Chapter 4 (1/2): Destroying the Peace and Lack of Cash
When I got back home, mother was watching TV in the living room.
“Oh, you bought it? Thank you.”
“Everyone has money”
It was hard to meet the eyes of my grinning mother, so I quickly pushed her the pudding and returned to my room.
What am I shy about? Is it not good for a human to do some decent thing. I cursed myself.
“What am I doing?”
He slapped his face with the palms of his hands and sat in front of his PC.
The villagers were doing fine. I read the magazines and technical books that I bought.
”Actually, I want to perform a miracle immediately, but I can’t waste cash and points. I need to watch the villagers’ lives a little more and find out what they really need.”
Thus, I can spend some time studying while they are working. So that I can help them a little.
It seems that I was quite enthusiastic and now the sun was about to set.
The villagers are preparing dinner.
I read the conversation log that I missed, and while browsing villagers’ past conversation, I discovered something.
“It was a short conversation between Lodis and Gamz, but I hope Gamz becomes more sociable.”
I don’t hate it, as a man who is the embodiment of unsociable, but it seems a little pitiful because Lodis is a talkative guy.
“What did Laila, Chem, and Carol talked about?”
There was a little hesitation to listening women’s conversations, but this is also to fulfill the villagers’ wishes. ……I convinced myself with that and checked the log.
It was just everyday conversations, but sometimes you can get important information about this world from some small remarks. I could understand the situation of the villagers to some extent.
“I wonder why the flock of monsters attacked the village. That day, it was unusual. The villagers quickly … ”
That day? That was the keyword I was interested in, but the only way to ask them is to use the oracle. Should I use the oracle for such a small question?
“It was not a small village. The stone walls surrounding the village were excellent and should have been more st.u.r.dy than other villages. In addition, there were some hunters like my brother, but still…. ”
“Uncle and Aunt, how are you?”
“The forest is really dangerous and the wheels of their carriage is at its limit. “
I checked the conversation logs of the these three people and collected some more information.
It seems that there were hundreds of villagers in their village and it was a medium sized village for this world.
A group of monsters attacked it and they tried to resist, but they were deceived and other villagers escaped for their lives.
It seems that there were some people who ran away in their carriage, but they noticed the fact quite late.
They had to enter the forest to escape the monsters, but they have no future plans and the carriage is at its limit. So it is getting difficult to move over large distances.
I see, so that was the setting. Someday I will perform a miracle and reunite the villagers who escaped the disasters, but currently I don’t have the ability.
“I have cooked rice.”
Since my mother called me, I put down the book which I was reading and headed downstairs.
Father has unusually came home early today.
His hairstyle is tight, and he is wearing black gla.s.ses on his serious face.
He is someone who is friendly and speak very few words. His character is a little bit like Gamz.
Since I became a NEET, I only meet him few times a month. I only say “How are you?” This type of relation has continued after a fight.
“What happened to Sayuki?”
“That girl seems to be late because of overtime.”
“Really?”
Sayuki … Isn’t my sister a little too late today?
My older sister is doing better in her life compared to me. I once said casually that if I am a.s.signed to the type of field in which I am interested in, then overtime won’t be a problem.
I don’t know the details of her work, but it’s some kind of office work.
My father and I are eating silently, but my mother’s one-way conversation never stops.
Basically, my mother was speaking the whole time.
I have an awareness that I have a blessed environment. The house is large and there was a large garden here when the plot of land was purchased. Now it looks like a vacant plot, but my father wants to rebuild the garden.
The future garden is currently only wooden shelf.
My mother continues to say that I should find a work, she is not giving up on it.
It seems like my father has left me after the fight.
My sister…..let’s leave it at that.
If my family was poor and I couldn’t afford to feed myself, then I would have been abandoned a long time ago. I get to eat everyday and there is also the bed and the environment is fulfilling and peaceful.
My mother stopped me when I tried to go back to my room after eating.
“If you are going back, bring a pudding which you bought for your dad to eat after the meal.”
“Okay.”
My father’s voice is still serious and I don’t know if he is angry or happy.
I brought the pudding and then quickly returned to the room.
It was a little late after dinner because I was waiting for my father, so the villagers seemed to be leaving Gamz in charge to keep watch of the surroundings.
Gamz’ body is illuminated by the light of the fire, he seems dignified and dependable.
This group is …….far from being a village.
The most capable in this group, except Gamz, is Chem. She can use healing magic to heal wounds and has little fighting experience.
Lodis is not a bad person, but it is a.s.serted that he is not suitable for a battle.
Unlike last night, the villagers know that the power of G.o.d is not all-purposed, so they decided to keep watch.
There seem to be many monsters whose are are active during midnight, Gamz is the first one to keep the watch.
The fact that everyone feels safe just from him standing there is greatly due to his appearance.
Black hair and dark eyes, the exact height is unknown, but if you compare it with everyone else’s height it seems slightly over 180 cm.
He has two weapons on him, a long sword and a dagger. In this world, there seems to be a hunter profession for those who hunt monsters, and Gamz and Chem were living as hunter siblings.
The information so far was obtained from the daily conversation between Chem and Lyra.
He is a silent guy but the seriousness of doing his job without complaining explains that he is the most reliable man in this village.
