33 a lost forest




I, who unexpectedly demonstrated the godlike reasoning power of magic.

Afterwards, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce increases its security.
Not even a cat's cub, let alone an assassin, is allowed in.

The servants have been thoroughly vetted, but no other suspicious characters have been found.

I think we're okay for now, but that's not the fundamental solution.

Viktor lets out a bitter laugh.

Karen is also frightened and wants to do something about it, but she refuses to do so.

This is a dispute between the Anaheim and Garde merchants. We can't involve the travelers. And you're going to draw the holy sword, aren't you?

And then you are admonished.

Lunamaria also said, "The only way to resolve conflicts between organizations is to solve them.

And I want to draw the holy sword as soon as possible", so I decide to follow their opinion.
.
Incidentally, the Holy Sword is said to be located in the woods east of the city of Northwoods .


Also known as the Forest of the Lost--


It seems to be lodged in the heart of the forest, called

Victor assures us that we have permission to enter the forest of wanderings and that if we can pull out the holy sword, he will give us possession of it as well, and we leave his mansion.

Karen waved us off until the very end.


Thus began the journey to get the holy sword.
We return to the original twosome.

Mr. Cullen was a noisy man, but I will miss him.

"Yeah. It's quieter.

Lunamaría is classified as rather taciturn, not talkative.

Doesn't waste much time talking.

Karen, on the other hand, talks like she was born out of the corner of her mouth.

I didn't get bored during the trip.

"Well, it's a good thing I'm not traveling to relieve boredom.

"Then why are you traveling?

I put my finger to my chin, "Hmmm," I croak, but I gather my thoughts and tell her.

If I had to, I'd say it's about spreading the word. If I spent my life in the mountains, I'd be a narrow-minded person.

"Do you want to have a broader perspective?

"Well. My mom and dad always told me to have a higher, wider view. Have a higher, wider perspective. To see the big picture.

Can you feed?

That remains to be seen, but the journey is fun.

and walked out the gate in the city of Northwood.

They scrutinized me as I entered, but they didn't tell me how to leave.

I guess they'd be too busy investigating the people who are leaving.

We left the city without incident and headed east.


The woods to the east, where the holy sword is pierced, is about four days' walk from the city of Northwoods.

If Karen had been there, it would have taken twice that long, but Lunamaria was in good shape and could arrive on a normal schedule.

The forest was right in front of her.

This is the forest of wanderers?

Yes. There seems to be no mistaking the nickname.

Viktor told me. Victor said that this forest is surrounded by a mysterious spirit power so they can't cut down the trees. They say fairies live here.

"Well, fairy.

That fairy is going to lead the travelers inside astray.

That's not good news. Will you be able to get to the holy sword in one piece?

"I don't know about that, but I'm sure you will go to the Holy Sword no matter what the odds are?

To which Lunamaria replies with a cheerful and immediate "yes.

I knew the answer, so I'm not surprised now, but as we're about to enter the forest, we find ourselves in the middle of a noisy crowd.

The noisy people are coming.


"Hey, brave man, the forest is in sight.
"It's kind of gloomy and scary.
Don't worry, you have the most powerful sword in the world with you.


I think I've heard this yellow cheer before.
And he was called the Sword Warrior.

I turned around and there was a hero I'd met the other day.

Did he say his name was Levin?

He was a handsome, slender, handsome man with a female companion named the Brave Girls, a hero who filled his party with women.

He walked bravely with his hands under his arm.

At first he pretended not to notice us, but before entering the forest, he deliberately stopped and said, "...... oops, you look familiar".

The squire, Lynx, also stops and bows his head with a smile.

Good to see you again. It's good to see you again, at the foot of Table Mountain. Is your name ...... Willie?

"Mr. Will!

And replies Luna Maria.
You're being wonderfully provocative.

I was. I was. Excuse me, excuse me. I can't remember the names of those weaker than me. I mean, I can't remember the names of anyone in this world. That's why they're all called honey.



Honey No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 don't seem bothered by it, but instead praise it as "wild.

Well, you'll learn next time because you're going to be a sight to behold, Bill.

"Mr. Will!

Raise your voice, Lunamaria.

What I cared more about was why the brave man was here. I'll ask him.

The brave man says as if it were a matter of course.

There's only one reason for a brave man to come to this gloomy place. I've come to draw the holy sword deep in the woods.

The Holy Sword is from the Anaheim Trading Company.

"The holy sword belongs to the brave. That's why only I can pull it out.

So-so, so-so is the follow-up of the heroic girls No. 2, but they have a point.

It was logical that the one who can pull out the holy sword should declare its owner.

But will you pull the holy sword? The holy sword is said to be for brave men only, but I heard that you don't know which one.

Lunamaria asks.

In this world there are heroes of the sword, of the shield, and of the wisdom.

Whose equipment is the Durandal that lies in this forest is unknown.

Levin answers that simple question.

"Hey, hey! Are you worried about that? I'm a 'sword' hero, I should be able to equip any holy sword.

Well, that makes sense, but it's baseless.

But pointing that out wouldn't stop him from entering the forest.

If even Karen was here, she could insist that he not enter the Anaheim family's land, but she isn't.

As I was thinking about this, Levin the Swordsman went straight into the depths of the forest.

As I watched in silence, I saw someone pulling my sleeve.
The person pulling my sleeve is Lunamaria.

She's not willing to fall behind the hero.
She's rushing to get in.

Well, that's fine, but the weird body closeness bothered me.

He said he was getting into a rivalry with the hero girls.

She's a troubled maiden.
