Noel groping around the village of Yorsha.

The villagers watched Noel far-fetched, silently farming.

They just look like they're walking. But it's a solid and meaningful behavior for Noel and me.

"No...... I can't feel a god at all"

See if there are any powers or substitutes that would wrap around God as we go around the village.

But the results were not fragrant.

"This village was safe...... so is that okay?

"Or there was no god involved from the beginning"

No anomalies were found.

So far, that's the only way to end it.

"Ladies"

My first grandfather came across me when I came to the village to talk to me.

"What do we do today?

"Today?"

"It's already past noon. You can go to the next village, but if you don't hurry now, the sun will go down."

What my grandfather is worried about is where we rest.

If we don't secure a place to rest, we'll be in the wild in the cold winter skies. We have a comfortable tent and a warm meal, so no problem.

But it's not sneaky to worry about your grandfather.

"Is there a house I can use somewhere?

"Do you want to use it at my place?

"Is that okay?

"No problem. My sons have set up a separate house, and since my grandmother died, I've lived alone in a small house. I'll be fine enough to stay with you two young people."

"... then let me sweeten your words"

I was able to secure a place to rest.

"... oh, was it today"

As we were talking, my grandfather noticed that a guest had come to the village.

The sound of a carriage running down the street. That was a long-awaited sound for the villagers.

"Wow, he's a merchant!

"Wow!

Kids excited about carriages.

Adults who were nearby are desperately stopping because it's dangerous to try to get close.

"Don't get too close because it's dangerous."

A merchant who stops a carriage in the heart of the village.

There are loads of things in the carriage that Joshua Village cannot get alone, such as seasonings and cloths.

"There you are."

It was the threaded human who came out of the carriage. A young man with long brown hair tied behind him and glasses. He's a weak hegemony to call a merchant, and he's more like a guy staring at paperwork in the back of a store than he is doing business with.

"Help me."

"Yes, sir."

He calls out to the man who was your man and lowers the goods that were loaded in the carriage one after the other.

He is a wolf beast man with a gusty, muscular body. The wolf's tail stood pinned to see if she was even nervous after carrying the product.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a lot of shortages. Recently, it's getting even colder, so I've got a lot of blankets for you."

"There is one!

A young man with a bear ear comes out of the back of the village.

In his hand was a crate with crops.

"Finished harvest."

"Thank you in the cold"

"This is where your business is helping me. Never mind."

Then the young men bring in some crates.

"What about them?

"Even if you harvest it, it doesn't sell right away. Oh, and the merchants are buying it out of the finished stuff."

When the handover of the crate is complete, we move to negotiating the price.

Merchants are a little cheaper.

The villagers are a little expensive.

In the end, it was to be picked up in an amount that took into account whether the merchants preferred it or the villagers.

"I used to have no trouble living if I paid my lord as a tax."

"Speaking of which, the lord...?

Negotiations are being conducted by youth.

Someone more accustomed to negotiating should handle it.

"They've been uninterested in anything but taking taxes for a long time, but now they're in a state of total indifference"

It's completely pulled away.

I fear I will be resented by the villagers for taking taxes.

Well, nothing you do. That causes resentment, but I don't care that much about the nobility of this country right now.

"That's the situation that keeps me from thinking about the merchants who do business with us."

Young women in the village are grabbing cloths and furs while negotiating the amount of crop purchases to ascertain the goods.

Apparently satisfied, she talks to the man because she thinks of her husband.

Some of them look like women talking to young people who have just finished negotiating.

Young people try to buy what their wives want even though they think their wives and women don't seem to get their heads up. My wife also knows about the household. As far as I can't help it, I try to buy only what I need.

And when a woman with fur noticed how this one was, she bowed her head.

It looked more like a greeting to us, not to the grandfather next door.

"A couple of sons."

There are other children besides their son who went to another village and was attacked by a 'ghost'.

"He's the most powerful of the young men, and he's been counted on by the villagers. I don't think he's going to be my son, but he's doing something like a village chief."

"Isn't that amazing?"

It seems purely amazing.

A young man who reports to the villagers that the negotiations went well and spreads a smile.

The villagers smile at that appearance, and the laughter spreads.

The village was smiling purely around him.

"And that merchant is a good man, too."

It sells products at a considerable price.

"Everything. He used to be looked after by a 'witch'."

Noel reacts to the word 'witch'.

But my grandfather didn't notice because he pinched me between them.

"Master 'Witch' doesn't want us to struggle. That's why the merchant will help us until he throws his personal belongings at us."

Merchant helped by Noel.

"Remember?

"Yeah, I've never seen it"

But Noel, the 'witch' himself, denies it.

Well, even when I say 'witch', the previous' witch 'may have just helped him or his associates before Noel. And maybe Noel himself was helped where he wasn't involved.

I can't refuse to say it's a lie because Noel doesn't remember.

"I'm gonna go for a second"

I run over worried about the merchant.

"Um..."

"What?

"How can you be so good to me?

"You're someone I've never seen before."

"Ah, yes. An adventurer."

Merchants who had visited the village of Joshua many times also grasped the face of the villagers.

"You know as much about the witch as you used to."

"Well, as widely known..."

"When I was still rushing out, I was resting in a village I stopped in for a business trip, and suddenly I was hit by heavy rain."

Nearby rivers flooded and water pushed up to the village.

The men who were in the village all worked together to build up earthbags and try to stop the water from weighing. However, the water momentum is not likely to be stopped by the help of a few adventurers who stopped by the village like a man or merchant living in the village.

I'm simply understaffed.

It was the Knights of the King's Capital who ran to me when everyone gave up.

"The 'witch' prophesied a flood of rivers by divine commission and sent knights to the village"

Memphis kingdom with Tishua as its center.

No matter how small a village in the region you usually scorn, there's no way you won't rush if Noel, the 'witch', tells you to 'save' me.

The "witch" clerk is the very word of Master Tishua.

The village was saved because of Noel's commissioning.

"It was dangerous to travel by carriage in heavy rain. Not a villager, I could only save my own life if I dumped the merchandise and the carriage. But I couldn't let that happen as a merchant."

So I helped protect him from the flood.

But shortly before the embankment broke down, I regretted my choice.

"I really appreciated the witch."

A pure look of respect.

"So I'm sorry to hear that."

Noel, who is supposed to have lost his life in the commotion.

The merchant genuinely believed that the 'witch' had died.

"At the very least, I want to save about a village in the region she saved. It doesn't matter where I move, but I wanted to give it back."

"Well, good luck with that."

Noel leaves beside the shithole and the merchant.

The merchant stared at the strange look on its face.

"What shall we do..."

"Do you remember?

I shake my neck sideways with a bright red face to my question.

"The river floods, what a monument I've brought down many times."

It was the merchant who was saved in one of them.

"Then you're glad."

Noel's days as a 'witch' were not in vain.

There are people who have been saved properly.

"Yeah."
