The pig takes 350 damage (death)
The pig barely manages to squeal before turning into a charred piece of meat. The flimsy wooden hut with a thatched roof ignites almost instantly, and a thick column of black smoke rises from the building. Krait already hears one of the peasants shouting about the start of the fire.
A woman, about forty years old, with a bucket in her hands, suddenly appears from around the corner. For a moment, the peasant woman stands silently, looking alternately at the burning hut, Krait, the alchemist, and then back at the hut, and finally, having put everything together in her mind, she drops her bucket and lets out a piercing shriek – similar to the pig's earlier, but five times louder.

(I hope this is okay)

Nodding to his chemist colleague, he begins to move along the village with the aim of systematically treating the houses.

Unus had long learned not to show how much he was hurting, so it wasn't difficult for him to smile in response to the archer's words. He patted her on the shoulder.

- You did well. Especially for a woman. With such physical abilities, you could have given birth to a lot of children. It's a pity that your husband disappeared. Never mind, let's go to the villagers and cheer them up.

Well, until the first burn or a radical change in the situation. I set the character's direction. I don't care about the amount of things burned.

During the preparation and the battle, the village elder managed to return to the village. More precisely, a cart with his semi-conscious body, which the villagers had to unload by force. When he was informed about the elimination of the necromancer, he only mumbled something incoherent and demanded to be taken to the "smokehouse." The deputy stayed to talk to the victors.
-- Oh, what a nasty thing! Well, it seems... They promised forty. But the sheep died. So, thirty-five... we are poor people...
The man bowed.

Kotori receives 85 experience points.
Unus receives 98 experience points.

- Calm down! - the northerner comforts his grandmother, spraying her with a stream of water. - Everything is calculated.

You know...

Ruven is also given first aid and escorted off the field. The next two fighters are already preparing for the duel.
-- Come and train daily until sunset, and with due diligence, you will achieve results in a short time. In addition, there is also the possibility of individual lessons in weapon handling. Of course, it's not free, but I'll tell you about it later if you're interested. I believe you intend to go to the upcoming tournament in Divef, as a fighter?

Nodding to his chemist colleague, he begins to move along the village with the aim of systematically processing the houses and all possible targets moving in their immediate vicinity.

We return to the city. On the way, I tell Shinomi that the church needs to be repaired. If Revan doesn't mind, I agree to meet in the square after my sermon, buy materials, and go to repair it. Then skip to the next day.

You'll be working until noon, and then immediately giving a sermon in the square? Then I'll skip it and come at midday.
We still need to figure out where Shinomi will sleep. Mechanically, she could stay with Unus in the church, but we don't want to damage his reputation as a preacher.

Ruven nodded.
— Representing Fendrin at this competition is a great honor. And besides...
He paused for a moment, remembering the knightly orders of Divef.
— I also wanted to visit Divef. I've heard interesting things about that country.
