Northwest of the Great Forest of Kyodittel, deepest...

Approximately 500 km north of Metanostadt, the king's capital, north of Merte. Across the Parnomechian Mountains, nostalgic for the Kingdom of Rudens, in a vast forest leading to the Far North land of Prucia.

The sun rising near the top of the sky illuminates to the back of the dark Great Forest.

A three-wheeled vehicle mimicking a horse progresses as it sews through the crevices of depressed trees.

Pop pop...... and a continuous, rhythmic sound echoes in the forest, similar to boiling hot water shaking the pot's lid.

Simple leather chairs, one front wheel and two rear wheels. A magical tricycle featuring a simple shape composed of a wheel coated with black resin and a axle supporting the wheel (it).

It is one of dozens of units developed and produced by the military magic workshop (Armia Marsenal) of the Royal Metanostadt Army last year.

Under the seats are compact "Magic Conductor (Marta)" and "High Density (High) Magic Accumulation Mechanism (Capacitor)" that produce power. Rotating the wheel allows you to drive at a steady speed, at about half the speed of the horse, for about a minute and a half (about 90 minutes).

"Yo...... and!

Get over the roots of the little trees and proceed carefully through the woods. It was Half Dragon (Half Dragon) who left the girl in the shadow. Feathers grown from the back resemble a small winged dragon (Wyburn) and close to that of a dragon (Dragon) while the tail stretched from the waist is also small. Her eyes staring forward with a crisp expression are red, and she has scarlet hair tied to her ponytail.

The body leans heavily, but balances well while moving the center of gravity.

A metal spring is attached to the axle supporting the wheel, absorbing the vibrations of uneven travel and preventing the wheel from leaving the ground. The operation of the front wheel, which determines the direction, is the feeling of manipulating the horse's reins.

The half dragon man holding the handle (half dragon) wears a black leather suit. Light metal protectors are sewn into the chest, shoulders and knees.

'- Plum, don't get too far away from the main team!

I heard voices from magical communication tools worn in my ears.

The voice of Annemie the Dragon Man.

"It's okay. There are signs a little further ahead."

Slowly rinse between the narrow trees as the plum grips the handle of the three-wheeled carriage (trickle) and tilts the body to the right and left.

Narrow, uneven places such as in the woods, horses or walking were the only means of getting around. But it's too late on foot, and horses are surprised by the emergence of unintentional demons and other unusable occasions.

Some hands use a terrestrial wing dragon (Wyburn) that is good at bipedaling, but rare and harder to handle than a horse. So the tricycle was devised, and we can rely on it as a way to get around the woods.

- I was talking about a local hunter, and I saw him three days ago, and I can't find him anymore.

"Is that right? I kind of have a feeling I'm gonna see you."

Dragon-like feathers branching out of the scapula

and balance with the tail of a dragon stretched from his waist, overcoming the fallen tree.

'- Don't push it. We, the Rudens Kingdom Investigation Team, are safety first!

"I know -"

The Great Forest of Kyodittel is also a sanctuary for the few tribes that make hunting their livelihood. But the deepest depths of the deep, dark forest are also dangerous places where unknown and unknown demons and beasts and warcraft that breathe more secluded than the ancients.

For the last hundred years, I have swallowed the lives of adventurers who have stepped in with curiosity, researchers who have tried to examine the ecology of demons and beasts, and hunters who illegally attempt to hunt.

The Kingdom of Rudens, which governs the land, was also the ruler of the few tribes that make hunting their livelihood, and it was the status quo that no systematic studies or studies had been carried out with regard to the forest, which was a sanctuary and a place to obtain food.

But now it is essentially the protectorate of the Kingdom of Metanostadt.

There is a move to seek out and exploit vast forest resources, raw materials for magical new drugs and magical new materials, including the world tree, up to this great forest in the north and the subtropical forest that extends to the south.

For this reason, there was an urgent need for academic and systematic investigation.

and the plum grabbed the brake and parked the three-wheeled carriage (trickle).

"... is that it?

A scarlet iris stared at an unfamiliar demon in an open place in the woods.

It doesn't look like an exoskeleton that covers the entire body, or a blackening semiinsect (Innosextian). But not bipedal, fourpedal. It's not even like an insect-like six-leg.

"What do you think, Greg Slime?"

"... cu"

When Pram whispered, from the valley of his chest (...), a small hall slime glanced at his face.
