Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu Volume 3 – CH 1.1

Part 1

The day after obtaining the Summoned Beast──

Diablo’s group had come to the lakeside of 《Kosei》[1] this time. It was about an hour walk downstream from Fort Bridge Ulg.

There were rocks laying around, but it was flat for the most part, and there was undergrowth that grew up to about knee level.

Today, they were doing a small collecting quest.

Although it was easy, the setting was that the reward was raised due to things like public order having deteriorated recently. It was a so called Profit Quest.

After somehow completely gathering up the required amount of medicinal plants, they finished up by having lunch with the hard-baked bread that they brought.

The changing of the seasons in the Faltra vicinity was gentle, and it was said that the temperature didn’t rise that much even when it became summer, but even so, when it became June, the number of hot days increased.

If they went back now, they would probably reach the town before it became evening.

Shera scowled.

「Come to think of it, Rem, doesn’t it kinda smell?」

「……Smell, is it? It is the riverside after all, so there is the smell of water and grass, you know?」

「That’s not what I mean. Rem, don’t you smell?」

「…………………………Ha?」

「Nn～, you really do smell. Look, you’ve been moving a lot. That’s why, you smell of sweat. Also, smell of dirt. And then……what could this be, a beastly smell?」

Sniffing, she snorted her nose.

Rem hugged her body, and jumped back.

「P, please don’t sniff me! I do not smell!」

「But it would be better if you took a bath. Rather, I want to take a bath! Hey, let’s do that!」

「Kuh……You……Saying that a person “smells” just because you want to bathe yourself, I find something very wrong with that, you know!?」

「You’re wrong! You really do smell!」

She vigorously asserted that.
