The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

On the way home, behind Laocles and Mersen, me, Fai and Crowe, and plenty of skeleton specimens follow.

"Oh, and yet, ghosts, huh?... shit, I'm freaked out."

"Faye, you don't like ghosts?

"Well, I guess I'm worse than humans...."

I see. Faye is a little bad at ghosts. Mm-hmm.

"Still... it was a ghost. Oh, my God. The sword doesn't make sense."

"I was going to take him home, interrogate him and extract information... but I can't do that if he disappears. What a mess."

It seems that the Knights were thinking about interrogation, but what do you think about interrogating ghosts? Do you threaten me with salt or something? Like chanting?

"Well, I can't help it. Summarize what I have learned with just the information I have."

... but even in this situation, Claire is still Claire!

The ghost has disappeared, so I can't hear from her anymore. So let's deduce from what's left. Let's do it.

"First of all, the nature of the opponent. Looks like she was the Lady or the daughter of the Round House."

"The Round House?

When I heard back, Mr Crowe pointed to the map and told me.

"There was territory around here. It was close to the Royal Command... but it was destroyed a long time ago. The lord surrounded his concubine, but he didn't work hard and fell in love with play. Well, of course."

Spicy...

"If I had a little girl at the time, I think she would have grown up by now... but if she was a ghost, she might have been the lady at the time. So, because their territory has been destroyed and they have become poor, they may have rebelled against the occasional Red Gard territory."

That's what Claire said, and she sighs.

"... that's why the ghost borrowed the help of the monster, isn't it?"

"The point is, I think that a ghost with a strong feeling of resentment was appropriately picked up and used by monsters. The ghost himself probably had no intention of doing so, and he felt like," With the help of a monster, I will impose sanctions on the Red Gard territory. "

Oh, that's what happened. I see. A ghost is used by a monster... Maybe a monster has the technology to make a ghost look like that. Wow.

"Ah... the point is, you used your feelings of resentment to be good at monsters, right? Cheng Cheng... That means that it was not a ghost or a ghost, but a monster made from a ghost or a remnant of resentment."

Is that what it is? Monsters are amazing. I think it's amazing to be able to shape things that have no shape.

"... if that's the case, this is satisfactory. If she was a monster again... she might have stayed here with this power, too."

And Crowe sighs at what she took out of her luggage.

It's a black crystal ball. The surface is deeply covered. Mr. Claire broke it.

Apparently, this stone was a tool for creating monsters.

"The monster came out of here... It was a waste."

"Nah, corn. I think so, just like you....?

Unfortunately, the stone that has been broken can no longer be used. What a waste... Mm-hmm.

"... even if you just crushed one of these stones, this time it's a success. Huh?"

"Mmm...."

Well, in the meantime, I suppose you've crushed one of the opponents who attacked our town. Well, this was a success.

It was a shame that the stones that produced the monsters were gone...

"Later, if we look closely at what was left in the room, we may be able to find out more of the enemy's home base. Well, I'll try my best."

That's what Mr Crowe says, with a fairly clear face. This seems to be her area of expertise, so I'll leave it to her. Thank you for your help.

... so Mr. Crowe touched my neck.

"Corn. Did you catch the model again?

"Huh? Oh, yeah."

Mr Crowe was wearing a black hat. The black wig is now moving from the ghost's dress to my collar wrap. Fluffy and very comfortable to touch.

"... hey. We're going to model him."

"No, I thought it might be just right for the model to work...."

Look, this is just right when you want to draw a little foggy landscape. I think it will create an atmosphere.

"But it's black. If you want to do a misty landscape, I'd appreciate it if it were white. I wonder if this guy will turn white after washing...."

"No, I don't think that black is dirty, Corn-san...."

"... I can't tell you, if the corn does, it might turn white."

Well, then, let's try it when we get back. Everything's a challenge!

I'm home.

"Welcome back! Corn! What is this black fluffy guy?! Tell me!"

"Uh, ex-dress, now collar-wrapped dress."

We were all greeted when we returned to the city of the woods. It was Carnelia who jumped first. She seemed to be worried, so she gently took it off her neck and wrapped it around Carnelia's neck. "Fluffy, moisturizing and comfortable to touch! '. Very popular.

"Dear Corn... are you hurt?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm not hurt."

And then, Julia... not, uh, Princess Large. She greeted me with a very worrying face. I didn't have anything to worry about.

"Princess Large, I've been worried about you all along. Oh, come home sooner!

"Thank you for worrying about Lyla."

"Wow, I'm not worried! I was just wondering if Claire, Faith, Laocles and Mersen would be having fun swinging around because of you! Anyway, you grabbed a new model again, didn't you?

Oh, yeah. Exactly. Wow, it looks like Lyla sees everything...

"Exactly."

I gently put out skeletal specimens. [M]

... and the skeleton specimens began to greet each other. Polite.

"Ha, Hone-san...!

"Ugh, wow, I'm surprised! Oh, hey, Corn! If you're gonna cum like this, just tell me before you cum!

The skeleton specimen apparently surprised Ange and Lian. I'm sorry about that.

... but Ange is gently coming out of Lean's back, approaching one of the skeleton specimens, gently reaching out. The skeleton specimen then bends its gaze to Ange and gently grips Ange's hand. That way, Ange already smiles. Yeah, that's right. These bones are understandable bones.

"... you can make the monsters understand you."

The Princess Large who was watching said so and sighed, but I don't think I can do anything about it.

Then we'll wait for Krah's analysis, and then we'll meet at the tactical conference.

"Really... So, the monster is definitely moving."

"I see. In addition to the sword of the brave, it seems that there are other targets, but for now, the monster's purpose is the resurrection of the Devil King. That means interrupting a brave man.... is that right?

When Claire asks, snap snap snap snap snap, skeletal specimens start ringing. The audience is lively.

... Mr Crowe read a lot from the envelopes and diaries he brought back. However, since the ghost's lifetime appearance was the main one, it seems that he didn't really know what the ghost was using the monster for.

That's why Mr. Crowe went with me to interview skeletal specimens. Again, I asked the patient questions, sometimes drawing pictures... and then I realized that she was empowered by the monster, that she was able to realize and create monsters with black crystal balls, and that she was going to attack the Red Gard territory.

In other words, what Mr. Ghost was doing was subcontracting. Some of the monsters are smart, and they're empowering people like the Ghost, so they're attacking the Redgard realm.

... but there's something that bothers me a little.

I wonder if Mr. Marpink did too.

Yes. Before Princess Large came here, the town was involved in monsters.

"Oh, that stupid guy? I don't think so. He said he was being instigated by a monster."

Lyla is spicy... In other words, all the women in this forest are spicy or strong. Ange and Carnelia don't think they're strong because they're still girls, but when they grow up, they'll get hot...

"Huh? Was there a monster's hand in this forest before I came?

"Yeah, just a little bit."

Princess Large is confused. Yeah, that's right. I thought it was because she ran in here that there was a monster attack... but when I think about it carefully, Mark Pink is like the ghost, "The one who was empowered by the monster and attacked the forest town." The way I do it is very different.

When I think about it, it doesn't change whether Princess Large comes or not... but I don't think that only the sword of the brave and Princess Large are being targeted.

"But I didn't hear anything particularly about Mark Pink from you guys...."

Claire leans her head slightly against her chin and is worried. Ah, it seems that the way you call yourself Mr. Crowe is a nasty way to call you. That's you. [M] That's you. [M]... I'd call him a thief, but it might be fun to have something like this.

"I don't know, that ghost woman and Marpink didn't know each other existed."

"I guess.... giving someone who can be truncated at any time a separate job ensures that the identity of the mastermind is not cracked. It's a routine."

Really? Is that what subcontracting is all about?... Mr. Marpink, how are you? I'm starting to feel a little pitiful.

"... I don't really understand, but shouldn't we gather people like that and cooperate?

Lian says that strangely.... I'm glad to hear this from Lian. He has been in the woods for about a year and has been working with others completely. I'm glad to see this change. [M]

"Well, you'd better consolidate your strength. That means....."

"Did the mastermind dare not cooperate because he feared a subcontractor rebellion, or was each given a different purpose?"

That's what Faye and Laocles are saying and thinking. Yes, but I don't understand the idea that when it solidifies, it starts to rebel. However, each of them was given a different purpose, so it's more fulfilling. Anyway, not only has Princess Large been targeted, but Mr. Marpink has been here.

Mr. Ghost and Mr. Marpink, I don't think they had the same purpose. Mr. Ghost's purpose was undoubtedly the sword of a brave man, and when Mr. Marpink came, there was no sword of a brave man in the woods. So....

"I see. I think he was given a different purpose. Those targeting the sword of the brave, those targeting the brave... and those targeting something originally in this forest. We have a lot of enemies."

... there's so much to think about!

It was then.

I thought I heard a bang... outside the window.

"... you don't have to stick around that much."

There's a bird. It's sticking to the glass window and peeking at us, so I can see the feathers pressing against the glass window. I feel like this guy always comes at weird times.

... ah.

"Maybe this bird wanted to strengthen the bond because the sword of the brave came."

When a hole was drilled in the boundary, the bird asked me. "This is why you turned me into a Spirit."

At that time, the birds took a slightly loathsome reaction of tilting their heads as they ran away... well, maybe it was really 'no'.

... then, what is in this forest?
