286 - - CHAPTER XII FISH HEAD

Mera finishes seeing off the bandits - three soldiers of the Demon Nation - who intentionally survived.

When she sees that their backs are out of sight, she burps unceremoniously, having devoured all of them.

This corner of the grassland was stained red with the blood of the soldiers who had been smuggled into the country under the guise of bandits.

Kekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke!　To show their cruelty, they ate the demon race alive, but they all tasted so bad. I'll have a stomach ache if I don't drink one of the high quality potions later.

Of course, the "high-grade potion" was a joke by Mela.

The Mohawk adventurers, who had been disguised in the gear of soldiers of the racial kingdom, take off their helmets.

The "Oh dear ......, I don't mind dressing up as a soldier of the Kingdom of Races, but please don't let the helmets crush my mohawk.

I guess so." I put a lot of energy into this operation and made him stand up more than usual. ......"

"Although it's a tactical necessity."

Kkekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekekeke!　I don't care if you have a Mohawk - it doesn't matter if it crushes your hair. You guys are a little obsessed with that haircut, aren't you?"

Mela unintentionally interrupted the blurting out of the Mohicans.

At her point, those who were fixing their mohawks shouted their protests.

What are you talking about, Mera-sama!

This Mohawk is a venerable hairstyle that even Master Light praised!

A disparaging remark about this Mohawk!　No amount of Mera-sama will be tolerated!"

Mela is level 7777 and the Mohicans are around 20-25.

If we only look at their level, they are no match for us, and just a few minutes ago, a demon race was literally slaughtered in front of our eyes, unable to do anything about it.

Despite this, the Mohicans were warned about their obsession with their hairstyles, and they took a bite out of Mera.

Pushed by their vigor and "Light-sama also praised us," Mera apologized honestly despite the overwhelming difference in their levels.

Kekekekeke!　Wow, my bad. For making fun of your hair. I apologize, please forgive me."

Mella's apology was accepted by the Mohawks, who then questioned.

But was it good, Master Mera, ...... to be seen with us, to give us money and supplies, and then let us go?"

In advance, we crossed the border into the racial kingdom and picked up villages that were about to be attacked by demon nation soldiers dressed as bandits.

Using the rights granted by Queen Lilith of the racial kingdom, we moved those villagers to the "Giant Tower. This was to avoid unnecessary villager casualties.

And then, Mera, a group of Mohawk adventurers dressed as soldiers of the racial kingdom, were waiting for the bandits.

The girls drawing water from the well and the deformed monsters were all created by Mera by separating their bodies.

The Mohicans had thought that they would kill all the soldiers of the demon nation who were trying to exterminate the race of people in their villages by disguising themselves as bandits without causing any damage to the villagers. ......

For some reason, they were instructed to let only a few of them live and send them back to the village in a generous way.

The rest were instructed to kill them as brutally as possible in front of their eyes.

Why go through all that trouble?" I was not sure what he meant by that, and ended up asking Mera, the person in charge of this operation, a question.

In response to this question, Mera laughed and told them to blow their doubts out of the water.

Kekekekekekekekekekekekeke!　I don't know what this means either. But it was all ordered by Mr. Light. Even if I don't understand the meaning of letting those pricks who tried to attack our racial village live, even if only for a part of it, I just have to do what I'm told perfectly!

'Ohhhh...'

At Mera's statement, the Mohicans sounded convinced.

We also failed to gather information in the Dragonute Empire and were unlucky not to be able to enter the Demon Nation, and we felt sorry for Mr. Wright. So, as Mera-sama said, we should first think about completing the mission that is right in front of us!"

That's what I'm talking about, Mera-sama!"

Ah!"　This time, for the sake of Mr. Wright, I will make sure this mission succeeds!"

Inspired by Mela's words, the Mohicans raise their voices with more enthusiasm.

The morale of the Mohicans was truly sky-high.

Mera interrupted the enthusiasm of the Mohicans.

Kekekekekekekekekekeke!　It's good to be motivated, but don't say things like "bad luck" right now in front of Ice Heat. Ice Heat has been feeling down about his bad luck lately, and he's sensitive to that kind of talk."

"Yeah...... what would make Ice Heat-sama, who is equal to Mera-sama, care so much about his luck......?"

From the Mohawks who are around level 20-25, the level 7777 Mera, the Ice Heat is a supernatural being, like a cloud.

First of all, to the Mohicans who were at the bottom of the "abyss," Ice Heat is nothing more than a competent escort maid who guards the lights.

To be honest, it was hard to imagine such a supernatural being becoming so sensitive at the mere mention of the word "luck.

They had not returned to the lowest level of the "abyss" and were gathering information on the ground, so there was no way they would know about the various things that had happened between them and Miki, the "master" of the demon nation.

Mera tells them with a sigh.

Kekekekekekekekeke!　Well, a lot happened, a lot of ......"

Mela is not so foolish as to bother to mention her best friend's shame.

But perhaps her unspeakable distress was felt by the Mohicans, for they looked at each other and made a suggestion.

'Well, if it's that ......, we've only recently learned about it ourselves... Is it a folk spell of the race?　It is said that if you display a fish head in front of your front door, it will bring you good luck, or rather, purge you of evil spirits and bad things.

Oh, that."

Yes, yes, alea alea." I think we should do that thing to Mr. Iceheat, don't you?"

Kkekekekekekekekekekeke!　Fish heads are ...... you guys joking or something?"

Mella can't help but tsk tsk.

But they countered forcefully.

No, no, I'm not joking. In fact, they did it in the village where we were staying!"

We thought it was some kind of a joke at first, but the villagers gave us a good explanation!

And the elderly people were very convincing that it has the power to purge evil spirits and bad things.

Kekekekeke!　Seriously. I didn't know such a thing could work. ...... ground is surprisingly awesome. ......"

At level 7777, Mera, who is quite strong on the ground, is impressed - or rather fearful - of the customs on the ground.

If it works, I would be willing to separate at least the head of a fish from my body and display it in front of my room for my best friend. ......

Kekekekeke!"　You're not talking about a bad landscape. If Yume-sama or Nazuna-sama saw it in the middle of the night, they'd sit up and start crying, wouldn't they?"

I have a feeling that if I told Ice Heat about it, he would fill the front of his room with fish heads, 'because I feel that the more there are, the better the effect.

It's just too creepy and too fishy.

I could easily imagine the scene.

For the sake of my best friend Ice Heat, should I tell you or not? ......

While continuing to perform the duties given by the light as before, Mera pondered whether or not to talk about decorating the fish head in front of Ice Heat's room.
