Proceed along the river on the 5th.

Mr Fischer said that one more day's walk would take him to the village road.

"Wait."

Everyone stops at Ginal's words.

"It's a sign of people."

When I look for the signs for Mr. Ginal, there are definitely five signs.

There's just something wrong with the sign.

It doesn't feel like it's disappearing like an adventurer, but it's pretty thin.

"The signs are faint. That's why you haven't noticed."

Mr. Fischer didn't notice either.

"This thinness. Are you dying?"

My father held the sword by my side while watching his surroundings.

I guess so. What do we do? "

Mr. Fischer immediately took a sword and increased his vigilance.

"There are no signs of monsters around here, but it's hard to read signs of a runaway monster."

Ginal sees something when she receives the map from Fischer.

"They may be near the village road."

Village road.

That means that in addition to the runaway monsters, there is also the possibility that they were attacked by bandits.

"You're alive, right?"

"Oh, you're alive because of the signs. Now."

Fischer and Ginal meet face to face.

I'm not sure if I can help.

Can you help me?

Dad said he could get into trouble for helping.

But I want to help you more than live.

"I see. You'll regret it if you don't help me."

Nod to your father who laughs at me.

If something goes wrong, you may regret helping.

But you'll regret it even more if you don't help me.

"Sure, when something goes wrong, is that the time?If anything happens to you, don't run away, Sierra. "

Jinal slaps Siel in the head.

Nyahn

"Reliable"

Ginal's mouth eased at the confident sound of Sierra's voice.

When the drifting tension fades, he walks towards the one with the signs.

"Do you use Sora's potion?"

If you were attacked, you'd be hurt, right?

"No, let's stop that.It's a mess if they see us. "

Oh, I see.

Is that it?

I saw Sora jumping next to me.

The injured person and monster will heal immediately, but I won't go today.

Could it be an injury?

Well, that was a distance.

Approximately 30 minutes after you find any signs.

Slightly off the village road, there was a fallen carriage and two horses that were already dead.

And six men who look adventurous just by their physique.

There are only five signs of it, so one of them is probably dead already.

Looking at the person who died of depression, he leans his neck a little.

Something bothers me.

I think about it a little, but I don't know what it is.

What is it?

"Looks like there's nothing out there. Let's go."

Dinal approached the five people who were down while watching the perimeter.

Thinking about what happened, my father and I stopped by to see what happened.

I had Sierra and Sola in my bag because I was in trouble seeing them.

"Are you okay? Potion, drink."

Ginal and Fischer let the five of them drink potions one after the other.

It is a regular potion, so it will be effective immediately.

"Long time ago, I saw potions with unchanged colors.Why does that make you feel uncomfortable?It's a real potion. "

Nod to your father with a bitter smile.

I also felt uncomfortable watching regular potions.

I'm sure it's because I see a deteriorated version of the colored potion every day.

"Every day I touch a potion with a different colour, and if I feel a little strange, Sola or Flem's light potion.You don't touch regular potions. "

Yeah, it's in my bag.

When I got injured, I used Sola's potion if there were no people around, but I couldn't use it if there were others.

For that reason, your father has a regular potion.

I haven't had a chance to show up yet.

Ah, I once put a regular potion out of my bag.

It was time to change to a new one, so I didn't use it and it was everyone's dinner.

Looks like you're okay.

Behind his gaze were five people standing up and talking.

Does the pain still remain in the body, and the movement is somewhat unclear.

Looking at the movements of the five, Mr. Ginal signaled that he was "okay."

In the meantime, they won't be attacking soon.

"Ivy, be careful. They look like merchants, but they're probably adventurers...."

I look up at my father who hangs up on the way.

I feel like it stopped somewhere unnatural.

"Dad?"

What's the matter with you?

"Sorry, I don't think their movements have any Adventurer-specific roughness."

Roughness?

When I look at the situation of the five people again, do you say politely that there is something there?

Seems a little different from the adventurers you see in your village or town.

"Doloid, Ivy"

Get out of the hiding place in Mr. Ginal's words.

He's one of us. Come here.

Confirm the status of the five while approaching.

For the merchant, he was too strong and he was not surprised to see us.

My father and I were so blind that merchants wouldn't notice.

Moreover, unlike merchants, the signs they feel are quite sharp.

"You don't want to delude me?"

What do you think?

Don't tell me you've forgotten like an adventurer you met in an illegal dump?

... no, no way.

They say they're knights.

That's good.

I didn't forget.

Mr Ginal is tilting his neck at my glance.

And he smiled bitterly and shook his head sideways.

"Knight?"

Yes, Mr. Ginal said he was a knight.

Why are the knights dressed as merchants?

Look at the bodies of five people.

Apart from his physical appearance and signs, he doesn't look like a merchant... does he?

No, you can't, can you?

The eyes of three people are too sharp when looking at people.

You tried.

Pu, ahahaha

Dinal burst into your father's mouth.

The oldest of the five people looked, nodding that they laughed bitterly at their father's condition.

"I know. Something I couldn't do."

The other four seem uncomfortable with his words.

Maybe they thought they couldn't be merchants.

"You should have been an adventurer if you were going to disguise yourself."

One of the knights shook his head to the side of his father, who smiled like a beast.

"We need to pretend that the wind is not entirely powerful."

Huh?

Isn't that physically impossible?

"The merchants hire people to carry their baggage, so I thought it would be okay if they cut it off."

Look at the whole body of the knight talking.

Tall and muscular.

Sure, I can't even see it if it's called carrying luggage.

They're not as good as the knights in front of them, but they're in good shape.

But then why are you dressed like a merchant?

Those carrying luggage look lighter.

"Then you won't be dressed."

Is that so? I had a little doubt, but I was supposed to be dressed like a luggage carrier, so I wondered if we were mistaken.It looks like there was a mistake. "

A knight returns a pathetic expression to his daddy's stupid expression.

When they laugh at each other, they see a person who is dead in sight.

Speaking of which, I forgot because it was mild, but there were people who died.

"Um, he..."

Referring to a person who died on a depression, one of the knights lifted the arm of the deceased person.

Huh?

I'm a little surprised at the clutter of handling.

"Doll."

A doll?

Look at your father and see the person being lifted.

"It's really a doll."

Is that why you noticed a little when I saw it earlier?

And yet, why the doll?
