The team from Liberty Combe, the frontier city, arrived at the site of the old frontier village after the scheduled route.
　On the way, they were attacked several times by wild animals, but the task force, which was well prepared, managed to exterminate them without difficulty.
This is where we will set up our base camp. We have a base camp here, and our elite troops will guard the surrounding area, so follow me.
　Lilpop, the captain of the strike force, quickly gave orders to the troops that had just arrived and left for the outside of the old frontier village walls at the same time as the elite troops he was leading were assembled.

　The old frontier village was once a village built by the Royal Capital's Chamber of Commerce.
　Although the village had been filled with discovered veins of ore, these veins had fallen into disuse in the blink of an eye due to the fact that the reserves were far less than expected and had been abandoned.
　Originally, this area had been full of magical beasts, but thanks to the construction of the settlement village, the shadow of the magical beasts had disappeared, but now that the settlement village had been uninhabited for a long time, the magical beasts had already returned, destroying the settlement's walls and leaving behind thick traces of their roaming around inside.

　The elite unit led by Lil Pop was made up of personnel selected by Lil Pop himself from those serving as guards in the frontier city of Liberty Combe.
　Originally a resident of the magical world, Lilpop is a witch who specializes in combat.
　It's not just a matter of time before they are selected for this elite unit, as they are the ones who have been recognized by her, and being selected for this elite unit has become an honor among the guards, and there are many guards who have made it their goal to be selected for this elite unit.

　This time, there are a total of five elite troops being led by Lil Pop.
　In total, there are about twenty elite troops, and Lil Pop himself had selected those who were suitable for this mission.

　The woman of the human bat race, Van Beena
　The leopard girl, Windur.
　Hawk-Ear, a man of the human hawk tribe.
　Groba, a man of the Golem tribe.
　Mugana, the demoness.

　Vanvina has an excellent ability to use sound waves to assess her surroundings and is also a master of throwing knives.
　Windor is a master of the small blade and can run through the trees without slowing down.
　Hawkeye can see far beyond the reach of the Vambina's sound waves, and he is also a master archer.
　Groba is not only a master at reading the flow of the atmosphere, he is also a monstrous force to be reckoned with.
　Mughana is a master of presence and a first-rate swordsman.

　........and each of the five of them had a combination of top-notch abilities.

　Lilpop, who went out of the city walls with the five of them, was walking around the perimeter of the old settlement village along the walls.
''This damaged part needs to be repaired as soon as possible.
''That's good, that it is, because this area is filled with magical beasts roaming around, that it is.
　Beside Lilpop, Mugana was looking around with her hand on the sword at her waist.
　Beside her, Vambina also looked around.
''It's okay to be at ease right now. There doesn't seem to be any demonic beasts in the vicinity.''
　Vambina, who seemed to be spitting out sound waves all around her, called out to everyone.
　At those words, everyone except Lilpop let out a sigh of relief.
　Lilpop looked back over his shoulder at them all.
First of all, we must check the situation in the old frontier village. Let's see what's going on.
　The body position with a magic gun in both hands as it zipped along.
　Everyone was hurriedly chasing after Lil Pop's rear.

　Behind Lil Pop, Vambina was positioned directly behind him and continued to send sound waves around him.
　Groba and Windor guarded either side of them, while Mugana walked behind everyone, guarding them.
　Hawkeye continued to look around, using the wings of his hawk to fly over all of them.
　
　They all circled around the old settlement village area without breaking their formation.

''........There are more signs of demonic beasts approaching us than I thought, that I'm sure.
　When she finished circling around, Mugana took her hand off the sword at her waist and folded her arms while thinking about it, hmm.
　Beside Mughana, Lilpop was looking at the map of the old pioneer village that he had taken out of the magic bag at his waist.
　In that map, there were red X's scratched in several places.
''Mugana, is this the only place where there is a hint of that presence that has not been omitted?''
　At Lilpop's suggestion, Mugana turns her gaze to the map.
　After reviewing its contents for a while, Mugana
Captain, this is the right thing to do.
　He said, and bowed his head lightly.
　At Mugana's words, Lil Pop nodded back.
You are instructed to instruct the army of engineers to repair the wall around the area where the monsters are roaming. Groba and Vambina are going to be in charge of guarding the wall. Hawkeye circles above the settlement village to check the surroundings. Mugana and Windor will follow him.
　He gave crisp instructions to everyone and moved into the village.
''Yes,''
　They all replied to Lil Pop, and each of them did as they were instructed.

　In the square in the center of the old frontier village, the tents had already been set up.
　A simple fire pit had been built and they were ready to prepare a meal.
　There was also the site of a well in the square, where some people were testing the water to see if it was suitable for drinking.
'Ah, Captain Lil Pop, just in time, we need to discuss something with you...'
　One of the men who had been checking the well called out to Lilpop as he approached.
'What is the matter, sir?'
To tell you the truth, this well... seems to be running dry...
How long do you think you'll be able to keep the water you've brought with you?
'Well, I think we'll save it, like five days...'
Hmmm... that's a little disconcerting.
　Lilpop gave it some thought.
Hawkeye!
　He shouted into the sky above.
　Immediately, a Hawkeye descended from above.
'Captain Lil Pop, you wanted to see me?'
　In front of Hawkeye, Lil Pop unfolds the map in front of him as he says this.
It has become necessary to secure drinking water," he said. Hawkeye and Windor need to work together to find a safe way to get to this river.
　Saying that, Lil Pop pointed to a corner of the map.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
I'm going to see if there's a place for us to relocate our base camp if it's safe to do so.
"Ha.
Yes, sir.
　After bowing to Lil Pop's words, Hawkeye and Windor instantly ran from their spot and headed towards the river.
''Therefore, as for the water, we will wait for a little while. In the meantime, we will use our engineers to repair the city walls.
Okay. Let's assemble the engineers who are setting up the base camp as soon as possible.
　The man who had advised Lilpop of the water matter took Lilpop's words and once again made a short run towards the base camp.
　After seeing his back, Lilpop walked towards one of the wagons lined up nearby.
'Captain-dono, is there something wrong, that I'm not?'
　Mugana approached such a lillpop with a dubious expression on her face.
　In front of such a muggerna, Lil Pop let out a loud sigh once
"...how long have you been hiding, sir? ...though I must warn you, if that is how you intend to hide.
　He called out so to the wagon.
　Then, as if in response to the voice, the wagon shook a little, and Lil Pop's adopted daughter, Goopop, emerged from it.
