174 170 Time goes by and the surroundings move even if the aftertaste is bad (1/2)

Thanks to the support from the headquarters and the central part of the Demon King's Army, the temporary recovery was much quicker than I thought it would be, and it was so quick that it could be called astonishing.

Thanks to this, the project of the testers was able to resume safely.

There was some anxiety from the testers as we resumed, but the testers, who were used to thinking that a little risk is nothing to worry about, only had to explain that in this world it is normal to have a ruckus, but they understood the difference in security between Japan and this world, and also realized that we cannot move forward if we give up on this kind of thing. He challenged the forest of spirits.

There were troubles, but the way you challenged the forest of spirits again in search of new encounters, whether you became bolder or tougher will be divided.

Looking away from her back, I've been thinking the same thing since that day.

It doesn't mean that this project will end without a hitch, but I've been thinking about what Muille said that day.

Muille's words, he said that the fuss is not over yet.

I'm curious, but I can't help thinking about it.

You can't get your work done if you stop to think about it.

Now that the cleanup is going well and the project is back on track, you shouldn't have been so worried.

At any rate, my objective for this project was achieved.

It's so boring being out there.

”That's what you say while grinding away at my magic.

It's our common sense to use the magic of the contractor when it manifests itself.

Having reached my goal, I was basically a ranger, waiting at a vantage point like this so that when something happens, I can quickly join the support of the testers.

As if to say that my worries are trivial, the full moon illuminates the blue-white forest of spirits, fantastically attracting the scene.

This is the spirit of time and space, Mr. Valus, a very powerful spirit.

”My goodness, don't look at it so much, okay?　I'm embarrassed.

”Hahaha! Even friendlier, my son-in-law, you've signed a contract with a good spirit!

And I'm not the only one here.

One is an old man who doesn't look like an old man, Mr. Muille, who looks young and youthful today.

And the other is a spirit with powerful and matchless abilities despite her ordinary appearance, who could be mistaken for the neighborhood lady who sips from a teacup while floating in the air without a snake.

The guide, Muille, continues to be with you in the form of assisting me, and she said she wanted to meet with you, so I summoned her like this.

I carried out the summoning procedure imprinted in my head, and it manifested successfully.

At first, Muil tried to kneel down and hang his head, but he appeared with a teacup in one hand and told Vals that the least amount of politeness was fine, so now they are treating each other as if they were friends drinking tea.

You can also use the same kind of magic power as a training tool.

And.

”Hey, Masaru, isn't this meat ready, that it's time for you to go?

”Wait a little longer, it's still raw. Eat the onions you were grilling earlier.

”Look, look, look, this way!

”Let's go!　I'm going to get it!

”Amie, are you okay?

”Haha, my muscles hurt from dancing a little too much.

Behind me, a group of heartless people who have been forced to watch over their seniors are having a BBQ.

”These kids in the back are pretty unique.

Hmmm, the groom is very busy around here.

”It's a very positive assessment to hear, but as a person who knows the facts, I can't be honestly happy about it.

Looking back, the two neighbors gave a favorable assessment of the scene they saw, but seeing the people who were in a touristy mood, they couldn't help but laugh at their assessment.

You can find a number of different types of shoes that you can choose from.

You can see that he is a true yakiniku bokken.

Occasionally, he would bring the fruit on the plate over his head and place it in the mouth of the blue frog, Mizusuke, who would extend his long tongue to eat it.

In front of him is Minami, who is biting into the grill and waiting for the meat to cook.

His face is drooling, and he reaches for a piece of meat, only to be smacked with a slap of his hand, reluctantly eating more onions on top of it.

Above them floats Yura, a cloud-shaped spirit, lazily inhaling the smoke of the roasted meat.

On a bench set up a short distance away, Kitamiya is trying to take care of Snow, a white cat lying on the table in catnip, but the white kitten, the snow spirit, is just brushing the catnip away with its paws, so it's hard to tell which one is being played with.

However, Kitamiya himself is satisfied with it, or perhaps the expression on his face is so relaxed that he doesn't usually show it, as if to say that his attitude is also cute.

And the scarred Kaido, sitting obediently at his feet, shows a branch to the shiba-inu-like spirit, which is flickering with a red flame at his back, and tells him to go get it.

Until a couple of days ago, Kaido had been bitten on his head, hands, and feet, and was so bitten that he thought he didn't have any bitten parts, but finally he persevered and won, and was able to form a master-servant relationship like that.

The branch that was thrown as part of the master-slave communication was caught in mid-air, but as soon as the fire spirit Hayate held it in his mouth, it ignited and burned, and he brought it to his master in a hurry, but the branch was carbonized, and Kaido was caressing the spirit with his ears hanging down, comforting him.

And finally, speaking of Amelia, a cheerful sign of health, lies on her back on a separate bench from Kitamiya to soothe her body.

She is not injured or ill.

In the excitement of signing a contract with the spirit, you danced not one day, but three days straight, playing with the contracted spirit, Winn, a small animal with light green fur that looks like a squirrel and a cat divided by two, and you are unable to move due to muscle aches all over your body.

That crucial contracted spirit seems to be tougher than Amelia, and is still flying around her energetically.

Looking at such a peaceful scene, you can smile and return your gaze to its original position.

Normally, I would be in the middle of that scene, but right now I'm not in the mood.

......

”Groom.

Seems like you're running away from work, but let me use that excuse just now, to cover up my feelings of not being in the mood to play and engage in business.

?　What is it?

Muille quietly and softly calls me.

”Have you thought about what I said the other day?

”I'd be lying if I said I didn't care about .......

You're going to be able to find out what's going on in your life.

I've heard from Kaylee that she was able to escort this man back to the headquarters safely.

From there, the supervisor's specialized team will handle the rest.

I hear it will start with a full-scale medical treatment and equipment survey, but we'll see how much information we can learn.

In the meantime, the magic sword ruckus in the dungeon will probably come to an end.

But we won't be able to reach a fundamental solution.

I didn't originally think or assume that this would solve everything.

......

The problem isn't solved, but it's improved.

But I can't say this is good for me without leaving a hazy feeling in my heart.

I'm not a jack-of-all-trades, and I'm aware that I'm not a genius.
