Chapter 51 – Village in a Small Forest (4)
Because we took care of all the monsters around us before going to bed, we were able to have a comfortable night without any unusual issues, even though we had to keep watch one by one.
When I opened my eyes in the tent, I found Yuria sleeping while hugging me.
I feel like I have become Yuria’s own dakimakura.
Lien, who was supposed to be next to me, was not there right now because she was the last person to be on watch.
“Yuria, wake up. It’s morning.”
“Umm… Jinu…”
Yuria seemed to have woken up to the sound of my voice and got out of my arms, rubbing her eyes.
Yuria and I got dressed and came out of the tent to see Lien tidying up the surroundings.
“Aaaaam! I was cleaning up, Lien. We should have done it together when we woke up.”
“No, my lord. I alone am sufficient.”
It’s like going to a company picnic in the morning and seeing my new employee, Lien, get up first and straighten up, and I, the manager, ask why I didn’t wake him up.
Yuria and I followed Lien and organized the rest.
She was almost finished tidying up when Sylvia came out of her tent.
“Ugh… Are you done organizing it already? You’re doing it so quickly… Haaaaam…”
“Get up quickly. Get ready to move to the next area.”
When Sylvia woke up, she immediately checked to see if any items had gone missing during the night.
While Sylvia was checking, I sent a whisper to keep my promise to Ellie.
‘Good morning, Ellie. I’m sorry if you were sleeping and woke up because of me. We are preparing to move to Ar’estel. I’ll call you again at lunch.’
You can simply send it to me.
It feels like a long distance relationship.
“Hey~. I’m ready. Let’s move.”
The three of us, Sylvia and Lien, boarded Minercia and moved to the designated location.
Since the goods cannot be transported to Minercia at once, Yuria is in charge of guarding the goods.
Yuria guards the goods, Minercia alone moves the goods to where we are, and Yuria comes with her at the end.
“Minercia, please take care of me today as well.”
“Purr!”
Minersia flew towards Yuria again.
“It would be amazing if a transportation system like this was really in place… Would you ever want to work with me? I’ll pay you a lot of money.”
“I said I didn’t need any money for compensation. I’m sorry, but we have other things to do.”
Sylvia looked at Minercia with an envious expression.
“What do you have to do instead? Why are you asking me to help you find equipment instead of money?”
“Even if I explain it to you, it will probably be difficult for you to understand. We have a noble mission.”
It is truly a noble mission.
It is the job of a warrior who moves to protect this world.
It’s not something I do because I want to, though.
As long as I destroy the dimensional door that Demon comes through, I plan to live happily with my game characters.
When I asked Ellie, Yuria, and Lien in the past, they said that they were not very interested in the rise and fall of this world, and that they were trying to destroy the dimensional gate because of me, and if I hadn’t been there, they wouldn’t have paid much attention.
“I like a noble mission. I like it because it doesn’t cost a lot of money and I can meet the deadline.”
“Master, it looks like there are monsters here too.”
As Lien said, I looked around and saw orcs here and there.
“Lien, I’ll take care of the orcs.”
Before, it was difficult for me to catch a single goblin, but with everyone’s help and a few actual battles, my combat power increased significantly.
Well, the fact that the current weapon was +20 grams had the biggest impact.
Thanks to this weapon, my attack is a one-hit killer against most monsters.
I don’t think there will be any problem cutting down the monster called Ogre that I saw last time I was with Aria.
There were roughly 10 orcs in number, but the speed at which they attacked felt very slow.
If you think back to the movements of Ellie and Lien that you saw in the arena, or the attacks of Sword Master Gasta Knight that you saw at Brighton Castle, they are not threatening at all.
Still, if we were surrounded, we could be attacked at the same time, so we took down the orcs one by one without giving them a situation where they would be surrounded.
“Are you stronger than I thought? I thought you were someone who only relied on your subordinates. I never thought you could take down so many orcs by yourself. Moreover, seeing as you kill them one by one with one blow, do you think you are stronger than you look?”
Sylvia, watching me fight, offered her self-appreciation.
It feels good to hear things like that.
I feel like I have grown too.
Compared to Yuuri or Rien, I may be no different from a newborn, but I have grown to the point where I can keep my body in order by the standards of this world.
“Master, then I will restore it.”
“Okay. Where should I have fixed it this time?”
She killed all the orcs and listened to Lien explain what she had lacked in the previous battle.
There is still a long way to go.
After listening to her explanation and finishing arranging around her, Yuria came aboard Minercia and brought the rest of the supplies.
This pattern was repeated until she arrived at Are Estel.
“Is this Are Estel…?”
“Yes! This is my proud village!”
After three days, we arrived in Ar Estel.
Our luggage hasn’t all been moved yet, but we arrived first and are taking a look at the Ar’estel entrance.
It’s definitely a village of elves living in the forest, but from the outside it doesn’t look like a village, just a forest.
However, Sylvia says that there is a barrier that makes it look like a forest from the outside to prevent enemies from invading from the outside.
From the outside, it looks like a small forest, but it’s surprising that there are many elves living inside it.
As we waited for Yuria to arrive, other elves besides us began to gather.
It looks like he’s probably an elf who lives here.
“Why are you waiting over there instead of going in right away?”
“Huh? That’s right, Ar’estel has a set time for the barrier to be released. You can’t enter outside of that time.”
I looked around at the outfits of the waiting elves and saw that they were varied.
There were people wearing regular clothes like us, people wearing leather clothes like cavemen, and people wearing black robes covering their heads.
“Sylvia, why do elves have so many different clothes?”
“That’s because the elves from here often spread out and then come back. Their clothes are probably the clothes from where they came from.”
I see.
Did the person over there wearing a black robe live in the desert?
In the world where I lived, it was similar to the clothes worn by Arab people in which only their eyes were exposed and everything else was covered with black cloth.
“What is that!”
“It’s a dragon! It’s a dragon attack!”
Suddenly, the elves start to panic.
When I look back, I see Yuria flying in Minercia from afar.
The elves seem surprised to see Minercia.
As Minercia approached, all the elves retreated and tried to run away, but Minercia returned to its original size after putting down its burden.
“Jinuni~~~!”
“Good job, Yuria.”
After finishing her work, Yuria ran to me and hugged me.
Looking at her like this, it feels like she is raising a cute daughter.
Sylvia ignored us and began to check the items that Minercia had brought.
“We finally arrived. Now I can sleep in a more comfortable place.”
“S~~eup… Ha… I want to go to the dorm too… Hehe”
Looking at Yuria’s condition, it seems like her sexual desire is boiling over.
But.
As she moved, she slept in the tent with him, but she just slept and didn’t have sex.
Since she had to be on guard, she decided to endure it the next day so as not to strain herself.
It seems like it’s gotten to the point where I can’t take it anymore.
“Hmm, my lord. Please take care of me tonight.”
… It seems like Yuria isn’t the only one holding back.
“Hey! The barrier will soon be lifted! Get ready to go in.”
Sylvia shouted to us as we finished checking the items.
“But it’s said to be a barrier, but wouldn’t it be dangerous if the barrier were to open at a set time like this? I don’t think it would function as a barrier if you knew when it would open?”
“You don’t have to worry about that. They say it’s held at a set time, but the barrier filters out people with evil intentions to pose a threat to the village.”
The barrier judges people on the outside.
“It was a huge barrier. If it is determined that there is someone who poses a threat, will it not be opened at all?”
“That’s right. In that case, you can track down the culprit and eliminate him before he enters the village. How about that? Awesome!”
This definitely seems great.
“Furthermore, if you try to invade by cutting down a tree, the barrier itself will react and attack the external enemy. Thanks to this, Arestel has never allowed an enemy to invade for hundreds of years!”
“Is the person who performed this barrier spell one of your ancestors?”
When I asked, Sylvia looked at me in surprise.
“Wow! How did you know that?”
“I thought it was because he was so proud of it.”
While we were talking, the barrier seemed to have judged us, and light began to glow, and soon a path appeared in what seemed like only a forest.
I think you can probably just follow this path.
We entered the village pulling the cart we had prepared to move the goods.
