Sanzen no Souru Supina

"Eh, missing?!"

Ashley blew the tea she had been drinking.

It was made by Athlei by drying the sprouts of trees and medicinal herbs.

It has a refreshing aroma and a taste that seems good for health.

Seasoned with a small amount of butter and salt.

Sugar, including substitutes, is out of stock.

"If you think you can't see... how long has it been since Snow disappeared?"

Ashley asked, stunned by too much.

Athlei came to soothe today's fatigue by eating dried meat and bean stew that had been simmered back with fresh water.

"I don't think it was three days ago...I have to say I don't know exactly... because I fell down the other day. "

Athlei tried to maintain the tone of the lieutenant.

I've been feeling good about my new wife's tone for a long time now, but it's hard to grasp the main points when polite and humble words are mixed.

It is better to speak as straightforward as possible without misunderstanding.

"Did you leave without saying anything?"

"No, there was a letter left behind. The spider sisters kept it."

Athelui offered this as the bark of a tree.

It is a species of birch (Dakekamba) commonly found in the plateau area.

Since the bark can be peeled as thin as paper, it is also said to be an elf letter.

I think you wrote it with charcoal.

It was a scratchy handwriting, and it said:

I want to calm myself down, so I'll be alone for a while.Don't look. Especially, Master... no Ashley. "

The master has a large bump from the top, indicating that it is a typo.

"The obvious upset appears in the text as well as the text.Besides, it looks like a letter left behind by the skin of a mountain birch... has been turned into a fairy elf. "

Athlei laughed bitterly at Ashley's assessment.

Indeed, he nods.

So? Ashley pushed ahead.

"Sion, who saw this, went looking for Snow.If I found it, I'd watch over it, so don't worry, I disappeared. "

"Did Theon... follow you?Did you let him go silently.... "

"At that time, there were no other people who could tear it apart, and what was that... His Highness wasn't very good at barracks and chores."

Athlei didn't say it was useless, but it did.

Indeed, Ashley and I agreed.

If you leave it to the torch, it will explode, and if you ask for laundry, it will improve the breathability of all clothes in an instant.

"But if Theon comes with me, there's nothing wrong with my safety.It's hard to find someone like her anywhere else in the world. "

Ashley knew him best when he fought behind his back.

"Besides, Snow was a child who could eat, wash, and do anything in the house.I also knew how to survive in the Trentrim forest.I don't know, maybe Theon will be more helpful by now. "

"Yeah, I didn't want to get in touch with you because I thought so."

"Well, then... isn't there a problem?I'll have to pick you up after a while. "

"But it is."

But?!

As soon as the unexpected story happened, Ashley stepped forward.

Yeah, and Ateli nodded.

"Ashley woke up yesterday. I can't let you two know this good news no matter what.So I tried to communicate with His Highness Zion using the talent of the admonition. "

"And yet?!"

"I can't reach you. I know you're here... but I can't even grab the exact coordinates.Somehow, the subject has become vague.It's like being blindfolded and relying on the signs to find someone. "

Midnight search, huh?

Exactly.

Ashley roared, "Wait a minute."

Ashley doesn't really understand how the paranormal ability of hearsay works, but what does it mean that a psychic like Athlei can't locate him?

Athlei is capable of communicating so clearly, even in the deepest depths of the water facility.

Well, what about Snow?

"Likewise, no, this one was definitely rejected."

"Rejected?! You mean you refused contact?!What the hell is that?! "

I don't know anymore.

Ashley scratched his head in confusion.

"So, by today, this kid..."

Athlei opened her chest and showed her.

Then, the creature that slept in the snow just sandwiched in the valley appeared.

"Tingling! Tingling, isn't it?!"

Ashley grabbed Sion's wizard gently to deal with the broken object.

When I wrapped it in my palm, I heard a slow but definite heartbeat.

As you close your ears, you hear a quiet breath of sleeping.

"Alive!"

"Yeah, I'm definitely alive.However, when I first flew in, I felt cold and crashed rather than flying. "

"Crash..."

I had a bad feeling about it.

Theon and Hilari, the wizard, have a strong relationship.

It even has a kind of inspiration that allows us to share and even interact with each other's senses.

Does that mean the tingling is out of order?

Ashley felt a tremor similar to chills running through her spine.

"What does Izuma say...?"

"It's not a good tendency. They've already started searching everywhere for bugs... but I feel like I'm off duty because I'm not feeling well either.Of course, I still don't have a clue. "

Ashley remembered Ele's story about the fact that it wasn't going well.

Inside Izma is already being devoured by emptiness.

Good luck, she was appreciating it.

"We need to find him soon."

"Not right away. The sun has already gone down.Besides, you've just returned from your expedition.It's yesterday's day of the ascending illness.Behaviour that is helpless and dark in places without land introspection leads to distress.It's not fashionable for a man who went looking for him to go missing. "

"The body is healing.Thanks to Asuka and Love. "

"What can you do by yourself?I can still tell from the battle, but this is not the case.It's a search, a search. We need to be ready to move the squad, and everyone can't move by your standards.We need rest and supplies. "

So what do you want me to do?

"Calm down, Ashley. You are the leader of this squad now.That's the virtue that keeps the team together.If you move and start acting helplessly, the squad will collapse. Calm down. "

Quiet, slowly, but strictly, Athlei said.

Ashley took a breath.

Indeed, Athlei was right.

Take a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, you were right, Ateloui."

"I knew you'd understand."

Ashley nodded at the seriousness of the light in Athlei's eyes.

"Tomorrow, we'll start the search with the sunrise. It's just...."

"You just say that our team's plight has not been solved.I've secured the water, but there's still food... and more? "

"There's a problem with the excrement. Not as much as food and water, but when it comes to hygiene, it's better to do it as soon as possible.It's quite a problem with more than twenty people, even if it's small. "

"Inside the palace I explored today, there were a number of things that seemed like it.I think we can fix the toilet problem. "

"Okay, let's solve these problems in parallel at the same time."

I see, Ashley was impressed.

It is not impossible to solve the problems of searching for Theon and Snow, securing food, and checking sewage facilities simultaneously.

First of all, the snowboards need food and drinking water.

They must be acting while thinking about replenishment, rest, and excretion.

In that case ─ ─ the overlapping parts of the team, Theon, and Snow's thoughts will always emerge.

It's similar to the way the creatures of the forest share the beast path.

In other words, you can explore this aerial garden while searching for the two of you, trample unknown areas, and fill in the blank parts of the map.

"Well, if that's the case, then we'll just have to organize an expedition."

"All right, let's do it. I've got a plan for troop formation."

Thus Ashley and Athlei decided on the personnel for the expedition.
