We were asked to exterminate the Ghost, and we went back to Erminsur to take measures to prevent a relapse. If you take a magic bag that goes in huge quantities, you should be able to avoid a major outbreak of ghosts.

The amount of magic bags we have is bigger than what's commercially available. But this time it wasn't enough at all. I had no choice but to use all the luxury materials in my hand to create an ultra-high capacity magic bag.

The capacity of this magic bag is larger than that of the school gym. I feel too big to be user-friendly. I wonder if I can sort it out...

"I'm ready. You can go anytime."

Looking around at Claire's words, everyone was already up and waiting for the time of departure.

"Copy that. Let's go, then"

That's what I said, I used metastatic magic.

Transferring to the meadows is a hassle to travel, so transfer into the woods all at once. This is where I was forming last time to exterminate the aug. From here, it would be easy to recover the material taken away.

"In the meantime, give me a map"

When I took the map out and checked, there was a ghost reaction everywhere in the woods. There are ten of them just by counting them. I think I've got a bad feeling about it.

"There's so many of them..."

"Right. Be careful not to approach the Ghost in the woods. Especially since Leeds and Claire don't have the means to fight the Ghost, so don't go too far ahead."

Leeds seems somewhat okay, but Claire's pretty worried. Leeds has a proven track record of beating Diego up, while Claire really doesn't have the means to counter it. You can get hit all you want.

It doesn't take direct damage from the Ghost, but it's too dangerous to pass out in the middle of a forest full of ogres.

"Yes."

Claire nodded seriously silently when she replied, not sure if Leeds had figured it out or not. The difference in the sense of crisis...... I want Leeds to feel a little more nervous.

Whatever you do, it's dangerous if you don't get rid of the augs first. If a biological orga comes out during a battle with the Ghost, it'll be over with a few injuries.

"I'll deal with the ghost when it comes out. Everybody stay focused on the orga."

Avoid ghosts from this one, but there's nothing you can do if they approach you from the other side. I'll take the lead then.

"I can fight too!

"Bad, Luna's been waiting a while. I'll lead you to the meadows if you misinterpret the auga, so fight me there."

Luna and Mr. Lily can fight the Ghost as well, but they're still unfamiliar. It's impossible to fight in a forest like this.

"Ok......"

Raw augs are considerably less than last time. I guess I perceived the danger and pulled into the back of the woods. This is convenient. Proceed with the recovery of the body now.

"If you find an orga that's rolling, throw it in my magic bag"

A few days have passed since the last ghost extermination. I also feel that corruption is progressing slightly, but I can't tell you the details. It is more important to reduce the occurrence of ghosts than to sell them as materials.

"Um... wouldn't it be quicker to burn it...?

Luna says as she draws the orga that has become Buyo Buyo. Left alone for a few days, Auga was in a bad state unexpectedly. An unpleasant odor drifts from the gap in the ripped skin.

"I'm sure it might be. But I've been making magic bags, so let's bring them back."

Even if you say you're in bad shape, your skin is safe. Some money will come in.

Last time I used this place as a base for extermination. There's got to be an orga rolling about a kilometer radius from here. Walk around the area and retrieve the rolling augs. And I recovered five bodies...

"That's crazy..."

"What is it?

"The orgs I left behind shouldn't have been this many. I wonder if someone picked it up..."

Like when I left Cyclops in Mirzia, maybe one showed up like a fire scene thief.

"No. Then you should get a report in the Adventurer Guild. There can't be a few orgasms brought in and not rumored."

Adventurers redeem in Adventurer Alliances when they crusade demons. It's not obligatory, but we all do because it's hard to sell outside the guild. As a result, rumors soon spread about who crusaded what. What Luna says is that as soon as there's a catty one, we'll know.

"That's true...... So there's a demon eating an ogre corpse?

"There are some of those kinds of wolves, but they don't live around here. That's a little hard to think about."

Then... what? It should be too early to return to nature.

"Can't you help thinking about it? It looks like there aren't any live orgasms around here, so let's start exterminating the Ghost."

I got rid of about three raw orgasms and the only reaction around me was the ghost. There's no reason to stay in the woods. Priority should be given to the extermination of the Ghost.

"Right. Me, Lily and Leeds, we'll lead the way, so I was wondering if I could leave the crusade to Coe and Luna."

That's a good idea. Mr. Lilli, who can fight the Ghost, should join the guide because he can't even say he's safe.

"Oh, please"

When I said that, I went through the woods and out to the meadows.

Then there was a pile of corpses of rotting orgasms around the grassland and forest boundary. Looks like someone was collecting it. And I feel signs of remembrance nearby. It's Mr. Beverly. I sat hidden in the shade of a tree.

"Is that it, Mr. Beverly? Why are you here?

"Active... I want to see..."

Mr. Beverly said he wanted to see me work.

Nevertheless, we arrive a lot faster. I suppose it's too soon to say that it dawned overnight after I took the request. Even if I moved as soon as I was contacted, it would take a day's carriage from Wang Du to get here. It's hard to imagine you'll arrive sooner than us...

No way, you were collecting orga bodies without leaving?

"Is this orga by Mr. Beverly?

"Yes. Collected"

Since Mr. Beverly is familiar with the ecology of the Ghost, did he feel the possibility of recurrence and counteract it?

I tried to ask the next question, but suddenly Leeds's voice sounded.

"Mr. Kon! Go!"

"Ah! Got it!

Two ghosts jumped out of the woods. Now is not the time to relax. He stood in front of the Ghost with the magic of purification (excercise) on his fists and feet.

When me and Luna confronted the Ghost, Leeds went into the woods again. Leeds didn't notice any sign of Mr. Beverly. I guess I'm concentrating on the Ghost. Whatever it is, I will now focus on exterminating the Ghost.

Low kicks, low kicks, low kicks, and low kicks!

"Pavan!"

Ghost could play. The painting surface is too plain!

If this was a martial arts event, you'd get a big boost. But there's nothing better to fight for than this.

Luna said, we're still engaged. Kick Ghost's foot and fly into the air, palm bottom against his belly. He took a fist waved down from the ghost with his palm bottom, plus a palm bottom of the pursuit on his arm. Ghost, frightened, beats Luna with the other arm, and Luna lands guarded with her arm.

... Much flashy, huh?

I wonder how... On closer observation, Luna seemed to have the magic of purification (an exercise) all over her body. Even when attacked by ghosts, the magic of purification (excercise) inhibits it. It's invincible.

I didn't realize you had the means. Can we fight easier if we act like Luna...... Come on, say it!

Don't worry about Luna. While Luna is at war with the Ghost, let's talk to Mr. Beverly.

"No way, you've been here since the last crusade?

"Yes. Ghost out. That's why I waited."

Really, I think I've been here a long time. If you knew it would happen, you should have told me first.

"You knew it would happen again."

"I knew. Demon Stone... crushing it and sprinkling it on the corpse creates ghosts"

"Huh?"

Mr. Beverly said something disturbing. I'm very concerned, the next ghost is imminent.

"Mr. Coe!

Luna informed me of Ghost's approaching.

"Ah! Hey... damn! We'll talk later!

Referring to how Luna fought, she applied the magic of purification (excercise) all over her body. I try to get hit once in a while.

"Pavan!"

When the fierce bursting sound echoed around, a strong impact ran on my body and flew behind Luna in battle. It's a shock like being hit by a raw orga. I see. The magic of purification (excercise) is magic that you can fight as if you have an entity against the Ghost.

Discussion later. It stands in Luna's way as it is. Get up and get the ghost... are you there?

"Is that it? Where have you been?

To my soliloquy, Luna answers while the Ghost strikes.

"The shock of beating Mr. Coe has made him disappear...?

Seriously? Self-destruct! Isn't that a super easy win?

"I don't care how many come out at this rate."

"... sounds like it"

Ghost coming out of the woods beats me from one end. And each time, the ghost can play and disappear. It's a pretty strong shock, so it hurts somewhat. But if this is all you can take down, it's incredibly easy. Hit me as much as you want.

The ghost reaction, which was massive in the woods, all vanished. This is the end of the extermination of the Ghost. Everyone just got together and listens to Mr. Beverly again.

"What do you mean, a ghost is born?

"I studied it. Ghost is a mass of magic. Once the conditions are in place, you will be born on your own..."

As Beverly put it, that means he intentionally created the Ghost...

"I don't think so. Was this disturbance set up by Mr. Beverly?

"... If the ghost comes out, I'll see you..."

That's right!

"You can't do this..."

It's like paying attention to elementary school kids who flirt, but I can't say anything else than this.

There's no such thing as a decision.

"... Really?

Ask Claire.

"You sure don't have one... I've never heard of ghosts being created intentionally."

Is there no precedent? Then there's no choice... there's no way.

"Don't do something so dangerous because you don't have a decision."

"Dangerous. Koh defeats it."

It turned out that way though!

"What would you have done if I hadn't been able to defeat you..."

"You can't lose"

Ideas are at stake!

"I'm not willing to lose, but I can't be sure I'll ever win."

"Koh, it's no use talking... Let's get you to the Adventurer Alliance."

"Right..."

I bracketed the reluctant Beverly on Mr. Lily's back and ran out toward Wang Du. It's a little harassment, Mr. Lily, not Claire. Look, Mr. Lily runs rough... They're flying, jumping, and going around without meaning.

Once inside the Adventurer Guild, I asked Mr. Elysia to summon the guild leader. In the reception room where the soundproofing magic props have worked, report the upside of the matter.

Mr Beverly was also present in this report, but he has not yet woken up, having passed out on Mr Lilli's back. The story was going to be a hassle, so I'm tying it up with a rope and rolling it on the floor.

"That's why... What do we do?"

Upon completion of a single report, the guild chief looked up to heaven with a wrinkle between his eyebrows.

"Damn...... I've never heard of anything like this."

"Neither do we. I hear Mr. Beverly discovered it."

"If it's true, it's a big discovery... no, the fact is, you had a ghost going on. This is such a big discovery as to be awarded by the state..."

If only it had been announced in a decent way. Mr. Beverly may not have been malicious in this case. But one mistake was catastrophic.

"You can't just make it public."

"Right...... Leave the rest to us. I'll keep it together somehow."

That's why I brought him here. It's an act like Setouchi whether it's going to be a crime or not, so it's difficult for soldiers to deal with it. An Adventurer's Guild would do well.

"Oh. Please."

I entrusted Beverly with the Alliance Leader while she passed out, and we left the Adventurer Alliance behind.

After a while, a new item was added to the Ghost's occurrence conditions. That's when I got a report that Beverly was deposited with a national research facility. As a researcher, I think that would be best. But too good a researcher doesn't know what to do. I'm scared......
