After finishing the face-to-face [repair] wounded in training, me and Garnett decided to take a leisurely walk down the mountain path away from the Knights headquarters.

The reason I visited the Knights headquarters is because I just wanted to make sure how much work was going on for everyone else, so staying meaninglessly long can be the opposite of annoying.

Nevertheless, I didn't have any specific plans as to where I was going next in Knights headquarters.

For a while I was just supposed to keep walking the mountain path comically.

"... Speaking of which, it's surprisingly unusual to go this way independently of work"

"I understand. I understand. Mostly it's our branch or the guild branch, because we only go by when the dungeon has business. The opposite is uncomfortable."

Chat with Garnett as he climbs the gentle slopes.

Downtown Green Hollow and the nearest dungeon's 'Day Clock Forest' … hence the mountain path, the only way to connect the 'Ark of Elements', is in the time period of noon, while many adventurers are constantly coming and going.

Back in the day, the "Sun Clock Forest" was also thought to be just a big haystack with different surroundings and vegetation, a roadless path to the extent that residents seeking medicinal herbs and mountain vegetables occasionally pass by.

Later, it turns out, in fact, that the 'Sun Clock Forest' was a dungeon worth the difficulty E rank, and it was just a mountain road that the runaway adventurers often visited to earn change, but still haven't had any maintenance.

The situation changed dramatically some time after I moved to Green Hollow to open an arms store.

At the time, it was thought to be an independent A-rank dungeon, the "Demon King's Castle area" stretching behind the "Millennium Corridor of Naruto" - because it was found that a hidden passage directly connected to that vast underground space existed in the "Forest of the Day Clock".

This soared the importance of Green Hollow and the 'Day Clock Forest', the fortress of the Golden Tooth Knights was built to become the front-line base of the Demon King's War, and after the war, the Adventurer's Guild branch was set up to become the front-line of exploration, with constant development repeated in both towns and forests.

Naturally, mountain roads connecting towns and dungeons were also the subject of development.

The shadows of when it was thin and bent and the scaffolding was bad are no longer anywhere.

The road width is so wide that large freight carriages can afford to be different, the ground is paved with hard, even soil, and the road continues straight from the edge of the town to the front of the 'Sun Clock Forest'.

"Me, you think every time you go through here. It doesn't take long for something to change, for better or worse."

Garnett walking next to her right squeaked smudgingly.

"Green Hollow Town has become much busier than it was when I arrived, and both this road and The Day Clock Forest have become much easier to walk. If it's good or bad, of course it's a good thing...... what's up?

I accidentally stretched my right hand on Garnett's face - the fingertips of the prosthetic limbs based on the doll's socket (...) and gently pulled the forehead around the top of my left eye.

Earlier injuries have healed without a trace.

I've never failed to block physical damage in [repair] before, so I don't have to bother checking, but I really wanted to make sure Garnett's face was clean.

For the record, this emotion, which I can be sure is definitely healing, is closer to a letter (...) than to a letter (...).

This is only a personal feeling, but it was becoming unnatural to think of the ability to evolve and develop under the influence of the alphazle as one's own genius.

Should I also say that the proportion of trust in a given ability is greater than confidence in self-polished strength?

This trend was getting a little stronger with the various truths surrounding the alphazle coming to light.

"No, it's nothing"

Mislead your true thoughts by smiling at the surprised garnet.

"When you say change, it's not long before humans change. I've changed a hell of a lot in the past year..."

"The only thing you've changed is your social status. Maybe the contents haven't changed at all. That's the kind of guy with the roots, so I think his position and title have changed so flashly."

Garnett tells me something that makes me tickle, and I accidentally cage my mouth.

It was as if a human being named me had been decent from the start - before I started a weapons store.

My consciousness is free of fine dust, but does it look that way from the Garnet's point of view?

While we were doing this, we had arrived at the end of a wide and beautifully maintained mountain road, that is, in front of the entrance to the 'Sun Clock Forest'.

If you descend from here, you will reach the Adventurer Guild Branch and the Hollow Bottom Fortress, as well as the Ark of Elements.

"What do we do? Because of this, you want me to keep my face on branches and branches, too?

When I asked casually, Garnett did a lot of thinking and then shook his neck small and sideways.

"... no, let's go to the 'back' a little bit more today"

"Back? Back of the mountain road than here..."

Although this mountain path is the only path leading from the city of Greenhollow to the 'Sun Clock Forest', it is not the only path that leads to the 'Sun Clock Forest'.

Even deeper into the mountains and deeper into the green than we are, the road has not yet reached maintenance.

Garnett apparently sensed with his expression that I wasn't interested in riding, and when he grabbed his left arm roughly, he started pulling.

"Isn't that nice? Sometimes go out with de (...) - (...) t (...) and (...) too."

"Oh...... hey! Don't pull it!
