167 - - Episode 10 New Life

"Aww. ......"

A girl wakes up at sunrise.

She sits up on a simple wooden bed and stops moving for a while in her shirt and underwear, her red hair in a sleep habit.

After a minute or so, she rubs her sleepy eyes and slips out of bed.

The girl - Mya - opens the wooden window and starts getting dressed to go outside, letting the fresh but cool early morning air into the room.

She straightens her sleeping habits and puts on her sorceress-style outfit.

Although she had retired from the adventuring business, she still loved the clothes and equipment she used.

He had returned to his hometown and apprenticed himself to an old medicine woman to learn pharmacy, and the stain-resistant adventurer's clothes were more convenient for him.

Originally, she had planned to rely on distant relatives and fend for herself, but a battle with Kite, an elf, somehow led Miya to learn "beginner level (fas) heel".

When it became known that she had mastered "Elementary (Fas) Heal," the village chief suggested that she become an apprentice to an old medicine woman.

The granddaughter, who is the successor to Old Medicine Woman, is currently studying in the Principality of Six in order to further improve her skills.

The village head recommended it as insurance against the possibility that she might not return, and also because it would be very reassuring if Miya, who has mastered "beginner level (fas) heeling," could learn pharmacology as well.

She herself had a hard time healing her own injuries when she was an adventurer.

If she had knowledge of pharmacology, even if it was simple, she would not need to buy expensive potions and would be able to reduce her expenses. As a former adventurer, Mya understands how useful pharmacological knowledge can be.

Above all.

(If you research pharmacological knowledge, you might be able to make a potion that can heal Mr. Dirk's burn scars. ......)

Dirk" was the alias that Wright used when he lied about his identity and treated Mya as an adventurer.

Mya respected Dirk as a sorcerer and had been helped by Bush Snake and Kite, an elf species, and had always wanted to create a burn scar healing potion for Dirk.

After Mya finishes her preparations, she finally picks up the misanga, which is carefully placed on the desk, handkerchief, and puts it on her arm.

She had made the medicine for burns for Dirk as a thank-you for his help with the bush snakes and other things he had helped her with in the past, although it was at the level of folk medicine.

The quality of the medicine was not so great because it was made by Miya, who was still an amateur at that time.

Nevertheless, Dirk thanked her by giving her a bright red misanga that matched her hair color.

Mya may not know this, but it was a magic item called "SSR, Prayer Misanga," which was discharged from Light's bounty (gift), "Infinity Gacha.

The card had a description that said, "A strong wish can bring about a small miracle.

However, when Light and his team tried to verify the effect in an experiment, "small miracles" did not occur due to the prerequisite of a "strong wish.

Therefore, it was treated as a useless item, but it looked good and was given as a gift as it might be useful.

However, thanks to this "SSR, Prayer Sanga," Miya and her brother Erio were able to live for the rest of their lives.

While she was unconscious, the misanga was broken, so she bought a new red thread to repair it and wear it again.

However, the same color as the deep "red" color of the main body of the misanga could not be found even in the most expensive stores, so Mya managed to repair it with the most expensive thread she could get her hands on.

The red of the other thread that was repaired floated away, but Miya lovingly stroked the repaired misanga.

Thanks to Mya's apprenticeship as a medicine man, her own brother Erio was allocated a portion of the farm that was enough for the two of them to eat without having to rely on distant relatives.

Erio also became the leader of the village's self-defense group because of his background as a "former adventurer with actual combat experience.

After losing their friends in the dungeon and having their lives saved by Dirk and his friends, the siblings, who were no longer adventurers, were able to establish a stable foundation for their lives in their hometown for now.

In the morning, after waking up and getting ready, the first thing Mya does is go to the well to fetch water.

Fetching water in the early morning was also a meeting place for the wives and the young girls who helped out at home.

A young girl with freckles and dull blonde hair.

A girl with the appearance of a "village girl" converses with Mya.

The conversation is about dark (light).

The conversation was about Dirk (Light).

Yes, it is. Being able to chant and destroy tactical-grade magic is a feat so great that your name should go down in the history of racial adventurers. And yet, Mr. Dirk is humble, kind, and gentlemanly, and despite his talent, he never forgets to be diligent and move forward--"

Rather than a conversation, Mya was speaking one-sidedly about Dirk.

The girl who was her counterpart was also making accustomed comments.

Several figures were watching from the shadows of the building.

Gnnnnnnn......."

I thought I was back in the village, and now I'm back in the village, and I've got this 'Dirk' in my heart!"　Mr. Elio!　Who the hell is this "Dirk"?

That's right!　What happened to Mya, the goddess of our village?

The young men of the village, the figures watching over Mya from the shadows of the building, take a swipe at her own brother, Erio.

They were supposed to learn how to handle swords and shields from Elio before breakfast. The aim was to absorb as much skill as possible and reduce the rate of injury and death when fighting monsters (mainly goblins).

For this reason, they have wooden swords and shields in their hands.

Mya's brother Erio, the village's defense leader and training instructor, responds with a stunned expression and tone of voice.

As I have told you many times, Mr. Dirk saved my life and Mya's. In a word, he is a ...... hero."

Elio just can't help but look far away.

He was almost killed by Kite, but thanks to Dirk, he was able to save his life.

Erio was amazed by Dirk's greatness from the moment he met him, and since he saved him many times, he truly believes that Dirk is a "hero" - but the young men who have never left the village don't quite get it.

But the young men, who have never left the village, are not quite convinced. "Hero" ...... is an exaggeration, no matter how much you exaggerate it," he says, understanding what they are thinking inside just by looking at their expressions without having to say it out loud.

(Although, it's hard to convey Mr. Dirk's awesomeness with just words. I understand it as soon as I see him at a glance. ......)

It is frustrating that the greatness of our benefactor is not conveyed to the public, but we cannot make a fuss and do something that will adversely affect Dirk's stock.

In order to change the delicate atmosphere, Erio changed the subject in a joking tone of voice.

As for me, I rather don't understand why you guys are so appreciative of Mya.

Hahaha. I guess being my own brother, I'm related to him, so I don't understand how cute Mya is now..."

I used to be with the other women in the village, but now that I'm in town as an adventurer, I've become more open, more cheerful, and more sparkling, unlike the women in the village!

Yes, yes!　Her face is pretty and well formed, and although it's hard to tell because of her clothes, she's very stylish for her age!

Unlike the women in the village, when I was injured and she was applying medicine to my wound, she was concerned about me, and when I thanked her, she smiled at me with a genuine smile!　Seriously, she's a goddess!"

"I'm glad you're complimenting ...... my people, but to be honest, there are a few things I can't respond to, so I'm having a hard time responding ......."

Elio presses his forehead with his free hand as if his head hurts.

He clears his throat to change his mind and

'In the meantime, I'm not going to give Mya to anyone who can't get one from me, because I'm not going to give her to anyone who can't get one from me. If you want a sister, you're going to have to train yourself to death and get stronger!"

No, no, no, I'm taking one from Erio-san. ......

I was so impressed with your strength, Erio. Yesterday, it took three of us to beat him easily, and it would be impossible for him to win a one-on-one match. ......

Like Mya, Erio's combat skills have improved greatly thanks to his kite fight and Gold's teachings.

He is so good that he can be beaten by more than one person against the young men of the village who have just begun training.

Erio lets out a wry smile and nods.

If you train hard, you will soon become as strong as me. So let's get on with the training!

At his urging, the young men move to the training area, wooden swords and shields in hand.

At the training site, Erio shares the lessons he learned from Gold with the young people of the village.
