Episode 3.10-11-12-13 (2/2)
”No. It's doable to a degree, and if the enemy is stronger than the ape, I will simply take care of it myself.”
”T-take care? You're going to beat enemy stronger than Parade? W-well. I'll trust your decisions on that. At any rate, I want you to let Parade run around and fight as much as he wants.”
”Got it. I'll go with that.”
The things he should do will probably become clear naturally.

Parade turned out to be an extraordinarily huge longarm ape. He's only slightly shorter than Lecan. He probably weighs about twice of Lecan. About four times an ordinary longarm ape.
Doni hugged Parade, fed him, looking very intimate, or rather loathe to part.
”Ah, Lecan-san. This is Parade's meal.”
”You're telling me I've got to carry all this huh.”
”Yes. Parade is a big eater, so this much is just right.”
”Got it.”
Lecan carries the bag. Running in the forest while carrying this thing is quite a demanding request.
Doni whispered something in Parade's ear. Since there was mana emitted, it was probably an order.
And then, Doni pointed at the forest and loudly gave an order.
Parade ran out. That's some speed.
Lecan followed along leisurely.
”Why... Why did you come back?”
”Do you even need to ask, it was in the quest desc.”
”Why did Parade come along too?”
”Parade was intending to stay deep in the forest, but I ordered him to go back.”
”But, you don't have a magic whip with you.”
”Once I pressured him to show who's stronger between us, he displayed a pose of obedience. Afterward, I just ordered him to go back here.”
”P-pressure? You were able to pressure Parade? That can't be.”
”With this, this quest is done. I'll have the coin.”
”Yes... no! T-this is not good. Please redo it again tomorrow.”
”Well then, tell me what's not good. Was there a condition in the quest I wasn't able to accomplish?”
”T-that's...”
”Was it because I didn't let Parade run off in the forest?”
”Eeh? No, that's.”
”Tell me the truth. Why were you trying to let Parade go.”
Doni the tamer was someone weak at getting pushed.
He confessed the truth shortly.
