Then, the days went on.
However, an incident occurred on the day when the cherry blossom viewing festival was about to end.
““Welcome~””
“Hohoho, the children have really taken a liking on acting as stall assistants huh.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
Seeing the children cheerfully talking to each other and energetically calling out customers, the former Margrave and his wife also smiled.
Perhaps due to the shouts of the children and the effect of the new menu from this year, the stall is sold out every day. I was also busy cooking, cooking, cooking every day.
“Okay it’s done. How do you feel?”
“Oh, I’m so much better, thank you.”
The medical team are also working smoothly, and Horn had begun treatment along with Sue. The little healer was very popular with the townspeople, and she is currently treating an old man’s back. She uses healing magic every day, so Horn’s magic skills were improving well.
“Thanks to you guys, the people of this town have been able to receive adequate treatment.”
“No, we’re also residents of the town, so this is only natural.”
“That’s right. Madam, it’s only natural to help the weak.”
“It’s very helpful to hear you say that.”
The wife of the former Margrave came to the medical team and thanks everyone for their efforts.
The warrior-oneechan and the gorilla beastman-oniisan both said that it was only natural, but since the church is in such a dysfunctional and ridiculous state, the presence of a healer must be quite a blessing for the Margrave’s Family.
And at this moment, an unexpected event happened. Some idiots showed up at the tent of the medical team.
“Hoh~, so it’s you guys huh. The ones who publicized that they are treating people here.”
“Because of you, the church’s business is disrupted!”
“I’m going to have you quiet up a bit. Don’t worry, you just can’t move for a couple of days. Hahaha!”
Just as the people receiving treatment were cut off, a group of five obviously suspicious people suddenly approached the medical team’s tent with a grin. All of them have large physique and have a very suspicious appearance.
From their words and actions, there is no doubt that they are pawns of the church.
“U-uuh-, I’m scared.”
“Horn-chan, hide behind Oneechan.”
“Un.”
Sue immediately hid Horn who was frightened by the thugs behind her back.
The warrior-oneechan and the gorilla beastman-oniisan also stepped forward to shield the former Margrave and his wife.
However, the wife of the former Margrave patted the warrior-oneechan and the gorilla beastman-oniisan to calm them down. Then she stepped forward.
“Aren’t you ashamed of doing such things? That’s why the people of town come to this clinic instead of going to the church.”
The wife of the former Margrave was resolute in warning the thugs. However, it seemed that the thugs had become even more aggressive after being warned by the wife of the former Margrave.
One of the thugs took a dagger from his pocket and slashed at the wife of the former Margrave.
“Shut up, old hag!”
“Sigh, you’re not going to accept it after all. Then I’ll make sure you learn a little lesson.”
The wife of the former Margrave sighed at the thug’s attitude, and with minimal movement, she dodged the dagger that the thug had swung down. Then, as she passed by, she tripped his leg, causing him to fall to the ground.
“Guhu, what are you—Guhaa!”
“I’ll have you stay quiet for a bit.”
The wife of the former Margrave stomped on the back of the thug lying on the ground, silencing him.
The remaining thugs were stunned by the wife of the former Margrave’s quick action.
“As expected from the wife of the former Margrave. She is as strong as ever.”
“So this is the strength of the wife who supports the former Margrave huh. It’s as the rumor says indeed.”
“Ooh, Grandma is so strong!”
“Fran will beat the bad guys too!”
The ones acting calmly were the warrior-oneechan and the gorilla beastman-oniisan who had transformed into Super Gorilla-oniisan mode using holy magic.
And before I knew it, Shiro and Fran had also joined the battle.
“N-not good. This is really bad.”
“Oi, let’s escape….…”
“Do you really think that you can escape?”
“““Eeeek!”””
Seeing the warrior-oneechan and the gorilla-oniisan cracking their knuckles, the thugs realized they had picked a fight with the wrong person.
However, the adventurers in charge of security heard the commotion in the medical team area and they already arrived. Seeing the fleeing thugs, the adventurers in charge of security also glared at them while cracking their knuckles.
Now the thugs were completely surrounded and could not escape.
“Everyone, I would like to ask them about various things, so please keep it to the point where they can still talk.”
““Yes.””
“Prepare yourself! Uryaaa!”
“““Ugyaa!”””
And just as Shiro and Fran responded cheerfully to the words of the wife of the former Margrave, the adventurers attacked the thugs in unison. In the blink of an eye, the thugs were captured by the adventurers.
“So that’s what happened.”
“No, wait. Attacking Madam is a big deal, right?”
While eating, the former Margrave narrated what had happened while I am cooking.
I’m right after all. There were a lot of noise in the medical team’s place, and I guessed that something had happened.
“So, is Madam safe?”
“Fufu. That’s why I’m here. My wife is stronger than me you see. I’ll be thankful if she didn’t beat up those thugs to death.”
“Uhm, that’s no laughing matter, right?”
According to the former Margrave, his wife is small and slender, but apparently, she is a martial arts genius and her strength was quite well known within the Margravate.
“But…. the church is gathering thugs from outside the territory, right?”
“Mm, it’s very likely. I’ve strengthened patrols at the dividing point of the territory just to be sure.”
The former Margrave has already started taking measures. The rest depends on the outcome of the interrogation then.
By the way, the rescued children who were calling out to customers were able to watch the brave appearance of the wife of the former Margrave, so she quickly became a cool grandma and an object of admiration for the children.
