Then me and Garnett picked up lunch in the dining room and decided to take a break there for a while before leaving HQ.

"The White Wolf's, are you going back to the store now?

"No, I need to stop by the Hollow Bottom Branch before I do. It's not a big deal, but I want to do it before I forget it."

I was about to leave the dining room with a casual conversation, and Sylvia, who was cleaning up after me, ran over with Patapata.

"Mr. Luke. Are you going to the 'Day Clock Forest' now? Then I'd like to ask you a favor."

"What's up? I don't mind if I do it at last."

"Actually, Sakura and Leila were asking me for lunch. We're both supposed to be in the square in front of the entrance to The Day Clock Forest, so could you take it?

"Leila? How could you be with Sakura again..."

Honestly, it's a pretty unexpected combination.

Sure, it was Layla's day off, but what the hell kind of connection was it to act with Sakura?

Though it's strange, they're not the kind of people that cause any problems, so there doesn't seem to be any particular need to worry.

"Okay, the square would be just the way to go."

"Thank you. Oh, here's a drink..."

I thought Sylvia would know what those two were doing, but then all you have to do is ask the two of them locally.

Leaving Knights headquarters, he climbs the slopes in the mountains where he is accustomed to walking.

"I'm going to make it, but this place has changed a lot compared to the first one."

Garnett squeaks smudgingly as she looks around.

The first was a year before we came to Green Hollow.

At the time, the dungeon "The Forest of the Day Clock" was still poorly known, and furthermore the existence of the "Demon King's Castle area" beneath it was not known, so not many people went through this ramp.

I remember the extent to which the inhabitants of the town and the runaway adventurers would pass when they went to the 'Sun Clock Forest' to pick up weed and medicinal herbs, and the atmosphere was just like ramps in the mountains.

But now it was completely beautifully maintained, and the left and right bushes of the road were in order, and the outlook was considerably better.

"Oh, I guess I'm going to keep changing a little bit. I don't know if that's a good thing."

"You're not good or bad. It doesn't change anything. It's weirder. Let's just sit back and hang out."

Eventually you finish climbing a well-maintained ramp and reach in front of the 'Day and Clock Forest'.

This dungeon is called an open type, and it looks like a hobby of five-tier hierarchies.

The place where Sakura and Layla are supposed to be waiting is not so much a square cut just near the entrance to the dungeon - it's simply a space of nothing where the grass has been taken away.

Originally prepared as a storage area for supplies when developing the path inside the "Sun Clock Forest," it is now used as a kind of square or park...

"Whoa, there he is. I see, you know what?"

Acknowledging the appearance of Sakura and Leila behind the square. No, Garnett laughed convincingly.

Then I immediately understand the situation.

Sakura and Leila were each dressed in moveable clothing, with wooden practice swords in their hands, meeting each other across the street.

Technically, it's an atmosphere where Leila borrows her breasts from Sakura, the skilled swordsman, to train her sword.

"Hey, both of you. Why don't we just take a break?

As I approached him with my voice up, they all gave me a surprised look and then each reacted differently.

Leila looks away from Sakura with a smile on her face, looking awkward and embarrassed.

It was a well-understood reaction between the two perceptions.

"This is Lord Luke. Give me a break. Did you bring Sylvia what you asked for?"

"You got lunch and drinks for two, right? It's rare that Layla is a special training..."

"... Yes, I am. That's what I'm saying."

Even though she hasn't said anything yet from this one, Leila started talking with a discretionary attitude.

"As I worked out the skills I was given, I also wanted to build my strength. Because you won't be able to perform better without building any skills, and your strength is a must to do anything"

The reason why Layla is working herself out is obvious without asking.

Travis, a thinker...... to make it easier for that man, who has avoided young women for such reasons as' he may be hurt by too much power ', to accept himself.

Travis promised me that he would sincerely confront Leila's feelings, but he's a muscler who's been distancing himself from the opposite sex for over fifteen years.

To carry things well, you need to pack the distance from your side as well - I'm sure you're thinking about that.

"If this is the case, I should have loaded up my workouts from the time I was home. Maybe you shouldn't have kept your distance just because you're not willing to be a knight"

"Is it the Heindman family workout? Maybe it's a loss not to take it."

Garnett told me that from the side, and Leila turned an unpleasant gaze on whether she felt bewitched or not, but quickly loosened her attitude when she realized it was a misunderstanding.

The look Garnett had on his face was rather full of empathy and convincing of Leila.

"I thought that would be enough, but if I opened the lid, I'd be in a hurry because I'm not strong enough at all right now... I'm talking about getting stuck."

"... I don't think you and I have a very different motive. Speaking of which, you were looking for a way to be strong in the short term, too, weren't you? Have you achieved anything?

"Heh? Uh, no, there is, but you can still say it. Eh..."

A garnet that overtly clouds words.

That method is a substitute that has not yet been reported to the Royal Palace, and yet the method is the method, so it is not yet a good stage to divulge information to the outside world.

But in Garnett's case, there was a much bigger reason than that, and it just seemed hesitant to explain.

Specifically, around my appearance during activation.

"Lord Luke, what about the truth?

Sakura sneaks up on me with interest.

I returned the answer with a bitter smile as I watched Leila's pursuit of (...) J (...) J (...) Garnet.

"Of course it's a huge success. See you soon for more details... huh?
