345.Welcome to Our Paradise (7)
“Why are you suddenly calling us…”
“Sarah, why did you call us?”
The people Sarah had gathered glanced at me, her face filled with anxiety. Maybe they misunderstand because I look a little scary.
I internally swallowed tears at the lookism that exists even in the fantasy world.
Still, girlfriend… Five…
“Everyone pay attention.”
“Da, who are you?”
“I am the one who came to save you.”
There is disbelief in people’s eyes at my answer. Do you not believe it?
I never thought I would be looked at like this even after building up such a reputation. Well, there was no way the people who had been trapped in this village for over three years would know about me, so it was inevitable.
Even if you were like me, if a man who wouldn’t mind beating someone to death came and offered to save you, you’d wonder if this was a new human trafficking method.
“Really?”

“Okay. I am the Marquis of the Empire. “I heard that there was trouble in this village and came to investigate.”
I quietly took out the card proving my status as a marquis from my pocket. Then people’s eyes began to change when they looked at me.
After all, your status is the best.
Even if you don’t say much, you’re very persuasive.
A high-ranking noble came directly to save us? Adding in the added emotion, your trust in me will increase… But it doesn’t seem like a very trusting atmosphere.
Well, who would immediately believe me if I told you that the Marquis had come to save me?
“Don’t you believe it? But believe it. “Isn’t that all you can do anyway?”
It is difficult to accurately estimate the time limit, but if we cannot escape when we gather this time, we can assume that there will be no chance for another escape. Everyone seemed to have realized the situation too late and looked at me with their mouths shut.
Then the oldest among them came forward and asked me.
“Marquis. “Can I ask you one thing?”
“Ask questions.”
“How are you going to get us out of here? As you know, there are a lot of guards right now…”
In response to his question, I pointed to the ground with my finger and said.
“Running into the tunnel.”
“A tunnel… You mean?”
Distrust is building in people’s eyes. It’s been a while since I received attention like this. Well, it would be easier to show it than to say it.
I took out the shovel hanging from my backpack and stuck it on the ground.
Since the terrain around the village has been explored, all we need to do is create a suitable cave. Then, shall we show you a miracle from now on?
“I’ll show you something fun. Production.”
A large tunnel was created in the floor of a house located in the very corner of this slum. The refugees were frightened by the tunnel that suddenly appeared and took turns looking at it.
“Go, suddenly a tunnel…”
“It’s magic.”
It wasn’t true, but it was troublesome to explain, so I answered in an easy-to-understand manner and pointed to the tunnel with a shovel.
“From now on, we will begin escaping through the tunnel. It will continue to clear the path, so all you have to do is follow it straight. “Lenny, please be on the lookout for anyone approaching this place.”
“It’s that easy.”
Well then, let’s get started quickly. It will take some time for this many people to move at once.
“Then we will leave right away. The destination is the city closest to this village. The city dispatched investigators to this village, but they disappeared one after another.”
“Those people probably…”
Someone among the refugees spoke up. He didn’t say anything and didn’t say anything, but I could guess what he was trying to say.
Is that so?
There’s nothing we can do about people who are already dead. The only option is to find the belongings later and deliver them to the bereaved family.
“Don’t worry about the dead people. Shouldn’t the living live? So follow me into the tunnel. “You have to move before the sun rises in the morning.”
According to Sarah, strangely enough, villagers wander around at night. I don’t know exactly what it is, but we need to quickly send it beyond the tunnel and escape before they notice.
As I walked into the tunnel, I launched a fist-sized fireball above my shoulder. A small but bright light that illuminates the entire tunnel. As the fireball containing the power of the phoenix illuminated the surroundings, people’s expressions were filled with peace.
“Everyone please follow quietly.”
We began our escape in the middle of the night.
——————–
“I really came outside!”
“We survived!”
“Hurray!”
“Everyone pay attention!”
The faces of the refugees who escaped the long tunnel in half a day were filled with joy.
Maybe it was because I saved up my break time and moved as fast as possible. I added one more piece of good news to the refugees, pointing to a village several kilometers ahead.
“Now I will go to that village and talk to you so that I can protect you.”
“Hurray!”
“Long live the Marquis of Quartz!”
“Follow me quietly.”
We walked busily towards our destination, which was not far away. It wasn’t very fast because the horses were busy and there were actually sick people, but it still didn’t take long to reach the village entrance.
“Who are you!” Identify yourself!”
“I am the Marquis of Quartz.”
I took out the card proving my identity and looked at the village guard in contemplation.
“Huh! Sorry! Please have mercy!”
“That’s enough, tell the village chief to take charge of the refugees for a while.
“What’s going on at this time…Who are these people?”
“You just have to tell the mayor that the people who were trapped by the cult have been rescued… And I have to leave immediately to investigate again, so tell him to take good care of them and protect them.
And contact the mayor of the city to which this village belongs to ask him to provide support for the refugees in the name of Marquis Quartz. “They probably know that I came here, so if I tell them, they will immediately understand and send their men to deal with it.”
“Yes, yep!”
“I can’t believe you rescued so many people… As expected, Lord Quartz! “You are amazing!”
The guard poked me with a look of respect. You can guess what they are thinking just by looking at their eyes.
A model of noblesse oblige who personally saves the captive people. I guess you might think of it that way. I immediately turned around and spoke to Sarah who was looking up at me.
“I will go back to the village and see. Rest here.”
“…I hope you are safe.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
I stroked her hair, which felt dull.
“I told you so, the mayor will not treat you poorly.”
“Thank you, Marquis!”
“Thank you!”
I went back into the tunnel while listening to the refugees’ thanks. Filling up the tunnels one by one. It was only natural that they could escape here. Me and Leni, we just need to get out of town.
I ran through the tunnel at a faster pace than when I went there. The sun was already high in the sky, so they would have noticed, and Lenny might already be fighting.
So, you should run even if it means pushing yourself a little.
As I ran with all my might and reached the village again, a quieter sound than I expected greeted me.
What is it?
Stick your head out of the tunnel and look around. Then Leni, who was cleaning her sword in the corner, looked at me and said.
“Are you done?”
“Finished. Did something happen while I was leading the refugees?”
“No. Nothing much happened. But it felt like there was a lot of popularity in this area. And it smelled like dog fur wet from the rain, which was really bothering me. I didn’t approach it because it was emitting energy. “Wouldn’t there be an uproar if I went out?”
It smells like dog fur… I guess that was it.
For some reason, I heard the god’s name is Rugaru.
“Then let’s start the investigation again.”
“They will be very wary of us, but will there be an investigation?”
“Don’t think it’s difficult. If you interfere, some people will be punished as an example. “They will become wise when their head separates from their body.”
Because there is no being free from the fear of death.
“…I’m hungry before that, so let’s have a quick meal before leaving.”
“Okay. But there’s only so much left that’s good for you, right? “If you eat all of this, it’s over.”
Lenny said, handing me a bundle of beef jerky and a bottle of water.
“It doesn’t matter if this much remains. “If we finish the preparations quickly, we plan to bury the entire village.”
Judging by the precedents so far, the villagers are no longer human. So there is no such thing as guilt.
It’s strange that people feel guilty about eating human meat in the first place.
“Wow, it’s scary just thinking about it. “I’m glad you’re not my enemy.”
“I’m thinking the same thing.”
“Even a joke.”
“Does this sound like a joke?”
You are the one I should never turn into an enemy.
“…Whatever, let’s eat quickly.”
“Okay.”
I tore the beef jerky into small pieces, put it in my mouth, and chewed it. The unique salty taste and slightly hard texture of beef jerky fills your mouth.
“Aren’t you eating?”
“I ate until I was sick of it all night.”
If that’s the case. After quickly eating all the beef jerky, I got up and warmed up.
It was meaningless as I was always in full condition, having received three blessings, but this act itself had the effect of relieving tension, so it was not completely meaningless.
“Then I will start working in earnest.”
“From the temple?”
“Okay. As for the person blocking our path… We just need to let him know what happens if he blocks our path.”
I held the shovel in my hand and stretched it out.
My beloved mithril shovel caught the sunlight that came through the crack in the wall, scattering brilliant colors.
It will soon be soaked in blood and lose its beautiful shine.
“Then let’s leave.”
