430 414 words, Sharmi?

Some time after Mr. Nargas left the gate, the gatekeepers returned to their respective jobs.

I can still see the back, so I'll just drop it off.

After a while, I could see the trees in the woods squeaking.

I feel something moving around, but I still don't feel any signs.

It was written from the master that he was unclear about demons that did not make him feel any signs.

However, I was hoping you would ask someone I know.

"You seem to have quite a few."

"You know what I mean?

"Not a sign, but somehow. Maybe it's easier to feel than before."

Better than before?

Is that because there's so many of them?

A demon who doesn't feel signs.

What does it look like?

You're moving fast, and you don't have any witnesses yet, do you?

No, even if adventurers and vigilantes witness it, they may not report it if they feel no fear.

With that said, I don't think I heard any rumors about the woods.

What was it?

Uh, I certainly don't see any animals showing up in the spring this year, I guess.

Well, if all this demons were overflowing, the animal wouldn't even show up, would it?

I wonder what kind of animal it was.

"You made a move."

Listen to your father and concentrate in the woods.

Signs of Ciel moved and felt the swing of magic.

But I can't feel the demon that Ciel would be chasing.

"I know something's going on with the trees, but I still can't read the signs."

I can tell it's moving around pretty hard from the movement of the trees.

And yet I can't believe I can't grasp any signs...

I have been attacked several times before by demons who cannot detect signs or shakes of magic without approaching me.

But that raid made it extraordinarily better to grasp my signs, and in the last raid I was able to grasp slight signs of an approaching demon.

And yet, I can't grab anything right now.

Even if you try to hide it, if you move around, signs and magic will cause you to shake.

It's like a sign of the forest is hiding a demon.

"Father, do signs of the woods ever hide demons? You think you have signs similar to the signs in the woods?"

"The demon? Never heard of it. It would be a small or medium-sized animal if we said it was close to the signs of the forest"

Are you an animal?

You've evolved to survive in a forest with demons, so you can have signs of assimilation with the forest.

"Nah."

The sound of Ciel gives me a beating heart.

"Nah!"

Ciel's voice echoes through the woods again.

I can't feel the rush there.

Either that or...

"Aren't you having fun?

"Yeah. That sounded like it. (chuckles) But was it bubbling?

"Well, I've been spending a lot of time in slime, because the Solas were praised but Ciel didn't turn up"

Your turn?

"I hope you're willing and don't overdo it"

... Me, what did I say and send you out?

You didn't say anything to stir it up, did you?

I don't know what to do, it's not what I was worried about earlier.

"He's a kid who can add and subtract, so he'll be fine......... maybe"

"Not convincing, Father."

"Tell me, because it's gone"

I guess so, too.

The woods are wobbly.

Somehow, like a storm is coming.

And I saw something escaping.

I'm sure that's the demon in question.

Watching you escape, I feel pity...

"Nah, nah."

"Mr. Nargas, are you okay?

Aren't you surprised at Ciel's momentum?

"Oh, I wish Ciel had grabbed one demon."

That's right.

That way, I could have figured out who the demon was.

But no way, because I didn't think I'd be in a one-sided state so far.

Sometimes I see Ciel's figure jump up on a tree, but his tail is shaking with pleasure.

"What's wrong with you? What's your voice now?

Several gatekeepers see the woods from next to me.

Now the woods are hiding what Ciel looks like.

"Come on, it looks like we have a superior demon."

To your father's words, the gatekeepers with a slightly surprised expression.

But that also becomes a conversation about wanting to see what kind of demon it is in the next moment.

"You don't seem to have a problem. Bye."

Looking at the woods for a while, the gatekeepers go back when they know the top demons don't show up.

Sadness and remorse boil over its appearance.

The place I am is a little high with a view of the forest.

The walls of that building are stunned with finely written paper such as the type and strength measures of the demons in this forest.

The handwriting wasn't alone, but a lot of things, so I guess it was something we all made up.

That's the thing now, I barely do my job.

I do do do minimal work as a gatekeeper, but it just looks like I'm standing in front of the gate.

That's sad.

"Right."

View the woods.

It's getting a little quiet.

It's been less than an hour since Mr. Nargas and the others went to the woods.

"That's fast."

"Yeah. I knew Ciel was strong."

I've heard you talk, but I've seen you fight before, but you have a strong cute impression when you look at Ciel in your daily life, and you fade a strong impression.

"He's back. Are you hurt?"

Seeing Mr. Nargas coming out of the woods, he takes a breath.

Mr. Nargas and Mr. Pial's clothes are turning bright red.

"Looks like the potion worked."

"Yeah. Good."

It's turning bright red, but there's nothing to be anxious about for the two of us to walk toward.

I'm relieved by that, but I still get anxiety about the red-dyed clothes.

"Ooh!

Mr. Early found us, he waves.

And I made a big circle with my arms.

I'm relieved that the operation seems to have succeeded.

Well, I thought if you watched all that rambling ciel, you'd succeed.

We will move to welcome Mr. Nargas into the village from the gate.

When the gate opened, Mr. Nargas and the others showed themselves.

The gatekeepers are surprised by the rather bright red stained clothes.

"It's okay."

Mr. Nargas answered the gatekeepers with a slightly stiff voice and quickly moved the scene.

Is something wrong?

"I just need to hurry up and share some information. Let's move the place."

Thank the gatekeepers for Mr. Early's words and follow Mr. Nargas.

"Where are we going?

"I'm going to our house. Jaggi, tell the captain."

"Okay. Later."

At Mr. Nargas's direction, Mr. Jaggi turns the road and runs away.

There's some kind of unpleasant air going on.

"Go ahead."

When I arrived at Mr. Nargas' house, I left when Mr. Nargas and Mr. Pial washed away the blood.

I received the bag from Mr. Early, and when I opened inside, Ciel popped up.

I'm glad you look good.

"Good day. Are you hurt?

"Nya-yay."

"No, you don't have to worry about that at all. Because it was amazing. Because it was really amazing."

I call him Awesome as Mr. Early makes his face pull a little.

I wonder what I did.

I feel better not to ask.

"I'm glad I could help you."

"Oh, that was so helpful. Because thanks to Ciel, I found out who the stuff was in the woods."

"Really? That's Ciel."

"Nyah!

Your father strokes Ciel in the delightful voice of Ciel.

"I get it..."

When Mr. Early clogs his words, he puts something a little bigger out of his magic bag than one small one.

On my desk. That makes me uncomfortable for a demon.

"Don't you feel the magic?

"Yeah, because it's not a demon. It's an animal that says shami that lives around this village. I'm just a little changed..."

"What? Animals?

No way. Animals?

Besides, shami is definitely a rumored animal, isn't it?

He said he wouldn't see him first in the spring...

No way animal......
