1111 Calamity Day (3) - Evacuation -

We were stuck in the luggage rack, and we ended up spending some time in a very restless state.

For defensive reasons, only 10 people are packed in a single carrier.Claire-Sun, who was pushed into the same bed as me, had her eyes pale and her hand gripped by her former bloodline, Toole-Din.

Besides that, Levi and Lars, who worked at the stall next door, were also sheltered.Levi was anxious about the state of the [Kimus' Tail Pavilion], and his father, Lars, was dressed to soothe it.

Signs of disturbance have been coming from beyond the walls of the cargo holds.

However, it was the fuss of the people who came and went, and I had no idea how the hunters around the forest were doing their best.

Underneath me sitting on the floor, the Sachi stands steadfastly and watches the surroundings all the time.So far, there was no sign of a giant butterfly being turned against us, but Sachi didn't let his guard down.

(You really are a reliable family member.)

When I tried to stroke Sachi's head, I said, "I'll cum!I got a grumpy voice back. "You mean, you don't want to get in the way of my work?Sachi, who usually just fell asleep, was unbeatable today.

So, how much time has passed?

The book at the back was turned upside down, and Ei = Fa's face tightened tightly.

"In the meantime, I think we've cleared all the monsters around us."However, the commotion has not yet subsided, so you should wait for a while. "

"Yeah, sure. Did anyone get hurt?"

"We weren't the ones who got hurt."Rather than that... it seemed to me that the intent to attack humans was rather faint.There was no one coming towards us, but he seemed to be trying to feed the branches of the bushes with the desire to satisfy his hunger. "

"I see. If that was one of the bugs I knew, it would be herbivores."Maybe the clothes were meant to attack humans?Many of the costumes are made from wood fibers. "

Ei = Fa frowned deeply at my words.

"You used to call them by a strange name."What kind of bug is that? "

"Oh, the bugs I know were very harmless bugs."But I've heard that when there's a lot of maggots, they try to eat up all the grass in the forest and in the fields. "

Claire-Sun was shaking her shoulders at my words.

After waking up to you for a moment, Ei = Fa nodded, "I see."

"So that's the only grasshopper you're going to eat, right?"It was true that Azara seemed completely indifferent to the wagon and Totos.You may not be able to devour wooden walls and leatherwork, not even the bodies of men and beasts. ”

"You were lucky in the midst of misfortune."But then, the people who went down to the south side of Genos..... "

"Hmm. You might want to eat up the blessings of the forest and the crops of the fields."Moreover, since there is a small group that has flowed to the bunker town, there is a risk of damage to the middle of the forest-side village...... even the hunting ground of the facade house "

Ei = Fa's eyes glowed even more ferociously.

"If you eat up the blessings of the forest, the hungry Giba will descend into seclusion."This is a disaster that threatens the genocide itself. "

At that time, I heard the voice of Rudo = Lou.

"The noise in the street has subsided a lot."I think it's time to get Totos out, so let's get ready so that we can get halfway there with the hunter's turn. "

Rudo! Are the Taras safe?

Rimi-Lou, who was on the same luggage carrier, stood up and ran towards the entrance.Rud-Lou, who had a face beside Ai-Fa, spilled his white teeth, “Of course.”

"When I climbed the tree while killing the bugs, I saw that Dora and Yumi were well guarded by the guards.Dora's shop was surrounded by an incredible number of bugs, but I was obsessed with eating vegetables and couldn't see the people around me. "

Great! Thank you, Rudo!

Rimi-Lou jumped out of the luggage carrier and bit Rud-Lou's neck.

Rudo = Ruu smiles bitterly as she holds her cute little sister's body with one arm.

"That's why I didn't do anything."There's been a lot of fuss on the street, but it doesn't seem to have caused much damage.Rather, I think I got some hand injuries from being pushed over and crushed by the escaping person. "

Hmmm. The only thing Asta knows is that they eat grasshoppers.

Ay = Fa briefly explained, and Rud = Lou immediately tightened his expression.

"In that case, even around the forest, the blessings of the forest will be worse than humans."That's really embarrassing, isn't it? "

"Hmm. We should get back to the village as soon as possible and seek instructions from Donda-Ruu."... no, maybe Donda = Luu and the others are already in the woods. "

"Yeah. You'll know as soon as we know."All right, Kamado, get out of here.Hurry, let's get back to the village....... ah, but before I do that, I have to do something about the stalls. "

In accordance with Rudo-Ruu's words, we decided to go outside the loading platform.

As soon as you see them, they surround me with familiar faces.Whoever it was, it was a member of the architect who was supposed to eat in the cafeteria.

"No, I'm glad Asta and the others are safe!"It was such a terrible commotion! "

Maiton grabbed my hand and sighed with relief.Behind it, Baran's darling is arranging his arms at the top of the Buddha.

"It must have been just a big bug."Asta and the women on the edge of the forest won't get behind because we were able to do something about it. "

"Haha, you must be the one I was worried about the most.Let's be honest and happy about this. "

"That's awesome!" he yelled back, while Rudo-Ru, still holding Rimi-Ru's body, laughed.

"I was thinking of putting Baran and the others on the loading platform, but they stayed outside and helped me protect the loading platform."Well, almost no one approached the luggage carrier, so it wasn't dangerous. "

Yeah, and this guy, too.

Aldous points backwards with his thumb.Standing there was a girdle wetting its face and chest with blue and black slime.

"Dear Asta... I'm glad you're okay..."

That's how Gardell almost collapsed, so the equally large Ardath supported him with "oops".

"Looks like you're getting a fever."Is something wrong with your body? "

"No... I'm just tingling with old wounds..."

Gardell looked bitter and held his left shoulder.Although the trauma should have been blocked for a long time, his inner nerves and bone damage have not been fully healed, so he is still unable to return to the Guardian Militia.

"I might have gotten a fever because I had to move my injured shoulder."Asta, we're taking you back to the woods, so you should go back to the castle. "

Ai = Fa said with a stern expression, and Gardel nodded weakly, "Yes..."

"After all, I didn't do anything for you... please protect Asta-sama..."

"There's no need to be told." Asta is my family. "

Gardell's body was left in the hands of a moving guard.

We clean up the stalls and the cafeteria and get back on the loading platform.Just like the way to go, it is a composition of men and women.

Giluru's reins were accepted by Ei = Fa, so I checked the traffic from the side of the gate.But it was the guards who were coming and going, and the atmosphere was very moody.I'm sure the people of the town will flee back to their homes.

The stall area is completely idle.There were no figures left in the stall village where the innkeepers gathered.

When I stopped by the [Kimusu Tail Pavilion] and [Southern Daiki Pavilion] to return the stall, I heard that there was no damage.The people who have been in the building all this time haven't even seen the giant butterflies.However, because the customers came back in a fuss, they had the same or more knowledge of the calamity that struck the town.

"I just heard from the guards."Giant bugs came in, but they only ate grasshoppers, so there was no danger.If you were attacked, it would be aimed at the fabric of the costume, so if you want to be cautious, you should hide yourself in a leather coat. "

Milan-Mass said so.

Then there was someone in this Genos who knew the ecology of that giant butterfly.The information that humans were unlikely to be attacked was extremely gratifying, but given the damage to the forest and fields, I still could not feel at ease.

As a result, we were to return to the forest, but when we came to the road connecting the town to the forest, we heard the disturbing crushing of Ei = Fa.

"I sense their signs in the forest on the left and right."I don't have the grace to feed Gibba here... but I'm sure we'll have to get rid of it eventually. "

I couldn't help but feel the chills just because those giant bumpkins were hanging out on the edge of the woods.

This is, in a sense, a more terrible calamity than the great earthquake.If we don't sweep through the huge herds of butterflies scattered in the Morgan Forest, there's always a risk of damage.When I thought about the huntsmen's struggles, I was so worried.

"Oh, you're finally back."I'm glad you're okay. "

Meer Ray's mother greeted us with a reassuring smile in Lu 'u's village.The leather rain gear that was used during the rainy season is firmly attached to the body.

"Until just now, half of the huntsman was left behind."When I talked to the guards, they all headed for the woods. ”

"Huh. Did you come all the way here to teach me that humans are less at risk of being attacked?"That's a lot of kindness. "

"Ah. Instead, the grace of the forest is bad, isn't it?"I was told to do my best to get rid of insects today, not Gibba.That's why the guards are passing the word around to all the clans. "

We were stuck on the loading platform for at most an hour.Meanwhile, the upper echelons of Genos began to analyze the current situation and work to defeat this disaster.

"Well then, I have no choice but to go into the forest."... I'm sorry, Meer Ray-Lou, but could you keep Asta until night?I know it's not dangerous, but I'm too careless to do it alone..... "

"I got it." Well then, let's have a crackling dinner together today. "

That's why I ended up in Luu's settlement.

Ai = Fa is returning to her home with everyone else for the time being.At that time, when I said, "Be careful," I grabbed my shoulder and said, "You are the one."

"Alright, never approach the forest."Even if they only aim at clothes, if they have such sharp fangs, they will easily bite through human skin. "

"Yeah, I got it." Ei = Fa, please be careful. "

It doesn't matter. Brave and Durmua have to be very careful.

Leaving such words behind, Ai-Fa stepped onto the omnipotent platform.

Yun-Sudra and Toole-Din are peeking into your worried faces from your cargo hold.I've decided to call on you before the wagon starts.

"Well then, everybody be careful."As long as it's not dangerous, I'll give you the rest of the meal. ”

We stopped doing business a little bit past Jomtien, so half of the food from the stall was left behind.I was telling them on the way home to turn them over to the family dinner that was on duty at the stall.

"Yes. Asta, take care of yourself."We will pay for the ingredients at a later date. ”

"You don't have to worry about that."...... I'd like to say, but I'm sure the parents won't be convinced either. "

“Yes, if you're eating street food for the price of ingredients, everyone will be happy.”

Yun-Sudra smiled calmly.

Tour-Din had a sad face and looked inside the luggage carrier.When I realized it, I peered inside the luggage carrier to speak up to the person at the end of Toole-Din's line of sight.

"Klua-Sun, there are a lot of things you might think about, but don't worry too much."In the end, Klua-Sun's words helped us. "

Klua-Sun bowed silently, her eyes down.At the end of his hand, Toole-Din gripped it firmly.However, the fact that the nightmare had occurred seemed to be a great threat to Klua-Sun's heart.

"Are you done? Let's go."... Meer Ray-Lou, at night again "

Ei = Fa manipulated the reins and Gilles' wagon started.

After seeing it off, they turned backwards and prepared to enter the forest in front of the main house.

"Our hunting ground is south of the forest."There might be quite a few bugs in there. "

"Hmm. I wonder if the sword is easier to sharpen than the sword."The bow and arrows...... I don't need them anymore. "

"No. Even if our side decides to hunt insects, the hungry Gibbons will not be involved."We should be able to carry bows and arrows just in case. "

The hunters on the edge of the forest had to work on bug hunting while assuming the danger of encountering Giba.The more I thought about it, the greater the burden on the hunters.

By the way, in the village of Ruu, Ryada-Ruu and Barsha looked around the house.Moreover, it seems that, as well as wearing rain gear when going out, infants and old people were told never to go out.While taking such measures, Donda = Luu and the others headed out into the forest.

Meer Ray's mother, who was reliably watching Rudo = Ruu's appearance, turned to me and said, "Okay."

"Asta, use Saty Ray's rain gear."I'm going to have Saty Ray stay home forever. "

"Thank you. Are the Kota-Luws scared?"

"Yeah. So far, I've only seen a couple of bugs."Most people don't even see it. "

So when I disturbed the main house of Luu to borrow the rain gear, Kota-Lu jumped out from the bedroom.

"Asta! Are you all right?" Are you hurt? "

“It's okay, Rudo-Ruu and the others have protected us.”

When I stroked your little head with a smile, Kota-Lou also smiled relievedly.

And Kota = Luu, who put her eyes under my feet, opened her eyes wide.

"Um... cats, it's been a long time." Well, I've lost it. "

"Oh, since you took it in for the feast day."My name is Sachi. "

Kota-Lou, who repeatedly said "Sachi", bent down and tried to reach towards Sachi, who clung to the soil.

But Sachi turned around and stepped back out of Kota-Lou's reach.Kota = Luu looked very sorry, so I scooped up Sachi's body and offered her.

Sachi, if you scratch Kota-Lu's hand, today's dinner will be hard meat.

Sachi snaps his throat in frustration, and Kota-Lou strokes his head.The sacchi was kept in the same place as the toddlers at the evening of Lu Wu's feast, but she always escaped to the top of the beam, so she had no chance to get in touch with them.

"Sachi, it's so relaxed and beautiful, I like Kota"

Huh? Does Kota-Lou like black?

"Yeah. It's a bit of a wobble... but Asta's got a wobble."

And Kota-luw who laughs as if he were a fool.

Ziza-Lou and Donda-Lou, who would be retreating from their great misery, were quick to heal their tired hearts with this smile.

In any case, there is no work to be done at home.

It was said that the young ladies were consulting each other on the distribution of the food surplus in the shed, so I decided to let them interrupt.

"Oh, Asta, I'm glad you're okay.I didn't expect to suffer in this way. ”

Reina-Lou threw such words when she went to the Kamado hut.Recently, I took turns working on the stall business with Lara-Lou, and today was the day I stayed.

Both Reina-Lou and the ladies in the family had a clear and powerful expression.Since the huntsmen are responsible for the hardships, it must be the feeling that they have nothing to do with it.She was a clean, tough, forest-side crowd of women.

However, when I explained the bumpy ecology and the size of the herd that filled the southern sky, Reina-Lou suddenly turned pale.

"Well, then... there is a risk that not only the grace of the forest, but also the crops of Dalaym will be threatened?"

"Yes. Perhaps the south side is particularly dangerous... but Dalaym says that the village is spreading to the vicinity of Souti's village, so I'm worried about you."

"That's the villages that Dalí-Sauthi was interacting with, isn't it?"I also greeted you with a feast of praise. ”

I remember that person, too.It was said that there was a village at the southern tip of the Dalai Lama Territory when it entered the outer world on the southern road close to the village of Souti.At the feast of praise, I was also given a celebration gift and a word by the old man who served as a partitioner in the village.

"Besides, those village crops are also sold in Genos, right?"If those bugs eat up... aren't we going to run out of vegetables and potatoes in the future? "

"Yes, there is a danger."I really think this is a disaster for Genos like never before. ”

When I answered like that, Reina = Lou sighed in disbelief.

"Actually... before Donda went into the forest, I told him not to hold a study group until the situation in Genos was clear."

“Do you have a study group? Yeah, just to be careful, don't waste ingredients.”

"Yes, and if there were a swarm of insects at the edge of the forest, it might be more difficult than ever to gather firewood and pico leaves... everything was as Donda had been worried about."

When Reina-Lou answered in a sinking voice, the sachi, who had been following her for a long time, uttered a sharp voice: "Na."

I wondered if the giant bumps were coming, and I was stunned, but it was Mom Meer Ray who had disappeared and appeared in the main house.

"Asta, another messenger has arrived from the castle town."I want to say hello to Asta, so can you come over for a moment? "

Huh? What's the matter with me, the castle emissary?

You know what? It's just that Asta and I are familiar people.

As I leaned my head back, I rolled the rain gear I had borrowed from Saty Ray-Lou, and danced back to the front of the main house with Mom and Meer Ray.

What awaited him was a young man of warlords who had the same appearance as in the morning - and Gemdo, a servant of Vermes.

"Oh, was it Gemdo?" What's the matter with you going all the way out to the forest? "

"It depends on Mr. Vermes telling us to check on Mr. Asta's safety."This will be an emissary from Lord Melfried, so please listen to him first. ”

As Genos greeted with a profound baritone voice, the emissary's youth bowed.

"The mediator, H.E. Mr. Melfried, will deliver a message to the companion of Mr. Donda Leu, the Mayor of Moribe.... I'd like to have an extraordinary meeting tomorrow morning at the Castle Town Hall from the third minute up, so I'd like you to join me on time. ”

"After all, that's what I'm talking about."... yes, the mate of the Patriarch Donda = Luu, Meer Ray = Luu, did hear of it.Can you tell the other chiefs? "

"Yes, the messenger is already on his way."I know Hida is busy, but thank you for letting us know. "

Hiko? Is that the name of that creepy bug?

"Yes, that's what the junior officer has heard."

The youth of the messenger stepped down to the same position and turned to Gemdo.

Gemdo looks back at it with a gentle expressionless expression.

"I want to give you some time."Can you wait over there? "

"Yes, sir," said the emissary, and the young man returned to the Totos car, which had been parked in the middle of the square.Be careful this time, or Totos cars were coming to the forest.

"First of all, I would like to express my joy that Asta-sama is safe."Was there any damage to other people around the forest? "

After seeing the emissary's youth get into the Totos car, Jemud began to speak again.

As I squeeze my attention, I say yes.

"At least, everyone who was going down to the station town is safe."I don't know anything about the people who stayed in the village. ”

"That's what the Guardian Militia are looking for right now."... Master Asta, this is an unofficial quote from Mr. Vermes.I'm sorry, but can I ask you to do something outside of the forest? "

"Is it extra-oral?" It's a lot hard to keep secrets from the townspeople, but.... "

“Depending on the outcome of tomorrow's meeting, this story will be shared throughout Genos.However, before that, I would like to ask the three chiefs and Asta of Moribe to understand the situation.... would you refuse to be invited by Master Vermes? "

Gemdo stares at me with a calm expression on his face.

If you're not good enough, you're a gem that's harder to understand than the people of the East.I decided to raise a white flag early.

“Well, I hope you'll have a short time to keep your secrets.... what the hell are you talking about? "

“Yes, it seems that the calamity that befell Genos this time was a conspiracy of the Order of the Evil Gods.”

I was dazed, but of course Gemdo remained calm like a sea of urns.

"Well, what does that mean?"Why is Vermes doing this to you...? "

“This is the result of a star reading by the Astrologer, Lord Alyshna, who was a guest at Genos Castle.From the beginning, she sensed the existence of the Evil God Order beyond the calamity. ”

Gemdo uttered a truly astonishing words.

"This is a story I heard from Lord Melfried on the condition that Lord Vermes does not report to the capital."Lord Melfried must have made the decision to reveal his secret to Master Vermes because of the horror of the Order of the Evil Gods caused by the recent disturbances.... this time, Hida did not occur naturally, but it was a calamity revealed by the witchcraft of the Order of Evil Gods.The Order of the Evil Gods seems to have activated such a massive sorcery to destroy Genos. ”

Why does the Evil God Order have to imitate Genos?

"In Genos, we left and fought the Evil God Order on the Red Moon."All the evil cult members who had contributed to the disturbance were swept away, but it was impossible to find out where the others were based.Therefore, I wonder if the headquarters of the Order of Evil Gods, which took away the daughter of Chil-Rim, who possessed the power of star vision, and subdued more than 20 of her compatriots, activated such witchcraft to retaliate against Genos...... Master Vermes says so. "

I was surprised and forgot to hit my hammer.

Meanwhile, Gemdo's words even layered.

“Of course, the motive is just speculation.However, the star reading shows that this calamity is the witchcraft of the Evil God Order.The Evil Gods once manipulated the beasts of the forest to terrorize the people around it, but now they're trying to terrorize all of Genosu with Hida. ”

"The Evil God Sect... I remember that feeling, too... but they really did this to me."

"Yes, if you threaten the blessings of the Morga Forest, you will not be able to destroy Genos with the terrible power of Giba."The hungry Gibbons go into hiding for their crops in Dalaym and Turan.So far, the Order of the Evil Gods has planned such a conspiracy. ”

I've had the biggest chills I've ever had, but Gemdo's condition hasn't changed.

"It seems that there is not enough power left on the side of the Evil God Order to activate such a large amount of witchcraft... however, Master Hermes said that he would like to be cautious."

"It's a stunning story.You can imagine your partner getting angry from now on. "

Mother Meer Ray sighed seriously and said so.

"I think we should tell such a story to people all over the town as soon as possible."What are the aristocrats doing? "

"After all, you are wary of the ears of the kingdoms of the south."Now that H.E. Augg, who serves as an aide to the diplomat, is absent, it is irrelevant for Her Majesty to report to the capital, but it seems that the opponent will not be able to imitate the foreign prince. "

"Hmm? Because it's the power of Star Reading to find out if this is the work of a cadre of evil gods, don't you mean that he shouldn't be known by the people of the south?"I wonder if the Southern Royalty is avoiding star reading so much. "

"That's unknown. However, I'm sure the South avoids Sims' magic star reading skills... and it's still difficult to ask for silence.As Lord Genos, we must be wary of revealing the truth to His Majesty the King of Selva through the royals of the South. ”

No matter how much His Highness Dakarmas evades his Star Reading moves, he will not be able to stand up for Genos's government.However, if you tell the story to the King of Selva, Malstein will be in a bad position.

"But the Order of Evil Gods is an enemy of the Kingdom, right?"I think we should use any star reading technique to defeat it..... "

“That's all, His Majesty the King of Selva is evading the witchcraft.I also am of the king's city, and I know full well how deeply it is in my heart.His Majesty will never forgive you for moving your soldiers according to the stars. "

Neither the cult of evil gods, nor the king of Selva, who had avoided sorcery, should seem to me to be troublemakers of the same level.

But such words cannot be uttered.I swallowed various thoughts and responded, "I understand."

“Tell Vermes that you are grateful to him for taking care of me and the people around the forest.”

"Thank you. So, one last thing... would you like to have a good time with someone who will be Klua-Sun?"

I'm going to make myself tough again.

"Ku, what's wrong with Klua-Sun?Does Vermes even worry about Klua-Sun? ”

“Yes, to be precise, the person who will be Klua-Sun is the Astrologer, Alyshna.The witchcraft of the Evil God Order seems to significantly disturb the star map... and it seems to have a small impact on humans who have the power to see and read stars.In response to this wave of witchcraft, it seems that someone who becomes Klua-Sun may have received the modulation... specifically, it seems that she thinks that the power of star reading is being strengthened. "

"The ability to read stars will be strengthened... what is it possible?"

“Yes, in that case, I told Lord Alyshna that he should learn how to control his power.If Kurua-Sun were equipped with a star-viewing talent... there would be the same danger as the daughter of Chil-Rim. "

When I remembered the painful state of Klua-Sun, my whole body was covered in blood.

Meer Ray's mother replied calmly, "I understand."

"For a moment, I'll have Ryada-Ru run to Sun's village."So, let me tell my daughter, Klua-Sun, what I said...... Asta wouldn't mind, would she? "

"Yes, of course."

"Thank you again for your kind words."Tell them I'll thank them too.You know, a guy named Vermes. "

When Meer Ray's mother said so, Gemdo bowed, "Yes."

"Master Vermes is very concerned about the fate of the people around the forest, headed by Lord Asta... please take care of yourself"

Yeah. You look kind of happy.

"Huh... it's hard to thank Master Vermes so sincerely... I'm so sorry that Master Vermes couldn't face you in person."

Having said that, Gemdo opened his mouth slightly.
