Clasping tightly onto my sword I walked forward to begin the attack.
Looking at me who was advancing towards them, I didn't think they were even retreating slowly.
Are they not going to confront me?
" Wait! Please wait a minute "Someone shouted at me.
" ?? "
Emerging from behind the crowd of people I saw was a middle-aged man. Most of his hair had been bleached and his stature was typical of a farmer with brown skin.
" Wait, Sir! I'm begging you not to attack us! "
" Any, I can finally talk. Who're you?"
" My name is Fenrid, I'm the Village Chief here. "
" Yes Fenrid? I'm Glen. Like there's a misunderstanding here. We do not intend to attack your village. We're just surprised to be surrounded like this all of a sudden and intend to defend ourselves." My light.
I lied a little for the attacking part because I had intended to attack them and was about to scare them a little.
''Forgive us too Sir! Hey all of you.. Quickly dispose of your weapons!!''
'' Village Chief, it's too dangerous. Back away!'' One of the men shouted to the Village Chief
'' Quiet down! And quickly dispose of your weapons, before you are completely finished off!!'' Replying to the screams of the person earlier, the Village Chief also shouted.
I didn't understand what they were talking about, but as they responded to the village chief's shout, now they lowered their weapons.
''Sorry for the misunderstanding, sir. Can I assume that this Master is not a robber?" The village chief asked me politely.
Since they had dropped the weapon, I decided to lower my weapon as well and put it back in.
'' Of course we are not robbers. We just came out of the forest to the north. Actually we were on our way to the village with a waterwheel. Because we saw there was a village here so we decided to stop by. Oh yea. Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Glen Eldric Ruterdom. The big one behind it is Archilles. He is an Orc, but he is not an evil Orc so far, and is my subordinate. Furthermore, this white forest elf is Siena, she is the guardian of the forest or whatever. "
" Wait, Sir?! You said your name was Ruterdom? Is correct? "
" Ayeah right. Won why? "
" ah. It's okay, Mr- "
'' Hey!! Didn't I tell you, my name is Siena vor Duntinea. Can't you say my name in full?! I did work as a Ranger, so what do you mean by what?"
Siena suddenly cut off the Village Chief's remark which made her somewhat surprised.
" Hey Siena! We're talking here! Isn't it impolite to cut a speech like that?"
" You don't know manners!! How could you introduce me so incorrectly?!"
He even more fiercely snapped at me.
" Yadeh, I'm sorry. "
" Mighty bodo! " Turning his face away he seemed to be sulking. Huft.
"Huh. Please continue Village Chief! "
" So you're on your way to the Village where there's a Watermill? May I ask why?"
"We want to deliver something important. Why are you asking?"
"Maybe your goal is here? The village also has a waterwheel. "
" really? Then maybe we can make sure. The archilles! Show that thing to the Village Chief!"
"Good sir."
Archilles gave the letter he had begged to the village chief. Reading the letter given to him, the village chief put on a surprised and incredulous face.
" Was this really? This is his handwriting. So it is. "
" What's up?"
" This is the handwriting of one of the residents here, I happen to be a friend of him as well. Is it true that Tryen is gone? Ah, my max wrote this letter, is he gone? "
" right. He wrote the letter before he died of his illness and he told me to take him to the South's water-mill Village."
"
"Sorry sir to interrupt. But what has happened? Looks like the two Elves behind you are injured?"
" Actually-"
" Let me explain! You must be saying something horrible again!" Cut Siena.
" Huh, it's up to you."
" It's so much better. Sorry Mister. I will explain better about our current situation,... At that moment We were patrolling in the woods, suddenly without us noticing we were ambushed by Orc troops. Outnumbered by them, we ended up losing and many of our people were killed. But by chance we were saved by this shitty guy, so I guess you guys can trust him.''
" Isn't it the same as you?!"
" I forgot it! Hey, Mr Fenrid? Do you understand what Siena said? "
" Oh please. You don't have to add - Master to me."
" Then to me too, it feels a bit strange to be called "Master" by someone older like you."
" I'm sorry. It seems I can't do that. Especially for those of you who come from the Ruterdom family. "
" What does that mean?"
'' Didn't you just say that you are from the Ruterdom family? So you must be the son of Marquis Eldric from the western region. To me who is only a village chief is already supposed to call you politely."
" Is that so? Alright."
I don't know why I seem to know and don't know who the village chief meant. The name was remembered as vague. Is that really my family in this world?
'' Then, did you just say that your name is Duntine, Miss? Are you from the noble family of Elf Duntine?'' Ask the village chief back.
'' Righteous. My name is Siena Vor Duntinea. I am the son of Liliana Vor Duntinea and the fourth son of the Elf king Zehfi Vor Duntinea. "
Proudly Siena said that out loud then wrapped around me and continued,
" How, Glen? Can you now respect me more?''
''Heh, so you're the king's son? Justjust wonderful. " Reply with flat.
'' What the fuck is that? What the fuck is that flat sentence? Don't you trust me?'' Siena who felt slighted by my flat sentence, protested loudly.
'' Yes.. Yep.. I trust. I trust. An Elf in charge of guarding the forest was a king's daughter. Also amazed by a small child-like meadow who first saw such a thing was the daughter of the King-*Duak*..Uh...''
''You. you. You talk about it again!! Basic man sucks, Without any guilt, he said that after hitting my stomach.
'' Ka-you're the one who sucks. Why did you hit me again? Has it become your habit?! "
'' Wrong yourself, why are you twitching " Before finishing her sentence, Siena's hand and hers have been captured by the Archilles.
'' Sir, is this woman about to attack you again? Do I need to break his hand so that he doesn't attack you again?''
The Archilles who saw me being hit by Siena immediately caught Siena. While Siena who heard the Archilles say that sentence could only pale and fear.
'' Hey let me go!!''
''Silence. If you move then I will break both of your small arms, threatening Archilles to return.
Siena who heard the Archilles' rebuke then kept silent in fear.
'' Enough Orxsia! No need to do that. But it's also true, how about we make him feel as crumpled as before, or we just strip him. Hahahaha''
''No!!! You're going too far Glen! Don't do that! I'm sorry, but it wasn't purely my fault, remember? I hit you because you mocked me, so can we take it even? Or if you need to just hit me, right? Please hit me!''
Siena who heard me say the sentence earlier could only answer resignedly and with teary eyes.
'' Ha-Ha-ha, you're winning too seriously, Siena. That was just a joke, you know? Look at your frightened expression hahahaha. Where have I thought of doing such a thing to you! I'm not the kind of person who would torture or hurt a woman if it wasn't an emergency you know! Well we can assume this is even or rather I won because it can make you tear up like a child hahahaha. Archilles, let him go!''
Hearing me say the command immediately Siena was taken down and released.
''You.hiks..you're outrageous Glen! You did it again!"
Siena who had been sent down uttered with a reddened face and teary eyes.
It seemed like he was about to hit me again, but since there was still Archilles behind him, he also suppressed his intentions.
'' Well forgive me, take it easy, I won't hit you anyway. Alright..Alright.. The archilles! Next time you can't hurt this shitty Elf, okay? "
Seeing the frightened Siena after being threatened by the Archilles, I felt guilty.
''Alright My Lord! I understand and will do it.''
''It's good that you understand. Now... village chief, can you borrow a place for us to stay? We don't have any money for now, but I promise, if we have any money, then I'll refund the lodging fee 2x. Do you agree?'' I asked the village chief who had just been silent, when we were fighting.
'' Good Lord, how about you stay at my place? My house is not too far from here, and is quite large.''
''Hemm. All right, how much does the rent cost?''
''No-No sir! I'm offering you help for free as a form of apology for being disrespectful to your entourage.''
''Freebies? You're gonna give a place to stay for free, to someone you just met? Are you planning to frame me?'' out of suspicion I pointed to the village chief.
''Ti-No Sir, I have no such intention. This I do as a sincere apology to you.. If Master still suspects me, what if Master gives me 3 silver coins after you have the money? That was the standard price for an inn.'' Nervously and flatly the village chief tried to explain to me that he was not trying to trap me.
''Okay, I accept your offer. I'll return her 2x fold after getting the money. Show us the way!''
'' Alright, please come through here, sir''
The village chief led us to his house.
