158 154. The problem is with Gilmouth.

Ah, Mr. Gilmouth's face is caught.

Mr. Druid must have absolutely noticed, but he's ignoring it.

... I want to get out of this place.

I interrupted the guild because I needed to tell Mr. Gilmouth about Gulbal.

When I look at Mr. Gilmouth's expression, I feel sorry for him.

Nevertheless, it is likely that Gulbal relations will continue to be a favor because only Mr. Gilmouth can rely on them.

"I appreciate the report. But the number of crusades is a problem!

"It's okay."

"What!

"You can stay with me."

When Mr. Druid says lightly, Mr. Gilmouth's eyes hang.

Ghost shapes?

"Haunted shapes? What is it?

"Hmm? Ivy, what's going on? You don't have to worry about it. There's nothing wrong with crusading Gulbal."

Blur.

Looks like the words were coming out of my mouth.

"Yes. Uh, Mr. Gilmouth, excuse me, please"

"... ha-ha, well, I really appreciate you crusading Gulbal moving around town... because they'll definitely ask who crusaded you, that's the only problem"

I'm sorry to bring you all these troublesome issues.

"Even though I haven't finished processing the previous Gulbal..."

Previous Gulbal?

I wonder if that was when I met Mr. Druid.

Speaking of which, you talked about getting a gratuity.

"If this happens, I'll ask you to keep it a secret."

"What's that?

"No, I just came up with it. Oh, because I called an adventurer from the next town."

"... Gilmouth, finish talking one at a time before you go on. So, why did you call the adventurer?

"It will be decided. We're understaffed. I don't care what you think, you can't just deal with the top adventurers in this town."

"Well, you are. So, who's coming?

"I don't."

"... you didn't ask?

"Oh, Gilmouth over there knows about the Grubbal, he's coming for the solid guys."

Mr. Druid sighed at Mr. Gilmouth's story.

"Well, I'll leave that to Gilmouth's discretion. So, what are we gonna do with Gulbal?

"... ahhh, I was going to forget!

"No, you can't"

Mr. Gilmouth fell powerless.

"Confidential request means' I just can't do it '... can't I?"

As a result of the discussion, it was decided to make it the same cause as the previous one.

I guess he was attacked by a demon stronger than Gulbal.

However, unlike last time, no sightings.

It turns out that Mr. Druid found him walking in the woods to get used to his body.

"Excuse me."

I bow my head deeply because the discussion is over.

Shh!

"No!"

Hmm?

Like there's been some crazy noise right now?

When I give you my head.

"Ivy never apologizes. Gulbal's problem around town was a project to deal with as soon as possible. Residents of the town will be relieved if they know the number has dropped at all"

For some reason, Mr. Gilmouth spins the word rather hastily.

I wonder about that, but is it okay because Mr. Druid won't say anything?

"I'd be happy to help."

Two days ago, anxiety has increased since the sightings came out right next to town.

If that's going to ease up just a little bit, I'm happy too.

Promise to turn the adventurer to the lake in an hour, and leave the guild behind.

"To Mr. Druid, and to Mr. Gilmouth, you remain helpful."

Sigh a little as you head into the woods.

Can't we just sign up for the guild......

You can't talk about Ciel.

"I have nothing to worry about. I'm not doing anything wrong."

"Yes, but it looks like you're pushing Mr. Gilmouth to get into trouble."

"Hahaha, because that's what Gilmouth does"

"I don't think so."

"Really? I think Gilmouth is a troublemaker in town."

... Sure, there's that side to it.

That's a tough job, the job of guild master.

Back to the lake, Ciel, Sola and Flem are leaning over to sleep.

It seems pleasant because it's where the sun is shining.

Slightly out of sight, the fallen gulval enters sight, but ignores that.

Don't worry about them.

"Thank you, Ciel. Mr. Gilmouth arranged for the adventurer to come here a little later."

I'm sorry I'm asleep, but I need to explain everything, including what's to come.

So I'll explain my plans after I wake you up.

Growl your throat at at my words and stretch your back.

Sounds like Sora and Flem woke up to that move too.

"Puffy."

"Kayuyu ~"

Is Flem still half asleep? I'm sorry to hear that more than usual.

"Sorry, I woke you up. Let's move because someone else is supposed to be here."

Sola jumps with Piong, twirls around us, twirls.

I was in a bad mood right up until a while ago, but it looks okay.

Sure it's from around where Flem was born?

... Could it have been a precarious period before childbirth or something?

Is that it?

A female named Sola?

"That Mr. Druid"

"What's going on?

"Do you have a gender of slime?

"Gender?"

"Yes. Did you give birth to Flem? because it's Sola. I was wondering if Sola was a female."

"... I've never heard of any gender in the slime"

Don't you?

Or is it generally unknown?

"Really?"

Is there anything else going on besides Flem?

Oh, maybe Mr. Druid's injuries were healed and calmed down.

Possibly, that too.

If Sora's fine, don't you have to worry about it?

But there may be times when I get the same symptoms again...

That's why it's wrong to force Sola to break her mood.

In the meantime, if I get the same symptoms again, will I have to look for conditions similar to this one?

Too little information now.

"It's time to move"

In Mr. Druid's words, I could see Sora moving towards his head in momentum.

I guess it's useless to stop it.

Mr. Druid, too, seems kind of happy... just leave it.

"Shall we?"

It follows Mr. Druid, who walks with Sola on his head.

Flem is in my arms.

Is that it?

"Um, don't you have to be beside Gulbal?

"Hmm? Ah!... you can't. I'm going back."

Again, as a Grubbal witness, Mr. Druid seems to have to wait for the adventurers.

Receive Sola over your head and temporarily leave with Mr. Druid.

"Is it okay because Ciel is here? See you later."

"Yes, I'll be waiting around the dump."

"Oh, Syel, I'm done hunting today."

"Nya-yay."

"You're a good boy"

Mr. Druid stroked Ciel's head many times before returning to the lake.

Piong and Sola jump off their arms and head in the opposite direction to Mr. Druid.

Sure, there's a direction, but you know what I mean?

Lead Sola to the dump.

And Ciel's strength was amazing.

We're going to take down all those Grubbals in no time.

View Ciel walking next door.

... That was cool ~.

Honestly, I was a little scared at first.

'Cause there's more and more blood back in Ciel's body.

I've never seen anything like it.

"Ni?"

You noticed the gaze, Ciel looks at me wondering.

"That was cool - I thought"

"Nya-yay."

My tail is circling in circles.

Apparently in a pretty good mood.

There is a wind in the tail movement and the leaves are rising.

"Ciel, let's just calm down a little bit"

"Nya-yay."

When the tail movement settles slightly, the leaves that were rising flutter to the ground.

Really Ciel's tail is the murder weapon, isn't it?

Speaking of which, you were fighting with only your fangs today.

That would only tell you what demon hit you about the size of it.

Could it be for that?

Looking at Ciel's behavior so far, it seems possible.

You're smart.
