The Strongest Onmyoji and the Shikigami With AI are Unparalleled in Another World ~ A Second Life Properly Enjoyed Using Artificial Intelligence ~-Chapter 42 - Return

Having dealt with the cause of the Stampede, we decided to ride on the revived Bee-san and return to town.

Gradually flying back as the sky darkens, we approach the town.

As we do, we pass by the burning Chiril Plains, numerous dead bodies of monsters, and Big Spider-chan chasing after fleeing monsters.

“Big Spider-chan, you’re doing great.”

Stopping the bee mid-air, I mutter while watching Big Spider-chan crushing the monsters.

“It’s terrifying… I tried linking with her, but she’s laughing while repeatedly saying ‘Die’…”

That’s scary…

“Looks like the monsters have mostly scattered, should I erase them?”

“I think that’s a good idea. The monsters seem to have clearly lost their will to fight. Most likely, that Sven used some kind of frenzy magic.”

So, when Sven disappeared, the effect wore off…

Once they’ve calmed down, even low-intelligence orcs and goblins wouldn’t stand a chance against Big Spider-chan.

“Big Spider-chan!”

Calling out to her, Big Spider-chan stops moving and looks at us.

That’s a relief…

She listened to us.

It seems she has her own will, so I was a bit worried she wouldn’t listen.

“Return.”

Saying so, I make Big Spider-chan disappear.

“She said she could’ve still killed more.”

Well, spiders are carnivores.

It’s a bit vicious, but it can’t be helped.

Foxes are carnivores too, though…

“AI-chan, let’s go home.”

“Yes, let’s.”

We have Bee-san take us back to town.

Once we’re back, we land on the defensive wall and dismiss Bee-san.

On top of the wall, the same people as when we left are there, along with Jeffrey. There are no other adventurers, just a few soldiers.

“I’m back.”

“…Welcome back. How did it go?”

After dismissing Bee-san, Alice asks.

“It’s done. I don’t think any more monsters will be coming.”

“Yuuma, tell us more. We were dealing with a rampaging monster spider, then suddenly the monsters all fled.”

Jeffrey seeks an explanation and context.

“I went to check out the cause of the Stampede. There was this strange guy. According to AI-chan, he’s a demon.”

“…A demon!? Is that true!?”

Jeffrey leans in, his voice agitated, making sure no one else can hear.

Close…

The difference from Pamela is significant.

“He said so himself, so it must be true, right? I’ve never seen or heard of anything like it before, so I don’t know.”

“A demon…”

Jeffrey begins to contemplate seriously.

“Anyway, that demon was the cause. But he ran off, and since we dealt with the cause, everything should be fine now.”

“He ran off? The demon did?”

Jeffrey looks surprised.

“Yeah, I gave him a pat on the head and he spat out some cheesy line before running off. Sorry, but I’m not familiar with the forest, so I didn’t chase him.”

“You fought him…? That’s dangerous, buddy. Demons are formidable opponents.”

Is that so?

Well, not everyone is strong, and someone who resorts to such cheap tricks must have been a weak demon.

“That’s why I’m saying I don’t know. I just got here recently. Besides, he wasn’t much of a challenge.”

“I see… I’d like to hear the full story later, but let’s leave it for now. Anyway, thanks for taking care of the problem. And thanks to you summoning the giant spider, we managed.”

Well, they seemed to have caused quite a rampage…

“What are we going to do now?”

“For now, we wait. Although I’ve told the adventurers to rest. Soldiers will be on guard tonight, so everyone, please get some rest.”

Even though the monsters ran off, there’s still a possibility they might return.

More importantly, they might be worried about the Big Spider-chan returning.

“Hey, how are we going to explain about Big Spider-chan?”

“We’ll consider that along with the demon. Come to the guild later, I’ll have an assignment for you.”

I wonder if we’ll get a reward?

“Got it. Can we go back to the clan dorms?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Being able to sleep in your own bed… That’s nice.

“What about you guys?”

I ask the women who are still here.

“Oh, we were just waiting for you.”

Annie responded with her arms crossed.

“Oh, right… My bad. I’m tired, let’s go home.”

“Yeah.”

“…I’m sleepy.”

We’ve been fighting since early morning, after all.

We decided to rest and left the scene, returning to the clan dorms where we disbanded. When I got back to my room, I took a bath and went to bed. There were no special summonings that night, and I didn’t sense any monsters energy, so I was able to sleep until morning.

Even after waking up, nothing particularly eventful happened. While lounging around in my room with AI-chan, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?”

“Ah, It’s me.”

It’s Pamela’s voice.

“You can come in.”

I gave permission for her to enter, and with a click, the door opened and Pamela walked into the room.
