"... have we finally arrived"
I went far without going through the woods because I didn't want to encounter the oak, and they took quite a bit of time, and by the time I got to the King's Capital, it was completely evening.
I really just want to go down the original path, but I don't like fighting with my oak and my bare hands, and I can't physiologically touch them.
But the boulders take too much time, and we'll make sure we get through the original path when we can fully use the snails. I'm not too scared if it means I can take them down without touching them from a safe distance.
Besides, we need to be able to use it quickly to prepare for the battle against the Evil Gods faction, and we need to work hard.
"Ah! I finally found it!
I heard a loud voice at the time, so when I turned to the source of that voice, Fall was running toward me.
Fall started breathing on his shoulders with his hands on his knees as he came to my sight.
"Duh, what's up?
"Actually... I want to let you know..."
That's what Fall says with his breath out, so he asked Fall even though he was deeply anxious to see if anything had happened.
"And what do you want to let me know? Why are you so tired..."
"... it's almost time to go home... so I've been running around looking for you..."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that...... sorry"
"It's okay. Never mind."
You're finally breathing, Fall put his posture back on, looked me in the eye and started talking.
"Uh, we talked about the Knights going to Sils Village, didn't we?
"Speaking of which, that's what I'm talking about -!? No way!?"
You finally found out who I am...?
"... Goodbye, my peasant life -"
When I said that as if I had burned white, Fall put his hand on his mouth to see if he understood the intent of my statement,
"Huh? Ah! No! Al, I didn't find out who you are!!
............................................. Huh?
"............... Really?
"Yeah. It's a different story this time."
What's the other case? I thought you knew exactly who I was because we talked about the Knights going to Sils Village.
But if you haven't found out, what the hell else...?
"Oh well. So, what's the story with the other case?
"That's it... the village of Syrus seems a little strange..."
"Weird?"
"Yes, I don't know the details, but there's something in the village of Silth..."
… there is something in the village of Syrus…?
"... what do you mean?
"The captain of the Knights headed to the village of Syrus says that the cleric who accompanied him felt ill as he approached the village of Syrus and by the time he reached the village of Syrus he seemed unconscious..."
"A cleric...?
Speaking of priests, I'm talking about people who worship (mama) God, some who are politically active, others who serve as presiding judges and church priests, and according to what I've heard, some people can hear the voice of God...
"... the cleric was the only one who fell?
"Hmmm...... I think so..."
I don't know why the cleric accompanied him, but there seems to be a reason why only the cleric fell...
... I might need to go check it out once...
But if you go see how it goes and inspire something that could be there, everyone in the village of Syrus could be in danger.
If we're going, we need to act cautiously then.
"... ok. Thanks for letting me know. All right, it's time to go home because it'll be dark. Fall also hurry up with the escort............... is that it?
I looked over, but I can't find anyone who looks like Fall's escort. There's no way Fall from the princess's position on the boulder is here alone at this hour...?
"Uh, Fall? The escort...?
"Uh... Al, I thought I had to let you know this fast... and you popped out without saying anything!
"Asshole."
You jumped out here alone. No, I appreciated wanting to let you know...
"... what would you have done if I hadn't found you until dark..."
"You were home before dark, weren't you? …… maybe"
"Maybe."
I can't help it... it's not completely dark yet, but the night is close... I don't know what's going to happen in the world...
"I'll give you a lift so we can get there fast. It's gonna be night like this."
"... yeah! Yes!
Because of the sunset, Fall's face looked a little red then.
