Chapter 138: “The Oracle”
Hakuma and Ginka were sent to the Liebe Forest. Currently, Queen Vespoid has taken over after Sugaru, using ants to manage the farm. There are also Queen Beetle and Queen Arachnea, and they help with training and forest management.
Similar training is also being conducted in the Teur Forest, where there are several queen-class entities. Considering the vastness and difficulty level, these forests are quite powerful.
“The beetles have higher heat resistance than ants. Even if they can’t enter the volcano, they should be able to manage the forest at its base. If there’s a Queen Beetle who has completed training in Liebe, let’s dispatch her.”
Leaving Hakuma and the others in Liebe might be excessive in terms of strength, but there are currently no other tasks, and it’s acceptable to leave them as a precautionary force for any future events.
The kids are accompanying Queen Vespoid’s training, playing pretend shepherds on the farm. Disobedience has decreased significantly, and recently, they seem eager to be helpful and offer assistance. It seems they are growing well.
Once Queen Beetle, who has completed training, was sent to the forest near the volcano – though it’s unnamed on the map, so it might be okay to give it a name – to establish a nest, increase her subordinates, and manage the forest.
Next, they stopped by La Colinne to check the situation.
<Everything is going smoothly, boss.>
There is no longer any impression of a hill of rubble. It has grown into a fantastical forest where greenery and ruins harmonize. Occasionally, giant insects fly in the sky. They don’t resemble beetles, ants, or spiders, what could they be?
