33 Lesson 33: Angry Past and the End of Vengeance (1/2)
When we found the con man, the cause of Mr. Liliera's village's doom, we magically kept walking with them, hiding ourselves, and finally reached the village of the village chief, the target of the con.
”Okay, we'll leave the rest for a little while, and then we'll do as we always do.”
”Ooh.”
”Hehe.”
The threesome discusses future policies from behind.
During their journey, they had heard suggestions that they would work fraud in the village of the village chief, so they had no doubt that Koitsu, etc. was the culprit who deceived everyone in Liliera's village.
Even for Mr. Liliera, I stopped worrying that I might be misremembering over the years, so I keep looking at them like I'm going to poke at them earlier.
Nevertheless, I had managed to restrain myself because I had convinced many times that if I were to catch him, I would have to hold the scene.
”Okay, please, stop hugging me every time I stop”
”No, because at this distance, I would have come into contact with them if I hadn't strangled them with wings...”
Yeah, because it's close. If it comes into contact, the magic effect will expire.
”Oh, it moved”
By the time the sky is about to darken, the threesome enters the village pretending to be a lost traveler.
And the threesome who enter the village, as per the prior meeting, tells them they want to rent an inn in this village because it is dark.
And when they said there was no inn, they said that they would pay a small thank you and succeeded in staying at the village chief's house.
And pretend to listen to the village chiefs' troubles at the dinner table, revealing themselves to be A-rank adventurers in full swing.
”Ho, are you really going to take the request?!?”
”Oh, this is on the edge of something too. I would have been banned, but I would have asked the Alliance to keep it a secret and cheap one!
”Oh, oh! You are the benefactor of our lives!! I can't give you much, but I will treat you with the utmost hospitality!
That's how the trio leader stops the mayor of the village who tried to make his wife serve him a secret booze and an extra meal.
”No, you don't have to. You guys have a hard life, don't you?
At first glance, it's a statement that seems to care about the village chief.
”Lying, simply because if you get drunk, you're in trouble when you run away.”
Liliera, who was literally watching with her eyes and nose tips, explains the trio's sincerity.
Even so, it's just me and Moffmoff asking.
A threesome of leaders came to the point against the village chief who was impressed by their care.
”I'll just have the reward paid upfront. Don't tell the guild about this one, but it's cheap to get a favor. I need to at least make sure I get my reward. Ah, I'm very unwilling to fight.”
”Yes!? Are you paying up front!?”
Suddenly he tells me to pay in advance, and the village chief is confused.
”It's nothing good if you don't like it. Nothing. We don't have to take requests.”
”Oh, that's...”
”You guys talk too much!
The leader praises the rude remarks of his companions.
”You'll be offended, but when you get a direct request without going through the guild in a small village like this, there are quite a few things that a client complains about after work and doesn't pay for it. You can't even ask the Alliance for help because you're not going through the Alliance. After all, I've been crying and sleeping for free a couple of times.”
Even though it's hard on us, the leader explains why to the village chief.
”That's why I'm talking about paying you in advance so you can be prepared to protect your village.”
”Or are you ready...”
”That's the thing. If you don't like it, you can abandon this village and move to another village with few demons”
”No, I can't believe I moved!
But then we can protect everyone in the village.
The troika points the village chief to the escape route.
If you don't want to, you can run, and you can say no.
But that's a fantastic option that doesn't seem to exist.
”... let me consult with the villagers”
That's how the village chief removes his seat.
”It's just like it was in my village. This is how the village chiefs said they were fooled.”
Mr. Liliera is still staring at the trio.
But Mr. Liliera is desperate and patient.
To ensure that their crime scene is seized.
And after a while, the village chief came back.
”Okay. Pay the reward in advance”
In the end, the village chiefs made choices they should never have made.
”That's settled.”
”Please, please protect the village”
”Oh, let it be. Let me do what I get paid to do.”
”Thank you very much.”
And the threesomes were to keep an eye on the village fields from that evening.
”I don't know why I'm riding such a suspicious story.”
”Well, a cornered human seems to have extremely narrow horizons.”
Indeed, an A-rank adventurer appears unnaturally convenient, and this also conveniently gets me a job in good faith, but I only demand the reward in advance.
Well, that's very suspicious.
”But you were cornered enough to get on with this story. We and these people...”
Having been shown who they were in the past, Liliera was distorting her face with embarrassment and anger.
◆
”Are you sure we don't want to help?
The village chief asks questions to the threesome who came to the field at night.
”I don't mind if I stay, but I can't protect you when a high-ranking demon comes out. Our job is to exterminate the demons that attack the fields. It's not even part of a request to stick your neck in it and protect a dangerous human being.”
”My foot is in the first place. We're A-rank adventurers. It's hard to fight when you have amateurs.”
”That's the thing. If you don't want your request to fail, stay honest at home. I mean, if we can fight for ourselves, there's no point in hiring us.”
If we don't get to the point where they say that, the inhabitants of the village below the village head will go home amazing.
And after no one was there, one of the threesomes groaned bossly.
”Nah helped. You were gonna keep an eye on us anyway.”
”Damn, we're in trouble. We had no choice but to do it cheaply for you.”
Even though it was so boisterous in his mouth, the men's faces laughed nigga.
◆
And when the night was much longer, they moved out.
First, they walk around the village one by one, calling it a lookout.
And after several rounds of watching, they all assembled in the field.
”We're all asleep. The guy who was watching us is sleeping too. If you want to run, now is the time.”
The nodded threesome leaves the village unattended by field watches.
Then he made a big detour around the village and came to the original street.
”Come on, then, suppose you go home”
”Oh, there's no sign of a demon coming”
”I did what I asked for the reward.”
Looks like the villagers are going to escape in anticipation of their sleeping after all.
Looks like he pretended to be working around too to alarm the villagers and see if they slept.
”I knew you were the worst fake.”
With them leaving the village ignoring the field watch, Mr. Liliera slams the spear stone poke on the ground with Don if he can't stand it anymore.
Well, don't you have to put up with it anymore when you get here?
But that was the time.
Behind the threesome, a shadow appeared.
”Duh, where are you going?!?”
That was the village chief of this village.
Apparently, the village chief was also hiding and keeping an eye on the three of them.
”No way, are you going to throw out the request and run away?
The threesome seemed like a pain in the ass to the village chief, who questioned him with a blue face.
”Oh, come on, what made you all sleep? I'm not working too hard.”
”It's not my fault. I pretended this Osama was asleep.”
”I don't need an excuse. I'm gonna finish this.”
”And the end!?”
The village chief is frightened by the threesome who pulled out his sword.
”Oops, I'm sorry for you, but I'm gonna have you dead.”
I'm going to tell you that the demons attacked you.
”Sleep quietly, and they'll just have to take the money. Curse the scarecrow and the shallowness that appeared before us.”
The trio strikes the village chief with a gruesome grin.
”Mr. Liliera, Moffmoff!
”Yes!”
”Gyu!”
I was grabbing Mr. Liliera. Get your hands off me.
At the same time, Moffmoff jumps out of my head and rushes out.
”Ha!”
”Because!”
”Cu!”
We stop the triplets from attacking the village chief.
”Hey, what are you waiting for?”
The troika shouts surprise at us when we suddenly appear.
”I'm on the side of justice!
”Hey, what!?”
The threesome that we stopped attacking rushes back.
”Yes, what the hell happened!?”
The village chief is confused about what is happening to the dizzying development.
”These three are scammers posing as A-rank adventurers! We've been watching from the shadows to catch him!
