Given that Laeva and I were being particular making it, Bohd village’s security golems took 4 days to complete. If other people heard that, they would be surprised it took only 4 days, but the two of us used Alchemy and Smithing Magic, and with Titan’s assistance, two golems in 4 days took a long time.
The security golems are already guarding the village gate. Because of these security golems, this small Bohd village had obtained defenses excessively disproportionate to their means.
On the remaining days, I began developing a magic device that would change Akane-san’s appearance.
Margrave Volton and his Majesty were spearheading the disturbance of Sydnia, but I had the idea that she should look like a different person even if she was seen.
「Even with just the hair color changed, her presence would change considerably.」
「That’s right. If her face is changed, even we wouldn’t know who she is.」
「U-umm.」
As Laeva and I were discussing the specifications of the transfiguration magic device, the concerned party Akane-san called out to us, seemingly wanting to say something.
「Umm, can I become a beastkin or an elf too?」
「Hmmm, ………… you’d stand out even more.」
「Yes. That’s the reason we waited until we were A rank adventurers to be released. Well, I had no qualms with being Takumi-sama’s slave indefinitely though.」
「Oh right, there was even a war that stared because elves were targeted.」
「It was Triaria Kingdom. The sole country in this continent that the Divine Empire of Sydnia is friendly with.」
「Yup, being human is good.」
「It’s okay to change only your hair and eye color.」
Afterwards, at Akane-san’s request, I would develop a magic tool that would change her hair to blonde and eyes to green like Sophia’s.
「So, a ring, a bracelet, or a pendant. Which would be good?」
「If she’s always wearing it, I think the only option is a ring. Pendants and bracelets are removed when we take baths.」
「Akane-san is a rear guard, so an accessory wouldn’t get in the way during a fight, but I wonder if a ring is good enough to not mind wearing it continuously.」
The magic device to be given to Akane-san will be in the form of a ring. Its material will be mithril alloy, and with the use of a small magic crystal, an illusion magic will activate continuously through her residual magic power.
When the ring type magic device was handed to Akane-san, it was strange that she was somehow more delighted than I expected, but if she’s happy then that’s good.
Kaede, Marnie, Akane-san, and Lulu-chan actively thinned out the monsters around the village. This was to increase Lulu-chan’s level, while simultaneously exterminating the goblins and kobolds that multiply easily.
To Kaede, Marnie, and Akane-san, the monsters in this area wouldn’t increase their levels considerably, so their tactic seemed to have been giving Lulu-chan the final hit.
Kaede apparently intends to take Lulu-chan to monster nests around Volton when we return.
「Make sure to come back!」
I was hugging Martha-san. Our 10 day stay ended, and at the gate of Bohd village, the villagers came to see us off.
「Yes, I’ll definitely be back.」
「Oo, Takumi’s cabiー it can’t be called a cabin anymore, huh. That house will always be yours.」
「Thank you very much, Vanga-san.」
「「「Kaede-chan too, you must definitely come back!」」」
The village wives made a passionate and heartfelt appeal to Kaede, but knowing that they were after her thread, Kaede drew back a little.
「Well then, Vanga-san, Martha-san, Bobon-san, everyone in the village, thank you very much. We will definitely come back. Stay well until then.」
Pulling the carriage, Tsubaki began running. The people of Bohd Village waved their hands until we left and couldn’t see us anymore.
「They’re truly a good village.」
「Right? I was really relieved that I arrived at Bohd village when I first arrived at this world.」
As she watched us move farther away from Bohd village, Akane-san said so earnestly. She had immediately perceived the evil intentions of the pope of Sydnia upon her summoning. After that and until her escape, Lulu-chan was the only thing maintaining the balance of Akane-san’s heart. Compared to that, I was blessed with people around me, and I thanked Goddess Norn-sama for it once again.
The 10 days in Bohd village was a refreshing vacation for everyone thanks to the genial villagers.
