　I look out of the woods.

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

　There was no sign of life on the road.

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

"Mister Toka.

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

Yeah, you're looking good.

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

　We went out into the woods once.

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

　A two-seater.

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

　Weight of the luggage.

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

　Not much speed.

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

　Hoof beats and we move on.

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

　Eve and Liz are ahead of us.

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

　They were chatting, looking back at us from time to time.

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

　I spoke to Seras.

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

''Roughly how far is it from here to the demon cluster zone?

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

At this speed, we should be there in a day and a half.

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

What if we bypass the castle?

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

''If we take a detour through the defensive battlements to the south of the Demon Army zone, we'll be half a day late.

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

　This area is bordered by the Demon Army Belt.

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

　Each country is said to have placed small castles and forts.

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

　But I think we should just avoid them now.

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

Is there anything else you want me to know about the Demon Army?

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

　The basics have already been taught to me on the road to Monroy.

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

'I'm not sure if this is definitive information, but there's still one thing that bothers me.

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

What?

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

It's a special kind of demon called a 'Jinmenshu'.

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

A humanoid?　Is that one of your demons?

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

"They are mainly demons with human faces, but ...... sightings are not so common. However, it's also said that the human-faced species may be more common in the Demon Zone.

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

Not many people have seen him, but they know he's out there.

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

'Yes, sir. There's a reason for the lack of sightings.

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

　Seras' voice takes on a serious tone.

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

'It's because those who witnessed it were probably nearly killed.

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

I see.

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

　Dead people don't talk.

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

　Once dead, there are no sightings, no shit.

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

'We don't have any details, but you're known for being a vicious demon anyway. However, despite its vicious power, it doesn't seem to go out to any conspicuous places.

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

............

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

　The human species.

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

　Immediately, it hit me.

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

　A soul eater.

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

　A demon from the top layer of the discarded ruins.

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

　He was the only one that seemed different from the other demons.

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

　I see.

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

　He was a member of the human-faced demon race, right?

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

　The Golden Dwelling Demon Zone.

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

　If a demon of that level lives there, I can see why it's feared as a danger zone: ......

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

''Come to think of it, Eve, you have experience stepping into the demon cluster zone, right?

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

　Seras asked.

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

'Apparently,'

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

Was that part of the reason you wanted to bring her into the fold?

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

Well.

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

　That was certainly one of the reasons.

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

'By the way, Seras, how are things going with Liz?　Do you think you can make it work?

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

Yes, ...... she's a very good kid.

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

　High Elves and Dark Elves.

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

　I had an image of them being somehow at odds with each other.

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

　I was slightly apprehensive about that: .......

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

　I was relieved that it seemed to be a problem.

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

　Seras looks forward.

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

''But are you sure you want to keep her like this?''

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

'Yeah, I'm taking her to the demon cluster zone. Eve is going to take that girl with her, and she won't want to leave Eve. As long as they don't refuse, I'm going to continue to enter the Devil's Belt.

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

Are you okay?

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

I won't stop at nothing. I'll get Eve and that girl to the forbidden witch, no matter what.

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

　Huh, Seras smiled.

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

'You're still very kind, after all.'

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

You and Eve have overestimated my worth.

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

Is that right?

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

Yeah. There's also a more practical reason for helping and bringing him into the fold.

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

　He re-hugs Seras' body and continues.

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

'I wanted to bring Eve into the fold for a couple of reasons. Firstly, as I said before, Eve is a good warrior. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. And thirdly, because of the forbidden witches, I thought that Eve should be accompanied by them.

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

And, say, ......?　

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

There's one crucial difference between us and Eve.

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

　The Forbidden Witch lives in hiding.

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

　So she won't be easy to see.

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

　But

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

'You said that Eve owes a debt of gratitude to the witch?

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

Oh, I see.

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

　Seras seemed to have guessed.

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

'Yes. It would be easier to make contact with the witches if Eve, who has more than a little connection to them, was with them than if we, who have no connection to them, went to visit them.

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

　If you think about it, it's normal.

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

　A person with a connection.

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

　A person who has no connection to the city.

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

　Naturally, if you go through someone who has an association with you, it will be easier to contact them.

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

　It's a lot more like an introduction from an acquaintance.

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

I'm not sure if I'm familiar with them or not, considering the way Eve talks about them. ......

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

　There is a peculiar sense of distance in the way Eve speaks.

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

　At least it doesn't feel like a companion or friend.

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

　I'd like to ask him about his relationship with the witch later.

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

　And the nature of the debt of gratitude.

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

'Oh, and Liz, it's Liz: ......

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

　Seras looks back at me.

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

'Is it Liz?'

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

Yeah.

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

　That's what I heard on my first day at the tavern in Monroi.

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

'That witch who's said to be in the Great Ruins Zone?　You're a dark elf, I believe.'

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

You're talking about the forbidden witch, aren't you?　And--

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

　Seras looks at the horse Liz rides.

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

'Liz, too, dark elf ......'

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

We're the 'visitors' who helped a girl of our own kind who was in a bad way. If we can get Eve and Liz to explain the truth to us, the witches will have no doubt about it. If done well, what we did could elicit a positive response from the forbidden witch.

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

　So Liz will survive, no matter what the cost.

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

　I'm going to take her to the witch.

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

I see, you have foreseen that far ahead: ...... That's a real Toka-dono!

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

The more cards you have on hand, the better. That's why it's all about math.

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

　I look at Liz.

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

　She was chatting happily with Eve.

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

'Just, well--'

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

　Reminds me of Liz when I first met her at the White Foot Pavilion.

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

　.............

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

　I was being abused by my own parents.

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

　Liz, who was being abused by her mistress.

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

　At that time, the two unexpectedly came together.

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

　A past self that can no longer be saved.

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

　Lizbeth, who might still be able to be saved.

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

　Like Selous says, she's a good girl.

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

It's dozens of times better to have ...... a happy laugh than to have a kid like that shaking and crying. No matter what you think.

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

Yeah.

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

　His voice softened and Seras agreed.

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

'I agree,'

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

　The first to react was Eve.

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

　Next was Pigimaru.

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

　I was the third. I was the first to notice it.

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

"This sound--

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

　I look back.

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

　I could see the lights.

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

　Multiple lights.

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

"Lord Toka.

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

　Seras, with a mysterious look on his face, calls out to me.

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

'Oh,'

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

　Considering how long we've been out of King's Landing, it seems like we're moving too fast: .......

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

'They're after us.'
