Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~

Ketty and Keffin, the former slaves, came back when they finished cooking.

When I received vegetables and other offerings, and this one provided spices, I got yellow cheers from Oba and the rest of the Dwarves.

Afterwards, I was having a soothing culinary discussion, but Estia found out that she couldn't cook completely, and she was completely out of the mosquito net.

I started asking Ketty and the others about the cave.

"How'd it go in there?

"The demon was moving in the direction of becoming stronger."

"It's just a lot of numbers, and on top of that, there's nothing like leaving a demonic stone like a labyrinth to disappear. Didn't really make the search."

So we're just gonna have to move on while we collect the carcasses?

Like transferring a magic bag... it had specifications that a magic bag could not be transferred to a slave.

So, inevitably, the only way I'm gonna go is to retrieve the demons?

You stay here forever, and if Rockford gets raided, you can't even see it... that's reasonable to think about.

No, if the ex-slaves were active...

"... what about the ex-slaves?

"Unfortunately, it looks like it could be used on the ground, but it's going to be a suicide bomber in the basement, so I can't use it."

"It's not that wide inside. We can't even confirm collaboration with a large number of people, so on the contrary, I think it will be difficult to move around."

"... well. Ex-slaves, you stay here after the break."

No... my wish was turned down.

Well, I knew it because you two had dark faces...

"Are we going back to slavery again?

"Or can you make me specialize in the nest of ants demons?

I decided to demand only one thing from them who were frightened.

"If we can hold on to this place and two more holes, let's promise not to treat them like bad"

"Good."

"We're gonna win our freedom by defending ourselves."

"O"

The ex-slaves were thriving that way, but they had no intention of letting criminal and war slaves go wild.

Thus, after the meal break, we and King Rockwell decided to take a nap.

The dwarves in each hole also took turns, instructing them to eat.

And when we woke up from a few hours of sleep, we started entering the hole.

"Shall we go then? Someone with a nose plug before that?

Lionel and the others immediately raised their hands.

King Rockwell and Estia, not knowing object X., tilted their necks.

"Well, okay. This is what turns any smell into clean air, so keep your noses together."

I gave everyone a nose plug.

"Are you sure I don't have to go inside, too?

"If you have Mr. Grand, you can rest assured of the protection here. And so do the people of the Dwarf kingdom. The ex-slaves are like listening to Mr. Grand! Well, it may smell a little strange, but never mind."

"Okay."

This is how I entered the cave, which I didn't want to enter.

"Is this how I should be illuminating the light?" Estea spoke to me.

"Oh. Tell me immediately if you have any concerns or things you might be able to do while you're on the move."

"Okay."

I asked Estia to help me illuminate the light in the second row.

The lead is held by a small, spinning King Rockwell, lined up by Keffin, Estea and Ketty from the left of the second row, and proceeded in a queue called Me and Lionel at the far rear.

"There's a lot of carcasses, but if you look closely, the demons are small."

"That's true. But it gradually gets bigger from the branches."

"I think the demons will show up."

"I left it to you. Place Object X on the branch and proceed."

When I tell that to Ketty and Keffin, they tell me if the tension between them has been conveyed, and now King Rockwell and Estia ask.

"Is that how much that object X is?

"And you just put that down, even if the demon weakens?

"It just stinks. That's enough for demons to avoid. You can have a drink when it's all over. By the way, if you waste it, your sage vows will punish you."

"... is that it?"

"Then why isn't it spreading?

"I guess it's because I have to drink it."

"... then the Lord is"

"Of course, you can drink without any problems."

When I said that and laughed, they blued their faces a little.

I still smelled that look before I could smell it... I immediately understood how to judge it. And I was sure I didn't feel good.

Demonic carcasses gradually increased as we progressed through the cave.

I put every carcass in a magic bag, but here Ketty and Keffin started making suspicious points with their mouths together.

"That's crazy. I should have done more toddling."

"Sure. So little is just an anomaly"

What they said was that they gave the demon ants more torpedoes.

Since the two of them are not weirdly the type to serve the conversation, consider the case of disappearing like a labyrinth when left alone for a certain amount of time and the case brought back by the ants.

"... maybe you're bringing it back.... Thinking about it, it's also possible that the demons will be stronger from now on. If so... I should have come from the beginning to collect the carcass."

"That's something no one can understand. This is how Luciel finds himself in a dangerous hole, so there's no shame in anyone."

I felt my body lighten up a bit when Lionel rang me up like that and everyone snorted in tune with it.

"Thanks. Let's do what we can first"

I leave the demons that come out to the three avant-gardes, and I devote myself to purifying magic while even collecting carcasses.

When I arrived at the branch, I stopped once I tried to place the barrel of object X as an exorcism.

"Wait a minute, please"

I showed the opposite of what Ketty and the others were trying to do when I knocked down the fantasy wand, asking God which way to go.

"You'd think I'd be childish, but this time on this route, please"

Ketty and Keffin laughed at each other's faces, agreeing.

I don't care which way you go.

"We will obey Master Lucille."

"Thanks"

I laughed at both of them and told them to move on.

King Rockwell and Estia looked like they were watching something strange, but I don't care to move on.

"We're getting a lot of demons."

As King Rockwell said, the weak but many demons have appeared on our way down the branch to the right.

I keep collecting carcasses, but the ants were reacting to the missing carcasses.

"But the movement has been slightly different."

"... Indeed"

Ketty and Keffin also seemed uncomfortable with the evidence.

"The amount of demons in this ant may also leave food unaddressed. If demons also eat together, it's no wonder there were individuals trying to be stronger."

"... it doesn't look like the remains will disappear here like a labyrinth"

Lionel seemed to learn to catch on to my words.

"Maybe we'll get stronger and stronger from now on, so we'll move on with care."

"Ha."

From the side I said that, I discovered the branch again, and I set up object X in the same way, and I decide the way to proceed with my fantasy wand.

"The passage is gradually widening"

Estea suddenly said that. I did feel that the road was getting wider.

"Apparently, we're getting more enemies."

Three avant-gardes pop up when King Rockwell tells them so.

"There doesn't seem to be any raids from the rear, but there may gradually be demons coming this way from a different aisle," Lionel told me.

"What makes you think that?

"As an organization, it's natural to protect kings and queens. It seemed irrelevant up and down in the labyrinth, but I generally heard that even demons have sequences."

"What's your source?

Jasuan, it's the Gias brothers.

I didn't think I was gathering information at some point.

In the town of Yenis, Lionel was relieved to find that he had not wasted his time either, and at the same time was impressed once again that Lionel, recognized by the Dragon Nation, was amazing.

"Now, do you want to collect"

When I start collecting carcasses, the ants attack me with their aim in mind.

But sometimes the three of them have suppressed the majority, and there are not many demons coming this way.

"I wouldn't have a problem with one or two."

Turn your fantasy wand into a sword and cleave it.

The demon that attacked me from my blind spot was crushed by a spear poked from behind.

"Didn't the whirlwind teach you that chronic hearts are forbidden?

"I trusted that there was no reason for Lionel to overlook it. I was a little scared..."

I admit you had a chronic heart that if you didn't die from a blow even if you were injured, you could handle it, and you were just too cautious this time, but you thought Lionel would come in to help you if you needed anything.

... I really trusted and trusted Lionel.

"It must be aging to die"

"Oh. So protect me."

"Let me be good"

Estea was shaking as me and Lionel laughed at each other so much and looked forward.

"Estia, if you're scared, light the light from the rear."

"…………"

I try to speak up, knocking down the attacking ants, but Estea opens her mouth first.

"A man's friendship is fine. Oh, this time it's subordination! Nice outfit."

He didn't look scared at all.

"Tell me if you're tired. I will always be your shield and your sword."

I was so happy to light the lights.

I decided to attack her with all my heart, without her.

That's how I went two more branches and I went out to an open place, where I saw a big ant demon eating dead ants walking on two legs.

"The superior species?

"A little too many."

"I can't read the strength of the opponent, so trying to slap him all at once can be a struggle"

It was true that bipedal ants, unlike other ant demons, had grown as big as goblins, but felt no pressure.

"Lionel."

I give you the sword of fire, I command you.

"Lionel will blow up the demons, Ketty will be assisted by Lionel, Keffin will collect the carcasses. My escort, King Rockwell will be escorting Estia here."

"I can fight, too, right?

"I know, but I don't feel like struggling that far here at all for some reason. So let me take care of it."

King Rockwell reluctantly compromised.

Thus began the battle against the monster, the superior individual.
