"What's going on, ay?　We're fighting, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Affirmative, Mr. Alphonse. We are currently engaged deep in the forest here. We are counterattacking with magic guns. May I continue?

"Of course. The Eye is the most important thing. Don't hesitate.

　A forest of illusions that you can enter and leave before you know it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had not expected to find such a mysterious place so close to the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not as if the existence of this place was hidden from the public.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, there were assassins who had been supporting the Orient behind the scenes in this forest, where it was forbidden to enter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it seems that Ai is fighting with those assassins.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps due to an illusion or some other influence, Ai seems to have succeeded in advancing deeper into the forest without being affected by it.

　As a result, he encountered an assassin deep in the forest, and a battle ensued.

　As I gathered magic power, I could hear the sound of Ai fighting with a magic gun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　For the time being, as long as I can hear this sound, I think Ai is safe deep in the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I am not without anxiety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic gun that Ai uses is a strong weapon that can attack from a long distance, but it is not absolutely invincible.

　Besides, we don't know what kind of opponents we might face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that in mind, I moved deeper and deeper to get in to help as quickly as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, sir. You're going the wrong way, Mr. Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oops. Oh, no. I thought I was listening to the sound, but I was going in the wrong direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But as I tried to hurry, Ai, who was standing next to me, pulled my hand and called out to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She said, "You're not going deep into the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's strange.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought I was going in a straight direction, but I must have taken a wrong turn again.

"Why does this happen in this forest?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think it is probably due to the vegetation in this forest."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Vegetation?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. I said that this forest might be in a state similar to that of the former Hermes territory, but now I am wondering if that is not the case. In fact, I think that the effect of this forest to lead others astray does not originate from humans, but from the forest itself."

"What do you mean?　Are you saying that the forest is trying to get rid of humans?　Is that possible?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It is possible. The other terminal that preceded us into the forest found a large tree there. It is an old tree and there is a possibility that the tree is inhabited by a spirit.

"...... spirit. Oh, right, a wood nymph. Is there a tree spirit in these woods like the one that Kyle has a contract with?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. The spirit contracted by Mr. Kyle Reed is different. They are humanoid spirits with personalities of their own. Unlike them, the spirits that reside in the large trees may be more like the World Tree in the northern part of the Balka Line.

　Ai takes me by the hand as we walk through the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While we were there, Ai gave us some information.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to him, the strange characteristics of this forest did not seem to have been created by human hands.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If anything, it might have something to do with the large trees deep in the forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A forest, a large tree, and a spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This reminds me of my brother Kyle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once upon a time, he made a contract with the World Tree, an ancient sacred tree deep in the vast forest, and as a result, he obtained a tree spirit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Come to think of it, I think Brother Ars mentioned something about that time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The old tree called "the world tree" somehow called only Kyle by a thought.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, Brother Ars and Mr. Thanatos, who were with him, were not only not called but were even prevented from coming close to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I remember that the trees in the forest attacked them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Branches and roots were moving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Maybe something similar is happening in this forest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the way, it seems that the movement of the forest does not matter to Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He can perceive his surroundings accurately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is likely that the movement of the surrounding trees does not confuse her.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, they are perfectly aware of their location.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is due to the interrelationships and the skyward perception.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By interrelationship, they mean that they can sense their exact location anytime and anywhere by the positional relationship between each individual as a god's dependent called Eye, the bracelets we wear, and the observation satellites in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To be honest, I don't fully understand what this means.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But anyway, it is impossible for Ai to lose her location.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With Ai's hand in my hand, I finally succeeded in reaching the back of the forest without leaving it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I made my way through the dense trees to an open space.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sun shone through the branches of the tall trees, and the square became a bright place, a complete change from the gloomy atmosphere it had been before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There, as Ai had said, there was a large tree, Ai with a magic gun in his hand, and many people lying on the ground.
