Knoll and I took a trip together to finish organizing our gear and report yesterday to the Adventurers Association in Quelles.

And I told the usual receptionist that there was also a Grandis in the bamboo grove.

"Was Grandis still occurring...... I can't believe you're knocking that out again at a solo party, Mr. Ogura actually...... could it be A-rank?

"Bi, it's B-rank! Well, more than that, do you know of any demons that drop this? When we crusaded Grandis, we attacked him together. It was the size of a goblin, with a similarly vicious face, a demon flying through the sky with wings with black skin."

I gave Grandis' proof of crusade to show him more black horns and trident spears that Diabols had dropped.

I tried to tell her it looked more or less like this, but the receptionist is tilting her neck as she takes the horn and trident spear in her hand and looks at it.

"Are you a black demon flying in the sky similar to a goblin...... you don't have any idea. Besides, I've never received any reports of demons dropping anything like this. I'll look into it, please wait."

With that said, the receptionist disappears into the back with a Diabols drop item.

Does the association have any information about that demon? I didn't think it was a normal demon... but where the hell did it spring from?

"I don't know right away, maybe it's a demon that's not around here."

"It was a pretty tough demon, wasn't it? Just like Grandis, it may be a rare monster to encounter."

Thanks to Knoll and the others, we were able to lightly defeat Grandis and Diabols at the same time, which I think was a more dangerous situation than the great crusade of Kobolt.

I looked weak because of the unilaterally bogged down, especially Diabolus, but it was statefully a fleshy strength for the boss of the labyrinth as well.

I don't think I'm out there hoping for that, or maybe that was a special demon after all.

After talking to Knoll about this for a while, the receptionist came back.

"I reported similar demons in the past and confirmed what I dropped...... there were no records in this association's materials. As for this demon, I'm unlikely to be able to give you a crusade reward this time. Are you sure you want to leave it with me for a little while, as I will determine the reward for not analyzing the corners, etc.?

"Yes, that's fine"

I knew you had no information.

And a demon with no precedent, can't a crusade reward be offered right away? Speaking of which, I forgot to ask about the results of Behemoth I asked for at the Wang Capital Association. Next time I have to go ask.

But if you analyze it, is it also a tool to know how much demon it is?

Looks like some gear stores know the quality of weapons and protective equipment, and some people can look at demonic materials and judge them.

So let's also ask about the black Demon Light Stone, which Diabols had.

"Excuse me, this is what that demon had, too, but do you have any club idea what it is?

"Is that... a demonic stone? Detailed analysis of the Demonic Light Stone has not taken place in the Adventurers Association. If we're going to look into this, we should ask the city's lab or something."

"Really..."

Hmm, the Adventurers Association doesn't know anything about Demon Light Stone, does it?

I told the lab to ask for it, but I'm not sure where to bring it in... can I talk to Mr. Cristia, too?

Worried about what was going on, the receptionist kept talking.

"If there doesn't seem to be any inconvenience, would you like the association to ask the depository to analyze the demonic stone? It's demon-related, so we'll work with you as much as we can as an association."

"Is it true! Then please!

Oh, will you arrange it with the Adventurers' Association, it will help.

You'll choose an institute that's familiar with Demon Light Stone, so I'll leave it to you.

This demonic light stone seems to have something to do with this Trent outbreak, and if you can analyze it, you should.

I'm in a state where even Estelle doesn't know the details because I fell apart in about 17 splits, but a laboratory that specializes in doing it might be able to grasp something.

We left the Adventurers Association behind with the Black Demon Stone Shards, the Grandis Crusade and the reward of the request for an investigation, 6 million Gs.

For when Trent's sightings come out again, I'm going to show my face to the association every day for a while.

I am also going to go around to see if there is any variation in the surrounding area.... I especially want to find a labyrinth or something.

"Uh, no harvest"

"I can't believe the Adventurers Association doesn't have any information either, do you mean demons like Behemoth in the Labyrinth?

"I don't know. I got some information because I saw the status, but I didn't know why."

"Speaking of which, I hadn't heard the details. What status was it?

Oh, didn't you explain the status of Grandis and Diabols?

That Grandis had a tentative attached next to his name. Levels were also lower than those of the first individual and their status had dropped overall.

Diabols had an item called status, which was labeled as a family member there.

When I teach Knoll these two things, she's thinking with both hands together.

"Um, you're really a mystery. Are you a relative of Diabols, with reduced status in the provisional representation of Grandis"

"Diabols is still easier to understand though. Well, that's a different problem."

You can probably think of a family member as being obeyed by someone.

Then it would mean that the guy who was causing this disturbance by letting Diabols follow might be behind it.

From the information we've got so far, it's easy to predict this disturbance.

Let Diabols have that Demonic Light Stone to generate the Grandis with some magic that was added to the Demonic Light Stone.

As a result of the Grandis outbreak, there was an anomaly around Trent and it was scattered over there.

Grandis, who fought for the second body, was in the process of growing that had just occurred, so he became an individual with low levels and status.

Is that the case?

If we'd gone a little later, Grandis would have grown up completely and Diabols would have been gone from there, repeating the same thing elsewhere.

If Diabols is the cause as expected, the Trent disturbance should also come to an end unless even additional individuals emerge.

I told Knoll what I thought.

"I have the art of using all those demons and even intentionally generating the Great Crusader Demons... Does that mean there's such a true killer?

"I don't want to think about it, but it's possible. I don't think there's a demonic stone around there that affects demons, and I don't think Diabols can make it himself."

When it felt like I saw Diabols' skills, there was nothing like generating demons.

I was deliberately diving inside the Grandis, which would mean I was doing something, and the only thing I can think of is that demonic stone.

I don't even think there's a demonic stone falling around that could interfere with such demons, so you should still assume that someone has prepared that one.

Did Cobolt Road also have a family summons with his skills, or did he even summon Diabols in a similar way?

I can't imagine how strong he is to be able to summon that demon of strength...

"Well, we're still talking about the range of speculation. However, something may continue to happen, so you should be vigilant."

"That's right. You keep your mind in mind so that whatever happens whenever you want!

I made predictions, but in the end it's all just my imagination.

Actually, I don't know what that demonic stone looks like until I figure out what it is.

I can't really guess that either, because I can't even tell from looking it up at the lab.

I'm thinking a lot, but it doesn't mean we have to fix this.

But if there's anything we can do to help, we're gonna do everything we can to help solve it.

If there's such a danger, we might get in the way of our hunt in the future. The seeds of anxiety need to be removed soon.

If you fix that, you might get paid for the chatter again... heh.

"Welcome home, brother, Knoll"

"Oh, I'm home."

"It's just happening. You also welcomed Mofft!

Upon completing the report and returning home, Estelle greeted me with a smile.

Mofft also greeted him with a poop at his feet towards Knoll and was just held up by Knoll.

"How was it about yesterday?

"No harvest whatsoever. Instead, I asked them to deposit the shards and have them analyzed at the lab."

"Yes...... I wish I could have analyzed... sorry"

Estelle puts her hand on her cheek and looks down slightly depressed.

How you feel responsible for not knowing what this Demon Light Stone is.

He's going to be confident about magic, and he's going to be shocked that he couldn't analyze it.

"Estelle can't do anything, so don't worry about it. If you can ask someone to do it professionally, you can ask them to do it."

"Um, right. What you can do should be left to people whenever possible"

"Ugh, that's right"

When I told Estelle not to worry, Luna and Sissha came into the conversation too.

Luna rides on Sisha's lap, sitting in a chair, eating the fruit she has taken the other day. Of course, have Sissha carry it to your mouth.

Sissha, who is feeding Luna fruit, loosens her face without sloppiness and makes her happy.

"... Luna let's do it herself a little more. I mean, hasn't Sisha spoiled Luna too much lately?

"What are you saying! Not enough at all!

"That's right. - Say something extra."

"Both Cisha and Luna are good for each other..."

Ever since we got along, Luna's spoil by Sisha had escalated.

Recently, she changed her sleeping clothes, fed her rice like she is now, and took a bath with her to wash her body.

I think it's great to be close, but I'm anxious that Luna is going to be a totally useless daughter if we stay this way...

"... hehe, right. I'm a little sorry I didn't know, but I can't help it."

"Yeah, yeah, that's fine."

"But instead, your brother will comfort you, yes!

"What, whoa!?

Estelle, who was listening to the conversation in silence, looked up and smiled.

Looks like you blew it off. And I was relieved... she followed me around afterwards.

Oh, come on, how can that be! I don't mind consoling you, but why are you holding me!

"Estelle's perfect for Ogura, too."

"Hehe, when I dived into bed this morning, I got away with it, so I'll have plenty of sweetness for that."

"Yeah!? Did you dive into bed again!

"Haha, is it in bed?"

"Oh, in bed."

I wasn't talking about being dived into bed this morning.

When Estelle ran her mouth about it, Nor was surprised to see me again, and Sisha looked at me with a sniveling look, and Luna looked at me with interest.

also, why should I be seen with such an eye when I'm on the dived side!

"Beh, I didn't do anything nasty! I fell right out of bed!

"So what do you think..."

"It's a big deal to roll off to the point of being escorted. It's like... No, you know what?"

"What did you convince me of?... Hey, why are you turning away!

"... nothing"

When Luna stopped with something in her mouth, she was convinced to nod a little on her own.

Then when I speak, I turn my back and turn my back.

Hey, you little girl, what were you trying to say now? That's right, I'd be hurt if a toddler told me that too!

Even though they made fun of me like that, the conversation ensued with Wye.

Sometimes I felt depressed the day after the bombing, but talking to the Knolls made me feel that way.
