Chapter 27 – Notification of Dismissal
In the end, it was decided that everyone in the dark elf village would move out, and at the same time, I would be severely punished with an ecchi ban. It is a very painful punishment for me, but I will accept it with tears in my eyes because it has triggered the move of a peaceful village.
“Come to think of it, aren’t the fairies attending the meeting?”
They’re not at the current meeting, but I didn’t see any fairies at the meeting before this one, either.
The fairies are moving out, too, and their input is needed, right?
“Hah… that, the fairies said, “We’ll follow you! So take care of the rest,” and left everything else to us. They do not like troublesome things…”
What… did you say?
Are you telling me that those innocent and slightly cheeky fairies have mastered the art of throwing annoying things at others that I could never hope to achieve?
And even if this village they have been protecting for generations is about to disappear, can they throw it away without a care in the world?
I’m very jealous.
If I had the mental ability to throw at that level, I wouldn’t have gone through the hell of paperwork in the Aquamarine Kingdom. Should I consider becoming their apprentice?
Hmm?
“Those people? Don’t fairies have leadership roles?”
When you think of fairies, you think of fairy kings and fairy queens, but maybe they have a council system?
Oh, that’s not it. Come to think of it, not all fairies are here. They are the leaders of the fairies in the village, and their title would be something like village chief, not king or queen.
“I heard that there used to be a coordinator for the fairies, but one of them realized that if the dark elves were here, they should leave it to them, and from then on, the dark elves were in charge of all the details.”
So they have been entrusting everything to the village chief, a long-lived old dark elf, for so long that it has become hearsay.
If that’s the case, they could throw out the whole village move, even if it’s important.
…I’m jealous, but the level is too high, so I’ll give up on becoming an apprentice.
Even though the women and gods are already looking at me with disappointment, I feel that if I master the fairy level of throwing, it will be irreversible.
“I see. Well, please try your best.”
As soon as I stopped throwing things, I immediately felt sympathy for the village chief. It must be hard to organize not only the dark elves but also those little ones.
“Hohoho. This is a village where only peaceful time passes, so taking care of the fairies is a good stimulus. It’s not hard to do.”
Perhaps my sympathy was conveyed, the village chief replied with a gentle denial.
Come to think of it, he did say something about not much changing in the village.
Peaceful life in a village deep in the mountains, where nothing changes from day to day… may be an ideal village for those who are tired of living in the city and working in the black company.
But even this utopia will disappear.
Well, I’m not that shocked because I’m not greedy, and I prefer a comfortable luxury liner or ferry to a simple country life, but it’s heartbreaking to see the peaceful place being destroyed.
Let’s take this meeting seriously so that the residents of this village can go through it and not regret it.
＊＊＊
“I have received a notice of dismissal from the field.”
“Notice of dismissal?”
“Incompetence?”
“What a disappointing person.”
“Kyaahaha, disappointing!”
The innocent and cruel words of the fairies pierce my chest with all their might.
I don’t think they understand the meaning of the word “notice of dismissal,” but perhaps it’s a racial gift to be able to pierce the heart with just a hint of nuance.
It is said that fairies like pranks, and perhaps that is true.
However, it seems that the fairies in this world are the kind of fairies who don’t do dirty tricks, which is a bit of a relief.
Even now, the fairies are flying around the Hideaway in all directions, happily and mischievously playing with new things.
Yes, playing with the fairies is my job now.
Yesterday, I worked hard at a meeting for several reasons.
At night, the dark elves threw a welcome party for us, and I was thrilled.
Since it is a closed village, it was a simple welcome, but the dark elves and fairies dancing under the moonlight in the village square were wonderful and fantastic.
It was wonderfully fantastic, and I felt strongly that this is how fantasy should be.
After the feast, I took the Hideaway out to the square to spend the night and rest well in preparation for the next morning’s move.
I was in perfect physical condition and ready to go.
The process of moving out was not difficult; it was just getting the stuff out of the house and dismantling the house. I carried it back to the ship and repatriated the ship.
It was that easy.
The only thing that was a little difficult was the timing of the dismantling of the livestock pens and the transfer to the ship.
I was assured that the timing would be decided at the meeting and that the A-ranked adventuring party, Girasole, would be there to help with the transport.
But no.
The transport was easy because there were many high-level adventurers, and the dismantling was the next step.
The problem was discovered at the dismantling stage.
I was nervous about the work of dismantling the house, and I swung the hammer with a weak stance and was advised, “You can’t dismantle it like that; you have to use more force.”
I smiled kindly and swung the hammer with all my might. The wood broke into pieces.
There is a difference between dismantling and destroying. In order to be reused on the Dark Elf Island, the wood must be dismantled in a clean form.
At first, I could get away with a wry smile like, “Wataru, you’re overdoing it,” but I ended up destroying it over and over again.
This scene showed the effects of the pampering I had received up to that point.
Although I worked hard when I first came to this world, I have lived a lukewarm, cultured life since I acquired the luxury liner.
I was born as a useless person with only a high level of skill.
I don’t have any problems in my daily life, but when I put my mind to it and use my strength, I can’t control it at all.
Overkilling isn’t a problem when dealing with monsters, but when it comes to dismantling, it’s a big problem.
I practiced my power on a rock in a corner of the village, but the handle of the hammer broke off, wasting the tool.
Finally, Alessia-san said to me, “Wataru. The fairies are flying around, and it’s dangerous. Will you take care of them?” I was kindly asked to take care of the fairies.
Up until now, I should have been able to control my power to some extent even though my level had increased, but it seems that I lost that control because I was really lazy.
…Let’s resume the training I’ve been neglecting.
But for now… let’s deal with the fairies that are clinging to me, pulling my hair, pulling my ears, trying to stuff nuts up my nose, and trying to get into my clothes.
“Well, I think it’s time for a snack.”
“A snack? A sweet? A sweet?”
“Is it tasty?”
The fairy who had been playing with my nose and ears responded quickly.
“Yes, I have lots of tasty sweets, so call everyone.”
“Hurry up!”
“Full speed!”
“Gather around, everyone!”
“It’s time to feast!”
The fairies who had been playing with me flew around and told the fairies who were playing all over the Hideaway that it was time for a snack, and soon, they were all over the place.
They were small, so they didn’t stand out much, but there were an unexpectedly large number of fairies in this village, so it was a little scary when they gathered.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
The fairy who was trying to stuff nuts up my nose tugged at my ear, trying to tell me something.
“Over there, over there.”
I looked in the direction the fairy was pointing and saw three fairies clinging to the barriers, looking impatient and complaining about something.
I see; they’ve gone outside and can’t come in.
When I gave them permission, they smiled and came in to join the crowd.
I had taught them not to leave the ship because they could not come in… This might be difficult for fairies with a free spirit.
The easiest thing to do would be to give all the fairies a ticket or pass, allowing them to come and go as they please, but tickets and passes are too big for the fairies.
I could just give them permission again, but I shudder to think what would happen if they accidentally stepped out of the barriers during the voyage.
Hopefully, one of them will notice, but if not, they could be stranded on the open sea.
…I will discuss this with the village chief. By the way, I’ll feel safer if there’s a good countermeasure as well.
Anyway, I will probably only have to deal with the fairies during the move, so there is plenty of time.
Oh no. I should have had the snack with the three fairies locked away.
I feel a little sorry for them, but once they realized that they wouldn’t be able to eat their snack if they went outside, the fairies would have stopped being so careless.
Well, that’s okay. There will probably always be one fairy who goes outside and gets locked out again, and I’ll make that child go without a snack.
“Ship Summoning.”
Thinking of all the bad things to do, I summon a rubber boat filled with an assortment of desserts.
The fairies all shout and cling to the barriers of the rubber boat. They are too honest with their feelings, which worries me more and more.
But it’s easy to control them by giving them sweets, isn’t it?
With my permission, the fairies will charge the sweets they are interested in.
…Hmm, that’s what locusts are like, isn’t it?
A rubber boat full of sweets has been devoured.
I think the fairies are quite to the point, stuffing their mouths with sweets without looking aside as long as there is an abundance of sweets, and when there is not much left, they change their style to secure their favorite sweets and enjoy them in their favorite places.
I also envy those fairies who eat sweets while lying on the slime, like Rimu.
I wonder how it feels to lie on slime that is so soft and slippery. I also envy them for being able to play “slime knights” like in popular RPGs.
I wonder if there are giant slimes in this world? I’ll ask Alessia-san and the others later.
If there are, I am ready to go anywhere in the world. I have time to train and hone my taming skills at the same time.
Also… there’s an abundance of sweets, so I don’t mind if they eat them all, but I’m afraid they’ll get sick. I’m not sure if fairies have diabetes or not, but I don’t want it to ruin their dreams.
