Though it was the search that I couldn't find, the march on the second day went well.

Without encountering resentment demons or beasts, we will examine suspicious areas with care.

"Dr. Rockwave, what about that place?

"Hmmm...... ok, why don't you check it out"

Discovering a large plot of land, researchers disembarking from the carriage will initiate an investigation.

First of all, the wind soldiers use the technique and blow the area away with care (dermies and others were activating the technique by waving their legs with their hands in their pockets even when doing this task). In the name of purifying bad intentions - this is an alert procedure for the stay of toxic gases. The only people who know the truth about it are Dr Rock and Liquid Protection.

After securing their safety, the researchers each scatter in the enclosure and the soldiers keep an eye on their surroundings in a way that protects them.

The drift shelter was somewhat out of hand, so he acted with the Doctor and watched the investigation.

...... and I hear the Tailvid brothers and sisters interacting bending in a slightly remote position.

"Mm... brother, it's a mushroom I've never seen. Small and cute......"

"Lisa's cuter."

"Brother... so you think I'll be happy...?

What a look at the two of them like that,

"Mm... this is...!

The Doctor, who succumbed to the rock, picked up carefully, in a pinset, something like white powder.

"No way that's..."

"Yeah. It's just moss."

I thought, "Oh, shit."

"But as far as we're concerned... I'm guessing this is exactly how the solidified soul and mind" Pralna "looks."

Surprisingly snapped at the big rocks, they only look frosty or dirty. Even if the solid soul and mind "Prarna" looked exactly as the Doctor had thought it would look, I'm likely to take home a large amount of moss by mistake. If it comes to the fact that the soul heart power "Prarna", considered a product of God, was mistaken for moss - and so on - that is what church officials might come to beat with help.

"Don't get me wrong, let's bring it back as a sample.... Uh-huh, nevertheless."

He leaked a voice that the Doctor would spare while working on it.

"What do you want?

"Hey, I thought you wanted a camera to make it. I knew it was an essential part of this kind of field research."

……

The drift shield, which seemed fuzzy after hearing such a doctor's words, looked around somewhat. Make sure no one sees it and cut it out securely.

"... Doctor. There are cameras."

"Yea......!?

That's right. The Doctor peeled his eyes off.

It's quicker to show than to explain. I secretly sneaked it out into the inner pocket of my jacket.

"... oh, is that...?

"No... as you can see, it sounds like a phone"

While perplexed by the strange reaction of the Doctor, press and hold the power button to start.

The color is piano black. Compact thin, but originally a father's step back. It is a long overdue old model from the latest models today. Galapagos, on the contrary, would be a fossil. Since it would have been sufficient if I could really use it for a little contact, the contract plan is only in the minimum that I need as well.

'11/0409: 17' and the date and time are displayed, but it is already suspicious whether this is accurate in Earth time. Of course the radio antenna doesn't stand.

I lend it to Mia as a toy substitute because it has become an object that no longer makes any sense in this world, but there have been times when the display bugs in the folds she 'recharges'. Perhaps it was sneaky that it was not a regular charging method. Once I saw that it was "78/3931: 88," I finally remembered a little loneliness that I couldn't even use it as a watch.

I haven't turned it on in a long time before. The fold, date, etc. was back to normal at first glance, but the time was way off, so I'm treading that the month and day would be more suspicious.

By the way, why are you carrying it with you this time, because you were going to take even rare pictures of it as a small souvenir to Mia and go home.

Anyway,

"Yep...? Is that a cell phone...!?

"Yes, but... what's wrong with you?

Hi. Something's wrong with the doctor's reaction. I'm making my eyes black and white.

"Chi, can I show you something!?

"Ah, go ahead"

If I give it to you, the Doctor is roaring in an intriguing way as he looks at his phone from various angles.

"What do you want? Doctor."

"No, no. This is what phones are like right now, I thought"

…… Oh, "

The boy from "Modern Japan" finally realized there.

Dr. Locke - Iwawave Fai only knows cell phones from 14 years ago.

Electronics, for example, have made dramatic advances in the meantime. Speaking of fourteen years ago, he was a year old at the time. I wonder if from that time until the present day when I haven't even got my mind on it, there is little such as an item that hasn't changed its performance or appearance.

"Hmmm...... you're in such a compact shape now.... I guess everything's changed since I knew it."

……

To that whine, which would be packed with all sorts of thoughts, for fifteen years of being born, there was nothing a young man could return months lost in the other world.

"Oops, sorry. Er, using the camera features on this phone..."

"Ah, yes. It's got a good resolution and I think it's pretty clean."

"Well, because of that, can I borrow a little?

"Go ahead."

Explain the operation method lightly, and also tell them that the battery is draining faster (so they are usually powered off). Even with allowances and gradual photography, the battery will run out in no time.

Back to the perimeter investigation. When you casually neck the Doctor around your ass,

……

Up the hill - under the road I've been passing, the large trees that are soaring around parking the carriage, Belgrette, Amanda and Oretta are moving somewhat busily. If you look closely, it looks like you're wrapping a red cloth around a tree branch.

(What are you doing, that...?

The Doctor is immersed in the investigation more vigorously, either because he got the camera for the memorial.

As wandering around the vicinity seemed to get in the way, the hand-held guerrillas decided to go under them.

"I wonder if this is the place."

Just a paragraph of work, Amanda puts her hand on her hips and looks up at the giant tree in front of her.

Large thin red textiles were wrapped around branches of height reaching out and reaching. Once done and noticeably crimson, it is blown by the wind and shaken to pieces. It will be noticeable even from quite a distance. If you look closely, it said '1' in black in the center.

"... um, Lugo, is that you"

Noticing the drift protection that came, Chen, a woman starting with Amanda, looks back.

"What's like this flag?

As you can see, the flag.

Amanda answers instantly without biting. You thought there was a lack of explanation, and I immediately supplemented it myself.

"Exactly, a landmark for the rendezvous point."

"Rendezvous...?

"So far, we're all going well, but we don't know what lies ahead. A rendezvous point in case the squad splits up... make it one of them. Here."

Every time we go a certain distance, we install the same flag as this. For each installation, the numbers to be written are increased to '2' and '3'.

For example, if you leave a flag marked '4' and go on for a while, and you are forced to break it off by accident, each person returns for the '4' point. If you have reached "2" or "3" as a result of your search, you can aim for "4" from there in the same way you went.

"Shit, it's almost like you're resting."

Amanda is right to laugh bitterly.

If this measure is to be used, the premise is not to lose sight of the flagged path. If we don't know the way after the breakup, it will be extremely difficult to get back. Even if the direction is incorrectly moved ahead of the flag, it becomes meaningless again.

They decided to take this method as insurance for now because the mountain road was more the main road than expected.

"Well, let's just hope things don't go wrong like relying on this."

Lifeguard wholeheartedly agreed to such words of Oretta looking up at the flag.

These were the researchers who had been researching the land for a while, but there was still no harvest to say. With an early cut, the line decided to resume moving forward.

The investigation of the land was also completed several times, shortly after the "6" flag was raised.

"Whoa, well..."

drift protection caught by the voice of one going forward and looking at the

I accidentally surprised the sight in front of me. The soldiers around them are also annoyed.

The body of some large beast had been thrown down by an off-road servant. Bear - is it? Its black giants, devoured, are rolling with heterogeneous objects, stripping out their vivid flesh and white bones.

I stepped on the number of places as a guerrilla and felt used to corpses, but I'm still surprised to see these things all of a sudden.

"... Is that... an armored bear? It's new."

It was Dr. Rock's surprising voice that flowed out of the duct.

"Huh?"

"That corpse. Instead of corrosion, the blood isn't even dry."

……

That's what they say, and I notice the shield.

What that means is that...

So the advance of the squad stopped.

Midway down the road surrounded by black and lush trees.

Nature and Amanda's feet leading the way. A soldier or a carriage to follow. No signal, as I said.

Stream protection stops walking as well.

"... ever since I stepped into the land, I've cared"

Amanda's voice was never big, but nothing blocks that husky voice in the quiet woods.

"In the past, many investigative teams have challenged the original bob, which occurred in various places… all without exception, and are forced to withdraw by the grudges that nest there…"

What is she trying to say? Everyone listens to the words that follow, including drift protection.

"But this time, we have barely encountered a grudge demon. At the moment, only three times. One of them was Dobobeek, a herd of unusual size."

- Shin.

Just a little bit there, I felt the ground shake.

"Why haven't you encountered a grudge demon before? What was that huge swarm of doveaks? He's rolling over there. Armored bear didn't die of natural causes. I can see signs of contention. A beast that doesn't even take a pull by a Rank B grudge demon, but who did it to you?

"Ha, captain...... no way"

You perceived what Amanda was trying to say, and one of the soldiers calls in a trembling voice.

"There are exceptions, starting with Farvnar, but the resentful demons symbiote with each other indefinitely. So much so that there have been reports that Drauthor and Lugal were not even hanging out with each other and drinking the same river of water. Because they don't crush each other that way, if people go into the Grievance Nest, they'll be attacked one after another by a wide variety of people."

This time, that's not happening at all.

There is only one possible hypothesis, Amanda affirms in a low voice.

"The resentment demons who were supposed to be in this land were almost driven away by something"

The ground shakes just a little again.

"Yesterday Dbeak was in the midst of a huge move to get away from someone together. Like that draughtlow where Farvnar chased me into the academy."

The ground shivers again. The vibrations are slightly larger and more frequent.

"The bear there has just been eaten. I mean, that 'who' is - right next to us right now."

The drift protection was finally noticed there.

Vibration felt slightly at regular intervals from earlier. This is caused by something huge walking.

"A monster that equally eradicates those around you. Exceptional existence outside the boundaries of symbiosis, eating up even resentful demons. I only know one thing."

Ground vibrations that get bigger. One soldier after the other.

The flow shield called on the voice tube right next door.

"Ha, Doctor. What is it? What's going on? Does that mean something is nearby?!?

"... I agree with Amanda. I was ready for danger... but this hit a hell of a target..."

It was an unanswered response. but I took it seriously - I guess from a faintly trembling voice. That Dr. Locke is upset right now.

The vibration grew fast and large. It's as if something huge, walking slowly, is running over here noticing.

"All hands, get ready...!

Amanda's decree flies with her belly bracketed.

Looking next to her, Oretta was pulling out the black sword on her hips. That face, which I could afford even in front of a large group of Augustus and Dbeaks, is tightened up like someone else.

Further next to it, Belgrette was concerned about his surroundings with a tense facade.

Dermie remains the same, but I can tell that he stepped on that axial foot strongly and went into a vigilant position.

The Tailvid brothers and sisters also leaned in and sharpened their eyes.

Each soldier also holds a weapon in his hand and sets himself up with a face of death.

……

The sound coming towards me and the small, chopped sway. Shortly after I had a feeling something extraordinary was approaching,

――――……

A tremendous sole appeared.

Lifeguard stares at the figure unexpectedly. From the direction of the squad, turn right. Running down the neglected loose slope of the trees with four long, thin legs. Whenever a big hoof kicked the ground, the surface trembled as if to echo.

The way it comes rocking or forcefully snapping a wooden branch at height is also as if it is casually diving a warm curtain.

It's amazingly fast because of the huge stride. Its presence, which came in light footsteps, stood in the form of blocking the troops' whereabouts.

Deer, if you compare it to an existing animal.

Slurdy limbs, long necks. However, there is no luxurious impression, and the whole body covered in gray short hair is full of strength.

And most importantly,

"So... let's..."

He seemed to look up to a little building. Blurring leaks from the soldiers as well.

Leg length alone would be just over two meters. How far will it go from the long neck to the head, through a thick torso at a height that cannot be reached?

The total length is probably six or seven meters. Anyway, it's long vertically and the intimidation that overlooks it sticks together. From the top of its far height dripped pottery and clear liquid. It fell zero from the big mouth, saliva. The face was shaped roughly far from herbivores while resembling a deer's body.

"... ugh,"

A frizzy one conveys the spine of the flowing guard.

Anyone can tell. Even a child who must know nothing. Even drunks in front and rear unconsciousness.

This guy sucks, he said.

First, the bottom half of my face is my mouth. From that sloppily opened part, there is a peek of unusually well-lined white teeth forming a line even this or something, inviting unspeakable fright. Somehow it looks just like a human mouth, and that's what's fuelling the creeps.

And the upper half of his face was occupied by both eyes of a giant ellipse. A cloudy green pupil that moves galloping in the red eye. The color was also toxic, just inorganic, and I could feel nothing but cold.

"What... this guy"

The doctor's voice through the vocal tract answered the blurred flow protection question.

"Until confirmed in The Tragedy of Rhinecadal, which occurred fifteen years ago, there are no cases of crusade. Animals, plants, resentful demons, people… From the unusual appetite to target all things predatory, the nickname attached is' bulimia '-"

Tell him his name, as he exhales the words of the curse.

"Category A...... Zuwira Shamore......!
