Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

I nodded to the silent woman and turned around, letting my hand go freely.When I untied the wrist rope, I could see that the tied part was red and purple, and it was tied for a long time.

You don't want me to tell you that, but it must have been a really hard day.

"Oh dear..."

A gesture telling the woman who tried to talk to him to be quiet again.An elf woman immediately puts her hand on her mouth and swallows her words.

I looked at the outside from the gap of the waste material, but it seems that my voice has not arrived.Nil is using soundproofing magic.

"... can you walk on your own?"

After confirming that my voice can't be heard, I speak to the brown-haired elf woman.

"Yes, yes."

A woman tries to stand up, but either because she's rampaged or because of fear, her hips are slipping out and she can't stand up well.

“Just give me a minute.”

I pull out the ring on my right thumb to prove that I killed the man in the request.This is what Hanasa told me to bring.It's not expensive, it's not a ring with a special meaning, but it seems that the man who killed her always wore it.It's really just a proof.

I put the pulled ring in my waist bag and helped the elf woman who was still standing.

Are you okay?

"Yes, yes..."

I can't seem to get enough strength in my legs, and it's fluttering, but somehow it stands up.But it seems difficult to walk well.

"It will be difficult to escape like this.Is it okay to hold it a little? "

I know you don't want to be touched by a man, but I can't say that.They shouldn't be so sweet that they can walk away slowly.

"Thank you... thank you..."

When I held up a woman in the arms of a so-called princess, she was lighter than I imagined, and she almost fell backwards in astonishment.

"... don't speak up when you get out."

Yes.

I tried to hold it, but the Elf woman's body was dirty.I couldn't even bathe in the water.Do you realize that you stink? Women try to stay away from my face as much as possible.

Let's go.

I leave the abandoned house with a woman like I don't have to worry about that.

When I left the abandoned house, Nil would have lifted the spell.All we have to do is get out of here.

”... puhaha! Umuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Huh?

Ah?

Since before, isn't it so quiet?

"When I was told... it was certainly quiet."Are you asleep? "

"You, let's see how you're doing."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"If you find out, I'll be the one to beat you up later.I will refrain from doing so. If you're concerned, go on your own. ”

Apparently, she was worried because the abandoned house had become so quiet.

Let's get out of here.

Run away from the abandoned village while holding a woman.

"Hmm...? Who is it?"

What's the matter?

"No. Someone is..."

Looks like you made a good appearance.We just have to run away on the way back, and we don't have to move carefully.I thought that if I showed any signs, maybe one of them would notice, but it seemed to have worked.

Before they can check the abandoned house, we'll go back to the back where Nil waited.You'll be relieved if you step back.

"Nil. Take her."

Yes.

Put down the Elf Woman and ask Nil for the rest.

As I moved a little bit and completely separated myself from the bandits, I called out to the women.

It looks like you're not wearing slave shackles, but is there a reason?

”... that man... is trying to escape... with a smile...”

I can see that women's faces are stained with fear and anger.

It seems to have reminded me of that time, and I vomited violently.

Hanatha and the others were asked to take out the women in captivity, but without confirming, they were in fact enemies.We must make sure that nothing happens.I myself feel unkind things towards the women who have been having a hard time so far.However, you can't let your feelings lead you to danger.

"It looked like no one else was trapped, but was there only one?"

Seeing the Elf woman's mood calmed down, she continued to ask questions.

”... yes... they're all shackled by people from elsewhere...”

You must have been taken away to sell them as slaves.And it came to pass at that time, that the man that slew him did not have the shackles.Either way, the disgust of the elf woman doesn't look like an act, and she won't be a member of the handyman.

"I'm moving now, but from here on, it's okay to move slowly."If it's hard to walk, tell Nil next to you.Just a little more patience. "

"Thank you... thank you..."

Tears streaming out of the elf woman's eyes wash away the dirt on her cheeks, leaving tear lines.

We walk through the woods, watching out for the bandits, and finally get close to Tenolt.Kevin is supposed to be waiting for us between the cotton fields and the forest.Then, as we approached the area as planned, the light of the lanterns came closer.

"Ngh!!"

The Elf Woman is terrified and hides behind Nil.

Kevin is as big as a hundred and eighty centimeters.Even if it weren't, the man would be scared, but Kevin, who had a strong face, would be scared just by looking at it.

"Oops... I'm sorry. Shall we not come any closer?"

It's okay.

Nil calls out gently to the Elf woman.

Did it work out?

Yeah.

I'll take the ring out of the hip bag and give it to Kevin.

"It's definitely his."Well, I didn't think it would fail... but what about the other women? "

“It was after they took all of us.”

"Shit... you're late..."

"Rather, it's over here now."

"... that's right. Hanatha will be here in a few minutes.It would be better if Hanasa was the same woman than if I were to take her with me. ”

As Kevin said, Hanatha rushes to us right away.

When Kevin reports the current situation to Hanasa, he feels sorry for being as late as Kevin.However, instead of looking for women who don't know where they've been taken, I switch my mind that I should give priority to moving the rescued Elf woman to a safe place, and then approach the Elf woman.

Although the elf lady doesn't look as frightened as she did when she met Kevin, she's scared, except for me and Nil, who she helped from the scene.There will be women in the bandits, and I have no choice but to be scared.

However, even though I am frightened, I recognize that Hanasa can help me, and I will answer some questions.

Apparently, he lived in a small village on the west side, and the bandits attacked him and he doesn't know the state of the village.

Kevin taught me in a small voice, but apparently the village is currently being rebuilt, but it seems that the inhabitants have moved to another place, and the abandoned village is nearby.

The woman I helped was an Elf, a few years after she emigrated.She was looking after a cotton field.

"Even if you go home, you can't do it now, so you better rest well in a safe place."

“Is it a safe… place?”

"Yes, I'll take you now."Don't worry, the two of you will protect me on the way. "

"Yes, yes..."

In response to Hanatha's words, Nil and I nodded and left at once.

We'll head northwest on the carriage that Hanasa prepared for us.

Nil puts on a commander, and a lantern hanging from a carriage illuminates the road at night.

According to Hanasa, the hidden village is located all the way northwest of Janoya, between the mountains in the northwest.

The carriage takes three hours, and the monster seems to be nearby because it's in a place where people can't get close to it.Normally, Kevin would accompany me, and Kevin would eliminate the monster, but this time, me and Nil would take on that role.

Two hours after I ran the carriage.More trees, gentle slopes and beastly paths.

"I'll walk from here." Hide the carriage over here. ”

Follow Hanatha's instructions, hide the carriage, and we'll go into the mountains.The Elf woman's health has dropped, so it's a break, but if it weren't for me and Nil, she wouldn't be eaten by monsters.

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

"Oh, you're really strong..."

Hanatha was surprised to see me and Nil defeating a B-rank monster so easily.The Elf lady was pretty frightened at first, but with me and Nil at her side, she was relieved.

For now, if it's this kind of opponent.

"I didn't think there would be anyone in the world who would say that even Kevin is a pretty struggling monster like this."I don't think you'll believe a monster falls with just one sword. "

I told Hanatha about the monsters I was asked to subdue, but it was my first time showing him where I was actually fighting.We've fought SS-ranked monsters several times, and the B-ranked monsters are already among the Miscellaneous Monsters.I know that it's strange, but I always act together with comparable people, and I keep forgetting.

Is the road better this way than this?

“Yeah. It's okay. You should be able to see it soon.”

More than an hour of walking along the Beast's Way.A small village in the valley of the mountains.It is a quite small village, and because it is in the valley, it is a village that would be missed if not told.

"From here on out, watch your step."If you slip, you'll have to roll down, so no one can help you. ”

You must go down a steep slope to get into the village.

"Yes, yes."

If you're scared, why don't you carry it down?

An elf woman with low health may lose her legs.Then I thought it would be better...

"No... I want to walk on my own feet..."

I don't know if I want to feel free or go forward without the help of others, but the face of the elf woman is only a little brighter.I'm sure it's from a positive mood.

Then I'm sure you'd better let him do whatever he wants.

Nil.

Yes.

Nil slowly shrinks his distance from the Elf woman, and when something happens, he gets close enough to be able to help her instantly.

Now, even if it were, it wouldn't be like losing your life.

We're going diagonally down the valley, starting with Hanatha.Because there is no road, it is a very dangerous road, but because of that, no one will come in.

I took the time to get to the bottom of the valley.In the end, it took four hours to get to the front of the village after leaving Tenoruto.It seemed that it took a little more time than planned because it matched the Elf woman's legs.But it's much better than hurrying to get hurt.

When you come to the front of the hidden village, you can see some people in the village, and when you see Hanatha, some of them run to the back.

The village itself is as natural as possible, with trees growing normally in the village, and modest houses and small fields being created to sew between them.It reminds me of Hyrumina, the home of the Elves.Even the woman who helped you, she must be happy.

However, when you see a few people running into the back, standing near the field, and showing their faces from inside the house, you can well see that this is not a normal village.

Not all of them, but about 70 to 80 percent of them have the same shackles attached to their necks and limbs as Nil.In other words, he's a slave.

And most of the people who live there are women.Some of them are little girls.

"Just by seeing this, you know what kind of village it is."

"Yes..."

Even as Nil, there are a lot of things I think about when I look at the women in the same position.His expression darkened a little.

“I'm so relieved to be here.”

Ah, thank you!

"No, as the same woman, I can't miss their iniquity."

And... Nil-san. "

Hanasa calls out to Nil.

"I'm sorry... whether it's in the village or on the road."

"Huh?! What's the matter with you all of a sudden?!"

”If we do something like this, we won't be found out, so even a slave...”

He who treats slaves as slaves will not help them.In order to make Kevin and Hanatha think that way, they treated Nil like air in the village and in places where there was a possibility that someone else would see them.

Well, if you think about it, two people moving to help a slave or a victim won't treat a slave badly.

"Oh no! I'm fine, don't apologize!"

"... thank you."

As for Nil, I don't know how to respond to the sudden softening of Hanasa.However, I'm no different from the people who have always seen Nil as a human being.You think it's a strange feeling in the world, but as far as I'm concerned, I'm happy.

"Hanasa."

After Hanatha thanked Nil, a voice came from inside the village.

"He's Garrosa."

Walking was a man of the human race, with blue hair tied to a dumpling at the back of his head, a sluggish high nose, and brown eyes with deep carved eyes.He's a kind of man called handsome.

He's about 170 centimeters tall and, although he doesn't say he's moody, he has a snug physique.Probably, but it was a body that was trained to fight.The voice is sinister, and the age is before thirty years old.

"Did you rescue him from the man?"

"Yes, this woman."

Having said that, Hanatha introduces an Elf woman.

"Over there..."

"It's my partner. I'm Kaido.I'm an adventurer.And this is Nil. ”

Nil was shackled, so it seemed to me that he was being helped in the same way.

"Adventurer..."

Garrosa seemed a little more vigilant.If an adventurer suddenly appeared, it was natural to be alert.

But Hanatha starts talking about it.

"There was a lot going on, and..."

Hanatha gives Garrosa the ring she took from Kevin, the man I killed.

"This time, Khado-san and Nil-san did it."

"... is that so?" You should thank me first for the details later.

Thank you. "

Garrosa bowed her head.Beautiful posture. I wonder if he's from the guard.

"No, don't worry about it.They were the kind of people we couldn't forgive. "

"... oh. So... who else was in captivity...?"

In response to Garrosa's words, Hanatha frowned and shook her head to the side.

I see... it's late...

“I'll talk about it in detail.”

"I see. Let's get her first..."

"Garrosa, we'll explain the village to you, so talk to me."

The slave women who went to call Garrosa earlier gently took care of the elf women.If they were in the same situation, I'm sure they'd know how to feel, and they'd be better off than us.So we talked to Garrosa.

The houses of Tenoruto were also modest, but the houses of this hidden village were even more modest, almost all of them were made of wood or stone, and there was no elaborate decoration at all.

Simple table and chair. When we sit down, we get enough tea.By the way, it was a slave woman who served me black tea.

"First, let me introduce myself."I'm Garrosa, and I'm the one who's doing the kind of thing that this village does. ”

"Without ambiguity, I am the representative!" That's good, right? "

"Well, I guess so..."

Garosa smiled bitterly as Hanasa pointed out the polypolis and scratched around her temples.

"I'm also on the side of those who were saved, so I don't want to say that I've gone too far."No, can you tell me more about it than that? "

That's right.

Hanatha explains this in detail, and Garrosa occasionally listens while hammering each other.

"I see. Then you can trust Khado-san and the others."

Is it okay?

"You've done so much for me."It is normal to think that it is worthy of trust.Besides, I promised Hanasa that I would trust him if he fulfilled my request.If you take the option of not trusting us here, you're no different from a bandit. ”

Garrosa suddenly stood up and lowered her head.

"Thank you again. Thank you very much."Originally, it was a job I had to do, but I couldn't get out of this village, so it became like this. ”

"As I said earlier, you don't have to worry about it."

But what kind of village is this?I've heard a lot about it, but can you tell me more about it? "

"Yeah. Ask me anything."

Garrosa returns to her posture and is happy to answer questions.

Summarizing what I heard there...

First of all, as Hanasa said, it seems that this village was made up of people who were lucky to escape from slavery, people who escaped from bandits, and other victims related to Zalain.

The inhabitants are all slaves, because when slaves are found outside, they are immediately captured and forced to live as slaves, so they have no choice but to stay in this village.It seems that other people often go out to the places they want to go when they get well.

And when I say bandits, I mean handymen, and most of the people who live in this village have a grudge against handymen.However, since they were not capable of fighting, they seemed to have been in a state of constant crying and falling asleep.But there were Kevin and Hanatha.

When Kevin got to know the location of Zalain Farm and managed to escape, Garrosa found that he was still deeply wounded and unconscious and let him rest in this village.Kevin chose to leave the adventurer and return to the village to help them repay his debt.
