A ball about one meter rolling in the woods.

That's roughly… about a hundred?

Avoiding trees dexterously, rush into demons and monsters without hesitation.

Rather, it seems that they are rushing towards demons and beasts.

And the identity is revealed.

When I thought the ball had collapsed, my limbs jumped out and were eating monsters and beasts that had fallen due to the rush.

When I saw it ...

A ferocious armadillo?

It seems to be a monster named Deathball.

Their path was to Taiki's village.

"If you keep the speed as it is, will you reach Taiki's village in about three days?"

I was held by Gran Maria and was observing it from above.

The main damage is the rabbit with fangs.

The big boar has endured the rush, but he hates and escapes.

"I found it well."

The location is southeast of the village.

It is far away from the range of the Gran Maria's guard.

"After the festival, the Lamia were warned to be careful because there are signs that a large number of death balls will occur."

The Harpies leave the village around vigilantly, and the Gran Marias go scouting in the distance.

"I saw the monster fleeing and thought it was behind it.

So that's it.

"How are the Lamias killing Deathball?"

"It seems to block the entrance to the dungeon."

......

Certainly, you may just wait for it to pass by, but ...

"It seems that we will not do anything dangerous because there are few parts to eat."

Doesn't it fit the risk?

But that is not the case in Taiki's village.

If you come to Taiki's village as it is, the fields will be wiped out.

......

Huh.

I ask Gran Maria to drop me in front of the front row of the death ball.

And set up [universal agricultural tools].

Bad, you are pests.

Death balls, both spherical and beast-like, have been used as fertilizer without any problem.

Indeed, not everything was going to me, some turned away and escaped.

Well, a small number can be missed.

Unless you get close to the village.

"As expected, my spear couldn't penetrate ..."

"Because the skin looked hard."

The attack of the fanged rabbit was completely useless.

But the problem was solved.

It was a troublesome opponent.

Kudel came hurriedly.

"I found about 2,000 Death Balls! 5 minutes walk from here! I'm heading here!"

......

……Two thousand?

Not two hundred?

"Approximately 2,000. Make a square this way by hand and count the number in it .. By the number of these squares."

"Mayor. This is a way to count enemy soldiers in battle.

Really.

No, I didn't doubt ...

Two thousand can't help.

Earlier, I knew about the hundred, but they're not stupid.

If you find you can't beat, avoid it and proceed.

When I defeated it, I didn't come to me and I had to chase.

It was pretty hard.

I had Gran Maria carry it to the front of a flock of deathball several times.

And half a day to beat one hundred.

Even if I fought day and night ... Is it possible to kill half?

It would be nice if they could change course when half of them were crushed ...

Did you make a mistake?

He should have sought to defend the village without overthrowing.

No, I have to evacuate the villagers more than regret ...

Damn, the sun is about to set.

A horde of death balls appeared to make me more impatient.

Have you come this far?

"Grand Maria, Kudel! Order to evacuate to the village! Bring what you have ..."

A black shadow jumped out of the forest to block my orders.

Are you from the village?

That's Zabton's children.

Dozens, or hundreds?

But it's not chaotic.

They form a group of four animals, and fly by hanging a thread on a tree.

One raised his feet and greeted me, and headed to the hordes of deathball.

The rest was just watching.

Zabton's children use a thread to create an improvised net to catch and lift the death ball.

The hard defense of the death ball is no problem unless you think about killing.

The sun set and rose again.

There are countless ... maybe two thousand ... death balls hanging in front of my eyes.

A guy who doesn't move in a spherical shape, a guy who moves in a beast shape.

It's a strange sight.

I wondered what to do, but I ate rabbits with tusks and big boars.

I also eat monsters and monsters that I rarely see.

So that's it.

If it doesn't roll, can you beat it?

Indeed, he wouldn't be close to the children of Zabton who captured Deathball, but ...

"Do you not eat?"

When I asked a nearby Zabton child, he gestured that potatoes were better.

all right.

When you get home, it's a potato party.

"Grand Maria, Kudel. How was it?"

The evacuation order in the village was canceled because the children of Zabton came.

At night, my escort.

Right now I was asked to see if there was another death ball.

"It looks okay"

"I found the escaped individual but moved in the exact opposite direction to the village."

For now, I speared it with a spear, but sadly lift it up as it was useless.

Anyway, is this the solution?

Ask the child of Zabton and squeeze a few death balls and bring them home.

I felt that I couldn't manage to use the hard hull, and that Armadillo was definitely edible.

The next program that started when I finished watching the idol farmer program I was watching, had a corner introducing strange foods from all over the world, and was eating armadillo.

Well, it is an armadillo type and not an armadillo, so I can't guarantee the taste ...

If you look at the monsters and monsters swarming on the hanging death ball, the taste is not bad.

However, the shelter will not break the nets made by the children of Zabton.

Return to the village and explain the situation.

The villagers weren't particularly worried, but I want them to feel a little more danger.

When I thought so, a child of Kuro came and bite a death ball brought back.

Pierced the hard skin.

And show off to me proudly.

......

So that's it.

Rusty tears off the skin of Deathball with his bare hands.

I seemed too worried.

Then, the outer skin that I thought could be used as material became garbage.

For the time being, a potato party for the children of Zabton.

Steamed, sashimi, grilled and fried.

Various prepared.

Secretly potato salad is popular.

Since I am lonely if it is only potatoes, I also put sweet potatoes.

Created a college potato.

It is my style not to paint black sesame.

The main are the Zabton children who came to help, but they won't let others feed.

The number of people gradually increased, and eventually it became like a banquet.

Yes, bake the meat.

Blacks are also meat.

Also try using meat of death ball.

Uh, Urza.

For now, it's garbage, but if you chop it with a sword, it's troublesome to clear it out ...

That sword is so sharp.

Keep it in the place where it was properly told.

The answer is fine, but what if you forget to sleep overnight?

Huh.

I thought it would be strong if I made something like armor with the skin of the death ball, but it doesn't seem too hard.

Should we deal with the spears of the inaccessible Gran Maria?

Now let's think about it.

The skin of the death ball was cut off, but it was just good to make it into a ball.

It's a black toy.

The meat of Deathball is ... light and chicken-like.

not bad.

However, the amount is small.

If you want to hunt with a [universal farming tool], the death ball is rather small.

The big boar is easier to hunt.

......

Do I need to hunt?

Is Lamia's response correct?

It's the wisdom of those who have lived for a long time.

Next time, let's talk a little more.

For giants living in northern dungeons.

Night.

Was it my courage this time?

No, it was wrong that I tried to do it alone.

Let's cooperate with other people a little more.

Sleep while reflecting.

I'm different from Urza.

You should remember when you sleep.
