"Now, Orc, if it's true, we might have just run into each other."

Alvin talks to me as I'm rocked on the back of the golem. Although the injury has been healed by Anne, she is transporting it in the Golem because she needs some rest because of her considerable serious injuries.

"Might be"

Answer yes, from the route there is a good chance we will have met. Did Alvin think of that? He has a blue face. Seventy units were handed over to Oak King. Not one of the four of us.

I was just wondering if it would have been easier if the group, including that oak king, had returned to the settlement. But then these guys could have died. Oak travel speeds, he said, are speeds that people with fast legs can manage to escape. Except we're talking flat ground with no luggage or anything.

"You were floating with a rank up. Looks like the woods were still early for us. You're lucky to live and just figure that out. And the rewards aren't bad, and it's easy to get around the golem."

Originally an E-rank, he says he just went up to D in a fort defense battle. Incidentally, Oak's reward decided to be distributed in seven: three, except for the crusade minutes recorded on the card.

The march continued with Albin and his companions, whose mouths were slightly heavier, both on the ravens and on the corners. The demon didn't come out for a while afterwards. Everywhere around there is a big nest like that. Sometimes it means that the beaten oak is probably the route it came through.

I found a nice square, so I decided to take a break from lunch. Their menu is delicate: dried meat on bread. This is accompanied by a skewer of bread and ravioli, which magically warms up the soup.

"Thank you. It would be useful if you could use magic"

Says Alvin when he sees me taking things out of the item box. Without magic, the baggage is heavy, and does it mean food and water are before you? Wouldn't that make it impossible to travel or something? You can't carry water or everything you need, and how do you secure it?

"By the way, I was going to ask you. You're full of women."

He came to my side, where he sat a little apart for perimeter vigilance, and Alvin whispered and listened. Nothing. I can detect the area while eating with my daughter-in-law in the center, but I have to just pretend to be vigilant.

"There's a woman there, too."

"Yeah. It's my sister. The other two are in the same town."

Is there a lot of parties like that? So far, I've only heard of Mr. Olba and Mr. Lazard, but they were both made up of people from the same village.

"At some age, you join the village vigilante to train for combat. You have to protect yourself about your village. That's when I became an adventurer."

I see. It would be easy to do if you had some sense of mind before you became an adventurer.

So, what about you? and Alvin steams back the story.

"They're all my daughters."

I'm a little embarrassed to say this.

"All four?

Turn around and say that to Satie and the others. Even though multiple marriages are allowed, it must be unusual to party with four daughters.

"Yes. All four."

"That's amazing. How did you get used to it?

"Well, it's a lot. We don't have time to talk."

"Excuse me, how old are you?

"23."

"I'm 21. I just thought you were younger. Rank's up there, too, and Tammy, was your mouth rude?

Yeah, I knew you thought I was younger. You're short and you're a child's face.

"It's not that different, and even if it's weird, it's hard to do"

"Really? Then stay like this."

"That's right, sister, it's attached to those two, but you don't have to go that way?

Alvin's sister seems to be having a friendly conversation after having lunch with the other two.

"Not good. But when I get in the way, it pisses me off..."

"Oh well. That's tough."

Which one are you dating? Both? Is there also a female reverse harem? I was interested, but I was just hesitant to ask Alvin about it.

On the afternoon trip I encountered demons three times, but defeated them all alone or in small numbers with no problems. And as the sunset neared and began to prepare the camp in the right place, we were to celebrate our first forest night at this party.

"Why don't you come here?

"Well, I guess it's okay."

The size is enough for five people to sleep in, and the shape is fine. I tried to suggest that it would be safe to build a room in the basement, but Ellie rejected it. My opinion is that you should get used to normal camping as well.

Create an image and start chanting. The earth walls are gradually formed hemispherically according to the chant, and the dome is completed. The entrance is big enough to crawl in. The walls aren't that thick either for now.

Ellie and Tirica go inside with a mess.

"What do you say?"

Peek inside and speak up.

"It's a little narrow, but this will do."

I got it approved, so I'll try to keep the cure in mind again. Now we shouldn't be able to destroy it with some attack.

"Same thing at Alvin's, okay?

"Yeah. What's wrong with that?"

"You can say it. Don't worry, I have too much magic."

Together, Oak King almost killed me. You're one of them! I also feel a little guilty for causing you major injuries. If I was bad, I could have really died.

Make the other calf into a ninety degree position across the fireworks. You seem satisfied with what you've done. The season is winter. It's already in January. Even though it's a crude dirt house, it's very gratifying to have roofs and walls.

Anne and Satie, plus Alvin's sister, prepare meals friendly. The menu consists of oak meat baked in soup on bread. The meat of demons has been bothering me lately. It's something you can get used to. After dinner, after consulting with the watchman, it was decided to stand two at a time by two.

"Me and Satie are definite. And then there's one person who doesn't have to stand guard."

"I hope Tirica gets some rest."

"Right. Tirica, rest."

Tirica, the elderly man who followed me in this, is being treated as a younger person by everyone for some reason. I'm not sure if you're worried about not being physically fit or treating youngest by appearance, but I'm sure it will inspire your appetite for asylum.

"I'll do it too"

Tirica's strong claim led Ann to rest as a result of making and pulling the lottery out of the tree. The first watch is Satti and Tirica.

"Then be careful. You have to wake him up as soon as something happens."

"Yes, rest. Dear Masaru."

"Don't fall asleep, Tirica"

"I won't!

Tirica says with rare indignation at Ellie's words.

"Just kidding. Then I'll let you rest first."

I'm a little worried, but if Satie's here, I'll be fine. I have two 5m grade golems positioned just in case, and the area is lit bright with magical lights. I don't like the bright spots, although night demons come at me ignoring them if they're about a bonfire. The chances of coming by should decrease. I also thought about putting it out and letting the neighborhood look around, but it's a hassle to be seen. It was decided that it would be sufficient to keep it at times of need.

"Hey, was that a daytime oak king? He was pretty strong."

Pull in the blanket and talk while sleeping. It's not cold because I keep my gear on, but I have trouble sleeping.

"That's King. One-on-one is tough. It could be a monster with a dragon around it."

If you get nostalgic like that, you can't shoot great magic in the detour either. If it's about level 2 magic, the damage is prevented by the armor of something and stubborn flesh, ignoring it and going in. Speed and power are human apart, and he has the skills to let meat cut and break bones. To some extent, even now that I've grasped my abilities, it's pretty suspicious if I can do it again and win.

"That guy was pretty dangerous. If the heels were delayed, they could have died."

Alvin...... was he seriously wounded dying after all? It looks like it was eaten properly.

"Is that all you got?

"That's not true. Don't worry, I rarely see you."

It just sounds like a flag when Ellie says it. I made up my mind that I would see that class again. We have to work out what to do.

"Look, I'm just going to bed. We have a watch after this."

"Okay. Good night, both of you."

When I checked the menu before I went to bed, I kept swordsmanship at 5 because one level was up. That gave me some peace of mind to sleep in.

"Masal, guys. Wake up."

Tirica woke me up shaken by itching.

"Hey, honey says something's coming"

"Okay."

The protective gear was asleep with it on, so I crawled out as soon as I put only the sword I had laid on my back.

Outside the beak is light magic and bright as day. When the detection was activated, about five reactions were captured. The distance is still considerable.

"What do you think?

I ask Sati, but I shake my head if I don't know. Alvin also came out of the calf.

"What do you want?

"Yeah. Looks like he's slowly pulling in from over there."

"I'd prefer not to come if I could."

Alvin says as he looks anxiously behind the woods.

"Shall we move the golem and threaten him?

Ask Ellie, who came out of her teat as she yawned.

"Right. If you have more than one opponent, get rid of them."

Let Jen-royal Golem walk toward detecting the demon. Would the 5m have been a bit big? It's hard to get through the trees, too. Proceed by snapping the branches of the buckwheat and tree. But was that good? The five reactions quickly went away. Just a little more, take the golem back and then turn back with another noisy noise.

Looks like he's gone somewhere.

"Right. Maybe it was more than one. Maybe it was a forest wolf."

A forest wolf is a powerful demon who hunts in groups in a nocturnal way, and can be as big as three meters long. Though they only leave at night, they lurk in the darkness and quietly approach and attack their prey. Horrible.

When I went to the woods in the investigation before, I wondered how it was like to be on guard at night or something. I wish I had seen it better, and now I regret it.

Make sure the demon is completely undetected and gather in the fireworks.

"It's a little early, but shall we take turns? Satti and Tirica get some rest."

Satti still looks fine, but Tirica looks pretty sleepy.

"Yes. Tirica, let's go"

Drop Satti and Tirica off into a tease and look around a little bit. Only small animals can detect. There will be no danger. Return to the bonfire and report accordingly.

"How do you know that?

Alvin asked. Yeah, that's the real question. I don't have ears, like a beast man, and if they say so with certainty, they won't trust me.

"I wonder if it's like a sign."

"Signs......?

"Yes, signs. Um, wait a minute."

Exploring the surrounding signs, there's something small in the woods behind the calves, moving a little bit. Kill the signs and slowly approach them. Snake. Take out the knife, throw it. I hit him around the neck and the snake stops moving.

I was a little surprised when I took the finished snake and showed it to Alvin.

"You really get it."

The snake by Albin says it can be eaten. They don't have poison, so sometimes they catch it and eat it when they find it. I don't know how to stir it, so when I gave it to Alvin, he judged it nicely and sprinkled it with salt and set it on fire.

I thought it was a snake, but I've been eating a lot since I got here, and I'll just hang on. It was boney and teethy, but it burned well and didn't taste too bad. Ellie was cut off, too, without complaining about it.

"Welcome. Sometimes it's not bad."

"Right. I can't even eat it."

"Don't say luxury during your journey, Massal. We don't always have food."

"Is that what happened?

"Nothing in particular, eh? It's a matter of mindset."

No, you don't! That's what the item box is. Rarely would it fit that well.

"Mm-hmm. Something's here. Just one, but it's big."

Thinking about putting a scratch on Ellie takes something to detect.

"If it's just one, why don't we hunt?"

"Yeah, I'm just gonna go. Alvin!"

Stay away from the bonfire. I'm on perimeter alert. Speak to Alvin. I still have quite a bit of time until morning, but I don't think I just need to get bored.

Then there were three raids until morning. One of them got away with it, but I put two down. It's a big moth, like a black leopard. The moth was burned down by fire magic, and Ellie pissed me off. They say the blades are going to be some kind of material.

But I need you to listen to me. A moth over a meter in size is flying this way, okay? After you drop it with a fire arrow, you're gonna blow up again, right? Even if I accidentally burned it down, I can't help it.

The black leopard was sneaking in while hiding well, but not the enemy of sign detection, taking his back in secrecy and finishing it off lightly. They say black twinkle fur is very popular. Maybe not, it's about twice the size of a black leopard on the planet, and if he gets ambushed like this in the forest at night, he'll continue to die. Alvin also looked blue when he saw this guy. They're still pretty dangerous demons.

Alvin snapped as he looked up at the thin blur and the sky brightened.

"Hey, didn't you want a lookout or something?

"Yeah, but, well, it's better to be in numbers when something happens, right?

"But it's not helping at all..."

"I didn't do anything, either. Masaru will do it all. So why don't you mind?

"You're good at sneaking up on me and knocking me down. It's crazy to say something about a hunter at night."

The hunter of the night is two names: Black Leopard. I know that's all you're afraid of, but honestly, you're not my enemy.

"Really. I'm not sure where Masaru is going. Are you going to be an assassin, too?

"I'm meant to be Maggie..."

"That's it, that. We're going to be late for the Oak King because we're going to be wizards."

"Uh. He was so strong. That's what Alvin thinks, right?

"Wouldn't it be a little impossible to defeat him alone..."

"Look no matter what you think. What's the situation you've been injured in so far? It would be when they approached me. I mean, we should extend our melee capability more than magic. Look at Sati. I haven't been hurt once, and by accident, I'm going to blow the oak king. That's where Masaru is headed."

I was trying not to think much about it, but do we still have to talk about it that way? I'm afraid of the avant-garde.

"I'm really not sure I'm going to do it avant-garde. To be honest, I'm scared. I want to be shooting magic in the back."

"Are you afraid of orcs?

"You're not as scared as an oak."

Orcs and all that. It's just miscellaneous fish.

"So it might be harpy?

"That's not as good as I thought."

Harpy asked for a few favors, and I think he was able to handle it pretty well last time.

"Oak King, then?

"I'm a little scared, but the next time I see you, I'll knock you down"

I took swordsmanship to level 5, and it should be okay next time.

"Then what are you afraid of?

You're not more scared than I thought, are you? What the hell were you afraid of...?

"It's an oak. I was afraid of the oak at first. So let's do it with a wizard..."

That's right. When I first went to the woods, I saw multiple orcs looming and I didn't think the avant-garde could do it. But based on my current combat abilities, I don't think five or six orcs would be enough.

"It doesn't matter how many oaks there are, does it?

"So is that. I'm not that scared when I think about it. I don't want to stand in front of dragons or anything."

"We all have to do the dragon. Easy win, right?"

"Right. Easy win."

Neither of you were sure of your expression, but it must have been half crying when you first summoned. Our party's offense is overwhelming.

"Is the dragon an easy win?

"Mm-hmm. That's just a big lizard blowing fire. No problem."

Yes, I have no problem with the avant-garde. I'd rather build my abilities as an avant-garde than figure out how to do this magically.

"Ellie's smart."

"Hey, what are you talking about? That's not normal!

It's not swordsmanship to protect yourself like it's ever been. Master swordsmanship to defeat your enemies.

I've been skipping training lately, and when I get back to town, I'm going to ask His Sergeant to take care of me.

"I'm hungry for now. Let's wake everyone up for breakfast."

"Right. I only ate snakes, and I'm hungry."

"Snake, did you eat it?

Tirica woke up at some point and came to the side and stood.

"Yeah. But it wasn't very tasty, was it?

"sloppy. I want to eat too"

"Yes, sir. Masaru, get it for you later."

Then I'll keep it if you're on the move.

"Snake Fun"

Is it enough to look forward to? With that in mind, I took the ingredients out of the item box and started preparing breakfast.
