Aww… … .
Familiar 8 threw its wings back, planted its head on the stony ground, and let out a melancholy sound.
Caw! Let’s go!
It’s unfair, it’s unfair.
No, wouldn’t it be too much for myself to follow them, even crashing into a warp gate and going through the pain of gradually loosening the connection with the owner?
From Labyrin to Chavid, from Chavid to the Forest of Spirits.
Although he was a familiar with black magicians in the Forest of Spirits, he would disappear as soon as elves or other fairies recognized him, so he was just waiting outside the forest. So, in the end, #1 also found himself.
mow! clack!
Familiar No. 8 put his head down even more, saying that his posture was out of order, and shook his beak at No. 1’s voice, telling him not to trick the beak into the ground.
As a result of waiting in the forest of spirits and trying to connect with the owner at night, it was nice to be connected, but the distance was too far for a handshake.
Maybe because he became more self-conscious, No. 8 fought against No. 1, who had flown in search of him, pecking at his head.
It was only natural that he lost to No. 1, who ate the owner’s mana longer.
After fighting for a long time, No. 1 lost his balance and fell because he wrapped his wings with the black mana he had accumulated so far and hit his ear.
In the end, he fell into the position of listening to No. 1’s nagging voices pretending to be the owner’s orders.
Caw… aaa… evil… … .
No. 8 solemnly opened his mouth at No. 8’s crying that he had made a mistake. You have to pay the price for what you did to yourself with your body.
Familiar No. 8, no, now Familiar No. 1, nicknamed him Bait No. 1, opened his beak.
Just in case, the owner who added more familiars eventually found the group of cheeky humans.
mow. What is it? click?
monster border. There are monsters inside that are too strong for the owner who has not recovered yet to dare to use them.
If No. 8 moves properly, it will be a little different.
If No. 8 annoyed that strong but lazy monster, the monster, which only moved when it was hungry, a little bit faster, once every few decades.
A few months to a year would be enough to quickly attack humans, and as No. 8 had seen and heard, the black-haired human who had become stronger would be driven to the brink of death.
It is obvious that No. 1 will be praised if he tries to kidnap other humans and sacrifices his body to the owner at the moment when that human becomes weak.
clack! Kaka Kaka!
As No. 1 praised his brain and barked out a grandiose plan, No. 8 remembered a word he had learned while observing humans.
‘X feet.’

“Can I tell you a secret?”
Rachel opened her mouth after eating the fire chicken dish.
Even from the outside, we grabbed the chicken leg, which was about twice as dark red as the hot chicken that was placed separately on our plate, like a microphone.
“What secret word?”
spleen dish. After realizing that 2x spicy hot chicken doesn’t work, Zero mixes some fat with it, and Rachel grins.
“When you eat something spicy. mouth and lips. That there is something bigger than the pain in the stomach.”
I looked up after putting the perfectly spicy chicken and fruit juice-soaked salad between the bread.
no way.
No matter how much Rachel is with her easy-going athletic sister.
“My butt hurts the next day!”
it will hurt Once you’ve polymorphed into a human, your body is a human, not a dragon, and unless you protect your body and internal organs with mana when you go to the bathroom, you’ll be sick because you always give Rachel twice as spicy.
From noble mtl dot com.
I tried to pour the words I heard into my ears. A living, breathing character, not an illustration or typeface, is alive in many ways.
With an almost perfect face and body, the words that come out of my mouth are like that, so whether it’s fortunate or unfortunate, I don’t have anything to forget about my situation and fall in love with.
“Does it really have to be at the dinner table?”
“I know what you mean. Then eat less.”
[Golem has no sass. Fortunately, the.]
Despite the three bombardments, Rachel shakes her head as if what she said is very funny.
I opened my mouth while clicking my tongue and looking at my brain.
“You seem to have eaten enough, so I’ll get to the point. I found a request to bet on.”
Rachel, who was laughing with tears in the corners of her eyes at my words, puts a chicken leg in her mouth until one cheek pops out, then looks at me.
“Chew everything and tell me.”
At my quick addition, Rachel opened her lips and began chewing on the cartilage of the chicken leg instead of making a short slurred sound.
“Oh really? Yeah, what kind of request is it? Let’s see the request.”
I handed over the paper I had torn from the agency as I drank water with lemon in it, and Rachel read it through and then looked at me with her lips raised wide.
“I’m sorry, I’m disappointed. Will you be okay with just this?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Ah, that’s right. I think you picked me knowing that I can’t use magic. Isn’t that something so simple that you can’t even use mana?”
I laughed at him too.
“Are you scared?”
At my words, Rachel tilts her head slightly.
“What do you mean scared?”
“Are you afraid of losing?”
At that, Rachel narrowed her brows and growled, showing her fangs.
“What are you talking about! don’t you know who i am I’m Rachel! Can I solve this quest by myself right now? Do you know or not?”
you know, you know You know it’s brainless. In the first place, Rachel thinks that I chose that request because she is playing as a martial artist who does not use magic.
It’s hard to catch without magic.
But I didn’t choose for such a simple reason, and that’s not even the right answer.
Rachel can’t use magic, but she can wrap mana around her fist.
And even though he couldn’t fully exhale the mana inside his body, a skill similar to that of the wind, which surrounds the mana in his fist and shoots natural mana scattered in the air, also came from the original work.
“Then do you agree to bet who will solve that laugh first?”
“of course! I’ll catch them all!”
I laughed softly as Rachel exclaimed triumphantly as she tossed the finished chicken leg into the bone-only bowl.
“Then I’d like to go if I’ve eaten all of them.”
“why! Aren’t I the owner of that room now?”
“Yeah, no.”
Luna and Rachel are bickering, but Zero also helps.
“If you want to go to sleep tonight, you should wash the dishes.”
Somehow, instead of fragile glass bowls, a bunch of wooden and metal bowls came out to have Rachel wash the dishes.
In the meantime, Leaf was cleaning the table on her own, and I opened the codex, enjoying a bit of laziness because I was their landlord and employer.
As long as the codex is enough, it’s a monster that others can look up to, so I don’t even get recharged by mercenaries. Regular wizards who were not mercenary wizards were somewhat trusted because they were at the base, so although they were sparing, purification was especially reduced.
‘But if I’m lucky this time, I’ll be able to make up for it.’
In the original work, only halfway parties accepted the subjugation request, so it was not resolved until Kane came here later.
Since there was no harm except for the sound of laughter, those who could not bear the sound of laughter left the village, leaving only the deaf old man or those with nerves like tendons.
In a place where the subjugation team didn’t come because no requests were put in there anymore, Kane’s party stayed overnight and heard the sound of laughter, and its true identity appeared in the original work.
At least it was before Kane’s notoriety spread due to his false accusation, and he was one of the rare healing patriarchs that I remember… … .
“Let’s drink, drink! Take out the dealer artifact, Adelian!”
I looked at Rachel, who was excitedly waving her arms and carrying the card dealer artifact I threw out, then looked away.
Even if you don’t like it, it’s Luna or Leaf. Everyone Zero gets along well with Rachel, so seeing the four of them besides me playing games together at a table, I sneakily took out the siren.
“Come out Kane, over.”
I grabbed the siren and called Kane’s name several times like a parrot. After a while, I heard Kane’s voice.
＜Noisy.＞
“I have to answer quickly. Falling in, you can talk without holding hands.”
＜Tell me the main point.＞
I tried to nag him subtly, but he got away with it. I leaned back on the sofa and hesitated at the siren.
“Did you arrive here today? Does that mean that a large-scale subjugation will be recruited soon?”
＜It’s not yet certain, but it’s possible. What I know right now is that I will divide this jockey into two teams and put them in.＞
Kane said the other day that this contract subjugation team was about 50 people.
“Do you have any more details? tell me honestly I couldn’t make friends.”
When I said it with a smile, Kane lightly clicked his tongue.
＜Most of the jockeys this time, except for me, have been trained for 3 to 5 months at most.＞
Usually, the rider of the subjugation team refers to the order of graduation at the training center, not the order in which they entered.
However, Kane, who has been trained for about a month, graduates with the same jockey and is put into the field, so he must be holding it in check normally.
or try to use it.
Either way, there’s no way I’m kind to Kane’s personality.
“Watch the back of your head?”
＜Even when sleeping, I am alert.＞
Seeing what you said, I saw what you did at the training center.
Since I told you not to look at me, there is absolutely no point in bending Kane’s personality… But don’t worry.
“There seems to be no contact with Reinhardt yet. You’ll have to build some more.”
＜Soon, you will be able to judge the possibility to some extent where you will be divided into two groups and dispatched.＞
“Contact regularly. Let me know right away if anything unusual happens.”
＜I do.＞
That way, it’s easy for me to weave anything.
“Aww! Nonsense!”
“Zero, Leaf. grab your arm.”
I watched as Leaf and Zero grabbed Rachel’s arm as she struggled, as if Rachel had lost and Luna had won first place, Luna squeezed her chin and scratched the highway at the top of her head with the other hand.
What are kids… I will never forget the punishment once taught.
In the meantime, Rachel’s cheeks are red, as if she had been hit with pork belly.
“It’s heartwarming.”
I smiled kindly and checked the candy left in the subspace.

“The more I look at it, the more amazing it is. The horses usually carried by mercenaries get tired of seeing me.”
I answered what Rachel said while speeding up, riding a monster that looked like a mixture of a dinosaur and an ostrich instead of a horse.
“It must be because Zero’s horse is from Chavid’s wild horse, and Luna’s and I’s horses are trained as war horses.”
Horses are by nature timid animals. So, in general terms, Rachel would be frightened by the ferocious aura she implied.
The three-day ride on the horse written in the request was probably based on the standard of a normal horse, so we almost reached the village of Slash-and-burn in less than a day and a half.
Since the village was built illegally on the border of monsters, there are no proper roads, and the land is uneven, probably because the village was built in a rutted way.
At least the smoke rising as if they were preparing a meal and the fields that could be seen at first glance make one think that people are still living there.
After passing the border of the village, which is just like a fence without a proper barrier, there are only ten huts standing sparsely.
“Oh, did you come by request? thank you… thank you.”
“you’re welcome. If there is an empty house, I would like to use it while solving the request… Are you there?”
The old man who came out with the sound of horseshoes, which is not common here, bowed his head as if he was the representative of this place, and I quickly got off the horse.
“There was someone who couldn’t stand the sound of laughter and left… The house over there is empty.”
I nodded my head at that and took a step to put my words on hold, but Rachel clenched her fists and grinned.
“what? Do you think you are confident when you see that you are lazy? I’m going to start right away. Go first!”
Riff grabs Rachel’s ponytail, which is about to jump out at any moment, and Luna opens her mouth.
“I wonder if it’s a ghost-type monster that won’t appear until nightfall.”
“Right?”
I laughed as I watched Rachel being dragged into an empty house.
In fact, if you look for it well, there might be a way even during the day… I also like the night.
It was also a while to take a break in the dusty, sparse hut that no one knew when they left.
Clap.
The sound of burning bonfires is also momentary. Beyond the sloppy window, the sun has already gone down and the moon has risen.
It is dark everywhere and the villagers have already entered the house as soon as the sun goes down and locked the door and do not come out.
In the midst of such a quiet night, a faint sound was heard.
kyaha! Ha ha ha ha!
Whoa, hee hee!
The sound of an innocent child’s laughter.
It was a sound of pure, clear laughter that tickled one’s ears just by hearing it, but in the middle of the night in the mountains, the sound of laughter whose direction it could be heard from could be terrifying to someone.
“It’s out!”
As Rachel kicked the door and ran somewhere, I slowly got up too.
“let’s go.”
