I don't want to do this anymore!

This is going to be tough...

We'll have to figure out where to go next.

I heard weakness from the adventurer's group as well as the woodworker's group.

I've cut down a few trees since then, but I've had a lot of trouble with them. The first tree had no demons or animals around it, but the next tree had some kind of presence around it.

There were signs that they were reacting to the sound of cutting wood and moving away, but there were also signs that they were approaching as if drawn to the sound.

Naturally, I was aware of that presence, so I was able to bring it down without injury. However, this time the smell of blood that came out when I defeated it brought a new demon closer to me.

And the demons kept appearing until I was able to put the tree in the item box. Thanks to this, I was able to defeat a lot of demons, but I was physically and mentally exhausted.

'Well, I'll have to start cutting trees at the outer edge of the forest from now on.

''Yeah. We can't rely on our masters forever, but it's hard enough to cut ourselves.

They couldn't carry it without me to cut it themselves, but the woodworkers and adventurers group seemed to have come to an agreement.

'Hey, is this what Trent is going to be like?

Everyone looked disgusted by Mr. Cruz's words.

''I don't want to hunt Trent anymore, but I have to do it, so it's time to give up and find Trent.

I had cut enough wood ... well, not quite enough, but enough to make it worthwhile, and I started walking to find Trent.

'There he is,'

A word from the grandfather makes everyone nervous. Each of us is wary of our surroundings, but we don't see anything that looks like Trent.

'Grandpa, are you here?'

Not in here. There's one that's close by. Do your best to find him.

Before I left, my grandfather told me that Trent is very good at mimicry and difficult to find. And he is good at catching its prey by surprise when it gets close.... That's why the old man called out to Trent and helped me to find him.

He said, "Everyone be careful how you look for them. Even if you can't find him, be careful not to take him by surprise!

""Oh!"

And everyone uses their abilities with their eyes, ears, and noses to search for enemies around them.

I'm going to explore the magic in the surrounding area. Since Trent is a demon, I intend to find the demon nucleus (core).

I didn't see any magical responses in the vicinity, but there were a number of responses at a distance. Unfortunately, I couldn't tell which one was Trent's.

I've been searching for a little while, but I couldn't find the queen's, Cruz's nose, Ilya's ears, or even the eyes of the adventurers and producers' group.

In the meantime

Hey, buddy, it's not that way.

My sister pointed to it.

There's definitely a magical reaction over there. But everyone else is tilting their heads as if they don't feel anything.

Is this more like a cat's sixth sense than my sister's ability to search for enemies? In fact, a few times, my sister's intuition led her to find some rare medicinal plants.

Then let's go over there first. There doesn't seem to be any around here.

We proceeded towards the direction my sister pointed at with caution.

''There's a magical reaction out front!

When the bow and arrow came within reach or not from the magic power in the direction he pointed, he called out to everyone.

Everyone investigated in their own way, but there was no sign of the demon.

''I can't even smell the creature.''

He's not moving.

So that's Trent?

It looks like we've found our target, Trent.
