Lesson 1 Winter Spider
"Nice to meet you. I'm Ottoner."
Six days after the auction ended in Teito.
It had reached a city on Count Ament's territory on the eastern side of the Empire, opposite the kingdom.
The request is for a crusade of demons sitting on the development site.
We will need someone to see if the demons have been properly crusaded.
There was no reason for the Count himself to follow such a dangerous request, and someone who was in charge of internal affairs was to follow him near Mr. Garland.
He doesn't really have the ability to fight, so I don't want him to come with me if it's possible, but I can't say no from us.
"Your job description also includes my escort. Please protect me."
I can't refuse to be told that by my client because they are supposed to give me something of considerable value.
Eventually, Mr. Ottner and I take a carriage to the north of Count Ament territory.
"It's a long and idle place."
Iris squeaks as he looks at the view from inside the carriage.
The three days of hunting in Alistair have come to a successful conclusion, and the meat of the crusaded demons has been collected inside the toolbox (item box).
Sylvia, the cook, is here for my escort, so we're all supposed to calm down and cook after we get back to Alistair, so Illis hasn't eaten yet.
"Long idle, that's more of a place than nothing."
The small town is just on the edge because this is the area where the pioneering is about to take place, so we'll stay there for one night before heading to a place with demons.
If the carriage has been rocking me for about two hours, I hear a sound of pecking from afar.
"What?
When I looked out of the carriage in suspicion, a large demon was moving as the leaves pushed away the withered trees.
"Whew...!
The moment I saw him, I couldn't help but leak my voice.
With that said, I had asked about strength about demons, but had not gathered detailed information on what they looked like.
"Excuse me, that's it"
Your man stops the carriage.
We and Mr. Ottner get off the carriage.
"Usually I wander in the woods, but luckily for me, he seemed to be near the forest entrance"
If I wasn't lucky, I had to start looking for demons.
"Is that the subject of this crusade?
"Yes."
White hairy demon about five meters long.
Looks like the crusader is definitely that demon.
"The adventurers who hired that giant body were defeated without exchange."
"You're a big body indeed"
I don't use the word 'huge' from me.
From the average person's point of view, if there are more than twice as many of them as humans, you might say 'huge', but I didn't think it was' huge 'because I've seen so many demons over 10 meters long before.
"Apparently, you were eating."
The demon was moving with a wolf carcass in his mouth.
Nearly half of the wolf's carcasses have already been devoured, and it can be seen that the demons are fierce.
"I think I noticed this way."
When you throw away the wolf you were wearing, you turn back to us.
The fact that bait appeared to be more delicious than the coveted wolf made my consciousness turn.
We must also fight to protect Mr. Ottner.
"Well, we have to fight, but who will?
Ask the four of them who were behind you.
The moment you and I had our sights, the four sights would be diverted simultaneously.
"I knew it would happen..."
I knew the women would refuse to fight demons.
Because...
'Cause that looks a little different, but it's a spider.'
Demons wandering through the woods with eight legs moving.
Allow those who see it because their whole body is covered in white hair to hold a mockingly cute image, but the impression when they see their faces from the front is definitely the spider itself.
The women who saw their faces from the front because they saw this one jump backwards sassy.
Everyone was moving together even though they didn't show each other.
"Hey......"
"Because!"
I have trouble even if I don't like it.
After fighting the giant spider (Giant Spider) that appeared in the lost forest near the inside of the elf, he was preached by Louise, who had accompanied him by fleeing the distaste felt from the giant spider.
Then, when he fought again, he had succeeded in crusading giant spiders (Giant Spiders) after suppressing them in various ways.
But it's not like I've been curbed of disgust from time to time.
Obviously I want to avoid fighting the crusaders.
"Good luck!
I am trying to get the Lord to fight with other force in the sentence.
"Hey, where'd the escort go?
"It's okay. I'm wary of dangerous opponents nearby and not after them."
I decided from the signs I could feel from the spider that it was not a threat to us.
Try them, they seem to think it's more important as an escort to be alert to any more dangerous opponents than spiders.
"You know..."
Mr. Louise also told me that if you can't seem to fight because the other person looks like a spider, you won't be able to crusade in a situation where I'm not with you.
The failure of a crusade request scratches the adventurer's background.
It affects the requests that can be received in the future if they are received through the Adventurer's Guild, and if they fail if they are received directly from the nobility without passing through the Adventurer's Guild, like this one, it becomes a problem with all the nobility influenced by Mr. Garland.
In this request, I was also responsible for not confirming the details of the demon by deciding that I could crusade without any problems because I had only heard how strong the crusading demon was.
But I want the women to be able to fight spiders.
"They're miscellaneous fish. Fight without worrying as much as you look like a spider!
"Um..."
If this happens again, I won't fight.
Even in the sense of getting them experience. We need them to crusade us this time.
"I don't like bad things."
"I can't."
"I refuse."
It was rejected by Ira, Melissa and Iris.
"It's okay. Your husband can do something about it!
Sylvia put a pointless trust in me.
I'm not.
I want them to crusade even in the sense of overcoming their bad consciousness.
But there is no indication that my thoughts like that will ever be conveyed.
"Um...!
"What's up?
When I looked back into Mr. Ottner's voice I heard from behind, the spider was approaching me, opening my mouth wide and trying to stick my sharp fangs against my body.
From the demons, I guess I looked like a great bait to show my back and not be conscious of myself at all.
It's no problem for me to get attacked.
But there's Mr. Ottner right next door, so there's no reason to wind him up.
"We're in an ops meeting right now."
Beat the demon in the face and blow it up.
The blown demon stops in the back of the woods as he crushes down many trees.
Eventually, he gets up shaking his feet with a pull.
But he collapses unbearably on his own weight on his leg, which is no longer powerless because of the beating. It still seems alive, but it's already a bug breath.
"To?"
Mr. Ottner, who was watching nearby, frightens me.
It was easy to beat down and defeat the vicious demons who had failed to crusade without any adventurers ever hiring them.
I can't believe the sight played out in front of me.
"I did it..."
I've done deadly damage to the demons that I was going to leave to the Sylvias.
I don't have any training or anything to get used to spiders when I'm in this condition.
Pull out the sword and fly the slash, the demon is amputated and falls to the left and right.
"Now we're done crusading, right?
For once, when I checked with Mr. Ottner, he shook his head vertically many times.
The client's agent authorized me to retrieve the spider-type demon in evidence into the toolbox.
It was just too fast for me to come back after completing my crusade request, so I needed to collect the evidence because it was possible that Mr. Garland would tell me something.
"So shall we go back?
Sylvia stopped by my side with no food on her face.
The other members don't seem to think anything of what I've left to them.
"Next time I see Mr. Louise, I'll report back to you."
A family member wakes up booming.
You definitely want to avoid it because the sermon will begin. But I'm most certain to rely on her than I don't have the appearance of reflection.
