... live free!

We were on our way up the cliff, but the place we were in was a valley kind of place, so we were supposed to make quite a detour to that place. I ran into a goblin on the road, but that wasn't a big deal, but when Youre pulled out the dagger, his torso was broken and useless, so I was to lend him the dagger abruptly.

Did Onoma and the others buy me a new dagger that Youre had? Sounds like a dagger but seemed to ketch a good price and it was pretty crude stuff. Maybe you bought disposables? I think so. It took a long time for that to happen, but I got to where Youre ran into the oak.

"Probably around here"

I think the place Yua said that was, well, like, in the woods that I often look at, but the ground was decided or the trees were pretty broken. I think Yua was right.

"Yeah, sounds like it.... before we explore this neighborhood? It's about noon, and this time, I don't know when I'll be able to tummy."

I was a little surprised when I said that and gave Yua dried meat, but she received it with a bitter laugh. Then I took the dried meat out too and started eating it.

After a light lunch like that, I followed the broken trees and the footprints on the ground and went out to the open place.

It's a cliff.

"Yeah. Sure it was that way? The direction we ran..."

When I said that and I saw Yua gaze at him, on the ground, there were huge footprints and some following.

"Moving on?

I don't know what lies ahead. I asked Yua to make sure it was okay.

"... yeah"

Yua, on the other hand, nodded a little while but decided to be ready, and walked out to those who were following in the footsteps, so I also walked to those who were following in the footsteps as I lined up next to Yua, wary of the surroundings.

Then where there was the battle. It looks like Youre probably dropped around here and the number of footprints is decreasing. Then the footprints continued uninterrupted into the woods.

I appreciate the fact that the footprints are tight saves me the trouble of looking, but that means this ground is soft, and now Yua is about to fall after being caught several times on her feet. They who had fled can also be seen with marks like they had fallen on several occasions and with marks like they had fought. For once, they seem to have helped each other and escaped. To Youre, I didn't do that... Red blood stains were falling where they thought they fought as they walked forward with that in mind. That follows their escape direction.

"Looks like someone got hurt here."

"Yeah......"

It was so snort yua, but the expression is a little strong. I don't know they might not be alive, but I think Yua thought so too. Look at these bloodstains. Maybe really... Maybe he thinks. Worst case scenario is I might see their bodies, so if you just saw blood, I'd like you to behave more temperamentally... is that hard? And that's what I thought.

"Yua, are you okay?

"Yeah. It's okay."

"... could something worse be going on ahead?

"I'm ready, because I am. So I want to know exactly what happened."

And Yua has a verse that she thinks she needs to know exactly what happened. I don't even think I need to know. But for once, it's Yua's party......

"Yes, you can't, don't you? Because I'm here, too."

"Yeah. Thanks. But I'm the one who's involved with Lena..."

"You don't have to worry about that, let's move on?

"Yeah."

That's how we started walking in the footsteps.
