Part 2

They advanced within the forest.

When compared to the forest on the outskirts of Faltra City, the density was much higher and the visibility was bad. There was undergrowth that grew to knee-height, and since the ground couldn’t be seen, one could be tripped up by the unevenness of the soil.

The one that took the lead was Shera. After her was Diablo and Rem, with Rafleisha following after them. Rose came along at the end.

The current party members were these five people.

Shera turned her head back.

「Heyー heyー, it’s going to be night, you know?」

「……Since this is a deep forest, we cannot walk like you Elves.」

Rem made a counterargument.

「I chose a place that’s pretty easy to walk through thoughー.」

「……Kuh……I could leave you behind in an instant if we were in the plains though.」

It would be bad to leave her behind.

Diablo got worried.

「We’ve walked for quite a bit but are we going in the right direction?」

「Kyaaaaa～～～～～～～～～～～～!!」

A scream could be heard from the front.

「Shera!?」

Diablo’s consciousness was completely separated from the way he walked. The information that it was hard to walk through here was blown out from his mind, and he accelerated as if he were running on level ground.

Passing through the gaps of the trees like wind, he arrived at the location that the scream was raised.
