Sobera Village [2]

"Brother Ares...you will definitely kill the goblins and avenge my father right?"

"Of course, Rin." I patted the girl's head lightly and gave the herbs she had collected, "Here, go and take this medicine, you will mother will quickly recover with this."

"Thank you, brother."

I parted with Rin, as a huge giant-like guy greeted me while aiming ear-to-ear, "Hello, Adventurer! I am Daegu and I will be your guide for the day!"

"Oh, yes. I am Ares, pleased to meet you."

Thereafter, we resigned from the village's chief's house and Daegu guided me to the area to be investigated.

"Well, Although I heard you are a warrior recommended by the guild, it's better to not take this lightly."

"Really?"

"If it were just a goblin, we could have defeated them on our own... If only it weren't for him!"

"Oh, the rumored higher species?"

"Yes, if only that bastard hadn't appeared Vice won't have lost his life!"

"Vice?"

"Yea, he is Rin's father, the greatest warrior of our village."

"Thank you for the advice, I promise I'll get revenge."

"Hmph, it's not going to be exactly revenge if you kill that bastard."

"Hahaha, don't worry, leave it to me."

The chatter made the distance we traveled ignorant and I soon find myself on the outskirts with a few goblins scouting the part of the village they had occupied, 'Magic Detection!'

Daegu drew his spear from the back and stood guard for me in case of an ambush as I used the [Magic Detection] to see the situation of my enemy.

'Probably 150 of them...even more if I calculated the scouts on the other sides of the settlement.'

As my magic energy kept on dissipating in the forward direction suddenly I got a wind of high wavelength of mana, 'This is, it's definitely the leader of the goblins, Goblin General!'

Its magical energy alone was overwhelming and I know its build will not later any in comparison to its magical powers.

'This is indeed going to be suicidal without proper strategy.'

"Mr. Ares, if you can check the situation inside just by sitting here, can you see and tell me if there any human inside the settlement?"

"Human...Alright."

".... I don't feel any human-like magic, so it's safe to assume that this is not the case. Now that we know what the village is like, let's check the area around the village and go back today."

"If you're convinced, I have nothing to say."

"Okay, then let me continue with the directions."

"Please, do so."

With the help of Daegu returning to the village while avoiding the goblin scouts was apiece of cake, "Thank you very much for guiding."

"It's alright! This is the least I can do for you, after all."

After breaking up with Daegu, I suddenly remembered the story of Rin's mother's poor health.

'Yes, as long as I deliver the healing potion that I had bought from the house, she will be easily cured, so I'll stop by Rin's house.'

Fortunaetly, while coming to the village I had talked to Rin for quite while and she had described how her house looks like in the conversation.

'If I am right this should be her house.'

I stood a before a small hut that would be barely able to fit in 10 people or so however it bought back memories of the studio I used to live in during my life back on earth.

"Hello, is anyone there? It's me, Ares."

Soon I heard agile footsteps and the door opened instantly, "Brother Ares! Please come in."

The hut seemed ugly outside but the insides were a bit different and moderately suited for accommodating people at the corner of the chamber a sick woman struggled to sit up while saying.

"I'm Namir, Rin's mother, and I heard that you helped her in a dangerous place, so thank you very much."

"Now, please don't be very thankful it was my job as an adventurer to rescue those in danger. And I heard from Rin that you have been infected with some serious illness."

"Yes, the doctors are unable to find which disease I have been infected with...it's quite sad I have to leave Ri-..."

The woman's words halted in the midst however both I and Rin seemed like she understood what was her mother rambling on about, "Don't worry, mam."

I called upon a green liquid sealed inside a glass bottle and gave it over to Namir, "Please take this option and you will be all good soon."

"Oh no, How can I! These are the precious potions that will help during your battles how can I drink this!"

"Please drink it, mam, I have bought lots of it."

"Mama. please have it! Since Ares's brother says so, you will definitely be cured!"

After being convinced by her daughter Namir finally drank the potion and I observed how this was working in real life, 'It's exactly as on in the game, the only pain in the ass is that I have to uncaap the bottle and drink the potion admist while confronting the opponent.'

Anyway, Namir who looked like a sick person till now, immediately after drinking the intermediate potion, her ruddy color improved and she looked completely healthy.

'The effect is indeed amazing.'

At that moment, I couldn't help but wish there were potions from this world in my previous life.

"My body is light... It's okay... Rin, I'm sorry for worrying you, Mommy is okay."

"Mother!"

'Yes, mother and daughter hugging... It's a beautiful sight.'

I just want to hang this scene in a painting. I mean, in the game, this request was not in the scenario as an event, but if there were, this scene would have been definitely a CG.

"Mr. Ares, thank you very much. I don't know how could I ever repay this favor."

"No, they were all things I did on my own, so I don't care, I don't need you to thank me... No, I've already received a thank you from the smiles on your faces haha."

"Mr.Ares...Rin, you too should be a wonderful person by following Ares' example."

"Yes!"

"I'm embarrassed, Ms.Namir."

"Hey Mom, let's have brother Ares stay with us!"

"Huh?"

"There's an empty room right, Mom, okay?"

"Well, I can't offer you much hospitality, but as long as Ares is good with the room, he can stay for as many days as he wants."

"Then I will take upon the offer, Ms. Namir."

"Horray~! Brother, let's go I will show you around the village's market."

"Hey! Brother Ares, stay with me!!"

"Hm~m, okay, then I'll spoil your words, Namir-san, thank you."
