The night book goes down, and the girl runs through the night forest without worrying about her uncertain feet. The colors of the trees are dyed dark, and their vision is becoming a painted black monochrome.

But the signs of the humans after her were definitely shrinking that distance.

There are twigs and leaves entangled in thin hair that is so green that it hangs on her shoulders, and when she was about twelve years old, she saw fear in the moist green eyes of a girl, and there are traces of flowing tears on her cheeks.

Running girl's breath is rough, and her hands and feet are increased by the trees and legs of the woods as she runs about to get twisted.

In the long, pointed ears, characteristic of the forest people, we hear several human runnings. But even if I look around, I can't see those people in the girl's eyes. If the girl were of the Dark Elf tribe of the same forest people, she would have been able to see with the night eyes of that tribe's specialty, but if it were of the day forest, she would not have had to know, and in the night forest she of the Elf tribe would not be able to foresee it.

The Elves were good at perceiving signs, but the girl was still too young to train well enough as a warrior and did not have the skill to calm down and judge the situation around her.

She was a girl who was desperately trying to escape, but the humans tracking her were steadily narrowing that siege net.

Hyun.

An arrow pierces the girl's right leg for a moment when I thought I could inadvertently hear the wind cut. The girl whose leg was taken fell flashly on the spot.

A girl looks at her right leg. The moment you saw it, you suddenly recognized the pain, screaming.

"Ahhh!!

The girl rolls around on the spot moaning, holding her legs in that much pain as she flushes a large grain of Shizukumi out of her eyes.

The human men appeared as the surroundings swayed greatly.

Each of the men was of various origins, dressed in thick long-sleeved long hemmed clothing and equipped with leather armor, with swords, daggers and bows that served as weapons of thought on their hips.

Although there is a humble grin on the faces of the men, it can be seen that they are quite hand-worked to approach the girl in a quick motion while looking around without alarm.

Put the collar on quickly.

Even as one man lays his hands on his hips weapon without alarm, he gives instructions to the others. Then one of the men who came out from behind the girl quickly approached him and put a black metal collar in the girl's neck, and even bit the monkey (sawdust).

"I'll treat this guy later. We'll find both the elves. I guess you recovered the trap, huh?

Another man, who was close to the man's question, nods and answers small.

"All right, once we catch the four, we'll carry them to Diento."

When the man who was taking command of the group gave the signal of retreat, the group walked through the forest with a foothold accustomed to the dark woods of the night and disappeared.
