When we go out into the garden, I decided to tell them again about the future plan of action.
“I’ll tell the Deputy Commander of the Holy Knights about the varmint damage, but first of all, we’ll get rid of the wild boars as much as we can. Maybe there are other varmints as well, so we’ll get rid of them at this time too.”
“““Okay!”””
We only have two days to do a lot of varmint control.
“I saw footprints in the field on the way to the village chief’s house, but most of them came from the forest at the entrance to the village, so we will search in the forest today.”
“““““Yes!”””””
“Also, it’s in the forest, so fire is strictly forbidden.”
“““““Understood!”””””
Only me and Sera can use fire magic, but it’s better to be careful just in case.
Now that we are armed, we’re ready to go into the forest.
“Oh, I smelled the beast!”
“I found the wild boars!”
Shiro and Fran used their impressive noses to quickly find a herd of spotted wild boars. They are about the size of a large dog, but it’s a herd of more than 20 animals.
“Buh-buh-buh”
The boar seems to recognize us as enemies when we entered its territory, they started breathing heavily to threaten us.
““Toh!””
“Buhii!”
However, Shiro, Fran and Ao charged one step ahead of them.
It’s amazing how all three of them were able to knock the boar unconscious with one blow.
“Buhii!”
“Oops, I won’t let you.”
“Sei!”
A boar charges at me, but I caught it firmly with my magic barrier.
Not missing the opportunity, Maya flashes her sword at the wild boar.
“Aim well and cast your magic. The spotted wild boar can move and dodge.”
“Mm, it’s not easy though.”
Sue instructs Horn as they cast magic at the boar. The boar moves quite quickly, so Horn’s magical skills will likely still be a challenge to hit them.
“Whew~. More than twenty of them all of a sudden.”
“There are really a lot of spotted wild boars.”
The first battle with the wild boar hoard lasted about 30 minutes.
While Ao is draining the blood of the wild boars we killed, Sue and I were overwhelmed by the sheer number of the wild boars.
“Shun-oniichan, I’ve found a group of wild boars again!”
“There are more of them than before!”
“Really?”
““It’s true!””
After the boar had been drained of blood and placed in the item box, Shiro and Fran found our next prey.
Thus, by dusk we had killed more than 70 wild boars.
Thud!
“Oh, I can’t believe you can kill so many wild boars in half a day.”
“That’s really amazing.”
“““Eheheh”””
When I laid out today’s results in the village chief’s garden, he was quite surprised.
His wife was patting the heads of Shiro, Fran and Horn, thanking them for their hard work.
“Village Chief, is it okay to hunt as many spotted wild boars as possible?”
“Yes, it’s okay. They’ll just multiply before you know it.”
“Understood. By the way, what are you going to do with these spotted boars? We have already drained their blood.”
“It would be great if you sold some to the village. The rest can go to the guild.”
“Got it. It’s getting late today, so I’ll give you what you need tomorrow.”
That’s the end of today’s wild boar extermination.
After this, it is time to prepare for the long-awaited camping.
