Really, what are they...?

I'm scared!

But, well, because people who have received the same education and lived with them for many years say that, the decision is at least closer to Lucy's idea than that of me or Reiko.

Apart from whether or not it is logically correct, as a 'choice Lucy can take'....

"... okay. Let's change course a little to the left."

Tell Hang and Bud to change course a little.

We have a compass of compass magnets so we don't lose direction in the forest.... of course, the one with the potion.

I was worried about how Lucy would check the orientation and asked Meine if there were any sun, stars, tree cuttings, or some other way...

It seems that the way to see the annual ring of stumps is inaccurate because of the terrain and the surrounding situation, but it seems that if you add that and analyze it, it is "better than nothing". The first director taught me...

No, so who was the first director of the orphanage?!

"Please stop!

Ellie, who was on Bud's back and staring forward, suddenly shouted at him to stop.

Hang and Bud stopped with Ellie's voice without me telling them because they didn't understand human language, but they had enough ability to make an approximate judgment from the situation.

"The branches of that tree are unnaturally broken. For relatively small animals, the position is high. Conversely, if you are a large animal, you should leave a clearer trail.

So, very recently... it could be a trace of a longitudinal animal that passed in the last few days, that is, a bipedal animal that is not so large... for example, a human child... "

"Teeeeeeee!

After all, it's the same hole.

Using Bad as the lead for Irie, he followed the traces left on the twigs and grass for a while....

"Ah, it's turning this way..."

As I can see, there were signs of vandalism. So that's what I said...

"It's a deliberate dummy. It's too obvious, right? The real path is this way. There are only a few traces left behind."

"What the hell...?"

Do it yourself, Omaera! We'll keep quiet!!

"... there's no trace. Apparently, did you move through the trees, or did you make high foot walking gear out of trees and vines...."

Yes, yes...

I'm getting used to it.

"Kaol, did the" Goddess's Eye "people look like this?

"Nnawake up!

I answered Reiko's question immediately.

(I said "Goddess's Eye"....)

(You said "Goddess's Eye"....)

"Hmm? Meine, Aral, did you say something?

"No, nothing!

I was talking about something, but I think I'll keep it a secret. It is natural for employees to complain about their complainants and employers, and that is necessary for gas extraction.

... let's hope it's not too bad...

"Irie, do you have any trace of Lucy's pursuit?

Yes, beasts and beasts are dangerous, but the most dangerous thing for Lucy is humans... stalkers.

Beasts and beasts will not be a problem until they are locked on as prey. But the tracker is locked on from the beginning, relentlessly chasing and attacking.

"For now, there's no sign of it.

If more than one adult crosses the forest without worrying about leaving a trail, it will leave a clear trail.

However, just saying 'there's no trace of Lucy's trail at this point,' I don't know if I've gone on another course and encountered Lucy or any trace of the route. "

He's really 10 years old!

But we have to catch up...

"But maybe it's okay."

Huh?

"Nobody goes into the woods looking for a seven-year-old.

I don't suppose you hired a regular hunter because you don't care about life or death. And mercenaries can't even get a request like this. That means you can't be a soldier, a mercenary, or a hunter.

Then you won't be able to search the woods for days without know-how or equipment. That's why you're supposed to be looking around the streets.

And even if you go into the woods, if you make a rough noise or walk around talking to each other, Lucy will notice it first.

If a seven-year-old was round and lurking in the shade of grass and trees, that would not be the way to find him. "

Meine and Fria nodded to Irie's words.

…………

I can't speak, me and Reiko.

Then, you don't understand the story, and you're healed by a gloomy Aral.

Well, she wasn't from that orphanage! He's from "this side." Okay, okay...

As I stroked your head, Aral smiled happily.

Hmm, kawaaaahhh...

The order of riding the hang is Meine, Aral, and me from the front, so you can stroke all you want.

... something, Meine is staring back at me and Allergan...

My neck and hips hurt, so don't put yourself in such an impossible position...

Are you worried that Aral's sister might lose her role?

No, I have to go further than that...

Then, in a place where the trees were sparse, the carriage and the tent were put out and the night shift took place.

Reclining the seats would make it a comfortable bed, but no matter how many children there were, the reclining seat was just a god's tank (Mercava) so the six people were a little harsh, so Panzer was also released. And a large tent for meals.

Of course, the tent is still assembled, so I just put it out. Do not dig drains or punch pegs into the ground to secure them when sleeping. It's just for a meal and a little reunion.

Hang and Bud had their leaves first.

A healing potion mixed with wheat, legumes, hay, and more. All-you-can-eat dessert with apples, corn, carrots and sugar.

It seems that if you eat too much sweet food, you will become diabetic, but you won't have to worry about illness while you're with me.

Then, serve the cooking table and utensils, water tank and ingredients, and start cooking.

Because it's in the woods, to prevent fire, to prevent monsters from approaching by smell, and in case of a "chaser's presence", cooking doesn't use fire... that is, doesn't bake or cook, it's simple.

There is no one to be surprised at this level, as we have been camping many nights since we recovered Irie and Fria.

Both of us, like Mine and Aral, have been told that we are "wizards", so there is no problem.

I narrowed the time gap in the streets from the city to the forest, and even after entering the forest, it should be going much faster than Lucy, so maybe we can catch up tomorrow if it works.

Anyway, let a seven-year-old girl spend the night alone in a place like this for the last time today. That is our desire and our duty.

And sleeping is at the request of the orphanage Trio, in the tank of God (Mercava) three people: Mine, Ily, and Fria. Panzer, me, Reiko, and Aral.

I don't know what the balance is, but maybe there's something I'd like to talk about in a girls' club or just in an orphanage.

I know this is a split between four kids and two of us, but if you can get Aral over here, neither I nor Reiko will complain!

All right, I'll let Aral, who is always attached to Mine, arrange Japanese yoga for this world...

"... so you may be suspicious about everything, but Kaoru-sama and Reiko are called 'wizards'. Don't tell the goddess or the messenger, even if you're wrong!

Kokukoku!

In God's tank (Mercava), Mine explained something to Irie and Fria.

"The temporary setting of 'Wizard' is only for our Little Silver employees. Externally, some nobleman or rich euphoria lady from a serious family who hires orphans in the building of the former orphanage he bought....."

Kokukoku!

"Now, once we've recovered Lucy, let's all dedicate our allegiance to Kaoru and Reiko, and let's all teach Aral everything we learned from our first director (daddy) to grow up nicely and grasp happiness!

Ooh!!

At that time, at Panzer, Aral, who didn't know what was waiting for him, asked Cao and Reiko to take care of him and laughed at him with joy....
