He's dead.
Virum mutters as he looks down at the dead body of the raider.
I can't sense any emotion in his voice.
I'm sure Virmu was scared to death. I like that look.
Radia, who has moved on before I knew it, makes a tea break.
Virum's thorns disappear from his expression, perhaps in response to Radia's voice.
''It doesn't matter what others think of me. If that's what my sister Dia thinks, that's fine. Or rather, she wouldn't give her family that look.
”Oh, wow, that's so nice of you to say.
The two of them talk to each other with expressions on their faces.
Since it was a complete surprise this time, there is little room to hide, so they finish the process quickly.
All that is left is the carriage in which the two girls were captured.
The two captives were taken out of the carriage, but the cow man's girl seemed to be debilitated.
The elven girl was not about to leave the side of the oxen girl and was wary of Virum, but she suddenly noticed that there were no mercenaries around.
'If it's them, they're already gone. I'm sorry for tricking you, even though it was necessary. For now, I'll release them from their restraints, so please don't freak out, okay?
The elven girl gives a small nod while looking at him with suspicion.
Seeing this, Virum asks Radia to release the restraints.
When Radia lightly touched the part of the girls that was restraining them, the restraints crumbled down with a polo.
The elven girl checks the condition of the joint while spinning it around.
Judging that there is no sign of a rampage, Virum turns his attention to the cowpeople girl.
Her restraints have been released, but she seems to have difficulty standing on her own due to her weakness.
Virum looks at the debilitated girl.
She must have been violated by the raiders, with bruises left all over her body.
I'm not sure if it's because they were only given the minimum amount of food they needed to eat, or if their physical strength has declined significantly.
It's what he did to me. He told me that I was a defective cowhuman. I'm just a little bit different from the rest of the bovine race,
After hesitating for a bit, Wyrm picked up the debilitated cow race girl in his arms.
''...I'm going to take her to the village. You'll be restricted in many ways, but it's better than being fed to demons in a place like this. And I'm gonna need you to come with me. No refusal. If you don't like it, I will kill you right here.
Oh... Okay, okay.
The elf, who received a slightly murderous gaze, nodded with a coy smile, as if her body shook with a jolt.
You're not going to be able to get rid of it,” he said, ”but you're going to have to take care of the corpse and the child. I'll take this kid and go home first. It's a bit dangerous as it is.
I didn't expect to see you show interest in anything other than spirits. It's very unusual. I'm aware of that. I know that.
'Yes, sir! Spirit!
The elf girl seems nervous in a different way.
It's as if she's encountering an existence that would normally be unreachable and longed for.
After finishing the process without any problems, Radia held the elven girl under her arm and ran after Virum and the others who returned earlier.

Welcome back, Vilm... and what happened to her?
I'm back, Sister Hinori. I'll explain later, but I want you to report to the Queen (Satya) that the intruders have been eliminated and that we have protected the elves and the cattlemen's child. This one in particular is very weak and will be treated in my bed. The elf child will be brought in later by Sister Dear.
Upon returning to the village, Vilm asks Hinori, who welcomes him back, to report to the Queen (Satya).
Normally, Virum would report to the queen himself, but he does so in order to prioritize the treatment of the girl who is debilitated in his arms.
He puts the girl to sleep on a bed made of wood and demon materials that he usually uses to sleep on.
Next, I touch the girl's forehead and belly and focus my attention on the girl's forehead and belly.
In order to examine the quality and circulation path of the magic power.
After finishing the confirmation, Vilm slowly pours his own magic power, which was converted to match her, into the girl.
This is to increase the girl's self-healing power.
Originally, the transfer of magical power that would be repulsive to each other if they were not of the same quality of magical power.
However, for Virum, who has lived in contact with many spirits and fairies since he was a child and has come into contact with a wide variety of magical powers, it was easy to convert the quality of magical power and transfer it to the other party.
Next, the girl's face, which was pale, grew redder and redder.
After sending a certain amount of magic power, Virum decided to take a breath.
''...So that's how it is. Well, for the time being, this won't be a debilitating death, right?
A girl from the Cow People tribe who sleeps with a calm expression, unlike the one I saw earlier.
(I couldn't help but think of her as myself.... Defective as a race, huh?)
