Chapter 123: CH 122

Marius continues to speak.

“You may have heard it to some extent but, the outbreak happened before we were dispatched here to kill it and the damage was already done. Of course, I am talking about the elven village.”

As I was being treated for my injuries, I glanced at Liddy-san but there was no particular change in her facial expression.

“It seems that they managed to stop it at that time but the damage was too great…”

They used that sword at that time. Because it needed life force, some people have been sacrificed.

“The number of people in the village has dropped sharply and it is impossible to rebuild it as it is. Therefore, this elf village was abandoned and the people of the village moved to other villages.”

“What about the cave there?”

“The state will manage it. If we leave the village like that, bandits may settle in so we will station the army there. The cave and the plaza where we are currently stationed will be mainly used as a training ground for recruits.”

“…Ah-, you mean a training ground where infinite opponents can be born huh.”

“Exactly”

I’m not sure how often they spring up, but I do know that the elves have their own normal way of living so they can’t go to the caves as often as they’d like. Given that, there would surely be a lot of those monsters.

In that regard, if it was a military training, they could go into the cave once every two days or so, and if they clear up the cave, it would be unlikely that powerful monsters would spring up. I wonder why they haven’t done so until now, but I guess they were just looking out for their village or something.

“So, what is it that Liddy-san wants me to do for her?”

“Frankly speaking, I want Liddy-dono to live in your house.”

“Ha?”

I made a stupefied voice. No wait, didn’t the elves move to another village?

“The people of this village will move to another place, in that case, it will take longer when we want to borrow the knowledge of the elven people.”

“Is this the closest village to the Capital?”

“That’s right. So I want to keep one of them close by. Given that, I thought it’s best for her to live in the Capital but it seems that it’s not applicable for the elves, right?”

“Yes”

Liddy-san nods in assent. Well, elves need to replenish their magical powers. In a place like the Capital, where magical power is weak, it will be difficult to continue living for a few days. Strictly speaking, it may be good to come to the Black Forest once every few days to replenish their magical power but it is not very efficient.

Marius continued on.

“If it’s doable, she would probably live in the Capital… Then, when I asked her, I heard that the closest place to the Capital is the black forest. That is, your house is the most convenient place to go. That’s what she requested then.”

Liddy-san nodded her head again. When it comes to meeting the conditions, my house is certainly the best option.

“Is Liddy-san sure about this?”

“Yes, if it doesn’t bother Eizou-san.”

“No, it’s not a bother but you’ll be away from the people of your village you know.”

“Yes, I know.”

I think she has a family there so I’m not sure if it’s really okay. I’m afraid to ask if there are complicated circumstances in that area though. Since she is an elf, I don’t know how old she really is but she is probably not a child anymore. If she says it is okay, then it’s fine then.

“Understood. Let’s do that.”

“Thank you very much.”

“Thanks as well.”

Liddy-san and Marius thanked me.

“It’s not necessary you know.”

I waved my hand in response. It is a merit for us to have Liddy-san come. Perhaps the “elven knowledge they want to borrow” is about magic, and it’s a knowledge I don’t have right now. That’s also why I spent my time completely ignorant of the phenomena around magic. Rike can also do some blacksmithing by applying magical power, it’s a Win-Win situation for us.

Thus came the end of the discussion about the “additional request”. Marius told me to use the reserve fund under his name, but I refused. As long as one lives in my house, I want them to live as my family. I’ve only ever known one family to have a reserve fund. It’s also not in my intention so I won’t accept it. I just said, “I’ll get the proper amount from my blacksmithing work anyway.”

After talking to Marius and the others, we all left the tent, the rest of the subjugation team were also out of the cave. Whether or not it’s an “expedition” until we get home, this completes the main mission this time.

After seeing that we come out of the tent,

“Gather around!”

Leroy issued a command. Except for the injured soldiers and those who are taking care of them, they all lined up. Liddy-san and I hurriedly moved away from the line.

“This time has been tough for you guys. Thanks to your efforts, we were able to safely wipe out the monsters that nest in this land.”

Marius makes a speech to the soldiers in line and Miss Frederica writes it down. She may also be an observer from the state.

“As I told you before our departure, I can’t give you rewards that is to your heart’s content but, I believe you’ve gained a lot from this experience.”

In the previous world, it may be called “rewarding exploitation”, but this time, we will have to agree with each other. In fact, I think this is a big thing whether or not one has gone through a real battle.

“Fortunately, no one lost their lives this time, but some were seriously injured by devoting themselves. Please applaud their dedication and courage!”

There was a sudden round of applause. I and Liddy-san also applauded.

“Now then, let’s go home. It’s a triumphant return!”

Applause and cheers recurred, which seemed to go on forever.
