About an hour has passed since the battle with Magma Rock .
As before, we continued to climb the mountain without finding a dragon .
[Soutsan, if we don’t return soon the turtle vehicle will be gone . ]
[…I know . ]
Although going down will be easier than going up, the time we can use to explore is very short, even if we take that into consideration .
Shit…
Aphrodite seems happy to get the fragments of Magma Rock, but I’m not happy at all .
It is too uncomfortable for me that the only thing I managed to capture was Lizardmen, even though they are quite a lot .
Nothing .
There’s nothing else?
Right now, it doesn’t have to be a dragon .
If I get a good catch that’s worth the trip, I could descend right back home .
[What is that…?]
When I was considering that .
We could see some buildings made of wood in the middle of the mountain .
Is it a resting place for adventurers? I thought about it, but it seems quite strange .
The hut had a strange shape that would make you think: “A witch lives there?”
[Oooooh! This is amazing!]
Sheryl, who suddenly raised her voice, started running towards the hut .
[Did you see anything, Sheryl?]
[This hut is amazing! Everything in it is a craft made by a series of advanced techniques! It’s bad to have it on this mountain! It feels like the spirit of the craftsmen is slowly dying!]
[Oh, I see . ]
Is that bad?
Sheryl, who had her eyes glowing, looked as excited as she did at the mineral collecting quest .
Sheryl, who was very much into her hobby, entered the hut without thinking .
[It looks like the door is open… Hey Souta, let’s take a break, I feel very tired . ]
[Yes, I was thinking the same thing… We’ve walked quite a bit; I feel my feet could go numb . ]
Then, let’s take a short break at the hut and then continue on our way .
We’ve found a rather strange hut, but everyone seems to be happy and this place looks quite peaceful .
[Wow, this is amazing…]
When we entered the hut, a pile of empty bottles that filled the floor jumped into my field of vision .
[A couch! There’s a couch! Fuu~ It’s really fluffy! With this, I can survive…]
[…………]
I still think it’s strange .
There’s evidence that someone lived in this hut until recently .
If so, who was it? Why?
I wonder if they really live here, in such a remote place .
[… Don’t move, I’m a demon hunter . ]
Shortly after I had that doubt .
A woman’s voice echoed across the room .
Rikku Gerbert
Race: Gnome
Age: 23
When I looked at the person who spoke, there was a woman wearing a hood .
She looked at us with a knife in Carolina’s neck .
[Caro?!]
I can’t believe it .
No way Carolina can be in that situation…!
No, did she just say she’s a “Demon Hunter”?
Why would she discover Carolina’s identity?
I thought only gods like Aphrodite could discover the human disguise that Caroline wore .
[Other human beings, why?! Why are you working with demons if you’re humans?]
The hooded woman asks angrily .
To be exact, a goddess is with us too, but I’ll keep quiet as that would make things much more confusing .
[That voice… Is that you, teacher?]
[She-Sheryl! Why are you here?]
The woman named Rikku saw Sheryl, showing a surprised expression, removed her hood .
Teacher?!
Now that I remember, I’ve heard of her before .
Sheryl’s teacher is a great blacksmith and adventurer, and it was said that she disappeared two years ago when she was on her way to a demon subjugation quest .
Originally, Sheryl began to accompany us on our journey as a purpose to find her teacher .
[… I’ll explain everything right now, so why you don’t let go of our partner for a moment?]
[…………]
When I tried to persuade Rikku, she reluctantly sheathed her knife .
Good, good .
Where should I start from?
Of course, I thought of not telling her all the things that have happened, but it’s still risky for her to think I’m lying to her . So, I decided to explain what happened to this day in an honest way .
