Capítulo 79: Update On Artemis Familia!
Chapter 79
A small village not far away from Orario,
The sky was clear blue, and green forests added vitality to the land. There was an unmistakable sound of a stream near the village.
This scenery made the village look like a beautiful territory.
But in such natural scenery, cries of monsters suddenly disrupted the atmosphere.
"GRAH!!!"
The forest fell silent as the last scream of the monster reverberated.
A group of beautiful girls had just finished hunting monsters. It was the Artemis familia.
But, their work isn't done yet. After the corpse disintegrated, the girls collected the magic stone and dropped items such as claws, teeth, or fur.
For a familia like them, who mainly hunts outside of Orario, magic stones and drop items from wild monsters are essential sources of income.
They can replenish and repair their weapon and supplies by selling these items in a nearby village or town.
In some cases, the goddess of their familia also donates a certain amount to families affected by the monsters. The central policy of their familia is to avoid excess material desires.
Previously, Artemis fought alongside her familia, making them helpless. They didn't want their goddess to be in any danger.
"It's okay, Artemis-sama! Leave the corpse of the monster to us!" Rethusa persuaded her goddess. She didn't want their goddess to sully her hands.
"That's right! As the goddess of our familia, please put on a sacred expression, Artemis-sama!" The half-elf Lante gave her opinion.
"..." Artemis was speechless after hearing this.
She felt her children didn't want her to do such a trivial thing.
After all, this is just a job to expel the monsters around the village. Artemis familia took this task as a kindness to the villagers.
Such a job is almost simple and effortless for their familia, but the kind goddess still helped the villagers.
"Artemis-sama, the nearby monsters have been cleaned up. So, I don't think they can cause harm to the nearby villages for the time being…." After finishing her work, Rethusa reported.
"I understand, Rethusa. Thank you for your hard work." Artemis smiled and praised Rethusa.
Rethusa is one of Artemis' most trusted familia members and also the head of the familia.
"It's not hard work at this level, Artemis-sama. I'm glad to be of service to you." Rethusa was happy to hear her goddess's praise.
"Then, tell everyone to come back. After a short rest in the Carne Village, we are ready to return to Orario." Artemis ordered her familia members.
There was a squeaking and chirping sound, and a blue-feathered bird landed on Artemis' finger.
After feeling the intimacy shown by the wild bird, the blue-haired goddess looked around her surrounding with a slight smile.
A month ago, the Artemis familia accepted a request from the adventurer guild as usual and left the city.
After a month, they have completed the commission, and it is time to return to Orario.
Their location is not too far from Orario, and it's still daylight now.
If the Artemis familia hurry with all their strength, they might reach Orario in the evening.
Rethusa naturally followed her goddess's instruction, asked everyone to gather, and then walked to the nearby village with the spoils.
Previously, 'Carne Village' requested Artemis familia to clear the monsters nearby.
It is a village built along a trickling river on the edge of the verdant forest.
Because the distance between this village and Orario is relatively close. Therefore, many travelers visit this place, making it lively and prosperous.
Many business people and travelers heading to Orario will choose to settle here temporarily.
The roadway was paved with flagstones for the ease of transportation of carriages.
Although it is said to be a village, it occupies a large area, but not enough to be called a town.
The buildings were made of stone, and there were many hotels and taverns in the village. Some windmills turn alongside the breeze.
"Ah, look!" Suddenly someone noticed the arrival of Artemis familia.
"That is–!"
"It's goddess Artemis and her familia!"
After entering the village, the crowd soon surrounded Artemis's familia.
With Artemis and Rethusa walking at the front, a human wall formed on both sides of the way. The number of people is already on the scale of a small festival, welcoming heroes' triumphs.
Since Artemis and her familia helped clear out the nearby monsters, they were no different from heroes in the heart of the villagers.
The girls in Artemis familia have become accustomed to such kind of thing.
Just like Artemis familia, some factions in Orario also focus on eliminating the monsters running rampant outside Orario.
Therefore, helping the residents of the villages and towns to clean up the monster affecting their livelihood is common for the Artemis familia.
"Oh, goddess Artemis! Do you need anything? I will do my best to help you." The village chief hurriedly asked.
"Well, we need to sell some items and replenish our supplies. We won't stay here for long."
Artemis appeared in front of the village chief and communicated with him.
The 'drop items' are not useless to the villagers because merchants regularly come in and out of the village. So, they can take these precious items to the merchants and exchange them for some essential goods.
The village chief will not refuse such loss-free business, but he feels complicated mixing gratitude with business.
He wanted to give something back to Artemis and her familia as thanks for removing the threat of the monsters to their village, but the goddess rejected him.
The reason for rejection is that they're leaving soon.
While the village chief was preparing the necessary supplies, Artemis familia decided to stay in the village to rest temporarily.
The village chief bowed to the goddess and vowed to ensure that all preparations would be completed soon. Then, he ordered the people around him to make arrangements and dispersed the nearby crowd.
The village chief didn't know whether the blue-haired goddess liked being watched by so many people, so he dispersed the onlookers. He thought it was rude for onlookers to keep staring at the goddess.
Artemis's calm expression didn't fluctuate after seeing the actions of the village chief.
Amid the merchants' shouts, Artemis gave her group instructions so they could relax temporarily.
