A few days later, just like that.

　When Pina's living conditions were in order, Kishina, the Citadel Free City State, came into view in the distance. But it was not yet within the Kishina territory. It was at such a delicate distance that they found a commotion.

　A carriage off the street was being attacked by a large bee. Was that a type of demon too?

Hey, hey, that bee, it looks like it's about six inches long, do you know who it is?

　It's a big bee, so from a distance it looks like a swarm of bees on a model carriage.

Oh, that's not a demon, that's a giant bee. They're common in the tropics, but they're quite rare around here.

　As expected of Dr. Midia, a demon doctor. Before she settled in the Mottled Forest, she traveled with Simon-san on a wandering journey, so she knows a lot about the creatures in various places.

''I found it in the library's data. It's an alien species from the Scorching Hot Continent and seems to collect nectar from fruits and large flowers. The advantage of this is that if you're a weak demon, you can repel it on your own.

What's more, the horse is down.　And the carriage is grinding away at it. What do you think, mister?

Pina, honey. I like honey.

　It was a mistake to ask the question without naming names.
　It's hard to hear as each person speaks up.
　I'm not the Prince of St. George, am I?

Rescues. But if you pull a gun on someone, it could hurt them.

　Cork bullets are few and far between, and the bees are of a delicate size.
　It looks dangerous to get close to them, even with bulletproof clothing, and if they swarm, they'll sting you through the cracks.

'Ryota-sama. "Ryota-sama, I think it would be better to keep the bees away from the carriage with a smoke bomb first, and then destroy each one.

　That would be easy and quick to do. But the only thing that's missing is the shooting - a 30 cm target that's flying around?　Honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to hit him.

That's my cue!　Huh, today's saiga is bloodthirsty.　I'm going to wipe you out with a bird shot (small, loaded shotgun)!

　If you're shooting birdshot shotgun shells, you'll hit them, but will you get close enough?
　And do insect bodily fluids go into the blood?

Manya's favorite is the Saiga 12 shotgun, which has a large recoil. Even so, she has a high degree of control due to her strong power, and she can carry a large number of magazines. She uses various types of ammunition in each magazine and uses it dexterously according to the situation. Shooting and changing magazines are both familiar to her.

Pina, I'm good at beehunting. I'll let you know.

　How hard can it be with a gun?　Pina can still scout and assist.
　If Windowflower tells her to do something, she can ignore it, right?

I don't want to take any chances.　For now, I left the smoke ball throwing to Midea. I'll try to aim at it from behind with my MP5.

'I only have three smoke balls left, okay?　Buy it when you get to the city, okay?

　Quickly, Midea starts throwing. She uses a spoon like throwing aid to throw the smoke balls one after another long distance and they fall beautifully around the carriage. Eventually, the three smokeballs smoldered and the bees took their distance.

　The bees' air gates seem to be strengthened with magical power, and their air intake is highly influenced by the smoke. But my shooting was too much. I was able to drop a few of them because they were frozen at first, but after they were dispersed, they didn't hit me at all.

'Landlord, Pina, I'm going!'
Pina, wait!　Those bees are so big, their stingers are dangerous!

　Pina dives into the swarm of bees without any hesitation at all ... could it be that she has a special ability to not get stung like a bee bear?

Mister, I will save Pina. Let's go!　Rush!

　You're in danger too!
　Your old man's gonna die of worry, okay?

Hey!　Come back, you two, it's not safe to come back!　We can hide in an armored car!

　But the results were awesome. Pina used spirit magic to create a whirlwind and toy with the bees. Furthermore, she sent her vacuum blade flying to one-sidedly exterminate the bees.

　.........Guns, we don't need them.

　Manya skillfully puts up a barrage of bullets. A continuous firing speed that is unbelievable for a semi-auto. The flowing exchange of magazines is an art form.

　She's more stable than I am, even in continuous fire... she doesn't falter in the face of firing recoil, and she maintains a stable firing position despite her small stature. The first time I fired the 12-gauge, I hurt my shoulder from the recoil.　It's just that I didn't position myself correctly, but...

"Ryota, what should I do, I haven't been active at all.......maybe I'm an unwanted child.......
It's not like that at all!　The smoke balls were awesome, and the opponent isn't a demon either!

　If I'm a girl who doesn't want Midia, then I'm going to be a distraction!

'Ryota-sama!　Pina has found the nest!　Honey and beeswax!　It's sweetness!

　Seriously!　That's a lot of money off the employee's sweetener bill!　But window flowers. Is there anything else to prevent rust except beeswax?　It's quite a pain in the ass to polish each bullet?

　I left the few remaining bees to Midia and Manya, while I pulled the rear car and followed Pina to pick up the hive.

　The hive was in the ground with lots of decaying wood. With Mog's help, we neutralized it with smoke and heat from a smoke bomb. Most of the bees seemed to be headed for the wagon, and it was surprisingly easy to get rid of them and dig them out easily.

'Footprints in one of the hive's entrances and exits... probably because someone in the wagon went into the woods to piss and stepped on one of the exits.

　On the way here, we found traces of him peeing his pants and running away. So I made this prediction.

This is another big nest. But let's not take it apart with an armored car, it will be sticky with honey.
Female dancer in a bathing suit and a solution... Just kidding. We'll get a contractor from Kishina.

[Tch, I thought you'd agree with me because I'm a muzzie!　Yeah, it's a waste of money.

　Since he's the Lord (Aruji), I can hear him even if he's talking in small talk..................Window flower-kun. The Lord is a gentleman, and suspicion of muzzling is a terrible thing, right?　How did you come to that conclusion?　I think we need to talk about this and clear up any misunderstandings.

"Pina, the beehive, my favorite food, lots of food.

　

We'll cook it. I don't want you to eat it right now, okay?

　There are beehive dishes in Japan, but I've never heard of eating them raw. Being an otherworldly creature, I'm extra worried about it not being cooked. But the size - is there a way to cook it or something?

　When we returned to the carriage, treatment had begun. A few of the guards were slightly injured and no one died. However, the one who was stabbed looks painful due to swelling and pain, the others have only bite wounds. The maidservants know the healing magic and are healing them.

"Do you represent this party?

　After quite a bit of thought, one woman came to me. Midia is a hurdle because she looks like an elf, and the window flower is her spirit. Manya looks like a boy, and Pina is a wingman and a child. I'm a middle-aged man by process of elimination.

''My name is Ryota, I'm the representative of the Extermination Division. I'm sorry for this mishap, are the guards injured?

'Yes, I've heard it's okay. You must be Ryota-san, thank you for your help in this matter. My name is Dionne Kishina, Diplomat Kishina, and I'm Dionne Kishinau.

　The daughter of the mayor of Kishina, of all people. She's helping her parents with their diplomatic work.

　Kishina is at the crossroads of the road and is one of the largest of the free cities. It's independent, but its wealth makes it an easy target.

　As part of their diplomatic strategy, they have received knighthoods and posts, like regional governors, from neighboring countries to protect their independence. Because of this, it seems that diplomacy is difficult to coordinate and negotiate with other countries.

　For the time being, we'll be towing a carriage and rear carriage to the Citadel Free City of Kishina. We are a very chaotic group of people, including Easterners, elves, bad boys, child wingmen, and spirits.

　But the exterminator's license comes in handy at times like this, because we have the guarantee of the Alp Guard State. And an exterminator who wanders around the country. Even if you have a lot of different faces, you still have some excuse.

''Everyone!　Be careful not to reveal the secrets of the armored car!　Then let's go.

　I helped the mayor's daughter, so I can expect to be treated in Xina, a good pick-me-up. Well, it's close, but it's in tow, so let's head out at a slower speed, shall we?
