Even though the Reapers would be building their own village, they were still under my control, which ant there would be a lot of work for to do as well.
However, Guden had appointed chiefs to every village and left it to them, so I decided to copy him.
“Ruma. I want you to beco the chief and lead the others.”
“As you wish.”
Good.
Ruma can do all of the work as the chief of the new village.
He led them this far, so he was clearly the right man for the job.
“As I will have to lead the others during the building of the village, I shall leave soone here with you. Soone who is the most brilliant among us.”
“Oh?”
A hostage? Perhaps not.
Perhaps this person would be a ssenger who was also useful during combat. He wanted to show how useful they could be.
“Painy, over here.”
The person who ca forward was a young girl. She was wearing gray robes like everyone else.
Her age…well, it was hard to tell how old a Reaper was. My guess was that she would be considered a teenager to humans. Perhaps fourteen or fifteen.
Her hair and eyebrows were gray. She had pale skin and was overall quite pretty, she had all the coldness of a highborn lady.
Still, she was just a young girl… Was she really strong?
“I’m called Painy. It’s nice to et you.”
She sounded young as well. However, Reapers had long lives.
Corps Commander Nehyor looked like a boy, but he was hundreds of years old.
“Hello, Painy. I’m sure you already know, but I’m Golan.”
She ca up to my waist in height.
And due to her petite appearance, she looked very odd standing next to .
Like she was a small hero who had co to slay the demon.
Several peaceful days went by after we accepted the Reapers… Well, it seed like that to . But my senses felt quite numb recently.
As for Painy, I asked her about her age, and she said that she was seventeen.
She also had a lot of mana. Three tis as much as .
Considering I had gained a considerable upgrade recently, the idea that she could still have so much seed a little ridiculous.
While it wasn’t as high as Corps Commander Nehyor, it exceeded that of the Taiga I had killed.
Currently, she was living with .
As my older brothers had been turned into at scraps on the battlefield, I was now the oldest of my siblings.
I had ant to inherit the house and continue to live with my family, but instead, they kicked out.
They said that I was a Commander now and had subordinates. Therefore I had to beco independent.
Thankfully, there was an empty house in the village. Though I did not feel very lucky at all.
Besides the house was empty because the owner had not returned from the battlefield.
If one hundred ogres go to battle, and half of them return, people would think that was a lot. That was how high the death rate was.
Many families had their lines end completely.
“Why is the job a Commander so troubleso…”
Since I had left ho and was on my own, I had to get a job and earn an inco… Well, that would have been the way things would go usually. But for so reason, I had beco a Commander.
And I was now receiving a pretty hefty salary from the Corps Commander.
So I had no trouble living. But that didn’t an I could be lazy all day.
There was a lot of work to do as a Commander.
“Now I know that Guden left all of the work to his adjutant.”
Either Rig was very good, or Guden was the type who didn’t care.
