Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"... how can I answer it properly...?" Monsters sound like excuses when they are strong, and hunters and adventurers are weak when they are engaged in dangerous work. I hope you understand. "

"Well, as a concubine, I don't care about detailed expressions, but in short, hunting monsters is too dangerous, so I can't secure the meat...?"

While checking with Josephine, Teresa remembered the monster in her head. The name of the monster was "Nik". It was a vicious monster in the form of a small bird.

If a monster like Niku was hunting, Teresa seemed to think that she could not help but give up hunting monsters and even if insect-eating culture became popular. In Mid-Eden, however, there is a record of a single Nikku being strong enough to destroy the city in half. If there is a country that has the power and technology to easily hunt such monsters, that country must possess the hegemony of the world by now.

Teresa asked, thinking about Nik, and Josephine nodded her head.

"Yes, they use powerful magic and, above all, they are sturdy. Whether you slash with your sword or strike a magic spell, the monsters can only cause scratches.”

Adventurers chew on delicious insect dishes in a town where people go to and fro... Josephine continued to narrow her eyes in a very ordinary sight in the Grand Duchy of Restofen.

The automatic wand you're looking for was originally developed to crush monsters.

"(Jidu Ujo? Oh, is that what the waltz said?)"

"If you can't defeat the monster one-on-one, you can fight it one-on-ten..." By introducing automatic wands, we tried to make up for the lack of power by making it easier for people who can't use magic to do so. A massive experiment was carried out in the reign of his predecessor, the Grand Duke. ”

”... if you say it that way, you can't fit in well, can you?”

"Yes, as you can guess." Now that a large number of people can use magic by using the automatic wand, even if you increase the number of attacks that are not effective against monsters by 10 times or 100 times, the damage dealt is finally 0. We have heard that many of the people who participated in the experiment suffered casualties. With the development of the wand, I was certainly successful in raising my strength, but it was not far from the strength of the monsters, and even if it was hunted, it was like a weak individual. Naturally, they didn't hunt in large quantities enough to circulate in the market. ”

"Hmm... but why did you start eating insects?" No... because the meat can't be caught, you escaped from the bugs that can be hunted relatively easily. "

“I can only speculate about how people started eating insects, but that's what historians think, because they started eating insects a long time ago, rather than their predecessor, the Grand Duke.”

Josephine, who spoke like that, seemed ashamed that she could not beat the monsters because she was at the top of the country. She was embarrassed, but she had an apologetic expression on her face. For Josephine, who thought Theresa and the others were almost certain that she was a senior government official in another country, it might have been embarrassing, in fact, to introduce the negative aspects of her country.
