Twenty-fourth report: Operation Cacao.

"Ariam......"

I was stunned as I checked the material that Cacao had put together for me in a day and a half.

Data from the last month's crusaded demons. Cacao is excellent, the summarized graph is so complete that I have no problem submitting it to my boss as it is.

However, checking the graphed results does not reveal any aberrations. The graphs depicted in chronological order have moved almost horizontally, as they have gone down and up. Neither type nor number has changed much.

This is astonishing. I checked with Madam, and the mercenaries picked me up, and nothing came up.

I wouldn't have noticed first if I hadn't actually had the experience to level up here, either. It showed that this phenomenon was not an event that had occurred in the past month or so.

Sigh and put down the material.

I don't notice.Normally I don't notice.

Mercenaries who level up in the Golem Valley are regularly replaced, and there are usually braces about the number and type of demons that appear. Few people will remember in detail the number and type of demons they defeated, and if the number of appearances is increasing, there is still no way to notice that it is decreasing.

Madame and Ultz have been here for a long time, but there's no way they realize that the madams' real share is not a demonic crusade in the first place.

Statistics. I wouldn't normally notice if I hadn't taken statistics for a long time. Or if a human being who used to level up like me doesn't visit again. Well, it's hard to do.

Hold your elbows on your forehead and squeal. The sound of the clock needle sounds as loud as if you're rushing me.

"We need a graph of a longer span - but you can't. What's happening?

Collecting data for the month of January is also quite difficult. It's difficult in time to collect data for a few years, and no one will remember.

No... I don't need more data. Leave the detailed investigation to Church Headquarters or the Kingdom - do what you have to do and do what you have to do.

Conclude your thoughts as you open your eyes and stare down at the material.

The most important thing is Fujido's safety, and what we need now is to find out what caused it.

We need to find out if the decrease in demons is at the hands of the Demons. The fact that it was not talked about in any city would not be like this phenomenon, which has occurred since Fujido was summoned.

And what purpose does that action have?

I already mentioned the report to Craio, but the response was not too fragrant.

I have a proven track record as a heretic exterminator, so I won't be prevented from reporting it, but I can't move people without clear grounds or figures.

The rationale for the demonic decline is also due to my own senses. I can't even compare it because I don't remember the number of demons I defeated here a few years ago or anything like that.

But that's why it's horrible. If this is the work of the Demon King's army...

"Oh, my God, this is a long time operation."

Hold your head, stare at the wood on the table and roar low.

It's not as if it's flashy. It diverges greatly from the previous record of the actions of the Demon King's Army, which is just waging a war.

But he is a demon king who sends Zarpan to the Great Vale Forest. Isn't that possible enough?

Decrease in golem. The idea is to reduce the level up speed and the supply of items that can be taken from the golem by reducing the amount of demons that have a lot of presence.

The Golem Valley is one of the premier leveling resources in the Luke kingdom, and its decline leads to a decline in Luke's overall national power.

but at the same time, this isn't the only place to level up resources, and it's a rate of decline that nobody notices. Short-term results are not expected. Can that arrogant demon clan strike such a hand? Too much relief.

I held my head on the table for a while, but I can't conclude.

... No... no abduction even if you think about it.

Just then, Amelia and Stay came home from outside.

Amelia was interviewed by mercenaries and merchants from Fifth City (Fifth Town). I asked Stay to contact Madame.

When Amelia lowered her backpack, she quickly reported to me with a serious look.

"I checked with the mercenaries, but they still don't seem to feel any change, such as a decrease in demons. Just don't see too many advanced golems."

"Don't see too many advanced golems,... how often do they appear?

He said, "If you walk around all day, you'll see a lot of them."

Explore the memories of meditating on your eyes. The hell with walking all day...... I should have been out a little bit more when I was on the level here. Compared to the other golems, the numbers were certainly small, but the whole day was definitely coming out...... should be.

... Damn, I can only remember how hard it was to level up. But I don't think the numbers I fought were hundreds or two.

Then the stay comes closer with a fluttering foothold from behind.

I have reported more expressive and upbeat than Amelia.

"I contacted Madam"

"... didn't you say anything rude?

"Mr. Ares, what do you think I am???

Excuse me.

A little eyebrow in the letter (c), the stay continues.

For what it turns out the Cacao of the Firm was only a little more reliable in me.

"Er... I don't know much about leveling because I do a lot of things on my own, but the number of injured people seems to have decreased slightly over the past few years. It seems it's all on the record... but I'm not sure if it's due to the decrease in demons or the progress of the know-how of the Golem crusade..."

"... I see..."

Put your arms together and look at the air and think.

Reduction in the number of injured persons. It would be a thin basis but one of the persuasive materials. The efficiency of leveling up is - Luke's Kingdom regularly uses it to train the Knights, so if you check there, it could be dew.

If we can prove the Demon King's involvement here, we can have the rest of the land investigated in advance. I can also anticipate their policies.

The challenge was done but not a bad thing.

"This is a chance. It's good to know before anything goes wrong with Fujido yet."

"... but are we really experiencing anomalies?

A half-hearted look on Amelia's face. Even if I were in her shoes, I'd be half-hearted.

She's been using her legs to talk to a large number of mercenaries and merchants.

"I believe you, don't I? I believe in Mr. Ares!

Stay tells me something terrific and dumb. No, what about that?

"... No, Mr. Ares. I know you do, but I believe you, too."

"... oh"

Amelia countered Stae like a muck. Why not?

Well, nothing. I don't want you to believe a baseless word or anything.

What we need is proof. I have to believe anyone with proof.

And if what's happening now is man-made, I know how to confirm it.

It's yet another story to see if we can find enough evidence to siren the church or kingdom.

Stay pulls my sleeve like a small animal and demands it.

"Hey, Mr. Ares? I did my best, didn't I? You've been working hard lately, haven't you? Wouldn't you mind if you complimented me for a moment?

"Shut up. I'll hold hands and feet."

"Bad, I was thinking - I got the real deal."

"Yep, yep, yep!?

Leave the screaming stays alone and turn to Amelia.

I know you're working hard on stays, too, but reliability is still much higher in low-level Amelia. I can't let the demons out on their own because I can't fathom them on Amelia's level already around here.

... I wonder if there are any stronger members.

"Amelia, we're going outside tomorrow. Prior to Fujido, confirm the authenticity and cause of the current phenomenon."

"Mr. Ares... I believed you"

Amelia looking hand-in-hand and impressed in front of her body. He said he believed... what?

"The destination is marked."

The golem does not increase in reproduction. Especially all advanced golems are produced from the top species - the Mother Golem.

And the location is also generally known. It's one of the most dangerous zones in the Golem Valley, and I need confirmation because it's information from a few years ago, but I haven't heard anything about the base moving.

Mother Golem is the root of the Golem Valley.

The security of that habitat is paramount, and besides, it's hard to find it because it's moving around, but nothing is meant to destroy Mother Golem. If the number of golems is decreasing, there should be some trace left there.

Check there, eliminate obstacles if possible, get evidence.

Stay pulled his arm and asked me as I came up with a detailed plan in my head.

This guy's really spiritual...

"Mr. Ares, what shall I do?

"Cacao will join Fujido and the others to help them. Please let me know if anything happens."

Do you understand?

"Later, Cacao...... ask for follow-up"

Um... it's me, Stefan, right?

Stay puts his index finger on his lips and his obsidian eyes come this way.

I'm asking Cacao.

It's invisible, but I can tell. Cocao, who also checks reports, is a child who can. As much as I want to be my kid.

Ma, maybe this guy won't die if anything happens, and it looks like he can use some noisy magic.

"... Mr. Ares, are you sure you're okay?

"I'm fine. Craio takes all the responsibility."

"If you're worried later and you can't help but worry, shouldn't you take me?

"I'm fine. Fujido and the others wouldn't be impotent if they had stays."

There's Cacao, too.
