The day after he joined Mr. Chloe of the Magic Knights of the Kingdom of the Rhine.

We left town at midnight. We walked through the meadows and reached our destination before the sun rose.

"Finally..."

"You're nervous..."

Mr. Fermina and Mr. Chloe tremble when they see a snugly empty sand ant nest hole on the ground.

"What are we eating today?

Meanwhile, Mr. Noir cares about today's dinner.

While traveling with me, I met the Demon King, and my senses were paralyzed.

"I ate meat for two days in a row, and I think I'll make it a light based meal today. What do you want with Mr. Noir?

"I like fruit."

"Nice. Then let's make it a fruit today! How about Mr. Fermina and the others?

"Yeah. If you can make it home safe, eat your stomach full!

"You guys can talk about rice a lot. I dreamed yesterday that I would be feeding Sand Ant..."

Mr. Chloe seems to have had a nightmare.

Anyway, Sand Ant, who is going to fight, is the strength to draw the line from normal.

Besides, the strength of the Queen Ant (Mother Ant) is unknown. I don't know how strong you are, and I can't help but be scared of Mr. Chloe.

But to protect everyone, Mr. Chloe didn't try to escape in awe. For the same reason that I'm standing here.

I don't fight to be strong, I fight to protect the one I care about.

Mr. Fermina taught me to be strong by doing so!

Needless to say, Mr. Noir and Mr. Fermina, Chloe, who gave me a treat for dinner, are also important to me.

Protect those three and I'll be strong!

We've improved the quality of magic in the world tree, and it's not strange that this operation has enough magic to allow us to fly freely through the sky!

I want you to wipe out Sandhuant.

Evacuate the queen of mutations.

Protect Mr. Noir and the others.

And I'll make you a great wizard!

"It's a good idea! We can take down Sandoanto! Conversely, I'll feed you sand anto, try it with as much feelings!

"Right! Eat sand anto for them!

"Okay! I'm gonna eat a lot!

"I'm hungry."

That's how we all felt together.

"We will now confirm the operation."

And Mr. Chloe coughed to get back on his mind.

"Sandoant begins his activities with the dawn. So the sweep operation is decided at the same time as dawn."

"If you sense dawn and come out by the nest hole, I'll do my best to set fire to it. But it won't reach the back of the nest."

"The surviving sand ant pops out of the nest hole one after the other - that's what I took down, isn't it?

"Yeah. The sand ant near the nest hole should be burning and getting a lot of movement, but I think the distant sand ant is intact, so I think it's going to hit me with all its might. So be careful, Ash."

"Of course we'll cover you, but Mr. Ash fighting by the nest hole is the most dangerous. I feel comfortable leaving it to Mr. Ash, who is not the Magic Knights..."

"Never mind. Because I'm better at close-range attacks!

Besides, it feels better to fight on the front lines, 'I'm protecting'!

"I'll cover you, too. But it looks like Ash's gonna take it all down."

"I'm going to fight for it, but, hey, we're going to ride the nest hole."

"You're right, sir"

And, Mr. Chloe opened the map.

This is a snapshot of a nest hole made by a team of people who are good at detecting magic.

According to the schematic, there is a large cavity at the deepest part of the tunnel leading underground - all the nesting holes lead to this cavity deep underground.

"This cavity would be a spawning place, a reservoir of feed, or both. Either way, it's highly likely that there's a queen ant lurking in this cavity."

Will you notice the intruder and come out, or wait for the intruder in the cavity...

I don't know which one it will be, but someone is going to fight the Queen Ant more than the destination of everyone participating in this operation is hollow.

Sand Ant sweep operations don't make sense unless you defeat queen ants that produce Sand Ants one after another.

"Queen Ant, who ruled the underground without our knowledge... If it came out on earth with many sand ants, the world would panic. The strength of queen ants is immeasurable. I don't know how much sacrifice it will take to defeat you. I don't know how much time it will take to defeat you. Even so, we must defeat them at all costs in order to preserve world peace!

Speaking forcefully to boost morale, Mr. Chloe exhales small.

"Now, that concludes the confirmation of the operation, do you have any questions?

"What do queen ants look like?

"Sandoanto gets more blue as it grows, but Queen Ants get more black. Also, queen ants are the size of a mature sand ant that can be swallowed whole"

"It doesn't look very tasty."

"You were really going to eat, weren't you?"

That's what Mr. Chloe said in confusion, and it's getting brighter across the horizon.

"Finally...... Now, about the position."

Mr. Fermina points a magic wand (Withers Rod) at the nest hole, and I put up my fist.

I'd fight as a wizard if I could, but it's to protect us all. Fight as a militant only today! Well, I don't remember fighting as a wizard.

That's how the sun lit up our bodies as we waited in militant positions.

Footsteps can be heard from behind the retreat and nest hole...

I don't know how many days it's gonna take, but I'll make sure you knock down the Queen Ant!

"So long - Operation Sand Ant sweep, here we go!!

At that moment, Mr. Fermina's flaming magic was unleashed into the nest hole.

In a dark cavity, there was a gold-cut sound.

The source of the sound is a black giant.

He was scattering demons with his sharp jaw. That interrupted his meal on the pretend.

"Keyeyeeee! What a creep! What inferiority! Lower bitch flavor that the concubine doesn't deserve to eat! Not something I could eat very much! Kicheyeeeee! '

Spitting out demonic carcasses, Queen Ant (Mother Ant) rubs her chin in frustration to produce a gold-cut sound.

"Concubines don't need unsavory bait or anything! Even though it is! None! None of this! Yummy! Kukeyyyyyyyyy!!

In the cavity is a pile of demonic carcasses collected by my sons (Sandoant) from all over the place.

Many of them are powerful demons. It is the feed of coveted things from the former queen ants.

But now queen ants know true gastronomy. Because I know how it tastes, it doesn't taste good.

"That gastronomy! When will you get that gastronomy! When will my children be brought to my concubine!

As if to exude frustration, the queen ant thrust into a pile of carcasses. He rattles his chin and rips the carcass apart.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Hungry! Kukeye Yee Yee Yee!!

There were as many feeds as there were mountains, but hunger never subsided whether I ate them or not.

Instead, the more you eat, the more gastronomic flavors you will come back to eat at that time, and you will be attacked by further hunger.

The only way to satisfy this hunger is to eat superb gastronomy.

"There's got to be a creature somewhere that knocked that thing down! That must taste superb!

Once Queen Ant was just a sand ant.

But the moment I ate the demon carcass I found in the wilderness - a bird with several small holes all over my body, I was struck by the feeling that my cells were boiling.

The body swelled many times, physical abilities rose far, spawning abilities improved surprisingly, and sons who were too strong were born.

The moment she ate the bird that day, the Queen Ant was reborn into a living creature.

"I want more! Gastronomy!! I want more! Power ah!!

The stronger you are during your lifetime, the better your feed tastes.

In other words, it is the creature that holds the bird together that is the true gastronomy.

It's inferior to that, but Queen Ant knows there are mountains of delicious feeds on the ground.

"Kukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk! I can't stand it anymore! The time has come to eat ningen. Ah! Queer! Queer!!

The queen ant wanted to eat ningen.

When all the eggs in the cavity hatched and became living, they were going to lead their sons to the ground.

But I can't stand any more hunger.

"Everything in this world belongs to my concubine. Wow! Concubine feeder! I'll eat it, eat it, eat it all up! Cacahhhh! '

Make a retreat and a noise and run up the cavity.

And as I was walking down the tunnel toward the ground,

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

and the whirlpool of flames loomed.

"KEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! I'm coming from the feed. Whoa! Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Strike through the flames as you crush your sons.

If this flame is the work of Ningen, it is too weak. It won't taste like much, but it's the first time I've eaten ningen.

I wanted to eat.

I wanted to be greedy.

You can finally eat it.

If we get out on the ground, we can eat up everything in the world!

"Feed it, feed it, feed it, feed it, feed it, feed it, feed it, feed it!!

Numerous ningens inhabit the earth!

I mean, the ground is a treasure trove of food!

It's a feeding ground that exists for queen ants!

"Eat the world, the time has come!! Kuke!! '

Pahhhhhhh!!!!!

"Ok! 1st body!

The queen ant splattered.
