Magan to Dangan o Tsukatte Isekai o Buchinuku!

After returning to the road and continuing onward, they arrived at the village, the destination of the request, and talked to the villagers they saw, and soon found the client.

“Welcome, you must be the adventurers who accepted our request.”

The client, smiling cheerfully, was the village chief.
He is a man with a gentle personality.

“Yeah, that’ s right, but what is with this whole situation?”

They were surrounded by many villagers in front of the village chief’s house where they were guided to.
It seemed that the first villager they spoke to had passed the word to the other villagers, and they stopped what they were doing to see what kind of people had come.

“I’m sorry, but that is just how much we are in trouble.”

apologized the village chief for the current situation while bowing his thinning head with a wry smile to Ataru, who had asked with a puzzled look.

“Oh, I understand.
Anyway, can you explain the request?

After understanding the general situation, Ataru wanted to get on with the request and urged the village chief to talk.

“This isn’t the best place, so let’s talk about it inside.”

Ataru shook his head at the village chief’s invitation to entertain them, who had come all this way.

“No, it’s fine here.
It looks like the sooner the better, so I’d like to hear it here and get things moving toward a solution as soon as possible.”

The expressions on the faces of the villagers who had gathered were exhausted, gloomy, and sad.
They didn’t just accept the attack, but they tried to do what they could do.

“So, there’s a lot of them.”

The village head nodded vaguely in response to Ataru’s question, who had expected the situation after hearing the story.

“There’ s also …… one large species mixed in with the pack of wolves, and the village’s best men are also …… being killed by this monster.”

Not only the village chief, who went silent, but also the women around him had a somber look on their faces.
Some of the villagers were surprised by the village chief’s words, probably hearing them for the first time, and some of them looked grim knowing the truth.
(PR: difference between those close to the men that where already killed and those that that were not)

“You mean there’s a boss-class monster.
…… Caro, we’re going to take it down.
Just tell me where it is.”

Caro nodded vigorously at Ataru’s words as he patted her on the shoulder.

“Oh, you’re going to take it down?”

The village chief was surprised and asked Ataru, who answers easily.

“Hmm? Isn’t that what you’re asking for? I came here after accepting a request from the Adventurer’s Guild.
Your request is to defeat the wolf and the boss wolf.
If that’s the case, we’ll carry out that request.”

Should that not be taken for granted when you come to fulfill a request? Ataru thought and tilted his head.

“No, no, I mean, the request is just to take down the wolves.
…… I mean, we’re not talking about the boss wolf.
……”

The village chief and some others in the village pretended they didn’t know about the boss wolf and were trying to avoid the additional fee for the request.

If a monster is that powerful, the rank of the request goes up, and naturally the request fee goes up along with it.
However, it was difficult to do so with the resources of the village.
Despite the circumstances, he was not deterred by the false report.

“It’s okay.
Just pretend that you didn’t know about the boss wolf.
I just want to test my strength, so it’s a good thing he’s there.
…… So, where is it?”

Ataru waved his hand and said again, “Don’t worry about it.” Then, as if in a panic, a man came over with a map.

“Here, it’s the marked location.
This is where they are now.
……”

It was a simple map, but since the village was not very large, we were able to figure out where it was right away.

“All right, we’ll be going.
It would be great if you could contact the guild if we don’t come back by nightfall.
Bye.”

After staring at the map for a while, Ataru folded it and raised his right hand to bid farewell to the villagers.
Then, accompanied by Caro, he headed straight for the place indicated on the map.
It happened so fast that the villagers could only stand there and send them off in a daze.

“Um, Ataru-sama.
Are you sure?”

Caro asked worriedly as they walk to their destination.

If it is true, it was a dangerous request that exceeded the rank, and the reward should have been increased.

“Yeah, because if they reported the truth, it’d be something my adventurer rank wouldn’t allow me to take.
It’ll be a good test of my skills.”

Ataru chuckled, seeing it as a rather good opportunity.
His aggressive expression made Caro even more determined to keep her focus on the task at hand.

“Okay, we’re stopping here.”

Ataru stops at a considerable distance to the marked location.
There were no signs of people around at all, there were only rocks and high growing grass as well as something that looked like a cave could be seen in the distance.

“First, let’s find out what the situation is.”

He looked through his scope at the spot where he could see where the Wolves were living.
He could have seen it with only his eyes, but he thought it would be better to be more precise.

“For now, there are ten Wolves.
And …… that’s the boss wolf.
…… His fur is a dark red.”

“Dark red!?”

Caro screams surprised when she hears Ataru’s description of what he saw.
Ataru looks at Caro, who seems to have some idea what’s going on.

“If I remember correctly, it’s most likely a monster called a Death Wolf.
It is dozens of times more powerful than a normal wolf, and it moves very quickly.
Normally, this would be an A-rank or higher request.
……”

Caro talked impatiently as she pulled out the information she remembered and seemed a little hesitant at the end.
She had been told that it was a boss wolf, but she did not expect to be dealing with a monster of a much higher rank.

“Well, that’s convenient.
It’s a good opportunity to test my strength.
The problem is …….”

Based on the enemy’s information, Ataru replied to Caro, thinking about how to fight the enemy.
Caro was relieved by the fact that he did not seem to be impatience to heard Caro’s information.

“It depends on how well we can move, and how they are will react.”

The goblins had been easily defeated by Ataru, and he hadn’t had a chance to fight after that until he got here, so Ataru hadn’t been able to confirm Caro’s power beyond what he had seen.

But Caro smiled at him as if to say that she was fine.

“I can’t go as far as defeating the Death Wolf by myself, but I think I can fight the other wolves.”

It was a confident statement.
As she grasped the dagger, she was no longer just the usual young girl.

“Okay, ……, I’ll take out some of the Wolves with a surprise attack.
At that time, Caro can take out the remaining ones.
Of course, I’ll make sure the Death Wolves doesn’t get near you, so don’t worry.”

Caro trusted Ataru’s words and nodded without hesitation.
She was thinking about how she could make her move without interfering with Ataru’s attack.

“So, if he’s moving fast, there’s a chance my bullets won’t be enough to take him down easily.
So ……”

“Once the wolves are defeated, I just need to get the Death Wolf’s attention, right? Understood.”

Caro anticipates Ataru’s words.
She had made up her mind not to say she could do something she couldn’t, but without hesitation she gave a strong reply.

Ataru, who felt her motivation in her words, smiled and then changed his expression.

“Okay, then I’ll tell you the plan.”
