Chapter 400: A journey to fix the world?
I slept soundly in the carriage, and when the sun rose in the morning, I woke up and went outside to find there were many monster corpses. Out there was Ferryl who seemed to be waiting to be to be praised, Seru who was satisfied with herself, Titan who was posing as if proud of the amount of monsters it caught, and Gloam who perched on its shoulder unconcerned.
『Master, we hunted all the dangerous monsters in this area.』
「......y-yeah, you did well.」
I was at a loss for words at the proud Tsubaki. I had no choice but to pet the familiars as a reward.
「Oh my, did you all hunt these? As expected of my Ferryl. Good girl, good girl.」
「Ooh, Seru, you’re so clever!」
Akane and Laeva who got out of the carriage praised their own familiars. I’m afraid that if they’re praised too much, they would do the same thing every time we camp out.
「This is...... looks like our departure will be extended.」
「Seems so. But this village has plenty of orc meat, so should we offer it to the towns and villages we will stay in after this?」
「I guess so. But I think it would be better to ask the villagers for help with dismantling and then give them a reward after.」Rêạd new chapters on no/v/e/lbin(.)com
Sophia alighted from the carriage, then she said that we should delay our departure after seeing the mountain of prey, and Maria proposed giving a bit of it as a reward for the villagers help.
「Let’s do that. In the meantime, Titan can surveil the surroundings and repair their outer walls.」
The village originally didn’t have a good wall, but it was destroyed here and there by the orc colony. The villagers seem to have made some emergency repairs, but that wouldn’t pose much resistance against goblin or wolf-type monsters.
「T-this is......」
「I think you should do as you like, Dear Husband.」
Marnie 100% supports what I decide on doing. I wonder if that’s fine for every case.
「I can’t say much as third wheel, but while it wasn’t very much like a honeymoon, why don’t we treat it like Mito Komon’s country reformation journey?」
「What’s that, the Mito Komon country reformation journey.」
「Mito Komonya?」
「It’s the tale of man who went on a journey beating bad people.」
Akane gave a suitable response to Lulu-chan. That’s not the case. There’s no way a tour around the entire country is possible in the Edo period...... wait, that’s not what this is about.
「In short, we’re going to stop by as many towns and villages as we can, and help as many as we can in those places?」
「DAT’S RIGHTO[1] !」
「......so that’s how it will be. Haa, well, we’ll be stopping by many villages and towns, so we may as well help, huh.」
Outside the carriage, Ferryl, Seru, and Gloam were carrying the monsters hunted by the roads. It was a hassle retrieving them every single time, but I guess I could think of it as their stress relief.
