40 Lesson 40: Ordinary Villages and Hunting

We woke up in the bed at Rex's house one night after the welcome party we gave the village.

At the end of the banquet, we tried to take the inn, but when we were told there was no inn in the village, we were at a loss as to what was wrong.

So, that's when Rex's parents told us that we should stay at our place, and we decided to be sweet about it.

"Good Morning"

"Morning. I've been on a long journey, can we just slow down a little bit?

About Rex's mother. Mr. Astrea was already awake and ready for breakfast.

"No, it doesn't bother you very much."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that."

No, actually, I didn't take it from my son's friends when he said he couldn't take the money if he tried to pay for the inn, and it doesn't really sweeten him to his liking.

"Is there anything I can do to help?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Then could you arrange the dishes for me?

"I'll take care of it"

As I was preparing the dishes, Norb woke up and the next thing I knew, Megri woke up.

Well, Norb's always up early to pray to God.

On the contrary, it looks like Megri drank too much of Jewel Apple's liquor at yesterday's banquet.

I'm suffering from a hangover with my head in my arms.

"It's time for dinner, so wake up Gyro"

"Okay."

Norb turns right back and goes to wake up Gyro.

"Uh, it hurts... oh, you're all early. That's right. Young kids are fine."

Mr. Ryde is up, but he seems to be suffering from a hangover, just like Megri.

"Mother, make me a cup of hangover tea"

"Yes. Wait a minute."

When Astrea removed the tea leaves from the shelf, she gently added the tea leaves to the pot and poured hot water.

"Yes, please."

"Oh, thank you. Oh, this is for hangovers after all."

Apparently that tea works for the hangover, and the look on Mr. Ryde's face, who had suffered from the hangover until just now, soothed.

"Um, me too, I want that..."

Megri gives Astrea a cup of tea as she flirts.

I don't know how much I drink makes me so flirty.

"Yes, yes, I'll brew it right away."

Serve Megri the tea that Mr. Astrea poured into the cup.

"Thanks...... Kupi"

Drinking the tea I had brewed as I hoofed it, the complexion of the blue-blue meguri grew better as soon as I saw it.

"Wow, this is amazing"

I'm sure that tea also uses some awesome herbs or something.

Complicated feelings swirl in my chest that I would regret hearing like I wanted to hear.

"This works great, but what tea?

"Well, that's tea made out of Arlaune petals."

"Arlaunejee!?"

Hey, what!? Really? ALLAUNE!?

"A, when you say Arlaune, aren't you a dangerous plant type demon that attacks people!?"

Arlaune, it's about the demons of plants that look like humans.

At first glance, she's a naked beauty with green skin, but her legs are rooted and she can't walk.

And when humans approach, they are extremely dangerous demons who tease and strangle corpses from their bodies and bury them on the ground to nourish themselves.

By the way, it looks just like a human being, but I can't communicate with him or anything.

Because the essence is plants.

"Oh, it's okay. Because Al is a relaxer who loves sunshine."

"Al!?"

Why are you calling me AKA!?

"Al picked it up when Rex was a little seedling. Then he planted it in the back field and raised it."

Because I'm not a kitten!?

"That kid loves Rex's formulated fertilizer, he laughs so happy when he hangs it on his roots and it's cute. If you give me fertilizer, I'll thank you for the flowers and leaves, so now I'm spreading fertilizer on Al around the village."

What is the state of the semi-normal cat crossing that neighborhood!?

But I kind of understood.

I'm sure that Arlaune was fascinated by Rex's formulated fertilizer.

I guess that's why fertilizers are more nutritious than humans, and you don't have to bother attacking them because they come from humans on a regular basis.

"I can't believe Arlaune can coexist with humans..."

I'm studying plant-based demons. I'll be happy to teach the wizard.

"Uh, I'm so sleepy."

And finally, the idiot woke up.

I'm looking out for you, so I thought you might want to be a little more shy.

◆

"So, what are you guys going to do today?

I finished my meal and everyone had a neat after-dinner cup of tea, and Mr. Ride asked me that.

"Well, I'd like to look for Mr. Rex's textbooks as planned"

That's what I came here for.

"I'm going to show you Jewel Apple!

Megri seems obsessed with Jewel Apple, which was the subject of yesterday's banquet.

I'm obsessed. I hope I don't steal too much.

"I'm going to ask around the troubles of all the villages in need. We also want to treat those people if they are injured. If it's true, I wanted to go pray to the temple, because this village doesn't have a temple."

Norb is a cleric, so you need to do good deeds as a training.

I don't think I can live such a cramped life.

"I'm a trainee! I feel like I could be stronger if I trained in my brother's raised village!

You can't be so convenient and strong.

Totally, if I feel strong enough, I won't have a hard time.

"Then why don't you go hunting with us?

And, Mr. Ryde invited Gyro to hunt.

"Hunting?"

"Oh, we're all going hunting in the woods outside the village today. There's not many demons out there, so why don't you go hunting with me?

Sure, real life is an important training, isn't it?

Besides, we were about to be killed by a herd of Forest Wolves the other day.

"Cheng Cheng, there's no better training than in action! Of course I'm in!

Looks like Gyro came to the same idea, and I honestly took Mr. Ryde's suggestion.

"Well, I'll get ready, so you can get ready and wait in front of the house, too"

"Whoa!"

◆

Let's go, Gyro.

"Ossu!"

Coming to Lex's brother's village, I was supposed to hunt with my brother's father.

They also have demons. Hunting is a great opportunity to train, and more importantly, it's good to be shown a cool place by your brother's father.

I'm not ashamed to be your brother's apprentice.

Then I'll join the others.

"Ugh!"

When I followed Ryde's father, I saw several figures in the village square where we had a banquet yesterday.

"Thank you for waiting."

"Whoa, it's late, Ride."

I said it was Kallio's old man who helped us yesterday.

Cheng Cheng, I'm sure this old man is strong. It's natural to join the hunt.

If I do anything else, the kid is wandering around.

"Bad, bad. This gyro here today. I'd like you to join me in the hunt, if you don't mind?

Kallio's old man sees me in Ryde's father's words.

"Hmm, you too?

"Oh, do you have any complaints? You're always hunting monsters, aren't you?

"Well, isn't that prestigious? Come on, follow me."

Hmm, because I showed this old man something cool.

I'll show you a good spot in today's hunt!

"Let's go, you guys!

"" "" "Yes!

And for some reason, I heard a kid.

The kids in the square are lined up behind Cario's old man with spears and swords.

"Are you going to take him with you?!?"

When I'm surprised, Kallio's old man laughs niggly.

"Wow, he's quite a hunter, too."

Come on, are you serious?!? If he gets attacked by Forest Wolf yesterday, he'll be dead soon!?

Did they invite you to babysit me?

I was the one who followed him in a gennary mood, but the moment he left the village, the air changed.

"All right, then we'll run to the woods over there!

"" "" "Yes!

When I suddenly thought Kallio's old man ran out at an awesome speed, he ran out at a hell of a speed to all the kids.

"I'm coming, Gyro."

Ryde's father prompted me, and I rush after him.

"What is this!?"

Now that I know I can't catch up with a normal run, I immediately activate the physical enhancement magic to chase the kids.

"Can you even use him?!?"

If you concentrate, you'll see a tremendous amount of magic overflowing from their bodies.

Definitely physical enhancement magic, no, that's what Rex's brother said. The technology on it, attribute enhancement, is the guy.

I still can't use that power of my own. Those kids used it normally.

"Are you serious..."

◆

"Ha-ha-ha... oh, chase... I'm on it"

Desperately eating and running with the kids running ahead, I managed to get to the woods without being left behind.

"Whoa, that's pretty good, Bowes."

Kallio's old man comes to me like a pimp.

"What the hell?"

I don't have the strength to reach out. I ask the kids questions with my chin.

"Oh, he and the others have been teaching us a lot since we were so tempted. You surprised me, didn't you?

"My brother!?"

Does that mean he's my brother?

"I hope you're watching the rest of the fight."

In fact, without the strength to move, I decided to watch the kids hunt until their health recovered.

"Chase Wind Arrow!"

A magical swarm of unseen winds kicks the wolf, and the guys with spears jump in from where the hole was drilled.

"Ahhh!

Looks like a regular spear pierces Forrest Wolf's forehead.

There are no shards in the movement, and it's a trick to mow the grass.

It's not a very kid move, and it's more handy than the Adventurer Alliance seniors in the first place.

"It's like I'm looking at my brother..."

It was no exaggeration to say that it was a group of smaller brothers who were there.

"Are you surprised?

"Wow!?"

Ride's father stood beside me when he noticed.

It seems your father has been fighting before, too, because the weapon is stained with blood.

"Those kids, unlike us, have been trained by Rex since they were young. I can't be confused."

"Uh, well, then what about your father, Mr. Ryde?

You're telling me your father doesn't have this mouthful?

"When we were young, we couldn't have fought like this. He trapped near the village and appreciated the occasional prey."

Ride's father told me about the old days with just a few distant eyes.

"It wasn't until Lex was born that our lives got better. As you know, she's different from people. From an early age, I became interested in many things, and instantly I excelled at many things. He showed knowledge and skills that nobody knew, and he offered them to everyone in the village without monopolizing them by himself."

Whoa, you've been awesome for a long time. Lex's brother.

"At first we had some creepy people about our son. If I looked at a village that would be convenient, well, I wouldn't be doing anything wrong, I'd be accepting it because it might be good."

... something--that's my brother's hometown.

"Nevertheless, it turns out that we adults have difficulty accepting new things, and we've tried our best in front of growing kids, but what a desperate place to keep up. Kallio also behaved as a master hunter to his children, but when it was a simple battle, he was hostile to them."

Even that old man can't win with the kids... seriously, you're a bunch of fucking kids.

"But well, you're still young. We can be stronger than adults."

... Oh, could you have encouraged me because I was amazed at the strength of the kids!?

Ugh, I showed my brother's dad some embarrassment.

"Heh, don't worry! I'm more than my brother! I'll show you soon to be stronger than the kids! Hey, I'm in!

I've recovered, and I'm in the hunt.

◆

I'm home.

As I was studying in the textbook I found in Rex's room, I heard Mr. Ride coming from the entrance. Apparently, everyone who was out hunting came back.

"Welcome back"

When the break came and picked them up, for some reason Gyro came home as if they were luggage.

"Is something wrong?!?"

Could he have been hit by a demon and seriously injured?

... but you're not bleeding?

"Oh, don't worry about it. Because I'm just a little tired."

"Ha..."

I speak to Gyro, who was put to bed.

"Are you okay?"

"... hekom"

"What?

"Various..."

You kind of don't get the point.

"Those kids are so fast, they're so good at unscrupulous magic, and they're used to handling weapons, not tons..."

"Uh, I mean, you said you were beaten by differences in character?

……

It was like a picture star, apparently.

"I'm..."

And, mostly, Norb came home.

"Welcome back, how was your training"

"Huh!"

For a moment, Vikri and his body trembled, Norb dived silently from his face into the bed.

"Huh? What?

"... there were only people in this village who were better at restorative magic than me."

"Ah, uh."

I mean, it's Gyro II.

"I'm home!

And the last time Megri came home.

"Jewel Apple was awesome! It was amazing!"

Only Megli, who talks with great excitement, seemed just one happy person.
