40 Lesson 40: Ordinary Villages and Hunting (1/2)

We woke up in the bed at Rex's house one night after the welcome party we gave the village.

At the end of the banquet, we tried to take the inn, but when we were told there was no inn in the village, we were at a loss as to what was wrong.

So, that's when Rex's parents told us that we should stay at our place, and we decided to be sweet about it.

”Good Morning”

”Morning. I've been on a long journey, can we just slow down a little bit?

About Rex's mother. Mr. Astrea was already awake and ready for breakfast.

”No, it doesn't bother you very much.”

”Oh, you don't have to worry about that.”

No, actually, I didn't take it from my son's friends when he said he couldn't take the money if he tried to pay for the inn, and it doesn't really sweeten him to his liking.

”Is there anything I can do to help?

”Oh, I'm sorry. Then could you arrange the dishes for me?

”I'll take care of it”

As I was preparing the dishes, Norb woke up and the next thing I knew, Megri woke up.

Well, Norb's always up early to pray to God.

On the contrary, it looks like Megri drank too much of Jewel Apple's liquor at yesterday's banquet.

I'm suffering from a hangover with my head in my arms.

”It's time for dinner, so wake up Gyro”

”Okay.”

Norb turns right back and goes to wake up Gyro.

”Uh, it hurts... oh, you're all early. That's right. Young kids are fine.”

Mr. Ryde is up, but he seems to be suffering from a hangover, just like Megri.

”Mother, make me a cup of hangover tea”

”Yes. Wait a minute.”

When Astrea removed the tea leaves from the shelf, she gently added the tea leaves to the pot and poured hot water.

”Yes, please.”

”Oh, thank you. Oh, this is for hangovers after all.”

Apparently that tea works for the hangover, and the look on Mr. Ryde's face, who had suffered from the hangover until just now, soothed.

”Um, me too, I want that...”

Megri gives Astrea a cup of tea as she flirts.

I don't know how much I drink makes me so flirty.

”Yes, yes, I'll brew it right away.”

Serve Megri the tea that Mr. Astrea poured into the cup.

”Thanks...... Kupi”

Drinking the tea I had brewed as I hoofed it, the complexion of the blue-blue meguri grew better as soon as I saw it.

”Wow, this is amazing”

I'm sure that tea also uses some awesome herbs or something.

Complicated feelings swirl in my chest that I would regret hearing like I wanted to hear.

”This works great, but what tea?

”Well, that's tea made out of Arlaune petals.”

”Arlaunejee!?”

Hey, what!? Really? ALLAUNE!?

”A, when you say Arlaune, aren't you a dangerous plant type demon that attacks people!?”

Arlaune, it's about the demons of plants that look like humans.

At first glance, she's a naked beauty with green skin, but her legs are rooted and she can't walk.

And when humans approach, they are extremely dangerous demons who tease and strangle corpses from their bodies and bury them on the ground to nourish themselves.

By the way, it looks just like a human being, but I can't communicate with him or anything.

Because the essence is plants.

”Oh, it's okay. Because Al is a relaxer who loves sunshine.”

”Al!?”

Why are you calling me AKA!?

”Al picked it up when Rex was a little seedling. Then he planted it in the back field and raised it.”

Because I'm not a kitten!?

”That kid loves Rex's formulated fertilizer, he laughs so happy when he hangs it on his roots and it's cute. If you give me fertilizer, I'll thank you for the flowers and leaves, so now I'm spreading fertilizer on Al around the village.”

What is the state of the semi-normal cat crossing that neighborhood!?

But I kind of understood.

I'm sure that Arlaune was fascinated by Rex's formulated fertilizer.

I guess that's why fertilizers are more nutritious than humans, and you don't have to bother attacking them because they come from humans on a regular basis.

”I can't believe Arlaune can coexist with humans...”

I'm studying plant-based demons. I'll be happy to teach the wizard.

”Uh, I'm so sleepy.”

And finally, the idiot woke up.

I'm looking out for you, so I thought you might want to be a little more shy.

◆

”So, what are you guys going to do today?

I finished my meal and everyone had a neat after-dinner cup of tea, and Mr. Ride asked me that.

”Well, I'd like to look for Mr. Rex's textbooks as planned”

That's what I came here for.

”I'm going to show you Jewel Apple!

Megri seems obsessed with Jewel Apple, which was the subject of yesterday's banquet.

I'm obsessed. I hope I don't steal too much.

”I'm going to ask around the troubles of all the villages in need. We also want to treat those people if they are injured. If it's true, I wanted to go pray to the temple, because this village doesn't have a temple.”

Norb is a cleric, so you need to do good deeds as a training.

I don't think I can live such a cramped life.

”I'm a trainee! I feel like I could be stronger if I trained in my brother's raised village!

You can't be so convenient and strong.

Totally, if I feel strong enough, I won't have a hard time.

”Then why don't you go hunting with us?

And, Mr. Ryde invited Gyro to hunt.

”Hunting?”

”Oh, we're all going hunting in the woods outside the village today. There's not many demons out there, so why don't you go hunting with me?

Sure, real life is an important training, isn't it?

Besides, we were about to be killed by a herd of Forest Wolves the other day.

”Cheng Cheng, there's no better training than in action! Of course I'm in!

Looks like Gyro came to the same idea, and I honestly took Mr. Ryde's suggestion.

”Well, I'll get ready, so you can get ready and wait in front of the house, too”

”Whoa!”

◆

Let's go, Gyro.

”Ossu!”

Coming to Lex's brother's village, I was supposed to hunt with my brother's father.

They also have demons. Hunting is a great opportunity to train, and more importantly, it's good to be shown a cool place by your brother's father.

I'm not ashamed to be your brother's apprentice.

Then I'll join the others.

”Ugh!”

When I followed Ryde's father, I saw several figures in the village square where we had a banquet yesterday.

”Thank you for waiting.”

”Whoa, it's late, Ride.”

I said it was Kallio's old man who helped us yesterday.

Cheng Cheng, I'm sure this old man is strong. It's natural to join the hunt.

If I do anything else, the kid is wandering around.

”Bad, bad. This gyro here today. I'd like you to join me in the hunt, if you don't mind?
