"Wait!

It was Natsuki who stopped us from making our immediate retreat.

"" Purificate "!

Why is that magic now? That's what I thought for a moment.

The light emitted by Natsuki went to the black even, and the next moment, it was so hard to describe, "Giggy!!" He raised his voice.

"-!" Purificate "!

It was Hulka who hung up the chase as soon as he saw the reaction.

Its black potatoes, already thinned by the magic of Natsuki, soon disappeared, without even raising their voice by the magic of Hulka.

"... oh well, 'purifying' wasn't the magic I used just to wash and clean my body"

I remembered that and when I exhaled loudly, I sat down on the spot with my hand on my forehead.

"Well, I totally forgot too, but it's supposed to be magic for the purification of the undead. Natsuki, you remember me well?

"No, I forgot until just before, too, didn't I? I just remembered because Hulka came up with a story about Holy Fire."

"Or so. Sure, it's the realm of light magic, isn't it? That's a complete mistake."

Haruka smiles bitterly when she hears Natsuki's words, and sighs.

"What was the enemy more than that? Though neither Toya's attack nor Nao's magic worked. Oh, you know what an undead is? Because 'purification' worked."

"That sounds like 'Shadow Ghost'. According to [Appraisal]. I don't know the details. However, when I was touched, I felt like I was losing some power or getting sucked out of something... I didn't feel right."

My knee was about to fall, and is it something drained?

And even in that situation, Toya seemed to be doing [appraisals] once and for all.

I don't know the details, because it's the [appraisal] specification of this world, so I won't have a choice.

"Shadow Ghost, right? Nao, you didn't respond to the enemy?

"Ah...... Somehow I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't know until a moment ago. Sorry."

"No, I'm not blaming you, am I? But from now on, it would be better to assume the presence of demons through Nao's [enemy]."

"Right. I didn't even realize I had an enemy, so it wasn't just Nao's fault."

"I felt a little uncomfortable, so if I raise the level, I think it's possible to notice..."

It is a threat, in a sense, that there are demons whose [opponents] have so far guaranteed our safety will not be effective.

It may be the adventurer who is supposed to be alert without such handy skills, but it would be quite harsh to say if you were to notice any signs of demons that would make it through [Sovereign].

In fact, even when I didn't have the [enemy] skills, or even Toya, who had some sense of the enemy's signs, I didn't notice Shadow Ghost until I found him.

"You have skills called [sneaky feet] and [hidden forms], and you might want to train them on that one."

"Right. Then, please."

"Yes."

If [hidden form] is a skill to erase signs, [enemy] is a skill to see through it.

If we train each other, we will also be able to level up. I mean, it's honestly dangerous if you don't raise it.

It didn't turn out fatal in Shadow Ghost, but when it comes to ghost-based demons, I'm afraid it's going to be an instant death attack or something.

"But I'm afraid you're not caught up in [the enemy], but you're not that strong as an enemy? He disappeared after two purifications."

"How about that? In a way, 'purification' is the magic we're best at, right?

"That's for sure"

Sure, it's the magic we take care of the most.

Anyway, now that I've got the bath, it's likely that my heart would have been broken if it hadn't been for this magic when I first came here.

"The Demon Stone... you fall for once. Bit bigger than a skeleton?

In addition to the Skeleton Demon Stone that Toya dropped on the ground earlier, he picks up the Bumpy Demon Stone saying it fell off the Shadow Ghost and compares it to Skeleton's.

That demonic stone, peering in from the side and seeing it, does also look a little bigger.

But even though I was naughty with nothing in it, the Demon Stone stays firm or something...... thanks!

Skeletons together, I'm particularly grateful that we don't need a ending.

For that matter, you get less, but it's better than a skull ape that's worthless but needs the end of a corpse, except the Demon Stone.

"But it's a little unexpected that the undead will come out, isn't it? Did you get any information that the undead were leaving?

"No... of all the information I've seen, the only demons I haven't met are the augers"

"Ma, I just saw the booklet you keep on the guild, too, us. You're not completely covered, are you?

"Not necessarily exactly covered"

In the first place, the woods around here are areas where adventurers haven't been in for quite some time.

It wouldn't be strange if the demon distribution was changing.

"Though, I'm a little nervous that you don't have the means to attack, except for Hulka and Natsuki. It wasn't a problem this time."

"Right. Not a problem with that number, but when it comes out a lot, it might get a little muzzy...... When you get back to town, think of something."

Not to mention Toya's physical attack, and Yuki doesn't have the means to attack again than my "Fire Arrow" didn't work.

With the exception of light magic, which seems to work, besides "Holy Fire" there is the "Holy Water" of water magic, but this one also has a level of 7 by magic books. Even at the same level 7, it's tougher than Holy Fire, for what it hasn't always been used.

Wind magic doesn't have anything like it, and soil magic level 7 has the magic of 'burying' Bay Real ', but this is magic that buries enemies on the ground, and it doesn't say anything about it that works for the undead.

I just buried it in the first place, and whatever the skeleton or zombie system is, the ghost system doesn't seem to make sense.

Uh-huh, I wish I had some good means...

◇ ◇ ◇

The day after we met Ghost, we were each separated and exploring the town of Lafan.

The aim is to find an effective means of attack or some countermeasure for the undead.

I don't have any particular idea, and if we all look, we'll find something, right? It is a light-hearted idea.

"But where should I go..."

Toya is going to the arms dealership. Toya is the best friend I have with Mr. Gantz.

Is Natsuki the Guild's library? No, but you've already read that one over there. There was only enough material in the library to have the "Oko", and I don't think there are any new discoveries.

Hulka go ask around Mr. Diola?

Or find out in some other way...... I can't grasp the bad behavior.

Yuki is the most communicative of all of us, so you're going to be listening.

So, I...

"In the meantime, let's walk around"

In case, no, a hundred million or so possibilities, you might find holy weapons or strange items that work against the undead.

But there's no such thing as an outdoor shop in Raffan's town selling suspicious weapons and items. If it's a game, a merchant wearing a hood and expanding his shop in the back alley, even though it's a classic.

... It's not a game, so I can't help it. There's no way that business can be formed in this city.

After walking all the way down the front street, I try to stretch my legs to places I don't normally go.

"There's a store around here too..."

Because there are so few things we need, once we decided on a store, we never dared to open another store, but of course, there were a number of other stores besides our usual range of activities.

That said, there is no doubt that the main street and the area around the town's central square are commercial centers, and it may be said that shops just off the hook are slightly off the market.

For example, the distributor of dishes previously guided by Aela.

Only baked goods are handled there, not objects that ordinary people usually use for their meals.

Dishes used in popular cafeterias and the like are also basically only made of wood and sometimes metal, and only some objects, such as riches or, if they are ordinary people, baked dishes, are required.

Naturally it would not be something that could be sold frequently, nor would it be suitable for setting up shops in crowded areas, that is, inevitably high rent and land prices.

"Regardless of the clothes store, there are stores like grocery stores..."

Having said that, is it not a typical old fashioner in this world, but one that should be referred to as a 'tailor'?

We are made by the Hulkas, but normally it would cost a lot of money to tailor new clothes, so we still can't call this a common store.

"But, Ma, why don't you go into the grocery store? I can't help it if I'm walking."

I'm just talking about what to expect from a grocery store, but I'm going to go inside and pick a somewhat suspicious store among them.

........................ um. That's a failure.

The interior of the store that came in is far from how to repel the undead, and vice versa, a substitute that is likely to invoke the undead. Absolutely, you're a substitute for black magic and stuff like that, this.

"There you are. What are you looking for? Heh heh heh."

The one who's been calling me confused is an old woman with a black hood in her eyes.

It's called a suspicious laugh, it matches the atmosphere too much.

"Undead."

"You want to call it in? I don't really recommend it to beginners, but if you really want to..."

"Oh, no, it's not. I'd like to kill you."

"... Holy shit. That's a missed door. For once, there's an undead avoidance talisman."

When I responded that way, the old woman, suddenly thrown, pointed to the corner of the shelf.

When I approached you, what was there was parchment with suspicious texts.

It's refreshing what it says, but it has an atmosphere. I do......

"Does this work?

"Right, hey, none of the customers who bought him came to complain about 'dead even with it'"

That just means you can't even come and complain when you're dead, right?

At least my senses don't seem to have any effect on this talisman.

"You're an adventurer, aren't you? At least you don't have what you need in this store."

"I mean, what's this store stuff...?

"Rich people like this stuff. The atmosphere is important."

The suspicious atmosphere faded and the old woman shrugged her shoulders laughed.

So you're saying that just because it looks like it doesn't actually work?

It's like the demonization that used to be popular in Europe and the United States. Maybe it's a little different for the ghost to actually exist here...

"If you're worried about the undead, you're going to the temple. The closest thing you can do is leave the store and walk to your left for a while."

"Er, thank you......?

"Look, just go. - If it's also an opportunity to visit a rich house, you'll come back. I'll be glad to see you out. Heh heh heh."

Finally, I said goodbye to the friendly old lady, who made another suspicious laugh, and I'll leave the store behind.

I doubt this monstrous store product will really please you, but I'll come back when I get the chance. I got some advice.

"Left, right?"

I had never come to this world and been involved in religion, but if you think about it, it is the Church when it comes to undead.

No, did the old woman say it was a temple?

When they say temple, they think of things of Greek descent, but the shrine of Shinto is also a temple when it comes to temples.

In this world, I guess it means that the place to pray to God is not the church, it's called a temple.

"... here?

What I found on foot for a while was a slightly splendid building made of stone.

A building like that, mixed with a Parthenon temple and a stone church I imagine.

There are no cross-like symbols listed, but there would be no mistake in thinking of them as temples because they are made differently from the buildings around them to see them.

"You can come in...?

When I went inside feeling something slightly awkward, there was one woman there.

When I was in my early 20s? When he noticed me coming in, he called out with a nickel and a soft grin.

"Welcome. Are you praying?

"Uh... yes"

There won't be any talk of suddenly telling me what to do about the undead.

Honestly, I don't even know what kind of god this place is offering, but I bet you'd be better impressed as much as you pray.

"It's a good thing. Please move on and pray."

"Yes."

Proceeding back as recommended by the woman, there was a statue of a god festived there.

The material is probably stone. The size is about slightly smaller than that of an adult male, a masculine god who looks a little younger in appearance. And before that, there was something similar to the box you often see in the shrine. Yes, it's a coin box.

Looking softly inside, it contains several coins.

And behind me, there's a woman - maybe a cleric - with Nico and a grin.

- You can't just not let me in.

I got a little worried, and when I took one large silver coin out of my wallet, I threw it in the coin box and put my hands together.

The next moment, my vision stained bright white.
