At last, the long-awaited changing room is complete.
About ten days after the Chimera subjugation. With the large amount of lumber we received from the “Hard-Boiled Guys” and the reward from the guild, we built a small changing hut connected to the bathhouse.
Now, I don’t have to see the girls going from the loft to the bathhouse in the nude.
Mom is so happy he could cry.
Oh, and we also made a bed for Meg.
With the leftover lumber, we also made a cat tower for Lion King and his wife. According to the cat house story, they watch for mice from the top of this tower.
Anyway, with the completion of the changing room, the clan hut of “Hope” has evolved from a clan ruin to a clan rib hut.
Next, we want to evolve to about a clan shanty.
“From now on, change your clothes in the changing room. Don’t wander around naked.”
“Eh…?”
Asuka makes a very surprised face.
What’s with that face?
“You won’t be able to see us naked anymore? Mommy Nel.”
“It’s not that you won’t be able to, you shouldn’t. Why do I have to explain this to you?”
To a girl of age.
This is strange.
What kind of education did they receive at the orphanage where they grew up?
“No way! If you can’t see us naked anymore! What will Mommy Nel live for?”
“That’s right! You don’t have to push yourself!”
“Mother Nel. Are you sick by any chance?”
Even Meisha and Miliaria started saying strange things.
By the way, were they showing off on purpose until now?
I end up holding my head.
“Ugh…”
And then Meg is looking at us with a slightly taken aback expression.
This is bad.
This is really bad.
I have to clear up the misunderstanding quickly.
“Meg. You must be misunderstanding something.”
“It’s okay, Nelband-san. People have different tastes.”
“Wait. Don’t show understanding for the mystery. Listen to me.”

“It seems that the monsters are getting stronger throughout the Gaillia region.”
Jennifer makes a troubled face.
There seems to be no confirmation.
There seem to be reports from many adventurers that the monsters have become stronger or increased.
However, there are no reports of fields being ravaged or livestock damage increasing.
Isn’t this strange?
If the number of monsters increases, the damage to farms and ranches will increase proportionally.
It’s a question of what the monsters are eating to survive.
They can’t survive on the blessings of the mountains and fields alone, so they attack humans even in normal times. They are not in conflict with humans out of preference.
So, if the number increases, the amount of food needed will also increase.
They will attack. With increased power. Farms and ranches.
“I don’t understand.”
“Do you have any idea, Lionel-san? About the changes in the monsters.”
“Hmm.”
I cross my arms and explain what I felt in Lacris’s labyrinth.
Including Miliaria’s opinion.
“So, the appearance of the Chimera is also rooted in the same thing…”
“There’s no confirmation. It just makes sense.”
“If the views of the strategist and the sage coincide, I think that’s already confirmation.”
Jennifer puts her index finger on her well-shaped chin and slightly puckers her lips.
This very cute gesture is her habit when she is thinking deeply.
“Can you show your face at the guild again tomorrow?”
“Why?”
“I will issue a designated request to ‘Hope’. It’s an investigation into the increase and strengthening of monsters.”
“Hey, hey…”
I can’t accept that.
The story is too vague.
I don’t even know where or how to investigate.
Without any clues, just being told to investigate is a problem.
“Here is your destination.”
Jennifer walks briskly to the wall and points her white fingertip at the large map.
“Piran’s abandoned castle? Why?”
I tilt my head.
It’s supposed to be a fortress built by the demon race during the human-demon war 500 years ago.
In the end, it was never used in actual battle, and wasn’t it abandoned when the defeated Demon King’s army fled south in the Sumer Plain battle?
After that, humans tried to occupy it, but there were too many traps and they gave up, and there are even dubious traditions left.
In reality, it’s probably just that the strategic value of the place has become zero since the Demon King’s army left to the south and created the Masrur Kingdom.
And even after five hundred years, that value hasn’t changed.
It’s too far from the main road, there are no towns or villages nearby, and it’s too far from the border to be convenient as a military base.
Frankly, they’re probably just letting it decay because it would be a waste of money to demolish it. That’s true for all the successive kingdoms.
What could be there in such a place?
“Well, I don’t know that much. It’s just a woman’s intuition.”
“There it is. A woman’s intuition.”
It sounds incredibly suspicious, but in Jennifer’s case, it often means something.
Her gift is that of a saint.
Like our Meisha, she sometimes receives divine revelations. It’s called sense luck, where you understand where the decisive moment is without any basis.
But Jennifer insists on calling it a woman’s intuition.
“But well, if that’s the case, let’s give it a shot.”
I said, with a grin on my face.
