’s not really a big deal)

On the way home, I could go to a brothel in a nearby town and have one of the girls clean me.
Getting a chance to visit new places on a business trip is one of the perks of working.

(Still, similar events have been appearing a lot recently isn’t there)

While it happened in a different place, there are few sightings of demon beasts movement.
I let my thoughts wander, while washing down the cookies I chewed with coffee.

(Maybe the spirit forest has finally reaching a dangerous state)

My familiars, Imosuke and Dangorou.
According to the two spirit beasts, the spirit forest has become a very difficult place to live in.
It seems that the reason why the Heavy Lancers have left the forest and invaded the Kingdom’s territory is because of the decrease in grasses, which was their food.

(It must be the same for those birds too)

It just so happened that they had wings, so they were able to fly over the northern country and reach here.
Otherwise, they would have been blocked by mountains and rivers.

(Even Zaratan thinks that the garden forest is better)

The spirit lake in the spirit forest.
The guardian of the lake is a giant spirit beast called Zaratan, which is two hundred meters long.
The old turtle had recently shrunk in size and moved into our garden.

(Well, that’s partly because his aim was the pomelos)

The pomelos, which grow in the garden forest.
In response to my request, Imosuke and Dangorou worked hard to plant and grow this fruit tree.
The fruit is Zaratan’s favorite.
Yesterday morning, he looked up from the pond at the pomelo tree and happily struck the surface of the water with his tail.
I recalled that scene.

「This year’s harvest is supposed to be in the fall」

That’s what Imosuke had told me.
Last year, when they harvested before summer, it was apparently a forceful approach by using potions.
Zaratan nodded, but he showed no sign of disappointment.
I’m starting to wonder if he really got the message.

『Don’t worry, he understand』

I glanced over at Imosuke on the branch of the pomelo tree, and he nodded and sent his thoughts at me.

『The next one is going to be more amazing』

Continuing after him was a spirit beast that looked just like the fifth instar larva of a swallowtail butterfly, while courageously slapping the branch with its butt.
The feeling that came over me at that moment was something like, 『I’ll show you its true flavor when its on the height of its season, so just you wait』.
I heard that the open-season plants harvested in the proper season are different from those harvested in the early season.
I’m very much looking forward to it.

(I’m glad I can leave the matter of the garden forest to Imosuke and the spirit beasts)

As expected of my first familiar.
I knew I could count on him to manage the garden forest well along with Dangorou and Zaratan.
Having made that decision, I returned from the garden forest to the living room.
And my consciousness returned to the present.

(Demon beasts and spirit beasts are overflowing out of the spirit forest.
Shall I suggest that possibility?)

A petite, goblin-like old man and a Santa Claus-like old man.
I nodded as I thought of the guild master and vice guild master of the merchant guild.
They are excellent and dependable employers.
All I had to do was say a few words and they would take care of the rest.

(Alright, let’s go home then)

There are no dropped items, so I’m as light as yesterday.
The remains are there, but they are scattered on the ground after having flown in the air.
When I looked at them this morning, it was clear demon beasts swarmed them during the night.

(Guess I’ll have him give up)

An acquaintance of mine, a reluctant old adventurer, was making a fuss about “cockscomb” and “pre-born eggs”.
And he said he would pay for it.
But I can’t give him what’s not there.

(Depart!)

I let the Old Lady get up and continued south along the highway.
A little further on, I spotted a group of golem-drawn carriages.

(The thing they carry… doesn’t seem to be pigs)

They were pulling a canopied carriage.
It is not the type that can carry living things.
It stopped before the crossroads, so I quickly caught up with it.
The figure on the driver seat turned to look at me, then pointed the finger of their left hand towards the east and withdrew it.

(What’s going on?)

Wondering what that meant, I made the Old Lady’s face turn to the road that stretches from the east.
What I saw was a line of humanoid creatures taller than the trees on the side of the road.

(Knights huh?)

They were approaching in a line.
They are not disorganized, but they are not as orderly as the Kingdom’s knight order.
It reminded me of the time when I was on an expedition to intercept the heavy lancers.
