Chapter 171 – Mob Character’s Field Trip
Translator: Makisima
Proofreader: Nevermind
(In chapter 168 I used “passerby” instead of “mob character”. But Nevermind pointed out the mistake and after so consideration, I decided to use the latter for it is closer to the original aning.)
I enjoyed the refreshing morning air as I walked out of the tent.
There still were so traces left over from the last night’s banquet.
I really didn’t expect a banquet for the newcors. Various ats, wine and desserts were prepared for us, and we ate as much as we liked. Everyone was in high spirits. I also did secretly flatter Quinton as well.
“You’ve woken up, young boy?”
“Ah, hello.”
The ojisan (a word used to address a middle-aged man in Japan) who ca from countryside approached . I nodded to greet him.
“Today the mission will begin. Check your equipnt carefully.”
“Ah, that’s true.”
The way of starting sentences with ‘ah’ was my way of acting like a mob character.
In fact I was lent a second handed leather armor and a spear, because I didn’t have any. Well there was no other choice for than to accept.
The leather armor was light and thin, so it shouldn’t obstruct my movents. It’s fine for as long as it doesn’t do that, but if soone really asked if it could protect , I’m not really sure.
The spear I’ve got was a very common one. And the sword can be wielded by anyone, you don’t need any real abilities to stab the enemy in the chest. It matched my mob character’s status so I was quite satisfied.
When I equipped the whole set, I looked like a perfect mob character.
“This armor suits you well, doesn’t it?”
“Ah, no.”
“Co on, boy.”
“Ah, thank you very much.”
The ojisan from countryside and the other guy who mortgaged his wife struck up a conversation with . Although they were ard with almost the sa weapons as I was, they looked more like brigands than soldiers. But it was said that they were decent people, which surprised .
“Well, if we are in danger, we will protect you, just rest assured.”
“If you are tired, I can carry the luggage for you. I may not look like a strong man, but I’m actually the strongest person in my village!”
“If you get in trouble, just tell . I once punched a boar so hard that I sent it flying.”
These ojisans showed off their muscles they felt proud of. They were sowhat strict while kind and gentle. It seed that yesterday, all three of them decided to group up with . We would act together as a four-mber team from now on.
“Ah, thank you very much! Let massage your shoulders to repay you!”
“Oh, really? Actually, I really get stiff shoulders.”
Great! Now I can beco the mob character who flatters people and massage their shoulders.
In fact, I’d noticed that they had sowhat stiff shoulders at a glance. I was quite good at massage. I thought highly of my knowledge of the human body. Since I knew how to destroy a man, then naturally I should know how to treat him.
I touched the shoulder of ojisan sitting there, and checked his bones and muscles. The reason for this seed to be that the muscles around his shoulder blades were too stiff and his spine was sowhat distorted.
I used my wrists strength to massage his shoulders and relax his muscles. My wrists strength was limited, so I secretly injected magic to further relax his tendons and adjust his spine and shoulder blades.
Well done. Perfect.
“That’s aweso! My shoulders are as light as feathers! Oh, what’s going on?”
Ojisan smiled and shook his shoulders.
Well, I didn’t waste my efforts to practice massage skills on my sister and Alpha.
“Oh, really? Actually, my neck is also hurting.”
“I feel pain in my waist recently. Could you help with that?”
“Just, just leave it to .”
I also massaged the remaining two ojisans. Maybe being a plastic surgeon or a masseur was a better choice for . Powers in the shadows were also very proficient in dical care.
“Wow! It seems like I’m flying in the sky!!”
“Now even if a hundred people will fight against together, they won’t be my match!!”
Their happiness was the most important thing.
It was said that humans were such creatures – when one made others feel happy, that person would also feel happy. Happiness was contagious.
It turned out that indirect happiness seed to be better for .
“We are setting out! Now gather in four rows!”
Quinton issued the order. Then, our march began.
We had only one one hour break at noon, and then we kept on walking until the sun set.
Although everyone had more physical strength than modern Japanese, it was still too hard. Because of the luxurious banquet, I had thought that the work was easy. But actually the work had been laborious from the first day... No, a mob character just needed to follow the orders.
Don’t defy orders and comply with them – this was the rule every mob character should follow.
But I also saw fatigue from the faces of people around .
Night was falling. We seed to have entered the forest. I wouldn’t really be surprised if we left soone behind. Did we just walk 50 km today?
But it turns out, that no one fell behind today, after that arduous march. I guess it’s because the morale is really high in the troop. We talked a lot about high-stake gambling at the banquet yesterday.
Goldoh gathered up the people who hadn’t received any professional training to form this troop. Our only advantage was high morale.
However, even if our morale was high, it had a limit. Although it was important to have a drive to do anything, you wouldn’t get anything done if you only had a drive.
Just as I was considering, the march stopped.
“Smother the flas from now on. Don’t make too much noise.”
Goldoh stepped forward after giving instructions.
The bright moon tonight was a big help. The moonlight stread in through leaves.
With the help of the faint light, we kept marching forward in the forest for a while.
“We will take a short break here.”
Everyone sighed wearily out of relaxation, nearly falling onto the ground.
“However, don’t make any noise. Don’t whisper. Don’t light a fire.”
“But Mr. Goldoh, if we don’t light a fire, we can’t cook...”
“Don’t eat tonight.”
“Eh?”
“We are now in the neighborhood of the Rajta Count’s territory. We will raid the city at night when the dwellers have fallen asleep.”
Although everyone kept silent, a tense atmosphere spread.
“Don’t worry, I can understand your uneasiness, but we will win this battle anyway.”
In order to reassure us, Goldoh told us the details of his battle plan with a smile on his face.
