91 Those who appeared in the village.

On that day, the state of Fau Village was strange from the morning. The villagers are quietly talking around the well. Most women were the ones who usually blossomed in gossip, but today somehow men are talking with a voice. Yui tilted her head in a somewhat unusual village atmosphere.

"What happened?"

Tetsu next to her also looked suspicious. But if you stick your neck and get caught by the long-talking women, you'll be late for the time you're going to see the blacksmith. Hurry to the bakery to buy daytime bread so that you can get as little as possible. Then there was a crowd in front of the bakery. As I was wrinkling between my eyebrows, I heard the conversation of women.

"... So you can't buy bread or meat?"

"I was in trouble ..."

Judging from what we talked about, it seems that something seems to have happened and things aren't available at the store.

The village is small, surrounded by mountains. There is only one bakery and butcher in the village. It was very important that everyone could buy bread for the day at the store, but they couldn't sell it in the morning. If this happens, the bakery host will tell you in advance. That must have been a rather steep story.

Everyone asks a fair distance from the store to listen to the situation. Tetsu, who noticed something, grabbed Yui's arm in a hurry as he leaned out of the wall to see if there was something inaccessible.

(No, Yui! Here!)

Her arm is grabbed and pulled. Hidden behind Tetsu, Yui was curling her eyes. If you look around closely, it seems that someone came out of the bakery. He talks quietly around him, but frowns at his eyes. At first glance, they came out of the store and knew who they were. Noble. Certainly, I knew that nobles wouldn't want to complain. In addition, butchers seem to be equally occupied by nobles.

(What's going on?)

(I don't know. Let's go home first. There may be some guys in the blacksmith as well.)

When Yui and Tetsu nod each other, they sneak in and go home through a back alley. I closed the windows and curtains and pretended to be going out.

"Why are they in such a town ...?"

"It's too early to come to the blacksmith to pick up my order, and I'm buying bread and meat ..."

"……what?"

Yui looked suspiciously at Tetsu who was silent. Tetsu is still silent, thinking about something. Speaking of which, recently, even the royal capital reminded me that the clouds were suspicious. Perhaps something around that is involved.

I haven't seen her recently. If I hadn't seen her for a long time, I had to feel like something was going wrong.

"I have a bad feeling"

"It's strange. Me too."

Yui shrugged her shoulders and sighed, saying she was in trouble.

Although it was a small village, it was populated by many people on the edge of the country. This lush, peaceful village is thriving in agriculture and forestry, and is primarily engaged in crafts made from wood. The father of the blacksmith, who Yui cares for, made fire with abundant wood, struck iron, and made not only weapons but also knives, arrowheads, knives, and iron plates for baking things. It is famous for its weapons, and many people hit the gates to become disciples. I can understand if the nobles rushed for weapons, but it looks strange.

"No way ..."

"No, it feels a little different, and I'll be the first to bring the assassin here."

"……that's true"

I remembered the old days and found that Yui's expression was shady. Tetsu was aware of this, but pretended to be unaware and took out various knives from the shelves and wore them.

"Tetsu ..."

"I'll scout. Yui goes underground."

"……Do you get it"

Promise when something happens. Yui could only whisper that she was sorry to let Tetsu leave it to him. At that time, the door made a squealing noise. This sound was her.

When Tetsu opened the door a little with the familiar hand, a black thing came in. When I saw her, Yui's face looked glad.

"Where have you been?"

She cried as if responding to Yui's words, and rubbed on Yui's feet in an unusually sweet way. She is unusual and she does not touch her, she is urging her to tie her tail to Yui's feet as soon as she says that she can stroke it. Yui's face broke into this.

"Yui, will you be underground with her?"

"Oh, I see. Tetsu, take care."

"Yes. I'll go."

Yui shuts the door lock, seeing off Tetsu leaving without sound. Then, when you open the hidden door, there is a staircase leading to the basement. She flew down to the basement. Yui hurries up and prepares a lamp for her, who goes down the dark stairs without light. After confirming the lock, Yui took the fruits from the closet and went down the stairs.
