The next morning. The Anton siblings left safely.

I've kept my mouth shut that I'm in this village, so I'll be fine.

I similarly kept my mouth shut about the other members of the Brave Party.

I work as a guard, as usual.

Millet and Colette practice magic by their side.

"O Spirit of Fire. Use my magic as food! My name is Millet!

"It's the wind. Do this with all my strength! Mine is Colette!

"Well, well, well, well." "Waffle."

Unchanted activation is for advanced users.

Millet and Colette are chanting the spell so hard. It's elementary magic, so the chanting words are short.

Lined up with the millets, Sigishoara was also ringing hard.

I guess you're going to be chanting. Although the magic is not activated.

Fem is also hanging out with Sigi and barking beside him.

"You're improving fast."

"Really? 'Cause I'm sure you'd better teach Al."

"Old man, Colette talented?

"I think so."

"Yay."

"... aah"

Millet and Colette seem happy.

Sigi, on the other hand, looks a little sad. I guess it's sad because the magic doesn't work.

Femme was gently licking Sigi like that to comfort her.

I can hold a sigi.

"I'm still a baby, so I can't help it."

"Ria."

Sigi hasn't been able to chant in the first place.

Though chanting is not mandatory, chanting without chanting is difficult for beginners.

I think the ancient dragon has its own magic system. I'm afraid I can't teach you that.

"If Sigi wants to practice magic, now you just have to do magic circulation and manipulation"

"Ria."

Millet tilted her neck as she was listening to it.

"Sigi, do you understand the words?

"Hmm. I don't feel like I know." "Huh?

"But it's a baby, isn't it?

"I am, though. Well, you don't have to understand.

"Is that so"

"That's what it is."

Sigi fluttered his feathers in a good mood, so I stroked him.

It was before noon and Luca and Vivi rode home on Morphy.

As a matter of fact, Luca, Vivi and Morphy have been going to check out the basilisk warfare trail since morning.

"Good luck to Luca and Vivi. Especially since Luca's off."

"Nothing's fine. Basilisk is a concern."

"It doesn't matter because I was worried about the woes."

The truth is I wanted to go, too, but I stayed in the sense of defending the village of Murg.

I can't help it because I'm only a guard.

"Zombification and assembly of basilisks is definitely at the hands of someone powerful."

"Traces of magic were still quite powerful."

"Right. I guess I'm still a demon."

"I don't know that. You know you're confident."

"Why?"

"'Cause only in that place, something that wasn't even trying to erase the trace"

That makes me angry. I feel like I'm being molested.

But it's also convenient.

"If there's any trace left, don't go after him."

Loosen up, Luca shakes her head.

"The remaining traces are traces of what you did on the spot. Where it came from, where it went, it was turned off beautifully."

"It's magically the same thing. It's as if suddenly five basilisks appeared on the spot."

"... that's a hassle"

"Not at all."

The fact that you erased every trace means you have a high power.

Probably a demon.

"Was there any characteristic in the zombiization ritual or the magic trail?

"The Zombification Ceremony is more sophisticated and sophisticated than the Demon King's Army Twelve Heavens Curtis. But the pedigree may be the same. Of course, that's the conclusion of a meat study."

"What do you mean the pedigree is the same?

"Hmm. If I were to say so, like an advanced man at the same gate?

"Maybe the demon taught you the art of zombification in the twelfth day?

"There's no denying the possibilities, only the extent."

"Maybe we should interrogate Curtis again."

"Yes, but because I'm already in jail. The transfer and the process will take a little while."

The prison is quite far from the king's capital. The border is in the opposite direction from Murg village.

It would be troublesome if Curtis had been told about zombie technology.

I can't stay alert in the future. Besides, it's harder to attack from here than knowing where it came from.

Next to me talking about that, Fem, Morphy and Sigi were holding their heads together somehow.

It bothers me, so I look sideways.

"Wahoo," "Ha, ha, ha, ha."

"Wahwahhu?" "Ria."

"but ahhhhhhh"

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh"

"Riaaaaaaa"

The only thing that Femme said was a bark with magic on it.

Morphy and Sigi's voice contain no magic. I just barked.

The demon wolves came to see what was going on.

And Vivi fell in awe.

"You surprised me. What's the matter, suddenly?"

"Oh, yeah. I'm not threatening you!

Luca and Vivi protested against Fem.

"I thought I'd teach Shigi how to bark in intimidation."

"Right. Thank you. I'm sorry."

"Wahoo."

In thanksgiving, Fem waves his tail.

But Vivi was angry.

"You can't do that near the village! cows shall be frightened."

"Oh."

Morphy seems sorry.

Vivi would have said something about an ordinary cow other than Morphy.

Morphy wasn't particularly bad at anything, so I stroked him.

The village chief ran from the other side.

I feel sorry for Fem if he gets mad.

"Duh, what's up?

"Mayor, I'm sorry to disturb you. Eh, a fem to get rid of rats and pigs ravaging crops..."

"Ah, oh. I see."

In fact, with the bark now, the approximate rat would have fled far away.

The village chief bows his head to Fem.

"Thank you for everything. Mr. Femme."

"Wahoo."

Unintentionally praised, Femme looks a little bit glowing.

"Mr. Femme, please continue to do this regularly. Because the roughness of rats makes a huge difference in yield."

"Wafufufufu"

"I'll explain it to all the villagers, too. The harvest time is approaching, and I can't help but notice this time of year."

Saying so, the village chief left.

I'll stroke the fem. Femme asks me in the eye if it was a good idea.

"Even though it was meant to teach Sigi, it's good because rats don't run away"

"Wahoo."

"Do you bark every day from now on?

Vivi looks disgusted.

Vivi got used to the demon wolves a lot. Nevertheless, I guess I don't like magical barking.

"From now on, try to teach me before you bark. Especially to Vivi."

"I got it." "That's it." "Already."

"I wish I could."

The Femmes seem to have agreed.

Vivi convinced me too.

Evening. As I was still guarding, the warehouse door opened up in momentum.

Cruz comes out of it. Much faster than usual.

"What's up? Cruz, you're early today."

"Mr. Al, it's tough! Please help me."

Something seemed like an emergency.
