75 [66] Spirit Village Defense Battle ② ~ Enemy ~.txt (1/2)

A ravine beyond the Demon Fog Forest to the south.

There was a shadow that ran effortlessly along the twisted rocky surface of the foothold.

(A little further.)

The scent helped him determine his exact location and he continued running without hesitation.

It wasn't long before he stopped at a rocky place where the owner of the scent was likely to be, and called out to him without shouting, but with a volume of voice that could not be overheard in the quiet of the place.

'There's someone in there, isn't there? Come out if you're not an enemy of Hu and his friends.

One beat, two beats... There was no response, so Fumil was about to issue a warning next, but when he moved his gaze, he suddenly caught some kind of wobbly black object coming and going from a gap in the rocky area.

”....Hiding, you mean? You see that black stuff, right?

”Oh, they found me. This is great, lady!

The owner of the spaced-out voice appears from a gap in the rocky area.

A beautiful girl of about ten years old with lightly wavy, dark purple hair tied up on both sides.

Although it was the first time for Fumil to meet her, she was the spirit ──Yomi who came to help Julius, whom Virum had confronted in the Humane Kingdom.

Although the way she didn't warn Huumil at all and conversed with the two black objects that wriggled erratically, 'It's amazing~', it was eerie, but it was very hard to believe that they were adversaries.

''I'll ask you, just in case. Who are you?''

'Yeah? Yomi is Yomi, okay? This is Nai-chan and this is Mea-chan.

Hmm. So, Yomi, you're an enemy of the Fu?

”Hmm? Doesn't ”teki” mean ”bad thing”? Yomi, wouldn't you do anything wrong?

Even though he felt a little irritated by the conversation that he couldn't get to the point at all, Fumir didn't think the girl in front of him was someone who would attack their village.

'Yes, that's fine then. Well, then.'

Deciding that there was no harm in it, Fumil hurriedly turned on his heel to go to join Meldina and the others, but his path was blocked by two black objects that suddenly appeared in front of him.

''...What, what do you mean?''

”Hey, girlie. Play with Yomi.

Fumil's eyes narrowed slightly as he turned around to see Yomi looking at her with a bland smile and expectant gaze.

''I don't have time for that,''

Now, Huemil needs to get to his family as soon as possible.

(If he runs as fast as he can, he can shake them off.)

Just as you are about to step out onto a black object to force your way through...

”What? If you won't play with me, I'll tell my sister's place to the humans.

An innocent malice pierced through Fumir.

His entire body hair stood up in reverse, his four canine teeth and the claws on his hands and feet grew sharply, and his eyes, which were always sleepy, opened wide.

''I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry, I can't help you right now, I guess.

At the time when Fumil had confronted Yomi, in the grasslands to the west of the Demon Fog Forest, adventurers and mercenaries were waiting for Guild Master and employer Larsen's command now and then.

''Gentlemen! I've said it again, this is a request from the Rastabelle Empress! The spirits captured will be purchased by Rastabel, and as for the rest of the loot, it will belong to the one who gets it!

Unlike a disciplined army, the quickest way to boost the morale of the mercenaries is to flicker huge rewards to them.

In fact, their eyes turn gleaming when they hear that all of the loot, except for the spirits, can be taken as their own.

''Furthermore, we were able to borrow some of the new weapons that Rastabel had developed independently. With these, there's no need to fear the demons that nest in the Demon Fog Forest! It is you who will conquer this forest, the uncharted territory! We'll take our vast wealth and the greatest fame into our own hands!

”'Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!'

In addition, many adventurers are also concerned with fame.

The adventurers who have achieved fame are sometimes recruited by the government, and when they do, they are promised a high standard and stable life.

It's not a bad thing, but it's probably inevitable that adventurers who are constantly in danger yearn for a stable life.

Move on!

”'Oooooohhhh!

At the same time as Larsen's command, those who have taken up positions in the front row begin their assault.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

The Blaze Wall.

Suddenly, a wall of wildly burning flames appears in front of them as they rush in single-mindedly with their eyes on the forest.

''What the hell is this?
