22 the tragedy in a small village.




"Sir, can we stop by the village first and report the defeat? "Captain, can we stop by the village first to report the killings and then borrow Masaru's horse?

Yes... Well, before that, do you think Masaru can ride a horse?

Of course not. I have no connection with such rich people's games. It may be a necessary skill in this world.

I've never ridden a horse, have you? I've never ridden a horse.

"Well, you can ride behind me for now. I wish we had a horse in the village that Masaru could ride. .... "Wow!

"Wow, the captain's rendezvous: .... "Wow!

I can't help but sigh at the thought of two dudes riding two dudes.

What's a rendezvous? What's a rendezvous? It sounds funny... rendezvous... rendezvous... rendezvous for the captain and Masaru!

"Guy? Forget it now! If you can't, I'll punch you as many times as I can until you lose your memory.

I forgot, sir.

Don't let your sense of smell get the better of you... and so we rode to the fishing village where the villagers had taken refuge. It's a bit of a rhetorical question, but I'll tell you what I think of the horse... my ass hurts!




"Have you returned safely, Sir Knight? We were all worried about your safety. And how are the goblins?

You're being polite, but you're not interested in anything but the outcome.

"Actually, most of them were already defeated by the time we got there. Normally, if we had defeated them, we would have given the money to the Knights, but since we only handled the aftermath this time, we would like you to prepare a reward for us for defending the village. Of course, we can assure you that we are not the ones making absurd demands. We'll make sure you don't make any crazy demands.

Some people gave me a wry look. I see, if it were true that we were paying taxes, we could have defeated him for a minimal cost if the knight protecting him had moved, but he did something unnecessary.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't afford to pay for it. .... I don't want to pay it.

I don't want to pay it, that I do! You should say that. Are you trying to hide it? I'm sure you're not the only one.

I told you so. I told you, he's not a man to make absurd demands. He just wants some water bottles and crates. And some dried fish if possible. It's definitely to his credit that the damage was minimal this time. It's a small price to pay. It's a small price to pay.

"No, but aside from a wooden box, a water bottle is an essential tool for people living by the sea. You can't drink the water from the ocean, so you don't want to give up a water bottle that can hold fresh water, don't you understand?

I don't want to pay anything, that I don't! You mean that?

Excuse me, but how many people live in that fishing village?

About forty. What does that matter?

"There were about 38 large and 26 small water bottles in the village. Of these, we used 18 large and 24 small ones. Even if you consider them as spares, how can you live with them?

"You! You've been searching our village without permission!

I was just checking to see if there were any other demons lurking around. Don't we need to make sure it's safe? And there is, isn't there? There's an obscure well with fresh water. You know, the one where the field used to be. There it is.

"Huh? I've heard that there are no fields in that village because water is too precious. Would you like to explain, Mr. Mayor?

The village chief's complexion quickly went from pale to white. At the same time, some of the men became frantic.

"If the village chief is exposed for cheating on the water bottle, he's finished and no one will follow him. You're pretty vicious yourself. "I'm a stranger.

"I'm a stranger and have no way of knowing about the fraud. "I'm a stranger and I don't know anything about cheating.

I was fully convinced that the field of weeds in the obscure location was a hidden field of illegal income that had existed on Earth for a long time, but admitting it would do no good. I was only protesting against the village chief who was trying to cheat me out of my reward by making a false report. It was just a coincidence that this led to the discovery of the fraud. It has to be that way even if everyone around you knows differently. It's tough being an adult, isn't it?

"Well, the captain has something important to discuss with the village chief, so I'm going to take a short walk. Hey!

"Hey, if you wander off by yourself now... no, that's why... .... ...Don't kill me. Don't kill me.

I don't like it. I'm not going to kill you, you're too good for that.
I'm not going to kill you.

"Hey, you there! You've done more than you should have!

In their hands were axes, machetes, knives... all of them the same men who had just been killing you. If they wanted to kill me, they could have just attacked without saying a word. Is this a form of beauty? Is there a book published on how to get beaten up by a beautiful third-rate villain? You can't take them by surprise, because if there's a difference in skill, you won't have much to play for.

It's more of a self-destruct for the village chief.



"You're the one who said that! Huh! ...

A fist slams firmly into the face of the man who is slashing at him with an axe.

You're prepared for this, aren't you?

The men are running away, crying, screaming, and falling down.

It's a little uncomfortable to run around and hit them like a boxer... needs some work. It needs some work.

"What the hell is this?

The knight baby carriage's screams echoed throughout the village.
