"Wow, there are traces here too"

Mr. Druid looks harsh as he examines the traces left by Grubal.

"What's amazing?

This forest has been in this situation for as long as I know.

I don't know what's amazing.

I'm going into the woods to rendezvous with Ciel and set a trap.

Mr. Druid is twisting his neck firmly as he looks around.

I walked towards the back of the woods for about 30 minutes and there was a tree, but I sighed loudly when I found traces there as well.

"Gulbal doesn't get out of places where he's used to a strong sense of territory. I never thought I'd be walking around so extensively."

"Really? But not just here, but everywhere in this forest, there are traces of Gulbal."

"Isn't it just here?

"Yes, there were traces just across town, too."

"I checked Gulbal's scope of action before, but I didn't tend to do this at that time."

In my words, Mr. Druid's eyebrows have become amazing.

"Speaking of which, someone you know said you got a perimeter survey request in."

"Puffy ~"

Sora, who was jumping around, made a huge leap as she rang.

"Ah!"

"Huh?

Landing on Mr. Druid's head, which I've been thinking about as it is.

…………

The two of us gaze at each other too much.

"Excuse me."

"No, maybe you're mad at me for thinking about it. He said he must be here to set a trap."

"Pu!"

It's like, 'Yes, you're right,' and Sora's chirping like you're saying.

"I'm sorry, Sola. Let's find a place to set it up."

"Puppy, puppy."

"Before that, Sola. Shall I step out of Mr. Druid's head?"

"Pu! Pu!"

Oh, you're refusing this.

I don't know how I'm going to get it down, even if I can't get it down, I'll jump right on it.

"Does that mean Sora's good here?

"Excuse me, I'll be right down"

"Buh!"

Don't feel like you're complaining completely.

Or I don't exercise vertically over people's heads!

"It's okay. I don't want Sola to be heavy."

"Puffy ~"

Oh, Mr. Druid, you can't say that word.

I'm in a completely sitting position.

"Put it down as soon as your neck hurts"

To some extent, I need Mr. Druid to do his best to get off.

Excuse me.

"Copy that, Sora. Be careful not to fall."

"Pup!"

Looks like you're in a pretty good mood.

Speaking of which, I haven't been in a bad mood in the last few days.

Does that mean you don't have a problem anymore?

"Well, let's find a place"

"Yes, but it's hard to find a place with no trace of Gulbal."

"If they walked around this far, I guess they would. What kind of place are you looking for?

"Nya-yay."

"Hmm? What's up?

Mr. Druid gently strokes Ciel's head.

Right, today's setup for the trap was a promise to Ciel.

Maybe we should find a place that Ciel can protect.

"Um, Ciel protects the trap, so give me a place that's cozy for Ciel"

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

When I tell you how I've been, Mr. Druid is staring at Ciel with a very impressive look.

"I thought you were smart, but not so much"

"Nya-yay."

A proud ringing ciel.

Sora also has her chest strained over her head for some reason.

...... Mr. Druid looks manuke......

"Ivy, shall we stop that raw and warm gaze? 'Cause I'm a little frustrated imagining myself, too."

You don't know that Sora has her chest stretched over her head, but slime on her head.

You don't want people to see much of this, even if it's just this.

A child would, well, be forgiven.

A man's head in his 40s or so......

"Ivy, your shoulders are shaking, but what did you imagine?

"No, let's find a place!

Travel through the woods as Ciel searches for an easy place to wait.

After a while I found a large tree with thick branches spread to the left and right.

"What about this? There are traces of Gulbal, but there are also traces of small animals."

"Fine. The Grubbal trail looks like you should give up now."

Sure, there are traces all over the place that it's hard to find fewer places.

Speaking of which, I feel there are more traces around here than yesterday.

"Holy shit!

Ciel rings mightily.

"Whoa! Ciel, you're motivated."

I've certainly been quite motivated since I promised to set a trap.

Hopefully I'm not trying too hard to get hurt or anything.

"Ciel, if they come in a group, they run away, right?

"to…"

They rang me with a voice that looked so dissatisfied.

"It's okay, Ivy. Because Adandala can't beat Gulbal or anything."

I guess it's okay because Mr. Druid, who knows a lot more about a lot of things than I do, tells me.

But I'm worried because I'm an important companion.

Ask Ciel to confirm when you set a trap.

5 locations in total.

Ciel seems kind of happy.

"Shall we take a break?"

"Yes."

A little behind the woods, but there's a lake.

Walk ahead of Ciel to that place.

"Speaking of which, what about the other one?

"Another one? You mean Flem?

"Yes."

"It's still weak, so it's in the bag"

"Weak? Oh, yeah! I thought you said collapsed slime."

"Yes."

"Looking at Sola, I forgot because I can't imagine the 'collapsed part' at all"

Seeing Sola in Mr. Druid's words.

Sure, you got a solid body, didn't you?

Now even if I bump into you, I'm fine.

"Whoa, there."

At the end of the line of sight is a lake that reflects the sun's light............ and a large group of Grubals.

Hide yourself in a nearby tree immediately.

Ciel tried to rush out for some reason, but managed to stop it.

"You didn't notice."

"Yes."

Softly confirm the large group of Grubbal from the shadow of the tree.

Is that it?

"It's crazy."

"Weird?"

"Yes, the signs of Gulbal are very faint."

In the woods, constant attention is paid to the signs.

That's because it's important to avoid danger.

It is possible that the accuracy had dropped slightly due to the reassurance of having a companion indeed.

But there's no way you won't notice a sign until you come beside me like this.

I wonder and look at Gulbal.

Apparently, the cause lies with Grubbal.

"Sorry, I can't read the signs. How thin?

"I'm right in front of you, but I can't grasp how many there are"

"Really?

"This is the first time I've seen a living Grubal, is it a demon with faint signs?

"I've never heard of you."

The two of us tilt our necks.

Does this also have anything to do with Gulbal's anomaly?

"No!"

Lurk yourself in the shadow of a tree. Probably for a few minutes.

Suddenly the chirping of Ciel echoes around the lake.

"" Eh!

I rush out of the shadow of a tree and see who heard me.

"Ah!"

"Ooh, wow!

What got into my sight was the way Ciel was attacked by Grubbal.

By the time I thought about it, Ciel was flying to the next gurval.

And then a few seconds later, I jump on a different guru again.

"I knew you were strong."

Mr Druid is impressed, but I am not at all.

I was stunned by the way Ciel looked the first time I saw him.

I've heard many times that Adandala is strong, but I can't believe this much.

I don't know the exact number, but there were probably more than 30 Grubals.

He appeared to run away a few heads, but was mostly knocked down by Ciel in minutes.

Ciel is quite satisfied.

"I knew it was amazing. Overwhelming strength."

"Right.... Mr Druid, will Mr Gilmouth cooperate again?

Surely Ciel was strong.

However, there were too many Grubals defeated.

Even if Mr. Druid and I worked together, it would be one head.

View Ciel's neighborhood.

More than 20 Grubbals have been defeated.

"Ah, I forgot. What am I gonna do?

"Yes. What shall we do?"
