[Hehehe, how about it? Are you determined to hire us now? After all, you dont have any other options, just give up and sign the contract. Well, its enough if we can get all the money and eat all the food, also so won that will take care of us. Its cheap because the village can be protected with just that.]Bandit 1
The three ssengers from the bandit group made a vulgar laugh.
[.Eh?]Bandit 2
One of the ssengers made a suspicious look.
[You guys, it seems like youre getting cheeky!]Bandit 2
Yes, the last ti when they ca here with so of the big wigs, the villagers were supposed to be more odd and vague. However, this ti, they look rebellious and cheeky.
[Hey! Dont you dare look down on us just because were only 3! Okay? Were from the famous bandit !]Bandit 3
[So what?]Old Villager
[Eh?]Bandit 3
Strange. Sothings wrong.
Finally, the 3 ssengers realized that.
After they passed through the village and went to the village chiefs house, they declared an ultimatum to the village chief and several elderly people in the village. After that, the villagers were supposed to accept the terms in the contract, then they would take so young won back to base, and of course, they would take a detour on the way to have the first taste.
Therefore, it was quite hard to win the role of the ssenger, the competition was intense.
All they have to do was to take part in this sweet extra role. It was supposed to go like that
[Now, I shall tell you our answer.]Village Chief
Thus the village chief opened his mouth.
[I refuse your offer. The amount of compensation for the benefits we can get is completely above the acceptable limit. The money, the food, also the wons lives. Besides, you dont have enough credibility. So, there is no single idiot in this village who would make a contract with those who are unlikely to keep their promises]Village chief
The 3 thieves were staring at the village chief who spoke so casually with a blank face.
Finally, the words said by the village chief, have now synced in their heads.
[Wha!? What the hell are you saying? Do you know what happens if you go against us?.]Bandit 1
[Whats going to happen?]Old Villager
[Te~e, bastards! Ill show you by killing you! If we kill so of you, the people in the village would realize were a threat]Bandit 1
[Yes, confessions of being bandits, declarations of killings, intimidation, and assault by grabbing the old mans neck. The conditions for proper defense and bandit suppression have been fulfilled!]Kaoru
[Wha!?]Bandit
Five n and won suddenly appeared from the next room.
Also, their clothes and their appearances were obviously not from this village.
[You old bastards! You brought in so extras! Kill these bastards first,gue~tsu!]Bandit 1
Dosu, bashi~i~tsu!(clobbering SFX.)
While the attention of the bandits was focused at Kaoru who was talking, Francette, Roland, and Emilegentlyapproached the bandits from the side.
Roland aside, Francette and Emile couldnt overlook the bandits abusive words, the persecution, and the sword pointed at Kaoru.
The 3 bandits fell to the ground.
And Bell, whos in front of Kaoru, put her hand in her pocket and kept a low posture.
[Umu, Bell is also playing a good role. Always use that body as a shield to protect Kaoru-sama!]Francette
Kaoru was furious at Francettes words.
[So it was you!! Thats why no matter how much I educate her, I kept wondering why Belles direction of self-sacrifice would not change at all! Francette! It was your work after all! AaaaaaahhhHH!!]Kaoru
Now then, we reduced the number of bandits by 3.
When the Bandit leader first ca here with his minions, the villagers counted 29.
In other words, theres 26 more.
The 3 captured bandits, had been healed to so extent by using healing potions so that they wont die, then tied them up and forcefully fed them drugs that further reduced their tabolism. If you hit them with a neutralizer, they will never beco part of the enemys reinforcent.
Francettes group caught those 3, but thats fine. Even if we hadnt, the villagers could easily defeat them in so way, like a surprise attack with a bamboo spear, or poison in food and water. So when they decided to fight the bandits, they were determined to reduce the number of enemies by 3.
It just happens that the enraged Francette and Emile gave alittlehelping hand. But that was only a part of the villagers strategy of .
[Kaoru-sama, weve completed the reinforcent of the fence. Please have a look.]Old Villager
[Okay, I got it.]Kaoru
One of the villagers reported and stiffly stretched his back while doing so. Of course, Francette and the others ca along.
After I had decided to confront the bandits, I gave so instructions to the villagers. One of them was the reinforcent of the fence which surrounds the village.
This fence was a counterasure against monsters.
There were too many gaps and its too brittle to able to protect the villagers against human attacks. So I had it reinforced and modified so that it could be used for anti-bandit warfare.
[Yes, you did a pretty good job. Thats good enough. Then, the water buckets that I was talking about]Kaoru
The villagers floated in joy at my passing judgnt and quickly ran to carry the water buckets.
This fence was originally a protective fence to stop the montum of the charge of orcs and ogres by sticking out spears from the gap, but it was not considered to prevent the invasion of the relatively small monsters such as Goblins, Kobolds, and horned rabbits.
Of course, including humans.
It has been modified so that if you try to forcefully slip through it, the gaps will get narrow, then you will get stabbed by the sharp spikes. The part where the gap is purposely widened has such a chanism especially and carefully installed.
Of course, its poisoned.
Even in this village, there are hunters and unlicensed amateur pharmacists, so even if I dont ss with it, they can prepare poisonous traps and poisonous drugs by extracting the toxins from poisonous plants and monsters.
Several villagers ca carrying several buckets. They were moving while carefully checking the condition of the fence.
All right, Ill shake it out of my pocket and create a potion!
A convenient, mysterious chemical in a small test tube-shaped container
[Thank you very much. Now put it down there.]Kaoru
Then, I trickle a few drops of potion into the water buckets placed by the villagers on the ground.
[Now slowly and carefully sprinkle this water on the ground, under the fence, and around the spikes. Also, please apply it to the fence and the spike. It is a chemical that makes the wood sturdy. When you run out of the water, draw new water, and call . Ill mix it with the chemical again.]Kaoru
Yes, this is much better. It only strengthens the fence a little, and if you take the ti, it is possible to strengthen the fence even without the chemicals. I just saved so ti by using such an item. Its the sa as soshage(social ga) charges. Its not cheating.(TN: Like cash items in MMORPGs.)
Resistance-enhancing water
Well, you can say, imitating a certain ani, Lets call it . Now then lets check the place where it was painted or rather sprinkled The effect should appear imdiately, so it will be okay even after treatnt.
Anyway, if I try to pull the spike which is fixed to the ground, it doesnt budge at all.
Not surprising, huh.
[Fran, check the strength of the spike for a mont.]Kaoru
How about it then, with the absurd strength of Francettes strong arm and not my flimsy weak arm?
[Its quite tough.]Francette
Even if Francette did her best, the stakes and the ground around it moved just a little. Im not really asking her to though. And the spike itself has no signs of breaking
In this case, it will be difficult to destroy the fence whether you slip through the gaps or not. And if you did try to slip through the gaps, youll be in the worst place possible, for there are sharp-pointed spikes and thorns that can cause harm for the human body.
Coated with poison.
[Kaoru-chan, what should we call this chemical, or rather, the protective fence coated with chemical?]Francette
Francette asked .
Perhaps she asked it in order to write it in a book called, , which Francette secretly wrote. Though it was not available for .
However, I wont let you publish it!
No, its fine, but Id rather write my own book.
But whats the na? Hmm
When I hit it with my hand, I heard a sound and felt that its really hard.
Then, at the mont of spraying the chemical, after so ti passes and leaves only a crimson .
It becos a King and Crimson by hand
By hand,kinkuri
By hand,kinkuri
[Its , for short.]Kaoru
Umu, my Nagase clans naming sense was terrible
