“Well, we’re going.”
“See you later!”
“Both of you, be careful on the road.”
After seeing off Shiro and the other person who went to report to the guild, we immediately resumed our work. Sue, Ao, and the other healer treat the villagers, and the other members continue to repair the fence.
“I’m sorry, but my child has a cold, can you please look at him?”
“Oh, that’s a tough one. I’ll treat him right away.”
The village church, which is no longer in use, is turned into a temporary treatment center and the villagers are treated there at once. Almost all of the villagers have gathered together, perhaps because they do not usually receive medical treatment here.
That said, it’s a small village, so there are only about a hundred people. In less than three hours, almost everyone was treated.
“Thank you so much. It was very helpful that you guys treated everyone other than just the injured.”
“No, it’s just a small thing. By the way, there are not many people compared to the number of houses in this village.”
“During the winter, men who could work would go to work in the frontier towns, so it was also a time when there was a shortage of men in the village.”
After the villagers are treated, I continue to listen to the village chief’s story. Sue and others joined in the repair of the fence.
It is a really bad timing to be attacked by goblins when there weren’t enough men.
“Honestly, if you had come one more day late, we could have been wiped out.”
“I’m really glad that didn’t happen. We’ll be in this village for the duration of the investigation, so if anything happens, we’ll take care of it right away.”
The guild probably didn’t expect the situation in the village to be this bad. The timing of our arrival in the village was really a last-minute one.
“I feel like your timing was really good.”
“I’m glad that when we arrived at the village, all the villagers weren’t wiped out.”
With the permission of the Village Chief, it was decided to build a rampart in the lower half of the wooden fence. If Ao and I use earth magic together, it can be done in no time, so I work on it at the same time they are repairing the fence.
The rampart is about waist high, but it is quite hard so even with the Goblin Lord-level magic, the rampart can withstand it.
“I’d really like to build a moat, but I can’t do it right now because of drainage and other issues.”
“That can’t be helped. Let’s have someone in charge of the moat do it.”
Even though it’s just temporary, the defensive ability should have improved compared to the first time we came to the village.
Villagers came to see the repaired fence and checked how usable it was. Fortunately, there are a lot of reserve wood, and the villagers who have completed the treatment can continue on repairing the fence.
“Oh~, it’s kind of powered-up!”
In the evening, Shiro and the other person who had gone to the guild to make a provisional report returned.
Somehow, they brought a big army with them.
