37. Search for scouting members 2

As I walked through the woods, I came out somewhat open. However, even if it's an open place, it just leaves the trees, and there's a cliff ahead... "

"... let's take a break around here"

That's what Mr. Gentz said, so I decided to take a break here. I hung myself on the rock that was rolling nearby. And when she took a breath of water from her water bottle, Ms. Gentz and the others did something similar.

"It looks like it's going to be hard to get back if you don't go back soon..."

That's right.

Well then, are you going back now?

“That's right. It might be hard to rendezvous because we have very few clues.”

That being said, have you heard where we are building our base?

"I've heard that before, but that's where we stopped the carriage."

“What do you mean?”

There was no one at the base I was listening to. Is it possible that someone came to report it?

"For the time being, adventurers who came back from scouting told me that they had established a base where the carriage was stopped, but because the Goblin settlement is large, I also heard that they move when something happens."

Huh? That's...

“Yes, I don't know what happened, but I think we're in a situation where we have to move.”

But I didn't hear anything there, but you didn't tell me?

“Yes, I might say, but I didn't tell them we might have a base. The adventurers who came to tell the guild that it might be dangerous to build a base with the current number of people, because they said that they were more likely to investigate the village while moving.”

"... I see."

Well, I didn't tell you the lies, but it turns out that scouting alone was too risky.

“Maybe the scout member will come to the location where the guild told him it was based?”

"It's possible, but I'm looking for it just in case." At the same time, I hope that the number of goblins will be reduced a little bit, and there are some parts where I asked other adventurers to search without risk. "

I'm a guild worker, so I guess you're thinking about a lot of things? But why did you tell us? I thought so.

“Then why did you tell us?”

"... somehow. Maybe it's just me, but don't feel like something bad is going to happen."

When I heard the story, I felt that something really bad was going to happen. In the first place, even the number of goblins defeated on the road was quite high. I heard from the guild that there were over a thousand of them, but they were defeating them in the middle of the road. "I've encountered quite a bit of it..."

"It might be really bad for us to say that to Mr. Gentz..."

and Mr. Zeros muttered that.
