143 139 stories Demonic change?

Entering the town, I was in a rush somewhat.

Wondering, looking around.

"There was information that we had been attacked."

Mr. Druid told me what was going on around him.

"So..."

When someone is attacked near town, all sorts of rumors spread at once.

It varies from worrying about whether the thing you attacked will come to town, to worrying about your family outside the gate at work, to what it is that you attacked.

I hope it's just rumors, but we need to be careful because suspected demons can create confusion.

"With that said, you know amazing people. Oh, but is it the relationship that crushed that organization?

"Uh, you have that, too"

I knew you'd stand out.

Still, how can you be a guarantor without saying anything?

"Could you possibly go to King's Capital or the surrounding towns?

"Yes, I plan to go to the town next to Wangdu once. How did you figure that out?

We're not talking about where we're going.

Did I say something to make you realize?

"Guarantor."

"What?"

Guarantor.

Was that the one that was increasing on its own?

"The Wang capital and its surroundings can be carefully examined when entering the town. Depending on who you hit, well, there's a lot going on."

A lot?

"But if that's all the people are guaranteeing, fine. I'll be right through."

All sorts of things, maybe talking... or something?

The gatekeeper did that?

"I have a strange look on my face, but I think the closer I get to Wang Du, the more problematic gatekeepers I'll come across."

"... I don't like that"

"Hahaha, Ivy's fine"

...? Oh, the guarantor?

"Captain Ogt is a legend among adventurers."

Is he that amazing?

"Captain Barksby seems to have established a good relationship with royalty officials by destroying the organization."

Yes, it is.

Oh, speaking of which, you saw a flashy letter with decorations, and you were sighing like hell.

A good relationship?

... Well, the captain will be fine.

"Mr. Logliffe of Gilmouth has been active since he was an adventurer, and there are many adventurers who admire him."

Yes, it is.

Mr. Gilmouth, who was all lit up about his wife, is also an amazing man.

"There's no fool to sell a fight to the three of us. Well, if the head of the gatekeeper in charge isn't crazy, he'll be fine."

Crazy, that's a great explanation.

Still, I wonder if you put your name on it for that.

If that's the case, if you tell me... I might say no.

'Cause I'm sorry.

Although Mr. Borolda and the others had read his personality, it might have also been read by Mr. Gilmouth and the captain of the regiment.

Otherwise, you won't be a guarantor in confidence, will you?

Next time I see you, I'll be sure to thank you.

"It's gonna be okay, okay? Because there are many decent people."

Puzzled by the thought, Mr. Druid is in a panic.

Did you even have a worried look on your face?

"It's okay. Where is Mr. Druid now?

"Ah... I had to go to the guild and tell you what happened"

Guild?

I feel like I just passed by.

"Somehow, I'm here about Ivy"

"What... I'm tired. I'm sure."

"Hahaha, leave that to say. Is Ivy in the square?

"Yes, I plan on doing that. We'll take the place and then we'll go back to the woods."

"In the woods... I think you'll be fine, but be careful. It's possible Grubal is still nearby."

Yes, Grubbal!

"Um, what kind of demon is it?

"You don't know?

"Yes, I've never even seen it in a book."

"Right. He's grown stronger in the last year or two, and his personality has become more ferocious."

That's what's happening.

We need to get more and more new information.

Let's remember.

"Gulbal has a big horn at the tip of his nose and his legs aren't that fast, but he's strong. When you were attacked, you came from everywhere and there was no escape."

Big horn on the head of the nose.

Is it moving in the herd from anywhere?

Or have you been gathered by the smell of fortunate incense?

"Do you act in flocks?

"That's a little bit of a change in the ecosystem, too, and I'm not sure. I wasn't a herd before."

"Really? Thank you."

"No, but either way, you're weaker than that kid."

That girl is about Ciel.

Even so, it would be dangerous if they came in numbers.

I may not be able to move freely because I have Sora protected now.

"Okay. But I'm worried."

"Right. Oh, take this."

From the bag Mr. Druid had, he took out three sachets containing something.

I just received it, but what is it?

"It's a hot bag, you know?

"I know if it's a hot bag"

When you hit the area around the face of the object, the powder comes from the inside.

The effect should vary depending on the type of powder.

Try to keep your nose close to the mouth of the bag.

"Ah, you better stop. Because if you inhale a little, your nose hurts."

The hand that had the sachet in Mr. Druid's words stops.

Good.

I almost inhaled it.

I guess pain means chili.

"Because if you hit me in the face, I'll buy you time to escape. Well, if they come in numbers, they can't escape."

"Thank you. But is that okay?

"No problem. It's something you can make right away."

I made it too and had it, but you're hanging up.

Let's make a good number next time.

"Okay, I'll take it"

"Oh, I'll see you later. Be careful."

"Yes, thank you"

One head down to Mr. Druid and head to the square.

Walk a little and then look back and see how he is.

Seems like he's used to walking a lot.

"Good."

I lost my right arm, so I was hoping it was my arm, but his arm was my left.

So I was a little horrified.

If I were a strong-arm, I'd be pretty much in the way of my life.

Mr. Gilmouth was just a little relieved of the matter, too.

"Well, go to the square, pick up the place, then it's the woods"

I'm a little scared of Gulbal though.

Ciel and Sola... yes, we need to find out more about Sola.

Sola to Sola?

... Let's ask him if he can change his name.

And you split... split.

Do you think there's ever going to be more?

Or will new kids split up and increase?

Hahaha, let's not think about what's ahead of Sola and the others.

Scary. Scary.

"There was."

Found the square a little further!

The square of this ol' town is also huge.

There are two entrances and exits, but does that make any sense?

"What's up?

Looking inside from the entrance and exit of the square, one man called out to him.

"Yes, there are two entrances and exits, so I thought there was something there."

"This one has a lot of teams of 3 or more adventurers. That's a small team of adventurers."

"That's right. Thank you."

"Oh, it's okay to be free, especially over here."

"Yes."

Say thank you to the man and head to another square.

The proximity of a large team of adventurers is often noisy.

Especially when someone sings drunk.

Enter the square and look around.

With that said, there doesn't seem to be a janitor in Alltown Square.

There is no one at the entrance or exit.

Oh, but there's a cabin, so are the vigilantes coming to see it?

Good.

There was something about the tent, so I can rest assured that you will stay.

Walk around the square a little and see what the tent looks like and how people are doing.

In the tent, I want to get Sola out for you, and of course the new kid.

So we need to be careful where we put up the tent.

There was a moderate size between the tent of a woman and a man who looked like a solo trip, so I speak to the two of them and ask them for permission.

I got a pleasant acceptance, so I'll set up a tent.

"All right, over"

Go inside and put only what you need in one bag.

Put the hot bag you received in a place where it can be removed immediately.

Hope you don't meet Gulbal.
