The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

"The quest of the day is the extermination of demons appearing in nearby villages in Straheim. It's basic, but don't lose your mind."

I commissioned today's quest in the Adventurer Alliance yesterday.

Probably thought it was a labyrinth exploration. Everyone has a subtle face.

"It's a weapon for you. You can use whatever you want."

Place the weapon (toy) you just made on the table.

toys, but that would be enough for the students in half servings. Instead, letting them possess advanced weapons poorly can inhibit their growth.

"Hey, this weapon, the magic word (rune) is engraved!!"

Pruitt with a spear discovers a magic word (rune) engraved on his body and shouts.

"Honestly..."

Everyone cheers with one weapon after another.

"The way to use it is simple. Just cage more magic than [1] in a magic bag. So, magic is activated on its own."

I made it a friendly setting so that it could be activated on something less magical for once.

"This weapon..."

"I should have said it. That's your weapon now. Don't worry. I'll build you a better weapon if your training goes on."

But only if I succeed in the development.

"Don't worry..."

These are students who react strangely.

Fine. I'm pushing for time too. Shit, let's head to Quest City - [Accord].

The students were encouraged and transferred to Straheim.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Hey, that wasn't before, was it?

to Pruitt's simple questionable words,

"Ugh, yeah. There shouldn't be."

Eight replies confidently somewhere.

"Maybe that was the teacher's fault too?

Even as he looked at me with his jitsu eyes, Mia said such bad things to people.

"No, no way in a boulder..."

Cliff's words of denial did not last until the end,

"That's right. You can't make such a magical weapon."

Teresa nodding over and over again.

What the students call that (...) is a shining tower to the south of the tower.

To tell you the truth, I just found out I have one of those.

"Hey, Doctor, is that Doctor's fault?

"There's no way! What do you think I am!"

Well, as a matter of fact, that tower would be a second trial, and I can't say that my act caused it.

"That's right. No matter how insane your teacher is, it's not that far."

"Yeah, I am. The teacher is a stranger himself, but he's not that weird."

"I think you guys appreciate it, but I agree."

These guys, you can say whatever you want. Honestly, I had a good student! Of course this is ironic.

"I didn't say anything stupid, it's going to be a fight today. Now get some rest."

When I'm forced to change the subject, I lie down in the carriage.

About five hours later at 1 pm I finally arrived in Quest City - [Accord].

"First, go to the inn and put your stuff away. After that, we'll head to the mayor's house and ask for more details about the quest. If we can just get it all done, we'll be free to move later. Sightseeing, rest, whatever you want."

This [Accord] is a small city with a population of 1,500, but it also has a lot of nature and would be great for tourism. Well, I hope it only ends smoothly.

"Okay, man."

When Pruitt gave his consent and jumped off the carriage, the students began to unload their luggage.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

Right now, I'm just hearing about Quest from my client, the mayor, at the mayor's house.

"Well, will the livestock be attacked? What do you guys think?

Organize your information.

In a suburban ranch, recently, in the morning, several horny pigs and stray birds, the livestock of farmers, are frequently attacked.

The western side of [Accord] had become a deep forest and a swarm of demons. So it is a natural idea, given their circumstances, to determine that such anomalies are being made by the hands of demons.

"The number of livestock sacrificed at once is only one or two, and there doesn't seem to be any signs of vandalism on the spot. Maybe it's more like a burglary or burglary than a demon."

Cliff puts his hand on his chin and responds. It's a good place to go.

"Right. If it's a demon, it's probably one or two, and stealing it every day is a weird story."

Pruitt also agrees with Cliff.

"So, first of all, it's listening, right?"

"Well, let's go ♥"

Everyone lifts their hips from their seats to Theresa's words as if they were going on an excursion.

"Um..."

to the mayor, who looks anxiously at me,

"Don't worry about it. They look terribly unfortunate, but they are quite usable."

Strengthen your tone and I'll cover you.

"The exterior doesn't just want the master to tell you"

Ignoring such a murky penetration, urging the students and greeting the mayor, we launched our first outdoor quest.

"Every night, there's no livestock from the ranch here?

"Huh. Once a few days, I notice a few missing in the morning."

To Mia's hearing, the rancher's middle-aged man nodded heavily with a strange face.

"But from what I saw, the fence wasn't broken anywhere."

When Pruitt completes the investigation around the fence, he comes here and reports it.

"Then you're not like a wild dog, are you? A wild dog would have broken into one of these fences."

"So, what kind of burglary is it?

"No, not necessarily. Number one, just a thief, you think you can climb that high fence with a giant horn hog?

"Hmm, sure."

There are several conditions for the killer.

The first is that it is such that it can be put in without breaking the fence it is surrounding. In other words, someone who can get over that high fence. This is possible if you are an intelligent level demon or a flying capable demon.

Second, every time, for the night. Besides, only one or two of them are attacked.

If you're a weak demon of reason, you should be targeted first by a dozen at a time.

Some speculation comes from these, but this time, I'm just a bystander. Wherever possible, you shouldn't be talking.

"I'm not leaving the realm of speculation as it is, and I think it would be best to actually see it here this evening, don't you think?

Eight looks around at everyone gleefully and makes suggestions. Eight's got a lot of time to make his point. That would mean I'm familiar with class G.

"Well, I guess I'll have to."

Chris hammered,

"I agree with you ~"

"Me, too."

Mia, too.

Eight gently pulls his jaw,

"Rancher. Do you mind if we stay and investigate this place tonight?

Ask the rancher.

"Also, of course! As it is, the night is horrible and I can't sleep. Please, thank you. Please!

I guess I haven't been able to sleep in Loc since the incident.

"Well, let's set up an operation for this evening"

"Whoa!"

Everyone nods and the debate begins.

◇◆◇◆◇◆

The night was also completely deepened. The clock is already turning around ten o'clock this afternoon. We sat in the shadows and watched the ranch at night.

"Really, this evening, are you coming?

With a huge abduction, Teresa squeaks the question everyone has in their head right now.

"There's been no damage in the last two days, and it's supposed to be this evening in time..."

Mouthful Eight. Sure, the tiredness of the students is at its peak.

"Um, we can't help it if we're all awake. We'll take turns getting some sleep."

"Well, me, first of all! You can all go to sleep first."

Teresa lifts her right hand vigorously and everyone exhales loudly. Because, of course, I know I won't ask her once she says it out.

As always, she's my poor daughter. Most of these days, I've been lurking.

"Hey Doctor..."

"Hmm?"

When everyone was asleep, Teresa, sitting next to her, suddenly called out with a rare and magical face for her.

Could she also talk to me?

I'm going to make out with you.

Matchmaking. Teresa is now sixteen years old, and the aristocracy is as common as getting engaged early in the pageant.

"Um, speaking of congratulations... you don't look good"

From her open-minded personality, if she's positively capturing the pageant, she'll be making a public statement about it.

"Yeah, it's all his fault, too."

"That guy?"

"Yeah. Your father introduced me once. Maybe that was my first pageant."

Daikanya, did you feel bad about the pageant, being disrespectful or being taken? So, from her personality like cracked bamboo, it would be pretty hard to laugh and put up with. Isn't it any wonder that you have a sinister attitude?

"Hmm, so?

"Really, I'm a big part of younger people, and I try to take care of a lot of things, and like your father, I don't know a thing about women's hearts..."

"You didn't like him, did you?

"Yeah."

Surprisingly, Teresa shakes her neck wide left and right.

"So you even turned me down?

"Hmm. That might be a little different, too. I had no choice but to marry him, so..."

"You said you were angry?

"Yeah. I snapped my cheek"

Oh, well. That's deadly. From what I hear, Teresa is no match for that matchmaker either. But did they hate you? Surely this is deeply rooted.

"You didn't apologize?

"Yeah, because I realized how I felt, because it was when your father brought me a matchmaking story. Until then, I never wanted to see your face again."

Well, what a difficult situation to make a statement in.

"Ha, not at all, this guy..."

A murmur waves the pattern to the left and right, raising a shrugged voice.

(What the fuck? Is that what you're trying to say?

Speaking to Mullah,

"Especially ahem."

I rarely close my mouth when I answer like that.

"So? In the end, Teresa, what do you want to do?

"Yeah, I don't like matchmaking"

"Then you can say no."

"But they seem to be the ones your father always takes care of."

"You know, you can't be mad that the Count said no to one of your matches."

"I'm willing to get engaged because it's not your father, it's your mother"

Uh, I see. As a mother, you do want to be accompanied by someone who can hold this mother-in-law's reins.

"Well, you should also exchange your wife and discuss it with the Count. He would definitely give Teresa the best solution."

Because of Theresa's character, you won't be able to accompany her with an unhappy opponent until you kill yourself, and the Count will forgive you for that.

Then the rest is about Teresa and her family, and it's not about me mouthing any more.

"Hey, is the teacher familiar with your father?

Surprisingly, Teresa listens to facts that are out of the ordinary and inconvenient for me.

Not good. We talked a little too much.

"Sort of."

often stared at me,

"Doctor! There!

Teresa points her finger across the high fence.

"Apparently, there you are. Wake everyone up!

I see a shadow across the fence. Ten, eighty-nine, you'd be a burglar. The thief doesn't look well in the dark, but from the silhouette, he's not an adult's back length.

The dwarf begins to cleverly climb the high fence. And when you finish climbing the fence, you land lightly on the ground.

(Not yet. Slightly more)

Pull down the sleeve of the prute trying to step out.

There's no doubt about the home invasion, but it's not until we actually start stealing.

As the dwarf approaches a relatively small corner hog nearby, he snaps its head with one right hand.

Without screaming one, carrying a lying horny pig, he ties himself to his body and geese with something like a crawl (grunt) that he wanted to brace in his hips.

I see. Oh, so you were carrying it.

Nevertheless, he is no longer just a child because of the power of a pig that easily carries nearly 80 kg, called the arm force that twisted the neck of a pig with one right hand.

But for once, he seems highly intelligent, and responds as a human burglar, but best?

(OK, go!

On my instructions, Pruitt and the others surround the dwarf simultaneously with weapons.

"Hawa..."

dwarf sat on the ground with Petan, looking up at us,

"Higu! Eww! Big Yea!!!"

I started crying out loud.
