Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
85 Spirit Guidance and Revelation
We went back to the woods and resumed our exploration, and we were well on our way to sourcing materials without getting caught up in the event.
Zazzaz, Dawn. The sound of such a tree fall echoes in the forest.
"I didn't know demons wouldn't show up when I heard this sound. Maybe Mandrake's screaming is calling for demons."
"I don't know if it is."
Lissian reacted to my whining and talked to me.
"So what do you say? Do you have the feeling or voice you were calling before the break?
"Yeah, but I don't know what the range is."
I turn my gaze to Milfine and Crescia, but they both shake their faces to the side.
"Right. Keep your focus on the tree selection and your voice."
"I'm scared."
I proceeded with the work in such conversation, and returning to the place where I fought before the break expanded the sight of the impossible, and I doubted my eyes.
"... there wasn't this much earlier, was there?
"... maybe the fairies and spirits are flirting"
"Not if you say so with such ease. It's easy to leave."
Ketty couldn't hide her surprise from Mandrake beyond ten.
That scream seems to have been enough to make Ketty, the beast man, a little harder too.
"Ketty, don't worry. Mandrake is a plant, so we can collect it in a magic bag."
Didn't I tell you that creatures don't go in magic bags?
"First of all, it's like a herb, and even if that doesn't work, activate the Sanctuary Circle to prevent this one from falling into a state of panic."
"Good luck, Luciel."
Thus I asked everyone to stand down just in case, and when they failed and I fainted, I was told to retreat in charge of me.
"Do it."
I thought of Mandrake in my magic bag.
"... that's too bad"
I finished retrieving it even though I was flabbergasted by Mandrake, which made it easy to get in.
"... we didn't have a problem."
When I looked back and told everyone, the three elves concentrated on one point and didn't respond.
"What's going on?
I turned my gaze in the direction they were looking, but I didn't see anything, and I didn't feel like there was anything.
"... a fairy."
"Lacey the Forest Conductor..."
"I've never seen it before, but it's huge."
"I'm telling you to follow me."
"..." Let me check my strength earlier, and I know you're cheating smart when it comes to wisdom... but thank you for your luck with the ones who can see me. "
I see Lionel and the others, but it still seemed like they were the only three.
It's just not normal for a fairy to talk.
Unless you get caught up in some special event............ I'll think that far and tell the three of you, Licians, that I'm going to follow a fairy called Lacey.
"... maybe it was the fairy he was calling. So let's stay alert."
"Yes."
Proceed vigilantly after the three of you who see a fairy.
"It's too fantastic."
Grass and trees change shape and turn, creating paths that weren't meant to be.
We did not encounter demons, and gradually the voices of birds and insects disappeared, and only the sound of trees swayed by the wind reached our ears.
"I hear you're here."
"Instructed him to wait a moment, and Lacey disappeared."
"And it's a beautiful fountain"
It was a mysterious and beautiful fountain that led the three of us here.
With the camera, I'm sure he would have shut down many times.
If the demons didn't even show up, maybe we could live here.
"... it feels dangerous to move around."
"Forest fairies are flirtatious, and there are anecdotes that confuse people and keep them out of the woods, so that's better"
Ketty and Lionel did not de-alert.
I nodded and watched the beautiful and mysterious fountain.
Then a few minutes later, the three elves began to digress toward the fountain.
"What's going on?
There was no response from them, and they were talking about something, but it was like they were stretched out in the soundproofing world. I couldn't hear it at all.
"Should I have brought Dolan and Paula, too?
I asked Lionel and Ketty if I should have brought Drun, who could hear the Spirit.
"Lord Doran said that even if he heard the earthly spirits, he couldn't see them, so he wouldn't be the same as us."
"If I had brought you here, it would have been a compatibility issue, and you might have been lost."
Neither of us brought the Dwarf Combination. The decision wasn't wrong... that's what he thought.
A voice suddenly echoed in my head as I watched the three of them in the dungeon.
"With the protection of dragons, my people. It's too soon for the Lord to come here."
"... what do you mean?
I'm suddenly starting to talk and I'm surprised around, but that's not the place.
"You'll know what it means over time."
"... can I come here again?
If you come to this forest, I'll give you a guide.
"... what if they come?
"If you have a strong will to overcome your destiny, you will come."
"Too abstract. Answer me properly."
But there was no response.
Three of the elves were walking toward us.
"Are you all right?
"... they can't keep my life at peace"
When I told her that, Ketty laughed and opened her mouth.
"As usual."
"... sure as ever"
Sometimes I find myself in an environment that isn't as peaceful as usual, but I convince myself that I can't help but be wary of flirting and make a mistake.
"Dear Luciel, apparently if you go all the way from here to the back of the woods, there's an elf country."
"But you said the Spirit wasn't there yet."
When I looked at the end of the woods and was surprised to find that there was an elf country, the word caught me oddly that it wasn't then that I was told too.
"So why is Crescia crying?
From now on, Crescia was weeping without raising her voice.
"... the Spirit taught me that I am a child born of hope. You taught me that people and elves can't be born without really loving each other."
I could speculate that there would have been discrimination in that face, which I happily speak of, by being half.
"Well, good for you."
"Yes."
"So how do we get home?
"He said if we go that way, we can go home... but if we go that way, there's a Hatch settlement, and the spirits said they want us to go there."
What's a Hutch? Read my face and Milfine starts talking.
"It is a species that lives collecting honey from flowers and trees. And Luciel said it would be beneficial to both the Hatch."
... Spirit...? I wonder how far I see the future, but if it's the Hatch - bees - the plan goes all at once. You won't have a hand in missing this.
"... the sun will be down soon. If I can come back here again, I'll go home, and if I can't, I'll crack the squad and have Keffins join me. You think you can come back here?
The person I heard was, of course, three elves.
"... I'm sorry, but I can't seem to"
That is what Milfine has told me on behalf of him.
Then the problem is with the personnel returning, but at least one of the three elves has to be returned. And the escort... I have no choice.
"Ketty and Yarbo team, Lysian and Crescia will be returning."
I take the magic bag out of the bag and I give it to Ketty.
"This contains camping tools, including tents. Ketty's gonna grow up and divide up the camp."
"Mmm. I wanted to come with you."
"If we disperse Lionel and Ketty, who are highly capable at our party, we'll have a better chance of surviving both, so give it up"
All right, all right.
"Everybody get ready for camp. If we don't make it back by noon tomorrow, you're gonna have to go back to the city once and get the plan going."
"Yes."
Thus left me and Lionel, Milfine, and Ketty and the others set out for the outside of the woods.
"Now, why did you really have to go to the Hatch village?
"Master Left. What did the Spirit tell you?
Lionel sets his sword on Milfine. Even though I'm currently under a slave contract, I only order that nothing harm or harm my church relationship with me.
That's why it's possible to lie.
This lie was good because I noticed it when I saw Crescia's face, but it also made me think it was better to think about when Lionel and Ketty weren't around.
"Lionel... the sword doesn't have to be set up. Milfine, tell me."
Milfine was solidified with a sinking face, but I took a moment to start the conversation.
"... you were finding out. As a matter of fact, the spirits told me that the area around the Hatch settlement had become more distracted recently and that it would be devastated in a few days, and that Luciel could save it."
"So you're lying........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ Why is Lionel making his eyes so shiny?
"If you're upset, there's going to be a strong enemy."
"Don't flag it. Purify and interact, and we'll just go home. Milfine is the guide."
Unlike earlier, Lionel strained on his own when he sensed that there might be a battle with a strong demon.
I decided to ride Milfine's suggestion, thinking that if I were to purify it, there would be no demons.
"... thank you, Master Luciel"
Milfine, who bowed deeply, began to walk in the lead with complacency.
Me and Lionel followed Milfine's lead while we were vigilant around.
