recover their daily lives without any sacrifice. Cups I saw here and there where I was drinking alcohol.
"Thank you very much. Thank you!"
"You're so young, you're so good!"
"Why a broken house just needs to be built again. What's more, there were no dead people."
"Look, don't be shy!"
As the villagers come to Ardis one after another, they praise their strength and thank them with a smile. It is possible that the prolonged style of accent is unique to the region. Except for the village chief, all the endings were very distinctive.
"But you're Aldis? You're strong no matter how you look. We didn't think we had a monster pair because of it. We had to escape the whole village as soon as we knew it. T- "
A bearded middle-aged man pours alcohol into Aldis's cup. Cyrill wonders at the words, and just puts his mouth from the side.
"Isn't it so bad if you pair?"
"Hmm? Ah, baby boy."
The man reacts to Kirill's voice and reacts as if he were aware of it. It seemed to be a lot of sickness.
"That's right. I don't know the other monsters, but the horror of 'Imperial' mates is inferior to that of a single."
It is said that the reason lies in the eccentric child.
"I don't usually make a herd, but they only mate during the breeding season. Did you see the boy?
Cyrill nods in silence. The appearance of countless monsters floating in the air, albeit juveniles, was a horrible sight that seemed to appear in a dream.
"Divine seems to lay an odd number of eggs. Well, if you look at that number, you can understand that."
The man turns his face in the direction where the young body was scattered.
"So the problem is that the larva eats up the creatures around it. The divine pair began to breed near here, probably because of the water and of course the abundance of food. "
He himself knows that the feed includes the villagers themselves. Show a complicated expression while drinking sake.
"But a lot of demons are born ... I'm afraid that all of them will grow."
Cannibal "Oh, that's not it. They seem to start growing up to some extent."
"cannibalism?"
"So-so. It seems that about five younger siblings begin to eat each other and survive."
Upon hearing that, Cyril was convinced.
Eventually, it will settle down to a reasonable number. However, there is nothing more annoying to the prey, such as consuming all of its prey in the previous stage.
"I know well."
"Ah, is the boy raised in the city?"
"Ah, yes, I'm from Ratings, a city-state union."
"Sorry. People in the city wouldn't be interested in the ecology of monsters. But, like here, a village living next to a monster's threat is a direct life-threatening problem. I'm sorry. "
In a remote village, such threats are just around the corner. You can't do it with "I didn't know" by throwing out dangerous beasts and demons. A bad practice can lead to danger in the village. So at least the beasts and demons in the area where they live are taught as common sense, the drunk man said.
"And I'm also a hunter. It's natural to be more detailed than the others."
According to him, it was this man who first discovered the divine. He said he wasn't worried when he found the allegiance.
"Well, it's safe because this magician's brother has defeated everything. That's a magician?
After the battle, Aldis reported to the mayor that he had defeated everything, including the young ones.
Even if you escape, it will be a threat to the village. If you defeat the adult first, you can not predict how the young body will move. That's why the adult was later put off and the younger body was given priority.
Aldis was thinking about that, surrounded by demons. After all, she's a great guy, Cyril turns her eyes again to Aldis's sitting.
There was a figure of a swordsman who was tired of drinking from the villagers constantly.
The corpses After spending the night at the village head's house, Kirill and the next morning go to a vacant lot outside the village to dispose of the holy.
Yesterday, the villagers insisted on burning them immediately. But Aldis was waiting there. Lesser known, Aldis explained, is that suckers on divine tentacles have the effect of reducing magic.
Familiar It doesn't mean it sells at a special high price. However, he seems to have been asked by a sorcerer who is watching in the royal city to collect if there is a chance. Since the strange tentacles have no such use at this time, it was common to recognize that they were not watched.
But if they find some way to use it, they will probably buy it at a higher price. The sorcerer who asked for the side gathering seems to be immersed in research that makes effective use of “practical materials” as a hobby during business.
By the way, seemingly a useful material, "a sphere like a blue ore" is really useless.
The night had already begun to spread yesterday, and sucker sampling was postponed the next day. Leaving the monsters as they are may cause extra danger. So, Aldis magically buried a vacant lot on the outskirts of the village.
Seeing the ghostly bodies disappear into the ground as if sinking into a mud, it is no surprise that the surrounding villagers have heard surprises.
Aldis hides the divine remains hidden underground and resurfaces again. Into the empty vacant lot, a large number of bizarre and young corpses appeared.
"Well, then I'll collect the suckers, will Kirill collect and burn the young in one place?"
"Yes"
After replying, Kirill hesitates to reach out to the one young boy for a moment.
"... Is it okay to grab it by hand?"
It's a dangerous monster, albeit a young one, and dead. Not to mention that he has fought, Kirill, who has never had any experience with monsters, can't help but worry.
"Haha, it's okay. There's no problem grabbing with bare hands."
Aldis affirms with an expression that makes it difficult to judge whether it is a bitter smile or a smile.
"Do you use gloves if you worry?"
"Eh, uh ... I'll do my best."
Even so, it's up to Aldis to take the odd sword that the sword calls for. Annoyance Aldis has no reason to do this.
Cyril grasps a divine young child by hand. Cyrill's bizarre touch was transmitted to both hands, and Cyrill frowned.
