206 姿を見せぬ謎の魔物 (1/2)

Zeraphitis gave me a ride to the nearest village, which was surprisingly peaceful.

I'm not sure if the problem has been solved. I'm sorry, ............, but I heard there was some kind of demon coming from the royal city of Vintaria.

What do you mean you came from the capital .........?

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the following tips to help you get started.

”Are you sure this is the village of the child in the letter?

”I can't read. ......... Show it to the chief's house at the far end. The chief's house.

”The chief's house, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.” ...I followed the instructions and went through the village.

It's a surprisingly old village, ...... with fine thatched roofs and paddy fields. ......... Is that rice they're planting? It's a little strange for a rice paddy. .... The leaves are very pale.

The color of the leaves is very pale, but the stems look very sturdy and thick, and if you are used to seeing rice fields in Japan, the difference will definitely make you feel uncomfortable.

Is there a lack of nutrients in this thick-stemmed variety?

In general, the more fertilizer a rice plant receives, the darker its green color becomes, and the less fertilizer it receives, the lighter its color becomes. At first glance, it may seem that it is better to use more fertilizer and store more nutrients, but the more nutrients in the leaves, the more locusts will gather and eat the leaves, and the earlier the fruits grow, the more birds will damage them. However, if the leaves are nutritious, locusts will gather and eat the leaves, and if the fruit is harvested too early, it will be damaged by birds. There are many farmers who carefully cultivate their rice by watching the surrounding rice fields.

For now, let's go to the chief's house. The chief's house! There's no point in taking a detour, is there? There's no point in stopping.

I managed to find the chief's house while scurrying around, and called out from the empty door.

”Excuse me, are you sure this is the chief's house?

Inside, several women and an old man were having a discussion, and all eyes turned to Masaru when they heard an unfamiliar voice.

I'm Masaru, I'm from King's Landing. I've been told that you've been affected by a demon, who should I talk to about it?

”From King's Landing? I'm already here. It's been a month since I sent the letter and I think I've only just reached King's Landing.

Oh, it hasn't been long since the letter arrived in King's Landing, but the god Zelaphitis has brought me here. ...

I've been told by Adelina that no one in this world uses the name of a god to commit fraud, so I'm going to push the name of Zelaphitis all over the place to make him understand. I've actually been sent to Zelaphitis, so I'm not lying.

”Now, let me explain the current situation in the village: .......... I'll tell you what's going on in the village.

The mayor's story was so long that it made me sleepy, so I'll translate it as follows: Livestock are being attacked by a mysterious monster. The demon seemed to be a carnivore, and there was a lot of blood at the scene, and it had dragged something with it. Three people from the village have already been killed, and since there have been no such cases in the past, they think that some unknown demon has come down from the mountains.

I see... almost 30% of the livestock has already been eaten and the livelihood is becoming unsustainable. I see.

”Considering the pace at which they're being attacked, I'm thinking it's one demon. It's true.

It is true that there is not more than one attack at a time, so the enemy is one, and if it attacks and eats goats and people every day, it would be a very big eater. Even a bear with such a large body does not eat its prey every day.

So, if you want to see the most recent place where the demon hunted, please visit .... ”Okay.
