A few days before I, Luna Maria, and a group of sword braves entered the forest, a conspiracy was taking place in a mansion in the city of Northwood.
This was a magnificent building on the main street, but strangely dismal is probably due to the dark interior and the participants.
They were all villains, and were hardened by people who could easily draw novels.
The building was the headquarters of Gard & Co., and here was its meeting room, gathering the heads and executives of Gard & Co.
One of his men reports the failure of Karen's abduction and the assassination of Victor.
A fat man beats a wine glass on the floor while clenching his teeth.
There was a bang. The maid changes her complexion and begins to clean up, but the fat man tells the maid, "I'll do that later!"
His name is Bonan Gardo. He was the head of Gardo Shokai, but was short-lived and crude as it appeared.
He seems to be angry that the campaign to destroy the Anaheim Chamber has failed.
"How bad are you, you can't kidnap your daughter alone? You've hired a great mercenary."
"Everything has been pushed down into the river."
"Then, what happened to the daughter of the fox family? I've been trained three months ago."
"It was also discovered. The same boy saved his daughter and his father."
"It does something extra. What's the kid's name?"
"It sounds like Will."
"Will? Is it a brave to defeat that mercenary?"
"I'm not sure, but the boy is now heading for the lost forest."
"It's a lost forest?"
Gardo remembers the existence of the holy sword by the place name and slightly distorts his expression.
"... Are you a hero? Even if it's still awkward, if you get the holy sword, you may be in vain.
Gardo then orders his men to dispatch mercenaries.
"Haha" is immediately arranged, but he remembers the order of the other day.
"Speaking of Karen Anaheim, she seems to be in a villa on the outskirts of Northwood. She is guarded by heavily armed soldiers."
"Did you realize that your home was not a safe haven, and evacuated it? Victor, clever"
When I say something, she leaks a villain-like smile.
"But it might be convenient to be in the suburbs."
"Security is strict"
"No matter how strict the security is, there are limits as long as humans keep it. And I have this one I got the other day."
Gardo shows off his ideas.
When they hear the idea, they feel scared at the same time as a sigh of praise.
He wondered how brutal and cunning he was. Such a measure cannot be thought of by ordinary people.
Indeed, he was a man who built Gard Shokai in his first generation.
Once again paying homage to the Lord's virtuosity, his men began to work on his tricks.
We go through the forest without knowing that such a plot is being made in the city.
This forest is known as a lost forest, which is naturally complicated and strange. It's like a maze.
I put out a compass, but it turns as it turns.
"It's awkward. It may be difficult to find the holy sword."
"Don't say the bearish"
Lunamaria reproaches me.
"I'll do my best to find it, but how do the sword heroes go to the center?"
Their strategy is unknown because they are walking on separate roads.
"I don't seem to think anything, so I'm going to go straight ahead. It's surprising that I can get to the center sooner."
And Luna Maria leaks irony.
We feel like we're thinking too much and we're in a crucible.
I just saw the same scene from a while ago.
I was going to be in distress as it was.
No, have you already been in distress?
We didn't know where we were or where we were going.
It was distressed as it was, and it seemed to be a white bone corpse, but with such an ominous imagination, there was a sound from the front.
The sound of something running. And they are wearing armor.
"... I don't think they're brave. They walk more wildly than they do."
When I say so, Luna Maria nods.
"It looks like you're chasing someone."
Luna Maria's hearing is better than me.
That guess would be correct.
I say she turns around.
"I came down to the lower bound and found two things."
"What is it?"
"One is that the common sense of Gods is insane of the world."
There is a real feeling, Lunamaria laughs with a smile.
"The other thing is that if someone is being chased, that person is definitely a good man and the one who is chasing is a villain."
Luna Maria hears the words and laughs.
Sure, it was the pattern every time.
Promises may be the truth of this world.
I decided to run and discipline the villain who was supposed to be ahead.
