"Morning."

There was a troubled look Mr. Druid when he left the tent.

Tilt your neck to it.

"Good morning. Can I help you?

"I'm sorry early in the morning, can you follow me for a second?

Looks like something really happened.

"Okay. Can I have a moment, please? I'll have it ready in a minute."

"You can take your time. Sorry."

Aren't you in a hurry?

Return to the tent and tell Sora and Flem what Mr. Druid called you.

"Will you come with me?

To my inquiry, two of them gave me a puffy shake at each speed.

This means' fine '.

The two recently learned not to shake away their gaze if they didn't like it.

When they first did, I was surprised.

I wasn't quite in a hurry because I hadn't figured out what it meant yet.

"Thank you for waiting"

"Sorry, early this morning"

"Because I was going to go find Mr. Druid when I finished dinner too"

"Right. Uh, did you hear what I said?

"I haven't heard the details. It's just that the three of them came back with more injuries...... is that true?

"Yeah, but they treated me well, so I'm fine"

I'm glad it's okay, but was it still just the three of us?

"Can I get around here?

"What?"

I was here about Mr. Druid, so I hadn't checked the location.

Looking around, somewhere a little off the boulevard with no people around.

"Gilmouth hasn't announced the details yet, because now everyone is listening. Unless you have a magic item, there's a good chance people will ask. Sorry, Ivy, are there any signs of people around here? 'Cause I can't get a sign."

Are you saying you don't want to be heard?

The signs of people......

"There seems to be no one around us because there are no signs."

"Thank you, three of you, but from what Gilmouth has heard, it looks like Ciel has helped."

"... eh!

I'm talking about Ciel, so you searched for a place where no people were.

Or did Ciel help you?

"Really?

"Oh. I'm badly injured, but my consciousness seems clear. Gilmouth told me that the three of them came back close to town but were surrounded by gurbars and chijicas."

"Chijica?"

"I'm a big, big demon of character with big fangs, but it seems to be getting ferocious"

"Really?"

"Looks like they came in quite a crowd, and when they thought they couldn't do it anymore, a demon that looked terribly like Adandala suddenly appeared and said they had defeated Grubbal and Chijica who were there"

Knocked him out?

If it was really Ciel, it would have been pretty tough.

"They took it all down, and they thought it was our turn next, and they carried their foot injured buddies on their backs, and they carried them to town."

You'd be a good kid if you were Ciel.

I have to compliment you.

"Now behind the woods, Gilmouth and his master, along with several adventurers, are going to confirm the carcasses of Gulbal and Chijica"

"Um, can we go to the woods? I'd like to make sure it's really Ciel."

"Gilmouth gave me permission. Do you know where he is? There may be a chance we'll go to Gilmouth and the others."

"What do you think? I don't know what to do like Ciel in the woods. Is that Ciel hurt or something?

"Ah, bad. I don't know about the injury because I didn't speak directly to the adventurer."

"Really?"

Is it okay to deal with two kinds of fierce demons?

The medicine for the injury... is everything okay because Sola is here?

"Shall we go to the woods?

"Yes."

The people of town gather on the boulevard to talk, but there is a lot of grief.

Until yesterday, there was still room for something.

"Rumors are already spreading all over town."

"Right. The square was also quite rushed in the morning."

"When the top adventurer gets hit, it hurts a lot. Whoever protects the town won't have long to make a scene."

"Is Mr. Gilmouth okay?

"Master has a good idea."

"Are you the master?

Why is your master here?

"He was a well-known top adventurer. He's probably speaking to his former buddies, too."

Was your master an amazing adventurer?

Ex-companions, are they from the team?

"If the people in town make a scene, they should probably keep it down before they get on the table and riot. Use their names in full. Gilmouth will be easier to move if the masters deal with the people of the town"

Was the master coming to town thinking about what if?

I don't know, that's amazing.

"Huh, you can't keep your head up forever"

"You're a wonderful master"

"... if I don't have a teasing habit, it would be better."

Am I?

Because of that personality, I feel like a master.

"Good luck"

"Mr. Druid, are you sure you want to go to the woods? Take me to Ivy."

"I want to be sure, because I really do. Please."

The gatekeeper is a little confused.

Probably can't possibly take a kid to the woods in this situation.

But I need it, so please.

"Ha, be really, really careful"

"Oh, I'll protect you if anything happens, I'll be fine"

"... be careful"

Did Mr. Gatekeeper give up, open the gate and let me out?

You're totally familiar with me.

"Thank you. I'm coming."

Say hello and head to the woods.

Well, where will Ciel be?

In the meantime... a dump, I guess.

"Where shall we go?

"Let's go to the dump."

The two of us head to the dump.

Check around the way and get Sola out of the bag.

"Sora, don't go far because the demons Grubal and Chijica are getting violent and rampant"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft."

Flem... you're still asleep.

"Flem, isn't it time to stay awake longer? I've got a firm body."

"Teriyu ~... Riu ~..."

I don't know why I told you to wake up, but sleep in the middle of a ringing.

Mm-hmm. We'll discuss the ferocity once it's cleared up.

Or let's beg you to stay awake longer.

Yeah.

"Sorry to keep you waiting... I did"

Soon Sora will be in the classic position.

You really like it over Mr. Druid's head.

"What's going on?

Nor does Mr. Druid have any doubts about having Sora on his head.

I wonder about that.

"No, shall we go... Ah, Siel, I'm here"

I fluttered in the wind and felt signs of Ciel.

Waiting as it were, Ciel descends from the fluttering tree top.

I immediately look around my whole body.

It doesn't look like he's hurt, there's no blood on it.

"Ciel, did you protect the adventurers in town?

"Nya-yay."

Hey, Doya. Facial Ciel.

Apparently definitely in Ciel.

"Was it Ciel after all? Thanks."

Mr. Druid gently strokes Ciel's head.

"Mr. Ciel, you're smart. Wow. But I was worried you might be hurt. Was it okay?

I looked all over my body and thought it was fine, but I might be injured where I can't see it.

"Nya-yay."

Does that mean you're okay?

Good.

Nevertheless.

"It was tough, wasn't it? It's amazing how many Grubals and Chijicas there were."

"Nya-yay."

Oh, I know I'm in a great mood.

Eh, I hate to say it...... but exactly.

"Ciel, eh. Let's keep our tails down a little bit."

Tail that stops perfectly.

And I'll put my ears to sleep a little bit, Ciel.

Ah, that's why I didn't want to tell you.

Absolutely, Ciel, it's depressing.

"I'm not mad, and I'm not in trouble. It's just a little dusty..."

What are you talking about, I...

The extra ciel depresses me.

"Ciel, thank you for helping my fellow town. They said," Thank God for your life. "

Thank you, Mr. Druid.

Ciel's tail shakes gently.

Good, now you're adding and subtracting me.

"Cool, Ciel"

My tail shakes violently twice in my words but quickly turns into a slow shake.

Ciel is cute, but so is your tail.
