The destination where he was dropped from the cliff by the Anno de Gaido duo was in a deep forest.

If it had been my previous self, I would have been injured to some extent, but now that I had gone through that hellish training, everyone was passively taking it and landing unscathed.

 

"That healing magic demon! I'm kidding!!"

 

He kicks the tree over and over again.

What's going on with it going to surpass my disgusting imagination?

 

"When I get home, I'm going to hit you and hit you...... I'm going to punch you!!"

 

The tree I kicked shattered, and I took a deep breath as I lowered my sigh as I fell.

For the time being, he looks back, setting the goal of this life to take revenge on the stupid white coat who repeats the devil's deeds in the name of healing magic.

 

"Sean, I'm tired......

 

For the time being, ignore Nono, who is losing his energy.

I'm sure this kid will stand up for something.

 

"Check your luggage!!"

"'Huh!!'"

 

I don't want to deal with those hot men.

However, checking luggage is an important task, so we also check the luggage that has been handed to us while kicking Veena's ass when the excitement has subsided.

 

"After all, it was worth coming here."

"Your reason for joining the Absolute Demon King Army is an ulterior motive."

"Yes!"

 

Honesty can be a deadly weapon sometimes.

Now I understand it painfully.

 

"I was asked to do it because I was like a friend, but I don't care anymore."

"Asked?"

"This is the story.

 

…… Let's not ask too deeply.

Now, let's say you open your luggage, shall we?

Well, it ...... food and other things you need for survival.

 

「…… Huh?"

 

When I opened the mouth of the bag, a stone rolled out.

　……。

Huh? Huh? Why?

I had a bad feeling that I didn't know how many times I had it today, and when I turned my bag over, I found a stone crammed together.

There is nothing in the empty bag.

No, it also contains something like a wait-and-see notebook.

 

"What's this......

 

When I opened it for the time being, I found that the first page was written with a pen and a sentence that seemed to have been written by Usato.

 

———

 

If you're reading this, you're in the woods!

You've been hit by a heavy load, and yes!

 

 

It's a big hit!!

 

———

 

"Mr./Ms. Elle, your face looks like a Grim Reaper, is that okay?"

 

Don't don't.

- She is so angry at Usato, who provokes her in the first sentence, that her emotions are almost nullified.

Returning to myself in the voice of Veena, I read the letter aloud.

 

"Well, one of the six bags is fake, and the food in the six bags is only for at least three days......

 

…… At this point, I wonder if he is aware that he is doing something quite bad.

Aren't the healing wizards of the Ringle Kingdom, who drop their subordinates off a cliff, absurdly abnormal?

 

"I want you to live in the woods with this, no, you guys who have survived rigorous training. I know this level of content is not enough."

"Captain......"

"Now is the time ...... get excited!"

"Don't ...... us that much!!"

"I'm just saying it, but I think the three of you are a little crazy."

 

It's Kevin's pollution that even the Veena says.

It's too late for Kevin and the others, so let's give up.

 

"'Don't worry, I'm looking out for you...... What's this scared of?"

 

This means that you are monitoring it so that you can see it even if you run away from it, right?

I'd like to wonder if they can understand us in the depths of the forest...... He could have done anything.

It's useless, but I look around and check the contents of Nono's luggage.

…… There was food, a water bottle filled with water, a simple medical tool, a blanket, a knife, and the rest was a weight.

 

"Guruooooo !!!"

"'Huh!'"

 

Brace yourself for the roar of some kind of monster.

This is...... ...... the menacing voice of a monster resembling a blue grizzly? Usato's partner Brulin hasn't come, so is it a different individual or another monster?

There are many bear-type monsters.

All of them are dangerous and nasty individuals, so it's a bit bad to be attacked in this situation.

Above all, the only weapon I have now is a knife, so I have to fight back with magic.

 

"Whew."

 

A bush about 30 meters away from here sways.

This is...... I'm aware of that, too.

Maybe it's only a matter of time before they attack.

 

"Nono, wake up!!"

"Well, I'm a cavalryman, so I'm not good at individual combat!?"

"You're not normal after all the training you've endured to this day!!"

"Aren't you sad to say that yourself......?"

 

　……。

Although he is about to cry at Nono's scathing point, he uses magic to wrap the wind in his body.

Kevin puts his hands on the ground and tries to manipulate the trees, while Wal partially cloaks his arm in rock armor and prepares to intercept the monster.

The bushes shake, and something slowly comes out.

Just as I was about to move into a combat posture, I saw the creature that came out and let out a stunned voice.

 

"Nya"

「…… Cat?"

 

What came out was a small black cat.

Is it just a newborn baby? It is larger than a palm, and its small body is caked with mud.

However, what caught my eye most of all was the two tails.

 

"Oh, isn't it a Lynncat?"

「…… Veena, do you know?"

 

He asks Veena as he lets his guard down.

I know that the kitten is a monster, but it's a monster I've never seen before.

 

"A monster in the form of a cat with two tails, it seems to be a very rare being with a magic eye, and it should be extinct now......"

"Do you mean to survive?"

"Possibly."

 

Vina nods in response to Nono's question.

Does that mean your body is covered in mud because you were attacked by that male monster just a moment ago?

Kevin and the others immediately let their guard down, wondering if they would not be hostile to such a small monster.

Then, a reincat approached me and rubbed its head against my leg.

 

「…… Nyah."

「……」

 

I pick up the kitten without hesitation.

My clothes get dirty with mud, but I don't want to do that.

The kitten squints pleasantly, and the feelings of resentment that have been accumulating in her heart disappear.

 

"What about this child?"

"Yes?"

"I will raise it"

"Huh."

"Can I name it Lynn?"

「…… Isn't that good?"

 

Okay, that's it...... done!

If there is only one dog in this situation, it is likely that the parents of this child are already gone.

In that case, I have no choice but to take responsibility for protecting it.

 

"Guoo

"Whew."

 

I've got something to protect, but it doesn't change what I have to do.

We were thrown into a forest infested with ferocious monsters.

Limited food, water and supplies.

A large monster.

The embodiment of the personified malevolence of Usato and Koga.

He survives in this hellish environment, and after surviving on it, he takes revenge on the guy from Usato.

The first step is to find a base, and then the next step is to secure food.

 

"Nyah."

"I'll protect you even if I'm the only one ......!!"

 

I'll definitely survive......!!

As I made eye contact with the "red-eyed" kitten in my arms, I was determined to resist the situation.

 

●

 

"Demons? It's going to come out, right? It's not a ferocious monster, though."

 

After pushing my men into the forest, Koga and I joined Hanna Mr./Ms.h, Uluru Mr./Ms. and Bullin, who had previously established a base on a high cliff overlooking the entire forest.

I now stroke the neck of Bulllin, who has given me two squeals, and answer Mr./Ms.'s question.

 

「…… What do you mean you're not a ferocious monster?"

"Hmm? Didn't I hear that either?"

"I told Koga, didn't I? …… It means exactly what it is. This forest is a bit of a special environment, and there are very few monsters with bad tempers."

 

You can't push your precious subordinates into a dangerous forest without thinking.

After checking the map with the Demon Lord, we decided on today's exercise.

 

"There is a miasma near here...... There are places where poisonous magic is rampant. There is no direct impact here, but the demons that are sensitive to magic don't like it, so they don't go near this forest very much."

「…… Is that what you mean? But isn't that the kind of training that Usato-kun was talking about?"

"Preconceived notions are something to be reckoned with."

 

Yes, that's not training.

That's why I casually emphasized the fact that there are ferocious monsters in the middle of the explanation.

 

"If you hear that a ferocious monster is going to appear, you can't help but be wary, right? So I'm going to let Bulllyn scream and make that preconceived notion a reality."

「…… Mr./Ms. Uluru, Keira. Is this person really human? It's a very vicious way to do it."

 

We're still in the middle of the story, so Hannah Mr./Ms., who has pulled over, calls out to Uluru and Kira, who are sitting around a bonfire that has been hidden by phantom magic Mr./Ms.

 

"Well, Usato and the others were really thrown into the forest with demons, so you're still kind...... I wonder if it's true?"

"If that's what you need, I'll not."

"What, is this something wrong with me? No, no, it can't be ......."

 

I smile wryly at Mr./Ms., who is completely upset.

It's an easy exercise once you realize it.

Now that the Demon King has power over the land and brings balance, there is no need for food.

 

"The important thing is that they don't see through the imaginary monster that they've created."

 

They must contend with the threat of invisible and invisible monsters.

You don't have to worry about being attacked directly.

You won't get hurt.

 

"The existence of imaginary monsters that cannot be solved by defeating them will surely wear away at their hearts."

「……」

"It's about how much you can bring out your best in such a situation."

 

While accepting the gaze of Mr./Ms. Hannah, who looks at me as if she is looking at an incredible creature, I leave my back to Bulllin, who is lying behind me.

 

"Koga is on standby in case of emergency"

"Oh."

"Mr./Ms. Hannah, please show me a hallucination of a monster with phantom magic, not something radical, just something that tells you that there is a monster."

"Hah, I understand."

"Uluru Mr./Ms. is on standby, just like Koga, in case someone is injured."

"It's Ryokai!"

"Bulllin, go into the woods and give him a roar regularly."

"Grua!!"

 

Keira is here with me.

…… Maybe you'll accompany me to the Demon Lord's request.

No, as someone who is in charge of her to Mr./Ms., I can't put her in danger.

 

"Hey, Usato, what's up with Nea?"

"Speaking of which...... You were there a while ago, weren't you?"

"Certainly not."

 

Koga and the others noticed that Nea was missing.

It's not like they disappeared on their own.

 

"Oh, I asked Nea for a job."

 

Beyond the forest below.

Check the appearance of Mr./Ms., who are about the size of a pea.

 

"It's important, work."

 

It's mentally tough, but it gave me emotional support and purpose in surviving in a forest where there are no guidelines.

In that sense, I have to acknowledge the efficiency of what Rose did.

I smiled faintly as I looked at Nea, who had become a red-eyed kitten.
