I kept being called incompetent at home, but it seemed super competent globally

"Is this the forest of evil spirits..."

Travel a few hours through the city.

A dim forest appeared before us as we continued to walk northwest through the meadows.

Dark colored leaves with white, bitter trunks reminiscent of white bones.

Unhealthy trees, at any rate, seem to be invaded by anger.

In addition, the roaring sound of a deceased from somewhere doubles his disgust.

"Sometimes evil spirits just get a name. Creepy."

"That's a worse vibe than you were asking. Is it the influence of the Demons?"

"I don't know.... Sieg, can I have Sanctère just in case?

"Yes, I was just about to use it too"

I don't feel uncomfortable with it yet, but I'll use Sanctère just in case.

It's harmful if you smoke it for a long time, even if the concentration is unclear.

When the membrane of holy light covers my body, I feel like I have no heart or the air has freshened up.

"They can go down that road to the hall, let's hurry!

Point to the trail through the trees, says Nino.

Seems like a path built properly by people, with the sesame grass paid for and the ground consolidated.

It looks like the adventurers heading into the back of the woods are still using it there.

"The enemy, too, is probably wary of the path. Don't be too hasty."

"Yep. Be careful if the trap isn't set"

Maybe it's also a pit.

An enemy lurking by the side of the road may even magically shoot at you.

The three of us, with Mr. Nino at the forefront, proceed with caution as we hurry.

"That's it!

When it was about an hour after we started moving on.

Beyond the trees, I could see a little castle-like architecture.

Is that the old museum that was abandoned?

Weathered and missing stone walls are intertwined in multiple ways.

Well, this looks like quite a few years have passed.

At least, it's been hundreds of years since it was built.

"That's a big deal."

"Are you there, Mr. Kurta?"

"Yeah. Detective magic firmly indicates that place"

With the map in hand, Nino answers.

They've come all the way to the woods, so they can see where they are in more detail.

"All right, get ready. There must be a mountain of enemies in that place."

"Yes!"

When I replied so as to regain my temper, we increased our speed towards the hall.

It's closer to a small run than a walk.

But why not?

They say it's been going for a while, but the distance from the hall hasn't diminished at all.

"That's odd..."

"Mr. Nino, is this your way?

"Definitely. It's the main road to the hall."

"Hmmm...... could that building be an illusion or something"

"Let's try it. Dream breaker!

With that said, Mr. Nino focuses his magic on the eye.

My eyes stained red and something faint but like a shock wave emerged from it.

Is that what you call ninja art in the East?

Sister Ciel told me she existed, but this is the first time I've actually seen it.

"You're not saying we're hallucinating... It doesn't look like they're faking the surrounding landscape."

"Then you simply mean there is still a distance to the hall"

"Probably..."

You're not entirely convinced, Mr. Nino had an attitude that didn't boil off.

But I can't help but stop like this.

We run off again, but we still can't get to the hall.

"Hmmm...... I knew it was weird"

"But you're not hallucinating or anything, are you?

"Yes. If magic is being used, you must have figured it out in earlier detective magic."

"Then why can't we get there?

"... you think there's some work done on the road"

With that said, I once again observed my surroundings very closely.

Any small ones, any clues to the anomaly?

As I turned my eyes like plates, I could see signs of dragging something down the edge of the road.

"Hmm, what's this?

A sign like this led to a tree growing by the side of the road.

Somehow, the tree itself looks like it moved.

No, this could be...!

"Right. Mr. Nino, Mr. Rowga! Take shelter in the middle of the road now!

"To?"

"There's a Trent mixed up in the woods trees! They were moving their way so they couldn't reach the hall!

As soon as I screamed like that, the forest moved to make a seed.

Come on, this is more of a majority than a part of it!

I couldn't help but tongue at the number of trees that showed up and moved out.

"Oh, my God!

"When this happens, run through the woods to the hall!

"Right!

Dive through the approaching Trentos and run to the hall at a glance.

Fortunately, the constant and enemy travel speed of plant-based monsters was quite slow.

It stretches out branches and roots to launch an attack, but it can't be fatal.

"Noah!!

Mr. Rowga blows up the last standing Trents with a shield bash.

All right, we've got a way!

The garden of the hall, which looked beyond the trees.

Surrounded by walls, the three of us rush in at full speed.

And immediately closed the iron gate.

"Phew...!

"You've worked it out"

When I take the wire out of my bag, I tie the door up disappointingly with it, Mr. Nino.

Now we won't have enemies coming in for a while.

Apparently, the Trents don't have the power to just destroy gates and walls.

"Damn, he's a pain in the ass."

"It feels amazing not to let you get in the way."

"Oh, I need to be careful... Yikes!

As I said that, the ground in the garden began to bulge one after the other.

Eventually, from there, a large, black, skinny dog shows up.

Its appearance of rotting all over the body and, by the way, bone stripping showed with certainty that life had already been lost.

"You're a bad hobby watchdog......!

"Oh, this would be better left alone by a pig"

Undead dogs with a different look.

Surrounded by those masses, we couldn't help but stifle our faces.
