Magical Comic Travel

"It doesn't feel like a grand welcome."

The subjugation team entered the village square through the entrance——and the villagers who showed their faces from the surrounding cottages in that forbidding atmosphere.However, their expressions are definitely not cheerful.This is of course, what appeared on their faces was uneasiness and confusion.After all, armed groups suddenly appeared in the village, and they cannot be blamed for this.

"Ram, what did you say to the villagers?"

"Just advise them not to go out and go into the forest casually, that's all. No specific things are mentioned."

"Really, I understand."

"Hey, isn't that... Subaru-sama?"

"Really. Subaru-sama, are you back..." The villagers whispered, and they began to notice Subaru riding on the ground dragon.

Subaru caught the attention of the villagers, but he thought it would be better, so he climbed off Patrasho.Considering the current situation, it would be most reasonable for Subaru to explain it.

"It's all right, Ang."

"Ah, no problem. — Mr. Wilhelm, Julius, Ricardo."

After answering Mu Hantian's question, Subaru called out the three main players from the crusade.

They are chosen to increase persuasiveness when explaining to villagers.Leading the three people who looked reliable, Subaru walked into the center of the plaza with his head held high.

"Subaru, it seems that they are still very disturbed. Please don't forget to consider their feelings."

Subaru nodded to Julius who was whispering in his ear, took a deep breath, and clapped his hands.Seeing the familiar Subaru's movements, the villagers' eyes widened in confusion.Through their reactions, after confirming that his actions had attracted enough attention, Subaru opened his mouth to relieve their uneasiness.

"Okay, everyone pay attention! Concentrate! Everyone, long time no see. Although it's been a few days, are you all still alive?"

"Although I came back very suddenly this time, I have something to ask you all today." The farewell greeting was almost finished, and Subaru cut to the point.

Seeing Subaru explaining loudly, the villagers who were quietly watching from a distance met each other's eyes.

All of them were people who knew Subaru, and everyone who Subaru knew.On the basis of understanding their unease and "confusion", Subaru spoke as gently as possible, but quickly and non-stop.

"Actually, there are some demonic beasts in the nearby forest. Although I have brought professionals to exorcise demonic beasts... But, I hope that everyone can leave the village during our work. Of course, we have prepared the means of transportation here. Alright. Although it might be a little uncomfortable to sit up."

Hiding the truth with lies, Subaru considered words that would not irritate the villagers, and proceeded with the conversation.

Behind them was a crusade team that seemed to have experienced many battles, as well as the dragon carts of many merchants as a means of transportation.Although it felt a bit tough, Subaru thought he could hide the fact that the Witch Cult had come to attack him.However--

"Excuse me, why do you tell such a lie?"

"Eh?"

Subaru's eyes widened when he "cut in" halfway.He looked over and found that the voice was a young man with a crew cut.He was a member of the youth group in the village, and had had several conversations with Subaru.

"Bring a large number of outsiders back to fight against monsters? Why do you want to do such a thing?"

"Well, look, because monsters are dangerous. There was a "turmoil" of monsters before, right? This time, I plan to deal with it before it becomes that kind of situation, so..."

"Please don't hide the truth here!"

Subaru tried to soften the murderous atmosphere, but the young man turned a deaf ear to Subaru's words.With a look of distress on his plain face, he stared at Subaru, his clenched fist trembling.That expression was full of suppressed anger and disappointment, as well as uncontrollable fear.

"Sir Subaru, maybe you didn't want to upset us, that's why you said it so lightly... But even if you do this, we villagers still can't stop being afraid! I wonder if it's something the Witch Cult did, and I've been afraid all the time. Go!"

"Hmm..." the young man shouted angrily, making Subaru speechless for a moment.

The voice of the young people spread throughout the village, needless to say, the villagers were also shaken in the business.Although no one in the crusade team wavered, they also showed stern expressions in the face of this dangerous topic trend.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"As expected, there is no negative." The young man whispered feebly, as if he got an answer from Subaru's silence.

Seeing Subaru's reaction, the villagers suddenly became commotion, and the uneasiness smoldering in their hearts suddenly rushed out.

"Sure enough, as the people in the mansion said yesterday, it was taught by the witch...why did you come to such a remote mountain village...!"

"It's obvious, isn't the reason obvious! Isn't it all the lord who did such a thing!"

"Why do you support half-elves... support half-demons..."

Hearing their unease, Subaru deeply felt that if he remedied it casually, it would only have the opposite effect.

"Wait a minute! Sorry! It's my fault and I apologize! But..."

Subaru admitted that his persuasive words had failed, and started apologizing.Also noticed.

Among those villagers, some were lamenting, some were angry, and some showed expressions of hatred.

These negative thoughts of theirs do not point to the Witch Cult that makes them terribly helpless.Yes, their negative emotions were not directed at the Witch Cult, but at that half-elf whom they had never met before.

"Why did it become like this! This has nothing to do with the half-elf or Emilia!"

"It's impossible to be okay! If you get involved with a half-demon, the Witch Cult will appear. All the little devils in the village know about this! However, the lord hides the half-demon, and even recommends her to become the king of this country, isn't it?" huh! Please don't make fun of me!"

Subaru was so shocked by the lamentable roar of the young man that he was speechless.

Seeing his reaction, the young man also turned his gaze away and lowered his head.However, he did not correct his statement.

Subaru looked around, and he could more or less vaguely see the same emotion in the eyes of the other villagers.

"Everyone, do you think so too? It's all the fault of the half-elves in the mansion."

No one answered.This silence seems to be the most powerful answer.They are villagers who are close to themselves.Having experienced various things together in the past two short months, Subaru felt that he and them were good enough friends.That's why he desperately wanted to save them.And I also believe that this feeling will be accepted by them without half a doubt.
