Jikuu Mahou Chapter 331: Attack of the Bandits
We invited Nima-chan, who came to visit, inside Jennifer´s room.
『Nima-chan, what do you want here so late?』
「English is okay」
Nima-chan can speak English, too?
「I am very sorry, but everyone should evacuate immediately」
「Evacuation?」
Maybe she doesn't know that I got rid of the bandits yet?
「Did the bandits attack again?」
「No, this time they are other bandits」
Other bandits!? Were there still some left?
「The people who were going to pick up the caterpillar fungus in the mountains came back in a hurry earlier. According to their story, ten thousand armed bandits are on their way here」
「Ten thousand!? It's an army, isn't it?」
「....... Bandits」
As long as the self-proclaimed 『Bandits』 are here, they have no choice but to deal with them.
「What about the police and the army in Bhutan?」
「This morning, nearly a thousand bandits appeared in other places, and most of the soldiers headed to those places to crush them. Now, I think they are going to come back here, but someone has destroyed the bridge......」
Does that mean they were caught during diversionary tactics?
「Understood. But what about the people in the village? Are we going to run together?」
「No, we will stay here and fight」
「Fight!? Can everyone fight? How many? Any weapons?」
「There are about 100 people fighting in the village, there are no weapons......」
「It's reckless!」
「There is no choice. If everyone escapes they will definitely catch up. If someone wants to remain, we can't force them to go」
「What are you going to do, Nima-chan?」
「I will stay with the villagers」
「It's dangerous, let's run away together」
「I´m an unimportant royal person. I'm not going to leave the people behind.」
「Oh, royalty?」
Seriously! I had a feeling that it was different from other people, but....
「My father is the king's "cousin"」
It was serious. Although it is considerably far in the parentage, her occupation as 『Princess』 is confirmed with status.
「Th, That......」
Nancy´s mom is quite shocked to hear the story. I'm surprised, too.
It is not the different world, and it is possible to get involved in such a thing.
But what? The opponents aren't goblins or orcs, but humans.
Therefore, if I get into trouble, the damage is caused to the people in the village.
To begin with, is it okay that I who is an outsider put out a helping hand?
No, I can't abandon Nima-chan in front of my eyes!!
So what do I do? It is impossible for a Japanese who has just done business to stand out and act. I might have to pretend to evacuate once and come back on the way.
----------
An employee of the accommodation came and talked with Nima-chan.
「It seems that the car for evacuation came, so hurry!」
Jennifer-san is packing her luggage in a hurry. I also followed the instructions, took my suitcase, we were guided by Nima-chan and get in the car which was parked in front of the facility.
「I'm sorry you got involved in this uproar」
Nima-chan said so and lowered her head.
『Well then, driver, please depart』
The car, which we are on, departs.
Nima-chan watched us for a while until she confirmed that we were out of sight and ran to the place where the village people gathered.
Why would I know such a thing...... of course I have attached a [Tracking beacon] to Nima-chan.
Well, it is almost time.
『Ah, sorry driver, please stop』
『Eh? Here?』
『Sorry, I forgot something. I'm going to get off here and go back to pick it up』
『Ho, However』
『It is more important than life!』
I forced myself to stop the car.
「Hey, Seiji, why are you stopping the car in such a place?」
「Ah, Jennifer-san, I forgot something, so I'm going back to pick it up. I will chase you with another car when I picked up that something. Well, I'll be back soon. Rest assured」
「Hey! What are you talking about? No, it's dangerous!」
I ignore Jennifer-san's stillness.
『Driver, the evacuation of these two women is the top priority. Whatever they say to you, please never stop and bring them to a safe place』
The driver nods firmly and I leave the car.
「Seiji! Come back!!」
I started to run, with Jennifer-san's heartbreaking cry on my back.
----------
When I dressed as a Ninja and used [Teleportation] to the forest, a red 『Band』 was displayed on the map.
「What's this!?」
That band is spreading horizontally, not vertically. Are they going to siege the village?
No! Wrong! The band split into five, began to move in different directions, leaving one in the center and the other four going out of the detection range of the map.
What does that mean?
Could it be that the target is not just this village but also somewhere else?
That's bad. I can't protect five villages at the same time alone.
Shall I ask Aya and the other to help me? No, I can't involve them in this. I alone, I have to manage somehow......
This...... isn't it pretty risky?
