The moonlight was bright.

I would say it’s too bright. The tall trees blocked the moonlight, so bright areas were clearly visible, while dark areas were dark. There was a time when I wondered why I was attacked.

I think I understand now.

There are so many countless shades. Moreover, the night sky is bright, which even hinders the extreme expression of dark adaptation.

If I were to walk around paying attention to all of this, it was obvious that I wouldn’t be able to go even 200m before it was already light. Realistically, you have no choice but to be attacked.

The surroundings were quiet.

When it came out, I wasn’t sure if it was a good thing, but when it actually came out, it seemed like it came out well. How much alone time will this be?

Even when practicing archery in the village, someone was awake. Even when I was shooting arrows outside at night, one of the hosots was watching me as a sentry at the entrance.

The trees around Puri Village are tall, making it difficult to see the moonlight properly.

I really just came out to get some air, and since I didn’t know the way, I walked straight up toward the northern ridge.

The cold night breeze cools your body.

Because of the power of the nameless Earth Mother God, the mushroom-parasitic tree is exalted. The central part of Five Roots Village had no tall trees.

That means this place is safe.

As I walked up, I came across an open hill. After sitting there for a moment───.

Deep.

“────────!!!”

This squishy yet cool sensation. A long time.

The feeling of being crushed into dog poop is something that every dog lover fears.

“Shieeee haircut────?!”

An exclamation of exclamation came out.

I should just lie down and sleep! It must have been freshly wrapped and there were no bugs. Also, looking at the thickness, it looks like elf or hosot poop. What kind of bastard pooped this early in the morning?!!

I rubbed my boots on the floor and wiped away the poop.

Let’s pull ourselves together. Because poop is also a part of nature── If it’s a part of nature, what’s the point? Nature itself is disgusting! I just can’t get my mind together. I should go in and sleep.

When I tried to go back, I couldn’t easily separate my feet.

If you go in like this, isn’t it like pooping on the floor of someone else’s house? It’s unfair to be falsely accused of destroying a wall, but it’s unacceptable to be filmed again for taking pictures of poop.

For hosots and ramrats, especially those with a sensitive sense of smell, it is like someone putting shit on the wall. I had no choice but to break a tree branch and scrape out the stool.

This is why I hate nature!

Nature is a place where when you pull down your pants to poop, before you can poop, a poop fly will sweep your naked buttocks with its wings, begging you to poop quickly.

Caterpillars that ate leaves have fallen from trees, and flying insects have entered mouths and clothes. Once again, sadness came over me. So I covered my mouth and let out a scream.

‘I want to go home────!!!!’

“What do you mean by that?”

My body was shaking.

Behind, Claudia was walking here with Vas.

“Oh, no. I’m talking to myself.”

Vas, who appeared behind Claudia, tilted his head and frowned when he saw me.

“Why are you a slave here without an owner?”

“I want to get some air.”

I don’t feel like talking back.

Bas shakes his head at my half-hearted answer.

“You were born a slave with floral sensibility, why don’t you recite poetry?”

“Nature is like people; it may look beautiful from afar, but it is ugly when seen up close.”

“···What are you talking about?”

Have you tried stepping on poop?

“It is said that children cannot understand.”

Claudia nodded.

Since Lamia suffers from mosquitoes, I agree to some extent. Bass tilts his ears and flutters his ears. He turned his head and looked toward the village, then looked at me.

“Hey, flower slave. Here comes your master.”

what?

When I looked in the direction where Vas was looking, I saw Jules coming towards him. When he spotted me from afar, his slightly fast steps slowed down.

“Where are you wandering around at night?!”

He looked angry.

“I came out to get some air for a moment.”

“Let’s go in.”

I dodged the hand Jules held out to me.

“Wait a minute. I stepped on poop.”

Jules frowned and tilted his head.

“What are you talking about? There is no smell whatsoever.”

“Yes? Look at this.”

He lifted his shoe and showed the feces on it.

Jules sniffed, then tilted his head.

“···What is this? It doesn’t smell?”

Can’t you smell it?

“Why doesn’t it smell?”

“I’ve never seen anything smell this bad. There is no smell.”

“Have you tried it?”

Juul showed his fangs on the farmland streets of Bath.

Bass pulled back as if sensing something unusual, but Juul caught him at the speed of light.

“Bath. Open your mouth.”

“You crazy bitch?! Can’t you tell the difference between a joke and a serious thing───?!”

······I’m serious?

Jules chuckles, scoops up the poop on the floor with a twig and holds it to Bas’s face.

“Aaaagh───! Crazy bitch catches people───?!!”

Claudia, who needs to be stopped, is laughing heartily.

But in reality, I have goosebumps, and I have skin on my arms.

“···Rat rate? calm down. Anyway, there’s no need to feed him poop, right?”

“Of course it’s a joke.”

Jules smeared the feces on Vas’ wrist.

“This is the master of pranks.”

Bath’s fur stood on end like a startled cat.

“This kind of pig-like bitch is really──!”

“──Are you crazy?”

It’s mischievous. If it’s Juul, wouldn’t bullying alone be enough to make someone commit suicide? possible. This person is born with it.

“I have never seen excrement without odor in my life. That can’t happen and won’t happen in the future? It must be compacted soil.”

To begin with, this is a place where the soil cannot come together───.

“······!”

That’s what I said.

Being in a place that shouldn’t be. No, how can the soil not smell in the first place? Soil also has its own distinct smell. For example, the smell of bacterial secretions such as geosmin. This is one of the reasons why humans cannot drink muddy water.

The reason humans are odorless is because the human sense of smell is not that great, but it does not mean that they are truly odorless. And what on earth is this awkward position?

Stones that stick out tend to wear out. This means that this type of soil cannot come out naturally.

“Jul, is there any soil that doesn’t smell?”

“···Nothing.”

“Then what is this?”

Jules looks directly at me.

“Okay.”

“Then why not try it?”

Vas, who received Jules’ gaze, became thoughtful and closed his mouth.

“Wouldn’t looters walk around wearing this? It’s a smell that even Hosott can’t smell. The viscosity is also perfect.”

Jules squinted.

“No matter what, isn’t that going too far?”

“It’s similar to the eyewitness account of a human riding a horse in Lunch. They said they were putting dirt on their bodies. Doesn’t it look similar at first glance? If there is no smell, it is no different from dirt when seen from a distance.”

Jules’ expression became serious.

“···Where did you find it?”

“Over there.”

“Let’s go.”

Claudia asked in a drowsy voice.

“Should we go too? I have to check the next village soon…”

“No, it’s okay. We’ll take care of it.”

“Then I’ll go.”

“See you tomorrow.”

After nodding goodbye to Bath and Claudia, I left them behind and headed to the place where I stepped on the poop. Since I had been to this place once, I was able to find it surprisingly quickly.

Now that I look at it, the location is also suspicious.

It is not hidden by the grass, but is left on top of the grass. I guess you could say it was ‘thrown’ from the top down.

It means that someone intentionally left it behind.

“Let’s take it.”

“What is this, where and how do I find out?”

“There is a tester inside.”

Because the exterior was really dirty—no, it wasn’t feces.

I had no choice but to hold it tightly. Ugh───! Visuals really?!

“Let’s go.”

Jules took the lead and started walking.

*

“···I can’t tell the difference.”

Ramrat, who was sniffing, shook his head.

Then I glanced up at Juul.

“Is it okay if I try it?”

···That? No, not eating──.

“It’s okay.”

When Juul agreed, Ramrat took the monster substance and put it in his mouth as if he had been waiting for him. ······Is it okay to eat an unknown substance like that?

“Ugh!”

Ramrat, who had used up all his 50,000 prizes, opened his mouth.

“It’s human poop.”

“──────?!”

I put my hand in the water provided for washing.

Water, I need more water! soap!

“···I don’t understand. How can human excrement not smell?”

“It is to cover up the smell. Although it can be removed to the limit through various processes, it is not possible to this extent. This looks like Dragonia’s perfume.”

perfume?

“Isn’t perfume supposed to smell?”

Ramrat looked in my direction.

“It was made for patients with hidrohidrosis. A magical perfume that completely removes odors. If you spray it, it lasts for a few days.”

“How many days will pass?”

Ramrat frowned and put the human waste into a small wooden box.

“It starts to smell again.”

“···Is it really magic? What is the probability that it is something else?”

“No. I put it in my mouth, but I couldn’t detect it even with my sense of smell. It’s as if the smell itself has completely disappeared. This can only be explained by magic.”

A smile appeared on Juul’s face at Ramrat’s confirmation.

“······It is done.”

“What happened?”

“We won.”

···why? Isn’t it a disadvantage if the opponent uses magic?

“Why did you win?”

“The Magic Tower absolutely hates its magic or magical creations being used in conflicts. When such a situation arises, Dragonia steps in and punishes the abuser!”

I was out of breath. Dragonia is coming out?

no. You have to listen to what people say until the end.

“······So?”

“If we fly an eagle on Horus, it means that the real Dragonia of the Magic Tower will come to help us!”

The death sentence was handed down full of vigor.

*

······I do not know what should I do.

How will Dragonia come, how will it approach us, and how will it catch the criminal? With that in mind, we should never meet.

However, not knowing anything about Dragonia was also a problem. As I followed Jules, who was smiling happily, I had a strange thought.

“···There is something I don’t understand.”

“Why?”

“Is there anyone who goes around putting their own poop on their body?”

If you have that perfume, shouldn’t you just spray it on and go around? Juul also smiled and wrinkled his eyebrows.

“Don’t talk nonsense. Of course not.”

“Then why do you spray perfume that removes odor on the stool?”

Jules tilted his head.

“It must be an inducement. If it starts to smell after a few days── Damn it…?!”

Jules cursed.

The fangs are bared, and the eyes seem to be burning.

Only after Ramrat, who was passing by, was startled and fell, did Juul gain the momentum to kill someone at any moment.

“Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”

“They are getting ready to run away.”

“Running away?”

“This is just an eye-catcher! They had no intention of waiting until the rainy season passed!”
