Lasse, let's go eat lunch now!

　Lasse, who was engrossed in taking care of the demons, is approached on his back.
　When Lasse turned around, the girl Kara, the owner of the voice, was standing there.

"Oh, is it that time already?

Everyone in town is long gone for dinner!　Mr. Lise says you need to take a break, too!

　Kara scolded Lasse, which angered Pumphun.
　Having missed the demon's extermination at Jujiki's Swamp the other day, Kara has been staying in Dexhi town to find out more about what happened.
　In the course of her investigation, she had followed the newly appointed Lizardman Zeldo to ask him what happened to the demon's extermination many times.
　Each time, Zeldo would

"We've talked about it many times!　The battle was waged by Master Lasse's dragon, and I was only able to put an end to it!

　And Zerdo barely responds to Kara in chief mode.
　Normally, he behaves with the dignity of a chief like that, but he has a bad habit of revealing his true nature when he's in a temper tantrum.

　And every time, Kara would say, "There's a point in repeating it.

It's worth repeating. From the slightest discomfort, you'll build up more and more information about the demon!　There's no better way to defeat a horrible demon than with more information!

　Kara's argument was a valid one for a researcher.
　That's how much Kara's grandmother, Mitic, is wary of the demons that have appeared in the world as dangerous.
　However, if you look at Kara at other times, she seems to be playing around with the demons in Rise, so maybe she is trying to delay her return to the village by even one second.

By the way, how long is Kara going to stay in town?　Won't the people in the village be worried if you're late getting home?

　Lise to say a question that occurred to me.

That's okay!　I have asked the Harpy to send a letter to the village!

"When.

　I notice that the Harpy hasn't come to wake me up lately, Lasse .

I asked Mr. Dryad for help, and he took care of it.

Mmm.

　Lasse was determined to ask for more information later, after hearing something he did not know.

　.

"What?

　When Lasse and the others came to town for a meal, they found it noisy in the town.

What's going on?

　Lasse and his friends came to a crowded place and spoke to a nearby townsman, who was an acquaintance.

Oh, Mr. Lasse!　Just in the right place!　Your demons are being fought over by some strange knights.

What?

　He was about to ask what was going on, but was interrupted by a scream just before he did.

What the hell?

Prepare yourself, you evil fiend!

　You can hear the pissed-off lines coming from behind the crowd.
　Convinced that this is a bad situation, Lasse wades through the crowd and enters.

"Excuse me, sir. ......?

　And as he walked out to the front row of the crowd, Rise came across a scene where richly decorated knights were pointing their swords at their squires, the minotaurs.

"Wait a minute!

　Lasse to stop without knowing the situation.

"Huh!　Sir!

　When the demons saw Lasse, they let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you?

　The first knight looks at Lasse with a scandalous look on his face.

"There's the lord of the demons.

　Saying that, Lasse observes the knights.

(As soon as I appeared, she was unconscious of the demons. She didn't seem alarmed or put up any magical defense. Do you have enough experience in battle?　And the armor is too clean. There are few scratches and, most importantly, too much unnecessary decoration. What's with these guys?　Rookie of the Order?　(No, that wouldn't fit the age)

"You're this demon?　So, you're the lowly wizard or something.

!


　The demons are deadly before the knight's comment makes Lasse angry.
　But the knights don't seem to notice it.

There are some very incompetent demon users who leave demons in the city. It's just that the spirit of letting lowly monsters work for you is very lowly.

　They're going to say whatever they want.
　The townspeople are looking at the knights uncomfortably and the monsters are about to explode.

"Have you ever heard of a demon hunter named Lasse?　It's a crook who says he's going to use a dragon or something.

"Rise, is it?

　Surprised by your name, Lasse .

That's right. The reason we came to this dirty little town is to punish the crook.

"Well, what the hell did that guy do?　Who the hell are you people to begin with?



　When Lasse asks, the knights begin to introduce themselves, saying that they are glad to hear you.

"Hmph, you hear our names without identifying yourself, are you just a commoner?　But good. Chosen we are tolerant. I'll tell you!

　The knights flipped their cloaks and shouted loudly who they were.

We are the proud apostles of God, the Holy Knights, chosen by the Pope!　So is the Holy Knight!　It's not like those muddy knights and such!　We are an elite among the elite, professionally trained to slay evil demons!　Hahahahahaha!

　A holy knight who explains things he didn't hear.
　Maybe he wanted you to hear it.

"And I am Commander Edil-law!

"I am the Deputy Commander Saville-Ride.

"First Squadron Captain Reggie-Trust is in!

　The holy knights began to introduce themselves one by one.
　As Lasse saw the scene, he thought as he listened to the self-introductions.

(Are these guys church dogs? Maybe they've only been taught how to slay demons, so they don't have any real-world experience.

　Lasse is convinced of Edil and his team's inexperience in real combat because their armor is too clean.

"We came here to punish the fools who falsely reported that a demon was nearby and made the Holy Knights trample in vain!

　Perhaps she is talking about the demon that appeared in the swamp of Jujiki.
　Letty had reported to the Order, but in the end they had wasted their time because Lasse had solved the case before they arrived there.
　It's obvious that they would have come for revenge.

It's a hassle, but you'd better handle it right. You'd better deal with it.

　Exhaling inwardly, Lasse will take care of the holy knights.

I see. I know this man Lasse too, so I will be happy to show you around!

"Oh, you understand very quickly for a lowly wizard.

　Lasse's cooperative attitude puts Edil in a good mood.

But it's almost noon. Wouldn't you like to have something to eat first?　The special omelet of the inn there is a specialty of this town, and the taste is very good, so it's a great souvenir story.

"How?　You can't expect to taste it in a town this small, but it's a story. Let's eat.

　As a matter of fact, the holy knights were actually hungry, or perhaps they were guided into the store.
　Watching them, Lasse chuckled.

It's been a while since we've had fun with the arrogant ones.

　People who saw that smile would later tell.

"It was like you couldn't tell which was the bad guy's smile.

　...... and .
