Mr. Salifah looked out of the dining room as he went down to the ground floor to go to the dump.

"Morning. The captain has contacted me asking me to stop by the filling room, do you think I can go?

From Captain Tableau?

Is there something I can do for you?

Looking at Mr. Druid, he was also a little inclined in the neck.

"Okay. I'll stop by after business."

When Mr Druid replies, Mr Salifah nods happily.

"Well, please. Go away."

"" I'm coming ""

Leave the inn and head to the dump.

"Is something wrong?

"You didn't say that yesterday, did you?

Yesterday, I went to see if there were any magic items I had asked Mr. Rose's store for.

Just then, Captain Tableau came home and said hello, but nothing was said at that time.

Did something happen after that?

"Is it because I told you I was going on a journey?

Shake your head at my words, Mr. Druid.

"It wouldn't matter much"

Well, is that right?

"Am I forgetting something?

Something you forgot with Captain Tableau?

You're starting to feel like there's something.

Hmm?

"" Ah, Demon Stone ""

I totally forgot because I was bummed about other issues.

"With that said, you haven't paid for the Demon Stone you provided"

"You did."

With that said, how many did you end up offering?

I counted firmly along the way, but discovered when I saw a piece of paper that had written a number of things I had completely forgotten along the way.

After that, it was a little sloppy.

"Do you remember how many I offered you?

"No, what about Ivy?

"Not at all."

"Well, it's about Captain Tableau, so you'll be fine."

"Yeah. So I remembered, I'm sorry about the item"

I had a lot of research done using Mr. Rose's handover, but I still didn't have the items to build up my magic.

There was an item to help with the laundry, so Mr. Druid bought it immediately.

"That's right."

The towns around Wang and Wang Capitals seem to have more people than the larger towns around here.

The abandonment area seems to be huge because of it, but there will be a lot of people around to encounter.

Sola and Flem potions and swords can somehow be deluded if we pick them up.

But Sol's magic can't be done without Sol on the spot, so it's very unpleasant.

"We have to find a way."

I tried everything I could.

Well, the result was a disastrous failure.

There's still a little distance around Wang Capital, but I'm afraid I'm going to be unable to help anything as I am.

What I know for now is that I can manage to maintain the status quo without having to eat for 3 days.

Only that my body gradually gets smaller from around day 4.

Too many things are still unknown.

Say hello to the gatekeepers on duty today and walk through the gate.

"Mr. Druid, Ivy, there you go. Be careful."

We were able to get along very well during this winter.

Well, I went almost every day when I could go to the woods.

Looks like all the gatekeepers remembered their faces and names.

"Thanks, I'll be there"

"Oh, yeah. Be careful with the sightings of the animals."

Have the animals woken up from hibernation yet?

The ground is still covered with snow and the wind is still cold.

I feel a little early.

"Is it Fock?

The gatekeeper nods at Mr. Druid's question.

"Roger. Where will the place be that I saw it?

"Near the cave where the demon stone was found."

Is it far from the dump?

Good.

"Okay. Thanks."

I wave to the gatekeepers who wave at me and head to the woods.

"Aren't you waking up early from hibernation?

"Fock is an animal that can be seen sometimes during the winter months. I'm guessing you've broadened your range of action because the cold has settled a little."

You mean you won't be hibernating when you see winter?

Do some animals not hibernate?

I looked into demons that attack people well in books and information, but you didn't really study animals that are safer than demons.

Only high-risk animals studied.

"What kind of animal is Fock?

"Don't you know?

When I nodded, he told me that he was an animal with a long, grumpy tail.

A frowned face?

I can't imagine it at all.

"Are you a dangerous animal?

"I think it's a little dangerous. Because I have poison in my tail."

Poison?

"Isn't that a little?

"If we don't attack from here, they won't attack us, so we're fine."

So, are you okay?

I came some distance from the gate, so I open the bag lid.

They were awake today, both Flem and Sol, and they jumped out of the bag.

"You're all here today."

"Yeah. Well, let's go to the dump"

Head to the dump, paying attention to the signs around.

It's time to replenish the missing potions to get on the journey.

I don't need the blue potion and the red potion because Sola and Flem made it for me, but the latter two types.

The green potion and the purple potion need to be ready.

And the potion and sword for the rice that Solas needed.

"I've been trying to make sure."

"What?"

We're going to the town around Wang Du.

"Yeah."

When Ciel returned to the figure of Adandala, he saw the Solas jump on Ciel's back.

They're all sweet on Ciel, aren't they?

"There are three towns connected from Wang Du, but which towns are we going to?

"That's what I don't know."

"What? What do you mean?

I've asked the fortune teller many times, but he didn't give me the name of the town, did he?

"The fortune-teller said it was a town next to or around the king's capital. If you go, you'll find out."

Speaking of which, the fortune teller said he had never been to the King's Capital.

When I asked what kind of place it was, I said, "I've never been there, so I don't know."

"Get close there and you'll see... Could it be the Forest of Light?

"Forest of Light?

"Oh, it's also said to be the beginning of this world."

What would I do if I went to a place like that?

"That place is a strange place. Even so, I don't know if it's true because I just heard it."

"What wonder is there?

"They have a small church behind the forest of light. It is said that the chosen person can enter only once and make dreams come true."

Church?

Then I don't want to go anywhere else.

"It's that church, but it's not like any other church in this country and nobody's there," he said.

"What? 'Cause who manages it or cleans it?

"I'm not here. But it's always beautiful. The roof."

"Roof?"

"Yes, it seems that only the roof can be seen from among the trees because no one can enter the forest of light"

Church in the woods where no one can get in.

Where the chosen person can only let in once.

Kind of like a fantasy.

"Fantasy, isn't it?"

"Hmm? 'Phew Ta-da'?

Is that it?

I wonder if that could have been my word before.

"That sounds like my knowledge from before"

"Right."

With that said, there's a lot of stuff in my knowledge before that that that looks a lot like it.

You felt sick about that for a time.

"The goal is Kashme village with the forest of light, okay?

Forest of Light.

Don't worry about it for sure.

I don't know if the fortune teller said anything about the forest.

"Yeah. Let's do that"

"Kashme Village, I've never seen you before."

"Really?

"Oh, I didn't have a good impression of the church, so I avoided it."

I see.

Mr. Druid's been having trouble with his skills, too.

"Are you okay now?

"Of course."

Look Mr. Druid in the eye.

Doesn't look like you're pushing it.

Then I guess I'll be fine.

I'm still a little complicated.

But you have no more aversion to the church than before.

I didn't even like to see it before.

Mm-hmm. A little different.

I guess I was more scared than not.

"You're getting more new garbage."

Point your gaze at Mr. Druid's words to the dump.

Sure, there's more litter in the dump at once.

"Looks like you brought the garbage we were collecting in the village."

Oh, did the garbage we were collecting in part of the village get moved?

You can pick it up all you want.

Oh, Sora and the others seem happy.

"Do your best to pick it up"

"Yeah."
