These demons are my friends. They won't hurt you. I want you to feel safe.

There's no way I'm going to believe a word like that!

　She was a very, very stubborn girl.
　If I tried to move even a little bit, she would say, "Don't move! You're a demon! And then he bared his teeth to show his hostility. Well, no matter how sharp the arrows are flying, I'd be able to catch them.
　Still, I'm a monster user traveler, not a monster's subordinate or anything like that.
　I want you to understand that. It's impossible. Probably, even I would be hostile to them.

''Uh.........''

"You are not allowed in this village!　I will protect this village!

'I don't know what to do...'

　I scratch my cheek.
　The girl isn't shooting arrows at me yet. If we show clear hostility, she will probably shoot without mercy.
　But for now, I'm still just nocking arrows. Maybe there's room for a little discussion.

“--!

Hmm...?

'There you are again!　They!

What?

　For some reason, the girl points the arrowhead not at me, but at the forest behind me. She seems to be very busy.
　And even though I've let my guard down, I'm not going to try to break into the village immediately. Rather, if this is the case, the only thing I can see in the future is an arrow being shot from behind if I enter without permission.
　For now, what is the girl paying attention to - so I check behind her.

　What was there was a herd of beasts that roared, Guru, and roared.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to have a good time. The miasma of the miasma is that of a demon. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it in the future.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your hands on a new one. I've probably kicked at least a thousand wild dogs to death in my five years of travel since I was 15. That's how weak they are. There is nothing wrong with a group of about a hundred of them.

''Hah!''

　As the girl shot the arrow, Wild Dog's forehead was shot through. With that, the Wild Dog in the lead fell intact.
　It's a terrifying hit rate. It could even be said to be tremendous. Probably, their occupation is either a 'hunter' or an 'archer'. I've heard that the archery skills of elves are amazing, but is it really this good?
　But it's just one of a hundred of them. A bow and arrow can only take on one of them in a single blow.
　The crowd of Wild Dogs come running in unison as if they don't care about the damage of a single one of them.

'There are too many of them this time. d*mn.........!

　The girl fires a second arrow and shoots the second wild dog.
　But even as she does so, the herd is closing in on her. The fence is in place, but with these numbers, it won't hold for very long.
　I don't know what the girls are going to do, but I let out a small sigh.

'Oh dear ... Milo, Gilanka, Chappie.'

Oh.

Ha!

Uh, yeah...

　The best thing to do here would be to show that there is no hostility towards me.
　In order to do that, it's important to gain the trust of this village - first of all, the trust of this girl. Just in time for the other demons to attack us.

''Kill them.''

Yes, sir.

　Gilanka was the first to jump out of the way.
　A pack of wild dogs was nothing to him - he drew his sword and ran quickly, as if to say so. Milo jumped out behind him, and finally Chappie began to slither away.
　With each swing of Gilanka's sword, the wild dog ends.
　With each swing of Milo's great axe, the pack of wilddogs would fall apart.
　The wild dogs that had attacked Chappie were being crushed by the club.
　All the wild dog corpses are folding on top of each other.

What? Huh! What does that mean? Why do demons have each other?

So that's why they're my people. Do you believe me?

Oh, my God.

　The girl's eyes widened in surprise.
　Oops, one of the wild dogs passed next to Gilanka and came towards us. I don't know how to take it easy on this guy because I've been kicking him to death with a single blow every time.
　If you kick him very lightly, he'll be okay.

Hey.

Gah!

　My very weak kick sends the wild dog flying.
　I took it easy on him, but I'm not so sure. The wild dog is blown away with my blow, and its limbs are twitching at the end of the blow. It seems that I was able to go easy on him.
　It's good that I've been able to release a blow with all my strength, but it's rather hard to go easy on him like this.

　Perhaps that's what made it possible for Wild Dog to stand up and be on his neck.
　A fourth, slavery collar was securely wrapped around it.

'Good.'

　The moment it comes under my control, apparently its life force is also restored. The newly joined Wild Dog started attacking the Wild Dog that was supposed to be my companion as it was.
　For now, I'll just call it Analyze.

　Name: Bau.
　Occupation: wild dog level 15
　skill
　Biting, level 12.
　chain of servitude

　It's the weakest one I've ever had as a companion.
　Chappie was at Ogre level 32, so it's really less than half that. He doesn't have any skills at all.
　However, it seems that many of the demons acting in packs have names. I'd like to name them, too. Well, if they all have no name, I'll be in trouble too, so this is fine.

Why is Wild Dog fighting each other?

Yeah, he just joined me. I'm on your side now.

'Huh! What does that mean?!

That's why I'm a demon hunter.

　In just a few moments, only Milo, Gilanka, Chappie and Bow, who had just joined us, were left, and the wild dogs disappeared in a fog.
　It took longer than it would have taken me to deal with them on my own, but that's just because of the original level.

''Sweeping, done. My Lord.

It's over.

Oh, my goodness, you're doing great.

Good job, boys.

　Gilanka, still stiff as ever, and Milo with a toothy grin on his face. And a frightened Chappie came back.
　I have to give you credit for fighting for me.

'Nice to meet you!　Master!

Yeah. Nice to meet you, Bow.

　And the one wagging his tail and sticking his tongue out is Bau. He looks like a dog, but he's speaking a language, which is something very strange to me. And he's a spoiled child character.
　And look at the four demons that were waiting for me.
　I can't believe it, and the girl just looked at me with her eyes wide open.

''Really........a demon user........''

'Yeah. That's why I'm saying that...

　The girl took a step closer to me as it was.
　She dropped the bow and arrow in her hand to the spot and fell to her knees.

''Please........''

"Huh?

　For some reason, the girl lowered her head towards me. So much so that my forehead touched the ground.
　I don't have the taste to suddenly get down on my knees to a girl I don't know. I mean, what did I do?

Well, uh, just, uh, look up...

I need you to help my village!

Huh?

　The girl's request was released with such a mournful cry.
　All I could do was to be confused.
