"Oh, you're back. Did you have a good time?"

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

When I left the cave, the vigilante who saw me off as I entered waved me in.

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

It was fun."

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

Ariras was quite happy to learn from his father how to move and fight in the cave.

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

Haha, that's good to hear. I can exchange the magic stone I dropped for a gift certificate here.

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

Of course I'll exchange them!

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

Leelia-san gives the 13 magic stones she collected to the vigilante.

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

I'll give them to the neighborhood watchman.　Is there this many?

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

The vigilante who received the magic stones tilted his head when he saw them.

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

Does "this many" mean that there were more demons than usual?

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

Or maybe there were more demons that dropped?

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

Which is it?

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

More demonic stones than usual?"

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

The vigilante nodded at his father's words.

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

'Yeah, this is the first time I've brought more than 10 when I was on duty. How many demons did you find?

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

The guard nodded, "Eleven demons by the time we got to the far end of the cave, and fifteen at the far end of the cave. On the way back, there were 13 demons. And the demons at the innermost part of the cave were a little too strong for a lowly adventurer to handle.

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

What, you mean there were 39 demons?　And strong demons?

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

The neighborhood watchman sounds surprised at his father's reply.

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

From his words, it seems that more demons appeared today than usual.

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

And there were no demons that dropped magic stones on the way there.

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

Oh, by the way, I killed 11 demons before I got to the deepest part of the mountain, but they didn't drop any magic stones.

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

Not all demons drop magic stones or magic items, so I didn't pay attention to that.

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

Was it also an unusual thing to talk to the vigilante?

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

He said, "It's strange. Do you know what that strong demon looked like?

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

It looked like a field mouse, but much bigger, about 130 cm tall.　Also, it had a long tail with a very sharp point at the end, and it moved very fast.

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

That's probably a chutar. It is a demon that has never appeared in this cave before. How could it be ...... like this?"

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

The vigilante tilted his head and touched the magic item he had placed by his side.

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

He then reached into the basket beside him.

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

One hundred dollars will buy you two skewers of meat.

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

The lower level adventurers must be happy to have this cave because of the low commission rates.

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

Maybe the beginner's cave is to support the lower adventurers who earn less.

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

Thank you."

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

Leelia happily accepts the gift certificate.

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

In a quiet voice, she says, "Meat and sweet," so I'm pretty sure she's going straight to the food stall on her way home.

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

What's up?"

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

I look behind me at the voice I hear.

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

The presence I had felt a little while ago seemed to be that of a new member of the neighborhood watch.

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

There are a lot of demons here," he said. Also, Chutar is out, so check inside for a bit."

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

Chutar?　In this cave?

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

Yes.

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

Listening to the conversation among the vigilantes, I realized that the new vigilante had come to check the cave.

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

If anything out of the ordinary is found, you immediately check to make sure.

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

That's a lot of work.

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

Don't go. If I find anything unusual, I'll let you know right away.

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

I watched as the vigilante entered the cave.

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

I hope everything is alright.

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

Thank you for your report today.

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

The original member of the neighborhood watch bowed to us in a small bow.

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

No problem. I hope everything is all right.

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

The neighborhood watchman nodded at his father's words.

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

The cave appears to be stable. The caves seem stable, but sometimes they change their faces so drastically that it's scary. Well, I think we'll be fine.

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

I see. Thank you for your help today."

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

I bowed my head to the neighborhood watchman at my father's words.

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

Please come visit us again."

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

The neighborhood watchman waves me off, and I wave to him and Leelia.

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

Maybe it was because he was dealing with lower adventurers, but he was a good-natured guy.

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

'Okay, meat, sweet, and soup!

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

Leelia-san stares happily at the gift certificate as we leave the cave for a bit.

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

'You can't buy that many, can you?'

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

At the sound of Mr. Tanrath's exasperated voice, Ms. Leelia cowered her shoulders.

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

I don't think so," she said. You are free to think what you want.

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

I am sure you are.

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

Ivy, what can I buy you?

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

Leelia-san looks at me.

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

"Hmmm, Ivy can decide, can't you?"

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

Because it's the first time you defeated a demon by yourself, isn't it?　It's a celebration. Well, I'm not the one who made the money."

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

Oh, so they knew that you and your father were secretly happy.

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

A little embarrassed, but happy, though.

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

Thank you very much. But let's all decide together what to buy."

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

It's the victory gift of the demon we all defeated.

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

Really?"

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

I nodded with a smile at Leelia-san, who tilted her head.

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

Yes.

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

I see. In that case, let's each buy two gift certificates for whatever we want, and let Ivy decide on the other three.

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

With everyone's approval, Ivy receives the five gift certificates.

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

What should we buy?

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

Something we can all eat together.

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

We return to Ocanco Village through the back gate and walk along the main street, looking at the food stalls.

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

What is it?

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

There seem to be a little more people than yesterday, or is it just my imagination?

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

Whoops.

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

Oh, shoot.

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

The flow of people makes me feel a little distant from everyone else.

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

If I don't do something, I might get separated from the others.

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

This way.

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

Ah!

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

I thought I heard a familiar voice, and then I felt a tug on my arm.

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

I glanced at the person who was pulling my arm and saw Aliras-san with a wrinkled brow.

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

I was in a hurry because you suddenly disappeared.

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

'I'm sorry. I was careful, but I was swept away by the wave of people.

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

I see you. Can I hold your hand?

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

Yes, you may. Thank you.

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

Aliras-san squeezed my hand.

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

Come to think of it, this is the first time I've held the hand of someone other than my father.

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

I walked with Aliras-san on my back, avoiding the waves of people.

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

You are very good at avoiding people.

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

I think you're really good at it when you walk with your father, too.

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

Yes.

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

He is walking between people.

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

You just have to watch how people move and you'll figure it out naturally.

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

That's what your father once told me.

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

He said that if you watch people's movements, you can anticipate what they will do next and avoid them.

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

I also observe people well, so I can anticipate a little.

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

That's why I hit them when I think I can avoid them.

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

Well, you will be able to do it sooner or later.

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

I hope so.

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

Ivy."

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

I raise my hand at the sound of my father's impatient voice.

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

I wish I had grabbed his clothes from the beginning.

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

I'll do that next time.

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

When we met up with everyone at a place a little off the main street, Leelia and the others looked relieved.

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

I've made them worry.

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

I smile and nod at Leelia.

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

'Yes, I'm fine. Mr. Ariras came to me right away.'

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

If it weren't for Mr. Ariras, I would have been swept away by more people.

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

Yes, he really did save the day.

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

It seems there are more adventurers here today than there were yesterday."

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

I looked toward the main street at Leelia's words.

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

It seems I was not the only one who felt there were many.

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

Oh, they're back.

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

Leelia's gaze fell on Mr. Tanrath.

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

He had gone to investigate the cause of the increase in the number of adventurers.

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

I found out," he said. It seems that demons have appeared around the farthest cave, and all adventurers outside the village have been ordered to return to the village.

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

The farthest cave?

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

There were rumors of a cave overflowing with demons, but is this different from that one?
