“Krrrrrrrr…!”

“Karrrrrr…!”

“Wolves?”

The strange creatures Priscilla and Eugene Schneider discovered,

were desert wolves. A large number, roughly 30 or more, were watching the movements of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps from atop the cliff.

“They’re not just wolves. Look closely at their eyes.”

Eugene reacted to the unusual number of wolves.

Then Priscilla pointed to their eyes.

“They’re corrupted by magic.”

Because the eyes of the desert wolves were dyed red.

“Is it the influence of Drake, Priscilla?”

“To be precise, you should see it as being affected by an environment where Drake might appear. If animals are being corrupted, it means the persistence is no joke.”

What Priscilla confirmed with the hologram magic stone was only the possibility of Drake’s existence,

but with that alone, it was difficult to estimate the situation of the Enclama Cliff sufficiently.

Then, the moment they entered the beginning of Enclema Cliff, they felt more magic than expected,

and as a result, a pack of wolves corrupted by magic appeared.

“Those bastards will rush at us. Beasts corrupted by magic have no fear.”

“Okay. I’ll let the captain and advisor know right away. Priscilla, please keep watching them.”

Priscilla predicted that a battle would take place due to the unusual appearance of the magic-corrupted wolves.

“Slow down the advance speed. And archers, watch the wolves, and shieldmen, raise your guard. And Thomas, increase the level of caution in preparation for other guys being added.”

Jeanne, having heard the situation from Eugene Schneider, immediately ordered preparations.

“Here they come!”

At that moment, Priscilla, who had been watching the desert wolves, sent a signal.

“—Kuaaaaaaa!” “—Kuang!” “—Krrrrrrrr!” “—Kuaaaaaaaang!”

—Dududududududu!—Dudududududu!!

About 30 desert wolves began to descend quickly from the steep cliff.

“Wow! How are they so agile!”

“The accepted theory is that the physical abilities of beasts infested with magic increase slightly!”

Chwaang! Chwang! Chwaaaang!

The members of the Red Fox Mercenary Corps immediately drew their weapons.

Peter, the medic, was flustered by the unexpected advancement ability of the wolf pack,

then the woman next to him emitted determined eyes and explained the situation.

—Phewuuuuung!—Phewuuuuung!

At that moment, an emerald flash flew,

Priscilla’s World Tree Bow spat fire.

—Puuuuk!—Puaaaaaak!

Priscilla’s emerald arrow flew quickly and hit the head of the desert wolf that was rushing in cleanly.

“Everyone be careful, you never know what aftereffects will occur if you are bitten by those corrupted by magic! If you are bitten in the arms or legs, you may have to amputate!”

Priscilla, who had shown such a charismatic appearance, was giving a lot of fear.

“Then we should reduce the variables as much as possible!”

—Paaaaaaat!

Having heard those words, Eugene Schneider immediately picked up his greatsword and charged towards the desert wolves.

It means that he, whose armor is the strongest, will attract aggro,

Moreover, Eugene has demon blood mixed in, so there is a high possibility that there will be no aftereffects.

—Puaaaaak!—Pueoooook!—Pueoooook!

Soon, Eugene Schneider’s huge greatsword was swung,

With that one blow, even desert wolves that were much larger than ordinary wolves were cut in half.

“Wow! Sword Expert Eugene Schneider, charge captain!”

“He’s so reliable!”

Shieldmen were setting up barricades in the back,

and archers were firing arrows at the desert wolves in front of Eugene.

However, that was just for check, and Eugene was actually destroying all the desert wolves.

Still, the Red Fox mercenary corps couldn’t help but admire the fact that they thought one or two would get past Eugene, but not a single one created such a situation.

“Whoa! They are really big, those desert wolf bastards.”

In about 10 minutes, not only the first 20, but also the six subsequent ones were all slaughtered.

Eugene clicked his tongue at the sight of the desert wolves’ corpses filling the desert land.

More than 30 is a large number, but the feeling was even greater.

He could clearly see the reason when he looked closely. Desert wolves had a larger physique than ordinary wolves.

“Can we use these guys as food? I vaguely heard that desert wolf tastes very good.”

“It will be possible. The magic that permeates the beast disappears within two days if the beast dies.”

“Oh, I see, Priscilla.”

As he confirmed the amazing size, what came to Eugene’s mind was the use of food.

Because the supply of food is tough in the backwoods.

Of course, he was sure that the Imperial Knights would bring a sufficient amount, but there seemed to be no reason to refuse if he could save even more.

In particular, there is almost no humidity here, so it is optimized for jerky drying processing.

“Okay. Let’s set up camp here. The supply team and kitchen team should carry out the work of processing the desert fox that they brought appropriately.”

The Red Fox Mercenary Corps, which had a welcoming ceremony at Enclema Cliff, arrived at the Drake Special Quest Party base camp area.

It is a fairly large site, and the Imperial Knights camp and the Red Fox Mercenary Corps camp are installed separately.

Thomas, the administrative officer, got off his horse and began to instruct the installation of the base camp.

“Priscilla! Let’s go install the totem!”

While the base camp was being set up, Eugene called Priscilla.

Totem,

a monster detection totem created by Elizabeth, the magician of the Drake Special Quest Team.

The monster detection totem arrived about a week after the Red Fox delegation returned from the Imperial Knights Arena.

‘We have to be together often. That way, our teamwork will be good. I think what happened earlier was the result of our efforts so far.’

Of course, it’s something Eugene Schneider can do alone.

Even so, the reason why he specifically called Priscilla,

is to strengthen the bond and breathing as she is his partner at this point.

He knows that she hates participating in trivial matters,

but Eugene is forcibly dragging her around.

“Totem? Okay. I’ll go with you.”

Then, contrary to expectations, Priscilla accepted Eugene’s suggestion very coolly and readily.

‘Huh? She’s accepting so easily?’

Of course, Eugene and Priscilla have become so close recently that Marie is jealous.

So, when Eugene asks, Priscilla tends to listen.

However, the process of getting there was not easy.

It was possible after making various arguments and coaxing her, but Eugene was quite surprised by the situation where it was achieved in one go.

“It seems like it would be good to install the first totem here, Priscilla. The altitude is high and the direction is right.”

Ssuuuuuuk!

“That’s right.”

There are five totems.

It is a structure that must be installed separately in appropriate places.

Eugene, who found a suitable place to install the first totem, took out the totem magic stone.

“Huh? What are you doing, Priscilla?”

Eugene manipulated the secret puzzle in the center of the magic stone as he had learned in order to activate the magic stone.

In the meantime, he reacted when he witnessed Priscilla doing something strange.

“What are you doing, you’re digging the ground. The totem will dig into the ground, what if there are rocks or something?”

Priscilla was squatting in a pit toilet posture and digging hard.

She really is digging, using a trowel she got from somewhere.

The most noticeable thing in the meantime,

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

was none other than Priscilla’s butt, which was constantly shaking.

‘Hmm… Priscilla, this is the first time I’ve seen you like this? Priscilla is always sitting on some railing, crossing her legs in a haughty manner.’

Of course, it was a noticeable posture, but it was also a common sight.

It just stands out because the other person is Priscilla.

For a presumptuous elf, she’s wagging her butt in a charming way.

Peek…!

At that moment, Priscilla turned her head slightly towards Eugene behind her.

“Where are you looking?”

Then, she reacted as if she had been waiting for Eugene to look down on her.

“Hmm… I’m just amazed by Priscilla’s appearance digging the ground. I’ve only ever seen her sitting somewhere with her legs crossed.”

Eugene made an excuse appropriately.

Of course, it’s not a complete lie.

Before I was hooked on Priscilla’s wiggling butt, that was really the reason I was looking at it.

“You didn’t look at my butt?”

Then, Priscilla rather mentioned her butt.

“Ah, you’re right, I looked at your butt. Because Priscilla’s butt is the most prominent thing in her current appearance.”

Eugene was a little flustered.

This is because Priscilla’s reaction was completely unexpected.

If it were Priscilla normally, she would have gone one step further.

For example, “You pervert, where are you looking?”

If that were the case, Eugene Schneider would have countered by saying, “Do you think I would look if there was something to see?”

Since she was speaking in a rather demure manner, Eugene became incoherent.

“R-Really? Hmm…”

At Eugene’s answer, Priscilla muttered something in a somewhat timid manner and turned her gaze back to where she was digging.

Ssuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!

“Oh! I was right. So, the totem was something that dug into the ground?”

“Idiot, you came to install it without even knowing that. What would have happened if I hadn’t come with you?”

When the mana totem magic stone was activated, the magic stone emitted light and began to transform into a totem.

Thanks to Priscilla clearing the ground, it quickly took its place well.

Eugene realized that Priscilla hadn’t done it for nothing and was amazed,

and Priscilla was exaggerating to the fullest.

“The totem looks weird. Priscilla seems to know a lot about totems. Is it always like this?”

Eugene looked at the completed monster scan totem, looking amazed. It was about 180cm tall.

And more than anything.

“A naked woman is too erotic.”

It was in the shape of a naked woman with a voluptuous body.

“Defensive totems are made in the shape of a voluptuous woman’s nude, while offensive totems are modeled after the appearance of monsters. Appearance largely determines the direction of mana operation.”

“Oh! I see!”

As an elf skilled in artifacts and totems, Priscilla effortlessly answered Eugene’s questions.

“Then Priscilla, let’s go install it somewhere else!”

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!

After confirming that the mana light had entered the first totem, they moved to install the remaining totems.

“…..”

But Priscilla kept looking at the first totem without saying a word.

“Priscilla? What are you doing! Let’s install it quickly and go eat dinner!”

Eugene, who turned back when he didn’t feel Priscilla following, said a word after confirming Priscilla’s appearance.

“Hey, Eugene.”

Then, Priscilla, who was looking at the first totem with a mysterious expression, opened her mouth.

“Yes, Priscilla. Do you have something to say?”

Eugene stopped in his place and turned his body towards Priscilla.

Priscilla asked Eugene Schneider,

“What do you think about women with small breasts?”

She asked a truly cheeky question.
