36-Investigation team

The movement in the forest was mainly done using my transition magic.

First, I moved above the forest, where I spread out the map and checked the area that was reported.

Then I descend to the area I checked and search for a while to check the types of monsters that live there.

Moving from area to area is crisp and easy with my magic, and the monsters are able to sense the magic power and I can identify a certain place by me.

From there, Karius-san guided me through the forest, and if I encountered a demon, Noel-san would write something on the distribution map each time I encountered a demon.

''Insecticide!　Herbicide!

Several times along the way, I was attacked by swarms of insect-type demons and plant-type demons.

Each time I pointed my arm at the demons and uttered such an impromptu spell. This is surprisingly effective, and it's quicker than burning it with fire or chopping it up with wind.

Seeing my magic like that, Noel-san and Mei Fan rolled their eyes.

''I've even met wizards as a guild leader before, but I've never met someone who uses such bizarre magic.

That's what Noel says.

'What kind of magic is this?　As I recall, poison is supposed to have little effect on demons... but that's a bullshit power.

Thank you for the compliment. Thank you for the compliment.

The area we're exploring now is where we met the Wood Dragon.

I sense a presence and quickly utter a magic spell.

"'Felling!'

If I reach out my hand in front of me and utter that, the wood dragons that were swarming ahead of me, mimicking trees, are cut off from one side to the other and their heads are cut off and they die out.

Now I can sense the magic power of the wood dragons even if they are hiding. I think it's because I had the opportunity to know what kind of magic power the Wood Dragon has as an experience.

In other words, once a demon is encountered, it can judge what kind of demon it is by its magical power.

''........Am I dreaming?''

Looking at the pile of Wood Dragon corpses, Noel-san let out a stunned voice.

''No. As I reported yesterday, for some reason there's a herd of Wood Dragons coming to this area as well.''

''Well I thought it was a dream about the fact that the Wood Dragon was so easily annihilated in front of me before it was unmasked.

Should I have shown you a little more of a struggle?

Today, like before, it's not just one Mei Fan that I have to protect. That's why I've tried to reprioritize efficiency.

''It's strange that you can dare to struggle against dozens of advanced individuals. Normally, you have to fight against them even if you don't want to, that's the nature of the dragon species.

I agree with you that the boy's power is a lie. That's why I keep telling you that arrogance is your worst enemy.

Karius, you're still the same. No matter how good you look, girls will run away from you like that, right?

When Noel-san snaps back at him, Karius gets a stern look on his face.

'I don't like the idea of women. I don't like women, they are selfish, selfish, emotional, unreasonable and nonsensical. I can't imagine anyone wanting to get close to them.

'That's why they say that, old man, blah, blah, blah, blah!

He's coming in as a kid with no class.

Ugh, it's annoying!

Myl puffs out his cheeks and bites Karius-san.

........although.

''Hey. It's Myl's fault for that one. Make sure you apologize to Karius-san.

Nugu....

And just so you know, if you don't bow out, don't eat dinner.

By the way, I'm the one in charge of our wallets. There's no way someone as sketchy as Meir could do it.

At my words, Myl looked dissatisfied for a while, but when I glared at her, she eventually gave up or wilted as if she had given up.

''Ugh, okay. Oh, old man, I'm sorry...

Mr. Karius, right?

"Uhhhhhh........or, Karius, I'm sorry, please.......

It was a very uncomfortable apology, but Meir still bowed to Karius-san in a manner.

Then Karius-san turned away sullenly.

Hm. It doesn't make me angry to think of you as a kid. Well, maybe it's human growth to be able to admit your faults.

He said as if he was going to spit it out.

''Oh my God, you're like a big brother to Meir-chan, Gerald.

Noel chuckles and utters a comment.

'What?　Does it look like that?

You look like your brother, and you look like your father... oh, my God, I'm sorry.

As she was about to say it, Noel-san stopped talking with a huff.

The person in her gaze is Mei Fan.

''Eh?　Oh, no, I mean, I'm...fine. I'm fine,

With his tail slumped somewhat powerlessly, Mei Fan let out a somewhat melancholy voice.

''No, I'm sorry. That was my fault. ........It hasn't even been six months yet.

That's why I don't.... never mind. The guild leader and everyone else, so don't worry about it...

''Yes..... Thank you, Mei Fan-chan.

Noel-san smiles sadly at Mei Fan, and Mei Fan also smiles that sneaky smile she had forced herself to make, that sneaky smile she had put on when they first met.

But, Mei Fan.

If you don't mind, then what is it during that time?

If you're okay, why are you smiling like that?

I don't know what's going on, but even I can tell you that it's not okay, that you don't care about it, you know?
