Chapter 82 (1/2)
We left the port town and started our journey to the hot spring town on the next day. Osen town’s hot springs district is located in the southwest direction of this town, Grave-san taught me that we need 5 days on foot to reach it.
Fish was really conspicuous when we were looking for food supplies for the journey, as expected of port town. But we abandoned the idea and purchased dried meat that would last longer instead. It seems that vegetables aren’t produced locally here.
Too bad. I could have purchased a lot fish and store it inside space-time magic if only Meru was here.

The journey to Osen town hadn't any particular problems, 2 days have passed and now is the third day. Around the noon, five men suddenly appeared in front of us while we were following the road towards Osen town.
[Stop!! Don’t move from that place!!]
[What is this?] (Wazu)
[Eee, would you mind handing over all of your money and luggage to me?]
It's bandits. Swords and knives, man in the center of the group who is holding a spear speaks to us. Their attires don't look like those of bandits at all, it's ordinary villagers clothes that make you feel a sense of cleanliness. Though their faces are truly bandit-like.
[I am afraid we can’t do that] (Freud)
While Freud give a polite reply, Grave-san showed me a face as if asking about what should we do. However, the other party didn't wait.
[It can’t be helped, you are going to leave this place stark naked. I Thought I would stop with luggage and money alone if you didn't refuse at first!!]
It seems that bandits don't intend to take our lives, I don't know whether it's a kind or not. The five bandits approached us. Okay, battle start?
When we were preparing to intercept that attack, someone suddenly ran through our side from behind and approached the man in the center. She is a good looking woman with stout figure.
Having no time to stop when it looked dangerous, the woman who was getting closer to bandits jumped in with kicking position towards the man in the center instead.
The man in the center of group didn't avoid the kick and got blown off to the back. Eh? What does this mean?
[You!! You have a child now, why don't you work properly!!]
[ [ [ [Anego!!] ] ] ]
(TL : Anego = elder sister ; Aniki = elder brother)
Hmm?
[No, even I wanted to do proper job, but the boss in my workplace was a nasty guy so I hit him without thinking and stopped!! Because of that, in order to earn my Angel's milk cost I became a bandit.....]
[Such a stupid reason!! Do you think our child will grow up into a decent person from money that you earned as a bandit!?]
[No, but.....]
[Don't give me stupid excuses!!]
They seem to be a married couple who probably just had their first baby. The father became a bandit to earn milk costs..... I want to give some money to that figure.
Although he said that it was an angel a while ago, I am curious whether their child’s name is really Angel or just a metaphor. If that is his name, it's going to be a problem in the future. Especially if their child resemble the father, further problems are likely to arise.
[By the way, what about Angel?]
[I entrusted her to father, I came after listening to mother that you might be playing banditry again!! I was ashamed and couldn't tell father]
[What is embarrassing.....?]
