1117 Days of Reconstruction ② ~ Reunion ~

"Damn it! I just took my eyes off it and it's making such a fuss!" Genos is like a town where you can't be quiet! ”

While speaking like that, Dialle laughs like a fat ass. Behind them, Servant Lavis chased after Dialle.

"Asta and I were talking about resting at the stall yesterday, so I was too busy wondering when we'd meet!" Ah, I just arrived in Genos just now! Normally, I would arrive at Jomtien, but I was worried about Asta, so I ran the wagon before the sun went up! "

Mars, the lead, shouted "Hey" when Dial's words that rehearsed like a machine gun broke off.

“If you stop in a place like this, you'll get in the way. The destination is right in front of you, so don't stop and tell me."

"Ah, I'm sorry. Dial, is that all right?"

"Yes, of course! I've spoken to Yumi a lot already!"

When we resumed the steps we had been stopped from taking, Dial followed in a bouncing footsteps. It is like a puppy who has seen her husband for the first time in several days.

Since Dial returned to his hometown around the end of Zhu's month, more than two months have passed. Originally, I heard that Dial had been coming home for two months, so I wondered when he would come back. Until a few days ago, I thought so. - Because of the noise surrounding Hida, I was completely unhappy about Dial.

"I'm glad Dial looks better."... but I was surprised at first because I had a slightly different impression. "

"Huh? You haven't changed that much in a little over two months!"

"But look, that hair."

Dial had short hair like a boy's, but now he had his jagged hair tucked in the back. That's exactly what a small tail grew on, but it doesn't make a difference.

But Dial turned bright red for some reason and stared at me.

"It's okay!" My furry hair hits my neck, so I'm just wrapping it in a string! If I stretch my hair, will Asta be annoyed? "

"No, I didn't say that... but I'm sure Dialle will look good on her long hair, too."

"When I say noisy!" "Dial slapped me on the shoulder." It was fortunate for everyone that Ei = Fa was blind.

I arrived in the space while making such a noise, so I decided to tell Dialle while preparing the stall. The guards, who rendezvoused with the Luu family and swarmed up to 40 people, surrounded the stall in an unobstructed manner, and Jilbe and Sachi waited at my feet.

"So, you told me that Genos had left early in the morning because you were worried." Where did Dialle hear such a rumor? "

"Everywhere I went, I was on my way with the Genos army!" With such a large army rushing toward Jagal, I was wondering what the hell was going on! Moreover, since you've tampered with the people around the forest, it's even more so! "

While saying that, Dialle gently drew his face closer.

"So, I was going to ask you about the situation in the town where you stayed last night... but it's not just about being conscripted by the people around the forest!" How big was that army? "

"Half a battalion, 500 people." In addition, there are 100 troops in the southern capital of the kingdom, and 36 hunters in the forest. "

"Wow, that's amazing! That's mostly war!"... but if the opponent is the Evil God Sect, that's how much strength you need. "

Dial breathes as she feels it. In the Red Moon, she was still in Genos, so the disturbances surrounding the Order of the Evil Gods were clear.

"Ah! Also, I just met Baran and the others at the southern end of Dalai Lama!"

"What? Why are you guys in such a place?"

"Hida ate it to the roof of the house, right?" The villagers had to do something about the field, so the Balans were supposed to fix the roof! I was glad to see that it was going to prolong my stay in Genos again! "

After saying it like that with a smile, Dial immediately became a serious expression. It was her personality and charm that changed her expression.

"The village was also along the street." I rushed to stop the car when I saw Balan and the others working. Those villages over there... they looked terrible. I only knew about Hida, but I never imagined it was such a horrible thing. Not only the fields and the roofs of the houses, but also the surrounding bushes. That's how I felt when I touched the wrath of God. "

The wrath of God... even though God is a god or an evil god.

"Yes! I just thought that these evil folk like the Evil God Order were hanging out with Jagal!"... but if the people around the forest can help us, we won't beat them! Asta's worried too, but let's wait for everyone to get home safely! ”

“Yes, thank you. I'm going to do the same.”

When I gave her a smile, Dialle suddenly laughed, but her face soon became cloudy.

"... by the way, I heard about this earlier in the castle town... is it true that he is accompanying the army?"

"Is that him?... oh, maybe it's Alishna?"

Alyshna is accompanying the crusaders in the name of taking the good fortune of marching. Since it had not been roughly proclaimed, nor had it been concealed, it was not surprising that rumors appeared in the castle town.

"I don't know, but the prince of Jagal who's staying in Genos decided to accompany him, right?" I don't know why the Prince of the South is pulling the people of the East into his territory! Your Sixth Prince, Dakarmas, seems to be more of a freak than a rumor! "

Yeah. Did Dial originally know about Dakarmas?

"You don't know!" I've never been to King's Landing! But Genos was filled with rumors of His Royal Highness! Even though we haven't arrived in Genos yet, we're going to hear names everywhere. ”

Having said that, Dialle took a deep breath.

"I wonder if he's okay." I hope Jagal doesn't make a funny scene... but I can't even imagine how the people of the east can set foot in the territory of the south... "

"I wonder if Dakarmas will be okay with your permission." Besides, the Order of the Evil Gods was supposed to be hiding out in the mountains. If you go south down the street, you'll be out of sight. "

Dial and Alishna start arguing loudly when they face each other, but they have been together for nearly two years now, so their feelings will have fully shifted. However, Dialle, who could not disclose it, was worried alone.

"It seems that it is not the case that the people of the Kingdom are interacting with each other to deal with the Evil God sect, but it is the claim of His Highness Dakarmas." Alichna was banished, but she still wants to do her best for the Kingdom. ”

"Yeah... I think that's a fine touch, but come on..."

And when Dialle sighed again, straw and people gathered in front of the stall being prepared.

"Hey! You have to reopen the stall!" I didn't show up yesterday, so I was worried! "

And they were regular guests, the people of the city of the camp. While carefully wearing her leather coat, she gladly rolled her face.

“Thank you. We'll be ready soon, so please be patient.”

"Oh! I knew I had to eat the food from the stalls here at noon!" The food stalls in the inn aren't bad either, but they're still a bit lacking! "

Such words from people who don't even know their names have deeply touched my heart.

We have decided to reopen the stalls for these people. It was a pleasure to thank the Melfrieds for taking care of me like that.

"Ah, yes! I even finished what Asta ordered!" I don't know if I can meet Asta, so I left it in the castle! "

And from the side, Dial pulls his sleeve.

"Oh, is that so?" I think I've placed a very troublesome order, but I wonder if it's finished safely? "

"Yep! I think I'm alone!" I'd like Asta to take a look at it right now... but what should I do? When I smelled the food, my stomach started to cum. "

"Haha, that's enough after you've finished cooking." Either way, I won't be able to take a closer look until the business is over. "

"Well then, I'll bring it back later!" Lavis, we're lining up at the stall too! "

As Dial rushes away, Lavis tries to chase after her again in silence. I was in a hurry to call out to her on my back. [M]

"I'm glad you're doing well, Lavis!" I'm sorry I'm late! ”

Lavis, who was already about to rush out, twisted his neck and bowed, chasing after his master.

Both Dial and Lavis were really the same. That presence gave me more power.

(Even though we knew that Genos was here, the Dials didn't hesitate to rush us. We have to do our best for those people.)

By the time the stalls were ready, people were gathering as usual.

About half of those people look anxiously around their leather coats. Fearing the appearance of Hida, he probably went out to buy some food. I wanted to thank you one by one, but I had no choice but to deliver the food here with all my heart.

The hairdoes on the forest side who work together are sweating because of the rain gear, but they are still relieving their motivation and joy from fullness. It's full of contentment that your work is a pleasure to people, and a sense of solidarity that you will overcome misery in the same land of Genos. At least I was.

"This is the rumored Shaska dish!" Could it be that Asta received a medal for this? "

“No, it's a different dish. But this dish is also made with confidence."

"Just look at it, it's a strange dish." Well, I'll try it anyway! "

The curry fried rice, which was to be unveiled for the first time, was also sold with a flying momentum. Moreover, since it takes a little time to make this, there is a procession that can't be beaten by the ramen of the Levites. It was the same for Normal Fried Rice, which Reina-Lou was in charge of.

At my feet, Jilbe sits down, his back yawning continuously. That is the proof that the city is at peace. Thanks to that, I was able to immerse myself in business without sadness.

”Shu, shu, even though the staging town is said to have lost people, there are still customers in the streets like before”

Marfila-Naham, who worked at the stall next door, laughed like that.

As they say, the food was selling at the usual pace - and before the second moment of descent, which was the closing time of the store, it was enough to sell all the food.

"Good job! So this is what you ordered!"

Once back in the castle, Dialle had had Lavis pull the trolley and dance back. The wooden box lid on the trolley is removed by the smiling dial.

"First of all, is this a bubbler?" That's it! It wasn't a very difficult order! ”

It was the so-called whipper that Dial pulled out of the crate. We bought a wooden whipper in a castle store, but we asked Dialle if it could be made of metal.

"Yes, the shape and size are exactly as ordered. What kind of strength is that?"

"Hey, I'm using a strange kind of metal called Ageim!" Light, rust-resistant, and resilient are the hallmarks of Age Game! I can't use it on a pot because it's not too hot, but it shouldn't break so easily! "

The tip of the whipper I received from the dial gave me a definite feeling. With this, as long as it's handled correctly, it won't break.

"That sounds good. How's Tour-Din?"

“Yes! It's certainly not heavy, so I think it's easier to use than a wooden one!”

Tour-din's eyes are glittering. Since it's been a long time since I bought a wooden whipper, I'm probably sad about how useful it is in making confectionery. Reina-Lew and Mime seemed to be extremely satisfied.

"In the meantime, we had three orders." If this is the case, we can have dozens of more! Harrias will be back in Zeland in about three days, so if you order by then, I think it will arrive in about three months! "

"Well then, let's ask the clan as much as we can." And I ordered-- "

"Next, this!" This is easier because I just added my hand to the original equipment. "

The next ironware item to be fried was scraps. The handles are attached to a fine net with round, flat eyes. Originally, Dial's ironmongery shop also handled ladles and iron nets, so it must have combined them.

"But what do you use this for cooking?" The people in the factory were also leaning their necks

"I thought this would be useful for scooping up fried food." If you don't do well with fried food, your clothes will fall off. "

I used to make my own chopsticks, but there aren't many chopsticks on the edge of the forest. It is up to you to devise it for those people.

“So, this is the end! Looks like this was the most professional person crying after all!"

The last piece pushed into the bottom of the wooden box is lifted by Dial's thin, well-moving fingers.

This was a half-playful order, and it was nothing but a takoyaki.

A number of round indentations are worn on a 50-centimetre square iron plate. The black shade of the iron plate was very similar to the octopus cooker in my hometown.

Wow, that's amazing. I thought I couldn't do all of this.

"Hmph! We have good craftsmen in our factory!"... but everyone was leaning their necks to see how we were going to use it. "

I just bake the ingredients in this indentation, but I can use it to make quite an interesting dish.

When I received it from Dial, I still felt that the octopus was lighter than an iron plate of the same size. It must be cast iron mixed with iron and some metal. It must be very difficult to process iron into such a shape.

"That sounds good. So, the present--"

"Yes! As per the contract, I don't mind the same price as a regular iron plate!" Instead, I'll pick up the mold and freely sell the same product! ”

"I don't care about all that, but is Dial really okay?" If this guy doesn't sell well, he's going to be in a big deficit, right? "

"Hmph! That's my businessman!"... well, of course, there's trust in Asta! "

Having said that, Dialle laughed more and more loudly.

However, his eyes have a powerful glow as a merchant.

"In fact, I've already made 10 of them and brought them to Genos!" As soon as Asta tells me how to use this, I'll make a pitch! ”

"Awesome. It's very rude of me to turn something I don't even know how to use into a product."

"Haha. My dad was worried too, but he trusted my eyeballs in the end!"... then, is it okay to say that the contract is completed? "

There was no problem at all, so I offered the copper coin to Dial as stipulated, and I discarded the certificate that had been kept in the box for a long time. The testimony on the Dial side was also destroyed, and the contract was successfully completed.

"I really wanted you to follow me to the edge of the forest today and teach me how to use this!" As expected, Lavis would be worried that Genos would be like this, so I look forward to the day when it will be used in the stall! "

"Yes, the study group is limited, so it might take a while, but I'll do something about it in a few days."

"Well then, be careful when you go home!" I'll try to show my face at the stall as much as I can! "

With such words and a smile, Dialle returned to the castle town with Lavis.

I lowered my head to Mars, who was waiting for me at the top of the Buddha, and said, "Thank you for waiting."

"I'm sorry that I asked you to stay in this situation. I'm ready to go."

"... the business was finished earlier, so it was not too late than scheduled." Okay, let's go. "

The stalls and the cafeteria were cleaned up by other crowds, so we decided to go home soon.

There's no change in traffic, and I don't feel like there's been a slight increase in the number of people other than the guards. Since there will be no fluctuation in the number of staying guests from the morning, it is likely that the people who were attracted to the house and the inn went out. Kimusu's Tail Pavilion was said to have halved the number of staying guests, but it seemed that the busyness of the post town had not diminished.

After returning the stall, I returned to the forest.

Because it is difficult to escort people when the line is long, we first ask the wagon of the Luu family and 20 guards to go up the road. After the figure hid in the shadow of the forest, it was decided to follow.

Since Hida was exterminated in this area on a priority basis, there were no signs of anomalies. Jilbe and Sachi, who sat beside the stand, were also peaceful.

But when we arrived at Luw's settlement, there was an unprecedented uproar. A crowd of women wrapped in rain gear jumped out of houses all over the place and ran to the house of one of the subdivisions.

"Something seems to have gone wrong." Before we go back to the station town, I'll check the situation. "

Together with Mars, who had an urgent expression on his face, Reina-Lou and I decided to head for your family home.

Reina = Luu tried to shout, and the front door was opened. And it was Dharm-luw that came out of it.

"Brother Darm, what's going on?"

"Reina, are you back?"... a young man from our family was just wounded in the hand. You don't have to worry about it, because it's not very deep. "

While speaking like that, Darm-Lou was burning his blue eyes. Perhaps the Dalm-Ru brought the wounded men to our house, and the women around were taking care of them.

"But for that, it seems to be a lot of noise." Isn't it really a dangerous situation? ”

As Mars spoke, Darm-Lou thrust his noisy gaze at you. Mars stepped aside slightly, but he was not frightened.

"We have a duty to report any abnormalities around the forest to our superiors." If something unusual happens, please let us know. "

"... the men in this house have been bitten by Mundt." Mundt's fangs are poison themselves, so he needs a special medicine. I guess I just took a lot of time to prepare for it. "

"Mundt, not Gibba." I don't know what to say, but sometimes hunters around the forest get bitten by Mundt. ”

"Mundt has surrounded us with five animals. This was a group of three, so the immature young men were left behind--"

And it came to pass, that Darm-luw frowned steeply.

"... I see. If anything unusual happened, I think it would be unusual for Mundt to leave the herd that way." Moreover, they attacked the hunters around the forest without fear... it's like Giba lost herself to starvation. "

Could it be that you were manipulated by the Order of Evil Gods?

Mars pressed forward and asked, and Dalm-Lou often thought silently before shaking his head to the side.

"Shortly before that, the young Giba ran away when he noticed us. Can a member of the Order of the Evil Gods even imitate a petty act of manipulating only Mundt?"

"No, if you're trying to manipulate a beast, it's more likely to manipulate Giba..."

Mars also leaned his head towards me with a suspicious look, and the satyr snorted "Na" on Jilbe's back, which clung to me.

"Hey, Darm's brother is back, too." Maybe someone did it to Mundt? "

What I heard was the voice of Rudo = Ruu. Rudo-Lou, carrying a quiver and a bow on his shoulder, approached us with the usual plump footsteps.

"Rudo, how do you know Mundt got us?"

"After all, Mundt is acting weird." Hida seems to have cleared up a lot, but today we're dealing with a few Mundts. ”

In response, Rud-Luhakurin turned to Mars.

"Ah, it's you. Just in time." Can you deliver this to the castle town of Vermes? "

"Fermes, you mean the Diplomat of the King's City?" I'm not in a position to see such a person cheerfully. "

"But that's the one I know the most about here, right?" I wonder if he knows who he is? "

Having said that, Rud-Lou held up what he had in his hand towards Mars. It is a simple package in which the leaves of the Gonmoki are tied with the vines of Fibach.

Then, when the wrapping was lifted by Rud-Lou's hand ─ ─ all the faces except Darm-Lou screamed.

"Hey, what is that?" Is that what the snake in the Morgan Forest looks like? ”

"It's not a snake." He was hiding in Mundt's stomach. When I pulled it out of there, it kicked out right away. "

Wrapped in the leaves of a gonmoki was something shaped like a string. It's about the size of my index finger. If I stretch it straight, it'll be about 20cm. Rubber-like texture, red blood everywhere, but he had a human yellowish-white color-and a suction cup-like mouth grew on his blind head.

"So, my dad told me to scratch the other Mundt's belly, and it was all hiding in his belly." I've never seen a bug like this before. If this is the work of the Order of Evil Gods, it's bad, right? That's why I want you to ask people you know. "

"... I see. Got it." In that case, I will make sure to deliver it to the people in my position through my superiors. "

Mars tightened his expression and received a wrap of Gonumoki leaves from Rudo-Ru.

"So, Mundt is getting violent in the woods, right?" I want you to tell me the exact situation as much as possible. "

"I see. I haven't changed to Gibbons or Geese, but Mundt is the only one who seems weird." Mundt is a rotten person, so it's unlikely that he'll attack a living person. "

Could it be that Mundt is eating Hida's body?

Rudo-Lou's eyes widened sharply as I unexpectedly clasped my mouth.

"Hida is full of shells and water, and doesn't even have one piece of meat attached to it." Even Mundt doesn't have a place to eat, does he? "

"No. At least, my stomach is stuffed with guts. And a few days ago, I saw a swarm of Mundt on Hida's body."

While talking like that, Dalm = Lou stuck up to me.

So what if Mundt touches Hida's rot?

No, no, isn't that a parasitic bug?

"...... Is it coughing?"

"It's a parasitic bug in the body of a living being.... Oh, I see. Giba doesn't have any parasites. That's the kind of guy I had in my hometown. So, when the host was predated by other insects and beasts, I felt like there were some parasites that would transfer their residence there....."

"Originally, this guy was hiding in Hida, so you changed his location to Mundt who ate him?" That's a lot to talk about. "

While shrugging his shoulders, Rud-Lou looked back towards Mars.

"Oh, noooo. I'd like you to deliver Asta's words with me, if possible. We have no idea what's going on here."

"I understand. I'll tell the superior that this is an emergency."... please be careful. "

"Ahh, you too," Rudo = Lou smiled cheerfully. Once upon a time, when the people of the north cleared a road by the forest, Mars, who was placed as a watchdog, was badly hit by Gibba's raid, and Rudo-Ruu was treated.

In any case, there was still a continuation of the calamity brought about by the Order of the Evil Gods.

When I thought of Ei = Fa, who was working at the die hunting ground, I felt like I could tighten my chest.
