Since then, I haven't had any contact with the Bellatud family in particular. Maybe I don't want to do it later, but I don't think I want to do it right now. In fact, it's not much of a problem with the sun.

It's just a little annoying. I can do it one way or another.

The best thing I did this time was to upset Jennia on behalf of Winia. That was worth it.

I liked Winia so much that I liked her too.

Jennia's Brassiere, more than anything else.

Winia brought this to me, how she tolerated it. It kept well on one side of the armory. It wasn't something anyone could use.

I brought it, but it doesn't mean anything special.

I win, so I take it.

It's just that.

Anyway.

I still came to see the Saint today.

I need to get back to work because I've taken a long break.

In the meantime, I was resting because I said that I was focusing on training because of the failure of the Dungeon Exploration mission. Of course, it wasn't a failure, and since I killed the Great Monarch Berrial, I deserved enough rest.

But the Saint doesn't know that, so if you rest long, you'll notice.

"Have you had any training?"

Cardia asked as she looked up and down at me.

It is basic to visit Bondi once every two days, but after deciding to take her own vacation, she was allowed to come a little more rarely.

"I worked hard for a few weeks to regain confidence."

I stayed in the middle of my training cycle, except for about the Bellatud family and taking my women out.

"Glad to hear that. It wasn't a failure, actually."

"I simply felt the limits of my power."

"Hmm, I think Saint Bone is enough."

"The stronger you are, the better. Muscles and manas. And swordsmanship is my power. In fact, I don't have time to train when I go to work, so I think it's a good idea to take a break like this."

"Muscle... well."

The Saint nods.

"I can't help it."

"Muscles matter."

- Bloop.

"Anyway. I got more information about the last dungeon."

She took out a copy of the document.

"Did you send the Crusaders back?"

"No. Paladin came to see if the dungeon had stopped, so I didn't send him. I just gave you the information from the Kingdom."

It's not because the royal church doesn't cooperate. Now that the Knights are here, I think they want to share something with the Church.

"He says he's confirmed to the 8th floor of the basement. That massive architecture runs all the way to the 8th floor of the basement... It's pretty amazing."

"Eighth floor? Is it that deep? No, exploration is faster than that, isn't it?"

Once I pretended I didn't know, I was told.

"The dungeon is completely stationary, so we can expedite the expedition. More manpower."

It would be natural if we had a full-time workforce.

You said you can't send troops to the border, but you don't have to send troops of that size to a completely silent dungeon.

If you borrow and send it in moderately, it's over.

Then I think all the scoundrels in the dungeon have been cleared. It was literally hell. I guess it's cleaner now.

"But the eighth floor is not the end. The key thing is that we found a way down to a deeper place. Of course, we're still exploring, so there's no information on this."

"Deeper... it's a strange story. Do you need to be that big? I went there myself, but I didn't know."

"I don't even know why I saw the Saint. But the only thing that matters is that the dungeon stopped and we found something that might be a clue."

There's no evidence left anyway.

"I won't touch this any more, but I'll let Paladin know if I get any more information."

"Hmph, thank you."

The story of the dungeon ended with this.

I don't know what the dungeon is for or what I've been doing for so long with Bereal's energy, but it will be buried forever.

I looked at all these documents that the Saint brought out.

"Saint. What's the mood around Isvant these days?"

"Are you interested?"

"It's been a long time."

How are you doing these days?

"Hm... What should I say? There is intermittent damage caused by demons in a city or town like this. It's always being reported. But in the end, the paladins are somehow solving it."

The Saint spoke boldly.

"But we can't help but solve it after the incident."

"You can't prevent damage."

There are some things I solved early near Isvant, but the demons hiding in the city are not the only ones. If I'd been there, I'd have solved it all with Hilde, but now I'm in the capital.

I remember the devil lurking in a mayor-run city tricked the labour revolutionaries.

There must be a lot of demons hiding in the city like those guys.

They had an accident, and when the problem comes to the surface, the paladins take care of the devil. You can kill, you can't kill.

A dead demon would run away.

And the escaped demons will move their strongholds elsewhere and do the same. The Crusader kills or misses them after the incident has erupted again.

Even if you kill, you can't help the damage you've already done.

However, if you miss it, it means that the demon who raised the power has fled elsewhere. On the other hand, it appears that these things are happening intermittently.

"Prevention is not difficult. However, there are reports of subjugation of the Devil, so it is not without merit."

That's why there are crusaders.

Prevention is difficult, but paladins do it somehow. Luckily, the demons are dying.

"That's why there's no big problem. Something like this... It used to be rare, but now it's common. The provincial lords and churches are working together to search out demons and pagans."

"Thank God for that. But what about paganism?"

"I don't know if I'm happy or sorry, but I don't think I'm doing anything. There are no reports of the execution of a pagan."

I don't know if I'm feeling well here.

How many conspiracies have I not broken?

"Very well, Saint. Then it's time."

"Hugh, do you want to do something sad?"

"We have to."

"I knew it, and I picked a few things."

- Glug.

She opened the drawer and pulled out a document like this. I naturally read down one by one to check out the quests.

What can I do for you?

If this is the king, I want to do something that can be solved instead of having no information like the last dungeon. It's kind of hard to get results twice in a row.

After checking it out, something caught my eye.

- Application form.

"Application? Where did you make your application?"

"Ah, that's it."

It was a document asking for support from some provincial churches. Does that mean that the power of your Church alone is difficult to solve?

"It is the state in which the local Church has asked for support as a substitute. It seems that the other churches nearby made a request because they couldn't withdraw their troops because of everything else. This is currently under review."

"I'm reviewing... let me read it."

I read more about it a little further from the capital.

Well, it's a local church, that's for sure.

Anyway, to summarize, something went wrong within the Church's jurisdiction. There was a series of disappearances on the side of the road leading up to the mountains, and while investigating it, the situation suddenly escalated and got fucked.

- Glug.

I handed it over to the next chapter.

- Arachne.

"Arachne?"

It is written that there is a suspicion of the appearance of a monster called Arachne.

The mountains are covered with spider webs, and very violent spider-shaped monsters are being discovered. It is said that Giant Spider and other monsters are appearing qualitatively, so they are currently investigating and suppressing everything.

- Damaged.

The army and the church are working together somehow, but it doesn't look good. That's why I called for support.

He said he was fucked.

"I suspect that a monster called Arachne has now appeared."

I know it's a spider female monster.

"A special monster, but that doesn't mean it can't be defeated by human power."

"It's just a monster, and the church is asking for help? No, more than that, the Lord and the Church have been working together."

"That's why it's a problem. Let's also read the next chapter."

I handed over the page immediately.

"I'm guessing it's a demonic monster, not a common monster. All spider monsters take strange forms and are vulnerable to divine power and holy water. It is judged that there is a high probability that a strong demon of the seedling is involved. Pollution by demons is not uncommon...

"The devil?"

"You seem to be talking about the possibility of a strong demon and Arachne working together. That's why we're discussing how to set up a punitive force."

Not only did the demon tempt people to grow their strength, but now he's working with monsters?

No, I'm not.

If you're an intelligent monster, you can do it. Why didn't those Lizardmen act like demons?

In the aftermath of the daemon gate, many demons came this way and many demons were defeated, but there are also many surviving demons.

And all the demons that have survived so far are 'strengthened'. I build strength, so I can survive and escape, and I build more power in that state.

Arachne, the powerful monster that joined forces with such a demon?

This should be difficult.

Says he's holding a base deep in the mountains and hitting the shit out of it, so topographically, these guys are fucking advantageous. No matter how many soldiers and crusaders try to subdue you, once you screw up on the terrain, it will be very difficult.

That's why the damage is continuing.

- Tough opponent.

"Uh-huh, isn't this cost-effective if I go alone?"

I felt like my blood was boiling for nothing, so I laughed.

Isn't that supposed to be stronger than Garros?

He's worth killing for.

"Rather than deploying reinforcements with a large number of crusaders, it would be better for Paladin to go alone in a costly way."

She was the one who lit the cigarette.

"But this is quite a challenge. Once you are confident, I intend to send you from Paladin, but in that case, I need you to do something."

"What can I do?"

"I'm trying to figure out their size. It's very important to know the scale as accurately as possible, not just the resolution of the crisis. That way we can send reinforcements efficiently."

In other words, there are two conditions to accomplish this quest.

1. Just go and smash it all and come.

2. If you can't do that, find out the size and information of the enemy, the truth and the previous words and return.

There are two of these.

The former is ideal as Saint, but the latter would be quite good.

"I can't stand the sight of the world getting clouded by demons. I'll do this."

Let's go to the backup.

"You're so confident. Saint Bone trusts Paladin very much. However, I think I should say that I will make a wise judgement about this. Do you understand? We must judge and act with precision."

"Uh-huh, that's what I always do. Anyway, I get it. If you have any information about this, please do everything."

In my words, the Saint nodded.

Arachne and the Devil.

It feels like a pretty unorthodox combination, but it doesn't matter much. What can you do about the spider cub? Just cut it off with power, as always.
