The shaky relationship with Arienol continued after that. Instead, they're hostile, so it's not a mess.

Regardless of the level of uncleanness, is it obviously still impossible to get along with an enemy certified opponent...?

"Normally, you can't."

Mary told me softly.

"'Cause you can assume I told you to get along. You'll get more creeps. You're the type who's going to say that it's better to die if you feel sorry for yourself."

Sooo, I know very well. The truth is, the guy I hate just told me to be my friend, and there's no one I can be friends with.

So, is it packed?

In a way, it's much more difficult than growing up as a black wizard.

And the training came in big.

We trainees were forced to assemble outdoors. In front of you would have originally been the land of the lords here, the woods are spreading.

The chairman, 'Ezelred of Incineration', comes out there.

"Guys, I've been trying so hard. I've got the next plan for you, with all the meaning of Negiri. All the time -"

The chairman shouted like a pile of white hair.

"- The BBQ Games!

BBQ tournaments? I thought we'd only do those Way guys or those guys camping or something with a conscious family!

But President Kerkel also said there was a BBQ competition or something, so maybe it's every year.

Well, from what I've seen, Way guys don't seem to be in the black magic industry very often, and there's nothing overwhelmingly awkward about it. All you have to do is talk about it that doesn't hit you as well as it does.

"By the way, I'll have them do it in pairs, but we've already decided on a pair. This referenced previous intimacy"

Oh, I have a terrible feeling...

Note that I clearly hit a bad feeling.

"Such an idiot! How can I be the same pair as this man! This is wrong!

Arienol is protesting against being a pair with me, too. All right, so much so that it really dissolves, protest me! Rarely did they agree with Arienol.

"Don't tell me you're close enough to fight."

No, you can't even have logic like you like to hate and hate like that!

In the end, the protest was unacceptable.

Nevertheless, the taste of BBQ is no different with whom. I'm gonna eat you up!

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, the meat is supposed to be sourced locally. Oh, my God, show me the teamwork and I'll be able to capture it soon. Come on."

The chairman's voice becomes a blatant glimmer.

"Caucatrice is in this forest, so capture it. By the way, when you're attacked with a nail, it petrifies, so be careful. Trainees are paid one knife each."

The faces of several participants blued.

When it comes to cocatrice, it's a bird with a tail like a snake. Says the flavor is delicious, but is traded at a considerable high price because of the risk of being stoned if the capture fails.

Apparently there have been some attempts to raise non-poisonous ones, but the taste dropped dramatically, and then normal chicken would be fine. Besides, it doesn't even get out of poison in particular, so it's no good.

"We have all the ingredients for BBQ, vegetables and other non-cocatrice ingredients. The dismantling itself will also help the instructors, so come get Cocatrice anyway. That's it! The pair I couldn't get are rice free. Oh, the rice drain is just terrible, so let's just do some hard bread and salad while forcing other pairs of BBQ landscapes"

Already, if that's the case, then nothing would be better!

"Oh, and the use of the user demon shall be prohibited. If Sacubas or something catches Cocatrice, it's training."

You're shooting at me with a pinpoint!

"Yeah, Cocatrice? It's such a boring challenge to yawn at the straw that it's" The Ancestor of Famous Nightmares. "

"Some newcomers call themselves outrageous beings over there, but, well, the guy with about that much bone is funnier"

Chairman, that's not a bluff, it's just a fact.

Well, the guy in the same squad as Mary, he's already promised a victory. Don't you like it, Seko?

This is how we were forced into the woods to look for Cocatris.

The most extreme story, the other side was more troublesome than Cocatrice.

………… …………

Me and Arienol move somehow over to the woods in silence.

Now, I can't talk casually or anything. First of all, if this is a complete first time meeting, there is a trend to expand the topic from introductions, but it's not even that, so I'm packing it.

No, but wouldn't it be over there if I gave up? Isn't the game over?

"Co, I've never seen a real thing called Cocatris, but what kind of bird is it...?

Let's raise the subject by asking them questions. It's an operation.

"Don't you even know that? You fool."

I just ended up being fooled......

"It's called Cocatrice, but what's around here, compared to what's said to be in the demonic world, is also fairly weak in toxicity, and they say it evolved independently in places with fewer natural enemies. For this reason, it is said that petrification can also be detoxified by advanced black wizards. I guess some instructors can detoxify it."

After making fun of me, Arienol started commenting.

"If we don't see this one as an enemy, we shouldn't even attempt to petrify it by launching an attack. Therefore, approaching from behind and stopping at once is the best measure. Anyway, it moves fast, otherwise it's tough. Fighting from the front on a one-on-one basis is too risky, I want to capture it alive to preserve the quality of the meat, but I haven't even been paid for a net, so that would be difficult. They gave me the knife, so I'm gonna stab you."

"That...... You're familiar with Cocatrice..."

Even I know I exist, but I don't even know if the toxicity is that strong.

"Really? Cocatris lived in the Morco Forest, too."

Maybe I could have discovered something nice about Arienol.

"Arienol, tell me more about Cocatrice!
