Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha

It's fine for now that I was able to defeat the pig ghost Orc, but that's not the end of the job.

If we're just collecting demon stones, we'll have to keep judging them properly and pull them out of the side of our hearts, but the request I received is for the delivery of the pig ghost Oak.

More strictly speaking, it is not a request for the delivery of the demon stone of the pig ghost Orc, but a request for the delivery of its meat.

Of course, its use is to use it as meat.

There are a variety of creatures suitable for meat use, which are relatively inexpensive because pigs, cattle and chickens are typical and they do not have much magic and are therefore less dangerous than demons and are produced as livestock.

It is a very useful animal for people, whose flavour is also quite delicious and can also taste superb if it takes effort and ingenuity to feed.

But rather than such meat, it is the meat of the pig ghost Oak that is considered a luxury product.

There are many reasons for this, but the easiest reason to understand would be simply to taste good.

The pig ghost Oak is often mistaken for being a muscular demon, which is likely to taste muscular, but that's not true.

Because the muscles of the pig ghost Oak are maintained by magic, and its flesh regains its original softness, as it loses its life and its magic spreads.

Its flavour is so sweet and flavourful that it far surpasses the finest pork, and once eaten, it is not likely to cheat on other meats.

Pork ghost "Oak" meat with that much flavor, but not so much out in the city because there are few adventurers who can come hunting pig ghost "Oak" in the first place.

Not enough to hunt pig ghost "oak" meat to cover consumption across at least one city on a regular basis.

At best, its extent is as limited as climbing a bourgeoisie or aristocratic table.

It's also rare and quite expensive.

In other words, it was a monster with a huge selling profit and if it could be defeated, it would be gold there.

I approach the fallen pig ghost Orc, such a golden tree, and first I slit its neck.

Then blood erupted from it.

This, combined with the blood coming out of your chest, will put an end to the bleeding relatively quickly.

In the meantime, I'm on guard.

Because it's a problem for other demons to show up and be attacked.

Fortunately, the demon never shows up and the blood drain is complete.

Then, identify the required areas, cut them and wrap them in large leaves for each area.

This leaf is a plant leaf called maltohonoki that grows in the woods around the city malt and is a treasure for wrapping food.

I carry this with me all the time.

Adventurers have a variety of essential containers, including bottles for collecting slime fluids, and this is also one of them.

The areas to be cut are mainly loins and fins, roses and momomos.

I'd love to take everything together anyway, but my bag has a small capacity and I can't do that.

It's the mountain of Sekiyama that cuts and penetrates commonly used areas and a bit of the area I want to eat - the heart, the liver, and the pig's feet.

This can still be quite a bit of money, and if you keep it firmly dismantled from the start, you can wholesale it directly to the butcher, so you can make money even if you have hunted more than you were asked for in the request.

In the request, it was stated that there was no site designation, about three pig ghosts "oak" for the quantity, but even if I took more than that, it would not be wasted, so in the sense of saying so, it has advantages over taking it as it is.

Well, even if you take it as it is, the Adventurers Union (Guild) will represent you in demolition or rent you a demolition room, so it is the truth that you should still take it as it is, but there is nothing you can do about it.

Finish dismantling and throw around for the rest of the chopped pig ghost Oak.

Even so, the inside of the labyrinth is a strange thing, disappearing at some point.

Sometimes it feeds on other demons living in the labyrinth, and sometimes the labyrinth itself absorbs it.

I don't know which one this pig ghost Orc will be treated as, but leaving it unattended will not be a nuisance to other adventurers, and it will be used effectively as a resource.

- Okay, next time.

I walk out of here thinking so.

The request for the pig ghost Orc is not one, but three.

If we don't defeat two more, we won't be able to complete the request.

There is something quite harsh about that battle again, when they say, but I feel I was able to absorb more power than usual in earlier battles.

The next battle will be easier.

I wander the labyrinth in search of the pig ghost Orc...

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Hold on, I'm done collecting three pieces of pork ghost "oak" meat as requested, so I'm walking up the stairs to see if I can get back to today.

The demons strike back quite a bit, but without going too far in the hierarchy where the pig ghost Oak emerges, he fought around the stairs and returned as soon as the norm was over, so only slime and goblins were available, which made it relatively easy to move on.

So much so that I could even afford to open the Map of Acacia I got from that unsure woman.

Exactly, I still don't have the courage to be alone looking at blurry maps in a hierarchy where I don't know when the pig ghost Oak will show up.

If you have company to keep an eye on your surroundings, it's another story, but I don't have anything like that.

The map only opens when it's so safe or when you really don't know the way.

On the open map, through magic, the journey I have made is well marked, I think it's convenient after all.

He said that even though he would strive to fill as many gaps in the map as he could by taking a different path from going home, this "Labyrinth of the Crescent Moon" was still vast and would not fill everything so easily.

If we don't fill it all up. Um, we can't seem to take advantage of the ability to figure out where and who, so it could be tough if it's a big labyrinth.

Well, it's nothing. It's not usually a problem if you don't know who or where. Normally.

When it becomes a problem, it will be quite a topic of discussion, and when it does, it will be something to think about.

Walking in the labyrinth, you hear, uh, fighting in your ears.

In this case, when it comes to the right thing to do, it's for each person.

Some people say it's manners to avoid insignificance, while others say it's right to look at things once and help if the situation seems tough.

Because there is a difference between preference and ethics, it is not absolutely right to do so.

I don't know, as you can tell from Lina's case, he's the one who goes to see how things are going for now.

For that reason, I decided to go to the scene without making any noise.

Then there were two adventurers there who fought hard against Goblin and Slime.

From the standpoint, it would be the lower tier of the iron or copper.

I would be about fifteen or six years old.

So when it is that arm, there is splendour.

One was a swordsman boy and the other was a girl thinking she was probably a healer.

The boy fights better in front, and I see the girl doing more auxiliary sorcery from behind.

From what I see now, it's a way of fighting where I feel pretty dangerous, but it still seemed to have the strength to be problem-free to the extent of goblins.

The problem is slime......

With that in mind, the girl struck out more of a fire bullet toward the slime.

It is one of the lower-level offensive magic tricks that people can easily wear if they have the talent to be magicians.

Unfortunately, as far as witchcraft is concerned, I can only use strength and shield witchcraft. I can't use such attack witchcraft, but that girl must have learned and worn it well.

Slime is a demon that is vulnerable to non-physical attacks, such as witchcraft, and can be defeated with a single blow, even if it is to that extent witchcraft.

In fact, at the same time that the girl's witchcraft was hit, the slime was burned down and only the demonic stone was dropped and disappeared.

Goblins are also defeated by the boy almost simultaneously with it.

- You don't seem to have a problem.

Confirming that, I will turn my heels back from the spot and continue on the road to the entrance.

"... oops, excuse me"

Along the way, I left the labyrinth and finished my labyrinth search for the day, delighted that I was able to make a difference without any problems, without encountering any other adventurers or mentioning my looks in particular.
