The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

"The Demon King's Realm, or investigation into the former Demon King's Realm, for what?

I asked Cruz, smiling innocently.

"We're going to investigate if the Demon King is not back!

"Investigation."

If the Demon King is resurrected, it is right to guard against the former Demon King's realm.

Assuming the Demon King put down a magical cloth stone for resurrection, it would be the former Demon King's realm.

"You haven't traveled with Al lately, have you? I'm looking forward to it."

Cruz is already willing to go to the old demon kingdom.

Luca says calmly to such a cruz.

"Wait a minute."

"What?"

"Cruz, you're not good at investigating."

Luca's point is correct. Cruz is not good at investigating.

"Cruz is surprisingly bad at investigating things."

Yulina says so, but it's nothing unexpected or anything. It remains so.

Anything that knows Cruz knows Cruz isn't good at investigating.

If you take Cruz's first impression survey, you will likely receive a response that you do not like to investigate about 70% of the time.

"Oh, no, that's not true"

Cruz rebuts by turning his face bright red.

"I saw Cerberus hiding, and I did! Plus, I found a big sasori nest!

Cruz has his fingers on him and will make a feat of himself on the way to his adventure.

True, those are what Cruz found. It is also something that the warcraft scientist Luca could not discover.

Given its merits, Cruz may indeed be able to say that he is good at investigating.

I guess that's why Cruz thinks he's good at investigating.

"Cruz, that's not good."

"Oh, that's not true!

Cruz is right if you think normally.

I can't find Cerberus hiding in the shadows of anything or find a nest of great sasoris.

How lucky you are, it turns out.

But the brave Cruz is not normal. I'm basically lucky. Maybe it's because he's an apostle of the Holy God.

Besides, in the case of the brave Cruz, there are too many attempts compared to the average adventurer.

Relying on the brave man's inquiry, penetrating and emptying. That repeat.

Normally, that one failure can be fatal. It will be an unforgettable lesson if you are fortunate enough to survive.

However, in the case of Cruz, I am not particularly aware that I failed because I would trample every trap. I don't even think it's dangerous.

As a result, we have a serious situation as adventurers where we only remember successful experiences.

"Mr. Al! Luca's giving me a terrible argument!

"Ooh. Right."

"Even from Al, say Bishi!

"Yep..."

Trouble. Cruz is trying to get me on his side.

Everyone here knows that Cruz is not good at investigating.

The question is whether the facts should be told or not.

I haven't had any other problems before, so I have the idea that I should just let them think I'm good at it.

If you think about the future, there will also be the idea that you should be taught the truth.

I look at Julina all the time. Yulina looked away slightly.

Yulina can't be counted on.

I have no choice, so I make up my mind.

"Cruz. Let's talk serious"

"Yes!"

Hard to say I can stare at you with glitter eyes.

But this is also the oldest part of a brave party.

"Cruz, do you know what you need to investigate?

"Eh. Intuition."

"You're not. Analytical power to observation, and knowledge."

"Hom?

Cruz tilted his neck.

You don't seem to understand. So I'll explain it carefully.

I don't know what the situation is without a proper analysis of the subject.

If you don't observe the subject closely, you don't know what to analyze.

And it is knowledge that is necessary for both analysis and observation.

Without knowledge, we don't know how the subject is different from usual, and we don't know what the results of the analysis mean.

"I see."

"I can investigate magic remnants, too, but I'm not good at anything else."

"You were!

"That's why Cruz doesn't like investigating either."

"Okay!

Lightly, Cruz admitted he didn't like the investigation.

Very honest. Honesty is virtue. lead to growth.

So I praise you.

"Cruz is honest and great."

"Eh heh."

Luca crushes watching it.

"I'm too honest to be anxious the other way around."

"That's the good part."

Yulina was following with a smile.

I also understand Luca's concerns. Cruz got caught up in the seed imo scam because he was too honest.

"Cruz, we have to be vigilant."

"Yes!"

Cruz seemed happy when I stroked his head.

"By the way, Mr. Al. Why don't you leave the investigation and go see the Demon King's Realm?

"Put it down?

"Yes, because you just have to leave it to someone who's good at it! But I'm wondering what's going on in Demon King's Land."

"Wow, I'm worried about the woes too!

Vivi also says in a forward mood. It's not like I don't care either.

Luca makes a serious face.

"Not the demon kingdom, but the old demon kingdom."

"Either way."

"It's not good. It's a big difference."

"Heh."

Towards Cruz, Luca tells.

"The old demon kingdom isn't stable yet, is it?

"What's wrong with that?"

"Be aware that you are a brave man."

For Cruz, who doesn't understand, Luca explains.

Political implications arise when Cruz, a brave man, goes to the former demonic kingdom.

People will be frightened that something has happened so much that the brave have to go out.

The Demons will misconstrue that a mighty powerful brave man has come to oppress them.

I slapped Cruz on the shoulder.

"Maybe Cruz shouldn't go yet."

"Too bad. I wanted to go to the Demon King."

"Are you so sorry?

"That's right. I wanted to have an adventure with Al for a long time."

Cruz likes adventure. An adventurer from the roots.

When I was encouraging Cruz, Yulina pulled my sleeve.

"Al."

"Mm?"

"I heard you used a lot of magic today."

Yulina has a very serious look.

Maybe I heard it from Vivi or Millet, or from around Colette.

"That's right. I kept doing gravitational magic to harvest it in the Mithril Golem. Very tired."

"That must be tiring."

Yulina put her hand on my knee.

"Maybe the stone on my knees grew so fast that I used too much magic."

"... how did that happen?

"You think the magic was keeping the stone from growing, don't you? See, just like your body's resistance is curbing the cold."

"Hmm. I mean, too much magic, possibly a sudden growth due to weakened resistance?

"It's only a possibility. For once, the magic consumption is suppressing."

"Copy that. Be careful"

Nevertheless, yes, there is no opportunity to use magic in large quantities.

There would be nothing wrong with it if it was done as usual.

"Are we done talking? Shall we have dinner?"

Shortly after Millet said that,

- Lilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

The alarm magic formation bells mounted on the cabin began to ring.

The ring I got for Vivi is also vibrating.

"Is it Dobby?

"Dobie's in the Lindoval Forest!

Says Valimier in a slight panic. Then who the hell is it?

I rushed out of the cabin.
