Idle Talk 7: A day with Kaede

Idle Talk 7: A day with Kaede

Volton is an adventurer city situated in the border regions of Valkyra Kingdom.

The Sanctuary appeared in the western edge of the continent when the Spirit Tree took root, and the Great Spirits of Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Tree, Light, and Dark had manifested. At that chance, a highway was rapidly developed, connecting it to three fortress cities constructed in the Savage Lands beginning with Wedgefort.

As the city was relatively close to Wedgefort and connected by a highway constructed by Takumi, Volton was also influenced by the rapid development. Even if the rise in population and economic revitalization that came with it were omitted, Volton had quickly changed in recent years. These were improvements in the city’s environmental sanitation and the betterment of its public order.

Normally, when population increases radically and economy suddenly grows, the city’s environmental sanitation deteriorates. However, that was not the case for Volton. The reason for this was that it was being cleaned by Takumi’s inventions.

As for the betterment of public order............

Frankly, an increase in adventurers coincides with an increase in ruffians and criminals.

Especially with the recent collapse of Divine Empire of Sydnia and the war with Triaria Kingdom. The center of this continent had fallen to ruin. It was impossible for the surrounding countries to not be affected by the aftermath.

Yet even with that being the case, the public order in Volton wasn’t too bad. Margrave Volton’s Knight Order and Sentinels were putting a lot of effort into it.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

However, there was another existence that contributed to maintaining the security in Volton.

「Kyaaー! Please stop!」

「Hehehe, keep quiet. We’ll make you pretty, you know.」

「Hihihihi, what’s the fuss? After you’re all dolled up, we’re only selling you to a whorehouse.」

A young girl was taken into a back alley in Volton, and was surrounded by three men with unkempt beards and wearing dirty leather armor.

However, the men truly had no chance tonight.

「Ah, another bad guy. Need to beat them.」

The voice of a small child could be heard.

Those who committed crimes downtown were suffering the consequences of their actions, rolling half-dead over to the front of the company.

「Oh my, Kaede-chan, you’re alone?」

「Yup! Taking a walk.」

「Kaede-chan, let’s plaaay!」

「La~ter~!」

Although the Arachne Unique Species is designated as a calamity-class species, perhaps because of her cute appearance, when Kaede walks alone in Volton, voices call out to her all over town.

Kaede was permitted to walk freely in Volton, so she goes around stalls with the allowance she received from Takumi and occasionally plays with kids.

To Kaede, maintaining public order in town was closer to a stroll in her spare time.

「Hm? It feels like there’s more baddies.」

When Kaede suddenly stopped moving and said so, the next instant, she disappeared like a haze from that spot. Then a cocoon rolled somewhere in town.
