"All right, you ready?

"Yes!"

"Yeah!"

"No problem!

A few days after I sold the material.

We're ready and we're off to Merchia.

This trip is on foot.

Because Illis stands out and the wings, etc. haven't recovered yet, so I want to keep them warm.

Most importantly, until Merchia, it doesn't take all day to run away.

At that distance, there's no reason to use such methods as worrying about people seeing you.

... and I thought.

"Uh... was it, like, a week until Merchia?

"Sure, I think that was about it!

Two people, Alma and Lurii, mentioned that they were concerned.

... a week?

"Iris, was that labyrinth that far? I thought if we left in the morning, we'd be there before dark."

"The eagle, too, I think we'll be there by the end of the day! At this pace, is it around the evening?"

Iris seems to agree with me.

When it comes to this much difference between us and Lurii... I don't think the route I'm thinking of is the same.

Could it be that the terrain had changed before I knew it?

Iris can fly through the sky to find out what's going on on on the ground, but lately it's a relationship where the wings were worn out, and it doesn't look like he was flying.

In the meantime, why don't you ask?

"... there's not a hundred kilometers from here to Merchia, is there?

"At a straight distance, I sure don't think it's even a hundred kilometers, but normally - no way, Matty, are you going to take the straight route to Merchia!?

"Sounds like there's a road on the way, so I'm going to use the road there... but from there it's the woods ahead"

On the map I saw in the guild, it must have been a forest with a name on it.

Sure... Did you say something about the Chilean woods?

"A forest... if you try to go straight from here to Merchia, you're going to go through a Chilean forest, right?

Again, sounds like the right answer.

"That's the route....... Is there something wrong with going through the Chilean forest? Even if there are some wetlands or something, if you use magic, you can pull it out..."

"It's not a wetland zone or anything, it's a demon! This is a horrible forest, where even adventurers of war are told to cry and escape!

"Not only are you strong, but you even go out with an intelligent demon..."

I see.

Is that the kind of place called the Chilean Forest?

Then... you have one choice.

"All right, we're gonna make it to the labyrinth city by the end of the day."

That said, I'm off the road I've been going through.

Trying to follow a straight route will take you off the road just around here.

"Just an instant answer!?

"Ho...... are you really going to break through the Chillis Forest!?

"Oh.... that doesn't necessarily mean we'll fight. If it does suck, I run.... Illis, can we go?

"Yes! As much as flying three people, it's nothing more!

Listen to what Iris has to say. I turn my mind to passive detection.

Use this to explore the magic around you.

Fighting is fun, but it's just reckless to stick into an opponent who knows no power without darkness.

It would be faster to die than to be strong.

So fight while you're safe.

"I see... when it comes down to it, Mr. Iris can fly..."

"I mean, Matty, if you were here, you'd feel like you could handle the Chilean forest too..."

We talked about it, but we moved on to the woods.
