Chapter 31: Post-processing

“I have finished exterminating the monsters and capturing the intruders. I’m glad to see you’re okay, Master.”

“Oh, thank you, Galatea.”

After we had defeated most of the monsters and enemies that had invaded the village, I patted Galatea’s head as we finished scouting for hidden enemies. Then she smiled happily. But I can feel a great deal of murderous intent from Vigna behind me! I’m going to be forced to stroke her head again later…..

Regaining my composure, I headed towards my mansion where everyone was gathering. What I felt was indescribable when I saw the houses the wyvern and enemies had turned into a pile of debris with their attack.

“So ….there are four dead ……?”

“Yes, there were three guards and one person who failed to escape….. If I had been stronger, I would have….”

It was Neil who reported with a look of regret on his face when I entered the hall where everyone was gathered. He said he was injured even after being helped by Vigna, but he seems to have rescued the inhabitants after that.

You’ve become really respectable. ……

“What are you talking about? It’s only because you guys worked so hard that we were able to do so much damage to the enemies. Neil…., you guys protected Asgard. You should be more proud. The other side was even the king’s own personal guard.”

“Grace-sama…….”

When I smiled and said that, he nods In tears. That’s right… my companions died in the first actual battle… it’s painful. Even though the potato is almost all-purpose, it cannot revive the dead.

And the population of this village is small. We all know each other. Everyone can see that the deaths have sunk the village. But….. we have won. So we who are still alive have to look forward. I think strongly to myself.

“Come on, guys, we can grieve another time. We’re going to have a victory party now! We’re going to make as much noise as we want today! Noel, bring the booze and food. You saw the pigs we raised for the feast and the expensive wine Edward brought. You can serve that too.”

The people looked at me, a little puzzled by my words. It’s hard, I know. But even if you’re sad, dead people don’t come back to life. That’s why we who have won should be happy that we are still alive. The dead will not be happy if we stay down forever.

“Vigna, please send the bounty to the families of those who died this time….. and tell Sara to take care of the bereaved families.”

“Okay. But what are you going to do?”

“There’s more work to be done. They did this to my territory. I’ve got to hunt them down before they get away….. I’m off to a business meeting. You guys can make noise all day and just in case, I’ll leave you to guard the village. Galatea, you come with me.”

“Yeah, I understand…. Have a good day. Don’t get too excited.”

I said goodbye to Vigna and headed back to the carriage with Galatea, taking some souvenirs with me. I’ve defeated Kyle. But we have not yet talked to the Azul Chamber of Commerce. I’m not going to let this be a win-win situation. We have to thank Raymond for his help.

“Master, we can put this in the loading platform.”

“Mmmm…”

As I’m preparing the carriage, Galatea calls out to me. In her hand is Silva, whose mouth is sealed with a gag. She roughly threw him onto the back of the cart and climbed onto the platform with me. I heard an “mmmmm” from behind me, but I guess he saw something, because he let out a very loud cry and seemed to have fainted.

And so we headed for the Azul chamber of commerce
