172 Lesson 172

"Is that what you mean..."

When the Athals left the inn, the siege had already been completed. And thoughtfully armed men set up round about the boarding house.

"I can't believe you're surrounded so far if you think there's a sign of people at Yamato"

There was no great surprise for the Atals because it was what they expected. Caro and Balkias are wary to protect Atal's back, but they're just keeping an eye on things.

But why is this happening? That was all I questioned.

"I don't know who set it up, but you're gonna do enough to explain how this is happening, right?

I look over at the armed villagers around me, but nobody tries to talk to me just smiling slightly.

"Don't you want to talk?"

Atal spread his hands like a man with an unfortunate look.

"Well, maybe I could talk to you a little bit."

It was the master of the inn who came out of the inn where the Ataru had just come out, who said so with a nitwit and a grin.

"You're the mastermind, not leading these guys."

The master of the inn passing beside the Ataru stands straight in front of the group. I felt like I admired him from the atmosphere of the villagers.

"Well, that's the thing. We're ready for you to stay at our inn. Well, I didn't think anyone was up all night.... but if you're surrounded by so many people in that fatigue, you'll have to give up, too, right?

Some of them laughed as funny when they heard the master of the Inn.

"Uh, what I heard was that this village is a relay point for adventurers' journeys... how could this be?

The innkeeper flaunts his shoulders at the flimsy question of the claw.

"Well, it's because the adventurer's stopped coming. When there's an easier and safer route and there's a city with all kinds of things, I'll start going that way. So... we got this village."

Apparently this man wasn't the master of the inn, he was the head of the bandit.

"I see, well, I thought that would be the case. There is no description of the price of the accommodation, no description of the food, and too little other information about the accommodation. And the one who came to explore our room yesterday is the guy there, right? Same sign."

After shaking his neck loosely like a scratch, the man next to his head was the one Atal pointed at all the time.

"Behold! How did you find out!?

The man at the tip of his finger was shaking his body and upset, but Atal wasn't going to answer that.

"So, what are you going to do with us?

"What do you say? If you look at this situation, you know what I mean. You throw away your body there. Let the lady be a comfort. You can just kill me."

The heady words with a nasty grin touched the angry harp lines of Atal and Balkias. I know I can handle what happens to me, but there was no way the two of them could stay calm when they told me that my dear Caro could be hurt.

"Well, that's the idea. Then I need you to be a little prepared for death, okay?

"Gaw!!

Atal and Balkias step forward while quietly suppressing the anger that creeps up in the boil, but it is stopped by Caro.

"Master Atal, Mr. Bal, please stay back."

"No, this is... ok"

I tried to punish myself, Atal, but when I saw Caro's expression, I decided to back off.

"Bal, you're going down, too."

There seemed to be no objection to Atal's words, and Barchias decided to step back behind Caro, as did Atal.

"Ahhh......"

I pissed off someone who shouldn't have pissed me off. Hey, Balkias was shaking his neck to the side.

"Master of the Inn, no. Is it the bandit's eldest?

One, Caro out front asks questions only with a smile on his face. Ataru, who felt something bottom-cold in that smile that seeped even luscious, drank his sawdust.

"Oh, yeah! That's what it is!

"No, it's just confirmation. So long, folks... Goodbye."

A quiet whining word after a grin disappeared all the time. The men didn't know what Caro was talking about, but the next moment he tilted his neck and tried to ask again, he was plump and unconscious. They ended up sinking into the ground without knowing what 'goodbye' meant.

"Hey, what the hell!

The head looks around in surprise at every moment of its existence, but nothing can be done but to watch his men fall one after the other.

"... Guh!

He who could speak out among them was still a good one. Because most of the men who fall just fall without even knowing why they fall.

"Uh, that hurts"

"Yeah......"

Atal and Balkias looked at Caro's doubles as blurry as they were taken aback.

"Oh, hey! What the hell is he! And, stop it!!

His head was so shrugged by the attals as he was in a hurry, but all they had to do was flaunt their shoulders and shake their heads quietly beside each other.

"Oh, it looks like your turn."

At that time, Atal realizes that all the other men have fallen and makes them stand in front of Caro by pushing their heads back tonguely. Relax while being pushed. The man stuck out to Caro's present immediately distorts his face.

"Hih, hih!

My subordinate's head, who sees the situation, is driven by fear and butts on the spot. He shouts strongly that instincts should not be fooled by his appearance as an adorable toddler beast by the girl he was looking up to.

"You're not the only one who's safe, are you? Good night, then."

Fluffy and cheeky, Caro handily punches his head jaw with a cutlet to make him unconscious.

"Absolutely, please don't say anything unbelievable about killing Master Atal and Mr. Bal."

The Ataru are the only ones standing here right now. Caro's anger seemed to have subsided for now by knocking down all the bandits, swelling his cheeks and saying away.

"Good day...... so what do these guys do? You can't just leave it like this."

If we leave it like this, the bandits who just let them lose consciousness may wake up and repeat their banditry again. Considering that, I could also call that a bad hand.

"You have no choice...... I will return to the previous city to bring the guards, so Master Atal and Mr. Bal, can you please keep an eye on these people?

Atal decided to drink the draft to Caro's suggestion of fast legs because someone had to go.

"Okay, just go with care, okay?

"Yes, both of you be careful."

Thus, the long stop seemed to last only a little longer.
