It was a few days after the meeting with the mayors.

"Is Lord Rise here?

Lizardman's chief Zeld came under the Lamias who worked in the office.

"This is Master Zeld. What can I do for you, Master Rise?

"Um, beautiful pale scaly woman. I caused Lord Rise a great deal of trouble in this case. That's why I'm here to express my gratitude."

Zeld describes the purpose of the visit with a magical look on his face.

"Is it to the left? If you're Liz, we take care of the demons' scales behind the office."

Lamia's language is more polite than usual because she's in the middle of a desk job.

"Would you mind if I went to see you?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Thank you."

Zeld walked out the entrance where he came in when he offered a toast to Lamia.

Lord Rise.

As Rise brushes the scales of Cesar Pent and the others, Zeldo speaks from behind.

"Oh, is that Mr. Zeld?"

Having confirmed Zeld's appearance, Rise stops his work hand and turns back to him.

I have a slightly unpleasant eye for Cesar Pent, but immediately pretend to be calm.

"Are you okay with your body?

Not just Zeldo, but all the Lizardmans who were wounded by the battle with the demon, the cat humans, were seriously wounded without exception.

There were some people in a rather dangerous situation, but fortunately there were no deaths thanks to the treatment of unicorns and the restoration technicians in the town of Dexsi.

"Thanks to you. I can't fight yet, but I don't normally have a problem walking around"

(Exactly. Lizardman has a lot of vitality.)

Rise that wraps its tongue around the vitality of the subhuman.

In fact, few of the wounds they suffered could be fatal if they were human.

It could be argued that they survived because of, for one thing, their stubbornness as a species.

"I can fight again thanks to Lord Rise and the inhabitants of this town who treated me. This time you can't lose to that monster or anything! If the wounds heal, we're going to fight again."

Determination also reveals itself anew in the chest, Zeld.

This was also a statement of intent as his chief.

"No, because if you fight the next time, you will definitely die."

But Rise broke such Zeldo's resolve with Bassari.

"Yes, no, the next step is to take pride in Lizardman………"

"You can't win a fight with pride. The bow and the spear didn't work, so if you don't prepare a new weapon and think of a way to seal the opponent's overwhelming speed, you're not the only one who's gonna die, even your people."

Rise slams Zeld relentlessly trying to argue.

"Well, if you can get a powerful weapon from a human merchant………"

"There's no such thing as a weapon that works for the devil. If you can sell a fake one, you won't be able to recoup your money if you notice it later, but you won't be able to identify the human face you cheated on."

"So, Lord Rise brokered……………………"

"There are no such handouts, and soon enough the knights and churches of this country, and the experts I know, will move to exorcise the devil, so the devil will be exorcised even if all the Lizardmans don't move."

"Hey, what is it?!?"

Zeld panicked when he was taught the existence of those who move to defeat the devil by Rise.

"Yes, please! We have to take that monster down!

"Isn't that good if someone's going to knock me down?

"It's not, then it's no good! We are a family of warriors. It doesn't make any sense if we get our own home back!

Rise stared at Zeldo, who spoke fervently of his warrior disposition.

"But the Knights will be moving already, and even if we go back to the Jujiki swamp now, it might all be over. Everyone's wounds haven't healed when they return, and there's nothing you can do to damage them."

"So, what am I supposed to do!!"

and the tone of Zeldo, which was a palate to this point, changes.

"I have a duty to take my father's enemies as a new chief! I have a mission to do what I deserve as a chief!

Apparently, Zeld's tone up to now has been his performance as a chief.

(This one is more in the atmosphere now. Did you act like a sole because you couldn't lick it? It worked for us humans who can't judge by our appearance, but from our peers, what it looked like.)

"Lord Rise! Do you have any way to defeat that monster before the others do?

Zeldo, who exposed himself to the truth, makes a hard request not to demo.

Rise also laughed bitterly at me.

(I blew it again. Do you personally feel like you're moving with your sense of purpose as a chief? But there's no convenient way to do that. If there is, it is an act of anomaly and a piece of paper. No, I'll present that to you first)

"Okay. Let's take that request."

"Oh, Lord Rise, will you take it on!

Rise answers the joyful Zeld with his chest stretched.

"Yes, we will arrive in the swamp of Jujiki sooner than anyone else, and we will have the means at our disposal for Mr. Zeld, the chief of the clan, to dispel the devil!

"Ha ha, you're reliable, Lord Rise!

"Yes, so I'll take the reward apart! Of course, you'll get a higher reward than the last job you asked me to teach you how to hunt your kids. Yes, reply!

"Uhm! I got it!

"Then you have a contract! You'll get a good reward!

"…… hmm?

A little, no. He was a pretty weak-headed Zeld.
