As a result of teaching Mr. Viktor and Mr. Becker about the ruins, it was decided that Mr. Becker would take the lead in establishing a base at the ruins. I felt a little pity for Mr. Achim, who must have been running around for the preparation, but I cheered him on in my heart.
Then, I'm going to leave now. Good luck!
I asked Sylphy to carry Mr. Becker and the others to the ruins, so I decided to return home quickly.
The reaction of Gina and the others when they flew for the first time was wonderful, but the reactions of the ten men, ranging from athletic young men to strong men who had fought many battles in the past, broke my spirit.
It's not anyone's fault that they were scared and screamed because it's a human given emotion. ...... To put it simply, they were disgusting.
Considering that I was smiling at Gina, I've realized that there are certain behaviors that are unacceptable when you are a grown man. I'll be careful next time, because sometimes I get scared and scream too.
"Yuta-dono, are you leaving already?"
As I was reminding myself that I had learned a lesson, Mr. Achim spoke to me with a troubled expression on his face. Did you have any unfinished business?
I took out all the necessary supplies that I carried in my magic bag, and I showed him the building I excavated that could be used as a base of operations. I've given you the right direction to King's Landing, so you can go home.
Well, it looks like I didn't leave anything undone after all.
I intend to, but is there something I'm forgetting?
"I know you've helped us so far, but it would be very helpful if you could tell us the distribution of the demons around the ruins. This area is quite far from the capital and there are no villages here, so even the guild doesn't have much information.
I see, you wanted information on the demons around here. Yes, information is important, and I should have given it to you since your life is at stake.
...... but I don't remember fighting any demons during the excavation of the ruins. I only remember being scared by human bones. I'm sure Sylphy kept the demons away from us.
"Well, I blew away all the demons that were in our way yesterday, so I think we'll be okay for a while. But we should be careful with the goblins and other small ones since they will come back soon. And I don't remember what kind of demons were there because I blew them up randomly. Oh, there was a big tiger and a snake. What else was there?
I looked at Sylphy to see what was going on and got an answer right away. But the answer was too appropriate to explain.
"...... Well, there was a big tiger and a snake, but we fought off most of the dangerous demons. I think we'll be okay for a while as long as we keep an eye out for goblins and such.
Mr. Achim looked serious and thought about it. He was probably guessing the kind of demon, since he was mumbling something like "what kind of tiger" or "Killing Snake" or something like that.
"Could it be that they are quite dangerous demons?
"There are several species of tigers and snakes in the Great Forest, so it is difficult to identify them, but if they are large, there is a high possibility that they are dangerous demons. Can you describe it in more detail?"
I looked at Sylphy and she looked away. It seems that he had processed it in one hand, or he really doesn't remember the details. Maybe a tiger and a cat are no different if they are too strong. That's a great spirit, a cheat.
"Well, I'd like to explain in detail, but it's difficult because I fought them off at a long distance before they got close to me... Is it dangerous even if there are ten of them?"
I understand the strength of demons because I have fought them myself to some extent, but I am subtly unsure of the strength of an ordinary adventurer. If this place is not up to my level, I might be in trouble.
"We are adventurers ourselves, so we have a certain amount of knowledge about the demons of the Great Forest. We have prepared well, so even if we can't beat them, we can get by them. However, if the big snake that Yuta fought off was a Killing Snake, it would be a bit of a problem.
It does not seem to be a danger zone where the levels do not match. Well, I've given you the general location, so even though we don't have much information, I wouldn't step into an obvious danger zone.
But is the snake more of a problem than the tiger? In my image, a big tiger looks more scary ......, but a big snake is scary too, so it's the same either way.
"What's the problem?"
The Killing Snake is venomous, vigorous, and persistent. They cling to their territory and will attack again and again even after you have fought them off. It is no problem if you can defeat them, but they do not die easily and even have the intelligence to run away when they are about to be defeated. And when their wounds heal, they attack again. They are a kind of demons that are hindering the development of human beings in the Great Forest. Moreover, they often fight with them because they take good places for humans to live. It's annoying."
The complaints came out like a storm. Apparently, they had gone at it a number of times on commission. But it seems that there is nothing we can't win, so we'll just have to give it our best shot.
"Are you sure the tiger is all right?
"If you don't have to defeat them, it's okay. Many of the tigers are strong demons, but they don't like certain smells, so when the time comes, I'll spread this around."
Mr. Achim took out a vial and showed it to me. Tigers are cat people, so maybe the source of the citrus smell?
"Would you like to take a sniff?"
As I looked at the vial with curiosity, Mr. Achim held it out in front of me.
"Is it safe for humans to sniff?"
Since my comedic soul is not developed enough to faint at the smell of an unknown liquid, I make sure to check it properly. I don't care if they say I'm not in the mood.
"Ha-ha, it's not an unpleasant smell for people, like it or not."
Mr. Achim seemed to have no malicious intent, so I nodded my head and he opened the lid of the vial. A fresh smell wafted from the vial.
It was not a bad smell. But I feel I have smelled it before. When I put my nose close to the vial to check the smell a little more closely, I felt a shock at the back of my nose.
"Ha-ha-ha, that's quite a smell, isn't it?"
...... the back of my nose feels soooooooooo good. It's the smell of peppermint. It's concentrated with the ingredients of the peppermint, and it smells extremely pungent when you smell it directly. Oh, even my eyes hurt, if I know what I'm talking about.
"Tigers don't like this smell. It's a must-have in the Great Forest since it also keeps insect-like monsters away. It's a pity that it can't be used in a request for a strike.
Mr. Achim is explaining in a carefree manner, but I'm not interested in that. I can't tell if the bridge of my nose is cold or hot.
I was fooled into believing in ....... I was deceived by Mr. Achim.
"I'm going ...... home."
"What?"
"I'll tell Sara that Mr. Achim betrayed me."
He glares at Mr. Achim and then motions to Sylphy.
"What, Yuta-dono? What do you mean you betrayed me? Oh, don't fly. Are you really leaving? Wait a minute.
I don't know. I hope Killing Snake swallows you whole, Mr. Achim.
**
"Achim, what have you done to Yuta?"
"Deputy Commander. ...... No, I didn't do anything special to him, but he suddenly left with tears in his eyes. What should I do?"
"...... I don't know about you, but the next time you see him, make sure you ask him why and keep your head down, even if it's a little unreasonable. You owe it to your daughter, Sarah. If that doesn't work, let me know, and I'll go bow down to her too."
"Uh ...... understand?"
**
"I've asked Vita to escort you, so I'm sure you'll be fine, but just don't overdo it. And don't go out at night just because I'm not here. And be careful of strange people. Don't go along with them even if they offer you sweets or pocket money or something sweet. Especially Gina is a pretty girl, so be careful if she tries to pick you up. Well, I'm starting to think that it would be better to go back to paradise together. ......"
"Master, you're starting to sound like my father."
I was worried about leaving Gina and the others behind, so I gave them a detailed warning, and they said something shocking to me.
Gina's father is that guy, right? You know, the dangerous person who feels like he's hovering on the borderline between overprotective and stalker?
"...... I'm off then. Sarah, you need to think about what you want to do. Marco and Kikka, don't forget to train in the body arts. Gina, take care of the rest.
With a crisp look on his face, he turns his back on Gina and the others and walks away.
"Yuta. You're not getting it back by suddenly acting like a serious master, are you?"
Sylphy pokes at a sore spot. I know that, but when she said I was starting to look like Gina's father, it was all I could do not to get upset.
If I was not careful, I would have said, "Don't be with that guy. I couldn't say that Gina's real parents were like that, either.
It's a bit of a clumsy goodbye, but I'll be back as soon as my vacation is over. You'll get your master's dignity back then. I quickly turn off the road and take off from an inconspicuous place.
Now for the labyrinth city. Should we visit Mr. Torque, pick up the materials to be discarded at Marie's place, and go to the labyrinth core?
It hasn't been that long since our last visit to the labyrinth city, so a quick visit to any of them should be enough. Oh, maybe I should drop off another barrel of sake at the site where they are building the house.

"Hey, Gina, sis. Hey, Gina-chan... you had your master's face pulled, are you okay?
"Hmmm...is it bad that I shared you with my father?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
