Five days after Sola and the others took up guard of the village of Minado. As always, Sola and the others were on a lookout and lookout.

"Brother, sister, now look around?

I finished my watch at first thing in the morning and bowled in with Ruffi, who had walked here by chance as I took turns and did my rounds.

"Yeah, 'cause I just replaced him with a watch. Rufi-kun still have a walk today?

Meeting Ruffi is mainly when he is walking. Other than that, I've witnessed hiccups sometimes, but I never saw him with a parental adult.

"Yeah. Because I'm free.

"Well, look at you the last few days..."

Sora snorted at the mix. These past few days, when I was with Colin, I skirt rolled on Nanami and Yuri, such pranks as digging pits, and Ruffi, who climbed on the roof and was confused when I was alone, or did what I wanted to do. I was free to see.

"Um, where it started, I mean... can I come with you then?

"Oh, good.

Yuri, who takes good care of the child, answers with a smile. Sora likes kids, too, so she never refused.

"Yes, both of us. She said she was leaving the day after tomorrow.

"... oh well, it's work.

Ruffi pointed me out again and the two of them made me feel just a little snuggly and lonely. It was only 6 days since I took up my duties in this village, but I still felt like I had stayed a long time. I guess that's because they've been familiar with this village for a long time.

"Haha...... but well, I can send you a letter or something, so why don't you tell Nanami where to send it? I think Colin would love that, too, don't you?

Ruffi, on the other hand, laughs blatantly at what he thinks otherwise. Letters, Ruffi said, but a similar system exists in Enefia for postal services as well. Even so, it is not transported by the postman to each place, but when the letter is deposited at each post office, the official passes the letter to the specialist device and transfers it with a magic guide to the post office in the city or village to which it is destined and delivers it there.

Note that since the system promoted by Kate 300 years ago, the post office now exists in every village and city. As a result, it was also used to submit requests in villages without branches of the Union, etc. The same was true in this village of Minado. That's why I was able to make a request even though there were no Union branches.

"... yeah, right.

Yuri nods, seemingly just a little lonely. Yuri was inclined to give Nanami his contact details. and realizing about the contact, Fu Sora asks Ruffi. On second thought, no one knows where he lives.

"No, no, where does Ruffi live?

"Huh?... over there.

That said, there was no house in the direction Ruffi pointed to, only a small tall hill.

"It's over the hill. Can't you see it from here?

"... I wonder if it was there when it came.

Ruffi laughs at the two faces who seem surprised because they have nothing. Meanwhile, two more people think about the words. They both try to remember it with their heads in their arms, just the way they went when Sola and the others came, but I couldn't remember how hard I tried.

"But is it dangerous from then to here? You want a lift?

After all, there was no answer, so Sora gives up and tells Ruffi so. If the house isn't in the village, it could be attacked by the worst demons. It was resistant to let a child walk alone who would be less than 10 years old.

"Oh, I'm fine. Because I look like this too, and I remember my arm, don't I? It's not goblin. It's not goblin.

Ruffi activates simple sorcery without chanting or magic formations to show his strength. The activated magic was inferior wind attribute magic.

"... no chanting, no magic formation..."

"Hey?"

Ruffi with his chest stretched to boast. The two of them looked at Ruffi like that and were surprised when they opened their eyes.

"Can this child be a magician at this age without chanting..."

Now with this level of junior witchcraft, most of it can be activated without chanting, even in Sola, Yuri, and other facades that have come this time. But it was incredible that it was the young boy who did it.

"Hey? What's this one?

I don't know why, Ruffi tilts his neck with such a face. Besides, I apologized that Sora was in a big hurry and nothing.

"Oh, wow. Don't worry about it.

"Uh, I'm curious.

That's what Ruffi says, inflates his cheeks, looks grumpy, then looks funny. The emotional changes were really intense.

"Haha, when you grow up, you can read it in the paper.

"Uh. I'd like to know now.

"I didn't know you explained it.

As such, the three have some tedious conversations. While I was doing that, I met Al. He was on the lookout, too, but he was just coming to a place where the lookout route intersects.

"Oops. There are no abnormalities over here.

"Oh, Sola, Yuri. There's nothing unusual about this one. Is that it? Are you... Ruffi?

"Yeah, I am. Al's brother hasn't been around for a long time.

"Yeah. Long time no see. I haven't seen you lately, but were you with me today?

It seems Al hasn't seen Ruffi in a long time, and asks with a slightly strange face. Besides, Sola nodded.

"Oh, we've been together a lot lately.

"Is that it? You don't have it with Al?

"Is that it? Speaking of which, didn't I see you?

"That's a lot of walking around my village..."

Al and Ruffi think about it. Apparently, they didn't bowl together by chance.

"All the time, speaking of which, brother. What time is it?

That's what Ruffi asks Al for time.

"Huh?... It's time for lunch.

"Want to eat with me today?

Yuri, who was always having dinner with Rufi when she met him before noon, asks. But Ruffi laughed and shook his head sideways. The face seemed happy.

"I'm sorry. My friends are telling me I can eat with them today, so I'm going to go that way.

"Is that the friend you were telling me about?

Sora asks Rufi, remembering a conversation she had on the lookout a few days ago.

"Oh, yeah. That's right. That's my friend.... Ah! I forgot. Speaking of which, I can't come here tomorrow. I'm sorry I couldn't drop you off.

"Oh well..."

Sora nodded a little unfortunately to Ruffi, who told him like he remembered during the conversation. Naturally, both lateral Yuri and Al seemed unfortunate. The last three of us wanted to say goodbye, but if we had business, we had no choice.

"But it's okay. Because I'll see you soon.

A little soggy air flows, Ruffi says. I thought the three of them were just making it look like a temperament. If we leave this village, we will hardly ever see each other again. Maybe it wasn't there anymore. But I thought I couldn't help but think that a child who would be less than 10 years old wouldn't understand.

"... right. So, do you want to walk around talking a lot today!

Sora retraces her mind and walks out, not staying in Ruffi's words.

"Yeah!"

Plus Ruffi is happy to agree and start walking again. And it came to pass about three hours, and when lunch was near, Nanami and Colin would rendezvous, and Ruffi would go out for lunch.

"Well, you really don't have to send it, do you?

Both Sola and Al suggested that we send them alone, wondering if they wanted to go far, but Rufi would have village protection, and he was reluctant. Still, my concerns were endless, so it was my last confirmation.

"Yeah. I just showed you - right?

To Sora like that, Ruffi protests with his mouth pointed. He's unhappy that you don't believe in strength.

"Besides, my friends protect me.

That's what I say. I look up at the sky, Ruffi. When I was caught by it and looked up at Sola, there was one bird there. Ruffi laughs and turns again to Sola and the others.

"See you later, brother and sister. Both Colin and Nanami sister, again.

That's what I'm gonna say. Turn around, Ruffi. But just before I started walking, I shrugged, I thought back and looked back.

"Sola's brothers. Watch out for the woods tomorrow.

Instead of the usual squeaky face, Ruffi tells the three of them with a face that only begs for a moment.

"Huh?"

"Bye!

Not long after suddenly understanding the words said, Ruffi waves his hand vigorously and leaves. The four who were distracted simply dropped off without even being able to inquire.

"Oh, hey! Just now...... can't you?

Ruffi had already gone far, even as Al, who had finally regained me, asked Ruffi.

"What the fuck? What the hell."

"Uh... but he was a healthy kid. I wonder if a child would want such a child.

"Huh? What? Could you two have kids?

A snug air flowed for a moment, but Al turned around and grinned a little pranky. It is Sola who disturbs it.

"Hey! Glossy!

Sora turns bright red and stops Al. Yuri looked funny to Sola like that, Nanami looked just a little sad, Colin didn't know what it meant.

"Oh, I know that face.

That's what Al says. He smiles even more nigga and makes fun of Sola. That's how the four of us, including Colin and Nanami, ate the meal and started looking around again.

Ruffi left, hours later. Sola and the others' security assignments are over, by the time the night book descends. That was a long way from the village.

"Again, that boy? Sure... did I mention Sora or something? Do you have an edge on me, or do I have an edge... do you mind both?

That's how a man laughs bitterly at odd edges. It's supposed to be an unlikely edge in the first place, but for some reason, Sola was there when he moved. I couldn't help but laugh.

The view of the city from his room like that had a slightly different atmosphere than the cities and villages in the Duke's territory, at least, it was not in the Duke's territory. From quite a distance, I could only assume that I was peering into the village of Minad with some purpose.

"Nevertheless, there are neither that pale man nor two gold and white women. There is no such thing as the most dangerous Ulysses... < > Alphonse.

The man shrugged as he peeked at the crystal he had placed on his desk. There, the villages that Sola and the others were guarding were shown.

"Alphonse in < > would keep the damage under control. When the village dies, I'm in trouble, too.

The man laughs bitterly. I don't want to take care of it yet, that's how it is. That's how the man takes out the green treasure balls.

"First magic is good. Second magic is good... control of the target is fine. This is the first time I have used this... well, there will be no problem because it has been improved based on previous items.

The man dares to speak out and make sure that several procedures work fine. The room is protected by silent junctions and various kinds of junctions, and you don't have to worry about your voice or your internal situation leaking outside. Of course, if you don't confirm it, you don't put it in your mouth and confirm it.

"Well... check the state of the forest.

That said, the man starts some sort of magic chant. Then, the crystal, which was reflecting the state of the village, shows an overall view of the forest near the village of Minad. Apart from that, the crystals showed information about demons in the woods, showing where and what was there.

"Hmmm... more junior goblins than expected... have you even built a new nest somewhere?

A man shrugged as he scrutinized the situation in the forest. When I checked before, there wasn't much so far, but at some point the man thinks only a little bit about the goblin, which had nearly doubled.

"... is there anything else we can do with the goblins?

The man was originally meant to serve his purpose with another demon who was in the woods, but he also thought he could accomplish his purpose with a goblin.

"Let me talk to you for a second..."

That's how the man takes out the little communications magic guide and communicates with somewhere. So a few minutes later, I came to a conclusion, and I stopped the magic conductor.

"It's something I'll talk to you about.

Apparently, an acknowledgement has been made, and the man grins at a job that has only gotten a little easier. But soon the man sighed.

"Nevertheless, did you get another order this time? Well, does it just slow down the start time of the experiment somewhat?

To that extent, it was not an issue, both the person consulted and the man were unanimous in that perception.

"Well... I'll be up all night today... well, I have no choice.

That's how the man started the experiment.
