Chapter 155

Unexpected Encounter

The next day, we went to search for Millet again, but we found it surprisingly fast .

In addition to obtaining White Millet, I was able to purchase more Yellow Millet, and I even came across a grain called Ash Wheat .

The Ash wheat is basically soba (buckwheat) . Of course, I bought lots without holding back, but grinding the soba is a little~… I won’t be able to make Udon so easily… I will have to shelve that idea for a while .

“”Sou~p, sou~p♪””

We have gathered all varieties of the Millet, so the children were in a good mood .

I should do my best by making the Millets into the soups for children as promised .

We still had time since we found what we were searching for so fast, so we strolled around the town .

However, at that moment—

“Move it——!!”

“Kyaa——”

I heard an angry voice from the front and then, I heard a scream .

Taking a look, I saw a middle-aged man holding a knife, pushing a woman away .

It seemed to be a purse s.n.a.t.c.her as the man grabbed the woman’s bag .

The people in the surroundings distanced themselves from the danger one after another, and the crowd in the main street was sent into a confusion . Isn’t that very man with a knife running towards us?

I thought of distancing ourselves so we don’t get rolled up in the matter just like the surrounding people, but thinking that it wouldn’t be good for an rank adventurer like myself to step away like the common people, I decided to stand my ground .

“… Can’t be helped . ”

“Defeat~?”

“Beat him~?”

“It’s necessary to hold back so leave it to your Oniichan . You guys wait for me here . ”

“”Got it~””

The opponent is a human . I would be troubled if the children couldn’t hold back even by a chance, so I cannot leave it to them .

I separated a little from Allen and Elena and waited for the man to approach me .

“Move away-!!”

In just a little while, the approaching man thrust his knife towards me who was obstructing his way .

I heard the sounds of men holding their breath and screams of the women .

“——!?”

Just before the man was about to stab me, something hit the man’s face which made him falter .
