Welcome to the Monsters' Guild ~ The Strongest Group Who Did Everything, for a Price ~

"Rise, you're being targeted now!

and shortly after Merck, a former colleague of Rise, said, reports of capturing suspicious humans were brought about by Arakune, Rise's submissive demon.

"You look like a normal man, but you have an octopus in your hand. Probably someone who trained in combat."

Look at the hand of the man that Merck captures and decide so.

They came to the shadows of the hills where the demons were playing to hide the captured man from the carpenters' eyes.

"Aren't you a peasant or an adventurer?

"No, you're not a peasant this way of muscularizing. Possible adventurer, but not equipped. This is assassination gear."

So Merck took out a bottle containing a black-baked dagger and a creepy colored liquid from inside the man's clothes.

"It's poison. The knife is also blackened at the expense of sharpness to reflect the light. The fact that you've been wandering around your ranch is not what the people and merchants in town are after."

I heard it was poison and the atmosphere was tight.

"Rise! I knew you should be back in the army! I don't know when this is gonna be irrevocable!

Letty blues her face and tries to persuade Rise.

That appearance was desperate not to think only because he was a former colleague.

"...... I can't decide right away. There are things we need to do and do."

"Not if you're saying that! They're after my life!

Letty eats down, but Rise meditates his eyes without falling vertically down his neck.

"Letty, you shouldn't be too unscrupulous. Rise also needs time to think."

"But!"

"I'm the one who wants to bring Rise back. But don't be in a hurry."

"……… OK."

Letty still eats down, but Merck's persuasion restores calm.

"Then Rise, we'll take this man back to town. I'm staying at the Town Inn for a while, so I want you to come whenever you change your mind. Of course it's coming from us."

"I'll definitely come and convince you every day!

After Letty made a strong declaration, they left for town.

It is the Rises and the Demons who will be left behind.

"What are you going to do, Master Rise?

Lamia sees Rise with an anxious face.

Their submissive demons are distrustful of the army that drove Rise out.

Some demons even have hostility.

"Uh, that's right. I'm not going back at the moment."

Demons relieved by Rise's words.

"But where did that man come from?

Rise leaks potpourri and doubt.

"Still not in our neighbor Serga, who was arguing with us?

Rise nodded at Lamia's words.

"Normally, yes."

But he didn't seem convinced by the answer.

"Something bothering you?

"No, the army really wants me to come back."

"I don't know much about human warfare, but I can understand the military's idea of leaving us with the means to fight our advantage."

Lamia is a monster, but because she is a monster of half a man and half a beast close to a man, she had the intelligence and flexibility to understand what people think.

"If only humans could act on reason alone, they would."

(Plus, there are a few other things that bother me)

There was something in my heart about Rise, but I didn't dare speak to him to keep Ramia and the others from worrying.

Lamia didn't realize it, but the demons around her glanced at it.

"Well, I'm not going back. Business in this town is finally on track! Besides, you can't go back to the army until you've paid for the dragon's saddle!

I hear Couscous and the demons laughing, and Rise relieves me from the inside.

Even though the battle is over, it's ridiculous to let the demons fight. Yes, he was thinking.

"Right, and because of that, my parents are building me a new home, and when I get back here, it's a loss to build a house!

"Yeah, that's right."

◆

At night, Rise looked at the sky as it was lit by the burning lights.

Beautiful skies without clouds.

And that's where I hear the cat squeal.

"Are you back?"

As Rise turned around, there was an adorable cat covered in fluffy hair.

"Ketsey, I'm home."

When the cat suddenly talks, she gets up on two legs and rides on Rise's lap.

Yes, this cat was also Rise's obedient demon, the cat's demon Ketsey.

"So? Did you get any information?

In response to Rise's question, Ketsey looks back and silently offers her palm.

……

Rise unconsciously stretched his fingers out into Ketsey's palm and punnied the meatballs.

"So-so, meatball massage...... otherwise! Information costs!"

Hoo as Ketsey stands her ears and tail! Raise your voice more intimidating.

"Just kidding."

That said, Rise removes the dried meat from the skin bag.

"Every time."

Ketsey is an obedient demon but unlike any other obedient demon.

He made a pact to Rise to become an obedient demon by asking him to pay for information on a regular basis.

Few submissive demons sought such consideration, but rather tended to follow a large number of demons like Rise.

"So, you have information, right?

Rise asks Ketsey again about dried meat.

Ketsey looks back at Rise and responds with one hand gently raised.

"Of course not. I got the information I need."

It's a long night for demons.
