We went into the village and decided to head to the village chief's house as soon as possible. This village is rural and has one field per house. Rice, isn't it?

A: No.

Oh, yeah...

"Excuse me, I'm here to take over the request"

Cut out like that in front of the village chief's house, the door opens immediately.

"Oh, I've been waiting for you. Come inside, please."

"Excuse me."

That's how I get inside. Of course, Yurica follows me. When I got to my seat, the village chief started talking.

"No, I wondered what would happen if your daughter declared her request unsuccessful."

"Excuse me..."

I apologize for Yurika's seeming sorry. Speaking of which, you failed the request and tried to make a potion before that report. Even though the delay in reporting will disadvantage the next adventurer...

"Well, I'm relieved I seem to have found an adventurer to defeat Fangwolf. Ladies and gentlemen, what is your combat experience with Fangwolf?

"I've knocked them down many times, about two of them, and even one of them has no problem at all"

Whoa, did you forget to put 'other than Yurica' on it?

"That's reliable. When will the crusade take place? By the end of the day? If that means starting tomorrow, stay in this house today. There is no inn in this village."

"I will be crusading by the end of the day. So can I ask you something more? And Yurica's findings."

Nodding village chief and yurica.

"Yes, first of all, the vandalized fields are fields outside the boundaries of this village"

Typically, cities and villages have magic tools (magic items) called exorcism junction stones. This is a circular bond around the stone, in which demons cannot come close. There are, of course, a few exceptions, which do not work entirely for submissive demons, and which may be ineffective for intelligent demons, strong (too high level) demons, or demons in runaway states. It seems this exception is responsible for villages being attacked by haphazard dragons and stampedes.

And this is rural. It's huge if you can't say wealthy. So it seems that some fields fall outside the boundaries of the junction. They don't even have the money to buy a higher and more effective junction stone.

Nevertheless, when I say out of range, it doesn't completely work, and they don't usually come close to a field out of bounds either, as they don't feel bad when they get close.

"There aren't many normal wildlife around here, and demons aren't very close to the junction. I asked the Adventurer because I don't know why he was vandalized."

"So, as a result of my stakeout, I found out that Fangwolf was the killer. I tried the battle without taking it, but I decided to run away because I couldn't possibly win the second one."

I know how weak Yurica is. They're going to fight the goblins.

"Did you see why Fangwolf vandalized the field?

To my question, the mayor looks like he's in trouble.

"That's it, but I'm thinking there's probably been some anomaly in the torte forest."

"Torte Forest?

"Yes, it's a certain forest that goes east of this village for a while. Around here, it's the only Fangwolf that's supposed to be there. Plus, there's food in the woods, so you shouldn't bother targeting village fields."

"You mean you went out of your way to target a field near the junction because there's an anomaly in the forest and you can't get food..."

"Probably..."

That said, our request is for Fangwolf's crusade, the culprit who vandalized the field. I guess I can't help thinking deeply about something that doesn't really matter.

"Do you know where Fangwolf is now?

Ask what you can tell by looking at the map.

"Yes. I'm sitting in the field on the matter now. He decided we didn't have enough power to kick him out."

I knew it, there was an enemy reaction in the village, so I thought something was up.

"Really? So I'm going to exorcise you now, so can someone come and confirm?

"Well, I'll go"

That's what the village chief was supposed to say and follow.

"Wow, I'm going too!

Looks like Yurica's following me, too. No, nothing. I don't need a yurica?

We headed to a field off the village.

"Well, how do we take it down"

"I think we just need to get closer to normal and truncate normally"

Maria answers calmly. Well, that's okay.

"No, it's a corner, so let Mio take you down"

"Huh? Why me?

Mio, who had no idea he was going to talk to me, raises his surprise.

"You don't want the point?

"Ah! Do it! I'll do it!

I seem to recall Mio's promise to convert some of the demon points he defeated into skill points and give them to Mio.

"I can't do this because I have trouble counting points during a riot, but I want to give you these opportunities."

"Thank you, master!

I'm more than happy for you.

"Have I (I) been active yet?

"Ugh, sorry. I will prepare it properly..."

I don't think Serra's active battlefield is much of an adventure for us, is it? Or does it feel like there's only one situation anyone else can...

"Then let's take him down with an arrow from a remote position."

I see Fangwolf. We hide in the bushes about 20 meters away to see what's going on, and the two of them look like they're eating.

"Then hurry up, yeah!

Mio releasing an arrow with such a hanging voice.

"Come on!

He takes a second shot before the arrow hits him.

The first shot hits Fangwolf's head. 1st one falling as-is. The second one who noticed it looked up from a near-eating vegetable. A second shot hits that head, and this one collapses.

Hmm, did you predict the results of the first shot and fire the second shot there? You thought about it...

"Let's do it."

"Hmm, Mio is evolving every day too!

Confident (not) chest stretching mio. Above all, it seems to convey a policy of not relying on high status and also placing emphasis on player skills.

"This is amazing. I didn't expect you to knock them down in no time..."

"Wow, even a little girl like this can take you down, but I..."

You're surprised. Well, you can't imagine this result from the way Mio looks.

"Now you're accomplishing the request. What do you do with Fangwolf's body? It's a crusade, so we'll collect it, but if you want, we'll sell it for a cheap price."

"No, you can have it. Let's just get back to my house."

That's what I was prompted to do, so I put Fangwolf's body in the item box to follow the village chief.

Village chief's house again.

"This is the Deed of Reward and Request Achievement. Thank you."

"No, I'm glad you're safe."

"So... what, if you don't mind taking one more request?

I wonder what it is? I can predict.

"What?

"We want you to investigate the anomaly in the torte forest. I want you to find out what caused Fangwolf to come out of the woods. If there's an anomaly in the nearby woods, this village could be dangerous too."

Surely that investigation will be necessary. But...

"Why are you telling us that? Why don't we just go to the city and make a request?"

"That's true, too, but you all seem to be strong, and we're going to the city as an after-action report, so could you please"

"What do you do with the requisition fee and the terms of achievement?

My words jam the village chief.

"I don't know if it's... until we've actually investigated..."

"You don't talk about it. Don't you think you can get a request without deciding on the request fee or the conditions for achieving it?"

In the first place, even the request Yurika received was unfriendly. Investigation and crusade are on the same request. Usually the findings will determine the ranking of crusade requests.

Given that point, it is possible that the attainment would include a crusade while referring to a request for an investigation. You can't inadvertently take a request.

I mean, why was Yurika's request accepted? Shouldn't you be playing in the Adventurer's Guild if you were supposed to?

A: For requests below the C rank, the guild only checks to see if the request matches the rank. In this case, the damage to the field alone was judged reasonable because of the small amount of damage. The basic stance is' If you don't like it, you don't have to take the request '. I'll paste out the request, but I don't guarantee you'll take it.

You have no body or lid.

"Don't say that, take it for him! You guys are strong!

Yurica, who has been silent until now, suddenly says that.

"You weren't listening? This request has insufficient conditions as a request. You can't take something like this."

"But the people in this village could be in trouble! If you're an adventurer, you have to help those in need!

Yurika seems to be misunderstanding something called an adventurer. It feels like it's moving with a weird sense of justice.

"I'm not saying I'm wrong about that opinion, but that should only be if I get the request, and if the request is justified. Adventurers aren't charitable. Don't get me wrong."

"But helping someone in need in front of you is natural as a person!

Perseverance. Didn't you say you wouldn't take the request? The truth is that as long as the rewards and achievement conditions are firm, there is no problem with receiving them per se... The village chief doesn't even pinch his mouth. It would have been better for the village chief if he had taken it under these conditions.

"Don't change the story. When an adventurer is discussing whether or not to take it as a request, don't try to mislead the adventurer by putting it forward as a person."

"Ugh, but, because adventurers are better..."

Yulica's words are getting weaker. Honestly, you're gloomy. You don't have to take this request anymore. Oh, let's make a copy of our skills while we're at it. Steal 1 point. Convert the non-refundable points and return 2 points. Now I have 1 point left.

Yuleeka's < escape > skills seemed critical to level up, thanks to one extra point she returned. Well, it doesn't matter...

"At least I won't take it as it is now. I'm staying with the carriage today, so if you make a request by tomorrow morning, you can take me to the city."

That said, we went back to the carriage. I don't like staying at the village chief's house. Or maybe the carriage is more comfortable than the village chief's house...

Yulica seemed to stay at the village chief's house and didn't come back to the carriage. So I decided to use 'equipment people can't tell you' all over without worrying about this one. Specifically the 'room' kitchen, bath and bedroom.

The next day, I ask everyone to prepare to leave, and I go alone to speak to the village chief's house.

"I'm leaving now, are you ready for the requisition?

"Oh, that's..."

The village chief is behaving suspiciously. No way, are we going to let him take the request over this period?

"I mean, what happened to Yurika?

I looked at the map and there was no sign of Yurika.

"If you're that young lady, she said, 'If you want to investigate the woods, I'll do it,' and she went to the woods earlier this morning."

A village chief who tells you what he thinks. I see, 'cause you seemed weirdly righteous. You mean it moved on its own? Good. Take your skills while you can yesterday. It doesn't matter anymore, does it?

Thin feelings? You don't have anything to do with following the guy who moved on his own. I'm not one of them.

"So? What about the requisition?

When I urged the request form, the village chief looked surprised.

"Aren't you going to help?

"Why?"

"You're one of them, aren't you?

"No, I'm not. When I took over the request, I just followed up with an explanation."

Apparently, if Yurika went to investigate, she thought we'd go after her, too. I wonder if you might have instigated something about Yurika.

"Request form, you didn't make it?

"... Yeah, I thought it would be nice to wait for her to investigate..."

Well, I guess so. From the good guy from the village chief yesterday, he wouldn't be making a requisition vote at this point.

"Okay. Then we're going home like this."

That's how I turn my heel back.

"Hey, wait a minute! Wouldn't you wait for me to make a requisition!?

"That's only if it was done by morning. I'm not going to wait for Yurica's findings, or for her to make a requisition now."

"Oh no..."

I'm not going to do that butt wipe without telling you anything. Let's just get back to the city and get ready to go to the next city. What if...

I left the village chief's house and decided to return to the carriage.

"Is that it? What about Yurica and the villagers?

"Looks like Yurica took the liberty of going to the woods to investigate. It is assumed that the request form depends on the result. So we're just gonna go home."

"Right. You don't have to wait."

"Well, let's go back to the city"

"" "" Yes ""

Yes.

Leave your men to Selah and Maria to go outside the village. With no Yurika, the 'room' is free to use.

I left the village area, so I'll check the map. Sure, there's an area nearby called the Torte Forest. Two areas away from the village, the road, the forest, so you didn't know where Yulica was... When I checked in the woods, Yurica was indeed there.

Let's talk about what doesn't matter. I'm talking about the features of my map. On my map, I can see where people are, and it's color-coded by their relationship to me.

My subordinates are shown in blue. Precisely a friendly person to me shows up in blue, but this condition is quite strict, and it doesn't turn blue unless you're in a best friend or lover class other than under the authority. Maybe he won't turn blue.

Hostile forces are displayed in red. This one, to any degree, makes sure that if there is any malice, hostility, it becomes red.

Irrelevant, green if indifferent. The vast majority are classified as this force. In fact, realizing that this division can be set recently, I pak a certain handy simulation..., let me Respect. And the body is displayed in gray. Because the original force color remains in the frame, it is also possible to judge the corpses of allies, enemies, etc.

Now the display of Yurica, which was green, changed to the gray of the green frame.

"Oh, Yurica's dead"

"Oh, it's true"

This is a good one. Is it Yurika?

"That's right. Looks like you're dead. I acted without even listening to Jen, so it's a natural consequence in a way."

"Maria, that's pretty spicy"

"But I was the first to talk about self-responsibility. I'm not talking about us being involved."

Everyone is calm. Even if we exclude Dora because we don't know, for humans born (including Mio) in this world other than Sakura, life will be treated as light. More importantly, since we were all dying as slaves, death may have become something familiar.

"So, what does your husband do?

"I'm not going to do anything about it. I recovered my rare skills yesterday, and if someone else kills me, I won't be able to take them away."

I was curious, so I searched for the demon that stabbed Yurika in the stomach.

Maneater (abnormal species)

LV40

< Poison attack LV5 > < Acid attack LV5 > < Tentacle LV5 > < HP automatic recovery LV3 >

Notes: Animals, including humans, plants that prey on demons.

"Go to the woods of Maria, Serra and Torte"

"Okay."

"Oh, hey, what? What is it, sir?

Selah can be wolfy at the speed of my transformation. Maria immediately followed the instructions.

"What's the matter, suddenly? I can't believe we're headed to the woods all of a sudden."

"Oh, I need some help with the demon that took down Yurika..."

Mio also checks the map.

"Maneater or anomalous species? That sounds interesting."

I am also interested in the abnormal species themselves, but that is not the problem.

"Leave the abnormal species alone. That's more of a name than that. It reminds me of someone I don't like."

"Who do I know that reminds me of in a maneater..."

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to talk about him. Anyway, something in me is screaming for you to definitely take down Maneater. Let me defeat you with personal grievances, regardless of Yurika"

I don't even think he has anything to do with it, but he definitely has to crush it more than it's possible at all.

Q: What is an anomalous species?

A: It is a mutation of a demon that occurs very unlikely. They may be much stronger or retain special skills than normal demons of the same type.

I drove a carriage and arrived in the Torte Forest in about 10 minutes. The carriage is waiting at the entrance, naturally escorted by Mr. Tamo.

"Honestly, I just want to take you down, so I'm gonna give you a pretty high status."

"That's unusual. Jen, you're going to make it this far."

"How much do you hate maneaters..."

It's not the man eater I hate.

"Maria and Serra are avant-garde because demons on the road will perish as they move. Me and Dora take down the leak. Mio and Sakura are bad, but they just follow."

"Looks like you finally got my turn!

"You can't annoy Jen's hand. Me and Sella alone will perish."

The two avant-gardes seem motivated.

"Come with me."

Dora is as cute as ever. But the basic tactics are tanks, so it's not for annihilation.

"The attack while traveling is tough. We're making out in the back."

"Points."

Sakura seems to make a big deal out of judging the unsuitability. Mio, you said you couldn't go into calculations when you were in a mixed war, right?

I went into the woods. Unlike the Goblin Forest, the Torte Forest was a Southern-style forest. Colorful nuts and mushrooms grow everywhere. Colorful mushroom appraisal? I don't like it, it's a waste of time to appraise it for something we know is poison.

By the way, all demons in the woods are plant-based demons. Perhaps an abnormal species of man-eater has occurred, changing power relations in the forest, and has become a space of vegetative demonic dominance. Maybe it's far from what the original forest looked like. I guess that's why Fangwolf came out of the woods.

I have accomplished my investigation of forest anomalies even without trying, but I do not intend to report them. Because it's troublesome to explain why I came to this forest. Besides, I don't feel like paying a commission.

Proceed through the forest with the formation you just decided. After all, the annihilation of Maria and Serra is fast and progressing with little to no stopping. Maria pokes at the steeple, and Serra defeats the demons one after the other with one stroke.

Defeated demons will be stored by us later in the Inventory. Speed oriented, but no body can leave the demon carcass alone. Fortunately, I can store it just by getting close, so it hasn't been L.A. that long.

For once, I think I'll list the demons that were in this forest.

Tea Mash

LV8

Confusion Attack LV3

Notes: Mushrooms with brown casa.

Green Mash

LV8

Paralysis Attack LV3 Spore LV3

Notes: Mushrooms with green casa.

Purple Mash

Frostworm Fireworks

LV8

< Fire attribute resistance LV2 > < Ice attribute resistance LV2 > < Parasitic LV4 >

Notes: Parasite into worms. Resistance is also taken over by parasitized demons.

Burst Apple

LV5

Gut LV1

Notes: Exploding apples. It is unclear why it explodes.

Burst Pine

LV5

Gut LV1

Notes: A pineapple that explodes. It is unclear why it explodes.

I got my first resistance skills. Attribute and state anomaly resistance are major in games and stuff, and I knew they were, but I haven't had much luck with them before. Especially the rainbow mash. They have a constant chance to resist all state anomalies. I handed it out to everyone quickly. Trent's pseudo doesn't mean the same as Slime's, but it seems the same as his skills, so I'm going to give it to Tamo later.

The demon with the burst blows itself up when the enemy approaches. There's a few time lags, so it's miso to knock them out in the meantime. By the way, even if I blow myself up, they still have 1 HP left with their skills. I think the character is standing. Why, even Dr. Help didn't know it was going to explode. Because of my skills, I can only say.

I quickly came near the man-eater, but because of the abnormal species, you had a lot of demons. Yurika, I've been here a long time. Skills are so amazing.
