It uses a purely physical attack method, similar to the man-eating tree.
"First Layer: Rashomon"
A mud wall rose up from the ground, blocking his way, however...
There was no sound of the so-called "deceptive flower" attack hitting Rashomon and making a loud noise.
"What happened?"
It was completely different from what I expected. Even if the attack from the deceitful flower wasn't enough to shatter Rashomon, at least there was some movement.
There were no other sounds or signs of danger coming from the surroundings, and for a moment, they dared not rashly dispel the Rashomon. This stalemate could not continue indefinitely.
"..."
Sensing that there was indeed no magical fluctuation around me, I stepped back, creating more than two spaces between myself, and peered behind Rashomon.
"ha……!"
However, there were no more tricks or flowers to be found; behind Rashomon, all was quiet, not even a mosquito in sight.
It seems that the immense magical power that erupted from my body when I cast Rashomon was detected by Pseudoflower. Knowing that I was not someone to be trifled with, it immediately fled.
"..."
Therefore, I really hate dealing with plant-type monsters.
He looks intimidating, but he's just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. What a waste of his D-rank monster rating.
He sighed helplessly. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have just used a big fireball to end the battle. Now, it would be almost impossible to find the escaped Deceitful Flower.
rumble……
I dispelled the Rashomon and then headed deeper into the area, marking the tree trunks with wind magic along the way to avoid getting lost.
After all, there are no prominent landmarks in such a forest, and getting lost would be a real problem.

Noon arrived quickly, and a dusty-faced boy appeared on the main road, his teeth clenched in anger.
Helplessly, he untied the ropes and then steered the carriage toward Kylorans.
Yes, that boy is me.
After a busy morning, I still couldn't catch a single Deceptive Flower. At that moment, I finally understood why a Deceptive Flower with a D-rank status had a commission level of C.
Let's not even consider the possibility of encountering a scammer...
Even if you encounter them, as long as you gather a little bit of magic power, even using basic magic, as long as you trick the flowers into noticing, they will burrow underground, and it will be impossible to find them again.
Besides, encountering even one or two of these "deceptive flowers" is a matter of fate; trying to capture them without using magic is simply too much to ask of a magician.
The suggestion on the order form to have the team carry out this task is not entirely without reason.
My great mood was completely ruined by this damned liar, who's even more cunning than a sly fox.
"I'll never accept a request from a plant-type monster again."
This is really a huge headache...
This kind of battle of wits is just not for me. Not only did I fail to catch a single cheat flower, but I also got completely humiliated.
After parking the carriage at the stable, I returned to the inn. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Lilith staring at me with a suspicious look.
"Huh? Leon? What have you been doing? Why do you look like that?"
"Don't even mention it..."
Women's gossip instincts truly transcend race. Looking at her eyes, which seem to crave drama, I'm not going to tell her about how I got humiliated by the con artist.
"Don't be like this... Tell me, who made a dignified King-level mage so miserable? I'll avenge you..."
"..."
She clearly wanted to know the reason and was trying to trick me into revealing information. Her thoughts were written all over her face. Did she really think she could fool me like a three-year-old?
"nothing……"
I ignored Lilith and turned to go into the bathroom.
"Leon... tell me... I really will avenge you."
Lilith's voice came through the crack in the door. She opened her right hand, and water flowed into the wooden basin as she gathered magic power.
Splash splash splash...
In short, filter out her voice as much as possible.
"I can't hear anything... I can't hear anything at all..."
Using water magic, they filled the wooden tub and then washed away their disheveled state...
However, things didn't go as planned, and Lilith eventually found out that I had been tricked by the flower.
A simple inquiry at the guild reception desk will reveal what commission I'm currently undertaking.
Upon learning that the request concerned the Scam Flower, she immediately imagined the scene of me being tricked by it, since she knew very well that I was not good at dealing with plant-type monsters.
And what's more, it's such a cunning monster...
~~~
Time flies by quickly; the sun rises and sets, and the bright world is plunged into a brief period of darkness.
Lilith invited me to the guild for drinks, saying she wanted to properly introduce me to Lilith Prusena, her older sister.
Of course, I refused. To be honest, it's already quite an achievement to be able to support one Lilith. If another Lilith Prusena comes along, who could handle it?
Furthermore, the two Liliths are exactly the same in appearance, figure, and voice, which gives me a bad feeling.
Although having two women on either side isn't entirely unacceptable...
"No, no, no... I already have Anna..."
I mustn't do anything to hurt Anna!
Furthermore, Lilith plays a role similar to an older sister; the idea of adding her to a harem is best left unsaid...
After rejecting Lilith, I plan to wander around for a while; it would be too early to go back to the hotel to sleep now.
The night view of Kylorans is relatively nice, although many shops have already closed. However, the brightly lit atmosphere is still quite pleasant.
~~~
at the same time……
Inside the Royal Palace of Kylorans, in a magnificent-looking room, a man lay on the bed.
There were several other people standing around her. Besides Olivia and Princess Nishino, the other two were servants.
It was clear that Princess Nishino had been crying for a long time; tear stains were still visible on her face, suggesting that the man in the bed was someone very important to her.
Olivia kept comforting her, her face looking quite haggard, seemingly because of the man...
At this point, the focus shifted to the man.
His unruly face made him look like he was only in his early twenties, but at this moment, he appeared very serene.
It's like being in a deep sleep, having some incredible, beautiful dream.
The man was Princess Nishinoru's fiancé, the sixth prince of Kylorans.
Alisa Rand Krogh.
Upon closer inspection, his exposed skin was grayish-white, as if something had solidified on it.
At that moment, another person suddenly entered the room. Judging from his attire, he should be a magician.
She glanced at the man on the bed, and a look of disbelief and helplessness crossed her face.
"This...this is...the Stone Disease! Ugh..."
The magician shook his head, indicating that he was also unable to cure such a condition.
Upon hearing this, Princess Nishino Lu felt despair once again and lay on the bed, sobbing.
