480 Investigation team in an out-of-the-box forest

"Wow, Big. How'd it go over there?

Join this investigation team, it's time for five years.

Tabir, who is relatively often with him in the same period, asks as he gives him a glass containing alcohol.

"The story is that it's going to move over there. You've been drinking since daylight."

Though it has a special exorcism, it would be a little too alarming.

Well, I'll drink, too.

Drink the liquor you receive.

Sort of tastes like it.

"It's not a problem. Longer than that, you'll be in the advance party."

"Right. You can take it easy on the guy who comes later."

Now our investigation team is acting in two parts.

Our advance team is heading into the village to investigate and confirm the situation.

It's our job to make sure our comrades are ready to move quickly.

For now, I don't like the advance party because it's a pain in the ass.

"Captain, you can't disobey orders, so you have no choice. We're on the move, too, so are we ready?

"There."

If you look at the one Tabir points to, all the advance party's baggage was already packed.

"Exactly. Tabir's a fast worker like this."

To my words, I shrug my shoulders drinking the liquor in my glass.

Except I can't let go of the booze, which is perfect.

"Hey, what happened to the problem in the meantime?

To Tabir's words, it fits with the gaze that stares at this one.

"I got the prince to fix it"

"Right. As usual."

This fact-finding team is made by the Prince's instructions.

The job is also an order from the prince, not a formal order from the royal family.

Not formally, but an order from the prince.

There's nothing someone can do to stop me.

Besides, the prince won't stop us from doing what we do.

As a result, things happen that are a little too much or a little too much wings off.

At one point, one of the investigators killed two people in the village during an investigation.

Exactly in a hurry, but what a prince to protect and no blame.

I was surprised by that, but all the investigative crew thanked the prince.

"What's more, this case is about the magic team, is it true?

"Apparently so."

"Is that true? You lied to me before, didn't you?

Tabir drinks up to my word.

"This time it looks really magic formation related. Apparently, some people have already lost their minds by the magic team. And the dead."

Was it true?

That sucks.

"Oh, is this job off?"

The prince's orders are manifold.

Many of them have a lot of easy work to do.

If you say it's working on the Prince's orders, don't gather information right away.

But a magic formation-related case really needs to be investigated.

This must be a pain in the ass.

"Was it Hataka Village? A princess or over there?

"I checked, but I don't know."

So there is a possibility of neutrality, and it may not be cooperative in the investigation?

"Ahhh, I knew this job was off! Worst!"

Stick the empty cup out in front of Tabir.

Put the liquor in - just in case, the glass will be filled with liquor.

"You're gonna drink a big one, too."

"Can you do it without a drink?"

The two of us toast the cup with the kachin.

As I was satisfied with the taste of liquor through my throat for now, I saw a fellow rushing here in a hurry.

Looks like something happened.

"Oh my god!

It was Walbi, a junior in this investigative team, who rushed here.

"What happened?

Breathed Walbi starts to whisper when he looks around.

"Me and Chippi were investigating the surrounding woods, and I saw three adventurers."

Three adventurers?

You're an adventurer from Hataka Village?

"When I was about to see how things were going with Chippi, two vigilantes showed up in a panic. Looks like we were looking for some adventurers."

I kind of have a bad feeling about it.

Don't hit it.

"You must have been in a hurry, I was talking on guard around you, and your voice was a little loud."

So you're saying you were in a hurry?

Wow, I really don't want to hear that.

"The magic formations that were hidden in the village were activated again, and those who hung on to the technique were raging in the village. I hear a few of them have gone out into the woods."

"Huh? Really?

"Wait, calm down. Isn't that a trap?

Tabir asks Warbi with a calm voice in my hurry.

"I thought about that possibility at first, but it doesn't look like you're lying to me because of how the vigilantes are doing."

"What's the pitch?

"I'm going to the captain's to explain. And..."

"You still have it!

Walbi's shoulder sways in my voice.

"Calm down."

Tabir pounds my shoulder.

Tabir and Walbi are good, because they're strong.

But I'm not as strong as the two of us.

So I don't like it.

You think we'll fight?

"So there's something else?

When Tabir asked Warbi, Warbi saw me a little but opened his mouth.

"If the vigilantes and adventurers were discussing whether we should continue our investigation of the forest, three adventurers rushed from the back of the forest and said we should pull it up once to the village because the magic formation was activated in the cave and the demons there could have become ferocious"

"" What? "

Demons getting ferocious in the magic formation?

I know demons become ferocious with garbage.

Even the magic team?

... With that said, it's like the captain was talking about that...

"When they heard about the adventurers, they immediately turned back to the village. Looks like they heard this story over there, too. 'Cause when I tried to get back over here, I got eyes on the other guy."

That means you failed in a way, but that's something you can't help.

I just heard about the demon getting ferocious. Why?

"Yes, I'm fine. There are demons."

Yes, calm down.

We investigators get a special demon removal from the prince.

This is an awesome magic item and no demon comes by.

So it's okay.

If you have the exorcism you received.

"No, it seems that the exorcism didn't work for some demons that were made ferocious by garbage"

Huh?

"Really?"

Grab Tabir's shoulder with your hand.

He nodded one when he looked at me.

"Oh, it was in a report that other investigation teams looked into. You shouldn't be relieved to hear there have been a few similar reports."

You're lying.

"Hey, get together."

My body trembles at the captain's voice.

"You heard from Warbi, didn't you?

"" Yes ""

"See if that one works, see how it goes"

Huh?

Even though there are fierce demons in the woods?

"Aren't you going to the village right away?

Tabir gets very close to the captain.

"There are fierce demons in the woods."

"It hasn't been confirmed yet. I can't throw that information out of the trap."

Right.

That's right.

... but why do you need to circulate such false information?

"That's true, though."

Tabir, I know you're scared, but calm down.

Hmm?

Are you scared of Tabir?

This guy?

"Excuse me."

See Tabir back beside me.

I've never seen this guy scared.

You sure about that?

"The fierce demon is going to be incredibly strong."

Tabir talks in my ear.

My body trembles at the content.

I see, if you knew that or even Tabir would you have been scared?

"I can't show my weakness to the investigation team over there. Don't forget to mud the prince's face with our actions."

Though it wouldn't make sense because he died before applying mud.

Ah, but wait here for a few more hours than the captain decides?

It sucks.

"Hey, Tabir."

"What?

"Are there other characteristics of the ferocious demon?

He said, "No sign of it."

Chippi, who was there to report to the captain, comes to us and says:

"Any sign?

Walbi's complexion gets worse.

"Chippi, is that true?

Chippi nodding over and over to my words.

What, you think the signs are faint?

Then there's something you can't get away with...

"In the meantime, let's gear up. And check your weapons."

Everyone starts to snort at Tabir's calm voice and prepare to fight each other.

When I look at the captain, he's talking about something with an assistant with a slightly blue face.

"Ha, I want to get out of the woods fast"

Two hours while tension persists.

It's time for the limit.

"Are you all right?

Turning his gaze to his voice, Tabir is looking around.

Has this guy settled down yet?

I was scared earlier......

"How far is it from here to the village?

Tabir leaning his neck against my words.

Why are you questioning me?

I'd like to get to a safe place soon.

"That's less than two hours. Probably."

Less than 2 hours...

"Hey, it's time, Captain -"

"Bye-bye!"

A low chirping that accidentally echoed through the woods.

"Geez!"

"Wow."

"Hih."

"Hmm?"

I look around, but I can't figure out where the ringing sounded in the woods.

"What? What the fuck?

"We're going to the village, act fast!

I rush to the captain's voice to hold my luggage.

Come on, it's heavy.

I want to leave you, but I can't do that.

Come on, come on.

We head to the village as fast as we can run.

After a while, it sounds retrogressive and heard.

If you're stirring up fear about it, there's another investigative squad face-to-face ahead of you.

"Ah."

"Ah."

The captains gaze at each other, but hustle to the village silently.

"When I went to the village, there were people waiting for me. My grief."

From the diagonal rear to the left, I heard a small voice.

It was too small to listen to the content, but I was curious, so I turned my gaze.

"What's up?

Tabir looks at my face in wonder.

"No, didn't you say something now?

"... I feel like there's a demon coming this way."

Say it quickly.

Exploring the signs, I do see demons running this way.

"Captain, the demons are coming this way."

"" Yes, let's hurry ""

When the voices of the two captains overlap, the two investigators run out towards the village.

"Pfft."

I heard something strange in my ear, but I can't afford to look behind it.

If we don't hurry, there's a ferocious demon!
