198 194 stories. What, already?

"Good day."

Turning his gaze toward the voice, Mr. Druid comes into the resting place.

The master went to the woods for the sixth day.

That's unusual.

This time should still be the time to help the gatekeepers.

"Is there something wrong?

He called me a little while ago and said it was a successful operation.

"What? It's only day six."

"Hey over here"

"Yes."

Is there something you don't want to hear?

Follow after Mr. Druid, behind the store.

Go in front of a warehouse with lots of rice etc.

I haven't heard anything clear yet, but it looks like Ciel's cooperating.

... uh, siel?

I still haven't been able to get to the woods in the last few days and haven't seen him.

I was worried, but I didn't know you were going to the back of the woods with your master.

"Um, did Ciel get hurt?"

"The contact was made on a magic item and I don't know that much about it. But the master injured a few people, and the demon who lent him his hand was safe. I reported it so I don't think it's a problem."

"Really, good"

I'm so glad.

He said he'll be home in about three days.

Three days later?

That's a long time ago.

"Oh, what happened to the ferocious demon? Did you say the operation was a success?

"Now the gatekeepers are going to investigate the area around the woods. You'll probably find out today or tomorrow."

"I hope you're back to normal"

If this doesn't work, I don't have a hitter.

"Yeah, but I think you'll be fine with the tone of your master's voice. 'Cause you'll know the results more quickly than this one."

Oh, well.

There are fierce demons right beside us, so if there's a change, you'll see soon enough.

"Are you tired?

"... Mr. Druid, I'm not tired of an hour's rest on a four-hour job"

I don't know what kind of discussion the store owner and Mr. Druid had, but I get an hour's rest every four hours.

I said I didn't need that much rest, but they told me it was because I promised.

"Hahaha, Ivy's just a kid, so sweet is good"

Sweet...... that's hard.

"So, the real business starts here, but you should stay in this house today"

Hmm?

"Information on operational success should probably flow by the end of the day, then it will be festive"

"Festive......"

Was that the one you went through in Latom Village?

A fuss along with rumors of orgasm crusade success.

The square is also in amazing condition and reminds me that I was a little scared.

"Because this time it was a really dangerous place, and the way you drink it will be flashy. Then there will be more of them."

I know what you're trying to say somehow.

Probably more likely to be harmed if you were in the square.

"I'll tell my father and mother. So that you can stay here today."

"But is it good? Um..."

There's something about Mr. Dolgas, is he okay?

"I don't mind my house, but it's a little lonely over there. It's safer here. You don't have to worry about your brother. I'll tell my sister-in-law too."

That's a reliable ally, but is it really good?

Doesn't that inspire Mr. Dolgas?

Even so, you wouldn't be able to go back to the tent and ask me if I could take a break.

When it comes to being more likely to be worse than it was before... would you come in the tent or something?

Things about Sola and Flem could go wrong.

"Um, please"

"Copy that. I'll tell everyone. Time to get back to work."

"Yes, thank you. Be careful."

Perhaps today, it's a drunken response, not a Grubbal response.

Oh, my God.

"Thanks. I'll be there"

"Come on in."

Drop off Mr. Druid as he walks to the store owner and his wife.

I was on a break so it's a rest place.

"Did Ciel cooperate? Reliable, but are you sure you're not hurt?

Let's go to the woods tomorrow.

Oh, if you followed the masters, aren't you around here?

Then would it be useless to go?

Well, let's just go see how it goes.

…………

I'm walking through town to get to the woods, but everyone's face is smiling.

A smile I've never seen for the past week or more.

That makes me smile, too.

Rumor has it that the demons are back to normal, too.

I'm so glad I succeeded.

Nevertheless, I stop and look around.

Drunks rolling all over the road.

Sometimes I see it even at normal times...... a lot.

Too many today.

Everyone in the vigilante has been speaking out from earlier, but it looks pretty tough.

"Good morning. How about the woods?

Speak to the gatekeeper.

"Good morning, Ivy. We haven't seen Gulbal since after noon yesterday."

Apparently, the rumors were true.

"Are you okay going to the woods?

"Mm-hmm. I don't know"

Can't you?

I just want to go make sure.

"I'm coming with you."

Huh?

Turn around, Mr. Druid.

"Good day, Mr. Druid. Have you finished your work? Aren't you tired?

"Fine. Well, I don't want to see you drunk for the time being."

Mr. Druid with a bitter laugh.

I guess it was pretty tough.

The clothes you are wearing are flaking everywhere.

Probably also arbitrated fights between drunks, etc.

"If you're tired"

"I want to be healed in the woods"

"What? Did you say something?

The only word Mr. Druid said softly seemed to be heard by me nearby, and Mr. Gatekeeper listens back.

"Nothing. If I'm with you, no problem?

"Right, that's good. But be careful."

"Thanks. Ivy, let's go"

"Yes. I'm coming"

Wave to the gatekeeper and proceed to the back of the woods.

Go some way into the back of the woods and then get Sola out of the bag.

Soon Mr. Druid held him up and hugged him.

"Pu?"

"Are you all right?

"Hahaha, it's okay. But that was amazing. I didn't think it was going to be that noisy."

Sure, he also sounded like a drum or a whistle.

It's just like a festival.

"Is it because you're free from anxiety?

"I guess so. Because the top adventurers had lost a fair amount and were influencing"

You say it's different just because you have a top adventurer.

"It's going to be tough, isn't it? Because there are no top adventurers in town."

"They say the master will be working here for the time being. In the meantime, he said he'd find a tough guy to work out."

"Really? Don't worry, Mr. Gilmouth."

"Hahaha, Gilmouth was pulling my face when he heard about it."

Hmm?

Even though you raise the top adventurers?

"I'm glad to hear it, but it's my master's personality."

"hahahaha"

That's all I have to laugh about now.

Ah.

"Ciel's here for you"

When I stop, Fluffy and Ciel just come down from the top.

"Ciel, you said you cooperated. Are you hurt?

"Nya-yay."

Caress from head to head to make sure there are no scratches.

I don't have a scratch on my body either.

Good.

"Thank you, Ciel. Thanks to Ciel, we were able to solve the problem quickly. He said the injured only needed a little."

"Have you tried that potion?

Mr. Druid sits at the root of a giant tree that was nearby.

Sola is still in a state of being held.

Sitting beside him.

"What do you think? I don't think I'll use it unless there's a dying injured person."

Potion evaluated as non-appraisable.

Mr. Tambas said that if you use your appraisal skills, letters appear near the object.

but Sola's potion looks sparkling when she uses her appraisal skills, and she can't read and appraise the letters blindly.

'I've never seen anything like this before,' the master said, whining.

When I heard that story, 'That's Sola' and for some reason Mr. Druid was impressed.

Master and Druid predict that Sola's potion will have much more power than the advanced potion.

I was going to seal that potion at the bottom of my bag, but I was surprised because my master said, 'I want you to buy it off'.

Because if I had a potion like this, it would be hard for me to ask a lot of questions.

But the master said, 'Right, but this operation is pretty dangerous. If I can survive one or more of these potions, I want to take them. Let me buy it off'.

After a lot of thought, I only asked to buy it if I used it.

If you didn't use it, keep coming back.

By the way, I also take the red demon stone.

They can be used to attack with fire magic.

Would that have helped?
