Kujonin

Episode 20

As the sun fell and the sunset fell on the west mountain, a carriage loaded with plenty of Wyvern meat on the bed began to drive down the highway.

He will arrive in the village in an hour.

Upon arriving at the village, it was decided that Wyvern meat would be served immediately, and the festival began.

The villagers, dressed in oriental folk costumes, welcomed us and stayed at the village mayor's house.

Served with cloudy white wine, Wyvern meat was roasted in the village square.

The seasoning was only salt and the peppers owned by the merchant, but the meat of Wyvern was the best.

It is pale white, soft and odorless.

In the square where all the villagers gathered, village girls danced.

Villagers, merchants, and adventurers staying in the village drink and sing songs everywhere.

After finishing the Wyvern meat, Isle approached as she was drinking while being told by Teru.

"Isn't it bad? I've been serving Wyvern meat without permission."

"No, it's better to have a banquet together when a big game is caught.

"Okay, that was good. If Naoki didn't support me at that time, it would be a bit dangerous."

"As expected, it was a flock. I'm just going to shoot it down."

"I saw Naoki fighting for the first time."

"Oh, I feel like I've fought a monster for the first time."

I was going to say it casually, but both Isle and Tell were surprised.

"How did you raise your level at all? You"

"So it's an extermination job."

"Do you shoot magic like fighting Wyvern today?"

"No, today is my first magic circle."

As a matter of fact, if you let your skill be canceled, it depends largely on your image.

If you think of it as a magic circle, you can see the magic circle without permission.

I'm just drawing it, so if anyone is studying the magic circle without using any skill points, I think I'll be blown away.

"Because I defeat Wyvern in my first magic circle, there is something out of specification."

Isle moans alcohol.

"Don't think about Naoki-sama with common sense. It seems faster to get used to thinking. At first I understood the meaning of saying," Get used to me. "

Tell said while putting sake in the Isle cup.

"Get used to it, maybe you won't be strong without getting used to it."

Isle talks to the cup.

"Thank you very much tonight."

An old man with a white beard talked to us.

"I'm the grandfather who does the head of this village."

"Oh, thank you.

"No, this year, the Wyvern has suffered a lot, and it will be a memorial for the killed."

"Is it rare for Wyverns to appear around here?"

I asked the mayor.

"Yeah. In the past, the mountain Red Dragon protected the village from Wyvern, so I never came to this village, but now it is said that the Red Dragon has also left the mountain."

"Dragon species are rare. Have you been hunted by a named adventurer?"

Isle asked the mayor.

"Now it's just a journey stop. I don't always know which adventurers are strong and which ones are weak. Maybe it is. "

"I also want to defeat the Red Dragon if I have one. If you defeat it, you can be ranked A."

Isle tells me.

I'm not interested in the ranks, but if the Red Dragon is gone and the Wyverns are on the rise, you'd better get rid of them.

In fact, it is common for predators to disappear and prey to explode.

The Wyvern may also be a predator, so if you don't hunt in a balanced way, weaker monsters can grow again.

The balance can only be seen in years.

Unlike Vespa Hornets and Bagroaches, if Wyvern is increasing due to nature, you can leave it alone, but humans are being damaged, so you can't pretend to see it.

"You have a difficult face. Naoki."

Tell looks into my face.

"Oh, yeah, a little. Mayor, has the number of Wyverns increased in the last few years? Did you ever see that somebody was hunting?"

"Yes. It is said that the Wyvern will increase about once every 30 years. It was said that the Wyvern would be eaten by the mountain's Red Dragon, but last year was just once every 30 years. But the red dragon has not come out and the Wyvern has increased. ''

"I see. I'm going to get rid of Wyvern tomorrow."

The mayor opened his eyes astonishingly.

"Can you do that?"

"Yes, maybe. Is the Wyvern's nest a mountain?"

"That's right"

"Oh, finally you can't get rid of Naoki!"

I'm excited to see this.

"Well, please, because when Wyvern comes out, traffic will be delayed and nobody will come to the village."

"What's the reward?"

Tell told me what was important.

"In our village there is a tree called Zaza, which rarely blooms, but it is said that it blooms once every 30 years and bears fruit the next year. Just a lot of fruit this year So why not pay the reward with Zaza? It's a highly traded item in town. "

"That's okay."

Maybe it's a natural cycle of more demons eating Zaza nuts and more Wyverns.

"So, if you want to sleep, we'll have a bed for you."

The village chief said, and he left for a large house outside the village.

Then we drank for a while and slept on the bed prepared at the village mayor's house.

The next morning, we take Teru and Aisle up the mountain.

I left the village and walked for about an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

It is said that the carriage goes from here to the port town by a detour route.

The trees are getting lower as we climb.

Occasionally, I saw bats and bat-type monsters like shobusuri fly.

Both flew towards the mountains.

The residence may be close.

During the break, he ate a sandwich, and Ayr was demolishing an unbroken monster the day before.

We put meat and leather in an item bag and crush the remaining bone into powder.

Collect the bones, put them in a bag and break into pieces.

"What is it used for?"

Aisle asked.

"It's calcium. It's nutrition."

"What is that, isn't it your secret?"

"No. I did it for the first time. I tried to lick when I was frustrated."

"Fun"

Isle was losing interest.

After the break, he fully opened his detection skills and explored Wyvern's home.

The entrance to the cave was on the middle of the mountain, where the trees had started to disappear and the rocks had begun.
