sloppy, and grabbed Salamandra's tail, and I carried her to the village.

By then, the extinguishing activities had already been completed and there were no burning buildings.

The villagers looked uniformly tired.

"Ah, brother! Where have you been?"

I pointed to Salamandra, who I left at the entrance.

"I've been hunting him. He's the one who burned the village."

"Wow! Big deal! I got this one on my own!?

"Yabe, if you come out like this, you're gonna get a little..."

"I, too, would definitely have escaped first..."

All three of them began to see Salamandra uncommonly.

"Are you the leader?

A middle-aged man called me out and nodded.

"Yes. I say Loran. to this village on quest. … Anyway, I'm glad it seems to have quenched the fire"

"Oh, on the quest...... I am the head of this village. Thank you very much for your help."

"No. I defeated the demon that I attacked the village. Are you sure you want to confirm? It's me."

The three pointed to Salamandra, who was still looking.

"Oh, oh, yes, yes...! That big lizard and the red wolf attacked the village."

"Don't worry. Was that the demon you wanted me to exorcise?

The still young village chief nodded.

"Yes. About once a week? And there were many who were devoured..."

"Really...... sorry it's late"

The village chief shook his head many times.

"From what I hear, you knocked the red wolf down on the way here, too. You are the benefactors of the village."

The three people I was listening to gave me a look that didn't even seem like a good idea.

I know how you feel.

I don't feel bad about being thankful for eliminating annoying beings.

Thank you, the village chief shook my hand as he bowed his head.

While I was being guided through the village, I was asked how things were going so far.

"I was just wondering if the villagers would live in fear of those big lizards and the red wolves the whole time. I didn't mean zero damage."

Burned house. A building that burns all and is charcoal-like.

I still feel a little fever for them.

An empty house where you can't feel the signs of people.

They say there are many people who abandoned their villages and emigrated.

"Until the raids on those demons began, it was a small, ordinary village, everywhere."

"Sure, it's not that big"

"Yes.... I also know what it's like to migrate"

"Living frightened by the raid is unbearable if 'normal'"

"Yeah...... that too. The red wolf is... superior? Was it some sort of strong position demon?

"Is it Red Wolf? It depends on the species, because they are more intelligent, but some demons will listen."

Really? The village chief looked so dark again.

"A man-shaped demon resembling a pig...... is it an oak"

"Yes, that's it?

"Every time we raided, the Red Wolf brought us here. They vandalized the food, they offended the woman, they killed the man who fights… it was already terrible. It is natural to abandon the village and emigrate…"

…………

That gaze...

"... Ladies and gentlemen, they had a 'normal life', right?"

"Yeah. It's a prime, but we lived like everywhere else in the world."

Right......

Do you want the "normal life" I admire and want?

"Mr. Village Chief, it's all right now. Demons never come raiding, and you can go back to your original life. Those who have left may also come back to hear rumors"

"Right. Let me thank you again."

"No, I've had enough of your feelings.... That salamandra, the skin is stiff, but peeling it makes pretty good meat. If you like, what do you say?

The village chief laughed.

"That's good. Let's eat the salamandra that did the wrong thing."

From then on, the preparation of liquor and other treats began by giving the village a small banquet.

The main dish is the meat from all sorts of parts of Salamandra that I cut.

Thigh meat was the most popular and everyone from adults to children looked delicious.

Looks a little arry, but liver, heart, diaphragm and other viscera were popular with adults.

The villagers, who enjoyed a meal alone, came to us and thanked us with their mouths.

Somehow, this atmosphere resembles Miriam's house.

... right.

I feel... 'warm'.

It was a village inhabited by such people.

"Brother, you treat me like a hero."

"That's all this village was suffering from"

"I'm glad I followed the staff's instructions then. If that's the case, I..."

"Right...... I couldn't do anything either...... there are people who are so happy about this, right? Officials, I'll try harder."

Everyone hits the meat and swallows the liquor they pour.

It wasn't a very good quality drink.

But the liquor is delicious while watching those we helped rejoice.

I remember when I was traveling with the Almerias.

Even then, when I liberated a fallen town in the hands of the Demon King Army, he welcomed me this way.

"Thanks to all of you, I really, really appreciate it... I did"

The mayor, who came near us with a thousand feet, seemed quite upbeat.

Neil, you get tangled up in adventurers, you hold spears, you get tangled up with clerics.

Something bothered me, so I took my temporary seat off.

The same signs as that gaze are coming as close to the village.

Wearing the glasses I was wearing, the warmth I had just felt disappeared, and my chest smudged, and I chilled.

"You're here. Come out."

"Hey, you! Who, adventurer?

Is this who his gaze is?

The man who showed up had brown hair with all the way to his shoulders and a number of piercings on both ears.

The protective equipment I was wearing was superior.

I don't care who I am.

"Follow me, eh? Your fight, let me show you. It's not just a monster to play Red Wolf with my Salamandra, is it?

Kaka, an adventurer who laughs without malice.

"I thought it was someone's demon, but you..."

"That. Me. Oh, you didn't name it."

"I'm not going to ask"

I'm not even willing to have a conversation.

But I wanted to make sure.

"Follow me, eh? I'm an A-rank adventurer, but I'm looking for a strong companion."

"So what?"

"Neither Salamandra nor Red Wolf are weak, and I don't need them anymore. You should use a strong demon again. … so as for me looking for a strong companion, I thought about a one-stone operation."

"- Enough, okay, don't talk any more"

The man, with a strange face, continued with pleasure.

Like a kid who came up with a new game.

No pieces of malice, he told me about the play.

"If we attack the village, who will be the adventurer? Knights and noblemen don't come to villages like this. So, let them fight my demons. If you're weaker than the demon, you don't have to be one of them, and the weaker one is Kyomi."

"... you know what happened to the village in that raid"

"Cilane. Nothing. - You're here. So it's the work of the rest of the Demon King's Army. Come on. 'Cause, you see, I'm an A-rank adventurer, and I've been saving those guys from being on a stay-at-home quest. A little better, huh?

……

"Ah, it would rather lead to my empowerment, so it's useful. Chinna Village, Great"

"What you took was the 'Today' they stacked all day long. That 'normal' is not something someone can take away from you"

"If you're weak, you die. That's all. Peace bogged down early after the war. Give me a break."

"I will not forgive anyone who takes away someone's 'normal'"

The 'normal' I know is peaceful, honorable and warm.

I'm gonna know exactly how hard it is to get that.

"I won't forgive you -? Fine, so what are you gonna do with me?

"Kill"

"Ka. That's right. I'm not gonna get killed for free, okay? I didn't have a demon. I can fight alone."

"Dead people talk a lot"

"Ha-? -!?

or a man who threw up blood all the way, took two or three steps, peeled off his white eyes and fell on his back.

I watched the man blowing bubbles while he cramped.

"Combat Assessment, D"

He wasn't following my attack with his eyes.

On the contrary, I didn't know that even being attacked wouldn't make a difference.

Is this the strength of A-rank adventurers and doers?

"It's a punishment for taking someone else's 'normal' and trampling it."

Eventually the man ran out.
