"Oh, it's so easy to get to the back of the woods."

My name is Ivan, and I'm an adventurer based in the Forest of Warcraft.

This time our party was coming to the back of the woods that we had never reached before.

Because that rookie, no, a newbie named Rex, made it look good again.

Oh, my God, that bastard magically made his way into the Warcraft Forest.

Not only did the merchants no longer have to bypass the woods to get to nearby villages and towns, but if they evacuated near the middle of the road, they could protect themselves from plant-based demons like trap plants and killer plants.

The benefits of this road are immeasurable and many merchants and travellers have already begun to use this street.

In addition, the Alliance and neighboring towns paid each other money to hire adventurers, and created new squares for carriages to be different from each other and to camp.

Thanks to this path and the square, we were able to get a bridgehead to go behind the woods that we had never been able to make before.

Damn it, Rex, it's different.

Besides, I'm surprised this happened in just two days.

I don't think it's the speed with which the late Alliance jizzies and officials move.

You'd be surprised if the guys who were in the woods staying in came back.

What are the days I've been desperately trying to connect and shrink my nerves?

"Exactly. There's a ton of material and demons around here. You can hunt all you want because you don't have people's hands!

We're not the only ones, and other adventurers are obsessed with collecting material behind the woods for the first time.

The outer periphery of the forest was a situation where everyone fitted the material together, so the back of the forest is just a pile of treasure.

"Oh, Madaraman, it's Dragola!

"There's a horn rat's nest over here!

"Ouch!

"Bye! Evacuate the streets immediately and recover!

"Oh, oh!

Even if the demon accidentally attacked me because I was obsessed with collecting it, it really made it easier to do my job because I just had to hurry off to the streets.

"He might reach the deepest end of the woods."

My people snort at my whining. You don't have to check who you're referring to just by saying "he" anymore.

"Sa, I'm gonna take all the material around here right now, you bastards!

"" "Ooh!

Even so, there's really a lot of material around here that I don't feel I can get rid of.

"Even around here, the forest as a whole is still a bit deep from the outer perimeter, so it's a really big forest."

"Ha, good luck today -"

After I finish my work in the Warcraft Forest, I head to the Alliance desk for a debrief.

The job of burning the outer periphery of the woods, the job of making roads, and the request to crusade ordinary demons.

Especially if you burn the woods at the end of a normal request, you'll get a high reward on your own, so you're in the mood for it.

"I burned this area of the woods today and added a new way over here. And this is the Hexa Arm Monkey for the Crusade."

After pointing out and explaining the location where the road was enlarged by pointing to the staff's widened map, submit a piece of the demonic body proving the crusade.

I wouldn't have a problem with having a magic bag, but it's hard for people who don't have it to bring back parts of the demon that aren't for sale, so the Adventurer Guild will decide that the request is a success if they submit parts that can discern the demon.

Though, magic bags aren't cheap, but I think I can usually buy them.

A magician would be able to make his own.

Speaking of which, they said Lost Items or something in Toguy town.

Why don't we ask someone what this is about next time?

"Yes, we have confirmed the crusade site. As for the incineration of the forest today and the expansion of the road, the clerk will confirm it and then give it a ride on the next reward. And the incineration reward for the other day will be 24 gold coins. We will pay you in conjunction with 30 pieces of silver coins, the reward for today's crusade request."

As soon as I was thinking, the receptionist checked the crusade materials and prepared the reward.

"Thank you"

When I get paid, I leave the desk immediately so that I don't get in the way of the person behind me.

Um, I still worked today.

... but I seem to have forgotten something...

"Oh, shit! I forgot to let Mr. Liliera see the demon I crusaded!

Shit! I was going to show her the demons I crusaded in the woods so she could see that I didn't do anything wrong!

I got a crusade request for it, but I accidentally submitted it to the desk because of my accomplishments after work!

"Ugh, let's get another crusade request tomorrow"

I can't help what I've failed.

Eat something delicious today and change your mood.

"Yikes! It's mesh, mesh! Let's eat!

And if I was depressed, Mr. Ivan and the others had finished buying the materials, and were headed to the tavern counter in the guild.

"Whoa, isn't that Lex! Are you making money?

Mr. Ivan, who just found me, hits me in the back.

"Ouch. Ouch."

I'm a good guy, but I hope you stop banging me on the back.

"Damn, we're making money! Thanks to you!

"Is it mine?

"Whoa! You've made the road in the woods easier for us to work!

"Haha, more than anything I can do to help you..."

"Hmm? I don't know how you are. What's bothering you? All right, my uncle's gonna talk to you! Mesh first, mesh!

If I had noticed, I would have been dragged by Mr. Ivan and had dinner with him. [M]

Well, that's fine.

"So far, you haven't solved your misunderstanding yet, miss."

"Yes, it's not the right time in the morning, and I was wondering if I could see you if it's evening buying time, but I accidentally submitted a demon crusade site to the desk earlier."

"Damn, that was an accident!

"It's not funny. Yikes!

Damn it, think it's HR.

"Don't worry, I'll vouch for you!

"Are you sure?!?"

"Oh, this still makes me a well-known adventurer in Hexi town. If I vouch for her, she'll trust you too!

Wow! What a good man!

I knew adventurers were all dependable people!

"Well, we're looking after you, too! That's not a big deal!

Good - this is going to solve Mr. Liliera's misunderstanding soon, too.

I knew you didn't feel good about staying mistaken.

"Still, Mr. Liliera, you're late. It's already dark out there."

"Uh, maybe I'll stay in the woods. You can spend the night in the woods. No, I can do it in the street square now, so don't worry about it! No, it's really convenient!

The other adventurers laugh.

Everybody's fine.

"Is that it? But the ladies have definitely been saying we're going to the back of the woods for two days."

And that's when another table of adventurers spoke to us.

"Huh? Really?

"Oh, find some Zenso grass when you can't do it a little bit and get in the back. I talked to my buddies and they said it was worth it when I couldn't make it to the back of the woods, and I heard on the sword screen where the lady found it."

"Well, Zenso grass. You found a rare herb."

When I say Zenso grass, is it definitely a herb that can be used for ingredients in highly challenging medicines?

What kind of sick medicine was that?

I never thought we'd have a street through the woods the day after we came back from the woods.

"No, you surprised me! If I came into the woods today, I'd be able to make my way to the back of the woods! haha."

Apparently these people were searching until just before I made my way into the woods.

"So Mr. Liliera is still in the woods?

"No, it's time to come back. You suck. There's a limit to the amount of luggage you can bring in while fighting demons in that forest, and most importantly, there are demons out there that ignore the boundaries and strike you. The demons around the corner where we got Zenso grass were pretty strong, just in case the demons got weaker, we went back to camping and then came back."

Wow, I'm getting a kind of bad feeling about this.

"What distance is it from town that you found the herb?

"About two and a half days northeast in the woods."

"There are no streets nearby either. Too far off the streets by chance."

Mr. Ivan retrieves the map and points to where Mr. Liliera and the others would be.

Is the line on the map the street I built?

"What shall we do? Wouldn't it be better if we went looking?

"No, it's already dark out there. If we were in the process of coming back over there, we'd just be shipwrecked at worst. Don't take a sweet look at the size of the Warcraft Forest."

"The Forest of Warcraft is the enemy of everything around it. Unlike the normal woods, the dangers of the night jump to different digits."

"And the ladies are B-rank adventurers, too. You won't be impotent, and even if you die from it, that's what the adventurer's ready for."

Mr. Ivan and the others stopped me from entering the woods at night.

"It was immature to be impotent. Think of your own safety first, then act."

Um, my ear hurts. Is this the mindset of a first-rate adventurer?

"... ok. If Mr. Liliera doesn't come back, he won't move until morning."

That's right, Mr. Liliera is also a B-rank adventurer.

Besides, you've been an adventurer longer than I have, so I'm sure you won't be impotent.

Let's trust her now.

"That's right, that's fine. Well, maybe we'll join the search!... for a fee!

"It's paying! Sequoia!

"Shut up! I'm a professional adventurer here! If you look sweet, you can get rid of it!

Mr. Ivan is making fun of everyone for saying evil things.

But you said you'd help me with the search, so you're all really worried about me.

Good people after all.

But then, all of a sudden, the door of the guild opens to knock, and everyone inside looks at the entrance.

It was the worn-out adventurers who came in.

Everyone is bleeding and the equipment is turning bright red.

"Are you okay?!?"

The adventurers who were right around the corner are moving, doing healing magic and removing gear to make breathing easier.

And the Alliance officials came out, and everyone started checking the situation while treating the injured adventurers.

"What happened!?"

"also, when I was camping with ties in the woods, I was attacked by a herd of bladewolves..."

"Even Blade Wolf!? A Rank Demon!

The adventurers get nervous.

Bladewolf, there's definitely a blade-shaped bone sticking out of your body, and that's the name of the demon that rips people apart and attacks them.

That bone was as hard as a real sword and should have been very dangerous if it had been attacked in a group.

"Where did you get out?!?"

"It's about a day from the woods. I was camping and suddenly he attacked me..."

"A day's distance!? Never heard of a blade wolf around there!?"

"Maybe it came from behind the woods"

"Well, that's not all... I've never seen a black blade-wolf before."

"Black Blade Wolf!?"

"Oh, he was directing Bladewolf"

Black blade wolf, but was there such a monster?

"Probably a mutant species. Because mutant species have different patterns of behavior than normal demons."

"But when it becomes a mutant, it will probably be the top demon in the A-rank as well. Isn't it worth the worst S-rank?!?"

"This could be a special crusade request."

"Are you asking for a special crusade?

Necklaced by an unfamiliar word, I ask Mr. Ivan a question.

"Oh, a special crusade request is a top priority request issued by the Alliance when damage is done to the town or a demon appears so dangerous that an adventurer can't work on the land."

Heh, that's what I have.

"When this request occurs, no more than the C-rank will be accepted in the relevant region, and no more than the minimum B-rank will be able to undertake work other than that requested for the special crusade. That's why it's so high priority."

"Exactly!

That's when Rin's voice was uttered enough to echo within the guild.

This is Milisha, assistant guild chief.

"We will issue a special crusade request at this time. Two contents, Blade Wolf Herd and Black Blade Wolf Crusade. And until the crusade, it's a street escort for the Warcraft Forest!

Mr. Millisha's declaration is annoyed by the guild.

"This is not a good time to issue a request."

Other adventurers snort at Mr. Ivan's words.

"Normally, we gather executives to issue a special crusade request as a result of a meeting after the next day. But this case is one near the street that has just begun to open. Given its urgency, the Alliance Commander gave us an immediate call."

"As long as the freshly opened streets are no longer usable because of A-rank demons, the money making story will be pretended. Then push the danger, but would it be better to crusade?"

"Is that what it is?

I think we should just escort the streets still during the night, because night activities are dangerous.

"If the merchants who are camping in the streets are attacked by a herd of blade wolves, it turns out this road is dangerous and there are fewer merchants who use the streets. That's why I crusaded the demons of the cause early on. The point is, this road is safe, and we're making track records."

"In this request, 150 gold coins per blade wolf and 600 gold coins will be rewarded for crusading mutant species and bumpy black blade wolves!

"Oh, that's not bad! 1.5x the usual purchase price!

"Really? As for the amount, the B-ranked Evilbor is more expensive to buy."

"No, because the size of a blade wolf is a normal wolf size. Strong for strong, but easier than Evilbor if you want to defeat one head. It's just that they have a lot of herds. It's too tight to deal with them all. That's not a good purchase price for EVIL BORE, is it?

Are the numbers so different?

But Evilbore moves in a few herds, too, right?

"How many herds is Bladewolf?

"Right, roughly around 50 heads. It would be troublesome if B-rank-equivalent demons were to be found on their own. So this time it looks like we're going to summon all the guild adventurers and hunt them all at once."

Wow, is it about 10 times the number of Evilbore?

You're an A-rank demon because you assume you'll encounter it in the herd.

He's definitely a pain in the ass.

"And it's also a question of how strong the mutant species are. The intensity of the mutant species varies from individual to individual, and the information of the past is very useful."

Indeed, mutant demons change their abilities dramatically, even if they look the same.

And it's almost certainly stronger than normal demons, so it's bad in nature.

"Then wait for the demon to appear while escorting you in the street square?

"No, you should look repeatedly for exploratory magic at a distance that doesn't lose sight of the street. It's better than usual."

"Then why don't you join us? There's a magic explorer here, too."

The adventurers have just begun an operational meeting.

"What about us? I just finished my job."

In the meantime, Mr. Ivan and his team didn't seem interested in requesting a special crusade.

"Is that it? Aren't the Ivans going?

"Oh, we've just finished our job and we're all tired. Being greedy doesn't mean you're busy because the rewards are good. And I don't know if they'll crusade soon enough. Get some rest today, it's not too late to start moving tomorrow."

So far, that's Mr. Ivan.

We have a good understanding of our current situation without being flushed by ambient air.

On closer inspection, several other parties did not panic to eat.

I'm sure it's the same idea as Mr. Ivan and the others.

"I worked today, too, and I'll think about it tomorrow."

That's when I thought, I heard the adventurer in charge whine the words on the guild's staff.

"Please, help Liliera. She's still in the woods."

"Mr. Liliera!?"

I go under the adventurer in surprise.

"What's wrong with Mr. Liliera?!?"

"Liliella got hurt when Bladewolf suddenly showed up, so she could get away with it."

Oh, my God. I can't believe Mr. Liliera was running late.

"But if you think about the time to go back, it was two days ago, right? It's too late for anything."

"But there is a chance that the junction stone will survive..."

"No, you've been attacking me ignoring the monk's boundaries, haven't you? Then wouldn't it be useless to tie the line?

The adventurers spoken out that Mr. Liliera's safety would be despair.

I haven't even solved that misunderstanding yet...

"I have to go help!

"Hey, wait, wait, it's dangerous to go into the woods now!

Mr. Ivan grabs my shoulder and stops.

"But we have to hurry, Mr. Liliera!

"That's why there's someone in there alone! How big a forest you think you are!

"But I don't even have company to party with..."

Then Mr. Ivan laughs nicely.

"We're here!

"Huh!?"

"Oh, you guys, you heard me! Liliera's lady's been left in the woods covered in company! So if you find a lady, protect her!

"Ouch!

"Leave it to me!

"Shh, let's go too"

"Right."

When Ivan spoke up, not only the adventurers who were about to go on a crusade, but also the adventurers who were watching how things were going, began to get up.

"Gentlemen..."

"Well, not every adventurer is one of us. We'll have each other in trouble."

"And now it's time to make money! It won't take long to find the lady!

"You're not cute even when your old man is dere!

"Ugh!

"" "" "Ha-ha-ha" ""

Each one of them takes his weapon and begins to check his gear. I'm about to cry to the adventurers unexpectedly.

It's like the story of the adventurers in the story itself, and my eyes are getting hot by accident.

"All right, we're leaving, too. You guys restore your magic potion!

"Uh, that's seriously disgusting."

"Don't say luxury!

If Mr. Ivan's fellow wizards have no choice, they take the magic potion out of their luggage and drink it up.

"Uh, yummy!

"All right, let's go, you guys! Lex, come with us!

"Yes!"

Wait for me, Mr. Liliera!

"We're going straight through the woods from here. Don't forget to leave the luminescent stones so you don't forget the way."

We've been down the street all the way, and we're going into the woods from there.

The luminescent stone that Mr. Ivan said is a stone that glows for some time when it can be magical.

They use it when searching for unexplored ruins or something, but I've never actually seen it used.

"Straight through! Ignore anything but a stand-up demon!

"Yes!"

Under Mr. Ivan's orders, we run out.

I don't use pine lights when traveling.

Because if demons attack you, you risk losing the light.

Instead, the wizard put the magic of lights on all his weapons and shields.

I can't get my hands blocked with pine light.

"Grwung!!"

I hear the roar of the beast.

"Blade Wolf!?"

"No, it's not, that's the roar of the AugaBear now!

Two orgabears represent themselves, along with the words of the bandit at the party.

"Whoa! It's a connection! He is a tireless mass of health. Besides, the fur is thick and the battle axe doesn't scratch properly! And if it does, it's gonna come down to you looking for nourishment to have a baby! It's a waste of time for a decent opponent, magically blind!

"Okay."

"No, it's a waste of time. I'll take care of it."

"Huh?"

When I activate the physical enhancement magic, I jump in between the AugaBear connections at once.

He didn't think we were going to jump into the middle of our own, and the Augabears are confused and stop moving.

"Ha!"

I wield my sword in a spin with magic on it. [M]

"Vacuum Blade!!"

A vacuum occurs around the sword, and the surrounding air drags it to pull the giants of the orgabears, drawn to be sucked into the sword.

"Ha!!"

I cut the orgabears horizontally as they rotate from left to right.

A faulty vacuum wrapped around the sword easily tore Augabear's body apart.

The trap and killer plants that were nearby were also disconnected.

"It's over! Let's go!!"

"Oh, wow."

I took the lead and resumed Liliera's search. [M]

"If he was here, we wouldn't need him, would we?

For some reason, you're all nodding.

No, that's not true, gentlemen.
