"I just want to make sure that we can't help but respond when the same thing happens in the future. Could you let the woods know how you intend to respond"

"Huh...?

Lew, the new village chief, who doesn't know the circumstances of the forest, was baffled.

I have no choice but to tell you how dangerous the forest was from my mouth.

"I've never heard of that!

Lew was angry, but the soldiers who heard my explanation looked convinced.

"Well, that's why Mr. Chris used to take us to the woods."

"I, Mr. Chris, explained the same thing to me, but I didn't know it was going to happen, so I was listening lightly."

I didn't believe it either until I saw the demon that broke out in the woods.

Or my father didn't know exactly what would happen if he left the demon alone either.

"The only strength you have in this village, soldiers, is yesterday's battle with Forest Wolf in front of the gate, but do you have the strength to go into the woods regularly and just exorcise demons?

The soldiers were shaking their heads beside each other in the words of the knight.

Soldiers in this village carry around in eleven because their father and soldier chief have fallen out. He was chronically understaffed.

Moreover, each person is less proficient and at a level where it takes several people to finally exorcise Forest Wolf. Clearly, it's stronger to bring in an E-rank adventurer.

"To be honest, I don't think I can work like Mr. Chris..."

One of the soldiers answers as he leans down.

That's all my father was strong. It's so strange why you were a soldier in this village. Let's hear it later.

"You killed such a person short circuit..."

That's my father, who was just stateful, but there's nothing I can do if he punches me in the head from behind with a poke of surprise.

With about my status, I would have been able to smash the soldier chief's fist the other way around, even if he hit me.

"So, as the new village chief, what do you think of the problem around there?

"It's..."

In Lew, who has never thought about such a thing before, there is no way that an answer or anything like that would come up.

None of the adults who did not oppose Lew taking office as the new village chief disagreed just because they could foresee this happening.

"There are two options that you can prepare from here. The first is to ask adventurers to crusade regularly, like this one. In doing so, think of it as needing a reward, even if it's not as good as this one, and the second is crusading in the Alistair family, the lords of the surrounding area."

"That's it, please crusade at the Alistair house"

I also thought that a crusade by the Lord's might would not require a reward.

In fact, there is nothing like collecting rewards from a village for crusading demons that appear in the woods near the village.

But I have something I need to do that.

"In that case, you will need to pay more taxes in the future than ever before. Specifically, you'll just have to pay for it like any other village."

"What, have you ever been cheaper than other villages?

I wanted to hold my head wondering if you didn't even know that.

"This place was a very dangerous place where demons and monsters sometimes appeared in nearby woods, and no one could touch it. Permission to develop was granted on condition that it was managed, and taxes were kept to a minimum. You all had a bunch of gold coins as property because you had very little taxes."

A villager who didn't know that was happening was surprised.

A good number of villagers are surprised, and more importantly, they include adults, and the long-lived grandfather, born shortly after pioneering, why don't you know?

"Then again, I ask. Do you pay taxes to the Earl of Alistair? Or pay the adventurer?

If you ask me which one I get, they're both similar.

They send knights and soldiers with enough strength to ensure that they defeat demons born in the woods if they pay taxes. But taxes are a huge burden if you think about your life so far.

If you choose to crusade by asking an Adventurer, you can negotiate your rewards to some extent because the Adventurer or Alliance is the other person. But the strength of the adventurer is pinky, and if you ask for a definitive crusade, the reward will still be high.

Lew is haunting my head.

It is normal for celebrities to decide in consultation on things that cannot be decided by themselves by the village chief, but unfortunately the celebrities have also been caught and their successors have not yet been decided. Nor do any villagers take the initiative to help Lew, who has just become village chief.

I had no choice. I was supposed to negotiate with my hand and bring it into this situation, but thanks to the knight, I went well, so you just decided to give me a help boat?

"Um... I don't think it's possible to give an answer right away, so I'd like to be asked to crusade demons as an adventurer for six months. If you have other requests and I can't crusade, I can pay the other adventurers."

"Now what kind of demands are you going to make?"

Lew surprised me as much as he wanted. I've turned my gaze.

Well, I guess so. Though I had a proper contract, they temporarily demanded 1,000 gold coins, so I can't help wondering what my demands are.

"I'm not going to demand anything out of the law. Just give me one of the things in the village."

"Just one, huh?

"Oh."

Walk towards a place of purpose.

Touch it with your left hand while holding the toolbox (item box) to your right.

"This is what I want"

"The house you lived in."

Yes, what I want is a house full of memories of our family.

When I left the village, I couldn't afford to take things from inside the house, and I wanted to get out of the village quickly, so I left them in the village.

But now we can afford it and things are different.

I spoke to the villagers within yesterday and found out, but now they're renting it out as a place to sleep for pedestrians and other visitors to the village.

"Can I have this house?

"Do as you please. It's cheap if you can take on a monster crusade for six months to that extent."

"Thanks"

I'm sure Lew thinks I live in this house.

But I didn't say a word about that. He says' I want a home 'properly.

The house I was touching with my left hand disappears in a flash. No, it didn't disappear, it was stored inside a toolbox held on the right side.

In the place where the house was, only the small, tucked ground was left, and that was the only telling of the fact that there was a building on the spot.

The villagers watching the sight were circling their eyes.

"Well, that's what I got paid to do first, and I'll do the right thing."

I can reach Dayton Village by myself in a few minutes. It won't take long enough if you just take down a few demons from there.

You don't have to stay in the village to get rid of the demons.

"Wait a minute! What have you done with the house!?

"Oh, it's in here"

I've already shown you a lot of things.

There would be a lot of excuses for a toolbox or so.

"Aren't you going to live in this house?

"No way, it's a house with all sorts of memorable goods, so I just had to collect every house because it was a pain in the ass to bring it from inside"

"Damn......"

He was also hitting the ground saying he had been tricked.

I didn't mean to fool you.

"We'll have a demon exorcism and a day trip in a week, and if we go home today, we'll be in Alistair City by sundown."

The demonic exorcism was over soon, but Gotagota spent more time afterwards.

"Brother. I'm sorry, but I'll catch up soon, so will you take my mother and Chris home first? I'll explain everything when I get home."

"I don't mind that, but what are you going to do"

"I forgot something, I'll collect it and then I'll go home."

"Okay. Meet me soon."

What we do in Dayton Village is done.

Later, retrieve the morningstars and demons left on the battlefield. Selling that just makes a lot of money. I do not intend to leave extraordinary income or anything in the village.

More than that, we need to retrieve Dad's body. When I get home and settle down, I'll bury you in a decent place.
