The eight of you were in shock to hear what had Ashley said to you.

Ashley: That's correct! You can get almost anything you want, plus you've got emeralds in your inventory!

Everyone looked into their inventory to see that they had emeralds inside their inventory.

(Y/N) has 30 emeralds, Yuuki has 26 emeralds, Kazuma has 32 emeralds, Megumin has 14 emeralds, Darkness has 28 emeralds, Aqua has 13 emeralds, Amy has 21 emeralds, Mia has 17 emeralds, and Cupa had 34 emeralds.

(Y/N): Whoa, this is cool!

Kazuma: I know, right? With this, we can pretty much buy anything that's useful to us!

Aqua: Hooray!!

Ashley chuckled as she spoke up.

Ashley: Be sure to spend your Emeralds wisely and also everything is at a low price.

Mia: I hope you guys have meat! Come on, Amy! Let's go!

Amy: Okay, okay.

Megumin: Alright, everyone let's get ourselves some fine trading!

And just like that, everyone split off to trade something from the Villagers.

(Y/N): Hey Ashley.

Ashley: Yes?

(Y/N): We've got a bit of a problem.

Ashely: Huh? What is it?

(Y/N): You see, some of the villagers were taken hostage by the Pillagers after they retreated.

Ashley was surprised to hear that as she sighed and spoke up.

Ashley: I see. They've done this a few times and took some of our villagers and we did the same thing as before, but I've actually had enough of them already. As I said before the Raid happened, I want you and your friends to find the Pillager outpost and rescue our people, they are seriously enslaved and I cannot stand it anymore.

(Y/N): I'll see what we can do.

Ashley gives you a smile and nod before saying anything else.

Ashley: Good. You and your friends will go to the outpost by tomorrow, which is located in the Northwest of the village. Get some sleep and let me know if you guys are ready to take down that village.

You nodded as the two of you went on your separate ways. You looked around to see the villagers rebuilding their homes and your friends trading some valuable stuff from the villagers, you smiled at this as you decided to get one for yourself.

For about one minute and a half to get some valuable items. You were with Kazuma who was swinging his new sword which is an Iron Sword with a glowing effect on it.

(Y/N): So, what kind of enchantment did you bought?

Kazuma: Sharpness Three and a Knockback One.

(Y/N): Heh, lucky boy.

Kazuma shakes his head in response as Mia ran up to you and spoke up.

Mia: Hey (Y/N)! Look what Mia got!

She showed you her valuable stuff which is a Pumpkin Pie, A Cake, and eight Cookies.

(Y/N): Wow, that looks good!

Mia: Of course, plus the cookie here tastes great!

She says and began munching down the cookie.

Amy: My, my, she really is happy, don't you think so, (Y/N)~?

Amy says with an adored look on her face as you chuckled in response.

(Y/N): Ahaha, of course, of course.

Just then, everyone reunited with each other and showed their valuables.

Megumin has an Apple, TNT blocks, and Flint 'n Steel. Yuuki has a bookshelf, a clock, and an Iron Axe with Efficiency two. Darkness has an Iron Breastplate, A Golden Sword with Unbreaking two, and a Shield.

Amy has Shears, a Rope, and Bread. Aqua has a Bottle o' Enchanting, Golden Hoe, and a Fishing Rod. Cupa had some TNTs and some cooked porkchop. While you had two leads, two saddles, and cooked porkchop and cooked meat.

Kazuma: Okay, I think that's everyone's valuables for trading.

Darkness: Alright then, we shall celebrating winning this Raid by eating the cake that Mia has.

Mia: Of course, we will share this cake!

(Y/N): Not quite.

Everyone turned to you in confusion.

Aqua: Huh? What's wrong?

(Y/N): We have some unfinished business which we will do by tomorrow.

Megumin: Well, what is it?

(Y/N): We must destroy the Pillager outpost and save the Villagers who were captured at the outpost.

Darkness: Ah yes, I remember during the Raid that the Pillagers captured a few of the villagers to their base, which I failed to do as a Crusader.

Amy: Don't worry, Miss Darkness. We'll have to get them back, no matter what!

Yuuki: Now hang on just a second. If we're going to start raiding the Pillager outpost. We're going to need like four people to start raiding it while the others have to stay and rebuild the village.

Kazuma: That's actually a good idea. Me, Yuuki, (Y/N), and Megumin will go to the Pillager outpost to rescue the villagers while Darkness, Yuuki, Amy, Aqua, Cupa, and Mia will have to stay here and rebuild the village.

Darkness: No, I'm coming along. As I said, I wanted to rescue the villagers and I failed to protect them during the Raid, you know?

Kazuma: Oh well, your funeral then.

Megumin: Wait, why do I have to come along?

(Y/N): 'Cuz, we need someone to blow up that outpost after the Raid.

Megumin: Oh yeah, good point. I haven't used an explosion spell for about four or five days now.

Kazuma: Anyways, let's get ready to Raid the Pillager Outpost by tomorrow.

(Y/N): Very well then. Everyone gets some sleep so we can some energy.

Everyone nodded at each other in response as they all went inside using a single villager house with a few beds.

So right now, Kazuma, Megumin, Darkness, Yuuki, and (Y/N). The five of you had finally found the Pillager outpost as the five of you hid behind some rocks and the trees. Kazuma used his skill called "Farsight" as he scouts the area in the Pillager outpost.

Darkness: What do you see?

Kazuma: Hmm...I see a few villagers are captured in a small wooden cage, we might need an Axe to destroy it. Also, there's an Iron Golem trapped in there as well.

Megumin: We might need to free that thing to help us.

(Y/N): Yeah, but they are a few pillagers out there. Kazuma, do you think can assassinate them with your thief skills?

Kazuma: Sure do. But I need someone to get their attention.

Everyone turned their attention towards Darkness.

Darkness: W-Why me!?

Kazuma: Because you need to get their attention as bait while I have to use my "Concealment" skill to sneak past them and break the Villagers free, while Yuuki should sneak the other way around to free the Iron Golem.

Darkness: That could be a good idea, but don't you think a Crusader like me gets humiliated!?

Darkness says with an embarrassed blush look on her face as you sighed and spoke up.

(Y/N): Calm down, Darkness. I'll join you.

Darkness: W-Wait, really?

(Y/N): Yeah, I don't like it if you go out there alone and you need someone to back you up.

Darkness: Thanks, (Y/N).

Kazuma: Anyways, let's do this.

Everyone nodded at each other and followed the plan.

Darkness: Do you think we'll be okay?

(Y/N): Don't worry, I know how to do this.

You said as you and Darkness approached the Pillager outpost as one of the Pillagers noticed this and aimed their crossbow.

Pillager 1: Hold it right there!

Pillager said out loud as everyone heard that and they all got their weapons out.

Pillager 2: We've got some fresh victims here!

He said with an evil smirk as you give them a simple smile.

(Y/N): Hello there, my friends! We've come here to rescue the Villagers you have captured!

You said as one of the Pillagers spoke up.

PIllager 3: Is that so? There are only two people against 10 pillagers! There's no way that the two of you will win!

Then an Evoker spoke up.

Evoker: Oh don't worry, I can handle them with my spells, which it will be too easy for the both of you will die!

They all laughed mockingly as Darkness gave them a glare as you spoke up.

(Y/N): Oh yeah? How about this?

You said as approached them with a serious face. The pillagers took noticed of this as they got on their stances. You then started to...

(Y/N): Ooh, child~ Things are gonna get easier~

...to dance.

(Y/N): Ooh, child~ Things'll get brighter~! And some of these words...Ooh, child, Things are gonna get easier~

The Pillagers and the Evoker were confused by this as Darkness felt weirded out on seeing you dancing.

Evoker: What are you doing?

(Y/N): What does it look like what I'm doing? It's calling Dance-Off bro! You and Me!

You said while dancing as you glanced over to see Kazuma freeing the Villagers as they ran off quietly and you also glanced over to see Yuuki freeing an Iron Golem.

(Y/N): Come on.

You said with your hand out towards Darkness as she shakes her head in response. One of the Pillagers took notice of this as well as you spoke back to them.

(Y/N): Eh, I take it back.

You said as you continued dancing.

Evoker: WHAT. ARE. YOU. DOING!?

(Y/N): Distracting you, you dumbasses.

You said with a mischievous smile on your face as then all of you heard the sound of an Iron Golem coming towards the Pillagers as they were sent off flying.

(Y/N): Ahahaha! Thanks, big lady!

You said as the female Iron Golem nodded her head before destroying every pillager in her sights.

Darkness: (Y/N), that was really awkward.

(Y/N): I had to, but it was hilarious! Ahahahaha!

Evoker: You little shit! You'll pay for that!

You turn to see the Evoker still standing as he used his spell and you noticed on the ground that something was coming towards you. You knew that he was casting fangs on the ground, you did a quick frontflip over the Evoker before turning around and did a quick shot as the Evoker was knocked back and laid dead on the ground.

(Y/N): How boring.

Yuuki: (Y/N), behind you!

Yuuki yelled as you turn around to see the five Pillagers with their crossbows as they fired their arrows towards you, but you quickly dodged the arrows using Super-Speed.

The Pillagers were caught off guard as you sliced them down using Deadman's Guitar on its Scythe mode. You looked back to see everyone fighting against the Pillagers as you sighed and spoke up.

(Y/N): This just keeps getting better and better.

A minute and a half of fighting against the Pillagers. Everyone had managed to kill all the Pillagers and freed the Villagers.

Kazuma: Whew, I think that's all of them.

Yuuki: Yeah, everything is clear now.

(Y/N): There's a chest on top of it so I took all of it before you guys could get it.

Megumin: What's inside?

(Y/N): Well, there's a Crossbow, three Iron Ingots, ten wheat, and seven arrows.

Kazuma: Hey, I need some arrows. I only have like fifteen left.

(Y/N): Here.

You said as you give Kazuma seven arrows.

Darkness: Shall we go back now?

(Y/N): Hold on, we need transportation, which is gonna be...

You turned around to see two horses, one of them was black skin and one has creamy skin.

(Y/N): Horses.

Kazuma: We'll take them!

You and Kazuma released the horses and feed them with Wheat that you looted. They ate it as hearts appeared on top of them, you and Kazuma knew that you two had fully tamed them as easily.

Just then, the horses began to gently lean on you to show their affection as you rubbed their neck in return.

(Y/N): You like this, don't you?

The horse lightly neighed in response as you assumed that they liked it.

Kazuma: Alright, let's put some saddlers on their back.

You nodded back in response as you and Kazuma placed the Saddlers on the horses' back and rode on it.

Yuuki: Yay, you got us a horse!

Kazuma: Ahahaha, come on now. Let's ride back home.

Yuuki got on Kazuma's horse at the back while Megumin sat behind you while the female Iron Golem gave Darkness a shoulder ride.

Megumin: Alright, let's go!

The five of you began to ride back to the Village. Once the five of you got farther away from the Pillager outpost, you pulled your horse to make it stop walking as the others took notice of this and stopped in their tracks as you spoke up.

(Y/N): Megumin, do your thing.

Megumin:

She casts her explosions to spell towards the direction of the Pillager Outpost as all of you can see the huge cloud mushroom away from everyone. The horses were a little startled before calming down as Megumin leans her body on your back.

Megumin: Ehehehehe, nice explosion.

She said with a smile on her face before giving out a thumb up as the five of you continued riding back to the Village.
