"So, what's the story?

After the training, the three of us were visiting under Dougo.

By the way, Isaj dropped us off without asking us anything about the fact that we were having a serious conversation with Dougo.

I can't tell Isaj about the S-rank request because it's confidential, but I'm guessing we have something. I'm guessing, and I appreciate you not pursuing it.

And as usual, Ashley was driven out as Karen's playmate.

So now in the room are me, Phyllia, and Dougo.

"In an effort to resume my research, I retrieved material from the Alliance about this Holy Fish. The deputy guild manager was happy to give it to me... so I found out that I was a little concerned. I thought I'd tell you guys."

With that said, Dougo seems to have a few dictionaries, offering us a huge bunch of paper.

What is this? Training equipment to lift or lower...... isn't it?

I mistook it for training equipment for a moment in too much, but apparently this bunch of paper is a collection of holy fish material.

Dougo takes a piece of paper out of its bundle as if he knew where what was written and points to its contents.

"Here. Look here."

When you look at it, there are many lines drawn on the paper like gnocchios and mites.

... What the hell, is that a cipher?

"Right?"

Hey, wait, Dougo, what's "huh?" What.

So you're telling me to guess now? I have no idea.

Perhaps this is some kind of graph? It must be something like that. That's all I know.

Now that I know you're up to it, I look at Phyllia next to you.

I mean, I can see that amateurs have seen something like this.

"I see……. It's really a little strange here."

Seriously, you.

Phyllia, are you a genius?

"Phyllia, you know what this gnolo means?

"Yes...... Oh, don't you know?

Phyllia asks me with a pure face.

I don't know. I don't know... but it's kind of hard to snort when they ask me that.

According to what Phyllia explained to me, this gnolo shows some sort of magical resistance. The resistance to all sorts of magic is slightly different between ordinary and this time.

I'm not sure if they say it, but that seems to be the case anyway.

"I don't think you need to be depressed even if you don't know anything else. Because I'm just too perfect."

Phyllia with an understated chest saying so.

Are you trying to depress me?

I'm not depressed... but Phyllia, you're a good guy.

Suppose I stay on the filia here?

"That's true. Ashley wouldn't know this either."

"No, I'm sure Ashley will understand. She's so smart."

Do you understand? What the hell, you guys, you're a bunch of geniuses.

... but I'm not losing either.

"… Well, I don't think I can understand this gnome yet."

I stand up and show off my freed muscles.

This bulging bicep is a symbol of intelligence. You see, Phyllia, this gushing intelligence.

"When I'm about an intelligent muscle, I don't understand that little bit at all. It's amazing."

"The strength of the mental is honestly amazing. Where the hell did that sense of superiority come from?

"It's from the muscles. Always wrapping muscle armor allows people to feel confident about themselves. This is the power of the muscles."

"It seems enviable and not enviable...... let's get back to it. Mr. Dougo, could this waveform be different..."

Dougo nods to Phyllia and says.

"Oh, you're right. - Maybe this time the holy fish is not the holy fish."

Ho............

This time I'll see.

So this time the holy fish isn't real, but the possibility of faking it has come.

"Then shouldn't we go to the guild soon? Still, a proper investigation will make it clear if it's real or fake."

"If it's fake, it might make it easier for us to do it."

Phyllia is right.

The same is true of the strength of the enemy in this request, but the fact that the faithful presence of Holy Fish is the other person was a major obstacle to the achievement of the request. If that premise breaks down, it makes it pretty easy to move.

But Dougo's expression is sinister.

"I already went to the guild once. But I've already been told that it's not a good idea to irritate the Holy Fish poorly when your body has grown to a level that threatens to destroy the temple. The investigation is unlikely to be possible because I will not be able to see the Holy Fish.... I'm sorry. If only I had resumed my research sooner..."

Dropping Dougo.

I lay my hand on Dougo's shoulder like that.

"No, it's not a problem. Hey, Phyllia?

When I speak, Phyllia answers with a strained chest.

"Yes, because no matter what kind of monster they are, we will never fail to make a request."

I saw firm confidence in his eyes.

Good eye. As long as my partner stays in that kind of mental state, I can handle most things.

"Besides, the information you just gave me could be of some help."

"Yeah, well, intelligence is my eighteenth."

"Mr. Dougo, I'm about to laugh here"

I'm not laughing.

Damn, even I get my head around there when it comes to fighting, right?

An hour later.

We leave Dougo's house and head to the inn.

On his return, Dougo promised me from all the material available at present that he would explore the possibility that this demon was not a holy fish and the identity of the demon in that case.

Its eyes were filled with passion, and the samurai tremor as a researcher seemed irrepressible.

It was impressive that Karen, who saw it, was laughing nicely.

"I'm tired……. Karen, because Dougo has reopened her research, and she's doing better with more before."

"You don't look too good to say that."

While Ashley looks tired, her mouth angle feels up.

Ashley, who was pointed that out, can swim his gaze.

"... well, that's... she's like my sister and she's cute."

Ashley whispers like a light.

Seeing it, Phyllia squeezes her mouth.

"Or cute............!

"Or not cute!

"~!"

Seeing Ashley swelling her cheeks, Phyllia looks like Niyanya can't contain it.

... You look like a pervert.
