The next morning.

While the examiners were preparing breakfast, Colette and Shreyne went to check the location.

"... what do you mean?

Colette, who arrived at the scene, murmured.

"What happened?

Shreyne, who couldn't confirm the Spirit as much as Colette, did.

Colette glanced at Schlein and looked around again.

"No, nothing."

"Why not?

Without knowing what Colette meant, Shreyne leaned her neck.

"Nothing. Not only are the spirits giving warning colors, but the loose spirits are clean and refreshing."

"What!?

Shreyn looked at Colette with a rather astonishing face.

The place where they are now is relatively shallow in the woods, close to the streets, given the feet of the adventurers.

Still, there is no doubt that there are no spirits in the forest at all.

"No matter how good the twins were, how many were there?

It is hard to imagine that there were a few spirits if the spirits were issuing warning colors.

Colette nodded to Shreyn's question.

"Yes, of course. It wasn't just a single unit, it was a whole bunch of them."

The fact that spirits give warning colors means that they react to something.

It is normal for powerful spirits to come together in groups and emit a warning colour if they are so powerful that they cannot be seen in a normal mode collet.

When I checked yesterday, there were many spirits gathered together, no different from their common sense.

But now the spirits are clean and gone.

The fact made Schlein look sharp.

"... an anomaly?

Definitely.

Colette also agreed with Shreyn's inquiry with a serious face.

At least Colette's common sense is that this is not normal.

I have plans after this, so why don't you come back early and talk to me?

"I see. That's better."

In Shreyn's words, Colette nodded in agreement and started walking back to where the assessors were.

"... I see. I don't care what you think."

Colette reported that he had joined his arms as he turned to traffic.

It's going to be a big problem to leave it like this, but considering the ritual, I can't stay here.

It's okay if it's about one more night, but if it gets worse, it gets tougher.

Seeing what to do, Sylvia turned to Colette.

"How long will it take?

"Honestly, I don't know. Even if the spirits return to that place after half a day, it's not what they used to be."

The plausible explanation convinced Sylvia.

Spirits with weak powers are not uniquely characterized.

Perhaps spirits can be distinguished from each other, but it is impossible for ordinary people to distinguish.

Of course, even if the missing spirits return, Colette doesn't know if it's the spirits that were originally there.

If it was true, it was Colette's true intention to stay here for a few days and observe the course.

That's why adults, including examiners, have become traffickers.

"... I can't help it. I can't stay here forever. Let's call for help."

When the examiner made his decision, he looked as if he had given up on others.

Asking someone is a means we don't want to take, if possible, because there is nothing else we can throw at ourselves.

However, I know that there is nothing I can do this time.

Floria, who had switched her head, looked at the aid and asked.

"So, who are you asking?

"Hmm, because it's about spirits. I can only think of Cecil and Alisa."

There are only two people who said that Kaiseki himself can be trusted and become familiar with spirits besides Colette.

All that remains is to ask the Crown for an investigation.

However, it seemed that it was the same for everyone but the examiner, and it was the only atmosphere.

"So what do we do? You're not even going to call an examiner?

Cecil and Alisa will probably be at the Lily Shrine, but you shouldn't go to the tower to study during the ceremony.

Someone else has to go and call, but it's not as far away as it's easy to go and come back, so someone who can use metastasis magic has to go.

It is only natural that Kouchi and Mitsuki should be able to use metamorphosis magic in the female formation, as well as Schlein and Sylvia.

Shreyne and Sylvia, who hadn't thought about Kouhi and Mitsuki from the beginning, looked at each other.

I wondered which way to go.

However, the consideration was wasted.

"Kouhi, can I ask you something?

Almost simultaneously with Shreyn and Sylvia facing each other, Kaosuke said so.

Of course, if you are asked to study, Kouchi will not answer no.

"Yes"

When Kouhi replied, Sylvia looked surprised and saw the examiner.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, and I need you to call Lik's party. Of course, if they catch me."

The more people you take, the more difficult it becomes to transfer magic.

Shreyne and Sylvia have enough power to bring Cecil and Alisa, and all of Lik's parties, but Kouhi is better off thinking about the rest.

Sylvia was convinced by his thoughtful words.

Once you decide who to call, the rest is quick.

Well then, I'll go.

Kouhi disappeared from the camp in such a way that everyone in the camp would see him off.

I couldn't tie Kaiseki to this spot, so I flew quickly to the western city using transfer magic.

Then you will use the transfer gate to go to the Amamiya Tower and bring your own members.

I don't know if I can catch him right away, but if he can't take half a day, he tells me to come back.

At that time, it is also possible that different results have been obtained, so a different policy is to be considered.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Fortunately, Cecil, Alisa, and Lik's party seemed to have caught up quickly, and Kouhi brought them all back in less than half a day.

Regardless of Cecil and Alisa, it seemed that the Likes had just finished their request and were on vacation, and there were no other plans.

"So, I was brought here without telling you, what are you up to?

Lik asked the examiner if it was because Kouchi forced him to bring him here, and he seemed a little upset.

Kouchi didn't give much of an explanation along the way, just because Kaiseki was calling for it.

I began explaining to Rikki that it would be his role to explain the study aide, which seemed to be Kouhi.

They are the best adventurers there to talk to.

It seemed to understand that something strange was happening, and I listened with a serious face.

"... I mean, we just have to stay here for a few days and see what happens?

"Well, to put it simply, that's what it is."

The party members, including Lik, were satisfied with the nodding examination.

If you ask me what happened, I can understand why you brought me here so violently.

It's not an emergency right now, but it's definitely a strange situation.

If rewards are paid properly, it is inevitable to act as an adventurer.
