I'm home. I'm back."

"Oh, welcome back, Ian. Where have you been?

"Sort of. What's going on?　Did the plaster get out?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sort of. That thing is huge. I tried to fight it, but it got away.

　It has been some time since the plaster that fought me fled into the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I kept my eyes open to see if he would come out again, but it seems he just ran away.

　We took turns keeping watch near the pit that Lassen had dug, and while I was resting, Ian came back.

　Ian had been away from the group for a while, saying he had some business to attend to.

　Ian had been away from the office for a while, saying that he had some business to attend to.

　I don't know where he went since I left him alone for a while.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But when he came back to us, he must have sensed what was going on, because there were more holes around us.

　They seemed to have recognized the plaster right away.

"Escaped?　The wounded plaster doesn't come back?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, yeah. Yes, but is there something wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... No, that's fine. Sometimes a wounded plasterer can be very vindictive. They can come at you from under the ground if they have the chance, so if you're going to fight them, you have to finish them off."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, hey, hey. I didn't hear you say that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Was I right?　Maybe I didn't tell you. Well, if they come back, just make sure you get them."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I heard that there were demons in the area, I was given a brief explanation, but it seems that there was something I didn't know about their ecology.

　I've burned a lot of people, so maybe they have a grudge against me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Will they come back to get back at me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I decided to continue to be vigilant about my surroundings, wondering if Ian was telling the truth, since I didn't think he had the intelligence to show such vindictive behavior on the face of it.

"I mean, did you really eat that?　Is it good?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that the meat of a clay eater?　They are dried in the sun after being killed to concentrate their flavor. If you cook them in a soup after they have been properly processed, they are quite tasty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I see. They're not as tasty as they look. It's a little unexpected."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's definitely better than eating the meat of those carnivorous beasts. I'll make you a dish if you beat it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, great. I'm looking forward to it.

　Ian and I discuss the deliciousness of demon meat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I hear that the meat is surprisingly good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From their appearance alone, I had assumed that they were useful because of the abundance of meat available, and that the taste was not as good as one might expect, but it seems that this is not the case.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But it seems not so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder how long it takes to dry that huge body to condense the flavor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wondered if they would not make it in the short time they would be here.

"Excuse me, Mister Ian?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I would like to ask you about the ......, the demon called Dokyuu, does that demon eat magic stones too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. The earth eater is supposed to eat the stone in which the spirit of the earth dwells."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Huh?　Wait a minute, Ian. You didn't say that. What do you mean?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What does that mean? They will naturally eat the stones where the spirit of the earth dwells. After all, he has a big body and a big mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ian, you're not explaining yourself very well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, he's a mercenary and a fighter by nature.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When you ask him about demons, it might be impossible to explain even their eating habits.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I didn't know that they eat spirit stones.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be so, but I am surprised to hear it for the first time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Let me check something, Ian. A mound eater eats the spirit stone along with the soil. In that case, are spirit stones their favorite food?　For example, is it possible that the earth plow often gathered in places where there are many spirit stones?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't know. I don't know the details. But I don't know the details, but I don't see any plow in the village of Atmos in other places. That means that the stones in which the spirits of the earth dwell are their favorite food, and that's why they might be living here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Demons lurk in the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this does not mean that the labyrinth nucleus creates demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, as an exception, the labyrinth seems to have produced demons called "magic soldiers", but that seems to be artificial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Anyway, when demons are in the labyrinth, it seems that they are usually attracted by the magical power of the labyrinth nucleus to live in the labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In that sense, I think that the plaster was favoring this place.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a labyrinth core called Atmosphere in this village of Atmos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now the labyrinth core does not exist.

　And the remaining magic stones have been taken by the Bryllian mage kingdom.

"Mister Lassen. Is it possible?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... seems to be the case, Lord Valka. We have now probed the earth with our magic. The presence of the stupefaction you saw earlier is moving through the ground and heading deep into the earth. Perhaps it sensed the presence of the magic stone at the bottom of this pit or something?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I knew it. Does eating a spirit stone heal wounds?　Anyway, it means that the plow is heading for a vein of spirit stone at a depth of 1,000 meters, doesn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think so. The vein might be eaten away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hmmm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I knew it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe they sensed the spirit stone that Lassen dug out of the hole and appeared in front of us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He wounded me and ran away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he must not have escaped for free.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like the plow is heading right down along the hole that Lassen dug.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let's hope Norn comes back safely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ask the gods to keep the magic bag from being eaten and digested by the big monster's big mouth.
