Bab 612: Preparations

-----

As we enjoyed the meal and relaxed, everyone seemed to be praising each other for their efforts, but I had to sadly bring rather bad news. Well, bad for these lazy nobles, although they're quite convenient for my party.

"Anyways, going back to the main topic. Although I am happy we've managed to clean this area of monsters and congratulate you as your performance has improved greatly, there are news I should tell you right away." I said with a serious tone of voice.

Everyone's cheerful chatting immediately went silent.

"W-What is it now?" Clarice sighed, looking at me as if knowing I'll say something bad.

"My familiars recently scouted the Demon Tribes and found one of the farther Tribes completely empty. The reason? The demons of that tribe moved to the tribe closer to us, they're being led by a group of mysterious black coated people. They're probably demon cultists." I said.

"E H?!"

Everyone quickly was so shocked they all screamed at the same time.
