As I was cooking, Ketty came home, but I was just a little rushed.

"What's up?

"The hole is slowly starting to grow. If you don't reinforce Mr. Dolan or Mr. Grand, it's going to be a mess."

"What about the injured?

I'm not here right now.

Even at night, this town is bright there with pseudo-moons and pseudo-stars.

It is now like dusk, and if the hole continues to widen even at night, it is just in case there is a risk that the demons will overflow at once.

"Then I have the demon stone secured, and I guess I'll go too"

"I hope you don't fall this time."

"... do good"

When Ketty spoke afterwards, Dolan was going, and we came all the way to Central Square.

"You're definitely getting bigger. Dolan, is Dwarf Kingdom close to here?

"About an hour."

"You think this hole is connected to the Dwarf kingdom?

"Why not?

"... if that's the case, if you could change this place to a staircase, we could attack you from here, too, right? That way, we can disperse the demons heading for the Dwarf kingdom and the demons coming this way."

"I see. But I just don't grasp the underground structure"

Well, normally you are.

While I apologized for saying what I had in mind, I told him I would try to illuminate it with a light once.

"Ketty, I need a demon. I illuminate the lights so I don't fall, and if that number is high, the drain will be completely buried once."

All right, all right.

"Ican to make this Rockford do to demons!" I approached the hole with a spear of lights and saint dragons, illuminating the light.

The demon with his face out of the hole either activated rapidly or a large crowd pushed him, and I stuck my spear out and Ketty started attacking to keep the ants out of the hole as he jumped.

"Doran!"

When Doran touched the ground, the nest hole shrunk, but he made a stop on the verge of being completely closed.

"Dolan, it's better not to block it completely. It's better to know where it comes from, but there's no confusion."

I felt like I couldn't make it this time without thinking about why the Ant Demon was so active.

Because since Sir Leinster built this town, he hadn't heard anything about being invaded by demons.

Earthquakes alone can't explain it.

I didn't feel that way.

"If this is the case, I should have brought Paula with me and asked her to fix the ground."

"You want me to call you?

"Ketty is getting rid of me and the ants. Dolan can't be moved for what if."

"Hmm, does anyone want to use it?

"... you'll stay like this until Keffin gets back. Even the researchers in this town aren't just staring at their fingers, are they?

"Yeah, but there's no one in command."

"Dolan, you look pale, don't you? Could it be different from digging through the soil and blocking the hole?

"... if you hadn't stopped me earlier, I would have just been out of magic"

"Tell me about that first.

"Katie, where's Lionel?

"... I know I can, but I won't."

"Huh. So you'll give me some advice when I do?

Of course.

"If it's going to be a defense fight, though. More than that, demons eat demonic corpses?

"I don't know. But it's possible."

"I've heard demons fight over territory."

"We just have to take it down so we don't drop demons down there. If you eat a corpse and level it up, it's not funny."

Sure, ants were supposed to be omnivorous, so I'm pissed at boulders because I can think of eating anything.

We decided to focus on taking Keffin down until he got back.

There were many, but three, coming out of the nest hole at the same time, and there was not that much difficulty against knocking down the lead, but when the lights lit up, the nest hole was gathered with biscuits and ants stretched out.

I tried purifying it once with purifying magic but it didn't work and you can keep cutting it like this? Or should I bury it? I was lost in that.

A visitor appeared there when he was lost.

"Dear Luciel, thank you for waiting"

Keffin brought back two Dwarves.

"Back or what?

"Ha. These are Lord Glios and Lord Aresley, whose side they are near King Dwarf. They really told me to take them and I couldn't refuse... it looks like you two will tell me what to do."

"I see. Keffin, take my place. Ketty needs to step on it a little more. Doran asks me to sit with him."

"Ha."

At that moment Dwarf's two complexions changed.

I don't know if it's because I've partitioned them, or if it's because I've abandoned Doran, or if it's because Doran obeyed me so hard.

Well, their reactions didn't matter to me right now.

"My name is Luciel, and I'm a S-class healer at St. Shroud's Church. So tell us quickly what the king of the Dwarf kingdom said."

"... on this occasion?

"D, a sinner." Say it more than that, you're not going to be willing to impose anything on the Dwarf kingdom, are you?

"Dear Luciel,"

"He does his best for me. He makes me his squire and hires me as head of the R&D. Laboratory. Though I suppose it would be better if you had that in mind before they talk to you?

The two looked at each other surprised, talked hissohisso, and then opened their mouths again.

"Excuse me. My name is Glios. There are casualties from King Dwarf, so I asked him to help me, but I asked him to make sure that the healer's fee could be given to us Dwarves."

"... Keffin, what was the Dwarf Kingdom like?

"You're getting exhausted. Not everything can do battle, and it could be a few days."

"Oh my God! You make fun of us Dwarves!!

"... honestly, I don't care, so don't pinch your mouth. He is also a slave, but he is my squire. He is a very good person, able to communicate information accurately. What I want to hear now is not emotion theory."

I truncated what the man called Alios said with a bassari.

"Including food. Enough. Really?

"The food didn't seem to be a problem, but the weapons wore off quickly and I still felt like I needed a lot more when it came to treating the injured. We have confronted many demons on our way to the Dwarf Kingdom."

"Huh. Keffin, get everyone. Have Mr. Grand and Mr. Toretto come and get me, too."

"Ha."

The two Dwarves were surprised when Keffin disappeared.

I'm sure I'd be surprised if people disappeared because it looks like a metastasis.

Looking at the two Dwarves, I ask.

"As you can see, Rockford is also being attacked by demons as a result of today's earthquake. What I currently want is information in the basement. Ant demons are attacking us, for example, but are there any other demons, or are there any other ant-balls in the world? Or is there more than one? What information do you know? And by the way, this is the healer's price list."

When I give you the guidelines, I keep getting rid of the ants with Ketty.

"Are you going to help?

"I don't know. I guess it depends on how it moves. If there are many people like Arios, I won't bother going to the dangerous Dwarf kingdom because I'm not carrying Yenis anymore."

"Even in Yenis, I wish I'd split that much."

"In Yenis there were too many to bear. Ketty and the others had a tough time."

I smile bitterly and slap the ants.

"Terrible. Whatever Dolan and Paula are, we are very dear..."

"You were so shitless."

"Well, there's a part of Lionel and Ketty that can't help it because they were there."

I was talking to the two of you without looking near King Dwarf's side.

I wanted to give you a fee plan, figure out what you think, and see how their attitude would change when Mr. Grand came to this place?

I do not know the contents of the letters written by Dolan and Mr. Grand.

But I decided to believe them.

While we were defeating the demons, they never approached us, never spoke to us.

There Mr. Grand and the others came, but Mr. Grand ignored the two of them and came this way, bowing his head.

"I'm so sorry. But it's still home. I need your help."

"Well, I was ready. Now I was thinking about braiding going here and to the Dwarf Kingdom.

Dolan and Paula, Lysian ask for a dead guard here. Just protect it, never go into a hole.

Help us all keep this town alive.

I don't mind if you use all the demon stones from the demon bodies rolling around there. "

"Ha."

"I think you've come at a troublesome time, but I need their support from Mr. Toretto.

You're the only one who can compartmentalize here.

"Fo -!! Those hot eyes will roll. I'll do my best for the two disciples just this once."

Gorgeously through Mr. Toretto's wink and continue with the instructions.

"Lionel gets him to fight with a short spear, while defending himself with a big shield.

Ketty and Keffin play, I'm in charge of recovery and backup.

And Mr. Grand will come with us.

I ask Mr. Grand to negotiate everything with King Dwarf. "

"... am I good?

"Yeah. The Dwarves I trust in this world are currently Mr. Dran, Paula. And only three of Mr. Grand."

"... ok. That's a lot different in a few years."

"Maybe it's because you have a reliable associate on your side."

To Mr. Grand's bitter laughter, I laughed and gave it back, only solidifying my resolve for one thing.

In the worst case scenario, the Dwarf Kingdom will survive its collapse.
