Virtuous Old Man, SSS-Rank is Confirmed in Your Next Life

05. Good people, exorcise the "hardest" bugs

"This is... terrible"

The next day, within the Alexander Alliance territory, a village named Sisk.

I came to inspect the news that something terrible had happened.

"Alec's statue has been destroyed..."

Said Mia, who brought him with me.

Before us, there was a half-baked dust and a rolling stone statue of me worn down like a bug over there.

The villagers have asked me to help them with the destruction of the statue of Dusty and Stone, more than the Goddess of Toyoshi.

"What's going on? This."

Turn around and ask Laura, the village chief of the village of Sisk.

It's a widow-like woman with a flamboyant atmosphere.

She went, with a troubled face, with an increasingly frivolous air.

"The monster showed up."

"Monsters?"

"Yes, it's a monster called Pilbug"

When she said, one of the villagers, another woman, showed up with the ball.

No, it wasn't a ball when I looked closely.

It's a worm rounded to about the size of an apple.

"It's called a monster, but can I have it normally?

"Yeah, this pillbug..."

The moment Laura tried to answer, a round pillbug suddenly moved out and jumped at Mia nearby.

Mia pays for it.

"Ah... oh, Master Alec's dress..."

Mia with sad eyes.

Some of the dresses I made for him were eaten up, and half my chest and navel were exposed to the outside air.

Kind of...... colorful.

Are you okay, Mia?

"Yes, my body is nothing"

"Good for you."

Turn to Laura.

"You attacked me."

"It's not an attack. Excuse me, but isn't that dress a magic item?

When Laura heard, I nodded.

"You know exactly what I mean."

Turn to Mia for a moment.

Dresses with the ability to resurrect like immortals, where they were eaten, quickly regenerated and returned to their original appearance as if nothing had happened.

"I see, if so, naturally. This is-"

Laura was as if nothing had happened.

Pick up the pillbug that's flat on the end of Mia's dress.

"It's an insect that eats only what is given powerful power."

"Powerful power..."

I saw Mia's dress, I saw Astalot's cheeks.

I see, is that what you mean?

I also asked the stone of the wise man.

Laura, a well-known monster as ecology, was right.

"Until now it has not been a problem, a threat. Crops, humans, normal buildings. Because it's a monster I'm not interested in at all."

Laura sighed worryingly as she put the pillbug over her palm.

That's what Sage's knowledge of stones says. Originally, a monster that does not pose a threat to the countryside at all.

"But now I have Alec's dust..."

I see.

I love pillbugs like this one and my stone statue with the protection of the goddess of abundance.

"And..."

"Yeah?"

"This too..."

That's what Laura said and offered me: a storage bag made of calamity nails.

It's a high-speed fertilizer production bag that reverses the nature of humans with weak magic.

It's also a bug eater, and it's losing its effectiveness to see.

"I see."

Nodding me.

The damage is this bag and dust.

It's all just a matter for me and only for the Alexander Alliance.

We have to do something about this.

"Ah."

Pilbug jumped out of Laura's hand and jumped on Mia again.

Complete the pieces of the dress and replace them.

When I grabbed it and caught it, it circled in my hand.

"In the meantime, let's get rid of it"

"It's no use, when it's round, it starts all kinds of attacks -"

Grab a fist, punch a pill bug.

The blow, which has gradually caught my senses, tore the pillbug in two.

It's not omnipotent, but my physical attacks outweigh magic with pure aggression.

I was a little stiff and my hands stinged, but the pillbug ripped open fine.

"- of, so... su?

And Laura, the woman who brought the pillbug.

The pillbug, which was turned into two pieces, stays on the ground and gives me pimple cramps.

"Ugh, lie. Pillbug slashed......?

"Whatever you did didn't work..."

"Damn, that's a fist now, it's a beating, why...?

I knew immediately why I was greatly surprised.

One thing I was through with was the information I got with the sage stone.

Pillbugs when rounded are the hardest of organisms.

You can't defeat them with a physical attack.

I wonder if I've done it, while deceiving you about it.

"Let's rebuild this one more than that. And bags. It's going to affect the harvest."

"Thank you. But... the pillbug..."

"It's okay, I'll take care of that"

I spent about an hour restoring the stone statue with this one.

I restored it from there to its original form because some of it remained.

"That's good."

"Thank you"

Laura thanked me, but she didn't change the look on her face worrying about something.

"Ah..."

Her gaze was pointed up.

With the feathers, several pill bugs flew in.

Looks like they just put it on the repaired dust.

"Ah...... again"

"Dear Alec, we need to get rid of that one, too."

"It's okay."

After I said that, Pilbug, who pulled some of the cheeks out, put out a mogi on the spot.

Shortly after I ate it up.

The bread, and the balloon cracked, and the pillbug bounced from the inside.

"Ko, what's this?

"I condensed my magic on that one. About a hundred times the usual."

"If you bite the surface or try to digest it, it swells all at once - just like it is now."

"I see... but if you can come by number, they'll end up eating you up?

I couldn't worry about Laura, naturally, assuming that.

"Look, look where they just ate."

"Ah... I'm going back to normal..."

"Is it the same as my dress?

Nodding towards Mia.

"Yeah, I made it possible to self-repair it to some extent"

"I didn't know you were thinking that far... oh, the pillbug flew with pieces"

When Laura said, we saw a pillbug flying in the air at the same time.

"I wonder what that means"

"You're taking it home to the nest. It's a bug, so take it home, store it, feed it to your nest buddies."

I dropped off a flying pillbug as I spoke of the knowledge I had made of the sage's stone.

Another pill bug also flies through the larger pieces.

"We should be able to eradicate every nest in a while."

"Well, even think about that...... thank you!

"Thank you! Dear Alexander!"

Laura and the villagers in the village of Sisk were a lot happier.

A new bug that was born because I gave them dust and fertilizer bags.

Pillbugs nesting around this area also have the effect of a new dust.

Only three days later, the eradication was confirmed.
