"Ugh... I'm so glad... I'm so glad..."

Nil buries her face in my chest as she bursts into tears.

I made you cry again...

I'm worried about you.

I put my hand on Nil's head, which trembles over my chest, and stroke it gently.

”Master... heh... his face is... pale... heh...”

Nil cries as she chokes up.

If I suddenly collapse in front of you... well, I'm worried...

I don't think she collapsed in an anaemia state, but she didn't bleed to pale, and I think she was a little bit pale... Whatever the reason, if Nil feels scared, that's it, this is it.

For a while, Nil kept crying on my chest, but by the time you finally stopped crying, my clothes had become incredible with Nil's tears.

That's what made me worry so much, so it's nothing like this.

"I'm sorry I fell on the way."

"No... I'm fine, I'm done."

Still snorting, Nil shook her head sideways.

"I'd like to ask you a lot of questions... but first, where is this place?"

I think I was sleeping in a room in a house somewhere...

I know I'm in a bedroom called a bedroom, such as Tans, but I'm lying outside the window and I don't even know what kind of building this is.

“This is the mansion of some aristocrat near the castle we crushed in Fjorde.”

"Who is it...?"

"The landlord here has already fled the city and decided to let me use it because it is a mansion where no one uses it."

"I see... how long have I been unconscious?"

"It's a whole day."

The windows are bright and I can see the sky just like before we got into the Mansion. It seems that she slept for nearly 24 hours.

Has Nil slept?

…………………

Look away, Nil.

"No way...."

"S-she slept a little!" If you don't go to bed, I'll worry about you when you wake up... so... "

"Are you forcibly...?"

"Ugh..."

I guess she couldn't sleep because she was worried about me, so I can't say very strongly, but Nil was also quite exhausted. If Sura Tan and the others hadn't forced him to sleep, he might have been awake for a long time...

”Maybe that's not what I said, but please mind your own body.”

"Hah... noo..."

Well... I guess I'm the one that worried you... but Nil can't help it when it comes to me. Moreover, it wasn't just impossible, it was terrible. If you don't pay attention once in a while, you may end up falling.

It's also my fault... but when I start saying that, I'm in a never-ending loop, so let's just finish this story.

"So... what happened to me, the black dog, the city...?"

Yes.

In response to my question, Nil told me more about what happened after I passed out.

To summarize the story.....

First of all, after I passed out, it seems that the black dog woman was caught quietly. Well... it seems that you've lost consciousness, and you've lost blood and fainted just like me.

After I lost my left arm, I was bleeding a lot, so I guess it was only natural.

However, before that, it seemed that the woman was in a state where she could attack, but she didn't attack, but she was a wolf anyway.

Nil's subjectivity was as if she had lost sight of her purpose with her left arm.

After that, they managed to treat me and the woman who had fallen, and the woman seemed to have taken her life.

By the way, I fell because anemia was one of the causes, but it was also the reason that I reached the peak of fatigue.

Neither I nor the woman had any symptoms such as bleeding shock. Especially for me, it would be fine if I rested for a while.

It seems that the woman hasn't regained consciousness yet, so she hasn't been able to listen. Because there is not enough blood, Heine and the others cannot read the memory by ingesting blood, and they are restrained until they recover first.

Next I heard about Bourdon.

Bourdon was supposed to have fled into the back of the room. However, I couldn't find it when I entered the back room... After securing me and the woman, I opened the door that led to the back, and Bourdon was desperately trying to clear the incredible rubble.

I don't know how many days it would take, but I saw Heine and Pilte, and my son Fuji was frightened...

As for Bourdon, Surakitan said he wanted to leave it to himself, but only Bourdon was a high-ranking person who survived this incident, and apparently detained him by hitting him with one shot and causing him to faint.

All those responsible were dead in the boulders... but the fury of the people did not subside. It is an impeccable opponent for the anger of the residents, and if they are captured alive, they will have to fulfill their responsibilities. As a spearhead, Bourdon would be quite useful, and there should be no problem.

Kevin and the others meet behind us as we capture Bourdon. He seemed to have made his way pretty quick. Bourdon handed it over to Kevin and the others.

The people who were with Kevin and the others were very angry, so it seemed that killing Bourdon would be a temporary disturbance, but Kevin would definitely plead guilty, and promised Bourdon that he would prepare a conclusion that the residents would be satisfied with, and it was settled first.

Bourdon will undoubtedly die in the hatred of his inhabitants, but it is the result of what he has done, and he will have no choice but to take it lightly.

I hear you're in jail right now to investigate residual crimes and other things that Bourdon doesn't want me to investigate, but when we're done, you'll be judged with the publication of Bourdon's crimes. I don't know if I can see that with my own eyes, but I'm looking forward to seeing a scum named Bourdon killed for his crimes.

Other remnants of the bandits who came to the city seem to have left the city and tried to flee to the north, but the surrounding villages and city people seem to have disabled many of them. This is a region where cotton is a specialty, and not only those who can fight, but if those who are close to them are killed, those who cannot fight will also take their weapons. Just like the peasants who broke into our territory with us.

The bandits who fled scattered around couldn't beat the farmers who were coming together, and most of them were killed. Thinking about the future, we should officially carry out public executions... Not many people can think of them, and most of them were killed on the spot.

However, it seems that not all of them were captured, and they were transferred to this Janoja and put in the same jail as Bourdon.

The bandits led by Barabanta are farmers, so they can't fight, so they think it's okay to force them to give in... but it's not that simple, and those who have been robbed of their loved ones get their weapons and get up.

This time, we and Kevin were there, and many things were done in the city of Janoya, but even without us, the farmers with the weapons would have broken into the city one day. In such a state, the city cannot survive, and in the first place, it is the territory where the inhabitants are. Barabanta, Bourdon, and the others on the other side were fools who didn't know that.

Next, with regard to the hostages, most of the hostages who were captured were rescued, but the victims were still there, and not all of them were intact... Unfortunately, there are many lives that could not be saved, and the number of victims in this case seems to be considerable. We still don't know the exact number, but if we go through all of this, there will be dizzying damage. I can't say that I couldn't do anything about this, but it still makes me feel dark.

About the slaves in the castle, it seems that after my treatment was finished and I was first alright, Surakitan rushed to rescue them safely. It was locked in a room with a stone wall, but it seemed to have destroyed the wall and come out. However, immediately after that, most of the castle was blown away by the wind-cutting feathers of the rock birds. It seemed that the bandits had escaped when they were stunned. Tied up by a contract with Bourdon, he couldn't help but escape and found himself wandering around on the ground.

Bourdon was alive and his orders were in effect, so he was first restrained, but then he let Bourdon rescind his contract with all his slaves and was released safely.

I haven't decided what happens after that, but now I'm hiding in this mansion where I'm lying, and when Hanatha and the others come, I'm going to ask Garrosa, the head of the hidden village, to do something about it.

As for the slaves, some of them were attacked by bandits and forced into slavery, so when you think about how to deal with them, most of the temples and aristocrats have been taken in by Boudon, and even the survival of the city is suspicious, the slave will be put off. The people who became slaves in that rut are likely to suffer badly, and if they were to be contracted even once, they would lead a life as bad as the life they had contracted with Bourdon, so it seemed that it would be better to leave it to Garrosa and the others.

In the end, it seems that we want to give such slaves a place where they can live normally, but it seems that it will be after the reconstruction of the city and other things have progressed to some extent.

The bandits have been destroyed, but the problem of slavery is still there, and it's not easy to solve, so I was just trying to figure out if it's a good idea.

As for the city, first of all, it seems that it will be the way to reconstruct it by deciding on a provisional lord among the nobles who have no connection with Bourdon.

I can't rule the city without a lot of knowledge and experience, and I'll do it because I've defeated my enemies! It is not something that can be said. There may be a backlash, but it is still good to have nobles with that kind of experience do it, so we are examining who is suitable.

"I see... it seemed like it was a lot of trouble." I'm sorry I fell down at such a time. "

No! Master, please rest!

"You can't say that either." If there's something I can do...?! "

I tried to get up, but I got dizzy and couldn't get up well, and I lay down on the bed.

Don't move yet!

Nil scolded me. I don't feel painful or painful, but I can't feel my strength anyway.

Bam!

Shinya-kun! Are you awake?!

The people who came into the room at that time were Surakutan, Heine, and Pilte.

"Everyone... worried me."

"I'm glad I noticed."

"Nil told me a general story. I'm sorry I lost my mind when I was busy."

"There's little we can do, so we don't have to worry about it." It's best to leave the city to the people of the city. We're just the rest of us. "

"... that's right..."

If we can help, we can restore buildings, hunt monsters to procure materials, and then only the people who live in this city can do something about it.

"Rather than that... you tried to get up to hear Nil-san's voice?"

Deep inside her glasses, her eyes twitched and she laughed.

"What...? What's that creepy smile...?"

”Even though Cynthia would know that we need to be at rest for a while, you are prepared to ignore us and try to be reckless again, right?”

"No, no... that's a little different."

"Pilte-san! Nil-san! Take it down!"

Yes!

Nil holds my right arm and Pilte holds my left arm and blocks my movement.

"Hey, what are you doing?! Stop!"

"If you're going to move even if you say you're going to move, I have an idea too... fufufu..."

"Hey, what is that?!" So what are you going to do?! "

"Now... be quiet."

"Giaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! It stinks!!"

Something like red and black jelly stuck in my mouth. It smells incredibly raw and my nose is about to explode.

Pilte and Heine are laughing and picking their noses.

“This is blood from Blood Football.”

"I'm so glad!"

Speaking of blood from Blood Football... Tana from Eagle Crowe, her sister Ralbert, said she was weak and that she was a strong drug she regularly sent.

"It's famous for being a strong agent, but it also acts as a blood booster." Eat this and increase your Mole Blood! "

"It's okay, it's okay! I'm okay now!"

"What's the guy who was lying down just now talking about?" Here. There's still time left, so let's finish eating. "

"Wow, you're having fun, aren't you?! Huh?!"

"I'm having fun?!" This is how I worry about you and kill your heart! It's terrible! "

I can see that it's an act, and it's a slap in the face that imitates crying.

"Master."

Sinya-san...

"Huh?!"

"This is for Master's sake."

"Take your medicine and get well."

"Guuu..."

Nil and Pirte's honest, glittering eyes are looking at me.

"Suratan! Did you plot it?!" Using Nil and Pirte is cowardly!! "

"Kukukuku... I can't help but find out."

Let 'S cum!!! "

I took a bite and put it in my mouth, but this time, I brought a jelly-like blood container to my mouth.

"NGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

When it comes to the medicine I was taking in Japan, there was a lot of tasteless and odorless products, but I knew very well at this time that it was due to the consideration of the drinking side.

Since everyone has survived safely, the tension is rising and I'm kidding, but it's because I'm alive that I can do it. This is how you can be stupid thanks to everyone.

The smell really stinks, but...

"Oh, it stinks terribly... Mr. Label can drink it regularly like that..."

“Um, I think that's because I'm drinking something after processing it so it doesn't smell.”

"Hey?! If you have such a thing, isn't that good?!"

"I need a lot of medicine and ingredients right now, so I don't think it would be nice just to be able to drink medicine like this."

"Ahh... that's right..."

I fell down too, but there are a lot more serious people. If you think that it is to make the medicine go around to people like that, it is happy to be able to take the medicine with this smell. There is a weight in the words of Suratan, who was originally at a pharmaceutical company. Let's listen to what you have to say.

Well, it was my harassment that made me drink it as it was.

Weight of words?!

"Haha, well, I just didn't have the time to do that." From now on, I'll get rid of the smell. "

"Ah... thank you."

Hmm. Great!

I feel like I've been tricked... but I think I'm fine.

"Besides, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Talk?

Yeah.

Suratan suddenly became a serious face and looked towards Heine.

"I'm talking about the black dog woman I caught."

Encouraged by Suraitan, Heine sits on a chair next to her bed and starts talking.

"What have you figured out?"

"It's not like I understand, but a little about the black dog..."

“Let me hear it.”

"Yes... after capturing the woman, of course, we took off our robes and checked her face, but her race was the Dark Elves."

Dark Elf…? Is it different from Elves?

The Dark Elf is a name I often see in fantasy, but in the world of Van der Ju, it's a race I've never seen before.

As for the ordinary Elves, they are involved with the Holy Knights, and I know them quite well, but I don't know anything about the Dark Elves.

"Yes, the Dark Elves are a completely different species from the Elves."

What about the elves…?

"I don't even know the details, but the Dark Elves are a race that doesn't act with ordinary Elves." I've heard that although the ears are long and the part of living in nature is the same, the skin color is pale and dark, and I specialize in dark magic, and my physical abilities are higher than those of elves. "

That's a pretty rough explanation, isn't it?

"Yeah... that's because the Dark Elves are said to be extinct."

An extinct race...?

According to Heine, the Dark Elves were originally a small number of races, and it was said that they were extinct after losing the competition for survival in an era when there was war a long time ago.

Before it went extinct, it was said that it was a member of the demon race.

"For once, I checked with the other black dogs, but they were all dark elves."

An exterminated race is an assassin unit under the direct authority of the Demon King...

"When it comes to the demon race, I can't even talk about it around here, so I negotiated with Kevin and the others first so that we could keep him in captivity."

Even if I had left behind the Dark Elves, I would still have a lot of important information about the Demon Realm, such as the forces directly under the Demon King and the Dark Squad.

If the demon world's information leaked from there, the demon world might be in trouble.
