My Glasses Will Be Able to Conquer the Whole World, I Suppose.

I went into the woods, and quite a bit of time passed.

I guess many have returned to the tower because there are no more signs of humans dotted in the woods.

- Oh, it's you.

"- Hey, you can't. Be rude.... Um, sorry?

As I wandered through the woods looking for Sika, I met the candidate.

Um... Marion and, were you sure it was Geodyne? A neutral girl and a seemingly feeble boy.

"Zero points. Are you looking for wolf smoke, too?

Even though my friends are apologizing, they don't mind calling me a zero point and saying to Marion, "Are you looking for that one, too?" Returning them, they nodded.

Well, I guess so.

There's no way I'm wandering around like this because if I had gotten it, I would be home to the tower for so long.

I have every favor to ask, so I have no choice.

A good amount of time has passed since the training began.

The sun is leaning, and it's time for the sun to set.

As a hunter, I would judge this neighborhood to be intriguing.

Nights are dangerous even in the woods you're used to, but it's just too dangerous to wander the woods you're unfamiliar with at night.

"Hmmm... even if you look at the sky, the red smoke isn't up anymore"

Marion is right. I can't see the smoke anymore.

Which would mean that all the wolf smoke was taken.

"Why don't you give up already and go back?

"Huh? What about you? Still not going back?

Something in her, "0 points" already seems to be my nickname.

Well, I guess I'd rather be that way than called a name. I am not particularly dissatisfied.

"Because instructor Solitica told me to come hunt chica. I came to the back of the woods looking for you."

"Huh? Sika? You're in training?

Thanks for the training. They thought you were looking for Shika.

"It's like I'm done with training."

"... well, if you ask me so"

Marion seemed stunned by my response, but in view of the current situation - which I can only assume is confirmed by the loss - I didn't even think it was that strange.

Well, I might have thought it was "swallowing" or something.

But even me, I just can't believe I'm hunting during training, you think it's that.

But you asked me to, so I wouldn't have a choice.

"Marion, let's go back. Bye, Ayle."

"Oh, cooking duty for a week."

And the two of them are gone. You just don't get lost, those two.... I remember Fu, is Zed home already?

- Using "body heat vision," I finally encountered the candidate again on my way to find a shika-like red shadow and dive in.

"Ooh, meat man"

……

Don't call me a meat man.

I knew there was someone there, and I thought I'd just say hi and go through, but there was Florentine, so I ran into him.

Next to Florentine, there is a girl with a long, thin, round taller body that is considerably taller than me, with a face hidden in brown hair that is long and close to blush black, and a blue-white complexion in the area she is seeing, with an evil spirit-like atmosphere.

Well, it's not spiritual because I've seen it in the tower since this morning. Someone with an entity.

Erase method, but maybe she's caro...... caro somehow.

It's isolated because of the conditioning in the room, I think it's the cause of yesterday's odor.

"Did you find the wolf smoke? We're not at all."

I don't know what kind of relationship you two have, but, well, Florentine's an adult, unlike me. Maybe the AC is just starting normally.

"I saw Marion earlier, but he said I couldn't find him over there either. Aren't you done with your training already? I can't even see the smoke."

"Well...... just wondering if it's too late. Hey, Karon?"

"... yeah"

I think Karon is nicknamed, but the spiritual girlfriend whispers.

He's got a big body, but he seems like a modest type with a small chi and voice. - Nice. I think it's great to have a personality that doesn't come. I may feel comfortable with her. Ask about the formula or something when you get a chance.

"Do you really want to go home? Ayle, let's go home."

"No, I've been hunting chicas since... oh, yeah. I'm hunting chicas now, so will you carry them?

Instructor Yorgo said yesterday that the sea lions around here are really big.

I was a little surprised to see it yesterday.

When I did, I found something that looked like a big sika's footprint, and I went after it, and there was a giant sika with suspicious eyes.

Or is that chica?

It was about two times bigger than the hexagonal deer that is the demon, though.

Well, I guess it's different from the kind of chica I know.

Because it's about the size of a normal horse.

Especially the stags, in addition to their splendid physique, have a splendid horn, and the feeling of not being alone and intimidating is amazing. He looks stronger than a bad carnivore.

It's such a giant chica that it would be more natural to leave it to Florentine than for me to take charge and go home.

It is also possible to take it home as it is if you set up "Materials", but the possibility arises that you will find out.

So I was going to cut out the part and collect it though.

But I don't even know about the demons that live around here yet, so it's not a good idea to wiggle the smell of blood.

I wanted to avoid the demolition work on this occasion if I could, because it could call me in.

So it is Florentine.

By chance, this was a lucky encounter.

"Sika! Ho! The meat man hunts the meat! This pattern hasn't been around since that village!

Right. Ever since then. But don't call me a meat man.

- So, as my former master put it, the three of us are returning with Sika.

Again, naturally, the three of us were the last.

Eleven candidates and three instructors waited thoughtfully in front of the tower.

Those who returned early, etc. have a tight gaze that can be directed at us because they have made us wait a long time.

…………

Well, if Florentine sees the chica she's been carrying, it doesn't seem to matter how late we are.

The candidates are surprised by a sea lion as big as a horse. Right? I was really surprised when I saw it yesterday, too. It's not a common chica, is it? This.

but the teachers I've already seen, there's no reason to be surprised.

"- So?"

Look at the three of us, instructor Evanesque said.

"There are nine gatherings of wolf smoke. Who has the last one?

"" Huh?

Next to Florentine and Karo managing to look strange, I take off the leather bag I was lowering to my waist and offer it away.

"Go ahead."

"" Huh?

What surprised me about this was not just Florentine and Caro managing, but also Marion and Geodyne, who met just before them.

……

When instructor Evanesque silently received the leather bag, he opened his mouth, which was tightly tied and sealed so as to wrap it in multiple pieces and not leak smoke - red smoke from the gap was about to rise.

"... good. The last trainee is Ayle."

There's nothing wrong with that.

In short, I did not encounter anyone and just adjusted the time to avoid collisions.

First, recover the wolf smoke balls that were where no one was headed and seal them to prevent smoke from erupting.

After that, he killed some time and waited for the candidates working in the woods to pull up.

And I showed my face to the "Four People Who Couldn't Find Wolf Smoke," which was supposed to stay until the end, to make it smell dark that I was in the same position as them.

If the four of us were together, we would just avoid it and go back to the tower, but we met because it was falling apart.

If anyone or everyone in "The Four Who Couldn't Find Wolf Smoke" sees how the tower looks and finds out there are only nine candidates back.

They may ambush the "last one" near the tower.

It was a sign of intent to "be in the same position" as a facial display to prevent it.

If you're going to ambush me, you're not going to attack "those who don't have wolf smoke."

If you recover fastest in a straight line, there are candidates around.

They may come to take it.

Even if it is halfway late to collect and return, there is a higher risk of encountering other candidates to come and take them or ambush them.

Then I will return as the slowest "one without wolf smoke".

That's how I took "Safely Protect Wolf Smokeball".

"- Hey, zero points, you! You have wolf smoke!

Well, I'm not even willing to explain it to anyone this long.

Marion complains, but I've already thought of a response to that.

"- I don't have it, I didn't say it."

I'm not lying.

I still have no idea what "material" the candidates have, so I avoid saying "untrue things" as much as possible.

Because some may have "material to spot lies".

"Whoa, did you cheat on us?

"I don't remember fooling you, but you turned out to be. I'm sorry."

I'm not lying, but I'm pretty sure I was speaking in a misleading direction.

I don't care about the others, but the four people I spent in that village are just a little special to me.

Because we normally think we're friends.

So if Florentine is angry, I want to apologize.

Well, I don't think he's as angry as this.

"- Yeah, man! Let's eat chica, meat man!

I knew Florentine was callous. But don't call me a meat man.
