Chapter 71 (1/2)

According to Buff-san's story, Nidi village is a village of agriculture and pasturage that's well-known with its dairy products. Above all, cows are carefully raised and loved by everyone in the village. He seems to hurt so much because he couldn't find his cows that ran away. I mean, he preached to me about ”The Path of Cow” from my back.

Cows in the village are cute, cows produced delicious milk, etc. His love for cows is too excessive. I don't want to pay attention but he was talking behind my ears. It's a secret but I really want to run away right now. ”The Path of Inn” or ”The Path of Cow”, please spare me from any of that.

I responded to his preaching with --[I see~]-- or --[Yes~]-- but then, --[Such answers are extremely rude for a person whom pursuit the path of cow]-- I was scolded. I don't remember entering that path in the first place....

Then, we arrived at Nidi village under Buff-san's guide, but there were no figures of villagers at all. Buff-san also notices this strange situation, then screams rose from somewhere inside the village.

We heading towards the direction where the screams were heard in a hurry. Men and women of all ages were making noise in an open place of the village. Everyone didn't seem to notice our arrival because they were facing in the opposite direction. I spoke to a young man nearby while shouldering Buff-san.

[Excuse me, what's going on? What are you all doing in this place?] (Place)

[Oh, actually.... eh who are you? wait, Buff old man!! what happen? were you looking for your cows?]

What a busy person....

[Noisy.... I am fine as you can see] (Buff)

While still being carried by me, Buff-san swung around his arm in buzz. Please stop because it was dangerous.

[So Morph, what is this fuss all about?] (Buff)

Buff-san called the young man Morph, he showed a strained face when hearing Buff-san’s question. Then he approached us and spoke in a whisper.

Wait, how long should I carry Buff-san....?

[Actually.... the bandits came back again.... they attacked in a large number this time and Fluff was taken hostage a little while ago.... those guys said to give all our money and valuable things if we don't want Fluff's life in danger....] (Morph)

[What did you say!!!!!] (Buff)

Hoi calm down!! You will fall at this rate!!

[Umm, are the villagers collecting money right now?] (Wazu)

[No, we don’t have money, we has been using it all for our beloved cows.... more importantly, who are you?] (Morph)

[Oh, my name is Wazu. I came to this village to send home Buff-san who I found collapsed on the road] (Wazu)

[I see, Buff old man has been in you care, thank you very much for saving him. It would be good if we are not in this kind of situation....] (Morph)
