The hot springs were in working condition, but I can't let them in today. Give up and check the situation on the ground.

The request we received was for the extermination of demons living in church facilities. The demons at the Hot Springs facility had already been exterminated by Raymond, so he decided to head to a training ground near it.

It is in the middle of the mountain that there is a hot spring facility, and the top of this mountain is where we are going to head. From afar, I can see thin slices of snow on them. I think it's probably a pretty high mountain.

"Shall we go home to Erminsur once we have checked on the demons? I'll bring Irvin tomorrow."

I'm just seeing how things are today, so I'm not going to the top. When I climb halfway, I transfer to Elminsur. Irvin has the means to make a long-range attack, so you'd better bring him in before he climbs out in earnest.

"Right. It would be more helpful if you did, because Atashi isn't going to help."

Luna and Mr. Lily can magically attack at a distance, but Claire and Leeds don't have the means to attack flying birds. There's nothing Claire can do to get Leeds to focus on his opponents. It's going to just follow.

"Well, you have no choice. Be alert to the approaching birds."

I may have been held too close. No matter how used you are to handling knives, there's nothing you can do if they fly through the sky.

"Let me do that..."

Climb the mountain while gently pinching the chatter. It was starting to get a little dim around. It's almost sundown. Let's just take a look and go home to Elminsur.

That's what I was thinking, arrow tip, suddenly a big stone poured down from overhead. Direct hit to the head, a little sore.

"What!?"

"It's a stone barrette!

Oh, a real stone barrette. It's the magic that underpinned the anti-material rifle. The magic of stone out with magic and flying that stone. It is not user-friendly.

"Where'd you fly from?

"You're a wise man in the woods... you're close."

Claire shrugged with a nervous face. You look alert.

"Of the woods...?

"It's the nickname Mollyowl. He's good at hiding signs, and he's good at magic. He's got a strong sense of territory, and when he's within range, he's going to attack without sight."

"Heh..."

You're a nasty guy. They seem to attack unconditionally even those who are unwilling to do harm.

But even if I explore the area, I can't feel any sign of that. Instead of my enemy radius, they're also over exploring the map. You wouldn't know if it wasn't Leeds.

"Leeds, do you see any signs?

"Probably... over there, I think"

Leeds pointed in the western direction, tilting his neck. Leeds doesn't seem to know a clear place either. He's been attacking me from quite a distance. I didn't know you were sharper than Leeds.

"Sounds pretty far away...... Tomorrow, he's gone, isn't he?

"None. If it was such a convenient demon, the adventurer wouldn't be afraid of you."

All right. Tomorrow would be fine. If we were doing a search now and doing extermination, the sun would surely go down. I want to avoid that.

"Let's ignore it today. When it's tomorrow, we'll search Mollyowl again."

I don't feel that my purpose has changed, but I haven't forgotten my original purpose, 'Ensuring the safety of the training grounds'. Mollyowl would be the biggest threat on this road, so I'm just making the extermination of this guy my top priority.

"Huh? You can't crusade, can you?

Claire panicked and pinched her mouth.

"Huh? It's dangerous. Don't get rid of it. What are you gonna do?"

When I return it, I take the material Luna received from the church and show it to me.

"It seems that the presence of mollyfowl is part of the trial. It only says to pay attention to this material."

Oh...... I see. Do you even use demons for training? If you accidentally hunt, don't make it quite a hassle.

"Oh well. If that's the case, I can't help it."

That concludes our quest for today. If you're going to cross Mollyowl territory, it's awkward if you don't run through it all at once. We don't have time for this today, so we shouldn't go any further back.

Transferred to Elminsur and moved to the dining room. There, Irvin is as relaxed as usual.

"I'm home. Is that any different?

"Welcome back. As usual. That was fast."

Irvin looks surprised. He seemed to expect a prolonged outing.

"I'm going out tomorrow, too. I just didn't have time to set up a tent today."

At last, there was no place. If there is, in a rubble-filled hot spring facility or in a forest where mori-owls fly stones. Neither will calm you down.

"Oh well. Oh, my God."

Irvin says, as if it were some other HR. I'm pretty sure it's other HR usually, but I'll hang out tomorrow.

"By the way, how's the revolver doing? Aren't you tired of not moving?

"Right. If it doesn't work, it's already dead... Huh? Could it be moving, but you developed it?

Irvin is making a delightful mistake. Maybe I'll develop it next time. That's fine.

"No, I'm not. I found the perfect training ground for you. Tomorrow we'll go together."

"Eh... I don't like it..."

Irvin wrinkled between his eyebrows and distorted his face. I don't like it very much.

"Why not? This is a great opportunity to test the power of revolvers.

"Because... I only have a bad feeling about it. You're a monster anyway, aren't you?

"You know perfectly well. A flying demon. It's not like there's any danger. From the ground, just shoot a gun into the sky."

The stone flies, but it's not dangerous. It just hurts a little.

"You don't have that easy wax! Absolutely!"

"'Cause it's okay. Because we're on it, too. I'm leaving early in the morning, so get ready."

"... I don't want to go..."

Irvin is desperate to resist, but I'll definitely let him accompany him this time. The opponent flies through the sky and avoids bullets, so it should be a very good training. After this training, Irvin will thank me.

Originally, Irvin lived the Mills crusade to his goal. That's enough to fake your gender for that, so I guess you were pretty prepared.

But now that I've lost my goal, Irvin is full of it. You were supposed to accompany us in the hope of special training, but you've done very little that sounds like training. If I hadn't let you take care of Daikichi, I'd have eaten and slept with Lumia.

That's just not good. Even my father, O'Malley, shouldn't have left it with me with the intention of letting him play.

I picked up the morning and transferred to the woods yesterday after holding Irvin, who was still asleep. Then Irvin wakes up and looks around.

"Huh...? Where are we?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Irvin. I brought it on my own......"

"I stopped Atashi, too, but it was a waste."

Luna and Claire say sorry. I guess I should have just woken up...... Irvin hasn't even washed his face. I should have let you do the same.

"Sorry about that. I'll lend you a tarp, so you can circle around and give yourself a hand."

"That's not the problem... I want to go home..."

Irvin shrugged in his sleeping, plundering voice. Looks like she's still a little sleepy. In this situation, there's no way you can go home.

I hooked a tarp to a tree and made a simple curtain. Irvin is dressed on the other side of it. We waited for Irvin to finish his duties. I knew you should have brought him in after you woke him up. This wait is dally.

"Again..."

Irvin came out of the tarp with a look like he'd given up. The clothes are leather clothes that I bought before. He wears it from time to time and looks pretty used to it.

"Well, let's go"

Take off the tarp and just leave. Irvin walks beside Claire with an unpleasant look on his face. Claire is oddly well looked after, so she helps at times like this.

After a short walk, the stone came down again today. It's a Mollyowl attack. Once again, they're after me overhead. They're after me at the pinpoint, even though we've got six. Is that even a grudge against me?

"Huh? Stone?

Irvin raised his voice in surprise. Irvin wasn't there yesterday, so I guess I don't know why. I need an explanation.

"Sometimes in these woods, stones come down. Sunny and sometimes stone. Don't worry, it's normal."

"Heh, yeah..."

When Irvin nods with a serious face, Claire says with a smiley face.

"Hey... don't tell me anything nasty..."

It's a little joke...... Looks like Claire's giving Irvin the right information, so let's check with Leeds right now.

"Leeds, do you know where you are?

"Hmmm... I guess that way..."

Leeds pointed west in a bewildered manner. The lurker hasn't changed since yesterday.

"Copy that. Let's proceed with vigilance."

While Leeds and I were interacting, Irvin had an eye for blame on me. It was a little joke......

The stones that come down once in a while are depressing, but ignorant. Run slowly so as not to irritate the mori-owl.

After a while I noticed strong signs approaching me suddenly at a tremendous rate.

"What!?"

Stop in a hurry. I accidentally made a voice out of it, but it would definitely be a mollyowl.

"Come on! Mollyowl!"

That's what Leeds said and set himself up for. Everyone imitates it.

Then, on the ground in front of him, there was a great shadow without sound. Looking up above, a large bird with a round face is swirling. Is this the mollyowl......

Molly owls are a lot bigger than earthly owls. It's as long as my back. You can't fly that size, that's a sweet idea. Flying around with sword-like agility.

But I want you to wait a minute. Owls are slow to fly among raptors. For that matter, the senses are sharp and I can fly quietly.

The owls in this world seem to ignore such laws cancer. The movement is agile even though the senses are sharp, and you are good at turning off signs. Even the sound of flying, I can barely hear it. Sounds like top compatibility for all birds.

"How do we get rid of it..."

It's hard to get rid of it. I can't use magic that specializes in getting rid of it.

"You shouldn't stimulate me, right?

"I know. Irvin, make the revolver weakest and try to shoot a few shots."

"Ok......"

If you weaken the revolver's power, it loses its killing power. It's as powerful as an air gun. Try making it mollyowl, it'll do nothing but depressing. I just want to get rid of it, that's fine.

Irvin punches in a few bullets for Mollyowl. The released bullet vanished into the sky plundering a slew of mollyowls. Neither does Irvin.

"All right, that's how it goes. Keep shooting me till you leave this place."

That's what I instructed, but Claire grabbed Irvin's arm and stopped him.

"No! Stop it right now!

Moving his gaze to Mollyowl in surprise at Claire's scream, Mollyowl stared at this one and descended sharply. Looks like Irvin's offense just inspired his opponent.

And the Mollyowl is coming at me. So why me?! It must have been Irvin who was attacking!

Well, it would be less dangerous and more helpful if you targeted me.

It's troublesome to deal with each other properly, so let's stun them with intimidating magic.

I used intimidating magic toward Mollyowl. The Mollyowl then clashed to the ground and stopped moving with the momentum it had been advancing.

"All right. Let's go."

You should be able to hold back for a while. Don't worry about getting attacked with this. Let's get out of the territory while we can.

"You're not dead...?

Claire groaned worryingly at my ass trying to walk out. Sure, I crashed a lot of momentum. Are you okay......

"Shall I hang the healing magic? Everybody stay alert."

... I don't know, I remember doing this before. It's like when I was a daikichi. Mollyowl will never miss you either...?

When he finished healing, Mollyowl shrugged with rattles and tremors. And then he kicked the ground in an irresistible foothold and immediately flew away from the scene. I didn't seem to have to worry about being nostalgic. But......

How could you have been so frightened when the intimidation should have expired...?
