Chapter 47: We’ve hunted some of the orcs living in the forest over there
To make Dant-sans group feel welcomed, I asked the villagers to prepare a feast for them in the village plaza.
Thankfully, the villagersespecially the housewivesobliged. They did their utmost to prepare dishes made with orc meat as well as those made with the crops we harvested.
As for the drinks, it was of course going to be the alcohol we made.
Its so delicious!
Im glad you like it. That ones made from the crops harvested in this village.
What about this meat?
Its orc meat. Weve hunted some of the orcs living in the forest over there.
Its orc meat!?
Voices of surprise came not only from Dant-san but also from the soldiers acting as his guard.
There seems to be a fair number of orcs in the forest, so supply shouldnt be an issue for the meantime. My point is, please dont hold yourself back.
supply shouldnt be an issue
Hes bluffing, right? Hes got to be bluffing, right???
Dant-sans group seemed to still be tensed.
They should be able to relax a little once they drink some of our alcohol though
I thought so, but then, Millia suddenly stood up and addressed the whole crowd.
What is she going to do?
As our entertainment for tonights festivities, our villages esteemed fighters would like to hold exhibition matches.
Huh? Theyre doing what? How come I didnt hear of this before?
That said, exhibition matches would definitely make things exciting.
After Millia was done with her announcement, Balrath-san and Perun-sanwho both had [Sword Techniques]walked to the center of the plaza.
A short while after, a fierce, lightning-fast sword fight began.
Meanwhile, the villagers watched with gradually increasing excitement. There were even some who stood up and shouted to cheer.
The two were really amazing. I had seen them spar before, but it felt like they were so much stronger now than back then.
Huh? Is it my imagination or have Dant-sans guards completely stopped eating?
Excuse me, but ahm, is the food perhaps not to your liking?
O-oh, its not that! The foods heavenly! Its, its just thatI cant stop watching
Because it worried me, I decided to ask so.
The one who hurriedly shook his head and answered my question was Bazara-san, the leader of the guards.
Well, duh. Theyre fighters, so of course theyd be focused on watching the exhibition match.
Theres no doubt about itthose two, they have the [Sword Techniques] Giftbut how, how can there be two such people in a remote village?
Bazara-san uttered something under his breath, but it was likely an analysis of the fight that only a fellow fighter would understand, so I didnt bother asking.
After a while, the exhibition match ended.
Balrath-san and Perun-san made their exit, only to be replaced by two others.
Much like before, the replacements began a mock battle.
huh? Dont tell me this place has more people with Gifts
We had more villagers, so as to be expected, we had more people with Gifts.
Including the children who couldnt unlock their Gifts yet, about 10% of the population had Gifts. That was easily over a hundred people.
From those, 31 had combat-type Gifts. However, excluding the children, the elderly, and those who had stamina issues, the count goes down to 24.
To name a few of the Gifts present in our village: [Sword Techniques], [Spear Techniques], [Axe Techniques], [Grappling Techniques], [Whip Techniques], [Bow Techniques], and [Aiki Techniques].
As the night went on, it became more and more apparent that each of those 24 villagers would participate in tonights series of exhibition matches.
As for the other villagers, they enthusiastically cheered the fighters on.
Wow. The whip flows so freely! Its like part of their arm or something!
Thats it! There! Go!
Oh my, youre so cool!
On the other hand, Dant-sans group was eerily quiet. It could be that they were just so focused on watching.
They look a bit pale though
When the exhibition matches for the 24 villagers who had combat-type Gifts were over, those who had magic-type Gifts stood up and walked toward the center, fully intent to showcase their Gifts.
Magic-type Gifts were even rarer than combat-type Gifts. In fact, we only had a total of 8 villagers who had such Gifts. That count included Selen as well as two children who were yet to be blessed.
There are even those who can use magic? What the hell is going on in this village?
Ahm, are you sure youre alright? I guess the foods really not
No, no, Im fine! Really! So dont mind me please!
Even though he definitely didnt seem alright, Bazara-san shook his head rapidly.
