Episode 86: Investigations and Human Lions

I wake up like yesterday, have breakfast like yesterday, and follow the investigation.

This day came the D-rank demon… Trent's subspecies, White Trent.

It seems that the subspecies are stronger than the monster on which they are based, and there will be several more demon nuclei?

Mr. Lakhand killed him safely and instantly.

He defeated them without any particular struggle and obtained 3 Demon Nukes.

In addition, there was one B-rank monster.

I've never seen a B-rank before, but it doesn't have the same rating as D or C.

Looks very strong. Still inferior to Manticola?

Manticola, maybe a or something. No, there's a better possibility.

Mr. Rakhand fought for a monster like that B-ranked potato worm.

My skin color wasn't my skin tone from the middle of nowhere, and I changed to iron color, but I said it was a skill called "Iron Super Qi".

It looks like your body has put iron together, and your offense and defense will go up.

Still, it was an awesome series of fists, but Mr. LaHand had a few abrasions, too.

Well, the wound was blocked by Margot's healing magic.

After all, high rank demons are horrible.

Well, all I had to do was say otherwise, and normally there were D-rank and C-rank demons out there.

The next day, there were a lot of D-rank demons. Especially, Ant Demons.

Ants are still fine, but if there's a spooky demon like a cockroach, a muckade, or a geese, I'll cry, okay?

I asked Margot if the bug demon was okay, but she still didn't want to deal with me much.

He said the most disgusting thing ever was a mosquito dragonfly demon or something.

Sure, mosquito dragonflies are disgusting. I don't like those long legs.

The next day, the worst happened. Yes, there was a mosquito dragonfly demon.

Margot and I trembled hugging each other on those long, odd legs.

I think I was in tears.

Still, Mr. LaHand knocked me down without difficulty.

He just didn't like to touch it directly with his hand, like a shockwave by his fist, so he was knocking it down.

That was beyond people.

Yet another day, this day was really nothing...

Feeling quiet before the storm?

The next day, I acted with Mr. Lakhand and the others for the fifth day. This investigation ends today.

I woke up, had breakfast and went to investigate, just like I've been spending the last few days.

The day was also dominated by demons of the D and C ranks.

Yes, nothing has changed so far.

It's only been an hour since we finished lunch, right?

Suddenly, I heard voices from close proximity there, voices that neither man nor beast knew.

"KYYYYYYYYYYYY!!

When he heard the voice, Mr. Rakhand suddenly stopped and ordered us not to make any noise.

"Ah... that voice isn't Manticola...!?

"Manticola!? Is that true, Mr. Lakhand?"

"Why are there S-rank demons in these woods... ah, but it's like having three A-rank demons out at the same time..."

I knew Manticola was an S-rank demon.

Mr. Lakhand says this as he lurks his breath.

"Ready? Manticola can't even beat me. I might be able to buy you some time... Anyway, now just think about running away."

"Hey, Manticola, can't you think of the best balls of the Mirmecoleos that Mr. Gabayina fought for?

"Yeah, you have the blame. There are many bug demons and plant demons in this forest, but there are no beast demons at all. Yet a half-beast half-worm demon called Mirmecoreo came along. Could be enough."

Furthermore, Mr. Rakhand said this as if he had noticed something.

"... yes, I remember"

"What's going on? Mr. Lakhand."

"These woods were originally planted with more demons. Sure, until six years ago."

"Yeah, but all the demons we found, except Trent, were bug demons, right?

"Oh, what if that bug demon was born by that manticola...?

"But isn't Manticola a beast?

To that question, however, Mr. Lakhand said something surprising.

"Sure, it looks like it. It's just that he's a half-beast half-worm demon, too, right?

"" What...?

Gog, you and Margot seem surprised.

"Uh... where, where are the bugs? Mr. Lakhand."

"I've only seen it in drawings, too, but his tail is a scorpion demon"

"Nah......!

"Well, I knew..."

"Oh, here it comes that he may have added more bug demons. I need you to call HQ and get an S-Ranker adventurer out."

Yes, the four of us were quietly running away while we were discussing Manticola.

In the middle of it appeared that Bowfla demon.

But I don't have time for that right now.

However, he didn't seem to care about us, so he flew toward Manticola.

Could it be...

By the time I thought so, it was too late.

The mosquito dragonfly brought Manticola back to us.
