We've come to a wooded area some distance from the camp.
　They're after the wild boar, the pig monster.


　But they won't come all the way down here.

　That's where detection magic comes in.


　The detection spell lets you see what's going on around you.
　It's crucial to dilute the magic's concentration and release it into the surrounding environment.


　This is what we did when we obtained the Demonizing spell.
　The more magic you release, the greater the area you can see.


　But we don't know everything.
　It's magic that responds to magic, and this detection spell only detects the magic the monster has.


　It dilutes the magic and releases it.


　...... The range I can detect is about 150 meters around.


　Unfortunately, there are no demons within this range.


　I used my detection spell and ran through the forest and soon found the wild boar.


　Let's finish him off and head back.


　We'll hide in the bushes and keep out of sight.
　When he was just in time, he jumped out of the bushes and killed the wild boar with a single blow.


　You can dismantle it and obtain the wild boar's flesh and materials (claws and skin) to trade for it.
　I put them in the Item Box.


The Item Box is really too useful.


　There's nothing more useful to being an adventurer.
　Even Ral, the merchant, was quite envious.


I have to get back.


　I'm wondering how Kurt and Ral are doing .
　I hope Kyu is doing something about it: .......





　◇





　Back at the encampment, the air was better than I expected.




Kyu is cute.


　Lal was playing with Kyu.
　Kurt seemed to be a little farther away, keeping an eye on his surroundings.


"I'm home. I got some food.

"Aruji!


　When I come back, Kyu flies over my head.
　He lands on his feet and curls up.


Kyu, how did it go?

"Ral's got it covered!

Good for you.

"Yes.


　By the looks of it, Kyu might have contributed quite a bit to the atmosphere of the place.


'Welcome back. You're back pretty quickly.

　Kurt said.

"Well, I used my locator spell and found my quarry pretty quick. That could have gone pretty fast.

"Detection magic: ...... It's just as expected of you that I became your apprentice. You obviously have more magic in your arsenal than I do, given your [Sage] talent.

That's not really true, is it?　You can't be better than Kurt, who was given the [Wise Man] talent at this stage.

　That's how big the talent barrier is.


If you're in the wise man class, you should have considerable ability without training.
　In addition, their growth rate is also monster-grade.

　And of course Anna.
　...... Wonder how she's doing.


It's interesting to see who's stronger, me or Revell.
　Maybe we should meet up sometime.

Yeah. I'll see if I can arrange it when we get to the Fleaparra.

　...... isn't the time to be thinking about Anna.

　Now is the time to work to get Ral and Kurt on the same page.
