White Necromancer – C8

I was called to the village mayor’s house today. It wasn’t the mayor who called me. The village mayor’s son, Cordo.

Cordo is a 16-year-old young man with short, trimmed brown hair and a large body. Being trained by his father, Mayor Billy, he has a beginner’s skill as a swordfighter.

However, because of his arrogant attitude, he tends to be disliked by people.

“This meeting in being held regarding the security of the harvest festival.”

Cordo looks over the participants surrounding the table. The participants are Dolly, the Gran twin brothers, me, Gilly and Mia.

Dolly and Gran are brown-haired brothers, both fourteen years old. They want to be adventurers in the future, they are disciples of the village Mayor Billy as swordfighters. They often hang out with Cordo because they have the same sword master.

This security group was founded by Cordo. In the village, this is treated as child’s play.
I, Gilly, and Mia are treated as apprentices with the possibility of having a bigger piece of the pie in the future, though we don’t want to be there in the first place…

“Now, my assistant , Alex. Explain your security plan to everyone.”

“Huh……?”

It was a sudden and unreasonable request considering that I was not informed that I would need to make a plan and oh yeah. When did I become Cordo’s assistant?

“There’s a village chief and a wise man in the village, so there’s no problem. William is patrolling outside the village every day, so neither monsters nor beasts come near. I really have nothing to add.”

“Those three are crazy. I can’t imagine facing a demon.”

Dolly and Gran talk with a grin. Certainly, those three people are not originally from a small village. It seems that they were was active as adventurers in the past.

However, it seems that Cordo doesn’t like our attitude. He hits the table.

“Think seriously! This is an opportunity to showcase our activities!”

Cordo’s words made me roll my eyes and the others have the same reaction. Honestly, Cordo is the only one who is enthusiastic about the activities of the security group.

And the gathering continues until Cordo is satisfied. The eyes of everyone who wants to go home early naturally gather at me. I sighed and took out a small bag from my bag.

“What is that?”

Cordo looks suspiciously at the bag placed on the table.

“This is a mephitis receptacle .”

“What is that?”

Hm?

Everyone was surprised at Cordo’s lack of knowledge. Every villager knows of mephitis receptacles. It is an essential item when walking outside the village. As expected, I didn’t believe Cordo would think of this.

However, Cordo’s face suspicious.. He’s not in a bad mood yet so let’s explain it tohim quickly.

“A mephitis receptacle is a bag that gives off a smell that monsters don’t like. With this, monsters shouldn’t come near.”

If you put this around the village, the monsters will not come to the village. Why don’t we share this on the day of the harvest festival?”

“Hmm, I see.”

Cordo crosses his arms. However, his face is not yet convinced. He probably doesn’t like the boring lack of weaponry. So I lifted the bag and handed it to Cordo.

“Hmm? Is this… dragon skin!?”

“Yes, that embroidery is a dragon.”

Cordo takes a closer look at the mephitis receptacle he holds. There is an embroidery that symbolizes the dragon. Checking the embroidery, Cordo’s mouth is hanging open.

“It’s famous that Cordo loves dragons. I think everyone in the village who sees this will notice the activities of the security group.”

“… Surely this will appeal to the people in the name of safety! After all, what is safer than dragon killing!?”

Cordo makes a happy face. I am happy to be able to connect myself with a dragon. The contents are made by my grandfather, but I prepared the bag. Even if this happened, it was worth making it for all those nights. I’m surprised yet happy that this great time to show them off came up.

“Okay, then I’ll give this out on the day! I’ll leave the preparation to Alex!”

“Yes! I will help you too!”

“Oh, then, me too!”

It seems that Mia and Gilly will also help. It seems that three people can prepare the number immediately. Gilly seems to be fixing to spend time with Mia, so I’m afraid how useful it is.

“Then, let’s break up today! Let’s get together at my house at the morning on that day!”

Cordo declares heroically, for some reason putting his foot on the tanle, However, we don’t say anything. We just quietly leave the house of Mayor Billy.
