''Hey Window Flowers, don't you think Dark Kobold is rated too low?　For all intents and purposes, it's stronger than goblins and orcs, right?

If you go outside, they are weak, but in the tunnels, they are like the largest terrain effect unit. It's not as aggressive as goblins and orcs, so it's usually intercepted when they move into human habitat. In this case, it's easy to get rid of them.

'Oh?　Then why do you have a bastion this time?

In fact, we would like to take back the mine we occupied, or vice versa. In fact, we want to take back the mines we've occupied, or take them back. In this case, we have discovered that the dark kobolds have taken up residence in the abandoned mine and that they have found a new vein of ore. So, we've been asked to get rid of them.

　That's why I'm not too keen on it, even though it's a demon...

It's not worth the reward. I don't like the reason for it, and the reason for the increased difficulty of the request is because of that mercenary. Even if Palio-kun refuses the request, we won't lose credibility. Why don't we proceed to find another request?

　I thought that this would help me avoid the troublesome work, but the wholesaler wasn't so wholesale.

'That's why this client has become the Aigis royal family. The purpose is to create jobs for refugees. Stabilizing the refugees is a key issue for Aigis. Solving this would give us an advantage in the heroic investigation through Palio-sama's father.

　That's certainly important. However, the extermination of the Dark Kobolds, made more difficult by the siege. If it's a safe measure, it's a few months of troops. But I think that would throw off the set-up of our policy.

　That's why if we succeed in resolving the problem early, it will be a great achievement. It's difficult for an exterminator in a foreign country, but if Palio-kun's father is willing to talk to me, information about the divine tool 【Aigis Shield】. If things go well, I might even get permission to visit.

''I have no choice but to do this but I can't think of a way. If it's before the siege, can someone tell me what method to use to get rid of it, for reference?

　As soon as possible, Manya raised her hand. Dwarves are close to Dark Kobold and their survival environment. So it seems that they have more know-how than other human races.

I'll tell you what my father told me about the extermination of dwarves before the siege. I'm going to tell you what my father told me about the method of extermination before the siege.


If you want to take it away.

　First, they wait for the main force of the Dark Kobolds to go out to get food. Next, after the main force is far enough away, another body will seize the doorway. And the main force defeats the main force of the Dark Kobold. However, they don't stop breathing and capture them.

　After that, they leave the weakened prisoners of war in a place close to their homes and well away from their homes. Defeat more Dark Kobolds of the defenders who came out to help, and enter at the end.


★ In the event of an occupation.

　The tunnels are large and free of traps as they were originally made for dwarves and humans. As long as you get rid of them as soon as possible before they are reconstructed, there is no problem. The mine is large to begin with, so it is difficult to reconstruct, and the construction period is long.

　However, in this case, the mine was abandoned and left alone until a new vein was found. Therefore, there was enough time to reconstruct the mine. Therefore, the method of extermination seems to be appropriate when you want to take away the mine.


''In other words, if it was before the siege, we could have disinfected them the way we wanted to take them.......''

　Now I can understand how Palio-kun felt when he said [How dare you]. However, the first mercenary that messed with us was wiped out. If this is the case, they'll break the siege in the near future, right?　So I asked Anya about it.

'The thing is,' I said, 'this Dark Kobold is a speculation. We're going to go out to get food in a week or so after defeating them, but there's no way we can hold their exit on high alert. It's going to take me a month to let my guard down completely.　Well, it's faster than starvation.

　Construction can be delayed for a month. The refugees won't last that long, and we can't wait either.

"Even a month won't be good enough...

　Next, Midea spoke up.

'If Ryota's in trouble, there's a way to do it, just in case your father told you about it?　The Alp Exterminator's secret method of exterminating the caged Dark Kobold. We're told not to say anything else or use too much, but Ryota is family... can I teach you?

　Oh, you're the exterminator's daughter!　It's great to know there's a secret. The trustworthy demon exterminator in the Alps is awesome!

Come on!　We are in a bind. Now, Dr. Midia, please instruct me as soon as possible!

First, we need to find an old, lonely, weak wolf wandering around out there. He's got a lot of coughing, running nose, and diarrhea, and if he doesn't have blood in his stool, then he's going to be sick.

Window flowers, what's going on?　Is it important enough to stop in the middle?

[Yes, Ryota-sama. This could possibly violate the B of the Otherworldly NBC Treaty. It's a local method, so it's gray, but I think it's likely that active use is out.]

　What?　Close enough, but not quite?　

Yes, I'll dismiss it. I'm sorry, Miss Midya, but...
Okay, I'll say no.

'Midia, that method is forbidden by the Goddess. I'm sorry.
Okay. Your father said it was a cruel method, and I can see why the Goddess would forbid it.

　I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't think there was already a disease similar to canine distemper in Ares. They say it's less infectious than the real thing, but I'd avoid the NBC system.

'Dwarves have their own secrets, you know?　It's impossible to execute, but...
If Anya can't do it, does that mean it's going to be pretty hard to do?

　Even though they say it's impossible, I feel like clutching at straws right now.

'No, it's easy, but I don't have any materials around here...'
'Just tell me what to do, okay?　Maybe that will give you an idea of what's going on.

'I'll tell you if your husband says so, but we're going to pour birch sap and fresh wood into the Dark Kobold's water supply. It's toxic to them," he said. You'll get dizzy, can't stand up, and you'll go into a coma or a convulsion and won't be able to fight very well. But there ain't no birches around here, is there?

Window flowers, isn't that a C?　I've never heard of birches being poisonous, but...]

Well..... it may indeed have a beneficial effect on blood sugar. It's harmless to humans, but it's the look of a kobold. I'd have to ask the Goddess if it would violate the treaty, but I'm not sure...]

　Once I asked Goddess-sama about it, I asked Midia and Manya to leave. As soon as possible, Window Flower emailed Goddess-sama. The reply will come back via email or communication.

'Ryota, I checked your mail. As it turns out, it's possible. But if the matter is exposed, there will be accusations without charge, and the treaty will be added. We would like to avoid the revelation as much as possible. Please manage to get them to surrender and leave as few people as possible.

"....the active ingredient ... concentrated ... possible in small doses ... glucose ... oral insulin tablets ... with recovery medication ... after two days ... supplementation ...


We have a plan.

Guys, I'm going to announce our mission. Listen up.

1A. Manya and Windowflower search for the source of an underground water vein and dig a small well in a place where it will not be discovered by the other party. Their tools include an improvised boring device, powered by an armored car.

2A. Once the well is completed, the window flower measures the amount of water. He calculates the amount of injection to prevent death. As soon as the active ingredient arrives with the supply, it is poured from the well. 2B. After the well is completed, Manya helps and guards Windowflower.


1B. Me, Midia, and Mog scavenge for food as much as possible. We will hunt, gather, buy, and prepare as much as possible, cheaply and inexpensively as we can.


2B. Midia returns to scouting duties with Mog again after the concentrate pouring begins. Contact me as soon as the entire Dark Kobold becomes symptomatic as Anya suggests. I'm going to buy and build as many carts as I can.


3. as soon as the Dark Kobold's combat power is lost, I will begin recommending surrender. The messenger is a non-corporeal mog. I will negotiate with the target in spirit language, and Midia will speak through the mog. I also support the negotiations with firepower manifestations on my end. However, I take great care not to collapse.

4. final stage.

　If you surrender, we'll transfer the dark kobolds to another location. In addition, the food will be transferred to them. If they don't surrender, they will be exterminated. Finally, we'll burn it all to the ground and destroy the evidence.

That's it.


*The well was finally completed after the operation was launched.
