Life in the woods was relaxing and fun somewhere. There is a way to say "forest" in a bite. There seem to be a number of secret routes used by hunters and merchants, not streets.

Mimino, a halfling, has an extremely good sense of direction and moves on through the woods with no maps.

(Does it really fit...)

And I don't know, but I don't suspect anyone from the party, so it seems fine. [M] Well, there's nothing I can do besides believe it.

The meal focused on what was caught in the woods, where I was also active. You can find all the fruits, mushrooms, and wild grass you can eat in [Mori Luo Wan]. Tell Mr. Mimino that there are also herbivores growing to collect. "You know me well ~" is fun to get compliments on. I also collected the grass that Mr. Mimino doesn't know, but [Mori Luo Wan] does, for now. Maybe I can sell it.

It's just spices, salt, and alcohol are gone —— Mr. Dantes seems to like alcohol, swallowing it every night to the point of not getting chipped and drunk.

Such supplies of necessities could be purchased from the merchants we meet on Forest Road.

They are also merchants who do not or cannot use the streets again (...). He was a man who seemed to have a dark past behind him somewhere, or a cat beast. Of pedestrians carrying a backpack a lot bigger than their bodies. They were often moving on a few units, with Mr. Mimino and Mr. Dantes negotiating to get the goods.

Just —— life in this laid-back forest didn't last forever.

In the first place, members of the "Silver Balance" have destinations.

The Knight of Light Kingdom. To cure Mr. Dantes' petrification.

It also made sense to rush to the destination, and the members of the "Silver Balance" were quick to advance through the woods. My strength didn't follow, and I was going to have Mr. Dantes carry me for a little while, but in a few days my body was able to follow me, so I'm growing up too (Doya face).

"Don't you need my father's tambour anymore?

"Yes! I can walk a lot better now"

"Really..."

When I stretched my chest, Mr. Nong looked sad for some reason.

Hey, why... what if a little kid has a special sexuality that gets excited about being naughty? —— or something that I don't care about dying, Mr. Nong told me why.

"... the curse of petrification does not infect (depress) others. But many people hate it as if it's an infectious disease."

I mean, I don't care about petrification, but I'm glad I'm stuck on Mr. Dantes' back. No, yeah, that's the thing, isn't it? I knew it.

(Mm-hmm. I mean... right)

I noticed.

Not only was the subhuman element "Beast Man" and "Halfling" the subject of possible discrimination against Mr. Dantes himself.

(... nothing is said about my hair)

Dark-eyed by black hair, hated so much by parents and dukes —— hated enough, but no one would say anything because they know the horror of being discriminated against themselves.

I found out once again that they were very warm people.

I'm very blessed.

If I may...... my sister (...) Lark has never met such a lovely person...

"... Guys, don't go into the city today"

Early tomorrow morning, the fireworks are dulling and the white smoke is getting up, Mr. Mimino said there.

Everyone nods with a strange face. After all, I guess it takes preparation to enter a city with a lot of human race for them.

"Reggie. If you stay with us, they might say something to you... What do we do?

"Of course I'm coming with you"

"Hmm...... well"

"I mean, there's no destination... That's why I have to give back what you did to Mr. Mimino now. We need to get to the city."

The purpose of my life is not what it is now.

Hopefully, I'll have to meet Hinga old man's grandson and tell him about the old man's final years. Phosphorus (Rinkai) Demon Stone is still in the tool bag.

And... Lark.

I want to see her again. That's all, absolutely.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to stand alone in this world. For now, stabilizing your life is paramount.

"You don't have to worry about us, do you?

"That's not how..."

"But I'm glad you said so."

Mr. Mimino is grinning, but there,

"Hey, Mimino, come on, talk to me properly. I hate you in the city, Mon."

"Hey, Lykira!

Mimino is in a hurry for Lykira's words, but I know a lot about them.

"We'll find out sooner or later. You should be clear. And this kid..."

"Yeah, I know. The same thing could happen in the city because my dark hair has been hated by a lot of people and I almost got killed a few times."

Mr. Mimino hardened to my word, like he swallowed a stone. Not only her, but Mr. Nong as well. Mr. Dantes looked like he'd had a much more sinister cup of tea than usual, and Mr. Lykira looked painfully distracted —— oh, this guy cares about me, after all, even as he says mean things.

The "silver balance" is "noticeable" in the party itself. In the city of the human race. So my "dark hair, black eyes" might get my attention again. That's what he thinks I might not do if I acted alone. [M]

How clumsy this guy is. But Tundele, the fine macho beast man, is no thanksgiving.

"I'm fine, but on the contrary, I'm sorry if I bothered you"

When I lowered my head, my big palm was gently offered and pressed up my forehead.

"Don't worry about children. You just have to hide in an adult umbrella."

It was Mr. Dantes.

"... Reggie. You... I will protect you."

Mr. Mimino told me that as he tided his cheeks and moistened his eyes. This man seems to be no less tearful than me again.

"Don't cry, Mimino. I've had a shitty face since morning."

"Damn, this is because the smoke stained my eyes!

Rub your eyes with the mess and sleeves,

"All right, let's go!

Along the way, the "silver balance" was aimed at the "Euvermines", the territorial capital of the Duke of Ahenbach.
