Chapter 36: Being hugged by an old geezer will only make me sweat

Luke-sama, please, let us help as well!

It was totally possible that the former bandits were just lying to me so that they could escape, but each of them looked dead serious.

Compare that to their eyes devoid of any will to live

In any case, I used my villager appraisal on them. Much to my surprise, each of them had an [Ultra-high] village bond level.

Do not worry, Luke-sama. All of them are now faithful servants of the gods. What they uttered was no falsehood; it was their honest desire.

Oh, Millia. Just what did you do to them to change them this much in such a short amount of time?

Granny was amazing, but Millia was as well.

After she began worship meetings in the church, more and more villagers had a village bond level of [Ultra-high]. At present, such was the case for the majority of the villagers.

Apparently, even for the former bandits.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Its all the work of the gods.

O-okay

Before I knew it, Millia had become a devout priest.

Her eyes were so full of veneration. It even looked like she was gazing at the face of a godwait, why are you looking at my direction? Im just overthinking this, right?

At any rate, I decided to allow the former bandits go with the hunting team in their mission to bring to the village the ones left behind.

Obviously, making all of the people who had combat-type Gifts go at once would leave the village vulnerable, so I asked Balrath-san to stay behind.

A few days after they departed, the hunting team was back.

Oh, okay. Great job, Selenhuh? Why are the ones there tied though?

For some reason, a group in the back was tied up with rope. There were about 30 of them.

When I looked at them, they looked rough, almost ruffian-like.

Theyre bandits. They attacked us, so we fought back. Most of them are actually the bandits we failed to capture the other day.

Apparently, most of these newly captured ones were formerly part of the bandit group that attacked our village. They made a new group, but were still set on the ways of banditry.

When I looked at the tied-up bandits again, I saw the rehabilitated ones talking with them.

Oi, you guys better be grateful! Even though youre bandits, you get the chance to enter this village ruled by Luke-sama!

What happened to you all? Its like youre completely different people!

Weve been enlightened, is all. To the greatness of Luke-sama!

Did theydid they brainwash you!?

Haha! Brainwash? If understanding the greatness of Luke-sama is being brainwashed, Id happily be brainwashed over and over again.

These guys really are

Dont worry. Soon, you too will understand.

No, no, please, no.

The tied-up bandits became so terrified.

What could they have been talking about though? At any rate, we should send these bandits to jail.
