Hazure Skill “Kage ga Usui” o Motsu Guild Shokuin ga, Jitsuha Densetsu no Ansatsusha

After my guild, I came to the woods.

'Shadow', the conductor Lila put out, is stuck around my waist.

"The lizard demon you saw was not the size of an armored tortoise your lord was talking about, but the size of a dog. Maybe he's here to find out what caused the armored tortoise. '

It could be.

If the owners were the same, what would they be doing letting the demons go into those woods?

Ki, Ki, and 'Shadow' point in the direction. As I walked that way, the watchman 'Shadow' stood still among the trees.

Keys, keys, and watchmen pointed in a different direction.

When things started to sound, Lila's lizard-shaped demons appeared out of the shadows.

His whole body is covered in thorns and resembles a hare.

Tails and tricks can be called lizards.

Do you want to keep it with thorn lizards?

Watching how things are going, the thorny lizard, who sounds and walks through the decaying soil, occasionally puts his nose on the ground to explore something.

Just around the time I defeated the armored tortoise.

As Lila expected, maybe she came to investigate.

Thorn lizards climb trees and look around.

Apparently the thorn is the only one on the back. It is probably because it is difficult to travel on the abdominal side.

He flies off a branch of a tree and lands, and walks his tail to another.

Around the belly......

"Lyla, did you see that?"

Talk to 'Shadow' in a quiet voice.

"Uhm. For a moment, but I saw something like the same surgical language around my belly as a collar"

"It's probably the same as the armored tortoise."

"If so, it's a pet, and the owner seems to be the same person."

Then thorny lizards wandered around for a while.

I follow the thorny lizard as I assimilate the signs around me. Lyla's "Shadow" for the preaching also stuck to me again and watched how it went.

Was the investigation sufficient, the thorny lizard left the forest?

"Will you return to the Lord?"

"Probably will"

The same goes for armored turtles, but it catches on to a demon that neither me nor Lyla know.

I'm also concerned that the same person is using it.

As we tailed the thorn lizard as planned, it came to a small lake away from the woods. It's a lake downstream of the river that runs through the woods, not so far from the town of Lahati where we live.

At short notice, and looking around, the thorn lizard entered the lake.

"Underwater? The tail goes so far... '

"That demon doesn't have a body that can live underwater. You're gonna dive somewhere else."

But we have to get ready.

"Useless."

Take a deep breath once and quietly enter the lake to avoid making any noise.

"Are you all right? It's underwater, right?

Without answering, I look for the thorny lizard.

I've never seen Lyla swim.

Perhaps it is not for the Demons to enter the natural waters in the first place.

The thorn lizard found swims over a cavernous dark hole as he busily bumps his four legs.

Kukuku, and 'Shadow' pulls his clothes.

'Hey, can't you breathe?

Exactly. Even I can't breathe here. I don't have Ella.

'And you're going to die. Don't go up to shore!

There's no way you can talk to me. Lila's gonna talk to me about this.

Maybe you don't know you can't talk in the water.

Activate Skill 'Shadow Thin'.

What's going on in the water makes things sound and air sound, making it easier for the subject to notice. It was to prevent it.

Thorny lizards, who don't look like they realize, enter the cave. I chased him. I swim in the cave for a while too, and the thorny lizard gets out of the water. Apparently, this cave is at the entrance and exit.

I also put my head out quietly, making sure I didn't feel any signs, and lifted my body to the edge.

'Oh, my God, are you immortal...!?

Whatever the surprise Lyla, follow the thorny lizard.

Take a breath up just a little and head back through the cave.

If the owner is behind this, it's something he lives in a lot of places.

As I had an armored tortoise...... how do I get it in and out?

The cave is not wide enough for such a giant to pass through.

As we progressed, the signs of demons grew stronger.

When I finally got out to the open place, it was a huge underground space.

It's dim, but I know what it is.

I hear demonic roars and warcraft roars intermittently. They were all caged.

"What... is this place..."

"They're doing something with demons and warcraft."

The surgical language found on the collar had the effect of inversely proportioning magic power.

If you can do that, it may be easy to control demons and warcraft or amplify their magic powers.

I felt signs of being like a person behind my back.

- Skill activated.

It will be difficult to see me using my skills. Besides it's dim. I didn't even make enough of it to look like him.

Anyone involved here or...?

Just fine. I need to ask you something.

"Grr......!?

I instantly took the back of him and poked my thumb at him so I could smash his throat at any moment.

"Hey what...!? And, hostile."

Hmm? This voice...

"The eagle just lost his way..."

"Oh. I wonder if such a cheap lie would make sense."

Dee's voice also.

Looking back, there was Dee, and if you look closely, it was Roger I was about to smash my throat.

Ha, and I ate the shoulder watermark. When I let Roger go, I sat down nagging.

"What are you doing here"

"Ki, is that you...! Yes, all of a sudden I've been throbbing! Don't be silly!

"Be quiet, silly elf"

Dee explained it to me instead.

"We heard about this underground space when we were gathering information to find out where Wawerk was. So I came here to interrupt you more."

They're pretty sure this is the place that has something to do with Wawark.

"Hey, Captain Roger."

Roger was shivering, puffy.

"Ko, Ko, I was wondering if they were going to kill me, oh, I thought... just a little, out, killer... I was scared..."

"The one who suddenly shows up behind my back is bad"

"Oh no - if you like loran, reason, no, exhaust ♡"

Dee looks at my body with her index finger.

"We're both safe and above all."

Roger shakily turned his back on Lila's voice, which "Shadow" emits.

"Dear Lily La, the tail is superior. I miss seeing this' shadow 'a lot too..."

"Immerse yourself in your memories later."

"Ha."

You think it's Lila's split, and Roger looked like he was taking care of 'Shadow'.

"Dee, you figured something out, huh?

"Yeah, I didn't hear that it was clearly a warwork, but I heard a story about someone doing some research in an unsunny underground space."

Surgical language and development, unsunny underground spaces... it's not that hard to associate wawork from them.

Ohon, and Roger, who coughs, continued the explanation.

"I heard the story in a tavern where adventurers often gather. There are people who are studying demons and developing and improving them."

"From someone with the skills to use demons, I'd appreciate a study."

'So the concubines don't know. If we're improving existing species or developing new species.'

If my personal view is that demons serving demons become stronger, that's a good thing.

If that research is to be applied to something in the future, this underground space may be missed as a technological advance.

However, as an Alliance employee, I can't pass it up, given the dangers of improved or developed demons being out of control.

An improved species-like demon is roaming the woods and making people anxious.

If there is more damage in the future, there will also be more extra work.

"Crush it. As soon as possible."
