"Captain Ogt! Where have you been! I looked for him."
Block your ears to the screaming voices of your men.
You're as good as ever.
Looking softly, I was stared at.
Oh, I'm serious about this.
Was I getting that much work?
... With that said, I haven't been in the captain's office in the last week or so...
"Long time no see"
... This sucks.
"Right. Ah, let's get to work. Velivella."
My eyes are fixed.
No, I didn't expect it to take a week.
"Huh. So, did you grab their tail?
Ha, that's just great.
Did you notice that I didn't say anything?
"I could confirm the stash of evidence. Now that we know someone a little unexpected is involved, we'll ask for an investigation later. And gather about 20 people. Because I'm seizing evidence."
"Okay. Please finish the paperwork properly as I will have everything ready. Right now!
"I'm scared."
"Phew."
Well, I left it for a week, and I can't help it.
"Ah, Captain Ogt, it's arrived."
Fluffy?
Another favor?
That's a pain in the ass.
"Thanks"
One of my men brought it to me. I'll pick it up and check my name.
"Ivy?"
"What? Is that her?
To Verivella's surprised voice, snort.
"Apparently, it's a letter that keeps me posted."
Girl dressed as a boy.
Careful around me, I was always scared.
I approached him to see if I could help him at all, and he had a pretty cute personality and was surprised.
I did everything I could then, but I was worried I was alive.
Because forests are not a world where children can stand alone.
"Work...... well, even after a break"
I can hear the rare words of Velivera.
I'm going to laugh at that, but bear it, and hurry to the captain's office.
Sitting on the couch, Verivera sits in front.
"Uh, 'Captain Ogt, Deputy Verivera, it's been a while. Do you remember? For a little while. I'm Ivy, who took care of you. I thought it might be annoying, but I wanted to let you know how well I'm doing and I'll send it." "
"As always, she's polite."
Verivella laughs happily.
That's what I cared about her.
"'I am now in the village of Hatau. I could have someone to travel with'. Now you can spend time with other people."
It was easy to tell Ivy then that one child's journey alone was dangerous.
But I didn't know if it was okay to tell her that I was afraid of others and rejecting them.
No matter how you look at it, you won't be able to spend time with others in a mental state.
If I can't improve on what I told you, I decided I shouldn't tell you.
It can only stir up anxiety.
I've just always been anxious to see if that was the right thing to do.
"She seemed to be able to tour with the good guys by the time we got to Hathau Village."
Nod to Verivella's words Read more.
"Ah. Uh, my buddy says, 'I'm the one who says Mr. Druid in All Towns'...... hmm? All Town or Druid?
"... is that the hidden ball of the guild? You're kidding, right? That cold, outrageous and famous?
Huh. Look at that.
"Uh, 'Mr. Druid is so sweet, he always helps'. Someone else?"
It's a long way from the Druid I know.
Do you think the all-town druids I know will shudder around with a look that doesn't change one complexion when making ruthless decisions and doesn't even bring any emotions to bear when doing it?
Talks like this can get bigger, but I see him doing his job with these eyes.
I did find my eyes horrible with no emotions floating around.
"It would be someone else."
To Verivella's words, I snort that it is.
but somehow I can imagine him lining up next to Ivy, the hidden ball of the guild.
"Well, people change, and if Ivy is good for you or someone else, you won't have a problem"
Even so, I am anxious.
Let's just get confirmation later.
"Uh, 'I'm a Tamer with skills, but I couldn't tell you that then. Sorry." "
"It was Tamer, wasn't it? Does it say why you hid it?
Read more about Velivera's strange look.
"'I couldn't tell you why I didn't talk because I couldn't stay in the village because of my skills'. Can't you stay in the village anymore? Tamer's a treasured skill, isn't he? What's this all about?
Tilt your neck with Verivera.
"'My tasted slime is adorable and the thing I'm good at is breaking shape. I met him when he was in a broken state stretching out with a sideburn. It was completely broken. It really collapses beautifully'. It's one star to be able to taste the slime."
Can't you stay with one of Tamer's stars?
"... the slime that was crumbling?
Something blurs behind Verivella's brain.
Slime that was crumbling?
"Oh, you mean the collapse slime? The weakest."
"But that's such a weak demon that even one star can't be taemed. You won't be able to."
"You're right."
Huh. Read it over.
Hmm?
Why are you repeating "collapsed" so many times?
It's like you're saying it's important.
If you want to tell me this... how can a collapsed slime not be taimed?
Even one star dies when the demon is too weak to give him magic.
If so,
"If you're weaker than one star, you can even taste the collapse slime, right?
"Weaker than one star? No way Ivy has no stars?
"So you're going to tell me dull and cloudy?
Verivella gave a complex look.
No stars?
If this idea is on your mind, there is no way you're staying in Ratomi village.
That village is a closed one, and the church's teaching remains colorful.
Because the Church makes no star a "being abandoned by God".
"Maybe he was about to get killed. It seems possible in that village."
"Right. What's next?"
"Wait, I kind of have a bad feeling"
Press the Magic Item button on the table.
Now the voices in this room will not leak outside.
"Read on, 'Deputy Verivera advised me to get involved with the criminal organization I was telling you about on the journey, or I got a little targeted'... Huh?
"Ivy."
Verivella does the trick of pushing her forehead.
"'Because of that, I got to know and get along with the members of the Flaming Sword and Thunder King. Don't worry, they helped me and I got over that problem safely too'. Wasn't this member a credit for crushing that criminal organization?
"Right. With that said, I didn't confirm it because I wasn't interested, but it's like the captain said there was a child among the meritorious..."
"Oh, sure they asked for your name then Ivy's..."
"I'll check the name of the meritorious man later"
"Please. You go on. 'I forgot. Before I met the Ratlures, I had company. He's a very strong and cool fellow. Mr. Druid says he's the third strongest and coolest, and he's the third, and I'm satisfied with the third because I want him to be the first, but I don't want him to be a fool. This fellow is like a dream'. Hmm?"
"Looks like there's something you can't honestly write about again. I've never done anything like this before."
Verivella laughs funny.
That makes me laugh, too.
"Now what? Friends? Not like Tame? And third?
"Are you one of us because we're not taming but we're together? What do you mean, people? No, you don't have that. Then you'll write people. I'm also curious about this third one."
Nodding at Verivella's words.
Number three, with that said, going for number one makes you a fool?
"Strong and cool...... third. Strength third? No, no, what?
"Fools mean 'what you put your hands on is fools'? So third...... Adandala?
Verivella gives a surprised look and shakes her neck to the side.
"That's impossible."
"Yes, though. It says, 'This fellow is like a dream,' and Adandala collapses into a slime without stars?
"I don't know, uh, didn't you read too much?
"Right. It's possible."
You got it?
Without a doubt, it's written in hiding a lot, and what I want you to care about is somewhat accentuated.
"I don't think you'll ever know what it means to be read like this, but you have to be careful."
Verivella thinks it means something, too.
"But can you decipher it when it's hidden any more?
"... well, there's never going to be so much to hide... isn't there?
"Don't ask me. Heh. Well, 'Oh, I forgot again, even though I have to write first. Actually, I'm a woman. I was fooling around when I heard that boys were safer to travel. I'm sorry. Uh, I've also grown a little tall lately, and I'm glad'"
I don't care because I wasn't fooled.
