We leave the dumping ground and return to the village.

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

Close enough."

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

I nodded to the druid's words.

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

The village is really close to the dumping ground, as you can clearly see on foot.

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

We can search for signs all the way, but it is hard to find people who are not very attentive.

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

If they move, I can find them because the signs flow, but if that distance is short, I might miss them.

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

The stronger the vigilante guys and the stronger the adventurer guys, the more they can mask their presence. It's tricky."

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

Off the main street, we walk toward the inn, picking our way through the sparsely populated streets.

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

What shall we do?"

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

I'll have Sola and Flem stay as close as possible, with either me or Ivy by their side. The one who is available for Sol will stay by his side. And as soon as someone approaches, put them in the bag. That's about all I can do. It's also important to keep everyone as close as possible.

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

I think Mr. Druid is right, by staying close by, we can respond quickly.

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

I think it would be a bit cramped for everyone, since the range of activities would be limited.

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

I agree."

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

Ciel should also stay by my side in his slime form. Come to think of it, Ciel was quicker to notice the presence of others.

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

Yeah.

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

If Ciel had not told me, I would have been much slower to respond.

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

I will ask Ciel to let me know if anyone comes."

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

Okay, I'll ask."

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

I was a bit relieved that a general response had been decided.

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

It's not perfect, but I think I can handle it for now.

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

All right!　For now, that means I can follow Sola and Flem or Sol on foot."

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

Well, that's the way it is. Come to think of it, one of the vigilantes noticed the magic."

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

Yeah.

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

He said big magic power, so he must have noticed Ciel's magic power.

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

Ciel, who has a lot of magical power, had me hide him so that he would not be found out except deep in the forest.

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

How could he have noticed?

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

Maybe he has magic perception skills."

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

"Magic perception skills?"

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

It's one of those rare skills. I can sense hidden magic. Depending on the number of stars, I can also measure their strength and distance. It's very reliable when it's in your company, but it's tricky when it's the other way around."

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

It would certainly be dependable if it were one of us.

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

'Well, we'll see about the vigilante. If he gets suspicious, we'll explain or give up the festival and leave the village."

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

Yeah."

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

I don't have a choice in the matter.

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

I wonder how much magic they detected.

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

I think you said you felt a great deal of magic.

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

What's wrong?

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

If you felt the magic, why don't you check my bag?"

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

Ciel is in the bag as slime.

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

Or is the magic different when he is in Adandara and when he is in slime?

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

'That's what I'd say. ...... nobody's after you, right?"

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

It's okay. I've been looking for any sign that he might have seen us, but he didn't seem to be following us at all.

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

All of the vigilantes earlier in the day were not very attentive.

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

So I paid attention and followed the signs many times, but they were headed deeper into the forest, not to the village.

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

So it's okay.

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

It reminds me of the vigilante I met earlier who was aware of the magic.

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

He seemed to be seriously concerned about us returning to the village.

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

I don't think that was an act.

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

For now, we just have to be careful."

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

I guess so."

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

Can Ivy sense Ciel's hidden magic?

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

I can't."

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

Come to think of it, I wonder how everyone feels about magical power.

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

I tried reading a book about magic power, but it was useless because it was all about compatibility with magic items.

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

I think I have a hard time feeling magic power, maybe because I have weak magic power.

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

Maybe.

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

How do you feel magic power, druid?　I'm not really sure."

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

You don't know?"

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

Yes," he said. If you don't care, you won't even know if you have magic."

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

That would be."

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

There are magic items with magic power all over the town. It would be difficult to live if you had to feel every single one of them, wouldn't it?　So that's how it is for all but the most sensitive."

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

Is that so?"

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

It's something you take for granted, so you don't recognize it unless you're conscious of it. How about in the forest?"

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

The forest?

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

It's true that when I read a sign, I feel the magic power with it.

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

Come to think of it, I think I naturally understand what kind of strength demons have at that time.

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

Does that mean you subconsciously feel the magical power and know what strength it is?

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

When I feel a presence, I naturally know the strength of the demon.

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

Then there's no problem. That's normal.

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

What's that?

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

Some adventurers can't sense magic at all, just like I can't sense any presence at all.

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

Eh, that sounds like a lot of work."

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

I can't believe that you can't tell the strength of a demon by its magic.

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

How do they deal with it?

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

One of the legendary adventurers couldn't feel magic. He was such a great student that it was said there was nothing he didn't know about demons and animals. He probably compensated for his inability to feel magic by accumulating knowledge."

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

I see, so he was responding to demons by using the information in his knowledge rather than judging the demons in front of him by looking at their magical power.

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

That's amazing.

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

There are so many demons and animals.

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

I don't know if it's true or not, but it is said that he was the first person to write a book on the ecology of demons.

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

That's great. Are you famous because you wrote a book?"

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

No, he is famous because of his amazing swordsmanship. He is one of the most admired adventurers in the world.

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

Magic sword?

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

Did the adventurer have magic powers?

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

How can you have magic if you can't feel it?

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

It is said that the person's magic power was quite high, just not felt.

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

I thought it was just a little bit of magic, so I couldn't feel it.

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

Oh, that's not true.

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

If I thought that way, I would be one of those people who cannot feel magic.

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

Magic is a mysterious thing.

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

There are no stores around here.

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

The druid looks around, so I look around with him.

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

We had been exploring the village off the main street, but apparently the stores have been cut off.

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

'I guess so. Shall we head back to the inn soon?"

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

I'll do that. When we get back to the inn, we'll make traps until supper. For now, let's make a trap of the usual intensity and see how it goes."

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

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

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

Yeah, it's fun.

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

But first, I have to write a fax.

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

Oh, me too. I'll just write it down as I see fit."

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

I wonder about that.

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

Mr. Druid's father might be okay with it, but I'm sure his mother and sister-in-law would go in on it.

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

Speaking of which, I'd love to introduce Mr. Serpent to everyone, but I can't.

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

It seems like faxes can be read by someone.

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

I guess I don't have a choice.

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

..................

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

"Have a good day."

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

I'm off."

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

The innkeeper, Mr. Chikkar, sees me off as I head for the commercial guild.

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

Today's schedule, after sending the fax, the next step is to go to the dump, follow Sol and the others around for their meals, and finally set the traps and that's it.

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

The location of the trap is very important to increase the success rate of the trap.

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

I hope we can find a good place.

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

Speaking of which, what's going on?"

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

Mr. Druid asks, tilting his head.

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

I am sure he wants to ask me if I wrote about the Serpents.

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

I just wrote, 'I met some new friends deep in the forest.

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

I see." I can't write as it is, can I?

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

Yeah.

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

No way, I can't write that we all made a big trip through the forest on top of Mr. Serpent and his friends.

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

Even if I didn't, it would be a rumor.
