Return to the Guild of Tannats and line up for reception. And I realized...

Normally, if you are asked to crusade a demon, bring back some or all of the demons. In this case, however, there is no particular evidence because it is slime. I would have liked to get about the Demon Stone if I could, but Nozchi sucked it all in...

Mr. Gorelius would believe it, but if there's a slime over there again, that's the problem...

Well, no.

Whoa, the order's turning.

"Welcome. What can I do for you?"

"I came to report because I had received a request from the union president. I'd like to talk to you directly, if possible.

Of course he talks while showing his guild card.

"Please Wait"

Then he was escorted to the union chief's office without waiting five minutes.

"Oh, you're here. It's over, isn't it?

"Hi Mr. Gorellius. Thank you for waiting. It's over. You just don't have proof, do you? Nozchi sucked it all in.

"Oh? Nozchi!? Seriously..."

"I'm serious. There are only giant lake tracks left. I can take someone with me to confirm anything.

"Shisha. I'm coming. I've always wanted to get on your board. I thought you said you took the Asteroids to the king's capital.

"That happened, too. Shall we go then? From now on, it will be perfect for an evening's closing.

It's a bit of a waste of time, but I can't help it without proof. The union president, Mr. Gorellius, would have to check with himself.

Then Me, Alec, Koh, Kamui, and Mr. Gorelias return to the Herdeza Desert again.

"It won't take an hour..."

Hehe. If it's normal, it's a couple of weeks course.

"Here it is. This place was covered in slime across one side.

The slime is gone, and the sand is shrinking. A crater as far as I can see. Even though it is a desert, it is heavily snagged, and the rock beds are peeled out at the bottom.

"That hole... Nozchi came out..."

"That's right. It was tough. Oh, I'll leave you here for now. I can fill it with water, but it would be hard if the slime showed up again.

It's the water I put out. No wonder it contains tons of magic. I didn't feel any magic when I got the water out or the last time I saw it, but where did it change. Not what I figured out.

"Well yeah. Nice work, Curse. Now you're a sixth star.

"Thank you.

Looks like it's pretty tough going up from seventh to sixth and sixth to fifth stars. I don't care because I wasn't after promotion, but I'll take what I can get.

Return to the Guild of Tannats and once again the Office of the President of the Union.

"Look, this is the six-star card. I still want to ask you... can you take it?

"Thank you. Um, a little bit. I have about two weeks to spare now.

"Two weeks. I don't know what else to do. One thing, please. Just come back tomorrow morning. Hey.

"Fine. But if it's going to take more than two weeks, I say no.

"Ooh. Please."

This also solved the slime problem that bothered me. It's my victory to come up with the idea of letting Nozchi suck. Poison control. Poison control? But what if Nozchi runs wild with Kutanutsu? It's out of your hands, huh? How did the brave Murasaki flex Nozchi to live in the Herdeza Desert after the death of the Demon King? I'm not that interested, but there's too much I don't know. What the hell is going on in this world? I was wondering if Sandra could investigate when she gets back to Kutanutsu.

By the way, I didn't go home tonight, and Alec and I stayed at a little good inn in Kutanutsu. Ko-chan and Kamui went home.
