Almark and Morgan ran through the woods.

Even if you set a direction, the road won't go straight.

Winding the dimly lit path, Almark still runs astray as if he had a compass pointing straight at his destination.

Every now and then he stops and waits for Morgan to catch up with him.

Desperate to see himself worried, Almark said, running out of breath.

"I'm sorry, Almark. Go ahead." I'll catch up with you later. "

No.

Almark shakes his head.

"It's better not to break up in a forest like this." Once we're separated, we may never see each other again. ”

But...

said Morgan.

"You're wasting your time waiting for me."

"I'm going with you."

Almark said exactly.

"It's okay to be a little late. Let's go together, Morgan."

Then I added that I wanted to take care of Morgaine.

"It's not going to help if I get there alone."

"I'm sorry, Almark."

Morgan gasped and nodded.

"All right, I'll do what you say."

Mogan regrets in one corner of his head as he runs desperately shaking Little Thief's body.

Oh, I knew I'd have to lose a little more weight. Now we're going to pull Almark's leg.

Maybe we should eat less and exercise.

But this time, it's helpful and difficult because I like to eat.

If it's the same thing, you should eat it and help.

While thinking about it, Almark's back is distant again, and after a while, Almark stops and looks back.

Almark frowned with wrinkles on his nose.

"Almark, I can smell it again."

Morgan said, out of breath.

"Are you getting stronger?"

Yeah.

Almark nodded.

"Are you still the same?"

"I..."

Morgan shakes his head. Sweat splashes from my chin.

"I don't know now." I'll check back later. "

"All right."

Almark drives down the road again, then looks back at Morgan worriedly.

After a few repetitions.

At last, Almark looked back at Morgan with a smile.

"Morgan, I see you. Over there."

Really? I did it.

Morgan runs desperately as he wiggles his head.

Almark got under the tree and waited for Morgan.

"Here you go."

Almark looks up at the tree.

"This is what you painted, isn't it?"

Wait a minute.

After Morgan put his hands on his knees and panted, he lifted his face with a voice.

Yes, this is it.

Morgan looks up at the tree, glances at the leaves, and nods to Almark.

"This leaf looks just like a yu Senoizumi." And the white spots on this trunk. I'm sure this is it. "

You're a yukima mite, aren't you?

That's what Almark says and turns to the trunk of the tree.

"If this is the real thing, I'm sure."

While saying that, he hit Mars' staff firmly against the trunk.

"There's nectar in this."

The wind swirled at the tip of the cane, and the hard skin of the tree was cut.

At that moment, the sap spilled from the notch.

"I'm out."

Almark breathed out in relief.

Morgan

I looked back at Morgan and gestured.

"Check the flavor"

Yeah.

As Morgan approached the wiping tree, he stretched out his fingers and wiped away the sap.

After smelling the smell, I lick it.

Yeah.

Morgan nodded immediately.

"This is it, definitely." I can tell by the numbness. This is the taste. "

Is this the nectar used in the pie?

Almark licked the sap the same way he did with Morgan.

It's sweet.

I just nodded lightly.

There's no mistake about this.

Morgan looked at Almark with a sweaty face.

"How do I take it?"

Oh, well then.

Almark removes the tubes of wood from his pocket.

"When I was collecting berries before I met you, there was a thin tree inside that was hollow." I thought it was just right, so I cut it off. "

That's right.

Morgen looks out.

"Until such a preparation"

I'm not a carpenter, but I can do this.

While saying that, Almark scoops the honey and puts it in the cylinder.

Okay, this is it.

That's what I said.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew.

The branches of the Yukima mushroom sway.

Along with that, countless leaves, like green hats, make wave-like noises.

...... is coming.

Huh?

Morgen shouted.

Almark, did you say something?

No.

Almark shakes his head.

"I didn't do anything."

...... Zhu is coming.

Huh?

Morgan frowns.

"Almark, are you sure you didn't say anything?"

It's a tree, Morgan.

Almark said.

The leaves are talking.

Leaves?

Morgan's eyes widened.

The wind blows.

The two robes also fluttered.

The overhead leaves shake and the words that make sense are clearly mixed in.

Inselmuju is coming.

Inselmuju is coming.

Inselmuju will be here soon.

Yuki Maizumi said so.

What is Inselmuju?

Morgen looks back at Armark.

Sure.

Yeah.

Almark nodded and looked around.

"The green verde said. Even among the monsters of the green forest, pay attention to Inselmuju."

Well, then...

Careful, Morgan.

Almark holds his staff.

"I don't know where it's coming from."

He's coming.

It's coming.

Inselmuju is coming.

The leaves sing like a song.

The next moment, the ground in front of me was torn by the roar.

"Wow."

Morgan screams.

The roots of many thick trees gushed out of the ground.

It moved creepily and wobbly, as if it had a will.

Hey, Root?

Morgan screams.

Is Inselmuju a monster with roots?

No.

Almark didn't make a slight movement while holding his cane.

The eyes polished in the battle against countless monsters in the northern forest captured the essence of this monster.

"That's not a root, Morgan."

Huh?

"That's a leg."

Along with Almark's words, all the roots that were erupting bent and grabbed the ground.

Following this, a huge torso appeared as the soil was scattered.

Left-right asymmetrical, strange form of outer shell.

Hmm, it's an insect.

Morgan screams.

Is Inselmuju a monster of insects?

It was bigger than the dark demonic beast Erdain that Almark had once fought against.

A giant beetle lurking in the middle of a green forest.

Inselmuju's emotionless eyes glowed red.
