"... oh, really, I'm out of the woods."

A forest near Orient Country that seems to have a relationship with the Shadow One.

One of the poor people who came out of the forest said that this forest could not go deep into it.

He comes out on his own while walking.

Isn't it such a strange forest?

What, it seemed interesting, and I jumped in, but as I was walking, I came back out from the gloomy forest.

Strange.

It was meant to go straight towards the back, but it came out.

Besides, I don't think I cut through the woods.

Because I had some of the mercenaries waiting outside the woods before entering, but there were mercenaries who were supposed to remain where I came from.

That means I changed my course without knowing it.

"Ah, here we go. Hey, Commander."

When I came back, I was completely out of the woods.

And you can hear me calling out like that.

Looking back, I found Walter at a different location from where I came from.

"Oh no, I'm surprised.Suddenly the commander who was walking in front of me disappeared, so I was in a hurry. "

"Is he gone? Me?If I were to say that, Walter and the others would have been gone before long. "

"Huh? That can't be right.We were definitely on the move after the Commander.And all of a sudden, I lost the commander.So I looked around in a hurry and I couldn't find it.After all, I had to keep walking, so I came back here. "

Walter and the other mercenaries who came out of the woods after me.

The Walter says something strange.

They suddenly lost me.

But it can't be.

I was just walking normally.

Besides, there were people in the back, so I'm sure the mercenaries were following us.

But then somehow it got off the hook.

Walter and the other mercenaries disappeared.

Except for a few mercenaries who were near me.

That said, more mercenaries have returned.

It's Zen's squad.

Apparently, Zen and the others were separated from me and Walter.

However, it seems that the place that came out of the woods was even different, and they bypassed the outside of the woods and came back here.

"... maybe you've been shown a phantom?"

Fantasy?

"Ah, the view of the surroundings, the person who was supposed to be walking in front, or the person who was supposed to be behind it was illusory.This forest may have such a phenomenon. "

"Is that so?But if that's the case, you might lose sight of it just by following it from behind. "

"Right? If the trees in this forest were phantom, we might have seen them with our own eyes and gone straight ahead, but we might actually have gone in a completely different direction.So if you notice, you'll be out of the woods. "

I'm not sure if I really have this idea.

But for now, it doesn't seem strange to think so.

Let's call it the Forest of Illusions for now.

It will be difficult to go further in this illusory forest.

Because we don't even know where we're going or how we're going.

But the assassins must be coming out of this forest.

The smell certainly led to this forest.

That doesn't mean you'll never get to the back of this forest.

There must be some way.

How do you do that?

"What do you think of Eye?... what? Eyes?"

"Ah, that? Ai-san's not here."

"Since when? Zen, Eye certainly went into the woods with us, right?"

"Of course, Commander Alphonse.Ai was certainly by Commander Alphonse's side and went into the woods. "

"Oh, my God, did I miss us?"

I also wanted to hear Eye's opinion about this delusional forest.

But I finally realized that I didn't see Eye anymore.

As far as Zen is concerned, he definitely went into the woods with us.

But the eye hasn't come out of this forest yet.

At that time, I heard a sound.

It's a very small noise.

It must have rang quite far away.

But the sound sounded familiar.

The sound of a magic bullet landing.

A hardened brick bullet fired from a magic gun does not make a sound when fired.

What you hear is the sound of the bullet hitting the subject.

And I think what I hear now is the sound of a magic bullet hitting someone.

Focus more attention on your ears.

And then I gathered the magic in my ears and picked up the sound more accurately, farther away.

As a result, it appears that the impact sound of the magic bullet can be heard from behind the woods of illusion.

"Hi, looks like Eye is going deep into the woods.Looks like you're at war with someone. "

Is that okay?

"I think it's probably okay, but I don't know what it's like to be alone.Let's go to Eye too. "

"How are you going to get there?We didn't make it to the back of this forest. "

"It's all right. I'm in the back of the woods, more than I can prove. Get out, Eye."

In order to catch up with the eye in the back of the forest, I put magic into the nucleus from the magic bag and brought the other eye to the scene.

The Eye has already shared information with the Eye, who will be in the back of the forest.

This will take you to Eye.

I went back into the woods with my immediate lead eye.
