382 367 words uncomfortable?

In a couple of days you will reach the village of Hataka.

I'm planning on doing that, but I feel a little different about your father than usual.

Besides, Ciel is kind of softened up, too.

"What's going on? Things have been a little weird since yesterday, haven't they?

"Hmm? Bad. I thought something was wrong with the woods."

How are things in the woods?

Look around.

It's spring and the new greens are out, and the creatures are moving like the forest has come back to life all at once.

I don't understand what your father calls "weird".

"I don't feel anything in particular."

In an effort to read the signs extensively, concentrating still doesn't catch anything.

Certainly there are signs of demons in the distance and of small animals nearby.

But there's no sign of discomfort.

"Did I make you nervous? Sorry."

"That's okay. What's wrong with you? Looks like Ciel's feeling something too."

"Nya-yay."

Your father's gaze turns to Ciel.

Ciel has also been much more restless than usual since about this morning.

"I wonder what to say. It looks the same as always... I feel something."

Hmm?

Feel that?

"Does Ciel know what caused this?

Don't you understand the silence?

"Feeling similar to your father?

"Nya-yay."

Maybe it's because you know your father, who has been an adventurer for a long time, and Ciel, who knows all about the woods.

"Is it okay to go to Hataka Village like this?

"The only rumor that reached Hathahi Village was that Gilmouth and the captain were not close. There shouldn't be a problem."

Is the next village bad among Mr. Gilmouth and the captain of the regiment?

Until now, it was kind of fresh because it was just a relatively friendly village and town.

You can't say the top two aren't close!

"That village, are you okay?

"Ahhh. Well, I guess it's okay. Let's go and see what's going on in the village before we decide if we want to stay."

"Okay."

Then head to the village of Hataka with as little sleep as possible.

I also took turns with my father when I went to bed.

"Are you all right? They've only slept about two hours in the last three days, right?

"I'm fine, because I've been walking for five days without sleeping"

At that time, it's suspicious that my memory was vague and really day 5.

Probably should have collapsed on day 5.

No, was that day six?

"Five days? You can't do that. It's too much on Ivy's body."

"I won't because I have both your father and Ciel now, because I'm talking about when I was traveling alone"

"Then there's no choice? Oh, you see the gate."

When I followed your father's gaze, I saw a gate made of wood.

The gates of Hathahi village were flashy, so they look so simple.

This one's normal.

"Hmm?"

Your father stops inadvertently as you walk.

And I walked back and looked back and stared at the woods.

I look back together, too, but I don't feel anything.

No sign of demons either.

What is it really?

"Is that it?"

Did you notice something was wrong? I feel a shake from the bag.

"It's gonna be okay."

"I knew you wouldn't understand."

Father with one sigh and gently hands on my back.

"Let's go. Kind of a nasty feeling."

Head to the gates of the village of Hataka a little early.

When Mr. Gatekeeper sees us, he smiles.

"Hello, I'd like you to present your certificate"

Give out each of your guild cards and get permission to enter the village.

"This is the permit for this village. If you lose it, be aware that it will be purchased"

I receive a permit from the gatekeeper and thank him.

"Excuse me, have you had any anomalies lately?

A gatekeeper with a slightly strange look at your father's words.

Is there still something there?

"I don't know, but the top adventurers reported to Gilmouth that there was something strange about the forest."

I knew there was something going on.

When I look at your father, I think of something.

"Do you know what that anomaly is?

"No, I don't know. It is rumored that an investigation team will be formed tomorrow."

"Really? Thank you."

When your father thanked you, he entered the village of Hataka from the gate.

Then I enter the village, too.

Like other villages, the main street is right from the gate and shops line up on the left and right.

"Kind of keeps your eyes in check."

"Because I've seen a bustling village, I don't feel a bit lively about people"

Aim for the square while watching the shops and the people of the working villages.

I've decided it's time for the adventurers to settle down and plan on putting up a tent in the square.

Your father said he'd look at the square and make a final decision, but he'll probably be fine.

"Right there."

The square I saw isn't that big, but it's well maintained.

There's a cooking area, and the water seems to be free to use.

"The adventurers are calm, too."

Stop at the entrance to the square. Your father is looking over the whole thing.

"Hello, are you planning to stay in the square?

When I turn my gaze to the woman's voice, a woman in the same uniform as Mr. Gatekeeper stands.

"Hello, how are things in the square?

"I've settled down a lot. Because the winter was tough, we set out to villages and towns where we could make more money than here as soon as it was spring. Fighting is as violent as drinking, but it can be dealt with quickly, so no harm has been done."

"Thank you. So can I use the square?

"Of course it is. Can you give me a permit? Because I'll add it there."

Add to permit?

Take out the permit you borrowed from the gatekeeper and give it to your sister.

Place the permit inside the box type magic item and press the button.

When the box opened in a few seconds, the permit had a black string on it.

"This black thread will be authorized for use in the square"

"This is the first item to see"

"Heh heh, I'm a little proud of this magic item because it's rare."

Is it unusual after all?

It's an item I've never seen before.

"Yes, yes, call me if you have any problems. My name is Puffy."

"Thank you. I'm Ivy, my daughter in the Druid."

"Mr. Puffy, for a short time, thank you."

"This is you, feel free to speak up. Bye."

Seeing the square away from Mr. Puffy.

I like the place where the tent is set up not so far from the cooking area.

"Where is it?

Ask your father when he finds a moderate place open.

"Mm-hmm, let's not. Let's go that way."

See the direction your father points.

A little further away from the cooking area than I said.

"Why over there?

"Next door is a tent for a group of women and their families."

Huh?

Tilt your neck to your father's words.

Because there are no shadows in the tents next to each other.

There are the tents and the desks and chairs that could have been in front of them, and the trinkets.

How do you know it's a group of women or a family tent?

"Why did you think it was a group of women or a family tent?

Ask your father if he wants to help set up a tent.

Your father points his finger all the way to the tent next door.

After that, there were dishes that were washed and dried.

"I have a spoon and fork for kids"

Indeed, there are two sets of dishes for children, etc.

I made sure the dishes were dry, but I didn't care what it was.

Plus, it's not much the same size as an adult.

I felt like I couldn't tell if I didn't come close.

Nodding, your father points again to the opposite tent this time.

Ahead...... basket?

If you look closely, a number of ribbons, hair fastenings, etc. are put together on the table.

"I didn't have one for men. Well, it's a prediction, so definitely not."

I see, the contents of the basket are certainly just things that women seem to like.

I can't find anything dedicated to men.

See where we were talking earlier.

Make it a dish from that place. Make it a trinket in the basket, you've made a good distinction.

"Your father has good eyesight."

"Normal, right?

Absolutely not.
