Master of the brave.

Late at night, Poulat, the two of Winn and Letty in the early morning and the three of them who set the watch order, cared about the smell of chicken manure but hid in the shade of a chicken hut that was invisible from the position of the field.

"Are you here..."

Poulat, wrapped in a blanket and watching over the field all the time, gently rocked Winn's body sleeping next door so as not to make a sound.

"Hey, get up. Looks like a customer's here. Keep Letty awake too."

Wynn, wrapped in a blanket and asleep, just like Poulat, wakes up Letty softly

Winn also peeks from next to Poulat looking in the direction of the field from behind the chicken hut.

I do see a small figure in the field.

I can't turn on the light because it's not good enough to find out I'm sticking it up to the killer.

Fortunately, the weather was good tonight, and thanks to the fact that the moon was out, I could hardly recognize it as a shadow.

(Was he still a kid in the Glades...)

From the back length of the shadow, isn't it about the same age as Letty?

Are you not satisfied with food and stealing vegetables from the field?

I crawl on all fours to the ground and think for a moment of overlooking Letty peeking under Winn.

(but hey...... so you don't know how the footprints were disappearing)

I put Letty, who fell asleep, in the cabin and took Winn's guide to the place in the footprint that it was in the field.

"Here we go, Wynn."

Poulat did leave a small footprint when he saw it.

"It's going towards the river that's flowing over there. I thought I'd follow you, but I thought I'd better not go alone."

"Oh, I'm not wrong about that."

Encourage Winn to point in the direction the river is flowing, and the two of us follow in the footsteps.

Going out onto the meadows a little further, it was slightly hilly.

Footprints are crossing there towards the river.

"It's the opposite of Simlug, isn't it?"

"Right...... did you go all the way around not to find the hill and head down the river to the ghetto? Or maybe there's a village nearby, and the kid there is coming to steal it."

"There's a village?

"There are villages all around the city."

of the hill - but not at great height - and when I stood at the top, I saw the river.

The river was wide to the extent that it could not be crossed without a bridge, and the water was flowing loosely.

"Suddenly the stride is widening. I'm running from here."

The small footprint continued in a straight line towards the river.

Winn follows in its footsteps.

Poulat also walked out after him, thinking he was a child at that point.

"Ah."

Winn raises his voice unexpectedly.

"What's up?

"My footprints are missing..."

When Winn arrived at the place where he was standing, his footprints were indeed interrupted.

It's a few meters to the river.

"You're not gonna find any footprints anywhere, are you?

"What do you mean?

The two of us relied on the lights of the lit firewood to examine the area without neighborhood but could not find any clues that would reveal it.

(I can jump out now and seize it...)

But if you don't know how you disappeared, you can't even get your hands on the detour.

Just that Poulat has never heard of it, and maybe there are demons with those abilities.

Most of all, a demon to the point of stealing vegetables and eggs wouldn't be a great deal of strength.

But if you let them get away with it, you can't even give information to the adventurers who are supposed to take over the crusade.

Information becomes gold.

If it is also information that will be beneficial to the crusade, the rewards may be multiplied.

"We'll follow him where he ran off to."

Winn and Letty nodded at Poulat's words.

The little shadow seems to have got the harvest of the day. Walk out of the field with Yota Yota.

Looks like he's still going for the hills.

So much so that the shadow plunged into the middle belly that the three came out of the shadow of the chicken hut where they were lurking.

Keep your posture low and follow carefully to avoid being noticed.

I plugged it into the field.

Apparently, the little shadow's prey today is cabbage.

Also good for soup utensils, fermented with salt and spices and commonly used in preserved foods.

The place where the cabbage had been planted was on a large leaf with moss that, if fried, would be a good wound medicine.

"If we climb through the hills, it's like we're gonna run, so let's hurry."

Thanks to Yotayota's footsteps, the small shadow was walking fairly slowly, but climbing to the top of the hill a few more places.

Eventually a small figure reaches the top of the hill.

When the shadow took a breath, it seemed to run across the hill - towards the river.

"Run!"

Together with Poulat's sharp, small decree, the three run off.

Both Winn and Letty are running at speeds that could have outdone Poulat with early morning running results.

We immediately reached the top of the hill.

And...

"Hey, no..."

A pair of white wings growing on the back of the shadow - illuminated by the moonlight, with bright white wings powerfully winged and little figures floating into the sky.

"... Wingman. I've read it in books."

Winn groaned in a potpourri.

people living in mountainous and forest areas.

Its greatest feature is the pair of wings growing on its back. Other than that, it's a species that has almost the same appearance as humans.

"What, here..."

The Wingman was a race with mighty magic, and in some parts of the country was one of so many powerful races as to be worshipped by God from man.

But it was damaged to the point of devastation by the Demons in the ancient days of Tai, and it was reduced in number.

Rumor has it that there are also villages that interact with the wingmen...

"I see. You were using it to aid the hills when you were running. But I hope the mystery of the footprint has been solved."

"You can't chase me..."

"Even if you take over in the Adventurer Guild, was the killer a wingman... can you believe it"

Winn and Poulat stood up flashly as they spoke with a mixed voice of giving up.

An encounter with a species that seems to have become half legendary - or even flew through the sky, I can't go after it any further.

Apparently they're flying away for a forest on the river.

Like running and chasing, it was already flying across the river and it was difficult.

"Should I have caught you before I flew..."

"But if you read it in a book, the wingman is very strong."

"... so you're saying you weren't worshipped like God"

The shadow was small, so I guess he's a child, albeit a wingman.

But if we get the kid, this time an adult wingman might try to take it back.

"What's going on?

I heard Letty wondering as she saw what she was thinking and made sure Letty peeked into the faces of the two of them, saying that Winn and Poulat weren't ah and no.

"People flying in the sky, aren't you going after them?

"I wish they'd fly in the sky, like chasing me."

"I knew we'd have to stick around and catch him trying to steal it."

"But even if you try to catch me, you can fly through the sky, right?

"Create a trap or something"

"Um, but so, what if I even let you get hurt? I figured I'd have to ask a veteran adventurer."

"Yeah? We can catch them, too. 'Cause I'm gonna talk to Mr. Randy, and I'm gonna get the rest of the day off."

"You're not going after me?

Letty asked the same question again for both of us.

"If it's flying, and it's so dark to chase,"

Winn answered Letty's question instead of Poulat, who has his head on what to do.

The river is quite wide.

To cross to the other shore, the flow is slow but I don't know how deep the water is.

Even if you run, it's too dangerous not to see your feet in this darkness.

"Then why don't you fly?"

"Huh?"

Winn listened back without understanding what Letty was saying.

Poulat also turns his gaze to Letty.

"Don't fly, brother."

Letty said it again.

At the same time Winn and Poulat felt the wind stroking their cheeks.

Letty smiles with a smile when she sees Winn.

Poulat doesn't think, he sees that smile.

When Winn went down on his own, he had nothing to show.

Its expression, with a puppet-like, right-faced letti smiling, exuded a flamboyant and fantastic beauty, as if it were spirits seen in paintings painted by well-known artists.

Even the moonlight that keeps illuminating the three of them from the top feels as if they are contracting under Letty.

No, Letty's body actually looked glowing in the moonlight.

Poulat accidentally rubs his eyes trying to revisit Letty - the floating feeling he feels.

"" Wow!?

Three bodies were rising into the night sky.
