When we talk about the forest, of course we talk about its clear weather, the fresh air, the pleasant humidity in everywhere, and the restful soft temperature that awakens our memories of home –
In short, it is just a very simple jungle.
Renaus and Renal are driving a carriage pulled by some creature and going very smoothly forward; Nalesha picked a leaf from the window and is tracing the texture on the leaf; Emile is taking a nap with a listless look; And I am looking at the scenery outside the window idly.
In short, there are two words -
So-boring.
After three hours, I finally could not resist to ask the two prisoners that temporarily as the carriage drivers in front -
"Nah, how much longer could we arrive?"
"Sister, this group of ladies actually can't even stand less than half a day."
"Well, after all, they are pampered young ladies, they will not understand our pain of running five days on the plain from day to night, and only have red bean bread for food, my bitter sister."
...... Now I really want to lock them up again, this time I definitely won’t give anything to them.
"By the way, Emile, didn't you just use a little time to catch up with us who have left for four days?"
"...... Yeah."
Emile yawned lazily.
"Then can't you make us a little faster?"
"...... No."
"...... Why?"
"...... I don't know."
Damn, this group of people united to make fun of me?
“The elf’s forest is protected by the elf ancient wood, if we try to enter, we must go along the current path, and our speed must be limited, otherwise we couldn’t see the elf’s forest even if we walk through the entire forest."
Nalesha finished counting exactly how many branches are on her leaf and looked up towards me to explain.
Something like a small world in a self-contained space? ......
"So," I leaned my neck in front to ask the maid in front of me, "how did you guys know the way in? I thought Elysis and Griffin didn’t contact each other decades ago?"
"The Lord sometimes sends us to Griffin to deliver something, maybe once every few years, and you guys are the biggest thing we've ever delivered."
"Sister, you just referred to them as things."
"Yah, I accidentally said what I really meant ......"
I am now really more and more eagerly to lock them up again.
Emile stretched lazily and leaned on my shoulder-
"Speaking of which, it's still so boring, it would be nice if something suddenly fell from the sky."
"I think the situation you're talking about is very problematic, Lord Emile. I'm still not willing to have my life taken away by something like an unidentified celestial body falling from the sky for now."
"It's okay, even if something like that does fall, I will protect you, don't worry about it."
Emile bent down, picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground, snapped hier fingers to make it fly up the dense woods above us, and then lifted her arms -
"Like when it falls, I'll maintain this field of reflection, and after that - -"
"Ouch!?"
A scream came from above the woods, and a black shadow fell straight down--
"After--"
The black shadow hit on Emile's reflection field, and then flew sideways for tens of meters.
"After that ...... it will fly out like this ......"
We followed Emile's sight towards that place - -
The black shadow fell in the damp, soft mud of the forest.
It seemed to be the shape of a man ......
