36 Episode 35: Demon Hunting

Apparently a two-horned demon was found in the forest of Titis-

The rumor began to flow in the city of Ishka shortly after I became known as a Dragoon.

Rare As I have said, the demons are human opponents, and the horns that grew from the forehead are super-attractive items. One hundred or two hundred people who have changed their eyes in the news of the discovery of a demon who made two of them will not be heard.

I am one of them.

But the reason I changed my eye color was with others.

"That girl, right ..."

I remember the face of a two-horned girl caught by the King of Flies.

After that, I stepped into the forest, but never saw the girl.

It's just a vast forest. From the fact that there was no information about the demon to date, the girl's dwelling must have something like a barrier to avoid human eyes.

That day, it was a miracle that I met him at the fly's nest.

I'll never see you again-I was thinking like that, but I'm not going to hear you in this way.

"Well, what to do?"

There is no obligation to help separately. And if you help a demon and fight against other humans, you will lose the confidence of the clans you are accumulating.

Given that, the act of helping her is harmful beyond futility.

However.

Yes, but.

It isn't clear that the person you helped becomes unhappy.

The girl who was rescued from the goblin's nest was later killed by a thief in a village-who would be happy with that story.

I want you to be happy because you helped me, and that's not a strange story. At least I don't want to hear the consequences of being unhappy.

After all-

"It's a story about not muddy my few deeds."

Remembering the satisfaction of helping a girl, I decide my way.

Demon Clan's reputation-yes, yeah, let's say that it wasn't to help the girl, but to scramble for "" and hostile.

It's not unusual for adventurers to scramble for monsters that drop valuable items and sometimes develop into battle.

...... Well, this will reduce your reputation, but if you do, you should raise it. In the first place, it is a clan created for the purpose of returning to the guild, I am not so particular.

While thinking of such a thing, the door of the room was beaten three times.

When the door was opened, the innkeeper was standing and announcing the visitor in a blunt voice.

When I heard the name of the visitor, I suddenly frowned.

It was an unexpected name.

◆◆◆

"Isn't it after a long time, Sora. Visit without warning, sorry."

It was Fyodor, a thread-thick slaver who bowed out of exaggeration.

The other day, I was a member of the "Union" who witnessed the duel between Lars and me.

After winning Lars and enslaving Luna Maria, there was no apparent contact, but ... A thousand merchant slave merchants couldn't go on their own without any help. Definitely, it's a bad thing.

――While that caution may not have appeared on your face, Fyodor narrowed his narrow eyes. Probably laughed.

Bloody smoke `` Actually to Sora-No, there is a request to have Clan's Sword take over ''

"Is a" union "where even a crying child is silent, a new clan just made yesterday?"

There will be as many clans as you have. When asked, Fedor returned a strange laugh that could be heard here and there.

Revenge "Surely, the day has not been long since the Blood Sword was formed, but its name is already roaring all over Ishka. Murdered a griffon for an old woman wishing her grandson, a banshee screaming every night in a communal grave for a poor orphanage, and on Lake Toya uncovered Scula, who had been transformed into a human being, and had been captured for innocence. He rescued a young man, and at the Atend Pass, he slashed the crazy Werewolf, long feared by the inhabitants, under a sword. "

"... I know."

"Information is a weapon. We always collect information. Let's do nothing without gathering information about Onito that would overwhelm the sixth-class adventurers at the level one."

Fiddle laughs here.

But the slave merchant immediately laughed so as to hate wasting time and stared at me.

"Sora will be in your ears soon. A demon has been discovered in the forest of Titis."

"That's right. According to the story I heard, it was" likely "that a demon was found ..."

"It's true, if the union has already seen it three times."

"Already? That means-"

"As you might have guessed, we started to move before the rumor, just the day the duel between Sora and Lars took place. And came to the Union to sell that information. ''

Hear it and remember.

Speaking of which, Fyodor came to the guild to be a witness and said that he had a short breath and had trouble going out.

Is that because he got the information of the demon?

If you've been following the demon since then, you've probably got a lot of information. They may also have a rough idea of where the house is.

Then Fedor continued to speak as if he had read my inner heart.

"From the three discoveries and the escape route at that time, we already know the approximate location of the demon home, but it is located in a deep area. As you know, The territory is the nest of monsters, and the people who send in to capture the demon have never or once become food for the monsters. I want to do it. "

Sky "Hm. If you are from, you can ignore the evil beasts and go straight to where the demon will be."

"That's right. Of course, I'll bounce you off. You can also take care of a new slave. In fact, I just got a very interesting slave recently."

"I would definitely like to ask you a story, but before that, one. Is it OK that this is the mission completed when we have the" Union "handout?"

Is it just a mobilizer, or is it expected as a force?

Fyodor's request was the former.

Hunter "It is professional to capture the demon. If the demon is not a live capture, the value of the horn will be halved, so there is no need to bother Sora."

"What is it that you have to be alive? Oh, rude.

"I don't mind. As you know, the horns of the demon are rare magic items, but the horns from the living demon and the horns from the dead demon are of great value. If the former contains a hundred magical powers, then the latter is at most thirty, but it's still worth it. "

"Hou, is that so?"

Advanced "Yes. Therefore, it is a common practice for a demon to catch live and take a horn. Normally, a demon dies when a horn is broken, but it is possible to extend the life with magic or Then the broken horns will resurrect over time. "

"... It would be a money tree if it worked out."

"Yes, but the second and subsequent ones will not be of much value. In the previous example, they would not reach ten out of a hundred, at most four or five. The horns of the demon on the market Usually this is it. Still, the aristocrats fight for money, and the demon is nothing more than catching alive.

"Okay, so if you're not used to fighting demons, nothing else is in the way.

"Is it okay to say that you can accept this request, this time?"

"Of course, it's not as daunting as it is to refuse the request from the union."

They are just selling quarrels to the guild. We can't turn the "union" to the enemy here.

If the role was just to move, there was no reason to go against it.

The place is deep in Titis. There is no magical beast garden wherever it happens.

Hunter I prayed in my heart so that the demon professionals would not be injured.
