Manuel the Demon Emperor, Oswald the Martial God, we just left the village when we were ready.
Old and young, a total of six brave men go down a roadless path in the woods.
"It's not where Vampire Road lives. When I flew up to the village, I saw an ancient castle that looked evil at the end of the village. Vampires are good looking. Perhaps that's where Negijo is."
These are the words Manuel the Demon Emperor said before he left the village.
Support for the two arrived unexpectedly early because they flew from the city of Lindbergh to the village in the magic of Manuel's [Fast Flight (Hawk Flight)].
Manuel was bogged down with "Cedric's kid insulted me," etc., but I couldn't blame Cedric for missing the expected time of arrival because I didn't expect him to make such a shortcut either.
Incidentally, if you can't fly with that magic all the way to the ancient castle, you can manage to carry about one person, but it's very impossible to put together six people, which is the performance common to the flying magic of that hand.
And even the magic of [flight (flight)], one step below [high-speed flight (hawk flight)], is the advanced magic of the wind attribute, and no one in our line can use it except Manuel, who has the two names "Demon Emperor”.
That's why we were on foot to that ancient castle where we know where we're going.
"But Manuel's grandfather, he said 'obnoxious old castle', but why did you think it was obnoxious?
Ask Manuel a bumpy question as Rio jumps right over the roots of a thick tree.
By the way, Rio, I decided I wasn't kellogging about the stand-up earlier, and I was just getting along with Manuel.
Fast switching around here is Rio's advantage.
And Manuel, on the other hand, answers as he deals with his white beard.
"Hey, I can only say that's obviously demonic, Miss Rio. Well, you'll see in a while."
"Really?
"Oh. That was a demon, for sure"
To Manuel's words, “Martial God” Oswald also agrees with few words.
Apparently, it's so obnoxious.
Walking like that for a while.
Eventually I came to a place where I could see what they were saying.
And when I saw it, Iris, Mayfa, my three...
"Ugh... this is demonic"
"... Sure, I can only say this is demonic"
"Oh, you're evil..."
That being said, I was brilliantly in agreement with the opinion of the two backup demon king hunters.
What happened ahead as we went through the woods was there was a very demonic forest.
Specifically, how demonic is it that trees suddenly shrivel, rot, discolour, or twisted from a point beyond a certain line?
And from the branches of rotten and broken trees were dripping like snug mycelium, and there were many spooky lizards of bulk growing in the branches and trunks of trees.
Quite frankly, if I did it, it would be awkward.
It is not the appearance of the usual forest trees.
One more thing.
From that line forward, there was also a blatantly thick fog.
It's not like blocking your sight, it's a fog in a low position that crawls at your feet, but the fog makes strange movements that sometimes make it creepy.
Nor did this appear to be a naturally occurring phenomenon.
"Hey, like I said, Miss Rio?
"Yeah. I finally understand what Grandpa Manuel is saying. This is obviously demonic."
"But it's a cockroach threat. Don't be afraid. Let's move on."
"I'm not afraid to notice anything."
Rio and Manuel follow as “Martial God” Oswald moves ahead.
I also took Iris and Mayfa and stepped into a freakishly blatantly demonic forest.
"Um, Doctor... Can I hold your hand..."
The frightened Illis leans softly against me, looking around in awe.
"Oh. Here's the deal"
"Ha, yes...... eheh"
When I grabbed Illis' left hand gently with my right hand, Illis wrapped his own arm around my arm, trying to cuddle him and leaned over.
... Once again, I don't feel like a newlywed couple.
Is this good socially?
When I think I have Manuel or Oswald's eyes, I'm still worried about that.
"... brother, I'm scared too, so I want you to hold my hand"
From the left, on the other hand, Mayfa said so and peered into my face.
Hmm......?
"This is what Mayfa was like, shouldn't she be okay? I know you're scared of Iris."
"... that's not true.... If your brother doesn't hold my hand, I could be horrible and little.... then the trouble is you have to take care of me, brother."
"What's the rationale for that? Well, not as good as holding hands, but when it comes to battle, let it go. And Iris."
"" Yes ""
Iris, Mayfa returns an honest reply.
And it wasn't just Illis, Mayfa started hugging me in my arms, and my arms were completely buried.
Well I guess the production is still ahead of us, and I don't think it's okay because it makes no sense to get serious in vain, but you're not nervous nonetheless...
Meanwhile, Rio, who was watching that in front of him, pointing his mouth just a little.
"Eh, you did good, those guys"
I asked that Rio how Manuel, who was walking next door, was half frightened.
"... Noh, Miss Rio. What does it have to do with you and that little boy named Brett? The child said it was a relationship between the teacher and the teacher, but isn't that impossible?
"Yeah? Nothing normal. We've always lived with your brother. Because you and your brother are like family."
"My family's... What do you think, Oswald's?
"I don't care if you ask me. But at least I don't see how my daughters hate it. There won't be a problem."
"Your Lord is as crusty as ever..."
Manuel's attitude was that he would not fall to his heart, while Oswald's attitude was that he would leave me alone.
Even so, they still don't look like much of a normal teacher-teacher-child relationship.
But now that I don't care, I decided to let it pass with a strange face.
While we had that exchange, our line proceeded through the strange woods.
Eventually, I heard something like an animal roar from somewhere.
Not one, more than one.
And...
─ ─ Aww, ooh, ooh, ooh!
Many wolf howls echo.
Inform intruders into the territory, as if it were a signal.
Manuel, hearing it, laughs cheerfully.
"Well, I guess I'll leave the guard dog or so. - Look, he's out."
From beyond the strange woodland trees emerged one wolf after another, united and with red glowing eyes.
