011: The demon who kidnapped the girl
Calgalia said that it was a kingdom, but the field area was less than a county in China, and after making some necessary supplies in Fort Rissen, Roshi followed the team and began to march towards the 'Burner's Forest', where news of the demonic infestation came from the northern part of the kingdom, and rushed to the town of Roa near the forest in the afternoon.

In addition to Barr and Jessica, there are also seven people in the team, including Joe, the knight of Resenburg, the two brothers Harry Harvey the swordsman, and Saru, the dwarf, and Roshi.
Although everyone was not tired, it was already evening, and they didn't know anything about the demons and needed to ask for some information in the town, so they stayed in the largest and only two-story white inn in the town.
“... It originally belonged to a pair of orphans and widows, and after the mother's death, her son sold the hotel to me, and the child went to the Southern Dynasty, and I don't know what it is now..."
The middle-aged boss with a white shirt and brown vest and a mustache of medium stature is a chatterbox, and while checking in, he tells Roshi about the history of the tavern.
"This is where the old master lived, look, I didn't lie to you, this one is indeed bigger, and this extra silver coin will definitely not make you suffer," said Roshi, leading him into the corridor on the second floor, pushing open a room
"Oh! that's good," and after nodding his head in satisfaction, Roshi said to the others, "If no one minds, I'd like to pay an extra silver coin."
It is true that no one would care about such a trivial matter with Roshi, not to mention that the cost of this trip was all borne by Risen Castle, and after accepting the silver coins, the boss went down.
Entering the room, Roshi did not plan to rest for a while because of fatigue, as told the others, but began to grope around the room, as if looking for something.
The hotel in the remote town was a simple one-bed and a wooden table by the window, but Roshi did not spare even an inch of the floor, and even lifted the mattress from the back and knocked it around along the bed.
"Knock! knock!"
Finally, when he hit a certain position on the bed, there was a different dull sound, and if you looked closely, you could see that there seemed to be traces of splicing.
Using the dagger to follow the small crack next to it, a thin wooden board of about an inch was lifted, and the position was completely hollow, and a brown cowhide notebook was placed in the bed that looked like a small box.
It seems to be this diary.
October 20, cloudy
Mom coughed again, blood stained her silk scarf red, Mom said it was because Daddy in heaven missed her, but... Why is mom so miserable?
Mom always said that one day an angel will come to us, she will heal the pain on Mom's body, and we will be happy from then on, I really hope she will come soon.

Angel!
I saw her, she was so beautiful, my heart was beating so fast, my cheeks seemed to be on fire, I mustered up the courage to come and talk to her.
She was as kind and kind as my mother said, and although her guards were a little rude, she generously promised me after listening to me about my mother that she would help my mother see a doctor tomorrow.

November 29, fine
It turned out that she was Her Royal Highness the Princess, and when she appeared at the door of our hotel today, the whole block was boiling, and she was like a splendid ...
"Damn it, get out of here, you ugly, filthy..."
"It's disgusting, what the hell is this? Who can give..."
The commotion outside the door interrupted Roshi's train of thought, and he put away his journal and pushed open the door into the hallway, where he looked at the door of the hotel directly below and Jessica seemed to be arguing with someone.
said that it was an argument, but in fact, it was just Jessica unilaterally insulting a stranger at the door who had never met before, and it was a man with a very 'peculiar' appearance.
His crumpled skin was covered with small bumps, his bald head was hovering with one or two mosquitoes and flies at any given moment, and the hump on his back was even higher than his head, and he was holding a wildflower in his hand that he had picked out of nowhere, smiling at Jessica and saying something with a leaky mouth.
After walking down the stairs and approaching, Roshi heard that this strange guy was actually confessing to Jessica, and he said, "... I really like you, girl, and I'll protect you from any injuries..."
"Get out of here, you monster, stay away from me, don't come near me" Jessica was obviously choked, angrily insulting, and at the same time raised her hand and slapped it, but it seemed that the man looked too disgusting, and the hand that was halfway to the punch retracted, and then quickly stepped back.
"Get out, disgusting monster"
At this moment, there was a break from behind him, Joe, who had blonde hair and blue eyes and a tall nose, dressed as a knight, walked up from behind, and when he came to Jessica's side, he pulled out the long sword in his hand with a 'bang': "Don't harass this beautiful young lady again, otherwise don't blame my long sword"
The hunchbacked man looked at Jessica, then showed a sad expression, lowered his head and put down the flower in his hand, turned away without saying a word, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
"I hope this ugly monster didn't frighten you, beautiful Miss Jessica," put away her sword, and Joe turned to Jessica with a concerned expression on her face and comforted her.
"I'm really frightened, you came just in time, you are such a model of a knight..."
This strange thing was soon drowned out in the mutual flirtation between Jessica and Knight Joe, but it was also a matter of night when they had to compete for depth and length, and seeing that everyone was not tired, Barr proposed to go to the town before it was dark to inquire about the demon, which was unanimously agreed.
Roshi, who knows the plot well, just wants to stay in the house and have a good rest, but it's not good to pretend after all, so he can only put the diary aside.
After wandering around the street for a while, he couldn't even see a pretty chick, so he pretended to ask a few people, and Roshi returned to the hotel, and after a while, everyone else also returned, and everyone began to exchange information, and the townspeople knew a lot about the demons.
"It was a monster with two heads, and it let out a strange scream, and anyone who heard it would faint to death, and it was by this that it took the girl away."
"It lives deep in the forest, captures the girl near the forest to vent ****, and then kills the girl, and uses black magic to seal the body into a humanoid doll"
"Its eyes are like vipers..."
Every villager seems to be able to say a few words, but it can be seen that most of them are false, and no one knows how powerful the real key demon is.
"Alright, now that we know that the demon is deep in the forest, that's enough, let's go into the forest tomorrow morning and try to get back to Resenburg for dinner."
Maybe it's because of the overconfidence in his own strength, and Joe, who has been caring about the flirtatious girl since he set off, has not expressed any worries about this mission.
"Shouldn't we discuss a battle plan, even the most powerful dwarves will not be so lightly defeated, it is not easy to hear His Highness say this..."
"Your Highness has been staying in the palace and doesn't know the details," the swordsman Harvey interrupted the dwarf Saru, and said lazily, "Or are you frightened by the nonsense of the poor people outside?"
"No one but the 'Poison Dragon' can bluff Saru, do you want to taste my hammer?" the fiery Saru jumped onto the table at once.
The poisonous dragon in his mouth was a once-prominent group of slave traders, and it was from their dwarven tribe that Saruh came to Middle-earth.
"Take it easy, dwarven brother," said his brother Harry, who seemed to be more sensible, soothed the irascible dwarf, "We are not your enemies"
"It's not too late to determine the location of the demon in the battle plan," Joe said, "Doesn't anyone want to taste the wine of Roa?"
The dwarf's eyes lit up when he heard the wine, and the two Harry brothers also looked inattentive, and Barr wanted to make everyone more vigilant but didn't know what to say, and was about to discuss with Roshi, but Roshi had already returned to the room first.
So what should have been a tense and cautious mission to slay the demon Buddha turned into an ordinary trip, and this relaxed mood lasted until about eleven o'clock in the evening, when everyone stayed in their respective rooms.
"Ahh
In the dead of night, a miserable scream suddenly came from the hallway, and this familiar voice was none other than the knight, Joe!
