He was still alive?

I thought he was dead because he was smacked to death by a tree as much as he wanted.

”Thank you, Ciel. Mr. Druid, can you eat this demon?

”... Ivy is Ivy even at times like this”

Hmm?

What do you mean?

I take it for granted.

Mr. Druid smiles bitterly at me tilting his neck.

I wonder what, am I being ridiculed?

”Hahaha, don't be obstinate. It's more of a demon than that, but he was acting unusual, so you'd better report it to the guild and give it to him.”

”Oh well. It had a different vibe.”

”Oh, I thought this demon had a more relaxed personality. No way. Is something like what happened to our village still happening here?

Eat the immense magic of demons and become ferocious?

Wow, I hate that.

We approach the dead demon and see if there's anything wrong.

You don't seem to see any notable changes.

When I looked at the foot of the demon, I saw a skin string tangled in my leg.

”This, what is it?

”Which one?

Mr. Druid confirmed to me that he was pointing to the demonic foot.

And if I took that tangled thing, it was a magic item with a small demon stone on it.

”This.”

”You know what?

”Oh, it's a short time, but it's something that strengthens my body. The speed of the attack, the weight of the attack, it's incredible.”

The demon used such an amazing magic item?

Is that it?

I wonder how you activated the Demon Stone?

Some kind of coincidence or something?

I'll borrow an item from Mr. Druid to take a look.

The colors of the Demon Stone are clear, blue inside, beautiful Demon Stone.

The string that holds the demonic stone in place is a normal skinned string and has no particular characteristics.

”Maybe the adventurer failed.”

”Hmm?”

”Sometimes I fail to use magic items when defeating demons.”

What kind of failure would take a magic item from a demon?

”Is this item something you throw and use?

”No, it's common for users to raise it from their necks and use it to strengthen their bodies.”

I see, that means.

”Does that mean the person who was using this died?

Mr. Druid wrinkles between his eyebrows at my words.

Is that still possible?

As I stared at the magic item, I noticed that someone was coming here slightly.

”Somebody's coming this way.”

Mr. Druid saw me, so he points in a direction that shows signs.

This direction goes hand in hand with the direction in which the demon came.

”Mr. Serpent and Ciel, can I ask you to hide a little? Was Sola finished with her treatment, good luck. It's a pain in the ass when you see me, so can I have you back in the bag?

”Nya-yay.”

”Puffy ~”

Mr. Sarpent and Ciel move on the tree.

No snow falls from the trees as it did earlier.

After all, Ciel was in quite a hurry earlier.

Put Sora in the bag, who was looking satisfied over Mr. Druid's head after the treatment.

”Mr. Druid, how's your arm?

”It healed beautifully without a trace.”

They showed me their arms, but there's not even a scratch on the skin under the clothes torn by demons.

”And uncomfortable?

”Oh, not at all”

”Good. Thank you for your help, Mr. Druid.”

To thank you, Mr. Druid smiles happily.

I find it a little stranger with a gentler grin than usual, but, well, I don't have a problem with it because I seem happy in person.

Then a little, five young adventurers showed up before us.

”Um.”

”Are you the owner of this?

Mr. Druid shows you the magic item that was tangled up in the demon's leg.

Look at that, young adventurers who look pale.

”Ha, what happened?

”That's...”

Simply put, one reason is that I did not study the magic item closely and used it.

And another fatal failure to assume that even demons stronger than ourselves can be defeated.

”When using a magic item, I think it was fundamental to use it with an understanding of what power it always possessed?

Mr. Druid's voice is very low.

This is out.

”I knew it would make me stronger.”

”So?”

Shit, Mr. Druid, I'm scared.

My face is kind of like a ghost......

…………

Adventurers who look at Mr. Druid and solidify.

Perhaps it's good for the young adventurers, who have been illusioned to be strong because of the success of their previous assignments?

”Well, I'll report this to the Adventurer Alliance.”

The young adventurers tried to stop Mr. Druid, but at a glance he became quiet.

Yeah, I think we should do that.

Because even I was hysterical to Mr. Druid the first time I saw him.

I seriously cut him off, he's terribly scared.
