An excuse to go somewhere new

Come to think of it, I never did accomplish my original goal—finding test subjects I could experiment on guilt-free.

So I'm thinking, maybe if we go to a different country, bandits might come attack us? Public safety has been way too good around here. I don't think it was this peaceful when I first arrived, but when I actually go looking for trouble, I can't find any.

Solasidor's completely thug-free these days too… Wait, could that be because of my little thug-hunting spree? Nah. Definitely not.

Anyway. I need some kind of excuse to go somewhere new while hiding the fact that my real goal is to get test subjects.

… I can't exactly tell Dea-kun I want shady test subjects.

Hmm, there's gotta be something…

Oh, I've got it!

"We've been to Aishia's homeland and Mashiro-san's homeland, so how about we go to your homeland next, Dea-kun!"

"My… the Elflands, you mean?"

Dea-kun crossed his arms and mulled it over.

"I can't really recommend it."

"Oh? Why not?"

"Well, elves are pretty heavily targeted, so there are elf hunters who sneak into the country. You can't exactly say the security is great."

That's exactly what I was looking for!!

Talk about perfect timing! Man, we should've just gone there from the start!

"Then how about we take out any we run into along the way and help improve security—"

"Dea-ojousama. If you command it, I shall hunt down every last one of these insolent elf hunters myself."

"Huh? Rena, you could actually do that?"

"Gladly, if that is your wish. It would take approximately three days."

"Three days… Hmm. In that case—"

"Wah! Wait, wait, wait!"

I stopped Rena before she could butt in any further. She'd actually do it. No, she would definitely do it.

As a genuine kin of the Chaos God, this maid homunculus has that level of power.

"What's the matter, Karina-sama? Don't tell me it would be inconvenient for you if I wiped out all the elf hunters?"

"That's a bit too much meddling, don't you think? Isn't it enough to just hunt down any we happen to run into?"

"Hah? That's rather soft of you."

Gnrgh! She's absolutely right, but… she's right, but still!!

"I w…"

"You w…?"

"I want to show off in front of Dea-kun too… so, like, I'd be in trouble if you didn't leave some for me, you know?"

"Oh my, my. Ufufu."

Guh… This maid homunculus is absolutely infuriating!!

If you're gonna laugh, at least laugh properly!
