The sound of Almark and Morgan walking through the forest echoed loudly.
The forest has been quiet since Morgan defeated the giant mushroom monster.
There is hardly any scratching of the leaves, and the occasional birds singing overhead.
"Two pie ingredients that Green Verde told me to collect."
After walking silently for a while, Almark said so and looked at Morgan.
"It was yukima smelt nectar and fawnberry fruit." I'm a name I've never heard of, but how about you? "
"It's the first name I've ever heard of."
Morgan answers.
"The plants in this forest are the first to be seen by everyone."
Sure is.
Almark nodded.
Well then, do you remember what it tasted like?
Yeah. Sort of.
Morgan nodded and looked at Almark.
"And you?"
"I don't remember, do I?"
Almark shrugged his shoulders.
"I'll take care of the flavor." I'll leave it to you. "
Well, in your case, yes.
Morgan smiles bitterly.
"Most of the berries in that pie were full berries. You know it, Full Berry."
“Yeah, I know that much.”
Almark nodded.
"It's a berry full of small purple fruits."
“Yes, the sweetness of the berries makes it a great place to put them in the pie.”
That's what Morgan said as he looked around the surrounding bush.
"The pie just now had a refreshing acidity mixed with the sweetness of full berries. It was delicious again, but I think it's the fruit of Fawnbury.”
It's sour.
Almark clenched the nearby bush with Mars' staff.
"What about the colors?"
"I didn't see the color very well, did I?"
Morgan says with a heartfelt pity.
“I'm obsessed with eating pies. I can't believe they asked me to look for it. It's been my whole life."
"I don't think you'll be unaware for the rest of your life."
Almark smiled and then frowned in embarrassment.
"But I don't think my favorite Morgan saw it." I didn't even see it, and I don't have any leads. "
Saying that, I raised my face and looked around the forest.
"Looking for berries you've never seen in such a wide forest?" No matter how much time you have, you don't have enough, do you? "
"It's not like I don't have any leads."
Huh?
In the unexpectedly powerful words of Morgaine, Almark saw his face.
"Because I didn't even see the color earlier."
"I didn't see the color."
Morgen admitted.
"But I knew the size in my mouth." It was about a grain bigger than full berries. "
That's why you're so obsessed with eating, you know that well
Well, yeah.
Morgan stretches his chest.
"Eating in love means concentrating all your nerves in your mouth." That's why even if I had a sloppy face when I was eating something delicious, it couldn't be helped. Because there's no nerves in there. "
"I didn't say that."
Almark smiles bitterly.
"But you know how big it is." Is there anything else? "
That's right.
Morgan puts his index finger on his puffy cheek.
“Most berries grow in the sun. That's why I don't think Fawnbury would have grown in such a gloomy forest."
I see.
Almark nodded in admiration.
Well then, let's start by looking for a place with fewer trees.
That's what Morgan smiles at when he stops Almark from running.
"Well, don't panic. The Dark Forest is a dark forest, and I have work to do."
Huh?
Morgan confidently tells Almark with a dazzling face.
"Look for the other ingredient."
"Ah. Yukimaisumi's nectar, huh?"
Almark looked at Morgan with a vague expression on his face.
"What's a yukima smokey?"
"Come on."
Morgan shook his head, too.
"Like I said, it's a name I've never heard of."
Then you don't know where it is after all.
But...
Morgan smiles.
I can imagine it somehow.
"That's right. What kind of imagination is that?"
Almark's eyes suddenly sharpened as he laughed back and was turned behind Morgaine. Morgan looked back, too.
Wow.
and screamed.
"Something strange has come again."
It emerged from the bushes as a plant with a thick green stem. From the stem, which extends straight from the ground, hangs a fruit like a large fishing bell.
The plants, like the giant mushrooms, had no legs, and they approached Almark.
"Why do all the plants in this forest move?"
Morgan holds his staff as he rushes away.
"I'll hang up."
Almark poked out his wand before Morgan could use his magic.
The wind that blew up slashed the fruit like a fishing bell.
"Oh, Almark, maybe it's not that way."
It was already too late when Morgaine spoke up.
The lower half of the cut fruit fell to the ground. From the cut plane of the upper half of the hanging fruit to the fruit of the lower half of the ground, the spineless liquid draws threads.
And there fell upon the ground what seemed to be bumps and countless rounded seeds.
”Ughhhh”
Morgan frowned and backed away.
"It's a bug."
As the saying goes, at first they looked like seeds, and all of them were little bugs.
The bugs stacked high on the corner of the ground, spreading their wings at once.
Wow, you're flying?
Morgan screams.
The feathers flew toward the Morgans, pulling a gleaming thread.
"Morgan, fire."
Almark shouts and waves his cane.
The flames erupting from the wand burned the flying insects immediately.
Every time the insect is burned by the flame, the pale smoke rises and a strange smell emerges.
"Oh, it stinks."
While saying that, Morgan stuck out his staff and burned the bugs that were coming towards him.
But from the cut surface of the fruit, there still fall insects like birds and seeds.
"We need to crush that fruit."
Almark screamed and released an arrow of light.
The arrow struck through the connecting part between the stem and the fruit.
The upper half of the fruit also fell to the ground, and from the cut surface of the stem, something like honey drooped.
I don't think so.
Almark looks back at Morgan.
"Yukima Smelt Nectar"
"I'm not kidding."
Morgen shook his head.
"If you eat that kind of food, you'll be eaten by those insects."
As if it were a signal, countless insects flew away from the fruit that fell on the ground again.
"Oh, I'm sick of it already.
With that in mind, Morgan unleashed the magic power in his staff.
A net of light.
The shining net that suddenly appeared from the void, captured the little bugs in the air with a fine mesh, and the fruit rolled on the ground.
Yeah.
When Morgan clenched his fist in front of his chest, the net tightened tightly.
In a flowing motion, Morgan waved his arm.
When the net of light was wrapped in fruit and flew far beyond the bushes, the remaining stems were also burned with flames released by Armark.
When the slime was baked, the smell of smoke rose terribly, and the smell was unusual in combination with the sweet scent that was drifting throughout the forest from the beginning.
"Oh, this is terrible."
Morgan holds down his nose with the sleeve of his robe and shakes his head.
”If you smell this, your head will hurt”
That's right.
Almark nodded.
"Let's get out of here first."
Almark walks out, but leans his neck when he sees that Morgan doesn't follow him.
"What's the matter, Morgan?"
Almark said.
"Let's get out of this smelly place."
Yeah, I don't want to do that, though.
When Morgan said that, he lowered his arms and looked at Almark.
"I've been meaning to ask you that for a long time."
Huh?
Almark frowns.
"For me? What?"
Yeah. You know what?
Morgan raised his staff towards Almark.
"Who the hell are you?"
