I gathered the Knolls in the living room the night I finished my report at Severia, and I made a declaration.

"We'll hold a Great Demon Stone Council than this"

When he said so with his elbows on his desk and his hands together, Knoll, who was also seated, reacted with a frightened voice.

"I've said strange things again..."

"I don't know what's going on. Suddenly?

"Seems I've been motivated because the anomaly at Severia has been resolved."

"I don't know, but you're uptight. What do you do in a meeting?

I have already told her that I spoke to Irina today in Sevaria, and that the request for an investigation by the Adventurers' Association has officially been closed.

I held the Great Demon Stone Discussion Council from that stream, but some confusion would have no choice.

"As you know, the anomaly at Sevaria has been completely resolved. So this Heihachi thought, now is his chance to resume the Demon Stone Hunt!

"How can that be such an idea? You've settled down, haven't you?

"You hunt demon stones because you settle down! You forgot the humiliation of this previous ceiling gacha!

"Your brother is surprisingly obsessive... no, not surprisingly. It's just that I really don't give up on gacha."

"Shortly after you finished your report at the Adventurers Association today, you said you were going to do a demon stone hunt or something. I didn't expect you to start until the council that night. This is the only time you can act."

As I recall, Yoshinagi is the motto of Heihachi! We have to do this before this enthusiasm calms down! I'm a man with a reputation for action!

"Hmm..."

"That, Luna, what's wrong?

Luna, sitting silently, took a seat elsewhere with me thriving.

Then he walks to his room with a bare gesture of thinking about putting his arms together.

... This guy is going to run away pretending he doesn't know the grandeur.

"Luna, don't run away from the demon stone hunt"

"I'm not running away. Just go to sleep."

Luna turned around and stopped, but she frowned and looked terribly nasty.

I don't care what you think, you're trying to escape.

I can't help it, I just have to urge a little here to voluntarily join the council.

"The supreme bunk, you seem to like it a lot, but how's it going?

"... what are you trying to say?

"What if a bedding pickup mess comes along? Other SSR bedding must be just as comfortable to sleep with. We might have UR too. But if Luna can't help me collect the Demon Stone, I wonder if it's hard to turn it satisfactorily because there aren't enough Demon Stones. Ah, too bad."

"Hiro, you're a coward, Heihachi!

"What, until I tell you the truth. Look, I gave up on the last ceiling crap because I didn't have enough demon stones."

"Knock..."

He looks like he chewed up a bitter bug, but Luna sat down for a long time.

But what I'm actually saying is true, so I can't help it.

If we can't improve the Demon Stone Hunt here now, we can't turn the extra chatter around!

"I'm talking about the Great Demon Stone Council or something, but what exactly are you going to discuss?

"Well, of course, it's the policy of how to collect Demon Stones in the future."

"As usual, I think we should all scatter around the hunting grounds and hunt... your brother doesn't think so, does he?

"Oh, sure, if we hunt like we always do, we'll save a certain amount of demon stones. But if a long-term request starts like this one, it's harder to hunt like that."

"Ma, in retrospect, you used to hunt demon stones extremely infrequently."

"Right? That's why we want to take this opportunity to further increase the efficiency of one Demon Stone hunt, or we want to fully aim at automating Demon Stone hunting."

If you just save the Demon Stone, just do the Demon Stone Marathon for a long time and it will solve the problem.

However, it is likely that there will be a long term request in the future, as is the case this time.

It is a shame that every time demon stone collection is interrupted and you miss out on important and affordable chatter.

So it occurred to me that the priority to do should be to focus on how much less time we get the Demon Stone in bulk, and how much more of the Demon Stone we can get out of work.

Improving the collection of demon stones in the future without being confused by the current demon stones. Now dedicating time to it should be the best thing to do!

"I agree with that suggestion, but isn't it hard to make it any more efficient? And automation was a setback the other day."

"Hehe, there's no way I'm going to give up on this one failure. Everything is a trial and error, if you fail, just try another way. And there's no reason to be more efficient. What we're doing now is just a compromise!

"It's only at times like this that you say something that sounds right. I'd be impressed if it wasn't for Gacha..."

"You mean you have a plan to say that much, right? I don't know, I don't have any ideas, and I'm not gonna say it."

"It would be a council for everyone to think about it!... Well, that's too irresponsible, so I thought about the whole idea."

I just want to work out a draft while we all debate it, but it's hard to think from 0.

I'd like Knoll and the others to provide me with a demon stone hunting proposal, but this time it would be nice for me to come up with a basic proposal and ask Estelle and the others to review the problem.

"It's difficult to automate demon stones, so we have to find a new hunting ground when it comes to the efficiency of demon stone hunting."

"Does that happen in the end...... but what better place to find a new hunting ground than now?

"The main hunting grounds now are the Goblin Forest and the Sasori Cave, right? Is it the usual way to leave the cave to Mr. Estelle and Mr. Knoll and take the rest of us to the woods?"

"So if it's a normal hunt, we can all hunt about 50 a day. What kind of hunting grounds would be a candidate if we were to make this a more efficient place?

The Goblin Forest and the Sasori Cave, which are currently hunting demonic stones, are tough to make any more efficient.

The hunting route can also be constructed completely, leaving little room for improvement anymore.

Even if efficiency is increased, it will only be the number of error ranges, and a fundamental solution is impossible.

So if you really think about increasing the efficiency of demon stone hunting, there's only one way to change the hunting grounds.

"If you're simply thinking about improvements, it's a place where you can increase the efficiency of range hunting. One fisherman is the limit when it comes to a cave of sasoris, so I'd like to find a hunting ground where you can fish and hunt demons in about three people if you want."

"The northern cave is small, so it's hard for two or more fishermen."

"Oh, that's why I want to find a hunting ground there that's big and easy to fish for demons. But for that matter, the problem is that Estelle is more burdensome to attack..."

"Oh, if it was your brother's request, I'd be happy to take on that amount of burden."

"Oh, yeah. Thank you."

Ugh, it's painful to be able to answer my proposal with such a full grin.

I don't know how much you accept, but if I do too much, Estelle might rumble out again like before, so I'll have to keep it on track there...

"So, another way to increase demon stone efficiency is to hire someone with money or something"

"Hire, is it?

"Yeah, because I solved this Severian anomaly and got 300 million G's. It would be one hand to use some of this funding to request other adventurers to crusade demons. Of course you can lend me your mess gear."

"Um, that's good. I'll take care of the others."

"But isn't that something that seems difficult? I don't know if it would be cheap to lend cha-cha gear..."

"You just have to discuss it carefully there and decide the terms. For now, it means that we can do that with money.... hehe, I knew the power of gold was great."

"Heihachi looks really bad."

I made a lot of money originally, but it wasn't big enough to make a request.

I've got a big hand so far, I just want this money to be used effectively to get the other adventurers to do a rare species hunt.

But the problem is that you have to build a sense of companionship while gearing up to get the Demon Stone.

Where I want to try experimenting with whether I can build that sense of fellowship by paying and asking for it.

If that's possible, you can also ask multiple Adventurers at once to bottom up the number of Demon Stone Collections.

There will be limits to our own hunting, and it's still important to solve this with a number of violence.

When I was thinking about when I succeeded laughing, I noticed Estelle looking at me with her hands on her cheeks and an anxious look on her face.

Huh, why are you looking at me like that?

"When you can collect demon stones with money, that's what you're worried about. Brother, you're going to spend an unlimited amount of money on hunting."

"Oh, that's not true, is it?

"That reaction is suspicious..."

If you can ask other adventurers, I can't deny that you're going to spend more and more money with a sense of charge...... yeah, let's just say I'll put up with it there with the will of steel!

And there's a good reason why you want to use money to collect demon stones.

"Well, whatever it is, it means Gacha is our top priority in the future. Seriously, if we were to go to the end of the world, we wouldn't be strong enough."

"Is this where Master Testudo said it was? Is it such an amazing place?

"It's where that Master Testood said there was a strong demon, so hey. It could be the land where the Phallus Testudo demons live."

"There's nothing you can do about it if there's such a continent... But if you're going to the end of the world, you might want to be strong enough to defeat Farsus Testudo on our own."

"Hmm... I don't want to go. I want to sleep quietly at home."

"Uh, I want to go! It sounds like fun to go somewhere you don't know!

If we were to go to the end of the earth, we certainly wouldn't be strong enough right now.

Like Estelle said, I think the lowest line is to be strong enough to defeat Farsus Testudo on his own.

That's why we should now give top priority to collecting demon stones and turning the chatter around!
