The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

Travel downtown following the escaped Dark Wolf.

Tracking depends on Momo's nose. "Sovereignty" doesn't work until it's close.

Besides, I can feel it even if the distance is away now. I don't feel bad.

That feeling doesn't seem to work unless Dark Wolf exceeds the threat level to some extent, either because he's alone or because he's weak.

Conversely, there is a good chance that we will be able to bring down that Dark Wolf now.

We follow behind the momomo that tracks him with his nose snapped.

Mr. Itinose is in a bad mood.

I really want to use a motorcycle, but I can't run properly because there are obstacles rolling all over the road downtown.

I guess I could raise the level of 'riding' more, but I can't help but leave you alone.

Anyway, now I just have to run and chase.

Then there was a reaction to 'Sovereignty'.

It's a sign of a monster.

You already caught up with him?

No... you're not.

This is a sign of another monster.

Turning his gaze, there was a goblin a little further away in the opposing lane.

Three... He walks on the road swallowing without even noticing this one.

I'd like to add to my experience, but can I take the time for the others now......

Ignore it, keep going.

After a while, I went out to an open park.

Few shields and a good view of the surroundings.

"Wow."

Momo stops his leg.

Apparently, 'Smell' is interrupted here.

Look around with Kyoro Kyoro.

There is no appearance of Dark Wolf.

There is no response to "Sovereignty" either.

"... you're not here"

"Yep..."

Pay attention again, look around, but no sign of Dark Wolf.

"Ku...?

Momo also makes his nose snap, but he just tilts his neck.

What's going on...?

I can't believe the smell and signs are suddenly interrupted...?

Is that some kind of skill?

No, wait... this has happened before.

That's right. I'm sure that's when I first met Dark Wolf.

He lurked in the 'darkness' and watched how this one was doing.

Even then, I didn't see any signs until just before.

Maybe he can do the same so that Momo can lurk in the 'shadows' and turn off signs.

If so, that's a pain in the ass......

I don't have the means to attack from this side, and I'm totally waiting for the other side to come out.

... What do we do?

Should we give up tracking Dark Wolf and aim for a market or farm association warehouse as originally planned?

Like that, it was when I was thinking about my future plans.

"Huh! - Wow! Wow!"

"Oh, what's going on, Momo?

Momo, who was running around the park and following the smell, suddenly came back to us.

Looks like a lot of haste.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"Wow! Wow! Wow!

"What? What? Is that true, Momo?

"Wow."

Momo nods.

Seriously... but what does that mean?

"Mr. Kudo, what's wrong?... or how do you know what Momo is talking about?

"What, you know, normal"

Me and Momo are heartbroken.

I know what Momo's talking about.

No, if we're serious, maybe Momo has the skills to tell us what he thinks here.

Anyway, I don't know what Momo's talking about, but I do understand.

"... what was normal?

Mr. Itinose is a face that doesn't really feel right.

But let's just put that away.

"Um... so, what's Momo saying?

He said it smelled like Dark Wolf.

"Huh!... is that true?

"Yeah, I just have something to worry about. Momo says the smell is mixed with the smell of another 'human' or multiple 'monsters'..."

"What?"

To be more precise, I say it feels like the smell of a monster or a dark wolf sticks to that 'human'.

Awesome, Momo's sense of smell. I can't believe I even know that.

"And the smell seems to be going on ahead of this park."

"Oh, but that's..."

Mr. Itinose also thinks into my words.

Yes, and then something strange comes up.

Why does the person smell like Dark Wolf or some other monster?

"Momo says other monsters smell like goblins, oaks, or even monsters you've never met before."

"Wow."

To the words, Mr. Ichinose made his expression more and more rude.

"Yeah, but there weren't any monsters when we got here, were there? So, isn't it possible that the man defeated Dark Wolf and other monsters?

"Sure, then I can also convince you that the signs and smells of Dark Wolf are interrupted here..."

Dark Wolf was weak, and if he had high levels and powerful skills, he might be able to defeat him.

"... then there must be a trail of battle, right?

"Ah..."

I hear Mr. Ichinose noticed, too.

Yes, there are no signs of combat in this park.

If the person knocked down a monster or Dark Wolf who was here and the smell stuck, it's not surprising that the park has become more disastrous.

"So you were hiding somewhere, unnoticed by the monsters?

"And after the monsters left, you said the person also escaped? Then the way the monsters smell falls apart."

Momo says that all the directions smelled by humans and monsters are in the same direction.

Then where did those monsters disappear?

How come you're not responding to my 'enemy'?

The smell of Dark Wolf interrupted all of a sudden here.

Multiple monsters that disappeared leaving only the smell behind.

And a mysterious figure wrapped around that smell.

What does that mean?

In my head, the worst anticipation was swirling.

"... Momo, can you track the smell of that human or monster?

"Wow."

Momo nods forcefully.

I want you to be worried if you can. Too much thought.

But if it does, it's gonna be a pain in the ass.

It shouldn't hurt to make sure.

"Let's go"

When I told him what I thought, Mr. Itinose nodded, too.

Momo traces the smell and runs out again.

We'll follow.

I went through the park, ran down the road, and headed ahead of the smell.

- And a few minutes later.

We got to the place.

No, should I say 'back' to be exact?

Because that's where we were.

"What's here...?

Mr. Ichinose shouts his surprise.

I felt the same way.

"... what do you mean, this is..."

Where it was at the end of the smell.

It was... school.
