Chapter 47: VS. Dungeon Monster
After she finished cleaning up the boar at, Dianeia relaxed and made herself at ho sitting on one of the chairs in my garden.
She drank so tea that Sakura had brought out.
「Thank you for your efforts Dianeia-san.」
「Yeah, thank you Sakura-dono.」
Because of the nurous tis she had co to visit, they were able to interact on the level of acquaintances.
「Thank you as well Daichi-dono. I’ll bring you the paynt at the next available opportunity.」
「Ok, it’s fine either way. But Dianeia, what did you co here for today?」
Didn’t you co here for sothing more specific?
「——-oh…yeah! I had sothing I needed to report to you.」
「Report?」
「Yeah, according to Anne-dono the monsters in the forest are becoming more active, but it also seems to be happening around the town.」
Huh, that seems like a problem. I wonder if sothing’s happening underneath the town?
「Umu. That’s why I ca to warn you. It might not be dangerous for you, but I think you shouldn’t approach just in case.」
「You ca here to tell that?」
Dianeia nodded.
She’s a really conscientious girl, isn’t she? Though this seems pretty roundabout. Anne could’ve just told this or she could’ve sent a ssage.
「Yes. But we were unable to determine when it would happen, so it turned into sothing like this….I’m sorry.」
「You don’t need to apologize. Hmm…anyways, I don’t want to put myself in danger, so I’ll rember your advice.」
I’ll tell Hesty and Sakura as well.
「But will you be alright with the increase in monsters around the town?」
「I can’t say it’ll be alright……but we have increased the number of defensive personnel so I think we’ll survive. We also have so more plans to deploy further around the entire town.」
「Hm? They don’t surround the entire town yet?」
「Yes, we don’t have enough to cover the border near the forest…so I’ve been doing the hunting there.」
She was doing sothing like that? It seems difficult to be a princess…
「I may be a princess, but I am also a Grand Mage (Archmage) so I have the duty to protect the town as well. This is just par for the course.—-Also this ti is easier. We had enough ti to set up our defenses.」
No you didn’t! The border of the magic forest is completely undefended, isn’t it??
「Nonono it’s fine. Within a day or so adventurers will co to reinforce us. After that, our defenses will be perfect.」
「Oh? Is that so?」
If she thinks It’ll be perfect then maybe it’ll happen.
Be that as it may, it doesn’t have much to do with .
「Do your best in moderation Dianeia」
「Ok, well then. With this I bid you——–」
And as she was about to finish her customary farewell…
—BOOM!—
From within the forest an explosion happened.
「What….was that?」
「How should I know?」
But sohow it looks like smoke is coming out of the forest now…
「——this…..is it possible that this is the beginning of the monster outbreak?」
Dianeia’s face beca pale.
This got serious quickly.
「That’s right. There’s no way that things would always go my way…..I’m sorry Daichi-dono! Please excuse ! —《Teleport》!」
She said and disappeared from my garden.
*********************************
「……man, what a busy lady.」
「Well, Dianeia-san has her own circumstances.」
This monster outbreak sounds dangerous.
I should avoid approaching.
All that’s left is telling Hesty.
「Heey! Hesty.」
As I was about to go to Hesty’s cabin I noticed sothing.
「What the heck is that?」
At the border between the forest and my garden…there was a small bipedal animal.
Its entire body was pitch black and it had wings and sharp horns.
It looked like a demon.
「A monster huh?」
「It appears so.」
That monster was gathering a mass of jet-black flas in its hands and,
「——」
It casually threw it towards .
「So I guess it’s hostile…..Golem.」
It was a dangerous so I summoned a golem to act as my shield.
The tree golem blocked the black fla then approached the monster after being slightly scorched.
And just like that it tried to knock the monster down but,
「—Ki—」
The monster moved nimbly like a monkey and dodged.
Well, the golem was independently practically incapable of performing fine actions, so it couldn’t be helped.
「It’s quite nimble huh? Then —Wood Armor—」
So I’ll do it myself.
I wore my wood armor and prepared to fire.
What I would fire was the strong and hard wooden bullet.
「Fire!」
「!?」
The high-speed bullet flew out and hit.
[house-magic-vol2-15]
The monster’s body was crushed.
「Gieeee….」
And with a groan it fell.
It rapidly disappeared leaving only a black gem behind.
「That was splendid Master!」
「Mm, but sothing dropped.」
「Magic stone….or at least it looks like one. It seems quite listless. It looks as though its body was made from the magic in this stone.」
「Heh, what a strange creature.」
As I picked up the black stone and looked at it,
「n, it’s loud, did sothing, happen?」
Hesty ca out of the cabin.
「Yeah, I beat so weird monster and this dropped.」
I said and showed the stone to Hesty. Upon seeing it she knit her eyebrows in a frown.
「This is a, dungeon demon magic stone. From the size, it should be a, Servant Demon. But why, would it be here?」
「Is this strange?」
「n…..there isn’t, a dungeon, around here. But this is sothing, that only dungeon monsters, drop. The dungeon monsters, might be breeding, in the forest.」
Fumu fumu, I see. This might an that the forest’s ecosystem is changing.
「Will it have a negative influence on my ho?」
「n~n, no but…..dungeon monsters are combative and cunning. So, they’re a pain……see look over there.」
Hesty pointed and there I saw another servant demon. It was quite a distance away but,
「Wow, they really are hostile.」
In its hand was another of the usual black fla ball.
So, this is what she ant by combative?
「They will, maintain a certain distance, and if you turn your back, they’ll throw fire, at you.」
「What’s up with that harassnt? Annoying.」
「The fire is also, quite strong. Your golems, only get a bit scorched, but normally, they’d be burnt.」
So, once they find you, they’ll continue to monotonously attack you forever. Plus, they’ll throw fire as soon as you turn your back?
Honestly, they sound unbelievably irritating.
「…….what a pain. I’ll go clean ‘em up Hesty.」
「n, should I, help too?」
「Yeah, if you see them around the house I’d like you to clear them away. I’ll do the interior.」
「Understood」
And so Hesty began running in the opposite direction.
This way my house will be safe.
All that’s left is to crush these annoyances.
While I was synchronized with Sakura and the armor, I went into the forest to aim and fire.
The wood bullet hit.
Then the servant demon turned into a magic stone and fell to the ground.
「Fuu, that should be the last one…..」
Or so I thought, but further inside the forest I saw 2 more.
Then they saw …
And they began throwing fireballs.
「Ughhhhh…..ANNOYING….」
「I wonder where they’re coming from.」
「I don’t know where, but it’s annoying to go after them one by one. I’ll crush them if they co.」
「Understood.」
And so, Sakura and I ventured deeper into the forest while shooting down the servant demons.
