episode 302 new party (2)
from the next day, he immediately got a carriage and left the village.
just because he was at the party, there was nothing more to prepare or do.
everything was already prepared, as if he had prepared himself for the party.
the man who introduced himself as ted said as he drove the wagon.
“it’s a great-sized backpack.”
“i took a lot of this and that. i don’t know how long i’ll be homeless. it is basic for the therapist to be in charge of items in preparation for survival.”
“come to think of it, this is the first time a therapist has come to a party. ha ha ha. it’s not a very dangerous quest, so don’t be anxious.”
there is no tension, let alone anxiety.
he asked, swinging back and forth with his leg sticking out of the carriage.
“so what exactly are we doing?”
“it seems that monsters are appearing in the nearby town. there are sometimes guys who try to expand my territory. we just need to drive them out of the vicinity of the village. how is it that it’s not as big as i thought?”
it’s really no big deal.
as much as the tension that was there disappears.
ray nodded lightly.
“it’s a simple request. but why do you need a therapist for such a referral? why are you interested in me in the first place?”
“i need someone to check if there’s even a plague from the monsters that have crossed over to the village. and we are very interested in such therapists. when looking at the party as a whole, the healer is beneficial enough. sometimes, they are stronger than priests or priests.”
“...that’s why i only took pictures of famous ones among the healers. that was me who just showed up.”
“ha ha ha. in a way, it is.”
ray also agreed with that.
to be honest, they wouldn’t have cared about any therapist.
if you think about the reason for preparing the tools for one person in advance.
it’s just that he, who has become famous with the title of a white-clad healer, appeared just in time.
ted glanced to the side.
“are you disappointed?”
“no, i was relieved.”
it is far better to act in pursuit of profit than to act out of romance.
perhaps it was an unexpected answer, ted put on a strange expression.
“this is such a strange friend.”
despite being a healer, ray, who even brought an iron pot and an anvil hammer, was definitely a strange guy.
they rode in a wagon and moved until evening.
sonya, who had been resting well inside, came out of the carriage with a stretch.
if the bed was uncomfortable, he stretched his shoulders and waist.
“ugh. you will need to learn how to ride a little bit.”
it’s not something you just want to do while sleeping.
ted glanced at her.
“if you demonstrate, i’m willing to learn.”
“i will decline.”
while the two were talking, ray started a fire by himself.
he has become acquainted with fire by living in a forge.
when i made up my mind to start a fire, i didn’t even move my hand a few times, but the firewood was quickly ignited.
soon after, a bonfire with a good atmosphere was completed.
tadak— tak—
the basics of camping are making a fire.
kate, who had been preparing for magic while wearing a robe, opened her mouth small for a camping technique that was close to divine.
“...that’s amazing.”
rey, who was praised, did not stop there and hung the iron pot on a stick.
the prepared ingredients were generously poured into a properly heated pot.
he learned the recipes of famous chefs in his lifetime.
although there is no spice, the level does not change too much.
it is meat that has been marinated for a whole day with high-quality raw herbs that capture various herbs and fragrances.
“then let’s go to this operation. we will arrive at the requested village by mid-morning tomorrow, so make sure you get plenty of rest.”
“okay. sleep first.”
“....”
ted’s eyes are drawn to kate and sonya as they disappear into a corner.
even throwing a slightly vague look at her made it seem like she was looking at a teenage girl in love at first glance.
‘oh look at this?’
ray, noticing something in his appearance, made a false statement.
a sinister smile hung on his lips.
“do you really need magic to set fire to the village? i thought it would be easier to throw a torch into it than to use magic that consumes mana.”
isn’t it quite a bit of selfishness that sonya was put on the side of protecting the village?
ted was taken aback.
he waved his hand and denied it.
“if kate, the magician, protects the village, you won’t be able to escape in case of emergency.”
“it doesn’t mean you can’t use your body just because you’re a wizard, right? this isn’t about catching some kind of dragon, so what’s the point of not being able to run away from an orc? besides, there will be villagers, so i can easily deal with one or two orcs.”
driven into a corner by his questioning, ted lowered his head.
“that’s right... if that’s the case, then you’ll need to change your strategy...”
he’s a man who really enjoys teasing.
ray shook his head.
if you give a bottle, it is the doctor who has to give the medicine.
ray, who never forgot his duty as a doctor, gave him a carrot after whipping him.
“there is no need to change. if you can reliably set fire to the orc village from a distance, i think it’s right for kate to go to the village.”
ted, who found a way to live with just one word, speaks plainly.
“yes. i thought so too. that’s why he needed kate.”
people say that falling in love makes a fool, and that must have been about ted.
he, who had been sullen until just a moment ago, regained his energy in an instant.
i smiled at the innocent look.
* * *
as soon as the day dawned, the carriage moved.
after four more hours, a small village appears in the distance.
it is a village with a long history within the kingdom of silia, but few people live there.
it looks quite secluded.
upon entering the village, what you see are several houses that look like they need repair and the residents with nervous faces.
among them, a man with a body like a bear approached ray and his party.
“what have you come for? if you are visiting an inn, i would not recommend it.”
“i came after receiving a request from the guild. i heard that monsters haunt this place. are you the village chief?”
the man’s expression brightens a little when he hears that he has come to solve the request.
“yes, i am the village chief. it’s not like this, you should bring it inside. come on in.”
we entered the village following the guide of the village headman who welcomed us.
ray said after looking around for a moment.
“it’s different from the houses i saw earlier, isn’t it fine here?”
“...it’s the orcs. from one day, they started to come in, and eventually they even plundered.”
“plunder?”
“whoa... i’m ashamed of myself for living while being plundered by monsters.”
ray frowned at the village chief’s words.
okra is not without intelligence.
even mere goblins know what happens when they touch a human, so they don’t loot villages proudly.
however, if you listen to the story now, it seems that they are very proudly attacking the village in broad daylight.
since there are no natural ogres around, he is acting as a king.
it was really arrogant.
‘i’m less educated.’
he caught the monster’s presence from afar.
