Chapter 141 - Episode Sixteen - Magic Beasts Damage (9)

“We’re alive… hahaha, against all those magic beasts, and we’re still alive!”

“Thank goodness, I can finally get back to Asshim without reserve in the world……”

The people of the private army were glad to see each other safe.

There were no casualties in this battle.

I heard that most of the magic beast had escaped, but we were still able to hunt quite a few of them.

The thinning of the magic beasts would be a great success, I guess.

I was able to greatly reduce the number of these magic beast, and I was also able to hunt the cause of the abnormalities in their biology.

I’m satisfied that I was able to find a big prize for myself.

“The wounded should line up in a row. We’ll take care of them one by one in a simple manner.”

I sat down on a nearby stone and called out to the people in the private army.

The people who had slumped down surrounded by the carcasses of magic beasts get up.

The big man put down the axe he was holding in his hand and ran to me, carrying the woman who had fallen instead.

The others follow suit.

The big man sits down in front of me and carefully places the woman he was holding in his arms.

She was a woman with long blonde hair, gently wavy.

If you look at where she had fallen, you’ll see that her sword had fallen. She seemed to be a swordsman.

She had apparently been ripped in the stomach by a magic beast with her claws.

Fortunately, the wound did not reach her internal organs.

She looks like she’s in pain, but she’s conscious.

“Is it okay to ask for help?”

I nod at the big man’s words.

Mea hands me the Hyottle and I pour the water inside over the wound.

I cast a spell and a magic circle appears to have the water wash away the fungus and soil.

“Uh-uh……”

The woman moans in surprise at the feel of the water touching the wound.

I then hardened the platelets to stop the bleeding and increase the healing ability of the abdomen.

I added life force directly to it, and as an added bonus, I also poured some pain relief magic on it.

“H-, huh…… I can move already? It doesn’t hurt at all……”

When the woman raised her body, the people in the private army who were watching the situation cheered, “Oh!”.

“However, it’s best not to move it too much. We prioritized not putting too much pressure on your body rather than your recovery ability.”

“Ah, yes, thank you!”

She gets up with his hands on the ground and bows to me.

“You can even stop the bleeding and pain with magic alone, without using any herbs or anything, huh! You, you can do anything with magic!”

The big man pats me on the back happily.

“Ju-, just the basics, though.”

“No, to be honest, I was a little skeptical too! That there is no way you could take down Nalgarn by yourself. But after seeing the magic you just did, I’m sure of it. It’s true that if Nalgarn is a little weak, if you can catch him by surprise, you could have killed him!”

“Hehehe…… no, it was just good timing, that’s all.”

I was smiling shyly and there were a couple of guys talking in hushed tones behind me.

“…… Dante was in the first unit, wasn’t he?”

“He didn’t see the head mound so he can say that.”

As soon as their eyes met mine, the two of them hurriedly smiled a frozen smile as they hurriedly moved away with a crunching motion.

…… I feel like I’m inviting an unnecessary misunderstanding.

After that, I continued to treat those who might have trouble moving.

After the line diminished, I looked up and saw Clark.

His hair and armor were smeared with the mucus and mud of a magic beast.

On top of that, he smelled so guttery that you’ll want to pinch your own nose, as if the Great King Vogue’s bad breath had been transferred to him.

His eyebrows are drooping powerlessly, and his eyes are pointed to the ground in a vicious manner.

Even a well-formed face feels weak-minded when you look at it this way.

Clark was entangled in the tongue of the Great King Vogue.

I helped him out, but in doing so, he slammed his body into the ground.

Maybe there was something uncomfortable in his bones.

He wouldn’t have wanted to ask me to treat him, given his position, but if he avoided me for that reason and didn’t have any use for me on the way home, that would be a laughingstock.

It was time to return the grudge that had been cast on me from his numerous sarcastic remarks.

Well, I’m an adult, so I’m not going to be so direct and mumbling.

I’ll treat him with a generous, relaxed attitude.

It’s up to the individual to decide how he or she accepts it.

“Oh, Clark-san, where are you injured? Or is it the body odor from Vague? I can control it to a certain extent, but I’m running out of material here, and I won’t be able to erase it completely until I get back to the village. Ah, you’ll have to stay that way for a while……”

“…… I’m wrong. I couldn’t help but believe it when I saw them on the move. No, maybe I didn’t want to believe it. I can’t believe there was a human who could easily defeat a magic beast that we couldn’t even handle.”

Clark said quietly and lowered his head.

…… Somehow, I feel like I’m such a small person now.

“Oh…… yes, don’t worry about it. Well, for now, it’s just deodorization.”

“Let me stay like this until we get back to the village, I need to cool my head a bit. My arm isn’t feeling well, but at this rate, we won’t be short-handed on the way back to fight the magic beasts.”

“No, but……”

“…… Even I have pride. Don’t make me feel any more embarrassed than I already am.”

“…………”

Clark walks on and away from me.

His back looked awfully small.

When I thought about it, the guy seemed normal and decent.

I gently lowered my wand, reflecting upon my smallness.

While the troops were resting, each unit leader was discussing the detailed situation and deciding on the return route.

“I’m worried about the whereabouts of the escaped magic beasts. There must have been some dangerous ones as well. I’m thinking that we should prioritize the search for that route over the one we didn’t take this time.”

“From what I hear, most of the escapees have gone deep into the mountains. It’s best to keep your hands to yourself. The soldiers are tired now, and it’s best to avoid the route that would take them the long way.”

Beside Euris and Caucus, the leader of the second squad, Maya, the leader of the third squad, is nodding yes and ministering to them.

All three of them seem to get along well with each other.

Somehow, I can imagine that they must be like that on a regular basis.

“Hmmm, I think that’s enough for the mountain. There are a lot of people who say this is their last day…… so I don’t want to put them in as much danger as possible……”

“Certainly, considering their emotions, this couldn’t be worse…… The magic beasts wouldn’t even come down to our side, looking at the way they were scared……”

Maya and Euris were discussing the people of the Private Army.

It seems that many of them want to leave the Private Amry and return to their hometown in the near future.

I’ve heard that the majority of the members of the Private Army are former drifters and adventurers.

For a long time, they were bound to the frontier because of Nalgarn.

It was only natural that they would want to return home.

The last big job is done, and we were able to confirm a safe route through this patrol, I guess.

…… Since I’m one of the few people on Lark’s side, I feel like I’d like them to stay on a little longer if they can.

Of course, I can understand the desire to leave, but Lark had guaranteed the livelihood of the drifter, even if he was antagonized by the original lords that were there.

Now would be the crucial time to regain the territory, and I would like to see them lend a little more help.

Now that the Adventurer’s Support Center isn’t functioning either, there will be more inconvenience in the future if they leave in one fell swoop.

In the meantime, I think it would be better to disband the private army with a few members and revive the Adventurer’s Support Center.

The blockade is gone, and people from the outside should be able to come.

If the people from the Private Army advertise to other cities, some adventurers would come to visit the Fage territory.

The shortage of personnel would be alleviated a bit.

But whether or not there will be adventurers who will come all the way to the countryside to visit the Fage territory instead of other fiefdoms is……

It would be nice if there was some kind of selling point that would attract adventurers.

I don’t have any ideas, but we need sorcerer’s manpower to make it practical.

And it’s not just the return of combat personnel that I’m afraid of.

With the current situation, it’s quite possible that the original residents will leave the Fage territory in anger without thinking twice.

Now that we’ve settled the problem of the monster commotion, it’s hard to know what’s going to happen if we don’t get that side of things straightened out as well.

In order to do that, we need to reform the Fage territory in order to eliminate the dissatisfaction of the residents.

Specifically, the solution to the drought and the problem of magic weed, and the dismantling of the alchemy division, which is an uncontrollable and selfish organization.
