Chapter 119 – How to Save the Race.
After making their decision, they immediately left the village chief’s house.
“As expected, I see the most adventurers.”
Adventurers were easy to distinguish from villagers because they wore plates corresponding to their level around their necks.
“Most of them are men.”
Lucia made a subtle expression as she observed them together with Tiaran. As she said, the few adventurers wandering around the village were all men.
Sometimes, when they encountered Tiaran’s group, they glared at them as if they were uninvited guests trespassing into their own space.
“Wow! You can’t believe you came to a place like this with such beauties!”
“It’s against the rules!”
“Is that bastard still bragging here!?”
This was understandable considering that the vast majority of them had women by their side. Some of them were even seen in Sorrent’s adventurer branch.
“It’s a town with a lot of beautiful women, but aren’t you too blatantly showing off that you came here to seduce women?”
“What are these women who fall for men like that…?”
Anise could not hide her negative gaze upon seeing the adventurers as they were hostile towards Tiaran, and Krusha also looked at the women next to them with questioning eyes.
“It must be because there are no men in the village.”
“I guess so.”
“That’s right. I heard there’s a water spirit living nearby, right?”
Krusha looked at the lake, which was clearly visible even from this village, with a confused expression.
“It’s normal for the man’s seed to not dry up when the lake where the water spirit lives is this close.”
Wasn’t the rabbit beastman’s letter that immediately came to Sizak asking for help because the seeds of men had dried up?
“Still, it’s my first time seeing you, so is it okay to do that?”
“This is a method practiced in surprisingly many villages.”
“Kek! Really?”
Crusha had a disapproving expression, but looked at Lucia and Anis as if surprised by Tiaran’s story and asking if it was true.
“Does it feel like an arranged marriage?”
“Even where I used to live, I sometimes saw an older sister I knew marrying a stranger to her.”
Since Lucia was originally distant from her life and did not know much about it, their eyes naturally turned to Anis, and she had no choice but to share her own experience.
“To supplement, I drew it because the village itself is structured well for isolation.”
First of all, even if we maintain an era close to the Middle Ages, there is a certain degree of caution against incest, which is often expressed as thickening blood.
‘I don’t know how much is being protected.’
Nevertheless, it is still an erotic game world in that there are fewer boundaries against incest than you might think.
“Even nobles consider marriage to be a business, so would it be any different if you were a commoner who wanted to live a better life?”
“You can see it from that perspective…?”
Lucia nodded curiously at his words without thinking, and then looked at Anis. Because once I really understood it, she was a prime example of her. That’s why she noticed Anis for a while.
“Is there something wrong?”
“It’s nothing.”
Fortunately, Anis appears to be unconcerned, perhaps because she is unaware that the story is similar to her own, or because she considers it to be something that has already happened in the past. We continued to explore the village, chatting occasionally.
“I don’t see anything suspicious?”
Since the village wasn’t large, it didn’t take them long to walk around, but they couldn’t find anything suspicious.
“First of all, I know there are a lot of inns…”
“It’s common in places that do tourism.”
What unique features there were common in villages that make tourism their livelihood, so they were nothing special.
“But why is it suspicious?”
“Something is strange. I can’t explain it.”
Nevertheless, their doubts only increased rather than subsided. First, I entered a quiet alley, took a break, and was reviewing the appearance of the village.
“It must be because of the villagers. Boom!”
“””Pyeong?”””
An unfamiliar woman’s voice came between them. Perhaps because of his speaking style, he added a unique sound to the ending, and all their eyes turned to find the owner of the voice.
“Trash can?”
“It’s a trash can.”
“It’s a trash can.”
What they saw was a wooden trash can. I was wondering if it could be used because the surface of the tree had peeled off and cracked like a fruit peel because it had been left for quite a long time.
“For some reason, I am indebted to this town’s trash can. Boom!”
“What on earth happened to end up in a trash can?”
“Hehe! That’s because an amazing adventure followed me! Boom!”
Isn’t the owner of the trash can so positive that he responds as if he is proud of Lucia’s absurd comments?
“No matter how great the adventure, I don’t want to end up in a trash can?!”
“Kugung! That’s impossible!”
I was so proud of it that I didn’t add the strange word ‘byung’ at the end.
“Why don’t you come out and talk first?”
“That’s not possible! Boom!”
“Why?”
“I already told you! Boom! Once I get out of the trash can, I face another great adventure! Boom!”
Krusha looked with pitiful eyes at someone in the trash can who reacted violently to Anise’s simple recommendation.
“You’re saying he just ran away.”
“Bang!? How could you say such harsh words!?”
“Anyway, since we’re the only ones around, why don’t we come out?”
“I refuse. Boom!”
“Why?”
This time, Krusha tried to persuade someone, but this time, someone refused.
“Umhuhu! There’s a time for everything! Boom!”
“… No matter how grandiose it is, it’s useless!?”
In the end, after confirming that she refused all of their recommendations, Tia Ran overturned her trash can without hesitation.
“I am the one who decides the time!”
“Aaaaah?!”
Then it wasn’t the trash that poured out. On the outside, it looked like an ordinary trash can, but the volume of the items turned over was clearly not enough to fit into the trash can.
“Did you really make a living in a trash can?!”
“More than that, how on earth did it all get in there?”
“There is a frying pan and cooking oil.”
Aren’t the contents actually usable daily necessities or furniture? At the end of the pile of items, a girl who appeared to be the owner of the voice that had been talking to them just a moment ago was seen at the top.
“A rabbit beast?”
Anise muttered as she noticed long, fluffy white furry rabbit ears perking up on her head.
Her sky-blue hair that reached down to her waist, bright red eyes like rubies that looked surprised, and even a furry tail.
All of that taught me that I am a rabbit beast.
“Huh, how did you lift it? Poof!”
“Did you just hear that?”
She was sitting blankly looking at Tia Ran, who was trying to destroy her trash can, with her bewildered eyes.
“Unbelievable… Hot?!”
Then, as if she came to her senses, she hurriedly pressed down her long ears with both hands and hid them.
“Don’t eat it! Boom!”
And the sight of it curled up and trembling is a small animal itself, as if it were a rabbit beast.
“Hmm, it’s a rabbit. Do you think it would be a good idea to boil it and make it into a stew?”
“Hey!?”
“I think whole roast would be good.”
Tiaran, as Tiaran did, became sadistic at the sight and muttered to herself, licking her lips.
“Save me! Boo! I have no taste! Boo!”
Match! Lucia joined in, clapping her hands as she stood up and screamed, as if she really thought she was going to be eaten.
“Let’s stop joking around and talk about the request. It’s a request we barely found, right?”
“Pyeong? If it’s the subject of the request…!”
The rabbit beast opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to look at them, as if he realized something.
“Are these people sent by the owner of Sorrent? Boom!”
“Well, that’s right. There’s a letter here too.”
Soon, when Tiaran handed her the letter she had received from Sizak, she opened it and checked it, and then she started jumping in place and rejoicing.
“Thank God! I’m so glad! Boom! The Lord of Sorrent has sent down a savior! Boom!”
“A savior. When did we become something so grandiose?”
Since Krusha was simply here to resolve a request, the rabbit beast shook his head as Crusha looked shocked at the grandiose title of savior.
“No! Boom! It’s definitely a savior! Boom!”
She was so happy that she held the letter he returned in her arms and made a fuss, but immediately stood up as if she had come to her senses.
“Sorry for the late introduction! Boo! My name is Inaba! Boo!”
“Inaba…?”
“It’s a unique name.”
Tia Ran tilted her head, a sense of discomfort passing through her head at the moment.
‘What? This feeling. Where have you experienced this before?’
He was pondering what the sensation meant, but the story continued.
“It was in the trash can the whole time, right?”
“That’s right, bam!”
Because Anis seemed to be unable to contain her curiosity and asked Inaba a question.
“Then do you know why this town is strange?”
“… Because we changed the method of reproduction. Boom.”
“”””Another way?””””
Everyone had the same questions. There’s another way. Could there be another way for humans to do that?
“You can tell by looking there. Boom.”
The place Inaba pointed to was a nearby inn.
“Doesn’t it matter that there are many inns?”
“I already checked everything.”
I thought it meant to check the inn again, but the real meaning was revealed in the next moment.
“ANG♡”
“””?!”””
“Huh, easy.”
Because moans came from that inn. No, if it had been an ordinary moan, it wouldn’t have been this shocking. Because those moans could not be said to belong to a woman.
“Crazy! Aren’t you a woman?!”
“It’s too late for you to realize it now♡”
“Oh, come on! I didn’t plan on doing this!”
“Hehe, this place is already ready, so don’t worry♡ Customer♡”
The desperate scream that followed was enough to send shivers down Tiaran’s spine.
“You said she was raised as a woman from a young age to prevent herself from being kidnapped by the water spirit.”
Then why were there only women in the village until now? Now I can understand why she continued to feel uncomfortable despite the understandable reasons.
The water spirits aren’t stupid either, so if they notice anything that looks like a boy, they’ll immediately snatch it away, so naturally, the only ones that would survive would be really girly boys.
“… Are you saying that only the female children survived, and this village became unable to distinguish between men and women?”
“Now that I think about it, Erenia is a town famous for ‘beauties’, not ‘beauties’…!”
“Well, then. She changed her methods?”
“By taking advantage of their weak points and making them stay in the village. Boom.”
For reference, for adventurers, especially men, relationships with people of the same sex are, of course, considered very shameful. That means. This means that this village is setting up a sophisticated honey trap against adventurers.
Of course, he might be lucky enough to have a relationship with the opposite sex, but it was clear that he thought that was fine. It was obvious why this fact was not known to the outside world.
‘Is this a sign that I am the only one who can’t be defeated?!’
Considering the physiology of the adventurer race, it was not a strange guess at all.
