I remember the other day about the girl I met at River End.

Iris is consistent with what the villagers have told him.

Of course, that's all Iris-Devil, I can't make a decision...

I can't ignore the discomfort I felt then.

I'm a normal girl on the outside...

The contents are heterogeneous, like hiding sharp fangs. Such a feeling.

It's impossible to think normally.

What a coincidence.

Still, I can't abandon the possibility...

"Nyah... Rain?

"Huh?"

"What's going on? Don't you look like that?

Canade frowned and let him describe his difficult face.

"Uh..."

"Maybe you have something on your mind?

That's what Cell's been asking.

Sharp.

I guess I spotted my change and came to that conclusion.

Well, what do we do?

If you give out uncertain information, it can confuse you.

However, if the Iris thing is important information, it can sometimes develop irrevocably by sparing it.

"... this is an unfounded story. Still, we'll talk about it for once."

After thinking about it, I decided to tell you about Illis.

Although it could have confused me...

Still, now, I decided it wasn't a good time to spare it.

"... and that's why"

I told the two of you about Iris.

"I see... the girl we met at River End,"

"Nyah... Rayne, I can't believe you're doing that at night... Nyah"

Cel nodded quietly, and Canade, for some reason, turned to Zito's eyes.

That's not what I'm saying, so I don't want you to look at me like that.

For once, we're serious now, aren't we?

"What do you think?

I asked the cell.

"Well... from what I've heard, it doesn't make any particular sense. I just stumbled upon a girl who matched her traits. The timing is too good, so I'm just being special and conscious."

"Oh well..."

"... that's what I would normally say"

Cell hung up his words there once, pinching between them like he thought.

Slightly, I open my mouth again.

"It might be worth looking into."

"You believe me?

"Now, I want any information. I don't have many leads, so if I can identify myself, I'd like to bet on a few possibilities. And..."

"And?"

"If you say so, you can believe it to some extent."

"Rain, did you win Cell's trust so quickly? Yikes... as always, that's how girls like you."

So why are you staring?

"hehe, don't worry"

Cell smiles slightly at Canade, who somehow seems grumpy.

"I didn't trust his personality. Something I just made a brief journey and haven't allowed that much attention yet"

"Nha? Then why?

"I decided to believe in power, not his character."

Now, Cell turned his grin to this one.

"We follow many of the most powerful species… Rain's power is real. I'm on guard too because Rain is on guard like that. That's what I'm saying."

"I see...... hmm. Glad to hear about Rayne, but, you know, I feel like we're getting along somewhere and I'm in a hurry..."

What's the rush?

Canade these days, I feel a little strange.

"Phew."

Cell laughs small, understanding what Canade thinks.

"Don't worry. Simply said, I trust power. I'm not trying to get my hands on it."

"Ha, ha, ha...?

"That's easy to understand, but it doesn't seem to tell the truth."

"That's right..."

"I don't know what I can do, but I'll back you up"

"Wow...... thanks! Cell's a good guy."

I don't know, but friendship was bonded.

"For now... after this, what do we do?

"Right... I need to talk to you about Rain, so for once, I just want to get back to River End..."

"The interview isn't completely over yet."

I went around talking to the survivors...

Some of them were heartbroken and unable to listen properly just because they were frightened.

Maybe that kind of person has important information.

With that in mind, I wonder if we should stop gathering information here.

"Do you want to split it between the two hands? A group that continues to collect information here and a group that explores the River End"

"... let's not do that"

After a little thought, Cell shook his head sideways.

"The enemy must have tremendous power. In my imagination, perhaps…"

"The most powerful species......?

"Yeah, right."

I had heard from the survivors and came to that possibility.

Though a peripheral village, I can't normally destroy one whole thing.

They also said the adventurer was staying, but I hear it was as if he didn't get his teeth up.

In fact, I haven't seen the village of Pagos...

From what I've heard, they say that there are claw marks of disaster, just like they were in a massive natural disaster.

Something that can exercise such bullshit power.

The possibility of the strongest species is intense.

"If it's the most powerful species, it's not a good idea to split the party. Though crusading is not the goal... I think we should avoid the danger."

"Well...... if Illis is the killer, don't be bad if you run into him"

"I'll report to the guild that the killer candidate girl is at River End along with the information I got from this interview. Now, I don't think that's a problem. We have limited time, and we should do the River End investigation only after the investigation here is complete."

"Okay, so let's do it"

"Nah... after all, what do you mean?

Canade was turning her eyes gently.

He's got a fever for wisdom in his current conversation.

Nothing, I haven't talked about it very hard...

Should I let him study some more?

"First of all, keep investigating here."

"I see! What am I supposed to do?

"Right..."

Except in part, I could hear the circumstances from the villagers in Pagos.

The next course of action is…

"Whoa."

A familiar voice.

Looking back, there was an Axe figure.

He's in a hurry, and he's running over here.

"What's going on? What about exploring the surroundings?

"Maybe you found something?

"No, we haven't found anything."

"... then why did you come back?

"Oh, no. I have a few things to do, and I thought I should tell you right away..."

Stunned by the cell, Axe made excuses everywhere.

It's laid on my ass...

"A little something? What could that be?

"Uh... you're actually quicker to look at. Come here, please."

"Ah... a little?

Axe pulled the cell's hand.

In that state, look here.

"Here. Rain and Canade, come quick, too."

"Where are you going?

"It's the entrance to the village. They're C-ranked, so I think you'll see."

What is it about?

Though I doubt it, now I've decided to do exactly what Axe says.

With Canade, who also tilts his little neck, he heads to the entrance to the village.

Then there he was...

"Leave it to me. I'll get rid of you if you show up here, just like I did in Pagos."

"Whoa, that's brave!

"How can I count on you"

"I was frightened if that demon came after me, but now I can rest assured"

Surrounded by villagers to be admired were… Arios and his people.
