"I see. I think I'm too still, so let's make some consumables and let the night be clear."

“That's right, I'll help you.”

Me and Nil crushed the world's time until dawn, making consumables that we couldn't buy.

The next day, as soon as I left, I was able to reach the city that Heine had mentioned before noon.

"Is the name of the city Nuula?" From outside the gate, I don't know how much damage it caused. ”

From the outside, it doesn't look like there was any particular damage, does it?

"It's reasonable to think that the nobility here was connected to the bandits..."

“What's happening now?”

"I wonder if those nobles escaped to the boulders?" He said he sent people from Janoya to tell him about Hunters Larrabee and Boudon. "

"If this leaves, all the inhabitants will be ruined, and there will be no remaining idiots."

As we look around, we enter a city that will be less damaged.

"It's not that rough inside, is it?"

“I'm sure this city hasn't been damaged, because it's not the same as it was before.”

It looks a little rough, but the security is not good, and it seems that it is not a beautiful city, but it just looks rough.

It doesn't feel like it's rough, and it doesn't feel like the city is well maintained.

The city is about a quarter the size of Janoya. It's not a big city, but it's not a small city.

The building facing the main street seems to be the prettiest in the city, but it is difficult to say that it is very beautiful if it is dirty or cracked. Also, if you look a little into the back from the main street, you can see houses that seem to have collapsed.

Even though it's a main street, the road is not paved, and even though it's before noon, there are drunk or dirty men sleeping on the side of the road.

"It's not a city that you want to stay too long in."

"I see... but Pilte and I have been going around the city and village all the time, but there were many cities and villages with this atmosphere."

In my journey with Nil, we started talking about making the tribal king a companion, so basically we only visited the beautiful city. However, in a world like this, there are overwhelming numbers of poorly secured cities and villages.

It hasn't changed since we've been around this world in games. However, even though the players are playing games, they want to spend their time in a city that is more beautiful than a dirty city. Therefore, players basically traveled to many large and beautiful cities. It's the same for me and Surakutan.

That's why nothing has changed just because it didn't get into my eyes.

"Heine, Pilte, and Nil, cover your face as much as possible." I don't want to be entangled in a strange place like this. "

If you see an adventurer's party with all three beauties, these people in the city will definitely get involved. Now, I know that there is no way for the three of you to fall behind like dicks, but if you start a struggle, you will spend that amount of time in vain. If I could leave the city without anything, I would never have crossed it.

And, it is basically decided that money or women are involved in what can become a struggle. If the three of you hide your faces, you won't be entangled in it first.

“Okay. We don't want to struggle, and we'll try to keep our eyes peeled.”

“It would be great if you could do that.

I will spend the night in this city today and leave first thing in the morning. In the meantime, if you need anything, I'll take turns shopping. ”

Everyone nods to my words.

The inn was found immediately, and a room a little bigger was available. It's large enough for five people to stay, so ask for one room and one night, and first secure a base in the city.

"I'll go with Heine and Pilte."

"Okay. Me and Nil will wait for you here." When we come back, we'll take turns going out to the city. "

"Roger."

The room was settled, and once calm, the slackers left the room.

Me and Nil will be waiting in the room as Ef's watchman.

After returning from shopping without any particular problems, Nilu and I go out to the city.

The time is around 3 o'clock. If you just shop, it won't take long, and you'll be able to get back to the inn by nightfall.

“Where are you going?”

I see… I'll start by buying the consumables.

"Okay, looks like the store is over there."

If Nil shows with her fingers, it's one of the most crowded places in the city. It's not that big a city, so you'll soon know where the shops are.

When I compared it to a beautiful city, I said that it was rough and I didn't want to stay for long, but the residents are normal and they are not only troublesome people if they get entangled. There are fewer of them than there are of course.

Therefore, if I just go to the store and buy something, I don't have to worry about anything in particular, and I can shop normally.

It was when Nil and I finished our shopping and were looking for the last house.

"If......"

In front of me and Nil, one of the two women appears.

Long brown hair and brown eyes. A skinny, thin body in worn-out clothes. Twenty years old... maybe a little younger. It has a body that cannot be said to be in very good nutritional condition. I'm not thin enough to feel like I'm undernourished, but... the woman's eyes feel somewhat depressed.

When Nil and I stopped, the woman slowly approached.

I'm sorry for the trouble... but the woman opens her mouth as she begins to regret not having to stop her legs.

"Will you buy me...?"

It's a rough city. It's not surprising that there's such a woman... but it's also unusual to hear her voice at times when the sun hasn't set yet. It was not the case that I was expressing my impressions.

"No, it's not necessary."

I don't feel like buying it from the beginning... Mr. Nil. Will you quell the black aura...?

Well then... let me show you around the city...

At such a time, it is normal for a woman who has been refused to leave immediately, but the woman does not like it.

I know you're losing weight and need to earn some money somehow.....

………………

A woman looks me in the eye and asks.

I can see shadows in his eyes.

It's like I'm desperate for this world, and I'm just saying I'm not dead. I have seen that eye many times.

When I lost my parents, I looked in the mirror again and again.

"Master."

Nil calls out to me in a small voice so that only I can hear you.

When you get involved with an opponent like this, it becomes a source of trouble. So, it's better to ignore this and move on. That's what Nil wanted to say.

I know that very well. But... it feels like I'm looking at my old self.

Nil also knew my situation, so she dared to call out to me thinking that she wouldn't be able to leave someone like this alone.

This kind of blind person, even if he sees only this whole city, is not one or two. Every time they call out to you, you can't stop them from fulfilling their purpose.

Besides, if you try to help one person, the others will come over.

Even if I leave the city early tomorrow morning, I don't know how many people will drop by in the meantime.

I know that. I know, but....

"... nil..."

"...... Mistress, you must be Mistress."

When I called Nil back, Nil said something happily.

"Please do as you please, Master." That's why I gave everything to you, Master. "

That's what Nil says with a smile.

Both Nil and I know it's best to ignore this woman and move on. Still, if I got involved, I'd think I could... After all, I might be sweet.

Even though I told Heine and the others not to draw in trouble, I was going to be told to imitate myself to stick my neck in trouble, but... well, let's think about the rest later.

“Okay, if you say so, show me one of the stores.”

Yes, yes!

The worn-out woman hears my reply and immediately moves.

Really, this is just self-satisfaction, and even if you give her a reward, her life won't change much. I'm not going to give you more than I can work. If you give her too much reward, she could be targeted for it.

Even if Nil told me that it was too sweet, I couldn't refute it, but if I hadn't come to this world, I'd be similar to her. Because I had a working mouth and I lived in a country where I would never become malnourished, there is such a difference, but it is the same if I say that I am only desperate and not dead in the world.

I can't just... ignore it.

One of the houses we were looking for was a short distance away, and I walked around the city with a woman who seemed to be showing me around.

What I want to go to is a shop with tools to take care of the carriage horses. I don't have a shop that specializes in tools, but I want a shop that handles horses because they sell maintenance supplies.

You can make it yourself, but there are a lot of special tools, and if you can buy them, it's faster, so you're headed to the stable.

Where are you two from?

The woman talks to us so we don't have time to show her around.

"I've been traveling a lot." It's a situation everywhere. ”

I followed the woman behind me, talking about nothing but love.

When a woman talks, it conveys that she is not a bad person. Her eyes still reflected a color of despair, but she was still trying her best to live.

When I talk to him, I see a building a little further away that looks like a stable.

I enjoyed the conversation and was happy with the information.

If Nil and I had gone around alone, it might have taken us a long time to find the stable a little further away, and it might have been nice to ask...

In front of them, Zoro Zoro and five bad men appear.

It's a common occurrence in a city like this.

The strong-faced brothers were the first women to take in customers and take them with them. It's called "Striped..." You saw us shopping, and you thought we had money.

Well... in this case, the opponent was wrong.

Nevertheless, even though I was going to pay the rundown woman properly, it was a real shame.

After all, I may be too sweet in this world.

Next to me, frustrated, Nil emits a black aura that seems to make her hair stand up against her anger. The worn-out woman in front of me and the five men who appeared... will see hell from now on. I won't kill you, but I don't think I'll ever do this again...

When you think about it in front of someone you're not particularly afraid of.....

"Finally, run away!!"

A worn-out woman stands in front of me to protect me and Nil.

I'm spreading my hands, and I'm trying to be brave enough not to let us do anything.

Her extended arms and legs tremble, and she feels terrified that she's about to fall, but she doesn't try to run away from us.

At least, it seems that this woman is not connected to the five men.

Nil's black aura disappeared.

Aren't you one of them…?

Ah, no!

A woman is scared and her voice is scraping upwards.

If it had nothing to do with the men, I thought it was normal to leave us and run away at a time like this, but... for some reason, women don't try to run away.

Of course you don't have a weapon, and if you try to help us, women won't be able to do it for free.

"Oniisan, give me some money." I'm starving to death. And a woman. I want a woman, too! Phew, phew, phew, phew! "

Five pairs looking at me while sneezing. What... is it a rule for a punk to say these things? I keep saying the same thing in every city.

"Nil, don't overdo it." Avoid the trouble of killing. ”

I understand.

Nil walked past the worn-out woman and approached the stars and the men.

"Eh?! Ahhh!!"

Looking at the woman who's desperately trying to protect us, what are you doing?! I guess that's the situation... as I said earlier, the opponent was too bad this time.

Nil stepped forward without a weapon or shield.

"Whoa?! What? Are you going to deal with onee-chan?" You're a good rider. Phew, phew! "

"That's right. I can't stand to take up any more of your master's time." I will not kill you, so bring five at the same time. "

Nil dares to use provocative language to incite the opponent.

However, I think you already know that if Nil were to do it now, it would be easier for you to do what you said.

Five at the same time? No weapons, no shields? It doesn't matter.

There is literally a difference between the heavens and the earth between the five men and Nil who are spat on in front of them. Nil can't be afraid when the opponent draws a knife and points the blade at Nil, who is provoking them.

At times like these, the dickheads always say the same thing. After listening appropriately, Nil approaches the men.

»» »» »» »» »»

"Oh, look out!"

A worn-out woman screams at Nil as she sees the men attacking her, but Nil screams at her and the men attacking her.

"Hey, what is this woman?!"

I can't hit you!

Bakiki!

"GAAAAHHHHH!!"

"The story is good, so hurry up."

Nil further taunted the opponent.

From there, it cleared up in no time. When I noticed it, I was surprised by the five men who fell as they roared and opened their mouths so much that their jaws came off.

"Oh, you're strong..."

"You have to have a lot of power to continue your journey." For now, I'm an adventurer. "

”Well, that's right... I seem to have done something unreasonable...”

"No, I don't forget that you tried to protect me even though I'm trembling so much. Thank you."

"No, no..."

"But I think it's usually a runaway scene, why did you risk your life trying to help us?"

"That's..."

"If you don't want to talk, that's fine." We just met. It's just an interest. "

"... no. It's not that I don't want to talk about it... but it's not a very pleasant story to hear."

"There's something at stake here." Will you let me hear it? "

"Well then......"

A worn-out woman looks somewhere dark and then starts talking to him.

"I did terrible things to some people about five years ago."

A terrible thing?

"Yes... I killed the two of you who tried to help me..."

"Did you kill him...?"

As far as I can tell, it's only been a few hours, but it still doesn't look like she can kill anyone. It's hard to imagine that a woman who was shivering in front of a dick would kill the people who helped her.

You mean... metaphorically, right?

"I certainly didn't kill him myself... but I did something much worse."

………………

In order to listen to the woman, I kept silent and began to talk about the bumps and what had happened before.

To summarize the contents.....

About five years ago, she lived in a different city than this one.

Even then, she seemed to live like an information dealer while showing her around the city the same way as now. By that time, she was in her mid-teenage years. It was at that time that the parents who lived as aristocrats in this city failed in their business and were stripped of their nobility. It seems that it was caused by the expulsion of the city after that.

My younger brother is sick and my father is drunk. Looks like it was the worst.

But at that time she was called out to certain men, and threatened to trick them into saving their families.

And the four of them deceived the four of them, and two of them died in the affair, when they heard of their circumstances, and tried to help them.

"...... Somewhere... that's what I heard."

"Eh?!"

When I first heard this story, I remembered Heine and Pilate. And two of my men are dead.

"... I wonder if my name is... Tetra?"

"Huh?! Ha, yes!! Yes! It's Tetra! Could it be!"

“Yeah, it was very similar to what I heard from Heine and Pilte. But… I didn't expect to actually meet the Tetra in the story.”

"Hey, where are you two?!" Um... are you okay...? "

"Oh, you're so good."

"Oh, is that so..."

I did something that I couldn't even say was good, so I don't know how it would react like that.

"You two must still resent me... if you can, I think you should offer your lives and beg for forgiveness..."

"I don't think you'd be happy to do that, because it's about Heine and Pilté."
