"Dear Ars, Byte, I see the mine of destination. Over there."
"You're pretty much in the back of the mountain. Do we need to think about making the road easier to carry the iron taken from the mine? We need to see what other paths there are for the ones who are used to the mountains."
"You're feeling fast, Ars. Let's take down the demon first."
"You did, brother Byte. It just leads to alarm when you think about things not very far ahead of you now. I'll be careful."
"Whoa, be careful. So, about the demon, but you heard the proper explanation, right?
"Of course. But I just thought it was a strong demon that my part-time brother was going to speak to me. Strength wasn't your problem."
"That's right. It's no big deal when it comes to strength. Even the Baltic knights can win. but I was putting it behind me because it was a hassle. There's something else I've been doing."
"I guess so. This is troublesome. I didn't think they were human demons."
"Oh, this time, it was the dogs who lived in the mine pit. My body is only about 1m tall, even if it's big, but it's a monster like a dog walking on two legs. The trouble with them is that they work together."
"A man-shaped demon with characteristics like a dog walking on two legs, handling spears and bows with his hands for collective action,? A dog man approaching with a weapon in a narrow, dark pit. It doesn't matter what you think."
"They're processing stones and iron falling in the pit and using it as a weapon. Besides, even in the dark, the opponent seems to be clearly blind, and his nose is clever. It's hard to get my hands on because they're after me when I'm turning out the [lighting] light."
He was on his way to a mine where iron could be taken with the Baltic Knights man, starting with his Bite brother.
And I finally got close to it.
So I listen to my part-time brother about the demon that he once again lived in the mine.
Apparently, it wasn't the one strong demon who lived in the mine.
On the other hand, the demon, not so strong one by one, but a troublesome dog man to deal with, has settled in a herd.
A demon named Dog Man, that seems to be like a cobolt coming out of a fantasy story.
A two-legged walking creature with a dog's face with dark body hair, such as black, on a small body.
Such a dog man said he lived in the mine.
It was troublesome being attacked in the dark using a sense of smell before, etc., but it is the magic the dogs have that makes it even harder to deal with, he said.
The magic was a little like my magic.
The dog man says he has magic that can change the shape of iron or something if it's the size that can be gripped with those little hands.
In other words, dogs living in mines can pick up iron and other things and hold them in their hands to make them materials for spears and bows and arrows.
By the way, it seems that eating is an animal such as a goat that lives outside the mine.
Build a weapon in a mine, go hunting outside it, and take your prey home and eat it.
Besides, they say it's done in a herd.
What a highly social demon I thought it was.
"I can't help it. I'll have to make sure the mine works somehow. Just do it."
Thus, I began the exorcism of the dogs who lived in the mine.
"All right, let's just get into the pit, Ars. The dog man seems to be settling in a slightly wider area behind the pit. But that's just the last time I checked, and then maybe I'm expanding my habitat. We're going to make sure."
"Huh? Are you going inside the pit, brother Bite?
"You bet. What are you talking about, Ars? Didn't you come here to exorcise the demons? No way, did you notice the scare?
"No, that's not what I... I heard that the dogs live in this pit, but the food is for the goats out there or something, right? What do you mean, you're not coming out of the other side?
"That's right, but I don't even know when it's coming out. You'd better go take him down from here than wait all the time."
"You said you were going to take him down, what are you going to do, Bite brother? No way, are you going to fight by swinging your weapon inside this narrow pit?
"... if you can't shake a weapon, you can fight with magic"
"But they attack you in the dark, don't they? There could be some damage."
"But what are you trying to say, you? Doesn't that mean you don't want to go inside after all?"
"That's right. I don't want to go in there. Let's take some more safety precautions than that, brother Bite."
"What, a safety precaution? Doesn't that mean we wait for the dogs to come out and take them down?
"No, let's go safer than that. Let's use poison."
"... what? Poison?
"That's right, brother Byte. We'll hunt the nearby goat and leave the body near the mine's entrance and exit. Inject the poison into the goat's meat. What do you think will happen then?
"... the dogs don't eat their hunted prey on the spot. Take it back to your address and share it with the whole herd to eat."
"That's right. I don't know who checked the information, but if that's the right information, this way the herd of dogs will be destroyed. We had some poisonous grass in the mountains until we got here, so we could use that. You know, it's easy, right?
"... you, the idea sucks. The name of the Holy Knight will cry."
"I hope you say it makes sense. Well, let's just do it this way, brother Byte. You can try some poison and send poisonous smoke into the pit if you can't. Let's get rid of the dogs."
"You'll never die a good way, Ars. But, well, okay. Try it that way."
Apparently, you convinced me of my explanation, Bite Brother.
Just as I thought, I hunted goats in the surrounding mountains, poisoned their flesh and directed the dogs to take them back to their dwellings in the pit.
A dog man who walks on two legs, even makes weapons and collaborates to attack him.
I was also thinking maybe I wouldn't notice this poisonous bait operation and take the goat's body home.
But that didn't happen.
Thanks, you didn't seem that smart.
Thus a flock of dogs who had eaten poisoned meat over the course of a few days were beaten to death by poison.
but it only took a few more days for me to notice the failure that the body was in the pit and that it would take a lot of time to process it.
