Chapter 8: (2)

During an emergency request where the entire inhabitants safety was at stake, it turned into a sort of compulsory request. For example, during the appearance of a powerful monster or a war. In such cases, to ensure the safety of the residents, the request would be issued as an emergency measure, just as its name implied.

Depending on their scale, theres a possibility that the bandits would come raiding the town, after all. Well, its still hard to tell at the current stage, though.

.

Tanaka passed through the gate and entered the town. An intense foreboding feeling was welling up inside of him. Racking his self-proclaimed genius brain to come up with a solution, he headed to the guild.

Im planning to return to the countryside to start farming once Im done with this request.

Hmm, I see. In that case, Ill be issuing your wanted poster then.

Jody swiftly dismissed Tanakas idiotic remark while doing her job in a matter-of-fact manner.

Just why?! Why would I have a wanted poster for becoming a farmer?!!

Just kidding. Rather, its your fault for spouting such a strange thing all of a sudden. In the end, Im sure youre just thinking about running away after you heard the matter about the bandits from Hachi, am I right?

..

Jody had read one step ahead of Tanakas thoughts. A true natural enemy. Tanaka was trembling in fear at the horror of the receptionist in front of him. Something that totally didnt really matter.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

While Tanaka was trembling in fear of her, Jody quickly finished the completion procedure of the request. Then, as she handed over his reward to Tanaka, she added.

Well, its not like youre going to be dealing with them right away or anything anyway. But when the time comes, be sure to resolve yourself and properly accept the request, alright? Until then, you are free to continue doing what youve always done. Well, its not guaranteed yet that well issue an emergency request anyway, so just take is easy.

Saying so, she dismissed Tanaka with her usual business smile.

After that, as Jody told him to, Tanaka went about his daily life as usual, praying that the bandits would disappear on their own.

However, just as his bad premonition had expected, the damage caused by the bandits didnt cease. In fact, the damage had actually increased dramatically, and eventually..

And so time passed as they did this and that, and the day was about to set without any signs of the bandits showing up in front of them. They then stopped their row of carriages and began the preparation for the night camping.

Tanaka used the housework abilities he had honed on his long journey to promptly get the camps ready. Well, his housework abilities were actually not that great in itself, however, Tanaka possessed an above standard item box. Despite Echigoyas doubts as to why Tanaka brought these items on him, Tanaka quickly took out and prepared satisfactory meals and beddings out of his item box.

Afterwards, the three escorts quickly finished up their meals. The two escorts, other than Tanaka, stayed to guard the carriages, while Tanaka on the other hand headed into the forest to gather up firewood.

Actually, I even have some firewood in my item box I wonder if they arent good enough.

Even as he muttered about such a thing, Tanaka decided to refrain himself. Thus he continued to earnestly gather up firewood. As he continued to move deeper into the forest for a while, he had gathered up quite a lot. When he thought it was about time to return, his field of vision suddenly brightened up. He seemed to have arrived at the riverbed next to a stream.

Then, he noticed that there were three large-built men who were standing beside the stream.

Oh, to think youd personally bring yourself here.

The three men immediately unsheathed their swords and readied themselves for battle.

Year 5963 of the creation calendar, Autumn, Tanaka had a life and death battle against humans for the first time.
