When Friesia started to calm down somewhat even when she went outside, we finally resumed our hunt.

My immediate goal is to make money, so I'm coming to the Stogal mine where I hunted with Dius and the others the other day.

This time, the five of us are here, except for Luna, who broke into the pit at the bottom of the mine and hunted.

When I came in, there was a scattering of tsuruhashi and hand-held cars over there, whether it was from the time I was digging inside the pit.

Did something happen on the way to digging after all......

Naturally it was dark with no lights, but there it was solved with the magic of Mr. Estelle, who got the grimoire of light.

By twisting the sunlight and putting it in the pit, it is as bright as it is outside.

Magic is really anything. There won't be a magician who can do this though.

Looks like light magic has some for attack, thought I'd show it to you for a try...... usual, no! Not - gather the light of doom, or something. I started chanting, so I panicked and stopped.

If I had let him shoot like that, the whole perimeter could have turned into scorched earth......

With that happening, I have been on my feet for the past few days, going somewhat inside the pit to build up my position.

"Huh!

Just like when Dius and the others hunt, Gargoyle emerges from the empty rock walls of holes that can only pass in one place.

Friesia, with her bow on her head, released an arrow, and the ejected gargoyle was crushed to pieces.

"I knocked him down again!

"Oh, you work hard! Freesia is still amazing at crushing gargoyles with bows and arrows."

"Oh, hey, that's natural."

Defeating Gargoyle makes a gutsy pose, and Friesia rushes over to Knoll.

When I get compliments, I scratch my head off the hood with my wolf-like ears on it, loosening my nihella and mouth to make me happy.

The hood I'm wearing right now is a hunting-only hood made by Knoll.

Though I rarely encounter people, I may encounter other adventurers or something during the hunt.

For that reason, there was hope from him, and he also asked Knoll to make a food dedicated to hunting, just in case.

Knoll also began to make it as a delight to see if it was Norrinoli, and I'm still talking about making other hoods and stuff.

"Friesia is totally like the hood. You liked it that much?

"Yeah! I wasn't used to it at first, but now I feel safer wearing it! And because it's something that Nool made for me, it's my favorite."

"Hmm, it's more than anything to please me. You can make it for Lord Okura and the others, right?

"You... you want to see me in a pretty hood?

I don't know what to say to myself, but who gets me to wear a hood with animal ears...

Nobody wants that.

"Oh, I'd love to see a brother like that."

"Right. Hello... No, I'm sure it suits you."

"You guys are just having fun and saying..."

There were people nearby who wanted it! Or you're just being funny!

The guy from Sissha said something while hiding his mouth with his hand... he's definitely gonna laugh.

"Uh, don't you like Heihachi? You're so cute...... because of this, we're all good together. Estelle, how about you and Sisha?

"I guess I'll be a little shy..."

"Wow, I don't look good either..."

I thought it was just me, and Estelle and the others are just taking it.

Estelle looks good, but Sisha's a little bit.

If Sissha gets hooded, I'll laugh so hard... I'll stop it because it's going to pay off later.

"At all, Lord Okura and the others are shy, aren't they? Friesia, I'm going out with you, so you're coming out next time!

"Yay! I knew Knoll was sweet! When you get home, you'll try to recommend it to Luna too!

I didn't know you were going to jump to Luna, who's not here... but I think I'd like to see you in the hood for a second.

I hate it, but I want the Freesians to do their best here.

As we interacted with the hunting grounds without tension, the rocky walls that were suddenly blocking the pits were smashed and scattered with the crushing noise.

And it was the orange object, Colossus, that showed up out of the soil and smoke.

"Whoa, are you finally out? Yikes!

The Colossus that came out had just emitted his body and was about to use the shrinkage.

but before that I transfer my hand with a dimension bracelet and punch him in the head with an Excalibur.

The disturbance stopped the activation of the shrinkage and the luminescence also healed, even sending a precaution to the silver liquid, the centipede bra, which had been pre-positioned on the ground, and letting it stick to Colossus' feet to stop the movement.

"Yes, one more aside. Yep!

Without intermittent hair, Estelle waves her wand and covers Colossus with a hemispherical rocky wall, this time facing forward and waving her wand.

Then a magic formation appears at the tip of the wand, and the flame stretches in a straight line. It's like a flamethrower.

Colossus suffers from burning within the walls of the rock, but he cannot escape because of the entanglement of the centipede bra.

I kept getting burned all the time, and at the end of the day, I got a crack in my hard-looking orange body and splashed it.

Then the centipede bra, which was stuck, was also scattered, and the light particles returned to the crystal that was on my shoulder.

"You said, this is the second one"

"The Ogura still thinks about the Eggy trick..."

"How dare you defeat every centipede bra?"

"It will be replenished on its own even if it breaks. Then I need to use it effectively."

He had already defeated one Colossus, starting his hunt in the pit.

The first time I failed without grasping the time to stop shrinking, I forced myself to stop and knock him down with a centipede bra, but this time you hunted endangered.

Though it is sacrificing the centipede bra, there is no problem because in a couple of days it will recover the remaining number.

"Nevertheless, a demon named Colossus is really hard to come out of. I'm surprised you've been hunting for 10 days and only got two."

"That's it. I came out in two days when I came hunting with Dius and the others, but that looks like we got lucky. We're getting in there, we're getting more efficient, and this is it."

"But if you don't have a low encounter rate, even colotium won't get high. Besides, you're gonna make more than enough money."

"So is that."

Colossus dropped the colothium in a velcro bag and recovered it.

Now that's the second one, even if it's simple money, it's 10 million Gs. Plus there are quite a few iron ore I got from Iron Gargoyle.

Enough to make money, even though it took 10 days. Not enough to leak dissatisfaction.

I just don't care if you come out a little bit more...... what are you thinking.

"Then what about going deeper? Or me, I wonder what's behind this pit."

"I care too! Sounds like fun to explore in here!

"Right! Okura-san, let's go!

"No, no, no..."

Even though we weren't so close to each other, Sisha and Friesia are strangely intentional...... NORINOLI!

I'm curious, too, but I'm hesitant to go any further in the back. I'd appreciate it if you could move on back and get more Colossus out, but if more than one came out at the same time, it wouldn't be sprinkling.

"That bothers me, too, but I think you should stop going any further. Even though we have Friesia and Sissha, it's dangerous if we're surrounded by gargoyles."

"Right. If we're going any further, at least bring Luna."

"Uh, let's go. I can't believe I took down a gargoyle in one blow!

Knoll and Estelle seem to have the same idea, and going back seems negative.

Still, Friesia wants to go, and she's pulling Knoll's arm.

"Friesia, you can't talk about me. There are Iron Gargoyles, and Colossus is in danger if we encounter them."

"But..."

"It is forbidden to be cautious, even though it is dangerous to explore the demonic nest. If you keep exploring, someone could be in danger. I'm wondering what's going on back there, too, but I don't like that. Friesia would understand, wouldn't she?

"Ugh... I get it. But next time, take Luna to explore! It's a promise!

"It's up to Luna, so it's hard for me to promise... but I'll try my best."

"Wow! I'm hoping so."

Friesia is happy to jump.

... I'm flying at Luna again, but I can't help it.

I'm actually wondering what's behind this, so if I can convince Luna to go back?

"Mr. Knoll, you're totally used to treating Mr. Friesia. You didn't listen to me no matter what I said when I was away looking after you..."

"Sounds like we're in a good mood together, and Nor is a good person to take care of. But isn't Sissha compatible with Friesia?

"What do you say? Ladies like me don't have to deal with cheerful kids like Mr. Friesia."

Estelle sends a frightened gaze to Sissha, who puts her hand on her mouth with her oho. I think I have the same eyes.

You did a good job of saying things you don't normally think of as ladies......

We got a second colonium, and we left the mine behind.

And Cisha and the others sent him home, and me and Nol and Estelle came to the Adventurers Association of the King's Capital.

Tell Dius you've got the colotium, to ask him if there's any new information in it.

Looks like we should take it directly to Mr. Gantz about the colotium... but we should check with him first.

I thought so. I took a trip to the association.

"Dear Dius, Smica and the others returned the other day, so they asked for an escort."

That's what Widge told me.

Ama...... was it a little late to come? I don't think I'll be able to give you the colonium for a while.

Do you want to go deposit it with Mr. Gantz later?

"Then you're not going to be able to come home for a while. Will you tell him I got the colotium when I get back?

"Co, is it colotium!? I told you about the hunting grounds before, so I thought I'd pick them up, but they're too early for boulders..."

Oh, surprise means Dius and the others didn't say anything about getting the colotium.

I don't really. Does this mean I shouldn't spread the word? Let's not say anything extra.

"We are aware of the matter of Master Dius. Actually, there's something I'd like to share with Mr. Okura and the others... the president of the association wants to talk to you a little bit."

"Oh, what's so important about that uncle wanting to talk?

"Maybe you've made some progress! You're going to listen to me!

"Please wait while we show you around"

Oh, I didn't know the president of the association called. Did you even get any new information in there?

Widge asked me to get confirmation, and then they took me to the reception room I was guided to before.

"I'm sorry you had to come all this way."

"No problem. Is that still an example of a story?

Once inside, he sat on the couch to face Mr. Christoph again this time.

Um, I knew it would be nervous to talk to the president of the association face to face.

I guess the fact that they called me on purpose nonetheless concerns those black demon crystals and diabolos.

"The other day, a black monster flew through the sky that you had defeated... and I received a report that I had discovered the monster."

"Did you find that demon again!

"But thoughts and demons certainly don't mean demons."

I'm talking about finding Diabols himself!

When he's in the dark, it just seems like a foretaste of something bad happening again...

But like Estelle said, it's a little weak to say thoughtful demons.

Mr. Christoph is also frowning at her words in the evidence.

"There were just reports of the discovery of an unidentified demon, and I don't know if it is. The adventurer I discovered also just saw him during a request to collect material, and he said he wasn't fighting. But Otakura said he also had a spear that looked very similar to what you taught him before, and became the tip of a third."

"That's... eighty-nine out of ten. That demon is likely."

"Yeah, but still, it's possible it's not that demon."

Diabols is likely, but you don't know if it's him......

The association has never had a report of its discovery, so naturally the adventurer who discovered it should not know about Diabols.

In order to confirm that... you want us to go?

"So again, I'd like to ask you guys to investigate... are you okay?

"... yes, I'm not particularly busy, so no problem"

"Well, good for you. Now, I want you to head to Severia, the port town where the report came in."
