The village of mummies

 

 

1

 

A stone wall that is about 30 cm thick had extended through several tens of meters in a starved land.

Its height is about 1 meter.

 

And the ones who are fiddling bows and arrows with their bodies over that wall was a soldier.

It is an unlucky man sent to Moor’s fortress.

There is his captain inside the cabin behind him, but he is probably taking a nap as usual.

 

‘I just hope the Difrentes come quickly’, the soldier thought.

 

Going against a vampire with just the two of them, is honestly, difficult.

They always come from the sky alone, but it is difficult to fight a good fight even with two people.

The time that the vampires attack is during the night.

And, humans are weak during the night, and unable to fly.

 

The soldier readied his arrow.

 

He aimed up to the cloudy sky and a rain drop fell.

 

(Damn it, it’s gonna rain)

 

The soldier who aimed his arrow to the left suddenly jumped back.

There were huge black wings floating in the sky.

It was lying on its side in the air although there no place to even stand, and looked like it was having fun while looking at the man.

 

“V-V-Vampire〜〜!!”

 

The soldier panicked and pulled the string of his bow.

 

The female vampire nimbly turned.

 

She’s fast.

 

Just when the soldier finished setting his bow and arrow, the vampire was already in front of his face.

Warm breath landed on his cheek.

 

“You, you’re tonight’s prey.”

 

She laughed out after declaring, and flew up to the sky.

 

(D-Don’t mess around with me!!)

 

The soldier shot off two, three arrows while shivering.

However, the vampire had already flown high up the cloudy sky, and was outside his range.

The sky is covered by rain clouds.

 

The gentle hill was showered in the rain.

The road was terribly muddy.

It suddenly rained when there was only one hill before Moor’s village.

 

Hiroto and Souichirou followed the knight who was assigned to guide them and ran under the shelter of a huge tree.

 

“Is there no umbrella?”

 

Souichirou asked.

 

“Acting like a King now huh? Don’t ask too much.”

 

The knight replied coldly.

 

 

I’m pretty sure he’s thinking inwardly, ‘why the heck do I need guide these guys to the village’.

 

Hiroto looked up to the sky.

He felt like his gaze would get swallowed by that gray colored sight.

 

“This is the worst.”

 

Souichirou complained.

 

They have walked continuously from the town of Solum.

It seems like only knights, the butler, and the castle lord can ride on a horse.

 

Thanks to that, I guessed a lot about the Hybride Kingdom.

 

Up until about 50 years ago, this country was a country only for elves and humans.

However, Hybride Kingdom’s population was greatly reduced by a plague.

There were even towns who have lost half of their populations.

Because the population decreased too much, the towns themselves could not be managed properly.

 

It’s probably the same as the bubonic plague that attacked the towns in Europe.

Even if they wished to send them off with a funeral, the most important priests do not exist.

Even if they want to repair their tools, the blacksmiths have died.

Even if they wanted to hire soldiers to protect the town, there were no men who can become soldiers in the fortress.

Even if they wanted to carry things from town to town, there was no one who would carry them.

The decrement of population froze the functions of the town that they took for granted.

 

The situation became so severe that it was impossible to manage the towns with only humans.

At that time, a certain Difrente was summoned, introduced a system that employs other races called Ibrid System, and overcame the difficulty by introducing other races like the skeleton clan to the towns.

Ever since the other races have lived in the towns, the population increased, and the towns regained their functions.

 

Since then, it was said that if there were problems that the residents of the Kingdom cannot solve, people would ask the priests and bishops of the church of spirits to summon Difrentes.

 

Difrenteーーfrankly speaking, a helper from a different world.

 

However, recently, it seems like there are many occasions that they are summoned to push problems onto them.

Along that, it is said that unreliable Difrentes have come in masse.

Thanks to them, the popularity of Difrentes have sharply fallen.

 

“It’s also my first time seeing a Difrente, but you don’t look like you’re something. You even look somewhat useless.”

 

The knight looked at the two and laughed.

 

“Well, just do your best. The vampire clan would only suck your blood. As long as you don’t die from a shock, you’ll survive.”

“There were survivors?”

 

Hiroto asked.

 

“Just recently, that guy in Moor Village was attacked.”

 

The knight said and told them about the recent incident.
