"... a horn rat's nest. That's the subtle part."

"In the meantime, you're baking"

"Oh."

The nest of monsters discovered by Yu and Tifa, it was, at first glance, a small horizontal hole like a rabbit or some sort of nest hole.

With Yu's permission, Tifa throws a small, narrowed fireball into the back of the nest.

It shows an unusually delicate and highly precise control of not burning one extra thing until it reaches the back, either because the magic adjustment is not necessary with a limitered procedure.

Landing in the back was accompanied by a creeping bursting sound and louder vibrations, and a few seconds later the mockingbird and smoke rose out of the nest hole.

Yu and Tifa, one after the other, fasten the horn rats that came out of the hole so that they could be chased by it.

Three minutes later, the removal of the horn rat's nest will be completed successfully.

"No more signs, so probably no one survived"

"Maybe there's an individual out there... Is it okay?

"Because by the nature of these guys, you'd be a male if you were out at this time of year. It's hard to reproduce where you survive a little bit."

Tifa asks such a question as she releases the fireball into the nest hole again just in case and completely burns it down inside.

No matter how many monster opponents, the way it handily and relentlessly exterminates the nest is likely to dongle around Karen if you look at it.

To that Tifa question, Yu tells her so that nothing seems to happen.

but ask if Tifa, who can't get over her anxiety in Yu's description, is ok on top of the other because her home village is nearby.

"Um... I don't want to come to the village to get revenge..."

"I think I figured it out just now, but these guys don't have a lot of fighting ability. So we don't aggressively launch attacks on our own or in a handful of flocks. It would be troublesome if there were a lot of them, but from the scale of the nest I just crushed, even if I was running away, it wouldn't be a problem because it's a good place to go."

"Really?

"Oh. It's not until these guys try to raid a settlement where the exorcism's boundaries are stretched out, at least a thousand or more."

After hearing Yu explain, Tifa is finally convinced.

A monster named Horn Rat, which the two of them have tailored, is a horned mouse about the size of a house cat.

Not as agile as a rat because of its larger size, the means of attack is an easy to understand monster of bite or assault only, and neither is the assault as big as a cat or rabbit to jump and fly, so one-on-one can knock you down without any rushing adventurer or bitterness.

Nevertheless, unlike the weakest monsters, even children and weapons can defeat them, not so weak.

They also move around and stick in low positions, which can be very cumbersome to deal with when you have a number, and can cause you to be unable to move if you get hit in the foot, pushing you straight into a deadly situation.

And just rats, mostly coming at me with a few flocks.

Therefore, one guideline is whether you can destroy a horn rat herd unharmed on your own is whether you graduated from the rush.

Note that as far as Tifa is concerned, it is only here that it is not already a threat of any kind, since it can be annihilated with the proper magic while defending itself with dragon scales, Thousand or 10,000 per horn rat, but intact.

"Though, I'm worried about something else, so it looks like you should come back later to find out"

"Aren't you going to look into it now?

"We're in the middle of a workout, and we can't just leave our prey alone. There's no need to rush, so go back and finish your workout first."

"Yes, I understand."

Tifa pulls back quietly, pointing out that while she is slightly anxious about Yu's words that she has something to worry about, she is also on her way to workout.

Even though there's not a particular problem, throwing out workouts along the way doesn't seem to be comfortable.

"And carry some Tifa too, because it'll be just the right workout"

"Uh, how many should I carry?

"Right.... Hmm, maybe three."

With that said, Yu bags the appropriately chosen horn rat and brackets it on Tifa's back.

The horn rat is about the size of a house cat, so it doesn't weigh as much as a house cat. No, heavier than a house cat for plenty of meat around the belly.

When that is three, it lightly exceeds ten kilometres, even if a relatively small individual is chosen.

Tifa, who has just recently finally caught up with her average height, weighs a few percent of her own weight.

It's not about letting kids do it because you let them run with that weight on their backs.

Let's just say that Yu, who makes that work fine, and Tifa, who has no doubt there, are way off too late in many ways.

Well, when it comes to normal driving for both of us...

"So, back to working out? Thirty percent of the planned distance is past, but there's more luggage. Be careful not to misallocate the pace."

"Yes!"

Tifa responds honestly and cheerfully to Yu's words and begins to run carefully exploring the pace.

Running about behind it, Yu finally knocks off the eagle-like monster he was about to fly with an air gun bullet.

After this he was also twice intertwined by monsters and repelled alternately with Tifa, and by the time he reached the village he was Yu, who would be running with a prey more than three times his stature.
