Well, I doubt there’d be any problematic monsters near such a rural village anyway.
[No no, you’re supposed to deny his assessment there…….]
I refuse. Don’t want any unnecessary trouble.
I don’t want to deal with any danger either.
Well, even though I say that, I am still going to subjugate an Orc. Even I think that I’m being painfully contradictory.
While listening to Ermenhilde’s sad voice, I took another sip of the apple ale.
“Did something happen?”(renji)
“Nowadays, Orcs seem to be gathering inside the nearby forest it seems.”(bartender)
“……….fuun.”
It seems, our journey might end sooner than I expected.
Thinking that, I drained my apple ale.
“Tell me more, in detail.”(renji)
Saying that, I gave him the cup.
“Recently, Orcs seem to have settled down in the forest. And have been damaging the fields as well.”
“Well, does sound like what an Orc would do.”
As he refilled my Ale, I answered to the bartender’s words.
An Orcs eating habits are famous and the first thing that comes under damage is the fields of a village.
If the Orcs were met with resistance there, they’d go back to their dwellings and live inside the forests only but I doubt such a village would have any warrior that could face an Orc in battle.
And it doesn’t look like many Adventurers stop by here.
Probably only some travellers and peddlers would occasionally make a stop here.
Even if they send a damage report to the capital, god knows how long it’ll take for a knight squad to arrive here.
Although helping and aiding even such rural villages was also a part of the job of the knight squads but it usually takes months before they’d be able to move out here.
The number of knights isn’t very big either and not to mention there is a lack of funds.
To do anything, it costs money. It’s one thing that was same in our previous world as well.
Though there are knights who move even without money but they usually end up hated by their superiors even if they get the love of the citizens.
Basically, there’s still a long time before knights begin to move.
[Our luck is being surprisingly good for some reason.]
“It’s because we act as good people every day.”(renji)
Taking the cup from him, I gulped down half at once.
“How much can you pay?”(renji)
“You don’t really seem very strong to take a job like this. By looks at least.”(bartender)
Oh shaddup.
[That’s why I said to shave properly.]
Is it just me or are your complaints really getting more and more like as if you’re my mother?
I really want to think that I’m just imagining this.
“I have a magician comrade.”(renji)
“That young girl is a magician?”
The bartender’s face became a bit surprised.
As expected of a small village, the info about us soon travels fast to everyone.
It seems they already know that I and Miss Francesca are working in a party.
Well, it’s not really surprising though.
Villagers in a rural village are all friendly with each other. Info like this gets spread around really fast.
“She’s a student at the Magic Academy. She’s apparently top of her class.”(renji)
“Hou, that’s pretty amazing.”
It seems they he knew about the magic academy so he seems to realize that the top of the class is a trustable title.
Of course, it’s a complete lie though.
I think it’s fine to lie that much. Probably. It might even turn out to be true.
[You really get carried away with the flow and lie very normally sometimes, you know…..]
