Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in 100

He honestly fought really well. I give my heartfelt praises to Shingu who was sleeping in my arms.
To be honest, I thought that he was done the moment that Shingu got attacked since it was impossible to stand after that attack.
But Shingu never gave up. In order to defend everyone in the Barris Village, his desire made him attain victory and triumph over the enemy of his deceased father.
I don’t really believe in the power of will theory, therefore, I think that this will be the only time that this will happen.
Now then, it’s better to stop thinking about all these things for now and to first treat Shingu’s injury.
And so, after resting Shingu's body on a nearby tree trunk, I cast recovery Magic.

 [[Heal]]

When I cast the magic, A pale blue light emerged and wrapped around Shingu’s body and his body started to visibly heal its wounds. And when the light dimmed, the injury which was causing Shingu a painful sleep slowly changed and became a gentle slumber.
It seems like the treatment worked.

 [Alright, this much should be alright. All that’s left is to get back to the Barris Village. But there is something that I should do before that.]

I picked up Shingu again and my eyes turned towards the corpse of the Guros Rabbitsu; I couldn’t leave it behind since It was the game that Shingu had taken down. And so I stored the corpse of the Guros Rabbitsu in the item box.
Well, I guess the job in the Barris forest is complete.
I suppose I should quickly get back to the village.
And so Yuuma, with Shingu on his back, walked towards Barris Village's exit.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

After several minutes, I kept moving smoothly without encountering any monsters.
As a result, we were able to easily pass through Barris Forest and came back to our initial departure site.
We headed towards Barris village.
Now then, since we are about to arrive soon I guess Shingu should wake up now.
Just when I was about to wake him up, Shingu who was asleep on my back woke up.

 [......huh, where is this Nii-chan?]
 [You seem to have finally woken up. How does your body feel? I applied Recovery magic to your body so I think that it might be fine.]
 [Un, I don’t seem to have any problems with my body. But you can use recovery magic Nii-chan? Dad told me that there are not many people who can use recovery magic though! ]
 [Well, I just learned it recently. More importantly, we will arrive at the Barris village soon, so do you want to walk the rest of the way?]

This is because I felt that it would be embarrassing for Shingu. So taking his age into consideration, I asked him the question.Well, this question might not have been necessary. But Shingu shook his head and told me that he wanted to stay like this for a while.
I instantly understood what he wanted from his response. Shingu reminded me of my past self; the time when I was with my father. To add to that deduction, Shingu muttered words about his dad while he was on my back. I did not have the heart to say no to Shingu, so I kept quiet and walked towards Barris village.

And when we came near enough to see Barris village's gate, I noticed that something was different. There were dozens of people gathered in front of the entrance of the village gate.Among them were Gantt-san and Marisan. Even Zongsan, who is the village chief and also Shingu’s grandfather, was standing at the head of the group.
Shingu who was watching the scene in front of him was trembling. He made his body even smaller and hid behind my back.
I spoke to him in a gentle tone.

 [Hey Shingu. It’s alright to remember the old days. It’s okay to miss the old days as well, but that shouldn’t be the only thing that you do. I think that it’s time for you to go forward now, what do you say?]
 [I’m sorry Nii-chan, but as I thought; I am still afraid…..]
 [I understand Shingu. I know that you feel that everyone in the village might reject you but I assure you that, that is not the case. There is no doubt that everyone in the village of Barris is concerned about you.]
 [Something like that, I can’t believe it…….]
 [I know you feel that this is definitely a lie. But just look at their faces and you can see how deeply worried they are about you. You can see that I am speaking the truth.]

When I said so, Shingu slowly stretched over my back.
Then, he looked at the expressions of all the people in the Barris village and said a few words.

 [Everyone, looks deeply worried…..]
 [Well, all of them were waiting for you. And then there are some, who were waiting very anxiously for you.]
 [Ojii-chan’s expression is really terrible. It almost looks like he might cry at any time]
[Oh, Zongsan. He must have been really worried about you. The grandchild who went to subjugate a monster was brought back on my back and so he might be anxious thinking that you might have sustained an injury. Is what I think is going on in his head]
 [Ojii-chan, and everyone too, they are all worried about me….]
 [Yes, that’s right. I told you this before in the cave, everyone is waiting for you. Are you still afraid now?]

To my question, Shingu shook his small head sideways.I was satisfied his answer, and gently dropped Shingu down from my back to the ground and tapped Shingu’s back a little strongly with gusto.

 [Go ahead Shingu. Don’t let them wait any more than they have to.]
 [Un, I am going now Nii-chan!]

As soon as he said so, Shingu ran towards everyone in the village and was embraced by Zongsan first while apologizing for various things with tears in his eyes.
To which, Zongsan responded by hugged Shingu as he cried as if he could not control it anymore. And the people around them were even more so. He apologized to everyone saying that he was sorry and about ignoring them for such a long time.

And it seems like there is nothing to be worried about anymore.

Either way, this sight was a sight to behold. The gathering here had almost every inhabitant of the Barris village; of which most of them were in the midst of crying. It seems that it will be quite some time before they gather themselves. Thinking so I let out a sigh, but it was still a day that was well spent.
