Since the village is gloomy, are the people living there also gloomy? Or conversely, because the inhabitants are gloomy, will the atmosphere of the village be gloomy and dull?

Anyway, the gloomy uncle prefaced with the village mayor's son and called himself Doug.

He wondered what would happen when the door was closed and screamed, but he came out as soon as he knocked in good faith with a mace. It seems that my thoughts were conveyed through the mace. After all, I think etiquette is important. It's probably because I'm looking at me in a more frightened manner. It's probably because of my mind that my face is pale.

"There is no reason"

Anna looks stunned.

Yes yes. Let's keep the hallucinations silent. For some reason, he didn't let me through the house, so I decided to try to negotiate with Mr. Douglas at the front door. Of course, the noisy mace is back on his waist belt. You don't have to give any more fear.

"What kind of business is it?"

The voice is trembling as if an earthquake had occurred only at Dougs' feet.

Muu. You don't have to be so scared.

Because it was nothing to talk about as it was, I took off the knitting hat I was wearing. Immediately surprised. Douglas's line of sight is slightly above my line of sight. Well, no wonder. It's a small village that has carved out a forest. My red hair like fresh snow would have looked very strange. However, Mr. Doug kills his emotions and acts calmly. Should it be the son of the village mayor?

"Originally my father ... Oh no, the village mayor responds. Unfortunately, I suffered from a backache and couldn't move for the time being."

Mr. Doug told me to squeeze out while glancing at my complexion.

"You are more afraid than the demons."

Anna laughed with a light tone, looking down at me who was confused with Mr. Douglas who had a slight waist. I thought it was for each person, at all.

"I'm Florence Godfrey. As you can see, I'm an adventurer, and this is-no, nothing."

Ah, it's dangerous. I was about to introduce a hallucination that only I could see and hear. The heart was exposed and noisy.

Can you see the inward upset? Doug looks suspicious.

No, it's nothing, so don't worry!

A glance at her side glance, Anna wiggles her shoulders.

Damn, annoying. I'll definitely erase it.

I took a big breath to calm my mind and repartitioned.

"I stopped by here on my way to the south. I have a few questions to ask ... Is there a place to stay in the future? A charcoal-burning hut or something like that."

I'm going to let you stay here implicitly. However, after looking diagonally upward, Mr. Doug thought about something.

"Ah, there is no such thing in the future."

It seems that I received my words exactly as it was. Then it can't be helped. Is there no choice but to ask straight?

"That's right. If possible, can you stay overnight? It's okay to stay in a barn if it's rainy and windy."

It would be a problem if you were seriously guided to the barn with this.

Mr. Doug had a pretty embarrassing face.

Ah ... this is ... maybe not.

"I'm sorry ... the people in this village are so sorry ... I don't like people from outside."

I felt it. Because no one appears from home.

"It's common not only in this village, but in small villages like ours ... sorry."

Saying that, Mr. Doug bowed his head. It is a wonderful refusal.

It's a pity, Anna hits my shoulder. However, I don't feel like being hit because it has no substance.

"Don't worry. It's a common story if you're traveling."

While saying that, I drop my shoulders in my heart. Because of the long life in the city, it is difficult to stay outdoors. You can sleep as much as you want in the dungeon, but it's still different indoors and outdoors.

Mr. Doug shrinks further.

"I apologize again. For a few minutes, our village remains calm at the last minute. We can't have any more disasters."

"It's a terrible way to treat a disaster."

"Excuse me, but disasters always come from outside the village."

Douglas's mouth with his head raised is a tired smile.

……HM.

"Sure, but unlike disasters, miracles come both inside and outside."

I showed the heater shield through my left arm. To be exact, the ash cross emblem on the white background drawn on the heater shield.

Doug does not change one facial expression.

"That's right. I'm sorry. Apparently my horizons were too narrow. After all, being in such a small village for a long time will affect me, especially when I'm suffering from that disaster."

Anna looks suspicious and looks at both me and Doug. It seems that he finally noticed the unnaturalness of the conversation.

"The cliff you can see over there--"

Mr. Doug pointed to the nearest cliff among the fingers of the giants lined up.

"A flock of goblins has recently settled at the foot of the mountain ... they attack livestock on a regular basis. We had spears, but if you're a Kobold, your opponent is a goblin, someone with a fighting background, etc. in this village. There is no end. There is no end to chasing or chasing away. "

It feels like a templated and troubled village. If you have money, you can hire a bouncer, but that is not possible in a village like this. Where did Doug's frightening and frightening initial attitude go? It was the face of the unmistakable village there.

"Can you get rid of it? There are no specialties in the small village for a few minutes, but if you don't mind, we will serve you a meal."

Of course, there is no reason to decline.

"Then the road continues from the other side of the village--"

"Well, from now on?"

It really asked me back. From now on, when it comes to going back and forth to that giant's finger, I think it will be midnight by the time I return.

"Goblins ... attack every morning."

……Every morning. Every morning. Every morning it's KITZ.

I can understand the feeling of wanting to stay in the house

"Oh, I see. But please persuade the villagers while you're getting rid of them. It's a little tough to see them through the windows anymore."

"Of course, of course! We are ready and we look forward to your return with all the villagers."

Welcome with all the members …… It's not a triumphant return of the brave, even if you don't do that much. Doug is strangely motivated with his gloomyness. As expected, I didn't have the courage to pour water there.

Well, it would be nice if the goblins were exterminated and the dull air in this village cleared up--

With that in mind, I took on the goblin extermination and left the village for a while. The clouds were choppy, and in the meantime, the sky of the same color as my eyes was visible and hidden.
