180 preparations for departure




 After leaving Camilo's store, I left the city immediately. He was wary of the streets, but he kept it to a minimum and prioritized the speed of his return home. It is the same in the forest.
 In the forest, full speed ...... would have been too much for us and our luggage would have bounced around, so we ran at a reasonable speed and arrived home at a record speed.

 We cleaned up the luggage and thanked Krull for his hard work. Despite the fact that we had rushed him, Krull seemed to be in a good mood and was chirping "Krull!
 Liddy had said that magic is also a source of energy, and I wonder if that might be a factor.
 I'm very curious, but I don't have time to test it now. I have to leave tomorrow morning or so. I need to prepare for that, so I hurriedly retired to my house.

 I cut up a large portion of dried boar meat. Food is important. The rest of the things I packed in my backpack were rags and bandages that I had brought with me from the previous expedition.
What else do you need?
You're going as a blacksmith, don't you need your tools?
Yes, of course.
 I found my favorite hammer and some leftover sheet metal and put them in an empty box. I think I'm ready to go now.

"So, without further ado, I'm off again.
 I looked around at everyone at dinner and said.
"I don't know how long I'll be gone this time. I may be back in a week, or I may not be back for a month. I don't think it will be more than a month, though.
 If it took that long, a revolution would break out in the meantime, and then Helen's life would be in doubt. That would be the longest limit.

In the meantime, is there anything you're worried about? If you need anything, I can tell Camilo to deliver it to the entrance of the forest.
 Everyone pondered my words. Samija was the first to speak.
"You don't mind meat, do you?
I know what plants are edible in the forest, and we have fields.
 Liddy took over.
If I had to guess, I'd say ironstone and charcoal, but considering the amount we have in storage, I think we can manage for a month or so.
 Rique is next. I guess it was worth it to buy more than we consumed each time. It's been a while since we built the warehouse, but we're glad we did.
He said, "If we have to repair the house, we can do it ourselves. I'm sure we'll be fine.
 Deanna concluded.

So there's nothing to worry about?
"I'm worried about you, though.
 "I'm worried about you," I said, and Deanna replied.
I'm worried about you. Didn't you come home injured before?
 There's no way to apologize for that. When I shrunk a little, Liddy, who was one of the reasons, did the same.
It's not that it's Liddy's fault, you know. It's just that Eizo should take better care of himself.
 Samija and Rike nodded their heads in agreement to Deanna's words.
I'm not going to stop you because it's your choice, but don't forget that the consensus of the family is that we want you to come back safely.
I understand.
 I tried not to let the worried looks on their faces worry me, but I had to suppress the urge to swoon a little and smile as I said that.
