Fluffy, fluffy.

　My soul, which was supposed to be possessed by Kyoko's body, looked down at her head on the forest tree before I knew it.


　Hey! Kyoko!


Sir? ...... teacher!


　The girl exclaims, looking as if she is looking for the direction of the day after tomorrow.

　When you're a soul, you can be so close to them and not even notice them.

　When you think about that.


　Zaza, Zaza Zaza......


　From the darkness of the forest, I see an even darker mass of darker things looming in large numbers.

　Yes.

　I've heard about it before, so I had a hunch right away.

　That's the thing ...... people call 'hell'.

　The, Zaza Zaza ......

　And now I'm in this demonic forest, defenselessly exposing my "flesh and blood soul" to the public.

　Oh no! .......

　I'll be taken away.

　I don't want to! We have to get out of here!


　I mooch through the air in my soul and try to escape hell somehow.


　Zsa Zsa ...... Zsa Zsa ...... Zsa Zsa ......


　But the demonic forest air was heavy, clinging to it like a pool of slime.

　This isn't good enough.

　In order to escape from these things, you can't escape by struggling to escape.

　You need a momentary spiritedness with instantaneous force.


　Se-no ............ ！！！！



'Puh-uh! ...... ha! Ha! Ha! ......

　When I jumped up, I was back in my body under the light of the field from earlier.

　Boom! Boom! He felt his heart palpitating as if he were having a terrible nightmare.

　It's as if I was having a terrible nightmare.


''Doctor!

　That's where Kyoko comes running in with a bow and arrow in her hand.

Are you alright?

Oh, ...... Yeah.

　The beautiful sunshine shone on the girl's cheeks, and for a moment I thought I was in heaven.

''The Poison Slime from earlier dropped its bronze medal.

Okay.

　So, that means that what you just saw wasn't a dream.

　It means that the magic ore arrowhead was a success.

　That's as good as Liv.


　On the other hand.

　The attempt to use 【Hyoi】 in actual training was not a success.

　She was able to move through the battle zone with Kyoko's body, but if her soul was freed when she attacked the monster, she would soon be forced into a critical situation like the one we saw earlier.

　That wasn't very useful.

　I need to learn more before I can use it, or else I won't have enough souls to use it.



　◇



Ugh, ugh. ......

　I still felt dizzy when I returned to the others, so I took a nap in the temporary hut we had built in front of Le Monde Forest.

　This temporary hut was built by Gonkichi Yamamoto, a carpenter of the Okuga clan.

Fuu......

　It was a hurried blowout, but it was nice to have a roof and a place to lie down in front of the quest area we were attacking.


　By the way, Yamamoto-san's carpentry skills are a good match with those of 'Kimura'.

　This means that wherever we go, we can cut down trees on site and build according to the situation.

　It seems that they can only build huts for now, but as Yamamoto-san grows, the grade of things they can 'build' will also increase.



　And after that.

　As I was dozing off in the temporary hut, I heard that

Eigha, which one?

　And then the hand of the masked girl touched my shoulder.

　It's Saionji Kanako.

N ...... what?

You should try that transference technique on me, too.

　You mean possession?

　This woman must have seen her soul being transferred to Kyoko.

Hmm. I'm sorry. I don't really understand Saionji-san's abilities, so I can't tell you anything.

That's not so. I thought that if you could get into my body, you could see the battle situation for yourself at .......

　I see.

　I'll think about it.

　In other words, by possessing Saionji Kanako, I can observe the battle situation in the forest from the perspective of a female ninja.

　From the feeling I got earlier, if I could only "see" the area of battle by "moving", my soul wouldn't be free.

　It's not a bad idea.

　...... But I feel it would be bad for the lord of Okuga to get too involved with Saionji Kanako.

''Ohoho. Please don't be so suspicious. Our family is not trying to do any harm to the Ooga. And of course, to Tokumo.

......

If you're willing, Miss Eigha, I'd be happy to show you my face.

　Then Kanako Saionji takes my hand and invites me to her ample breasts.

　The red outfit and womanly bulge.

　The warmth of her breasts was caged in the fabric, and I felt like a damp wind from the Far East.

'Yo,'

　And I flipped the woman's hand.

'Aigadono ....... Not much.

　The only thing you can do is to look dejected and depressed, even though they don't show any expression with their masks, which is a real bother.

I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well right now. I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well right now.

　I had no choice, so I answered just like that.




　The sun had set and I still wasn't feeling well after the day's adventure, but I managed to get Tanaka Ichitaro-kun to Lantis' blacksmith shop.

'Apprentice?　f*ck it. ....... I can't say no to you if you ask me to.

　Although Liv had said it like that, but it doesn't look like she's not afraid of having an apprentice.

　Then he reported the success of the [Arrowhead] of the Demon Ore, and told her that he would outsource the 'purchase' through Garcia to other vendors as well.

　In fact, according to that day's assessment, the items acquired were already up to 910,000 bonds, so it was no longer possible as a day's purchase amount at Lantis' blacksmith shop.


''From now on, I'd rather have your help in developing [Arrowhead] than buying it.

Yeah. It's fun for me, too, isn't it?

　Well, as a blacksmith, I guess that's true.

And don't forget to take care of Ichitaro-kun. It's a talented kid.

I'm not so sure about that, though. It must be difficult to teach people things, right?

　Well, that's ...... certainly true.



　◇



　By the next day, I was feeling roughly better.

　So I'm going to do what Saionji Kanako offered to do yesterday.

''It's cool...''

　The female ninja said, "What are you doing?" and took off her costume.

'What are you doing?'

You said to continue yesterday's story at ......, so I'm going to get naked.

Not that way! You don't have to get naked, just lie down.

　Thus, I'm possessed by Saionji Kanako in a temporary hut.

''Wow! You really do have a soul inserting itself into it. It's amazing!

Don't say "insert"!

　By the way.

　Although she called the [possession] a surprise, the various abilities of the female ninja were more surprising to me.


　Shun: ......


　She moved several times faster than Kyoko, who was wearing a skirt of wind.

　He also has a tremendous leaping ability, jumping from tree to tree in the Le Monde forest in a blink of an eye.

　Sometimes he would fly a kite into a gaping hole in the field, or see into the darkness with an instrument resembling binoculars.

These kinds of techniques are actually kept out of the family gates. I would like to show you a part of it, specially for Eigado.

'Right. Thanks ....... Well, while you're at it, let's see your face.

That's not the same thing.


　As he looked at the battle behavior of the 150 residents of his domain, he could see that the dimension of their lives had changed a lot.

　To put it plainly, all 150 people have reached the level of the first ace level.

　Among them, the fact that all 12 supportive mages, two in each group, were able to use search magic [Search] was especially huge in the Le Monde Forest, where darkness was a nuisance.

　In addition, Group A's Nao could use 【Search】, a high-level magic of search.

　Since it could detect monsters farther away than Search, it could search for monsters from a wider area and increase the number of battles.

　Only Nao can use Sarchil for now, but other supportive mages will soon be able to use it as well.


　In addition, there are also some lords who have passed the "5000 combat power" line that separates the beginner and intermediate adventurers.

　Chiyo, Eriko, Kyoko, Nao, and Hyouju, in that order, joined the middle class.

　It was rare for an adventurer to achieve intermediate status at such a fast pace, but it was no surprise that all six groups of adventurers gained all 150 adventurers' experience through combat, and that was double the amount of experience they gained.

　However, as long as you're fighting in this forest, you won't get much more experience as long as you're fighting in this forest, because once you reach 5000 combat power, the experience required to level up will also increase.


''Chiyo.''

　I landed in front of F-group Chiyo.

"?

　But Chiyo nods her head.

　Oh, I see.

　She's possessed by Saionji Kanako.

'It's me. It's me, me.

　While I claimed that, I thought it sounded like a scam.

'By any chance, my lord ......?'

　I was a little worried about this loincloth girl as she answered naively.

'Chiyo, you know. I'm sure she's strong enough to take out the monsters in this forest by herself.

Is that so?

Yes, but you're taking too many hits for that. But for that, you're taking too many attacks. You're a martial artist, so I'm sure you'll be able to duck with your body language. You need to look at the enemy more closely and try not to take any extra damage.

Hmm. Let's see who's out there.

　With that, I watch as Chiyo begins shadow martial arts and I jump from tree to tree again.


'This is handy,'

Yes. Ohohohoho.


　I used Saionji Kanako's body to visit the battle sites of groups A to F and instructed them on how they should change their fighting style as their abilities increased.


　This was the day that I reached 2.32 million bonds in items acquired.

　The next day was 5.67 million bonds.


　And the next day was the day after that when we got to 14.37 million bonds.

　This was where the [Arrowhead] made of magic ore was introduced to each group's equipment.

　With these arrowheads.

"It allows you to unleash an attacking spell the length of an arrow's range.

　This is why it is so easy to defeat the monsters in Le Monde Forest.

　Therefore, if you have level 2 or higher Attack Magic, Archer's Arm, and Search Magic, you can easily defeat the monsters in Le Monde Forest in the following way.


1 The supportive mage will search for the enemy with search magic.

2 The attacking wizard will cast a spell on the arrowhead.

3 Finally, the archer shoots the monster.


　These three steps, I observed in the body of a female ninja as the monsters were hunted one after another, and it was an impressive sight.


　The light of search.

　The light of magic.

　The trajectory of an arrow.

　The light of a monster disappearing.


　It's a beautiful and strange sight to see so many different colors of light emitting in a forest that is supposed to be stained with darkness.

　And this day.

　The 150 territorial residents hunted and hunted and hunted and hunted the monsters until they achieved 14.37 million bonds worth of items to acquire.



　◇



　Night.

　In the billiard room at Hafenfeld.


"Hi-ha! If you keep this up, we'll all be millionaires!

　And so on, it was Garcia who was floating around.

　It was still unclear at this point how much the items of the day would be worth, but Garcia had already thought that 'this will definitely exceed 10 million bonds'.

''Haha ......''

　But I sigh along with the cigarette smoke.

'Sir, what's the matter with you? Sighing when you're making so much money. The profits are going away.

Look. We're not here to make a buck.


　Kakin! ...... Gakon, Gakon, Gakon!

　I poked the nine-ball break and pocketed three.


That's true, but it's better to make money than not. If you keep this up, you'll make 100 million in 10 days.

I don't care if it's 100 million or not, if you spend this much magic ore every day, the stuff you put on the ship will be gone in no time.

　Yes.

　The demon ore, the raw material for the new arrowheads, was being made by taking it out of the ship.

''And based on the current fighting power of the lords, the monsters in Le Monde Forest are already weak. That's why, with the experience of the monsters there, their battle power isn't going to increase much anymore. So it's a waste to spend demon ore like that, and if we can defeat them with just a search and [arrowhead], it's not good training for the vanguard and recovery system.

　In other words, the magic ore is diminishing, the combat power is not increasing, and the money is making money ...... then there is not much going on in the adventure and training.

''Then what are we going to do?''

''Yeah. Le Monde Forest is a C-class quest area, but from now on, I want to hunt monsters in the B-class quest area. The [Demon Ore Arrowhead] strategy was designed to defeat stronger monsters. But .......

　Khan! ......

　I miss with the eight ball and say, biting down on a bitter bug.

'Our license is still a Class C license,'

So why don't you get a B-level license?

'It's easy for me to say, though: to get a Class B license, you have to either beat a boss in Class C or do a quest with a client.

　I think you're capable of that, but this is the only time you'll get the opportunity to do it. ......

'I see. ......'

　...... Cacoon!

　While muttering that, Garcia dropped the nine-ball beautifully.

　Then.


　Callan, Callan...... Callan♪


　A beautiful woman in a tight skirt walked into the store and for a moment, "Oh! But it was Igarashi-san.

　She had asked me to go to the Adventurer's Guild Outpost in Hafenfeld today.

'......'

How's Igarashi-san? Did you get assigned a quest?

　When I heard that, Igarashi-san shook her head as she stared at me.

''I see.''

But .......

　Saying that, the flyer she held out to me said


≪'Le Monde Forest Boss Outbreak'
