We’re past the middle stage of the “Beginner Village” arc. This is an event that only Alfred appears in. In other words, I’m not a part of it.
After crossing a mountain, Alfred will meet a female traveler in a village near a forest, one who journeys through the world like a pilgrim.
The female traveler can read the stars, something known as a divine power among certain people. And she will read Alfred’s fate. Although she doesn’t know the exact timeline, she knows that his future is filled with sorrow and grief.
Ever since our first meeting, I’ve helped Alfred from time to time, making sure he’s in the right direction. Therefore, the plot should still take him to the right path.
Right in front of that carnage, that evil that will tower and lie in wait before him.
The day in which all his loved ones die will come, neither too far from now nor too close.
“I-I see… When will you… depart tomorrow?”
“Ahh. At early morning. That’s why I’m glad that I can meet you today. The next time we will meet… will be in two weeks.
Two weeks.
Actually, this event isn’t as dangerous as the “Outdoor Summer Training” event.
Even so, Alfred will be traveling in places without demon repellent technology. If he’s unlucky, he might encounter some demons roaming on the mountain.
According to the game’s plot, Alfred, Cheddar-san, and Cheddar-san’s wife will encounter several demons at once.
The demons in this region are mostly docile, and even if they are terribly starved, they won’t attack humans.
But Alfred and his group get attacked anyway.
Well… This time, Alfred won’t be fighting alone, so it should be okay.
Cheddar-san has a large body, like a wrestler. He’s also super strong. It’s to the point that he can lift a cow by himself. In fact, according to the game’s plot, he’ll actually lift a cow on this journey! Too amazing. Please give me some strength too. If I’m not mistaken, the wife can also face off with a bear by herself. Amazing. Too amazing. What a power couple.
That’s why it should be okay…
From my pocket I pull out three pieces of the recovery medicine, the ones I keep with me in every occasion, and stuff them into Alfred’s chest pocket.
It shouldn’t be that dangerous, so chances are he’ll only fight once on the journey. That said, he’ll be spending time in the wilderness of the mountain, and can get injured by some other means. For that reason, I gave him more than one recovery medicine. There’s also the possibility that Cheddar-san or his wife will get injured too.
“S-since I got samples of the medicine, I’ll give them to you. Also…”
I remove the handmade “Glittering Protection Number 8” pendant from around my neck, and hand it to Alfred.
“T-that’s right. This is also a sample, so… why don’t you test it out for me? It’s new technology and can ward off evil spirits. You just have to grip the part of the necklace that has engravings, and after you recite ‘Flash’, it will glow. It will let out strong light that demons hate. A-and also…”
“Lian.”
But I ignore him. Instead, a take out a bundle of “Calorie-main Cookies,” which I’ve also saved and has a long shelf life. Something I made to prepare for life in a refugee camp once the demons wipe out most of the village.
