Kujonin

Episode 24

I heard in the guild that there are many demons.

He told me the general characteristics and immediately told where he was.

Normally, the scholars go to the savage lands as crew members of the ship to investigate monsters, but the scholars who Ayl taught recently seem to have been stuck at home and haven't seen them.

An uncle at the guild's reception desk showed me the map and showed me where my house was.

When I widened my detection skills, I was within the detection range.

However, it seems that the people inside are weak or have become abnormal.

"Let's hurry!"

"Yes"

Leaves the guild and goes to the house of the demonologist while telling Teru the circumstances.

"So, there can be dangerous situations?"

"Yes. There is no guarantee that sickness is spreading in the house. I don't think there will be immediate death, but keep this Misanga."

I handed the Misanga made last night.

I and Teru tied Misanga on their wrists and arrived at the house of the Demonologist.

It turns out that the house is a one-story stone building, and its age may be considerable.

There was a dead field in the yard, and there was a toilet beside the crumbling wall.

There is no response even if you hit the door.

You can tell that you are lying on the floor with your detection skills.

I unlocked the door at the magic circle.

Muddy air is stagnant when entering.

The shutters of the windows were closed and the lights of the lamp had disappeared.

It's dark, but it's visible to me with detection skills.

There is no poison in the air.

Tell Tell to open the window and go to the house owner.

The demonologist was a young woman, wearing a sooty robe.

Her gray hair is disturbed, but she has a neat look and sheer white skin.

He is as tall as me or taller, but his body is thin and thin like paper.

Grab the thin arm of a demonologist and check the pulse.

Seems quite weak, but alive.

I took the healing pill out of the item bag, sprinkled it slightly on the body of the demon scholar, and gave it through my mouth, as if it could open my mouth.

"I don't know who, but it helped. Yeah, wait a minute ..."

The demon scholar, wondering if he stood up, ran to the toilet in the garden.

If she thought that the condition was food poisoning, Teru brought moldy bread from the kitchen.

"It looks like you were eating this."

"I'm determined to break my belly."

I decided to clean up the kitchen and have Tell make a soup that looks good on my stomach.

There was something suspicious in the pot in the kitchen, so put it aside and put a plate on the oven to draw the magic circle of IH.

I took out the ingredients and the pot from the item bag, handed it to Tell, and decided to go around the room and clean up.

I left the room, which seemed to be a study with a bunch of paper scattered, without doing anything.

In the room where a lot of plants are growing, almost immovable monsters were detected.

There must be a demon in the plant.

I didn't clean up here as it might be a kind of research.

The water in the jar was cloudy, so I replaced it and watered a little around the withering plants.

I don't know how much water to give, and if I give too much water, some species will rot, so I've reduced it.

In the bedroom, we cleaned up and set up a ba-san that was taken out of the item bag, creating a barrier throughout the room.

Powerful ba-san covered the entire room with white smoke. The mites and fleas will have died.

When the smoke had subsided, I cleaned it up again.

The sheets were filled with water in a tub near them for washing.

The detergent used was the soap previously made.

It smells good citrus.

If you draw a magic circle to create a small whirlwind in the tub, you will have an instant washing machine.

Go outside with the tub, fix the broken clothesline, stretch the string and dry the sheets.

Teru, who has finished making the soup, has gone outside to help me.

When they were drying the sheets, a wobbler and a magician came out of the toilet.

"I'm sorry."

The demon scholar bowed toward me and Tell.

"For the time being, it's better to eat well and rest a little."

Lend a shoulder to a demonologist and enter the house.

Tell prepares the soup and feeds it to a demon scholar.

Demon scholars were hungry and were eating well, even though they were hungry.

By the way, when I baked the Wyvern meat and served it, I ate deliciously.

"I've been eating human-like food for the first time in a long time. Thank you. I'm Bertha, a magician."

"Naoki, an adventurer doing pest control."

"Tell of Naoki's slave"

Versa introduced himself and we introduced himself.

"What is pest control?"

"I'm exterminating insects and rats in the house."

Listening to my description, Bersa looked strange.

"Can I earn enough to have a slave?"

"Yeah, that's a good deal.

"That's right, so it is. So what kind of monster do you want to know?"

Tell is putting tea after meals.

Versa asked while drinking the tea.

"Tell me anything about monsters. What kind of monsters are beyond the sea, what is unusual, what is the ecology of ordinary monsters, where you go and where you can get a monster book. Everything. Be aware that you were an adventurer without knowing it. ''

When I explained, Bersa was listening, nodding at all.

"I see, it's an unusual guy. Naoki is usually an adventurer, so he usually thinks he can use a sword or magic to defeat him.

Bersa, who had become reddish because she ate rice, went to her study while rubbing her chin with her hand.

After fishing in the study, Bersa returned and had a book in her hand.

"This is a book written by my teacher, a demon scholar, about the ecology of small demons that are close to me. Read on for now. There are several other demon books But this book has the least lie. ''

I received the book "Lissa's Devil's Notebook" and turned over the contents.

There were illustrations of the monsters often seen around here, such as mascara and bag roach, with illustrations.

In addition to the ecosystem and weaknesses, it also describes what you like, and it was a good book.

"This is a good book"

I was honestly impressed.

"Yes, I'll lend you the book. Most of the magicians in the city are inspired by the book. Many people try to find new species on a boat. I have a wealthy family, so I'm in a fight for contention. I lost the competition and stayed at home and thinking about a new theory ... I'm running out of money.

While talking, Versa gradually lost her spirit.

"Can I tell me more about demons if I give out food and money?"

"e!?"

Bersa looked up in surprise at my words.

"If I give food and money, can I continue my research?"

"Yeah ... I'm a lover, Naoki. I can't make money by investing in research."

"It depends on Versa's work, and my goal is not to make money, but to know about demons."

He put all the money he had on the table from the item bag.

"Is this enough for the time being?"

Is there about 5000 knots for 50 gold coins?

Wyvern leather was sold at a good price, so I had a good deal.

"Is this so much?"

"Oh, there's Wyvern meat and vegetables, so I'll leave it. Can I come again tomorrow?"

"of course"

"By then, I'll read the book. Use the forabit fur until the sheets are dry."

Take out the furabit fur from the item bag and hand it to Versa.

"Sorry for everything"

"I'm fine. I hope Versa's research goes on.

"all right"

Me and Teru walked out of the house, thanking Bertha.
