Chapter title: Investigation Report
A week has passed since the survey team entered the forest.
Fortunately, there were hardly any monsters that came to attack the base, and the knights and soldiers were waiting for the report while doing their jobs without a care in the world.
In the midst of this, a soldier on guard was looking towards the forest and saw……..
「Someone’s back.」
It’s still only a distant reflection, but a person is coming towards us.
「That armor is…. one of our soldiers」
It’s not hard to tell, since we’re wearing it too.
「Someone get the horses and go pick up the returning soldiers!」
The base was tense for the first time in a week.
「So, what the hell happened?」
The knight in charge of the base asked the Kuzmigo in front of him.
His armor was stained with mud and mucus, and his hair was caked with something viscous.
He had probably escaped in desperation, and he hadn’t had time to keep himself clean, but he was emitting a foul odor.
As everyone pinched their noses, Kuzmigo complained with tears in his eyes.
「There was an Arch Demon in the depths of the Lost Forest!」
「Wh! An arch demon!!!?」
Demons are recognized in this world as a natural disaster second only to the evil god.
In the past, various countries have been destroyed by demons.
「Is that… true?」
It was hard to believe, so the knight asked Kuzmigo for confirmation.
「There is no doubt about it. He himself said that the strangeness in the Lost Forest was his work.」
Kuzmigo’s words made the knight realize that the situation was serious.
「I can’t overlook that. Somebody send a fast horse to the kingdom as soon as possible. Request the dispatch of the Order.」
The Arch Demon is an S-rank certified monster. If it is discovered, the country must use all of its resources to take care of it.
The knight decides that now is the time to confront the world crisis. And…..
「Speaking of which, where are those people?」
The knight hesitated and remembered the presence of a princess visiting from the Kingdom of Ilkut.
「They’re not here at the moment, sir.」
She went to a nearby spring to purify herself. 1
「As soon as she returns, she will be escorted back to her kingdom with half of her bodyguards.」
There is a demon equivalent to an S-rank. They can’t leave the princess of another country in a dangerous place.
「Captain Kuzmigo.」
「Ha!」
When the knight called him by name, Kuzmigo assumed a stern demeanor.
「This information is truly a great favor. If it were not for your information, the kingdom would have been destroyed by the daemons. When we return, I will report this achievement.」 2
「I, I’m so happy.」
Kuzmigo turned his head and trembled with joy. From the moment he encountered the Ark Demon, he was prepared to die.
He succeeded in escaping the situation, but it was the lost forest where you never knew when a dangerous monster would attack.
He followed the landmarks and moved his feet with minimal rest, but he didn’t feel like living the whole time.
When he got out of the forest, he shed tears, thinking, “Now I’m finally saved”.
Perhaps it was because of this that he was now being evaluated.
The information about the Arch Demon is worth a fortune. Some of the soldiers who once took the heads of enemy generals from other countries rose to the rank of knight chief.
(Finally, my luck has turned.)
When Kuzmigo smiles a lowly smile so that no one can see him……..
「And now, Chief Officer Kuzmigo. What happened to the other people in the survey team?」 3
His body trembles with fear. This was because Kuzmigo had used the adventurers and his fellow soldiers as bait to escape.
But it was only for a moment that Kuzmigo was upset.
「Actually, the others fought the Ark Demon to let me escape…….」
Kuzmigo turned his head and tried to sound regretful.
「However, without their help, I would not have been able to deliver this information to you.」
The knight’s eyes teared up as he told them the made up story, and he made a regretful face……
「So, I’m sorry you had to hear that.」
The knight looked at Kuzmigo with kind eyes. And…….
「You can leave the rest to us and get some rest.」
The moment he heard those words, Kuzmigo was convinced of victory.
(They’ll never make it out alive against the Arch Demon. The information I bring back will save the country. In other words, I’m going to be a hero for saving my country.)
Kuzmigo, who had always pushed dangerous missions and hard work onto others, was convinced that this was the reason why he had become a soldier.
「That’s very kind of you. But I’m tired as well, so I’d like to take your word for it.」
The knights of the kingdom will take care of the rest. Kuzmigo relaxes when he can finally sleep in peace……..
「I, it’s bad! Knights!」
「What’s wrong?」
One of the soldiers appeared in a bloody state.
But Kuzmigo didn’t care and tried to rest.
「The survey team has returned, sir! As far as I can see, everyone seems to be okay!」
「Huh?」
Apparently, Kuzmigo’s rest was still far away…….
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
