Legend

A few dark elves have rushed into the garden that Elaine and the others are renting.

However, the back length of that dark elf was only as long as Bühne's and was obviously still to be called a child.

"Sister Marina! Oh, my God! Lugudos and the others aren't coming back!

"I stopped because I can't!? Yet Lugudos and the others said they would be fine..."

"Please, Sister Marina. Lugudos, help them!

I can't immediately understand the content of the story because each of them is making a noise of their own accord.

However... I could still understand that some of the children had gone somewhere and not come back.

Looking at those dark elf children, Fu Ray wonders.

(Marina left this settlement nearly a hundred years ago.... Because what do these kids miss so much marina? Exactly a hundred years ago, these kids weren't even born yet... right?

Given the life expectancy of the dark elves, it may actually be possible that they were born.

It was Ray thinking that way, but he was actually right to know Marina today in the settlement when she was looking into the world tree.

Some of Dark Elf's children are also called bad kids and kid generals, and such people gave a glimpse into the marina of the treatment of important people in the settlement... naturally the marina can't have been done in silence as it is, and as a result, the kid generals will be intercepted.

"Then the Lugudos said they were going to show you their power, and they left the settlement and went to the woods!

"Become..."

To the words, Marina pulls her face apart.

Naturally. Normally, between the junction of stray and the junction of the barrier, there was little appearance of a monster, and to some extent he was able to safely exit the settlement.

However... now that the world tree has recovered the day before, many monsters are trapped between the lost and the barrier.

That could also have a lot of goblins in it.

It's not hard to imagine what would happen if some Dark Elf kid turned to a place like that who doesn't have a lot of combat skills either......

"Come on!"

Marina turns her gaze to the sky.

The sunset is already about to set, and it will be night not so far away.

And at night, the monster becomes even more active, and even if it is a dark elf, in the end, it will not be a situation where the child can manage.

It was a marina lost for a moment, but soon he opens his mouth towards the Rays.

"Ray, Elaine, Vihera, Ara, Bühne, Earth. I was wondering if you could help me."

Originally, the request the Rays are receiving is to treat the world tree and solve the forest anomaly.

I have no obligation to save Dark Elf's child here, and I have nothing to blame for making that choice.

But... Still, for the Rays, this was the home of the marina, and if that marina was in trouble, it was only natural that they wanted to save it.

Unlike those Rays, it's simpler in the case of Earth.

Sometimes you can't imitate abandoning a child because you're looking to be a hero, and most importantly, Earth was in the position of a kid general in the village where he originally grew up.

That's why I didn't have any choice to abandon the kid general for going into the woods, and I can understand the kid general's feelings.

The first person to open his mouth was Ray.

"Okay, I don't mind."

Everyone else agrees with Ray's words about going to the woods.

"... thanks. Then let's go. Hey, you guys. Did you tell the other adults about this?

The children shake their necks sideways in a confirmed marina.

Did you think I'd be scolded if I told you, or did you have that strong impression when you met the marina?

Whatever it is, Marina tells the children that the matter is not yet known to the other adults.

"Okay? We'll talk about this soon, Grandpa... head under the elders and tell the same story as we do now. That way, they'll mobilize the others soon."

"But..."

One of the children opens his mouth in such a way as fear.

"If I find out about this, I'll be pissed off..."

"More than has mattered so far. I can't hide it from you. Then you'd better let them know and find the Lugudos who won't be back soon, right? Getting angry is nothing more than doing bad things.... or abandon the kids who are gone because you don't like them getting mad?

Sounds like a joke...... the kids shake their necks wide and sideways to the marina I asked with a grin my eyes were never laughing while I was there.

We never wanted to imitate that we abandoned Lugudos, our own leader.

He was a kid general who caused a lot of problems like this one, but he still has a good looking after personality, because it is true that he is liked by those below him.

Seeing how those kids were, Marina opens her mouth with a full grin instead of the ungrinning grin in her eyes a few seconds ago.

"Yes, then go. We'll go to the woods and find Lugudos."

"Ugh, yeah! Ok!"

Screaming like that, the kids rush off the spot.

Drop it off and the marina opens her mouth.

"Well, everybody, I need your help. I'll be ready soon, too, so I'll meet you at the entrance inside."

To Marina's words, everyone started to act.

Face to face going toward the house Elaine owes, Marina goes toward her own house and Earth goes toward the house Ray owes with Polo.

In the meantime, only Ray remained on the spot doing nothing in particular.

For Ray, who uses mystering, there is basically no need to prepare.

Of course, it was necessary to purchase consumables or something, but fortunately something is missing now.

More than that, Ray heads straight to the entrance to the settlement.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Next to such a ray, Seto rattles his throat.

(No, I guess you're right to describe this as motivating)

The same was true of Gilm, but Seto is basically sweet on children.

Of course it's not unconditional and sweet, it's mild but also retaliatory for the person who plays the prank, but if you still saw it overall, there was no mistake that it was sweet for the child.

That's why I guess there's a lot of things to think that kids are in the woods... and that's also going into the woods where they think there's a massive outbreak of goblins and they don't come back.

While heading with Seto to the entrance to the Dark Elf settlement, Ray turns his gaze toward the wooden fence covering the settlement.

This settlement is protected by the junction of the barriers of the world tree, and as a result there is no such kind of wall as is in the Guild.

The wooden fence only meant once, and I guess that's why the kid generals named Lugudos were able to get out easily.

(Usually...... I guess I didn't have a problem when the world tree was fine)

Now there's the problem with the world tree, and it's in a dangerous state in the woods.

Adults would naturally have paid proper attention to their children, but children were happy to break what adults told them to do.

Especially if you're a kid general, I guess that trend has something stronger.

"So... it's not like you can still kill a child."

"Gru!"

In whining rays, dark elves even if the opponent is a child...... in other words, the possibility of actually being older than rays is completely disappearing.

Regardless of your actual age, it would be natural to treat you like a child because you look like a child.

That may have been close to defensive instinct not to think about the marina's real age.

Either way, Ray and Seto arrive at the rendezvous point.

And I got a surprise look at seeing some dark elves already gathered.

No, it wouldn't have been particularly surprising if we were just getting together. I was wondering if you were gathered here for any reason. I might have been somewhat convinced if they had told me that it was for the banquet.

However... the Dark Elves gathered here, most of them with bows in their hands, seem very unlikely to have a banquet coming up.

(The world tree did not fully recover in the first place, and there should be a banquet? There were so many people in shock)

So why are there so many dark elves here? The question of such a ray became apparent as soon as I heard what the Dark Elves were talking about.

"Look, when you find Goblin, make sure Lugudos isn't anywhere near you first."

"But if you're a woman, you're a man anyway, right? Besides, kid. You think Goblin would find such a dark elf and keep it that way?

"Still. There's no chance of that."

"... I hope he's alive..."

Worried about is the Word of Worry about the children, starting with Lugudos.

I mean, I guess they're the ones gathered to find the Lugudos, just like Ray.

(Much sooner)

Soon after Marina left the house, Ray should have left the house.

But the Dark Elves have already gathered in front of Ray.

"... yeah? Maybe you'll help me out, too?

One of the dark elves has been so vocal when he saw Ray.

Ray, who is not going to hide anything in particular, nods at the inquiry.

"Oh. The marina asked me to.... and even though I just heard the story, it's a lot quicker to get together."

"The kid from the settlement is missing. It's natural to come together, isn't it?

Talking to Ray is a dark elf with an appearance age of about twenty.

The way he carries an arrow barrel and has a bow in his hand is exactly in the shape of Ray's dark elf image itself.

"Should I say companionship for much longer?

"Really? I think it's normal.... Well, I'm glad that guys like you work with us."

The dark elf man, who is hearing from someone he knows who can feel the magic of how much Ray's magic is, smiles gladly when he hears Ray cooperate.

What's there is not feelings like fear or fear of Ray already.

I guess it also naturally has something to do with going to the woods to help Dark Elf children.

It is also significant that this man himself does not have the ability to feel magic.

In fact, some of the people who felt Ray's magic on the training ground were looking at Ray more or were looking away softly.

Most of all, it's not fear that's there, it's fear... it's the same in the sense that they're both feared, but they still don't have the same kind of malice because they still have a track record of treating the world tree.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Oops.

You got lonely because Ray was only talking to a dark elf guy, and Seto shows his face as he throats.

A dark elf man gives a surprise look at such a Ceto appearance, but it could be said that it is considerably less surprising as a look that those unfamiliar with Ceto give.

"... you're not too surprised"

"That's right. You're the one who treated the world tree. I can easily imagine not rambling pointlessly."

That's what the dark elf guy talking to Ray says, but many of the other dark elves are looking at Ceto and trying to keep their distance.

Seeing how it went, it was clear that not everything in the dark elves was accepting Ceto like a man.

"Whoa, let go! Get off me!"

"So I'm telling you to wait! It's already night and you're the only one in the woods to do it! He said we should all work together to make a move, rather than everyone moving separately!

Ray, who heard such a voice, turns his gaze towards you.

There was a sight where one dark elf was about to head into the woods, stopping a few of them.

No, if you notice, a few others are trying to get into the woods, and many are stopped.

"What's that?

"... oh. I'm Lugudos' brother. You're the parents and brothers of the other guys who headed into the woods with Lugudos."

I see, and Ray nods.

If my relatives were told that they were going to the woods now... between the junction of stray and the junction of the barrier, it would be natural to rush that far.

"But even if everyone moves their own way, it just takes a long time to find the Lugudos. Even if I know that... I guess that's all I'm in a hurry"

Ray tried to snort at the whining man's words, then.

"Guys, pay attention over here. I'm going to tell you the extent of the part that each of us is going to explore. Follow it and explore. As you know, there are many monsters in the woods right now, so never act alone."

Marina's voice echoed around her.
