Jikuu Mahou chapter 329: Northern Mountain Bandits
「Kyaa!! What a terrible sight!」
As soon as we arrived at school, Nancy′s mom screamed. Several adults who are supposed to be teachers are injured, and some children are also injured.
Especially, there is a man with a severe injury, and he doesn't move as if he is dead.
That man is in danger.
「Jennifer-san, it's dangerous. Please come down」
Lily is wary of her surroundings while protecting Jennifer-san. Is this person an escort after all?
I approach the person who is seriously injured while also be wary of the vicinity.
『Are you okay?』
There is no reply, very dangerous. I can not use magic in public, but I can't abandon this person.
I used [Recovery magic] so as not to be noticed as much as possible. The scratches in the range that can be seen from the outside have the bleeding suppressed a little and priority is given to internal organs damage.
However, this scar is caused by a gun. Moreover, several hits. Why do bandits do this?
At that moment, Nima-chan brought the vigilante people, and so the treatment of the injured people began.
I leave the treatment to them and return to the village chief and Nancy′s mom.
「Are those who are injured safe?」
Nancy′s mom is anxious.
「I think they are fine」
「Well, I hope so....... 」
First of all, I need to gather information.
『Village chief, what's this all about? Why would the bandits do this?』
The village chief started talking with a shabby face.
『At first it was a [Caterpillar fungus]』
【Caterpillar fungus】? Ah, that herbal medicine.......
『What happened to the 【Caterpillar fungus】? 』
『The 【Caterpillar fungus】can be taken from the northernmost mountain. For that, some guys illegally took over the border....... and the police started to crack down on them. To oppose it, those fellows started to arm themselves and eventually began to attack villages...... 』
I see....... It's because of them that the mine of [Nullpo Stones] is occupied.
「Jennifer-san, this place is dangerous. Let us return to a safe place」
Lily-san proposes to evacuate. As expected of Lily-san, she had to think about the safety of Jennifer-san first.
「Well, leave the village to the village people and let us evacuate」
「Well, let's do that」
If it's decided, I will speak to the village chief.
『Village chief, I am sorry but we will evacuate』
『That's right, we can't afford to put a customer in danger. So let me introduce you to Nima』
We were guided by Nima-chan and rushed to the accommodation.
----------
『The two women, please use this room and the man that room here. Well then, I will return to everyone. Never leave the rooms until safety is confirmed』
Nima-chan is a solid girl. Maybe the grandchild of the village chief?
I entered the assigned room and locked it from the inside. Jennifer and Lily-san have been attached with a [Tracking beacon] in advance, so I will know if danger comes close. Now I am worried about the people in the village.
I changed to my usual ninja outfit and used [Teleportation] to the school.
----------
The injured have already been carried and collected in the nearby temple. As the evening was approaching, I hid my figure using [Nightshade] and went to see the injured people.
The person who was the most seriously injured seems to have been okay, but he hadn't regained his consciousness yet. According to the story that I was eavesdropping, it seems that the children were attacked and he protected them with his own body which made him get injured. He seems to be a respectable person.
The children who were sleeping after being injured are cured with [Recovery magic] by me. They will be surprised later, but it can't be helped, as I can't bear to see the children hurt.
A red dot appeared on the map when I finished treating the children.
They seemed to have appeared again without bands.
I guess I'm going to peek a little.
----------
In the forest near the school. Two bandits were hiding holding a gun.
『Look, there's nobody in the village observing us!』
It's not Dzongkha, it's words of the neighboring country. As expected those guys are from another country.
『Don't say such a thing, it's useless because the boss says to bring another girl back』
Another woman?? No way!! Were the women already taken away!?
I must hurry!!
『『Ugyaa!!』』
I made the bandits collapse by using 【Blitz】, took their weapons and tied them up with a rope.
『Hey, guys, wake up』
I splash water and forcibly wake them up with the magic of 【Wake up】.
『Wh, What, you!』
『Ni, Ninja...... 』
『Hurry up and tell me where your hideout is!』
Bumb, Bumb!
『Hii!! Hi, hideout...... not a problem. Only life is lazy～』
It was easy as I threatened them with【Blitz】.
『Relax, take a rest』
Bumb, Bumb.
『『Gyaーーーー!!』』
They had a good night's sleep and I headed for their hideout's location that they had given me.
