"There's a demon!

"Run!

"d*mn!　Finally, you've invaded the village, you demons!

　When Lasse and his friends finally arrive at their destination village, they are shocked by the sight of the Kraken and find that the villagers are in a panic.
　It would be strange if they didn't panic if a giant squid appeared in a mountain village.

Minna!　I've got your medicine!

　The fledgling people stopped moving when they noticed a familiar face on the end of the Kraken's outstretched leg.

Is that ...... Kara?

Kara?

How could Kara be riding a demon?

　Kara waved her hand innocently, unaware of the villagers' confusion.

　◇

So I've got the medicine!

　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends and family.
　You can find a number of different types of shoes for you to choose from.

　He said

That's why it's called .......

　After hearing the story from Soid, the villagers finally relaxed their shoulders, seemingly at ease.

I've heard of this story before. I've heard of the demon hunter ......, but I didn't know he could use such a huge demon ......

　With a mixture of fear and curiosity, the villagers gaze at the Kraken's greatness.

'But more importantly, the medicine is here!　We have to get the medicine to the priest soon.

Hmmm, yes. I'm sorry, my guest, but could you give me the medicine first?

Yes, sir. But since the pills must not be vibrated, we'll carry them to the priest's house. We can't come in here and ruin the pills.

"Mmm, no, but the temple of the priest is a sacred place, and so are the ...... demons.

　The villagers have difficulty in seeing the Kraken.
　They don't want demons, even if they're used by humans, to come near their sacred place.

What do you mean?　Mr. Klar is a very good squid!　I wouldn't have made it this far without Mr. Klar!

　Kara is incensed by the villagers' attitude.
　It seems that she has grown quite fond of the Kraken during her travels.

"So I am the Kraken, not Mr. Kraken.

　The village of the valley is filled with the voice of the Kraken's stunned, half resigned, as if to say it's too much trouble to correct him.

It speaks!

This monster can talk?

　The villagers are surprised to learn that the giant squid has spoken.
　But that can't be helped. It's because demons that can't communicate with demons are more common than demons that can't communicate with them.
　Demons that are intelligent enough to communicate with humans often keep their distance so as not to get into a quarrel with humans.
　That's why the demons that are hostile to humans are more easily recognized.

Ms. Klar is very handy!　It's so awesome that even cliffs and waterfalls can carry the pills without shaking them!　If it weren't for Mr. Klar, I wouldn't have been able to bring the medicine in time!

"Wow, okay, okay!

　The villagers are finally defeated by Kara's barrage and allow the Kraken to enter.

(What?　(You easily backed down for refusing to accept that this is a sacred place where the priests live.

　Seeing the scene, Lasse felt a slight sense of discomfort.

　.

"Priestess!　Kara's got the medicine!

　As Lasse and the others enter the temple where the priests are said to reside, Kara screams loudly and runs to the back.
　Suddenly, however, a figure appears in front of Kara, blocking her path and dropping a spectacular clunker on her head.
　It's a sharp blow that makes the viewer want to hold his or her head.

Hey, Kara!　I always tell you to be quiet in the temple!

　A woman of strange age, much like her, appeared in front of Kara.

Yippee!　I brought the pills!　What if you forget, Mom!

If you forget, the people who brought you the medicine will not forget, so don't worry!

　Apparently the woman was Kara's mother.
　When Kara's mother stepped in front of Lasse and the others, she thanked them profusely.

I'm Kara's mother, Tatomi. Thank you for taking the medicine all the way out here. And how can I thank you for bringing the stupid girl as well?

"Terrible!　It's like I'm baggage!

Shut up because it's true!　You guys, deliver the medicine to the priest.

"Yes!

　The men of the village quietly carry the boxes of medicines unloaded from the Kraken.
　It was obvious what would happen if the medicine was left with Kara, so they decided to have a young man from the village carry the whole box.

Now we will ask the priest to take the potion, and then you can wait in the parlor.



　Although similar to Kara, the behavior of an adult, which is completely different from Kara's, made me feel an irritating sense of unease. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

　◇

　After that, Lasse and the others waited in the parlor for a quarter of an hour.

Haha, Priestess, you've already taken your medicine, right?　Why doesn't anyone come?

　Kara, who was also waiting in the parlor, tilted her head, shuffling her feet.
　She had tried to go with him to the priest's quarters, but Tatomi had kicked her out to attend to the guests.
　Of course, it was obvious to Lasse and the others that Tatomi didn't want to be bothered by the sick man's presence.

Well, taking the pills doesn't mean they'll work right away. Let's be patient.

　Soid hushes Kara with the luxury of maturity.

"Yes,

　It's a sight I no longer know which is the guest.
　And so some more time passed.
　Five minutes passed as time went by?

...... It's not like the pills didn't work, right?

　Cara lets out a sigh of relief.
　The expression on her face is an uneasy one, a complete contrast to her previous carefree appearance.

I have talked to various doctors and priests based on the priest's symptoms that I have heard about, and I have brought you the medicine that I believe is effective. So there is no guarantee that they will be effective. But since we could not find any other medicine that may cure Priestess's disease other than that one, let's wait and believe that the medicine will work.

　Apparently, even the soid that prepared the medicine can't guarantee its effectiveness.
　I guess that's how rare the priest's illness is.

　A quarter of an hour had already passed when the door to the parlor opened.
　It's Kara's mother, Tatomi, who has come in.

Mother!　Did the pills work?

　Kara jumps to her feet and asks Tatomi, "Did the pills work?

Shut up!　That's what I'm here to say!　Listen quietly!

　Tatomi, who gave him a hard slap in the face, suddenly softened her expression.

"Don't worry, the medicine worked.

"............!　～～～～～～! !!!!

　Kara's expression changes dizzily, as if unvoiced.

"............-YAH, YEAH!!!

　Loudly shouting and frolicking Kara.
　And this is the one time that Tatomi doesn't scold Kara, but gently watches over her.

"Mom, I'm going to see the priest!

　As soon as she said it, Kara ran out to the back of the temple without hearing Tatomi's reply.

Be quiet in front of the priests!

I know!

　Kara ran at full speed without looking back.

"You don't really know what you're doing,

　Exhaling a sigh, Tatomi gave a gentle smile.
　And by the time she turned to Lasse and the others, her expression had already changed to a serious one.

''I've already thanked you, but I would like to thank you again. Thank you very much for saving our priest's life.

　Tatomi bows deeply.

"No, no, we did it on the job, so there's no need to be coy.

　Soid urges Tatomi to raise her head in a calm voice.
　But the expression on her face is very calm. Maybe this man is a very compassionate person.

　Tatomi raised her head to follow Soid's words and continued.

"And now, I was told by the priest that he wanted to thank you all in person.

"Huh?

"Please come to the back room.
