"Hello"

A vigilante who for some reason smiles and approaches and greets me.

Is there still something there?

"Hello, you're alone today"

I look around at Mr. Druid's words, but no one.

Funny, the vigilante should have decided to act at least two people for when something happened.

Explore the signs of being hidden, but no one really is.

"Uh, I'm already done with work today. I saw you leave the gate when you were watching around the village. I tried to wait until I got back to the village, but I couldn't contain my feelings, so I went after the magic and I got here."

Chase me?

"Why did you take us?

There is a little tension in Mr. Druid's voice.

You noticed that, the vigilante puts his hand forward and waves left and right.

"It's not. I'm not thinking it's suspicious or anything, I just wanted to say thank you."

A vigilante looking at us with a slightly anxious look on his face.

"" Thank you?

It's only been three days since I came to this village.

Although I don't remember doing anything.

Could it be that Mr. Druid has helped you before?

I look at Mr. Druid next door, but he shook his head to the side.

"That I say Ashley. Uh, about my father, I'm an assistant to the Alliance Master of Adventurers Alliance. If you find me suspicious, check your identity with the Alliance. Because my father is sure to prove it."

"Mr. Ashley."

"Yes."

When Mr. Druid calls his name, his expression gets painfully bright.

I don't see anyone doing anything wrong.

"What is gratitude?

"Um, I just wanted to thank Mr. Druid and Mr. Ivy properly."

Me?

"Me too?

I stare at him in Mr. Ashley's words.

but I can't remember anything.

Could it be that you've forgotten about it under the influence of the magic team?

"Mr. Druid had help from a demon three years ago. I've never met Ivy, but I wanted to thank her for cooperating and crushing a criminal organization."

Mr. Druid told me about that criminal organization three years ago.

I didn't think you'd be thanking me for something else.

"Ah, three years ago?

Mr. Druid is looking at Mr. Ashley and thinking about it.

After a while, I shook my head to the side.

"Bad. I can't seem to remember."

Mr. Druid bows his head to Mr. Ashley.

"No, don't bow your head. I didn't mean to bother you. Three years ago, a big rock collapsed near this village, and there was a massive spill of demons from inside, remember?

Massive demons?

That's what's happening.

That's scary.

"Oh, you happened to be in this village, so you cooperated in the crusade."

"That's it! That's when you saved me from the rush. I have magic sensing skills, and I did something stupid on the diagram. Mr. Druid helped me when three demons attacked me and I thought I couldn't do it anymore."

That's cool, Mr. Druid.

"What, that time? No, eh? Are you sure that's the guy from that time? Kind of... different, huh?

"Ahhh, that was... because it was a time of all kinds of rampant. Would you say it's quite different now? The"

"Mr. Druid, what was Mr. Ashley like?

Ashley blushes her cheeks and gives her a pitiful look when I ask Mr. Druid.

Really, what was it like?

I'm very concerned.

"Ah, well, I guess it's one of the things I do when I'm younger. Yeah."

What do you do when you're young?

Uh... what is it?

"Well, I didn't know the kid was you then. What a surprise."

Mr. Druid's voice is going up a little happy.

"At that time, I was so flustered about the demons that I couldn't thank them properly. Uh, thank you so much. At that time, thanks to your help, I was able to build a family. Thank you so much."

Deeply bowing your head, Mr. Ashley.

Building a family... do you mean married?

"Thank you for taking the time to say thank you. Glad to hear it."

Mr. Ashley and Mr. Druid laugh and shake hands.

That's kind of a dusty sight, Bo. I stare at the two of them all the time.

"Mr. Ivy."

The gaze of Mr. Ashli, who unraveled his hand, turns to me.

"Yes."

I wonder what.

"Thank you for protecting my daughter from criminal organizations."

Mr. Ashley bows his head deeply towards me.

Criminal organizations are about that criminal organization, right?

Were you still doing bad here?

"Um, give me your head. I'm glad your daughter's okay."

"Yes, really"

Mr. Ashley nods with a smile.

I can see that I really care about your daughter.

"Um, protecting your daughter... what happened?

"The Alliance and the vigilante received a list of associates of criminal organizations in this village, and with their names on it. Soon after, Gilmouth and the head of the vigilante moved to catch those whose names were given. So, we found their Azito, so when we did the investigation, we came up with a plan to kidnap and sell off the children and grandchildren of important people in this village. And a list of children to kidnap."

Really, that organization is rotten everywhere.

"My daughter's name was on that list, and my spine shook up. Probably because my father is an assistant to Gilmouth. My daughter is still fine, thanks to Mr. Ivy and the others for crushing that organization. Thank you so much."

"I'm glad I was able to prevent it before. Yeah, really."

I was really scared then when I was about to be kidnapped.

I could have prevented it because Ciel was there, but what would have happened if he had been kidnapped.

I'm just scared to think.

"Ashley, can I ask you something?

"Yes. Ask me anything."

"It's good because you were seeing me, but where did you find out about Ivy? The Ivy thing must be top secret."

Is that it?

With that said, it should only be known to the top of the organization.

"I felt enormous magic near the village yesterday. It was so much magic I'd never felt before. But you don't have to feel scared even if you feel that magic. I went to see it with the guys whose duty was with me because I was wondering. Then I was surprised to have Mr. Druid there, but I felt a tremendous amount of magic from what Ivy had beside me."

Were you still feeling magic from the bag?

"So?"

"Stopping by didn't change my impression of magic, so I thought I'd see how it went a little bit"

"I see, did you go after him?

If so, the two of us would have missed it.

"No, I didn't expect to delude Mr. Druid, so I went back to the jail once to ask the captain for advice. When I went to see the captain of the regiment, Gilmouth was there, and I talked to Mr. Druid about the woman he took. Then they happened to be talking about Ivy, and they told me the same thing."

I see.

Is that why you knew me, including my name?

"Right. I don't really want you to say anything else."

Mr. Druid has a slightly harsh look on his face.

Well, it's definitely top secret.

"Um, there are circumstances to that. Your captain's daughter was kidnapped by a criminal organization, and we're not sure if she's safe."

"" Huh?

"So he really wants to thank Mr. Ivy for crushing the criminal organization"

"What about the captain's daughter?

"It's still unknown. The captain said he would already be dead."

The more I know, the more I'm sincerely glad I crushed that organization.

"So, I'd like to see Mr. Druid and Mr. Ivy once, but when I call them in, they'll be noticeable, so I'm supposed to tell them I might want to come in between. If it's me, I can figure out where you are by magic, and I'm grateful."

Did you take care not to be conspicuous?

You have to thank me for that.
