After we finished supplying, we set out for Cagne.

The purpose of the journey is to repair the legendary equipment, the 'Comet Sword'.

Given the mission of the Chiffons, I'd like to hurry as much as possible...

That's why it doesn't make sense to use a carriage or something, and Sola and Luna, who need it to be repaired, go down.

Though time consuming, slowly...... but surely I chose a way to move forward.

While alerting to demonic raids...... or, sometimes, kicking ass.

Walk down the street and head east.

――――――――――

Restart your journey, first night.

We decided to camp in a square just off the street.

Set up a fire and install a simple tent to soak up the rain.

Then I prepared a meal, surrounding the bonfire, and we all had dinner.

Well, let's have a good night first.

"Oh. I'll take care of the watch."

"Yeah, please. Good night."

"Good night -"

"Good night, boys."

Of the two tents, the chiffons disappeared into one of them.

First, we'll take care of the watch.

It's the Chiffons' turn in the second half.

Ever since I left Krios, I've been rotating like that.

Without party hedges, if we mix up the members and stay on the lookout, we'll also improve our collaboration, etc...

It's a temporary party, so right now, I can't help thinking about the future.

It came to the conclusion that it was better to prioritize safety over it and work with the person you were accustomed to, and it was in its current form.

"Hmm... are you still on guard today? Hippo."

"Luna, don't say that."

"Hey, hey, hey, hey"

"Guru."

It feels like making a little fool of Bitten Sola, and Luna laughs at Niyaniya.

But I agree with you about hippos.

"Do that to Tania..."

"'Cause there's never been a demon attack at night."

"Well, it is."

Sometimes demons attack us because we prioritize speeding at noon and we are not more alert than necessary.

But not at night.

I am perfectly wary that there may be demons lurking in the dark.

Multiple of the most powerful species are on guard.

There's no such thing as a stupid demon jumping into that.

As a result, the night watch was in a situation that didn't make much sense.

"But there may be a raid when you're caught off guard. Keep an eye on him."

"I know. I won't be alarmed anymore."

"Already? That means you've been caught off guard before?

Sola, who listened well, asked in wonder.

Tania makes a face like, Shit.

"Hey, nothing."

"I care"

"I'm curious, too."

"Oh, it's not like I'm going to be alarmed. Impossible."

"I'm saying, how's it actually going? Canade."

"Concerned, concerned"

"Nyah. Actually..."

"Canade! You don't understand me when I say weird things!

Rifa was silently drinking warm soup as everyone spoke pleasantly.

Drink the chicken soup, spill the ho, and mouth the cup again.

I don't know...... it's like a small animal, it soothes when I watch it.

"Oh, yeah."

Looking like he remembered, Rifa put the cup on the ground.

Then he looks at this one and asks.

"I need to ask Rayne something"

"Yeah? What do you want to hear?

"Rayne signed with me. Isn't that right?

"Oh, right. I got a deal."

What... oh, I see.

Somehow I can see the story.

"What abilities did you gain by signing with me?

"I knew that was the story"

Sometimes Tina, this is the second time this story's happened, so I kind of predicted it.

Oh, I miss it.

"Do you miss it?"

"Even when we were there, I said the same thing as Rifa. What kind of abilities did Rain's husband gain by signing with us?"

"I'm so curious. My ability, disappointment if not useless"

"I know! I know. - That feeling. Until we found out what we were capable of, we did a thrilling, harrowing violence."

The last violence doesn't make sense.

"How did you confirm that?

"... what did you do?

"I tried this and it took me a while to find it."

"I just can't do that right now."

I'm in the middle of a camp, so I don't want to make too much noise.

It might attract demons, and it's bad for the sleeping chiffons.

"Too bad"

Rifa looks unfortunate and says sorry.

Though she is a child whose emotions are hard to come up with...

At a time like this, I've come to understand that I feel really sorry for you, though in a short relationship.

I'd like to live up to my expectations if I could...

Well, what do we do?

"Grrrrrr......!

At that time, a dog who had pre-teemed and kept him waiting nearby stood up and roared low.

He stares at the bushes a little further away, making his fangs swoop out.

"Looks like we're gonna have to deal with the demon first before we can reveal Rifa's abilities"

There is no possibility of being a passing person or an ordinary animal.

There is no one but demons against whom dogs show so much hostility.

Or bandits, or beasts... either way, enemies.

"Preemptive Attack"

Rifa bit his thumb and produced a bullet with flowing blood.

After extensive deployment of them, they eject at high speeds.

The bullet of blood pierces the bush and wears something lurking behind it.

"Giggy!?

I heard demon screams.

Is that an oak?

I think it's silly to try to attack you even though everyone is there.

Well, the orcs are less intelligent, so there's no choice in that.

"Canade and Tania are together. Sola and Luna remain on perimeter alert. Rifa, Nina and Tina ask for backup when something happens"

After giving instructions, head to the back of the bush.

For once, we have to make sure that we have defeated the demon.

Make sure you circle in from the side and move to the back of the bush.

At that moment...

"Gah!"

One surviving oak hit me with a stick in the hand.

I may have meant to surprise you, but this one, he's up for attack whenever he wants.

If you deal with it calmly, it's fine.

Just so I'm in the mood, I stare at the oak...

"Gi!?

Suddenly, the oak stopped moving.

Like it was in a gold tie, it seemed like it was best to move only the fingertips, falling into the ground.

"What?

It's not just the oak, it's an unexpected thing for this one...

I'm surprised, I'm stuck with my hand.

I'm wary it might be some kind of trap, but it doesn't look like it either.

For one thing, I stabbed Todome in the meantime and kept the demon stone recovered.

"Nyah... Rain, what was it now?

"He suddenly stopped moving, didn't he? No, I can't move anymore, you might be right."

"No, I'm not sure either..."

Leaning his neck, he returns to everyone.

And after making sure there's nothing wrong with the surroundings, we'll talk about it now.

"... and that's why"

"Congratulations, Rayne"

For some reason, I was blessed by Rifa.

"Probably the ability it gained from signing with me."

"Huh? That one? But I'm not sure what I did..."

"I think the power Rayne has gained is the Devil's Eye"

"Nyah... a demonic eye, when you glance at it, says you can paralyze or fascinate the other person, that demonic eye?

"Yeah, that demon eye"

"Are you serious?"

Isn't that such a powerful ability?

"I'm rare among ghosts, vampires. Some vampires have demonic eyes. I think that's why Rayne got the devil's eye. I don't have it."

"I see."

Magic Eye.

What am I going to do with this newly acquired ability? What can you do?

I want to think about it.
