Kanna no Kanna

Disappointingly, we finally arrived at our destination, the site where the lixisir grass grows.

I just thought that there was an assassin attack before I came here, but there was no sign of an attack. Eventually, he arrived safely at his destination.

"... In this case, what happens to the King's request?"

It was the first day and it was not without success. However, there seems to be no shortage of requests for this. This makes me worried about what to do if I get reluctant to get paid.

Aside from that, I can't help but care for the "request of the back." I have to do the table request well.

"It's a tremendous question, but why did you find the location of the medicinal herb in the depths of this forest?" "The king had dispatched his subordinates to this area more than before. Because of that, even if it was impossible to collect it just in case, I just wanted to confirm its location. ''

Go deep into the forest while talking to an elf soldier.

── And I was able to find the target thing in less time.

"Hey, collection is complete."

The found Lixil grass is digged out in ice, together with the soil near where it grows. It ’s about the size of a soccer ball. I made two more Rixir grasses with ice.

Assassin Take this back to the Royal Castle and you've completed Half of the Request. "The other half" can't be managed by me. Everything is up to you.

However, it is a turning point at the moment. Even if there was no success on the outbound route, there is still a return route. It is still early to give up.

I don't know if you are waiting for a raid.

That being said, there have been a few worries since I came here.

"Is this area too quiet?"

Stop The sound of the creatures that had been heard annoying until yesterday is not resonating today. The attack of the demon beast was also crisp, and although comfort was easy, it felt eerie.

An elf soldier who heard my words made his face slightly steep.

"... It's the effect of the monster sealed in this land."

We have sourced information on the area when we harvest liquor grass.

We have advanced into a dangerous area where demonic beasts are very active, and those who are half-lived can lose their lives in a matter of days.

But the most dangerous thing in the area was the presence of the "sealed monsters" described by elf soldiers.

"Isn't it okay if you don't get your hands out?" From "

He talked about the matter in a persistent manner with the clerk whom the king sent to the explainer. The assassin alone was troublesome, but he wanted to reduce the risk further.

──What I knew there was a monster called “The Evil of Ashken”.

It seems that it was a monster that appeared in Eldaphos many generations earlier than now. It is unknown what purpose it made to Eldaphos. Anyway, after the monster passed, it was destroyed to the extent that only "ashken" remained, so it was named "the disaster of ashes".

"When I was a child, I was often threatened by my mother that 'if you do evil, you'll come up with ashes of evil.' Perhaps many things in Eldaphos are similar."

An elven soldier who told him to be anxious, but his voice contained tension. What I heard when I was a kid is now just beyond my eyes and nose. Even if you can't see your figure, you can't help but fear.

As a matter of fact, it has been heard from civilians that there is no problem as long as you do not touch badly here.

Even though it is Rixir grass, there is no curse to the untouchable God. Now that you have the objective, it is a good idea to leave this place as soon as possible.

When I tried to turn my heels off the spot.

Wait ...

Such a voice reached my ear.

"──── Spirit?"

Basically, the spirit responds to your call, but the spirit does not appeal to you.

But it was definitely a spirit voice.

The theoretical grounds are simple and intuitive.

But for me dealing with spiritism, it was an element worth believing.

"... What did you do, Shirayasha?"

The soldier calls out to me who suddenly stops, but I listen to the spirit regardless of it.

What do you want to tell me?

I ask the spirits while holding a feeling close to frustration.

And what came back.

I'll come.

"Yes?"

Before you say what will come.

咆 A roar that tears the heavens echoed around.

Even if you hurry up and close your ears, it's as if it were reaching your head directly. The volume of voice was terrible, but above all, a strong sense of intimidation, like grabbing the heart, came in.

"ぉ ぉ ぉ ぁ ぁ ぁ ぁ ... It's too intense."

A bark that seems to be a kind of mental attack. If you're listening nearby, you may not be able to break the eardrum, but your heart may stop because of an impact, because you can't see it at all.

After the "roar" passed, I looked around while holding down my wobbly head.

Unfortunately, everyone except me was unconscious. I will not despise them without compassion. I would have been stunned like them if I had been a little nervous. Even now, the view is a bit flickering.

"That damn bad premonition

As if to prove my muttering, my spine bubbled slowly.

From the depths of the forest, terrible "killing" overflowed.

He described the roar earlier as "grabbing the heart", but this killing was like "grabbing the heart."

In my head, I should try to escape from this place with all my might. He knows he should stab the elf soldiers and flee with all his might.

Nevertheless.

──Go (itte).

"Hey ... joking"

The spirit shows the root of this "killing".

Given where I am now, it's not hard to imagine what is the root of "the roar just before" and this "killing".

In other words, the spirit is talking to me under the scourge of ashes.
