Chapter 66 (2/2)

「Pii〜」

Haku sat on the ground as well, placed her mouth on the soup dish, and happily drank.

She cried with a satisfied voice.

It was a taste that even G.o.d Beasts were delighted.

「What a delicious taste. Beast-kin's dish, amazing」

「It is quite exquisite. I would even wish that our House of Gazard would buy vegetables from here」

Anna and Charlotte drank the soup with a smile.

Until they came to this village, Laura was somewhat worried whether she will be able to get along with the Beast-kin, but there was no problem at all.

Most of the problems in the world might be solved as long as the food is delicious.

「If you mention the House of Gazard; it is that house of magicians right? If you really wish to purchase our Oise Village's vegetables, we can negotiate. Human merchants occasionally come to this village after all. Our village is flexible compared to others」

The Elder ate a carrot after saying that.

「That would be great. Well then, next time, I shall mention it to Father and Mother once I have returned」

Even if it's delicious, to think that she would want to purchase vegetables from such a deep place in the mountain as an individual, I guess that rich people think differently.

I wonder how big Charlotte-san's family house is.

I really want to visit and play at least once.

「By the way, is the Princ.i.p.al-sensei still in the cave?」

「Hmm……come to think of it, we have not seen her」

There should be no need to go and call her.

Instead, we might get on the way.

After all, this might be the last time that the Great Sage and the predecessor Haku would talk to each other.

「Thank you for the meal. It was very delicious!」

After the girls had finished eating their soup, they said their grat.i.tude to the Beast-kin.

Seeing that, they answered「You're welcome」with a smile.

「Everyone, what would you like to do for today? The sun has completely set, but……if you wish to stay, we can prepare your rooms if you'd like?」(Misaki)

「U〜n……Princ.i.p.al-sensei hasn't returned, so I think we should stay for today」(Laura)

「I agree. I'm so full I don't want to move」(Anna)

「Oh, Annsan, how vulgar. Maidens should eat only 80% full you know」(Charlotte)

「And Charlotte who's saying that ate a lot as well」(Anna)

「I-I am only 80% even though I ate that much!」(Charlotte)

「Even though your stomach is a little bloated?」(Anna)

「Gunu……!」

It was that time when Charlotte was defeated by Anna in an argument.

Laura felt a hostile intent that aimed towards them from outside the village.

At the same time, Attack Magic was shot.

「Everyone, please get down!」

Although she shouted, no one was able to react.

It was natural.

They were enjoying themselves up until now, so there was no way that they would instantly feel a sense of urgency.

Because of that, Laura created a dome-shaped defense barrier that surrounded this area to protect everyone.

The Attack Magic shot from outside the village collides with that transparent wall.

A tremendous explosion was created, burning the trees in the forest.

However, not even a light particle was able to enter inside the barrier.

Nevertheless, the Beast-kin fall into panic due to the sound and the light.

「W-What was that right now?!」

「An attack from outside the village……?!」

「There's no monsters around here that can attack with such power!」

「Haku-sama, please protect us……!」

「It must be the work of humans!」

「That's right, humans are suspicious」

「They should be planning to persecute us just like in the past!!」

Confusion had spread almost infinitely just because of one Attack Magic.

Of course, the three girls do not have any reason to attack the Beast-kin.

But, they still looked at them with dubious eyes.

This village should've had interacted with humans thanks to the Great Sage.

And up until this moment, they were eating happily with the girls.

But, even so.

The s.p.a.ce that was created between humans and Beast-kins are deep trenches that are hard to fill.

In such time when a panic occurs, that difference surfaces.

Laura was petrified, not knowing what to do.

「Everyone, quiet!」

The Elder's shout echoed as if to pierce through that confusion.

「Laurdono is a human chosen by Haku-sama. There should be no reason for Laurdono and her companions to attack us. And in fact, they even protected us by making such a strong barrier. Even if that attack right now was made by humans, it should have nothing to do with Laurdono!」

Thanks to the Elder, the Beast-kins calmed down.

However, no one was able to get released of their worries because the culprit who had attacked has yet to be captured.

「Yos.h.!.+ I'll go inside the forest, and search for the culprit. My barrier should last one hour even without me so it should be enough. And so, Misaki-san. I'll leave Haku to you for a while」

「Please leave it to me. Well then, Haku-sama. Please come here」

Misaki reached out her hands towards Haku who sat on the ground.

However, Haku quickly dodged and jumped to Laura's thigh.

「Pii!」

「Hey, Haku. I'm not going out to play you know. Please wait here」

「Piii!」

It's useless. Haku won't get off at all.

「Laursan. There shouldn't be any reason to force Haku to leave behind? Being in Laursan's side, in a meaning, is to be in the safest place in the world」(Charlotte)

「I think so too. I don't know who the enemy is, but it should be an easy win if it's not the Princ.i.p.al-sensei」(Anna)

「No, well〜, I don't think they're that much, but……judging from the Attack Magic earlier, it should be an easy win this time」

Laura honestly told her impression.

Laura does not mean to get conceited, but if it is only at the level of skills of that one who attacked from the forest, it would only be a small-fry for Laura.

At least, the opponent should be weaker than Emilia. Not only that, Charlotte should be able to win as well.

So as a conclusion, no matter how many the enemies are, it is impossible for her to even get a hard time.

「Well then, we shall go with Laursan as well」(Charlotte)

「I'll defeat the enemies using the swordsmans.h.i.+p I learned from Laura's Father」(Anna)

Well, Laura knew that the two of them would say that.

That is why, she did not stop them.

The three girls planned to get revenge because their bonding time was destroyed.

「Pii〜!」

The three of them + α will get their revenge!
