I heard that all the high-ranking adventurers who went to investigate Grubal were wiped out?"

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

Sure, there were rumors circulating that he was returning home late, but...

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

Were they all wiped out?

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

Don't be silly. It's all right. They've been in touch. Well, I heard things weren't going too well."

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

That doesn't sound like it means it's okay. ......

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

I know it doesn't mean it's not okay. If you can't get in touch with them after that, you need to be prepared."

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

Well, yes.

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

But we have to do something. So far it seems to be only approaching the town, but there is a high possibility that it will try to come into the town sooner or later.

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

Oh, yes. Well, I think we're still okay for the time being.

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

Hmm?

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

The druid's slightly strange reply makes the master look doubtful.

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

I almost tilt my head for a moment, too, but then I remember Ciel.

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

He probably thinks that as long as Ciel is around, we'll be fine.

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

But if they attack us in numbers, no matter how strong Ciel is, there's a chance we'll be beaten.

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

So I hope they will not take it too hard.

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

I wonder if there isn't anything you can do?　How do you put Grubal back together?"

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

It's hard to say.

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

At the master's words, the druid sighs.

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

By the way, you mentioned that there was once a demon that suddenly went berserk.

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

Um, I'd like to ask you something.

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

What's wrong?　Something on your mind?"

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

'Yes, your mentor said you had a similar problem in the past, how did you resolve it then?

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

Oh, I'm certainly curious. Master?"

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

When I looked at the master, I saw a great wrinkle between his eyebrows.

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

His eyes are sharp and scary.

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

Was it a question I shouldn't have asked?

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

Oh, that's the thing. It said 'burned' the 'demons that died in their lifespan' I spoke of earlier."

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

Burned?

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

That's kind of funny.

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

What the master said earlier was, 'The demon went berserk because it ate a demon that died in its lifetime.

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

If they must have eaten them, how could there have been corpses to burn?

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

Does that mean there were a lot of demons that died in their lifetimes?

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

Um, is that decent information?"

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

Oh, can it be false information?

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

It was authentic information because it was a document left by the village and it was well signed.

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

Signed literature?

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

It's something that has been censored and proven to be true information.

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

In other words, there really were demons that died in their lifespan and went berserk.

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

Come to think of it, why did I bother writing this?

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

What's up, Ivy?"

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

Mr. Druid, who apparently saw me tilting my head, asks.

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

'Well, why did they go to the trouble of writing 'died of longevity'?

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

Hmm?"　Well, that's because that's what the facts are, isn't it?"

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

I did, but I didn't feel the need to write it. Rather, why don't you write down the names of dead demons or something?"

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

I am more interested in what this demon is than in the demon that died in its lifespan.

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

If we know what this demon is, we can pay attention to it.

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

That's for sure.

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

Oh, you're absolutely right."

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

'Master, didn't it say what kind of demons they were?

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

There was none. In the literature, there were two cases: "Demons that ate demons that died in their lifetime became violent and attacked the village" and "Demons that died in their lifetime, the violent demons were calmed by burning them. This solves the problem.'"

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

Huh?

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

"You didn't even have the name of the demon who went berserk?"

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

Oh, it didn't say that. Well, that's a very skimpy piece of literature. I don't know how they kept such records."

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

Yes, it is. If we didn't know the name of the demon, we would have written down its characteristics in detail."

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

I haven't read the literature, so I can't say for sure, but is the writing style still a little strange?

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

But the fact that it went through the censors means that someone who knew it at the time signed off that this was the right thing to do.

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

In other words.

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

"Are you saying that lifespan is more important than the type of demon?"

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

Huh?"

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

Hmm?

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

Why are we both tilting our heads there?

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

Well, if it is a signed document, then there must be something important in it, right?

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

Ah, the literature contains much of what we have learned in the past that we believe will be useful in the future. Characteristics of demons and how to defeat them. As for the higher level demons, there are also stories about what happens if you mess with them.

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

It's an important source of life-giving information."

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

I didn't know it was that important.

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

I guess it's even more important then, that it's longevity," he said. Maybe the reason I didn't name the demons was not because I didn't know, but because the same thing could happen to other demons.

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

Other demons?"

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

If I write that it was Grubal who died a long time ago, then Grubal would be the only one to watch out for. But if other demons besides Grubal who died in his lifetime cause the same phenomenon, it would be dangerous to be careful only for Grubal.

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

I see, so by not naming the demons, you're targeting all of them."

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

I see. Druid, this guy's pretty smart."

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

Master, it's rude to refer to Ivy as this guy.

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

You're still the same.

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

Your words are a bit messy, Master, but I don't particularly care for them.

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

I guess it's because it somehow matches the atmosphere.

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

So what are you going to do?"

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

What?　What is it?"

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

Mr. Druid and I tilt our heads.

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

Master, too few words.

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

'What do you mean, Ivy went to a lot of trouble to give me this information. Why don't you tell Gothos?"

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

'Ah, yes. I'll tell Gilmouth."

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

I may be imagining things, but are you okay?"

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

If it were Mr. Gilmouth, I'm sure he would make the right decision.

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

Sorry to give you useless information when you are busy.

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

No problem. It's his job to gather all the information and make a judgment. Besides, I think Ivy's information is necessary.

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

Ivy said, "That's right, Ivy. But I feel like this information really should have gone unnoticed by the master, though."

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

What the hell are you talking about, I brought you the information. That's enough.

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

Um, what's enough?

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

Master, I don't like your excuses.

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

What the hell is wrong with you?

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

I wonder if he admits that he doesn't say anything about excuses?

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

I manage to suppress the urge to laugh.

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

It's going to be tricky to get involved.

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

To calm myself down, I turn my gaze away from the two of them a little.

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

What's that?　Mr. Gilmouth?"

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

I looked away and saw a very flustered Mr. Guillmuth.

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

Ah, he came into the plaza.

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

Is he looking for Mr. Druid?

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

That's all now."

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

I'm not sure what to say. You've come to say that a lot, haven't you? You used to run around in the woods crying like a baby.

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

I'm not crying. At all.

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

Um, Mr. Gilmas is here. Isn't he here on an errand for Mr. Druid?"

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

At my words, their gazes turn to Mr. Guillmuth, who is coming toward us.

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

Geez, I knew it!

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

Mr. Gilmouth's expression in his voice, which sounded extremely uncomfortable.

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

Ah, this is the same reaction as the druid from a while ago.

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

Hey, how are you?"

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

The master's eyes, the eyes of prey, or whatever you want to call them.

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

I would certainly run away as fast as possible if I were to see him with these eyes.

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

Why are you here? Someone said something stupid about seeing the master, so I came to see if I could get to the bottom of it with the druid. ......"

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

Mr. Gilmouth's gaze turns to Mr. Druid but is gently averted.

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

I guess Mr. Druid doesn't want to help because he has already been through it.

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

Hmm?

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

Well, Mr. Gilmas, you can't look at me like you're hanging on to me.

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

Go for it, Mr. Gilmas!"

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

Ivy abandoned me."

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

No, because.

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

Because I don't think I am the right person to be your playmate, Master.

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

You're a terrible person, that attitude toward a master you haven't seen in a long time. Don't you think so, Gothos?"

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

Go for it, Mr. Gilmouth!
