"Where are they?"
"Those two adventurers I saw yesterday!"
The next day, the blonde girl named Darkness entered the Adventurers Guild.
She looked around, wanting to find Bai Luo and Egui Peng, whom she had met yesterday evening. However, after a thorough search, Darkness found no trace of the two.
"They're not here?"
"Did they go on a quest?"
Thinking this, Darkness walked up to Luna and asked about Bai Luo.
In the Konosuba World, asking about adventurers was not considered offensive.
Again, there wasn't that much scheming here.
"Are you referring to Mr. Bai Luo and his familiar, Egui Peng?"
"Bai Luo? What a strange name."
Darkness repeated Bai Luo's name a few times, then asked: "Um, I'd like to join their party. Could you please keep an eye on Mr. Bai Luo's movements for me?"
"I can, but wouldn't posting a notice be faster?"
"I'll post a notice too."
Just thinking about Bai Luo and Egui Peng's sticky appearance, Darkness couldn't help but tremble all over.
The girl unconsciously clamped her legs together, and her pale face flushed with an unusual blush due to certain fantasies.
"Uh...."
Seeing Darkness's strange reaction, Luna hesitated, unsure whether to tell Bai Luo about this.
"Alright."
Luna: "Next time I see Mr. Bai Luo, I'll pass on your message."
However, Luna and Darkness didn't know that Bai Luo had already left the Konosuba World at this time.
As for whether to accept Darkness and let this masochistic Crusader become a member of the party.
This was a question Bai Luo would only need to consider after his return.
—Cardinal World—
"Boneh!"
Two figures appeared on the grassy slope; it was Bai Luo and Egui Peng, who had just returned from the Konosuba World.

"The Mage profession should be the product of integrating all Konosuba magic."
"Among the intrinsic abilities, there are also many mastery-level melee abilities."
Besides this, Bai Luo also gained a Unique Skill called 'Learner'.
'Can learn others' general skills and intrinsic abilities.'
Skills in the Cardinal World can be divided into four levels: general skills, intrinsic skills, extra skills, and Unique Skills.
Above these are the ultimate abilities that only a True Demon Lord might awaken.
"According to the rules of this world, only beings with special souls can obtain Unique Skills."
In the original work, there was an example of Shogo, summoned from another world, who, by killing a girl named Hoshino, used her soul as a sacrifice to obtain a Unique Skill.
A special soul from another world was required to exchange for a Unique Skill.
This shows the rarity of Unique Skills.
Even Meng Wang, at first, only had two Unique Skills: Great Sage and Predator.
"This trip to the Konosuba World was a huge gain."
In just one day, to obtain so many benefits, Bai Luo increasingly felt the power of the Broken-ranked Traveler.
Just as Bai Luo was immersed in the changes on his status panel, Egui Peng's cry of surprise interrupted his thoughts.
"Bai Luo!!"
"Hmm?"
Following Egui Peng's gaze, Bai Luo's pupils constricted slightly: "This is?"
"O-our camp!!"
Looking at the mess before them, especially the camp that should have been basically constructed but was now just ruins, Egui Peng, who had no idea what had happened, was completely stunned.
"Who did this?"
Peng Peng was a bit angry.
Even though the camp was very crude, Bai Luo had built it little by little.
It was their hard work.
"The guy who ruined Bai Luo's sweat…"
Egui Peng just wanted to summon her thorn vine stick and give the other party a good beating.
"Calm down."
Bai Luo comforted the angry Egui Peng, and the two cautiously went forward to investigate.
"These traces should have been left by some kind of large insect."
Bai Luo crouched down, noticing the footprints left on the mud: "Did that Insect Monster's companions come looking for us?"
Indeed, the smell of that Insect Monster still lingered in the air.
There was no mistake, it was them.
"Damn it!"
"Peng Peng hates big bugs!"
Egui Peng felt very frustrated, but even more so, she felt heartache for the camp that had been so difficult to build.
"Alright, don't be angry."
Bai Luo smiled and stroked the little one's head, comforting her: "At least we avoided the Insect Monster's attack, didn't we?"
"And this incident also gave us a warning."
Bai Luo said: "This place is not safe."
"Then what should we do?"
"Either change locations and look for a new camp," Bai Luo said, "or we have to find the bugs' lair and nip them in the bud!"
How can others snore where one sleeps?
If it were intelligent demons capable of communication next to their camp, Bai Luo, not being a bloodthirsty person, would be happy to communicate well with them and coexist peacefully.
But these Insect Monsters, regardless of whether they had brains, simply had no intention of communicating with Bai Luo.
Right from the start, the multi-legged Spider Bug treated the two of them as food.
The subsequent attacks were even more so, clearly aiming to devour Bai Luo and Egui Peng.
Since that was the case, Bai Luo would not hold back.
Either he didn't act, or when he did, he had to eradicate them completely, leaving no one behind!
