A green creature shrinking its body in a wooden box. If you look at something like a ruby on its head, you can see that it's not a normal animal, it's a beast.

Criston nodded loudly at the wooden box.

"Definitely. Carbuncle. Moreover, given the darkness of the stone's head, I think it is probably an individual brought from the woods in the Meal region. Yeah, I don't think I'm hurt, either. I'm worried about my nutritional status, but I think I'm feeling better. It's okay to protect it like this, right?

"Yes, that's why I brought Sochi."

Brigitta nodded.

Criston has just begun preparations to take this carbuncle back to the Magic Life Sanctuary in King's Landing.

"Well, the Warawa have to see where it came from and how it came from."

There are two tasks that Taketo and the others were instructed to do. One is the protection of carbundles. The other is to clarify the route of carbuncle smuggling. The commander told me to destroy it if possible.

According to vigilante accounts, the carbuncle was seized in the Philippine backtown. It seems that there was this carbuncle among the goods handled by the man who runs the antique shop.

Incidentally, possession of a beast like a carbuncle is prohibited in principle by the laws of the Kingdom. Exceptionally, possession may be permitted, but it is subject to rigorous scrutiny. Of course, the store never had a permit. He didn't even seem to have permission to open a store in the Philippine city in the first place, so he was picked up by the vigilante.

Let's take the vigilante to the shop.

Then, the store owner was in the middle of sorting things out. There was a danger of being alerted and escaped when a large number of people went to the store, so Chante and Taketo were the only two people who came to the store. Brigitta had to turn around the back door to block the escape route.

Come on, let's go.

According to Taketo's words, Chante gripped his hands in front of his chest.

Yeah. I'll do my best. If anything happens, I'll shock every store. "

Chante's power is to cause small lightning. The first time I met her, I dropped a little thunder on the poachers' heads and disabled them. Her lightning has the effect of purely attacking and temporarily paralyzing the opponent's body. On the other hand, it seems convenient to be hit by a lot of humans at once, and some things that are more attractive to lightning can fall unexpectedly.

(Be careful not to get involved inadvertently....)

With that in mind, Taketto followed Chante a little behind him. When she went to the store, she looked scared, and the anxiety in her heart came from her thin back.

The shop was small in size only about four and a half tatami mats, with pots and old swords and figurines that I didn't know well placed in a narrow place. There are animal skins and dried matter hanging from the ceiling.

"Hello... Ah... are we closed today?

In Chante's voice, the owner of the shop who was cleaning up behind the shop looked at us and raised his hips. He was a middle-aged man about forty years old with a bald head who was short, slender and had impressive rough eyes.

"Ah, sorry, miss. I don't like the shop. I have to go far on a little sudden errand."

Phew. Is that so? That's a shame. I wanted to take a slow look at it because it's full of interesting stuff. "

Chante searches the shop. You said it was a mess, but you tried to leave.

The owner of the store scratched the head with little hair because of the trouble caused by Chante.

"Lady. Can I help you? Even if it's not in the store, I'll bring you some products that are in the back."

It seems that the store owner decided to deal with Chante.

"Really. I'm looking for a cute animal. It's got a big, fluffy tail with green fur on it...."

When Chante stops looking for the goods, she smiles at the shopkeeper.

"It's an animal with a red jewel on it."

Chante's words, pointing to her forehead (Hita), smiled, and the owner's face changed. Taketo repeated his words to chase after him.

"It's called a carbuncle. Someone told me it was sold in this store."

The dialog seemed to have been decided, and the owner began to step back from the shop to leave Chante and Taketo.

"But... perhaps it's a matrix!? So soon!? Damn it... I didn't expect to be here so soon."

The store owner was about to fall down with a kick on the product placed on the floor, but he managed to keep his position on the shelf and still tried to escape.

"Kh...."

The owner rushes into the back of the shop as he tries to escape from the tightly approaching tacket. And when I kicked open the door, I jumped out.

However, when Taketo followed the owner through the door, the owner fell on the back road. In front of you is a bridge where you put your eyelids back on. As expected, the owner petrified Brigitta's unusual eyes waiting behind her.

(Ah, hey. If we had caught up a little faster, I could have petrified it with you.)

When I inadvertently looked into my eyes, I was indiscriminately petrified, so I had to be more careful from now on, and as I carved it into my heart, the tacket slightly lifted the body of the shopkeeper who rolled under my feet to my shoulders.

"Yes, make sure. So, where are we taking this?

The petrified man's body was heavy enough to eat into his shoulders.
