"I didn't know there was an entrance hidden in this place.

　Lasse was standing at the entrance to an undiscovered ruin that the demons had discovered.

"I didn't think it was an entrance disguised as a tree.

　Lamia is nodding admiringly.
　As she said, the entrance to the ruins was disguised by a tree that hid the ruins exposed on the ground.
　The first to notice was the cockatrice brought in as a small fry countermeasure.
He was a demon famous for turning those he saw into stone, but he also liked to eat fruits and nuts as well as meat.
　The cockatrice eats its prey after it has been turned to stone.
　You may think that it doesn't have a taste when it's a stone, but Lise knows from the diet that the organ that senses the taste of the cockatrice can sense the taste of the stone.
You will find that you can get a great deal more than you expected.
You'll be able to use it as a guide for the demons that are exploring the ruins, but the enemy wasn't coming and he didn't have time to waste.
You are the only one who can make it to the top of the mountain.
　This revealed that the tree is also a fake, and by examining it, the hidden entrance to the underground was revealed.

If only Mr. Dryad or Trent had been there, the disguise would have been immediately apparent.　

"Uh, yeah. You should have brought one of them with you.

　The dryads and Trent are plant demons. Therefore, their presence would have revealed the fake tree right away.

"Since Bael's apostles couldn't find it, do you think the adventurers who came to these ruins decided to bring it back with them?

"But the adventurers must have kept this site a secret so as not to be misunderstood?

Demons are spirit life forms, but they can gain a body by taking on the inhabitants of this world. If you think about it, maybe the demons aren't relying on their eyes and ears, but they see something else.

　In fact, there are animals in the world that have better ears and noses due to poor vision. Snakes, for example, had the ability to detect heat using an organ called the pit organ.
　Lasse decided that perhaps the demons also had something like that.

"Okay, well, let's go underground.

　As Lasse is about to enter the entrance, wordlessly Lamia comes hugging Lasse's back.

Oops.

　Naturally, Lasse's back will be pressed against Lamia's two ample bulges.

"Master Lasse, what are you going to do if you're the first to go into danger?　Shouldn't the strong ones go into the small and dark places first?

"Uh, yeah...

　Lamia nails Lasse's careless behavior with a smile that never smiles.

"You need to take better care of yourself, Lasse-sama.

"Okay, okay,

Then I'll put the Kobold ahead of you.

"Yeah, I get it. Come on, Kobold.

　The Kobold comes forward at Lasse's direction.
　The Kobold is not much of a fighter, but he can see in the dark, and he is able to see minerals.
Because of his preference, he thought it would be easier to find the magical treasures hidden in the ruins.

If you feel in danger, come running!

"Okay, boss!

　The kobold who lives in the herd recognizes Lasse as the boss of the pack.
　Perhaps that's why his language is so vile.

　The kobold enters through a disguised doorway into the basement.

Then, a few tens of seconds later, the kobold jumps out and runs away.

Cha-cha-cha!　

Welcome back. That was fast.

　Lasse threw a few words, but Kobold, with his ass on fire, was having none of it.

'Hey, someone needs to digest this for me.

　At Lasse's command, the Kelpie releases a stream of water onto the Kobold's ass.

"Whew. Thank God.

Falling to the ground in a butt-pounding pose, Kobold lets out a cry of relief.

"So what happened?

　At Lasse's question, Kobold jumped up and began to talk.

That's right!　I walked in here and went down little by little. And I walked for about 20 meters. I saw two huge stone statues when I walked that far. One with a sword and shield and the other with a staff.

"Maybe.

　As if to affirm Lasse's premonition, the Kobold recounted what happened there.

"Then I got close and all of a sudden the statue started to move!

"Golem.

　Golem, popular among wizards and adventurers, is a moving inorganic object made of magic.
　They are the number one enemy you don't want to encounter in undiscovered ruins. 　
The technology to create a golem does not exist today, and only golems that have been moving since ancient times are the only existing golems.
And many ancient golems have their own unique abilities, so there was a high chance that the information obtained from other golems would be useless.
Therefore, it was not uncommon to be wiped out if you encountered a golem that contained a horrible magic item that was a first-time killer at worst.

Really?　A golem attacked us out of the blue!　A guy with a sword brandished a sword and attacked me, and when I dodged it, a guy with a wand magically hit me with a fireball, and here we are!

　Then Kobold showed his scorched and frizzy ass hair.

Yeah, I'm sorry I gave you the short straw. I'll have the unicorn fix you up later. We'll have some good meat for you today.

The ministry.

"Well, let's see what we can do about that. Will you be able to get into this narrow entrance, be able to act in the dark, and have the combat power to fight against a golem?



　Lasse looks at the demons and gives them a difficult look.

"Who to take: ......
