42 Lesson 41

A row through the woods in a carriage.

It was still dark in the woods, but the atmosphere of the journey was brightened by the addition of accompanying people.

They were riding next to your table.

"Speaking of which, are you glad you left those kidnappers out there?

"You hear that now...... well, you're okay. If the demons attacked me, it would mean that their luck was up until then, and if they survived a good thing, they wouldn't be willing to do anything wrong."

That's what Arezel replied, remembering what had happened by the time she woke up.

"Hey, I feel like you're looking bad... what the hell happened?

"... I think you should not ask. There are things the world doesn't need to know."

When she saw a grin on Aotearoa's mouth, Arezel shuddered and snorted.

"Well, what did Mr. Sota make with Master Karena?

Arezel shrugged the subject to force her to change the course of the conversation.

"It's a special effect of stone fever. I didn't have the equipment to make it, so I rented Karena's shop facilities. So I was asked to help me with the flow."

Allezel was surprised to hear of the special effects of stone fever with his hands on his mouth.

"What! That one needs a dragon liver, right? Could it be that Mr. Sota is quite rich?

With fewer and fewer people now familiar with the old recipe, it was no surprise that Arezel's question would get there.

"Uh, no, it's not like that, well, it's not like I don't have any money, but, well, there's a lot going on and we got it all together."

Aotearoa tried to delude herself of various things, which resulted in a suspicious answer.

"... it would be helpful if you didn't ask me about it"

Arezel laughed at Ethereum, who said softly with a troubled face.

"Ugh, you look like that too. I thought the first impression was more like this, because it felt calm."

"I'm human, too, sometimes I'm in trouble, sometimes I get angry, like right now. I usually try not to waver so much into my emotions."

"Nice, I'll be angry or crying right away. In the meantime, when I went alone to get the material, my master yelled at me and I cried."

"... maybe you were on your own collecting material when they kidnapped you, too, right?

Aotearoa saw about Arezel with her jitsu eyes.

"Giku! Hey... haha, you know what? It was okay during this time, so I was wondering if it was okay this time... Oh, my God."

Out of sight, there was a cold sweat on that forehead playing with my hands.

"I hope it helped. In the meantime, I hope the master squeezes me tight."

"Oh, no. Talk to your master. Please help Sota. Even in the meantime I was so angry that I knew I'd been kidnapped..."

Arezel was shaking her face blue as she embraced her body.

"You've got a good pill, I've got you worried, so be prepared enough to piss you off"

Pomp your hands on Arezel's head.

"Yes, right? I'm sure Master is worried... I have to apologize to Master. I want to see you soon."

Ethereum looked down and said nothing to Arezel wiping her wet eyes with tears, just kept stroking her head.

Then Aeta moves away when she sees that she stopped crying after a while.

Arezel raised her face to match the movement of his hand.

"Where Arezel has settled down, we need to figure out what to do with the problem in front of her."

"Yes, immigration screening,"

Allezel responded instantly to the wind he said it would sound if hit.

"No... it's how we get out of here. Haven't you noticed? We've been moving around the same place since before."

Deny Arezel's answer and point to one tree.

"Do you really go around the same place that you recognize something about that tree...?

Aotearoa nods.

"I also remembered because it was a distinctive shape, but that's not the case with trees the same shape as that one. There are other holes in the road and blooming flowers. I've been around for five weeks now, so I'm pretty sure."

"Even five circles!? Why did you leave me alone for so long!

"No, because you were crying. And the second time I thought I was crazy, and then I looked around to make sure of it."

I know it's my fault, and Arezel makes her cheeks red.

"That's... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but what the hell is it? This didn't happen when I came to this forest before..."

"Was it so dark when I came here before? It's the same darkness during the day as at night."

Arezel shakes her neck to the side.

"It was dark because there were so many trees, but that's just about it..."

When she hears a wolf-like squeal in the distance, Arezel trembles and clings to Ethereum.

"That, Mr. Sorta. What am I supposed to do, we got swallowed up in the woods!

"Something's wrong. I've been in the woods for a long time, but that's not clear..."

Aotearoa parks the carriage in front of the end point surrounding him.

"Why are you repeating this... do you want to do that?"

Reaching for the border activates spatial magic and erodes that border with his own magic.

Aotearoa seemed to have a thin membrane in front of her, and if it was to be red, she was working on repainting it with Aotearoa's blue.

This trap was a mechanism by which it was moved through a thin membrane at the end point in front of it into a space at the beginning that was magically connected by space.

Aotea unraveled how it works by combining her appraisal skills into spatial magic.

After a while of magic, all its membranes are repainted by the magic of Ethereum. And when Aotearoa erased the repainted magic, the connection between the spaces was also disconnected.

"This should be okay, but why the hell is there such a thing?

"Wow!! Mr. Sota, it's amazing! Can you do that, too?

It had been felt that the weight of the closed space earlier had been removed, thus releasing it to Arezel as well.

"It's surprising, wasn't the one who did this something clueless?

In fact, it was a trap that I could disarm because it was Ethereum, but I dress up as the wind that it wasn't a big deal.

"Really? It was amazing...... but I wonder if that's what it looked like because I'm magically worse?

Arezel puts his arms together, and yeah, I think about it.

"Hey, it's time to leave than that"

Aether hastened such an allezel from the throne.

"Oh, wait!

When Allezel confirms that he has boarded the carriage, he looks to Ed and leaves.

"Hmm?"

Aotea felt her gaze and looked back, but there was just darkness there.
