Isekai Taneuma

It seems that there are special medicines for the fever that elders and villagers have suffered. After receiving a request from Gargantuar, Feng and the others decided to go get it, and realized that it was time to leave.

It is Mary and Leonardo who are taking care of the sick right now. May I take those two on an expedition?

Before I left, I told the villagers to clean and disinfect the house, but it was still difficult for the Wesen to understand the concept of public health and so on, so I had a hard time explaining. Inside, he who says he's cheeky and angry with Feng is dealt with. However, if Mary said the same thing, she would still not be able to get her out of the village right now, because she would listen honestly and without defying anyone.

Scope It is a little worrisome that there are no magical users, especially Mary, who can now be said to be the key to the party, but it is better to have them stay for the village this time. Feng told Leonardo about it, and traveled with great care to the party of four.

The target tribe is Raven, who lives about three days from the village of Gargantuar. It is a roughly one-week journey back home, but until then it is quite remarkable whether the patient has physical strength. Especially the elders of the elderly can be said to be exhaustive. I wanted to hurry as much as possible.

Fortunately, however, the anxiety was quickly resolved.

On the first day of departure, the location of the target village coincided with the direction of the neighboring village that had been disturbed just at the time of the bear extermination, so I decided to stop by to greet at the same time as replenishment. In terms of distance, I didn't have to stop by in a few hours, but this worked.

It was the third time I was used to it, and when I arrived, the head of the neighboring village welcomed me with pleasure. What have you done today, come to defeat Oannes again? I was asked, so when I explained the situation, the village chief told me that he had a stockpile of medicine so I would divide it a little.

It is only a short distance away, and the neighbouring village and the village of Gargantuar are not entirely unrelated.

The chief of the neighboring village knows the elders well and has been taken care of in the past, so he has trouble sleeping when he dies. He promised to take it to the Adventurers Guild later.

Instead, I was asked to bring back the medicine from the neighboring village, but I certainly agreed because it was a wish and a fulfillment. I said no to the grief of caring. However, since other patients, such as manicures, were still dangerous, Feng and the others left the neighboring village in a hurry.

On the first day, he made his distance and spent the night camping in the square of the woods that he happened to find. Up to this point, I was able to go straight because I had been here once, but from here on, I had to use the river as a landmark.

The biggest problem with walking in the woods is that they don't know which way they're going. Although the orientation can be seen if there is a directional magnetic needle, the animal's feet have different muscle strengths on the left and right, so even if they are going straight ahead, the orientation will shift sometime.

Even if you correct the shift with a directional magnetic needle, you can't recover what you've already gone wrong, so after all, you'll have to find a landmark and walk on it. However, the forest has poor visibility. For example, if you mark a distant mountain, you can't help but be cut off by a tree.

When that happens, I want to mark the river as a landmark without being obstructed in sight... but when it comes to the river, it's not necessarily that I don't hit the Oannes colony, which is making me suffer so much as I hate it right now. If Mary is here, I would like to move as far away from the river as possible, because I can't deal with it if the four of us are found like that.

That's why the group decided to rely on the map and take a route through the river and through the forest as much as possible. In that case, even if the direction is slightly shifted, the modification will be effective when it reaches the river, and it will be less likely to encounter the Fisherman tribe.

But needless to say, it took longer than I expected to travel because this method would lead to a road without roads. As a result, the second and third days did not proceed with the planned itinerary, and Feng and the others gradually had fewer mouths due to their fatigue and impatience.

On the third day, the party, which was supposed to have arrived at its destination, stopped its feet in the dark before it arrived. There was another constraint on the forest route. That means you really can't see anything at night, so you won't be able to move.

On that day, a camp was set up by a landmark river. I've been on an expedition to the south, and by this time Lucy was getting used to the night shift, helping Guillaume and the two of us set up a tent.

In the meantime, Jeanne was taking care of the horse she rode in, and Feng was going to add dinner, and he was going to put a sewing needle in the river, shabu-shabu and water all the way to his ankle.

"... uhh... I'll..."

And at that time. Feng's ear was about to throw a needle into the shadow of the rock, and the sound of a human voice jumped in on the wind. Feng raised his face happily and listened to the wind as if it was a sense of urgency or a desire for help.

I can only hear the sound of the wind blowing and the sound of the river spiralling. Could it have been because of your mind... when he made that decision and tried to hook you up again, Gah Gah! I could hear crows in the distance.

Mixed with that voice, I still felt like I could hear someone shouting at me. Feng was not sure, but the second time he could not stand or stand on the boulder, and decided to return and consult with Guillaume.

When Feng called him, he rested his tented hand, and came to Kawara to scratch his ears, and to put his ears on the ground, and began to explore something. Eventually he climbed up to a nearby tree, held his hand and looked farther away, and descended from the tree.

"Maybe about a kilometer upstream from here. There's something in there. Based on the experience so far, there is no doubt that it is a colony of oanness."

"So, what did I hear?

When Feng asked, Guillaume smiled like a bitter bug.

"Looking at the situation, it is possible that a stranger has been captured. But I didn't confirm that. We're not ready to crush the colony right now. There's nothing you can do when you go, and in the worst case, it could cause a secondary disaster. We'd better get out of here before they find us."

"I see....."

Guillaume's suggestion is correct. We cannot crush Oannes' colony with our current strength. And in the event of a secondary disaster, it would be non-combatant Feng and Lucy. To avoid that, we'd better not put our necks in danger and get out of here.

But it doesn't taste good to abandon someone who might be caught. Do you think so? Jeanne and Lucy are looking at Feng with anxious eyes. He thought a little bit about it.

"... Jeanne. For example, if someone was caught, could one person help?

"Are you crazy!?

Guillaume reacts to the question, not Jeanne.

"You know that, right? From dozens to hundreds of demons lurk in the colonies of Oannes. It's insane of you to go in there like that.

"Oh, but when Mary still couldn't use her magic, Captain Cut would always have been Jeanne. If you can make a hole in the opponent with a single shot, I wonder if you can help me somehow."

"Even if we could, why would we do that?

Guillaume is devoured. But Feng shook his head.

"No... if someone is caught with the fishmonger, he could be tortured. That's how they find out where the village is because of their wisdom. If we miss this, in the worst case scenario, some village will be destroyed... of course, I know it's not our job..."

"Uhhhh...."

"Let's see how it goes, and if it doesn't work, let's give it up. In that case, we will rush to the target village for help."

Guillaume seemed to be looking for an objection as he roared, but eventually he looked up to heaven with his hand on his forehead.

"Wow! But I'll take care of the colony. I can also decide whether or not to penetrate. Is that all right?

As Feng nodded, he put out the fire in the camp he had prepared, and began to prepare to dive and approach.

In the darkness of the forest, he leaned on the moonlight that plunged into the river. Fortunately, the destination was on the wind, so if you were careful with the sound, you wouldn't have to worry about finding it. As he bent his posture and advanced about 500 meters, it became clear that there was a mixture of abnormal noises other than natural sounds. You can hear the gayagaya of the mermaids on the wind.

Approximately 200 meters ahead of the colony, Guillaume took control of the rest and went to see for himself. I waited nervously and came back in about ten minutes.

"... bingo. I saw a man enclosed in a riverbank tree. I couldn't confirm life or death, but if it hadn't been meat, it would still be alive. Besides, it looks like the mermaids are already in Nem's time. Now's your chance to raid."

Gossip of Guillaume appeared. Feng and the others checked their manoeuvres and distanced themselves from each other so that they wouldn't notice.

Although the operation... there were only four of them, so the role was almost certain. As usual, Captain Cutter Jeanne breaks in and strikes, attracting as many enemies as possible. Guillaume uses backup fire to reduce the number of enemies caught by Jeanne. The mermaids will be surprised by the attack from behind. While standing still, Feng sneaks up to rescue the captive.

It goes without saying that the gist of the operation is Jeanne. The operation will not succeed unless he attracts his enemies and leads them away from their captives. In that case, Feng entering the enemy is in danger of being caught and killed in the worst way.

However, Feng was scarcely anxious. Needless to say, Jeanne will not fail.

"Purple light flashing!

Dong!!... the ground was shaking and the fishmongers who were attacked in their sleep blew away. Groundwater blows out of the crack and pours down the river like a scour. When the fishmongers who ate bubbles in the sudden raid tried to escape with straw, but realized that there was only one person standing there, they leaned over to Jeanne with anger and evil feelings.

However, he has been parrying enemy attacks as a tank job for many years, and while clumsily attacking multiple bodies without moving at all, he retreats in the opposite direction to the prisoner with a body that is being twitched and chased.

That's enough for most fishmongers to catch and empty their colonies. I can only say that. But Jeanne can't handle this much either. Guillaume and Feng, who were lurking in the woods in anticipation of the timing, supported him with gunfire.

Pan, pan, pan! The gunshots roared, and one by one the mermaids fell down. Guillaume's shooting is as accurate as ever and will never come off as long as he can see the emergency. The speed and accuracy were clearly seen as shooting side-by-side. Feng wrapped his tongue when he was reminded that he hated the difference in strength.

Feng aimed at the middle of the mermaid's body, even if he couldn't aim for a single shot like him, at least he could stop it with his feet. Still, I have to take it off many times, and gradually I'm starting to feel a rush....

"Good luck! Good luck!"

... it was so clumsy, Lucy started cheering hard behind her. What are you doing in such an urgent situation? The tension was relieved, but I wondered if it would be a bit picturesque... when Feng wondered whether to put in a comic book.

"... oh!?

Suddenly he was confused by the feeling of lightness. Still, I kept shooting without stopping my arm, but it seems that the hit rate is somehow higher than before....

"Hmm, did it go well...? Yale is magic."

Lucy asks afraid. Apparently she used modern magic. It's probably the magic of the stat up system that makes your body feel lighter. Of course I knew that I was teaching magic to Leonardo, but as long as I could count on him to remember practical magic.

Oh, good.

A buffed and boosted guillaume is no longer a pistol, but rather a machine gun. At first, he was against getting his feet together, and he wouldn't think of that anymore. Feng wanted to keep shooting at him like that.

"Hey, Feng! Enough of this, get out of here!

I remember being told. This operation is not about annihilation. With the help of Jeanne and Guillaume, the attention of both fishermen was completely separated from the prisoners. Now's your chance to rescue him.

Feng lowered his posture and hid away from the enemy. Thanks to the buff you just put on, the footsteps were light. As he ran through the woods with the speed of the lightning and stone fire, he quickly jumped out of the closest place to the prisoner and into the river.

"Okay, help me!

When Feng found him jumping out, the prisoner called for help. Feng put his index finger in his mouth to control his voice and rushed straight towards him.

The man enclosed in the tree is wrapped around with vines or something. Feng took out the knife and cut it like a saw, freeing the prisoner.

I wonder if the moment the captivity was released, the prisoner fell on the spot without being able to stand up alone. If left as it is, it will collide with the ground. Feng rushed over.....

"Are you okay... eh!?

He picked up the prisoner... and looked at his face and rounded his eyes. Because there was someone who couldn't be there.

It doesn't mean you know each other. I can only say that he shouldn't be here because he was human. Not a beast, not a human... not a werewolf, not a cat, not a rabbit, not a lizard. Of course, he was not a priest, he was a normal person.

How could a human be here...?

"Feng-kun! Hurry!!

Feng was confused with his prisoner, and he saw Lucy inviting him from the jungle. Having regained himself, he rushed into the woods to lend his shoulders to the prisoners, saying that his doubts had been deferred.

Have you noticed that the prisoner has escaped? The roar of gaia and the footsteps that kick butt and dirt come behind you. Feng and Lucy continued to run desperately, holding each other captive. Maybe Lucy's magic is working.

But the sun goes down and the forest is dark. I was anxious to know which way to run in the darkness, which I couldn't see an inch away.

"Feng, this way."

Lucy, who was on the other side beside the prisoner, pulled Feng's arm.

"Can you see!?

"It's okay! I can see it!

She says so, but I don't know if it's true because Feng doesn't see anything. That said, there was nothing he could do, and he was no longer in the mood to close his eyes and straddle, and she kept following him.

Lucy seemed really good at night. After a while, the party that joined Guillaume and Jeanne in the woods and entrusted Jeanne with the role of prisoner came straight back to the camp, led by her.

Originally, the ill-eyed Oannes chasers were completely gone by the time they came back, but they didn't feel like camping again on the spot, so they took the luggage they had packed and pulled their horses into the woods.

Along the way, the horse, who was reluctant to go through this darkness many times, somehow advanced for about an hour. I hadn't heard the creek for a long time, I could only hear the owls. When they found the fallen square, they decided to make it a campsite for tonight and finally unloaded their heavy luggage.

Dig a pit, collect dead leaves, and light a fire. I couldn't get ready, so I broke down the fallen tree and turned it into firewood, and somehow set it on fire when it was a little wet.

The surroundings were illuminated to reveal the status of the rescued prisoners. He appeared to have been tortured with all over his body wounds, his face swollen with bruises, all his fingernails peeled off, and the raw skin of guzzles peeled off. The wound, which seemed painful just by looking at it, was dirty and black.

Were you walking for an hour in this condition? Feng rushed to wash the wound with the water bottle, energizing him to scream with intense pain, applying the wound medicine in his hand and covering it with gauze. I think my face is fractured and several teeth are missing, but this one has no hands. Feng gave the grass that he originally had for MP restoration, saying it also had an anaesthetic effect, so he let him chew it.

He was a prisoner of war at first, but gradually regained his strength from the feeling that he had been saved while undergoing treatment, and by the time the treatment was over, he had recovered to the point where he could answer firmly.

Feng was relieved to have been rescued before it was too late, and asked why there was a human in the depths of the forest.

Could they be the same adventurers as themselves, or could they have deviated from the caravan? I was expecting such an answer... but the answer I returned was something I never imagined at all.

"Thank you for your help. No, it's not. I live in this neighborhood, and I was born and raised in the woods."

Feng didn't think that people lived in such a big forest.

"Huh!? Maybe there was also a human settlement called the Great Forest?

I asked. Then the man shook his head.

"No, I don't live in a human colony... you might be surprised, but I look like a human, but I'm not. I am half-blooded, born between a human father and a beast mother."

And I said,

Mixed blood... did such a thing exist? Feng was surprised.

If you think about it, it's true that humans and beasts are two-legged humans. With tools and words, beasts are no doubt closer to humans than apes. However, due to the fact that it looks quite different, I didn't think that there was breeding potential between the species.

Then why haven't you ever seen a mixed blood before?

"Mixed blood is rarely born. And when you're born, you're born and hated by both species... it's not normal for humans and beasts to have sex. That's what I call a hagremon... Raven, but I'm from a settlement there. They attacked me when I fell in love with fishing in the river trying to catch fish... it was really dangerous."

"Raven...."

Feng named it and remembered hearing it somewhere recently.

"Maybe Raven is a tribe with medicine to treat fever?

Yes, it is.

"What the hell! Actually, we wanted a fever medicine and we were on our way there. I'm sorry to be so ungrateful, but could you ask the people of the village to divide the medicine?

And the man made his eyes shine.

"Oh, my God, was that so? Yes, yes, of course, ask your leader yourself. But you were adventurers, weren't you? I thought you were the newcomer who came here to be one of us...."

And the man uttered a truly careless and perhaps malicious and outrageous word.

"I mean, that young lady over there... she's half-blooded, right?

"... eh?

"I couldn't think of any other reason why a half-wife should be here. I was really surprised to find a fellow adventurer."

The feng lost their words.

Who is he calling a half-woman... now there is only one woman here.

Feng saw Lucy surrounding the same fire with confusion. Likewise, Jeanne and Guillaume, who had a difficult face, stared at her.

"Has Tahahahaha... been found out?"

Lucy was in the sight of the three of her buddies, and initially she was stunned, then she lost her expression like she had given up somewhere, and finally she was always showing a sales smile at the tavern... and she affirmed the fact as if she were someone else.
