Itâs good that Ciel helped, but isnât that a problem?\n
âUm, what did you say about Ciel, Mr. Gilmouth?
âYou donât have to worry. Gilmouth, or Master, said Adandala was smart enough to say that.â
âReally?
âNo, Iâve never heard of it. Probably saw Gilmouthâs attitude and decided there was something the master said to put the place awayâ
Iâll explain the situation to your master later.
I feel better about that.
âSo Ivy, Iâm talking about Ciel, can I talk to my master? Me and Gilmouth guarantee that guy. Because Iâm definitely not the kind of person who talks to people.â
âItâs no problem. âCause I think I should let my master know too.â
âThank you. Keep your master at your side and Ivy and Ciel will definitely be protected no matter whatâ
Thatâs an amazing trust.
Thatâs what your master has been doing to make you think so.
Iâd like to hear about the old days next time.
⊠stories about Mr. Druid and Mr. Gilmouthâs past, etc., sounds interesting.
âPu?â
When I turn my gaze to Mr. Druidâs head on Soraâs voice, Sora is ringing towards the opposite forest where I am.
Find out if thereâs anything, but nothing in particular.
âSola?â
Whatâs the matter with you?
Thereâs no sign of anythingâŠ
âPu, pu, pu.â
Oh, itâs back to normal.
I wonder what it was.
âAre you okay?â
âPuffy.â
Looks fine.
I care, but I donât feel any signs.
I want to understand what Sora is saying⊠but you just canât.
âLooking okay?
âYes. Looks fine. What was it?
âI donât know, but you rang a little differently than usualâ
It was a slightly tailed way of ringing, like I do wonder something.\n
I feel like itâs the first time Iâve heard the way it sounds up the end of the story.
So I got up a little bit, but it doesnât seem to be a problem.
Sola is already in a good mood, exercising vertically over Mr. Druidâs head.
Youâre used to seeing it.
âWell, itâs bad for Ciel, but itâs time to go back. If you stay in the woods long enough, the gatekeeperâs gonna come looking for you.â
No way, I donât think so.
Well, I know youâre worried.
âIâm sorry, Ciel. Thanks for helping the people in town this time. But donât do anything unscrupulous. You canât get hurt!
âNya-yay.â
Do you understand that?
Youâre worried.
Break up with Ciel and walk the road back to town.
Sola is getting off Mr. Druidâs head and bouncing around with piompions.
Apparently, youâre in a pretty good mood.
âSora, is it time for you to go back to your bag?
âPuppy, puppy.â
Jump big with Piong and keep it in my arms.
Is that it?
Could it have jumped at a good distance?
Until now, Iâve tweaked it, and Iâve caught it.
Now, it jumped naturally into my chest.
âSolaâŠâŠ mayhem?
âBuh.â
⊠âBuâ?
âWhoa, is that a new way of ringing? Sure sounds more like youâre complaining about the way it sounds.â
Mr. Druidâs impressed voice walking next door enters my ear.
It doesnât seem to be a mistake.
âIâm sorry. And itâs amazing, you can now measure the distance.â
âPu ~â
I wonder if itâs evolution or growth?
Either way, itâs a little easier to understand how you feel now.
âThank you, Solaâ \nâPuffy?â
Oh, the end of the story is up.
Lovely.
Caress Sora thoroughly before putting her in the bag.
Flem fell asleep again with a big yawn when Sola went in.
âNo more Flem.â
I donât have a choice.
Flem has Flemâs growthâŠâŠ I may have never seen him stretch before.
I donât think Iâve seen Soraâs stretch.
Extension, is this also evolution or growth?
Donât worry.
Slowly returning to town, I feel signs of coming this way from afar.
After a while, I see the three gatekeepers coming this way with heavy gear.
âI knew it.â
Mr. Druidâs shuddered voice.
I didnât know you were really coming.
Besides, I think itâs only been a few dozen minutes.
âI came to see how you were worried. Have you done your errands yet?
âYes, thank youâ
âWell, letâs go home because weâre gonna get security.â
Protection is the gate as soon as I walk a little further.
âYou guys, I told you it was okay.â
âThere is. You canât let a future child die.â
The oldest looking gatekeeper, he says.
I kind of feel like Iâm burning amazing.
Is it your fault?
âYes, sir. What happened to Gilmouth and the others?
âWe came back a while ago. Secure the grub and chicken meat.â
âRight. Ivy, put your face on the guild, but what do we do?
âIâll go with you. Because I want to thank your master.â
Letâs have a listen there.
\nâOh, this way.â
I see your masterâs voice from the top of the stairs, so Iâm waving.
Up the stairs, two men of similar age to your master.
Guess who?
âDid you come after all? Those two are former associates of the Master. Those three were teaming up.â
Was he speaking to his people, as Mr Druid said?
âGood morning. Long time no see.â
Two people are returning their greetings to Mr. Druidâs words.
Unlike your master, it looks serious.
âIs Ivy with you, good morning? Iâd like you to meet Maral and Tambas.â
Two people wave at me, so I bow my head.
âNice to meet you, Ivy.â
âNice to meet you. Itâs Maral.â
âNice to meet you, Tambas.â
âThis Ivy discovered what we just talked about. Youâd be smart.â
âHo, wowâ
Discovery?
I wonder what it is.
âWeâll look into the demons downstairs. Iâll report it when I find out what it is. Maral, letâs go.â
Mr. Maral and Mr. Tambas go down the stairs to check out the demons outside.
Would you even dismantle it there?
Oh, more than that, I wanted to talk to your master.
âMaster, I need to ask you something.â
âHmm? Iâm busy right now, okay?
âMaster, listen to me firstâ
To Mr. Druidâs serious expression, his master refers to a room nearby.
âThank youâ
When the three of us enter the room, the master takes something out.
When you look at it, the same thing as a magic item that doesnât divulge the conversation Mr. Borolda had outside.
After all, the adventurer who stuck it up there has it.
