There are many entrances to the nest of the Simant, and workers will soon be destroyed when buried.

"I can't do any confinement."

Isle affirms.

"How about the sound? I guess it's a rock, so it echoes?"

With a bell of confusion, confuse all the Simants.

"If it's near the town, it may hurt residents."

Versa has stopped.

"If that's the case, the slow-acting poison is the best. I've used Camilla's poison already ... I don't have a water attack Rita ..."

"If water attack is no good, how about fire attack?"

Seth has come up with a plan.

"Do you want it to explode?"

Although it is a world heritage class scene, can it be exploded?

"No, I just want to make a big smoke trap."

"Oh, sure ..."

"In this forest, there seems to be plenty of poisonous grasses, and if you remove mountains one by one, mainly with paralytic drugs ... isn't it?"

"No, it's solid."

This is a seth-like operation.

"How do you set it up? If you have a jaw that breaks rocks ..."

"I wish we had a worker ant bring it."

Versa proposed.

"If you make a dumpling that resembles food and put a 'heating stone' inside, it will burn out while you are eating."

"Okay, let's go!"

Bersa's proposal is also adopted.

"Wait a minute, if you mix the cave slime mucus with that food, your jaw will be hardened."

Melmo has begun to work out more.

"If you use 'Heating Stone' anyway, mix it with the food and burn it from the belly of the Simant."

The idea comes out of the Isle.

"When it comes to it, it's all we need to do if we collect it with food and Naoki covers it with a wall of magic and compresses it."

Bersa still has ideas.

"In the first place, once I've tried, any poison deep inside the cave ..."

Melmo put his hand on his chin and said,

"Don't stop, you guys!"

The idea is all exterminators. It has become reliable.

"The point is that if you kill the queen ant, you will just destroy it, so you can use anything to do it. Oh, it was!"

As the Simant was walking in front of her, she covered her head with a wall of magic and vented the air.

"An ant-type monster has a respiratory tract in its chest, so it doesn't make sense to cover your head."

Versa told me.

"Oh, yes! Oh ...!"

To my surprise, I twisted and killed Simant's head.

I thought when I was a dragonfly monster, why is the joint of an insect monster so fragile?

"President, if you kill me, I can't take it."

"I'm sorry. I'll catch you next."

There are so many that you can catch as much as you use your detection skills.

Next, Mermo took the captured cymant and experimented on the spot. Sleeping pills, paralysis pills, two-necked flower hallucinogens, and the sound of Genwaxzullan were all effective. Also, if you feed the mucus of the cave slime, after chewing several times, the chin remains open and hardens. He then threw the Heating Stone into his mouth and went down to the abdomen, burning its internal organs, piercing hard skin and falling to the ground. Formic acid from the abdomen flowed down and touched the "heating stone" and burned. The Simant was burnt.

"It's a miserable word."

The burned-out experimental demon Simant is buried properly in the ground and joined hands. Of course, the magic stone was recovered.

"Let's find the ant of the Simant ants and feed them the 'Heating Stone.'

""""Roger that""""

Poison should be procured locally if possible. Poisonous herbs from world wood also have limitations. Next year, let's go pick it when the southern hemisphere comes in spring.

There were occasional encounters with worker ants and soldier ants in the forest, even outside the nest. The next moment our employees meet, they twist their heads to separate their heads and chest. That seems to be the easiest way to defeat him. Something like Versa threw a wooden stick into the mouth of the Simant and turned it around like a roulette wheel.

In the forest, he found mushrooms for paralytic drugs, poisonous herbs for sleeping pills, and grasses that could be simple hallucinogens. Many are less effective than world tree plants.

"After all, this is the limit in the forest of the Northern Hemisphere."

"I know from a distance, but the world tree was a really extraordinary vegetation."

Isle and Versa remembered World Tree.

The flour and water that had been stockpiled, mushrooms with paralytic drugs, and the poisonous herbal medicine were mixed together, and a "heating stone" was put in the inside to make a soccer ball-sized poison dumpling. All that remains is that Melmo takes the Simant worker ants and transports the poison dumplings to the Queen ant.

Yes, I thought ...

When I tried to transport the poison dumplings to the tamed Simant, the queen ant seems to be deep underground instead of in the rocky mountain, the tamed Simant dives underground and dies for a while, and the surrounding Simant is in abnormal condition Became.

"What do you think?"

Only I have the detection skills, so I explained and asked.

"Is that" Heating Stone "started up on its own?"

Seth said what he expected. Everyone seems to agree.

"If so, that means ...?"

"In other words, someone used magic power, or maybe there was a lot of magic."

Versa put her hand on her chin and looked at me.

"It's also a basin ... not too far away on the same continent as demons."

If it is similar to an underground lake in a demonic territory, can it be a distribution? Deep underground, the surface vegetation is not as unusual as world trees.

"It's a bit painful to be unable to use magic tools and magic circles."

It starts up the moment you draw the magic circle.

"Would you like to take some time and go straight?"

"That's right. Even if you know that the queen Ali of the Simant is in the ground, I think that it is a harvest. For now, collect the defeated part of the Simant and the magic stone, and convert it to money in the adventurer's guild. Do you know where the subjugation site is? "

"It must be both jaws."

Versa knew.

Since it is going to be a long-term war, we will sit down in the town and exterminate it carefully.

Until the evening, overhunt the surrounding simans appropriately, collect both jaws and magic stones, and go around. It doesn't look as if the number is decreasing, so it feels barren and painful.

"I feel like I've lost as an exterminator."

You have to get rid of the fire brave quickly, but you can't overlook this situation as an exterminator.

In the adventurer's guild, I exchanged the defeated part and the magic stone and went to report to the paper wholesaler.

Explaining that the steep mountains and mountains are the nests of the Simant, and that the nests may be connected in the ground, and that the place where the queen ant is located has a high concentration of demon, etc. The owner of the paper wholesaler turned pale.

"I've been a paper wholesaler in this town before it became a land of fire, but I didn't even realize that this was the case, so all the adventurers I sent out… … "

"Escaped or died ..."

The paper wholesaler closed his eyes and bitten his lips.

"In the future, we will gradually exterminate from the rocky mountains near the town. First, we will find the queen ant and aim at extermination. Depending on the situation, road blockage may occur, but it is OK Is it? "

"... If it's a highway, you can do it for a fixed period of time. This town is more popular for trading by boat."

"So stay in this town for a couple of days to get rid of the Simant, can you please be careful not to let other adventurers and travelers come to the rocks?"

"I see. I'll keep you informed of the adventurer's guild and the merchant's guild."

It was good that the owner of the paper wholesaler was a great merchant guild. The story goes smoothly.

"I'll contact you if anything is available."

End of report.

The inn used the place prepared by the paper wholesaler. Unexpected high treatment. Because I don't have money, It seems that we were exterminating the Simant, and he reserved a large room for us.

"Do you want to change the way you deal with worker and soldier ants?"

Seth ate dinner at the inn's cafeteria, and Seth heard when he was calm.

"No, isn't it okay?"

Today, there were workers and soldiers in the extermination, but their bodies were almost twice as different and I did not see much difference. He said he had an organ in the abdomen that made the formic acid, a poison, so he told him to retrieve it. When sprayed, it may turn into a preservative or antimicrobial agent, or it may become an insecticide for mite demons.

"Be careful when you get into your eyes or mouth, so be careful."

"How do you get rid of it? Are you going to work together like today?"

Aisle asked.

"No, I want to use some bait, and I want to make a sheet of sticky trap. A big sticky trap made of cloth. Lay it and set the bait in the middle and catch it. It's similar to exterminating bagroaches."

The cloth will be bought by Mermo tomorrow.

"Let's set up a magic wall in the nest and set up a smoke-type trap. First, go deep into the ground to check the queen ant and check the surrounding situation. Tomorrow, if even the queen ant can be exterminated, It ’s good, and I ’ll be able to try it out on a case-by-case basis.

""""Roger that""""

The strategy meeting is over.

Each prepared and went to bed.

The next morning, we head to the nest of Simant in the mist.

Everyone is equipped with masks, earplugs and communication stickers, and starts working as soon as they arrive at the site. Seth and Melmo said that they cooked poison bait around the rocky mountain and lured the Simant by smell. We're going to set up a smoke trap inside the nest while unfolding the wall of magic. First, set a trap for sleeping pills at the entrance, and send smoke into the nest with a board depicting wind magic to make the Simants sleep.

The soldier ants and worker ants in the nest passage fell asleep while we slept. Collect both jaws, magic stones, and formic acid and go further and further. When he reached a place where smoke had not reached, he set the trap again, sent smoke to the back, and let the Simants sleep. Repeat the process.

"Don't get tired of simple work"

Isle said.

Despite the progress, it can be mentally painful to repeat the same work. I'm working on my back muscles. Versa alone does research on monsters, so it doesn't seem to be a problem.

The soldier ants who noticed the nest came and fell asleep, so the work was not over.

"Let's just go ahead and collect the magic stones, let's go ahead. Even with the detection skills, we haven't yet seen the queen ant."

""Roger that""

The deeper the nest, the higher the element concentration and the easier it is to deploy the wall of magic, but the passages are wider and the simants are larger. I feel my skin is a little hard.

The corridor was complicated, and I was at a loss, but finally I could see the innermost part with my detection skills. There is a large room at the back, where the queen ant seems to be.

In a room about the size of a gymnasium, a queen ant half the size of a room was sitting. Countless eggs are visible in the long abdomen. Something like steam can be seen around the queen, but if it were magic, it would be an unusual amount of magic.

"It's really too big ..."

Versa muttered. Even though the monsters of the queen Ali are large, they have never heard of such a large one.

Around the queen ant, there are a number of caretaker workers traversing the hallway with their eggs. When Versa threw two southern hemisphere grasses into the passage, the passage grew rapidly and the passage was blocked.

Ask the two to confirm that they are wearing earplugs and ring the bells of confusion. The bells sounded throughout the room, and workers who were taking care of the queen bite the queen.

The queen ant, who is too large to move, discharges mucus from all over her body as she is bitten and ends her life. The remaining worker ants also started cannibalizing, and Aisle cut the last worker ant and ended. At first, the body of the queen Ali was dismantled by Ayr.

There is steam that seems to be magical. When she rejected the queen's body, she found a crack in the ground, similar to the underground lake's reservoir. From there, a whine is heard and the magical elements are blowing up. Immediately, Versa filled the fissures with anabuse grass, and I used several sticky traps to plug the holes. With the cave slime mucus, it was firmly fixed without any gaps, and finally the magic circle of time magic was drawn, stopping the time and completely filling the crack.

"I guess the outbreak of the Simant is probably due to this pool

"If we were late for a few more weeks, wouldn't the surrounding town have been damaged more?"

"Now, this is no more."

We take the aspirant in the aisle and go outside, using the sleeping medicine smoke trap as we go. The day has fallen, and Seth and Melmo have been worried. He reported the situation, but seemed worried until he returned.

"Take care. The rest is exterminating the remaining Symantec."
