Episode 59

I went to the government office and asked about the locust hopper investigation.

"If damage occurs, economic damage of at least 100,000 knots and 1,000 gold coins will be hit. Of course, we are investigating, but there is no measure to break it. Yeah. "

A janitor at our company, a cleaning and extermination company, told us that he would go to the desert for research and research.

"Is it true ?! I would like to ask you! Once you have established the eradication method, you will pay a bounty in the Allies. However, you can not say that you do not look at your company first ... But…"

"Oh, yeah-for example, let's try to get rid of Mamascal and Bagroach in this office?"

"Huh? Are you okay?"

"Yes, I get the money."

With that said, I started preparing while looking inside the building with my detective skills.

We prepared rodent and insecticidal dumplings on the usual sticky board. Fill the pump with liquid pesticide.

The insecticide for the bagroach was from a previous meeting with Tell. I hope this insecticide can kill all insect demons. It has already been used for both dust mites and locust hoppers, but has no effect. It doesn't work very well.

The government office is two stories high and has a warehouse in the basement.

We plan to set traps in order from the top and spray them where the pesticide nozzles can reach.

Saying hello to the staff and going around the room in turn, they usually say, "I'll hurry up and leave me behind."

After all, start with a warehouse that is empty.

One corner of the warehouse had shelves with books and materials lined up like a library.

A short, old man is reading a document. Is it a warehouse manager?

"Hello. I'm skilled in the pest control, whether you're good to start here of extermination?"

"Oh, no problem"

The old man answered loudly.

The old man's ears are a little sharp, so he may be a dwarf.

The work was finished in about 10 minutes, and I was called out to leave.

"Why is it over?"

"Yeah, the trap is over and we sprayed pesticides in the suspicious areas."

"It's a spray. Huh, do you spray the liquid inside with that device? It's interesting."

The old man looks at the tip of the nozzle with interest.

If you explain the background and structure of the creation, it will give a nice reaction such as "Wow!"

"No, I first met a person who understands the goodness of this instrument."

"This is a very good device. Can you make it if you order?"

"Yes, if you have the material, you can make it."

"I'd like to ask you. Riddle. Riddle Blacks, Landlord of the Blacks."

Riddle has asked for a handshake.

I grab Riddle's hand and shake hands.

"I'm Naoki. I'm Naoki Komuro, president of the Komuro Company, a cleaning and extermination company. Are you the aristocrat?"

"Once, you are the cousin of the king who governs the whole area. Are you the immigrant?"

"Yes, I run a company while traveling, but I started a company in this city."

"Yes. By the way, are you interested in the desert?"

Riddle suddenly heard.

"Oh, oh, I'm going to go after the eradication here. With a study of locust hoppers."

"What a hell, that's strange! The eagle was just investigating a locust hopper, and it was raining in the desert a few days ago. Take a look at this document, which is a record we observed in the desert 30 years ago ... "

Riddle has said something like a chronology on parchment. It states that after several days of rain, a flash flood occurred, followed by a locust hopper outbreak.

"I also met a slave trader yesterday who was in a flash flood in the desert."

"Yes, maybe you should hurry!"

Riddle's move was quick.

"Establish a headquarters for locating hopper abnormalities! Contact each guild and collect information! It is not yet determined that a major outbreak has occurred. But collect! "

Riddle's words suddenly appeared in the hall on the first floor, and the officers of the government seemed to be poking.

I also tell all employees in communication bags.

"Maybe, if the desert keeps raining for a few days, a locust hopper could be outbreaked. Hurry to develop insecticides and elucidate the causes!"

"Roger that! I will collect forest flowers from one end. "

"all right! I am ready. Leave the city and go through the forest. Food will be delivered later by Naoki! 』

Aisle and Versa answer.

"Okay! For now, let's camp on the meadow near the desert today. The aisles will come to the meadow once the flowers are collected."

"Roger that! 』

After all communication bag is convenient.

"What is it ... !!!?"

Riddle asks with a startling expression.

"It's a magic tool for contacting distant humans. We've just contacted our employees. They're all heading to a meadow near the desert. Tonight, you can start observing the desert weather."

"I said Naoki. It looks like you need the cooperation of your company!

"Yes, of course, because I'm working for that."

"Good! Now listen to this man named Naoki and give him what he needs! This is the order of the Blacks family!"

"""""Yes!"""""

I asked the staff members if they knew it was urgent to develop insecticides. Almost no staff members have been to the forest, and they are told to ask the adventurer's guild.

The adventurer's guild has already been commissioned, so it seems he has no choice but to wait.

Ask for the esophagus of the forabit needed for the pump and the insect net.

I would like to use a smoke-type insecticide if possible, so I asked for iron products that were no longer needed and pots with holes. If you use pesticide contents that are bad for the environment, you may be angry with God.

Considering that, natural ingredients such as plants would be good.

Riddle seems to use the monsters of pigeons to gather people from the Blacks.

"Then, once I run to the meadow, I have to deliver food etc."

"I see! I understand! Let's prepare a fee hose now."

When Riddle tried to instruct staff,

"No, I'm OK. I ran faster."

I stopped.

"Wait wait, it will take a day and a half to reach the meadow."

"I'm fine. I'll be back in a few hours, so make sure you have everything you need for the pump. Will you go around the florist? I'll catch some locust hoppers. I ’ll give you a magical power if you have something. ”

With that said, give the communication bag to Riddle.

He ran out of the government office and bought food at a stall.

I just met a merchant guild employee eating food at a stall and was asked, "Mr. Komlo, are you making posters?"

"Oh! It's not right now ..."

"I support you. Please do your best!"

My shoulder was beaten and encouraged.

"Thank you"

Once, bowed and parted.

Will those staff members know why I'm busy when I return to the merchant guild?

I ran through the woods through the city. Merge with Versa while running in the forest.

Had half the luggage.

"If Naoki runs seriously, I will not leave it."

I was dissatisfied, so I drew a magic circle of wind magic on Bersa's shoes.

"I can't stop this!"

Running side by side while listening to Bersa's shout. At this pace, will it arrive after noon?

He entered the meadow, decided on a campsite, and drew a magic circle of Barrier Magic.

The sky is almost clear. However, clouds can be seen in the distant sky.

"I wish it had to be a rain cloud."

After building a tent, you will soon enter the desert and look for a locust hopper.

I ran around the desert alone, and I couldn't see that there were a lot of locust hoppers, even with my detective skills.

For now, is it safe?

Giant scorpion monsters, Poison Scorpion, and stupid earthworms, such as the sandworm, also appeared, but all were beaten down. I wasn't particularly interested, so I picked up the magic stone and left it alone, looking for a small insect monster.

There is also the danger of sun and heat strokes, the winds in the desert are strong, the sand dances and visibility is poor. No matter how high the level, you will get sunstroke.

If you open your mouth further, it will dry out quickly, and the dust will get inside, making you feel uncomfortable.

Masks are a necessity in the desert.

Once back on the grassland camp, Bersa with insect nets captured a large number of locust hoppers. It is good to bring a bug net. I should have bought it too.

"This is probably called a band. There were a lot in the bushes near the meadow. Usually they're alone, but they're already flocking. I'm not aggressive yet."

On the ground, draw a magic circle of Barrier Magic and put it inside.

It is about the size of the center of the basketball court.

I got 5 of them and put them in a bottle and went back to town.

"I just ran recently."

I blurred while bending.

"Isn't that good? It's healthier than no work."

"surely"

I need to be working high.

"Don't set a reward. If you don't care, you'll be free."

"Yes, lend a communication bag."

"Hmm"

Versa has given her a communication bag.

"I have a locust hopper and I'm going home now."

"Oh, oh! understood! 』

Riddle's confused voice came back.

"Do you come back here at night?"

Versa asks.

"I don't know. The extermination range is too wide this time, so I have to gather people."

"I still have time, and it may not happen out of the blue."

"That's the best. If you have it, it'll be useful someday. I'll get in touch later."

"Yes, take care ~"

Leaving Bersa waving, I run through the woods and into the city.
