First camp after leaving the City of Rosendal.

Since we had our dinner early, I decided to tackle the customary weekly sak offering for Demiurgos-sama.

As usual, the offering was a few large bottles of sak and premium canned snacks.

Sorry for being a bother each week, my friend~

No, no, no its not a bother at all~ [3] This is also a kind of insurance for me.

Apologies for taking up so much of your time. It must be such a ha.s.sle to have to take care of this as well as them,

No, its all fine. Ninril-sama and the rest have settled on receiving their offerings once a month, which is a great help to me. Also, Demiurgos-sama only likes sak, so it did not really take up a lot of time to choose the drinks.

Since Demiurgos-sama left everything up to me, my only job was to pick out whatever looks good on the ranking lists. So, really, it was no trouble at all.

Im glad you think that, though I still dont think its completely fair to you Thats right! You just left Rosendal, yes?

Yes, we did

I see, I see. Well, the timing appears to be just right. Generally, the divine should not interfere with the mortal world too much, but I do believe it should be fine this time.

Hm? Is there something you would like me to do?

See that mountain over there?

A mountain? [1] There was only one mountain to the left of the main road.

You should, ahem, pay a visit. [5]

Eh? Wait, is there something on that mountain?

Well, youll know when you see it for yourself, [7] said Demiurgos-sama mysteriously. Im sure the Fenrir will notice it. Right, see you again~

Ah! Wait, Demiurgos-sama!

I called for G.o.d of Creation several times after that, but received no reply.

Just what is going on with that mountain?

Please read this at dot com ~

In short, thats what happened.

It was breakfast time. I took the opportunity to tell my familiars about Demiurgos-samas mysterious oracle after they had their first round of seconds.

Speaking of which, todays breakfast consisted of ginger-fried pork slices on rice. For my familiars at least. [1] As expected, I cannot bear the sight of meat and had a bonito flakes rice ball, a mustard leaf rice ball as well as a bowl of instant miso soup I bought from [Net Super] instead.

So, G.o.d says we should head over to that mountain. Mmm, sounds interesting seconds.

It was Fers fifth seconds. [5] [8]

Here you go. I have no idea what well find there though [5]

Hey, if its that mountain, I think I know- seconds for me too! [3] Dora-chan declared.

I placed Dora-chans third portion of seconds in front of him and asked, [3] You know that mountain?

Kind of? I went there once by accident and had a terrible experience, [3] Dora-chan mumbled into his bowl.

Master, Sui wants more too~

A terrible experience? I prompted while automatically preparing Suis portion.

Umm, like, if theres just one of them Id never lose. But those things like to show up in big numbers. They are annoying and annoyingly persistent. I was chased so much that I got so p.i.s.sed off that I just stabbed the lot of them with my Ice Spears.

That does not sound promising.

Big numbers?

Persistent?

Chases after a known danger like Dora-chan? [5]

Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds only stopped chasing me after I stabbed more than half of them to death!

Dora-chan what exactly are those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds youre talking about?

However, instead of answering me, Dora-chan turned to Fer, Hey, didja fight em too?

Umu, those things are notoriously cunning. They are a pain but I can deal with them. [5]

Excuse me

Huff, its especially annoying once they start throwing stones and things,

Excuse me? Stone?

Umu, those stone-throwers are d.a.m.n annoying. However, I have Sui and Dora with me now, kukuku, we should not ignore an oracle from the G.o.ds. I wonder, how much fun it would be to destroy them.

Yeah? I want to get to the dungeon, but I dont mind making a stop for revenge! Vengeance will be mine!! Mwahahaha!! [5]

Hey, you two just what kind of creature are you talking about? [5]

Humph, its those Black Baboons,

Yeech, those d.a.m.ned Black Baboons,

[9] A monkey-like creature? No wait, is the baboon an ape or a monkey? Is this even important?

Monster~? Fighting~?

Ou, youre going to like it, Sui. Were going to beat up some monsters,

And win!!

Yay~~ Sui will take down lots~~

Ahhh, even without my input, all three of my familiars were already hyped up by the prospect of fighting some new monsters. [6] Well, new for Sui but old and presumably annoying enemies for Fer and Dora-chan.

I guess, since Demiurgos-sama already strongly hinted for us to go, we have no choice

Right, now that breakfast is over, lets head over to the mountain!!

Ou!! Lets goooo!!!

Sui wants to defeat lots and lots~~

Hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. What are you guys saying? At the very least, lets clean up the camp first!

Mu, be quick about it!

Sure, but its not like we have to go right away,

What are you talking about? Theres an oracle from the G.o.ds! An oracle! We have no choice but to fulfil it as soon as possible!

Yeah! Yeah! What he says! Im so gonna make them regret chasing me last time!

Master~~ lets hurry~~?

Aughh, I guess theres no use trying to talk sense to these battle crazed creatures [5] [8]

Known as (hihi) in j.a.panese with the additional meaning of lecher or skirt-chaser.

Replaced this with ape vs monkey contemplation instead. The j.a.panese language does not differentiate ape from monkey, they are all saru.
