n entrance, at Veil’s mountain dungeon entrance, at the bathhouse entrance, and the one just outside our farm.

Currently, there are four of them.

What was the point of saying that it would be better not to increase waypoints for security reasons?
At the end of it all, they succumbed to the temptation of its convenience.

“We’ve taken security precautions,” says Veil.

Why are you the one telling me this?

“Because I built the security traps along with the pseudo-corpse and the earth spirits.”

A magic trap created by the Dragon and the Immortal King?
Why does that sound like it could even kill the gods?!

“It surrounds the waypoints in a ten-step radius and is only triggered when someone exits it.”
“O-Okay…”
“It won’t be triggered if you have the Talisman of Recognition that I made, so the residents won’t fall for it by accident.
I’ve already distributed it to everyone.”
“But I didn’t get one.”
“If you lose your talisman, you can still exit it while chanting a special incantation.
I’ve already taught this to everyone on the farm.”
“But I wasn’t taught that.”
“If an intruder tries to exit the waypoint without the talisman or chanting the incantation, an evil earth spirit will come out and drag them underground.
They’ll be stuck there until either I or the pseudo-corpse drag them out.”
“Scary!”

I can at least tell it’s not life-threatening, but the idea of being buried underground not knowing when you’ll be freed is off-putting…

The waypoint is an encoded system where you need to know the set coordinate codes for each to be able to use it.
However, lawbreakers such as those who can crack the password and enter a foreign waypoint are present in every world, so I guess we need this as a precautionary measure now that we’ve increased them.

Of course, we’ve been taking such precautions since our first waypoint.

Now…
What exactly was I doing again?

“Lord Saint…”
“Ahh! You spooked me!!!”

Belena!
Why are you concealing your presence? You could’ve stood next to me and I wouldn’t have noticed!

“Hello… Sorry to disappoint, but I’m Belena of the demon duo and not Batemy…”
“What’s up with your greeting?!”

Speaking of which!
The very first job entrusted to her was the waypoints’ management!

She was supposed to check them every day for any abnormalities!

Now, however, the number of waypoints has increased with booby traps installed under Veil’s initiative.

“Oh, I’ve modified them so that any anomalies will automatically trigger a notification to me, so don’t worry.
The earth spirits also said that they will take care of the cleaning.”

Veil.
Those words of yours are enough to break Belena’s heart into tiny little pieces and make her delirious.

“I… I… I… I put all of my talents into mastering the high-level teleportation magic and used that to climb the ladder of success in the Demon King’s army… I even became a Heavenly One’s aide…”

Ah, I do remember her saying that once.

“But now, everyone can cast the very same magic I monopolized for a long time… My value to society only keeps on decreasing! My miserable raison d’être!!!”

Then, Belena starts crying boohoo.

I’ve been feigning ignorance this entire time…
Simply because it’s too troublesome for me to handle.

But it seems the time has finally come to have a serious discussion with Belena.
