Chapter 912: 897 The Invaders Part 2 of 3

Chapter 897 The Invaders Part 2 of 3

Somehow, this oracle that has been told to them is somewhat related to me or perhaps to everyone who is with me as the one who bears the sign of Glutton. I may not be the one who is the one who officially bears the sign of the Gluttony sin, but the Versatile Weapon surely does. So learning this matter made me a bit more curious about what the invaders are.

Unfortunately, the tribe members and their leaders have no idea who they are what they are going to do, and why they would try to pillage the camp. Are they bandits or bad guys? No idea. Perhaps they are, perhaps they aren't.

"Um, I know that you are still a bit angry that my daughter attacked you out of nowhere and I know you must be upset that we all labeled you and your companions as the invaders but please forgive us for this transgression. We are calmly asking for us to get our daughter back, but in exchange, we will be doing whatever you want us to do or we will try to offer you our riches in exchange for her safety."

I shook my head. "We don't need your riches as we have everything we wanted to have at our disposal. However, since you are offering us that you all will do whatever we want you all to do, I think I am starting to see some kind of interest in accepting this proposal."

Although she was the one who gave the proposal, I could see that she was nervous as she involuntarily gulped her saliva as she looked at me. Perhaps her uncertainty about what I would ask them to do made her feel a bit of fear.

"Let's head outside. I will give you the task. Your husband should also do this as well. The more, the better but for now, the two of you should do just fine."

They reluctantly nodded and I led them out, as for their daughter, I asked Riko to let her sleep on the sofa for now. The elves didn't engage in our conversation and just looked at us with interest. I guess it's not that interesting enough or participate to join them without them forcing me at all.

Once we arrived, I led them to the crate of the monster I defeated earlier then patted it repeatedly for the two to see.

"There is currently meat inside the container there but if you want to do anything I told you, then do just that and prepare the meat."

"P-prepare the meat?" she looked at me with a confused look.

"Yes. If I am satisfied with how your work looks, then you guys will earn her freedom back. That simple and easy, now begin."

After giving her the task, the parents started trying to triumph over the job I gave them and proceeded to work diligently. Based on how they move, they do show that they are very capable of doing things that are fit for them who are in the business of hunting monsters.

"Wait...isn't this...?" Ragga seems to recognize the monster I killed and inspected the monster parts thoroughly.

"Are you sure it was "that" monster? Maybe you are just mistaken or something?" Mimiko continues to process the monster parts, thoroughly skin the unskinned parts and separate the unprocessed leather from the meat. She was quite quick that I was catching a few pointers while they were actually doing it, making it bit of a great thing to apply in the next chances I do something the same.

"Yeah, these body parts, they sure do look like the ones I know. I am 90 percent sure about it."

"What about the 10 percent?"

"I do still have my reservations that maybe I was wrong. But I am plenty sure that this monster was that monster I know."

I listened to their banter while they continue to do the work. While doing so, I keep on thinking back on the oracle. Just what was this invaders that was on the oracle? And why is it that the bearer of the Glutton sign is the one who will resolve all the matter involving the invaders? Perhaps it was due to our involvement that made the invaders invade in the first place? Or do they already are predetermined and we are just there conveniently when it happened?

As such, I keep on imagining what kind of enemies the invaders are. From the sounds of the oracle, they sounded like a bunch of outlaws that appeared all of a sudden, then started pillaging for the sake of obtaining riches. And since they also gather the girls as well, it must mean they are also involved in dealing with slavery as well.

But then, something clicked in to me. In terms of that happening lately that is very similar to what the oracle entails, there is one that is very identical to the description itself. In fact, if they are the ones in the list, shouldn't they be the main candidate as the invaders?

Who am I talking about? It was the demons.

Perhaps it wasn't a coincidence that I happen to defeat a few of them pillaging villages and kidnapping women in the process. Perhaps it was all connected in the first place and an attack will soon happen? It is just too coincidental and the uncanny resemblance of the oracle itself and the deeds the demons doing right now is very close it's no longer funny. Perhaps I was onto something and maybe I have hit the right answer.

I shook my head and just decided that it's still to early for my speculation. But since I have an idea on who it was, perhaps trapping those invaders will be a good idea to deal with them before they become a big problem that I have to solve for later? Nipping the bud of the problem will be the best option I have right now and even the camp of the tribe will benefit as well even if my assumption on who the invader is wrong.

Once they are done, maybe I should share my thoughts to Mimiko and Ragga.

As they continue to process the parts, they soon finished half of the parts and are proceeding very quickly into the other parts. The leather produced was also quite well done that if compared to how I do the process would pale in comparison.

Then, they reached out on the next piece and they soon removed the head that I included as well. When they saw that, Ragga almost staggered after seeing the beast itself. Even Mimiko was pretty much surprised as well even though they seemed to have an idea on what kind of beast they were currently processing.

Despite their initial surprise, the moment they looked at my direction and saw me watching them work, they immediately returned to their work without question. In fact they looked like they are in a hurry after seeing me look at them. Did I perhaps cast a scary look in my face? Perhaps, but they needed to be done as soon as they should be. If they speed up due to that, then that is great.

It took a few minutes until they were done with the processing and dismantling of the items. As expected of the people who specialize in dealing with hunter monsters, even if they have only seen the monster and done a dismantling process on this monster for the first time, they still did it faster than if we are the one who do it.

"Sir, we are done with what you have asked."

I headed to the table to look at the monster parts cleanly separated from each materials. Every single meat, bones and skin has been separated from each other, clean and precise, not a sight of badly done dismantling process that I am impressed.

"Looks good. I think you guys have really done what you can really do for your daughter eh?"

"Sir, are you sure this is the only task you want us to do to free our daughter?" Mimiko asked. It seems she is in doubt as to why we have let them done something that they can do splendidly and easily.

"Are you guys thinking that I would let you two do something so difficult that you two would have no choice but to give up on doing it?"

The two nodded. At least they are honest.

"First of all, I am not here to harm others and we are not here to invade the people of your tribe. If I have done something like an impossible task for the two of you to do, that in the first place means I am totally angry with you and your tribe that I am not willing to forgive. Seeing that you two are sincere and wanted to do everything just for their daughter, a simple challenge like this is enough."

I snap my fingers and Riko brought over the sleeping girl. Riko unties the bindings of the girl's arms and legs and handed her to the two of them.

"Take her back and make sure she won't do something like what she did to others ever again. Maybe next time, she will meet someone more ruthless than me and the next thing you know, your daughter is already torn apart by the beasts in the forests."
