"There's still a half day's journey left." Marvin paused for a moment, then replied.
"A half day's journey, and Hope Village's mercenary teams turn up here to hunt demon beasts." Earl Orkot snorted.
Is the other side taking advantage of their territory?
Marvin: "..."
—Yeah! Isn't Hope Village totally taking advantage of Bengala Town's territory? Why didn't I realize it just now?
Suddenly he remembered how obsessed Hope Village's professionals are with upgrading. There aren't even any demon beasts left around Hope Village anymore.
Turns out, the intermediate demon beasts that showed up after Hope Village's promotion weren't enough for them, so they've set their sights on his territory—and they just got caught by their lord.
Thinking this, Marvin still replied, "Hope Village's professionals are quite...competitive! The demon beasts within their territory probably can't support all their professionals."
"Earl, do we need our soldiers to stop them?" Multa spoke up and asked.
