10-11 Turmoil After All

Right then it was about lunchtime .

“Alright, let me take care of the lunch . ”

Gloria Ohlstat said and invited Jin’s group for lunch . She also invited Duston, but he refused, saying he had a lunch box his wife had made .

“When I was a child, I often went to play at Duston’s workplace and watch him make cutlery . ”

Apparently by that time already she was a pitiable beauty .

They stopped by Gloria’s house to drop off her sword and then headed to the main street . The large sun dial showed that it was about 11 . 45 . The foot traffic had increased compared to the morning .

“I’ve got a preferred restaurant . ”

Gloria said as took the lead of Jin’s group .

“Here it is . ”

The restaurant was on the main street little ways back towards the gate Jin and the others had come from .

Its sign had ‘Crystal Restaurant’ written on it, and while it appeared cramped the inside atmosphere was good .

Since the time was still a bit before 12 o’clock there weren’t many customers either .

“Welcome, Ohlstat-sama . ”

Like to a regular customer, the waitress greeted her in a friendly tone .

“Hey, Feo . I brought company with me today . Whatever you recommend for four, please . ”

“As you wish . ”

The waitress called Feo gave a bow and went to the kitchen to convey the order .

“The lunch here is famously good . Off-duty soldiers and knights also come here often . ”

Gloria explained .

“Up until the other day there were continuous battles around Tetrada west of here, but it seems to have stopped now . Yesterday a post horse arrived . It seems that Egelia Kingdom had fought with Celuroa Kingdom but it also seems to have come to an end . That’s news that came by pigeon the day before yesterday . ”

“Is it alright to tell us something like that?”

“Eh, it’s fine . You must be worried about the situation of the countries too? I thought I’d tell you as part of my thanks for making the sword for me . ”

“Why, thank you very much . ”

It was news he was already familiar with, but since she had kindly told him Jin thanked her .

“Sorry to have kept you waiting . ”

The food was brought in quite fast .

“They came up with this idea to reduce the types of foods in exchange for careful selection of flavors and reduced cooking time . ”

Gloria explained . To put it simply, it was a set meal that changed every day, but reaching that idea in this world could be valued highly . And just as she explained, the taste was rather good too .

The food was freshly baked bread, vegetable soup, dried fish stew, and grilled deer meat . In addition they had Appleles .

It wasn’t high cuisine, but being familiar and cheap it was a menu both commoners and lesser nobles could enjoy .

Incidentally, Jin was interested in the bread . It wasn’t pure white, but it wasn’t whole grain bread either . To be frank, it was exactly the same bread that was eaten in Kaina Village .

“This bread…”

Jin started to say, then Gloria began explaining with an understanding look on her face .

“Ah, it’s delicious, right? It’s become popular lately . It’s made out of wheat flour a rapidly growing company called Raglan Firm is selling . ”

I thought so, Jin thought . He felt real happiness being of use to society like this .

Hannah wanted to say something, but seemed to be engrossed in the dried fish stew .

“You’re very knowledgeable, aren’t you . ”

Jin said, thinking that she was surprisingly well-informed about things despite being a knight .

“What, it’s just that the owner’s wife is my childhood friend . ”

Gloria replied . I see, Jin thought after hearing that .

Tea was brought in after lunch .

“So, about the compensation for the sword . ”

Before drinking the tea Gloria spoke .

“How much would you like me to pay? Name your price, is what I’d like to say but what I can pay has limits…”

Jin turned to Gloria and replied,

“Since the materials didn’t cost anything, it’s fine if you just pay whatever you think the sword is worth . ”

Jin honestly didn’t know the market prices of swords and such .

But Gloria muttered that that’s what troubles her the most, and she began pondering . Before long she raised her head as if having come to a decision and took a tiny leather bag from the leather purse on her waist and placed it in front of Jin .

“That’s all I’ve got on hand . ”

“Eh?”

Slightly confused, Jin checked the contents of the bag, and inside it there were seven gold coins and 15 silver coins . That was 71,500 Torr . That was about 715,000 yen .

“This is too much . ”

Jin said, but Gloria replied without hesitation that even 100,000 Torr wouldn’t be enough for the sword and that haggling would be blasphemous .

Jin felt a little uncomfortable, but then thought of a good line for persuasion .

“For craftsmen as long as what they’ve made is appreciated and taken good care of, it would be fine to even give the product away for free . So I’ll take just this and let’s settle it with that . ”

Jin said and took two gold coins out of the bag, then returned the rest to Gloria .

“Take good care of it, or should I say that I’m just happy that I could help . ”

Gloria then turned to Jin who said all that, replied with ‘I swear’, and lowered her head .

Once they had drunk the tea that had cooled down a little, the outside became noisy .

“Hm? What’s going on?”

Before Gloria could finish talking, there was a sound of something breaking and people screaming .

This is no trivial matter, Gloria said and rushed outside . There were knights near the area . Incidentally, the bill appeared to go on her tab .

Jin’s group also followed outside to see . Then .

“…Golems?”

“I recognize those . They’re the old type golems of the Unifiers . ”

There were three old type golems that had become the base for Gon and Gen, and they were rampaging on the main street .

“What is this!?”

Gloria asked a knight who was next to her .

“Ah, Glorisama . I–I don’t know very well myself, but what I can say is that at 12 o’clock those three came out of a wagon and began acting violently . ”

Indeed, ahead of the road there was a half-destroyed wagon with three racks that had fallen over .

“Can’t you stop them!?”

“N–no . Our swords can’t make a dent on them . We’ve requested the magi knight troops, but as of yet…”

“This isn’t the time to be talking about that!”

Gloria turned to the direction of the three golems . They had begun destroying the stores along the road . People were running about trying to escape .

A crowd of people rushed out of the destroyed stores . There were also people who turned back when they saw the golems .

Among them was a small child who seemed to have been separated from their parent . The child accidentally fell over in front of the golem .

“That’s bad!”

Without any hesitation, the golem seemed about to trample over the child .

“Reiko! Save that child!”

“Yes . ”

Jin ordered . Reiko replied and instantly moved .

Jin’s order was to ‘Save’ . To save the child just holding them in her arms and moving away would work, but at this time it would be difficult .

If Reiko was to quickly grab them and move, the child’s delicate body probably couldn’t handle the acceleration . After reaching that conclusion, the action Reiko took was being the shield for the child .

Reiko went on her hands and knees and covered the child to protect them . Then the golem’s foot swooped down on her .

Without time to be doubtful of Reiko who moved there in an instant, the people present saw the golem’s foot land on Reiko who was covering the small child .

Several women closed their eyes as they couldn’t bear to watch Reiko and the child who were about to be crushed in a moment .

But Reiko’s body wasn’t so roughly made as to be crushed by a golem like that .

“Ooh!?”

The eyes of Gloria who hadn’t closed them became wide .

Reiko who took the golem’s foot with her back was undaunted .

“[Wind Blow] . ”

Then the wind magic spell Elsa cast exploded . Since the golem had raised one of its legs it was easily overturned .

Reiko used the chance to take the child in her arms and got up slowly . She then ran back over to where Jin’s group was .

“Father, the child is safe . ”

Jin patted the head of Reiko who had carried back the child who was on the point of tears and praised her .

“Well done, Reiko . Your decision-making was good too . ”

“Reiko onee-chan, coo~ol!”

Even Hannah praised her, and Reiko smiled broadly . Since the child had scraped their knee, Elsa used healing magic .

“[Heal] . ”

The bleeding stopped, and the child finally stopped crying .

“Okay, you’re fine now . Does it hurt anywhere else?”

“…No . ”

That’s good, Elsa said and returned her focus to the golems .

“[Dig] . ”

Jin used the earth type magic [Dig] to make the golems fall into a pitfall and sealed their movements .

If Reiko used violence this could be quickly settled, but since he wanted to avoid being conspicuous he had Reiko move to protect the surrounding people .

“[Standstill] . ”

Jin then turned off a golem whose movements were sealed . In truth, the SP who were hidden using [Stealth] had also secretly provided support .

Jin himself was moving while protected by a [Barrier] .

Two golems were deactivated, and one remained . At that moment .

“[Flame Lance] . ”

Fire magic exploded and the remaining golem was blown away .
