Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World

285 Formerly The Strongest, Conduct Village Surveys

The Somas who arrived at the village chief's house were to talk about why they came to the village first.

Most often, you can't or shouldn't.

It turns out, in fact, that it's the same thing that barely tells you anything.

"Hmm... I mean, I didn't come back to this village, I came here as a job."

"Oh, that's the thing. So, the..."

"Oh, I get it, I get it. Then I certainly can't resist the invitation of the villagers. Don't worry, I'll tell you what."

"... I'm sorry, it's nice to meet you"

The only thing I could talk about, like I came here as a job, is that it hasn't even gotten to it at least.

Still, it's not so surprising considering that it's Ingrid's hometown that he understood and accepted lightly.

And, at least that's what Soma thinks, but Ingrid still doesn't seem to be able to get through the confusion.

On the contrary, the emotion appears to be changing into suspicion.

He seems to be hiding it, but from Soma's eyes, who glanced at its face, he has not misled the color that dwelt in Ingrid's eyes.

Nevertheless, that would not be something to pursue here and now.

I decided to work hard to observe the situation on the spot.

"So you are his companions, and you are also the Holy Knights?"

"No, we are… yes, external collaborators, etc."

"I see. So, there is, so you don't have to worry too much. Well, I'd appreciate it if you could lend me just a bunk somewhere."

"Yes, of course. That's right... I was going to suggest that to Ingrid from the beginning, but how about they stay here?

To the words, Ingrid looked slightly surprised.

Apparently that was unexpected for Ingrid.

"Here, does that mean to the village chief's house?

"You'd better get some rest, too, wouldn't you? I left your room there."

"Ingrid's room......? Does that mean Ingrid lived here?

"Oh, oh... well, there's a few things going on."

"Hmm... is that so"

I can read from the way the bat looked badly off, that there must be something wrong with it.

Most of all, now... well.

"So, what do you say? Fortunately, despite the fact that there is only one person living here, there is no room left in vain. There are many visitors to this village. I can't say it doesn't make me feel inconvenient... but it's too much of a bummer..."

"As a senior, it's not a problem, but it's helpful enough..."

"Well, from what I've seen, this isn't the most splendid place I've ever seen."

"... right. Then I'll take care of you, village chief."

"Oh, I'll do that. So, what are you going to do today? It's too late, but are you going to do something?

"Well... as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to move on with my work..."

I've said that and turned my gaze to ask what you're going to do.

Nevertheless, the truth is that the Somas have yet to hear what they intend to do here.

Or Ingrid didn't seem to know what to do either.

But I guess what you said about wanting to move on is that you know what you're doing.

And I do think it's time for the sun to go down completely, but if you say there's still time before then.

There was no reason to disagree.

"Yes, we will, too."

"Bye. We don't have much time."

It wasn't until the day after tomorrow that Ingrid took the day off.

We have to leave here the morning after tomorrow or by noon at the latest, so we can't afford it.

"So that's the thing...... right. We'll be back by sundown at the latest."

"Right. Okay, let's just say we're still waiting to get ready for dinner. It's been a while since I've eaten with you."

From the village chief, who said so and laughed happily, he shifts his gaze to the extent that Ingrid is not unnatural.

And to mislead it, I stood up.

"... helpful. So, shall we go?"

Say no, Ingrid leaves the spot behind early, and the sommers shrug their shoulders small when they look at each other unexpectedly.

Then they followed, and so did Soma and the others.

Though Ingrid caught up with him immediately, Ingrid looked rather puzzled by the status quo.

Since the investigation asked me to sort my head out, I missed going alone and Soma and the others started the investigation with Soma and the others.

That said, I just heard that Ingrid also seemed to know that if I looked into this village, I would likely know something.

So when it comes to what Soma and the others did first, it's listening to the people of the village.

It's basic… also because I was concerned.

There are two main things I asked.

Anything unusual lately, and Ingrid.

What was Ingrid doing in this village and what was his relationship with the villagers?

That's what I heard.

I didn't have much time, so I heard a lot about it.

This village doesn't seem very big, but it would still be less than half the time we could have listened.

At the stage when the sun set, Soma and the others returned to the village chief's house, and Ingrid said they had not yet returned, so they were led to the room first, where they were confirming what they had just heard.

"Hmm... I could hear a lot of things..."

"The content is mostly about Ingrid... well, we can't help but say that nothing has changed."

I didn't feel any lies there, so I guess there's really nothing, or they're unaware of it, something like that.

But we just don't have enough time to find out more about it.

Therefore, even in the sense of being a stepping stone, I heard about Ingrid first... and I could hear something more beneficial than I thought.

And discussing that, Ingrid seems to be back, too.

To the room we were discussing, I showed up to show that.

"Sorry, it's a little late. Oh, and now that you've been waiting for my return, it'll be a little while before dinner."

"Really... well, I'd appreciate it if you could get dinner. I have no intention of complaining about it. In the first place, it didn't show a specific time or anything. So, anyway, did you figure something out?

"Well...... I wasn't sure yet, but at least I think this village is a little strange compared to my memory"

"Though there is no certainty, is there any basis for thinking so?

"Oh. As I already said on the road, I honestly never thought I'd be welcomed like this here. No, on the contrary, I thought you'd be distant, and I thought that was natural. At least because of my common sense."

It must have been a long time before I took it for granted that I would be estranged.

And that's probably the very thing Ingrid didn't want to say.

At that time, my mind wasn't ready... but was it ready?

If I looked at him like that, he understood what it meant, and Ingrid smiled bitterly.

"I hate to say it if I can... well, that's not how it works. Or you can't keep your mouth shut any longer than I might be involved"

"Hmmm... I can't, I don't know?

"No, you feel like I have to say it. You can't be running from the sins I've committed any more."

That being said, Ingrid has turned his straight ready eyes.

Still, that mouth kept opening and closing several times... but eventually once it was pulled together, it opened again.

And.

"- I killed my parents. With this hand, in front of the villagers' eyes... use that dagger."

Ingrid said the words.
