Cheat Magician (Hazure Hantei) Chapter 32
Through the Devil's Forest
***---***
The next morning after spending the night in the Devil's Forest, the five people who were talking late are woken up to prepare for departure.
"Look, if you don't get up early, I'll seriously leave you. If we don't leave early, you'll be sleeping in the tent tonight. If you want to sleep in a decent bed, get up quickly!"
Thanks to the fact that I had been training until midnight, it wouldn't be a pain to get up even if I stayed up late.
However, it seems that the five people other than me slept after all.
"Hold on ... Kokubu, five more minutes ..."
"Yagi, you can sleep twice if you want, but it may be an orc, not me, who will wake you up next."
"Don't say such a cold thing, just a little more ..."
"Hmm ... I tell you, you can't afford to be lazy at all."
Even though they were just attacked yesterday, it seems that they've already forgotten the fear of the orcs attacking them.
So, I told the five people that there is a high possibility that the Devil's Forest has become active due to the mass outbreak of rock ogres the other day, and that if there are too many monsters, even Reinhardt and the others may not be able to protect them.
"In the worst case, if I escape to the shadow world, it doesn't matter what kind of monster comes, but where will Yagi escape?"
"No, that's ..."
"It goes without saying which is more dangerous, daytime or night. Yagi, can you run and escape in the Devil's Forest at night without lights?"
"No ... impossible."
"Everyone's lives are still in danger. You'll be in Volzard anyway by the end of the day, right?"
"I get it ..."
It looks like he's finally gotten some tension in his relaxed face, but I wonder how long it will last ...
After that, I hastened the preparations of the five people, had a simple breakfast, and immediately set out for Volzard.
The season is around late autumn, so the temperature is just right for walking.
It really feels good to walk on the green-smelling path, as long as there are no monsters.
Once we started walking, the old and new duo and the dekoboko sisters are fast because they are in athletic clubs.
The problem is, after all, fake glasses.
I'm tired, my legs hurt, I'm hungry ... He continues to complain with a series of complaints and whining, and I'm really getting angry.
Even after lunch, he demanded an extension of the break and it was difficult to get him to move.
"Just 10 more minutes ... I tell you, I'll walk after 10 minutes ..."
Everyone seems to be amazed, not only me, but also the other four people.
"Anyway, about the rock ogre? Isn't it too much to say 200? Isn't it really about 20?"
No matter how much you tell the truth, if he won't believe it, it won't work.
"Kokubu, let's throw this guy away, it's ok, I'll apologize to Yuika together with you later."
"Hey, look, you, hey ..."
"Shut up, grumble, grumble, you're complaining about just this, it's nothing compared to what Kokubu who prepared this for us went through."
"Unlike a muscle-brain like you, I have a limited amount of physical strength, so don't think you're great just because you can walk a little."
"Hmm, then you can die by being eaten by a monster alone. I'm sorry that we're accompanied by someone like you."
Because of the fake glasses, the atmosphere has become terrible.
It's only half a day left, so I seriously want to just shout at them to walk quickly.
[ Kent-sama, it's a troublesome one ... ]
"Hmm ... that's why I wanted to go quickly ... eh, what's that?"
When I answered Reinhardt's telepathic communication aloud, everyone looked around.
At the end of the road to Volzard, you can see a wolf-like monster.
[ That's a Gigawolf, ferocious, agile, smart, obsessive ... it's annoying. ]
"Gigawolf ... I think it's pretty big ..."
[ Yes, with four legs, the height to the head is about the same as an orc. ]
"Well ... isn't it too big to be called the same as an orc with four legs?"
Giga-sized wolf ... It's called a Gigawolf, so it's a size that seems to make the perspective crazy.
The five people seem to have noticed the size, and their faces are paling.
"Look at it, fake glasses, because you were messing around ..."
"Uh, no, I was walking, after all I was surrounded, don't blame an unrelated person!"
"What's that, it's too big ..."
"Kokubu, is that okay?"
"Hmm ... it's a little annoying ..."
"Eh ... no ... I'm scared ..."
Reinhardt and the others are already in the process of interception.
We are placed in the center of the three skeletons, and the other five are on the verge of panic.
A Gigawolf approaches us, walks around a bit, observing us, and then moving some more.
This one seems to be taking the role of attracting our attention, and looking around, it seems that they are trying to surround us like yesterday's orcs.
"How many heads are there in total?"
[ As far as I can see, there are five or six ... or maybe there are a few more. ]
[ Kent-sama ... nine in all ... ]
"Nine heads ... Then, please do the same as yesterday ..."
[ No, it's Kent-sama's turn today. ]
"What? My turn?"
[ Gigawolf's fur is prized, so the smaller the damage, the better ... in other words ... ]
"Ah ... I see, I should just defeat them with my attack magic."
[ That's right, Kent-sama, I'm counting on you. ]
"Okay ... I think it's difficult to aim from here ... I'm going for a bit, so please escort me."
[ Kent-sama, the boss of the flock is in front of you, so defeat him first. ]
"Yeah, I understand ..."
The five people who couldn't hear Reinhardt's telepathic communication seemed to be trying to judge the situation from my words, and Kobayashi-san asked.
"Wait a minute, will Kokubu fight?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"That's right, how? You don't have a weapon."
"Yeah, I'll explain later ... wait a minute ..."
"Hey, hey ..."
Even if you can't aim from the original place, I think that I can probably defeat it, but since it seems that you can damage strange places from the front, just put out your fingertips from the shadow and kill it with light attribute attack magic.
I moved to the feet of the boss who was close to me, and shot from under his chin towards the heavens, and it was killed without even raising a voice.
It was trying to sneak up in a low position, so it died in a prone position, so it seems that the remaining eight were instructed to wait.
The other Gigawolfs were also lying down in the same way, it was really easy to kill, really cheat, it took less than a minute to kill nine Gigawolfs.
"Basten, I'm going to put the Gigawolves in the shadow storage right now, so could you help me?"
[ An easy task, I'm at your call. ]
Even though the fur sells well, I don't have time to dismantle it now, so I decided to bring it as a whole.
Certainly the fur is super fluffy, and it feels really good.
If you stack as many as nine Gigawolfs in the shadow storage, you will be overwhelmed by the voluminous feeling.
It's a fluffy mountain, fluffy mountain.
[ Kent-sama, this sells high. ]
"Really? How much will it go for?"
[ A thing in such a good condition cannot normally be gotten, so it will cost several times as much as the magic stone of a rock ogre. ]
"Well ... can it sell so high?"
[ Magic stones also sell at a good price, so it may be about 100,000 Helts per animal. ]
"Hmm ... I don't really feel it ... Anyway, when I return to Volzard, I'll talk to Donovan-san."
[ Well, it's a Gigawolf in such a good condition, and it's better to leave the skinning to a professional craftsman. ]
"Yeah, I can't dismantle it in the first place, so I have to ask."
Now that Gigawolf has been cleaned up, let's leave for Volzard.
"Then everyone let's go."
"Wait, Kokubu, what happened with that big wolf?"
"Oh, I'll explain while walking."
Explaining that I defeated them with shadow movement and light attribute attack magic together, when I demonstrated the attack magic, everyone had a delicate expression.
"No, I have no complaints because we didn't get attacked by such a big monster ..."
"Kokubu is a little too cheat, isn't he?"
Everyone else nods to the words of Yagi and Kobayashi-san.
I think I'm too much of a cheat myself.
"Anyway, why can you use magic without chanting?"
"Why ... I just did it, I think it can't be helped."
"No, you can't do it, you can't do it ... normally, right?"
"Is that so? I haven't learned how to use magic from anyone."
"I can't do it, I've tried shortening chanting and non-chanting since I knew I could use magic, but I can't do it at all."
"Hmm ... I don't know why I can do it."
When I first used magic, I was unconscious, and after that, there was no one who could teach me the chanting itself, so I'm only doing what I imagine.
Shortening the activation time is done by solidifying the image clearly, I do not know how it can be done, and there is no way to explain it.
While walking to Volzard, Yagi and the dekoboko sisters struggled to activate the magic of the mage, and the old and new duo tried to activate the magic of physical strengthening without chanting, but in the end it could not be activated successfully.
Perhaps it was because I was first imbued with the image that magic is something that is cast and activated.
After all, it doesn't work, so they decided to follow Reinhardt's advice that it is better to make sure it activates even if you have to chant.
We've been walking for about two days since yesterday, and when the sun started to tilt west, we could finally see the walls of Volzard through the trees.
"I can see it, that's the wall of Volzard."
"Oh, that's amazing, it's completely connected, isn't it?"
"They're still building new walls towards the outside and expanding the city."
"What is it like inside?"
"Ah ... Yeah, it feels like a different world, because there are people with different hair colors, and there are also beastmen as expected."
"Beastmen? Seriously, is it a beautiful girl with animal ears?"
"Fufufu, that'll be fun to see ..."
"Wow!"
If you meet Muell-san, the cat-eared angel, the old and new duo and Yagi will be very excited.
"That's why men ..."
"Ah, animal ears aren't limited to girls, and there are also dog-eared boys."
"Seriously? Hey, are there any good looking boys or cute boys?"
"Fufufu, I think it's fun to see that too ..."
Kobayashi-san seems to be curious about boys with animal ears, so let's introduce her at the last minute.
I'd like to see what kind of face Gilik makes when pressed by a girl.

When we reached the edge of the Devil's Forest, we can see people moving in a hurry at the Volzard gate.
By the way, when I first came here, I pretended to be a caravan survivor and acted as if I had reached the end of my life.
This time, Reinhardt is here from the beginning, so they may be preparing to intercept the monsters.
"Can you escort me from the shadows, Reinhardt, Fred, Basten?"
[ I understand. ]
Reinhardt and the others sank into the shadows, so this time I will take the lead.
As I approached a distance of about 20 meters, I was called out to from the top of the gate.
"Okay, everyone stop there and remove your weapons."
"Everyone remove the sword and knife."
I had the five people remove their swords and knives together with their scabbards.
"Put your weapons at your feet and slowly move forwards."
"Everyone, let's go ..."
As I led the five people and walked, the sturdy door beside the big gate opened, and Kartz-san with a bitter expression appeared.
I've already bowed deeply with haste.
"I'm sorry, Kartz-san, I was lying."
"Huh ... Kent, Donovan-san already told me, just raise your head and go inside, then tell the story."
When I raised my head, Bart-san came out from behind Kartz-san, and with a wink, he ran to collect the swords and knives.
When I passed through the entrance and entered the wall, the garrison people were gathering.
Hmm ... I wonder if we're not welcomed, someone we're attracting everyone's appraising gazes.
"Kent, haven't you eaten dinner?"
"Yes, I gave priority to arriving at Volzard safely, so we were walking since just after lunch."
"Then, this way ... Hey, let me through ..."
Kartz-san had the garrison people go down, but there are people on both sides of me, which makes me uncomfortable.
The same thing happened with the other five, then Kobayashi-san hit me on the shoulder.
"Kokubu, did you properly explain?"
"Yeah, that should be the case, but I pretended to be a caravan survivor, and as a result, I was lying to the garrison people."
"Stupid, why did you do that?"
"Because I didn't think this was another country, I thought that if I said I was summoned, everyone would catch me in the same way."
"Oh, that's right ... it can't be helped ..."
Kartz-san took us to the garrison's cafeteria.
Get the tray and receive dinner from the counter.
The menu includes a tomato-based stew with large chunks of meat, fluffy bread, salad, and jibura as dessert.
"Wow ... I don't believe it, what's this big meat ..."
"Hey, the bread is fluffy, fluffy ..."
"What's this fruit? It's like a watermelon, but it smells like citrus."
"Hey, go fast, let's eat quickly."
At Lastock's garrison, they hadn't had a very good meal, so all five of them look like they're drooling.
"You are free to have refills, don't panic, just eat."
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
As soon as they got to the table, they bit into dinner as if they couldn't wait for all five of them.
"Muhhh, yeah!"
"Dangerous, how long has it been since we've eaten such a decent meal?"
"Ah ... I was really released from slavery ..."
"I learned about slavery liberation in social studies classes, but I didn't think I would be part of it."
"Wow ... I feel guilty about the other guys when it's so delicious ..."
While speaking inspiring words, the five people eat with great momentum.
"I'm sorry, they didn't seem to have had a good meal in Resenburg ..."
"Oh, I heard about that. you can eat Kent, so let me know a little."
"Yes, I'm going to talk about it this time, so please ask me anything.
"Well, first of all, are the three skeletons we saw before really summoned by Kent?"
"Yes, three of the eleven skeletons that I unknowingly summoned when I was carelessly walking alone in the Devil's Forest and was about to die after being attacked by goblins."
"Did you really unconsciously summon them?"
"Yes, I was just summoned to this world and didn't know how to cast it."
"Well ... it's an unusual story, but I can't help but believe that the skeletons actually escorted you out of the forest ..."
With that said, Kartz-san corrected his originally good posture and bowed deeply toward me.
"Hey ... Kartz-san ..."
"Thank you Kent, let me thank you again."
"That ... Please raise your head, I'm the one who should be thanking you."
"No, Kent may not be aware of it, but honestly, I was prepared to die when the rock ogres attacked the other day."
Five people stopped their meals and listened to Kartz-san's story.
"That number of rock ogres, even if we garrison and selected adventurers fought for their lives, it's doubtful that they were all defeated, and there definitely would have been a lot of casualties.
It seems that the garrison people greeted us with an appraising gaze because they heard rumors from somewhere that the skeleton summoner was me.
Kartz-san turned to the five people who stopped their meals and continued talking.
"I also heard about the situation you were in. It's really painful not to be able to help rescue because of the delicate relationship between Resenburg and Landshelt, but those who reach Volzard are doing their best. I promise to protect you."
"Thank you, Kartz-san."
"So, about their future, isn't it the same as with Kent?"
"Yes, make an ID card at the guild and ask them to find a job they can do."
"Well, if it's money for the time being ..."
"Oh, that's okay, because there's the rock ogres' magic stones ..."
"Well ... then Kent, you're a pretty wealthy man ..."
Kartz-san smiles mischievously.
"No, I'm not that wealthy considering the cost of staying for nearly 200 classmates to be rescued after this."
"Well, that's right ... you can't afford to feed 200 people."
"But I'm really relieved to be accepted by Volzard."
"Maybe Kalus-san and Donovan-san have said that human resources are valuable at Volzard. Of course, it is assumed that they will work properly, but I want as many human resources as possible."
"Is that the same for the garrison?"
"Well, when it's peaceful, it's not difficult because it's about maintaining the security of the city, but when a mass outbreak of monsters like before occurs, it's our role to fight on the front line, so there may be not a few vacancies."
"Are those vacancies in the line of duty ...?"
"Of course, there are, but if you lose your limbs, it's difficult to fight on the front line."
After leaving the garrison of Lastock, they were released from their slave bracelets, and crossed the Devil's Forest safely, and they were immersed in a sense of openness.
The place where the five people live should be the same place, so it seems that they will allocate a temporary dormitory to be used when a mass outbreak of monsters occurs on the site of the garrison station.
Although it was small, it was made into private rooms, and it was said that meals could be eaten in the dining room of the station.
Tomorrow morning, we decided to go to the guild together and then I parted from the five, and after reporting to Donovan-san, I decided to return to the borading house.
"Then, Kartz-san, I'm counting on you for these five people."
"Oh, leave it to me."
"Don't bother everyone, especially Yagi, I'll ask you seriously."
"Hey, you, trust me a little."
"No, I'm saying it because I can't trust you, but Kobayashi-san, please keep him in line."
"Okay, okay, leave it to me!"
"Hey, you guys ..."
I asked Kobayashi-san to monitor the fake glasses and walked towards the guild in the completely dark city of Volzard.
Somehow, even though I was away for only two days, I feel like I'm home because I've become accustomed to living in Volzard.
The guild at this time is crowded, though not as much as in the morning, when people who have been asked to collect are gathering to sell the herbs and materials they have collected.
Some of the people who sold the ingredients went straight to the bar and drank their entire pay.
"Isn't it Kent, it's rare to see you at this time."
"Oh, good evening, Muell-san ... and Gilik-san."
The one who called out was Muell-san, the cat-eared angel, and of course, the mutt was with her.
"What, it seems you don't like seeing me here ..."
"No, I didn't say that, even if I think about it."
"Bastard, aren't you doing fine ..."
"What is it, I'm just as usual ..."
"Jeez, you two shouldn't quarrel every time you meet each other, tsk!"
Hyah-I was scolded by Muell-san.
Yeah, this mutt is also useful in this regard.
Alright, let's introduce Kobayashi-san as a reward.
In return, I'll take Muell-san instead.
"So what did Kent come to do?"
"Yes, I came to report to Donovan-san for a moment, but is he busy at this time?"
"Tsk, someone who follows old man Donovan around like a little chick, you haven't even killed a goblin alone, don't get smart with me."
"Snort ... how about it ... I might actually be really strong ..."
"Haa? A bastard like you could just get rolled up like waste paper in reality ..."
"Snort ... You can try ..."
"You guys are really close ... do you want to go pracice now?"
When I was crossing swords with Gilik and making him minced meat again, Donovan-san's powerful voice came down from above my head.
"Geh, do, don't joke with me, I've been walking around all day gathering, how could I do training ... Myu-ane, I'm going home ..."
"Yes, yes, see you, Kent."
"OK, good night."
Ukyakyakya, the mutt rolled up his tail and ran away.
Of course, he wasn't afraid.
"So, did you bring them safely?"
"Yes, I've pushed them into the garrison's temporary dormitory."
"Well, then registration is tomorrow morning? I'll tell Otto."
"Thank you, and ... on our way ..."
Because it seemed to be bad if the surrounding people heard me, I whispered to Donovan-san about the Gigawolfs, and his expression changed completely.
"How many herds were there? In which direction did they run away?"
"Um ... There were nine in all, and I didn't let any escape."
"Did you annihilate them ... well, I'll hear more about it tomorrow when you register the guys you brought, you're tired, go back and rest."
"Yes, thank you."
I wasn't aware of it myself, but it seemed that I was under a lot of pressure, so I went back to the boarding house, greeted Amanda-san, and as soon as I lay down on the bed in my room, I fell asleep.
