Vol 7 Chapter 109 (2/2)
The Sixth
『And even if those idiots go through hell, it will all just repeat if the generation shi+fts Even if you teach them, idiots will perpetuate idiocy』
And to him, the Fifth quietly…
『… I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again When you ran away like that on a whim, you lack any persuasive power』
Letting the ancestors’ conversations slide, I glanced at Eva
Thinking there was no helping it, she didn’t seem to mind it all that much More so, the fact he was so serious about theto rejoice over
“Sorry This is our livelihoods, or how should I put it, our life’s on the line here, so please put up with it”
And with those words from the chief, we returned to our comrades

The next day
For once in quite a while, I didn’t have a death match with an ancestor, and was able to sleep soundly When I awoke, the sun was high in the sky, and I could hear my comrades’ voices around
I rose and stretched My body still felt heavy froue
“Did the village already finish their conference?”
Muttering that, I walked outside Monica noticed me and approached
“To only wake up just before noon, what aand cleaning, won’t you? With such a Godda me weep tears of joy, dammit”
So is she angry, or happy?
Monica presented the package in her hands to me
“What’s this?”
“There’s still a little tiht breakfast When your done, hand it to the little girl hiding in Porter, and tell her to wash it”
I opened the lid to find a sandithin
I took it in hand, and took a bite It was quite moist and tasteful
“So why is Shannon hiding?”
“Hm, when I told her there was no concept of rest in housework, she burst out that it was unfair she was the only one without a break… oh, I’ll be giving my all to make lunch, mind you, Chicken dickwad!”
While thinking that the usual was fine, I finished the sandwich, and gave my thanks
I took the container, and went over to Porter
Looking around, it seeone out
The door to Porter’s loading area was open, and Clara was sitting out of it, reading a book
It was one of the many books she had purchased for the trip
And over the trip, she had finished them all
“Rereading?”
When I called out, she nodded
And looking at the contained in irl wrapped in a blanket deeper in the golem
She’s asleep Miranda-san invited her to go around to see the village, but she returned in the middle of it, and she’s been like that since“
Returning alone, she hid and fell asleep
I hopped onto the loading area, and walked over to Shannon
And there, Aria ca
She was running off in Monica’s direction, and in a loud voice, she…
“Monica, is Lyle up?”
Seeing her bearing, Monica understood it was an urgent matter
“He’s gone into Porter’s loading tray, but did so happen?”
Aria approached where Porter was parked Monica followed along
When it was unpleasantly cold, Aria eating
“Lyle, the guys you brought up yesterday fled What’sto talk about with you, he said”
I hopped off Porter
“The chief? What business does he have with me?”
I headed off to his house with Aria, telling Clara and Monica to stay on standby
And on the way, I saw the adults of the village were also in quite a panic

When I arrived at the chief’s house, Ithere for me
The wide space of the building was filled with the notable na it feel much narrower
With a tired expression on his face, the chief addressed me
“Sorry, having you coain The truth is I’d like to supplement my request”
Hearing it was about the request, I looked around
The adults were resentful, andover their faces
“What are the contents of this amendment?”
Unless I heard it out, I couldn’t decide whether or not to take it, so I decided to finish with that first
The Contents…
“I’d like you to catch and bring the runaway idiots back We witnessed theo all the way to the forest, but it will be difficult for the villagers to search for and find them there”
The villagers cried out
“Increasing the ?”
“Chief, ain’t you bein’ a little too lenient here? This’s why I said to exile them and be done with it”
“Running off with the village’s money… this falls under your jurisdiction and responsibility, chief”
After words of dissatisfaction against the chief, they began to appraise us
“And are you fine with these adventurers? They’re just woht?”
“When the last chief was around, they always sent the competent ones”
Froes and appearances, we surely didn’t look like seasoned adventurers
But it didn’t feel nice to have that one pointed out
The chief let out a sigh
“I’ll prepare the reward for the additional request personally I’ll clean up the o home for now”
The villagers grumbled their complaints as they filtered out of the house
A few of thelances at his wife
All that reer than the chief, and us…
The chief slalared at the door
“God daet together at ti with; bastards the lot of you!”
He was quite vexed, and payed particular attention to the glances sent at his wife
The re man looked to be in his thirties
“Chief, you’ve got to proceed talks here I’ll listen to you coht?”
“S-sorry Right, can I leave it to you? In the worst case scenario, as long as you can reclaim the money they took, I’ll consider the ht too, but if you feel up to it next you enter the forest, please search for them”
Searching for kids in the vast expanse of woods, now that the monsters had increased in humbers, was a harsh task even for adults
The reas even greater than as stolen, lest he risk us not giving it back
On top of that, if we brought back the young men, ould receive an additional reward
As I accepted the quest, I addressed him
“Itchief”
“Hm? Ah, this is just the norm Even when they’re aware they can’t satisfactorily coet adventurers dispatched all the way out here… it’s only at ti headaches to a former adventurer like me Their treatment of idiots is too harsh, and because I’m an outsider, they think they can treat me the same That’s why I didn’t want to do it”
I began to sympathize with his environment, in which he was mouthed off at no matter what he did
Then why did he decide to take up residence here to start with?
I questioned it a bit, but then I remembered my past conversation with him
He said if I earned hborhood Perhaps he
“Are the other villages no good?”
Understanding theof my question, he shook his head
“They’re all the same The popular places all cost money Even places where you need a fortune just to take up residence Therefore, I chose a village where I could live cheaply, but… da”
The Man in his thirties
If you’re a true adventurer, make sure you can earn a lot“
After confir
And I could hear the chief’s lamentations behind me
