With the autumn harvest just around the corner, my hands are free so I built a new tea house in the courtyard.

This time, Ann notified the chickens in advance so they wouldn’t take over the tea house.

Thank goodness.

I lounged on the tatami mats in the tea house.

Yeah, satisfying.

Ah, it’s not just the tatami.

This time, I’m also enjoying the scenery.

I opened the shoji and looked at the courtyard.

There, I can see a landscape garden with white sand, and rocks as if it is a miniature sea….

There was a flock of chickens there.

…..

The eye of the leader chicken is like saying:

As Ann requested, we will not enter that structure.

However, it will be fine for us to flock here.

….

I see.

Is that what you think?

The leader chicken and I stare at each other.

The first one to look away loses.

Just as I was thinking that, Anne came and chased the chickens away. No questions asked.

「I’ll discipline them again later.」

Don’t be too hard on them.

I feel eerie if the chickens are so obedient.

The next day.

I’m crushing oyster shells until they are powdered in the courtyard.

I plan to mix them with the chicken feed.

I heard that this makes the egg they produce stronger.

Oysters are often eaten by seakins and I ordered some. They are readily available so we had them for dinner yesterday.

The oysters were large and delicious.

The shells that I’m crushing now are from that time.

The chickens want me to give them meat instead of shells but why should I care?

I don’t care about their likes since they chicken had already devoured a whole box of oysters last night.

We were having a barbecue on the patio to celebrate the harvest so I let my guard down.

I’m a little impressed with their attitude today. Even though they were severely scolded yesterday because….Ann’s favorite food is oyster.

No, I guess it’s because they are birds.

Incidentally, Aegis only eats meat too and not the shells.

Yesterday, he was even roasting his own oysters.

Seeing how he squeeze lemon was amazing.

Hnn?

What’s up, Aegis?

….you want to eat more oysters?

It can’t be helped.

I’ll order some more.

When I said that, not only Aegis but the chickens were pleased too.

What’s this….

Okay, I’ll order some for the chickens too.

I spent my day like that and night came.

While I was relaxing after taking a bath, I received an emergency letter from Village Five.

It was addressed to Youko but she was taking a bath with her daughter, Hitoe, so I read it for her.

It came from Bron and he was asking for help.

Count Pugyaru is missing in Shashaato City?

Count Pugyaru is Gol’s wife’s father, right?

No, that’s not all.

One of the civil servant girls is also his daughter.

This can’t be left unattended.

Let’s go help in finding him.

That’s what I decided but when I was about to make my move, I was stopped by a civil servant girl.

She’s Count Pugyaru’s daughter.

「You don’t need to worry about my father. He will survive given any situation.」

I guess she said those because of her trust in him.

However, doesn’t that mean that we shouldn’t look for him?

I explained to her that I already knew the situation so I had to go.

It was night but when I recruited comrades, the high elves and lizardmen agreed to join.

Numbers are everything in terms of search.

He’ll be saved.

Hnn?

Doraim and Dors too?

「I have to show my grandchildren and great-grandchildren my good points.」

「It’s a good opportunity to spread the taste of radish.」

No, what are you planning to do?

We’re going to leave because we’re going to find a missing person.

「It’s okay it’s okay. If we come with you, things will be less troublesome.」

Is that so?

Then, I ask for your help.

Loo, Tier, and Ann will help too but it will take some time for them to prepare.

That can’t be helped because women need to be prepared when they go out.

Let’s go there first.

Ah, can I leave it to you to inform Youko and gather information on the teleportation gate?

Yes, please.

When I left my mansion, the kuros and the spiderlings were already waiting for me.

However….

I can take you to Village Five but I can’t take you to Shashaato City.

If I do that, the demon king and Beezel would be in trouble.

….No, wait.

When it comes to searching for someone missing, the kuros are necessary.

They have good noses.

Also, when it comes to searching the streets of Shashaato City, the power of the spiderlings can be relied on.

Yeah, absolutely.

They are helpers.

I don’t want to be too late because of hesitation.

……..

I’ll apologize to the demon king and Beezel later.

I’m going to take the kuros and the spiderlings with me but I’ll do my best for them to not be seen by the residents.

We arrived in Village Five with no problem.

It was out of my expectation when Futa, who was in charge of the teleportation gate, asked me “Where are you going to attack?”.

As we approached the teleportation gate to Shashaato City at the foot of Village Five, Gucci joined us.

Gucci’s first question was “Where are you going to attack?”. I wondered if he discussed that joke with Futa.

Maybe they are making me feel better because I was looking more serious than usual.

When I heard that someone was missing, I couldn’t help but imagine something bad like a kidnapping or an accident.

I only think of bad things.

Let’s try to be calmer.

It’s possible that he just went shopping nearby.

Yeah.

Gucci also said that he would help us and joined us.

We encountered a problem at the teleportation gate at the foot of Village five and the teleportation gate in Shashaato City.

The kuros and the spiderlings were able to hide behind roofs and shadows in the city but they couldn’t hide when they had to go through the teleportation gate.

Therefore, those guarding the teleportation gates and the users who saw the kuros and the spiderlings passed out.

They’re not that scary.

I wish they wouldn’t faint instantly.

They’ll definitely get angry later.

It was a good thing that almost everyone fainted so there’s no commotion but it can still be considered a failure so I had some of the high elves and lizardmen take care of the fainted ones.

There’s no time to reflect.

We have to find Count Pugyaru.

Hnn?

The kuros and the spiderlings asked to act independently.

I don’t mind, but do you know how Count Pugyaru looks or smells?

You saw him in the movie before?

Yeah, he was in that movie.

As for smell, you’re going to look for unusual or suspicious smells.

Can you identify malicious smells?

I see.

Alright, then.

I’ll leave it for you to decide on your own in case of emergency.

I will allow you to attack.

The kuros and spiderlings won’t run amok for no reason.

I have that much trust in them.

However, if you find the situation dangerous, don’t hesitate to run away.

If there’s a chance that you’ll get injured, don’t push yourself too hard.

I’m worried that you’ll push yourselves too hard and get injured.

It’s important to find Count Pugyaru but it’s also important not to get hurt.

The kuros and spiderlings nodded and started to move.

Hmm, they’re fast.

They seemed to disappear into the darkness of the night.

Ah, I have to move too.

Let’s go to….let’s meet up with Bron first.

Let’s hear the latest news from him.

I’ll be disappointed if they have already found Count Pugyaru but that would be for the best.

I hope he’s okay.

Dors, Doraim, Gucci, the high elves, and the lizardmen will be with us until then.

Q: Does Futa still manage the teleportation gate at night?

A: She has free shift. So sometimes she’s there, sometimes she’s not.

When she’s not around, gate users can just write their own names in the notebook she keeps there.

(There’s no need to worry about security even if she’s not there because the arachne Arako is on Big Tree Dungeon….On Village Five side, there are silver coins and other things on sight.)

By the way, Futa is helping the civil servants of Village Five while managing the teleportation gate. Therefore, only those who know the existence of the teleportation gate can ask Futa’s help.
