Epilogue

It waswhen Enri woke up She quietly left the bed, so as not to wake her husband as still asleep beside her The air outside was very cold, and it et back into the bed that was still warm from their two bodies

The bed creaked as she rose, but her husband of half a year was too tired to react He slept like a puppet whose strings had been cut

Now that Enri ular schedule Thus, his deep slumber was sih it didn’t use to be like this

When they had just gotten married, he had not slept this soundly

Maybe he was nervous… But now he’s used to it, so that’s good

Enri yawned and stretched

Her bare breasts jiggled

Enri’s face flushed pink, and she reached for a piece of discarded clothing

Granted, only Enri and her husband lived in this house, but this was hardly presentable

If her little sister Nemu were here, she would definitely not be dressed like this However, Nemu would not wake up here — in the Emmott house — but in the Bareare house

Let’s not disturb the needs, her mother-in-law Lizzie had said Nemu had listened because they had decided not to rebuild the Emmott or Bareare houses And so, this had happened

It had been two years since the incident where they had lost both their parents That said, Ne to leave her big sister at night It was only by the grace of soed to accept the new arrangee, she often saw aniht also have heard about what young couples did when they vanished into the forest after leaving the dancing circle on harvest festival nights Before she realised it, she had also learned what husbands and wives did at night

However, nobody had explained it to her in detail before Enri and Nes Still, soe was as ina-san does say a lot of weird things…

Everyone in the village treated the aide of the nation’s ruler with respect Enri was one of them as well However, they could not fully accept every aspect of her personality Over the long ti: Lupusregina was a crihted in people’s reactions to her crimes, and she was the type who could watch someone fall into a trap with a s if she did not go out and say, “Please teachconcrete

On the other hand, if she did not keep an eye on Ne that Lupusregina would describe all sorts of things to Ne detail

I can teach you all sorts of adult things any tiina

After ina, Enri picked up her clothes which had fallen to the floor, and put them on

After that, she headed for the kitchen, and turned the tap on

She collected the water which flowed out in a small container She turned the faucet in the opposite direction once it was full, and the water stopped flowing

In the past, she had woken up early to draater froic item to obtain fresh water Its te or war Water, could ned by the sage of a certain country

This was not a co cities She had heard that there were certain places where gigantic versions of this item served as a city’s water supply

Enri wiped herself doith a moist towel

“Uuuu, it’s cold”

While the water’s temperature was fixed, one would still lose a lot of heat frorit her teeth and bore with it, then rubbed herself doith the towel She had done so before she slept, but still she did it again

Enri still reina had called out to her while hurin on her face — and vowed that she would never drop her guard

Still, ht that countless tie had a lot of residents now

Over 90 of theed to the Goblin Are could not support all of them

The first problem was acco down logs fro However, the problems of insufficient food and water were harder to deal with

Their initial solution to the lack of food was the produce of the forest, but they could not forage enough to support all the Goblins Therefore, they had asked Lupusregina for help, and in return they had received food aid Of course, that food was only borrowed and would have to be paid back, though fortunately there was no deadline attached

The next problee well had been sufficient, given that there had not been that e had increased so drastically, they had to set up a roster to draater all day long

Even then, they could not collect enough water, so they had to dig neells very far away If they dug the the sa if the wells would dry up

Fortunately, the Dwarves who had e had solved that proble the course of fall and winter, they had beco new o, the sound of explosions and flashes of light had been a co had settled down At hts, but that was all

The existence of the Dwarves was now an integral part of the village’s functioning

In the past, there had been no blackso to the city to buy tools, or beg the very rare travelling blacksmiths to make them for her

There had been a blacks hie’s repair ould surely lead to problems And then, the Dwarves had appeared, and they had taken up that job

Thewas that their loyalty to the Sorcerer King rivalled that of the hue had been saved several ti, Ainz Ooal Gown Anyone who heard soo up and beat the offender into a pulp

The Dwarves sees like, “That celebration ain” “Did you see how jealous they were?” “Drinking time!” and so on while they i about, but they could feel their gratitude to the Sorcerer King in their words, so the villagers opened their hearts to them

After she was finished, Enri put on her clothes

Her husband did not seeet the chores done

Until recently, her husband had been handling the task of potion- on such tasks Instead, he was involved in the storage and preservation of herbs, which would be ie’s population had increased In addition, he also helped with Enri’s work as village chief He worked hard for the village, so she had to work hard for hi outside, the fae — cae because the Goblins Enri had su quarters to it

“Alright then…”

Enri clenched her fist

In order to redients fro, General-kakka”

The fored fro she saw every , so Enri replied without any surprise:

“Good ”

“It is as you say, General-kakka According to the Goblin Weather Forecaster, it see”

“Really?”

Enri had long since abandoned any resistance to being called General

She had told thee had not gotten through At this point, being the Village Chief was prettythe General, so she had decided to accept it

Incidentally, there was a unit called the Goblin Rear Echelon Support Unit It was populated by people with rare vocations Apart from the Goblin Weather Forecaster, there was also the Goblin Strategist, Goblin Blacksmith and so on, for a total of 12 jobs

“Oh, General-kakka, it seeuard has arrived Your servant shall now excuse himself”

The black-clad Goblin faded back into the Shadows, and the familiar Redcap took his place by Enri’s side

Personally, Enri did not like the Redcaps They had an evil look on their faces; in short, they were very scary

In the past, Jugem had accompanied her, but as the forreatly-expanded Goblin force

In truth, the duty of escorting her should have fallen to the silver-armored Goblins after his departure, but for various reasons, the Redcaps had ended up filling that role
