The case of the embezzlement of the salt making guild settled one case at a time. We've got all the evidence, so arrest the killers and we'll solve the case. However, there won't be one killer, and some of the guys who heard the noise and ran away. Whoever escapes needs to chase him to the end of the earth.

Well, that's not my job. Pushing everything on Gilbert and the others, we returned to Elminsur early.

As I lowered my package and took a breath, I heard an unpleasant noise from inside my magic bag.

"Vvv...... vv......"

It's a transcriber. He shivers reluctantly and sounds melancholy. When I was deciding to ignore him, Luna groaned with sorrow.

"Um... it's ringing..."

Yeah, I know. A message came in from the Imperial Castle.

"Anyway, you said, 'Report what happened today'. You don't have to look."

Gilbert and the others will also have a direct transcript of the Royal Castle, so what I did must be out of control. I've got to hurry up and report it. I'm gonna be fine later. If it was, I don't think I'd mind continuing to ignore it all the time like this.

Well, they'll complain the next time we meet, so I'll report back tomorrow.

"... if you put it behind you, it won't be a hassle?

Claire says worryingly. I agree with that. But...

"It's already a hassle... I'm off today because I'm tired."

What's the trouble, this report? I am mentally tired of the King's ruse. The king's winning face comes to my attention. I don't want to contact you today because I'm angry.

"Oh well. I've never been happy to hear from the Imperial Castle."

Claire says fed up. If we're having a fun interaction from time to time, I'd be willing to read it, even if I'm tired. I think it's a hassle anyway, and I really want to put it behind me.

Sometimes it's simply a hassle, but it's true you're tired. I stayed motionless all day, from before dawn until sundown. Exactly. I want to sleep now.

I completely ignored the transcriptor that kept ringing and took a bath to rest.

The next day. It's a hassle transcribing machine check after you wake up refreshed. I took the transcriber out of the magic bag and turned my attention to the screen. Then there were no usual long greetings, and there were many lines of concise sentences with just one word.

"Urgent: Demonic raids in the city of Cuenca. Make sure you get to the rescue immediately. '

"Do it..."

You can't be the one to ignore...

"What's the matter?

Leeds has heard it in the loose voice between. I think things are serious for what they are, but I feel less nervous about Leeds' voice.

"Even the demon raid. It's a city called Cuenca, you know?

Claire, who was nearby, answers my question with a voice that looks serious.

"A little south of Bilbao. What's the situation?"

"I don't know. That doesn't say much about it. Anyway, you better hurry."

Bilbao is a city on a mountain just southwest of Wangdu. A little further south than that, probably at the foot of the mountain on the south side. I think if we move around the streets along the way and run, we can get there in about two hours.

"... right. Let's go."

Luna was about to start preparing her breakfast, but she stopped that hand and put her hand on her magic bag.

We have to hurry because we don't know until we go into the details. Breakfast will be skipped, but I can manage with bread while running. Just get dressed and we'll leave soon.

Ask Irvin to leave a message today. I think one or more demonic raids would be better... but Irvin can't say he can fight enough yet, so he better not take them.

Transfer to the nearby field first. The goal is where I spent the night at the foot when I first went to Bilbao.

"You just have to go south from here, right?

"Right. But it's hard to tell from here, so you'd better get out of here once you see the streets."

Claire's right, there's nothing here that could be a landmark. I think it will be a roundabout when I get out to the street, but if I get lost for a shortcut, it's the end of the line. First we aim at the streets that lead to Cuenca.

The streets were quickly found. It stretches like a big detour through the mountains.

The streets were quite crowded today, causing traffic in a hurry carriage to the north side. The merchants who will turn back, or the residents who will evacuate the city. It's pretty far from the city of Cuenca, so I don't think it's dangerous. I ignored the carriage in traffic and hurried ahead.

When the signs of people disappeared from the streets, a fence was seen in the distance. Is that the city of Cuenca?

"That's Cuenca. Looks like the walls are safe..."

I said as Claire slowed down her run. To go with it, everyone slows down.

I stopped once and checked the city again. As far as I can see from here, I can't see the walls are broken. I don't even see any smoke inside the walls like there's a fire. I guess we're not in a situation where demons creep into the city. I feel a little relieved.

"Well, let's get a map out and see what's going on."

Dear Map in Trouble. The demons and human situation nearby can be seen at a glance. I took the map out of the magic bag and checked the light points displayed on the screen.

A small red light point can be seen chilling around the city. It's a little demon like a goblin. You can ignore them all because they are cluttered fish that can be prevented by walls. The problem is a big reaction with all eight of them.

Five light points in the auga and three unset light points. An unset is a demon I haven't met yet. The demon information is manually registered, so this is what happens when you have demons you don't know.

"There's someone you don't know."

"Let's get a little closer."

Looking at the map as I walked, I could somehow see the battle. There are only about ten human signs. You're working a lot harder with a small number of people. Looks like they're reducing the number of miscellaneous fish while holding back the big guys.

Unfortunately, they don't have enough people to hold Auga in one blow. I know you're trying to get away from the city, but Jiri poverty is definite as it is. If there's even one less combatant, they'll break through.

"Looks a little pushy. Let's hurry."

I served the map in a magic bag, ran and moved it all at once.

The place they're fighting is right next to the city gates. Unlike stone walls, gates are wooden and fragile. I guess I'm focusing on protecting it because that's where the steeple will be. Well, if it's Auga's power, you can break the fence, so rest easy.

Stop once where the big guy can see it. What you can see from here are the familiar orgasms. Muscular and large figure...... I found one of them, a guy with about twice the width of the horizontal instead of being as short as one head minute with the other augs.

"That aug, that's awesome fat..."

"It's not an orga. It's a troll......"

Apparently not. I do feel a little different about the signs. Was that an unset demon...... Well, it's something similar.

"I took the fat one. Can I take care of the regular orgasm?

"Yes!"

Leeds answered with a lively voice. I guess there's a build-up of depression over the salt making guild thing because brain labor was the main thing. Ask Leeds to stick it out. Even so, if it's about august, it's instant killing.

My opponent is three fat men. This guy is the first demon to fight, so I don't know the danger. I want to be careful and finish from a distance, but this time I can't use an anti-material rifle. People are urchin ', so stray bullets hit me. We'll have to fight in Matchett.

He grabs Matchett in his right hand and runs out behind the fat man, then jumps straight up towards the fat man's head. At the same time, he spoke to those who were fighting in the front.

"I took this one on! Stay back!"

"Hell yeah! Huh? Koh!?"

Those who were fighting shout out in surprise. If you look closely at him, he was a member of the Glad Squad. I don't know his name.

Swing through Matchett with the jumping momentum. I felt resistance to my right arm, but not so heavy. The top flew out of Troll's jaw.

"We'll talk later! We'll take care of the rest!

That said, hurry to the next troll. Next thing you know, it's from the side. Using the momentum to run through, he hunted Troll's neck. I still feel a little resistance. You seem to have become more resistant than you just did.

Is it stiffer than an auga...... No, it's hard to kill with buyo buyo. Fat is clumped around the blade, and Matchett's cleavage has also fallen.

That's more troublesome than I thought. The blow won't work in any way because it's inhibited by fat, and if you prolong to fight with a sword, the cleavage will fall. When I finished my third troll, Matchett was just a blunt instrument. Troll's neck flew away so that it could be ripped off.

If I had fought from the front, I would have prolonged it even longer. I can also snort that the Glad squad was struggling.

Matchette, who became a git with fat, was treated to a magic bag and looked around.

When Leeds wielded the iron stick vigorously, Auga's neck was spatteringly slashed and blown away. I can't find a blade anywhere. It's a regular iron stick...... It's a magical effect, but it's a slightly strange sight. I guess Troll should have left it to Leeds.

Other members, too, were crusading the Auga at risk. Well, I guess it's natural because he's the one I've fought over and over.

Apparently Luna finished the fight early, showing room to check the map. I approached Luna and spoke to her.

"You're done all the way. Anything else?

"You're turning back. Don't worry."

Peeping into Luna's map, he saw the miscellaneous fish that were around him leaving for a scatter. You won't have to worry about getting attacked anymore.

"Hmm. You cleared it up faster than I thought."

I just took a breath and an unnamed soldier approached me and shouted at me.

"You guys are as outrageous as ever"

We've had several joint trainings with the Glad Squad, so we all know each other. I don't know your name, but I can talk to you easily.

But I can't solve that frightening attitude. If you're as good as Troll, you should be able to crusade at your leisure, not just Captain Gilbert. He is a troublesome enemy, but he cannot say that he was on the verge of defeat.

"No, no, you guys have to be able to do it, too. I'm a Glad squad."

"... don't keep me with the captains. We're human."

The unnamed soldier says with a bitter laugh. He's rude...... Instructor Glad is suspicious, but I think Gilbert is a Gilli.

No, no, not if you're talking nonsense. Let's check the city first.

"How can you be so small in numbers than that? There are no adventurers in this city?

Only a platoon of Glad Squads is here right now. I don't see any adventurers or soldiers in general. If there were a few more people who could fight, these guys would have fought easier.

"How long do you think it's been since we were raided? We've already left the front."

"... oh well"

It's already been over half a day since an emergency call came in to me. Plus, considering the time lag until you contacted me, I can assume you stayed in battle all day. Late at night, too. It's hard to keep fighting without taking a break for that long.

"There's been a lot of injuries. So far no one has died, but this city won't function for a while"

Fortunately, the dead weren't. That said, if I hadn't ignored the transcript, I would have arrived in the middle of the night. If I hadn't been lazy, the damage would have been less. Continuing reflection......

"Sorry I'm late."

"That's not true. Thank you so much for coming so soon."

That gratitude is very painful right now.

"I don't want to thank you. Let me know what the damage is first."

"I'm sorry, but I don't have time to go into detail right now. Auga and Troll got knocked down, but there are still miscellaneous fish left"

The demons are starting to retreat, but these guys have no way of knowing that. Besides, we might start attacking again. You better keep your guard up.

"Right. Let's hang out until we're done cleaning the mess."

"No, we're good enough for later. Koh and the others need to get inside the city first."

The unnamed soldier says as he shook his head to the side.

"Are you sure?

"Oh. It's a terrible thing in the city, too, so it would help if you helped me over there."

"I see. If that's the case, I'll let you into the city first."

It's quicker to check with your own eyes than to ask what's terrible. The vigilance was left to the unnamed soldiers, who headed to the gate.
