328 318 stories A new kind of demon?

Leave the inn and stretch your back.

The inn I stayed in Hatada Village was fine, but I lose to the morning bread in Hatau Village Inn.

"I already miss that flavor"

"Hmm? What's up?

"I can't forget Mr. Salifah's morning bread"

Mr. Druid smiles at my words and strokes his head.

"For the time being, be patient with black bread"

Sure, black bread is delicious with black bread.

It is delicious, especially if eaten soaked in milk soup.

But I like fluffy bread.

I hear Mr. Druid likes black bread a lot, too.

"Go."

"Yeah, it's a real trip today."

It took me two days to get here to Hathada village unplanned.

And carried.

So it's a true journey from today on.

We need to keep our heads together.

"You're doing it again."

Following Mr. Druid's gaze, disturbances in the square.

Too many people are really short tempered.

If you're anxious, you can move and make money.

Can't that also be done in the way of obsession?

If so, it's too much trouble.

"When I leave here, it's in the woods for about 20 days, but is there anything missing?

"It's only been two days since I left Hathau Village, so it's okay"

Walk through the square and down the boulevard towards the gate.

Almost there, I saw the vigilantes and adventurers gathering.

I'm a little nervous about what happened.

"Is something wrong?

"Oh, you should make sure."

Mr. Druid speaks to the adventurer who was nearby.

"Excuse me. Is something wrong?

"What? You don't know that?

"Yeah, do you know anything about that?

A few around the adventurer I spoke to turn this way.

Every face has a bit of a strong expression.

Apparently something really happened.

Can we leave by the end of the day?

"The demons who were supposed to be in the back of the woods have moved."

"Devil's move?

"Oh, I wish I was just a demon, a demon with enormous powers."

A demon with enormous magic moves?

Traveling could be dangerous.

Mr. Druid also has a crease between his eyebrows.

"What kind of demon was it?

"I hear that was a pretty big sarpent"

Big surpent...... hmm?

"Saw a lot of them moving toward the king's capital."

Eh......

When I looked at Mr. Druid, I could see that his cheeks were a bit drawn.

I guess it's about those kids.

"Besides, the demon that was with Sarpent is the problem."

Other demons?

There was no such thing, was there?

... Could it be slime?

"He was leading the way in everything, giving instructions to a large number of Sarpents."

Leading the way are the big Sarpents that me and Mr. Druid were on, right?

Instructions?

That's more demonic than that... maybe me and Mr. Druid treat demons?

But the demon is like a demon that hasn't been identified before.

"Unconfirmed demon?

Mr. Druid continues his conversation with the adventurer with an indescribable expression.

"Oh, he had a people-like upper body on the lower part of the snake,"

"" Huh?

Oh, I got a voice.

"Oh, wouldn't you be surprised? I've never seen a demon like that before. Is that why a new species was born, or did the king of the Sarpents in the back of the woods move out? I hear it was your turn."

Where do I stick this in?

Surely if you look at it from a distance, does it look like a person's upper body to the lower body of a snake?

And your turn?

If it were indeed me and Mr. Druid, I wonder if it would look that way.

I know that means you had witnesses, but I want you to take a closer look if you want to.

No, is it also a problem that people are traveling on top of the serpent?

In this case, should I be glad I couldn't?

"You're scared. Are you still nearby?

Mr. Druid is listening to the information with a slightly disturbing look.

Exactly, but if you look closely, your cheeks are tingling.

"I've been checking since last night, but it looks like he's decided he's not around here"

"Really? Then maybe it's okay to leave for the journey. Thank you."

"So you're going in this dangerous situation?

"In a hurry. Thank you."

Gently lowering his head, he heads to the gate.

The gatekeeper was also stopped because of an unidentified demon.

"I know, because if I don't leave by the end of the day, I won't be able to make it to business."

"Really?

The worrying look of the gatekeeper.

I can't wait.

"Be careful. I may not be here yet, but I can't be sure, because the person I witnessed is from Hattata Village."

"Yes, I'll be careful. Thank you."

I managed to convince him to leave the village.

I bow my head to the gatekeepers many times before walking down the village road towards the village of Hathahi.

Walking down the village road, we encounter the sights of vigilantes and adventurers many times.

Each time, when I gave an explanation and kept walking for about an hour, people finally got far.

"Huh, Mr. Druid"

"... what?

"We demons, it's our turn."

"Plump"

Mr. Druid blows it out.

What I was putting up with was that it finally seemed impossible.

"Fuck you, Mr. Druid, don't laugh."

I feel sorry for you, but you make me laugh.

I don't think it's really bad that they were watching me or that they gave me fear with it.

but a new kind of demon or a king who was behind the woods?

It may have seemed that way from a distance, but it makes me laugh because I know the truth.

"I almost blew it when I heard the story."

I know I've put up with it a couple of times.

Mr. Druid looked tough because he was face-to-face with the adventurers.

I put up with myself looking down.

I'm glad I didn't see it.

"But that was a great story."

"Yeah. Is that okay?

"Mm-hmm. Sounds like a forest in Hattata Village, a new kind of demon in Hattada Village for the massive movement of Sarpents."

I don't know, I'm starting to feel like it's not okay.

Information will be exchanged.

"For the time being, I guess both villages are on alert"

"I feel so sorry for you."

"Right."

With Mr. Druid and his gaze, both smile bitterly.

"Well, I'll probably calm down in a while,"

I'm sure if there weren't any more sightings, I'd be fine.

"And you were being watched,"

"Right, well, you carried me this close."

"Right. Oh, it's time to go to the back of the woods. Because I want to get Sola and the others out."

"Are you okay with people's signs?

Explore the signs as you walk from the village road to the back of the woods.

There are no signs of people. I feel signs of demons pretty far away, but I don't particularly see them coming this way.

"Sounds fine, so I'll get the Solas out"

When I open the bag lid, four pop up.

Looks like both Flem and Sol are awake today.

"Everybody, we're going to start our full journey today. Say hello to the village of Hathahi."

"Puffy ~"

"Pefu."

"Teriyu ~"

"Nya-yay."

Okay, let's go.

Frem and Sol jump on top of Ciel on Mr. Druid's words.

"You guys, walk a little on our own."

"Pei."

"Teriyu"

"Ha, Ciel, I'm sorry."

"Nya-yay."

"Haha. Thank you, Ciel. Let's go, guys."
