Incubus Banishment

After the battle.

The city became enveloped in great bustle after the sweeping victory against the army of Armor Ants.

Victim zero. In addition a lot of Armor Ant materials that could be used to make expensive weapon or armor were obtained, serving as a sudden extraordinary revenue for the whole city.

But while the streets were filled with such hustle and bustle that was like a festival,

The adventurer guild was still filled with a tense atmosphere.

The reason was because of the appearance of the army of Armor Ants. That meant that there was a huge nest nearby that managed to produce such threat.

Furthermore that nest managed to gather a lot of food without being detected by adventurers and grew their strength to form an army. Such danger had to be dealt with as soon as possible.

There was no guarantee that the second or third army would come while they were dragging their feet.

「Fortunately, it’s incredibly easy to trace back the path the Armor Ants marched on. After all they left behind clear footsteps and remains of their food. I want to find their nest as quickly as possible and crush it before they manage to increase their strength again.」

Like that, the next day after the Armor Ant army was crushed.

Finding the nest and destroying it──the guild master Goudo-san announced that emergency quest. Alicia and I also got recruited and we joined unhesitatingly but……there was just one problem.

「Aaaaaaaah♥ A joint mission with Eriol-kun who appeared even in my dream……this is just the best……!」

It was that the leader of the nest destruction force was Rainy-san.

Goudo-san whispered to me apologetically.

「Sorry for calling you like this right after what happened yesterday and also dropping this on you……however because of the appearance of the army type, I have a lot of work to do like reporting to the feudal lord, warning the surrounding area, and asking for their cooperation……right now Rainy is the only veteran with abundant experience of destroying nest who we have on hand. Sorry but please endure it.」

Besides, Goudo-san lowered his voice even further and continued.

「With the strength you showed yesterday, I decided that there’s no way Rainy will be able to rape you forcefully.」

Perhaps becoming too strong also wasn’t completely a good thing…….

While thinking like that, we traced back the path the ants took as a member of the subjugation force.

The subjugation force was a large group that consisted of nearly 80 people, perhaps in consideration of the unknown danger that the nest might posed.

It was awful on the way there just as expected.

「Eriol-kun♥ Feel free to ask me anything if there’s something that you don’t understand okay? Also when camping you will sleep together with me, leader’s order. You don’t need to worry about anything♥」

「……Erio……if you get along with Rainy-san……you will also get along with me, twice as much won’t you……?」

Rainy-san and Alicia occupied the spots at my sides while the horse carriage was shaking our body. The two of them kept whispering sweet voices into my ears the whole time from both sides. It would cause a commotion if I ran away, so did my best to endure it while turning bright red.

But those embarrassing whispers were decreasing the further the carriage progressed.

Because the footprints of the ants was following the highway that led straight toward Algo Village where the dungeon outbreak occurred.

「Rainy-san, this……don’t tell me that the nest’s location is at……」

「……Impossible. Although the dungeons’ removal has mostly finished yesterday, multiple adventurers were constantly on the search as countermeasures against dungeon outbreak until two or three days ago you know……? The probability of them overlooking the breeding of the ants in this place should be very low……there’s no doubt that these footprints will veer off from the highway at some point.」

Rainy-san denied my opinion with a serious expression without even doing any sexual harassment.

But in contrast with Rainy-san’s prediction, we arrived straight at Algo Village by following the footprints of the ants.

Rainy-san’s expression had become one that completely befitted an adventurer. All members of the subjugation force obeyed her order and investigated the surrounding area──there we immediately found a large hole.

The hole’s wall was different from dungeon’s wall that shined due to the magic power inclination.

The inside of the hole was illuminated by the phosphorescence of planted luminous moss that was the preference of Armor Ant. This hole was their nest.

「……Tsu!? How can a giant nest like this appeared in a place where countermeasures for dungeon outbreak were carried out……although it’s possible to camouflage this nest’s existence by blocking the entrance, vast amount of food should be necessary for a nest to produce an army type. How did they hunt for food without getting discovered by adventurers……could it be, no but……」

Rainy-san was muttering in a daze.

She narrowed her intelligent eyes and mumbling things without even touching my butt, but before long she came to a decision and lifted her face.

「……It’s no use to just think about it. For now our priority is to investigate the nest and destroy it. Assault team, make your preparation. Communication team, tell the guild that we’ve found the nest. We might need reinforcement depending on the situation.」

The surrounding started moving busily following Rainy-san’s instruction.

The communication team had rare crystal of long range communication.

Unlike the large crystal that was placed in guild’ and the country’s facility, the crystal here had a portable size. The number of times it could be used was limited, so it was only used for important quest like this.

Some time passed as we prepared for going in. And then.

「This……is troublesome.」

Rainy-san muttered.

When I asked her what was the matter, she looked back at me and replied 「The nest is bigger than expected」 with a serious expression.

「When attacking a nest of Armor Ant, the most efficient way is to swiftly kill the queen at the deepest part. That will stop the ants from increasing their number further while also making them lose any reason to protect the nest. We’ll be able to annihilate them easily after they fall into chaos from that. To do that first the Sound Sorcerer that came with us will use their detection magic to investigate the structure of the nest but……this nest is really big. Even the top class Sound Sorcerers of the city won’t be able to investigate it easily.」

In that case they would need to enter the nest blind and fumbled around through the extremely complicated structure. That would be extremely dangerous. Unlike a dungeon, the ants were able to coordinate perfectly with each other, so it would be difficult unless they managed to grasp the shortest route before rushing in.

「It’s also possible to annihilate them using brute force with Eriol-kun here, but this nest is simply unusual in every aspect. I don’t really want to adopt a plan that is too risky like that. Even using starvation tactic might be difficult depending on how much food stock they have.」

「I see……」

I understood from Rainy-san’s explanation.

I pondered for some time after that before whispering to Rainy-san.

「Then, I want to try something.」

「Eh, try something? You mean you want to try my body!?」

「Wrong!!」

Rainy-san who had been making serious face until then covered her ears while her breathing started to become rough. I raised my voice in protest. Even though she would be a respectable adventurer if only she wasn’t like this…….

「It’s not that, if I use my penis sw──magic sword, I might be able to grasp the structure of the whole nest.」

「Eh……?」

That was something that I still couldn’t do in my previous dungeon exploration due to my skill level at that time.

I secretly took out the penis sword, brought only the force commander Rainy-san and Alicia with me, and stood at the entrance of the nest.

「Form Change」 I muttered with a small voice and stabbed the penis sword into the ground.

That moment.

*ZUAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!*

My penis became even thinner than hair and rushed into the nest.

Unlike when I used it as weapon, this time I kept the penis’s senses connected with me.

That part that was the most sensitive in human body transmitted the details of the nest’s structure to me in great detail.

If there was crossroad then the penis would split even further. Like that my penis was spreading throughout the nest.

Several minutes passed like that.

Dead end, crib, food storage, I grasped their positions accurately.

And then,

「……Found it.」

Normally the queen was located in the most spacious room at the deepest part of the nest. Right beside the egg room.

Just as Rainy-san told me, I felt the presence of a particularly large specimen in such location. I whispered.

「I found the shortest route. I’ll draw the map of the whole nest, so please ask the Sound Sorcerers to investigate within their range and compare their result with my map.」

「Eh……? Ee……?」

Rainy-san was dumbfounded as I handed her the map I created.

Before long Rainy-san returned with a look of astonishment.

「Your map completely matched the result of the detection from the Sound Sorcerers for the surface and middle levels. In that case the queen’s location in you map must also be right. ……I had thought this at the fight against the army type too but, just what in the world is that magic sword, what kind of absurd abilities it has……?」

Thank god. It succeeded.

I thanked my disgraceful skills that were unbelievably useful only in their ability while smiling quietly to dodge Rainy-san’s question. I dodged her question with all my might.

Like that we finished our preparation for the assault and started moving to destroy the nest of the Armor Ants that produced an army type.
