Kujonin

Episode 168

The bat whirled over our head and then flew towards the beach.

"Can I follow you?"

"Oh, right. Let's follow!"

When Bow told me, I hurriedly followed the bat.

Because you cannot see it with your detection skills, you have to follow it visually. Magic stone lamps were not used because they were too bright and created shadows.

The surroundings are dark, and there is no light to illuminate the surroundings, so they are often lost. I should have had night-vision skills, but at this time I followed my utmost carelessly, and Bow and the two desperately followed the bat.

"Is it so important?"

On the way, Bow's heart broke. I can't read the trajectory of a bat and I'm confused.

"Being a bat means you have enough food to survive the bat, and you could eat it if you baked it."

"Yes! Fuha. But why are there bat monsters that won't get caught up in detection skills?"

"I don't know. There's something. I need to investigate. I'll have to call Versa later."

To be honest, I think that bat is not a monster. If it is a monster, it should retain its magical power and the magic stone should be somewhere in the body, and when it is seen with a detection skill, it should look like a red light like a bow, but that bat does not see the red light.

A moving thing without using magic. In other words, isn't it a monster, but an "animal"?

I have never seen an animal in this world, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. All must have been demons.

"It's mysterious. Did you evolve your own in the Southern Hemisphere, come from a different world, have friends, why don't you have the magic, or want to know Bow?"

"Fuhaha. After all, I'm going to see something interesting when I'm with Naoki. I used to think that my job was to get rid of it because I was an exterminator."

"No, the only job is to get rid of it. There's a reason to survive from the slime swarm. Knowing that is a hint for efficient slime removal. The job is efficient and effective! "

"I think Naoki is too much.

In the moonlight, I followed the bat while talking to the bow.

Following a flying bat for a while, I came out to the bay. Sandy beaches and rocky cliffs. A big cave whose cliffs were torn. The bat entered the cave.

I once visited a pirate hideout, much like that, but with a river running from the cave to the sea.

"A groundwater vein?"

"Yeah, no slime."

There is no sign of slime in the cave as Bow says. Is this groundwater vein still undiscovered in slime, or is there a reason for the absence of slime?

The inside of the cave is dark.

I'm okay because I can see the terrain with my detective skills, but I took out a magic stone light for Bow.

Kyo! ! Kyo! ! Kyo! !

The moment the Bow put magic into the magic stone light, a gleaming squealing sound caught in the cave, and a bat swarm jumped out of the cave.

"It seems like there were friends after all."

Swarms of bats do not catch their detection skills. With the detection skill, the black shadow similar to a stone can only be seen as wriggling, so if it is stuck on the cliff or cave ceiling, it will be assimilated and disappear.

The river was gently curved and had a riverbank. The depth of the water is not so deep, so if you want to proceed, proceed.

"This cave seems to have a point, what do you do?"

"What are you going to do, are you going?"

"Well."

Listening to the bats, me and the bow went into the cave.

As you progress through the cave, there are some places where the ceiling has collapsed, and the moonlight is shining. I didn't know when the collapse would occur, so I drew a shock-resistant magic circle on the bow hat. I took out my helmet after a long time and drew a shock-resistant magic circle.

"What's that?"

Bow asks about the lights on his helmet.

"It's light."

I used it when I came to this world, but it should have run out of batteries.

When I turned on the switch, it turned on. The batteries are back a bit.

"Fuha, it's dazzling!"

When you hit the ceiling with the light of a light, about 30 bats start screaming. For a moment, the bat is in the same shape as it was in the world before, and clearly different from the bat monster named Shobusuri.

"stop it"

"I'm sorry. I wanted to see my identity.

As he progressed through the cave, fleeing the bat swarm, the light began to flash and soon disappeared.

"Fuha, Light has a short duration."

"I don't have a battery. It's bright without magic stones or magic."

"Hey, it's amazing!"

"Ah! But this is where the magic circle of light magic is drawn behind the lights. When did I draw it, I don't remember."

"In the case of Naoki, there are likely to be many such forgotten magical tools.

"Yes, you may not remember what you do not use."

When magic was applied to the magic circle behind the lights, the lights illuminated the cave brighter than before. I feel that the civilized equipment has lost, but there is no help for it.

The bat swarms were stuck near the entrance, and as they progressed through the cave, they cried. Instead, the cave ceiling has collapsed in more places. Perhaps it's gone because there's no hanging ceiling.

In addition, although not confirmed by moonlight, the rock where the ceiling collapsed was covered with moss and short grass was growing.

However, moss does not seem to be food for bats. In addition, there is no slime invading the river. Why?

Bow told me why.

"Naoki. My nose is likely to bend. An unpleasant smell drifts from the front."

I was told by Bow, and when I smelled the smell around, it smelled nostalgic.

In front you can see a huge round hole in the ceiling.

Below the hole, the water of the river accumulates, and about half becomes a lake. It's like a natural pool. The shore is overgrown with vegetation, mixed with fruit trees and medicinal herbs, and lit by small white flowers that protect against the demon.

"I see. I forgot the medicine for the demon."

The demon repellent may have been used unconsciously because of the bow.

"Gupo ~ smells! Smell!"

In this way, monsters are very effective. It may be effective for slime.

For the time being, I decided to pass the mask to the bow that was spinning and leave the cave.

The next morning, I wake up early, drop by the pond first, and head to my hometown. Basically, Hatagumi is early in the morning and someone may be watering before breakfast.

Running early in the morning is quite quick, but the bow is also firmly attached.

"At best. Huha ..."

Bow is breathing on his shoulders, with his arms on his knees.

"Sorry, the pace was too high."

"No, leave Naoki alone, because we're going up. Fuha."

Bow, still laughing with a bad smile, seemed to have decided something.

The fog was standing in an unnatural form in the pond field.

"It's Rita's water magic! Because the magical power has increased, it's now possible to water with magic. Oh! Litter!"

Bow ran into the field, waving his hand. I don't think he was a man who was about to die. Is this the power of love?

"Don't come home after work!"

Bow is angry at Rita. Rita's face, which should just be angry, is grim. Is this also love?

"No, no, Naoki is back, right?"

"Good morning, Rita. I came back because I made an important discovery. Find a colony of monsters and plants that are not slimes."

Well, I don't think it's a demon.

"Naoki! Why didn't you come back to meet me?"

"Fuha, that's right."

Rita suddenly became a serious face in Bow's words.

"Everyone is still sleeping. Watering is over, so let's go back to our hometown. Look, you have to report quickly. How tired you are!"

"No, I was a little tired because I ran at the pace of Naoki ..."

"Are you good ?! Not at all"

It's difficult for women

Returning to its hometown, all were beaten up and reported on bats and plants.

"Well, yes! I forgot about the demon remedy."

"Wow, it's a monster that won't fall into your detection skills, isn't it a monster?"

Aisle and Versa yawned and started changing clothes in front of me. When Rita hid her eyes, I finally noticed. I don't think anything now, but both Isle and Versa are women.

By the way, Seth and Mermo were not worried about my report, saying "Hey" or "Hah" while wearing their own jumpsuits near the bed.

"Everyone returns to the Northern Hemisphere and looks for a marriage partner."

"What? Why?"

"I'm not good for marriage!"

"I prefer a man stronger than me."

"I'd like someone who is not troublesome."

Our marriage is going to be steep.

Rita finished the watering of the field, so I decided to go and see the bats and plants. Bow's suggestion is that breakfast is better later, so he leaves without eating breakfast. I ran at a pace as much as possible while removing the slime I saw.

Pass by the volcano, glance at the excavation site of the town, go out on the coastline and go north. I went out to the bay I found at night.

"That cave?"

Isle points.

"so"

"A cave underground?"

The bats began to make noise as soon as they entered the cave and turned on the magic stone lamp.

The Isle jumps up and captures the bat. I checked it with my diagnostic skills, but there was no magic stone in my body.

"It's certainly strange. I can't feel the magic."

"How is this working?"

"But it's sensitive to magic, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, everyone has captured and observed bats.

"Don't over-fish. You'll have a small population, so let's release it after observing."

The bats jumped back and forth, returning to the cave ceiling.

"The evil god and the devil were rampaging, right?"

Bersa asked.

"I heard that."

"Because I could not live without running away and hiding, I guess I abandoned my magic. Is it a monster that abandoned my magic?"

"In the world where I was before I was saying" animals. "

"I see. There was no magic or magic stone in the world before Naoki? Animals ... moving things.

Versa was satisfied with her hand on her chin.

"Hey! The ceiling of this cave has collapsed!"

The aisle who went earlier is calling.

The place where the ceiling collapsed was much brighter than at night, and no magic stone lights were needed. Even unnoticed at night, moss grows on the collapsed rock.

At night, his detection skills seemed only to assimilate with the ground, but there were quite a few bugs.

"Wow!"

"...!"

"Oh!"

"this is!"

"There is such a scenery!"

Everyone was surprised at the natural pool with a huge hole in the ceiling.

"After all it smells"

Bow was wearing a mask.

"It's circulating just here and in the cave."

Versa, who had lost her words, opened her mouth.

Bashan!

"Iaha! Fresh water! Fresh water!"

As Isle jumped into the lake, both Seth and Mermo jumped.

After playing a little in the natural pool, except for the bow, I collected them and placed them in an item bag, taking care not to overtake the white small flowers that protect the demon. This will enable you to remove slime and remove them all at once.

"Speaking of which, when did Naoki propose to use slime for evil god?"

Aisle asked.

"Because it should have been the church ruins of Flora ... maybe a few months ago"

"That means there may still be such a place?"

"I see."

"But some slimes are adapting to the environment like gray slimes?"

"Yeah, yeah ... do you hurry?"

Since then, we have rushed to eliminate slime.

Maybe there are other places in the Southern Hemisphere that escape from the evil gods and the devil's fights and escape from slime herds.

"At Naoki, we're going to offer slime at all, so we'll see this."

The aisle blurred while exterminating the slime.

"Because at that time I was told there was nothing."

"It's more about believing in the power of life than what God says."

Seth said something probable.

For the next three months we will run around slimes throughout the continent, believing in the power of life.
