Chapter 43 - We Arrived At The Village But....
There are 2 villages that exist on the highway that connected Rinikku city and the Imperial Capital. One of them is Oishi village, it takes 5 days on foot from Rinikku city. I heard that from Orlando. We had spent plenty of ti for training before we arrive at the village. Sotis our opponent was a monster that appeared, we also faced each other regulary, we did various things.
However, I couldn’t grasp anything, there was no such a thing as inprovent on my side. Well, I think that my VIT stat was so high because I got hurt so much before, not from training. With such a feeling, we walked slowly to the Oishi village. It took us 7 days that normally only needed 5 days.
The two of us entered the Oishi village. Although it’s not so large, the surruonding village is fortified with a brick wall and there are many inns and taverns. It was completely built for people who were traveling to the imperial capital. However I couldn’t see anyone. There were no innkeepers, no custors, really no one. Orlando and looked at each other and carefully observed the surrounding while being vigilant. Orlando pulled the sword from his waist. I was also warned aru that feeling restless on my head just in case.
We proceeded slowly and reached an open space like a village square where a crowd people gathered in the center. I wondered what this commotion was about.... well, we will see later. Orlando put back the sword to its sheath and approaches the crowd.
[What’s happened here?] (Orlando)
[....!!!!]
Everyone stirred up when Orlando call out. They are staring as if appraising us, then a man ca out of the crowd.
[....and you are?]
[Ah forgive . We are travelers in the middle of our trip to the Imperial Capital from Rinikku city] (Orlando)
[Is that so.... I’m sorry but we are not in a state to received an outsider at the mont. Please continue your journey!]
[However, it seems to be a serious matter, we can lend our power if it’s needed] (Orlando)
Orlando spoke to the man with a full face smile to gain a favorable impression. Such smiling face is impossible for . The man co back to the crowd to consulting with his friends. Their flickering glance is aid towards ru instead of Orlando. I feel sothing unpleasant so I called out to Orlando.
[Hey, I feel sothing unpleasant, why don’t we pass quickly?] (Wazu)
[What are you talking about Wazu? If soone is in trouble, it’s a knights job to help!!] (Orlando)
You are not yet a knight, right? What....? You are already a knight in the heart?
Haaa.... after sighing out I tried to convince Orlando more strongly but before that happen, the man ca back and spoke to Orlando.
[I’m sorry to kept you waiting. I will tell you about the situation, so if it’s possible could you lend us your power?]
[Yeah!! Leave it to !!] (Orlando)
Whatever! When I turned my eyes wide towards the crowd of people, so people jumped out and disappeared sowhere.
[Actually the thieves had attacked a while ago, and a girls in the village had been kidnapped]
[What!? That’s a serious matter!!] (Orlando)
[So now, I thought to gather the young people in the village to take them back....]
[I understand. Because I’m confident with my power sowhat, let help too by all ans, please!!] (Orlando)
[That would be a great help]
[Of course Wazu will also co, right?] (Orlando)
Orlando asked for confirmation from , but I pretended to think without responding. Well....
For now I will reply as if were troubled.
[No, I will stays here] (Wazu)
On my reply Orlando showed an [Eh?] face and the man showed discontent face for a mont. I tell him a reason that I have to co up with.
[Maybe the thieves will co again. I will stay here so you can go over there. It’s all right, it will be simple thing with the current you now] (Wazu)
[I see.... It certainly has its danger, it’s a good idea to split our fighting force. Yoshh, I leave this place to you!! Let’s go right away!!] (Orlando)
[Eh....!?]
When Orlando said to --[I’m going]-- he took several people and went outside the village. Do your best because it was also part of the training. While looking in the direction Orlando went, the previous man spoke to .
[Eh? You are not going?]
[Hmm? I don’t want to go, because the thieves are here as well] (Wazu)
I laugh fearlessly toward the man from earlier.
[No, the thieves are----]
[First of all, even it’s true that a won and child were kidnapped, it’s impossible that no one left. Moreover, I didn’t see any young man or old man in this place] (Wazu)
[Next, this place should have a lot if villagers but there are too few people here no matter how you think about it. Although this is an Inn village but there are no costurs at all. Probably, you confined all of them sowhere in the village, right?] (Wazu)
[This is the end of my speculation, there are so of your companions who are heading there first right? the guys who left the crowd earlier went to give the news to other guys so they can launch an attack from behind. In other words, it’s a pincer attack plan. How’s that?] (Wazu)
Without uttering a word, the man clicks his tongue and gave a signal to his companion by hand. Then a group of people apeared from everywhere, surrounded as to draw a circle around . There are twice as many people as before.
[Hee!! You are quite smart despite your appearance, but there are sothings in the world that’s better unsaid. Did you think you could defeat us if the people here were reduced? Too bad!!]
He said so with a triumphant look and recived a sword from a man behind. anwhile I was lightly streching.
[One, two, ...., seven, eight, ....] (Wazu)
[....? what are you doing?]
[Eh? warming up!] (Wazu)
It’s for blowing you away.
