chapter 67
67 – Episode 67
A dwarf who led the way, talking about various things. Macun turned around.
“Benefactors. “Just a little more and you’ll get there.”
At his words, fellow dwarf Kukun turned around.
“It has been a long time since we have brought an outsider directly into the village, so we will receive a lot of caution. “We will explain as best as we can, so please don’t be too angry.”
I do not care.
In the first place, it is better than the position of A. No, I’m even more familiar with the cold stare since I spent three years in the position of a servant below him.
If there’s a problem.
As I carefully held Lageta’s hand, she looked down at me with an expression of not understanding.
“Diam… Are you really saying that I’m the one you’re most worried about? “Are you afraid I might get into an accident?”
That’s the correct answer~
As I laughed lightly, Lageta looked around with an expression of hurt pride.
Olivia has a kind nature.
Ellie never counterattacks unless she attacks first.
Elzeta has been avoiding responsibility and choice since joining our party.
“… it’s annoying.”
There were no signs of an incident happening at all.
Lageta was full of dissatisfaction and was grumbling with his protruding mouth, but he soon smiled sinisterly.
Shake the hand I held! He solved it, and in the blink of an eye, he raised his grade with the fingers of his hands.
“Then Diam will have to stick around and keep an eye on this mom to make sure she doesn’t get into an accident~?”
Getting my arm into her big chest is a bonus.
Lageta’s wide-area provocation.
“baby! “It’s my mom’s first time coming to this town, so I think I’ll get lost!”
“young master! “This is my first time in a dwarven village!”
“Hmm! It’s not very windy here. Diam. It’s easy for elves to get lost here!”
Oh, kinda.
There was a little commotion, but Macun, who thought he was ready, smiled and took the lead again.
As he said, after walking for a short distance, the narrow road suddenly opens up! It got wider.
“wow. “It’s very spacious.”
“I never thought there would be a cavity like this under the ground…”
“On the ceiling over there. Are they tree roots? “How do you hold on without collapsing?”
A large village appeared that surprised everyone except Lageta.
As everyone was looking at the widened walls and ceiling, a dwarf’s face was visible from the high castle wall, which was well over 10 meters high! and came out.
Makun holds up his hand hammer and shakes his arms back and forth, pooh! The castle gate slowly opened and several dwarves armed with shiny armor came out.
The dwarf in front quickly glanced at our family with sharp eyes.
“Macun. Kukun. Bringing in an outsider. “What are you thinking?”
“Harukun. Listen. “We went up to the ground to find herbs for Hikun, right?”
“But what is going on? “Demons attacked the human land or something!”
“in other words! The land we climbed to was the land of demons! There, right before Kukun was bitten by the Green Wolf and died!”
As Macun spoke while taking big action as if he was acting, Kukun grabbed Macun’s shoulder with a red face.
“older brother! “I decided not to say that!”
“Shut up! Otherwise, how are you going to explain the activities of those benefactors?!”
“You are selling your brother’s honor! “It’s too much!”
“What dude?!”
The two dwarves immediately grabbed each other by the collar and started fighting.
As my family was dumbfounded by the absurd scene, a security dwarf holding a huge halberd appeared.
Harukun woohahaha! I held my stomach and started laughing.
“Wow! so. The outsider over there saved Kukun’s life. Is this it?”
“That’s it!”
“Ugh… It’s embarrassing, but it’s true.”
As the two dwarves lowered their heads, Harukun slowly approached.
thud! And he slammed the halberd down on the floor.
“Thank you for saving my brother!”
After all, the brotherly race of dwarves.
I like it.
Harukun, a member of the castle wall guard, must have had a fairly high status.
As soon as he acknowledged us, all the dwarves around us also lowered their guard towards us.
“Did you find any herbs? “They say the land above the village is full of monsters.”
“That’s where the human elementalist appears. Perfect! “Do you have the herbs we need?”
“Oh… an elementalist…”
Harukun looked at me with interest and smiled darkly.
“It’s true. You look young, but you’re this strong. amazing.”
Thank you for a good look.
I still lack a lot.
I will work harder.
As I bowed my head and said to myself how to respond to compliments that I had learned while working in society, I seemed to like myself, haha! Harukun laughed out loud.
“Then can I check what I have? “I would like to open the door right away, but I can’t help it due to procedural reasons.”
Testimony of two dwarves.
my actions.
Harukun looked at me favorably, but first of all, I was the captain of the guard.
It seems difficult to just let outsiders go as they control entry and departure.
My family also didn’t object much.
There is nothing to hide, and there is nothing that should not be discovered.
Several high-ranking ranks created by Lageta.
Although there were magical tools worth using, there was no problem because Lageta packaged them with magical power.
The formal search ended simply like that.
“Then I will write you a letter of recommendation to meet the chief. “What is the name of our human elementalist?”
[It’s Diam!]
“Diam… it was good. Diam and 4 other women. “I, Harukun, have proven myself, so no one in the village will threaten you.”
After all, a race of brothers.
I became more likable.
“Cookun! Macoon! “What do you plan to do?”
“Of course, guidance until the end!”
Kukun, who was hurt, said it as if it was obvious, but Makun hit him on the back! and hit him.
“Stop talking nonsense and go to the doctor’s office first. “No matter how much treatment you have received, it is better to get tested.”
“Ha, but the benefactors.”
“I will take good care of these people. Don’t worry. “Now take care of yourself first.”
“… I understand, brother. See you later then. Benefactors!”
[Goodbye~]
As the sledgehammer Kukun walked down the street with a regretful expression, the remaining Macun stood in front of me, showing off his already rugged muscles.
“Then follow me. “I will guide you to the chieftain.”
As I walked along Macun, I took a look at the unfamiliar dwarven village.
‘It’s small.’
The cavity was so wide and spacious that it made you want to get skinny the moment you saw it, but the house where the dwarves lived was actually small.
When an ordinary human walks in, their head touches the ceiling?
and.
“As expected, they are a race of blacksmiths.”
“That’s right~ There are a lot of blacksmiths.”
The two people are so amazing! Kang! There were many houses that were noisy and radiated high heat.
Is there anything interesting?
‘There is no chimney for the smoke to escape.’
[High heat] is essential for blacksmith work.
Before polishing iron, you need to bake it hot and hit it to change its shape and become stronger.
To do that, we cut down a lot of firewood.
I also need to build a fire pit properly.
Dwarves’ houses did not have chimneys to vent the smoke produced during the process.
[mister! Diam wants to see the blacksmith shop!]
“hmm. That would be nice too. But may I greet the chief first and then introduce myself? “It’s been a long time since an outsider came.”
Right.
When I nodded, Makoon also smiled slightly and took the lead again.
As we walked along for a while, we were greeted by a rather large building, unlike any ordinary house.
Dwarf soldiers in armor guarding the front.
When the soldier was about to aim his spear at us, Makun showed him the mark he had received from Harukun a little while ago.
“My name is Makoon. At the chief’s order, he went out to collect herbs and returned. “There’s Harukun’s certificate here, so check it out.”
The guard glanced at his words for a moment and then lost any sign of caution.
and.
“welcome. “Outsiders.”
Ah… Dwarf! i love it!
When I went inside, I saw a dwarf with steamed meat sitting on a chair made of I don’t know what kind of mineral it was made of.
A dwarf with muscles that wriggle to the point of being scary… so much so that he can easily hit 3 to 1,000.
Macun introduced us to the story of standing proudly in front of such a dwarf.
He nodded while listening and got up from the chair.
‘Wow… what kind of exercise did they talk about like that?’
Beyond the beauty, I took a step back without realizing the disgusting muscles.
thud! thud! The chieftain came to me with heavy steps.
“me! Tomoni Kun expresses his gratitude! “Thank you for saving my brother!”
It was also a dwarf.
“Macun! “Then what happened to the Gadram fruit I asked for?”
“Of course I took good care of it, Chief!”
Macun smiled brightly and took out the Gadram fruit I gave him and showed it to him.
And when the chief saw the fruit, he smiled brightly and approached Makun.
“You idiot!! I told you to peel it off!!! “We don’t have the ability to dig up that fruit!!!”
bang! bang!
He began beating Macoon with such force that the ceiling of the house shook with each blow.
“Ugh!! “I’m sorry Jogjaaang!!”
After all, a dwarf… scolding… being scolded is also dwarf-like…
Chief Tomonikun, who showed merciless violence for about a minute, chuckled! Sigh! He snorted and sat down again, and Macun, covered in blood and bruises, stood proudly in front of him.
“Macun!!”
“yes! Chief!!”
“I command you once again!! “Don’t forget and remember well!!”
“yes! Chief!!”
“If you think you’ll forget something, write it down!!”
“yes! Chief!!”
“Don’t just talk, get ready to write it down, dude!!”
Tomonikun swung a hard fist and created an additional large bump on Makun’s head.
“evil!! “It hurts Chief!!”
“I hit you because it hurt!”
“yes! Chief!!”
‘… Were you a fool and not a brother?’
“shit! Macoon!!”
“yes! Chief!”
“Go up again!! You can spread Gadram fruit!! I say it twice because it’s important!! Can be laid!! Come find the wizard!! “Bring me the peeled Gadram fruit!!”
“I understand, Chief!!”
I wonder if I understood it correctly.
Makoon runs out of the room quickly.
Tomonikun looked at Makun’s back and let out a deep sigh.
“I’m sorry. “He looked embarrassed.”
“…”
I turned my head to look at Olivia or Ellie’s faces, hoping that they would react.
‘shit…’
Perhaps he was tired of the Dwarf Chief’s extreme ignorance(?), and he was smiling awkwardly from a place one step further away from me.
Of course, Lageta looked like he wasn’t interested.
Elzeta was completely deaf to the noisy voices of the dwarves.
in other words.
Anyway, the solution is Diam.
