Chapter 2: Departure

“This is goodbye, then. Thank you for everything.”

Augurey was standing in front of the wagon, speaking to Ferrici. Behind her was a group of the other villagers, including the innkeeper and the people whom Siren had manipulated. Their gazes were warm.

Since we’d finished collecting all of the materials necessary for our jobs, we were headed back to the capital, and they’d come to see us off. I guess my fears that they’d chase us out had been proven unfounded. Well, that could’ve been because some of them had spoken up for us to the other villagers—maybe Ferrici’s parents or the innkeeper.

Currently present were me, Lorraine, Augurey, and Goblin. The old man and Siren were hiding in the wagon. It was especially important that the latter remained inside, because things would get pretty messy if she showed herself. We were the only ones who knew what she actually looked like, and we hadn’t exactly made it public that she was the one behind the brainwashing incident, but this was a small village. Having an unfamiliar face would only get you poked and prodded for your identity. That wouldn’t necessarily happen for Siren, since she’d pretended to be a traveling performer and had been staying at a villager’s home before the incident, but she would get questioned about why she was with us.

It went without saying that she’d used her unique ability to trick that villager into letting her stay in their home. I very much didn’t want to be there for the aftermath of that particular deception. Yep, it was definitely best for her to stay in the wagon.

As for the old man, I was fairly certain we didn’t need to worry about him anymore. That said, we still kept him restrained. Moreover, explaining to everybody we met that we weren’t abusing the elderly would get pretty tiring, so that was why he was in the wagon too.

“No, thank you,” Ferrici said. “You saved us—you don’t owe us anything.”

“Really, that’s not...”Augurey began. “Ah, I suppose it doesn’t matter now. If you ever come to the capital, pay us a visit. We’ll do our best to help you out.”

“I’ll make sure to do that,” Ferrici replied.

With that, we finished saying our goodbyes and left the village.

Incidentally, the reason we were returning to the capital with Goblin’s group was because when we’d asked them where their chief was, they’d told us “everywhere, and nowhere.”

We’d originally assumed that, after sending Goblin out as our messenger, he’d come back with a meeting location we could then head toward. However, the old man had said, “We have a number of bases of operation, but the chief is most often at our one in the capital, since he needs to coordinate everywhere else. He’s probably there right now. But even if he isn’t, it’ll be faster if we wait for him to come to us, instead of going to him.” So that was that—we would go to the capital and then send Goblin to their base there.
