"You're home.... Something's wrong."

I could see the fathers who were going to check the cave coming this way.

I'm relieved by the way it looks, but as Mr. Jaggi said, something's wrong with everyone somewhere.

Keep your anxiety down a lot and wait for you to come back.

"Welcome home."

Speak up to the returning fathers.

"I'm home. Shall we take a break?"

"Oh, yeah."

Mr. Nargas nods at your father's words.

Is that it? The words...... When I looked closely, I could see Mr. Nargas's face was tense.

Mr. Jaggi urges Mr. Nargas to sit down.

"Sorry."

"Are you all right? You look pale."

Mr. Jaggi looks worried about Mr. Nargas and the others.

Mr. Early replies, "It's okay," but there's no tension as usual.

Everyone sits down and serves cups and warm tea for the number of people out of the magic bag.

This is what Mr. Gilmouth asked me to make in the morning by renting a cooking area.

"Tea, please"

I hope this calms you down a little.

"Ivy, thank you"

Mr. Pial lifts up a little cup of tea and thanks me.

When I smiled back at it, Mr. Pial gave me a relief look.

"Don't be relieved."

"Ah."

The look on Mr. Nargas' and Mr. Early's faces calms them down a little.

I saw that and was a little relieved.

"Thanks"

Sitting next to your father, he thanked me.

I shake my head to the side to answer that.

It's natural to cooperate in what you can do.

"Can I ask you something?

Mr. Jaggi sees Mr. Nargas and the others.

"Behind the garbage, you're at the bottom of the cave. I didn't know exactly there, but there were more than 10 bodies."

Body.

"One of them was wearing a ring he'd seen before.... I think he's the deputy commander"

With a harsh look, Mr. Nargas talks about the cave.

The deputy captain was definitely the one who was missing, wasn't he?

You were dead......

"And there was one in priestly clothing. Probably from the church."

Church.

Old memories blur my head.

I'm already sorted out about my father and mother, but that guy's gaze was directed at me when my skills turned out in church.

Even though I can't remember my face or anything anymore, for some reason I can still remember only my gaze clearly.

When I got that gaze, my whole body trembled with fear.

Now that I think about it, how could I have been hit with so much hate......

"Ivy? Are you okay?

"What... it's okay"

"Really? You've got a dark look on your face."

It reminded me of a memory that scared me back in the day, and my expression was darkening.

Take one deep breath to calm down.

It's okay, it's not what it used to be now.

"Remember a little while back. But it's okay."

Here is a father who will stay with you even if you know everything.

There's Ciel, and he's sleeping in his bag, but there's all the Solas.

"Do you know who that priest is?

"No, I haven't heard from the church that there's a missing person"

Mr. Jaggi and Mr. Pial tilt their necks.

"That's crazy. You're not in surgery, are you?

Mr. Nargas also gave a strange look, but tilts his neck without knowing what was wrong.

"I know I haven't heard from you if you're in surgery, but the church people aren't in surgery. Normally, you'd call the vigilante to find your buddy when he goes missing, wouldn't you?

Oh, yeah.

Anyone else in surgery besides adventurers and vigilantes hadn't found them yet, had they?

Sure, it's strange not to contact you even though you weren't in surgery.

But are all the church people close?

"Are all the people who work in church close to each other?

"What do you mean?

Father tilting his neck at my question.

"No, I left him even when he was gone because he was a bad friend, or he thought something was wrong and he escaped..."

Say people from the church. Humans.

Sometimes I think I run away with problems.

"I don't think so. The church guys are unusually companion. Creepy."

I'm surprised at what your father said and stare at that face.

You noticed that gaze, your shoulder-clapping father.

"Well, there's a lot going on."

Did something happen with the church?

With that said, a lot of adventurers distance themselves a little from church people.

Villages and townspeople immediately rely on churches.

How could it be what?

"What do you think of Mr. Druid?

To Mr. Nargas's voice, your father and I turn our gaze to him.

"Bad. I wasn't listening. What?"

Because you were talking to me, weren't you?

I've done something wrong.

"I thought we should do a little more research on those found in the cave."

"Right. Why don't you go back to the village and find out who's missing? For now, we'll have to identify ourselves."

To your father's answer, Mr. Nargas and the others nod.

"Okay. Shall we go back to the village?"

Did Mr Nargas's reply signal or not, I will start cleaning up later.

"I washed the cup."

Mr. Pial keeps a beautifully washed cup in front of me.

"Thank you"

I turn the cup into a magic bag and get up from where I was sitting.

As Ciel moves, I feel her skin become more alert to the shami that was watching this one on a nearby tree.

"Sounds like you're scared of Ciel. She's cute."

"Nya-yay."

Ciel rings "grunt" when he strokes his throat.

When she's really cute, she spills a sticky grin.

Back in the village, all the faces of the gatekeeper had changed.

It's impossible to think about it normally, so I creep through the gate in surprise.

"Good luck. Is something wrong?

When Mr. Nargas asked the current gatekeeper about the situation, the asked gatekeepers gave him a slightly confused look.

"What?

"That was about an hour ago, when one of the gatekeepers suddenly burst out."

Ravaged?

Is it possible that the limits of the art have come?

Is that it?

If you can do it, you're gonna be like an abandoned man when the limits come, right?

Weren't you the one who lost your ego and went wild?

"So?"

Your father approaches the gatekeeper.

To that atmosphere, Mr. Stingray Gatekeeper.

"I managed to contain it successfully and was isolated at Gilmouth's behest. And then the people I worked with fell down, and they're being transported to the infirmary."

"Okay. Thanks."

The gatekeepers, who were a little trembling at the atmosphere of your father and Mr. Nargas, gave him a look of relief the moment he was thanked.

"Shall we?"

Mr. Early moves to chase after him as he walks out.

Where are you headed?

It doesn't seem to be where you are with the captain, the road is different.

"Where are you going?

To your father's words, Mr. Early gave a stiff look.

"Excuse me," he apologized small when he looked a little bumpy.

I tilt my neck without knowing what it means.

"I don't want Ivy anywhere near the crazy."

"Yes. Uh..."

Was Early trying to get to the gatekeepers?

"You can go if you care. I'll take care of the report to the Captain."

"Excuse me, Mr. Druid. Early and Jaggi to the gatekeepers. We'll keep you posted."

Mr. Nargas gives instructions to Mr. Early and Mr. Jaggi.

The two nodded, lowering their heads small to your father and heading to a place where the gatekeepers would be early enough.

"Early and Jaggi were helped as children by one of the gatekeepers. I think that's why you're worried."

Mr. Commander, Mr. Nargas will tell us what's going on as we head over to the house.

Were you in a hurry with that?

"Right. I hope it helps."

"... right"
