For a moment I thought it was the enemy, the Rays, but I'm relieved that it was a familiar person who showed up.
I guess that was the same over there. Look at Ray and the others and lower the weapon they had in place.
"Look, that's why I told you I'm not the enemy"
"You didn't tell me!
The fellow adventurer reflexes back to Luno's voice, whining like a shudder.
In fact, Luno realized by the devil's eye that he could see the magic, what was in their direction of progress.
Though I told my people that, I didn't say a word about it being the Rays.
"Is that it? Was it?
"That's right. Damn... well, it just wasn't a monster."
Rouno deludes himself with an ambiguous laugh at an adventurer who squeals in a way that perhaps contains relief.
That's how we reassure each other when we know we're not enemies, but in this case it would be the Luno and the others who reassured us stronger.
Anyway, when I moved forward with the branches that were blocking my way forward, it was the wings of the Red Lotus that were waiting for me there.
Fortunately, the Rays soon unraveled the battle setup, but if we had stayed misunderstanding each other about something and fought... then it would be natural to think that that would have been really helpful.
And I couldn't help but say a little harsher about Luno, who didn't tell me that there were Rays.
"We seem to be safe with each other, above all."
That's how Vihella sounds to get rid of the subtle air that drifts around her.
They were adventurers whose lives were in danger until a few seconds ago, but they can't be happy to be talked to by a beautiful woman like Vihera.
While alerting to the surrounding conditions, moderate tensions fall out.
… although some were out of tension more than necessary.
"Oh, you're safe and above all. But even though I looked around a lot, there wasn't anything like this."
"Right. It's the same here.... There were some interesting things, but it's not that important either."
"Right, right. Yesterday when I came to the woods as an escort, there was absolutely nothing like it.... No way, I didn't think you would be this far into the back of the woods"
"With that said, you've come a long way so fast, haven't you? I thought we were going the best..."
"Uh... that's..."
To Vihera's doubts, the man of the adventurer we were talking about turns to the researchers who were assigned to their group.
A glimpse of the surroundings gives researchers an interesting gaze at Seto and waiting for the adventurers to finish their story.
"That guy, when he finds out he doesn't have anything to look into, he doesn't hesitate to go into the back of the woods. So, keep going..."
That's how I caught up with the Rays.
An adventurer man who tells you so.
To that word, Vihera turns her gaze to the researcher's man.
Though I'm looking at Seto, he's not trying to force me to do anything.
Some researchers say that if they knew about the existence of Seto, they would have to keep Seto with their own theory, but fortunately, this researcher was not there.
That's true for the Rays... but it was fortunate for the adventurers who were escorting that researcher.
If it's going to spoil Ray and the others' mood here, that's because we know what's waiting for us.
If there is a widespread talk of causing Seto, who is turning into a mascot character in the half guild, living in the guild becomes a lot narrower in his shoulders.
Beyond that, it was the hope of the adventurers that they wanted researchers to be adults, and that hope had now been fulfilled.
A short distance away from the Vihelas who are having such an exchange, this one is also where Ray talks to two people, Luno and Sleisha.
"Well, I can't even see Luno's eyes"
"Oh. When I got here yesterday, I was probably anticipating the neighborhood.... Still, it's a little surprising that all the trees growing in this forest have magic. I don't feel magic coming from branches of trees falling on the ground."
"Heh. Is that perceived to be dead, after all, broken tree branches or something?
"I don't know."
"In the first place, it's a little unnatural for tree branches to break and roll to the ground in these woods without animals or monsters."
I guess it affects that all the party members other than myself are in the forest of Trent, where they were killed.
Sleisha looks pretty nervous even from Ray's eyes.
(I don't know what it is so I don't get hit by surprises... but I'm too careful and don't feel like Ning Ro is a bad influence)
While I think so, I'm also in the ray wondering if it's impossible if my people are coming to the place where they were killed.
Even to the extent of familiarity, I speak to Sleisha in a way that I know - and I don't hate it - but it's not funny that an adventurer is going to die.
"Slasha, I know you're gonna feel it, but if you put too much effort into it, you're gonna be unable to react when something really happens, or you're gonna overreact and you're gonna be in danger."
"That's... I know..."
Even if Ray, who is obviously younger than himself, is noticed, Sleisha doesn't get angry.
I am older, but I understand that my skills and rank as an adventurer are overwhelmingly higher than mine.
But even if I know that, if you ask me if I can do what I say, the answer is no.
Slasha also understands that she must be out of strength. I understand, but still, before I even know it, I'm going to be empowered.
For knowing what kind of place this is.
"... I know."
"Even so, I lost a lot of strength than I did at first."
That's what Luno tells Ray, who was listening to the conversation between Ray and Slasha, but Ray tilts his neck when he hears it.
"Why? If you're coming to Trent Forest, that's what you came here for yesterday, isn't it?
"Yes.... but yesterday was only an escort for the people of the Compared to that, today is sometimes a full-scale investigation, and I really..."
Your body will have strength, he said.
A researcher man watching Seto opens his mouth when Ray thinks he can't help it.
"Excuse me, is it time? I'd like to do as much research as I can, beyond having to leave the Trent Forest once by evening."
"Uh... I mean. Sorry."
To Luno's words, Ray shakes his neck to the side.
Even a little further away, the adventurers who were in conversation with Vihera and Marina seemed a little sorry, but they were finishing the conversation.
"I don't think anything's gonna happen during the day, but be careful."
"Oh. So are the Rays."
Ray and Luno exchange words briefly and move on to the actions of their respective groups.
He drops off Luno and the others as he gently waves away, and Ray and the others walk out toward a different side from Luno and the others.
"Even so, I knew you hadn't grabbed anything over there.... you're really a normal forest during the day. No animals or monsters, though."
As Ray whines as he walks in the woods, Vihera nods as he walks next door.
"Right. If nothing shows up like this, why don't we just get out of the woods now? You think you'll keep your health warm for the night? Or keep your body moving for the fight."
What Vihella is saying was bipolar, but I don't have to think which is Vihella's hope.
Because for Vihera, a combat maniac in the first place, he has more combat training in front of the woods than going through the woods with nothing like this.
Not to mention there's a lot of adventurers here who have that much strength besides the Rays.
... Although Ray didn't even know how many adventurers wanted to fight Vihera and show themselves losing.
Much time has passed since Vihella came to Gilm.
And if you look at the look of Vihera and the costumes of dancers and whores, the number of tangled hands is not enough... on the contrary, using both hands and feet is not enough at all.
That's why it's pretty well known that Vihera is strong.
Those who are invited to engage in mock warfare with Vihera like that and take on......
(You'll be there.)
I hate to be beaten up by Vihera, but instead such people can see Vihera's limbs up close.
It may also be possible to touch Vihella's limbs, depending on his or her strength.
It would be difficult to cut that temptation off if you were a man, if you were told you could withstand such temptations.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
What are you gonna do? and Ray opens his teasing mouth with a little thought to the roaring sound of Seto.
"Right, look around a little bit more, and then go back if there's nothing. I don't even feel like eating lunch in a place like this."
Normally, eating in the spring woods is a picnic experience.
But you can't do that in this Trent forest.... No, is it right that I'm not going to do it?
If it was enough to eat here, that was the honest thought I wanted to eat after I went out of the woods.
I'm guessing that Ray's thoughts are the same for the rest of us. I never speak out of disagreement.
When it comes to the act of eating, even Bune, greedy enough to line up with Ray and Seto, thinks so, so it shows how creepy the Trent Forest is.
Usually, a leaky day is a place Ray likes to slow down.
"Seems like there's no objection, why don't you walk around a little bit more"
Everyone follows Ray, who whines and walks out.
While walking in the woods, the perimeter alert was unbreakable Ray, but Seto's perception of danger is overwhelmingly quicker than he feels at the point where Seto is in the first place.
More than that, it was natural for me to really lose my mind.
"Oh?... hey, Ray"
Second, the marina opens her mouth.
"What's up?
"Look, that... don't you recognize me?
When Marina turns her gaze to those who are watching, there is a litter wrapped around a tree there.
The green violin looks nothing more than a normal violin, not even from Ray's eyes.
But if a dark elf marina familiar with the woods had found it, that definitely should have meant something.
It was Ray looking at the wax, but a few minutes went by and he shook his neck sideways.
"No, I don't know. What the hell is that?
Not just Ray, but Vihera, Büne and Seto also turn their gaze to the marina to encourage answers.
The marina, who got gazed at like that, opens her mouth in such a way that she can't help it.
"Look, when we came to this forest yesterday, the fekts who were running away were attacked by Trent before, and by a squirrel from behind, right?" This is a beard. "
"... this is it?
This was the first time Ray had a clear view of the pigeon, as he had left it entirely to the marina.
That's why there's no sense of reality anywhere when suddenly people hear that such an astigmatism has appeared in front of them.
Not to mention, that's how Ray and the others are in front of us right now, but they're not moving at all.
That's what it looks like.
(No, if Trent's identity is a normal tree, I guess this is a normal tree too)
I try to touch it with that in mind, but after all, the violin doesn't seem to move, especially when Ray touches it.
It's not part of the monster, let alone the body of the monster.
That's why I don't even think Ray missaw the marina.
I am familiar with plants as a dark elf and before becoming an Alliance Master, I have worked as an adventurer for many years to make multiple requests. He has also definitely gained a lot of knowledge as an Alliance Master.
And most importantly, Ray had no choice to doubt the Marina's words.
... Except for the story, of course, if it's clearly wrong, but it would be extremely unlikely to be.
"Hmm, touching it like this doesn't seem like it's any different than a normal one."
Vihera shrugs so, too, touching her.
Next to it, Bühne also touched the vihella to imitate it.
"Hmm?"
But like Ray and Vihera, I guess I don't understand if touching that vibration is really a monster.
With a small grunt, I lean my neck.
"So, what am I supposed to do with this violin? Should I take it for once?
"Right, I'd ask you if I could.... Oh, not just hang up in the right place for once, but as long as you can."
"... you got this twister?
"Yes."
Even if you look at the beard, its length is considerable.
Looking for a place that should also be called the root of the pod is sure to take a lot of time.
That's why there's no way we can turn down Marina's request that this Trent forest could be an important clue... after all, Ray was going to look for the roots.
