"Well, did you make this?

Mr. Louise, who was totally indulgent in the mansion, was having dinner on the same menu as us.

We're eating at the table in the living room, just us party members and Mr. Louise. It's just not sneaky to feed a stranger and family at the same table.

"Yes, but I didn't have much extravaganza to prepare because it was made when I came back from a labyrinth expedition"

Still, the dinner Sylvia made me was a dish sliced into thin slices with pasta in soup and chicken served with a special sauce. Unless it's a special day, this is usually how it goes. I'm satisfied enough as far as I'm concerned.

Sylvia is even more amazing dealing with Mr. Louise's share, which was to come quickly in that.

"Are you guys okay?

Mr. Louise's gaze was firmly directed at Melissa and Iris sitting across the street. I guess I just got worried about the pattern of old knowledge.

"It's okay."

"No problem."

I'm not going to decide the relationship based on whether I can cook anything else.

"I'm relieved we're both doing well, apparently."

Mr. Louise turns a gentle smile.

"Melissa had been in business with adults for a long time, and Illis had a little bit of a hardship because of partying with people her own father and her own age. I was worried that some of my peers would get along with these guys, but that worried me."

"Yes."

"Right."

The reaction between the two of us to Mr. Louise, who worries me, is very faint.

For both of us, Mr. Louise would be grateful to worry because he is like his grandmother, but I guess he also wants to jump.

"Can you tell me what happened more than that?

"Oh, I did. I forgot because the food is so delicious."

The pasta that Mr. Louise had already eaten has been consumed.

Melissa seems to have committed some kind of lapse and remains silent as to whether the matter is embarrassing or not.

"I'm surprised. I was cleaning up my job in my own room in the guild earlier this evening and suddenly Melissa came by. I asked him about it, and he said," I want you to tell me how to get through the lost forest. "

"Well... I thought it would be quickest to talk to the elves if we were going inside them."

An elf, indeed, would know how to get out of a lost forest.

And none other than Mr. Louise when it comes to elves in our acquaintance. I almost know where she is, and maybe I had no reason to hesitate to go and listen to her.

"You can't just come to King's Capital to hear that. So, why don't you make an excuse for stopping by at the request? Such lies can't possibly work."

"Why not?

A superficial request was prepared when he was now called to attack the labyrinth of the King's capital.

It shouldn't be as strange as stopping at Wang Du on a request as it was then.

"Looks like you guys should understand your position. There are quite a few of you who care about trends, including royalty, because of all the things that stand out too much. If there's a request for a nomination to go to the King's Capital, the Adventurer's Guild will have information."

I've gotten a lot of serious hospitality.

Mr. Louise had learned that Melissa had not taken on the request to be able to stop at the King's Capital because of it.

"So, I was wondering how you got to the king's capital, so it seems like you can use space magic while you're asking questions."

"I'm sorry."

Did Melissa only disclose the transfer of the Spatial Magic One?

"Afterwards, I just said hello because I was going to clear up my job and rest for a while for the guys in the guild, and Melissa's transfer made me come as far as Alistair. It's amazingly convenient magic to be able to travel the distance you need for a few days in an instant."

I want to agree with you on convenience.

"But can I teach you how to get out of the lost forest?

"No problem. It's not like I can handle it from what I've taught you, and as for Atashi, I don't know what it's like to teach a buddy who's been close to Melissa that I thought was like a grandson."

"Mr. Louise!

"This guy's been smart for a long time. This time he made the fatal mistake of not having prepared a reason to come to Wang Capital. Why do you think that is?

"Why..."

Isn't that all we were in a hurry for?

I couldn't have prepared the right excuse because of the rush.

"He probably wanted to help you. I can make it to the King's Capital in an instant. I even understood that you had reliable information."

"It's..."

Melissa is blushing without appearing.

I stayed immersed in my meal.

"So, about the lost forest,"

"Please"

"There is no specific way to attack."

"Huh?"

The method of attack does not even exist in the elves.

But Mr. Louise spoke out about the nature of the lost forest.

"You know there's a tree in the elf called the Divine Tree. That big tree has the ability to purify a wide enough range of environments to be easily covered by the perimeter - about one minute of the country. But at the same time as the purification, it spreads special energy around the perimeter. Atashi and Elves call it divinity about energy that is different in nature from magic. It is the forest of stray that has gathered the trees that grew up absorbing its divinity."

Trees in the lost forest are constantly releasing faint divinity from the tree itself, and faint divinity drives the senses of the organism crazy. In the case of humans, he said, the sense of direction drives him crazy, and at the end of the day, he even loses sight of the existence of himself.

Natural maze by divinity - that's the nature of the lost forest.

The only one who can escape through that forest is an elf that has adapted and evolved in the same way to divinity.

"Atashi and Elves can take divinity into their bodies. That doesn't make it difficult to get old in shape, nor does it make you feel like you're driving your sense of direction crazy in a lost forest. The strategy is simple. Head inside the elves with a sea urchin who never gets lost in the woods. That's all."

It's a very simple way to ask.

Prepare a road guide to follow the guide.

"Is it okay that way?

"No problem. I've guided humans in the same way in the past."

If you already have a track record, it doesn't seem like a problem.

"But that's a normal story. If there are any anomalies in the forest, or in the Divine Tree, even the Elves may get lost in the forest."

"Apparently, don't you see?

"I don't know exactly because Atashi also asked people about it, but before Atashi was born - more than a hundred years ago now, the Divine Tree has come to the anomaly, and at that time, even the elves can no longer get out of the woods because they get lost in the woods"

Nevertheless, such anomalies were also calm by the time six months had passed, and the trade was to resume again, he said.

It is not necessarily possible to escape in the same way as usual in the case where similar abnormalities have occurred this time.

However, if you just can't get out, you can come back with a metastasis.

I just hope it's not a fatal anomaly if I can.
