78 Episode 78: Chimera Rice and Secret Bookshelves

"Yes, I'm done."

Mr. Foca announces the end of the treatment of Mr. Liseau, who was injured in the battle against Chimera.

"Sman Virgin"

"You're welcome."

Mr. Foca accepts Mr. Liseau's gratitude with a smiling smile.

"Well, then we have to do something about this."

and refers to the chimera that Mr. Ramies exorcised while drinking mana potion to restore his depleted magic.

'Cause it was pretty strong, and the material is going to be a good price'

Hmm, I don't think it was even such a big chimera, just because it had a pretty good playback capability.

"Heavenly Demon, the priority of the share comes from the boy."

And somehow Mr. Roddy stabs Mr. Ramies with a nail.

"I know."

"Uh, what's a priority?

I raise my doubts about unfamiliar words. [M]

"What? You don't know, boy!?"

For some reason, not only Mr. Roddy, but even Mr. Foca and Mr. Lissoe are circling their eyes.

"Priority is the right to claim the material you want from the most active person when you jointly defeat a demon."

Mr. Ramies explained the priority to the teacher who teaches the students.

"Heh, you had that rule"

"You really didn't know"

Mr. Roddy looks at me with a frightened face.

"No, the basics were hunting alone, and when we teamed up, we were mostly knocking them all down by ourselves."

I'm sure that rule applies when such a strong demon is the target.

"When the rules weren't there, there weren't many vicious adventurers to hide in a safe place and fight after the demons were weak."

"But because there was so much trouble, the Alliance enacted the rule of priority, and since then, we have all gained priority in joint crusades, so the number of troubles has dropped dramatically because we have been aggressive."

Mr. Foca and Mr. Liseau narrow the description for Mr. Ramies.

But as long as it does, then we can share valuable materials fairly.

"Boys don't know strange things sometimes."

"Excuse me, I'm a country guy"

"I don't think that's the problem..."

"Well, that's why the priority of this chimeric material rests with the boy. Which part do you choose...... hmm?

Mr. Roddy pointed to the chimera to choose now... and stopped.

When we looked at the chimera, we noticed something strange on the chimera.

That was white and moffy and a very familiar hindsight.

And that's shaking all over the chimera...... no, it's sinking a little bit?

No, I'm not sinking, I'm eating chimeric meat!?

"What are you doing!?"

"Cu?"

Did you call that to my voice? Switch to all the sayings.

I can't help but be surprised. [M]

"You, aren't you Moffmoff!?"

"Cu!"

I thought it was similar - it was really MOFFMOFF!?

"Hey, what!? You know what? Big guy eater!?"

Mr. Liseau asks me what the hell that is.

He also seemed confused as to whether it was a good one with his sword pointed at him because he looked moffy and seemed harmless.

"Uh... our... pet, is it?

"Why are you questioning me?

"haha......"

I mean, why is Moffmoff here?

"You followed me more than that?

"Cu!!"

Exactly! And Moffmoff raises his hand.

"You know, this place is very dangerous. It's a place where only S-ranked adventurers should go in, isn't it?

"Cu?"

Really? and Moffmoff tilts his neck.

And soon I went back to the task of eating chimeric meat as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, don't eat it!

When I pulled Moffmoff off the flesh of the chimera, Moffmoff wanted to eat the flesh of the chimera in a jitter, but eventually he gave up or drooped his legs.

"I mean, a creature I've never seen, but what the hell is that creature?

And, Mr. Ramies points to Moffmoff and asks if his desire for knowledge has been stimulated.

Oh, come on, don't try to bite Mr. Ramies' finger.

"I don't know, I think it's a demonic child because it comes from an egg I picked up in the heart of the Warcraft Forest."

"Is this the demon? No shards of nervousness, no creatures like hairballs?

"Oh, that's adorable."

Surprised to see if Mr. Ramies is really a demon, Mr. Foca loves Moffmoff as if he could even see it in Nuigurumi.

"Don't be alarmed, the creature is a creature who doesn't know how to hunt A-rank demons."

And, Mr. Roddy warns you both.

"This is the A-rank demon? Are you kidding me?

Uh, with that said, Moffmoff was the last to join us in a battle with Mr. Roddy before, and he was spitting out a bigger nuclear stone than Mr. Roddy's prey.

Whatever......

"Sorry, my Moffmoff ate meat on his own, so my priority is meat, please"

I can't help it, this is also the owner's responsibility.

"Uh, well, isn't it good if it's about meat? I don't know how much chimeric meat you use for ingredients."

And Mr. Roddy takes it for granted.

"Sure, and anyway, bury or burn the unnecessary parts and dispose of them. Then there's a problem where the pet got a little twisted."

Mr. Ramies agrees with what Mr. Roddy said.

"Yeah, you're right. I think this chimera is the only way to raise a young child, even if it's a monster, even if it's a life distorted by an evil business."

Mr. Foca also admitted from the monk's point of view that it was a good thing.

"Well, that's the thing. Never mind. Take whatever you want."

At the end of the day, permission was also given by Mr. Liseau, the leader.

They're all good people.

"Thank you. Then I'll have one forefoot nail."

"Chimera claws, or indeed, if they were this size, they could be used as weapons even if they were sharpened out. A fair reward."

All right, I got permission from the leader, and I got the chimera claws!

"That's why I got your permission, and you can eat meat. But you can't eat it because you use it as an ingredient, except for meat."

"Cuun!!"

Moffmoff is aware! and when I give him my forefoot, he hits the flesh of the chimera like a whole demon thing.

"This way, the demon kid is cute, too."

Mr. Foca smiles at Nico and sees the sight of Moffmoff's meal, but the white hair is dyed bright red because he is wearing it on the raw meat.

"Is that... adorable?

Mr. Roddy is watching Moffmoff twisting his neck with um.

"Then shall we collect the material? I don't see any other demons or figures in here, thanks to the fact that Chimera was in territory. Shall I bring back this material as a souvenir?"

You're going to make this chimera the fruit of your search for ruins.

"Well, how much does this size put in a magic bag?"

And, Mr. Ramies takes a small bag out of his robe.

"Oh, did the Heavenly Devil's husband also have a bag of magic?

And, Mr. Roddy also takes a small bag out of his nostalgia.

"Well, an S-rank adventurer would naturally have about a magic bag of capacity anyway"

So, Mr. Ramies turns his gaze on us.

"Yeah, I have one, too. Even so, though in my case it was loaned by the church. There are few opportunities to obtain rare herbs at work."

"At a time when an asshole church lends valuable magic items to adventurers who have no guarantee of returning home alive, you know how important the presence of the Virgin is to the church."

"I'm not such a big bitch."

"That's it for nothing. We're going to dismantle it."

By order of Mr. Liseau, we silently begin to dismantle the chimera.

I don't know when this giant is going to end without all of us.

"Hey, hairy balls, you can eat this moss too!

"Cuuuuu!"

With Mr. Lissow's permission, Moffmoff jumps into the Mountain of Motsu with great joy.

Yeah, we'll wash Moffmoff when we're done dismantling.

◆

"Like this"

After the dismantling of the chimera, we stretch out a lot and relax our bodies.

"Water pressure!

Mr. Ramies will wash the chimeric material with the magic of releasing high pressure water.

High pressure water not only cleans up the blood of the chimera, but also the stubborn pieces of meat.

"You have convenient magic, Heavenly Guide."

"Well, I haven't traveled the ruins of ancient civilization to Dade to study Lost Magic. This is how attack magic works."

Uh, the magic of high-pressure water currents is convenient, isn't it? It's versatile enough to clean up dirt on walls and floors, or even use it to get rid of mobs.

"Oh, yeah. Please also wash Moffmoff."

"Ok...... so the creature tastes nasty!?"

Mr. Ramies, who was thrown Moffmoff into the material, gives a surprise, but Moffmoff at the time seems to feel comfortable with the high-pressure water flow that hit him.

"Cuckoo"

And I roll around and remove the dirt as I sing my nose song.

"You're lying, aren't you? Even an orga giant is a blowing magic!?"

Uh, Moffmoff would be fine with the water pressure to the extent that the ogre blows up.

And the material of the chimera and the moff-moff have become clean, so the rest is dried with warm wind magic and stored in everyone's magic bag.

"Sman, my magic bag is full."

And I declare that Mr. Roddy won't go in anymore.

"One more cup of mine."

"Me, too."

Mr. Foca and Mr. Lissow then also declare that the magic bag is full.

"Exactly this size, can't even get into a magic bag"

"Heh heh, your bags aren't a lot of capacity. My bag's still in there."

That's just an expert in site exploration, and it sounds like Mr. Ramies' magic bag has more capacity than everyone else's.

The best way to safely bring out items that are rare materials in dangerous locations is to take a large magic bag of capacity rather than going back and forth.

As such, the remaining ingredients will be packed in a magic bag between me and Mr. Ramies.

"The boy's magic bag has a lot of capacity."

"No, it's not that big of a deal."

But it's a magic bag made of the materials of things, so you're not really sure about the capacity.

"Mm, the limit."

And Mr. Ramies' magic bag will be full of capacity, too.

"Unfortunately, we'll have to leave the rest. Well, bones and scales would interest demons, too."

"Mr. Ramies, if it's my magic bag, it'll still be fine."

"What!?"

Mr. Ramies makes me look surprised, but in fact, I've only used less than half my magic bag capacity.

"Oh, man. How much in that magic bag!?"

"Huh? Well, with this chimeric material, I think you'll get a few hundred, right?

"" "" Hundreds!? ""

Once I have answered Mr. Ramies' question, for some reason everyone will look at this one with a surprised face.

"And I can't believe it! My Magic Bag is one of the largest currently unearthed Magic Bags!?"

Huh? Maximum? The capacity of the bag, I think, is the average capacity of the magic bag on the market.

"No, it's not a lot of capacity compared to a military magic bag."

Yeah, because it was normal for magic bags used for military purposes to hold a few years' worth of stockpiles.

As long as it takes, my magic bag has less capacity.

"... well, isn't the capacity thing good enough? If I could take it all home, I'd never have crossed it."

"... so is that"

Mr Liseau agrees with Mr Roddy's words.

I don't know what it is, but if everyone's convinced, I don't know.

"Then dispose of the leftover meat and moss... that?

and Mr. Roddy, who stood up, leans his neck.

"What's up, Clear Storm?

"No, meat and moth. Where have you been?

"" "Huh?

We look around, too, to Mr. Roddy's words.

But I found no chimeric meat or moss anywhere.

All there is is is chimeric blood flowing through the demolition.

……

Nature, everyone's gaze gathers in Moffmoff.

"Cuun?"

What's Moffmoff doing? I come looking at this one like that.

"Maybe you ate them all?

"Cuun!"

Moffmoff replied with his chest stretched that he was right.

"" "" I ate them all. Ahhh!? ""

A few S-rank adventurers are surprised by this.

Or I was surprised, too.

"And I can't believe it, where in this body all that amount of meat disappeared!?"

"Well, well, you eat a lot"

"Holy Virgin, I don't think that's the problem"

"I knew this demon was crazy."

Um, I didn't think you'd eat it all.

"You, were you that hungry?

"It's not like I was hungry! Who the hell is that demon?"

Looks like Mr. Ramies has no choice but to worry about the species of Moffmoff.

Well, actually, I care.

What kind of race are you really?

◆

After we finished collecting the material from the chimera, we washed away the blood from the courtyard before resuming our search.

If you leave it like that, you might smell the blood and other demons will come.

"There's no such thing as demons around here."

Mr. Foca was right.

Unlike the entrance, there were no demons in the back of the building more than in the courtyard.

When I checked the demonic reaction with exploratory magic, I found something strange.

"Weird, there are demonic reactions around here, but there's no sign of movement."

"You don't move?

Mr. Liseau is surprised to hear that the demon's reaction is immobile.

"I'm sure it's dark, but it's not time for the demon to sleep yet, is it?

"Yeah, but the magically perceived demons have no movement."

Technically, the demon in the building beyond the courtyard is.

The demon reaction near the entrance we broke into is still moving.

But only the demons on this side of the compartment showed no signs of movement as if time had stopped.

"Perhaps this demon is being tortured."

"Are you being jerked off?

Mr. Liseau is interested in my words. [M]

"Oh, the Knights Rebellion Attempt Case,"

And, Mr. Roddy pounds his hand.

"What is the Knights Rebellion Attempt?

He doesn't know about that case. Mr. Foca tilts his neck.

"Don't you know the Virgin? There used to be a massive demon crusade around the king's capital in this country, and that demon was a demon who obeyed the orders of those whom the Knights had secretly raised."

"Well! How could you manipulate a demon?!?"

It seems incredible to Mr. Foca, a monk who serves God, that demons that harm people obey people's orders.

But, well, a demon is a proper profession to make people hear about growing demons from childhood.

My Moffmoff is a little selfish right now, but I hear what he says.

"A demon who obeys human orders? It seems that in ancient civilizations there was some study of such demons."

"Really?

"Oh, it looks like the technology we developed to fight demons."

Uh, with that said, there were people in the lab that used to do the same research.

I didn't know the details of the study because the department was different.

My boss says, "Magic items and magic research are much safer and easier to use than research on monsters and chimeras at risk of going wild! That's why we're better! I thought you said."

I feel like I've had some personal feelings along the way, but, well, that was a long time ago.

Then, as we moved around avoiding the demons detected by exploratory magic, we reached the point.

There was a room on each side of the wall on both sides of the poke, and neither room was used as a storeroom, no big deal.

"I wish it was a magic item."

"There's no way there's a magic item at that convenience."

"Looks like it was a material storage area, but it's been out of use for years. It looks like a place to put items that have no magic on them and no magic bags, so no big deal. We can't help it. We're going back to the previous split."

I couldn't find anything of value, so I gave up and went back to the aisle.

But I was uncomfortable with this passage.

"Why did you bother turning the material storage area into another room?

If that were the case, it would be better to make it one big room.

And it's strange that the room is two across the aisle.

I touch the end-of-the-life wall of the aisle that spans between the two rooms and tap it gently.

"Hmm?"

And to the discomfort of the sound I hear, I tap the floor to confirm the discomfort.

"What's up, boy? We're going back?"

I'm not going back. I'm surprised how I behaved. Mr. Roddy's calling.

"Please stay back. I'll catch up with you soon."

"You found something?

"Still nothing... ah"

As I was exploring the wall again, I noticed that one part of the wall was unnaturally annoying.

But if there is no gap in the wall, there is no protrusion.

It's a flat wall.

But only the touch of my hand feels a tingle there.

When I pushed the glitch in, I heard the goggles and something make a heavy noise and move.

And at the next moment, the white wall slid sideways, and the door revealed itself from the inside.

"Hey, what's this?!?"

Mr. Roddy, who was watching the whole thing, gives a surprise.

"Is something wrong?... oh!? What's that door?!?"

The Lisaws, who came back to hear the sound, also give a shout of surprise.

"Hi, it looks like there was a switch hidden to move the wall with phantom magic."

Double cover-up of hiding the back room with physical walls and only with illusory magic around the wall switches.

Apparently, the lord of this ruin wanted to hide this room.

"To discover a hidden door, is the boy also familiar with the art of banditry?

"How much skill are you learning at that young age!?"

"And a godson."

……

I praise Roddy and the others for doing it, but compared to the people who planted the technology on me, it's really no big deal that I remember the technology.

"No, my technology is nothing but a first-rate imitation. It was designed so that we could do it all by ourselves, from production to processing, in action, exploration and recovery, so that we could act alone for a long period of time."

"" No, I don't think that's a level at all ""

Huh? I don't think so.

I can't believe I can do anything on my own. He's instrumentally poor.

As much as the people who taught me things said it was a big deal.

"Mmm, thank you. Don't feel the difference in perception between a big eater and a big eater. It's obviously not normal to have that kind of skill."

"What the hell kind of fierce guys taught the boy stuff!?"

Modestly, it's the devil.

It's just people who aren't even busy.

Well, there's nothing I'm not thankful for.

"I knew you must be a godson to be able to do so many things!

No, that's why I'm not a godson.

"More than that, let's go inside"

We went into the room after exploring magic to make sure there were no demons in the room.

◆

"Ko, is this!?"

Mr. Ramies shouts his surprise.

Inside the hidden room was a forest of bookshelves, where narrow places and books were filled.

"Is this... a library?!?"

Yes, as Mr. Ramies said, it was a library there.

"Is this all a book!? That's a lot of space!?"

Feels like I saw it with the magic of the lights, and the size of this library is 30m across, 40m deep, etc.

That's a lot to say about the size of the libraries of previous generations.

But Mr. Ramies says it's pretty big, and I wonder if anyone reads a lot of books in this day and age?

"Is the contents of the hidden room a library? That's a pretty shabby stash room."

Mr. Roddy is whistling and fishing for books that are likely to be gold.

"Is this an ancient language book?!? Uhm, that's a language I've never seen. It's not an ancient language I know, is it? Is it the ruins of an even older civilization?"

Mr. Ramies is just obsessed with bookshelf books.

But what kind of letter is this ancient tale of Mr. Ramies, an S-rank adventurer and researcher?

Interested, I look at the shelves and look for affordable books.

"Uh, demonic ecological drawings...... I guess this is good"

Recommend reading appropriately found books to your hands, turning apart.

"Hmm, I guess this is a hypothetical paper about a demon king who should theoretically exist"

The hypothesis of being a demon, a natural enemy of a dragon, that reaches the apex of the demon ecosystem?

Examine ancient ruins, local legends, and demonic habitats to prove the existence of a demonic king who would have existed once.

That's quite an interesting story.

……

I raised my face from the book and for some reason Mr. Ramies was looking at Koch and opening his mouth with Pokhan.

"What is it, Mr. Ramies?

"You, can you read that?

Huh? Oh, speaking of which, I could normally read it.

"Yeah, I could read it."

"Just read this!

That's how Mr. Ramies offers me a book. [M]

"Uh, it says nutrition of demonic ingredients,"

Well, it's a good kiwa thing research, isn't it?

He said strong demonic meat must be nutritious.

"You can still read that ancient language!

No, because you can say you can read it, because it was my mother tongue in previous life.

"With all that skill, is it deep to the building of ancient civilization?!?"

I'm circling my eyes wondering if Mr. Liseau still has a drawer.

"I still think you're a godson to be bright in academia!

Shit, Mr. Foca's been steaming that story back again.

I'm not a godson.

"Pfft, that's a boy. But don't show me too many hidden nails. Hey heck."

Please don't be a jerk, Mr. Roddy!

"But I have these darling women who support me! You're not losing on that!

Oh, I'm fine for you, this guy.

"Can you read this more than that!? Because of the similarities and subtle differences in grammar, the content of this book is uneven! Is this another language?!? Or is there something wrong with the way I translate!?"

The cover of the book, which was offered as saying, likewise said the nutrition of demonic ingredients.

I feel like I saw it with you...

Even so, I glanced inside and I somehow understood Mr. Ramies' question.

"Oh, this is a book written all over the North."

"of the ancient language..."

Or a dialect.

No, I miss it.

I used to work in the same lab, and the people born in the north and the people born in the south got along badly, and I wondered what the hell was going on, and there was a reason that the conversation wasn't happening.

We were all surprised that conversations had been held up to now.

And, if I was immersed in nostalgic memories for a moment, Mr. Ramies was trembling with Wanna Wana.

"What an unconscion! If it is true that ancient civilizations have the concept of the state, is it not natural that words should be flattered by the land! Why didn't you notice?

With that said, Mr. Rami-Z would sit on the floor and start reading unconsciously when he snapped a book from me.

And take the paper and ink out of the magic bag. It's completely in research mode.

"Right! So this sentence will be written in dialects and local accents! Then what is the meaning of this accent..."

Without knowing the meaning of the dialect written in the book, Mr. Ramies holds his head again.

"Erm..."

I examine the genre notation on the bookshelf and look for the intended book.

"Oh, there it is. Mr. Ramies, this looks like the standard language version."

I give Mr. Ramies the nutrition of the new translation of the demonic ingredients on the bookshelf. [M]

"Oh! Is this a book written in ancient language, no standard language version! Thanks for that!

Having obtained a new translation, Mr. Ramies compares the two books with great joy.

"Oh, I know! I can see that! Well, many of the characters I've never been able to read were spells, dialects, and foreign languages in ancient civilizations!

He's literally a big shag.

Well, a common translation magic is a heart-to-heart magic that tells what the other person wants to tell you, so a translation of a letter becomes another genre of magic.

I had a hard time translating demon letters, too.

"Oh, my God, the devil's guide is not at that rate of exploration."

Mr. Liseau looks at Mr. Ramies in a frightened manner.

"Well, it's time for a good time. Do you want to reveal the night in this library today?"

On instructions from Mr. Liseau, with the exception of Mr. Ramies and Mr. Foca, we'll make sure the library is secure.

"There was no sign of demons in the library or outside the room with exploratory magic"

"I've checked with these eyes, but there was no such thing as a mimic or a floor eater."

"So is this one. You're lucky the demons on this side don't move."

Sure, if the demon stays in one place and doesn't move, it would be greatly appreciated when camping.

"Nevertheless, if you're going to sleep by the book, you can't set the fire on fire."

Uh, maybe it's just a little inconvenient in that sense.

Perhaps it is fire-resistant, but if it ignites indoors, there is a danger that the security golem will move and attack.

We decided to have a lonely dinner with a portable meal.

"Go ahead, it's just soup I put back in hot water because it won't burn the fire"

I make a magical, simple, dried meat soup that serves hot water using water magic.

Well, I can't simmer, so I just really stuck it in hot water.

"The magic of serving hot water is not convenient. I envy your sister."

Mr. Foca seems interested in the magic of serving hot water.

"I'll tell you what it is, won't I? If you can use healing magic, Mr. Foca will be able to remember it at this much leeway."

"Oh, is that good? That kind of rare knowledge of magic is very valuable, isn't it?

"No, magic to this extent is not uncommon either. Some people just don't remember because they should learn more magic."

"Well, is that what it is? I thought wizards were simple magic exercises."

In fact, young people unexpectedly don't remember the magic convenient to life.

Because if you go out of your way to remember, you can buy magic items that work the same way and you can use them right away.

It was about housewives and old people who remembered such magic.

"Heavenly Demon Guidance... doesn't seem to work yet. He's eating first!

……

Mr. Liseau calls, but Mr. Ramies was obsessed with deciphering the book.

Speaking of which, the times I lived in are ancient.

I'm surprised books written in normal language are treated in ancient languages.

"... ah"

And that's when I realized something.

"Maybe..."

After I finish my meal, I go through the genre written on the bookshelf.

"I'm biased by the books I keep quite a bit"

Thank you. The contents of this library have a lot of demon-related books.

Maybe this site is a laboratory for studying demons.

"There was."

What I was looking for was a bookshelf with books on history.

"Here it is..."

Here, there may be books with history after my death, such as the collapse of the inner ocean and the sky continent.

I mean, a chance to learn about a history I don't know.

As always, all I have on my bookshelf were books of demon-related history, but I discover books in them that were written later than the days I lived in.

"The white scourge that appeared more than the other side...... King of Warcraft, the golden claw that crushed the war? Something abstract. Let's look at the other books."

I'm going to open up a few more books and find out about history and the existence of a white disaster after I die.

And what I found out...

"Hi, do you mean that a powerful warcraft appeared in the midst of the battle against the demon and became obnoxious to fight?

I'm going to read more. [M]

"For Sole created a new sea in the earth, and neither the cause of the devil's guide, nor the cause of the devil's man, who crushed the earth in the sky..."

Hmm? Could this be about the inner ocean or the sky continent?

I would like you to explain it from a slightly more objective perspective.

Somehow, many books with later eras were written, either from a subjective point of view or strangely emotionally.

Well, I guess I've been told that the author who wrote the book was very excited.

In the meantime, with regard to the inner ocean and the sky continent, I wonder if you can tell that it was created because of the intensifying war.

Then maybe the Warcraft Forest was born for the same reason.

But what is this white disaster?

I do know some white demons, but I was wondering if they were strong enough to be a disaster?

Is it a powerful demon lurking somewhere in this world, or a demon from the demon world?

It just seems to me that this demon known as the White Disaster has had a huge impact on the battle against demons.

And the last book, at the end of a book written about the research that has been carried out in this laboratory, contained this description.

"White disaster, successful collection of parts of its body. With this, we will be able to obtain the means to combat the white scourge. Even demons will not be our enemies."

Um, apparently the purpose of this institute was to explore the means to combat the white scourge?

"Cu?"

And if I was obsessed with the book, Moffmoff clung to me at my feet.

"With that said, you're a white demon, too."

But, well, there's no reason for him to be a white disaster.

Because it's so small, and it doesn't bother me at all.

"Gazigazi"

"Ah, don't bite my pants susso!

"Cuun!"

And when he slapped him on the head with his petin, he showed his belly that Mohmov was forgiven.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's not a white disaster after all.

I don't see any wild shards.
