After asking Midea to set up her tent, I went to the prison.

　There I found the abducted girls tied up with ropes, not even their clothes. The humiliated girls in the mix are even worse.

　It must have been so hard for them. I can only imagine that it must have been difficult for them.

　It's not often reported in Japan, but there were quite a few reports like that [rebels kidnapped an entire girls' school] on the international news.

　But it was a story about a faraway country, so I didn't have a sense of reality. It was the same time and place on the same earth, but...

　But now I finally understand what it means to be in reality...

　But before you get sentimental about it, you have to be rescued first.

Gentlemen, please listen to me very carefully. I am the Alp Demon Exterminator and I am here to rescue you. The bandits have been defeated and I apologize for the delay in rescuing you. I know you are afraid of human men, but please follow my instructions.

".......................

　Human men would be scared, and it's hard to be naked.

　I managed to find some clothes, but all I could find was some ragged linen fabric. Hesitantly, I cut it into several pieces, cut a slit to show the head, and pass it along with the string.

　I just pulled the head out of the center of the fabric, put the body between the fabric and tied the cord around the waist. The front and back are hidden, but it looks very dangerous from the side. Still, I'd like to think that it's better than being naked....

"................................
It's just a stopgap measure and I'll find you some serious clothes soon.

　I'm sorry. Please be patient with me a little longer as I will come up with something to improve it. For now, I'll have you rest on the roof of the armored car until the tent is completed.

'And it would be helpful if there was a girl who knows what she's doing, but we're preparing a tent outside for a girl named Midia to rest in. I want you to rest on top of the self-propelled car until it is completed. We'll have water and food for you in no time.

　Midia went to the jail once to check on him. She said she knew some of the girls from before. I feel a little less nervous.

　The corpse is still in the corridor, but they're going to get him out in the open anyway.

　I thought they would be scared to see the corpse, but on the contrary, they seem to be relieved. The bandits were relieved to know that they were defeated. I was more worried about the corpse, but I guess that's what they say about peace and quiet, isn't it?

　On the way, I found a large piece of fabric in good quality and condition. It's probably stolen, but for now, I'm going to take it as an emergency measure. I couldn't do it myself, but I believe that Midea can make better clothes than I can now.


★Get out.

'Ryota, the tent is only about halfway done. Please wait a little longer.

　The girls who rescued her finally relaxed when they saw Midia. I was also relieved to hear Midea's voice.

'I'll help you in a bit. And I think I'm going to add one more tent.

　One is going to be a hot tub. The children who were affected, of course, but I think the rest of the kids will want to cleanse themselves as well.

　For now, I'm going to give them a tub of water and a hand towel. In addition, I prepare a meal with ration and tea. And I offer them some of my own sweet treats.

　To make them feel completely saved, we thought it would be more effective to give them freedom to do their daily activities, such as eating, and to relieve their minds with sweet snacks and tea.

　But I'm not sure if this is a good idea at all. I'm not sure if it's effective or not. Maybe it's because I can't stand to be here, and that's why I'm trying to do something.

　In the free space on top of the armored car, I prepared a rug, enough cushions for everyone, food and dessert. After that, I ask the girls to go upstairs and take a good rest.

　I ask the relatively calm half of the girls to call me immediately if they need anything, and deciding that it would be best if the human man wasn't around, I head to help Midia.

'Midia, the additional tent is for hot water, so it should be easy, and we'll both quickly assemble it.'
I know how to build it and I can do it myself.

'Those are their clothes, but they're terrible because I prepared them appropriately. I can't wait to finish and have Midea make me a new outfit. I found some fabric and some sewing tools at my disposal, could you ask her to use them?

　If I may say so myself, can you call that clothing?　I feel worse than a long sack with a hole in it for my neck and arms to go through.

'Then you're a slave before shipping. You must have been scared.　I'll take care of the clothes. A hot tub is a good idea, especially for a mix of kids...

　Thank God Midea was there. Slit is not an eye, it's an exposure. I was even having trouble finding a place to look. Plus, she's thinking about the girls in the mix.

'Hot water or cleaning up the carcasses. I'll leave it up to Midea to decide which one to do first.

　The first tent was completed and a rug was prepared and the place was moved. After erecting the tent for the bathing tent, I left the interior to Midea. Then I quickly retired to the cave.

　As I was gathering tubs, barrels, and snorkel replacements, I was called by Mogu [Mogu! I said.

　It sounds like a soothing call, but I went to Mogu's place. Then, thankfully, Mogu found a hole that leads to the outside.

　When I looked into it, I found a hole connected to the outside slope, probably for garbage disposal. The size of the hole is quite large, and it seems to be helpful for cleaning up the carcasses of the cave.

"Mogu is great, he's a big help.
"Mogu!

　So, with Mog's help, I was carrying out something that could be used for hot water, but I saw the important part... Gohon!　The children I had rescued were helping me clean up the carcass with their distinguished appearance.

　I don't know how long ago the sun had been up...

'Midia, I'm sorry I kept you up all night. If you just get your clothes ready, I'll take care of the rest. Tell those girls to rest in their tents and not to clean up, and I want Midia to take a nap in the armored car or in her tent.

'I'm fine with this, and those kids aren't tidying up. You were just going to throw away the carcasses, weren't you?　In some settlements, the looting is so bad that they're going to collect what they can use between their nice, dirty clothes instead.

The bandits have all been vanquished.　Are you still afraid to go back to the cave and retrieve it?

They didn't kill the bandits, so the loot belongs to the vanquished.

'Feel free to take it home with you, my reward is the money the bandit originally had, okay?

　However, it was not so easy to shift.
