I left the weapons shop and went hunting for orcs in the nearby forest.

　I wanted to test the weapon's performance, but something unexpected was happening right in front of my eyes.



　The orcs in a group were being hunted by the orange-antes with a single shot.



　Of course, defeating them was not unexpected.

　Orange Ant is a stronger demon than orcs, and my auxiliary magic is also working on it.



　But what surprised me more than that was the strength of the Orange Ants with their weapons.

　Up until now, they had been reasonably strong in ordinary battles, despite their cute appearance, but their movements were dramatically different now that they had weapons.



　Moreover, they were able to use the weapons that I had taught them so easily without any difficulty.

　They showed their skill in fighting with swords and bows, and although Orange Ant C's tonfa and E's nunchaku were a bit confused at first, they were able to achieve good results even against orcs.



　E's nunchaku, in particular, was so erratic that even the orcs could not react to it.

　The unfamiliar weapons were a hindrance to the unskilled user, but when used by a skilled one, they were very effective.

　It was as if banging their heads together in the arms store had been a lie.



　They must have a natural talent with weapons.

　In addition to that, there is the teamwork of the orange-antes.



　The battle was over in a flash as I watched in admiration from start to finish.

　E killed the last orc, and in an attempt to look cool, he swung his nunchaku so hard that it hit C directly on the head, and because of the change in trajectory, he hit his own head with the nunchaku as hard as he could.



　C and E were crouching down and holding their heads as if it hurt them more than the orc attack.

　I felt sorry for them ...... because they were getting carried away and gave them some restorative medicine while patting their heads.



　Orange Ant A comes to me with a sword and pulls on my clothes.

"You want a restorative?"

　Orange Ant A nodded his head fully.

　What is it?



　I look at Patra and she points to the top of her head.

　Hmm?　You want me to pat your head?



　I stroked her gently and she hugged me happily, then Orange Ant B and D lined up, and for some reason C and E who I had stroked earlier also lined up.

　They all seemed to want to be praised, so I stroked their heads until they all got bored.



"That's great, guys! I didn't expect you to become so strong just by holding a weapon.

　The orange-antes are so happy to be praised that they high-five each other and then clash arms with each other. Their joy has evolved.



　After retrieving the orcs, I was about to return to the city when a voice came into my head: "The holy beast wyvern will be born soon.

A sacred beast wyvern will be born soon. Do you want to make him your friend?

　A wyvern?



　I had put the wyvern egg in the box garden, thinking I would use it for something later.

　I remember Mr. ...... Skybird was trying hard to keep it warm after that.



"Hey guys, I think there's going to be a wyvern baby in the box yard, so I'm going to go in the box yard for a minute."

"Okay!"

"Okay." "Okay."



　When we all enter the box yard, Mr. Skybird comes flying toward me.

　He is trying his best to appeal to me.

　He seems to be in a panic.



"The wyvern eggs are about to hatch, aren't they? Thanks."



　He nodded his head and immediately led me to the wyvern eggs.

　When I arrived, the eggs were already cracked and some of their beaks had emerged.



"Hang on, we're almost there."

　As if responding to my voice, the egg gradually cracked.

　It was a moving moment.



　The little beak from the egg gradually broke through the shell and .......

　With a great deal of effort, the wyvern broke through the shell by itself.



　They are wet all over and unable to stand up properly, but they are strong enough to survive.

　Once one was born, wyverns were born one after another.



　There were 10 wyvern eggs in total, but only three hatched this time.

　The others have not been born yet.



　Some of the shells are slightly cracked and some are not responding at all, so we will have to wait and see.

"Patra, can we trust the orange-antes to take care of the wyverns?"

"Patra, are you sure you want to let the orange-antes take care of the wyvern?　I'll take care of them all together.



　As I answer in my head that I will let the wyverns join us, the voice plays again.

The wyverns have joined our group. You can choose up to three locations and facilities.

　Pond (middle)

　River (middle)

　Sea (small)




　◆Shed (enlargement)

　Box garden expansion

　Fruit trees (banana)

　Fruit trees (banana)

　Mine (small)

　Mountain

　Hot spring



　What to add this time? When I was thinking about it, I found hot springs at the end of the list.

　Hot springs are very attractive. I remember the magic to cleanse the body, but there is nothing more refreshing than a bath.



　I choose a hot spring, a mine (small), and Patra's favorite fruit tree (banana).



　In an instant, a hot spring is built on a hill overlooking the box garden, fruit trees are planted at the edge of the field, and the ground rises to form a cave a short distance away.

　I guess that cave is a mine.

　I can't wait to see what they can mine.



"Lucky, I'd like to go to that cave over there."

--Aiyo--

　We go to the cave, which is a little far from the house but a short ride in the Lucky.



　When we entered the cave, we found iron ore-like stones lying here and there.

　As expected of a small cave, the depth of the cave is narrow and it seems that not much can be extracted, but if we expand the cave, we may be able to extract something better.



　The more the number of followers increases, the more the garden will develop, and it will be fun to manufacture weapons in the future.



　We can customize our own weapons and make armor that suits our personalities.

　Hmmm... My dreams are expanding.



　However, that doesn't mean that we will make any demon our follower.

　It's important to have fun with everyone.



　When I returned after my rounds of the caves and hot springs, I found that Gargoyle and Patra were taking care of the newborn wyverns in various ways.



　My followers are truly a caring bunch of kids.

　The wyvern children were wrapped in warm cloths and sleeping peacefully.



　I guess they were tired of coming out of the eggs.

　I'd like to take a quick dip in the hot springs while I'm at it, but I feel bad about it while the ...... other followers are working.



　I'll ask the orange-antes who are available to help me dismantle the orc meat.

　If the guild does the dismembering, they charge a dismemberment fee, but if the orange-antes do it, they don't have to pay the fee, so it's quite economical.



　I also asked the orange-antes if they could check out the mine, since I only had a quick look at the inside of the mine. You can sell some of what you find in the mine, or you can use it if the orange-ant has a use for it.



　I asked my friends to do the rest and went back into the woods with Lucky and Shannon.

　The box garden is only accessible from where I entered.



　My friends can only leave from where I am, no matter where they enter.

　This means that I must be outside when I move.



　When I returned to the forest, the sun was setting and it was already getting dark.

　Well, there's nothing to be afraid of at night with Lucky around.



"Well then, Lucky, Shannon, let's go home.



　As we were approaching the royal city through the forest, Lucky suddenly called out to me.

--Rock, what's that? ----

"Which one?"



　What Lucky was looking at was the area around the common cemetery in King's Landing.

　It was a bit far from the center of the city, and he had never heard of many people approaching there at night. But there is a blue light fluttering up and down in the ...... common cemetery.



----I wonder what it is? ----

"Shall we go and have a look?"

----I wonder if it's a ghost.

　Lucky looks excited and happy for some reason.



"I'm not good with ghosts."

"Do you mind if I go back to the box yard?"

"No, it's important for me to test my sword against the undead. Besides, Mr. Locke will protect me if anything should happen.



　Shannon trusts me, but I've never seen a ghost before.

　Still a little scared, Shannon twined her arm around my hand.



　I'm more nervous than the ghost.



　In cemeteries, if the grounds are not well maintained, sometimes the dead are turned into zombies or moving skeletons.



　I believe there were some moving skeletons in the request.

　I don't think there is anything missing or dangerous, but you should be careful.



　When we arrived at the cemetery, the blue light was already gone.

　The blue light had just disappeared where the gravestone of the great sage Domorte is located.



　Sage Domorte was a woman who contributed greatly to the development of this country.

　She is said to have been a legendary woman in many ways, not only for her intelligence, but also for her translucent white skin and her appearance.



　She was a legendary woman in many ways. She was kind and ladylike in character and contributed to the country throughout her life.




　Some call her the "Great Sage," while others call her "Lady Sage" because of her personality.



　Among the many legends she has spun, the most famous is the one about her negotiations with the Devil King at the Devil King's Castle.



　Domorte the Wise, sensing the danger to her friends, went to the Demon King's castle by herself and made the Demon King promise a truce with the Demon King's army, which was in constant trouble at that time. This has led to the peace we enjoy today.



　The details of how the truce was concluded and the details of the negotiations were kept secret and have never been revealed. However, according to one theory, since no information was leaked even from the Demon Lord's side, it is said that he may have brought the Demon Lord to his knees after a fierce battle.



　The truth remains in the dark, as Domorte never talked about it during his life.

　The story was now so famous that the bard wrote a song about it.



　After that, we searched for a while around the grave, but the blue light never appeared.

　Shannon's mentality was quickly reaching its limits, so we decided to go back to the city and report to the guild. When we arrived at the guild, we heard yelling from inside.



　What the hell is going on?

　I don't have a good feeling about this. And that voice is .......
