Another side

"Not here, genie.

That is true.

You guys can't be found near the entrance of a forest like this, can you?

Parties without Jiro Tanaka, the leader, are often led by Kitamiya.

Normally, the theory is that Kaido, the elder, should lead the party, but because he is unfortunately in a position where he is often in the forefront, and because he is not good at organizing people, Kitamiya, whose specialty is in this field, is leading the party.

Of course, in battle, Minami, as the chief of staff, often gives full direction, but the usual course of action is organized by her.

That's why she's still discussing the map with the dark elf who's guiding her on where to go.

In addition, Kitamiya herself is highly motivated by the fact that she was quite enthusiastic about this spirit contract.

That's why when Jiro gave her the task of organizing the event, she honestly accepted the role.

You can find a number of different types of shoes and boots in the market.

I'm sure you'll find that each of the attributes have their own characteristics, right?

Spirits are often influenced by their natural environment as they are close to nature.

Therefore, their habitat tends to be different.

Well, just as water spirits prefer to live in springs and lakes, fire spirits tend to be found near the craters of volcanoes, earth spirits in caves, and wind spirits on the plateau. Well, there are some spirits with twisted personalities, so there are some spirits that are not worthy of being found in these places.

I see, but if I go there, I have a better chance of meeting the genie, right?

Yes, I'm sure of it.

Then, Kitamiya thinks it's not a good idea to wander around aimlessly.

The other testers thought nothing of leaving it to the guide to lead them to the place where the desired spirit was likely to be, but he had a feeling that this was inefficient.

So, being prepared to be late, I had a meeting with the dark elf youth as a guide in advance like this.

Then I think you should decide on your destination first. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few days. ...... Also, I'd like to confirm that meeting the spirits above the intermediate level is a matter of luck, right?

Yes, they have a strong ego and are not easy to find, even for us dark elves. That's the only thing I can advise you on. But even so, we don't see them very often, so maybe we'll see them today.

The young dark elf who is guiding us this time carefully explains to us which spirits are in which places one by one.

After receiving this explanation, Kitamiya further thinks about it.

She doesn't think this plan will go completely according to plan, but she still decided that a framework should be made.

If she acted without thinking, she might indeed be able to move around freely, but there would be no place to go back to the beginning when she got lost.

That's what she wanted to avoid.

I'd like to get everyone signed up anyway, but it may not be ...... what you want.

"The genie will answer you unless you have a very good reason, but what are the circumstances?

Huh, I'm having trouble with those two innocent hopes you're having a good time there. I think we should start somewhere more affordable. I think Amie's Wind Spirit is close by, so let's go there first.

They pointed in the direction of the two older men and women who were searching in the bushes, on top of trees and behind rocks, as if looking for someone to play hide-and-seek with.

After showing them, Kitamiya told them to leave the two men for later and gave them something to talk about first.

The guide, a dark elf, also shows his understanding of the story.

I think it would be better to go this way, although it is a little farther away since there is probably another guide leading the way to the spot.

Kaido's hope is to have a fire spirit.

Although there are many spirits on the highways, unfortunately fire is something that is difficult to find in the natural world.

Therefore, the easiest environment to confirm their existence is limited, and the most likely location on the map that Kitamiya sees is near the crater at the top of the mountain, which is the exact opposite of the forest entrance.

It's the farthest away and honestly, it would take some time.

He is good at fire magic himself, and he wants to strengthen it.

So, although he said it was a hassle, Kitamiya had no intention of denying it or telling him to give up on it for the sake of the future.

This is because I understand and agree that this is what is necessary.

It's the hope of the south that accounts for most of the implications of the words "a pain in the ass" that are solely a headache.

Her role at the party is to assist (support).

It's a so-called behind-the-scenes support position.

There are many opportunities to contribute indirectly to the battle by spying on the surroundings, raising the defense of your allies, or conversely, reducing the attack power of your opponent.

The roles are also diverse, and although he doesn't talk about the importance of attentiveness, Kitamiya also acknowledges Minami's abilities.

The power to support her, the spirit to assist her, is a little special.

No, it's better to say that you don't know which spirits to sign up with.

There are too many roles to know where to strengthen.

It's a little difficult for a non-person to choose.

If you ask him what kind of power he needs, he will say a rare spirit will do.

According to him, it is up to you to choose a spirit with any peculiarities, and he believes that peculiarities are more interesting to learn how to use.

From Kitamiya's point of view, the order is too vague to narrow down the target, so you may want to ask for clarification.

As I said, it is natural that Kitamiya has decided that this is the last time for Minami, who only talks about things intuitively, such as noren, arm pressure, rice bran and nails, and feeling.

So we'll deal with the troubles later, the easiest thing to deal with first.

The easiest ones to handle are Amelia and Katsu.

Amelia, who acts as a scout, supports speed and concealment and can pick up sounds in the distance with her skills, so I prefer the wind spirit to enhance that advantage.

Katsu, who plays the role of recovery, wishes to sign up with the water spirit, aiming at the housewife's saving technique of increasing the effectiveness of recovery and reducing costs by self-producing potions.

Their wishes were relatively simple, and the dark elf youth answered right away.

Wow! Mike! What kind of spirits do you think there are?

I think there are many different types of lower level spirits, but if you have a personality, I think an energetic spirit would be good for you.

"After Amy, would you like to use Katsura's water spirit?

"Yes, that's fine.

"Buuuuuuut, I'll have to wait, that I will?

Then you need to make a more reasonable order. Seriously, be one of the guys who thinks up the plan. Now put some armor on.

"Yes, that's right.

Although a little grumpy at Kitano's remark, she thinks it's always the same, so she carefully waves a number on the map and decides on the order to head out.

Kitamiya's own wishes are a bit unique, so she'll have to wait until later, and while looking at the map she lets out a sigh.

She was also looking forward to signing a contract with the genie. So she's willing to make a contract with the spirit as soon as possible.

She is strong-minded, but her inherently serious nature allows her to carry out her work without ever saying the word.

You'll want to move as soon as possible because there's not much time left in the schedule.

You have to cast a reinforcement spell on the entire party to speed up their movement and then start running through the forest under the dark elf's lead.

"Oh! I didn't see them near the entrance, but there are a lot of them.

"Yes, that it is. The moment you leave the village, that is, you'll be reminded of the difference in living areas.

As long as they are usually in this group, they are accustomed to moving in a group, and they have accumulated the know-how to be alert to their surroundings, so it was possible for them to move around while talking to each other like this.

If ordinary Japanese people saw the scene, they would think they were ninjas! You are flying over the trees as a means of transportation, a skill that Kaido and his team are able to do because they use every possible place in the dungeon as a foothold.

Along the way, you will see various lower-grade spirits.

They may be on their way to another location, or they may be in the middle of the forest, which is natural for them.

"・・・・・ Mike~

"What's the matter with you?

I have a feeling that I'm being avoided by the spirits.

"Yeah, I'm not feeling sorry for you. You're being avoided.

There was a little problem along the way.

Amelia was talking to Mike inside her body as she squirmed in a half-crying state.

Even though she was traveling at high speed, Amelia didn't hesitate to use a thick branch as a foothold and keep moving forward.

Although she is moving in a solid manner, she can't help but use the same foothold, and sometimes she has to use a different foothold on the spur of the moment.

You'll be able to see that there is no need to use the same foothold, and sometimes you have to move away from it at a moment's notice.

You'll be able to see that it's a very good thing that you're able to use it for your own benefit.

I'm not going to follow it because it is on the move, but that doesn't mean that Amelia wouldn't think nothing of such a gesture.

At first I thought I had startled her, so I pulled myself together and spoke to the other spirits again, but if this was repeated, her normally cheerful spirit would break down.

"Aaan~

Okay, there's something wrong with you. You need to keep your head up.

I'm not going to be able to get it right.

The dark elf's guide has never seen anything like this before and a troubled look on her face.

Tears finally flow from her eyes and she hugs Kitamiya.

Even the woman being held by Amelia shows her confusion, not expecting this to happen from the start.

It's not only a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time with your friends.

How did this happen?

No, it's obviously Mike's fault, that it's not.

Mike, who is the cause of this phenomenon, curiously utters a question, as if to express an invisible but nodding gesture.

In response, Minami, who had figured out the exact cause of the problem from Mike's identity, gave him a jerk eye and said, "Don't tell me what you mean.

What do you mean?

"Mike is the soul of the self-proclaimed demon king, that is? No wonder the spirits are frightened of their souls, that they are not.

Ahhh.

"......

It has become commonplace in the party, but Amelia's presence in the room is classified.

The conversation between Amelia and Mike along the way was also very hushed.

So if you are concerned about the dark elf who is guiding you and hold Amelia in your arms and ask the south to listen to her, she will answer you in a whisper.

The soul of the so-called demon king frightened her.

Amelia herself is not responsible for this, but this is the moment when she found out that she can't make a contract with a spirit because of the soul of Mike inside her.

And suddenly the plan is thwarted, and Kitamiya is puzzled about what to do.

She made an elementary mistake and regretted that she did not expect this to happen, and she regretted that she did not have a leader of this party to talk to to solve this problem.

'I don't know what to do.

Anyway, I think we should pull out for today, that I think. Maybe Mr. Muille would know what to do about it, that he would know what to do.

"...... Yes. I guess I'll have to.

"Uh-sorry.

"Idiot, you don't have to apologize, it's the idiot living in your house that's to blame.

"Hahahahaha, I don't have any excuse for this either, but I don't think there's any way to say it," he said.

"Shut up and stay.

It might be more efficient to go and sign up the other members' spirits, but Kitamiya decided that the atmosphere of the party should be avoided, so he apologized to the dark elf's guide, and thought about returning to the base, but...

''Huh? The weather is getting weird, isn't it?

"It's true, the moon was so beautiful just now.

Suddenly, the poor weather conditions, the light of the moon being blocked out and the visibility becoming even worse, made it difficult to return.  

No, this is different.

"Kitamiya! Enemy attack, that is!

Although Kitamiya thought it was just a normal bad weather, the reaction of the two people was slightly different.

Mike sensed the dubious atmosphere from the presence of the spirit and Minami sensed its suspicious atmosphere from the detection magic.

In the darkened forest, spirits disappeared for no reason other than Amelia's cause, and red-black glowing eyes began to sparsely appear from within the forest.

Rather than seeing it, the men who responded to the southern voice quickly prepared themselves for battle and faced the glare.

The ripples of trouble were now in front of their eyes.
