"Good morning, Sei!

"Ah, Ira, good morning"

Finally, we leave for the Slime Forest today.

As usual, when I headed to the square, I got a greeting from Ira on the way.

Turning to the voice, I can see him coming this way on a small run.

I stopped, waited for Ira to chase me, and then walked out again.

You're in the same squad today.

"Right."

I smile back at Ira, who looks happy, too.

I've been to the crusade a few times, but this is my first time with Ira, and I'm kind of happy.

This time, all of the court magicians are headed to the Slime Forest to use attack magic.

Besides Holy Attribute Magic, Ira can use Water Attribute Magic and Wind Attribute Magic, so she became the same squad.

"Is Ira joining the attack today?

"Right. I think I'll join you as we see how it goes."

"Watching how it goes?

"It seems that only me and Sai can use Holy Attribute magic, so I plan to be primarily responsible for recovery."

"Is that it? If it's holy attribute magic, can the division chief use it too?

"Seniors say the division chief will probably not participate in the recovery..."

"Uh..."

I was convinced of what Ira said with a bitter smile.

Master, when you went to the forest west of Wang Du, you almost attacked him.

With area based magic, I can be in charge of recovery alone, but then MP consumption is a problem?

After all, Isla and I should be in charge of the recovery.

As I walked thinking that way, I arrived at the square.

Some people head to places other than the Slime Forest in the square, and it's busy to say it's early morning.

It looks like people are gathering at every destination, so Ira and I searched for a place where the same squad of people were gathered.

Looking around, I found a group in robes in the crowd.

These are the court magicians.

Those around there will be the people heading to the Slime Forest.

"Isla, isn't that the neighborhood?

"Oh, right"

Speaking to Ira and pointing her legs at her, I saw Mr. Leo among the knights.

If you look closely, there are some mercenaries.

Is that it?

When I approached him with my neck tilted, Mr. Leo seemed to have found me, too, and raised one hand.

Looking at the motion, it looks like the people on your side noticed this way too.

"" "Good morning, Master Sei!

"Ah, good morning......"

Wow.

I had a perfect voice right now.

The loudness of my voice went hand in hand, and I was a little surprised.

I'm not the only one surprised.

Leo, the mercenaries and Ira, who were on their side, also look surprised.

With a dazzling smile, it would be the Second Knights people who greeted me aloud.

Somehow it's just people who feel like they've seen it.

I'm more concerned about Leo and the others with me than that.

I thought the Knights and the Mercenaries were acting differently...

"Good morning, Mr. Leo"

"Ohh...... Good morning."

"I don't mind the shattered tone. I'd rather be thankful."

Mr. Leo tries to return the usual greeting, notices the gaze from around him, and reword it.

The gaze of the Second Knights became sharper, so the gaze softened somewhat if we did the intercession we had been to before.

"By the way, why are you here?

"We're supposed to be in today."

"Really?

Wondering and listening, Mr. Leo, at the Lord's request, was to accompany our squad.

Originally, the Slime Forest was home to many rare herbs and was the widest collection site in Klausner territory.

Having received reports that such a place was being devastated by slime, the lord decided to send Mr. Leo and the others.

Because it's an important place, you wanted someone who knew the state of the forest before to come and check it as a lord's eye?

It seems that it was last night that Leo and the others decided to join the Knights and the Mercenaries because there were issues such as cooperation.

Leo's hope was that a few mercenaries would follow Leo, and he rubbed it a little, so it was too late to decide.

You could rub it inside the Knights because of who's going to the Slime Forest.

When new personnel are added there, it is not difficult to imagine that they could have been rubbed further.

Good day, Captain.

"Morning, Sai."

"Good morning, Master Sei"

I was talking to Mr. Leo, and the captain of the regiment and the division joined him.

Double the glare when we're together.

I just glanced at you.

Ira said hello to both of them properly aligned, and the division leader looked at Mr. Leo and tilted his neck.

"What about this one?

"This is Mr. Leonhardt, who brings together a mercenary regiment from Klausner territory."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Leonhardt"

"Today they will be accompanied by mercenaries."

Introducing Mr. Leo to the division chief, the chief supplemented his plans for today.

Convinced of the reason why there is an unfamiliar face, the division leader nods gracefully, smiling softly.

"Nice to meet you. This is Yuri Dreves, head of the court magician regiment."

"Huh! Nice to meet you today"

"Yes."

Following a greeting from the division chief, Mr. Leo turned his eyes round.

The mercenaries seem to be in a bit of a hurry, too.

Everyone corrected their posture and solidified in an upright immobilisation.

Could it be because the division chief is a man of considerable superiority in the royal palace?

Is that it? Isn't that what the captain would do?

Is this what your first meeting with the captain was like?

I was wondering, but the question was resolved as soon as the split.

The mercenary groaned when the captain and the division leader left the scene.

"Is that the devil of ashes?"

"Oops."

"The Devil?"

"Oh, keep that to yourself right now."

"What do you mean?

What a noisy name for a demon.

When I was concerned and asked, Mr. Leo told me to dive in his voice so that he could not be heard around him.

Mr. Leo said that the ash devil was meant to be the division leader.

You think you once got those two names because you burned down a neighborhood in a massive demonic crusade?

There are several mercenary groups participating in the crusade, and among the mercenaries, the situation of the division chief at the time has become a story of grass, and he is fearful.

The massive fire attribute magic exercised in front of you and the division leader smiling flashly while illuminated by the flames in a hot scene.

Later what was left was a gray world on one side.

"That's odd to say."

"Right?"

If you think of what is being told, you also know you want to call it a demon.

Even in the West Forest, he made bloody remarks, but didn't exercise them just to speak, because he weighed himself in for once?

The West Forest was safe.

"What's up? Look weird."

"No, I hope you weigh yourself in again this time"

"Self-weight?"

"I hope the woods are safe..."

"Is that a nightmare reproduction? Stop it."

To my remarks, Mr. Leo's expression turned into something bitter.

But, you know, I'm just a little worried.

The western woods, though black marshes occurred, only got more demons and the damage to the woods was not that much.

So it is possible that the division chief had also chosen the magic to use so that there would be no damage to the forest.

In contrast, the Slime Forest, whatever is in front of it, has many trees in the back that have been withered by the Slime, without the body of the forest.

When I saw it, I had a little anxiety that the division chief would use magic without weighing himself, even though he was already out of the woods.

I agree with Mr Leo that he wants us to stop reproducing nightmares.

No matter how much slime damage says the forest is almost devastated, I want to spare you any further damage.

Even for medicinal herbs that may remain painfully.

We plan to take the same carriage to Slime Forest as the division chief.

Let's ask the division leader to weigh himself in the carriage.

Let's do that.

When I heard disturbing stories from Mr. Leo, my determination also turned to the carriage anew.
