"Even so, how can we solve the problem? I'd like to clarify that. Our victory terms..."

Hal puts his hand on his chin and thinks in.

"You can't just go to Central University Forest and resign the witch... can you?

"Um, I don't think so. I've already been recommended by my clan to be a witch candidate, so I don't think resignation will make sense."

Emili answers with a troubled look, thinking about the feasibility of Lunaria's proposal.

"Running away might bring a chaser. Then, as a witch candidate, I'll have to participate in an election race or something...... by the way, how does a witch decide?

"Um, first I heard there were nearly ten candidates. It was like that candidate would try some trials and take the last one just for those who got over it...?

Emili, who speaks that way as I recall, also only grasped roughly, and did not know the contents of the trial itself.

"So what happens when you get past that trial?

With a serious look, Hal goes on to ask questions.

"Sure, only one person can get over it, and that person will be certified as the next Great Forest witch."

"Then is it best to fall off on the way? Is it okay to lose on purpose?

Emili nods at Hal's inquiry.

Both Hal and Emili thought it was an easy escape to understand that losing the vote on merit was what was around them.

"Then the first priority is to safely head to the Central Great Forest."

Lunaria said with a strange face. The goal set seemed to tighten my mind.

The three of them took a bath in the water, ate a meal that they had made of each other, cried together, and knew each other one step in depth.

However, the situation is that he is being chased by the village chiefs.

The Central Great Forest is said to have a tree called a giant spiritual tree. At its foot flourishes the cities of the elves.

In addition to the village chiefs on the road leading up to it, they may also be targeted by other clans.

Therefore, it will be a priority to 'safely'.

"You may not like it, but let Emily wear a hood and cover her face as much as possible. And put a wind barrier up against the carriage to take a defensive stance. I don't care if they're after the wheels or the body."

Both Lunaria and Emili are nodding at Hal's suggestion.

"If it's a battle, I'll fight the main battle. Emili puts herself first, and Lunaria asks for cover and defense. If it's a magical battle or a riot, I can defend myself. But you two are safer together. If you have an enemy that comes near you, Emily punches him in the face."

Hull's suggestion comes first to protect Emily, but since it leaves a place of activity, there is no particular disagreement and the two snort at this as well.

"Well, then, Mr. Emily, please wear this"

What Lunaria took out was a cape with a hood. When Emily wears it, she hides her face completely.

"Okay. It bothers me, but let's do our best."

With these words alone, Hal and Lunaria were willing to accomplish anything.

"Well, let's take a rest today and leave early in the morning. The wind barrier stays this way. You two get on the carriage and lay down a futon and go to bed. I'll be on fire here for a while before going to bed. Even if soldiers can avoid it, there's a chance the demons will come out."

"What, but..."

It gives Emili a sad look at Hal's words.

It's safer to be together, it's hard not being able to sleep alone, and I'm still sorry that I got into this situation - these things work out in my mind.

"Look, Mr. Emily. Please don't cry if you miss me because I'm with you. You and Mr. Hull will rest later, so you'll be fine. First of all, we need to be able to move when we're low on strength and we need to rest."

Laughing to reassure her, Lunaria pushes Emili's shoulder toward the carriage.

Hal relies on the light of the remaining fire to take care of his weapon when he confirms that the two headed for the carriage.

There may be many battles ahead, in some cases.

I just wanted to avoid falling into a predicament because of inadequate care for my weapons at that time.

"Well, I'll have to go to bed in a while, too."

With that said, Hal looked around lightly when he put out the fire and then went back to the carriage.

The carriage also had a futon for Hal, which allowed him to rest slowly.

The next day, the three of them, who were able to sleep well out of the fatigue of the escape, start moving early.

"So, which is the Central Great Forest?

Hal holding the reins throws such questions at Lunaria and Emili.

"What? Mr. Hal, didn't you understand and you were moving on?

Lunaria was relieved to let the carriage go without Hull saying anything.

"It's okay, it's this way. If you keep going straight through the woods... you'll see the Central Forest ahead."

Emili didn't know the place geographically, but she felt the place where the Spirit Tree was located with a unique sense of elf.

"Okay, that's a relief. If we keep this up, we're gonna make it through the woods."

Hal was relieved because he didn't feel any signs of demons or people from around him.

"I don't think the forest is a problem. But be careful where you leave the woods."

"Yes, what is it?

If you go through the woods, the view will be better, and you won't have to worry about being ambushed. That's what Lunaria had in mind.

"The Central Great Forest is a forest around the central Spirit Tree. It's surrounded by plains and even more by woods."

That's all they say, Hal and Lunaria notice.

"I see, if you wait where you left off the woods, don't you have to chase us around? You do have to be careful with that. If you can see the exit, you can explore the outside a little..."

Even while I said that, the line was slowly approaching the exit.
