Chapter 133
" . . . It's kinda, peaceful . . . "
"Yeah . It's peaceful . . . "
A little while after we entered Cikirisbia Forest .
Monsters are running from us like always, so our journey has been exceedingly peaceful .
"Come to think of it, I understand that monsters run away from Iris-san, but where do they run off to? If they were to leave the forest and attack a town . . . "
"Ah, that won't happen . "
I point at the direction we just passed .
Monsters who went away to avoid us have come back to the place .
"If you focus on the 【Passive Detection】, you should see that those monsters came back to their positions after we had passed through . Monsters have this turf-like area thing and they seldom leave it . "
"Ah, I've heard about that before! If a strong monster appears, you estimate their rough turf and make sure not to enter that area . . . . "
<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >
"That's one way to use it . There's also a tactic to lure out a strong monster by purposely rampaging inside their turf . "
The turf of a monster is generally larger the stronger that monster is .
And while they don't really cause harm to other monsters, they will attack any human that rampages inside their turf .
"T-that's, I'd rather not putting that into practice . . . . By the way, how will you go around doing that?"
"Right . . . . You do it by defeating monsters or cutting the surrounding trees down and such . . . oh and it can also be done just by walking around while sprinkling your mana around . We're doing that pattern this time . "
"I see . . . Hm?"
Ruli stopped her words midway .
Looks like she noticed something .
"What do you mean by . . . 『This time』?"
"Right . . . . I think you'll understand if you focus 【Passive Detection】 over there . "
I pointed diagonally as I said that .
And from that direction--a huge mana reaction is charging straight at us .
Looks like the lure by way of Iris works as intended .
"H . . . Hold on, this reaction, isn't it really really bad!?"
"We have to run away . . . "
"I don't think I can stop this one either you know!?"
The three who saw the coming monster began to panic .
Looks like the monster had come into view while were talking .
Well, it might be also because it's very easy to see the monster considering it's five meter tall .
I stood upright while watching that monster .
And declared the plan .
"No, you three, please don't move from there . "
""" . . . Eh?"""
