It's about midnight the day Patia and I broke up on the road to Lehm.
Unlike me, they were blind at night, so they gathered mushrooms and took turns sleeping in small formations.
Even so, because I'm a scout, I was supposed to be able to get me to sleep until dawn, but I woke up to the pretense.
Because there was a foretaste in the five senses of a cat human, specifically one that could not be explained.
"What...?
"Tart, were you awake too"
I stand my finger in front of my lips against the awake man and tart.
They also felt a sense of urgency just because of that behavior.
In fact, during the day, we had already found the footprints of a large population in six places.
Those footprints follow the route from southwest to northeast, apparently departing from Cascade Hill.
Are you the enemy?
"No way......"
"Yeah, I thought maybe it was Cascade Hill's adventurer hunt"
All traces were heading northeast. It was a strange needle.
Tart's right arm, a former adventurer's man, also understands the dangers of his opponent and turns a tight eye.
"Well, this isn't happening..."
"Yeah, not at all. Now wake you all up and move east as quietly as possible."
"Is that what you're doing?
"I'm going to buy you some time. In the meantime you all head east..."
Originally unknown, they carry luggage with their clients, people who specialize in covert operations.
Mr. Piccolo has sometimes raised his nostrils small, but he will be ready to withdraw immediately.
"Sorry, I'll take care of it..."
"I'll take care of it.... I'll take one"
I have decided to hunt adventurers, and no, to attempt contact with the demonic human hunting unit.
I borrowed a bottle of Demon World liquor from the carrier, and the demonic cat human walked out to the signs southwest.
● ◎ (ΦωΦ) ◎
I think I'll be able to make contact with the adventurer hunt safely.
The demonic cat man stopped in the middle of the veterinary path, and let the scouts and bumpy dogs put a liquor bottle up.
I'm a cat human acting alone in the woods.
Exactly. I was surprised over there, but I was able to make contact with the leader safely.
"Hi everyone, I see you in a strange place"
Looks like it was a good idea to lighten up the liquor.
When I saw the fine liquor that looked delicious, their attitude softened at once.
The composition was quite large, with a dog-human of 2, a daemon species 1, its lower species Lesser daemon of 3, an oak of 5, a Minos tribe 2, and a bird-eyed Bird Demon tribe of 1 on the shoulder of the oak.
"It's rare to be a cat human."
Leadership was a big part of the Minos.
"My name is Electrum Bell. We met in a place like this on the edge of something, how about a drink to get closer?"
"Inokayo, Hyaha, Sole, Gustav Chamber of Commerce no sake dallo!
Lesser demon species are people who are smaller, thinner, and less intelligent than Migo and other demon species.
He jumped on the liquor I offered him and flew back next to his leader.
"Your answer. Let me introduce myself. I am a cat human being who has been ordered to infiltrate human territory. I never thought I'd meet someone like this."
But the leader's role is to lead his peers together.
It took me a little doubt if I was a safe demon. Yeah, it's the right decision.
"Cathuman was mostly moderate. I know the Orthodox ones, but which side are you on?"
"Are you suddenly talking about factions?"
"Komakekota aidaro! Koitsu kreta, no!
It wasn't something I was proud of back in the day.
In today's demonic world, I needed to answer carefully about my faction.
Especially if the other person belonged to a killer, in these places where there is no order to be observed, there is no risk of death simply by answering as moderate.
"Hmm...... that's kind of odd. Adventurer hunting is not so much about Cascade Hill people who are not part of any faction, is it?"
"Well, there's a lot going on right now, a lot of things..."
Why would they ask that?
From what I've seen, they don't look like they belong directly to the Demon Army.
Which faction is right to name? In some cases, we are in danger of a fight right now.... I've made up my mind.
"Okay. I'm not a direct slayer, but I'm a resident of Lacrimosa."
"I thought so. You're not like the weak and weak because of the signs. I'm Luke. Say hello."
I tied a handshake with my leader, Luke.
Apparently, the killers were right in their response.
"Then what are your qualities?
"Whoa, I belong to a killer, and the rest of them are Cascade Hill adventurer hunters."
"Yorosikna, Electrum husband Yo!
I mean, he's a junior killer officer.
That takes the adventurer hunt and, like any trace we've seen, we're going northeast......
"Oh, did you go and hire mercenaries? Even a big dong patch up north again?
"Tokoroga dokkoi! Domo, soujanai lasi inoyo, kekekeke! Ita!?"
"Don't talk to me... you idiot"
Officer Luke silenced the Lesser species with his fists.
Hi. I'm not sure. Normal killers are not a bunch of people without orders, a bunch that places a lot of emphasis on discipline.
"Sorry, but it's a top-secret mission. I want to leave as soon as I get a glass of this guy, okay?
"You don't have some kind of a flair. Well, let's have a nice drink and go."
"Agreed, I agree!
The pseudonymous cat human, Electrum, turned and drank alcohol with them.
There are no vessels either, so directly from bottle to bottle.
"Okay, I'm in the mood! Oops, good job undercover, Electrum, we're going to be together, let the humans blow a bubble!
"Yeah, let's do that, we need to avenge the Demon King."
"Right! And we're talking about that Migo motherfucker coming too!
"Whatever..."
"Yes, it's that hated Migo, this time it's gonna be the worst battlefield ever! Look forward to our triumph!
"Really? Then be careful not to get slashed off your back."
"Hyahahahahaha laugh el joke dazee!!
Something's not right for Grandpa. I'm tired of Nori.
Thus I broke up with them, and after rendezvous with the tart, I decided to go straight east through the night.
Killer officers are gathering mercenaries in Cascade Hill.
If this was one of the routes, stopping on this occasion meant that it was far more dangerous than moving in the darkness of night.
