I Became a Regulatory Official for the Poaching of Monsters, but the Rescued Monsters are trying to Eat Me

The priest's swallowing was a wooden spirit in the cave.

Everyone's expression is dark and sinking, and there's no word for misery. It was too late, we didn't make it. The tacket bites its lips and grips the cobblestick.

"Brigitta"

"I know."

Chante and Brigitta rushed towards Phoenix. And when I opened the bag I was wearing on my shoulder, I removed the treatment kit from inside and immediately hit the treatment of Phoenix.

"Perhaps... this was frozen by the power of the ice spirit."

"Phoenix is a creature close to the Spirit of Fire. That would make you vulnerable to ice spirits."

They are used to the treatment of techipaki and Phoenix. I'm sure this isn't uncommon.

Taketo peeked into the empty nest, feeling something that didn't fall into his heart.

(Why?... why didn't you take Phoenix so far? If we weaken it this far, we can carry it easily, right? Why did you just break the eggs...)

As he climbed over the hive, the tacket stepped into the nest.

It was a ball-shaped nest of dead trees with fluffy red feathers lined up like a mat. That Phoenix must have dusted his feathers and laid them for the eggs. It seems that there were six eggs in total, but now all of them are broken into shells. The eggs were large enough to fit in as thinly as Chante's body.

The tacket knelt in front of one shell and touched the inside of the shell by hand. The inside of the egg is rough and dry. It is possible that it is difficult to carry each egg, so I took out only the contents and put them in a barrel. Phoenix's body is a cure for all diseases. So, did you take away only the contents of the most easily carried eggs?

Or...

Takets carefully look around the eggs.

(This is....)

The tacket took a small feather that had fallen by the egg. Unlike the red feathers laid across the nest, it was lighter yellow. Besides, the size of the feather is much smaller and fluffier than the red feather. Looking at the feathers, the tacket is sure.

Hey.

As Taketo stood up with his fingers pinched, he called out to Chante, who was treating Phoenix, and to the priests who were crouching and crying.

"Our work isn't over yet."

Huh?

Chante, who was wearing a bandage around the Phoenix wings, looks back. She showed her the yellow feathers in her hand.

"Probably. This egg may have been feathered, not broken and stolen. This little feather fell around the egg, though slightly. This is probably the feather of the chick Hina. I think he was just born."

The poachers may have broken in here a few times and looked forward to the opportunity.

"The poachers weakened their parents' Phoenix and stole only their chicks, Hina. If so, what do we do?"

"Chick, you're going to get Hina back, right?

Taketo nods to Brigitta's words.

"Let's hurry. If you don't hurry, you'll be in trouble if you're brought to the big city black market. Before that happens."

I can feel something so hot inside the tacket that I can't breathe.

I will not forgive those who threatened the peaceful lives of Phoenix and took the chick Hina.

"Capture the poachers and return Hina to Phoenix."

Brigitta and Chante nodded quietly in his words.

And when Taketh came out of the nest, he went to the priest, which was still crouched, and crouched down, and laid his hand on his back.

"We'll do what we have to do. So do what you have to do. I had that Phoenix first aid. But I'm not ready to let it go. I asked you for medical attention."

Whether the word had arrived or not, the priest's body, which had trembled little by little, stopped sharply. As he slowly lifts his face, he wipes his face with his arms and looks at the tacket. There was already a strong light in his eyes. He nods hard.

"In the middle of this mountain, there is a herb that works well for the wounds. I'll get it."

"Yeah, I asked for it."

The priest nodded again.

Put the priest in the nest of Phoenix, and the three men of Chante, Brigitta, and Taketo descend down the mountain. On the way, I called Ulu for a ride and suddenly ran down the mountain.

Where the hell were the poachers? Given the size of that egg, the chick "Hina" should also be quite large. It should take a lot of people to get it out of the mountain, and if someone saw it, it would be very noticeable.

Once back in Sheila Village, wondering if there was any new sightings of the poachers, there was a sign of Karon.

Karon, who heard about the situation from Chante, roared.

"We've been gathering information about poachers in neighboring towns and villages, but they seem to be one of the bandits who started to settle around here about last month. It appears to have been made a castle by crossing abandoned houses and unused warehouses dotted around the area, some of which have been identified to some extent. Phoenix chicks are pretty big, aren't they?"

"Even the eggs were about the length of a walrus.

Karon nods to Brigitta's words.

"Six chicks of that size. The noise will be quite high, so it will probably be quite noticeable if you travel by carriage or the like. There is one street that passes near this city. Ask the vigilantes and guards in the key towns and villages to let you know if there's anything suspicious going on. But so far, no such information has come in."

"Wait a minute. How the hell are you gonna tell me...?

Taketo answered a lot of questions that came to mind. I don't think there are cell phones or emails in this world. I wondered how you could tell me. Instead of answering the question of the tacket, Karon gently tapped his chest pocket with a tongue and fingers. Then, your chest pocket starts pounding all by itself. And the lid of my pocket opened. I see a small head.

Something came out!? And as the tacket gazed intriguingly, Karon pulled the lid off the pocket that was getting in the way with his fingers. Behind it was a tiny black head. It was some kind of small animal. Karon gently removes the small animal from his pocket by hand.

It was a tiny bat, about the size of a palm, with a torso less than ten centimeters. The bat spreads its big wings to stretch once on the hand of Karon and folds back quickly. When the bat spread its wings, the back that was visible for a moment became white.

"This is called a telegram bat. These children always act in a flock, always following their boss, Whiteback, and the other bats. I gave each of her brothers to the guards of the city and village. If there is anything, you are supposed to write to me and let me go. Then the child returns straight back to this white back child."

Indeed, this bat has a white back. I wonder why this is called a whiteback.

When I was talking about it, something small just passed by over the taxis at high speed.

"Look, when I was talking to you, one of them just came back."

The little thing flew in an arc over the tackets, turning several times, and then hanged in line with the whiteback child on Karon's stretched arm. The bat has a small cylinder on its back. Karon gently removed the cylinder and opened it. There was a small piece of paper inside.

Reading the paper, Karon nodded and once again put the bats in his pocket and took the map out of the bag he was wearing on his back.

"Er... there it is. Here. This abandoned house at the foot of Mount Zara, a short distance from the street, has been home to a group of unfamiliar locals for hours. I wonder if poachers are likely to be lurking here."

"... you're amazing."

Taketo was honestly surprised at Karon's high information-gathering capability. Even though I had the help of the locals, it was surprising in the first place to ask the locals to help me in this short period of time. Thanks to the royal authority, Hinotori... the locals want to help Phoenix, or maybe this careless caron is actually very popular outside... I don't know why, but it's not what I'm saying right now.

"Collecting information is the most important thing to get rid of poachers."

"I really think that's exactly right now. Why are you going? Now"

Chante and Brigitta nodded to Taketo's words.

"Yes, let's go!

"Of course it is. I hope there's still a chick there."

Quickly, I took Ulu to the foot of Mt. Zara. Karon said that there was a horse that came aboard, so he went with Ulu on that horse. The sun had already set in the western sky. It was thought that the poachers would not move during the night, but it is also possible that in the morning they would move somewhere else. There was no immediate respite.

Mount Zara. It was not a very tall mountain, but it was abandoned in the green forest at the foot of the foot. Once we have confirmed the location of the abandoned house, we will get off a little further away and discuss the future operation easily for the time being. The sun has already fallen abundantly, and there are only a few moonlights around.

"In this darkness, Brigitta's eyes may not be very effective."

In Karon's words, Brigitta slapped her eyelids.

"This eye of Walawa is meaningless unless you look at it. In the dark, it's half as effective."

Karon nods at the words.

"So, Brigitta, get on Ulu and wait outside to help secure the leaked poacher."

Okay, I got it.

Then Karon turned toward the tacket.

"And the tacket. First you sneak into that abandoned house and scout it for poachers and chicks."

"Eh, me alone?

I didn't think I was acting alone all of a sudden.

"Yes, I can't help scouting multiple scouts. If you give me a signal, I'll go inside with Chante and take the poacher into custody."

"Wait a minute. It's so dark, how do you signal me?

"If you wave your hand by the window or something, I'll be able to see through the night."

"Really?... okay."

I was a little worried, but I decided to get to each position as soon as my role was decided. Taketo grabs a Spirit Gun from the Holster and approaches the abandoned house alone.

Your heart beats more as you approach. He held the grip of the Spirit Gun back with his gentle sweaty hand and swallowed the raw saliva.
