561 Chapter 544: Moving

"Hey, hey! Wait a minute!"

As expected, this time I'll have to respond.

Without listening to Zeke stop, I have to prepare for magic.

But.

"Calm down! Let's talk peacefully here!" I'll take care of it! "

"No... I don't think I need that."

I stop preparing for magic and ask about the forest.

This is definitely the Forest of Dusk.

However, there was no membrane that made the Forest of Dusk the Forest of Dusk.

The Forest of Dusk is no different than the Forest of Dusk.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

"The Dragon Man Clan... seems to have left the forest"

I can't think of anything else.

Looks like he moved out while I was fighting Hydra.

"She left the forest..."

"We should think of it as a transfer." I guess you have a base other than this one. "

”No, no... I haven't been fighting that long...?”

"It wouldn't be surprising if I had originally prepared for it." They're hiding. It's only natural to have an evacuation spot. ”

Nevertheless, it is too early.

That's a terrible decision.

What do you think?

"Hey! In the woods!" Take a look! "

Sieg pointed to the woods.

There were fallen children.

Five people......

Shit, I'm going to check it out.

Could it be a trap again?

That time is that time.

Sieg rushes into the woods and underneath the children.

After carefully checking the condition of the five children,

"Everyone's breathing!" I don't see any trauma! "

"Did you break the rules?" It's surprisingly flexible. "

"Don't come across such an idea so often..."

Then what?

"It would be a manifestation of intention to abandon your place and break the rules, but I don't want to engage with you." Even when Loretta, the daughter of the Dragon Man I saved, was captured, she didn't even move her place? "

"It's a terrible story."

"I think I'm wise." Come on, let's get him out of here! You might catch a cold here. "

That's true, too.

Unintended mission accomplishment.

With little dissatisfaction, I took my children and transferred them.

■■■

"Well done, Silver."

"I didn't do anything."

With the children, we were back under Olyhime.

The children are taken care of by the men of the castle.

I will wake up soon.

"That's why the Dragon Man Clan gave in." You should be proud. "

"I'm not proud of you."

"You look disgruntled, don't you? Mission completed successfully. Isn't it the perfect result for an adventurer?"

"I'm glad my child is safe. But now, the Dragon Man clues are gone."

"They are hidden dwellers. I don't have a choice."

“It's not an easy situation to give up if you can't help it. In the current situation where demons are appearing, the knowledge of 500 years ago is useful. At least I wanted to talk to the elder."

"Hmm, I wish I could look ahead." So what do we do? "

I was a little silent in response to Olyhime's question.

I don't have time for that.

But if we back off here, we'll lose our chance to investigate the Dragon Man race.

It's important to move as an Arnold, but I'm an SS adventurer.

We have to think about contributing to the continent.

At least the Duke has Henrik dressed as me.

Let's ask you to do your best. Fine and Sebastian will support us where we don't.

"If you'll allow me... I'd like to look into it a little bit more"

Hmm, it's hard to let SS adventurers like to investigate Japan on their own.

Olyhime's words are taken for granted as those who hold key positions in the country.

Human weapons fly around the country calling it an investigation.

The people will think something is wrong.

You still haven't solved the case? and unwanted suspicions.

But...

"Well, Mizuho is also a member of the continent." It would be a problem to refuse to cooperate here. I'll allow it under the authority of my concubine. "

"Thank you."

"However, try to reduce the number of monsters as much as possible." You're not gonna hurt me, are you? It is forbidden to harm the Dragon Man Clan. There must be a reason more than living in hiding. If we don't show sincerity, we can't win trust. "

Got it.

Hearing my words, Olyhime smiles.

I'm laughing, but from now on the ministers will complain.

We can't keep this going too long.

I will leave Olyhime's house and return to the castle.

Then I stopped by the room where the children were sleeping.

How's it going?

I'm still asleep.

I was just wondering, did you get angry?

"Anger? Why?"

"I was able to turn into a bear because I could break the rules just as I came." Don't you remember the anger? "

"I don't think you're here." I guess it was their choice between survival and protecting the law. Besides, adults and children can't talk in the same line. "

"I see. That's good. Then we can take them. I'll find out where the Dragon Man is."

"Huh? What kind of wind is that?"

"They have so much to ask. Something about the devil."

"You're an old mighty who took part in the war 500 years ago... so why don't you ask the children?" It's the only clue? "

"It doesn't make sense. I can also use memory manipulation a bit, but I can't get a strong memory." But not the children. The child's memory is always ambiguous. I still can't process the information. So, it's not hard to operate. "

Sieg is not surprised by my words, he is convinced.

It's hard to erase memories in the woods, but it's possible to modify them differently.

If I were you, I'd give the kids false memories and confuse them.

Then it is better not to rely on it.

"So, what do we do?" There's no clue. "

"I can't say that." The Dusk Forest would have been a favorite location for the Dragon Man clan. If we find a place like that, we'll get there eventually. "

”You're going to use your legs... I'm going to break my bones”

"Don't worry, I have help to give you."

Do you have someone who likes to hang out with you?

"Yes, my disciple."

That's why I laughed in the mask.
