647 Episode 600: The Original Forest

Aren't you a little late?

Well, let's see how it goes.

About five minutes after we left the cave.

Uru-san and Ciel couldn't get out of the cave.

I heard a rattling sound coming from the back of the cave, so I think we're still working on it, but it's too late.

Shell, hurry up!

When I came to the cave with my father, I heard Mr. Uru's voice.

Rattling, Dawn.

Huh?

Somehow I just heard a terrific sound...

Looking at your father, he looks into the cave with a strange look on his face.

In the same way, when I looked into the cave, I saw Sheil and Ms. Ur running behind her from the back.

When I waved my hand, Mr. Url gave a rushed look for some reason.

"Get away from me!"

I ran away from the cave in a hurry, in response to Uru-san's impatience.

When Uru-san and Sheil came out of the cave, they ran to our side.

"What's going on?"

"Ahh, I'm exhilarated... hahaha"

Uru-san scratched his head and turned his gaze away from his father.

Shell was looking over her shoulder.

I mean, did you enjoy breaking it?

"... well, I wonder if that's what's going to happen?" Come on, Shell. "

Nah!

In response to your father's sighing, Mr. Url replied with a slightly serious expression.

Shell, who was also swayed by the conversation, had a refreshing expression on her face, but her tail was wobbling fluffily.

We seem to have had a lot of fun destroying them.

Dodoons.

When the loudest noise ever occurred, dirt bumps rose from the cave.

……

When I looked at Uru-san, he said, "Oh no."

It seemed like I was a little overdone.

It's subtle when you're told that a runaway monster will do this.

When his father smiled bitterly, Mr. Url also nodded with a bitter smile.

Well, it's too late.

If you break something, you'll never come back.

"Let's move. I think the sound of it might have echoed through the village."

When your father holds a magic bag containing documents, he points to the forest.

“Which way do you want to go?”

"That's right. Huh? It looks like there are three of them a bit further away, but these are the ones that were in front of the cave?”

Mr. Ur nods as he looks at me.

Are they coming for us?

It's okay. When I left the cave, I was a little closer, so I was alert, but I moved away slowly.

I was vigilant that I was coming back to the cave, but the three of them were slowly moving away.

Probably wondered if I was going back to the cave or not.

Is it because of the sound now? It is going away with great momentum.

"Alright. The direction they're heading is... the village."You're not going back to the village, are you?I definitely think it's better to run like this..... "

Uru-san looked at the direction of the three people with a pathetic look on his face.

You want me to run?

I see, not a single monster has returned from the runaway, and the cave was a mess.

Moreover, the older man who would be in charge would have escaped.

When we get back to the village in this situation... yeah, I think we should definitely run.

Why did you want to go back to the village?

Well, it's none of our business.

Huh.

Uru-san's expression changed rapidly.

You'll be surprised how quickly you can switch.

"What? Ivy, what's wrong?"

Looking at Mr. Uru in a daze, he looked at him with a strange expression.

He shook his head to the side.

No, it's nothing.

Is that so?

I nodded and turned my gaze to my father, wondering if he was convinced.

"Let's take a completely different route back to the village."If they think we're coming from the same direction, it's embarrassing. "

"That's right. Worst of all, one of them."It's possible that someone knows the cave. "

Father nodded to Mr. Uru's words.

Sure enough, it would be troublesome if they thought they were related to the cave.

The cave will be fabulously broken.

Speaking of which, there was someone watching us head for the dump.

"You're an adventurer at the gate, aren't you?"Sure enough, you felt my gaze. "

Gaze?

Oh, you mean the man who looked anxious.

Rather than checking where you're going, do you go to the forest at a time like this?I almost laughed a little because it felt like that.

Let's go around the dump and go home so that you don't wonder.

"That would be good."If you suspect that a little time has passed, you should be honest about the attack on Rabinella.There will be traces left.Does the gatekeeper know Ull? "

Mr. Uru shakes his head at your father's words.

I'm not here right now.

I see.

"Oh, Dad, if you're headed to the dump, you can take your hidden baggage home."

When Rabinella chased me, I hid it near the dump.

If you go around the dump, you can collect it.

"There are too many things, and you completely forgot about their existence."

When your father shrugged his shoulders, Uru-san also smiled bitterly.

A lot has really gone on in this short time.

Shell, can you head to the dump?

"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Thank you."

Shell leads the way and walks out to the dump.

The signs of animals and monsters were all around us, so there were no monsters that ran away.

What's that?

I felt like there were more signs of animals and monsters than before.

Is it your imagination?

Strangely, looking around, something passed by on the tree.

A small monster?

I've never seen her before.

What's the matter?

My father slaps me on the shoulder.

Ah...

Looking around, he thought about it.

"Well, I feel like there are more signs of animals and monsters than before."Besides, I was running around on the tree.... "

Strangely, he explores the signs of his neighborhood again.

... I knew it wasn't my imagination.

For some reason, more animals and monsters are active in the forest.

Besides, the animals and monsters around this village had a normal impression, but they didn't.

I could tell from the signs that he was running around the woods endlessly.

I wonder what happened.

I thought you might be running away because you were running around, but it looks different.

Maybe the runaway monster has disappeared?

My father and I stop at the words of Uru-san.

"Are the runaway monsters gone?"Are you saying you moved? "

Father runs his gaze into the forest.

"... it looks like there's no monster running around here."The way this forest feels... isn't it the way it should be? "

Dad can't sense the signs, and he judges by looking at the wind and the swaying of the trees caused by animals and monsters, but he even knows the state of the forest, so it's amazing.

You mean, the original forest?

In other words, it was a forest where there were no monsters.

Oh, I see. These animals and monsters are back.

Uru-san laughs happily.

Indeed, the feeling of this forest was that animals and small monsters were running around the forest, and there were a few large animals and monsters all over the forest, and there was no sign of anything but a ferocious monster.

You're right, your father was right about the woods.

What's that?

You're back in the woods... the monsters that ran away are gone, right?

Have you moved?

When I look at your father, he has a thoughtful expression on his face.

Then he shook his head to the side.

If you just move, I don't think the small animals will come out alert yet.

Father turns his gaze overhead.

Looking up in the same way, I saw a small animal about the size of a palm running through the leaves.

Maybe you should think that she's gone.

Mr. Url nods to his father's words.

Looks like Ull-san thought he was gone too.

If they had told me, all the runaway monsters would have been defeated.

I'm glad.

Now the villagers are at ease.
