Arios One line went further south after River End.

Take the path west from there.

The southern continent is a plain with a soft east and a series of steep mountains to the west.

Arios One line steps into the mountain and goes straight to the back.

"Uh, I'm so happy."

It is an undisclosed land, so there is only a beast path.

It looks like the grass is flourishing and blocking our way.

It goes on while paying for it, but it never gets faster.

Leanne spilled her stupidity, as she became frustrated with the matter.

"There are lots of bugs involved... haha, I want to take a bath"

"Leanne, you can't be selfish. We have a noble mission, and we are on that journey."

Though Mina praises, Leanne doesn't seem to have switched minds just by returning an appropriate response saying yes.

Nevertheless, this is the usual sight, so the Arios and the others don't look concerned.

The only thing I care about Leanne is the leading adventurer.

"What's wrong with you?

Arios, who noticed the adventurer watching Flirting and Leanne, spoke up.

The adventurer laughs lovingly in deception.

"No, it's nothing. I don't know what to say, but there's something about the braves."

"Though we're brave, we're human too. I'm sick and tired of having to go to the back of the mountain like this."

"Indeed."

I'm counting on you.

"Yeah, I'll take care of it"

It's a once in a lifetime chance to be counted on by a brave party.

The adventurer man leads the way as he strains.

To be precise, he's second.

The first hand is Bloody Bear, the demon he serves.

As the name suggests, it's a big bear demon.

A demon comparable to the C-rank, he reigned as the Lord of the Mountains.

Such a bloody bear, the adventurer man taemed.

He is a famous beast taster in the South.

Its ability is excellent and demons as well as animals can be taemed.

I happened to be visiting a country village on vacation...

That's why Arios and the others called me out and decided to act together.

"But you're surprised."

"What is it?

To Arios' words, the adventurer seemed to wonder.

"The Beast Tamer can also serve demons. What's with all this stuff, but you're the weakest job anyone wants to be a beast taster, right? Yet this is how you serve C-rank demons, and you gain a lot of power. I don't think it's a very good sight to see."

"I'm glad you said that. I struggled a lot to get the power I have now."

"Hmm."

Arios looked from foot to face, as he ordained the adventurer.

This man might help.

It is convenient that demons can be used as well as animals.

In contrast to public common sense, as a beast taster, I have the power to break.

If he joins his people, it will definitely make the journey easier.

That's all I thought about, and there's a glimmer of Rain's face behind Arios' brain.

"... by the way, I have a few questions"

"Yes, what is it?

"Can you serve the most powerful species?

"Huh? Is it the most powerful species?

To Arios' question, the adventurer showed confusion.

"No way. You can't use the most powerful species. There's no such thing as a man who can serve."

"... right"

Hearing the words, something cooled rapidly in Arios.

If Rayne can't do what he can, I don't want this man.

As originally planned, once we have achieved this objective, we shall cut it off there.

I don't even know that Arios is thinking of that, and he leads by looking like an adventurer.

For the subsequent Arios, we have to cut the branches of the trees, etc., but it's an easy task.

The leading bloody bear has a big body, he just walks, and he makes quite a path.

The other demons don't come near for fear of the Bloody Bear.

It's an easy job.

This would allow us to accomplish the request without any problems.

... At this time, I thought so.

――――――――――

It took about an hour for Arios and the others to reach the summit of the mountain.

The summit is an open place with nice views.

There's a little square, and I think I can take a break.

In the center of it, a small temple was seen.

A wooden temple is set on a flat stone.

Nothing else, it was a lonely sight.

"Dear brave man, I've got it."

"Very much so... Agus. And Leanne and Mina will be on perimeter alert."

"Oh."

Agus nodded and turned back a little on the path he had just come.

Leanne and Mina scatter left and right.

"Hmm."

Arios saw the temple.

The more I touched it, the more it was going to break, the more I looked worn out.

"... hey, can you give me that demon over here?

"Huh? Why not?

"Come on, come on."

"Wow, I get it. Here, go."

In a strong tone by Arios, bewildered, the adventurer followed the instructions.

Instruct Bloody Bear to move next to Arios.

But...

"Gah!?

Trying to get close to Arios on the side of the temple, Bloody Bear was bounced off to be held back by an invisible wall.

For a moment, the air shook, and the purple electricity ran.

"Hey what...!?

"I see, this is how it works"

The adventurer wandered about the unexpected, but Arios was as calm as he knew.

Around the temple there was a bond that did not send demons.

That's why, even if it was built behind such a mountain, it wouldn't have been destroyed.

Is it worth protecting such a worn-out temple in the junction?

A human being who knows nothing may wonder.

Now, the adventurer looked confused.

But Arios isn't.

I know this temple is worth it.

… more precisely, what is in the temple, though.

Arios pulled out his sword.

"Yu, brave man? What do you do?

"Stay back, I'll destroy this temple now"

"Huh?"

"There will be quite a shock because we will cut off the junction. You have to show me the way home, too. If you get extra injuries, it's a hassle. Stay back."

To Arios, who said pale, the adventurer openly made him wolf.

"Duh, how did you get that temple?

"This temple is served with the equipment I seek."

One of the legendary pieces of equipment, a ring called 'Tears of Heaven', is dedicated to a certain mountain temple.

With that information, Arios and the others hired adventurers to climb the mountain.

Otherwise, you can't come all the way here.

"That's not good..."

"... are you going to stand in my way just because I hired you?

"No, I didn't mean to... but they say the temple was built by the people in the village at the foot... and then they're sealing up the disaster..."

"Ha..."

Arios sighed boringly.

"That's a superstition, isn't it?

"No, but it's pretty credible..."

"If this temple is containment of disaster, it wouldn't be strange if it was taken care of more, would it? But... take a look. Worn out. Not respected at all. There's no way a monastery like that could contain a disaster, is there?

"But..."

"Even if something was sealed, it's not my enemy. Who do you think I am? He's a brave man."

……

Arios says in a strong tone, feeling that he will not tolerate objections.

The adventurer shut his mouth in such a way that he lost to Arios.

With the adventurer shut up, Arios nodded satisfactorily.

And... wave down your sword at the temple.

"Hih!?

Bachi! The temple collapsed when the sound sounded.

The air trembles and the adventurer shrinks himself.

It's just... that's all.

Nothing more happens, only silence dominates the place.

"Look, there's no such thing as"

Arios removed the wreckage of the broken temple and removed the ring from inside.

Legendary Gear, "Heavenly Rings."

With this, there is no use anymore.

Let's get off the mountain right away and go to our next destination.

... that was then.

"... dull rinse"

An innocent laugh sounded like a child.
