186 Lesson 185

Leaving the elder's house, a line joining Ed was leaving the settlement and walking in the woods.

"Where shall we go next?

Deena asks Ethereal Tai because she's moving on for now but she didn't decide where to go.

"Right...... let's just get back to Toula. I don't have much information on where the Dragons are, and I need to know where they are."

Aotearoa is leading the way, mowing the grass ahead.

"Alas, that means someone knows the current residence of the Dragons. Does that mean?

"It's possible, something like that. I'm not sure about that either, but I'm sure it won't hurt to ask."

Aotea replied to Deena as she made her way forward.

"I see... yes, you did say that Mr. Grevin was a frequent visitor to the Dragon Nation at the end, didn't you?

"You were saying. What's wrong with that?

That's why I'm about to go see the Dragon Nation. I thought so. Aeta wondered why I would ask such a question now.

"Atra was Mr. Grevin's contract beast demon, so I was wondering if he might be coming with me."

Deena sees Atra as she says so. Aotearoa also stopped her moving leg and sent her gaze to Atra.

"Sorry I couldn't live up to my expectations, but I've never been to the Dragon Nation's current place of residence"

Atra gave it back with a slightly sorry look.

"The Dragons moved their dwellings at the same time as the dwarves split into settlements everywhere. Until then, he was often accompanied by Gregor, but after the division, he was on his way to the place of the Dragon Nation by himself because he had been defending the settlement."

Atra remembered the situation at the time and explained why she didn't go with him.

"Were you... that's okay. Maybe, because I just thought,"

That's what Deena said. She gently stroked Atra's head.

"Even if we haven't been together, do we have any fragmentary information on where we've been or which side we were headed?

Aotearoa keeps asking Atra if she has any clues.

'Hmmm, it's hard to recall because the details are probably from a long time ago... but they probably went out without telling anyone anything about where they were going'

"Well...... in the meantime, do I have to look for the information I can get now"

Satisfied with Atra's answer, Aeta went back to mowing the grass in the lead again.

By the time I went out onto the street, I had turned to dawn and the sky was starting to whiten.

"Finally out... let's do something about the clothes"

By the way, there was grass, mud, etc., so Aotearoa cast a clean magic on everyone and took the dirt.

"That's good. Let's get back to Toula first... Ed, I'm sorry, please"

When Ethereum fits Ed with the carriage body removed from the sub-empty depot, Ethereum, Deena and Atra get in. Since the battle was also a trip in poor night vision, fatigue was seen in each of them, but there was a reason to avoid a break here.

This surrounding area was somewhat inappropriate for a break, to avoid being perceived as having something to do with being seen by other travellers and adventurers.

"Hiheen!"

Ed knew he was the least fatigued compared to the other three, so he shouted out loud so they wouldn't hesitate to signal his departure.

Afterwards, Aotearoa and Deena took turns serving as lords and proceeded to be rocked by the carriage. The way home took longer than going because Ed tried to shake less and reduce the burden of being inside.

Upon reaching the kingdom of the beast man, he soon falls asleep without picking up an inn and eating.

The next morning's wake was pleasant and each body fatigue had been removed.

"Morning."

"Good Morning"

Good morning.

Yesterday I arrived at the inn late so I could only get a twin room, and Aeta and Deena were staying in the same room. But there was no resistance to each other because we were also tired and we usually rested together in the sanctuary tent.

"What do we do today?

There were a lot of things that bothered me, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to slow down in this city because there wasn't going to be more information when I got back in a hurry at the moment.

"Right...... Shall we go to Mr. Sylvan's shop again this time"

"That's not bad, either, because I didn't stop by. You'll mess with Atra there, too."

Some stores refuse to enter, such as a beast demon or pet, but Aeta thought that the problem around them could be solved because the two of those stores are adventurers.

"The problem is the crowd..."

Deena was thinking about the previous store.

"Let's just go. You're not exactly queuing up at this hour."

Since it was only morning, it was thought that there would be no one lined up in the shop to open from lunch. There was no opposition from Deena and Atra either, so when she lifted her hips and opened the door, Aeta decided to head straight to the restaurant.

When I got to the front of the store, as expected, there were no customers and there were closing bills on the door.

"Can you get in?

When Aotearoa put her hand on the door, it was not locked, and the door opened with the sound of the entrance bell.

"Welcome -. I'm sorry, I still have time to open the store...... Sota, Deena, and WOMAN?

Atra was puppy-sized to be discreet.

"Long time no see, I stopped by because I needed help nearby, was this exactly the time I was in the way?

"No, if it's you two, you're welcome! Of course you can, Won-chan!

Zofi, the supplier and dessert manager, welcomed the three with a smile.

Sylvan, who notices that voice, also faces out of the kitchen.

"What are you fussing about? Oh, oh! How have you both been! Well done!!

Sylvan also smiled and came to the two of us.

"Hmm? That one over there, come on. Isn't he awesome for the little one?

Ethereum, Deena and Atra were astonished by Sylvan, who felt its strength from Atra's pseudo-appearance.

"Well fine. You mean you're one of us, right? I'll make you a mess, so just wait."

Sylvan hurried back to the kitchen to say all that.

"I'm sorry you're always a kind man. I'll help you, too."

Zofi followed Sylvan into the kitchen, grinning bitterly that he had no choice.
