After dealing with those guys, Moen returned to the village carrying several boxes containing valuable valuables. Such spoils were one of the sources of income for missions.
Of course, Mo En also brought down several leaders from that bandit den. He was meticulous in his work, making sure people could see the results after he finished. Since the bandit den was deep in the mountains, the villagers might not have the courage to investigate, so he brought them out.
"Thump."
He threw the heads of several bandit leaders directly to the ground, and then handed the list to the village chief, who took it with trepidation.
He was genuinely frightened. This child, who had been smiling warmly and sunnyly, suddenly unleashed a thunderous attack!
These bandits could have been arrested and imprisoned, but this child went so far as to use extreme violence, not that it was impossible.
"That's quite a contrast, isn't it?"
Moen noticed the village chief's changed expression and asked with a smile.
"Well, this is fine too, it saves trouble."
The village chief's forehead broke out in a sweat when he was asked the question. He hesitated for a moment, then gave an answer that he agreed with.
"That's right, it's more convenient. Waiting for people to come and arrest them is too time-consuming."
Moen nodded seriously. This was the reason he was so ruthless. Perhaps some of them didn't deserve to die, but since they had already become bandits, there was no point in talking about it.
"That's how it should be, that's how it should be!"
The village chief signed the form and earnestly agreed.
He was only slightly frightened by the scene at first, but in reality, he had no sympathy for these bandits at all. They were scum who killed and robbed, and they should all be killed!
"This is the reward for this mission, Mr. Moen. Would you like to take it now, or wait until the next one?"
The village chief had already prepared the payment for the task and showed no intention of delaying payment. This middle-aged man with a weathered face was quite reliable, as evidenced by his actions regarding Juvia.
Let's go together.
Moen refused to keep the loot and left it at the village chief's house. He didn't leave it with Juvia because he was afraid that the wealth might tempt people and someone might take the risk. It was safer to leave it with the village chief.
Although the village chief was apprehensive, he still agreed. He couldn't very well let Moen carry a bunch of stuff to help them fight monsters.
"What kind of magical beast is that?"
Before leaving, Moen casually asked a question.
Then, sure enough, I saw the village chief with a blank expression on his face.
"I don't know, all I know is that it's a humanoid monster, very big, with sharp claws, and it likes to eat meat. Many people have died inside it, and their corpses have been ravaged by that thing."
The village chief spoke of the limited information he knew, and how many lives had been lost in the process of smuggling it out. They had only resorted to hiring a mage as a last resort.
"learn."
Moen nodded, left the village, and continued his search for the magical beast.
When he returned, he made a point of seeing Juvia, saying a few words to the little girl and calming her down. In the two days he was away, the girl had clearly started to get emotional again, because the rain in the village had gotten heavier.
Upon seeing Moen and being bathed in his sunlight, Juvia felt some of the gloom in his heart dissipate, and the rain clouds above the village seemed to thin out a bit.
The feeling of real-time feedback is quite fun.
Well, of course, this isn't fun for Juvia, so we need to find a way to help her solve this problem as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once we return to Fairy Tail, it won't be good if it rains every day around the guild; it might even flood.
As Moen pondered this, he entered the woods. When he emerged again, he was carrying a wolf's head.
"Bad luck, it's nothing."
Muttering to himself, Mo En shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, the information for missions in such remote places was very inaccurate. He thought it was some powerful magical beast, but it turned out to be just a roadside monster that he kicked to death. No wonder it could be a hidden dragon and a phoenix among those bandits here.
In a fit of anger, Moen casually killed a few more magical beasts. In such remote places, the presence of magical beasts was indeed quite dangerous; even a single one could make people's lives very uneasy.
However, monsters won't venture out of the forest unless they're bored. Compared to attacking humans outside, eating animals in the forest is obviously less dangerous. They will only attack humans when they enter their territory.
"That's it. Next time, I can just find some small guilds nearby for this kind of mission. I don't need to go all the way to Fairy Tail."
After handing in the mission, Moen kindly reminded the village chief that, as a member of Fairy Tail, he shouldn't have said anything, since they made quite a bit of money.
However, Moen still reminded them that Fairy Tail was far from here, and if they encountered any problems, they could just find a small guild nearby, which would arrive faster and resolve minor issues more easily.
"Oh, I see!"
The village chief was stunned. This was the first time their village had invited a mage, and they hadn't really thought that much about it. They just went for someone with a big name, like "Fairy Tail" or Phantom Lord.
But the truth is, jobs that require being in a large guild, which are far away and offer low pay, are not popular, and it's difficult to get someone to come immediately.
"Don't go that far next time."
Moen nodded. He had specifically checked before coming that there were mage guilds in the nearby cities, although they weren't very famous.
"I've got it, I've got it."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, realizing that Moen meant well. He had a very good impression of this young mage from Fairy Tail; he was a very capable and kind child, although quite ruthless towards the bandits.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take Juvia with me."
After receiving the signed task list, Moen prepared to leave. Juvia was also in the room, carrying her luggage in both hands. She looked timid and obedient. She didn't have much luggage, just a small bag that looked like it could only hold a few clothes.
"Wait a minute! Mr. Moen, these are the rewards for the two missions."
Seeing that Moen was about to leave with Juvia, the village chief quickly grabbed Moen, as he hadn't received his payment yet and thought Moen had forgotten about it.
"I don't need the mission reward, you can keep it. When you have time, please take care of Juvia's parents' graves."
The latest novel is first published here!
Moen waved his hand, indicating that no payment was needed, which clearly surprised both the village chief and Juvia.
"This is what I should do!"
The village chief spoke with righteous indignation.
He wouldn't accept it just because of that. Moen helped them, and there's no reason why they shouldn't even give him a reward.
"Let's consider this compensation for the losses Juvia has caused the village over the years."
Moen smiled and continued, "To be honest, I really don't care about this reward. It only adds up to about 300,000 J. It might be a lot for this village, since they live a very hard life, but it's too little for me."
Leaving this money behind is a way of doing good deeds. Juvia's parents' graves are still here, and the village chief should help look after them.
"."
The village chief fell silent, then sighed.
"Mr. Moen, others may not understand, and I don't believe you don't understand either, but what does Juvia owe the village? It's clearly us who owe her."
After a silent sigh, the village chief spoke seriously, his words leaving Juvia even more bewildered. She stood there, lost in thought, trying to understand what the village chief meant.
"You really do understand."
Moen smiled. This village chief was a kind-hearted and intelligent man. He protected and cared for Juvia because of morality and because he understood that it was Juvia's abilities that protected the village.
"So, I'm very happy that you can help us solve the problem of monsters and bandits, and also take Juvia away. This way, we won't have to rely on Juvia to protect the village anymore, and Juvia can go to the world that truly belongs to her."
Looking at Jubia, the village chief smiled kindly and with satisfaction, but his words made Jubia's eyes widen in surprise.
"Protect the village? Me? Me?"
Juvia pointed to herself, the little girl looking on incredulously. She felt like she was dreaming. Why were the village chief's words so hard to understand? Was he really talking about her?
"That's right, Juvia, your abilities truly protected the village from attacks by bandits and monsters. They should thank you."
Seeing Juvia's bewildered expression, Moen smiled and gave an affirmative answer, explaining the reason, which made Juvia's expression quite interesting.
"Of course, it did cause a lot of losses, but everything comes at a price, and this is the price for you to protect the village."
Moen continued, saying that it had been raining for years, and the village had certainly suffered some losses, but compared to being killed by bandits and eaten by monsters, those losses were nothing.
"."
Juvia's mouth dropped open; he still found it utterly unbelievable.
"Juvia, you've never owed anyone anything. Leave in peace, pursue your own life, and become an excellent mage like Mr. Moen!"
Looking at Jubia, the village chief spoke with a smile.
