"It's too soon for whatever it takes. It's just spring."

Gaius put his arms together with a difficult face.

"Of course, we know about that. I'm asking you to be unscrupulous."

What Gaius is talking about is a messenger from the Rock Cave.

Summer hunting is like a year-round event in a northern town. It will be roughly two months' journey, including going back and forth, to participate in the hunt for the cloywatlizard, which occurs heavily in the Rock Cave in the summer.

It is a massive event, with the participation of the hunter, who is famous for being a hunter's town in the north, but who was the Lord. The North Forest has few demons in the summer, making it a good earner too.

But that's after the star festival, that is, after summer. It's unusual for hunting requests to come at this time of year when it's just spring, and the number of demons is much higher than in summer, even though it's getting smaller.

"In addition, we have also told you to bring all the northern town mentors and apprentices this year."

"The mentor doesn't come back until the summer after a request from the plains. We need a healer in this town, so, yeah, you know, we can't put it out in another town."

"Oh no. Is that little healer too"

"I'm with my mentor. Besides, it's a young group of children, not to mention powerful. You know you can't just dispatch children without a mentor."

Mostly every town relies too much on its mentors. As for Deep Forest, every town comes from itself to the Deep Forest to learn new healing moves from their mentors, but they just try to call on their mentors to make it a plain or a rock cave, and it's too thick.

Gaius was frustrated to see what it meant to try to call Shaw alone. Shaw, who has been very active since the first year he was taken by his mentor, is a very popular person in that town of Iwadong, from children to adults, but that's why he can't be allowed to go without his parents, naturally.

"I don't know what to say, but you'd better appeal to your lord, not if you're making such a request to a northern town."

"Of course it is. If we can't contain the cloywatlizard in our town in Iwado, it will be a repeat of a catastrophe a hundred years ago. At a time when the number of demons is unusual, not only are the rock caves appealing to the plains where the damage may go, but also to the deep woods with the help of hunters"

"Hmm. Then why is there no movement"

Gaius wondered.

I had felt the number of demons continue to increase over the past few years, but this winter there were more demons in the North Forest as well, so much so that Lyla, a brilliant and cautious hunter, was injured.

Only four years ago, Falco alone managed to squeeze the northern forest with more demons than even five good hunters could get injured.

Of course, it was possible because Falco had nothing to protect at the time and was hunting for as many people as he could alone. Falco is now a good hunter but no longer forced. But that's fine. Even dangerous hunters are just enough to be discreet.

Originally Deep Forest is a hunter's country, so something called a town is just a hub and often doesn't hesitate to travel. Because of that, there are not many places that place something like a plain called a town mayor. The northern town is also right, when influential hunters represent and shoulder to shoulder the hassle.

Lords are responsible for this from generation to generation, but for Deep Forest, little moves except when measures should be taken across the realm or when all four realms are involved.

And the representative of the northern town is, in other words, Gaius. I had no choice but to warn my lord about the increase in demons these past few years at the end of this winter.

At that time, the mentor should have suggested the need for more healers.

"Well, a month after I gave the warning, you mean your town just gave the warning and the lords are still seeing things? I hope there's such a respite."

"That's right. In a really chopped situation. Can't you handle the north town, too?"

"Well, then."

Gaius refused without a scratch.

Of course, it doesn't matter for the hunter personally to go to the Rock Cave. But the northern towns are so dependable not only because of the power of the individual, but also because the hunters of the northern towns excel in mass warfare. Going to Rock Cave without preparation and training until the summer was something Gaius also wanted to avoid.

The dining room at Gina's Inn, which was a little bothered, became a little quiet then.

Any important messenger has no choice but to entertain in Gina's Inn or Church in a northern town without a mayor's mansion or anything else. We were all just listening to each other with intrigue.

"Gaius."

It was Rick who had just grown up who spoke up. He is an excellent healer of Deep Forest.

"Rick. And Alfie. It's important right now. What's up?"

"Oh, isn't that the other little healer?"

Alfi grinned bitterly at the words of the messenger. Even as an apprentice, Alfi was not very tall, had no muscles, and remained small in one way or another. It was also unwillingness to be called a still small healer with Shaw.

"I heard a messenger came from Rock Cave."

Rick started talking calmly.

"My mentor included me because maybe this year's hunt will be quicker. He said he might have a request for a healer in the north town."

"Chip."

Gaius tongued badly.

Because I felt that I was trying to keep the northern town in good shape, but the Church was trying to ruin it more than that.

That guy wants to think about a lot of things right away, but he's a healer in the north town in the first place, so could you give priority to the north town?

"Gaius, the mentor has been working since last fall to be able to show healing moves for anything a little more powerful in this town. As a result, you should know that there are more adult but apprenticeship level healers and children who are candidates for healing. And the North Forest was originally full of healers."

As a matter of fact, Gaius was also told by his mentor. That summer hunting requests may be quicker.

"The hunter is the occasional workout. We know that it is not that easy to increase the number of people. Even if they tell you to come quick, it's not that easy to get there. Fortunately, however, the number of healers is increasing, albeit slightly. When the healer requests it, I want you to talk to the church."

But whether I send it or not, I was left to make that kind of a nasty decision. Make it look good.

"As the regular healer naturally leaves it in the northern town, I've been told that it's okay to send him to Rock Cave if it's just me who's just grown up and Alfi, who's an apprentice but used to hunting in the summer. Sure, if Gaius gives you permission."

Gaius got more and more sick of saying this to Rick. Aren't you like the bad guy? If I were to say that much, I would rather be thorough with the bad guys, etc. If I was thinking about what I don't think is the representative of the town, the door opened again, and now it's time for the dining room to be quiet.
