-Yes, tonight was the day the slave market was to be held.
The merchants, who were expecting the appearance of Ophir and his bandits, based on their previous experience, had cooperated to increase the number of adventurers to guard them.
The bandits were certainly a nuisance, but the only problem was Ophir, the axe saint.
If this was the case, it would be good if they could buy some time to conclude the business negotiations.
With this in mind, they probably increased the number of personnel significantly.
But it was convenient for us, too.
Because we wanted more people to see what was about to happen.
And the time will come.
--I'll be there!
「「「「「Whoosh!?」」」」」
The residents scream as a sandstorm suddenly hits Afrar.
But the real horror began here.
......What? What the heck is this?
People collapsed with a rash-like appearance all over their bodies.
--Yes, it's a plague.
Everyone there, young and old, male and female, fell to the ground and became painfully unable to move.
The town that had been so bustling with activity was instantly enveloped in silence.
Of course, this was the work of Trubo rather than us .......
He had prepared a little plague that paralyzed the body to the extent that it could not move.
Of course, even if a baby or a frail old man were to catch it, it would not kill him.
However, most of them were innocent and good people, and I am truly sorry for what I have done.
But if I hadn't done such a big play, I couldn't have saved everyone.
--Googling!
So in order to make the play a success, I turned into a firebird and flew over the town, then stayed on top of the tallest building.
And again, with the help of Trubo-sama, the wind altered my voice a little and sent it throughout the town.
I was too late. --You have incurred the wrath of the wind god. It is outrageous that you, human beings, should treat the creator of the gods as if he were a thing and sell him off. The Axe Lady had risked her life to stop you, and you did nothing to stop her. And this is the result.
He continued in a grave, admonishing tone.
Perhaps some of you don't even know what you're talking about. But by God's measure, that is not the way it works. Know that it is your fault for not cooperating with one another. And this calamity will ride the wind of God and fly to all those you hold dear and consume them.
「「「「「--?
Hearing this, the faces of the adventurers, not to mention the residents, turned desperate.
It was only natural.
It was their own fault that their loved ones had to suffer.
But it is indeed heartbreaking.
I don't mind if the slavers suffer, but I've frightened people who have nothing to do with it.
Well, it can't be helped in thinking about the future of the town. ......
Anyway, I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.
I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with this.
I continued as hope filled the faces of the people.
I vowed that I would never make the same mistake again, and that I would never let my sins be repeated. And those of you who have committed the sin of human trafficking, raise your voices in high spirits. Let your voice be heard by the god of the wind. But know that this is your first and last chance--falsehood leads to immediate death.
If this doesn't work, there will be nothing more we can do.
So please ......! I kept praying in my heart.
And then...
"I have committed the sin of peddling!
"I, too!
"I am so sorry!
I was relieved to hear the voices of the merchants one after the other.
I was relieved to hear the voices of merchants one after another.
The problem was then.
If I had cured the disease immediately, it would have been the same thing all over again.
Therefore, we decided to prolong the illness of those who had voiced their concerns.
We also asked about the daredevils who had not raised their voices, and we decided to inflict even more pain on them.
To be more specific, we decided to make them suffer to the fullest until Trubaugh's approval was granted.
I hope they will do their best to get his approval.
Anyway, the case came to an end like that, and the town of Afrar became lively again.
The only thing that has changed is that stone monuments worshipping the wind god have been urgently erected all over the town.
I am sure that every time people see this monument, they will be reminded of themselves.
I hope that adventurers and travelers will pass on what happened here to other towns.
But that's about it.
What is this?
Tolbaugh gives us (or rather Ophir) a half-glance.
Because, you know.
"Wow, it's Megami-sama's house!
Wow, it's a big house! A big house!
Wow! Yay!
This is because the children of the bandits and those who were to be sold into slavery were running around inside the Temple of the Wind.
I'm going to go with these guys. Take care of those kids.
Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me, Ophir? You want me to babysit humans?
"Oh, yes. You like children, don't you? Then why not? There's a big one, too, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
You want to get killed? Ophir. No, I'd rather kill you. Get over there right now.
Tolboe-sama's intimidating presence was on full display.
But.
"...... mmm?"
Then, the hem of her skirt was pulled down, and the child, who was only about three years old, said to Trudeau, "I'm going to pee.
"...... pee."
What? Oh, hey, wait a minute! I'll take you there now, but don't pee there! You understand? You hear me?
The child was lifted up with a thud, and Mr. Trubo was flustered.
We were all slightly relieved to know that this must have been how he felt when he was raising Ophir.
