After the challenge, we had lunch with the money I got.
Then we took a walk around the city.
"Master."
"Look."
A statue of the ancient demon king and hero was placed in the center of the city.
He is the demon king Kuol and the hero Deorika.
The two are famous for having fought the fiercest battles in the last 500 years.
The battle lasted three days and three nights, and Deorika barely won.
This battle, which caused great damage to both demons and humans, became a legend to both races.
At the foot of this giant monument, Kaede waves her hand.
Frau was sitting on Deorika's head and Panda was circling around her.
Hey, you're disrespectful.
Get off of her head right now.
"You look like a very strong demon king."
"He's so different from that evil bitch. He has dignity."
"It's a matter of favoritism."
The demon king, Kuol, is an austere and stoic man.
Deorika, on the other hand, is young and has a fearless face.
It appears to have been made by a very skilled craftsman. There is no sense of dynamism.
Suddenly, I realize that there is a mother and daughter next to me.
"Mom, why did Kuol lose?"
"He took the hero's wife hostage. Victory was almost in his hands, but at the last moment the hero awakened a new ability that defeated the demon king."
"The hero was a cheater."
"That's true. Don't grow up to be someone like that."
The girl cheerfully replies "Okay!"
It sounds like you are getting a pretty dreadful education.
The demon king was a complete coward, no matter how you think about it.
"Master!"
I turned around after Kaede's call.
There was a beautiful short-haired young man riding a horse.
In addition, it has a noble atmosphere like an aristocrat.
"You look like someone strong. Are you an adventurer?"
"Yes, we are a party, we are called "Manyu Brigade."
…………...
Seconds later I realized I had said the name of the party.
What an asshole I am!
No matter how hard I have tried to disguise myself and hide my identity, if I go around saying my party's name like a fool I will be exposed.
But the young man seemed unfazed, smiled, and got off his horse.
"Manyu Brigade, huh. I saw you challenge the sword cat. If you don't mind, I'd like to have a chat with you at my residence."
"A chat?"
"To put it bluntly, it's a request. I'm in a bind."
It is very suspicious.
This individual is probably a nobleman of the demon race.
I can't say anything suspicious.
I turned to look at Kaede.
She nods, "I will leave this decision to you, Master."
The same applied to Frau.
"By the way, what's the reward?"
"If you succeed, I will give you 3 million."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Then follow me."
The young man got on his horse and led us to a mansion not far from where we were.
The demon mansion did not appear to be much different from that of a human.
I took a sip of the tea he gave me.
Hmm, it's delicious.
"I don't suppose you've heard much about the water fountain?"
"No. Do tell."
"The city uses the river coming down from the mountains for its water supply, but recently the source of the river has been blocked by a monster. Thanks to that, the river has started to dry up and we are in a critical situation."
If it is a monster blocking the water source, it is probably quite large and heavy.
Water is indispensable for life.
I grew up in a village, so I can understand it well.
So I cannot refuse this request.
"And what kind of monster is it?"
"A poisonous slime. It 's size leads me to believe it's a King Slime."
"Ugh."
I couldn't help but let my expression of disgust slip.
King-sized slime are on the list of monsters an adventurer should not face.
Normally, slimes are small, but once they exceed a certain size, they become extremely problematic.
The largest size is King.
Physical attacks are naturally ineffective, magical attacks are ineffective against such overwhelming mass, and it has a voracious appetite, trapping any living thing that approaches it and dissolving it with its powerful digestive juices.
And this time, it's the most problematic type, a poisonous slime.
It is logical that it is difficult for him to solve this problem.
"Will you do it?"
"Hmm. Well, all right. I'll do it."
I was a little worried, but I thought Kaede's magic could defeat him.
The most important thing is that I want that 3 million.
I have heard that the dark kingdom is quite large.
I should get as much money as possible for my trip.
"Forgive me for not having introduced myself properly. I am the Marquis de Pione, I rule this land."
"I'm Toru, and this is Kaede and Frau."
"Toru, it's a pleasure to meet you."
We shook hands after introducing ourselves.
We enter the mountain and aim at the place where the monster is.
