Adventurers."

I had predicted it from the way the signs went off, but it was one woman and two men adventurers who appeared.

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

I apologize for the interruption, but we are the adventurers of the Okanui Village Adventurers' Guild. We are Arashi, members of the Adventurers' Guild of Okanui Village. I am the leader, Gallus. Behind me are my friends Ebas and Ars. You guys are ......."

I gently peeked at the person named Mr. Gallus.

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

For some reason, I could sense that he was very nervous.

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

I look at the fathers, tilting my head at them.

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

......That was scary, wasn't it?

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

Yeah, silent intimidation?

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

Why?

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

"Just one question first. What's your connection to these guys?"

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

Mr. Zinal points to the six people lying around.

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

I was investigating the activities of those six men at the request of the Adventurers' Guild. Are those ...... alive?"

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

Mr. Gallus looked at the six people lying on the ground and gave them an indescribable expression.

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

'Don't worry, they're alive. Are you requesting me or ......? I'm Jinaru from "Wind. Next to me are Feiche and Druid."

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

The three of them looked surprised at Zinal's words.

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

Are you the one from that 'Wind'?"

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

Mr. Ars looks at Zinal and the others with a little excitement.

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

'That one?　But ......."

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

A man named Mr. Ebus looks at his father with a curious expression.

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

I am sure he knows that none of the wind members are named Druid.

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

'I have a little business to attend to, so I'm separating from Garit. He and I hit it off when we worked together, and now we're traveling together."

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

You give out information so easily.

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

Did he think he could trust the three of us?

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

I look at Mr. Zinal.

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

He's certainly smiling, but that's not ...... trusting.

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

I wonder.

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

Are you testing me?

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

Hmmm, it's really hard to read the expressions on both Mr. Zinal's and Mr. Fiesche's faces.

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

'Do you guys know anything about this garbage?'

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

At the father's words, the three of them showed a momentary expression of embarrassment.

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

That means they do know about it.

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

You mean you knew about it and left it there?

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

You knew about it. Why did you leave it alone?"

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

Mr. Zinal's voice lowers, as if he is unhappy.

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

The three of us shook our shoulders.

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

'Um, .......'

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

Mr. Gallus opens his mouth in confusion, but quickly closes it.

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

The three of them looked at me as if they were staring at me.

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

The three of them, staring at me, stiffen and avert their gazes.

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

They are trying to make the demons run amok--"

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

''No, sir!　That is absolutely not true!"

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

Mr. Ebus hurriedly denies it at Mr. Fiesche's words.

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

But as long as they are leaving a lot of garbage in the forest, I can't believe them even if they deny it.

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

'It really isn't. We were planning to collect the trash as soon as their guilt was established."

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

Once they are found guilty?

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

If they left a lot of trash in the woods, that would have been a crime, right?

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

Didn't we think about catching them for that?

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

'Wouldn't we have caught them over this garbage?'

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

'Yes, but ......'

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

Mr. Ebus's voice loses momentum at Mr. Zinal's words.

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

He knew they would catch him, but they didn't catch him and let him swim.

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

Maybe they wanted to catch him for other crimes?

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

But what was he going to do if he left a huge amount of trash in the forest and the demons went berserk?

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

Whose orders?"

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

'...... Gilmouth, sir.'

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

Galsu-san who answered to Ginal who let out a sigh becomes smaller.

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

'Now Gilmas of Okanui Village must be a fool.

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

Mr. Ars tries to open his mouth at Mr. Fieshe's words, but Mr. Ebus stops him.

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

'Um, it is said that it takes a considerable amount of magical power for a demon to run amok. So this much is ......"

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

Mr. Gallus stares at Mr. Jinal.

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

He's kind of working very hard, but what is a considerable amount?

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

Even though there are still many things that have yet to be clarified about the relationship between demon run amok and garbage.

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

Is it?"

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

Eh?"

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

Mr. Gallus sounded surprised at Mr. Zinal's reply.

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

So, what is it?

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

So, if it's just a little ......

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

Are you serious?

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

You believe in unsubstantiated information, and you think it's okay to leave a little bit of garbage in the forest?

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

I looked at Mr. Gallus, and he seemed to be serious.

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

Mr. Ginal lets out a big sigh.

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

I know exactly how he feels.

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

If you are an adventurer, don't trust only one piece of information.

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

Mr. Gallus is puzzled by Mr. Zinal's exasperated voice.

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

Both Mr. Ebus and Mr. Ars have similar expressions on their faces.

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

There are researchers who advocate that a large amount of magical power is indeed necessary for demons to run amok. But there are also researchers who say that garbage magic power and demons' magic power are incompatible, causing them to run amok. Other researchers say it is because changes are occurring in the magical power over time, while others say it is because the magical power of the garbage affects each other and is changing. The theory that there is a large amount of magical power is the most popular, but there is no evidence. Moreover, there have been reports of demons running amok, which cannot be explained by this theory. If you are an adventurer, don't believe information without proof.

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

At Mr. Zinal's words, the three of us show a puzzled look on our faces.

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

Don't tell me you really didn't know about the other information?

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

If so, that's a bit of a problem.

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

Nyah!"

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

Ciel's voice next to me made me turn my gaze toward the cliff with a steely expression on my face.

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

I looked toward the cliff to see what was there, but couldn't find anything of particular interest.

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

I searched for a sign, but could not catch anything.

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

Something is wrong, there is no sign at all."

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

Even the signs of small animals and small demons that I had sensed just a short while ago were completely gone.

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

This is unusual.

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

What should we do?

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

I turned my gaze toward Mr. Zinal and the others.

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

Ivy, come here."

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

At the sound of my father's voice, I run from behind the rock toward him.

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

Out of the corner of my eye, I see Ciel running toward the cliff.

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

What?　A child?"

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

I heard Ebus's surprised voice.

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

As I went below my father, two demons jumped out of the woods behind the rock.

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

I couldn't read their signs!

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

They're running amok!"

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

Perhaps reacting to Mr. Zinal's voice, one of them jumped on him.

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

Mr. Zinal stopped the claw of the attacking demon with his sword and put his hand on the demon.

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

The next moment, there was a cracking sound, and the attacking demon fell to the ground and stopped moving.

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

Oh, no!　Druid!

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

Feiche's impatient voice made me look over and I saw the demon coming toward me.

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

The father pointed the sword in his hand at the monster and thrust it straight ahead.

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

The demon moved to dodge the tip of the sword, but when the sword glowed red, the demon was engulfed in fire.

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

Don't just stand there, get ready!"

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

Mr. Gallus and the others, who were stunned, heard Mr. Zinal's yell.

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

"Yes, sir!"

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

As they hurriedly readied their weapons, their father glanced sideways at them and let out a sigh.

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

Are you okay?"

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

Dad looks at me with concern, wary of his surroundings.

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

I'm fine."

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

With my father's protection, I turn my gaze toward the forest.

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

In the distance, I hear the trees swaying.

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

It might be Ciel.

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

"You look okay."

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

After a while, when the swaying sound of the trees was no longer audible, Zinal-san lowered his sword and let his guard down.

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

'Huh, what a surprise. Druid, my bad. Are you all right?　Ivy, too."

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

I'm fine.

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

'I'm okay too.'

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

Mr. Fieshe smiled a relieved smile when I told him that his father and I were fine.

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

'Why is it that there is no sign of the demons ......?

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

It is well known that the sign of a runaway demon is quite thin, isn't it?"

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

The first time I saw him, I thought he was a good man.

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

Oh ......."

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

Did I forget?

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

I'm kind of unreliable.

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

Rustling, rustling.

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

The sound of trees rustling is heard suddenly, and everyone readies their weapons.

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

...... seems to be all right. The presence is coming back.

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

Hm?　A sign?

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

Ah, speaking of which, a presence is returning to the forest.

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

I couldn't feel any sign earlier.

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

Thank God."

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

Speaking of which, is Ciel, who ran into the forest, okay?
