Episode 1261. Is the great grove’s night always so quiet?
Luna Mylus was heartbroken at Elio’s rather violent reaction.
When they were together in Gangho, the two never raised their voices.
There are things we agree with, but more than that, it’s because Elio followed his will.
But when Elio, whom he met again after 30 years, interrupted her and questioned her as if protesting, Luna Mylus couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Why do I hate you and be disappointed?”
“Then why are you keeping your distance from me? Why are you pushing me away when you say you came because you wanted to be with me?”
Elio glared at Luna Mylus with resentful eyes.
In fact, he had been hanging around Luna Mylus all day long.
Every time that happened, she smiled and accepted it all.
However, he only accepted it, but never approached Elio first.
It must have been the iron wall created by his 30-year-old dogfight, or his sense of qualifications that he was older than Elio.
Or maybe it’s a mix of the two.
It was difficult for Elio to discern her complex emotions—simple, if not so.
Luna Mylus, who hesitated, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“You’re still in your late twenties...”
“Is it because of your age? It’s okay. Who would look at your older sister when she is over sixty years old? My sister still looks in her twenties.”
“Others don’t know, but you know. I’m afraid they’ll think it’s the main book that doesn’t fit their age...”
“Am I? Where are you looking? Do you still say things like that after seeing me teasing you all day?”
“Foot!”
At Elio’s words, Luna Mylus burst into laughter.
Surely he’s been quite mean today.
To put it bluntly, it hovered around him like a dog in heat.
Considering his usual personality, it was clear that he was not close to women in another world.
“Why are you laughing?”
Instead of answering, Luna Mylus jumped up from her seat.
“let’s go.”
“yes? Where?”
“Where is the room? Don’t expect to get some rest tonight. You are one year, but I have endured for thirty years.”
After a while, she wrapped her arms around Elio’s arms tightly with both hands.
As Luna Mylus’ body touched his elbow, Elio hurriedly led her to this floor.

Next day.
After breakfast, Elio and the others leisurely entered the Great Forest.
Daesurim is so rough that it is difficult for horses and carriages to travel.
Of course, Elio and the others had to move on their own two feet.
Fabian, who was walking along the narrow road in the forest in the lead group, grumbled with a tired face.
“Wow! Surely it won’t be like this until the end? But is this road right?”
Then Baron Howard Solon replied.
“For now, there is only one road, so it will be right. If the road diverges later, then you have to look at the constellations.”
“Have you ever been to the Abyss?”
“It’s my first time too. I only learned how to get to the Abyss in theory at the academy. The only place in the southern kingdom where Abyss travel is practiced is the academy of the kingdom of Adria.”
At those words, Crea, who was from the Adria Kingdom Academy, quietly intervened.
“It’s not until Abyss, but I stay in the Great Forest for three days and then go back. Oh, I’m from Adria Kingdom Academy. I had a great forest experience only in my senior year.”
“ah!”
Fabian looked at Crea with new eyes.
His swordsmanship skills are also top-notch, but I didn’t expect him to have experience in Daesoorim.
“It’s nothing great, so don’t expect it. They say it’s three days, but in fact, it’s just that I stayed at the beginning of the great forest and then went back.”
Then Baron Howard Solon said something.
“Three days in the Great Forest is great. It takes about 15 days to Abyss?”
“As long as you don’t get lost on the road.”
As if someone had used it as a campground, there were traces of a fire burning everywhere.
In the end, Elio and his party also decided to stay overnight there.
People scattered to make their own overnight shelters.
Only Elio’s party and the saintess were sitting leisurely as if it were someone else’s business.
Baron Solon, who was contemplating where to sleep for Count Elio Lagoa, summoned Fabian gently.
“I need to make Lagoa-sama’s bed, but I don’t know how.”
“Oh, then you don’t have to worry about that.”
“Is there anyone else besides me who will make Lord Lagoa’s bed?”
“there is.”
“Who are you? Are you a Holy Knight?”
Baron Solon looked at Fabian with expectant eyes.
Considering the relationship between the saintess and the Count of Lagoa, that possibility was not out of the question.
“no. Lord Lagoa’s bed will be prepared by Lord Lagoa.”
“Sir Lagoa? Are you saying that His Excellency the Count himself does such a thing?”
Baron Solon looked at Fabian with bewildered eyes.
The counts of the southern kingdoms are not doing anything with their own hands, but the counts of the empire make a bed?
“Trust me and wait. Can’t you see me and Sir Omar playing?”
“Come to think of it, why don’t you two prepare?”
“Sir Lagoa has our bed too.”
After speaking, Fabian glanced at Baron Solon.
Although he had been homeless a few times when riding in a stagecoach with Baron Solon and his party, Count Elio Lagoa did not use subspace magic in front of others.
But now the situation is different from then.
Both the saintess’ party and Baron Solon’s party were not meant to pass by for a moment.
Not to mention saints, Baron Solon, a magic swordsman, and Tynelock, a barbarian, were the ones who caught the eyes of Count Elio Lagoa – though they may not be aware of it.
In front of them, it seemed that Count Elio Lagoa would not hide his subspace magic.
just as expected!
Count Elio Lagoa, who had been laughing and chatting with the saintess, suddenly pulled out a tent and a bed from the air.
Having a tent does not mean that a bed is complete.
Fabian patted Baron Solon on the shoulder and walked forward.
“Let’s go pitch a tent.”
“Is that subspace magic?”
“What are you asking out of the blue when you know Lord Lagoa is a magic swordsman?”
“....”
Baron Solon looked at Fabian with devastated eyes.
Even if they are magic swordsmen, most of them only use magic that is less than Circle 4.
Magic is as difficult as swordsmanship, and in some ways more difficult than swordsmanship.
That’s why magic swordsmen don’t succeed so much.
However, sub-space magic is a secret technique of high-ranking wizards, and wizards below the 4th circle do not even know the spell.
I knew that Count Elio Lagoa was the Grand Master, but I thought he would even reach a higher level of magic!
There were two tents Elio took out of Mahadam.
Fabian and Baron Solon diligently set up a tent and put a bed inside.
As soon as Elio and the saintess finished supper, they went into the tent and did not come out.
The other one was to be used by Count Larva Omar, Fabian, and the Holy Knight.
Baron Solon and his party made a bed between the two tents.
A bed was all about laying leaves on a flat floor.
Baron Solon, who was lying on the leaves and looking at the Black Forest, asked Crea.
“Are the nights of the great grove so quiet? From what I learned at the academy, beasts run amok.”
“It’s the first time I’ve had such a quiet night.”
Then, Tinelock muttered to himself.
“It’s like looking at Ishika’s forgotten shrine.”
Baron Solon and Crea shook their heads.
Certainly this strange peace resembled the forgotten temple of Ishika.
