Chapter 29: part 1 - Week Farm

Hey guys, I really appreciate the growing support! Sorry it took a bit getting the new chapter out. Patreon in case you suddenly feel like a pledge lol

Master look at all the shops!

Theres so many people

Its because its a merchant town, in fact today it seems emptier than usual.

This is empty?

Its no wonder Toa was surprised. Week is only a merchant town but it boasts a higher population than the royal capital itself. Toas eyes roamed around the numerous people in her sight, while Nems eyes were glued to the various accessories in the nearby shops. Although this was nothing new for Sierra so she maintained a calm demeanor.

For now, lets head out to week farm.

Theres the request to consider, but mainly I was just tired of there being so many people around me.

*

The clients farm sat on a small hill outside the town. A fence surrounded the property, inside were what appeared to be a mix between a cow and a bison. It was what Toa had been eating since this entire time, I was honestly a bit shocked

Excuse me! Is anyone here!?

After entering the farm, we had arrived at the first living quarters. Sierra had taken the initiative to call out but it doesnt seem like anyone is home. There were no sounds of someone coming to greet us and no signs of movement of someone coming out to take a gander at us.

There doesnt appear to be anyone here.

Apparently they all left.

Thats annoying, it seems my shopping will be delayed, if possible i would like to complete the request today. I want to go shopping. Especially since i dont plan to stay in this town for very long, once this is finished i want to leave. I havent really had a chance to get a good look at the town yet but despite the abundance of people and all the shops the atmosphere is quite dreary..

Master, theres people!

And then Nem found something. She had pointed to a barn, close by you could see people. We were told that the basilisk lived in a barn, i wonder if thats the one.

We live in fear everyday! Its unbearable!

As we arrived at the barn the first thing we hard was a voice filled with anger. Apparently the people who live here were blaming one man. The air around them was tense.

If we dont do something about that this place is finished! Why not just give up this land?! Youre the one that said you would drive it away!

Boris, youre getting old why not just give up the land a retire?

Boris Week.

That was the clients name. The man in the middle of this uproar was undoubtedly Boris Week, our client. I wondered why the people that lived here were blaming him, although i was pretty sure i knew the reason. In fact it probably had something to do with the basilisk that was living in the barn.

Everyone, Please just wait a little longer. I turned in a request to the adventurers guild in the capital. Today they should be coming to drive away the basilisk!

You said the same thing yesterday! How long do you expect us to wait today?!

By tomorrow, as Boris said this several faces fell.

At that point Sierra broke through the crowd, she was quite the aggressive person. The surrounding people were glaring at Sierra who had just shoved her way past people/

EXCUSE ME! IS BORIS WEEK HERE?!

Sierras voice seemed to cut through the crowd as they all had fallen silent.

I am Boris but, who are you?

Sorry for being late, My name is Sierra, Ive come from the capital for the basilisk extermination.

The tragic expression on Boris face changed at those words.

An adventurer!? Thank goodness, Did everyone hear that!? An adventurer had been sent by the guild! We can all relax now!

One after the other the village people spat out, I hope so. and left. What a cold bunch of people.

While that was going on i noticed a man glaring at us while flicking his tongue out. As the man noticed my gaze he turned those dirty eyes back onto Sierra before heading down with the other villagers.

Stinks.

Nem suddenly spoke as her nose twitched, her face was screwed up into a look of disgust.

It stinks? What do you mean?

Theres a smell mixed into the air.

:A smells mixed in?

What is that supposed to mean? Nems nose was twitching back and forth as she searched for the source of the smell.

Everyone one, thank you so much. You arrived at the perfect time.

Not at all, its because of the request.

Speaking of said basilisk, how long do you think this will take?

Masamune-dono, when can you start the extermination?

Sierra again.did NOT call me Nito. I guess at this point all I can do is give up.

Since the hero summoning ritual exists there sound be people who have Japanese-esk names so i doubt there was any need to worry about it in the first place. As long as it doesnt get around to Saeki and the others i dont particularly mind.

If possible id like to take care of it today because id like to take a look around town.

Shall we get started then?

Please wait! You cant just suddenly open the barn! The basilisk is an A rank monster! Shouldnt you try and check it out a little first!?

Sierra explained it earlier but it seems that the client used to be an adventurer. I see, in the case its normal for someone to try to figure out what theyre up against before getting started isnt it.

Oh dont worry about it this time, just relax. Masamune-dono is here after all.

The request was given to Sierra to take care of wasnt it? This person relies on me a bit too much, not to mention that big mouth she has.

For now can you just show us to the barn?

O-of course.

At that Boris pulled a key from his pocket. It seemed that the barn we were standing in front of was where the basilisk had chosen to take up residence.

The basilisk is inside but..?

Alright I bet its sleeping.

Its just like i thought!

Even though we had yet to actually open the barn Nem was saying something already.

The smell! Its the same smell as before!

What is this smell youve been talking about?

The basilisk! Theres no mistake the same smell was coming from that group of annoying people!

The basilisk smell?..I dont get it.

By the annoying people do you mean the villagers?

Nem nodded enthusiastically.

So basically you felt something from one of them?

Hes a fat guy with a mustache.

The one that was glaring at Sierra earlier. Although, why would the smell of the basilisk be coming from the villagers.

Most likely nobody but Nem who was a beast person would have noticed. Earlier they didnt approached the barn out of fear.

That was most likely August.

Boris seemed to be conscious of said person.

Who is he?

August has been a regular at this village for some time now. Hes a merchant that visits here quite often this being a merchant town and all.

A merchant with the smell of a basilisk, thats quite suspicious in and of itself.

Boris, have you interacted with this August person?

Yes actually, right before i went to the capital he offered to chase out the basilisk. In exchange for doing that it seems he wanted to buy this land, but i refused. This farm has been passed down for generations, its the symbol of Week, I wont just hand it over. However, the guy is a merchant, i doubt hes in league with a basilisk.

As i thought.

Uhm, is there something wrong with August?

Well, i believe he is working with the basilisk.

Oh ok.wait, what do you mean hes working with the basilisk?

It seems that Nem being a beast person was the only one to notice the smell but being an ex-adventurer i would have thought he would notice that something was off at least.

Yeah most likely the land is the target. Sierra can basilisks appear anywhere?

No, they are usually in the depths of the forests, you normally would never come across one.

In that case he most likely brought it here.

This time, Nem being here was a huge help. However im a bit worried because i was staring at Sierra.

Its thanks to Nem.

As i stroked the cat ears on her head she looked up at me uncertainly.

Instead of killing it id like to just chase it back into the forest. Sierra do you know of anyway we can do that?

Lets see to get it to run directly to the forest wed need to guide it. What if, we knock it out and carry it there?

Alright.Lets go with that.

Honestly i dont have a better way to do it so fuck it.

Boris-dono please move away from here.

Cliffhanger~!!!!!! Muhahahaha

Sorry guys i was getting settled back into my home country and what not and various things. But im back with a vicious cliff hanger! ?
