Volume 1 Chapter 31 Accompanying the Investigation of the [Cursed Forest]
I was flying on a wyvern with my old friends and adventurers, Lisbette and others, heading to [a certain place].
"Wow, that's amazing Zeke! To completely tame a wyvern! Your rank as a beast veterinarian has really gone up!"
Lis looked at me with sparkling eyes.
Her other party members also said, "Wow, you're riding a wyvern!" "Controlling a magic beast, Mr. Zeke, you're something special!"
But on the other hand...
"Hmph! Don't get cocky just because you're a beast tamer."
"Don't say that, Zacomono. It's disrespectful to Zeke."
One of the members, a mage named Zacomono, looked at me with doubtful eyes.
"Why on earth are you trying to bring this beast tamer into our group, Lady Lisbette? He is not fit for our proud [Dragon of Dusk]."
"Well, you'll understand soon, that our Zeke is amazing!"
A little later...
We arrived at the entrance of the forest, on the edge of the beastman country in the north.
"So this is the [Cursed Forest]."
"Yeah. It's always surrounded by a poisonous mist, powerful monsters roam around, and there have even been recent sightings of Demonkin. It's a dangerous place."
Lis and her S-rank party were called in to investigate the place.
"Sorry Zeke. Help me investigate."
"Don't worry about it. If I heard that my friend was going to a dangerous place, I wouldn't be able to leave you alone."
I'm also curious about the Demonkin' movements.
The Curest Forest is adjacent to the Beastman country.
"Zeke, you're such a good guy!"
Lis clings tightly to my arm.
Hmm, her breasts seem to be bigger than before...
"Get away from Lady Lisbette, you fool!"
Zacomono's face turned red and he pushed me away.
"Hey, Zacomono, what are you doing to Zeke? Sorry, he's one of us"
Zacomono raises his voice.
"What's so good about a guy like this!?"
"He's strong, cool and reliable"
"Damn! Can I really rely on someone to take care of this bastard?"
I reached out to Lis and activated the Hand of God.
A holy light surrounded them.
"Alright, let's investigate. Everyone, did you bring the holy water?"
"Holy water? Why do we need that?"
"Hmph! In this thick poisonous mist, humans can't move, you fool!"
But I shook my head and said.
"No, I set up a barrier, so I think we're okay."
"No way! I can't believe such nonsense! Right, Lady Lisbette?"
But ignoring Zacomono, she confidently walked into the forest without using holy water.
"It's true! I can move normally!"
"What!? No way!?"
The rest of the members entered the forest too, and they could breathe just fine.
"Wow, it's totally fine!" "Mr. Zeke is amazing!"
Ugh... Zacomono was grinding his teeth.
"Thanks, Zeke. You helped me save the holy water. It's expensive and rare."
"Don't worry about it. More importantly, let's hurry up and go."
The forest was covered in a purple mist.
This is the poison gas; it is harmful to humans.
"I was asked to investigate the source of this poisonous gas, but I can't see anything. Zacomono, can you find it with Search magic?"
"Sorry! This miasma seems to be preventing magic from being activated..."
In the midst of all this, I say.
"Oh? I see. I can easily find the source."
"Huh?! What the hell?! Don't be stupid! I can't use Search magic, okay!?"
"You don't need to use magic, I can tell by the smell"
"What, a smell!?"
Beast veterinarians have extraordinary senses.
If I follow the smell of miasma....
"I found it"
We arrived at a massive lake.
The water was all poisoned, bubbling and foaming and giving off miasma.
"Mr. Zeke is so amazing! I respect you! You're even better than Zacomono"
Ugh, Zacomono grimaces in frustration.
"Okay, we've pinpointed the location. All we have to do is report it to the guild."
"Hey, everyone, I'll purify it while we're here"
"What a fool! Purifying the miasma! That's a feat only a saint could accomplish!?"
Ignoring Zacomono's words, I turned both hands toward the lake and activated Hand of God.
Hummm...!
As it shone brightly, the poisonous lake at the bottom... turned back into a beautiful lake.
"N-no way! You used purification magic!? How could you use a magic only a saint can use!?"
Hand of God also had the power to heal conditions, but I didn't think it was as strong as a saint's.
"You're amazing, Zeke! You really are dependable!"
Lis hugged me with a smile.
"Hey, Zeke. Why don't you join us as adventurers?"
"Sorry about that."
"Aww, I won't give up that easily!"
Meanwhile, Zacomono gritted his teeth and muttered, "...You better remember this."
