When the kites entered the Karma Forest on the third day of the afternoon, when it was still bright, the strength of the junction was increased on the second day, and the two succeeded in walking through the forest with little trouble.

"Ha... You just had to fight Karma twice today..."

"You managed to get out of the woods a little earlier than expected."

The two men defined the vicinity of a small creek, which was a little bit through the woods, as today's camp. Thanks to the prey hunted on the second day, the food situation improved considerably and there was no longer any trouble with meat.

So Mel and I were supposed to take turns hunting when we originally discovered we couldn't cook, but that wasn't necessary anymore. Well, there were some slightly unexpected events against Karma, so I guess this was lucky.

"Are we going to consume more food from here? I want to get rid of my stuff."

Kite performs the calculation of the dish while preparing the necessary preparation for today's dish from the sachet on her hips. Originally, Kite can store all her luggage in different spaces and travel with her bare hands, but she can't use such advanced moves in front of Mel.

Therefore, although it is somewhat expensive, I bought a storage bag for adventurers and travelers - a bag that interior is different spaced and attaches to the waist that contains more luggage than it looks - at this time. When I finished using it, I thought that if I used it as an adventure department equipment, I would reduce the amount of time I didn't use it.

"Um, at this rate, we'll manage to get to the next inn town early tomorrow. Maybe a carriage the night after tomorrow."

Mel takes the map out of his luggage and checks his current location. Furthermore, magic props such as azimuthal magnets were used to determine the current position. This is an essential skill if you are going down a path without a path as an adventurer. Sola and the others, who are still unfamiliar with these roads without paths, can still do the same with Kite and Mel.

That's how Mel tilted his neck when he noticed it against Kite, who was watching Mel, who was checking his current location with one hand on the map.

"... hmm? What's the matter with you?

"What neighborhood now?

If you're going to ask the Great Spirits how to talk to Kite, we still don't know where the current location is without a map or an azimuth magnet. So he asked Mel.

"Hmm, about 70 kilometers southwest of Maxwell East Street's fourth inn town. I think our feet will be there tomorrow at noon."

"Well, there was only a route through the Karma Forest to the true east, so can't you help but pass slightly? Do you want to go back west once like this to the fourth inn town?

We stopped at the third inn town, where we first moved southeast for a day, into the Karma Forest, and further east for three days. We didn't have to cross the mountain, but instead it took some time because we couldn't go straight.

"That's the only way. It's a slight reversal, but something faster than moving on. It would have been nice if that Gyma Mountains had been easily crossed."

A little too bad Mel squeaks. She didn't have enough experience to trample the Gyma Mountains.

"Don't lick a mountain thousands of meters in altitude."

Kate tells her with pleasure as she cooks. Well, Mel figured it out, but he didn't even include it in the second plan.

The Gyma Mountains are difficult to reach at least 3,000 metres in altitude. It exceeds 5,000 meters in tall objects. I would have liked to pass through the Gyma Valley, which was originally at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, but the long rains in the rainy season caused the road to collapse here.

Later, it is the shortest route from the third inn town to the fourth inn town to cross the mountain or through the Karma forest, but the crossing of the mountain was more suicidal than the Karma forest, given the altitude and the fight against demons. If Mel had mentioned going through this one, Kite would certainly have been furious, too.

"I know. That's why you didn't put it on the plan from the start."

"Wow, I'm here."

Cooking, Kite nods. Naturally, but I don't think Mel understands. I just said it. Well, Mel knows that too, so his voice just contained a bit of a shudder.

As such, Kate cooks alongside Mel, who begins to think about her current location and her plans for her upcoming journey, and uses her thoughts to talk to Kuzha and the others about what she has done so far.

"Oh, it's me."

"What?

The reaction from Aura returned immediately when I spoke. Kite smiles bitterly at such a sister-in-law, but immediately gets to the point.

"You know there's a forest of karma in our territory, right?

"Yeah... Anything?

'Oh......'

When she hears from Kuzha and confirms that the two are in order, Kate tells her what happened after she went into the woods.

'That's why. Sometimes this one is more alert, but only two of them met. If the activation that Deane and the others were saying was caused by those two bodies, good. But it can also be a sign of some kind of mutation. It's good in some unit, just let me do my research.'

Both Kate and the Great Spirits used their power after that to hide in Mel and secretly continue their investigation with their bodies and such, but only those two were capable enough to scratch the boundaries in the end.

It would be a difference of view to see this as good luck to say that it was good when Kate was around, or bad luck to encounter it like that. At least Kite was the former. If it wasn't for me, I'd have to be relieved.

'I accept, brother. In the meantime, we have a large Air Force Magic Armor and airship airborne unit to restore the valley, so we'll split the troops from there and let them investigate. "

"Are you going out with a large and a airship?

'The forest is vast, and sending people cheaply could increase the damage, right? The number of airships is increasing while Aura is skipping, so there's nothing wrong with that. "

Even though Aura has finally started her work, there are many things she has yet to grasp. Therefore, we did not know the prevalence of the airship, and it seemed a little unexpected.

That said, it is her awesomeness to understand immediately to the back if explained. A voice sounded impressed.

"Oh, wow. Soon I'll be a big squad."

'That's what I'm saying. Then I'll take care of the rest.'

"Yeah."

'I accept. Oh, brother. That and the recovery situation......'

At the end of his own requirements, he will receive reports of landslides from Kuzha, and while cooking, Kite will receive various reports and end his reading.

"Is the restoration of the valley smooth? Fortunately in misfortune, huh? I can't get information on karma...... good, do you want to decorate it with herbs later"

I did have some bad luck saying that Mel would be attacked within the contiguity, but still the worst was avoided. If you look only at the results when you go into the woods, you decide you're lucky, and Kite works on finishing the dishes.

According to a report I received from Kuzha and the others, even if it was restored, there was a slight delay due to the addition of the fact that it was rainy season, so I would still have been right to go through the forest. Otherwise, there will still be no prospect of departure tomorrow.

Furthermore, if we did not go into the woods, Karma's information would have been fully damaged. Unfortunately, the number of reported cases is much lower than the actual number of damages. It's only after the damage has been done that it comes up. Metaphor Even in situations that seem mutated like this one, we don't want to talk about being attacked because we're in every world together.

Before that, I could only say that I was fortunate to have discovered and been able to deal with being at the top of the list.

"Whoa, we're done."

"Wow."

Place the dish made by kite on a rock that replaces the table. Even if you can carry essential items such as a tent used inside the junction on boulders, you can't carry that much larger baggage. Local sourcing was the basis of the journey for what could be procured locally.

"Today's dinner was a deer vanilla grill and salad, and the soup had extra bird meat and chicken gallows that I bought, so I put that in."

"I'll take it."

Kite's explanation. There, she was pretty hungry. Mel goes for a meal. Besides, Kate smiles bitterly but nods and starts eating herself too.

By the way, as I said the stylish name, Kite's cooking was decently gorgeous in appearance. Well, Mel must be the lady, so it suited her, but she had something that touched her harp line. I was a little dissatisfied.

"Yes, go ahead"

"... you're still a good cook. I know, I know, but I'm sexually angry... even though our little night is pretty good, it's beyond that..."

"I don't have enough balance with vegetables for someone I know. But there were some annoying idiots who said they could make Muniel... help me make that meal, naturally. Well, I've been sourcing food I'd like to eat, so it's a good idea."

Kate tells her with a slightly nostalgic face against Mel with her pointed mouth. As a matter of fact, Kite was only a little bit good at cooking. Well, I didn't have to tell you the details, and I leveled them up because of the two gastronomers and the annoying ex-Demon King.

Well, Mel is dissatisfied, but it's rare for a woman to be able to cook with an adventurer who hasn't acted alone. Anyway, I wish I could have one or two people at the party. There's nothing everyone can do. There's nowhere to go.

For that reason, even Kite and Tina did not make cooking compulsory as an imperative skill in the adventure department, but only for those who wanted it. This was with the hunt.

This is because if we decide to share roles, it is also possible to divide work with other imperatives such as hunting and laundry. Mel's original role now is this hunting and laundry. I just don't need kite for laundry and I do my own laundry properly for my clothes.

Even though it wasn't a solo act, it was actually more of a minority of kites who could make a level of food that could be served in the store, even though they were left to do everything alone.

Well, that kite isn't perfect, either, because I leave the collection of plants to Yuri. Mel, who doesn't know that, will have no choice but to persevere. It was majestic as a senior. Well, actually, Kite is more of an overwhelming senior.

"Besides, I'm used to this. If someone's interested in doing it, let me know."

Kate smiles bitterly and tells her she's used to it. Of course, Kite and I didn't cook anything from the beginning. Naturally, at the beginning of the journey, I had company who could cook. It was only after that that I could.

That being said, Yuri can only take what she looked like 300 years ago, which is still small. Then inevitably, the cuisine of the journey had to be kite main. Yuri couldn't do it either, but she seemed quite physically tired when she made kite's share, and didn't want to cook much.

"Ugh... let me tell you at night..."

"Go slow. When you wake up for fun, maybe you'll be able to cook court food?

"but I'll do my best."

The two of them joyously bicker and eat their meals. Thus, the last dinner in front of the Inn Town ended, and the crossing of the Karma Forest was somewhat weak - because the magic props that tied the line for the camp were disposable, it was not possible to use a high performance junction to the extent that we used it in the Karma Forest at all times on a budget - the junction was developed and put to sleep.

That's how I resumed my journey from sunrise again, around the time I was a little past noon. The two gradually arrive at the fourth inn town.

"We're here..."

"I want to sleep in my cot today..."

I feel relieved when two of them look tired dropping their shoulders. We encountered a massive herd of demons along the way, and the two of us took time to crusade and were only a little behind schedule. Besides, I had consumed more than I expected about the stamina.

"Ha... what do we do?

"What are you gonna do, what?

Mel tilts her neck and asks back at the words of the subject's loose kite. With that in mind, Kate spoke further details. He didn't want to go into too much detail because he was tired.

"Find an inn first or check the carriage status, what do we do?

"First, let's find an inn. I want to put my stuff away..."

"I agree..."

"Let's have lunch and see what's going on with the carriage. I'm starving at the boulders..."

"Right."

If that's what you decide, then act first. They decide to look for a place to stay tonight, have lunch, and start moving. Thus, after eating lunch quite thoroughly, the two moved to the carriage berth again to check the situation.

"How's the carriage going?

Mel asked for the staff at the carriage parking lot. When you look at where the carriage isn't, it doesn't seem like you can at least ride it right now.

"The collapse of the Zima Mountains is currently blocking some sections of traffic to Maxwell. Restoration will take a while…"

Sorry, the official answered Mel. but I also know this from Mel, so I smiled and shook my head bitterly.

"Oh, no. I know that. What's the way to Portland Emeria?

"… please wait… Yes, no particular problem, we operate back from our station. Today, we leave in as little as two hours."

"What's your start tomorrow?

Exactly. Mel isn't going to leave either, so I'll ask for tomorrow's flight. Why not, because I still thought about the demon raid. With a tired body. If there is a battle, there will inevitably be many mistakes. It was natural to fear that.

"Five o'clock in the morning will begin. After that, it's 8: 00, 10: 00."

"Yes, thank you"

Mel decided to consult with Kite on the back of a thank-you staff member.

"... tomorrow's flight at 8: 00 is perfect."

"Well, yeah."

I agree to Mel's proposal without even having to think about it. Even if it's too early in the morning, we can now be hit by demons targeting nocturnal demons and breakfasts. If we avoid that, we had just the right departure around 8: 00 when the demons would eat breakfast and the activity would be a little dull. Conversely, if it was too late, it would be late at night to arrive in the next lodging town, and now I would have to think about fighting at night with poor vision, which I wanted to avoid.

When they finished the consultation, they had nothing to do, so they moved freely.

"Why don't you take it easy today?"

"Ah! Wait, wait!

Mel came after Kite as she started walking and tried to get to the mall in the lodging town.

"Avoid the man."

Mel was quite shy when she told him so, but some couple would say hello, take Kite's arm and tangle it in his own hands. From the side, it would be a couple of friendly adventurers.

"Am I? To the adventurer...... no, do I need it"

If I looked around Mel's words, the gaze of the men who murdered at me was pouring down like arrows. I was with Mel, the beautiful girl, and it felt like we were traveling together as a couple, so I had no choice.

Well, I don't know the mood, so Kate decided to accept Mel's suggestion and wrapped herself around Mel's arm. There is no embarrassment in this direction.

By the way, there was a lot of it, and Kite praised the soft, but elastic swelling on her arm.

Then for an hour, they were shopping and coming back to today's inn.

"I knew it would be convenient to have one man."

I sat back in bed and sighed with Mel's really hard looking face. A man named Kate was avoided, so he didn't have to be nagged. Instead, kite got tangled up by a bad gala adventurer, but it was never a problem. He ran away with a glance that freed him up a little bit.

That's how Kate decided to ask what she had always thought of Mel's crush.

"What, it was a threesome trip after all?

"Sort of. My cousin Emme and my little girl were my date. Little night is overprotective and a bit of a runaway daughter, but to me, she's like a pretty little sister. We've both been together since we were young... and if there were a man in this situation, I'd know later that my parents would be bored."

I laugh and agree with Mel's words, which I chuckled and laughed at, and Kite does, too. I'm sure they'll say something when I'm just running away from home. When a man is added to it, it's obvious that it's a tricky story.

That said, the circumstances are the same this time, but we're crossing a dangerous bridge called a trip between a man and two. I'm pretty sure an investigation will be made into Kite. Well, Kite was ready from the time she took it, too, so she ordered Stella to deal with what she'd already given up and left behind.

"Well, I really thought I'd leave alone... now that I think about it, that was early. There's no night and no Emme. This time, I really understand."

"Sometimes you don't even know you're here."

Kate smiles and agrees with the words mourning Mel's unknown. As Mel noticed many times on this trip, Kite was reminded again and again of how little she could do with the loss of her people. Therefore, Kate learned that there were things she could not do alone and learned the art of relying on someone.

And even if Mel only understood it properly, this trip would be fruitful to her. There will be a lot to say about both my buddies and my parents, but this experience will be used as a good one when I get home.

This is not the journey where a girl named Samurai is but this time she really moved as an individual, which is why I saw this. It's the first time I've seen you away from my parents. You can't deny all this.

"Right. So thank you again. Thank you, kite. And it's been awhile."

"... nothing to be thanked for. I got a request, and you're my client. I'm only going to do what I get paid to do."

"... right. I'll get paid to work."

Mel smiled at Kite, who turned that way in the light, and told him so. It would also embarrass me if Kite and I were once again well thanked.

As such, they slowly rested their bones on the day and were rocked by the carriage for a few more days, finally arriving at their destination even though they were slightly behind schedule.
