âI wonât do anything. Itâs just rumors spreading. For example, a demon stormed by a magic formation began to storm in the woods? You think those who escape are being made ferocious by the magic formations? This village is complicated by various things right now. Even if the villagers make the wrong rumors, thereâs no choice, is there? Yeah, you think so?
My face catches on to what the captain says.
How nervous a team of investigators waiting in the woods can be forced by this rumor.
When I saw the captain, he had an indescribably bad look.
âBy and large, what this village needs are people who can analyze the magic formation and think about countermeasures. Donât let the same thing happen again. And yet inheritance issues? Iâm kidding, I really want to bust it. Well, I wouldnât do that. I really wonât. Itâs just⌠you should be very welcome when the investigation team arrives. Anyway, theyâre the ones that move at times like this. Theyâll be the ones who were originally at the mercy of fools.â
You started talking so badly and you saw it.
Still⌠whatâs a fool talking about a prince whoâs after the throne?
Peek softly at the captain.
âI wonât stop, but the royal family will never look at me.â
Is Gilmouth used to it or does he not seem particularly concerned?
âNaturally. The magic team still has a lot to figure out. Whatever happens, itâs caused by the magic formation. No, the magic team is really strange.â
That seems a little different.
Sounds like an investigation team that was originally on the move.
âDruid. Thatâs why. RightâŚâŚ can you leave by tomorrow or the morning after tomorrow?
You mean set something up after that?
âWeâre leaving around lunch tomorrow. Thatâs what I was talking to Ivy about.â
âRight. Donât get lonely. Ivyâs a good girl.â
âRight. Very good boy.â
In my words, the captain and Gilmouth stare at me.
âDonât change the vibe when youâre talking about Ivy, whether you realize it or notâ
The captain laughs funny.
âIt changes this far. Thatâs amazing in a way. With that said, youâve worked in this village before, havenât you?
âThat may have happened, but you donât remember.â
I honestly donât remember much about the old days.
I donât recall living seriously.
It was just a repetition of taking it without thinking if you asked me to do the job, doing it.
âIâve had work done jointly with the top adventurers in this village. It was a difficult job, but it was still supposed to end fine. However, there were many people who died or suffered major injuries because of major mistakes in the information. You guys back in the village couldnât handle the injury because you ran out of potions, and you were in pretty bad shape. Yet, Druid, you stood flat bleeding. Iâve seen various adventurers, but I remember them vividly because they were creepy if anyâ
Explore memories in Gilmouthâs talk, but I donât know which is it.
I did suffer a lot of serious injuries.
Especially now that I think about 5 years before I met Ivy, it was terrible.
Gilmouthâs state of conversation happened frequently in those five years, so I donât know which is the memory of this village.
âI was surprised when I heard your name. I thought it was someone else at first, but my face is with me. What made you change, Ivy?
I think Iâve changed myself, so youâd think so from around here.
âThatâs right. Ivy is a benefactor of my life and a light.â
The captain and Gilmouth face to face with my response.
I think I need to ask you something. What?
âItâs about the magic formation outside the village. I hear Ivy and Druid were influencing it. Is that true?
I thought youâd ask, but itâs sudden.
Well, donât wonder how far we should go.
âRight.â \nWhen the captain answers, it opens for a little while.
Thought youâd have more questions, but thatâs surprising.
âDruid, we donât listen to anything. Given what happened, I decided I shouldnât have any more information.â
Gilmouth nods at the captainâs words.
âWhen I say itâs tied up in that contract, thereâs definitely not. Of course, Iâm going to keep my word.â
These two seem to be serious about helping Ivy and me.
âAnd if anything happens to those who know two things in this village, let some information flow through each adventurer gilt.â
âOkay. What is information?
âRight. What do you think Iâd like?
You werenât thinking about it?
âAny good words? I have a problem with us if itâs not something that people donât have to look at.â
Thatâs something I canât think of.
ââMin secured. No Need to Lookâ?
Ming, who can fly, is a small demon whose range of action is too wide to secure.
There are no adventurers to catch because there is no demand, but sometimes I ask you to catch them.
The last year or two would be just fine because I havenât even asked for that.
âNice, that. Even if you read it, I think you made a rare request.â
\nâIâm relieved. Looks like the Druids are already ready.â
âOh. My enemies are so huge, I donât know what to do.â
Churches are everywhere, and magic formations canât be found when theyâre hidden.
Thereâs anxiety, but Iâm not alone.
âYouâre not going anywhere near the church for now. Beware of those who show suspicious movements? Difficult against magic.â
The captain laughed at Gilmouthâs words.
âHave you forgotten the existence of the Sols?
Sure, it looks like Sol and Sola are going to do something about it.
âThatâs good. I want demons like Flem, tooâ
To Gilmouthâs words, the captain sends a frightened gaze.
âYouâre not Tamer, but you canât, can you?
âFine, but as much as I think. Oh, Iâm sorry to hear that, Upas. I canât see Ciel as he was.â
Stir the liquor as the captain glances at Gilmouthâs seemingly evil expression of bottomline.
When I look at the bottle of liquor, there is already just a little bit left on the bottom.
Thereâs no doubt about this, Mr. Etcher will piss you off tomorrow.
âBecause itâs time to stop drinking?
The captain comes out another two bottles of booze from his feet.
If we dated, Iâd be pissed off together.
âAll right, letâs drinkâ
When I look at Gilmouth, my eyes sit still a little.
All right, letâs go home.
Thereâs nothing you can do here.
