A story I told the chief.

　The home country is an island nation and is not good at magic. But on the other side of the sea are all powerful countries.

　Steep mountains and rough seas. They have managed to secure their independence with the legacy of the old civilization and their own technology.

　However, it is far from safe. That's why they are always looking for trade and technical exchanges with many countries, as well as reliable allies.

　Just then, a rumor reaches the king that there is a successor to the old civilization in the far west.

　The king immediately organized a survey team and I was sent as one of the investigators.

　We headed for the continent of Ares by ship, but we were caught in a storm and wrecked a short distance later. We managed to drift ashore near here.

　Now that I'm a survivor, I'll do whatever it takes to get back home.

　At the same time, I want to do some research for my home country now that I'm here.

　That's all.

'Hmm, actually the inhabitants of the village are not very good at magic. But the technology is more interesting. And if you're going to trade with them, do you have the goods?　I need money, but few peddlers come to buy it, so why not trade if you have a tool that could be useful?

　I thought I'd need some cash on the frontier, but the logistics seemed to be worse than I expected. I tried to figure out what I had leftover supplies that weren't too technical.

　There's not a lot of metal products in the settlement, this one is good for providing metal tools and a small amount of salt. The requirements are food that will last, knowledge on how to hunt and edible wildflowers to deal with dangerous creatures and help with the journey. Now I've got a suggestion.


'Metal tools and salt!　I would love to trade with you and provide you with some food as well, since you are in short supply. I'll send a hunter and demon exterminator to help you with your knowledge. He's good enough to be sent to far away places, isn't he?　I'll even give you a reward if you slay the demon?

That's very helpful, I'll prepare the goods as soon as possible. Your guidance is also very helpful, I'm ready for battle and I'll do my best to get rid of the demons as well.

　First of all, I gave him a personal crafting knife, Higo no Kami, as a thank you for the accommodation and acceptance. The amount of iron is small for this kind of tool, and it's not technically difficult to make.

　It's a short-bladed tool, but in this village it's bronze at best, and the steel is of high quality, made by dwarves. Even the crafting knives were made of quality steel, so they were quite pleasing.

　A stingy but second investigator. According to Toshiaki Hino, halves and hybrids (mixes) are often discriminated against and have a low social status. In some parts of the world, the beast race is treated as a hybrid between humans and animals.

　As a result, they have never been treated favorably and are wary of tasty stories. Therefore, it was best to trade with them.

It's an excellent piece of steel, I don't believe it was made by man. You can't get copper around here, but you can get iron, so we made ironware, but it rusted easily and broke easily. It's difficult to find something of this quality that is worthy of farming tools...

Well, then, how about wooden farm tool tips?　It's quite different, isn't it?　After use, polish well, apply tallow oil, and store in a dry place. This will keep it almost rust free. Oh, and I'd like some village iron.

　If the tip alone was steel, it would be much easier to use than a full wooden farm tool. Chou was afraid to buy the iron, but when he heard that I was a gunsmith and used it for gravel, he was convinced and the deal was done to his satisfaction.

We were both satisfied with the deal. By the way, we believe that internal qigong is a form of bodywork, and external qigong is a form of magic. Oonaka-dono's fingers are also finger puppets, but they are also external qigong. There are many internal qigong practitioners in my village.

I'm not going to be able to use it as a guide, but I'd be happy to show you some of our technology.

　The chief was enthusiastic and immediately set up a target board in the embankment and began to gather everyone together.

　Is there not a lot of entertainment?

　I pulled away from the target and a thud went up. It must have been an unusual distance for a finger shot. Then I raised my P229 pistol and fired twice in a row (double tap).

　The target cracked perfectly.

　Since the bullets are steel, they are lighter than lead and less powerful at long range. However, it is a hard steel core with enhanced firing pressure, although the percentage is unknown. The penetration power is excellent at close range.

"I didn't know it could penetrate through earthen mounds... was it just to show off your skills?　Isn't that an ingenious tool to hold in your hand?

　Grabbing was OK; the second shot was noted for extra and window flowers, but the hunter was paying attention. But the fact that some of them could somehow see the trajectory of the bullet is frightening.

''Yes, the qi of the finger bullets is diffused, but the special tube concentrates it on the gravel to increase its power. Because it concentrates only on the gravel, it's difficult to detect the air. Also, the tube is designed to keep the gravel flying straight. However, it requires more work to process the gravel into tubes.

I thought it was a mage's staff, but it's a maze of logic.

　Thanks to this, the quality is trusted, and the chief has agreed to collect iron and food for us. Over here, I'll use that time to make the promised farm tools, though, the automatic creation of window flowers. The hunter also reassured me that [I don't need an escort] and approached me.

''I'm Simon. I'm a hunter in this village, but I'm the official demon exterminator of the Alp Guard Country, you know?　Nice to meet you.

　The Alp Guards are located in a country close to Switzerland, if you compare it to Earth. A demon exterminator is a mercenary who mainly deals with demons.

　The Alpes Guards are also the nation's mercenaries, and they are trusted by the state. On the contrary, cheap mercenaries are prone to problems and often run away or do random jobs.

　After the greeting, Simon showed me a metal plate. It's formatted like a driver's license, with zeros and blanks underneath the letters, and fingerprints instead of a photo. The plate is finished by a professional with a thumbprint on it using a metal corrosion solution, and the manufacturing process is confidential and difficult to forge.

　But I was surprised to know that the fingerprints can be used to identify a person. However, the size of the fingerprint is much larger than the driver's license. The issuer, of course, is the Alpes Guards.

　The reason for the license is that the Alp mercenaries are branded by the state management. Therefore, in the past, there have been many scams that deceive the Alp mercenaries. Brant's credibility has fallen. It seems that in order to restore that trust and prevent a recurrence, a license that is difficult to forge has been developed.

'So you were a demon exterminator, it's nice to have someone who knows about demons to guide you. With all due respect, I was surprised. It seems that this was an affluent village, so rich that it could have state-approved mercenaries.

Well the sooner I introduce you to my daughter, the better. This is Midia, Mix, nice to meet you.

I'm Midia, nice to meet you, I'm good with my bow and kicking skills. I work hard and I want something for you too...



It doesn't matter what species you are, as long as you are friendly to your country. I can get you something in return for your instruction. But you mustn't do anything rash.

　Mr. Simon, did you notice that your daughter is begging for something from a man you don't know?　I think it's best to educate her to make sure she's educated before she falls for the wrong man.

　According to Simon, he settled in a mixed settlement with no humans for his daughter.

　His wife is half Dryard (nymph) and half rabbit-beast man. So, Midia is a mix of dryad, rabbit-beastman and human.

　The Dryad race in this world attracts men and takes them as companions and binds them to their lives until their lives are over. This made them wary of them, and it seems that after a long period of man-sunshine, they have developed quite a bit of s*xuality.

　One day, for his sick mother. A rabbit-beast boy dressed as a woman and went to pick medicinal herbs, but he was found out. He was kidnapped by Dryad, a severely shorty-conscious man's favorite daughter, and the one who was born was Midea's mother .

Don't you want to get rid of it?

I care about the man I hold captive, and he's not a demon. He's just a normal elf species, so he's not a target.

I'm not so sure about that. 'I'm grateful for the vegetation manipulation and the weakness of the spirit arts, as well as the strength of my legs,' he said.　I've never seen your grandfather and your grandmother before.

　He's a strong kid, if a little unsympathetic. She's only 16, but apparently she's an adult at 15 by local standards.

　Some old men like schoolgirls, but I don't like them. In a crowded train, I put my hands up to keep my distance so that I won't be accused of something I didn't do. And the topic is sappy.

　Midia is a beautiful girl with a slender upper body but an attractive ass and thighs. In Japan, she seems to be popular, which makes me even more wary of her.

　It helps that she's cheerful and friendly even to old men... Be careful of the smell of aging.

I'm going to go to the place where we can get iron while checking the magical pool. In the meantime, we should camp, hunt and trap, and teach you about wild plants, medicinal herbs, and demons. That should take about 4 days. I'm sure there's about as many goblins as there are goblins, but I'm sure most of the hired mercenaries are cleaning up, so it's not too dangerous.

　A morden pool is a place where harmful morden builds up and is favored by demons. There is a danger of becoming a demon if it stays there for a long time. A human who has been turned into a demon loses reason and is called a demon.

　And Simon's face when he talks to the mercenaries is stern. Even if he has a good reputation with humans, it doesn't necessarily mean the same for the mix, as independent villages have no state protection. Of course, the mercenaries themselves will lose credibility if they behave in a problematic manner.

　Aside from that, I got to meet the sub-race, and it's starting to feel like a different world!

　Maybe next time you'll finally get some real-world experience!



Capture the depiction of Midea because it's hard to tell due to the mixed species.

　Midia's race is a mix (multi-species hybrid or mongrel), with a Dryard+Rabbit Beastman mother and human father. Dryad is a beautiful elf species, like elves. She has frizzy hair from her grandmother's heritage but dark green hair, and long ears from her grandfather's heritage. He looks like an elf at first glance.

　However, due to the influence of the rabbit-beast, the tips of their ears are longer and rounder than those of the elves, and their ears are not sharp.

　The other differences are their legs and face. Because of the mixture of races, they are not perfect like dryads and elves, so they are beautiful but friendly. But with their robes, it's hard to distinguish them from elves. Their legs are long and slightly thick, and they have stronger legs than humans.
