When he regained consciousness, his grandfather's face appeared in front of him and began to touch all over my body.
"Tickling, Grandpa!
"That's about as much patience!... from what I've seen and touched, it doesn't look like a big injury."
Grandpa, who made sure of my injury, helped me get my body out of bed so I could take care of it, and let him sit in bed. I thought I could do that without help, but because of the impact of the fight with Rich, I couldn't help it as much as I thought.
"With that said, what about Rich!?
I remember until the point where Rich's torso was shattered, but I didn't actually see anything shattered up close, so I thought maybe it was a pseudo to make him think he was dead.
"Hmm. I heard from Jeanne and looked at Rich's wreckage, but as far as I could tell, he was dead. At least that wreckage won't move. Just..."
I'm curious what Grandpa said. Waiting for it to continue,
I couldn't find the Devil's Nucleus.
The fact that the Demon Nucleus could not be found meant that that Rich could be alive.
"I could not find it, but I see that Rich's demonic nucleus could not withstand the magic of the Tenma and was likely shattered as well as the bones. The Magic of Tenma...... what kind of thing?
"You mean Takemikazchi?
"Bye. That Takemikazchi, like Tempest and Earth Quake, is a non-standard piece of magic. That's powerful enough to say an artificial natural disaster (...). It wouldn't be strange to grind Rich to pieces."
"Takemikazchi" is not surprising when the demonic nucleus disappears without a trace, as the instantaneous power is much higher than the other two. But I was also certain that I was unconvinced somewhere.
"There's no way to be sure, so it's not something to think about very deeply. Now it's a priority to rest your body."
That's what Grandpa said, he left the carriage. That's when I looked around, but it looks like I'm the only one left in the carriage.
"Dull......"
After my grandfather was gone, I suddenly learned how weak my body was, and I tried to fall into bed and lay down.
(Still, is that Rich really dead?
Sure, at that time, I succeeded in striking the most powerful magic I could use in a near perfect way, but I was still concerned that I couldn't find the Devil's Nucleus. That would be one of the reasons Rich was so many times stronger than he had imagined, after starting and fighting Rich.
(I have a lot to think about, but as Grandpa said, healing my body is the first step...)
If, as I was worried, Rich was alive, and when he was brought to revenge in his present state, it was anxious that Grandpa was the only one who could magically counter him. It's not that Grandpa or everyone else is powerless, I'm afraid Rich's magic (trap) is unknown, including everyone except Jeanne.
All I can do right now is take a break.
It was my first experience when I was worried about when I would be attacked, but I couldn't count myself as a force. My body is tired even though I hold such a stuffy thing, so when was I falling asleep?
"Fuhiha!
Suddenly a strange scream sounded like a carriage, and when I heard it, I woke up. Moving his face and searching for the Lord of his voice, at the end of his gaze was Aura with her buttocks on.
The Aura is now eye-tightening with her buttocks on. Next to Aura, Jeanne looked to heaven.
"Yeah - that's good...... are you okay?
"Aura...... rather your head is better?
The two of you must have come to see me, too. On that evidence, Jeanne had a bucket of water and a towel in her hand... I'm so glad it wasn't Aura who had it.
"How long has it been since then?
"Eh... about three to four hours after the battle with Rich?
"Is that all it's been? Looks a lot brighter out there, huh?
The light was coming into the carriage from the gap in the curtain, and I thought the sun was rising from its brightness, but it seemed different. Jeanne's story is that she increased the number of bonfires so that she could discover the enemy faster than the danger of being discovered by the enemy. And they say the fort is already on the move, risking the possibility that Rich is setting a trap.
"Master Merlin says this is more than ten kilometers from the fort."
Everyone on the lookout participates, and furthermore, they send out most of the golems they keep in Suralin to keep their surroundings on alert. They came to see how I was doing between breaks. And they say Aura snapped.
"So, something strange happened?
"No. Sometimes a wolf comes close, but the golem just comes close and runs away, and so far there's no big problem."
Everyone seems more tired because they're more concerned than usual, but they're more in the mood than that. Grandpa, among other things, said, "I didn't notice Rich even though he was called a 'sage'," and while I was asleep he was depressed more intensely, but since I regained consciousness, he's so scared of the way I'm in the mood. Such grandpa seems to be actively mixing with the golems right now to alert the area. But he seems too temperamental and his eyes are running bloody, and he was mistaken for a demon about three times. By the way, they got it wrong: Lion, Mr. Chris, Amur. He said he didn't attack Grandpa on the boulder, but that was how powerful it was.
"The sun will rise in the next few hours, so until then, we'll have to consolidate our protection here, and then we'll go all the way to the next destination city at once."
Our next destination is' Russell City ', the closest city to the village of Kukri. There must still be people there who know Grandpa very well, and they know very well what happened in Kukri Village. So they're going to report Rich's presence and combat in Russell City, and the possibility that he's still alive. I was originally going to stop by Russell City, so it was just a few days earlier than planned.
"You seem to be able to work the least, so let me know if anything happens."
"Yeah, okay."
That's what Jeanne said, putting the towel and the bucket in front of me. Even though I said I understand, it was a light way of saying it, so I probably won't even let you know if anything happens.
"Aura"
"Yes?"
I gave Jeanne a confidential order (...) to call Aura in the gap where she left off and if anything happened to her.
Aura was perplexed by the order, but made him obey it in a slightly threatening way: 'Who is Aura's Lord' or 'If you cannot keep the order, you must consult Aina'. Most importantly, I don't think there's anything that I didn't realize was imminent, but it's insurance considering it's not in perfect condition.
"Were you talking about something?
"Heh? No, the..."
"I asked Aura to let Grandpa down."
Jeanne was suspicious of Aura's behavioral distrust, so using the excuse she had in mind, Jeanne immediately affirmed, "You can't," she said. But when I said, "If I'd done something stupid like I always do, I might go back to normal," this time I was thinking with a serious look.
"I didn't do that!
Aura had denied it, but Jeanne had sighed after taking a glimpse of Aura like that. I'm sorry, but it's a form of using your image of Aura. Well, 'as always' is an overstatement, but it's true that Aina is often mad at me for doing stupid things and dodgy things, and even if not, I have the impression that Aura is often doing stupid things.
"Well, if it's enough for Master Merlin to go back to normal with Aura's Doji, I won't have a hard time... Aura, you want to try?
"Want to try? So, you can't be dodgy!
"Jeanne, Aura... what are you doing?
"Skip?"
Watching the two comics talent, Chris, who noticed the noise, quietly opened the door and grabbed the two necks. Behind it also stands Amur, a disgruntled expression.
"No, um... Aura's a little..."
"I am innocent!
I sold Aura, Jeanne, but it didn't seem to work for Mr. Chris, and it seems more painful than earlier if he had more power to grab his neck muscles.
"Jeanne... it's the usual thing for Aura to do."
"Amur's right. It's your role to follow Aura's Doji. What are you gonna do with all that noise together?
That's what Mr. Chris and Amur said, taking them outside in a frightened manner.
"Ah!"
I thought, only Amur came back.
For a moment, he said, 'Are you willing to make a fool out of me?' I suspected, 'but Amur has grown as a woman since joining Mr. Leni, so I guess there's some good reason.
"Tenma, this"
What Amur took out of the bag was like a black stick.
"Is this... Xiao Wumaru?
If you take a closer look at that stick, it was Little Wu Wan pierced the rich before using 'Takemikazuchi'.
"Mm-hmm. I recovered it"
Xiao Wumaru was dirty with coal and other things because of the direct hit of "Takemikazchi" with Rich. Moreover, the impact of "Takemikazchi" had eliminated such things as patterns and violets. Honestly, it's so strange that my body remains in its original form.
Reaching out to receive Xiaowu Wan, Amur pulled Xiaowu Wan back just before.
"Tenma, promise Xiao Wumaru will put it in the bag soon?
"Huh?"
"It's about Tenma, so I feel like I'm free or something and I'm going to start taking care of Xiao Wumaru. That delays recovery."
Amur was right, if I had received Xiaowumaru without being told anything like this, I would definitely have started taking care of it first.
Aren't you going to demand something for a moment to worry about Amur like that? I was ashamed of myself for doubting.
"Thank you for your concern, Amur. But as Amur said, I'm worried about Xiao Wumaru, so why don't you leave it with Grandpa or Slalin?
"Okay. I think that would be better."
When Amur listened to me, he nodded and wrapped Xiao Wumaru in his bag.
"And tell them to take a proper break, and then distribute this to everyone. I think Jeanne or Aura has the tea, so if you tell them both, they'll make it."
That's what I gave Amur, a treat I always have in my bag. A break from eating something sweet would calm Grandpa down some.
"I've been entrusted!... Can I eat one first?
When I nodded, Amur threw a piece of cookie into his mouth and then went outside with a treat.
A little after Amur left, I heard a bright voice from the outside, so I guess I could change my mood somewhat.
"Ah! Tenma, I'm up"
"How's it going?
The next time I woke up, Amur, who was beside the bed, noticed first, followed by Mr. Chris asking how he was doing. Occasionally, the carriage is shaking and bouncing heavily, so it seems to be traveling at considerable speeds.
"Not at all fast, but it seems to be getting a lot better"
When I turned my shoulders to see how my body was doing, it was easier than before I went to bed, although I felt sloppy and tired.
"Don't just push it... That's not what I can say about the Rich trap..."
I guess Chris is concerned that he wasn't as helpful as his grandfather.
"That Rich is like a substandard demon, and we're all safe, so don't worry about it."
Chris grabbed me by the shoulder as I tried to get out of bed by speaking to Mr. Chris. Mr. Chris was trying to put me to bed, but when he found out I wanted to go to the bathroom, he hurried his hands off. However,
"Danger!"
Go to the bathroom! And the moment I got up and took a step, the carriage bounced in good time, and I was out of balance. The moment I lost my balance, Mr. Chris and Amur supported me in the form of holding both sides.
"Tenma, I can't do that yet... I'll lend you my shoulder"
With that said, Mr. Chris tried to lend me his shoulder to go to the bathroom. On the other side of it, Amur does the same.
It desperately resisted being embarrassed, but in its present state it could not resist the two of them, and the door of the toilet (unit bath) was approaching one by one. There is no way that it will be clear between additions to boulders, but being cared for by a young woman at this age was a lot tough.
"Seniors, Amur, I will change. I feel sorry for the boulder."
Cain, who slept in the noise when he resisted, woke up and was to accompany him instead of the two of us. It doesn't make any difference what it looks like to be a caregiver, but the person just changed from heterosexual to same-sex, and my mind was pretty calm.
"Cain, please!
"Yes, yes, I've been entrusted"
Since I had clearly nominated Cain, Mr. Chris and Amur gave up their nursing role and returned to their original seats. At that time I didn't see Amur's face, but Mr. Chris looked somewhat unfortunate.
"Tenma... the crisis of chastity has left."
Cain kept the bathroom door shut and whispered something like that. I was thinking the same thing, but I was only able to return a bitter laugh to Cain because I was half as likely to act because I was purely worried...
"Now, wipe your body."
Cain finished the bathroom. He had a bucket full of hot water and a hand tub for me. As they say, I sit back in the chair by the tub and wipe my body,
"Tenma, maybe, but I think the whole Kukri village area will be sealed off as a danger zone. Of course, if the investigation is completed and it is determined that there is no danger, it will be lifted, but I do not know when the lifting will take place because 'The Great Forest' is still where the full story has not been clarified"
I started talking about that. Perhaps, but since Albert and the next Neighborhood uncle Lion will have been exchanged to talk about this story, although it depends on the judgment of Neighborhood uncle, it can be seen as a matter of decision at present.
"And it's about Rich, but I think they'll lay down a warrant. We can't spread the word at the general level that there are demons who have hunted down the militant champion's temper to the point where his life and death are unknown and there are other similar demons."
Detailed information will only be shared among the king, the upper ranks of the army, and some of the higher nobles, and the lower nobles and associates will be edited and circulated to information convenient to them as a nation.
"Please, don't let Tenma pass information on to Darkless Arrow Cod either"
The way you say it is using the word 'please', but you can essentially think of it as an order of nobility.
"It's up to the king and the border uncle. Even for me on the boulder, if this information is disseminated to the public in the same way as it is, I can imagine that there will be no people from towns and villages close to Kukri Village."
Some parts are unconvincing, but I don't want to play poorly and confuse Borderline Uncle Territorial. When I agreed, Cain's atmosphere softened.
"I'll tell Lion what Tenma thinks. Because it seemed like he was worried about how to ask Tenma."
Lion worried about how he would cut me out, and once he decided to send the story forward, he said he was doing it with his grandfather now.
"To Master Merlin and Jeanne. The Amurs say" Depends on the Tenma, "and Senior Chris says" Depends on Your Majesty, "so Lion's stress wouldn't have hammered it. But the majority is going to be on my side because Tenma convinced me, and maybe this will make Lion a little easier."
Kayne talks about Lion like she's always kidding, but I guess I was just worried about saying she was my best friend.
Spending time like that,
"Cain, Tenma, is it still going to take? I'd like to use the bathroom, too."
Albert called as he knocked on the door.
"Sorry. I was wiping my body at last, so it took me a little while"
As soon as I got dressed and went outside, Albert was waiting in front of the door.
"Sorry I rushed you"
Jeanne and the others were awake when she gave Albert the bath unit and went back to bed, supported by Cain.
"Tenma, do you want porridge?
Jeanne was trying to prepare porridge, but I didn't have an appetite, so I just asked for water and sat back on the bed.
"Yes, water...... is that okay?
"Well, somehow..."
If I'm going to sit in bed, Slalin and the others are coming. Slalin extends her tentacles and rubs her shoulders and back like a massage, but Shiloumar and Solomon have their jaws on one of my thighs at a time. Even though they wear collars and are getting smaller, they are pretty cramped when the two are at the same time, but they are not willing to give in to each other, and they were forced to put them on.
"All three of them were worried about Tenma. So, what about Gol and Jill?
"As usual, I'm pulling in my bag and in my internal job. Maybe he doesn't know about Rich or that I'm down."
I don't think the two of them are thin, they just really don't realize this. Either way, it's been more than three years since I took the tame, but I've barely been out of the bag, and it seems that most of them are in the mansion. There is no way we can think of two of those going out into the camp, and therefore, as far as the two are concerned, we have to think of them as' no choice '.
"I'm glad you two are inspiring me to do my job."
It was Cain who came into the conversation with Jeanne. Why would I be happy, because with more yarn to be made, there's more chance of turning to cain. The yarns I make are backwards, and the yarns I didn't use are occasionally divided into people close to me. And Cain said it was time for him to get it. By the way, I don't know what order I'm waiting. But Maria is involved in the management of the order, so no one complains about how long she's been waiting, and there's been no trouble.
"Not two standard high quality, but even yarns below that are generally super high quality, so let's do that one?
The high quality of the two standards is a national treasure (but not strange) level, with medium quality generally rated as super high quality and low quality as high quality. And yarn below high quality produces more than high quality, and we have enough in stock to give it to Cain. However,
"I'll stop. Because I want high quality yarns anyway, and if I get other yarns here, they might skip the order."
That's what happened. Sure, that's possible. The two yarns are likely to be traded for a considerable price if they are placed on the market, and Maria would say that the yarn is yarn even if it is of medium quality and would not skip the order of caine.
"Sure, that's easy."
As Cain and I laughed at each other, I felt the carriage slowing down.
"Ooh. I can see Russell City."
I heard Lion, so I opened the window and looked outside, and I saw a city that looked familiar up front.
It's been roughly six years since Russell City came to rescue me when I was a dragon zombie. Last time, however, I jumped into the guild in a straight line and returned as soon as I made the request, so this is the first time I have visited in due process.
"Well, there's not going to be anything I can do to keep you fit."
I couldn't help but say that for today, it was me who decided to sleep in the inn.
