When I put the eight golems I created on alert to stand by and deploy Sanctuary magic, I took out my sleeping bag from the wagon and began to take a nap.

　The link with the golem in the waiting state was narrowed down to the minimum, and the only thing that flowed into me while I was napping was the presence of the golem's surroundings.


　The range in which I could pick up signs was much wider.

　I'll be able to notice the approach of demons and people quite far away with this.

　It's better not to share your vision, but sharing a hint of presence seems to be effective.


　I'm very sensitive to signs, so I mainly close my eyes and rest my body when I take a nap outdoors, and I never sleep deeply.

　So I didn't mind so much that I was sharing my presence of mind with the golem when I was taking a nap.


　After a short nap and a quick breakfast, we dismantled the golem and ran in earnest towards the Lachman Mine on the road leading into the jungle to gain distance from our pursuers again.

　We reached our destination, the village of Devon, the closest village to the Lachman mine, in the early evening.


We'll rest here for the day," he said. I'll negotiate with the villagers and get them to offer us a place to sleep somewhere with a roof. Noelia and Susana will wait here.

'S-Sorry. I thought I was used to traveling ....... I've never traveled this far in a day.

I never thought I'd be so tired: ......


　They had come from the garrison to this village almost at a run-through, although there were several short rest stops along the way. Because of this, the two of them could see the color of fatigue on their faces.


　They'd skipped what would normally take three or four days to get there.

　Alfine would be keloed, but it was hard on Noelia and Susana.

　I guess we'd better make sure we recover from our fatigue in this village.


　Seeing the two of them looking exhausted from traveling in a hurry, I had come to the conclusion that it would be a bad idea to use my own strength as a standard.


'I skipped too much, worrying about my pursuers. I'm really sorry for getting the two of you involved in my circumstances.

No, it's not because of Mr. Fricke. We're delighted to have Deidre with us.

"Bull Fifine.


　Deedle, like me, was bowing to Noelia and Susana, 'I'm sorry for getting you involved'.

　Noelia was gently stroking Deedle's mane.


'You people there, what do you want in my village!


　When the villagers found us stopped at the entrance of the village, they were armed and called out to us.

　Most of the villagers who were holding their weapons and threatening us were old men, and we could see some child beastmen mixed in with them.

　Some of the children were frightened, and some of the children's hands were shaking as they held their weapons.


''Wait!　We don't want to fight with you. However, we would like to rest here in the village and would appreciate it if you could give us a place with a roof over our heads.

'He must have come to hunt people to put them to work in the mines again, saying such things!　I told you we're not going to help you.


　An old beastman who seemed to be a representative of the village wrinkled his brows and stared at us with a stern expression.


　A man hunt to get him to work in the mine?

　What the hell are you talking about?

　What's going on in this village?


　I was upset by the hostility for some inexplicable reason directed at me by the villagers.


'Wait a minute!　What are you talking about?　We're just looking for a place to stay for the night here.

'You're lying!　Do you think we've forgotten that's how we got into the village and took all those young men with us!


　Noelia, who was watching the situation, gently pulled my sleeve and gave me an earful.


''Looking at the villagers, it seems that they may have had a quarrel with someone from outside. Do you want to leave the village once?''

''But for the future, it looks like I'd better get a good night's rest somewhere with a roof over my head. Besides, I'd like to gather up some rumors about Abyss Walker, so I'd like to clear up any misunderstandings.

"But if we're going to talk about it, you're going to have to ask them to put down their weapons. ......

"Bull Fifteen.


　As if he had heard the conversation between Noelia and I, Deedle cried out loudly and stomped the ground with his paws.

　A look of horror appeared on the faces of the villagers at this diddle's appearance.


''Kueye!


　Then from above, Dimol also descended in front of the villagers, flapping his wings as if to intimidate the surroundings.


''Hi, hi!''

They don't want a big horse monster or a big pterodactyl!

He's going to kill me!　Grandpa, help me, eeeeeeeeeeee!


　When the villagers saw what happened to Dimol and Deedle, they lost their will to fight, dropped their weapons and sat down on the ground with their backs to the ground.


'Bullfiffin'


　Deedle looks at me as if to say, 'Now we have room to talk.


　Well, it's true that we've made room for discussion.

　I can't help but feel that I gave the villagers an unbelievably bad impression.


　The moment I pulled the Deere out of its sheath and tried to thrust it into the ground to show that there was no hostility to the bent over villagers--.


"Deere will work too!　▲ ▲*■▲▲▲*!


　In order to show that there was no hostile intent, Deere, who was about to thrust it into the ground, suddenly activated his flaming sword (Flame Sword) and was covered in flames on the blade.


''Wait, Deele what!

'Hi!　Now the sword is on fire!　Don't kill me!　I obey!　I will obey!

No, just life.

I won't argue with you, please.


　The villagers had begun to rub their faces on the ground and beg for their lives when they saw Deere spewing flames from the sword barrel.


　This is completely bad, isn't it?

　I feel like they completely think I'm a villain with a giant horse, a pterodactyl and a magic sword.


''Wait, it's not!　It was just a mistake!　We have no animosity!　Here, I'll put my weapon right here!　Please raise your heads, everyone. My people have been rude to you. Don't worry, those guys will listen to what I have to say.

It was at the behest of the eagle that I pointed my weapon at you. I beg the village to forgive me, please.


　The old beastman, the village's representative, who clung to my leg as I approached him unarmed, was apologizing with a crumpled face.


''No, there have been a lot of mistakes and misunderstandings, but I'm not asking you to kill me or give me your life. Please calm down!

Please, please, please don't kill the people of this village.


　It took me a good amount of time to explain our situation to the old beastman, who clung to my leg and started crying, but I managed to clear up the misunderstanding and by the time I was offered a place to stay for the night, the sun had completely set.
