Chapter 124 – How to Save the Race.

“Thank you! Boo! Thanks to you, I survived! Boo!”

Inaba repeatedly bowed his head and expressed his gratitude to Tiaran and the others.

“Ugh, wow! Okay, saying thank you is enough.”

“I don’t feel well…”

“I want to rest quickly…”

However, perhaps because the Anis had been thrown at him and flew away, after he caught them and lowered them to the ground, they were busy retching with a pale blue complexion, as if they were belatedly suffering from motion sickness.

‘Not all adventurer races are as strong as that person. Wow.’

Inaba’s subtle misunderstandings also increased, but they were unable to understand them.

“How should I repay this…”

“Because we came here on request. I think all we need is some accommodation for the four of us.”

Although we arrived quickly thanks to Gold Pucker, we hadn’t been able to rest properly since arriving in the Erenia area. First, I needed a place to spend my travels.

“Oops, I’m sorry. Poof. I’d like to introduce you to the best house, but this is what the village is like.”

If you follow Inaba’s gaze as he looks around as if he is troubled, you can see rabbit beastmen here and there busy building huts that were destroyed by monsters or cutting down trees.

‘The ones working are all women.’

The water spirit seems to have expanded her magical power considerably, and there are only rabbit women, both adults and children, with the same appearance, with blue hair and red eyes.

“Why are there only huts here? If possible, it would be better to build a proper house… Boo?!”

“Krusha! That’s rude!”

Since the hut had such a simple structure, if the tent was in good condition, all I had to do was bring some wood to use as a frame, but it seemed strange to Krusha. Lucia belatedly tried to cover her mouth.

“I’m sorry. Byung. I guess there are no men in the village…”

“Ah.”

Crusha belatedly realized her situation and froze when she saw Inaba rolling her eyes with an awkward expression. No matter how much Maka plays an all-purpose role in this world, in the end, most of the hard work is done by men.

This village, whose man was taken away by the water spirit, was in a situation where it was as if it had lost not only its engineers but also its workers.

In their situation, a hut would have been the best option for them. At least since we were a beast people, we would have been able to do something with our strength.

“Krusha is a fool.”

“Ugh!”

Crusha couldn’t bear to refute Anis’s low rebuke.

“Well, don’t worry though! Pop! I’ll give you the best house I can for you. Pop!”

The place we arrived at with Inaba’s boasts.

“Cave?”

“It’s a cave.”

“It’s a cave.”

It was a cave right nearby. The village itself seemed to have been built based on a cave, and since they were a beast people, it wasn’t strange.

“Isn’t it a dungeon?”

“It’s rude to go to someone else’s house. Bye.”

What was the cold and damp feeling? The unorganized luggage and tools of unknown purpose strewn everywhere added to the gloominess, making it look like a dungeon.

“It’s a mess because it’s been left empty for a while, but this is my home. Wow.”

“Are you sure you’re staying here?!”

“The floor is a bit uncomfortable, but if you just put down some leather, it’s no problem. Wow!”

At the same time, they did not know what to say when they saw Inaba spreading out on the floor the five pieces of fur he had received from the same rabbit people.

“This is just homeless… Oops.”

“”Anise!””

“Sorry.”

It seems that Anise was in no position to say anything to Krusha.

“Si, I’ll treat you to a sumptuous meal! Boom!”

Inaba also blushed as if she couldn’t hide her embarrassment and patted her chest while making a fuss.

“This is a fruit?”

The meal given to them was even more miserable. I don’t know what kind of fruit it is, but it’s a small bunch of fruit speckled with green and yellow that looks like it shouldn’t be eaten.

“This looks like a tree root…”

Fresh as if the dirt had just been shaken off? Tree roots.

“Tree bark, isn’t it?”

The hard bark of a tree scorched deliciously by fire. Although it functions as a bowl, it is said to be eaten whole.

“All you need is a centipede.”

There are even centipedes crawling among them.

“Today’s harvest is great! Boom! Usually we share a bowl, but today we can each eat one. Boom! It’s a feast! Boom!”

For a moment, they wondered if the meaning of the banquet used by them and the prisoners was different.

“Wagu! Um? You’re not eating? Byung?”

-Geek!

”They’re eating centipedes alive!”

Lucia and Crusha trembled at the sight of the dying centipede, with only her tail sticking out from Inaba’s mouth and flapping her legs.

“This is a treat!”

”You’re eating this too?!”

Isn’t even Tiaran biting the centipede’s tail like nothing else? So, for a moment, I doubted whether it was really okay to eat it.

“Wait, what about Anise?”

“Where did they go?”

The girls soon realized that Anise’s presence had disappeared, and they looked around.

“Quite a bit.”

“Anisuuuuu!?”

“Hey, come to your senses!!!”

She had already passed out with foam at her mouth after eating her share after Tiaran and Inaba.

“I can’t help it.”

In the end, Tiaran caught a large wild boar from a nearby forest, and not only the villagers but also the group were able to eat their fill for dinner.

“Thank you so much, but please do it sooner if you can!”

“Hey, when I was a newbie, that was the basics.”

“I’ve never heard of something like that!”

“Meat is, of course, a blessed food.”

While Lucia and Tiarán bickered, Anis savored the boar meat alone and was moved.

“Wow, even the villagers said it’s been a while since they had meat.”

Finally, late night came. Krusha patted her stomach and opened her mouth.

“I guess it’s because there are no men to hunt.”

“That’s right. Everyone really liked it because it was their first time eating meat in a long time.”

“It’s a strange feeling to see a rabbit beast eating meat.”

Lucia laughed awkwardly, remembering the rabbit beastmen who watched in surprise when Tiaran caught the wild boar, and cheered when he started roasting and distributing it as if they were heroes.

“That’s a bit scary. Why aren’t they removing the bones?”

“The villagers said you were going to use it as a souvenir?”

In the end, the wild boar was peeled off without leaving any flesh behind, so in the end only the bones remained, but the problem was that it was smeared too neatly. The sight of a wild boar with nothing but its bones standing majestically in the center of the village was clearly visible from inside the cave.

“You won’t turn into a skeleton like that, right?”

“Don’t say strange things! It’s scary!”

We were lying in bed chatting trivially and then falling asleep one by one.

“… I finally fell asleep. Bang.”

Among them, Inaba, who was holding his breath, lifted the blanket he was covering.

“I’m glad that the medicine is effective for adventurers too. Wow.”

The first food Inaba served to Tiaran and his party contained herbs that acted as a kind of sleeping pill.

“Woohuhu, now’s your chance. Boom.”

It was the moment when she gently lifted the blanket Tia Ran was covering to carry out her plot.

“As expected, my nose is correct.”

“Poof?!”

Inaba was startled and tried to turn around when he heard Anise’s voice right behind him.

-Sreung!

“The most annoying bitch here is you.”

She sensed that if she moved any further, the sharp blue blade of the holy sword aimed at her neck would cause her head to escape.

“How on earth did you wake up? Wow? They must have put a lot of herbs that have a sleeping effect! Wow!”

“Did you forget? I put it in my mouth once and spit it out.”

“But that doesn’t make any sense. Boo! They even sprinkled spices on the meat! Boo!”

It was also cleverly disguised like other spices and given only to them. How on earth could that happen?

“Yes, then I guess it’s a blessing from the goddess.”

“It’s too rough! Wow!”

Inaba was sweating coldly, wondering why there were all these women.

“So why did you do this?”

“I’m curious too.”

“Poof?!”

Didn’t even Tiaran wake up and naturally ask as if he hadn’t fallen asleep from the beginning? I wondered if she hadn’t taken sleeping pills.

“Koh.”

“Hmm.”

‘Aren’t those women sleeping well? ‘Boom!’

Lucia and Crusha, who had eaten with them, were sleeping well despite the noise, so the effect of the sleeping pills was clear.

“If you don’t obey, I will cut off your hair and put it in that wild boar’s mouth to decorate it. Do you understand?”

“Hey! I’m going to tell you everything! I’m going to tell you, so please watch! Boom!”

So, what did I hear from Inaba?

“I want to get pregnant with your seed! Boom!”

“Huh?”

“Yes, the death penalty★”

Skang! Anise’s holy sword shined sharply.

“S-please save me! Boom! We can’t help it either! Boom! If this continues, our species will truly become extinct! Boom!”

“Question and answer dance.”

-Shhh!

“Huh?!”

Tiaran recalled the state of the village as he watched Inaba narrowly avoiding Anis’ holy sword.

‘If things continue like this, it will only take a moment for the village to disappear.’

I don’t know if the rabbit people are the only ones here, but since all the men in the village were taken away, it was only a matter of time before they were extinct. Reproduction is a problem, but not having a single man to support the village and feed the children is fatal. Even now, it was impossible to build a proper house because no one knew the technology.

“But why is the solution attacking me?”

“Hey! I’ll explain everything! Please stop this woman first! Boop!”

“Hmm, wait 30 more seconds.”

“Lord, I’m dying! Boom! I’m really dying! Boom!”
