Village Chief’s House
Immediately after receiving Meluerina’s and Volsung’s report, the village representatives gathered in the Village Chief’s house. Of course, Meluerina, Volsung, and also Dirkhert were among them.
“Chief, those people are……?”
“They are travelers who arrived at our village today. They have discovered footprints of a monster.”
Hearing Chief’s words, the three introduce themselves.
“How do you do, I take care of our Master here, Melu is my name.”
“The guard, Vol.”
“…… Dirk.”
Dirkhert who couldn’t introduce himself properly right after arriving in the village properly introduced himself this time. Meluerina and Volsung were rejoicing.
They would normally spoil him with, you did great, but this is not the right situation, so they endure.
“While they were exploring the village with young master, they have found footprints in the wheat field. My son and I went to take a look together, they were without a doubt the footprints of a Wolf.”
“Moreover, quite a big fellow. The dimensions of the footprints were not less than 10cm.”
The moment they heard it, the gathered people became noisy.
Following the Chief, no one could conceal the trembling after his son’s words.
“We would normally have troubles with a regular wolf, how are we going to deal with a big one?”
“All of us have to cooperate to somehow defeat it.”
“However……”
Not like that, how about this way, while everyone was looking for the best option, Meluerina and Volsung look at each other and nod.
“Please calm down.”
Meluerina panpan claps her hands and calms down the noise.
“Brother-in-law-sama and I will cooperate in the wolf extermination this time. From the footprints we found, we can determine that the species acts in a pack. Naturally, it’s reasonable to think that the Wolf from today also acts in a pack. If you add the big wolf to the normal ones, I don’t believe that you will be able to fight back.”
“That Elf-sama okay, but what could a maid like you do?”
Meluerina probably expected that. She takes a card from the pocket on her apron and shows it to the people.
“I’m an A-Rank adventurer even if I look like this. I don’t think I will be a hindrance to you, but?”
After saying that with a daring smile, the men in the room became noisy again.
“A-Rank!?”
“O, oi, the A-Rank Melu……!”
“Surely not, Melu of the Red Wind!?”
“I have heard she went missing several years ago, but to think she married and had a child……”
“She eloped with Elf-sama. As expected of half-demon, no A-Rank adventurers really are different.”
Somewhat, a strange misunderstanding was made, but it would be troublesome correcting them now. Meluerina and Volsung decided to leave it as is for now.
“Say, Melu. Adventurer, what is that?”
“I will tell you after it calms down, could you wait a moment?”
“You are talking about monster-san now, so it’s okay to tell me later.”
After saying that, he went to the corner of the Village Chief’s house to play with Chocola, Tart, and Pudding. Meluerina panpan claps her hands again.
“Dirk-sama is waiting, therefore let’s quickly decide how to settle the matter. First of all……”
And then, under Meluerina’s directions, the meeting for defeating the Wolves steadily progressed.
