The Solas Adventure Department Expedition had come to their residence, the Wood Leaked Forest, at the request of the Elves of the Wood Leaked Forest. When they finished the day one investigation with almost nothing, they were forced to greet the beasts of the woods with a wedge guide before entering the day two and starting the investigation.

"There's got to be a bunch of wolves here..."

Wedge was careful not to make any noise while making his ears clear to the surrounding sounds. Next to that, Sora is with several Adventure Department members who are careful not to make noise as well.

And, to one of them, Canaan, who was brought as a trump card, Wedge suddenly turned his gaze.

"Duh, what's wrong?

"Girl. What about your ancestors?

"Joe?... Ah, it's the Golden Lion. Your father is a Golden Lion..."

Apparently I'm still unfamiliar with rhetoric as a race like this for Canaan, who has a long life as an adventurer. Joe, I didn't know what it was like to be told.

"Is...? Yes, no, as good as it gets. Was she the daughter of a clan that culminated in Rackham the Beast King..."

Wedge was slightly surprised by Canaan's response, but at the same time convinced. That's how he wakes up, who was abruptly succumbing.

"Wolves! It's an elf in there! We need to talk!

Wedge raises her voice and calls out to the wolf. That's how I asked him how surprised Sola was.

"What is it suddenly?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Ask the woods because they won't come out inside, and the wolves will be scared of the girl. I needed to speak from here."

"I?"

I don't understand what they say, and Canaan tilts his neck. Again, here, she still doesn't have the feeling of being a high-ranking beast man.

"I heard it was a beastman's half, and that's why I told him to bring it... I never thought of it as such a high beastman's half. This is my mistake. Forgive me. The beasts are frightened by the smell of God's beast."

"Scared?

"No, you don't. If I dare, should I say I'm out front? Think of it like we put the High Elves in front of us."

Wedge looks at Canaan's face and changes the way he says it just a little bit. This is somehow, but I was also convinced by Canaan. Next to her like that, Wedge raised her voice again.

"Wolves! What are you so frightened of!

Naturally, the wolves don't speak human language. So the words didn't come back, but at the same time the woods knew why the wolves didn't come out and told me.

"What? What's this all about?

"I don't know... the old man?

"Descendants of the King?

"Uh... that's the thing..."

Teene seemed convinced that she was listening to the woods as well against the elves of the Wedges "Wood Leaked Forest.

"I'll take your place."

"You know what I mean?

He's one of us.

Tine nodded with a smile at Wedge's inquiry. And if she understands and substitutes, the Wedges also decide that it is inevitable that they should not talk to the Wedges.

Exclusivity is against other races, even of the same species. Moreover, it seemed to be trusted almost unconditionally if it were an elf under Kuzha's command. Therefore, Wedge gave the occasion to Tine. In response, Tine raised her voice.

"O loving wolves! I'm an elf in the North Forest! It's her people! She is certainly the king's son, but the proud lion's! I am not the son of your king, but I have no hostility! Rest assured, the son of the Lion King is here to help you! Canaan, call from you too."

"So, you're coming out..."

Teene speaks to the wolves, and Canaan, who has received such her words, calls them by surprise. And finally, to the words, the wolves showed themselves.

"Ah..."

"Are you here... I want to see the boss. Are you there?"

According to Wedge's words, a giant wolf entered from within the herd. At a glance, Sola and the others were also huge wolves so prestigious that they could understand that this wolf was the boss of the herd.

"O proud lion's son. Let it smell just like the old king, son of the moon... then what brings you here? '

"" "Shh, I talked -!?

Sola and the others were greatly surprised by the majestic voice that sounded even though they were reading. I never imagined a wolf would talk. but the boss of the herd sighed at those soras.

"Surprise at what. If you live for decades, learn one of the words of a person. If it's hundreds, you can talk."

"Ha ha... seriously..."

Though Sola was heartily surprised that there was still so much common sense on the planet, she couldn't help but snort at the boss's words. and the other wolf was walking over to Sola and the others.

"Eh."

"It's okay. No problem."

"If it's harmful to the woods,

The boss of the wolf herd jokes a little beside Tine urging him not to be alarmed and talks to Sola, who gave him a slight glimpse of tension. At least, I'm sorry it hurts if you bite me.

It was Sola at the beginning, she also found out as the boss that the greatest in this group was Sola. That way, the boss finishes smelling everyone except Canaan.

"... if you smell nostalgic, it's still slightly in there... kid. Lord, do you know those who came to our woods a long time ago?

"Uh... who is it?

"It's a young man with a fairy. They have protected our flock. It's still about my childhood before I became long."

"... ah. Yeah, I think I know him."

'... lying doesn't seem like it. Good. Let's talk.'

The herd boss, convinced to stare into Sola's eyes, bows down on the spot to a height where Sola and his gaze meet. Apparently, he cared about Sola.

"Uh..."

"You were asked. You answer."

"Yes..."

Sola tells this giant wolf what's happened to her because she was surprised at what Wedge said. After hearing all of them, she exhaled in a deep sigh.

'Right. Was it... uhm... maybe it was unexpected as a forest'

"What do you mean? Do the wolves know anything about this?

'I don't know. At least I know the woods keep their mouths shut to the elves. "

To Wedge's inquiry, the giant wolf made it clear, yes. but I was greatly surprised by the wedges and other elves in "Wood Leaked Forest" for this. As such, Wedge, who was greatly surprised, asked the giant wolf in a rather hasty manner.

"The woods hid something from us?

'Um... no, this isn't because I don't trust elves if that's the case. If you think of the elves as part of the woods, you'll have kept your mouth shut. "

……

If so, I don't know. Wedge couldn't imagine the beasts living in the same forest lying to themselves, so he had no choice but to convince himself of the words of the giant wolf.

They say even the woods hide things from the elves. The reasons for this vary. If it's a naughty forest, they sometimes hide it in a naughty way, and there are times when they have some ideas, like this forest. They say there are really many different properties in the woods, just like people.

'... hum... what the woods had in mind and kept quiet. We are remembered for it in old memories... because of battles in the far past that even the elves do not know. "

"A long time ago?

"Uhm... the ancient battles that these beasts of the woods have told us more about in ancient times... there, there is a cause"

"Ancient...... what does that have to do with the ruins?

An ancient battle that the wolves know. They also had a verse in mind for the elves in Wedges "Wood Leaked Forest" about that. Well, it's a more suspicious place without this. Plus, the giant wolf nodded.

'Uhm...... far past. There was a temple in the land. Let's get to know each other. There was one battle around it. "

"Hmm..."

Wedge compares himself to his knowledge and explores what the words of a giant wolf mean.

"What's wrong with that?

'I don't know. Neither do our beasts know what happened. That was so long ago. Only the woods know the battle that was there. Therefore, the forest decided not to speak to the elves. We only know that. "

"You think there's some cause for that fight?

'Yes, the forest says. but we don't know why or why. But the woods somehow forced the elves to go outside and ask for help. "

"Outside?

Wedge was greatly surprised. Most of what happens in the woods is handled by the forest people. Therefore, this time the elves have been taking action for quite some time. Still, there was nothing I could do about it, so I asked for help outside.

But apparently, it was also the will of the forest. It was just that the elves weren't informed of it for any reason. No, an exclusive elf thing if you know it. We may have tried to solve the case ourselves, even if it was somewhat unscrupulous. The woods were likely to have dared to pass unknowingly.

"Uhm... the woods thought the elves couldn't solve the case"

"The forest, huh?

'Uhm... that's what the forest says. And to the evidence, the forest decided not to speak to the elves. but apparently the status quo was out of the woods thoughts. I'm telling you to tell us a little bit about it via us. "

"Uhm..."

The wedge roared slightly and had to snort at the lack of words so far. And it only sounded like them, but the woods also seemed to agree with the words of the wolves again. If that happens, they'll have to be convinced too.

"... So it was the will of the forest that called them?

'I can say I'm half right, and I can say I'm half wrong. It was indeed the forest that sought help from the outside. Forest, but not as intended'

"What do you mean?

'I don't know. The woods were waiting for someone. but the woods decided they were good'

The giant wolf turns his gaze to the Solas, who were just watching over Yuki. Apparently, he really wanted to call someone else. Apparently, Sola and the others thought it was enough.

And I guess that's why you told Sylphi to talk too. She makes it clear she knows what's going on herself. I mean, she thought that even Sola and the others could solve it.

"Don't you see?"

"What?

"Why are we talking?"

"What do you mean?

Wedge tilts her neck at the words of the giant wolf. I just came to say hello to the wolves in the first place and they're having a dialogue with the woods in that flow. I couldn't find much meaning in why the giant wolf was talking.

'... don't you see? Well, your lord is still young...... kid. Don't you know what the Lord was looking for in the woods? "

"Huh? What do you mean?

"Why are we talking about it? I don't know what that means. '

"What?"

Suddenly pointing the water from the giant wolf, Sola suddenly rises to the stage from a position she has always been a bystander and bewildered, but consider what she has been told. but that was understandable when I thought about it.

"To make us listen...?

'Um... they can't hear the woods. To tell the deaf about the forest, we need a storyteller. Forest has ordered us to play the role of storyteller. "

"So you want them to fix it?

"Yes, I guess that's what this is all about"

The giant wolf nods at Wedge's inquiry. Here, they don't even know what the forest thinks. Just guessing and thinking.

'... I'm sorry, but our beast in the woods is not involved in this case. I can only solve humanities and speak humanities with us. "

"... no, this story is enough. If you know what the forest's intentions are, we Elves will work with them to resolve them later. If the woods let us call them in for any reason, the woods are telling us to cooperate with them."

"I'm sorry. If you need any help, call through the woods. Let it be our leg. Let us tell the beasts of the woods. '

"Thank you"

Wedge bows her head to Giant Wolf's offer. The opponent is also one who lives in the woods. Whatever it was to be a beast, it was a reciprocal opponent for the elves. That's how the herd of wolves leaves the scene, following the giant wolf who flipped herself with clarity of help. As he dropped it off, Wedge told Sola and the others.

"... I'm sorry, but let me go back inside once. You have to tell the chief."

"Ha ha... well, let's all go back once"

In the meantime, they're going to get more generous support than ever. Understanding that, Sora accepts Wedge's offer. In that way, they would return fairly early with the elves who had decided to support them according to the thoughts of a forest they could never grasp.
