109 Episode 67: The Journey of the Sky and the Mercenary

Maneater is a demon who also fought in the torte forest of Queen Castar.

Maneater was an abnormal species at that time, driving forest ecosystems crazy. This time, Maple had 'Giganto' on his head. From the name's point of view, there would be no doubt that it is the top species of man-eater.

A: Yes. I have no special abilities, I'm simply a giant and capable man-eater.

Abnormal species are higher in level or remember special skills than the original demon.

And when you compare an abnormal species to a superior species, the superior species is basically stronger. Abnormal species only seem to fall within the category of 'strong when compared to the original demon'.

This would mean that Giganto maneaters are stronger than the abnormal species of maneaters.

"What's wrong with you, husband?

Looking at me thinking about it, Maple asked me strangely.

"No, Maneater has a few memories... I've been thinking a little bit."

"So should we stop fighting Giganto Maneater? So the opponent we're fighting will be a golden fox? Man eater is better as far as I'm concerned..."

"No, it's not like I have good memories or anything like that. They were usually enemies. And give me the golden fox. If I could, I'd like to have a taste."

As a fox lover, I don't want to kill a golden fox if I can.

Unless, of course, it would be premature to let them fight the demon daughters at the moment if they were too far behind.

"Of course it's good. The golden fox opponent in the center of his hand. Then we won't try our own strength. What do we all do?

"Um, concubines agree. I want a power comparison anyway."

"Tyra, too. ♪ Or Tyra, you can only compare your powers ♪"

Giganto Maneater was the next target unanimously. All right, all right...

Now Tame the Golden Fox is becoming more realistic. If you can, the fox wants to moff.

"How's Sakura? Follow me. Is this it?

"Yes, I think that would work out...... If we don't even see the predatory scene..."

"I don't want to see that either."

If you don't even see a direct scene, you'll be fine with Sakura, who doesn't like being gross.

If it's the same as a man-eater, the prey should dissolve with acid. The grossest scene would be that.

Well, acid or whatever, but I'm definitely not going to let you imitate me like you eat people in front of me.

"I have one question..."

"What?"

Maria, who was listening on the side, raises her hand and asks a question.

"I think what Mr. Maple knows about demons has lived for quite some time, but why hasn't such dangerous demons ever been crusaded?

"Oh, do you want to do that? Giganto Maneater is also the type of demon who never leaves the territory. I haven't really touched people's eyes. Except for the adventurer I stumbled upon..."

The fact that they haven't been crusaded means that adventurers who have met Giganto Maneater will likely be dead.

If I had survived and reported, there would surely be crusaders and such...

"Afterwards, if you eat up everything around you, won't you lose your prey in the territory?

"It's like if I ate up the whole thing, I'd hide and be dormant. So, rest till your surroundings recover. Wake up periodically and do damage again."

"I see...... Okay."

In that sense, it sounds like there hasn't been so much human damage.

I guess it's pretty long to say it's a wake-up cycle, and it's not just about eating up the beasts and demons and stuff around you?

"From what I've heard about Maple, I'm not so impressed with 'evil demons'"

"Right. Sounds like it, doesn't it? It's just a little easier to understand that the wilderness in the territory used to be a pretty big city."

"That's definitely evil..."

In short, they say they've eaten up one whole town. With or without malice, there can only be no doubt that it is harmful to humans.

Besides, the fact that no crusaders have been formed means I didn't let one get away with it.

"To defeat mercilessly."

"Uhm."

"Good luck."

The motivation of the three demonic daughters is also sufficient.

Did you regret losing so much to Mr. Tamo?

At present, Tamo will reign at the top of the battle force I possess, so I'm not the one who can win a member who normally thinks and has recently become one of us...

A: In one way or another, it seems more problematic that the master has seen me pity.

Is that what you care about now?

Make it maple, make it chocolate, I watch the whole pity thing the first time I see you... You were so cool at an unrecognizable level, both of you were leaking.

"Is Mio, Sella and Dora coming with us tomorrow?

Ask the other members what they doubted.

I'm not going to say it's impossible because it's a period of free movement.

Like Sakura, Mio and Serra haven't been acting together much lately, so I asked them out.

If the dragon isn't here, Dora will follow!

Dora sounds like she doesn't really like dragons.

I spoke to Dora in a little detail, and apparently the dragon race (DragonNewt) and the dragon are not close enough at the racial level.

"The dragons aren't coming out tomorrow."

Follow me! Let's go!

Dora decided to accompany her.

In the first place, he just acted differently today because he was dealing with Fire Dragon, and he seemed to want to follow me if he could also do it as Dora.

Then turn to Mio and Serra.

"Me and Sella can't go with you."

"I'm sorry, sir."

"You got something?

I'm not going to force you, but I want to hear as much about what you're going to do.

"I have a culinary event in Castar tomorrow. Cooks from all over the place come together and they line up all kinds of dishes. Sella's on the eating side, and I'm on the making side. Sakuya asked me to do it right away. It's okay because I'm also in free movement..."

"Yes..."

What a reason. No, a good meal is important...

"Even if Serra doesn't have to go out to eat, why don't you let the maid go buy it and put it in the < Infinite Storage (Inventory) >?

"Your husband! Sometimes cooking is the right situation to eat! Just because it doesn't degrade, it should taste better on the spot than later!

"Yes!

When it comes to food, two people of all strength come to proclaim.

"Hmm, is that like a roasted noodle to eat during a festival?

Sometimes the grilled noodles taste delicious at summer festivals or something, but maybe the quality of the grilled noodles should be pretty good down there.

I guess the space (situation) that we call the festival is a kind of seasoning.

"It's a slightly negative analogy, but it generally fits."

"What are you talking about?

Serra asks strangely. Of course, you wouldn't know anything but me and Sakura and Mio because we're talking about the original world.

"We were talking about the world before. The same thing happened to the baked noodles in the house of the sea."

Yes, it was. I also knew Tiramisu.

And it was Maria who ate into Tiramisu's remarks.

"Mr. Tiramisu. Tell me more later."

"What do you care so much?"

"Yes, I want to know everything possible about Jen's world."

"As good as it sounds."

"Fine, it'll be a long time..."

Experienced (Mio) says. Maria used to ask me questions about games. There will be new victims.

Two, tiramisu. You remember stories like that that that don't matter even though you don't have much memory of your previous life. Remember, the story's the wrong priority?

"Okay. Then Mio and the others won't accompany you."

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, sir."

"No, don't worry, it's only a period of free movement. If it's delicious, can you reproduce it in the mansion? There may not be a condiment called a situation..."

"I'll take care of it!

"... if you ask a maid, she'll recreate the situation, too."

Serra, don't put that in your mouth, even if you think about it.

Look, the maids are watching. Oh, a few maids are exiting and on their way to getting ready......

Tomorrow, three demonic daughters from Maple, Tiramisu and Chocolate will join Giganto Maneater in the crusade. It was up to me, Sakura, Maria and Dora (+ one of Tamo's) to accompany them.

The next day, as usual, we fly in the sky with the wings of the immortal (Nosferatu) to the territory of Giganto Maneater.

According to Maple, Giganto Maneater's territory is not stable to become wilderness, forest or meadow. Of course, the wilderness is the result of Giganto Maneater eating everything up.

I actually also like to take a slow journey in the carriage, but this "Evil Demon Crusade Festival" has a strong aspect of what I would call a pastime in free time, so I decided to fly through the sky and move quickly.

Among the Giganto Maneater crusaders, I, Dora, Maple, Chocolate, and Tamo can fly by my skills (me and Tamo are half inches).

By the way, Maria is able to travel by air, so when combined with "warp," it becomes de facto. Sakura can do enough to float his own body. Only Tiramisu will die if he falls.

"When the three of us act, it might pull my leg that I'm the only one who can't fly "

Three people, Maple, Tiramisu and Chocolat, are going to be on a demon crusade sooner or later, but there are concerns that having Tiramisu who can't fly through the sky will reduce the speed of travel.

"I'm sure if Maple's status improves, he'll be fine."

The demonic form of Maple allows us to mount the human form of Tiramisu. However, Tiramisu's weight is too heavy to rise in that state.

I'm the one carrying Tiramisu right now. Maple is carrying Sakura and Maria.

Well, if you keep knocking down demons and getting Maple status, you'll be able to get Tiramisu on board.

"If it is, you can exorcise the demons and increase their status before you embark on your journey"

"That's hiring. Mae, let's get rid of the demons together."

It's okay. I couldn't lift Tiramisu myself because I was shocked... "

The concubine will naturally go out with you.

Even if you're going on a journey, it'll be safer after some enhancement.

The status of the vegetables is also high enough, but it hasn't crossed the bounds of common sense greatly... Don't tell me you don't have common sense. Ha ha.

"It's been a long time since you normally fly in the sky...... I only used it in the labyrinth to travel low altitudes..."

Sakura squeaks with her on the back of a maple in the form of a great sea snake (Cesarpent).

"Oh, Sakura flew through the sky since practicing the Wings of the Immortal (Nosferatu)... I'll lend it to you if you want to use it again, okay?

All the main members practiced their skills when they obtained the Wings of the Immortal (Nosferatu). Skills cannot be granted unless they are the wings of the immortal (Nosferatu), so there is no way to gain more experience in flight.

"No, I've had enough...... Jen, you were watching, weren't you? My flight......"

"Oh, speaking of which, you did..."

Oops!

"Dora is right..."

Sakura's lack of motor nerve seems to be beyond skill level 10, and even when he lent the wings of the immortal (Nosferatu), it was a dangerous flight to watch.

And at the end of the day, I almost fell. Without the use of the magic of 'Sammon', which summons the subordination, the great damage would have been imperative.

With that said, Sakura fought close enough to deal with slime and goblins on her way out of Eldia. I don't feel like I've been in close proximity since then. You really don't have motor nerves......

"When the sky wants to fly, I decide to ask someone..."

You want me to ask you to do it.

Let Dora do the same.

Maple and Dora ran for office.

Maple apparently can't resist putting people on board because of the mighty demons that have lived since time immemorial. much inferior. I can tell from the end of the story......

"Mr. Maple, can I ask you a favor?

It's okay.

Why?

"When I think about riding Dora, I feel so guilty..."

"Well, Dora can do it."

Dora swells that I couldn't get her to choose.

I don't feel half guilty about flying in the sky on Dora. It's possible if you say it's possible because it has high stats and high skills...

"Dora, why don't you fly with me?

"Wow, you suck!

Dora, who healed her mood, held me in the air. Dangerous to split.

Continue your empty journey for a while with Dora holding you.

Until I got here, unfortunately, there was no battle with empty demons like Bright Falcon.

A: I discovered Giganto Maneater.

Looks like Alta discovered Giganto Maneater. As always, he is an excellent secretary.

For once, I can do something similar if I set "Show alerts if you have Giganto Maneater in the map" or something, but it's easier to leave it to Alta than I do, so it's the current situation that I'm skipping on.

"Huh? That's crazy. We're not supposed to be in Giganto Maneater territory until we get around here for a while, are we?

"An anomaly, is it...?

Alta seems to be reading to members other than me, and Maple and Sakura raised their doubts.

A: It's an anomaly. We are acting clearly beyond the territory envisaged. With that comes a mandatory request in the city's Adventurer's Guild, north of here, on Giganto Maneater's path.

"Are you going to go up the city and crusade Giganto Maneater? If so, how about we say we put in a cross spear?

Like the demonic outburst (stampede) that took place near the clam in Castar, if the city is going to call it a critical situation, it's not a good idea to lay it aside if you can defeat it, is it?

"Isn't it good to lay low?"

"Unfortunately, I have no choice. In that case, will the concubines' opponents say Golden Fox?

The demon daughters (except Tiramisu) who are tough on the territory seem to share the same opinion. Oh, no golden fox. Give it to me.

A: In the first place, the content of the compulsory request is' Help evacuate Giganto Maneater '.

You're not fighting!

During the Atarime Demon Run (Stampede), the Adventurers came up against a bunch of Demons.... but I ended up taking it all.

A: An A-rank adventurer has been defeated and seems to have decided that repelling is impossible with his existing power.

... Could it be that the adventurers of the Union of Ato Nations are weak?

A: On average, it drops a lot more than Castar, Estea. In comparison in the country in which the Master acted, it becomes Queen Castar > Kingdom of Estea > = Kingdom of Eldia > > Union of Ato Nations. Here the A-rank adventurer is virtually the highest.

Those are a lot of unbalanced countries with strong demons and weak adventurers......

A: It basically pushes off in numbers to the mighty demon opponent. When the numbers are not aligned, they perish.

……

"Jen, what are you going to do now?

Maria, who is grasping at Maple and flying in the sky, raises her hand and asks questions.

... I want you to stop raising your hand when you're traveling fast through the air because it's dangerous.

"Right. I'm going to head to the city just north."

"Jen, do you have any ideas...? I don't think I have the benefit of heading to an evacuated city now..."

"Oh, Sakura's right, I've got an idea to keep."

Ooh!

Dora put her hands together for me. Glad.

"Name it, 'Operation Mysterious New Adventurer!!!'!"

"Operation Mysterious New Adventurer!!! 'means that we will now head to the city to the north, where we will register the adventurers of Tiramisu, Maple and Chocolate.

And declare to defeat Giganto Maneater, who is currently raging.

Naturally, the adventurers there will laugh at you. I'm glad temps have occurred so far.

Return the adventurers who have been involved and crusade Giganto Maneater as they are.

If you come back and show me that evidence, I'll definitely be famous.

And the Tiramisu, who crusaded Giganto Maneater, which even A-rank adventurers could not defeat, will become treated as mysterious newcomers awesome adventurers.

I explained to everyone that.

"The Tiramisu are going to go around crusading the mighty demons of the Union of Athens, and as adventurers, I thought it would be easier if they were in a position like a demonic extermination specialist."

At first I was going to have him sneak around the place and repeat the crusade. But sometimes hiding and acting is a mental burden.

Then you'd better have the position you deserve from the start.

With Giganto Maneater crusaded, I think there's a good chance you'll believe me when I declare we're demonic extermination specialists.

A: Basically demons can't register adventurers. With exceptions such as Dragon Race (Dragon Newt), the three Tiramisu, Maple and Chocolate, who are human shaped by their skills, are types of demons that cannot be registered as adventurers.

"Ma j!?

The stunned truth was revealed. Since Dora was able to register adventurers, I thought all human-shaped demons could register adventurers.

"Oh, yeah?"

"I've never thought about concubines or that. I didn't know that."

"You can't be the one Tyra was born to know."

Heh.

The demon daughters didn't seem to know either. No, if you say there's no way you know it. That's true......

"I asked Alta before... Jen, didn't you know...?

"Me too. I thought Jen knew."

"Stupid......"

Sakura and Maria know, so...

A: I didn't explain it to the master because it's not even that important.

Sure, it's not that important... I don't have to worry most of the time if I don't know... I don't know, this feeling of being left behind.

"Ha, then 'Operation Mysterious New Adventurer!!!' has failed since before the beginning...... I can't help it, 'Operation Mysterious Mercenary!!! Change to."

"Heh heh, you're not going to give up... Sounds like Jen-jun..."

"Of course."

Sakura is also a bitter laugh.

It doesn't suit my sexuality to give up once or so.

How do mercenaries differ from adventurers?

"I don't even know a concubine. Master, can you tell me?

Maple and Chocolate would not be so familiar with the profession of human society.

"Mercenaries almost exclusively take requests for combat. Adventurers get all sorts of requests for crusades and sampling. An adventurer is a profession that includes certain qualifications, and a mercenary is a profession that doesn't have qualifications or anything."

Doesn't make so much difference, does it?

"I thought adventurers would be better because they are publicly qualified..."

"I'm worried that two people who don't know human common sense can do adventurers. I think mercenaries are more natural."

"If you ask me, so is that..."

For once, I was trying to get Tiramisu to take on the negotiating part, but he wouldn't even have to cross the dangerous bridge.

"So, what about the position of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce to call him a contracted mercenary, a demonic exorcism specialist?

I'd rather have some sort of understandable back shield than travel around the place.

When the "Adventurer" is unavailable, the only card in hand is about the "Advanced Chamber of Commerce".

"I don't care. My husband handed it over to me."

"Uhm, fine. That said, wholesale Harpy and the others' eggs was the name."

"Tyra has no problems either."

"Okay. I'll call Mr. Lucea."

The demon daughters agree, so Maria contacts Lucea.

Because Lucea is the head of the apparent Advanced Chamber of Commerce (I won't give in, saying I'm the top of the back).

Shortly after Maria contacted, Advanced Chamber of Commerce branches everywhere began to talk with the body of hiring mercenaries. Thanks to the reading, it is very easy to talk back to back.

"Is it time to go to the city? I guess I should just get down a little bit away and take a carriage from there. Tiramisu is heavy and the horses are pathetic, so wait in the 'room'."

"Yes...... "

Weight stories lowered the tension on Tiramisu!

A: It is not advisable to take a carriage.

Whoa, is there a stop coming in from Alta here? So, why?

A: Giganto Maneater is expected to make contact with the city in the next day, and the city is in havoc and pretty rough. People gather around the carriage and the carriage is not in a position to travel. If you head in the carriage, your master's movement may be inhibited.

If you find out that a powerful demon is heading toward the city, it's only natural to say that you'll be in chaos.

... but I don't really want to say it, the rice village (tentative name) in Kastal gave way to women, children and the elderly when the demonic runoff (stampede). Is it cruel to compare it to that?

It's certainly a hassle to go by carriage.

"I think everyone was asking, but if it's a carriage, it looks like it's going to be a source of trouble. I'm sorry, but we're going to walk."

Get off to the ground where you can see the city from above and walk to the city.

Walk about 10 minutes because you are somewhat away from the city.

"For once, if something unpleasant happens beyond degrees, it's normal to withdraw." Mysterious Mercenary Operation!!! 'Cause that's not what I really have to do here. "

I don't mind if you get tangled up in a chimp (temple) or so (rather welcome), but if you cross degrees and get unpleasant eyes (arrogant nobles, etc.), it doesn't do you any good to become famous in a place like that.

In that case, I'm going to withdraw and sneak up on Giganto Maneater (in a while) when the city dies. "Mysterious Mercenary Operation!!! 'You should also find an opportunity in another country or town to do so.

"If Jen commands you to say a word, I will trump Jen's enemies"

"Don't think you just won't get that chance"

It is still a noisy Maria.

But if you have someone you hate as much as you want to kill, I will surely kill you myself.

At least, I'm not going to ask anyone else to kill me. I don't like leaving my cause to others.

I arrived at the city entrance after a few other meetings.

The name of the city is Norct. It's a city in the Kingdom of Gashas with a population of about 10,000 (map info).

By the way, the Kingdom of Gashas is a small country next to Castar, and if food self-sufficiency is done, it seems to be low. What does Giganto Maneater have to do with living there? Too much thought......

The city of Norct has gates and walls, but from Giganto Maneater, it would only be about wafers chocolate confectionery.

Why is my 'solidity' standard always food? But I also feel right this time.

"I want to get into the city, how much is the toll?

Ask the bald old man's gatekeeper for tolls. Is this old man a gatekeeper? You look tough as a bandit.

"You......, what are you going to go into the city at a time like this? You're not a fire thief, are you?

When I asked for tolls, they treated me like a fire place thief. No, surely it wouldn't be strange if they took that when they thought about timing......

Yes, Maria there, it doesn't kill you.

"Is something wrong?

In the meantime, talk in a body you don't know.

"You're here not knowing? Now there's a disastrous demon looming in this city. The city's highest A-rank adventurer couldn't win, and he barely escaped. Because of that, the city is pretty rough right now. It's dangerous to get into the city, and it's dangerous to stay here. So you shouldn't go in in the double sense"

Is that it? This old man, kind for his face (excuse me)?

"Really? That's tough. So, how much is the toll?

"You were listening!? Not if you're in the city!? You guys get out of here!

A bald gatekeeper yells at me like entering the city even when I hear about it.

"No, it's just fine. If we don't get inside the city, we won't be able to talk, will we?

"Just fine? I thought you were gonna be a firehouse thief.

Do you really want to make me a fire thief? Me being treated like a fire thief by a bandit face,... new.

I stroke my head because Maria started reaching for the sword. Maria's hand stops. My tail shakes.

"No, no, it's a sell-in, a sell-in"

"You think it's a sale? What are you selling in?

"It's power. It's a mercenary sale to take down the demons that are looming in this city."

"Huh?"

A bald gatekeeper with a frightened face, like he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I point to the three demon daughters and explain to the bald gatekeeper.

"The three of them look like that, but their combat abilities are first-class. I don't know what demons are looming for this city, but I don't think they're the ones that can't be defeated by those three."

"Huh? Are these ladies strong? Even if you're joking, you're in a bad place..."

He didn't seem to believe in bald gatekeepers at all. That's natural, too.

"Maple, chocolate, shoot and hit each other over the sky."

"Yes."

"Uhm."

So let me show you visible evidence. Like I have to believe.

Instruct the two of them to chant "Aqua Javelin" and "Wind Javelin," which are Level 5 magic.

"Aqua Javelin"

"It's 'Windjavelin'!

Water and wind spears are released over the sky along with the two declarations. Polar, it's a giant spear.

Two spears collide some 10m up and start flying big.

- Do-on!

"Windjavelin" doesn't look like anything is going to happen because of the wind, but "Aquajavelin" is water, so blisters flew into abundance.

The outside of the gate was flooded as if after it had rained. Looks like the wind has spread the blister extensively.

Honestly, it looks good but not so powerful magic. But it's just a good move to show someone you doubt in strength.

"Lying... right...?

"Have you believed me a little?

"Oh, oh...... Yes! Are you guys really going to crusade the demons!?

A bald gatekeeper looking at this one with the kind of eyes you'd expect.

"Of course, I'll get paid."

"He said mercenary, so naturally... You're not an adventurer?

"I have an adventurer registration, but those three aren't. Advanced Chamber of Commerce. You know what?

"Oh, you've heard of it. Castar, the Chamber of Commerce that's been building up its power in Ato lately, right? I've heard rumors that the Royal Castar family is on the back..."

Is it such a rumor?

I guess it's right in a way if it means putting what you're doing to the back.

"I'm a mercenary with an exclusive contract with that Advanced Chamber of Commerce. That's all it takes to be a job, so you don't have to sign up for adventurers."

It's a lie. I really wanted to let you register as an adventurer and temple me this time.

Castar, the temple has been crushed beautifully in Estea......

"You may contact the Advanced Chamber of Commerce. It would guarantee me, including strength. With that time, but..."

"There's something about the magic earlier, and you don't look like you're lying.... Okay, I'll talk to the lord, will you follow me? Of course, you don't need a toll."

"That's it, this is this. How much for one? I don't like making borrowings."

Originally, I don't like to make borrowings. Especially the one I hate the most is' Places I hate, I owe them '. I guess with the kingdom of Eldia.

In the case of this city, the seeds of trouble are everywhere, and there's the worst chance of abandoning them, so I don't want to borrow them.

"... 1000 gold per person"

"Yes, then this is the price."

That's what I said. Pay the bald gatekeeper 7,000 gold and get inside the city. Naturally, I haven't paid Mr. Tamo's share.

I think introducing Mr. Tamo as a mercenary is really the most powerful.
