A group of unfamiliar people were fighting the ants to death as they took their feet from the settlement of Gnome to where Massal was breeding the ants.
The number of ants fed a lot of food was considerably increasing, partly because Masal had not been here for some time, and a group of fatigue was clearly on the verge of its limit. A shield man has two swordsmen, an axe-wielding heavy warrior, a female mace in light armor, and a shooter woman desperately wields a short sword whether an arrow is ripped and someone's spare object.
"We are not enemies! Join. Please all step back when you think you can get down there.
When you jump into the antenna, you cut off the articulated part of the antenna and become incapacitated with the sword you put out of the item box. It is not so dangerous for Massal in the work that has been repeated many times.
After a while, while I was concerned about this one, I saw a group retreating, retrieving the remains of the ants.
"Look, it's rice ~"
With that said, he sprinkles the carcasses of demons that are not suitable or material for the edibles of those he gets during his march with the Zags and gathers the attention of the ants there before dispersing.
"You did run away this way, didn't you?
It seems to have gone in the direction, but it seems to have gone into the woods and cannot capture its appearance.
"Shit... even though I say I'm not good at tracking or anything...
No matter what the wind direction and smell was for the Masaru who lived in modern Japan or what the footprints were, even though it was understandable at first, it did not develop into technology. The current Massal is............
"I don't know... if you're hiding out there, there's really nothing I can do about it...
When you say you've come in to help, but entirely from them, Massal is only an unidentified person, and if you're vigilant and your opponent is hiding from you, you have no hands or feet on unskilled Massal.
"I guess I'll just have to take the time… fortunately, given the distance limits, the range I'll be looking for won't be that wide.
About an hour after I started looking... I ended up trying to get home from the trail.
"Khaaaaah!
A woman screamed unexpectedly nearby.
"Over there! They're totally hidden and attacked by other creatures. Seriously, they're unlucky...
When I rushed, the group had been attacked by four wind-cut quails. At its feet, there are wooden rings, and it can be seen that Vintaria is an individual who has returned to the field because of too many in the past. Wind-cut quails are comparatively easy to raise, and they have a warm personality but are originally demons… when they meet hostile objects, they thrust fast enough to cut the wind as the name suggests.
"Here! You guys, get away from those people!
Did you still remember Masaru in that one word, the quails who come to Masaru's feet? A bunch of people watching it without breaking their guard.
"I'm sorry... they were originally kept in the city, but they were overbred and returned to the wild.... Hey! Where are you! Here, he said there's no food there...
I take the food out of the item box and feed it to the quails in the hand that I turned behind my body.
"Who are you?
The shooter woman finally speaks up.
"I think that's a dialogue over here... he even put up a sign saying 'There's a demon nest. Don't come near it. Don't go near it' in the sense that he said don't come near it because he uses it for ant breeding grounds around there... haven't you seen it?
"I saw it... think it's a lie to keep people away from us...
There are more than 10 handcrafted signs around the nest of ants complaining about the dangers, but they don't seem to have been received literally.
"Oh, are you hiding something good? What... so you were dying? Your life is important... and you're hurt, aren't you? I'll treat you. Put down your weapon.
"Treatment...... you will?
"Oh, you're not gonna help me or look for me if you leave me alone, are you?
"Are we leftovers?
"I live in this neighborhood now, but I'm an extra person. Look, come on! I want to travel to the settlement before dark, so show me your injuries.
"We can't go to the settlement...
"That's after the treatment, don't make me say it again and again! Show me the scratches.
I finally put my weapon down. I'm going to check one wound at a time on them and treat them magically… no one was hurt too badly, but rather as much as I was concerned about fatigue and body odor.
"You guys... what time was the last time you went to water or took a bath?
"Uh......... maybe more than 10 days ago. Stinking after all?"
"Oh, quite.
In an honest response, the two women give a seriously depressed look.
"For once I ask, it's not a bandit or anything, is it?
"... we are the adventurers of Bazelarca. Ex, though. Wang Du was attacked by demons and ran away from the battle... they must be after him by now.
"No way... did you come all the way from that king's capital? You're in total luck, you guys.
"He said he was lucky! How terrible you think we've been!
It was the swordsman man who yelled.
"No, it was a bad way of saying it. You are neither arranged nor pursued. That's for sure, too.
"How can you say that?
"That's because I went to the king's capital of Bazelarka after that incident. It's hard to say, but the king capital of Bazelarka... has been wiped out. All the creatures that haven't escaped outside when they were attacked. Now the place where the King's Capital was located is further ground.
"...... no.
"Now the fleeing residents are fleeing to other cities and so on to think about rebuilding. In part, it also confirms the survival of royalties entitled to inheritance.
"You had someone who survived!?
"From now on, I think you're free to live. Don't you dare come to the Gnomes' settlement? Why don't you wash your body and gear and eat something refreshing and delicious at their place first? You're pretty tired, aren't you?
"Norm's? Isn't this the Greitas kingdom?
"The kingdom of Greitas is falling out. This is where the administration of the country is not at the moment. The Kingdom of Greitas and I have been talking and are now in a cooperative relationship.
They had a little talk with Boso, but a word from the shooter woman moved them.
"Hey, I... I'm tired already. I don't know if this story is true, but I'd like to take a break...
"...... right.... If I can't do this any more, someone might die, and I'll curse his suggestion here.
Thus Massal returned to the settlement of Nome with a group of adventurers.
