Rio realizes that the branches of the streets, those gathered on the path in the direction of progress, are yesterday's female knights. Naturally, the female knights were also in sight about Rio and the others. Elena walks out of it and approaches the Rio's.

What is it?

Rio thinks so, looking to Elena as she approaches. Honestly, I got a little wary, but it's also unnatural to turn around here all of a sudden. Instead, they must be called out and stopped.

I haven't seen you yesterday.

When Elena reached a certain distance, she spoke to Rio.

"Thanks for that verse."

Rio responds without difficulty.

"Sorry, but the streets over there are closed to traffic. Which way are you headed?

Elena suddenly asked Rio.

"It's the opposite street we're going to, but is it off-limits? Why?"

When Rio tells a lie, he asks why it is closed to traffic.

"It has to do with the search for example-stripping. I can't say any more. Well, it's none of your business going down the opposite street. Bye."

Elena answers softly and goes straight back to where the female knights are.

(You mean seal off the streets because stripping is dangerous? I'm not sure)

Rio was looking at Elena's back, wondering what was going on. Then...

"... Um, Master Hart. Aren't we going down the southwest street?

Flora speaks horribly from behind Rio.

"If the streets are blocked, you can't push them through either. It's a little cumbersome, but let's just take the southeast street and take the street off to the southwest in the right place"

Rio sighed small and presented a compromise.

"But is it okay? The streets are blocked, but they're moving on..."

Flora seemed slightly confused about whether the roots were serious or sneaking through a restricted area. As for Rio, I've ignored the streets many times during the time I got here, so it's now time to worry about that. Nevertheless, the difference that it is clearly closed to traffic may be an element that cannot be ignored for Flora.

"... I'm probably wary of stripping, and I think there's some kind of maneuver, but the scope of action should be limited. Keep your distance enough so you don't get annoyed before joining the southwest streets. Well, think of it as a roundabout. There's no way out."

Rio looks up into the sky and talks like he's in trouble somewhere. I didn't dare touch the core of the problem because I thought reopening it grandiously or giving a clever explanation that would only unnecessarily stir Flora's resistance.

Attempting to rendezvous with the southwestern streets closer to where they were originally, it is difficult to keep a moderate distance before heading because of the risk of engaging with the knights in the operation. It got a little troublesome, but not particularly obstructive.

"Yes, I understand"

Flora chuckled, honestly accepting Rio's explanation.

"Well, shall we go?"

As such, Rio and the others walk to the southeastern streets. On the other hand, Elena was back where the female knights were gathered...

"... is this it?

Asked Lucci, one man hiding in a tree that was soaring in the woods on his right.

"Oh, you're doing great. I need help, too. I don't care if you let me go."

When Lucci says so, he turns his heel back and heads to the back of the woods.

"Become, hey!?

Elena panicked and spoke to Lucci.

"Am I?"

Looking back like a hundred million bucks, Lucci...

"I told you I needed something. Even if you're there, there's nothing more to do. You can go back to the inn for anything. Bye."

That's what I said, and now it's time to walk away into the East Forest.

"What is it?"

Elena blushes with her teeth. The job Elena and the others asked for was to get Rio and the others to the southeast streets, and nothing else has been told. I had a strange heartbeat. The same is true of her men.

"Captain"

The female knights bewildered and call Elena's name. I guess you're asking for a decision on what to do.

"... it's possible they're up to something, but there's too little information. Both of you, come to Master Silvi and explain the situation. You said you could go back to the inn. Hurry up."

Although Elena has patrolled, she immediately gives instructions to her men.

"How about the captain and the rest of us?

One of the female knights -, the deputy captain of the unit asks in a hard voice.

"I'll go into the woods. Whether Master Silvi will be here shortly, those who have come to the report will bring back Master Silvi's instructions, or I will be back, the others will wait here until then. I'll leave it to you to make your decision in the event of an unforeseen situation."

Elena explained so and ordered the female knight of the deputy captain.

"I understand. Take care."

The vice captain's female knight assents agile.

"Oh. I got it."

Elena said so and quietly proceeded to walk into the woods where Lucci was in.

◇ ◇ ◇

Around that time, at the Inn in Accommodation Town, which Sylvie and the others have rented out since the day before. Lotus and Silvi were with Alain on the lookout, waiting in the inn's dining room.

"... Hey, Sylvie, what are you going to do?

Lotus lurks his voice and asks Silvi.

"What are we going to do?

"Aren't they up to something in this lodging town? Why did they have to get us out of that abandoned village? I guess it's possible your sister has something to do with this, huh?

and Lotus speaks one after the other of his doubts about the current situation.

"… those concerns are best. But you can't hit a bad hand in a situation where you don't know anything. Worst of all, there's a risk that everything will be ruined."

"So you're sitting still here?

Ask him if it doesn't suit Lotus' taste to be a grownup.

"... I can't move until I figure out what they're trying to do here, at least. Perhaps it has something to do with a man called the stripper who put Elena and the others in contact, but he doesn't even know who that person is. As you can see, behavior is constrained."

Elena answered with a grumpy face.

"It seems likely that the man holds the key to what they're trying to do and why they let your SS knights cooperate like that....... hmm?

Lotus saw Allaine stretching asleep at the edge of the dining room, groaning blushly. Then one man enters the dining room.

"Hey, Alain."

The man who came in was a stranger to Lotus, but spoke by name against Alain.

"I..."

When you look at the man Silvi came in...

"You know what?

Lianshi asked.

"I've seen you with Reis before. It must have been called Venn."

"Ven......"

When Silvi tells him his name, Lotus looks to Venn with a sharp eye.

"Ooh, Ven. Hey, what's up? You..."

Alain tried to say something, but he looked at his mouth and looked at Silvi and Lotus. Is it a difficult matter to talk about in front of the two of you?

"I need to talk to you a little. Let's go outside the dining room."

That's what Venn says, invites Alain outside.

"Okay.... I'll be out of the dining room a little bit, you two. Don't make strange imitations."

Alain nodded and rose from the dining chair where he was sitting. And restrain the two Lotus and Silvi.

"Hmm."

Lotus and Silvi turned to that in a grumpy manner.

Alain shrugs his shoulder, but...

"Let's go, Alain. We're in a hurry."

That's what Venn says, he just walks out of the dining room.

"Whoa, what's this all about?

Alain walked out of the dining room, speaking on Venn's back.

"You were in a hurry with a guy named Venn."

And Lotus says at a time when the two are gone from the dining room.

"Oh. Something unforeseen seems to have happened too. I wish I could talk to you, but can you hear me magically strengthening my physical abilities..."

Silvi nodded with a rugged face and spoke in all likelihood. Silvi possesses a demonic sword with powerful physical strengthening magic, but inside the inn, Reis and the others forbid him to carry it. If you magically enhance your physical abilities, your hearing will increase somewhat, but it won't extend to strengthening the Devil's Sword. If you get out of the room, you have no hitter, because even if you reinforce it with the Devil's Sword, you can still hear the whispers in the room. Then...

"Leave it to me. You might be able to eavesdrop."

Lotus just tells me it's here.

"What?"

"You've told me before that my Coquitos are specially made? Powerful physical enhancement can be applied without showing weapons on hand. But they don't seem to realize that."

When Silvi leans his neck in surprise, Lotus is adept at engraving a grin.

"Oh my goodness.... So can you ask?

"Oh."

Lotus nodded forcefully.

◇ ◇ ◇

Outside the dining room, on the other hand, Alain and Venn were having a conversation.

"So, what's going on? You're in charge of the deal, aren't you? Why did you come here?

And, Alain asks Venn.

"Problem arose"

"Problem?"

"Princess Estelle at heart escaped"

"Become...!?

Alain raved her voice like she was terribly surprised.

"Silly bastard, loud voice"

Venn dives into his voice and reprimands Alain.

"... what are we gonna do with the deal? The other man must have taken the woman and left the boarding town already? Didn't Lucci's bastards use the female knights to direct you to a trading place?

Alain asked, suppressing his voice.

"Oh, I've already guided you. Lucci also left the female knights on the street on schedule to the trading place. By now, the female knights should be confused..."

"When Princess Estelle escapes, isn't it yummy? If you can get out on the street, the knights might find you."

When Venn answers with something contained, Alain says in a harrowed voice.

"Oh, that's why I told you we were in a hurry. Without Princess Estelle of Exchange Materials, the deal would not be closed. Not to mention if someone finds you first, it eliminates the need for them to dare make a deal. That way, you know what I mean?

Venn spoke with some explanatory remark as he looked at the entrance to the dining room.

"I know I know, but then it wouldn't be if we were talking about swallowing up here"

Alain asks in a slightly lengthy tone, back to back with words.

"Exactly. We're going to the woods. I need your help, too. Let's go over the details as we move."

"... what about the two of you in the dining room? When you get out to me, there's no lookout, okay?

"I don't mind leaving you. That's Lady Reyes' instructions. I think I've already used it. I heard you were going to leave me in this lodging town."

That's what Venn says, niggling and giggling.

"I see. So let's go."

Alain snorted deeply, too, as he loosened his mouth and damn laughed.

When they look at each other, they move on to the entrance to the dining room. In less than ten seconds, when you reach the entrance to the dining room...

"Her Royal Highness Princess Silvi, I have a little something for you. Let me take my seat off, so I'll wait here often."

Alain spoke to Silvi.

"... what? Where are we going?

Silvi asks in a swordswallowing voice if he is dampening his anger.

"You don't need to know that."

Alain mocks, turning back on his heels.

"Wait!"

Lotus bared his voice and stopped Alain and the others.

"Stop, Range"

Silvi forgives Lotus aggressively.

"But...!

"That's okay."

Silvi squeezed and stopped the angry Lotus Hand.

"Unfortunately, we're in a hurry. Bye."

Alain laughs at those two with her nose, and now it's time to turn her heels back. So, when Alain and the others walk away, Silvi stands up quietly. And I walked out of the dining room.

"Wait, what are you going to do, Sylvie!?

Lotus speaks up on Silvi's back immediately.

"Let them out. I want more certainty, and I can't afford to be distracted by this move. Now I just have to go after him. Lotus, that was..."

Silvi served and spoke calmly, looking back to Lotus.

"Of course I'm coming, too."

Lotus offers with intent.

"... Then come with me. I just want to work with the knights, but I have to."

Silvi has only a few cruises, but we don't have time now. Lotus and I decided to act together. When we rush to our room to collect the Devil's Sword, the two of us jump straight out of the inn on a small run. Then...

"Dear Sylvie!

Bowled with two female knights. They are both SS of Silvi who rushed to the Inn at Elena's direction.

"What's wrong with you guys?

Silvi opens her eyes when she is poked at her intentions.

"Follow Elena's instructions here. Actually, I'd like to report..."

The female knights ran off in a hurry.

"Wait. We listen as we move"

That's what Silvi said, looking over the street of the Inn Town, which runs from north to south. Then, at the end of the street leading to the south street, capture the back of Alain and a Ven-like man.

"... let's go, follow me"

Sylvie narrows her eyes softly and walks toward the southern streets. Never be in a hurry, suppress the movement of your feet that may deviate -,

(It's getting weird clouds. What is this chest scratch...?

Inside Silvi's chest were swirling unspeakable anxieties and suspicions.
