Lowe and the others invited to the researchers' mansion, with their feet intact, had been put through a large room that was near the front door.

"Leave your luggage in this room and go back as soon as you're done."

So the researcher himself went to another room.

... Mr. Woods said it's customary to give it to him at his doorstep...

Has it changed the way it is done?

What an unexpected look.

Or maybe I'm really not interested in anything other than research.

I can't decide which one it is at the moment. I'm thinking,

"... Dear Lowe"

One of the soldiers who was carrying the luggage called out that it was there.

I guess there's no time to be frightened.

"I know. No one's watching you."

Lowe whispered back, just like the soldier,

"[Appraisal Demon Eye...]"

Concentrating his magic on his left eye, he activated the demonic eye.

Moments change the color of the scenery.

Everywhere, it can be seen as a remnant of magic, as a trail, as a color.

Weak magic appears pale, close to white, and strong magic appears dark, black.

... Normal life doesn't have so much magic stuff or places that are stronger than gray...

I don't know, looking at the big room,

「――」

One spot I saw a strong magical reaction.

It exists in such a way as to divide the walls of the large room into squares.

It's just a wall in the ordinary eye, but in the devil's eye, it's one shot.

"... there seems to be a hidden door here. Besides, if it feels like this, it could be the type that opens up if you pass the corresponding magic."

Although I have made some requests for infiltration so far, there have also been these magical-sensitive hidden doors.

If it is the same type, it is also possible to open it.

"... if you can get in, for once, would you like to see it? 」

"Please. I don't mind pressing the blame here."

"Copy that. So..."

Lowe touches the wall in a slow motion.

And slightly, pass magic through the palm of your hand.

Then, that's it.

- Cut.

Some of the walls slide along with the light noise that

The door opened.

Ahead, then, there was a room about smaller than the large room.

And what was in that room was enough light to look over the whole thing and

"... what a feeling you've found something you don't want to find..."

There was a black wolf.

Moreover,

"Be vigilant, Master Lowe. He's a warcraft."

The wolf, as the soldier says, whose whole body is made of a black shadow, clearly emits an unusual magic.

In addition, the wolf, who had an unusual atmosphere, was now bloodstaining his mouth and eating metal sheep.

"Around eating too much metal sheep body hair, it's certainly not a normal wolf"

The wolf is scratching the silver hair of the metal sheep and the meat underneath it, as if it is not in his eyes. But I don't even know when this one will come. So Rowe observes quietly how things are going.

That's where I realized.

... on the neck of the metal sheep, you have a collar attached...

The neck of the metal sheep, which has already eaten about half its body, has a collar with the crest of a trading city.

That means this metal sheep would be something that was originally on a ranch in a trading city.

... basically the officials over there should just buy metal sheeps and not sell them...

That means it's unlikely that I bought it.

Did you steal it or buy it from someone who stole it?

Even if I didn't, I wondered if Davit had found something to do with the request she was receiving.

"Oh, hey, look at that..."

One of the soldiers, shaking his voice, pointed to the back of the room.

There's...

"Is that a human bone..."

There was a skull that was wigged and sprayed everywhere.

Plus, traveler-like clothing.

"You mean I was feeding people to that wolf... is that it? 」

It was when one of the soldiers said those words.

"- I think the bait people who lured me discovered that we had to change this procedure."

A voice echoed from the back of the room with the wolf.

He's a researcher who just disappeared from the big room.

It must have been connected to the other room.

But what was found was no longer an issue.

... because it has already been established that this researcher has left the Warcraft at home without permission...

Therefore, Rowe pursues.

"What is the metal sheep there and the human bone......! 」

There's no way you can answer me if I tell you.

But I said it first as a restraint. Then,

"Although they're both just bait the eagle picked up? What's wrong with that?"

That's what the researchers said, like nothing.

"Bait, is that...? 」

"It's a hassle to strangle that sheep from the ranch. Until I realized it was easier to drag people in and feed them, it took me a while to wash things up. At all, solidification of thoughts is an enemy."

The words changed the faces of the soldiers.

To the look of capturing enemies.

But seeing soldiers like that doesn't change the researcher's complexion.

"... Well, Shadow Wolf. If you don't eat more, she won't have magic. I'm going to feed you."

I gave instructions to the wolf, as if I didn't mind.

Then the wolf, who had eaten metal sheep until earlier, instantly turned his gaze to this one.

A gaze as a warcraft, with killing intentions and hostility.

"Well, I invited you around the corner. I hope you enjoy it."
