I asked Pioneer to make the ship, and me and Caro went back to the coast.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the ocean...... it's beautiful"

"Carol's been traveling a long time."

"Yes, but it wasn't free to be a pedestrian, the trading route was set, so it didn't feel like I was traveling around the world, and it was long before Caro's father and mother died, so honestly, it was a good place to remember the sights of the sea"

"Oh well..."

I couldn't say anything more.

The spiciness of my parents' death, the fact that the cause is on me, it's a past I have too, and it's still the present.

It's only past noon now, so I can't use my powers as Caro's seducer, or see the stars.

That's why we decided to go into the woods first.

"I wish I could at least see what's going on in the back of the woods."

"Right...... no, wait?

Being able to rendezvous with Caro reminded me that my head is getting a little cold, too, and that I have skills that I can use at times like this.

……………………………………………………

Eagle's Eye: Other Skills [Hunter LV60]

You can see the ground from above.

Maximum, can be set to a height of one kilometer.

……………………………………………………

With this, we can see the landscape from above.

"Caro, I'm gonna use the eagle's eye, just look at my body for a second"

I activate the eagle's eyes.

Only my vision gradually goes up, up and up.

And a while up, I checked the perimeter.

Around the island, of course, we are surrounded by the sea, which allows us to look farther than we did earlier, but we do not see anything else island-like.

The island we're on looks almost circular.

Is it about two kilometers in diameter?

When I looked under my feet, there was me and Caro standing and looking down.

And out of sight, looking at the woods.

Depressing forest - but something is wrong with its center. There is a place where there are no trees at all.

I didn't even know what was there because of the other trees, but I'm curious.

I didn't know what was there in the end, even if I raised the altitude further.

When the eagle's eyes were released, his vision changed and only the white sandy beach returned.

"Dear Ichino, how was it?

"There was a space in the middle of the forest where no trees were growing. If there is, I think it's about a fountain, but I want to go see it."

"Caro agrees"

"Thank you, Caro. I was suddenly flown off to a deserted island, and it seemed like a long time ago."

Suddenly I get flown to a place I don't know, even when my horse kicked me to death.

I panicked a lot then.

When I came to this world, I didn't panic because of Mr. Didgelow's left notes.

And this time. It's all thanks to Caro that I finally got calm.

"Master Ichino can be like that, too. But Carol's the one who's being helped."

"No, no, at least not this time, because Caro's so cool, he's got a way out of this."

Embarrassing story, when I'm alone, I don't know how long it took Caro to realize the escape method he said.

No, of course you must have noticed someday.

Thanks to Caro, I sincerely thought so.

But Caro shook his head to the side.

"Caro will definitely do something about it if you're Ichino, I believe so, so I can stay calm. If it weren't for Master Ichino, I probably wouldn't have been able to move crying the whole time, would I?

"That's not gonna happen, is it? Caro is solid."

"Dear Ichino, have you forgotten? When Carol first met Ichino, Carol wanted to die, didn't she? From the bottom of my heart. But you couldn't even kill yourself. So I accompanied Master Oregel into the labyrinth without refusing, and I wanted to die. Not very much, but I can never think of my actions as calm now."

"Caro, that was a long time ago. Now Caro is one of our most knowledgeable and helpful partners. I'm really counting on you."

"... if you say so, you'll light it up a bit"

Caro grinned like he had a "ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe

"Now, go into the woods... Caro, be careful. There are signs of demons from all over. Usually, deserted islands like this that aren't even on the map at the edge of these world maps have a hidden chest and a monster to protect it... maybe a hidden labyrinth or something"

Of course, it's a game story, but this world is more or less linked to the game.

The possibilities are not zero, and then you should be somewhat nervous.

"I don't know about the chest, but if it's a monster and a labyrinth, it's likely to be."

"Huh? Really? No, but the purpose of the labyrinth is to gather the temper and purify it, but the temper that couldn't be purified appeared in the form of a demon?

For this reason, a complete purification of the temper of the labyrinth requires the presence of an adventurer defeating the demons of the labyrinth, for which the Goddess gives a bonus to the adventurer who has reached the deepest point.

That should have been the story.

So I don't think there's a labyrinth where there's no humans.

"Right. But there's a strong demon, and if you rope the labyrinth, the story is different. Demons kill each other, purifying the labyrinth."

"You mean demon enemies can be demon enemies, not just humans, but demons themselves"

Well, normally if you think about it, if there weren't humans, all the demons would be living in peace with their hands and hands, there's no such thing.

Where there are no humans on Earth, no, they kill us where there are no humans. Because there is a food chain going on.

Could there be a labyrinth... if there is, it's not a bad idea to embark on a labyrinth attack.

If it is a labyrinth managed by Master Coschomare or Mr. Trailule, you can speak directly to the Goddess. That way, you won't wait for the night and you'll know where we are. That would make it a lot easier to get off the island, and the goddess might be able to give you some information about my new skills.

No, even if you're not a two-pillar goddess, you might be able to meet me if you're a Libra or Setrans who knows me.

In that case, the odds are four sixths or sixty-six percent over.

Even if it were another goddess, it would be a clearance bonus for me and Caro to level up.

Well, it's only if there's a labyrinth, and it's for the reckoning of uncatched raccoons.

"Well, shall we go into the woods"

When I said that, I took my sword out of the item bag, carried it on my hips, and pulled out my sword.

"Shall we go then? Carol, follow me."

"Yes, Master Ichino"

And I move on, sometimes trampling, paying for the grass in the woods.

It took five hours to reach the center of the woods because it also meant that Caro would be easy to move, and because of the purpose of not losing sight of his way home, he went into consideration, and once he had gone some way, he confirmed the location relationship of his destination with the eyes of the eagle.

It's all evening now, and it can almost be called night in the woods.

I thought I could go back to the coast once here or into my own world.

But I couldn't contain my curiosity about where I found it with eagle eyes.

It was there - closest to the first spring I thought.

I didn't know there was anything like this here.

"Dear Ichino, Caro, I've never seen this in person before"

"Right. This is the first time I've come to this world to see it..."

That is unusual when it comes to rarity in Japan, but most people have seen it several times.

But it will definitely be a tourist attraction.

What was there was warm water - a hot spring.

"A natural hot spring in an open-air bath..."

Hot air surrounds a hot spring where no one is.

You're obviously setting the temperature wrong and... Well, what's the matter?

With that in mind, I took the cloth out of the item bag and started getting ready to take a bath.
