Chapter 6: Commissions and Plush Dumplings

"What is a memory swallower!" the young man looked terrified. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"......," Canette thought for a moment, holding her chin.

"Uh...... Master?" The young man thought that the master had not heard, and hurriedly asked.

"It's a monster that can eat your memories!" Canette immediately shouted, "Well, it's terrifying!"

In fact, there really is such a monster. It's just that Canette just remembered what this monster looked like.

"There are such terrible monsters around the village...... No wonder my memories of the moment before I fainted are gone. The young man seemed to be really frightened, and he was a little flustered: "So, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, I've driven the Memory Eater away. Feeling a little embarrassed, Canette had to cough and forcibly lie: "Don't worry about it coming back." ”

"That's right...... That's good. As if he was reassuring to breathe, the young man still looked a little nervous: "Anyway, let's go back to the village." Find the village chief, he can explain it to you. ”

"Hmm...... Good. He hesitated, but Carnet finally agreed to the young man's request.

So, he patted Al on the back and led her to the village.

Ten minutes later.

The village chief's house.

Not only the village chief was here, but also the young man's father

"I see. You saved this kid's life......" The old man was full of shame: "Thank you so much." As for that piece of land, I actually scared you away by asking for more compensation...... I'm so sorry. Come, here's your money bag. Saving my son is already the biggest compensation. ”

"That's good. Carnett was still a little guilty: Oh my mother, I feel so guilty......

Sure enough, let's try to solve the commission as much as possible. This will make your conscience feel better.

Keeping this in mind, Canette hurriedly began to inquire about the contents of the commission. However, I didn't expect all this to be related to the pumpkin patch.

In the village chief's explanation, Canette also understands why the village chief called the young man's father in the first place: they heard rumors that Jack's jack-o-lantern can ward off evil spirits, so they plan to plant some to help resist the harm of evil spirits.

So, these jack-o-lanterns aren't meant to be sold as pets at all.

Rather, it is intended to be a ward off evil spirits...... This was something Canette didn't expect.

The reason is simple. Jack-o'-lanterns don't ward off evil spirits at all.

If you want to say that it can attract evil spirits, it's almost the same (in fact, it can't).

"I'm glad the witcher came...... That way, you don't have to pin your hopes on jack-o'-lanterns. The village chief looked like he had found a savior in the apocalypse: "This is great......"

"Uh...... I did my best. "Canette wasn't going to overdo it.

"Actually, everything was caused by a magic mirror. But in fact, the problems that I want to entrust you with are not in my village. The village chief said this, a little worried: "Is it ...... Neighboring villages. Demon Hunter, you may have passed by too, right?"

"Ah, that big village. Remembering that there was a much larger village nearby, Canette nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, that's easy to say. Actually, you'll have to go to a family there...... You go to the village and ask which house is haunted, and that's it. The village chief was silent for a moment, and his expression seemed to be a little afraid: "I and that family are ...... Well...... It's a buddy. Now that I see the witcher, of course I have to inform him. ”

It looks like it's definitely not just friends...... The witcher observed the village chief's thoughts and fell silent.

I don't want to say the reason, I'm afraid it is......

............

Well, can't guess. It can only be said that there is something else hidden.

"But I don't quite understand that. Canette thought for a moment, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Ah, you ask. The village chief seemed to be prepared: he knew that the witcher would ask questions.

"Actually, it's nothing, I just think it's a little weird. Coughing, Canette said slowly, "I remember the young man saying that there was something wrong with this village...... How did it become a problem for another village?"

"Also, I didn't see jack-o'-lantern in that village. After a slight pause, Canette asked his second question: "Is it the jack-o'-lantern that your village grows...... Why not another village?"

"That...... I think I didn't make it clear, so you misheard. The young man hurriedly replied, "I said that our village is in trouble, but I didn't say which village." Because the relationship between the two villages is very good, I didn't say too much detail. ”

"You see, that's it. We also planted the jack-o'-lantern because the family is good at growing these kinds of magical plants. For example, the dumplings sold by Aya who set up a stall outside had tried to grow them in his family before. The village chief smiled and explained.

"What, really?" Canette was stunned for a moment, "Is it really planted?"

You're great!

Canette was amazed.

After all, it is well known that only a few areas can grow gnocchi. And the place must be beautiful and free of pollution.

Or if there is a place where Aiya lives in groups or for a long time, it is also possible.

"Of course it didn't grow. The man seemed to be very helpless: "Sure enough, this kind of thing is difficult to grow." ”

Well, as I thought...... The man shook his head and stood up, and took his leave. He decided that since he was going to take over the commission, he would go to the village: after all, the employer was not here.

He pondered about how much he would earn from the commission.

It seems that it will be quite impressive.

However, when he went out, he found that Aya, who was setting up a stall, had yawned and fell asleep. He also had a lollipop in his hand.

The dumplings in the basket all jumped out and began to roll and jump around. After a while, it ran out of "Bo Li".

Yes...... Carnett witnessed the catastrophe and felt a wave of sympathy: what a loss.

But he was thinking too much. Soon, the dumplings ran back on their own, only beating nearby.

It seems that something is not quite right in the ball. It was a ball with animal ears.

And it's fluffy, it's still white.

What the hell is this...... Suspicious, Canette jumped down from Al, who had just wanted to climb up, and approached the ball to observe: it was so special, it was actually hairy.

And it looks cute too.

It's okay to touch it a little...... Looking around, and when she made sure that no one was paying attention, Canette curiously picked it up and pinched it to test her touch: Oh, it was really comfortable.

The dango was bouncing and screaming with joy.

So why does this thing have hair and ears......
