Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Treatment

Ferris Forest huh, that’s quite a nostalgic place.

It has already been over a month. Time pa.s.ses really quickly, huh.

I feel like it was quite a long time ago, let's have a look at the details of the request. The client is Zonga-san; if I remember correctly he was the Village Head of Barris Village. The clear condition is to subjugate a Guro Rabbitsu. It's a monster I've never heard of before. Well, its Rank is B; it’s totally a Mob monster for me now. I would be able to take care of it with no problems. Oh, there are many of these Rabbitsu, well it’s not like I care. And the reward is 6 gold coins, well this seems alright for an average B-rank request.

Those are the contents of the request. Now, the question is whether to accept this request or not. The client is Zonga-san, in other words, it's a request from Barris Village. Although it would be nice to go to Barris Village and meet Gantt-san and the others, the problem is that it is far away. Well if I run, I wonder how long it would take to get there now. Alright, let’s go.

Just as I was thinking so, Grace came over. Was he in the guild this entire time?

[Yuuma, are you going to take that request?]

He asked me that with a serious face.

[Ah, Yes. I intend to take it.]

[Is that so, then I don’t have to worry, but be careful, although the request is a B-rank, A Guro Rabbitsu is equivalent to an A-rank Monster]

What did you say! Then why is this Request considered as B-rank? I asked Grace-san while pondering about it.

[Ah, Although this only my guess, it is because Barris Village does not have enough money. Originally Barris village was quite poor. They had collected a large amount of money just to hire me. And also, Because of my failure, the entire village was also affected. They had used a lot of money to help me back then too.]

I understand now. Even I agree that when it comes to Rank A, the reward is quite high. And it would not work with just hiring a Rank B, but they cannot afford so much money either.

[so that's how it is. I understand now.]

But still, if it was not for such a reason, I would not have accepted this request. But maybe, there's just no other Adventurer who would accept this request

[Sorry Yuma. Truthfully, it’s a request that was meant for me, but I cannot defeat this monster. No, Even if we go together we probably won’t be able to beat it.]

Grace-san had a Dark expression on his face that I had never seen before. The reason may be troubling, but I'll leave that for later.

[Understood. I shall be the one responsible for this subjugation.]

And so I left Grace-san there. I walked towards Meru-san with the request form, when someone who saw the request I picked up suddenly started talking to me.

[Y-you, Are you going to accept this request!?]

The man who was talking to me was a pretty rugged Adventurer in Armour. Rather, I seem to have seen this fellow somewhere before, it’s probably my imagination.

[Yes, that’s correct. Is something the matter?]

When I answered so, the Man looked extremely happy, and talked while nodding his head,

[Thanks a lot~. For a moment I felt like n.o.body would accept the request at all!  Actually a few days back, the Guro Rabbitsu had attacked the village, but we were able to somehow manage to send it back to the forest but I didn’t know if we could be able to hold it off this time.]

WHAT! It's already attacked the village!?

[Sorry for interrupting, is it true that the village had been attacked!? Was anybody from the village hurt!?]

When I asked that, the man replied with an expression full of depression.

[The village was protected somehow, but a few people were injured, and my Senpai Gantt-san, while trying to save me, his legs…...]

Gantt-san lost his legs while trying to save this fellow? I remember now! That’s why I felt as if I remember seeing him somewhere; he was the gatekeeper with Gantt-san that time.

[And, is Gantt-san alright? How is he?]

[A-aah, there is no danger to his life. But, he may not be able to walk anymore.]

Alright so it was just the legs! If that’s the case then Recovery Magic will somehow probably be able to fix it! I felt extremely excited and therefore I tried to calm myself.

[Understood. Then, I shall excuse myself. And you can be relieved. Rest a.s.sured, I shall take care of the Guro Rabbitsu and make sure that no more harm is done to the Village.]

When I said so, the Man had tears in his eyes, while saying Thank you, Thank you.

And then I walked to where Meru-san was,

[Good Morning Meru-san, I would like to take this Request without delay.]

When I said so, Meru-san became serious.

[Good Morning Yuuma-kun, I heard all of it. Make sure to be careful. There have been quite a lot of adventurers who have lost their lives to it. It’s a Monster which can’t even be taken down by a Party of B-ranks. It’s that kind of monster. Don’t let your guard down.  ]
[Yes, I shall keep it in mind. Ah, Meru-san can you help me leave a message for Iguru?]
[Message? Alright I don’t mind.]
[Well, as I am going to Barris Forest, it will probably take a day or 2 to get back. Please tell Sari and the others about it, and that there is nothing to worry about.]
[Got it. I will make sure to convey it properly.]
[Thank you very much. Then I shall be off!]

Saying so to Meru-san, I left the guild.

Now then, the first thing to do now is to get to Barris village and treat Gantt-san. It will take a while to get there since it’s quite far away but there's nothing to worry about since I have a large quant.i.ty of food in the Item box. Alright, it’s time to leave.

I greet the Gatekeeper normally and then started to run towards Barris Village. This time it was for Gantt-san, therefore its full speed ahead.

Several hours after leaving Forks I was able to arrive at Barris village without any hitches. Last time it took me a week to get to Forks from Barris Village, this speed is definitely overpowered.

And as soon I arrived at Barris Village, I noticed the differences from before.

[The gate, it's all beat up.]

The gate which was previously in a pretty good state now was all beat up and had scratches everywhere, but was still somehow protecting the village.

Even so, I held the gate gently and entered the Barris Village. As soon as I entered the village there was a person who spoke to me.

[oh-, are you perhaps- Yuuma-san-!]

I walked towards the voice that called out to me; it was Sari's look-alike, Mari. Hmm, if you look closer you could see that Mari had longer hair.

[Yo Mari, it’s been a while]

When I said so, Mari returned a cheerful smile.

[Saying such a thing as long time even though it's only been a month- I never expected to see you again so quickly. Even so, Yuuma-san seems to have not changed-. Is what I thought, but you seem to have become more muscular?]

Oh, as I thought; my body seems to have grown again! If it goes on like this, I wonder if I will become a muscle man someday…..probably not. Being fit in moderation is fine.

[Ha ha, I took down a lot of monsters and grew a little bit. Right, Mari, sorry to ask you something so soon, But can you please take me to the place where Gantt-san is?]

[Eh, no problem. But Father is hurt and he cannot move yet-]

Although her tone was normal, her face was sullen.

[Ah, if it's about the Injury, maybe my Recovery Magic can do something about it.]

When I said so, Mari’s completely sullen expression changed colours immediately.

[REALLY!? Quickly this way Yuuma-san!]

Saying so Mari grabs my hands and runs.

A few minutes later, With Mari’s guidance, we arrived at the Inn run by Maria-san. And we entered the room in which Gantt-san was resting.

[DAD! Yuuma-san says that he can heal your injury…...]

Hmm? Mari’s words trailed off as went into the room strangely. Thinking that, I went into the room…...

[Oi, Come in already you don’t need permission, get in already Yuuma-konoyaro!]
[AraAra, Yuuma has come back. Welcome back]

Gantt-san and Maria-san said so calmly. Why. Why are the two of you so calm? And while embracing each other in such a way. Noticing that gaze of mine, Gantt-san hurriedly explained.

[Ok, I cannot stay like this forever. Sorry Maria, help me up.]
[It’s alright, do not worry. You fought hard for the village. Even though it's a shame that you will not be able to walk as a result, you do not need to worry as we will support you.]
[Maria…..]
[Hubby….]

Oy, these two, I guess Mari and I have been forgotten. I ran here desperately as soon I heard that he was injured, why do I have to see this Lovey-dovey scene! Anyways, I'll quickly finish the treatment and get the h.e.l.l away from this place!

[Gantt-san, Please look here for a moment. Yes just like that,[Heal]]
[Oooooo? What did you do Yuuma!]

That’s when Gantt-san stood up on his own two feet. Yes on the two feet that should have been injured. Maria-san, who was looking at this scene from the side, murmured in a dazed expression.

[Hu-hubby, your legs!]

Gantt-san who heard it finally noticed his condition.

[O-Ooh! I can stand! I can really stand!!]
[Yes, It’s has been healed. Then, I shall take my leave with this. I'll see you later.]

Alright. Then, I left the room. Oops, I seem to have left Mari inside. Well, it’s alright. But still, to show such intimacy despite the situation. I am actually really envious. Well, anyways I feel relieved since my worry has been dispelled.

 

 

Ok, with this, the first objective has been achieved. Then the next thing would be to go the Village Head’s house and get more details on the request. Thinking so, I started walking towards the Village head’s house.
