Chapter 78: During the day of pest control

(I don’t know if pest can be use for animals like bear or just insect, but it was the closest word for things that detroy farmer havest)

“What kind of creatures is honey devourer?” (Arge)

“It is a monster resembling a bear, the staple food is honey and insects. Because it also eats bees, it is the most abominable demon for this village specialized in honey” (Akisame)

“Wafu, Kuro get it! That’s is a business enemy!” (Kuro)

“I understand what you want to say, but it’s a little different.” (Akisame)

Kuro-san says what she wants to say. If that demon eat honey and bees from Rencia, you can say that it was an enemy for this village business.

However, a business enemy is a bit different, they have competite on market, but this demon is simple robber.

“It’s usually not attack human, but It hate disturbing when it eat meal, it’s not carnivorous, but its nails and fangs are pretty sharp.” (Kuzuha)

Kuzuha-chan explains to supplement what Akisame-san said. She is such an attentive child.

“In addition, It only eat honey so its fat and meat are sweet, it is a high-grade food ingredient.” (Kuzuha)

“Wa~fu, let bring it home and have Iris-chan to cook it” (Kuro)

“Iris-san can cook something like that?” (Arge)

“Well, I don’t know, but she probably will do something if I bring it!” (Kuro)

“I wonder about that” (Arge)

And we keep talking with no purpose while we wait for the target demon.

Right now, we are a bit far from the flower garden to take honey.

We can guess the general direction in which the honey devourer will be coming from what village leader tell us. I, Kuzuha-chan and Kuro-san are hiding in the grass that can watch the garden.

Habotan-san and Akisame-san continue to inspect Rencia, we are a group called pest control.

“Wa~~fu, I’m bored” (Kuro)

Although we are hiding, Kuro-san is unable to calm down. She keep moving around and around, she rocks the grass. She is almost like a dog who has lost sight of a toy.

On the other hand, Kuzuha-chan is quiet. She looks as if a wolf waiting for the prey, she doesn’t move or talk or make any sounds.

“Kuzuha-chan, you are calm.” (Arge)

“When hunting, the most important is hiding your presence to observe on the surroundings” (Kuzuha)

Kuzuha-chan seems a little shy, as she’s smiling one of her tail waving.

We are already in a standby state, and we can move at any time. We only have to wait for the other party to come.

… Certainly, as Kuro says, I am bored.

Because we can not move until the other party comes, we have to wait in grass. Even though it can’t be helped, keep watching is bored

Actually I am sleeping for about half the time. Kuzuha-chan is watching over, so there is no problem.

After I keep repeat sleep and awake in a few hours, we begin to chat.

Kuzuha-chan suddenly raises her face while chatting with us. Her ears is moving slightly.

“They came.”

With her muttering words, I will also be more concerned. Kuro-san is still as carefree as ever.

From the opposite direction to the flower garden, the honey smell and the odor come. I guess it smells like beeswax.

“It almost looks like a bear, or perhaps it is really a bear?”

It almost is a bear.

It walks on four, the brown fur covered the whole body. If it stand up it will be nearly 3 meters tall.

It walking around and scoop honey with it sharp claw from forepaw. Its eyes are bloodshot and looks like it’s very excited.

It isn’t just a bear because it can stretch tongue like an anteater. Maybe it use that tongue to lick insects and eat honey with that tongue.

There are about 8 animals. Coming straight to flower garden.

“How should I say this … Have they been really hungry that make they are on a rampage?” (Arge)

“It is strange. Because honey devourer is rather go alone, they never go with a group like that, and they seems strangely excited” (Kuzuha)

“Wafu, I just have to catch them!!” (Kuro)

“Ah, wait … Kuro-san!?” (Kuzuha)

She doesn’t listen to Kuzuha-chan. Kuro-san jumps out of the grass. In this case, I don’t know which side is the wild animal.

Kuro-san is running in front of those honey devourers without fear of the imminent flock.

What on earth is she going to do? And It came the next moment I thought so.

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!” (Warwick skill [E])

A grand scream, no, it strong enough to think that it might break the eardrum?

Violent big roar is echoing through the surroundings.

“Umm … This is a roar for hunting, a wolfkin’s skill to make the prey fear and stop moving …!” (Kuzuha)

Her roar seems to have echoed in the ear, and Kuzuha-chan explains it while swaying her head. Even for me, I still think that roar hurt my ears.

The surrounding grass become noisy, as the Honey devourers start gather around Kuro-san instead of escape in fear.

“Wafu, what?”

Kuro-san is suprised as she said in a loud voice.

The claws of the Honey devourer were swung down towards her head.

“U~ wa!?”

Kuro-san lowers her head in a panic. With a forward rotation, she escaped by the side of the Honey devourer un-scratched.

“How can they still move …! Usually, they will stop moving!” (Kuro)

“This itn’t normal” (Kuzuha)

Something is wrong here. The Honey devourers are excited. They don’t fear Kuro-san roar and they attack in group.

I do not have time to think about the reason now. As for now, Kuro-san is still in the middle of the enemies.

As Kuzuha-chan use her skill, two of her tails is seperate from her and become two clones. Bushiha-chan and Kuzuha-chan are ready to cast the magic.

“Kuro-san is still in the middle of those demons, I can’t shoot the magic …!”

“Well, I’ll stop them, Blood Arms, ‘​​Chain’.”

Lightly cut my fingers and let blood flow. After that I just make a chain with vampire ability as usual. If I can stop their movements, Kuzuha-chan will be easy to attack and Kuro-san can easy to escape. And that plan was effective as expected.

Blood chains catch honey devourers and restrain them.

… They are still is on a rampage.

The reason is unknown, but it seems that they are still very excited. Even with the blood chain dig into their body, honey devourers still rampage and struggle.

It’s not like they can break my chain, but it seems obviously abnormal.What on earth make the honey devourer angry so far?

“Triple whirlwind sickle“ (三重鎌鼬: Mie kamaitachi)

Kazuha chan’s wind magic multiply to triple flying toward Honey devourer.

The whirlwind sickle cut through its fur and muscles beneath it. Its power is strong enough to make blood burst out like raining, a bright red storm occurs around Kuro-san. (I don’t know if burst out is the right word, what I want is a word for blood flow out of body like when we shoot bullet)

… She (used to) shot (past tense) such a magic at me.

When we first met, I remember the fact that Kuzuha-chan shot magic at me.

If I had no magic resistance, it would have been pretty terrible. I am glad that I heard Loli-gramp’s recommendation when I was incarnating.

“Wafu, Kuzuha-chan is amazing!” (Kuro)

Fluttering the frills skirt, Kuro-san went against that Honey devourer. She bent her fingers gently, she put her hands like scratch on the neck of the honey devourer.

Instead of striking, there was a tearing sound. Its body and head are cleanly divided.

“As a wolfkin, her Power is usually strong.” (Kuzuha) (Power is skill/ability name so it must leave as Cap)

“Wa~fu! I will go on and on!” (Kuro)

In contrast to Kuzuha-chan who attacks with magic, Kuro-san goes by claw rather than bare hands. She doesn’t bother the blood getting her clothes dirty, hunt honey devourers by crushing their head with a blow or break their neck.

With less than a minute, the honey devourers were all annihilated. This is almost what Kuro-san and Kuzuha-chan did. I only have an easy task of stopping movement with a chain.

“The situation was strange, but they weren’t that much a threat” (Kuzuha)

“Wafu, but the people in this village are certainly in trouble” (Kuro)

“That’s right. In the village I saw that the man who try resist honey devourer seems to have trouble faced it” (Arge)

“Are we outside the standards?” (Kuzuha)

Two beastkin and a vampire. I am given a high ability like a joke as a benefit of reincarnation, and Kuzuha-chan and Kuro-san are probably really strong among beastkin.

Rather than the demons being weak, it is better to think that their opponents was bad.

“Anyway, shall we go back?” (Arge)

“Wafu, I understand!” (Kuro)

“Okay, I understand!” (Kuzuha)

I accompanied the two and we leave the place.

Kuro-san came back with Honey Devourer’s meat and Habotan-san had a delicate face, but pest subjugation quest was successful without any problems.
