Mr. Glynn, a few days after I asked Dius and the others to cooperate.

"I think it's time to hunt."

"What, what are you talking about all of a sudden?

I was sitting in a living room chair, and I shrugged.

Knoll, who was stroking Mofft nearby, reacts to my words like that.

"You'd have been concentrating on requests and group making lately, wouldn't you? That neglected our own hunt. Isn't this very problematic?

"That's true..."

Ever since I finished compgacha, I've pretty much lost the point of hunting normally.

There was a step-up chatter along the way, but that was due to the labyrinth reward.

You shouldn't do this, you're not aware of chatter, you're too low!

Nearly 100 of the rare species defeated during the labyrinth and escort, combined with the demonic stones that have gone into the last few days, are in hand for once.

But to this extent, it's not like we're talking.

"Right. We haven't been collecting demon stones ourselves lately, and maybe we should focus a little bit on hunting. Even though we don't have to hunt, the stones come in, it's not enough to guess."

"Yeah, yeah, that's Estelle. You know exactly what I mean."

"Hehe, can you give me a compliment?

The Estelle I was listening to joined the conversation, and it felt like she agreed with me.

Damn, Estelle's the best!

In fact, in the last few days, I've got a few of them that Dius and the others have knocked me down, but not enough to guess at this pace.

I'm just getting started, and I don't have a problem with it because it was originally a good idea to put it in as much as it is.

Apart from that story, once I have achieved my purpose and settled down, I want to go back to hunting for origin regression and save the Demon Stone once and for all within the present.

For those of us who survived the menacing chatter of comp chatter, I don't think there's any more scary chatter, but there should be a lot of demon stones.

It would be great if I could earn about making a mess every day from now on.

"Well, there's one other reason besides demon stones."

"Sometimes it's unusual for Okura-san to have other reasons besides demon stones."

"What do you think I am!

Sissha, who finished her chores, also comes into the conversation.

The big goal is to gather demon stones, but there was one serious problem when I came here.

"So, that's why... I think it's time to level up"

"Oh! Are you finally motivated!

"Oh, it's not costly enough."

"... Huh?

Yes, there was a problem with the total cost of the party.

"You also used lower costs when Luna was there. I haven't even hunted properly since, so you're saying I haven't been on a level?

"That's what I'm talking about"

I avoided it critically when I was Luna, but the cost of using it now is 76.

And my level is currently 63, so the cost cap is 77.

Only 1 is up because I didn't hunt much from Compgacha.

This makes it impossible to send out a new summoning stone even if it has been expelled.

"So we're going to be hunting for experience?

"When that happens...... are we going to Mount Remli?

From what's right now, it's just right to deal with Lizardman on Mount Lemuri.

Trying to level up is also very slow because of the level difference in the north cave.

So Sisha is right. Going to Mount Lemuri is number one......

"So far it's easy to level up. That's right. But because we can get to Quelles, I think we can find a new hunting ground. Maybe there's a place to earn demon stones and gain experience in the north cave"

I have yet to show my face to the hunting grounds around Quelles, which is a new heaven and earth.

So I think it's a good opportunity to look for a new hunting ground.

... and when you deal with Lizardman, it's tough because it even springs up and runs.

If you're in a forcible army, keep coming! I feel like it, but when I'm not, I want to hunt loose ends.

He was taught a B-rank recommended hunting ground at the Adventurers Association in Quelles and came to a place called the Alde Forest.

Me, Knoll, Estelle and I traveled for two days, and when we arrived, we used the beacon and called Sissha and Luna on the ground.

"Luna, I'm sorry to call you at this hour"

"I don't mind. I've been up early lately, so I'm fine."

It's about noon now, so it's not the kind of time Luna goes outside.

Recently, however, thanks to the fact that we had a life to wake up before the evening, we seem to be able to operate adequately even at this hour.

No, I'm glad Luna got up early, too.

I didn't think making friends with Sissha would work in a good direction here.

We're all set, so we just stepped into the Alde Forest.

Tall trees thrive in the woods without gaps, with slightly poor vision.

It's not enough to use a lamp, but it's dark, and the humidity is high or giddy.

That's kind of a creepy place......

"So what demons come out around here?

"From what I've heard at the Adventurers Association, it looks like there's a demon named Matango. And I hear Trent's leaving, too. Keep an eye out for the trees around you as Trent may be simulating"

Coming out of this place is like a demon called Matango.

I asked him what kind of demon he was, and he told me he was a big mushroom... but what the hell kind of demon he is.

Looks like a mushroom comes out when you defeat Matango, and they treat him as a magic medicine material in Quelles.

Some people prefer it as edible and demand is there?

And then there's Trent out here, too.

Matango looks better in the ranks of demons, but I have a pseudo, so I have to be careful what I strike.

"Whoa, there's a reaction."

"Is it Matango because Trent didn't respond until he made the attack?

"I guess. Looks like this guy is moving... it's time to see..."

As I was proceeding with confirmation on the map app, I finally saw a red dot.

Trent won't move until he makes contact, so it must be Matango that he's in this forest.

I proceeded to the one with the reaction, and finally I was able to confirm the demon appearance...

"Are you really a mushroom monster..."

"If you knock it down, you drop the mushrooms, right? It's a baked mushroom tonight!

"What..."

The Matango I finally found was something with legs growing in a mushroom with an umbrella like a hat, slightly lower than my back length.

It's like a mushroom version of Smythe, and such an object is walking slowly in front of us.

Seeing that demon, Knoll started saying baked mushrooms and stuff.

Seriously, seriously... you're going to eat the mushrooms he dropped...

And, let's check the status for now.

――――――

● Race: Matango

――――――

A little weaker than Lizardman?

But it may be troublesome to have inherent abilities and skills.

I don't really know what nutrient absorption is, but it seems to sprinkle spores, so be careful when approaching.

"Brother, is that magically resistant?

"No, it's not that expensive."

"Yeah, that would be nice. Yes."

Estelle, who took confirmation from me, took a water-colored grimoire out of her bag.

And as I wave down my wand with the hanging voice, the thinly stretched water cleaves my crotch in two straight from the top of my mushroom's head.

Matango, whose body is divided to the left and right, falls as-is and changes into particles of light.

Oh, don't use horrible magic as always...... but you seem to be thinking about things around you right around not using fire magic.

If they use fire magic in the woods, they'll have forest fires.

"Oops, it's a mushroom, mushroom!

Knoll rushed to where Matango disappeared and came back happy with a drop item.

What was in its hand was an elongated mushroom with a hemispherical umbrella stained in bright blue.

"Ko, are you sure you can eat this? The colors suck."

"It's obviously poisonous," he said.

This is edible or something, right?

I just think it's completely bright blue and poisonous......

I discovered another Matango, even though I pulled into a knoll trying to eat such mushrooms.

And Estelle uses earthly magic again, crushing mushrooms with rocks.

"Now mushrooms with different colors have fallen, right?

"... oh? Can I show you something?

"Come on, come on."

When Knoll recovered again, this time it was a bright yellow stained mushroom.

I look at that mushroom and start taking it in my hand as I tilt my neck to see if Estelle noticed anything.

"This mushroom seems to contain a lot of magic."

"Heh, I mean, magical mushrooms, do you feel that?

"You can say that... but clearly, it's like a mushroom with MP included"

Obviously it's not a regular mushroom, but a mushroom with MP included......

Maybe that's why it becomes a magic drug material.

"Does that mean the MP will recover if you eat that?

"I don't know. But to recover, I don't think we should eat this..."

As long as you eat this, you will recover your magic! How dare you imagine this world's magicians doing it.

Actually, it looks like I'm drinking it as an MP potion or something... but I hate to think this is in there.

Estelle started staring at Jizz Knoll as she was surrounded by such a subtle atmosphere.

"Hey, why are you looking at me?

"Want some?"

"Ugh, um... you're lost when they say that"

"Are you lost..."

Estelle asked Knoll if she would eat the mushroom she had in her hand as she offered it.

Then she combines her arms and thinks as she roars.

If they usually ask you if you want to eat mushrooms like this, you tell them you don't eat them instantly.

And yet I can't believe people like Knoll say even the first thing they don't think is food.

It's not something I can imitate very much.

Then we discovered Matango one after the other, and we kept hunting.

"You're making a big deal out of it."

"Right. It could be a little funny how the color changes depending on how you knock it down and who knocked it down"

"Hmm, my mushrooms are silver! It seems highly rare!

Continue to collect mushrooms, with mushrooms in various colors in the bag.

Apparently, this mushroom, the person who knocked it down or the way it knocked it down, changes its color.

When Estelle magically defeated him, the water changed to blue, the wind to green, and the soil to yellow. If you knock it down with fire, it will probably turn red.

And the silver mushroom that Knoll now happily has is something she knocked down and fell off.

If you eat it, it's going to metallize.

"Okura-san's... you have an indescribable color"

"Ha, white and black mix to look the strongest, right?

"It's kind of becoming self-inflicted."

And the mushroom I knocked down and fell... was gray.

Sisha is a bright white mushroom and Luna is a bright red mushroom.

Am I the only one in the middle of something? It's kind of regrettable.

"That's not if you're having fun! We're losing sight of our purpose!

Speaking of which, it was for collecting demon stones.

"It should be time for rare species to emerge..."

I've already defeated him quite a bit, so it's time for the rare species to come out.

If you think so, something will come closer to us as we rock the crap and the trees.

Standing vigilant about what was coming, it was the mushrooms that showed up in front of us.

It's the same mushroom as Matango, but it's more than double its size.

Is this a rare species... check your status.

――――――

● Madango Race: Matango

Level: 65

HP: 35,000

MP: 1500

Attack: 500

Defense: 1500

Agility: 25

Magic Resistance: 40

intrinsic ability nutrient absorption

Skill Spore Injection

――――――

What is this? Madango? That's a tough name.

Only rare species have a high status after all.

Plus, my skills seem kind of strong.

I just tried to fight. I tried to set up.

But before that, a red object flies over his head at high speed and pierces Madango.

One by one, the rock flies as it follows, deciding and skipping Madango's body.

The pierced object is Luna's spear, which, after a little while, becomes a particle of light and returns to her hand.

And soon he throws it again, with more wind holes in Madango.

Intensive fire from a distance by Estelle and Luna... the demons are starting to feel sorry for us.

Even though they are magically resistant, they are too miserable for spears to fly one after another while they are stopped from moving.

"Oh, my God, you're a rare species, but you can't help it."

"It's good because it's slow and big."

In about a few dozen seconds time, at the end, Luna's spear pierced and Madango turned into a particle of light.

Falling mushrooms are brightly red-stained mushrooms that are more than twice their normal size.

Wow, you knocked him out so lightly... Luna and the others can't help it.

I defeated the first rare species and then more and more like that, and so far today I ended the hunt where I defeated 30 bodies.

Oh, I can't stop! After all, my heart seems to be washed as I hunt for demon stones to accumulate.
