Heroes From Other Worlds Who Don't Like To Fight

Chapter 77: A Small Desire

Reports have been sent in letters written by Astrea, just waiting for time to make the entire royal army hunt down the people who created the plague.

In short half of their work has been completed quickly.

Souma was in charge of carrying the carriage while Astrea was sitting beside him casually, by the way it's been a week since they've toured every town to heal people even now Souma is sure the commander is fighting on the front lines.

"This is the last city, we can return by my teleportation magic if you want."

"I have one place I want to go can we."

With no intention of resisting, Souma nodded at Astrea's request, and they went to a small village that only had a few houses and a few family heads inside.

Souma had already predicted this when they stopped to buy a lot of food. This is the village where Astrea grew up.

The people gathered as they realized that the one who came was Astrea.

"You're coming again."

"Um. I just happened to pass by here."

It was definitely not a coincidence, their goal was contrary to what they wanted to do. Souma was not a ruthless person who would say all that without a little sympathy for Astrea.

In short Astrea was always worried about this place. There are times in a few months he will visit here.

An old grandmother patted his back.

"I remember you're the sweet girl you're with, you're still wearing indecent clothes and you have the smell of cigarettes on your body, you're fighting too."

"... Ahaha, it's hard to throw away my bad habits but at least I'm completely healthy."

Astrea is an elf but the inhabitants here are obviously human, when the fire in the fairy forest she was separated from her parents and washed away by the river, they were the ones who took care of her until now.

It was a rough picture of his life.

Until now Souma was still confused when he heard that the elves were still in contact with humans which resulted in them being chased out of the fairy forest, because he did not want to think of something that had happened Souma chose to eliminate that question and accept everything as destiny.

"I brought food so please help to share it with everyone."

"You shouldn't.."

"No, please accept this even my whole life I still can't repay your kindness."

"You're making things too hard on yourself."

Souma chose to leave the work to the villagers, while he sat watching from under the tree, Astrea followed him as she finished talking to people she knew.

"You want a cigarette?"

"You're crazy, I don't smoke."

"Keep that dangerous thing away from me. I'm proud to be a virgin at my age."

"A strange pride, I took it from some of the guild staff.

That was shocking news for Souma.

Souma flicked his finger and the black flames burned a bit of the tip of the cigarette in Astrea's hand.

He sucked it for a moment before exhaling smoke into the air with a blank look.

"I'd love to take all these people to the village of Huruhara, rather than here they'll be better protected, and I'm sure they can live a little better."

"If you want it, you just have to convince them further."

"That seems difficult" he said, smiling bitterly, although he had never tried.

For Souma himself it was not a difficult thing to do, the difficult thing here was for Astrea, if Astrea said it she was afraid that these villagers would reject her.

It's kind of a baseless fear.

He just felt that the residents would start to hate him.

Therefore, when Astrea fell asleep at night, Souma secretly had a meeting with the village elders, she talked about all the things Astrea wanted and it was only the next morning that Astrea was startled by things she had not imagined.

"What's wrong with you all?"

"This place feels uncomfortable, we decided to live in the same village as you," the old grandmother first said it following the agreement of the others.

"But this isn't your house."

"It's our home, it's convenient to stay here but we don't intend to make any of our families continue to worry."

"Eh."

"Then let's all make a celebration for our move."

"We agree."

Astrea could only silently grieve.

"Listen Astrea, if you have any complaints, suggestions, requests don't hesitate to tell us. Whatever it is not better to talk about."

"All of you... Um."

From a distance Souma just stared at the scene while leaning against the wall of one of the house buildings with a small smile on his face.

His task now is to move all these people and their homes to the village of Huruhara.
